WHAT JESUS SAID

A Tovarish Toucan Production

For the love of my life Bridget Evans
because she has wrought a good
work upon me and for my dear
friend, brother Frank Pomeroy, for
the anointing of the sick. –Nick

Matthew 3:15 “Let it be so now; it is
proper for us to do this to fulfill all
righteousness.” Then John consented.

Matthew 4:4 “It is written: ‘Man shall not

live on bread alone, but on every word
that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”

Matthew 4:7 “It is also written: ‘Do not

put the Lord your God to the test.’ ”

Matthew 4:10 “Away from me, Satan!

For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your
God, and serve him only.’ ”

Matthew 4:17 “Repent, for the kingdom

of heaven has come near.”

Matthew 4:19 “Come, follow me, and I

will send you out to fish for people.”

Matthew 5:3-5:48 3 “Blessed are the

poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are
the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be
shown mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in
heart, for they will see God. 9 Blessed are
the peacemakers, for they will be called
children of God. 10 Blessed are those who
are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11
“Blessed are you when people insult you,
persecute you and falsely say all kinds of
evil against you because of me. 12
Rejoice and be glad, because great is
your reward in heaven, for in the same
way they persecuted the prophets who
were before you. 13 “You are the salt of
the earth. But if the salt loses its
saltiness, how can it be made salty again?
It is no longer good for anything, except
to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
14 “You are the light of the world. A town
built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15
Neither do people light a lamp and put it
under a bowl. Instead they put it on its
stand, and it gives light to everyone in
the house. 16 In the same way, let your
light shine before others, that they may
see your good deeds and glorify your
Father in heaven. 17 “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. 18 For truly I tell
you, until heaven and earth disappear,
not the smallest letter, not the least
stroke of a pen, will by any means
disappear from the Law until everything is
accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who
sets aside one of the least of these
commands and teaches others
accordingly will be called least in the
kingdom of heaven, but whoever
practices and teaches these commands
will be called great in the kingdom of
heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your
righteousness surpasses that of the
Pharisees and the teachers of the law,
you will certainly not enter the kingdom
of heaven. 21 “You have heard that it was
said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not
murder, and anyone who murders will be
subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you
that anyone who is angry with a brother
or sister will be subject to judgment.
Again, anyone who says to a brother or
sister, ‘Raca ,’ is answerable to the court.
And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be
in danger of the fire of hell. 23
“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at
the altar and there remember that your
brother or sister has something against
you, 24 leave your gift there in front of
the altar. First go and be reconciled to
them; then come and offer your gift. 25
“Settle matters quickly with your
adversary who is taking you to court. Do
it while you are still together on the way,
or your adversary may hand you over to
the judge, and the judge may hand you
over to the officer, and you may be
thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you
will not get out until you have paid the
last penny. 27 “You have heard that it
was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’
28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at
a woman lustfully has already committed
adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your
right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it
out and throw it away. It is better for you
to lose one part of your body than for
your whole body to be thrown into hell.
30 And if your right hand causes you to
stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is
better for you to lose one part of your
body than for your whole body to go into
hell. 31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who
divorces his wife must give her a
certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I tell you
that anyone who divorces his wife, except
for sexual immorality, makes her the
victim of adultery, and anyone who
marries a divorced woman commits
adultery. 33 “Again, you have heard that
it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not
break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the
vows you have made.’ 34 But I tell you,
do not swear an oath at all: either by
heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 or by
the earth, for it is his footstool; or by
Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great
King. 36 And do not swear by your head,
for you cannot make even one hair white
or black. 37 All you need to say is simply
‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes
from the evil one. 38 “You have heard
that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth
for tooth.’ 39 But I tell you, do not resist
an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the
right cheek, turn to them the other cheek
also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you
and take your shirt, hand over your coat
as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one
mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to
the one who asks you, and do not turn
away from the one who wants to borrow
from you. 43 “You have heard that it was
said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your
enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your
enemies and pray for those who
persecute you, 45 that you may be
children of your Father in heaven. He
causes his sun to rise on the evil and the
good, and sends rain on the righteous
and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those
who love you, what reward will you get?
Are not even the tax collectors doing
that? 47 And if you greet only your own
people, what are you doing more than
others? Do not even pagans do that? 48
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly
Father is perfect.

Matthew 6:1-6:34 1 “Be careful not to

practice your righteousness in front of
others to be seen by them. If you do, you
will have no reward from your Father in
heaven. 2 “So when you give to the
needy, do not announce it with trumpets,
as the hypocrites do in the synagogues
and on the streets, to be honored by
others. Truly I tell you, they have received
their reward in full. 3 But when you give
to the needy, do not let your left hand
know what your right hand is doing, 4 so
that your giving may be in secret. Then
your Father, who sees what is done in
secret, will reward you. 5 “And when you
pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for
they love to pray standing in the
synagogues and on the street corners to
be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they
have received their reward in full. 6 But
when you pray, go into your room, close
the door and pray to your Father, who is
unseen. Then your Father, who sees what
is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And
when you pray, do not keep on babbling
like pagans, for they think they will be
heard because of their many words. 8 Do
not be like them, for your Father knows
what you need before you ask him. 9
“This, then, is how you should pray: “
‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your
name, 10 your kingdom come, your will
be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11
Give us today our daily bread. 12 And
forgive us our debts, as we also have
forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not
into temptation, but deliver us from the
evil one. ’ 14 For if you forgive other
people when they sin against you, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15
But if you do not forgive others their sins,
your Father will not forgive your sins. 16
“When you fast, do not look somber as
the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their
faces to show others they are fasting.
Truly I tell you, they have received their
reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put
oil on your head and wash your face, 18
so that it will not be obvious to others
that you are fasting, but only to your
Father, who is unseen; and your Father,
who sees what is done in secret, will
reward you. Treasures in Heaven 19 “Do
not store up for yourselves treasures on
earth, where moths and vermin destroy,
and where thieves break in and steal. 20
But store up for yourselves treasures in
heaven, where moths and vermin do not
destroy, and where thieves do not break
in and steal. 21 For where your treasure
is, there your heart will be also. 22“The
eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes
are healthy, your whole body will be full
of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy,
your whole body will be full of darkness. If
then the light within you is darkness, how
great is that darkness! 24 “No one can
serve two masters. Either you will hate
the one and love the other, or you will be
devoted to the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve both God and money.
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry
about your life, what you will eat or drink;
or about your body, what you will wear. Is
not life more than food, and the body
more than clothes? 26 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? 27 Can
any one of you by worrying add a single
hour to your life? 28 “And why do you
worry about clothes? See how the flowers
of the field grow. They do not labor or
spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even
Solomon in all his splendor was dressed
like one of these. 30 If that is how God
clothes the grass of the field, which is
here today and tomorrow is thrown into
the fire, will he not much more clothe you
—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry,
saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What
shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32 For the pagans run after all these
things, and your heavenly Father knows
that you need them. 33 But seek first his
kingdom and his righteousness, and all
these things will be given to you as well.
34 Therefore do not worry about
tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about
itself. Each day has enough trouble of its
own.

Matthew 7:1-7:27 1 “Do not judge, or

you too will be judged. 2 For in the same
way you judge others, you will be judged,
and with the measure you use, it will be
measured to you. 3 “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? 4 How can you say to your
brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of
your eye,’ when all the time there is a
plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite,
first take the plank out of your own eye,
and then you will see clearly to remove
the speck from your brother’s eye. 6 “Do
not give dogs what is sacred; do not
throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they
may trample them under their feet, and
turn and tear you to pieces. 7 “Ask and it
will be given to you; seek and you will
find; knock and the door will be opened to
you. 8 For everyone who asks receives;
the one who seeks finds; and to the one
who knocks, the door will be opened.
9“Which of you, if your son asks for
bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he
asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11If
you, then, though you are evil, know how
to give good gifts to your children, how
much more will your Father in heaven
give good gifts to those who ask him! 12
So in everything, do to others what you
would have them do to you, for this sums
up the Law and the Prophets. 13 “Enter
through the narrow gate. For wide is the
gate and broad is the road that leads to
destruction, and many enter through it.
14 But small is the gate and narrow the
road that leads to life, and only a few find
it. 15 “Watch out for false prophets. They
come to you in sheep’s clothing, but
inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By
their fruit you will recognize them. Do
people pick grapes from thornbushes, or
figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every
good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree
bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot
bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear
good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not
bear good fruit is cut down and thrown
into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you
will recognize them. 21 “Not everyone
who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter
the kingdom of heaven, but only the one
who does the will of my Father who is in
heaven. 22Many will say to me on that
day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in
your name and in your name drive out
demons and in your name perform many
miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly,
‘I never knew you. Away from me, you
evildoers!’ 24 “Therefore everyone who
hears these words of mine and puts them
into practice is like a wise man who built
his house on the rock. 25 The rain came
down, the streams rose, and the winds
blew and beat against that house; yet it
did not fall, because it had its foundation
on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears
these words of mine and does not put
them into practice is like a foolish man
who built his house on sand. 27 The rain
came down, the streams rose, and the
winds blew and beat against that house,
and it fell with a great crash.”

Matthew 8:3 I am willing; Be clean.

Matthew 8:4 “See that you don’t tell

anyone. But go, show yourself to the
priest and offer the gift Moses
commanded, as a testimony to them.”

Matthew 8:7 “Shall I come and heal

him?”
Matthew 8:10-8:12 “Truly I tell you, I
have not found anyone in Israel with such
great faith. 11 I say to you that many will
come from the east and the west, and will
take their places at the feast with
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom
of heaven. 12 But the subjects of the
kingdom will be thrown outside, into the
darkness, where there will be weeping
and gnashing of teeth.”

Matthew 8:13 “Go! Let it be done just as

you believed it would.”

Matthew 8:20 “Foxes have dens and

birds have nests, but the Son of Man has
no place to lay his head.”

Matthew 8:22 “Follow me, and let the

dead bury their own dead.”

Matthew 8:26 “You of little faith, why

are you so afraid?”
Matthew 8:32 “Go!”

Matthew 9:2 “Take heart, son; your sins

are forgiven.

Matthew 9:4-9:6 “Why do you entertain

evil thoughts in your hearts? 5 Which is
easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or
to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 6 But I want
you to know that the Son of Man has
authority on earth to forgive sins.” “Get
up, take your mat and go home.”

Matthew 9:9 Follow me

Matthew 9:12-13 “It is not the healthy

who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But
go and learn what this means: ‘I desire
mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come
to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Matthew 9:15-9:17 “How can the

guests of the bridegroom mourn while he
is with them? The time will come when
the bridegroom will be taken from them;
then they will fast. 16 “No one sews a
patch of unshrunk cloth on an old
garment, for the patch will pull away from
the garment, making the tear worse. 17
Neither do people pour new wine into old
wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst;
the wine will run out and the wineskins
will be ruined. No, they pour new wine
into new wineskins, and both are
preserved.”

Matthew 9:22 “Take heart, daughter,”

“your faith has healed you.”

Matthew 9:24 “Go away. The girl is not

dead but asleep.”

Matthew 9:28 “Do you believe that I am

able to do this?”
Matthew 9:29 “According to your faith
let it be done to you”

Matthew 9:30 “See that no one knows

about this.”

Matthew 9:37-38 “The harvest is

plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask
the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send
out workers into his harvest field.”

Matthew 10:5-10:42 “Do not go among

the Gentiles or enter any town of the
Samaritans. 6 Go rather to the lost sheep
of Israel. 7 As you go, proclaim this
message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has
come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the
dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,
drive out demons. Freely you have
received; freely give. 9 “Do not get any
gold or silver or copper to take with you
in your belts— 10 no bag for the journey
or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the
worker is worth his keep. 11 Whatever
town or village you enter, search there for
some worthy person and stay at their
house until you leave. 12 As you enter the
home, give it your greeting. 13 If the
home is deserving, let your peace rest on
it; if it is not, let your peace return to you.
14If anyone will not welcome you or listen
to your words, leave that home or town
and shake the dust off your feet. 15 Truly
I tell you, it will be more bearable for
Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of
judgment than for that town. 16 “I am
sending you out like sheep among
wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes
and as innocent as doves. 17 Be on your
guard; you will be handed over to the
local councils and be flogged in the
synagogues. 18 On my account you will
be brought before governors and kings as
witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. 19
But when they arrest you, do not worry
about what to say or how to say it. At that
time you will be given what to say, 20 for
it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit
of your Father speaking through you. 21
“Brother will betray brother to death, and
a father his child; children will rebel
against their parents and have them put
to death. 22 You will be hated by
everyone because of me, but the one who
stands firm to the end will be saved. 23
When you are persecuted in one place,
flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will
not finish going through the towns of
Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24“The student is not above the teacher,
nor a servant above his master. 25 It is
enough for students to be like their
teachers, and servants like their masters.
If the head of the house has been called
Beelzebul, how much more the members
of his household! 26 “So do not be afraid
of them, for there is nothing concealed
that will not be disclosed, or hidden that
will not be made known. 27 What I tell
you in the dark, speak in the daylight;
what is whispered in your ear, proclaim
from the roofs. 28 Do not be afraid of
those who kill the body but cannot kill the
soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can
destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are
not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet
not one of them will fall to the ground
outside your Father’s care. 30 And even
the very hairs of your head are all
numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are
worth more than many sparrows. 32
“Whoever acknowledges me before
others, I will also acknowledge before my
Father in heaven. 33 But whoever
disowns me before others, I will disown
before my Father in heaven. 34 “Do not
suppose that I have come to bring peace
to the earth. I did not come to bring
peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to
turn “ ‘a man against his father, a
daughter against her mother, a daughter-
in-law against her mother-in-law 36 a
man’s enemies will be the members of his
own household.’ 37 “Anyone who loves
their father or mother more than me is
not worthy of me; anyone who loves their
son or daughter more than me is not
worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take
up their cross and follow me is not worthy
of me. 39 Whoever finds their life will lose
it, and whoever loses their life for my
sake will find it. 40 “Anyone who
welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone
who welcomes me welcomes the one who
sent me. 41 Whoever welcomes a prophet
as a prophet will receive a prophet’s
reward, and whoever welcomes a
righteous person as a righteous person
will receive a righteous person’s reward.
42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold
water to one of these little ones who is
my disciple, truly I tell you, that person
will certainly not lose their reward.”

Matthew 11:4-6 “Go back and report to

John what you hear and see: 5 The blind
receive sight, the lame walk, those who
have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear,
the dead are raised, and the good news is
proclaimed to the poor. 6 Blessed is
anyone who does not stumble on account
of me.”

Matthew 11:6 Blessed is anyone who

does not stumble on account of me.”

Matthew 11:7-11:19 “What did you go

out into the wilderness to see? A reed
swayed by the wind? 8 If not, what did
you go out to see? A man dressed in fine
clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes
are in kings’ palaces. 9 Then what did you
go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you,
and more than a prophet. 10 This is the
one about whom it is written: “ ‘I will send
my messenger ahead of you, who will
prepare your way before you.’ 11 Truly I
tell you, among those born of women
there has not risen anyone greater than
John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in
the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 From the days of John the Baptist until
now, the kingdom of heaven has been
subjected to violence, and violent people
have been raiding it. 13 For all the
Prophets and the Law prophesied until
John. 14 And if you are willing to accept it,
he is the Elijah who was to come. 15
Whoever has ears, let them hear. 16 “To
what can I compare this generation? They
are like children sitting in the
marketplaces and calling out to others:
17 “ ‘We played the pipe for you, and you
did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you
did not mourn.’ 18 For John came neither
eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has
a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came eating
and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a
glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax
collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is
proved right by her deeds.”
Matthew 11:21-24 21 “Woe to you,
Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if
the miracles that were performed in you
had been performed in Tyre and Sidon,
they would have repented long ago in
sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I tell you, it
will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon
on the day of judgment than for you. 23
And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to
the heavens? No, you will go down to
Hades. For if the miracles that were
performed in you had been performed in
Sodom, it would have remained to this
day. 24 But I tell you that it will be more
bearable for Sodom on the day of
judgment than for you.”

Matthew 11:25-30 “I praise you, Father,

Lord of heaven and earth, because you
have hidden these things from the wise
and learned, and revealed them to little
children. 26 Yes, Father, for this is what
you were pleased to do. 27 “All things
have been committed to me by my
Father. No one knows the Son except the
Father, and no one knows the Father
except the Son and those to whom the
Son chooses to reveal him. 28 “Come to
me, all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest. 29 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. 30 For my yoke is
easy and my burden is light.”

Matthew 12:3-8 “Haven’t you read what

David did when he and his companions
were hungry? 4 He entered the house of
God, and he and his companions ate the
consecrated bread—which was not lawful
for them to do, but only for the priests. 5
Or haven’t you read in the Law that the
priests on Sabbath duty in the temple
desecrate the Sabbath and yet are
innocent? 6 I tell you that something
greater than the temple is here. 7 If you
had known what these words mean, ‘I
desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would
not have condemned the innocent. 8 For
the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

Matthew 12:11-12 “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? 12 How much more valuable is
a person than a sheep! Therefore it is
lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

Matthew 12:13 Stretch out your hand.

Matthew 12:25-37 “Every kingdom

divided against itself will be ruined, and
every city or household divided against
itself will not stand. 26 If Satan drives out
Satan, he is divided against himself. How
then can his kingdom stand? 27 And if I
drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom
do your people drive them out? So then,
they will be your judges. 28 But if it is by
the Spirit of God that I drive out demons,
then the kingdom of God has come upon
you. 29 “Or again, how can anyone enter
a strong man’s house and carry off his
possessions unless he first ties up the
strong man? Then he can plunder his
house. 30 “Whoever is not with me is
against me, and whoever does not gather
with me scatters. 31 And so I tell you,
every kind of sin and slander can be
forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit
will not be forgiven. 32 Anyone who
speaks a word against the Son of Man will
be forgiven, but anyone who speaks
against the Holy Spirit will not be
forgiven, either in this age or in the age
to come. 33 “Make a tree good and its
fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and
its fruit will be bad, for a tree is
recognized by its fruit. 34 You brood of
vipers, how can you who are evil say
anything good? For the mouth speaks
what the heart is full of. 35 A good man
brings good things out of the good stored
up in him, and an evil man brings evil
things out of the evil stored up in him. 36
But I tell you that everyone will have to
give account on the day of judgment for
every empty word they have spoken. 37
For by your words you will be acquitted,
and by your words you will be
condemned.”

Matthew 12:39-45 “A wicked and

adulterous generation asks for a sign! But
none will be given it except the sign of
the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was
three days and three nights in the belly of
a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be
three days and three nights in the heart
of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will
stand up at the judgment with this
generation and condemn it; for they
repented at the preaching of Jonah, and
now something greater than Jonah is
here. 42 The Queen of the South will rise
at the judgment with this generation and
condemn it; for she came from the ends
of the earth to listen to Solomon’s
wisdom, and now something greater than
Solomon is here. 43 “When an impure
spirit comes out of a person, it goes
through arid places seeking rest and does
not find it. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to
the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds
the house unoccupied, swept clean and
put in order. 45 Then it goes and takes
with it seven other spirits more wicked
than itself, and they go in and live there.
And the final condition of that person is
worse than the first. That is how it will be
with this wicked generation.”

Matthew 12:48 Who is my mother, and

who are my brothers?”

Matthew 12:49-50 “Here are my

mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever
does the will of my Father in heaven is
my brother and sister and mother.”

Matthew 13:3-9 “A farmer went out to

sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the
seed, some fell along the path, and the
birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on
rocky places, where it did not have much
soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil
was shallow. 6 But when the sun came
up, the plants were scorched, and they
withered because they had no root. 7
Other seed fell among thorns, which grew
up and choked the plants. 8 Still other
seed fell on good soil, where it produced
a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times
what was sown. 9 Whoever has ears, let
them hear.”

