bwe@Matthew:1:18 @ This is the way Jesus Christ was born. Mary, his mother, was promised to Joseph to be his wife. But before they were married, she found out that she was going to have a baby. It was by the Holy Spirit.
bwe@Matthew:1:19 @ Joseph, the man she was to marry, was a good man. He did not want her to be made ashamed. So he planned to leave her without telling people about it.
bwe@Matthew:1:20 @...he had a dream. An angel...
bwe@Matthew:1:21 @ She will have a baby son. Name him Jesus, because he will save his people from the wrong things they have done.
bwe@Matthew:1:23 ...The prophet said, A young...
bwe@Matthew:2:4 @ He called all the chief priests and the scribes of the Jews for a meeting. He asked them, Where is the Christ to be born?
bwe@Matthew:2:6 @...the leaders in Judah. A leader...
bwe@Matthew:2:12 @ In a dream they were told not to go back to Herod. So they went home by a different road.
bwe@Matthew:2:13 @...Joseph had a dream. An angel...
bwe@Matthew:2:18 ...He said, A voice...
bwe@Matthew:2:19 @...Joseph had a dream. An angel...
bwe@Matthew:2:22 @...But he heard that Archelaus was...
bwe@Matthew:2:23 @ He went and made his home in the town of Nazareth. The prophets of God long ago had said, He shall be called a man from Nazareth. What they said came true.
bwe@Matthew:3:3 @...long ago. He said, A man...
bwe@Matthew:3:4 @ John wore clothes made of camels hair and a leather belt. He ate locusts and wild honey.
bwe@Matthew:3:10 @ The axe is ready to cut down the trees. Every tree that does not have good fruit is cut down and thrown into a fire.
bwe@Matthew:3:12 @ He has a cleaning fan in his hand and will fan his grain very clean. He will put the grain into his storehouse. But he will burn the chaff in the fire that never dies.
bwe@Matthew:3:16 @ After Jesus was baptised, he came up out of the water right away. The sky opened. He saw the Spirit of God coming down on him like a dove.
bwe@Matthew:3:17 @ A voice from the sky said, This is my dear Son. I am very pleased with him.
bwe@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the devil took Jesus to the holy city. He put him on a high part of the temple.
bwe@Matthew:4:6 @ The devil said to him, If you are Gods Son, jump down. The holy writings say, "God will tell his angels to take care of you. They will hold you up in their hands so that you will not knock your foot on a stone."
bwe@Matthew:4:8 @ The devil took Jesus to a very high hill. He showed him all the countries of the world and how great they were.
bwe@Matthew:4:16 @ And he said, The people who lived in darkness have seen a great Light. Light has come to those who lived in a land covered by the dark shadow of death.
bwe@Matthew:4:18 @...Peter, and his brother Andrew. They...
bwe@Matthew:5:1 @ When Jesus saw the many people, he went up on a hill. He sat down and his disciples came to him.
bwe@Matthew:5:14 @...light in the world. A city...
bwe@Matthew:5:15 @ So also with a lamp. People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket. But they put it on the place for a lamp. Then all the people in the house can see its light.
bwe@Matthew:5:19 @ So anyone who does not obey one of the smallest laws, and teaches other people not to obey it, will have the smallest part in the kingdom of heaven. But any one who obeys and teaches the law, will have a big part in the kingdom of heaven.
bwe@Matthew:5:22 @...in the big court. Anyone who...
bwe@Matthew:5:28 @ But I tell you that if a man looks at a woman and he wants her, then he has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
bwe@Matthew:5:29 @ If your right eye makes you do wrong, take it out and throw it away. It is better to lose a part of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
bwe@Matthew:5:30 @ If your right hand makes you do wrong, cut it off and throw it away. It is better to lose a part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell fire.
bwe@Matthew:5:31 @ The law said, "Any man who does not want to keep his wife must give her a paper to tell others she is no longer his wife."
bwe@Matthew:5:32 @...making her commit adultery. And if...
bwe@Matthew:5:33 @...name and break it." And, "You...
bwe@Matthew:5:34 @ But I tell you, do not make a promise in Gods name. Do not use the name of heaven, because that is where God rules.
