Jesus

"Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

"Come, follow me, and I will send you out to fish for people."

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."

"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth."

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled."

"Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy."

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."

"Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me."

"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?"

"You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden."

"Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."

"But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."

"Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."

"This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."

"Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors."

"And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."

"If you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."

"You cannot serve both God and money."

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear."

"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

"See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these."

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged."

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

"Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it."

"By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?"

"It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick."

"I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

"Take heart, daughter, your faith has healed you."

"According to your faith let it be done to you."

"According to your faith let it be done to you."

"See that no one knows about this."

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."

"If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out?"

"How much more valuable is a person than a sheep!"

"Stretch out your hand."

"A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up."

"The seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown."

"The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree."

"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field."

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it."

"Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish."

"Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."

"You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

"And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?"

"These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me."

"What goes into someone's mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them."

"But what about you? Who do you say I am?"

"Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven."

"And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it."

"Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns."

"Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me."

"Get up. Don't be afraid."

"Don't tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."

"Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

"Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

"Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

"Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

"And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me."

"What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off?"

"In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish."

"If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you."

"Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

"Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven."

"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them."

"Not seven times, but seventy-seven times."

"Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants."

"Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?"

"Haven't you read that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female'?"

"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."

"Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."

"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

"If you want to enter life, keep the commandments."

"Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only One who is good."

"If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

"Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven."

"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."

"With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

"Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

"And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life."

"But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first."

"For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard."

"Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?"

"So the last will be first, and the first will be last."

"You don't know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?"

"You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them."

"Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave."

"Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

"Yes, have you never read, 'From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise'?"

"Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done."

"If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

"I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things."

"John's baptism—where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or of human origin?"

"Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things."

"What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, 'Son, go and work today in the vineyard.'"

"Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you."

"For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did."

"Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard."

"When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit."

"Last of all, he sent his son to them. 'They will respect my son,' he said."

"Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?"

"Have you never read in the Scriptures: 'The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone'?"

"Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit."

"The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son."

"The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come."

"So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find."

"Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?"

"For many are invited, but few are chosen."

"You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me?"

"Show me the coin used for paying the tax."

"Whose image is this? And whose inscription?"

"So give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."

"You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God."

"At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven."

"But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?"

"He is not the God of the dead but of the living."

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."

"This is the first and greatest commandment."

"And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"

"All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

"What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?"

"How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him 'Lord'?"

"If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?"

"The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat."

"So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach."

"They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them."

"Everything they do is done for people to see."

"But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers."

"And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven."

"Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah."

"The greatest among you will be your servant."

"For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people's faces."

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are."

"Woe to you, blind guides! You say, 'If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.'"

"You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?"

"You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former."

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness."

"You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel."

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence."

"Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean."

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean."

"In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness."

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous."

"And you say, 'If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.'"

"So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets."

"Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started!"

"You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?"

"Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town."

"And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar."

"Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation."

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing."

"Look, your house is left to you desolate."

"For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"

"Do you see all these things? Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down."

"Watch out that no one deceives you."

"For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Messiah,' and will deceive many."

"You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come."

"Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places."

"All these are the beginning of birth pains."

"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me."

"At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other."

"And many false prophets will appear and deceive many people."

"Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold."

"But the one who stands firm to the end will be saved."

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."

"So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—"

"then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains."

"Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house."

"Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak."

"How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!"

"Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath."

"For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again."

"If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened."

"At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Messiah!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it."

"For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect."

"See, I have told you ahead of time."

"So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the wilderness,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it."

"For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man."

"Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather."

"Immediately after the distress of those days 'the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'"

"Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory."

"And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other."

"Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near."

"Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door."

"Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened."

"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away."

"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

"As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man."

"For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;"

"and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man."

"Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left."

"Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left."

"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come."

"But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into."

"So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."

"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?"

"It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns."

"Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions."

"But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time,'"

"and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards."

"The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of."

"He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

"At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom."

"Five of them were foolish and five were wise."

"The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them."

"The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps."

"The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep."

"At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'"

"Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps."

"The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.'"

"'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'"

"But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut."

"Later the others also came. 'Lord, Lord,' they said, 'open the door for us!'"

"But he replied, 'Truly I tell you, I don't know you.'"

"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour."

"Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them."

"To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey."

"Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!"

"Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!"

"You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?"

"Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest."

"So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags."

"For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them."

"And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne."

"All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats."

"He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left."

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world."

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,"

"I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'"

"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?"

"When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?"

"When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'"

"The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'"

"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels."

"For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,"

"I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'"

"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'"

"He will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'"

"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

"Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me."

"The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me."

"When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial."

"Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her."

"Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me."

"The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me."

"The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born."

"You have said so."

"Take and eat; this is my body."

"Take and eat; this is my body."

"Drink from it, all of you."

"Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."

"This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."

"I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."

"This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'"

"But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee."

"Truly I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times."

"Sit here while I go over there and pray."

"My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me."

"My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."

"My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."

"Couldn't you men keep watch with me for one hour?"

"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

"My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done."

"Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners."

"Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!"

"Do what you came for, friend."

"Put your sword back in its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword."

"Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?"

"But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?"

"In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, 'Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me."

"But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled."

"You have said so. But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."

"You have said so."

"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

"Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

"And teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

"The time has come. The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!"

"Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come."

"Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?"

"Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, take your mat and walk'?"

"But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins."

"I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home."

"It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

"The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath."

"So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."

"How can Satan drive out Satan?"

"If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand."

"If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand."

"In fact, no one can enter a strong man's house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man's house."

"Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven."

"Who are my mother and my brothers?"

"Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother."

"Quiet! Be still!"

"Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"

"What is your name?"

"Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you."

"Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."

"Don't be afraid; just believe."

"Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep."

"Little girl, I say to you, get up!"

"You give them something to eat."

"How many loaves do you have? Go and see."

"Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to it."

"Be careful. Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod."

"Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?"

"Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don't you remember?"

"Do you see anything?"

"Don't even go into the village."

"Who do people say I am?"

"But what about you? Who do you say I am?"

"The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again."

"Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me."

"For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it."

"What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?"

"Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?"

"If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."

"Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power."

"This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!"

"Don't tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."

"Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?"

"To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected?"

"But I tell you, Elijah has come, and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him."

"What are you arguing with them about?"

"If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea."

"If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out."

"And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell."

"Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!"

"Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live."

"Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill."

"Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you."

"For he is the one God the Father has placed his seal of approval on."

"The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

"Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven."

"For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

"I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."

"I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."

"But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe."

"All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away."

"For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me."

"And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day."

"For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day."

"Stop grumbling among yourselves."

"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day."

"It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me."

"No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father."

"Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life."

"I am the bread of life."

"Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died."

"But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die."

"I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

"Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you."

"Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day."

"For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink."

"Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them."

"Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me."

"This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever."

"Does this offend you?"

"Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before!"

"The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life."

"Yet there are some of you who do not believe."

"This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them."

"You do not want to leave too, do you?"

"Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!"

"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."

"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."

"It is finished."

"Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you."

"Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."

"Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