Matthew 13:11-23 “Because the

knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom
of heaven has been given to you, but not
to them. 12 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. 13 This is
why I speak to them in parables: “Though
seeing, they do not see; though hearing,
they do not hear or understand. 14 In
them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: “
‘You will be ever hearing but never
understanding; you will be ever seeing
but never perceiving. 15 For this people’s
heart has become calloused; they hardly
hear with their ears, and they have closed
their eyes. Otherwise they might see with
their eyes, hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts and turn,
and I would heal them.’ 16 But blessed
are your eyes because they see, and your
ears because they hear. 17 For truly I tell
you, many prophets and righteous people
longed to see what you see but did not
see it, and to hear what you hear but did
not hear it. 18 “Listen then to what the
parable of the sower means: 19 When
anyone hears the message about the
kingdom and does not understand it, the
evil one comes and snatches away what
was sown in their heart. This is the seed
sown along the path. 20 The seed falling
on rocky ground refers to someone who
hears the word and at once receives it
with joy. 21 But since they have no root,
they last only a short time. When trouble
or persecution comes because of the
word, they quickly fall away. 22 The seed
falling among the thorns refers to
someone who hears the word, but the
worries of this life and the deceitfulness
of wealth choke the word, making it
unfruitful. 23 But 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.”

Matthew 13:24-30 “The kingdom of

heaven is like a man who sowed good
seed in his field. 25 But while everyone
was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed
weeds among the wheat, and went away.
26 When the wheat sprouted and formed
heads, then the weeds also appeared. 27
“The owner’s servants came to him and
said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in
your field? Where then did the weeds
come from?’ 28 “ ‘An enemy did this,’ he
replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you
want us to go and pull them up?’ 29 “
‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are
pulling the weeds, you may uproot the
wheat with them. 30 Let both grow
together until the harvest. At that time I
will tell the harvesters: First collect the
weeds and tie them in bundles to be
burned; then gather the wheat and bring
it into my barn.’ ”

Matthew 13:31-32 “The kingdom of

heaven is like a mustard seed, which a
man took and planted in his field. 32
Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet
when it grows, it is the largest of garden
plants and becomes a tree, so that the
birds come and perch in its branches.”

Matthew 13:33 “The kingdom of heaven

is like yeast that a woman took and
mixed into about sixty pounds of flour
until it worked all through the dough.”

Matthew 13:37-50 The one who sowed

the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The
field is the world, and the good seed
stands for the people of the kingdom. The
weeds are the people of the evil one, 39
and the enemy who sows them is the
devil. The harvest is the end of the age,
and the harvesters are angels. 40 “As the
weeds are pulled up and burned in the
fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41
The Son of Man will send out his angels,
and they will weed out of his kingdom
everything that causes sin and all who do
evil. 42 They will throw them into the
blazing furnace, where there will be
weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then
the righteous will shine like the sun in the
kingdom of their Father. Whoever has
ears, let them hear. The Parables of the
Hidden Treasure and the Pearl 44 “The
kingdom of heaven is like 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. 45
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a
merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When
he found one of great value, he went
away and sold everything he had and
bought it. The Parable of the Net 47
“Once again, the kingdom of heaven is
like a net that was let down into the lake
and caught all kinds of fish. 48 When it
was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the
shore. Then they sat down and collected
the good fish in baskets, but threw the
bad away. 49 This is how it will be at the
end of the age. The angels will come and
separate the wicked from the righteous
50 and throw them into the blazing
furnace, where there will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 13:51 Have ye understood all

these things?

Matthew 13:52 “Therefore every

teacher of the law who has become a
disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like
the owner of a house who brings out of
his storeroom new treasures as well as
old.”

Matthew 13:57 “A prophet is not

without honor except in his own town and
in his own home.”

Matthew 14:16 “They do not need to go

away. You give them something to eat.”
Matthew 14:18 “Bring them here to
me,”

Matthew 14:27 “Take courage! It is I.

Don’t be afraid.”

Matthew 14:29 Come.

Matthew 14:31 “You of little faith,”

“why did you doubt?”

Matthew 15:3-9 “And why do you break

the command of God for the sake of your
tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your
father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who
curses their father or mother is to be put
to death.’ 5 But you say that if anyone
declares that what might have been used
to help their father or mother is ‘devoted
to God,’ 6 they are not to ‘honor their
father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify
the word of God for the sake of your
tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was
right when he prophesied about you: 8 “
‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me. 9 They
worship me in vain; their teachings are
merely human rules.’”

Matthew 15:10-11 “Listen and

understand. 11 What goes into someone’s
mouth does not defile them, but what
comes out of their mouth, that is what
defiles them.”

Matthew 15:13-14 “Every plant that my

heavenly Father has not planted will be
pulled up by the roots. 14 Leave them;
they are blind guides. If the blind lead the
blind, both will fall into a pit.”

Matthew 15:16 “Are you still so dull?”

Matthew 15:17-20 17 “Don’t you see

that whatever enters the mouth goes into
the stomach and then out of the body? 18
But the things that come out of a person’s
mouth come from the heart, and these
defile them. 19 For out of the heart come
evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual
immorality, theft, false testimony,
slander.20 These are what defile a
person; but eating with unwashed hands
does not defile them.”

Matthew 15:24 “I was sent only to the

lost sheep of Israel.

Matthew 15:26 “It is not right to take

the children’s bread and toss it to the
dogs.”

Matthew 15:28 “Woman, you have

great faith! Your request is granted.”

Matthew 15:32 “I have compassion for

these people; they have already been
with me three days and have nothing to
eat. I do not want to send them away
hungry, or they may collapse on the
way.”

Matthew 15:34 “How many loaves do

you have?”

Matthew 16:2-4 “When evening comes,

you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the
sky is red,’ 3 and in the morning, ‘Today it
will be stormy, for the sky is red and
overcast.’ You know how to interpret the
appearance of the sky, but you cannot
interpret the signs of the times. 4 A
wicked and adulterous generation looks
for a sign, but none will be given it except
the sign of Jonah.”

Matthew 16:6 “Be careful,” “Be on your

guard against the yeast of the Pharisees
and Sadducees.”

Matthew 16:8-11 “You of little faith,

why are you talking among yourselves
about having no bread? 9 Do you still not
understand? Don’t you remember the five
loaves for the five thousand, and how
many basketfuls you gathered? 10 Or the
seven loaves for the four thousand, and
how many basketfuls you gathered? 11
How is it you don’t understand that I was
not talking to you about bread? But be on
your guard against the yeast of the
Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Matthew 16:13 “Who do people say the

Son of Man is?”

Matthew 16:15 But whom say ye that I

am? “Who do you say I am?”

Matthew 16:17-19 “Blessed are you,

Simon son of Jonah, for this was not
revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by
my Father in heaven. 18 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. 19 I will give you the
keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever
you bind on earth will be bound in
heaven, and whatever you loose on earth
will be loosed in heaven.”

Matthew 16:23 “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.”

Matthew 16:24-28 “Whoever wants to

be my disciple must deny themselves and
take up their cross and follow me. 25 For
whoever wants to save their life will lose
it, but whoever loses their life for me will
find it. 26 What good will it be for
someone to gain the whole world, yet
forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone
give in exchange for their soul? 27 For the
Son of Man is going to come in his
Father’s glory with his angels, and then
he will reward each person according to
what they have done. 28 “Truly I tell you,
some who are standing here will not taste
death before they see the Son of Man
coming in his kingdom.”

Matthew 17:7 “Get up,” “Don’t be

afraid.”

Matthew 17:9 “Don’t tell anyone what

you have seen, until the Son of Man has
been raised from the dead.”

Matthew 17:11-12 “To be sure, Elijah

comes and will restore all things. 12 But I
tell you, Elijah has already come, and
they did not recognize him, but have
done to him everything they wished. In
the same way the Son of Man is going to
suffer at their hands.”

Matthew 17:17 “You unbelieving and

perverse generation,” “how long shall I
stay with you? How long shall I put up
with you? Bring the boy here to me.”

Matthew 17:20 “Because you have so

little faith. 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.”

Matthew 17:22-23 “The Son of Man is

going to be delivered into the hands of
men. 23 They will kill him, and on the
third day he will be raised to life.”

Matthew 17:25 “What do you think,

Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the
kings of the earth collect duty and taxes
—from their own children or from
others?”

Matthew 17:26-27 “Then the children

are exempt,” “But so that we may not
cause offense, go to the lake and throw
out your line. Take the first fish you catch;
open its mouth and you will find a four-
drachma coin. Take it and give it to them
for my tax and yours.”

Matthew 18:3-20 “Truly I tell you,

unless you change and become like little
children, you will never enter the kingdom
of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes
the lowly position of this child is the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And
whoever welcomes one such child in my
name welcomes me. 6 “If anyone causes
one of these little ones—those who
believe in me—to stumble, it would be
better for them to have a large millstone
hung around their neck and to be
drowned in the depths of the sea. 7 Woe
to the world because of the things that
cause people to stumble! Such things
must come, but woe to the person
through whom they come! 8 If your hand
or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it
off and throw it away. It is better for you
to enter life maimed or crippled than to
have two hands or two feet and be
thrown into eternal fire. 9 And if your eye
causes you to stumble, gouge it out and
throw it away. It is better for you to enter
life with one eye than to have two eyes
and be thrown into the fire of hell. 10
“See that you do not despise one of these
little ones. For I tell you that their angels
in heaven always see the face of my
Father in heaven. 11 12 “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?
13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is
happier about that one sheep than about
the ninety-nine that did not wander off.
14 In the same way your Father in heaven
is not willing that any of these little ones
should perish. 15 “If your brother or sister
sins, go and point out their fault, just
between the two of you. If they listen to
you, you have won them over. 16 But if
they will not listen, take one or two others
along, so that ‘every matter may be
established by the testimony of two or
three witnesses.’ 17 If they still refuse to
listen, tell it to the church; and if they
refuse to listen even to the church, treat
them as you would a pagan or a tax
collector. 18 “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. 19“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. 20
For where two or three gather in my
name, there am I with them.”

Matthew 18:22-35 “I tell you, not seven

times, but seventy-seven times. 23
“Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like
a king who wanted to settle accounts with
his servants. 24 As he began the
settlement, a man who owed him ten
thousand bags of gold was brought to
him. 25 Since he was not able to pay, the
master ordered that he and his wife and
his children and all that he had be sold to
repay the debt. 26“At this the servant fell
on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with
me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back
everything.’ 27 The servant’s master took
pity on him, canceled the debt and let
him go. 28 “But when that servant went
out, he found one of his fellow servants
who owed him a hundred silver coins. He
grabbed him and began to choke him.
‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he
demanded. 29 “His fellow servant fell to
his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient
with me, and I will pay it back.’ 30 “But
he refused. Instead, he went off and had
the man thrown into prison until he could
pay the debt. 31 When the other servants
saw what had happened, they were
outraged and went and told their master
everything that had happened. 32 “Then
the master called the servant in. ‘You
wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all
that debt of yours because you begged
me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy
on your fellow servant just as I had on
you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him
over to the jailers to be tortured, until he
should pay back all he owed. 35 “This is
how my heavenly Father will treat each of
you unless you forgive your brother or
sister from your heart.”

Matthew 19:4-6 4 “Haven’t you read,”

“that at the beginning the Creator ‘made
them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For
this reason a man will leave his father
and mother and be united to his wife, and
the two will become one flesh’? 6 So they
are no longer two, but one flesh.
Therefore what God has joined together,
let no one separate.”
Matthew 19:8-9 “Moses permitted you
to divorce your wives because your
hearts were hard. But it was not this way
from the beginning. 9 I tell you that
anyone who divorces his wife, except for
sexual immorality, and marries another
woman commits adultery.”

Matthew 19:11-12 “Not everyone can

accept this word, but only those to whom
it has been given. 12 For there are
eunuchs who were born that way, and
there are eunuchs who have been made
eunuchs by others—and there are those
who choose to live like eunuchs for the
sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one
who can accept this should accept it.”

Matthew 19:14 “Let the little children

come to me, and do not hinder them, for
the kingdom of heaven belongs to such
as these.”
Matthew 19:17 17 “Why do you ask me
about what is good?” “There is only One
who is good. If you want to enter life,
keep the commandments.”

Matthew 19:18-19 “‘You shall not

murder, you shall not commit adultery,
you shall not steal, you shall not give
false testimony, 19 honor your father and
mother,’ ‘love your neighbor as
yourself.’”

Matthew 19:21 “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.”

Matthew 19:23-24 “Truly I tell you, it is

hard for someone who is rich to enter the
kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, 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.”

Matthew 19:26 “With man this is

impossible, but with God all things are
possible.”

Matthew 19:28-30 “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. 29 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. 30 But
many who are first will be last, and many
who are last will be first.

Matthew 20:1-16 1 “For the kingdom of

heaven is like a landowner who went out
early in the morning to hire workers for
his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay them a
denarius for the day and sent them into
his vineyard. 3 “About nine in the
morning he went out and saw others
standing in the marketplace doing
nothing. 4 He told them, ‘You also go and
work in my vineyard, and I will pay you
whatever is right.’ 5 So they went. “He
went out again about noon and about
three in the afternoon and did the same
thing. 6 About five in the afternoon he
went out and found still others standing
around. He asked them, ‘Why have you
been standing here all day long doing
nothing?’ 7 “ ‘Because no one has hired
us,’ they answered. “He said to them,
‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’ 8
“When evening came, the owner of the
vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the
workers and pay them their wages,
beginning with the last ones hired and
going on to the first.’ 9 “The workers who
were hired about five in the afternoon
came and each received a denarius. 10
So when those came who were hired first,
they expected to receive more. But each
one of them also received a denarius. 11
When they received it, they began to
grumble against the landowner. 12 ‘These
who were hired last worked only one
hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made
them equal to us who have borne the
burden of the work and the heat of the
day.’ 13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I
am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t
you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take
your pay and go. I want to give the one
who was hired last the same as I gave
you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I
want with my own money? Or are you
envious because I am generous?’ 16 “So
the last will be first, and the first will be
last.”

Matthew 20:18-19 18 “We are going up

to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be
delivered over to the chief priests and the
teachers of the law. They will condemn
him to death 19 and will hand him over to
the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged
and crucified. On the third day he will be
raised to life!”

Matthew 20:21 21 “What is it you

want?”

Matthew 20:22 22 “You don’t know

what you are asking,” “Can you drink the
cup I am going to drink?”

Matthew 20:23 “You will indeed drink

from my cup, but to sit at my right or left
is not for me to grant. These places
belong to those for whom they have been
prepared by my Father.”

Matthew 20:25-28 “You know that the

rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them,
and their high officials exercise authority
over them. 26 Not so with you. Instead,
whoever wants to become great among
you must be your servant, 27 and
whoever wants to be first must be your
slave— 28 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.”

Matthew 20:32 “What do you want me

to do for you?”

Matthew 21:2-3 “Go to the village

ahead of you, and at once you will find a
donkey tied there, with her colt by her.
Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If
anyone says anything to you, say that the
Lord needs them, and he will send them
right away.”

Matthew 21:13 “It is written,” “‘My

house will be called a house of prayer,’
but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”
Matthew 21:16 “Yes,” “have you never
read, “ ‘From the lips of children and
infants you, Lord, have called forth your
praise’?”

Matthew 21:19 “May you never bear

fruit again!”

Matthew 21:21-22 “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. 22 If you believe, you will
receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

Matthew 21:24-25 “I will also ask you

one question. If you answer me, I will tell
you by what authority I am doing these
things. 25 John’s baptism—where did it
come from? Was it from heaven, or of
human origin?”
Matthew 21:27-31 “Neither will I tell
you by what authority I am doing these
things. 28 “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.’ 29 “ ‘I will not,’ he
answered, but later he changed his mind
and went. 30 “Then the father went to the
other son and said the same thing. He
answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go.
31 “Which of the two did what his father
wanted?”

Matthew 21:31-40 “Truly I tell you, the

tax collectors and the prostitutes are
entering the kingdom of God ahead of
you. 32 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. And even after you
saw this, you did not repent and believe
him. 33 “Listen to another parable: There
was a landowner who planted a vineyard.
He put a wall around it, dug a winepress
in it and built a watchtower. Then he
rented the vineyard to some farmers and
moved to another place. 34 When the
harvest time approached, he sent his
servants to the tenants to collect his fruit.
35 “The tenants seized his servants; they
beat one, killed another, and stoned a
third. 36 Then he sent other servants to
them, more than the first time, and the
tenants treated them the same way. 37
Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They
will respect my son,’ he said. 38 “But
when the tenants saw the son, they said
to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come,
let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’ 39
So they took him and threw him out of
the vineyard and killed him. 40
“Therefore, when the owner of the
vineyard comes, what will he do to those
tenants?”

Matthew 21:42-44 “Have you never

read in the Scriptures: “‘The stone the
builders rejected has become the
cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and
it is marvelous in our eyes’? 43
“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. 44 Anyone who falls on this stone
will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom
it falls will be crushed.”

Matthew 22:2-14 2 “The kingdom of

heaven is like a king who prepared a
wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent
his servants to those who had been
invited to the banquet to tell them to
come, but they refused to come. 4 “Then
he sent some more servants and said,
‘Tell those who have been invited that I
have prepared my dinner: My oxen and
fattened cattle have been butchered, and
everything is ready. Come to the wedding
banquet.’ 5 “But they paid no attention
and went off—one to his field, another to
his business. 6 The rest seized his
servants, mistreated them and killed
them. 7 The king was enraged. He sent
his army and destroyed those murderers
and burned their city. 8 “Then he said to
his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is
ready, but those I invited did not deserve
to come. 9 So go to the street corners
and invite to the banquet anyone you
find.’ 10 So the servants went out into the
streets and gathered all the people they
could find, the bad as well as the good,
and the wedding hall was filled with
guests. 11 “But when the king came in to
see the guests, he noticed a man there
who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12
He asked, ‘How did you get in here
without wedding clothes, friend?’ The
man was speechless. 13 “Then the king
told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and
foot, and throw him outside, into the
darkness, where there will be weeping
and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 “For many are
invited, but few are chosen.”

Matthew 22:18 “You hypocrites, why

are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me
the coin used for paying the tax.”

Matthew 22:20 “Whose image is this?

And whose inscription?”

Matthew 22:21 “So give back to Caesar

what is Caesar’s, and to God what is
God’s.”

Matthew 22:29-32 “You are in error

because you do not know the Scriptures
or the power of God. 30 At the
resurrection people will neither marry nor
be given in marriage; they will be like the
angels in heaven. 31 But about the
resurrection of the dead—have you not
read what God said to you, 32 ‘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.”

Matthew 22:37-40 ‘Love the Lord your

God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the
first and greatest commandment. 39 And
the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor
as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the
Prophets hang on these two
commandments

Matthew 22:42 What do you think about

the Messiah? Whose son is he?