bwe@Matthew:5:36 @ Do not make a promise by your head, because you cannot make one hair of your head white or black.
bwe@Matthew:5:38 @ You have heard that the law says, "Take an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth."
bwe@Matthew:5:41 @ If anyone wants you to help carry a load, go with him twice as far.
bwe@Matthew:6:16 @ When you are fasting <FI>not eating food for a time<Fi>, do not look sad. That is what people do who are not true to themselves. They look sad to show people they are fasting. I tell you the truth. They have their reward already.
bwe@Matthew:6:29 @ I tell you, King Solomon was a great man. But he was not dressed as fine as one of these flowers.
bwe@Matthew:7:3 @ Why do you look at the spot of dust in your brothers eye? But you do not see a big stick in your own eye!
bwe@Matthew:7:9 @ If your son asks for bread, will any of you give him a stone?
bwe@Matthew:7:10 @ Or if he asks for a fish, will you give him a snake?
bwe@Matthew:7:17 @ In the same way, every good tree has good fruit. But a bad tree has bad fruit.
bwe@Matthew:7:18 @ A good tree cannot have bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot have good fruit.
bwe@Matthew:7:19 @ Every tree that does not have good fruit is cut down and thrown into a fire.
bwe@Matthew:7:24 @ Everyone who hears what I say and obeys me will be like a man who has good sense. He built his house on a rock.
bwe@Matthew:7:25 @ It rained hard. The water in the rivers came up high. The winds were strong and beat on the house. But it did not fall down. It was built on a rock.
bwe@Matthew:7:26 @ But everyone who hears what I say and does not obey me, will be like a man who has no sense. He built his house on the sand.
bwe@Matthew:7:27 @ It rained hard. The water in the rivers came up high. The winds were strong and beat on the house. It fell down with a loud noise!
bwe@Matthew:8:2 @ A man who had leprosy <FI>a bad skin disease<Fi> came and kneeled in front of Jesus and worshipped him. He said to Jesus, Sir, I know you can heal me if you want to.
bwe@Matthew:8:4 @ Jesus said to him, Do not tell anyone about this. But go and let the priest look at you. Moses gave a law about the sacrifice you must give when you are healed. Give it, to prove to people you are healed.
bwe@Matthew:8:5 @ When Jesus came to the town of Capernaum, a Roman army officer came to ask him for help.
bwe@Matthew:8:9 @ I myself am a man who takes orders, and I have soldiers who take orders from me. I say to one, "Go," and he goes. I say to another one, "Come," and he comes. I say to my servant, "Do this," and he does it.
bwe@Matthew:8:19 @ A scribe came and said to him, Teacher, I will go anywhere you go.
bwe@Matthew:8:21 @ Another man who was a follower of Jesus, said to Jesus, Lord, let me go first and bury my father.
bwe@Matthew:8:24 @ A bad storm came on the sea. The waves were high. Water came into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.
bwe@Matthew:8:30 @ Many pigs were eating in a place far from them.
bwe@Matthew:9:2 @ Some men brought a sick man to him. The man could not move his arms or legs. He was lying on a bed. Jesus saw that they believed he would be healed. So he said to the sick man, My son, be glad! The wrong things you have done are forgiven.
bwe@Matthew:9:9 @ Jesus went on from there. He saw a man named Matthew. He was sitting at the place where people came to pay taxes. Jesus said to him, Come with me. Matthew stood up and went with him.
bwe@Matthew:9:10 @ Jesus was eating in a house. Many tax collectors and bad people came in. They sat down to eat with Jesus and his disciples.
bwe@Matthew:9:12 @ Jesus heard it. He said to them, People who are well do not need a doctor. But sick people need him.
bwe@Matthew:9:13 @ Go and learn what this means: "I want you to be kind. I do not want a sacrifice." I did not come to call good people. I came to call bad people to stop doing wrong things.
bwe@Matthew:9:15 @ Jesus answered, The people at a wedding cannot be sad while the man who is married is with them. But the time will come when he will be taken away from them. Then they will not eat.
bwe@Matthew:9:16 @ No one sews a piece of new cloth on an old coat. If he does, the new cloth will tear the old coat. Then the hole is bigger than it was before.
bwe@Matthew:9:18 @ While Jesus was telling them these things, a ruler came to him. He bowed down in front of Jesus to worship him and said, My daughter has just died. But if you will come and put your hand on her, she will live.
bwe@Matthew:9:20 @ A woman had a sickness for twelve years. She was bleeding all the time. She came behind Jesus and touched his clothes.
bwe@Matthew:9:23 @ When Jesus came to the rulers house, he saw the music players and people making a noise.
bwe@Matthew:9:32 @ As they were leaving, people brought a man to Jesus. This man could not talk He had a bad spirit in him.
bwe@Matthew:10:10 @ Do not take a bag with you, and do not take two shirts, shoes, or a walking stick. The one who does the work should be given his food.
bwe@Matthew:10:12 @ When you go into the house, greet the family with a blessing.
bwe@Matthew:10:21 @...brother to be killed. A father...
bwe@Matthew:10:29 @ Are not two sparrows worth only a small amount of money? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father knowing about it.
bwe@Matthew:10:35 @ I came to take away peace between a man and his father. I came to take away peace between a daughter and her mother. I came to take away peace between a mans wife and his mother.
bwe@Matthew:10:36 @ A man will have people in his own family who make trouble for him.
bwe@Matthew:10:41 @ Anyone who takes in a prophet because he is a prophet of God will get a prophets reward.
bwe@Matthew:10:42 @ And if any one as a disciple gives a drink of cold water to one of my children, he will not lose his reward. I tell you the truth.
bwe@Matthew:11:7 @ When Johns disciples went away, Jesus began to talk to people about John. He said, What did you go out into the wilderness to see? Did you go out to see a tall grass moved by the wind?
bwe@Matthew:11:8 @...go out to see? A man...
bwe@Matthew:11:9 @ Why did you go out? To see a prophet of God? Yes, I tell you, and he is much more than a prophet.
bwe@Matthew:11:18 @ John came. He does not eat or drink much. People say, "He has a bad spirit in him!"
bwe@Matthew:11:19 @ The Son of Man came. He eats and drinks. People say, "This man eats and drinks too much! He is a friend with tax collectors and bad people!" But a man is proved to be wise by what he has done.
bwe@Matthew:12:1 @ About that time, Jesus was walking through the grain fields on a Sabbath day. His disciples were hungry. They began to pick some of the grain and to eat it.
bwe@Matthew:12:7 @ You do not know what this means, "I want you to be kind; I do not want a sacrifice." If you knew, then you would not have said what they did was wrong. What they did was not wrong.
bwe@Matthew:12:10 @ There was a man whose hand was thin and weak. The people asked Jesus, Is it right to heal a man on the Sabbath day? They wanted to find something wrong about Jesus.
bwe@Matthew:12:11 @ Jesus said to them, If one of you had a sheep and it fell into a hole on the Sabbath day, would you not take hold of it and pull it out?
bwe@Matthew:12:12 @ A man is worth much more than a sheep. So it is right to do good things on the Sabbath day.
bwe@Matthew:12:20 @ He will not break a stick that is already bent. He will not put out a light that burns only a little. What is right will win, because he will make it win.
bwe@Matthew:12:22 @ Then the people brought a man to Jesus. The man had a bad spirit in him. He was blind and could not talk. Jesus healed him. Then the man could talk and see.
bwe@Matthew:12:29 @ If anyone wants to go into a strong mans house and steal his things, he must first tie the strong man. Then he can steal his things.
bwe@Matthew:12:33 @ Either make a tree good and its fruit good, or make a tree bad and its fruit bad. People know what kind of tree it is by the fruit on it.
bwe@Matthew:12:35 @...will say good things. A bad...
bwe@Matthew:12:38 @ Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, Teacher, we want you to show us a sign.
bwe@Matthew:12:39 @ But Jesus answered them, The people today are bad. They have gone away from God. They want a sign. No sign will be given them but the sign of the prophet Jonah.
bwe@Matthew:12:42 @...wise talk of Solomon. And the...