Matthew 22:43-45 How is it then that

David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him
‘Lord’? For he says, 44 ‘The Lord said to
my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put
your enemies under your feet. ’ 45 If then
David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his
son?
Matthew 23:2-39 The teachers of the
law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3
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.
4 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. 5
“Everything they do is done for people to
see: They make their phylacteries wide
and the tassels on their garments long; 6
they love the place of honor at banquets
and the most important seats in the
synagogues; 7 they love to be greeted
with respect in the marketplaces and to
be called ‘Rabbi’ by others. 8 “But you
are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have
one Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9
And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’
for you have one Father, and he is in
heaven. 10 Nor are you to be called
instructors, for you have one Instructor,
the Messiah. 11 The greatest among you
will be your servant. 12 For those who
exalt themselves will be humbled, and
those who humble themselves will be
exalted. 13 “Woe to you, teachers of the
law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You
shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in
people’s faces. You yourselves do not
enter, nor will you let those enter who are
trying to. 14 15 “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. 16 “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.’ 17 You
blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or
the temple that makes the gold sacred?
18 You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the
altar, it means nothing; but anyone who
swears by the gift on the altar is bound by
that oath.’ 19 You blind men! Which is
greater: the gift, or the altar that makes
the gift sacred? 20 Therefore, anyone
who swears by the altar swears by it and
by everything on it. 21 And anyone who
swears by the temple swears by it and by
the one who dwells in it. 22 And anyone
who swears by heaven swears by God’s
throne and by the one who sits on it. 23
“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 should have
practiced the latter, without neglecting
the former. 24 You blind guides! You
strain out a gnat but swallow a camel. 25
“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.
26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of
the cup and dish, and then the outside
also will be clean. 27 “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. 28 In the same way, on the
outside you appear to people as righteous
but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy
and wickedness. 29 “Woe to you,
teachers of the law and Pharisees, you
hypocrites! You build tombs for the
prophets and decorate the graves of the
righteous. 30 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.’ 31
So you testify against yourselves that you
are the descendants of those who
murdered the prophets. 32 Go ahead,
then, and complete what your ancestors
started! 33 “You snakes! You brood of
vipers! How will you escape being
condemned to hell? 34 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. 35 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. 36 Truly I tell you, all this
will come on this generation. 37
“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. 38 Look, your house is left to you
desolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not see
me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he
who comes in the name of the Lord.’
Matthew 24:2 2 “Do you see all these
things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not
one stone here will be left on another;
every one will be thrown down.”

Matthew 24:4-51 Watch out that no one

deceives you. 5 For many will come in my
name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and
will deceive many. 6 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. 7
Nation will rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom. There will be
famines and earthquakes in various
places. 8 All these are the beginning of
birth pains. 9 “Then you will be handed
over to be persecuted and put to death,
and you will be hated by all nations
because of me. 10 At that time many will
turn away from the faith and will betray
and hate each other, 11 and many false
prophets will appear and deceive many
people. 12 Because of the increase of
wickedness, the love of most will grow
cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to
the end will be saved. 14 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. 15 “So when
you see standing in the holy place ‘the
abomination that causes desolation,
spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let
the reader understand— 16 then let those
who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17 Let no one on the housetop go down
to take anything out of the house. 18 Let
no one in the field go back to get their
cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those
days for pregnant women and nursing
mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not
take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21
For then there will be great distress,
unequaled from the beginning of the
world until now—and never to be equaled
again. 22 “If those days had not been cut
short, no one would survive, but for the
sake of the elect those days will be
shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says
to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or,
‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For
false messiahs and false prophets will
appear and perform great signs and
wonders to deceive, if possible, even the
elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of
time. 26 “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. 27 For as lightning that comes
from the east is visible even in the west,
so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the
vultures will gather. 29 “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.’ 30 “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. 31 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. 32 “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.
33 Even so, when you see all these
things, you know that it is near, right at
the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this
generation will certainly not pass away
until all these things have happened. 35
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my
words will never pass away. 36 “But
about that day or hour no one knows, not
even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,
but only the Father. 37 As it was in the
days of Noah, so it will be at the coming
of the Son of Man. 38 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; 39
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. 40 Two men
will be in the field; one will be taken and
the other left. 41 Two women will be
grinding with a hand mill; one will be
taken and the other left. 42 “Therefore
keep watch, because you do not know on
what day your Lord will come. 43 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. 44 So you also must be
ready, because the Son of Man will come
at an hour when you do not expect him.
45 “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?
46 It will be good for that servant whose
master finds him doing so when he
returns. 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him
in charge of all his possessions. 48 But
suppose that servant is wicked and says
to himself, ‘My master is staying away a
long time,’ 49 and he then begins to beat
his fellow servants and to eat and drink
with drunkards. 50 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. 51 He will cut him to pieces and
assign him a place with the hypocrites,
where there will be weeping and gnashing
of teeth.

Matthew 25:1-46 1 “At that time the

kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins
who took their lamps and went out to
meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them
were foolish and five were wise. 3 The
foolish ones took their lamps but did not
take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones,
however, took oil in jars along with their
lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time
in coming, and they all became drowsy
and fell asleep. 6 “At midnight the cry
rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come
out to meet him!’ 7 “Then all the virgins
woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The
foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us
some of your oil; our lamps are going
out.’ 9 “‘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.’ 10 “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. 11 “Later the others
also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open
the door for us!’ 12 “But he replied, ‘Truly
I tell you, I don’t know you.’ 13 “Therefore
keep watch, because you do not know the
day or the hour. 14 “Again, it will be like a
man going on a journey, who called his
servants and entrusted his wealth to
them. 15 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. 16 The man
who had received five bags of gold went
at once and put his money to work and
gained five bags more. 17 So also, the
one with two bags of gold gained two
more. 18 But the man who had received
one bag went off, dug a hole in the
ground and hid his master’s money. 19
“After a long time the master of those
servants returned and settled accounts
with them. 20 The man who had received
five bags of gold brought the other five.
‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with
five bags of gold. See, I have gained five
more.’ 21 “His master replied, ‘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!’ 22 “The man
with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’
he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags
of gold; see, I have gained two more.’ 23
“His master replied, ‘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!’ 24 “Then the man
who had received one bag of gold came.
‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a
hard man, harvesting where you have not
sown and gathering where you have not
scattered seed. 25 So I was afraid and
went out and hid your gold in the ground.
See, here is what belongs to you.’ 26 “His
master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant!
So you knew that I harvest where I have
not sown and gather where I have not
scattered seed? 27 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. 28
“‘So take the bag of gold from him and
give it to the one who has ten bags. 29
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. 30 And throw that
worthless servant outside, into the
darkness, where there will be weeping
and gnashing of teeth.’ 31 “When the Son
of Man comes in his glory, and all the
angels with him, he will sit on his glorious
throne. 32 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. 33
He will put the sheep on his right and the
goats on his left. 34 “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. 35 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, 36 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.’ 37 “Then the righteous
will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see
you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and
give you something to drink? 38 When did
we see you a stranger and invite you in,
or needing clothes and clothe you? 39
When did we see you sick or in prison and
go to visit you?’ 40 “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.’ 41 “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. 42
For I was hungry and you gave me
nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave
me nothing to drink, 43 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.’ 44 “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?’
45 “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.’ 46
“Then they will go away to eternal
punishment, but the righteous to eternal
life.”

Matthew 26:2 2 “As you know, the

Passover is two days away—and the Son
of Man will be handed over to be
crucified.”

Matthew 26:10-13 Why are you

bothering this woman? She has done a
beautiful thing to me. 11 The poor you
will always have with you, but you will not
always have me. 12 When she poured
this perfume on my body, she did it to
prepare me for burial. 13 Truly I tell you,
wherever this gospel is preached
throughout the world, what she has done
will also be told, in memory of her.

Matthew 26:18 “Go into the city to a

certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher
says: My appointed time is near. I am
going to celebrate the Passover with my
disciples at your house.’”

Matthew 26:21 “Truly I tell you, one of

you will betray me.”

Matthew 26:23-24 “The one who has

dipped his hand into the bowl with me will
betray me. 24 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.”
Matthew 26:25 “You have said so.”

Matthew 26:26 “Take and eat; this is

my body.”

Matthew 26:27-29 “Drink from it, all of

you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant,
which is poured out for many for the
forgiveness of sins. 29 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.”

Matthew 26:31-32 “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.’
32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead
of you into Galilee.”

Matthew 26:34 34 “Truly I tell you,”

“this very night, before the rooster crows,
you will disown me three times.”
Matthew 26:36 “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.”

Matthew 26:38 “My soul is

overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of
death. Stay here and keep watch with
me.”

Matthew 26:39 “My Father, if it is

possible, may this cup be taken from me.
Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

Matthew 26:40-41 “Couldn’t you men

keep watch with me for one hour?” 41
“Watch and pray so that you will not fall
into temptation. The spirit is willing, but
the flesh is weak.”

Matthew 26:42 “My Father, if it is not

possible for this cup to be taken away
unless I drink it, may your will be done.”

Matthew 26:45-46 “Are you still

sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has
come, and the Son of Man is delivered
into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise! Let us
go! Here comes my betrayer!”

Matthew 26:50 “Do what you came for,

friend.”

Matthew 26:52-54 52 “Put your sword

back in its place,” “for all who draw the
sword will die by the sword. 53 Do you
think I cannot call on my Father, and he
will at once put at my disposal more than
twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then
would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say
it must happen in this way?”

Matthew 26:55-56 “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. 56 But this has
all taken place that the writings of the
prophets might be fulfilled.”

Matthew 26:64 64 “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.”

Matthew 26:75 “Before the rooster

crows, you will disown me three times.”

Matthew 27:11 “You have said so,”

Matthew 27:46 “Eli, Eli, lema

sabachthani?” “My God, my God, why
have you forsaken me?”

Matthew 27:63 ‘After three days I will

rise again.’
Matthew 28:9 “Greetings,”

Matthew 28:10 “Do not be afraid. Go

and tell my brothers to go to Galilee;
there they will see me.”

Matthew 28:18-20 “All authority in

heaven and on earth has been given to
me. 19 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, 20 and teaching them to obey
everything I have commanded you. And
surely I am with you always, to the very
end of the age.”
Mark 1:15 15 “The time has come,” “The
kingdom of God has come near. Repent
and believe the good news!”

Mark 1:17 17 “Come, follow me,” “and I

will send you out to fish for people.”

Mark 1:25 25 “Be quiet!” “Come out of

him!”

Mark 1:38 “Let us go somewhere else—

to the nearby villages—so I can preach
there also. That is why I have come.”

Mark 1:41 “I am willing, Be clean!”

Mark 1:44 44 “See that you don’t tell

this to anyone. But go, show yourself to
the priest and offer the sacrifices that
Moses commanded for your cleansing, as
a testimony to them.”

Mark 2:5 “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

Mark 2:8-11 “Why are you thinking
these things? 9 Which is easier: to say to
this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are
forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your
mat and walk’? 10 But I want you to know
that the Son of Man has authority on
earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the
man, 11 “I tell you, get up, take your mat
and go home.

Mark 2:14 Follow me.

Mark 2:17 “It is not the healthy who

need a doctor, but the sick. I have not
come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Mark 2:19-22 “How can the guests of

the bridegroom fast while he is with
them? They cannot, so long as they have
him with them. 20 But the time will come
when the bridegroom will be taken from
them, and on that day they will fast. 21
“No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth
on an old garment. Otherwise, the new
piece will pull away from the old, making
the tear worse. 22 And no one pours new
wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the
wine will burst the skins, and both the
wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No,
they pour new wine into new wineskins.”

Mark 2:25-26 “Have you never read

what David did when he and his
companions were hungry and in need? 26
In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he
entered the house of God and ate the
consecrated bread, which is lawful only
for priests to eat. And he also gave some
to his companions.”

Mark 2:27-28 “The Sabbath was made

for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So
the Son of Man is Lord even of the
Sabbath.”
Mark 3:3 “Stand up in front of
everyone.”

Mark 3:4 “Which is lawful on the

Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save
life or to kill?”

Mark 3:5 “Stretch out your hand.”

Mark 3:23-29 “How can Satan drive out

Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against
itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 If a
house is divided against itself, that house
cannot stand. 26 And if Satan opposes
himself and is divided, he cannot stand;
his end has come. 27 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. 28 Truly I tell you,
people can be forgiven all their sins and
every slander they utter, 29 but whoever
blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will
never be forgiven; they are guilty of an
eternal sin.”

Mark 3:33 33 “Who are my mother and

my brothers?”

Mark 3:34-35 “Here are my mother and

my brothers! 35 Whoever does God’s will
is my brother and sister and mother.”

Mark 4:3-9 3 “Listen! A farmer went out

to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering
the seed, some fell along the path, and
the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell
on rocky places, where it did not have
much soil. It sprang up quickly, because
the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun
came up, the plants were scorched, and
they withered because they had no root.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which
grew up and choked the plants, so that
they did not bear grain. 8 Still other seed
fell on good soil. It came up, grew and
produced a crop, some multiplying thirty,
some sixty, some a hundred times.” 9
“Whoever has ears to hear, let them
hear.”

Mark 4:11-32 “The secret of the

kingdom of God has been given to you.
But to those on the outside everything is
said in parables 12 so that, “‘they may be
ever seeing but never perceiving, and
ever hearing but never understanding;
otherwise they might turn and be
forgiven!’” 13 “Don’t you understand this
parable? How then will you understand
any parable? 14 The farmer sows the
word. 15 Some people are like seed along
the path, where the word is sown. As soon
as they hear it, Satan comes and takes
away the word that was sown in them. 16
Others, like seed sown on rocky places,
hear the word and at once receive it with
joy. 17 But since they have no root, they
last only a short time. When trouble or
persecution comes because of the word,
they quickly fall away. 18 Still others, like
seed sown among thorns, hear the word;
19 but the worries of this life, the
deceitfulness of wealth and the desires
for other things come in and choke the
word, making it unfruitful. 20 Others, like
seed sown on good soil, hear the word,
accept it, and produce a crop—some
thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times
what was sown.” 21 “Do you bring in a
lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed?
Instead, don’t you put it on its stand? 22
For whatever is hidden is meant to be
disclosed, and whatever is concealed is
meant to be brought out into the open. 23
If anyone has ears to hear, let them
hear.” 24 “Consider carefully what you
hear,” he continued. “With the measure
you use, it will be measured to you—and
even more. 25 Whoever has will be given
more; whoever does not have, even what
they have will be taken from them.” 26
“This is what the kingdom of God is like. A
man scatters seed on the ground. 27
Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets
up, the seed sprouts and grows, though
he does not know how. 28 All by itself the
soil produces grain—first the stalk, then
the head, then the full kernel in the head.
29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts
the sickle to it, because the harvest has
come.” 30 “What shall we say the
kingdom of God is like, or what parable
shall we use to describe it? 31 It is like a
mustard seed, which is the smallest of all
seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it
grows and becomes the largest of all
garden plants, with such big branches
that the birds can perch in its shade.”

but not an extra shirt. 10 Whenever you
enter a house, stay there until you leave
that town. 11 And if any place will not
welcome you or listen to you, leave that
place and shake the dust off your feet as
a testimony against them.”

Mark 6:31 “Come with me by yourselves

to a quiet place and get some rest.”

Mark 6:37 “You give them something to

eat.”

Mark 6:38 38 “How many loaves do you

have?” “Go and see.”

Mark 6:50 “Take courage! It is I. Don’t

be afraid.”

Mark 7:6-13 “Isaiah was right when he

prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is
written: “‘These people honor me with
their lips, but their hearts are far from
me. 7 They worship me in vain; their
teachings are merely human rules.’ 8 You
have let go of the commands of God and
are holding on to human traditions.” 9
“You have a fine way of setting aside the
commands of God in order to observe
your own traditions! 10 For Moses said,
‘Honor your father and mother,’and,
‘Anyone who curses their father or
mother is to be put to death.’ 11 But you
say that if anyone declares that what
might have been used to help their father
or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to
God)— 12 then you no longer let them do
anything for their father or mother. 13
Thus you nullify the word of God by your
tradition that you have handed down. And
you do many things like that.”

Mark 7:14-16 “Listen to me, everyone,

and understand this. 15 Nothing outside a
person can defile them by going into
them. Rather, it is what comes out of a
person that defiles them.”

Mark 7:18-23 18 “Are you so dull?” he

asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that
enters a person from the outside can
defile them? 19 For it doesn’t go into their
heart but into their stomach, and then out
of the body.” 20 He went on: “What
comes out of a person is what defiles
them. 21 For it is from within, out of a
person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—
sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22
adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness,
envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All
these evils come from inside and defile a
person.”

Mark 7:27 27 “First let the children eat

all they want,” “for it is not right to take
the children’s bread and toss it to the
dogs.”

Mark 7:29 “For such a reply, you may

go; the demon has left your daughter.”

Mark 7:34 “Ephphatha!”

Mark 8:2-3 2 “I have compassion for

these people; they have already been
with me three days and have nothing to
eat. 3 If I send them home hungry, they
will collapse on the way, because some of
them have come a long distance.”
Mark 8:5 5 “How many loaves do you
have?”

Mark 8:12 “Why does this generation

ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will
be given to it.”

Mark 8:15 15 “Be careful,” “Watch out

for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of
Herod.”

Mark 8:17-19 “Why are you talking

about having no bread? Do you still not
see or understand? Are your hearts
hardened? 18 Do you have eyes but fail
to see, and ears but fail to hear? And
don’t you remember? 19 When I broke
the five loaves for the five thousand, how
many basketfuls of pieces did you pick
up?”

Mark 8:20 20 “And when I broke the

seven loaves for the four thousand, how
many basketfuls of pieces did you pick
up?”

Mark 8:21 “Do you still not understand?”

Mark 8:23 “Do you see anything?”

Mark 8:26 “Don’t even go into the

village.”

Mark 8:27 “Who do people say I am?”

Mark 8:29 29 “But what about you?”

“Who do you say I am?”

Mark 8:33 “Get behind me, Satan!” he

said. “You do not have in mind the
concerns of God, but merely human
concerns.”

Mark 8:34-38 “Whoever wants to be my

disciple must deny themselves and take
up their cross and follow me. 35 For
whoever wants to save their life will lose
it, but whoever loses their life for me and
for the gospel will save it. 36 What good
is it for someone to gain the whole world,
yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can
anyone give in exchange for their soul?
38 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.”

Mark 9:1 “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.”

Mark 9:12-13 “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? 13 But
I tell you, Elijah has come, and they have
done to him everything they wished, just
as it is written about him.”

Mark 9:16 16 “What are you arguing

with them about?”

Mark 9:19 19 “You unbelieving

generation,” “how long shall I stay with
you? How long shall I put up with you?
Bring the boy to me.”

Mark 9:21 “How long has he been like

this?”

Mark 9:23 23 “‘If you can’?” “Everything

is possible for one who believes.”

Mark 9:25 “You deaf and mute spirit,” “I

command you, come out of him and
never enter him again.”

Mark 9:29 “This kind can come out only

by prayer.”
Mark 9:31 “The Son of Man is going to
be delivered into the hands of men. They
will kill him, and after three days he will
rise.”

Mark 9:33 “What were you arguing

about on the road?”

Mark 9:35 “Anyone who wants to be first

must be the very last, and the servant of
all.”

Mark 9:37 37 “Whoever welcomes one

of these little children in my name
welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me
does not welcome me but the one who
sent me.”

Mark 9:39-50 39 “Do not stop him,” “For

no one who does a miracle in my name
can in the next moment say anything bad
about me, 40 for whoever is not against
us is for us. 41 Truly I tell you, anyone
who gives you a cup of water in my name
because you belong to the Messiah will
certainly not lose their reward. 42 “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. 43 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. [44]
45 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. [46] 47 And if
your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it
out. It is better for you to enter the
kingdom of God with one eye than to
have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48
where “‘the worms that eat them do not
die, and the fire is not quenched.’ 49
Everyone will be salted with fire. 50 “Salt
is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how
can you make it salty again? Have salt
among yourselves, and be at peace with
each other.”

Mark 10:3 3 “What did Moses command

you?”

Mark 10:5-9 5 “It was because your

hearts were hard that Moses wrote you
this law,” 6 “But at the beginning of
creation God ‘made them male and
female.’ 7 ‘For this reason a man will
leave his father and mother and be united
to his wife, 8 and the two will become one
flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one
flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined
together, let no one separate.”

Mark 10:11-12 “Anyone who divorces

his wife and marries another woman
commits adultery against her. 12 And if
she divorces her husband and marries
another man, she commits adultery.”

Mark 10:14-15 “Let the little children

come to me, and do not hinder them, for
the kingdom of God belongs to such as
these. 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will
not receive the kingdom of God like a
little child will never enter it.”