bwe@Matthew:12:43 @ When a bad spirit has gone out of a man, he goes through dry places. He looks for a place to rest, but he does not find any.
bwe@Matthew:13:2 @...boat and sat down. All the...
bwe@Matthew:13:3 @ He taught the people many things by telling them stories. He said, Listen, a man went out to sow some seed.
bwe@Matthew:13:8 @...seeds. Some gave sixty. And some...
bwe@Matthew:13:20 @ Some seed fell on the stony ground. That is like a person who hears the message and right away he is glad to hear it.
bwe@Matthew:13:21 @ But it does not go down deep in his heart. He believes it for a short time. When trouble or a hard time comes because of the message, he stops believing.
bwe@Matthew:13:23 @ Some seed fell on good ground. That is like a person who hears the message and understands it. Much good comes from it. Some people are like the seed that gave a hundred more seeds. Some people are like the seed that gave sixty. Some people are like the seed that gave thirty.
bwe@Matthew:13:24 @...heaven is like this. A man...
bwe@Matthew:13:25 @ While people were sleeping, a bad man came and sowed weeds among the good seed. Then he went away.
bwe@Matthew:13:31 @...heaven is like this. A man...
bwe@Matthew:13:32 @ A mustard seed is the smallest of all seeds. But the plant that grows from it is bigger than other plants. It is like a tree. It is so big that birds come and live in the branches.
bwe@Matthew:13:33 @...heaven is like this. A woman...
bwe@Matthew:13:34 @ Jesus told the people all these things in stories. He did not tell them anything without a story.
bwe@Matthew:13:40 @ The weeds are gathered and burned in a fire. That is the way it will be at the end of the world.
bwe@Matthew:13:42 @ They will put them into the big fire. There they will cry and make a noise with their teeth.
bwe@Matthew:13:44 @...in a field. A man...
bwe@Matthew:13:45 @...heaven is like this. A trader...
bwe@Matthew:13:46 @ He found a pearl that was worth a lot of money. Then he went and sold everything he had and bought it.
bwe@Matthew:13:47 @...heaven is like this. A fish...
bwe@Matthew:13:50 @ They will put the bad people into the never-ending hell fire. There they will cry and make a noise with their teeth.
bwe@Matthew:13:52 @ Then Jesus said to them, So anyone who knows the law and has learned about the kingdom of heaven, is like the headman of a house. He can bring both new things and old things out of what he has stored up.
bwe@Matthew:13:57 @ They did not understand Jesus. Jesus said to them, Other people honour a man who is a prophet. But the people in his own country and home do not honour him.
bwe@Matthew:14:5 @ Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of the people. They thought John was a prophet, a man of God.
bwe@Matthew:14:8 @ The girls mother told her what to ask for. So she said, Give me here, on a plate, the head of John the Baptizer.
bwe@Matthew:14:9 @...had made a promise. And all...
bwe@Matthew:14:11 @...given to the girl. And she...
bwe@Matthew:14:13 @ When Jesus heard this, he went away from there in a boat. He went to a lonely place by himself. The people heard that he went away and they followed him. They walked from the towns around there.
bwe@Matthew:14:15 @...is a lonely place. And the...
bwe@Matthew:14:26 @ His disciples saw him walking on the water. They were afraid, and said, It is a spirit! Then they shouted loudly because they were afraid.
bwe@Matthew:15:11 @ What goes into a persons mouth does not make him dirty. But what comes out of a persons mouth makes him dirty.
bwe@Matthew:15:14 @ Leave them alone. They are blind men who are trying to lead blind men. If a blind man leads a blind man, they will both fall into a hole.
bwe@Matthew:15:18 @ But what comes out of the mouth, comes from the heart. This is what makes a person dirty.
bwe@Matthew:15:20 @ These things make a person dirty. To eat with hands that are not washed does not make him dirty.
bwe@Matthew:15:21 @ Jesus left that place and went to the country of Tyre and Sidon. 22A woman of the people of Canaan was in that country. She called out, Sir, you are the Son of David. Help me! My daughter is being troubled very much by a bad spirit.