Mark 10:18-19 18 “Why do you call me

good?” “No one is good—except God
alone. 19 You know the commandments:
‘You shall not murder, you shall not
commit adultery, you shall not steal, you
shall not give false testimony, you shall
not defraud, honor your father and
mother.’”

Mark 10:21 “One thing you lack,” “Go,

sell everything you have and give to the
poor, and you will have treasure in
heaven. Then come, follow me.”
Mark 10:23 How hard it is for the rich to
enter the kingdom of God!”

Mark 10:24-25 “Children, how hard it is

to enter the kingdom of God! 25 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.”

Mark 10:27 “With man this is impossible,

but not with God; all things are possible
with God.”

Mark 10:29-31 29 “Truly I tell you,” “no

one who has left home or brothers or
sisters or mother or father or children or
fields for me and the gospel 30 will fail to
receive a hundred times as much in this
present age: homes, brothers, sisters,
mothers, children and fields—along with
persecutions—and in the age to come
eternal life. 31 But many who are first will
be last, and the last first.”
Mark 10:33-34 33 “We are going up to
Jerusalem,” “and the Son of Man will be
delivered over to the chief priests and the
teachers of the law. They will condemn
him to death and will hand him over to
the Gentiles, 34 who will mock him and
spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three
days later he will rise.”

Mark 10:36 36 “What do you want me to

do for you?”

Mark 10:38 38 “You don’t know what

you are asking,” “Can you drink the cup I
drink or be baptized with the baptism I
am baptized with?”

Mark 10:39-40 “You will drink the cup I

drink and be baptized with the baptism I
am baptized with, 40 but to sit at my right
or left is not for me to grant. These places
belong to those for whom they have been
prepared.”

Mark 10:42-45 “You know that those

who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles
lord it over them, and their high officials
exercise authority over them. 43 Not so
with you. Instead, whoever wants to
become great among you must be your
servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first
must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son
of Man did not come to be served, but to
serve, and to give his life as a ransom for
many.”

Mark 10:49 “Call him.”

Mark 10:51 51 “What do you want me to

do for you?”

Mark 10:52 52 “Go,” “your faith has

healed you.”

Mark 11:2-3 “Go to the village ahead of

you, and just as you enter it, you will find
a colt tied there, which no one has ever
ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 3 If
anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing
this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will
send it back here shortly.’”

Mark 11:14 “May no one ever eat fruit

from you again.”

Mark 11:17 “Is it not written: ‘My house

will be called a house of prayer for all
nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of
robbers.’”

Mark 11:22-26 22 “Have faith in God,”

23 “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this
mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the
sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart
but believes that what they say will
happen, it will be done for them. 24
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for
in prayer, believe that you have received
it, and it will be yours. 25 And when you
stand praying, if you hold anything
against anyone, forgive them, so that
your Father in heaven may forgive you
your sins.”

Mark 11:29-30 “I will ask you one

question. Answer me, and I will tell you by
what authority I am doing these things.
30 John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or
of human origin? Tell me!”

Mark 11:33 “Neither will I tell you by

what authority I am doing these things.”

Mark 12:1-11 “A man planted a

vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a
pit for the winepress and built a
watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard
to some farmers and moved to another
place. 2 At harvest time he sent a servant
to the tenants to collect from them some
of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 But they
seized him, beat him and sent him away
empty-handed. 4 Then he sent another
servant to them; they struck this man on
the head and treated him shamefully. 5
He sent still another, and that one they
killed. He sent many others; some of
them they beat, others they killed. 6 “He
had one left to send, a son, whom he
loved. He sent him last of all, saying,
‘They will respect my son.’ 7 “But the
tenants said to one another, ‘This is the
heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the
inheritance will be ours.’ 8 So they took
him and killed him, and threw him out of
the vineyard. 9 “What then will the owner
of the vineyard do? He will come and kill
those tenants and give the vineyard to
others. 10 Haven’t you read this passage
of Scripture: “‘The stone the builders
rejected has become the cornerstone; 11
the Lord has done this, and it is
marvelous in our eyes’?”
Mark 12:15 “Why are you trying to trap
me?” “Bring me a denarius and let me
look at it.” that are God's.

Mark 12:17 “Give back to Caesar what is

Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.”

Mark 12:24-27 “Are you not in error

because you do not know the Scriptures
or the power of God? 25 When the dead
rise, they will neither marry nor be given
in marriage; they will be like the angels in
heaven. 26 Now about the dead rising—
have you not read in the Book of Moses,
in the account of the burning bush, how
God said to him, ‘I am the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God
of Jacob’? 27 He is not the God of the
dead, but of the living. You are badly
mistaken!”

Mark 12:29-31 29 “The most important

one,” “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord
our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord
your God with all your heart and with all
your soul and with all your mind and with
all your strength.’ 31 The second is this:
‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is
no commandment greater than these.”

Mark 12:34 “You are not far from the

kingdom of God.”

Mark 12:35-37 “Why do the teachers of

the law say that the Messiah is the son of
David? 36 David himself, speaking by the
Holy Spirit, declared: “‘The Lord said to
my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put
your enemies under your feet.”’ 37 David
himself calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he
be his son?”

Mark 12:38-40 “Watch out for the

teachers of the law. They like to walk
around in flowing robes and be greeted
with respect in the marketplaces, 39 and
have the most important seats in the
synagogues and the places of honor at
banquets. 40 They devour widows’
houses and for a show make lengthy
prayers. These men will be punished most
severely.”

Mark 12:43-44 “Truly I tell you, this poor

widow has put more into the treasury
than all the others. 44 They all gave out
of their wealth; but she, out of her
poverty, put in everything—all she had to
live on.”

Mark 13:2 2 “Do you see all these great

buildings?” “Not one stone here will be
left on another; every one will be thrown
down.”

Mark 13:5-37 “Watch out that no one

deceives you. 6 Many will come in my
name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and will
deceive many. 7 When you hear of wars
and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed.
Such things must happen, but the end is
still to come. 8 Nation will rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
There will be earthquakes in various
places, and famines. These are the
beginning of birth pains. 9 “You must be
on your guard. You will be handed over to
the local councils and flogged in the
synagogues. On account of me you will
stand before governors and kings as
witnesses to them. 10 And the gospel
must first be preached to all nations. 11
Whenever you are arrested and brought
to trial, do not worry beforehand about
what to say. Just say whatever is given
you at the time, for it is not you speaking,
but the Holy Spirit. 12 “Brother will betray
brother to death, and a father his child.
Children will rebel against their parents
and have them put to death. 13 Everyone
will hate you because of me, but the one
who stands firm to the end will be saved.
14 “When you see ‘the abomination that
causes desolation’ standing where it does
not belong—let the reader understand—
then let those who are in Judea flee to the
mountains. 15 Let no one on the
housetop go down or enter the house to
take anything out. 16 Let no one in the
field go back to get their cloak. 17 How
dreadful it will be in those days for
pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18
Pray that this will not take place in winter,
19 because those will be days of distress
unequaled from the beginning, when God
created the world, until now—and never
to be equaled again. 20 “If the Lord had
not cut short those days, no one would
survive. But for the sake of the elect,
whom he has chosen, he has shortened
them. 21 At that time if anyone says to
you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look,
there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false
messiahs and false prophets will appear
and perform signs and wonders to
deceive, if possible, even the elect. 23 So
be on your guard; I have told you
everything ahead of time. 24 “But in
those days, following that distress, “‘the
sun will be darkened, and the moon will
not give its light; 25 the stars will fall from
the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be
shaken.’ 26 “At that time people will see
the Son of Man coming in clouds with
great power and glory. 27 And he will
send his angels and gather his elect from
the four winds, from the ends of the earth
to the ends of the heavens. 28 “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. 29
Even so, when you see these things
happening, you know that it is near, right
at the door. 30 Truly I tell you, this
generation will certainly not pass away
until all these things have happened. 31
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my
words will never pass away. 32 “But
about that day or hour no one knows, not
even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,
but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be
alert! You do not know when that time
will come. 34 It’s like a man going away:
He leaves his house and puts his servants
in charge, each with their assigned task,
and tells the one at the door to keep
watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because
you do not know when the owner of the
house will come back—whether in the
evening, or at midnight, or when the
rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes
suddenly, do not let him find you
sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to
everyone: ‘Watch!’”

Mark 14:6-9 6 “Leave her alone,” said

Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She
has done a beautiful thing to me. 7 The
poor you will always have with you, and
you can help them any time you want.
But you will not always have me. 8 She
did what she could. She poured perfume
on my body beforehand to prepare for my
burial. 9 Truly I tell you, wherever the
gospel is preached throughout the world,
what she has done will also be told, in
memory of her.”

Mark 14:13-15 “Go into the city, and a

man carrying a jar of water will meet you.
Follow him. 14 Say to the owner of the
house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks:
Where is my guest room, where I may eat
the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 He
will show you a large room upstairs,
furnished and ready. Make preparations
for us there.”

Mark 14:18 “Truly I tell you, one of you

will betray me—one who is eating with
me.”

Mark 14:20-21 20 “It is one of the

Twelve,” “one who dips bread into the
bowl with me. 21 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.”

Mark 14:22 “Take it; this is my body.”

Mark 14:24-25 24 “This is my blood of

the covenant, which is poured out for
many,” 25 “Truly I tell you, I will not drink
again from the fruit of the vine until that
day when I drink it new in the kingdom of
God.”

Mark 14:27-28 27 “You will all fall

away,” “for it is written: “‘I will strike the
shepherd, and the sheep will be
scattered.’ 28 But after I have risen, I will
go ahead of you into Galilee.”

Mark 14:30 30 “Truly I tell you,” “today

—yes, tonight—before the rooster crows
twice you yourself will disown me three
times.”

Mark 14:32 “Sit here while I pray.”

Mark 14:34 34 “My soul is overwhelmed

with sorrow to the point of death,” “Stay
here and keep watch.”

Mark 14:36 36 “Abba, Father,”

“everything is possible for you. Take this
cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what
you will.”

Mark 14:37-38 “Simon,” “are you

asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one
hour? 38 Watch and pray so that you will
not fall into temptation. The spirit is
willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Mark 14:41-42 “Are you still sleeping

and resting? Enough! The hour has come.
Look, the Son of Man is delivered into the
hands of sinners. 42 Rise! Let us go! Here
comes my betrayer!”

Mark 14:48-49 48 “Am I leading a

rebellion,” “that you have come out with
swords and clubs to capture me? 49
Every day I was with you, teaching in the
temple courts, and you did not arrest me.
But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”

Mark 14:62 62 “I am,” “And you will see

the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of
the Mighty One and coming on the clouds
of heaven.”

Mark 14:72 “Before the rooster crows

twice you will disown me three times.”

Mark 15:2 “You have said so,”

Mark 15:34 “Eloi, Eloi, lema

sabachthani?”
Mark 16:15-16:18 “Go into all the world
and preach the gospel to all creation. 16
Whoever believes and is baptized will be
saved, but whoever does not believe will
be condemned. 17 And these signs will
accompany those who believe: In my
name they will drive out demons; they
will speak in new tongues; 18 they will
pick up snakes with their hands; and
when they drink deadly poison, it will not
hurt them at all; they will place their
hands on sick people, and they will get
well.”
Luke 2:49 Why were you searching for
me?” “Didn’t you know I had to be in my
Father’s house?”

Luke 4:4 “It is written: ‘Man shall not live

on bread alone.’”

Luke 4:8 “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord

your God and serve him only.’”

Luke 4:12 “It is said: ‘Do not put the

Lord your God to the test.’”

Luke 4:18-19 18 “The Spirit of the Lord

is on me, because he has anointed me to
proclaim good news to the poor. He has
sent me to proclaim freedom for the
prisoners and recovery of sight for the
blind, to set the oppressed free, 19 to
proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

Luke 4:21 “Today this scripture is

fulfilled in your hearing.”
Luke 4:23-27 “Surely you will quote this
proverb to me: ‘Physician, heal yourself!’
And you will tell me, ‘Do here in your
hometown what we have heard that you
did in Capernaum.’” 24 “Truly I tell you,
“no prophet is accepted in his hometown.
25 I assure you that there were many
widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the
sky was shut for three and a half years
and there was a severe famine
throughout the land. 26 Yet Elijah was not
sent to any of them, but to a widow in
Zarephath in the region of Sidon. 27 And
there were many in Israel with leprosy in
the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not
one of them was cleansed—only Naaman
the Syrian.”

him!”

you will fish for people.”

Luke 5:13 “I am willing, Be clean!”

Luke 5:14 “Don’t tell anyone, but go,

show yourself to the priest and offer the
sacrifices that Moses commanded for
your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

Luke 5:20 “Friend, your sins are

forgiven.”

Luke 5:22-24 “Why are you thinking

these things in your hearts? 23 Which is
easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or
to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 24 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.”

Luke 5:27 Follow me.

Luke 5:31-32 “It is not the healthy who

need a doctor, but the sick. 32 I have not
come to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance.”

Luke 5:34-39 “Can you make the friends

of the bridegroom fast while he is with
them? 35 But the time will come when
the bridegroom will be taken from them;
in those days they will fast. 36 No one
tears a piece out of a new garment to
patch an old one. Otherwise, they will
have torn the new garment, and the
patch from the new will not match the
old. 37 And no one pours new wine into
old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine
will burst the skins; the wine will run out
and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 No,
new wine must be poured into new
wineskins. 39 And no one after drinking
old wine wants the new, for they say, ‘The
old is better.’”

Luke 6:3-5 “Have you never read what

David did when he and his companions
were hungry? 4 He entered the house of
God, and taking the consecrated bread,
he ate what is lawful only for priests to
eat. And he also gave some to his
companions. 5 The Son of Man is Lord of
the Sabbath.”

Luke 6:8 “Get up and stand in front of

everyone.”

Luke 6:20-49 “Blessed are you who are

poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you
will be satisfied. lessed are you who weep
now, for you will laugh. 22 Blessed are
you when people hate you, when they
exclude you and insult you and reject
your name as evil, because of the Son of
Man. 23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for
joy, because great is your reward in
heaven. For that is how their ancestors
treated the prophets. 24 “But woe to you
who are rich, for you have already
received your comfort. 25 Woe to you
who are well fed now, for you will go
hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for
you will mourn and weep. 26 Woe to you
when everyone speaks well of you, for
that is how their ancestors treated the
false prophets. 27 “But to you who are
listening I say: Love your enemies, do
good to those who hate you, 28 bless
those who curse you, pray for those who
mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on
one cheek, turn to them the other also. If
someone takes your coat, do not withhold
your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone
who asks you, and if anyone takes what
belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31
Do to others as you would have them do
to you. 32 “If you love those who love
you, what credit is that to you? Even
sinners love those who love them. 33 And
if you do good to those who are good to
you, what credit is that to you? Even
sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to
those from whom you expect repayment,
what credit is that to you? Even sinners
lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in
full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to
them, and lend to them without expecting
to get anything back. Then your reward
will be great, and you will be children of
the Most High, because he is kind to the
ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful,
just as your Father is merciful. 37 “Do not
judge, and you will not be judged. Do not
condemn, and you will not be
condemned. Forgive, and you will be
forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to
you. A good measure, pressed down,
shaken together and running over, will be
poured into your lap. For with the
measure you use, it will be measured to
you.” 39 “Can the blind lead the blind?
Will they not both fall into a pit? 40 The
student is not above the teacher, but
everyone who is fully trained will be like
their teacher. 41 “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? 42 How can you say to your
brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck
out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to
see the plank in your own eye? You
hypocrite, first take the plank out of your
eye, and then you will see clearly to
remove the speck from your brother’s
eye. 43 “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor
does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 Each
tree is recognized by its own fruit. People
do not pick figs from thornbushes, or
grapes from briers. 45 A good man brings
good things out of the good stored up in
his heart, and an evil man brings evil
things out of the evil stored up in his
heart. For the mouth speaks what the
heart is full of. 46 “Why do you call me,
‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47
As for everyone who comes to me and
hears my words and puts them into
practice, I will show you what they are
like. 48 They are like a man building a
house, who dug down deep and laid the
foundation on rock. When a flood came,
the torrent struck that house but could
not shake it, because it was well built. 49
But the one who hears my words and
does not put them into practice is like a
man who built a house on the ground
without a foundation. The moment the
torrent struck that house, it collapsed and
its destruction was complete.”

Luke 7:9 “I tell you, I have not found

such great faith even in Israel.”

Luke 7:13 “Don’t cry.”

Luke 7:14 “Young man, I say to you, get

up!”

Luke 7:22-23 “Go back and report to

John what you have seen and heard: The
blind receive sight, the lame walk, those
who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf
hear, the dead are raised, and the good
news is proclaimed to the poor. 23
Blessed is anyone who does not stumble
on account of me.”

Luke 7:24-28 “What did you go out into

the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by
the wind? 25 If not, what did you go out
to see? A man dressed in fine clothes?
No, those who wear expensive clothes
and indulge in luxury are in palaces. 26
But what did you go out to see? A
prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a
prophet. 27 This is the one about whom it
is written: “‘I will send my messenger
ahead of you, who will prepare your way
before you.’ 28 I tell you, among those
born of women there is no one greater
than John; yet the one who is least in the
kingdom of God is greater than he.”

Luke 7:31-35 “To what, then, can I

compare the people of this generation?
What are they like? 32 They are like
children sitting in the marketplace and
calling out to each other: “‘We played the
pipe for you, and you did not dance; we
sang a dirge, and you did not cry.’ 33 For
John the Baptist came neither eating
bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He
has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man came
eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Here is
a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax
collectors and sinners.’ 35 But wisdom is
proved right by all her children.”

Luke 7:40-42 “Simon, I have something

to tell you. 41 Two people owed money to
a certain moneylender. One owed him
five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 Neither of them had the money to pay
him back, so he forgave the debts of
both. Now which of them will love him
more?”

Luke 7:43 “You have judged correctly,”

Luke 7:44-47 “Do you see this woman? I

came into your house. You did not give
me any water for my feet, but she wet my
feet with her tears and wiped them with
her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss,
but this woman, from the time I entered,
has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You
did not put oil on my head, but she has
poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore,
I tell you, her many sins have been
forgiven—as her great love has shown.
But whoever has been forgiven little loves
little.”

Luke 7:48 Thy sins are forgiven.

Luke 7:50 “Your faith has saved you; go

in peace.”

Luke 8:5-8 5 “A farmer went out to sow

his seed. As he was scattering the seed,
some fell along the path; it was trampled
on, and the birds ate it up. 6 Some fell on
rocky ground, and when it came up, the
plants withered because they had no
moisture. 7 Other seed fell among thorns,
which grew up with it and choked the
plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil.
It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred
times more than was sown. Whoever has
ears to hear, let them hear.”

Luke 8:10-18 “The knowledge of the

secrets of the kingdom of God has been
given to you, but to others I speak in
parables, so that, “‘though seeing, they
may not see; though hearing, they may
not understand.’ 11 “This is the meaning
of the parable: The seed is the word of
God. 12 Those along the path are the
ones who hear, and then the devil comes
and takes away the word from their
hearts, so that they may not believe and
be saved. 13 Those on the rocky ground
are the ones who receive the word with
joy when they hear it, but they have no
root. They believe for a while, but in the
time of testing they fall away. 14 The
seed that fell among thorns stands for
those who hear, but as they go on their
way they are choked by life’s worries,
riches and pleasures, and they do not
mature. 15 But the seed on good soil
stands for those with a noble and good
heart, who hear the word, retain it, and
by persevering produce a crop. 16 “No
one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar
or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it
on a stand, so that those who come in
can see the light. 17 For there is nothing
hidden that will not be disclosed, and
nothing concealed that will not be known
or brought out into the open. 18
Therefore consider carefully how you
listen. Whoever has will be given more;
whoever does not have, even what they
think they have will be taken from them.”