bwe@Matthew:15:28 @ Jesus went on from there along the Sea of Galilee. He went up on a hill and sat down there.
bwe@Matthew:15:33 @ Jesus said to them, How many loaves of bread have you? They said, We have seven, and a few small fish.
bwe@Matthew:16:1 @ The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus. They wanted to test him, so they asked him to show them a sign from the sky.
bwe@Matthew:16:2 @ He answered them, In the evening you say, "It will be a nice day tomorrow because the sky is red."
bwe@Matthew:16:3 @ In the morning you say, "It will be a stormy day, because the sky is red and there are clouds." You know the meaning of these signs in the sky. But you do not know the meaning of the signs about the time in which we are living.
bwe@Matthew:16:4 @ People today are wrong. They have gone away from God. They want a sign. No sign will be given them but the sign of Jonah. Then Jesus went away and left them.
bwe@Matthew:16:26 @ What good will it do a man if he gets the whole world for himself, but loses his life? What can a person give to get back his life?
bwe@Matthew:17:1 @ Six days after this, Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John with him. He led them up a hill by themselves.
bwe@Matthew:17:4 @ Peter said to Jesus, Lord, this is a good place for us. If you want, we will make three places here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
bwe@Matthew:17:5 @...cloud came over them. A voice...
bwe@Matthew:17:14 @...came to the people. A man...
bwe@Matthew:17:15 @...Sir, help my son. A bad...
bwe@Matthew:17:20 @...over to that place!" And it...
bwe@Matthew:17:21 @ But this kind of bad spirit does not come out of a person unless people ask God and fast <FI>do not eat food for a time<Fi>.
bwe@Matthew:17:26 @ Peter said, From other people. Jesus said, Then the sons do not pay a tax.
bwe@Matthew:17:27 @ But we must not make them think something wrong about us. So go to the sea. Throw a fish-hook into the water. Take the first fish you catch. Open its mouth and you will see a piece of money. Take it and pay them the tax for you and me.
bwe@Matthew:18:2 @ Jesus called a child to him. He had the child stand in front of them.
bwe@Matthew:18:5 @ If anyone takes in a child like this for my sake, he takes in me.
bwe@Matthew:18:6 @ These little children believe in me. If anyone makes one of them do wrong, he will be punished. He will have worse trouble than if a big stone were tied to his neck and he were thrown into the deep sea.
bwe@Matthew:18:12 @...you think about this? A man...-nine sheep on the hills and go to look for the one that is lost? Yes, he will.
bwe@Matthew:18:15 @ If your brother does something wrong to you, go to him. Talk alone to him and tell him what he has done. If he listens to you, you have kept your brother as a friend.
bwe@Matthew:18:17 @ If he does not listen to them, tell the church. If he does not listen to the church, treat him as one who does not believe in God and as bad as a tax collector.
bwe@Matthew:18:23 @...heaven is like this. A king...
bwe@Matthew:18:24 @ The first servant was brought in. He owed the king a very large sum of money.
bwe@Matthew:18:28 @ That same servant went out and met another servant. This man owed him a much smaller sum of money. He caught him by the throat and said, Pay me what you owe me!"
bwe@Matthew:19:3 @ The Pharisees came to Jesus to test him. They asked, Is it right for a man to send his wife away from him for any reason?
bwe@Matthew:19:4 @ Jesus answered, Have you not read this? From the time God first made people, he made them a man and a woman.
bwe@Matthew:19:7 @ They said to Jesus, Then why did Moses make this law? He said that a man may give his wife a paper to show that he does not want her any more. Then he may send her away.
bwe@Matthew:19:9 @...woman, he commits adultery. And if...
bwe@Matthew:19:10 @ The disciples said to him, If a man and woman are like that, then it is better not to marry.
bwe@Matthew:19:16 @ A man came to Jesus and said, Teacher, what good thing must I do so that I will live for ever?