Luke 8:21 “My mother and brothers are

those who hear God’s word and put it into
practice.”

Luke 8:22 “Let us go over to the other

side of the lake.”

Luke 8:30 “What is your name?”

Luke 8:39 39 “Return home and tell how

much God has done for you.”

Luke 8:45 Who touched me?

Luke 8:46 “Someone touched me; I know

that power has gone out from me.”

Luke 8:48 “Daughter, your faith has

healed you. Go in peace.”

Luke 8:54 “My child, get up!”

Luke 9:3-5 “Take nothing for the journey
—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money,
no extra shirt. 4 Whatever house you
enter, stay there until you leave that
town. 5 If people do not welcome you,
leave their town and shake the dust off
your feet as a testimony against them.”

eat.”

groups of about fifty each.”

Luke 9:18 “Who do the crowds say I

do you say I am?”

Luke 9:22-27 “The Son of Man must

suffer many things and be rejected by the
elders, the chief priests and the teachers
of the law, and he must be killed and on
the third day be raised to life.” 23
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must
deny themselves and take up their cross
daily and follow me. 24 For whoever
wants to save their life will lose it, but
whoever loses their life for me will save it.
25 What good is it for someone to gain
the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit
their very self? 26 Whoever is ashamed of
me and my words, the Son of Man will be
ashamed of them when he comes in his
glory and in the glory of the Father and of
the holy angels. 27 “Truly I tell you, some
who are standing here will not taste death
before they see the kingdom of God.”

Luke 9:41 41 “You unbelieving and

perverse generation, how long shall I stay
with you and put up with you? Bring your
son here.”
Luke 9:44 44 “Listen carefully to what I
am about to tell you: The Son of Man is
going to be delivered into the hands of
men.”

Luke 9:48 “Whoever welcomes this little

child in my name welcomes me; and
whoever welcomes me welcomes the one
who sent me. For it is the one who is least
among you all who is the greatest.”

dead, but you go and proclaim the
kingdom of God.”
Luke 9:62 “No one who puts a hand to
the plow and looks back is fit for service
in the kingdom of God.”

Luke 10:2-16 “The harvest is plentiful,

but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of
the harvest, therefore, to send out
workers into his harvest field. 3 Go! I am
sending you out like lambs among
wolves. 4 Do not take a purse or bag or
sandals; and do not greet anyone on the
road. 5 “When you enter a house, first
say, ‘Peace to this house.’ 6 If someone
who promotes peace is there, your peace
will rest on them; if not, it will return to
you. 7 Stay there, eating and drinking
whatever they give you, for the worker
deserves his wages. Do not move around
from house to house. 8 “When you enter
a town and are welcomed, eat what is
offered to you. 9 Heal the sick who are
there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God
has come near to you.’ 10 But when you
enter a town and are not welcomed, go
into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust
of your town we wipe from our feet as a
warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The
kingdom of God has come near.’ 12 I tell
you, it will be more bearable on that day
for Sodom than for that town. 13 “Woe to
you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For
if the miracles that were performed in you
had been performed in Tyre and Sidon,
they would have repented long ago,
sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it
will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon
at the judgment than for you. 15 And you,
Capernaum, will you be lifted to the
heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.
16 “Whoever listens to you listens to me;
whoever rejects you rejects me; but
whoever rejects me rejects him who sent
me.”

Luke 10:18-20 “I saw Satan fall like

lightning from heaven. 19 I have given
you authority to trample on snakes and
scorpions and to overcome all the power
of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20
However, do not rejoice that the spirits
submit to you, but rejoice that your
names are written in heaven.”

Luke 10:21-22 “I praise you, Father,

Lord of heaven and earth, because you
have hidden these things from the wise
and learned, and revealed them to little
children. Yes, Father, for this is what you
were pleased to do. 22 “All things have
been committed to me by my Father. No
one knows who the Son is except the
Father, and no one knows who the Father
is except the Son and those to whom the
Son chooses to reveal him.”

Luke 10:23-24 “Blessed are the eyes

that see what you see. 24 For I tell you
that many prophets and kings wanted to
see what you see but did not see it, and
to hear what you hear but did not hear
it.”

Luke 10:26 26 “What is written in the

Law? How do you read it?”

Luke 10:28 28 “You have answered

correctly, Do this and you will live.”

Luke 10:30-36 A man was going down

from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was
attacked by robbers. They stripped him of
his clothes, beat him and went away,
leaving him half dead. 31 A priest
happened to be going down the same
road, and when he saw the man, he
passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a
Levite, when he came to the place and
saw him, passed by on the other side. 33
But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came
where the man was; and when he saw
him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to
him and bandaged his wounds, pouring
on oil and wine. Then he put the man on
his own donkey, brought him to an inn
and took care of him. 35 The next day he
took out two denarii and gave them to the
innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and
when I return, I will reimburse you for any
extra expense you may have.’ 36 “Which
of these three do you think was a
neighbor to the man who fell into the
hands of robbers?”

Luke 10:37 Go, and do likewise.

Luke 10:41-42 41 “Martha, Martha, you

are worried and upset about many things,
42 but few things are needed—or indeed
only one. Mary has chosen what is better,
and it will not be taken away from her.”

Luke 11:2-13 “When you pray, say:

“‘Father, hallowed be your name, your
kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our
daily bread. 4 Forgive us our sins, for we
also forgive everyone who sins against
us. And lead us not into temptation.’” 5
“Suppose you have a friend, and you go
to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend
me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of
mine on a journey has come to me, and I
have no food to offer him.’ 7 And suppose
the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me.
The door is already locked, and my
children and I are in bed. I can’t get up
and give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even
though he will not get up and give you
the bread because of friendship, yet
because of your shameless audacity he
will surely get up and give you as much
as you need. 9 “So I say to you: Ask and it
will be given to you; seek and you will
find; knock and the door will be opened to
you. 10 For everyone who asks receives;
the one who seeks finds; and to the one
who knocks, the door will be opened. 11
“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for
a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12
Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a
scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are
evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will your Father
in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those
who ask him!”

Luke 11:17-26 “Any kingdom divided

against itself will be ruined, and a house
divided against itself will fall. 18 If Satan
is divided against himself, how can his
kingdom stand? I say this because you
claim that I drive out demons by
Beelzebul. 19 Now if I drive out demons
by Beelzebul, by whom do your followers
drive them out? So then, they will be your
judges. 20 But if I drive out demons by
the finger of God, then the kingdom of
God has come upon you. 21 “When a
strong man, fully armed, guards his own
house, his possessions are safe. 22 But
when someone stronger attacks and
overpowers him, he takes away the armor
in which the man trusted and divides up
his plunder. 23 “Whoever is not with me
is against me, and whoever does not
gather with me scatters. 24 “When an
impure spirit comes out of a person, it
goes through arid places seeking rest and
does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return
to the house I left.’ 25 When it arrives, it
finds the house swept clean and put in
order. 26 Then it goes and takes seven
other spirits more wicked than itself, and
they go in and live there. And the final
condition of that person is worse than the
first.”

Luke 11:28 “Blessed rather are those

who hear the word of God and obey it.”

Luke 11:29-36 “This is a wicked

generation. It asks for a sign, but none
will be given it except the sign of Jonah.
30 For as Jonah was a sign to the
Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be
to this generation. 31 The Queen of the
South will rise at the judgment with the
people of this generation and condemn
them, for she came from the ends of the
earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom; and
now something greater than Solomon is
here. 32 The men of Nineveh will stand
up at the judgment with this generation
and condemn it, for they repented at the
preaching of Jonah; and now something
greater than Jonah is here. 33 “No one
lights a lamp and puts it in a place where
it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead
they put it on its stand, so that those who
come in may see the light. 34 Your eye is
the lamp of your body. When your eyes
are healthy, your whole body also is full of
light. But when they are unhealthy, your
body also is full of darkness. 35 See to it,
then, that the light within you is not
darkness. 36 Therefore, if your whole
body is full of light, and no part of it dark,
it will be just as full of light as when a
lamp shines its light on you.”

Luke 11:39-44 “Now then, you Pharisees

clean the outside of the cup and dish, but
inside you are full of greed and
wickedness. 40 You foolish people! Did
not the one who made the outside make
the inside also? 41 But now as for what is
inside you—be generous to the poor, and
everything will be clean for you. 42 “Woe
to you Pharisees, because you give God a
tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds
of garden herbs, but you neglect justice
and the love of God. You should have
practiced the latter without leaving the
former undone. 43 “Woe to you
Pharisees, because you love the most
important seats in the synagogues and
respectful greetings in the marketplaces.
44 “Woe to you, because you are like
unmarked graves, which people walk over
without knowing it.”
Luke 11:46-52 “And you experts in the
law, woe to you, because you load people
down with burdens they can hardly carry,
and you yourselves will not lift one finger
to help them. 47 “Woe to you, because
you build tombs for the prophets, and it
was your ancestors who killed them. 48
So you testify that you approve of what
your ancestors did; they killed the
prophets, and you build their tombs. 49
Because of this, God in his wisdom said, ‘I
will send them prophets and apostles,
some of whom they will kill and others
they will persecute.’ 50 Therefore this
generation will be held responsible for the
blood of all the prophets that has been
shed since the beginning of the world, 51
from the blood of Abel to the blood of
Zechariah, who was killed between the
altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you,
this generation will be held responsible
for it all. 52 “Woe to you experts in the
law, because you have taken away the
key to knowledge. You yourselves have
not entered, and you have hindered those
who were entering.”

Luke 12:1-12 “Be on your guard against

the yeast of the Pharisees, which is
hypocrisy. 2 There is nothing concealed
that will not be disclosed, or hidden that
will not be made known. 3 What you have
said in the dark will be heard in the
daylight, and what you have whispered in
the ear in the inner rooms will be
proclaimed from the roofs. 4 “I tell you,
my friends, do not be afraid of those who
kill the body and after that can do no
more. 5 But I will show you whom you
should fear: Fear him who, after your
body has been killed, has authority to
throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear
him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two
pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten
by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your
head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid;
you are worth more than many sparrows.
8 “I tell you, whoever publicly
acknowledges me before others, the Son
of Man will also acknowledge before the
angels of God. 9 But whoever disowns me
before others will be disowned before the
angels of God. 10 And everyone who
speaks a word against the Son of Man will
be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes
against the Holy Spirit will not be
forgiven. 11 “When you are brought
before synagogues, rulers and
authorities, do not worry about how you
will defend yourselves or what you will
say, 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you
at that time what you should say.”

Luke 12:14-15 “Man, who appointed me

a judge or an arbiter between you? Watch
out! Be on your guard against all kinds of
greed; life does not consist in an
abundance of possessions.”
Luke 12:16-40 “The ground of a certain
rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17
He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I
have no place to store my crops.’ 18
“Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will
tear down my barns and build bigger
ones, and there I will store my surplus
grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have
plenty of grain laid up for many years.
Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This
very night your life will be demanded
from you. Then who will get what you
have prepared for yourself?’ 21 “This is
how it will be with whoever stores up
things for themselves but is not rich
toward God.” 22 Therefore I tell you, do
not worry about your life, what you will
eat; or about your body, what you will
wear. 23 For life is more than food, and
the body more than clothes. 24 Consider
the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they
have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds
them. And how much more valuable you
are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying
can add a single hour to your life? 26
Since you cannot do this very little thing,
why do you worry about the rest? 27
“Consider how the wild flowers grow.
They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you,
not even Solomon in all his splendor was
dressed like one of these. 28 If that is
how God clothes the grass of the field,
which is here today, and tomorrow is
thrown into the fire, how much more will
he clothe you—you of little faith! 29 And
do not set your heart on what you will eat
or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the
pagan world runs after all such things,
and your Father knows that you need
them. 31 But seek his kingdom, and these
things will be given to you as well. 32 “Do
not be afraid, little flock, for your Father
has been pleased to give you the
kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and
give to the poor. Provide purses for
yourselves that will not wear out, a
treasure in heaven that will never fail,
where no thief comes near and no moth
destroys. 34 For where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also. 35 “Be
dressed ready for service and keep your
lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting
for their master to return from a wedding
banquet, so that when he comes and
knocks they can immediately open the
door for him. 37 It will be good for those
servants whose master finds them
watching when he comes. Truly I tell you,
he will dress himself to serve, will have
them recline at the table and will come
and wait on them. 38 It will be good for
those servants whose master finds them
ready, even if he comes in the middle of
the night or toward daybreak. 39 But
understand this: If the owner of the house
had known at what hour the thief was
coming, he would not have let his house
be broken into. 40 You also must be
ready, because the Son of Man will come
at an hour when you do not expect him.”

Luke 12:42-59 “Who then is the faithful

and wise manager, whom the master puts
in charge of his servants to give them
their food allowance at the proper time?
43 It will be good for that servant whom
the master finds doing so when he
returns. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him
in charge of all his possessions. 45 But
suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My
master is taking a long time in coming,’
and he then begins to beat the other
servants, both men and women, and to
eat and drink and get drunk. 46 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
unbelievers. 47 “The servant who knows
the master’s will and does not get ready
or does not do what the master wants will
be beaten with many blows. 48 But the
one who does not know and does things
deserving punishment will be beaten with
few blows. From everyone who has been
given much, much will be demanded; and
from the one who has been entrusted
with much, much more will be asked. 49
“I have come to bring fire on the earth,
and how I wish it were already kindled! 50
But I have a baptism to undergo, and
what constraint I am under until it is
completed! 51 Do you think I came to
bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but
division. 52 From now on there will be five
in one family divided against each other,
three against two and two against three.
53 They will be divided, father against
son and son against father, mother
against daughter and daughter against
mother, mother-in-law against daughter-
in-law and daughter-in-law against
mother-in-law.” 54 He said to the crowd:
“When you see a cloud rising in the west,
immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’
and it does. 55 And when the south wind
blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and
it is. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to
interpret the appearance of the earth and
the sky. How is it that you don’t know
how to interpret this present time? 57
“Why don’t you judge for yourselves what
is right? 58 As you are going with your
adversary to the magistrate, try hard to
be reconciled on the way, or your
adversary may drag you off to the judge,
and the judge turn you over to the officer,
and the officer throw you into prison. 59 I
tell you, you will not get out until you
have paid the last penny.”

Luke 13:2-9 “Do you think that these

Galileans were worse sinners than all the
other Galileans because they suffered this
way? 3 I tell you, no! But unless you
repent, you too will all perish. 4 Or those
eighteen who died when the tower in
Siloam fell on them—do you think they
were more guilty than all the others living
in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no! But unless
you repent, you too will all perish. A man
had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and
he went to look for fruit on it but did not
find any. 7 So he said to the man who
took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years
now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on
this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it
down! Why should it use up the soil?’ 8
“‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for
one more year, and I’ll dig around it and
fertilize it. 9 If it bears fruit next year,
fine! If not, then cut it down.’”

Luke 13:12 “Woman, you are set free

from your infirmity.”

Luke 13:15-16 “You hypocrites! Doesn’t

each of you on the Sabbath untie your ox
or donkey from the stall and lead it out to
give it water? 16 Then should not this
woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom
Satan has kept bound for eighteen long
years, be set free on the Sabbath day
from what bound her?”

Luke 13:18-21 “What is the kingdom of

God like? What shall I compare it to? 19 It
is like a mustard seed, which a man took
and planted in his garden. It grew and
became a tree, and the birds perched in
its branches.” 20 “What shall I compare
the kingdom of God to? 21 It is like yeast
that a woman took and mixed into about
sixty pounds of flour until it worked all
through the dough.”

Luke 13:24-30 24 “Make every effort to

enter through the narrow door, because
many, I tell you, will try to enter and will
not be able to. 25 Once the owner of the
house gets up and closes the door, you
will stand outside knocking and pleading,
‘Sir, open the door for us.’ “But he will
answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you
come from.’ 26 “Then you will say, ‘We
ate and drank with you, and you taught in
our streets.’ 27 “But he will reply, ‘I don’t
know you or where you come from. Away
from me, all you evildoers!’ 28 “There will
be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth,
when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
and all the prophets in the kingdom of
God, but you yourselves thrown out. 29
People will come from east and west and
north and south, and will take their places
at the feast in the kingdom of God. 30
Indeed there are those who are last who
will be first, and first who will be last.”

Luke 13:32-35 “Go tell that fox, ‘I will

keep on driving out demons and healing
people today and tomorrow, and on the
third day I will reach my goal.’ 33 In any
case, I must press on today and tomorrow
and the next day—for surely no prophet
can die outside Jerusalem! 34 “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. 35 Look,
your house is left to you desolate. I tell
you, you will not see me again until you
say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the
name of the Lord.’”

Luke 14:3 “Is it lawful to heal on the

Sabbath or not?”

Luke 14:5 “If one of you has a child or an

ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath
day, will you not immediately pull it out?”

Luke 14:8-14 8 “When someone invites

you to a wedding feast, do not take the
place of honor, for a person more
distinguished than you may have been
invited. 9 If so, the host who invited both
of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this
person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you
will have to take the least important
place. 10 But when you are invited, take
the lowest place, so that when your host
comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move
up to a better place.’ Then you will be
honored in the presence of all the other
guests. 11 For all those who exalt
themselves will be humbled, and those
who humble themselves will be exalted.”
12 “When you give a luncheon or dinner,
do not invite your friends, your brothers
or sisters, your relatives, or your rich
neighbors; if you do, they may invite you
back and so you will be repaid. 13 But
when you give a banquet, invite the poor,
the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14 and
you will be blessed. Although they cannot
repay you, you will be repaid at the
resurrection of the righteous.”

Luke 14:16-24 “A certain man was

preparing a great banquet and invited
many guests. 17 At the time of the
banquet he sent his servant to tell those
who had been invited, ‘Come, for
everything is now ready.’ 18 “But they all
alike began to make excuses. The first
said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I
must go and see it. Please excuse me.’ 19
“Another said, ‘I have just bought five
yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try
them out. Please excuse me.’ 20 “Still
another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t
come.’ 21 “The servant came back and
reported this to his master. Then the
owner of the house became angry and
ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into
the streets and alleys of the town and
bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind
and the lame.’ 22 “‘Sir,’ the servant said,
‘what you ordered has been done, but
there is still room. 23 “Then the master
told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and
country lanes and compel them to come
in, so that my house will be full. 24 I tell
you, not one of those who were invited
will get a taste of my banquet.’”

Luke 14:26-35 26 “If anyone comes to

me and does not hate father and mother,
wife and children, brothers and sisters—
yes, even their own life—such a person
cannot be my disciple. 27 And whoever
does not carry their cross and follow me
cannot be my disciple. 28 “Suppose one
of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you
first sit down and estimate the cost to see
if you have enough money to complete it?
29 For if you lay the foundation and are
not able to finish it, everyone who sees it
will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person
began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
31 “Or suppose a king is about to go to
war against another king. Won’t he first
sit down and consider whether he is able
with ten thousand men to oppose the one
coming against him with twenty
thousand? 32 If he is not able, he will
send a delegation while the other is still a
long way off and will ask for terms of
peace. 33 In the same way, those of you
who do not give up everything you have
cannot be my disciples. 34 “Salt is good,
but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be
made salty again? 35 It is fit neither for
the soil nor for the manure pile; it is
thrown out. “Whoever has ears to hear,
let them hear.”