bwe@Matthew:19:23 @ Then Jesus said to his disciples, I tell you the truth. It is very hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
bwe@Matthew:19:24 @ And I tell you this also. It is easier for a big animal like a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
bwe@Matthew:19:28 @ Jesus said to them, I tell you the truth. In the new world, the Son of Man will be great. He will sit on his throne of glory <FI>big chair of a king<Fi> to rule. Then you who have come with me will also sit on twelve thrones. You will judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
bwe@Matthew:19:29 @...as he has left. And he...
bwe@Matthew:20:1 @...heaven is like this. A man...
bwe@Matthew:20:2 @ He agreed to pay them a days wages and sent them out to his farm.
bwe@Matthew:20:9 @ Each of the men who started work at five oclock was paid a days wages.
bwe@Matthew:20:10 @ Those who started work first thought they would get more than that. But they also were paid a days wages.
bwe@Matthew:20:13 @ But he said to one of them, "My friend, I am not doing any wrong to you. You agreed that I should pay you a days wages. Did you not?
bwe@Matthew:20:15 @ It is my own money. Can I not do with it as I like? Do you think it is a wrong thing for me to be kind?"
bwe@Matthew:20:19 @ They will give him over to rulers who are not Jews. They will make fun of him. They will beat him and nail him to a cross. On the third day, he will be raised.
bwe@Matthew:20:27 @ Anyone among you who wants to be first will be a servant to the others.
bwe@Matthew:21:2 @...in front of you. As soon...
bwe@Matthew:21:5 @ He said, Tell the people of Zion: See, your king is coming to you. He is not proud. He rides a donkey. It is a young animal.
bwe@Matthew:21:11 @ The people who were with Jesus said, This is Jesus from the town of Nazareth in Galilee. He is a prophet.
bwe@Matthew:21:13 @ He said to them, The holy writings say, "My house shall be called a house where people talk with God." But you have made it a place for people who steal!
bwe@Matthew:21:19 @ Along the road he saw a fig tree. He went to the tree. There was no fruit on it, only leaves. He said to the tree, No fruit will ever grow on you again! Right away the tree died.
bwe@Matthew:21:24 @ Jesus answered them, I will ask you a question also. If you answer me, I will answer you. I will tell you what right I have to do these things.
bwe@Matthew:21:26 @ But if we say, "Men gave him the right to do it," we have the people to fear, because all the people say that John was a prophet.
bwe@Matthew:21:28 @...you think about this? A man...
bwe@Matthew:21:33 @...Listen to another story. A man...
bwe@Matthew:21:46 @ They wanted to catch him, but they feared the people. The people thought Jesus was a prophet.
bwe@Matthew:22:2 @...heaven is like this. A king...
bwe@Matthew:22:11 @ The king came in to look at the people. He saw one man there who was not wearing the right clothes for a wedding.
bwe@Matthew:22:12 @ The king said to him, "My friend, why did you come here without putting on the right clothes for a wedding?" The man did not answer.
bwe@Matthew:22:13 @ Then the king said to his servants, "Tie his hands and his feet. Put him in a dark place outside. People there will cry and grind <FI>make a noise with<Fi> their teeth."
bwe@Matthew:22:14 @ Many people are asked to come, but only a few are chosen.
bwe@Matthew:22:19 @ Show me a piece of money used for tax. They brought him a piece of money.
bwe@Matthew:22:24 @ They came to ask him a question. They said, Teacher, Moses gave us this law: "If a man dies and has no children, then his brother must marry the wife and raise a family for his brother."
bwe@Matthew:22:35 @ One of them was a man who taught Gods law. He asked Jesus a question to try him out.
bwe@Matthew:22:41 @ While the Pharisees were still there, Jesus asked them a question.
bwe@Matthew:22:46 @...answer him a word. And after...
bwe@Matthew:23:14 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You take away the homes of women whose husbands are dead. You cover up your wrong ways by talking big to God for a long time. Because of that, you will be punished harder.
bwe@Matthew:23:16 @ You blind leaders will have trouble. You say that if anyone makes a promise in the name of the temple, he does not have to keep that promise. But if anyone makes a promise in the name of the gold on the temple, he must keep that promise.
bwe@Matthew:23:18 @ And you say that if anyone makes a promise in the name of Gods altar, he does not have to keep that promise. But if anyone makes a promise in the name of the sacrifice, he must keep that promise.