Luke 15:4-32 4 “Suppose one of you has

a hundred sheep and loses one of them.
Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the
open country and go after the lost sheep
until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it,
he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and
goes home. Then he calls his friends and
neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice
with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I
tell you that in the same way there will be
more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner
who repents than over ninety-nine
righteous persons who do not need to
repent. 8 “Or suppose a woman has ten
silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she
light a lamp, sweep the house and search
carefully until she finds it? 9 And when
she finds it, she calls her friends and
neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice
with me; I have found my lost coin.’ 10 In
the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing
in the presence of the angels of God over
one sinner who repents. 11 There was a
man who had two sons. 12 The younger
one said to his father, ‘Father, give me
my share of the estate.’ So he divided his
property between them. 13 “Not long
after that, the younger son got together
all he had, set off for a distant country
and there squandered his wealth in wild
living. 14 After he had spent everything,
there was a severe famine in that whole
country, and he began to be in need. 15
So he went and hired himself out to a
citizen of that country, who sent him to
his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill
his stomach with the pods that the pigs
were eating, but no one gave him
anything. 17 “When he came to his
senses, he said, ‘How many of my
father’s hired servants have food to
spare, and here I am starving to death!
18 I will set out and go back to my father
and say to him: Father, I have sinned
against heaven and against you. 19 I am
no longer worthy to be called your son;
make me like one of your hired servants.’
20 So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his
father saw him and was filled with
compassion for him; he ran to his son,
threw his arms around him and kissed
him. 21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I
have sinned against heaven and against
you. I am no longer worthy to be called
your son.’ 22 “But the father said to his
servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and
put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and
sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened
calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and
celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was
dead and is alive again; he was lost and is
found.’ So they began to celebrate. 25
“Meanwhile, the older son was in the
field. When he came near the house, he
heard music and dancing. 26 So he called
one of the servants and asked him what
was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’
he replied, ‘and your father has killed the
fattened calf because he has him back
safe and sound.’ 28 “The older brother
became angry and refused to go in. So his
father went out and pleaded with him. 29
But he answered his father, ‘Look! All
these years I’ve been slaving for you and
never disobeyed your orders. Yet you
never gave me even a young goat so I
could celebrate with my friends. 30 But
when this son of yours who has
squandered your property with
prostitutes comes home, you kill the
fattened calf for him!’ 31 “‘My son,’ the
father said, ‘you are always with me, and
everything I have is yours. 32 But we had
to celebrate and be glad, because this
brother of yours was dead and is alive
again; he was lost and is found.’”

Luke 16:1-13 “There was a rich man

whose manager was accused of wasting
his possessions. 2 So he called him in and
asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you?
Give an account of your management,
because you cannot be manager any
longer.’ 3 “The manager said to himself,
‘What shall I do now? My master is taking
away my job. I’m not strong enough to
dig, and I’m ashamed to beg— 4 I know
what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job
here, people will welcome me into their
houses.’ 5 “So he called in each one of his
master’s debtors. He asked the first, ‘How
much do you owe my master?’ 6 “‘Nine
hundred gallons of olive oil,’ he replied.
“The manager told him, ‘Take your bill, sit
down quickly, and make it four hundred
and fifty.’ 7 “Then he asked the second,
‘And how much do you owe?’ “‘A
thousand bushels of wheat,’ he replied.
“He told him, ‘Take your bill and make it
eight hundred.’ 8 “The master
commended the dishonest manager
because he had acted shrewdly. For the
people of this world are more shrewd in
dealing with their own kind than are the
people of the light. 9 I tell you, use
worldly wealth to gain friends for
yourselves, so that when it is gone, you
will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.
10 “Whoever can be trusted with very
little can also be trusted with much, and
whoever is dishonest with very little will
also be dishonest with much. 11 So if you
have not been trustworthy in handling
worldly wealth, who will trust you with
true riches? 12 And if you have not been
trustworthy with someone else’s property,
who will give you property of your own?
13 “No one can serve two masters. Either
you will hate the one and love the other,
or you will be devoted to the one and
despise the other. You cannot serve both
God and money.”

Luke 16:15-31 “You are the ones who

justify yourselves in the eyes of others,
but God knows your hearts. What people
value highly is detestable in God’s sight.
16 “The Law and the Prophets were
proclaimed until John. Since that time, the
good news of the kingdom of God is being
preached, and everyone is forcing their
way into it. 17 It is easier for heaven and
earth to disappear than for the least
stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law. 18
“Anyone who divorces his wife and
marries another woman commits
adultery, and the man who marries a
divorced woman commits adultery. 19
“There was a rich man who was dressed
in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury
every day. 20 At his gate was laid a
beggar named Lazarus, covered with
sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from
the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came
and licked his sores. 22 “The time came
when the beggar died and the angels
carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich
man also died and was buried. 23 In
Hades, where he was in torment, he
looked up and saw Abraham far away,
with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called
to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me
and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his
finger in water and cool my tongue,
because I am in agony in this fire.’ 25
“But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember
that in your lifetime you received your
good things, while Lazarus received bad
things, but now he is comforted here and
you are in agony. 26 And besides all this,
between us and you a great chasm has
been set in place, so that those who want
to go from here to you cannot, nor can
anyone cross over from there to us.’ 27
“He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father,
send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have
five brothers. Let him warn them, so that
they will not also come to this place of
torment. 29 “Abraham replied, ‘They
have Moses and the Prophets; let them
listen to them.’ 30 “‘No, father Abraham,’
he said, ‘but if someone from the dead
goes to them, they will repent.’ 31 “He
said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses
and the Prophets, they will not be
convinced even if someone rises from the
dead.’”

Luke 17:1-4 “Things that cause people

to stumble are bound to come, but woe to
anyone through whom they come. 2 It
would be better for them to be thrown
into the sea with a millstone tied around
their neck than to cause one of these
little ones to stumble. 3 So watch
yourselves. “If your brother or sister sins
against you, rebuke them; and if they
repent, forgive them. 4 Even if they sin
against you seven times in a day and
seven times come back to you saying ‘I
repent,’ you must forgive them.”

Luke 17:6-10 “If you have faith as small

as a mustard seed, you can say to this
mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted
in the sea,’ and it will obey you. 7
“Suppose one of you has a servant
plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he
say to the servant when he comes in from
the field, ‘Come along now and sit down
to eat’? 8 Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare
my supper, get yourself ready and wait
on me while I eat and drink; after that you
may eat and drink’? 9 Will he thank the
servant because he did what he was told
to do? 10 So you also, when you have
done everything you were told to do,
should say, ‘We are unworthy servants;
we have only done our duty.’”

Luke 17:14 “Go, show yourselves to the

priests.”

Luke 17:17-19 “Were not all ten

cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18
Has no one returned to give praise to God
except this foreigner?” 19 “Rise and go;
your faith has made you well.”

Luke 17:20-35 “The coming of the

kingdom of God is not something that can
be observed, 21 nor will people say, ‘Here
it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom
of God is in your midst. The time is
coming when you will long to see one of
the days of the Son of Man, but you will
not see it. 23 People will tell you, ‘There
he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running
off after them. 24 For the Son of Man in
his day will be like the lightning, which
flashes and lights up the sky from one
end to the other. 25 But first he must
suffer many things and be rejected by
this generation. 26 “Just as it was in the
days of Noah, so also will it be in the days
of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating,
drinking, marrying and being given in
marriage up to the day Noah entered the
ark. Then the flood came and destroyed
them all. 28 “It was the same in the days
of Lot. People were eating and drinking,
buying and selling, planting and building.
29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and
sulfur rained down from heaven and
destroyed them all. 30 “It will be just like
this on the day the Son of Man is
revealed. 31 On that day no one who is
on the housetop, with possessions inside,
should go down to get them. Likewise, no
one in the field should go back for
anything. 32 Remember Lot’s wife! 33
Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it,
and whoever loses their life will preserve
it. 34 I tell you, on that night two people
will be in one bed; one will be taken and
the other left. 35 Two women will be
grinding grain together; one will be taken
and the other left.”

Luke 17:37 “Where there is a dead

body, there the vultures will gather.”

Luke 18:2-8 “In a certain town there was

a judge who neither feared God nor cared
what people thought. 3 And there was a
widow in that town who kept coming to
him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice
against my adversary.’ 4 “For some time
he refused. But finally he said to himself,
‘Even though I don’t fear God or care
what people think, 5 yet because this
widow keeps bothering me, I will see that
she gets justice, so that she won’t
eventually come and attack me!’” 6 And
the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust
judge says. 7 And will not God bring
about justice for his chosen ones, who cry
out to him day and night? Will he keep
putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see
that they get justice, and quickly.
However, when the Son of Man comes,
will he find faith on the earth?”

Luke 18:10-14 10 “Two men went up to

the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and
the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee
stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I
thank you that I am not like other people
—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even
like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a
week and give a tenth of all I get.’ 13
“But the tax collector stood at a distance.
He would not even look up to heaven, but
beat his breast and said, ‘God, have
mercy on me, a sinner.’ 14 “I tell you that
this man, rather than the other, went
home justified before God. For all those
who exalt themselves will be humbled,
and those who humble themselves will be
exalted.”

Luke 18:16-17 “Let the little children

come to me, and do not hinder them, for
the kingdom of God belongs to such as
these. 17 Truly I tell you, anyone who will
not receive the kingdom of God like a
little child will never enter it.”

Luke 18:19-20 19 “Why do you call me

good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—
except God alone. 20 You know the
commandments: ‘You shall not commit
adultery, you shall not murder, you shall
not steal, you shall not give false
testimony, honor your father and
mother.’”

Luke 18:22 “You still lack one thing. Sell

everything you have and give to the poor,
and you will have treasure in heaven.
Then come, follow me.”
Luke 18:24-25 “How hard it is for the
rich to enter the kingdom of God! 25
Indeed, 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.”

Luke 18:27 “What is impossible with

man is possible with God.”

Luke 18:29-30 29 “Truly I tell you, no

one who has left home or wife or brothers
or sisters or parents or children for the
sake of the kingdom of God 30 will fail to
receive many times as much in this age,
and in the age to come eternal life.”

Luke 18:31-33 “We are going up to

Jerusalem, and everything that is written
by the prophets about the Son of Man will
be fulfilled. 32 He will be delivered over to
the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult
him and spit on him; 33 they will flog him
and kill him. On the third day he will rise
again.”

came to seek and to save the lost.”

Luke 19:12-27 “A man of noble birth

went to a distant country to have himself
appointed king and then to return. 13 So
he called ten of his servants and gave
them ten minas. ‘Put this money to work,’
he said, ‘until I come back.’ 14 “But his
subjects hated him and sent a delegation
after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man
to be our king.’ 15 “He was made king,
however, and returned home. Then he
sent for the servants to whom he had
given the money, in order to find out what
they had gained with it. 16 “The first one
came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned
ten more.’ 17 “‘Well done, my good
servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you
have been trustworthy in a very small
matter, take charge of ten cities.’ 18 “The
second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has
earned five more.’ 19 “His master
answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’
20 “Then another servant came and said,
‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid
away in a piece of cloth. 21 I was afraid of
you, because you are a hard man. You
take out what you did not put in and reap
what you did not sow.’ 22 “His master
replied, ‘I will judge you by your own
words, you wicked servant! You knew, did
you, that I am a hard man, taking out
what I did not put in, and reaping what I
did not sow? 23 Why then didn’t you put
my money on deposit, so that when I
came back, I could have collected it with
interest?’ 24 “Then he said to those
standing by, ‘Take his mina away from
him and give it to the one who has ten
minas.’ 25 “‘Sir,’ they said, ‘he already
has ten!’ 26 “He replied, ‘I tell you that to
everyone who has, more will be given,
but as for the one who has nothing, even
what they have will be taken away. 27
But those enemies of mine who did not
want me to be king over them—bring
them here and kill them in front of me.’”

Luke 19:30-31 30 “Go to the village

ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will
find a colt tied there, which no one has
ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying
it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”

Luke 19:40 40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if

they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

Luke 19:42-44 “If you, even you, had

only known on this day what would bring
you peace—but now it is hidden from
your eyes. 43 The days will come upon
you when your enemies will build an
embankment against you and encircle
you and hem you in on every side. 44
They will dash you to the ground, you and
the children within your walls. They will
not leave one stone on another, because
you did not recognize the time of God’s
coming to you.”

Luke 19:46 46 “It is written,” he said to

them, “‘My house will be a house of
prayer’; but you have made it ‘a den of
robbers.’”

question. Tell me: 4 John’s baptism—was
it from heaven, or of human origin?”

Luke 20:8 “Neither will I tell you by what

authority I am doing these things.”

Luke 20:9-16 “A man planted a

vineyard, rented it to some farmers and
went away for a long time. 10 At harvest
time he sent a servant to the tenants so
they would give him some of the fruit of
the vineyard. But the tenants beat him
and sent him away empty-handed. 11 He
sent another servant, but that one also
they beat and treated shamefully and
sent away empty-handed. 12 He sent still
a third, and they wounded him and threw
him out. 13 “Then the owner of the
vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send
my son, whom I love; perhaps they will
respect him.’ 14 “But when the tenants
saw him, they talked the matter over.
‘This is the heir,’ they said. ‘Let’s kill him,
and the inheritance will be ours.’ 15 So
they threw him out of the vineyard and
killed him. “What then will the owner of
the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come
and kill those tenants and give the
vineyard to others.”

Luke 20:17-18 “Then what is the

meaning of that which is written: “‘The
stone the builders rejected has become
the cornerstone’? 18 Everyone who falls
on that stone will be broken to pieces;

God’s.”

Luke 20:34-38 “The people of this age

marry and are given in marriage. 35 But
those who are considered worthy of
taking part in the age to come and in the
resurrection from the dead will neither
marry nor be given in marriage, 36 and
they can no longer die; for they are like
the angels. They are God’s children, since
they are children of the resurrection. 37
But in the account of the burning bush,
even Moses showed that the dead rise,
for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham,
and the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob.’ 38 He is not the God of the dead,
but of the living, for to him all are alive.”

Luke 20:41-44 “Why is it said that the

Messiah is the son of David? 42 David
himself declares in the Book of Psalms:
“‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my
right hand 43 until I make your enemies a
footstool for your feet.”’ 44 David calls
him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”
Luke 20:46-47 46 “Beware of the
teachers of the law. They like to walk
around in flowing robes and love to be
greeted with respect in the marketplaces
and have the most important seats in the
synagogues and the places of honor at
banquets. 47 They devour widows’
houses and for a show make lengthy
prayers. These men will be punished most
severely.”

Luke 21:3-4 3 “Truly I tell you,” he said,

“this poor widow has put in more than all
the others. 4 All these people gave their
gifts out of their wealth; but she out of
her poverty put in all she had to live on.”

Luke 21:6 6 “As for what you see here,

the time will come when not one stone
will be left on another; every one of them
will be thrown down.”

Luke 21:8-9 “Watch out that you are not

deceived. For many will come in my
name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time
is near.’ Do not follow them. 9 When you
hear of wars and uprisings, do not be
frightened. These things must happen
first, but the end will not come right
away.”

Luke 21:10-36 “Nation will rise against

nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11
There will be great earthquakes, famines
and pestilences in various places, and
fearful events and great signs from
heaven. 12 “But before all this, they will
seize you and persecute you. They will
hand you over to synagogues and put you
in prison, and you will be brought before
kings and governors, and all on account
of my name. 13 And so you will bear
testimony to me. 14 But make up your
mind not to worry beforehand how you
will defend yourselves. 15 For I will give
you words and wisdom that none of your
adversaries will be able to resist or
contradict. 16 You will be betrayed even
by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives
and friends, and they will put some of you
to death. 17 Everyone will hate you
because of me. 18 But not a hair of your
head will perish. 19 Stand firm, and you
will win life. 20 “When you see Jerusalem
being surrounded by armies, you will
know that its desolation is near. 21 Then
let those who are in Judea flee to the
mountains, let those in the city get out,
and let those in the country not enter the
city. 22 For this is the time of punishment
in fulfillment of all that has been written.
23 How dreadful it will be in those days
for pregnant women and nursing
mothers! There will be great distress in
the land and wrath against this people. 24
They will fall by the sword and will be
taken as prisoners to all the nations.
Jerusalem will be trampled on by the
Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles
are fulfilled. 25 “There will be signs in the
sun, moon and stars. On the earth,
nations will be in anguish and perplexity
at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26
People will faint from terror, apprehensive
of what is coming on the world, for the
heavenly bodies will be shaken. 27 At
that time they will see the Son of Man
coming in a cloud with power and great
glory. 28 When these things begin to take
place, stand up and lift up your heads,
because your redemption is drawing
near.” 29 “Look at the fig tree and all the
trees. 30 When they sprout leaves, you
can see for yourselves and know that
summer is near. 31 Even so, when you
see these things happening, you know
that the kingdom of God is near. 32 “Truly
I tell you, this generation will certainly not
pass away until all these things have
happened. 33 Heaven and earth will pass
away, but my words will never pass away.
34 “Be careful, or your hearts will be
weighed down with carousing,
drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and
that day will close on you suddenly like a
trap. 35 For it will come on all those who
live on the face of the whole earth. 36 Be
always on the watch, and pray that you
may be able to escape all that is about to
happen, and that you may be able to
stand before the Son of Man.”

Luke 22:8 “Go and make preparations

for us to eat the Passover.”

Luke 22:10-12 “As you enter the city, a

man carrying a jar of water will meet you.
Follow him to the house that he enters,
11 and say to the owner of the house,
‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest
room, where I may eat the Passover with
my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large
room upstairs, all furnished. Make
preparations there.”
Luke 22:15-16 “I have eagerly desired
to eat this Passover with you before I
suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it
again until it finds fulfillment in the
kingdom of God.”

Luke 22:17-18 “Take this and divide it

among you. 18 For I tell you I will not
drink again from the fruit of the vine until
the kingdom of God comes.”

Luke 22:19 “This is my body given for

you; do this in remembrance of me.”

Luke 22:20-22 “This cup is the new

covenant in my blood, which is poured
out for you. 21 But the hand of him who is
going to betray me is with mine on the
table. 22 The Son of Man will go as it has
been decreed. But woe to that man who
betrays him!”

Luke 22:25-32 “The kings of the

Gentiles lord it over them; and those who
exercise authority over them call
themselves Benefactors. 26 But you are
not to be like that. Instead, the greatest
among you should be like the youngest,
and the one who rules like the one who
serves. 27 For who is greater, the one
who is at the table or the one who
serves? Is it not the one who is at the
table? But I am among you as one who
serves. 28 You are those who have stood
by me in my trials. 29 And I confer on you
a kingdom, just as my Father conferred
one on me, 30 so that you may eat and
drink at my table in my kingdom and sit
on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of
Israel. 31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked
to sift all of you as wheat. 32 But I have
prayed for you, Simon, that your faith
may not fail. And when you have turned
back, strengthen your brothers.”

Luke 22:34 “I tell you, Peter, before the

rooster crows today, you will deny three
times that you know me.”

Luke 22:35 “When I sent you without

purse, bag or sandals, did you lack
anything?”

Luke 22:36-37 “But now if you have a

purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you
don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and
buy one. 37 It is written: ‘And he was
numbered with the transgressors’; and I
tell you that this must be fulfilled in me.
Yes, what is written about me is reaching
its fulfillment.”

Luke 22:38 “That’s enough!”

Luke 22:40 “Pray that you will not fall

into temptation.”

Luke 22:42 42 “Father, if you are willing,

take this cup from me; yet not my will,
but yours be done.”

Luke 22:46 46 “Why are you sleeping?”

he asked them. “Get up and pray so that
you will not fall into temptation.”

Luke 22:48 “Judas, are you betraying the

Son of Man with a kiss?”

Luke 22:51 “No more of this!”

Luke 22:52-53 “Am I leading a rebellion,

that you have come with swords and
clubs? 53 Every day I was with you in the
temple courts, and you did not lay a hand
on me. But this is your hour—when
darkness reigns.”

Luke 22:61 “Before the rooster crows

today, you will disown me three times.”

Luke 22:67-69 “If I tell you, you will not

believe me, 68 and if I asked you, you
would not answer. 69 But from now on,
the Son of Man will be seated at the right
hand of the mighty God.”

Luke 22:70 “You say that I am.”

Luke 23:3 “You have said so,”

Luke 23:28-31 “Daughters of Jerusalem,

do not weep for me; weep for yourselves
and for your children. 29 For the time will
come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the
childless women, the wombs that never
bore and the breasts that never nursed!’
30 Then “‘they will say to the mountains,
“Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’
31 For if people do these things when the
tree is green, what will happen when it is
dry?”

Luke 23:34 “Father, forgive them, for

they do not know what they are doing.”
Luke 23:43 “Truly I tell you, today you
will be with me in paradise.”

Luke 23:46 “Father, into your hands I

commit my spirit.”

Luke 24:7 7 ‘The Son of Man must be

delivered over to the hands of sinners, be
crucified and on the third day be raised
again.’

Luke 24:17 “What are you discussing

together as you walk along?”

Luke 24:19 What things?

Luke 24:25-26 “How foolish you are,

and how slow to believe all that the
prophets have spoken! 26 Did not the
Messiah have to suffer these things and
then enter his glory?

Luke 24:36 “Peace be with you.”

Luke 24:38-39 “Why are you troubled,
and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39
Look at my hands and my feet. It is I
myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does
not have flesh and bones, as you see I
have.”

Luke 24:44 “This is what I told you while

I was still with you: Everything must be
fulfilled that is written about me in the
Law of Moses, the Prophets and the
Psalms.”

Luke 24:46-49 “This is what is written:

The Messiah will suffer and rise from the
dead on the third day, 47 and repentance
for the forgiveness of sins will be
preached in his name to all nations,
beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are
witnesses of these things. 49 I am going
to send you what my Father has
promised; but stay in the city until you
have been clothed with power from on
high.”
John 1:38 “What do you want?”

John 1:39 "Come and you will see."

John 1:42 “You are Simon son of John.

You will be called Cephas”

John 1:43 Follow me.

John 1:47 “Here truly is an Israelite in

whom there is no deceit.”

John 1:48 “I saw you while you were still

under the fig tree before Philip called
you.”

John 1:50 “You believe because I told

you I saw you under the fig tree. You will
see greater things than that.”

John 1:51 “Very truly I tell you, you will

see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God
ascending and descending on’ the Son of
Man.”

John 2:4 4 “Woman, why do you involve

me? My hour has not yet come.”

John 2:7 “Fill the jars with water”

John 2:8 “Now draw some out and take it

to the master of the banquet.”

John 2:16 “Get these out of here! Stop

turning my Father’s house into a market!”

John 2:19 “Destroy this temple, and I will

raise it again in three days.”

John 3:3 “Very truly I tell you, no one can

see the kingdom of God unless they are
born again.”

John 3:5-8 “Very truly I tell you, no one

can enter the kingdom of God unless they
are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh
gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives
birth to spirit. 7 You should not be
surprised at my saying, ‘You must be
born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it
pleases. You hear its sound, but you
cannot tell where it comes from or where
it is going. So it is with everyone born of
the Spirit.”

John 3:10-15 10 “You are Israel’s

teacher, and do you not understand these
things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak
of what we know, and we testify to what
we have seen, but still you people do not
accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to
you of earthly things and you do not
believe; how then will you believe if I
speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has
ever gone into heaven except the one
who came from heaven—the Son of Man.
14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the
wilderness, so the Son of Man must be
lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes
may have eternal life in him.”

John 4:7 “Will you give me a drink?”

John 4:10 “If you knew the gift of God

and who it is that asks you for a drink,
you would have asked him and he would
have given you living water.”

John 4:13-14 “Everyone who drinks this

water will be thirsty again, 14 but
whoever drinks the water I give them will
never thirst. Indeed, the water I give
them will become in them a spring of
water welling up to eternal life.”

John 4:16 “Go, call your husband and

come back.”

John 4:17-18 “You are right when you

say you have no husband. 18 The fact is,
you have had five husbands, and the man
you now have is not your husband. What
you have just said is quite true.”

John 4:21-24 21 “Woman,” Jesus replied,

“believe me, a time is coming when you
will worship the Father neither on this
mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You
Samaritans worship what you do not
know; we worship what we do know, for
salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time
is coming and has now come when the
true worshipers will worship the Father in
the Spirit and in truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24
God is spirit, and his worshipers must
worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

John 4:26 “I, the one speaking to you—I

am he.”

John 4:32 “I have food to eat that you

know nothing about.”

John 4:34-38 34 “My food, is to do the

will of him who sent me and to finish his
work. 35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s
still four months until harvest’? I tell you,
open your eyes and look at the fields!
They are ripe for harvest. 36 Even now
the one who reaps draws a wage and
harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the
sower and the reaper may be glad
together. 37 Thus the saying ‘One sows
and another reaps’ is true. 38 I sent you
to reap what you have not worked for.
Others have done the hard work, and you
have reaped the benefits of their labor.”

John 4:48 48 “Unless you people see

signs and wonders, you will never
believe.”

John 4:50 50 “Go, your son will live.”

John 4:53 “Your son will live.”

John 5:6 “Do you want to get well?”

John 5:8 “Get up! Pick up your mat and
walk.”

John 5:11 ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’

John 5:14 “See, you are well again. Stop

sinning or something worse may happen
to you.”

John 5:17 “My Father is always at his

work to this very day, and I too am
working.”

John 5:19-47 “Very truly I tell you, the

Son can do nothing by himself; he can do
only what he sees his Father doing,
because whatever the Father does the
Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the
Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and
he will show him even greater works than
these, so that you will be amazed. 21 For
just as the Father raises the dead and
gives them life, even so the Son gives life
to whom he is pleased to give it. 22
Moreover, the Father judges no one, but
has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23
that all may honor the Son just as they
honor the Father. Whoever does not
honor the Son does not honor the Father,
who sent him. 24 “Very truly I tell you,
whoever hears my word and believes him
who sent me has eternal life and will not
be judged but has crossed over from
death to life. 25 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. 26 For
as the Father has life in himself, so he has
granted the Son also to have life in
himself. 27 And he has given him
authority to judge because he is the Son
of Man. 28 “Do not be amazed at this, for
a time is coming when all who are in their
graves will hear his voice 29 and come
out—those who have done what is good
will rise to live, and those who have done
what is evil will rise to be condemned. 30
By myself I can do nothing; I judge only
as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I
seek not to please myself but him who
sent me. Testimonies About Jesus 31 “If I
testify about myself, my testimony is not
true. 32 There is another who testifies in
my favor, and I know that his testimony
about me is true. 33 “You have sent to
John and he has testified to the truth. 34
Not that I accept human testimony; but I
mention it that you may be saved. 35
John was a lamp that burned and gave
light, and you chose for a time to enjoy
his light. 36 “I have testimony weightier
than that of John. For the works that the
Father has given me to finish—the very
works that I am doing—testify that the
Father has sent me. 37 And the Father
who sent me has himself testified
concerning me. You have never heard his
voice nor seen his form, 38 nor does his
word dwell in you, for you do not believe
the one he sent. 39 You study the
Scriptures diligently because you think
that in them you have eternal life. These
are the very Scriptures that testify about
me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me to
have life. 41 “I do not accept glory from
human beings, 42 but I know you. I know
that you do not have the love of God in
your hearts. 43 I have come in my
Father’s name, and you do not accept
me; but if someone else comes in his own
name, you will accept him. 44 How can
you believe since you accept glory from
one another but do not seek the glory
that comes from the only God? 45 “But do
not think I will accuse you before the
Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom
your hopes are set. 46 If you believed
Moses, you would believe me, for he
wrote about me. 47 But since you do not
believe what he wrote, how are you going
to believe what I say?”
John 6:5 “Where shall we buy bread for
these people to eat?”

John 6:10 “Have the people sit down.”

John 6:12 “Gather the pieces that are

left over. Let nothing be wasted.”

John 6:20 “It is I; don’t be afraid.”

John 6:26-27 “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. 27 Do not
work for food that spoils, but for food that
endures to eternal life, which the Son of
Man will give you. For on him God the
Father has placed his seal of approval.”

John 6:29 “The work of God is this: to

believe in the one he has sent.”
John 6:32-33 “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. 33
For the bread of God is the bread that
comes down from heaven and gives life
to the world.”

John 6:35-40 “I am the bread of life.

Whoever comes to me will never go
hungry, and whoever believes in me will
never be thirsty. 36 But as I told you, you
have seen me and still you do not believe.
37 All those the Father gives me will
come to me, and whoever comes to me I
will never drive away. 38 For I have come
down from heaven not to do my will but
to do the will of him who sent me. 39 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. 40
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.”

John 6:43-51 43 “Stop grumbling among

yourselves,” 44 “No one can come to me
unless the Father who sent me draws
them, and I will raise them up at the last
day. 45 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. 46 No one has seen the
Father except the one who is from God;
only he has seen the Father. 47 Very truly
I tell you, the one who believes has
eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49
Your ancestors ate the manna in the
wilderness, yet they died. 50 But here is
the bread that comes down from heaven,
which anyone may eat and not die. 51 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.”
John 6:53-58 “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. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks
my blood has eternal life, and I will raise
them up at the last day. 55 For my flesh
is real food and my blood is real drink. 56
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my
blood remains in me, and I in them. 57
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. 58
This is the bread that came down from
heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and
died, but whoever feeds on this bread will
live forever.”

John 6:61-64 “Does this offend you? 62

Then what if you see the Son of Man
ascend to where he was before! 63 The
Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for
nothing. The words I have spoken to you
—they are full of the Spirit and life. 64 Yet
there are some of you who do not
believe.”

John 6:65 “This is why I told you that no

one can come to me unless the Father
has enabled them.”

John 6:67 67 “You do not want to leave

too, do you?”

John 6:70 “Have I not chosen you, the

Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”

John 7:6-8 “My time is not yet here; for

you any time will do. 7 The world cannot
hate you, but it hates me because I testify
that its works are evil. 8 You go to the
festival. I am not going up to this festival,
because my time has not yet fully come.”

John 7:16-19 “My teaching is not my

own. It comes from the one who sent me.
17 Anyone who chooses to do the will of
God will find out whether my teaching
comes from God or whether I speak on
my own. 18 Whoever speaks on their own
does so to gain personal glory, but he
who seeks the glory of the one who sent
him is a man of truth; there is nothing
false about him. 19 Has not Moses given
you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the
law. Why are you trying to kill me?”

John 7:21-24 “I did one miracle, and you

are all amazed. 22 Yet, because Moses
gave you circumcision (though actually it
did not come from Moses, but from the
patriarchs), you circumcise a boy on the
Sabbath. 23 Now if a boy can be
circumcised on the Sabbath so that the
law of Moses may not be broken, why are
you angry with me for healing a man’s
whole body on the Sabbath? 24 Stop
judging by mere appearances, but
instead judge correctly.”
John 7:28-29 “Yes, you know me, and
you know where I am from. I am not here
on my own authority, but he who sent me
is true. You do not know him, 29 but I
know him because I am from him and he
sent me.”

John 7:33-34 “I am with you for only a

short time, and then I am going to the
one who sent me. 34 You will look for me,
but you will not find me; and where I am,
you cannot come.”

John 7:36 ‘You will look for me, but you

will not find me,’ ‘Where I am, you cannot
come’

John 7:37-38 “Let anyone who is thirsty

come to me and drink. 38 Whoever
believes in me, as Scripture has said,
rivers of living water will flow from within
them.”
John 8:12 “I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will never walk in
darkness, but will have the light of life.”

John 8:14-18 “Even if I testify on my

own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I
know where I came from and where I am
going. But you have no idea where I come
from or where I am going. 15 You judge
by human standards; I pass judgment on
no one. 16 But if I do judge, my decisions
are true, because I am not alone. I stand
with the Father, who sent me. 17 In your
own Law it is written that the testimony of
two witnesses is true. 18 I am one who
testifies for myself; my other witness is
the Father, who sent me.”

John 8:19 “You do not know me or my

Father,” Jesus replied. “If you knew me,
you would know my Father also.”
John 8:21 “I am going away, and you will
look for me, and you will die in your sin.
Where I go, you cannot come.”

John 8:23-24 “You are from below; I am

from above. You are of this world; I am
not of this world. 24 I told you that you
would die in your sins; if you do not
believe that I am he, you will indeed die
in your sins.”

John 8:25-26 “Just what I have been

telling you from the beginning,” 26 “I
have much to say in judgment of you. But
he who sent me is trustworthy, and what I
have heard from him I tell the world.”

John 8:28-29 “When you have lifted up

the Son of Man, then you will know that I
am he and that I do nothing on my own
but speak just what the Father has taught
me. 29 The one who sent me is with me;
he has not left me alone, for I always do
what pleases him.”

John 8:31-32 “If you hold to my

teaching, you are really my disciples. 32
Then you will know the truth, and the
truth will set you free.”

John 8:34-38 “Very truly I tell you,

everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35
Now a slave has no permanent place in
the family, but a son belongs to it forever.
36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be
free indeed. 37 I know that you are
Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are
looking for a way to kill me, because you
have no room for my word. 38 I am telling
you what I have seen in the Father’s
presence, and you are doing what you
have heard from your father.”

John 8:39-41 “If you were Abraham’s

children, then you would do what
Abraham did. 40 As it is, you are looking
for a way to kill me, a man who has told
you the truth that I heard from God.
Abraham did not do such things. 41 You
are doing the works of your own father.”

John 8:42-47 “If God were your Father,

you would love me, for I have come here
from God. I have not come on my own;
God sent me. 43 Why is my language not
clear to you? Because you are unable to
hear what I say. 44 You belong to your
father, the devil, and you want to carry
out your father’s desires. He was a
murderer from the beginning, not holding
to the truth, for there is no truth in him.
When he lies, he speaks his native
language, for he is a liar and the father of
lies. 45 Yet because I tell the truth, you
do not believe me! 46 Can any of you
prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the
truth, why don’t you believe me? 47
Whoever belongs to God hears what God
says. The reason you do not hear is that
you do not belong to God.”

John 8:49-51 49 “I am not possessed by

a demon, but I honor my Father and you
dishonor me. 50 I am not seeking glory
for myself; but there is one who seeks it,
and he is the judge. 51 Very truly I tell
you, whoever obeys my word will never
see death.”

John 8:54-56 “If I glorify myself, my

glory means nothing. My Father, whom
you claim as your God, is the one who
glorifies me. 55 Though you do not know
him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would
be a liar like you, but I do know him and
obey his word. 56 Your father Abraham
rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day;
he saw it and was glad.”

John 8:58 58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus

answered, “before Abraham was born, I
am!”
John 9:3-5 3 “Neither this man nor his
parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this
happened so that the works of God might
be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day,
we must do the works of him who sent
me. Night is coming, when no one can
work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the
light of the world.”

John 9:7 Go, wash in the pool of Siloam.

John 9:11 7 “Go, wash in the Pool of

Siloam”

John 9:35 “Do you believe in the Son of

Man?”

John 9:37 “You have now seen him; in

fact, he is the one speaking with you.”

John 9:39 “For judgment I have come

into this world, so that the blind will see
and those who see will become blind.”

John 9:41 “If you were blind, you would

not be guilty of sin; but now that you
claim you can see, your guilt remains.

John 10:1-5 “Very truly I tell you

Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the
sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by
some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2
The one who enters by the gate is the
shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper
opens the gate for him, and the sheep
listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep
by name and leads them out. 4 When he
has brought out all his own, he goes on
ahead of them, and his sheep follow him
because they know his voice. 5 But they
will never follow a stranger; in fact, they
will run away from him because they do
not recognize a stranger’s voice.”

John 10:7-18 “Very truly I tell you, I am

the gate for the sheep. 8 All who have
come before me are thieves and robbers,
but the sheep have not listened to them.
9 I am the gate; whoever enters through
me will be saved. They will come in and
go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief
comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I
have come that they may have life, and
have it to the full. 11 “I am the good
shepherd. The good shepherd lays down
his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is
not the shepherd and does not own the
sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming,
he abandons the sheep and runs away.
Then the wolf attacks the flock and
scatters it. 13 The man runs away
because he is a hired hand and cares
nothing for the sheep. 14 “I am the good
shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep
know me— 15 just as the Father knows
me and I know the Father—and I lay down
my life for the sheep. 16 I have other
sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I
must bring them also. They too will listen
to my voice, and there shall be one flock
and one shepherd. 17 The reason my
Father loves me is that I lay down my life
—only to take it up again. 18 No one
takes it from me, but I lay it down of my
own accord. I have authority to lay it
down and authority to take it up again.
This command I received from my
Father.”

John 10:25-30 I did tell you, but you do

not believe. The works I do in my Father’s
name testify about me, 26 but you do not
believe because you are not my sheep.
27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know
them, and they follow me. 28 I give them
eternal life, and they shall never perish;
no one will snatch them out of my hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to me,
is greater than all; no one can snatch
them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and
the Father are one.”
John 10:32 “I have shown you many
good works from the Father. For which of
these do you stone me?”

John 10:34-38 “Is it not written in your

Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”’? 35 If he
called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of
God came—and Scripture cannot be set
aside— 36 what about the one whom the
Father set apart as his very own and sent
into the world? Why then do you accuse
me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am
God’s Son’? 37 Do not believe me unless I
do the works of my Father. 38 But if I do
them, even though you do not believe
me, believe the works, that you may
know and understand that the Father is in
me, and I in the Father.”

John 11:4 “This sickness will not end in

death. No, it is for God’s glory so that
God’s Son may be glorified through it.”
John 11:7 “Let us go back to Judea.”

John 11:9-10 “Are there not twelve

hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in
the daytime will not stumble, for they see
by this world’s light. 10 It is when a
person walks at night that they stumble,
for they have no light.”

John 11:11 “Our friend Lazarus has

fallen asleep; but I am going there to
wake him up.”

John 11:14-15 “Lazarus is dead, 15 and

for your sake I am glad I was not there, so
that you may believe. But let us go to
him.”

John 11:23 “Your brother will rise again.”

John 11:25-26 “I am the resurrection

and the life. The one who believes in me
will live, even though they die; 26 and
whoever lives by believing in me will
never die. Do you believe this?”

John 11:34 34 “Where have you laid

him?”

John 11:39 39 “Take away the stone,”

John 11:40 “Did I not tell you that if you

believe, you will see the glory of God?”

John 11:41-42 “Father, I thank you that

you have heard me. 42 I knew that you
always hear me, but I said this for the
benefit of the people standing here, that
they may believe that you sent me.”

John 11:43 “Lazarus, come out!”

John 11:44 “Take off the grave clothes

and let him go.”
John 12:7-8 7 “Leave her alone, It was
intended that she should save this
perfume for the day of my burial. 8 You
will always have the poor among you, but
you will not always have me.”

John 12:23-28 “The hour has come for

the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Very
truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat
falls to the ground and dies, it remains
only a single seed. But if it dies, it
produces many seeds. 25 Anyone who
loves their life will lose it, while anyone
who hates their life in this world will keep
it for eternal life. 26 Whoever serves me
must follow me; and where I am, my
servant also will be. My Father will honor
the one who serves me. 27 “Now my soul
is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father,
save me from this hour’? No, it was for
this very reason I came to this hour. 28
Father, glorify your name!”
John 12:30-32 “This voice was for your
benefit, not mine. 31 Now is the time for
judgment on this world; now the prince of
this world will be driven out. 32 And I,
when I am lifted up from the earth, will
draw all people to myself.”

John 12:34 ‘The Son of Man must be

lifted up’

John 12:35-36 “You are going to have

the light just a little while longer. Walk
while you have the light, before darkness
overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark
does not know where they are going. 36
Believe in the light while you have the
light, so that you may become children of
light.”