bwe@Matthew:23:20 @ So if anyone makes a promise by Gods altar, he makes his promise by it and by all that is on it.
bwe@Matthew:23:21 @ If anyone makes a promise by the temple, he makes his promise by the temple and by God who lives in the temple.
bwe@Matthew:23:22 @ If anyone makes a promise by heaven, he makes his promise by Gods big chair called a throne and by God who sits on the throne.
bwe@Matthew:23:23 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You give God a tenth part of small garden plants. But you have not done those bigger matters of the law. You have not judged in the right way. You have not been kind. You have not believed God. You should be doing these things and the other things too.
bwe@Matthew:23:24 @ You blind leaders! You take a fly out of your cup, but you drink down a big animal like a camel!
bwe@Matthew:23:25 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You wash the outside of a cup and a dish clean. But inside they are full of greed and wrong ways!

bwe@Matthew:23:35 @...from the time of Abel, who...
bwe@Matthew:23:37 @ Jerusalem! Jerusalem! You kill the prophets. You throw stones to kill the men who are sent to you! How often I have wanted to gather your people together, as a mother hen gathers her little ones under her wings. But you would not come!

bwe@Matthew:24:38 @ In the days before the water covered the earth, people ate and drank. They married and gave their daughters to be married. Then one day Noah went into his house built on a boat.
bwe@Matthew:24:43 @ And remember this. The owner of the house does not know at what time of the night a man will come to steal something. If he knew, he would watch and not let the man break into his house.

bwe@Matthew:24:45 @ Who is like a wise servant who can be trusted? His master will put him in charge of his other servants. He gives them their food at the right time.

bwe@Matthew:24:51 @ The master will punish him and lock him in with people who are not true. People there will cry and grind <FI>make a noise with<Fi> their teeth.
bwe@Matthew:25:1 @ Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten young women took their lamps and went to meet a man who was being married.
bwe@Matthew:25:5 @ It was a long time before the man came, so they all went to sleep.
bwe@Matthew:25:6 @ At midnight there was a call, "Here comes the man who is to be married! Come out to meet him."

bwe@Matthew:25:18 @...hole in the ground. And he...
bwe@Matthew:25:19 @ After a long time, the master of those servants came home. He asked what they had done with his money.
bwe@Matthew:25:21 @ His master said, "You have done well. You are a good servant. I can trust you. You have taken good care of a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Come, have a good time with your master."
bwe@Matthew:25:23 @ His master said, "You have done well. You are a good servant. I can trust you. You have taken good care of a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Come, have a good time with your master."
bwe@Matthew:25:24 @ The servant who had been given one bag of money came and said, "Sir, I knew that you were a hard man. You cut grain where you did not plant. You pick fruit where you put nothing in.

bwe@Matthew:25:35 @ I was hungry. You gave me food. I was thirsty. You gave me a drink. I was a stranger. You took me in.
bwe@Matthew:25:37 @ Then the good people will ask him, "Lord when did we see you hungry and give you food? When did we see you thirsty and give you a drink?
bwe@Matthew:25:38 @ When did we see you a stranger and take you in? When did we see you needing clothes and give you clothes?
bwe@Matthew:25:42 @ I was hungry. You did not give me food. I was thirsty. You did not give me a drink.
bwe@Matthew:25:43 @ I was a stranger. You did not take me in. I needed clothes. You did not give me any clothes. I was sick and in prison. You did not come to see me."

bwe@Matthew:26:30 @ They sang a song and then went out to the hill called the Mount of Olives.
bwe@Matthew:26:36 @ Then Jesus came to a place called Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, Sit down here. I will go over there and talk with God.
bwe@Matthew:26:39 @ Jesus went on a little further. He bowed down with his face to the ground. He talked to God and said, My Father, if it can be, let this cup of trouble pass by me. But do not do what I want. May what you want be done.
bwe@Matthew:26:41 @...will not do wrong. A persons...
bwe@Matthew:26:48 @ The man who was going to help them catch Jesus had told them that he would give them a sign. He said, The man that I kiss is the one. Catch him and hold him.