John 12:44-50 “Whoever believes in me

does not believe in me only, but in the
one who sent me. 45 The one who looks
at me is seeing the one who sent me. 46 I
have come into the world as a light, so
that no one who believes in me should
stay in darkness. 47 “If anyone hears my
words but does not keep them, I do not
judge that person. For I did not come to
judge the world, but to save the world. 48
There is a judge for the one who rejects
me and does not accept my words; the
very words I have spoken will condemn
them at the last day. 49 For I did not
speak on my own, but the Father who
sent me commanded me to say all that I
have spoken. 50 I know that his command
leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is
just what the Father has told me to say.”

John 13:7 “You do not realize now what I

am doing, but later you will understand.”

John 13:10 “Those who have had a bath

need only to wash their feet; their whole
body is clean. And you are clean, though
not every one of you.”
John 13:12-20 “Do you understand what
I have done for you?” 13 “You call me
‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for
that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord
and Teacher, have washed your feet, you
also should wash one another’s feet. 15 I
have set you an example that you should
do as I have done for you. 16 Very truly I
tell you, no servant is greater than his
master, nor is a messenger greater than
the one who sent him. 17 Now that you
know these things, you will be blessed if
you do them. 18 “I am not referring to all
of you; I know those I have chosen. But
this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture:
‘He who shared my bread has turned
against me.’ 19 “I am telling you now
before it happens, so that when it does
happen you will believe that I am who I
am. 20 Very truly I tell you, whoever
accepts anyone I send accepts me; and
whoever accepts me accepts the one who
sent me.”

John 13:26 “It is the one to whom I will

give this piece of bread when I have
dipped it in the dish.”

John 13:27 “What you are about to do,

do quickly.”

John 13:31-35 “Now the Son of Man is

glorified and God is glorified in him. 32 If
God is glorified in him, God will glorify the
Son in himself, and will glorify him at
once. 33 “My children, I will be with you
only a little longer. You will look for me,
and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you
now: Where I am going, you cannot come.
34 “A new command I give you: Love one
another. As I have loved you, so you must
love one another. 35 By this everyone will
know that you are my disciples, if you
love one another.”
John 13:36 “Where I am going, you
cannot follow now, but you will follow
later.”

John 13:38 “Will you really lay down

your life for me? Very truly I tell you,
before the rooster crows, you will disown
me three times!

John 14:1-4 “Do not let your hearts be

troubled. You believe in God; believe also
in me. 2 My Father’s house has many
rooms; if that were not so, would I have
told you that I am going there to prepare
a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare
a place for you, I will come back and take
you to be with me that you also may be
where I am. 4 You know the way to the
place where I am going.”

John 14:6-7 “I am the way and the truth

and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me. 7 If you really know
me, you will know my Father as well.
From now on, you do know him and have
seen him.”

John 14:9-21 “Don’t you know me,

Philip, even after I have been among you
such a long time? Anyone who has seen
me has seen the Father. How can you
say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you
believe that I am in the Father, and that
the Father is in me? The words I say to
you I do not speak on my own authority.
Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who
is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I
say that I am in the Father and the Father
is in me; or at least believe on the
evidence of the works themselves. 12
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in
me will do the works I have been doing,
and they will do even greater things than
these, because I am going to the Father.
13 And I will do whatever you ask in my
name, so that the Father may be glorified
in the Son. 14 You may ask me for
anything in my name, and I will do it. 15
“If you love me, keep my commands. 16
And I will ask the Father, and he will give
you another advocate to help you and be
with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth.
The world cannot accept him, because it
neither sees him nor knows him. But you
know him, for he lives with you and will
be in you. 18 I will not leave you as
orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before
long, the world will not see me anymore,
but you will see me. Because I live, you
also will live. 20 On that day you will
realize that I am in my Father, and you
are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever
has my commands and keeps them is the
one who loves me. The one who loves me
will be loved by my Father, and I too will
love them and show myself to them.”

John 14:23-31 “Anyone who loves me

will obey my teaching. My Father will love
them, and we will come to them and
make our home with them. 24 Anyone
who does not love me will not obey my
teaching. These words you hear are not
my own; they belong to the Father who
sent me. 25 “All this I have spoken while
still with you. 26 But the Advocate, the
Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in
my name, will teach you all things and
will remind you of everything I have said
to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my
peace I give you. I do not give to you as
the world gives. Do not let your hearts be
troubled and do not be afraid. 28 “You
heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am
coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you
would be glad that I am going to the
Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29
I have told you now before it happens, so
that when it does happen you will believe.
30 I will not say much more to you, for
the prince of this world is coming. He has
no hold over me, 31 but he comes so that
the world may learn that I love the Father
and do exactly what my Father has
commanded me. “Come now; let us
leave.

John 15:1-27 “I am the true vine, and

my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off
every branch in me that bears no fruit,
while every branch that does bear fruit he
prunes so that it will be even more
fruitful. 3 You are already clean because
of the word I have spoken to you. 4
Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No
branch can bear fruit by itself; it must
remain in the vine. Neither can you bear
fruit unless you remain in me. 5 “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. 6
If you do not remain in me, you are like a
branch that is thrown away and withers;
such branches are picked up, thrown into
the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me
and my words remain in you, ask
whatever you wish, and it will be done for
you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that
you bear much fruit, showing yourselves
to be my disciples. 9 “As the Father has
loved me, so have I loved you. Now
remain in my love. 10 If you keep my
commands, you will remain in my love,
just as I have kept my Father’s
commands and remain in his love. 11 I
have told you this so that my joy may be
in you and that your joy may be
complete. 12 My command is this: Love
each other as I have loved you. 13
Greater love has no one than this: to lay
down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You
are my friends if you do what I command.
15 I no longer call you servants, because
a servant does not know his master’s
business. Instead, I have called you
friends, for everything that I learned from
my Father I have made known to you. 16
You did not choose me, but I chose you
and appointed you so that you might go
and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so
that whatever you ask in my name the
Father will give you. 17 This is my
command: Love each other. 18 “If the
world hates you, keep in mind that it
hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the
world, it would love you as its own. As it
is, you do not belong to the world, but I
have chosen you out of the world. That is
why the world hates you. 20 Remember
what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater
than his master.’ If they persecuted me,
they will persecute you also. If they
obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours
also. 21 They will treat you this way
because of my name, for they do not
know the one who sent me. 22 If I had not
come and spoken to them, they would not
be guilty of sin; but now they have no
excuse for their sin. 23 Whoever hates
me hates my Father as well. 24 If I had
not done among them the works no one
else did, they would not be guilty of sin.
As it is, they have seen, and yet they
have hated both me and my Father. 25
But this is to fulfill what is written in their
Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’ 26
“When the Advocate comes, whom I will
send to you from the Father—the Spirit of
truth who goes out from the Father—he
will testify about me. 27 And you also
must testify, for you have been with me
from the beginning.

John 16:1-16 “All this I have told you so

that you will not fall away. 2 They will put
you out of the synagogue; in fact, the
time is coming when anyone who kills you
will think they are offering a service to
God. 3 They will do such things because
they have not known the Father or me. 4 I
have told you this, so that when their
time comes you will remember that I
warned you about them. I did not tell you
this from the beginning because I was
with you, 5 but now I am going to him
who sent me. None of you asks me,
‘Where are you going?’ 6 Rather, you are
filled with grief because I have said these
things. 7 But very truly I tell you, it is for
your good that I am going away. Unless I
go away, the Advocate will not come to
you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8
When he comes, he will prove the world
to be in the wrong about sin and
righteousness and judgment: 9 about sin,
because people do not believe in me; 10
about righteousness, because I am going
to the Father, where you can see me no
longer; 11 and about judgment, because
the prince of this world now stands
condemned. 12 “I have much more to say
to you, more than you can now bear. 13
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes,
he will guide you into all the truth. He will
not speak on his own; he will speak only
what he hears, and he will tell you what is
yet to come. 14 He will glorify me
because it is from me that he will receive
what he will make known to you. 15 All
that belongs to the Father is mine. That is
why I said the Spirit will receive from me
what he will make known to you. In a little
while you will see me no more, and then
after a little while you will see me.”

John 16:17 ‘In a little while you will see

me no more, and then after a little while
you will see me, Because I am going to
the Father’

John 16:18 ‘a little while’

John 16:19-28 “Are you asking one

another what I meant when I said, ‘In a
little while you will see me no more, and
then after a little while you will see me’?
20 Very truly I tell you, you will weep and
mourn while the world rejoices. You will
grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. 21 A
woman giving birth to a child has pain
because her time has come; but when her
baby is born she forgets the anguish
because of her joy that a child is born into
the world. 22 So with you: Now is your
time of grief, but I will see you again and
you will rejoice, and no one will take away
your joy. 23 In that day you will no longer
ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my
Father will give you whatever you ask in
my name. 24 Until now you have not
asked for anything in my name. Ask and
you will receive, and your joy will be
complete. 25 “Though I have been
speaking figuratively, a time is coming
when I will no longer use this kind of
language but will tell you plainly about
my Father. 26 In that day you will ask in
my name. I am not saying that I will ask
the Father on your behalf. 27 No, the
Father himself loves you because you
have loved me and have believed that I
came from God. 28 I came from the
Father and entered the world; now I am
 leaving the world and going back to the
Father.”

John 16:31-33 31 “Do you now believe?”

32 “A time is coming and in fact has
come when you will be scattered, each to
your own home. You will leave me all
alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is
with me. 33 “I have told you these things,
so that in me you may have peace. In this
world you will have trouble. But take
heart! I have overcome the world.”

John 17:1-26 “Father, the hour has

come. Glorify your Son, that your Son
may glorify you. 2 For you granted him
authority over all people that he might
give eternal life to all those you have
given him. 3 Now this is eternal life: that
they know you, the only true God, and
Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4 I
have brought you glory on earth by
finishing the work you gave me to do. 5
 And now, Father, glorify me in your
presence with the glory I had with you
before the world began. 6 “I have
revealed you to those whom you gave me
out of the world. They were yours; you
gave them to me and they have obeyed
your word. 7 Now they know that
everything you have given me comes
from you. 8 For I gave them the words
you gave me and they accepted them.
They knew with certainty that I came
from you, and they believed that you sent
me. 9 I pray for them. I am not praying for
the world, but for those you have given
me, for they are yours. 10 All I have is
yours, and all you have is mine. And glory
has come to me through them. 11 I will
remain in the world no longer, but they
are still in the world, and I am coming to
you. Holy Father, protect them by the
power of your name, the name you gave
me, so that they may be one as we are
one. 12 While I was with them, I protected
 them and kept them safe by that name
you gave me. None has been lost except
the one doomed to destruction so that
Scripture would be fulfilled. 13 “I am
coming to you now, but I say these things
while I am still in the world, so that they
may have the full measure of my joy
within them. 14 I have given them your
word and the world has hated them, for
they are not of the world any more than I
am of the world. 15 My prayer is not that
you take them out of the world but that
you protect them from the evil one. 16
They are not of the world, even as I am
not of it. 17 Sanctify them by the truth;
your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into
the world, I have sent them into the
world. 19 For them I sanctify myself, that
they too may be truly sanctified. 20 “My
prayer is not for them alone. I pray also
for those who will believe in me through
their message, 21 that all of them may be
one, Father, just as you are in me and I
 am in you. May they also be in us so that
the world may believe that you have sent
me. 22 I have given them the glory that
you gave me, that they may be one as we
are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so
that they may be brought to complete
unity. Then the world will know that you
sent me and have loved them even as
you have loved me. 24 “Father, I want
those you have given me to be with me
where I am, and to see my glory, the
glory you have given me because you
loved me before the creation of the world.
25 “Righteous Father, though the world
does not know you, I know you, and they
know that you have sent me. 26 I have
made you known to them, and will
continue to make you known in order that
the love you have for me may be in them
and that I myself may be in them.”

to the world, I always taught in
synagogues or at the temple, where all
the Jews come together. I said nothing in
secret. 21 Why question me? Ask those
who heard me. Surely they know what I
 said.”

John 18:23 23 “If I said something

wrong, testify as to what is wrong. But if I
spoke the truth, why did you strike me?”

John 18:34 34 “Is that your own idea, or

did others talk to you about me?”

John 18:36 “My kingdom is not of this

world. If it were, my servants would fight
to prevent my arrest by the Jewish
leaders. But now my kingdom is from
another place.”

John 18:37 “You say that I am a king. In

fact, the reason I was born and came into
the world is to testify to the truth.
Everyone on the side of truth listens to
me.”

John 19:11 “You would have no power

over me if it were not given to you from
above. Therefore the one who handed me
over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”

have not seen and yet have believed.”

am the First and the Last. 18 I am the
Living One; I was dead, and now look, I
am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the
keys of death and Hades. 19 “Write,
therefore, what you have seen, what is
now and what will take place later. 20 The
mystery of the seven stars that you saw
in my right hand and of the seven golden
lampstands is this: The seven stars are
the angels of the seven churches, and the
seven lampstands are the seven
churches.
 Revelation 2:1-29 “To the angel of the
church in Ephesus write: These are the
words of him who holds the seven stars in
his right hand and walks among the
seven golden lampstands. 2 I know your
deeds, your hard work and your
perseverance. I know that you cannot
tolerate wicked people, that you have
tested those who claim to be apostles but
are not, and have found them false. 3 You
have persevered and have endured
hardships for my name, and have not
grown weary. 4 Yet I hold this against
you: You have forsaken the love you had
at first. 5 Consider how far you have
fallen! Repent and do the things you did
at first. If you do not repent, I will come to
you and remove your lampstand from its
place. 6 But you have this in your favor:
You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans,
which I also hate. 7 Whoever has ears, let
them hear what the Spirit says to the
 churches. To the one who is victorious, I
will give the right to eat from the tree of
life, which is in the paradise of God. 8 “To
the angel of the church in Smyrna write:
These are the words of him who is the
First and the Last, who died and came to
life again. 9 I know your afflictions and
your poverty—yet you are rich! I know
about the slander of those who say they
are Jews and are not, but are a
synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not be afraid
of what you are about to suffer. I tell you,
the devil will put some of you in prison to
test you, and you will suffer persecution
for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point
of death, and I will give you life as your
victor’s crown. 11 Whoever has ears, let
them hear what the Spirit says to the
churches. The one who is victorious will
not be hurt at all by the second death. 12
“To the angel of the church in Pergamum
write: These are the words of him who
has the sharp, double-edged sword. 13 I
 know where you live—where Satan has
his throne. Yet you remain true to my
name. You did not renounce your faith in
me, not even in the days of Antipas, my
faithful witness, who was put to death in
your city—where Satan lives. 14
Nevertheless, I have a few things against
you: There are some among you who hold
to the teaching of Balaam, who taught
Balak to entice the Israelites to sin so that
they ate food sacrificed to idols and
committed sexual immorality. 15
Likewise, you also have those who hold to
the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 Repent
therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to
you and will fight against them with the
sword of my mouth. 17 Whoever has
ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to
the churches. To the one who is
victorious, I will give some of the hidden
manna. I will also give that person a white
stone with a new name written on it,
known only to the one who receives it. 18
 “To the angel of the church in Thyatira
write: These are the words of the Son of
God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and
whose feet are like burnished bronze. 19 I
know your deeds, your love and faith,
your service and perseverance, and that
you are now doing more than you did at
first. 20 Nevertheless, I have this against
you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel,
who calls herself a prophet. By her
teaching she misleads my servants into
sexual immorality and the eating of food
sacrificed to idols. 21 I have given her
time to repent of her immorality, but she
is unwilling. 22 So I will cast her on a bed
of suffering, and I will make those who
commit adultery with her suffer intensely,
unless they repent of her ways. 23 I will
strike her children dead. Then all the
churches will know that I am he who
searches hearts and minds, and I will
repay each of you according to your
deeds. 24 Now I say to the rest of you in
 Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her
teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-
called deep secrets, ‘I will not impose any
other burden on you, 25 except to hold on
to what you have until I come.’ 26 To the
one who is victorious and does my will to
the end, I will give authority over the
nations— 27 that one ‘will rule them with
an iron scepter and will dash them to
pieces like pottery’ —just as I have
received authority from my Father. 28 I
will also give that one the morning star.
29 Whoever has ears, let them hear what
the Spirit says to the churches.

Revelation 3:1-22 “To the angel of the

church in Sardis write: These are the
words of him who holds the seven spirits
of God and the seven stars. I know your
deeds; you have a reputation of being
alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up!
Strengthen what remains and is about to
die, for I have found your deeds
 unfinished in the sight of my God. 3
Remember, therefore, what you have
received and heard; hold it fast, and
repent. But if you do not wake up, I will
come like a thief, and you will not know at
what time I will come to you. 4 Yet you
have a few people in Sardis who have not
soiled their clothes. They will walk with
me, dressed in white, for they are worthy.
5 The one who is victorious will, like
them, be dressed in white. I will never
blot out the name of that person from the
book of life, but will acknowledge that
name before my Father and his angels. 6
Whoever has ears, let them hear what the
Spirit says to the churches. 7 “To the
angel of the church in Philadelphia write:
These are the words of him who is holy
and true, who holds the key of David.
What he opens no one can shut, and what
he shuts no one can open. 8 I know your
deeds. See, I have placed before you an
open door that no one can shut. I know
that you have little strength, yet you have
kept my word and have not denied my
name. 9 I will make those who are of the
synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews
though they are not, but are liars—I will
make them come and fall down at your
feet and acknowledge that I have loved
you. 10 Since you have kept my
command to endure patiently, I will also
keep you from the hour of trial that is
going to come on the whole world to test
the inhabitants of the earth. 11 I am
coming soon. Hold on to what you have,
so that no one will take your crown. 12
The one who is victorious I will make a
pillar in the temple of my God. Never
again will they leave it. I will write on
them the name of my God and the name
of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem,
which is coming down out of heaven from
my God; and I will also write on them my
new name. 13 Whoever has ears, let
them hear what the Spirit says to the
 churches. 14 “To the angel of the church
in Laodicea write: These are the words of
the Amen, the faithful and true witness,
the ruler of God’s creation. 15 I know your
deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I
wish you were either one or the other! 16
So, because you are lukewarm—neither
hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of
my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have
acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’
But you do not realize that you are
wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.
18 I counsel you to buy from me gold
refined in the fire, so you can become
rich; and white clothes to wear, so you
can cover your shameful nakedness; and
salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
19 Those whom I love I rebuke and
discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice and opens the
door, I will come in and eat with that
person, and they with me. 21 To the one
who is victorious, I will give the right to sit
with me on my throne, just as I was
victorious and sat down with my Father
on his throne. 22 Whoever has ears, let
them hear what the Spirit says to the
churches.”

Revelation 16:15 15 “Look, I come like

a thief! Blessed is the one who stays
awake and remains clothed, so as not to
go naked and be shamefully exposed.”

Revelation 22:7 7 “Look, I am coming

soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the
words of the prophecy written in this
scroll.”

coming soon! My reward is with me, and I
will give to each person according to what
they have done. 13 I am the Alpha and
the Omega, the First and the Last, the
Beginning and the End. 14 “Blessed are
 those who wash their robes, that they
may have the right to the tree of life and
may go through the gates into the city.
15 Outside are the dogs, those who
practice magic arts, the sexually immoral,
the murderers, the idolaters and
everyone who loves and practices
falsehood. 16 “I, Jesus, have sent my
angel to give you this testimony for the
churches. I am the Root and the Offspring
of David, and the bright Morning Star.”

Revelation 22:20 “Yes, I am coming

soon.”
 Although this author has not gone
through and pulled the quotes out,
technically, in Genesis, there is much that
Yeshuah Jesus said. For instance: “Let
there be light.” Genesis 1:3 per John 1:1-3
“In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was
God. The same was in the beginning with
God. All things were made by Him; and
without Him was not any thing made that
was made.” which correlates to
Apocalypse 19:12-13 “12 His eyes are like
blazing fire, and on his head are many
crowns. He has a name written on Him
that no one knows but He Himself. 13 He
is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and
His name is the Word of God.”
