@ DESCRIPTION: The Translation of the New Testament offered to English-speaking Christians is a bona fide translation made directly from the Greek, and is in no sense a revision.
wmth@Matthew:1:2 @ Abraham was the father of Isaac; Isaac of Jacob; Jacob of Judah and his brothers.
wmth@Matthew:1:3 @ Judah was the father (by Tamar) of Perez and Zerah; Perez of Hezron; Hezron of Ram;
wmth@Matthew:1:11 @ Josiah of Jeconiah and his brothers at the period of the Removal to Babylon.
wmth@Matthew:1:16 @ and Jacob of Joseph the husband of Mary, who was the mother of JESUS who is called CHRIST.
wmth@Matthew:1:17 @ There are therefore, in all, fourteen generations from Abraham to David; fourteen from David to the Removal to Babylon; and fourteen from the Removal to Babylon to the Christ.
wmth@Matthew:1:19 @ But Joseph her husband, being a kind-hearted man and unwilling publicly to disgrace her, had determined to release her privately from the betrothal.
wmth@Matthew:1:20 @ But while he was contemplating this step, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, »Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to bring home your wife Mary, for she is with child through the Holy Spirit.
wmth@Matthew:1:21 @ She will give birth to a Son, and you are to call His name JESUS for He it is who will save His People from their sins.«
wmth@Matthew:1:24 @ When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded, and brought home his wife,
wmth@Matthew:2:2 @ inquiring, »Where is the newly born king of the Jews? For we have seen his Star in the east, and have come here to do him homage.«
wmth@Matthew:2:3 @ Reports of this soon reached the king, and greatly agitated not only him but all the people of Jerusalem.
wmth@Matthew:2:4 @ So he assembled all the High Priests and Scribes of the people, and anxiously asked them where the Christ was to be born.
wmth@Matthew:2:5 @ »At Bethlehem in Judaea,« they replied; »for so it stands written in the words of the Prophet,
wmth@Matthew:2:7 @ Thereupon Herod sent privately for the Magi and ascertained from them the exact time of the star's appearing.
wmth@Matthew:2:8 @ He then directed them to go to Bethlehem, adding, »Go and make careful inquiry about the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and do him homage.«
wmth@Matthew:2:9 @ After hearing what the king said, they went to Bethlehem, while, strange to say, the star they had seen in the east led them on until it came and stood over the place where the babe was.
wmth@Matthew:2:11 @ So they entered the house; and when they saw the babe with His mother Mary, they prostrated themselves and did Him homage, and opening their treasure-chests offered gifts to Him–gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
wmth@Matthew:2:13 @ When they were gone, and angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, »Rise: take the babe and His mother and escape to Egypt, and remain there till I bring you word. For Herod is about to make search for the child in order to destroy Him.«
wmth@Matthew:2:14 @ So Joseph roused himself and took the babe and His mother by night and departed into Egypt.
wmth@Matthew:2:16 @ Then Herod, finding that the Magi had trifled with him, was furious, and sent and massacred all the boys under two years of age, in Bethlehem and all its neighbourhood, according to the date he had so carefully ascertained from the Magi.
wmth@Matthew:2:19 @ But after Herod's death an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, and said to him,
wmth@Matthew:2:20 @ »Rise from sleep, and take the child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child's life are dead.«
wmth@Matthew:2:21 @ So he roused himself and took the child and His mother and came into the land of Israel.
wmth@Matthew:2:22 @ But hearing that Archelaus had succeeded his father Herod on the throne of Judaea, he was afraid to go there; and being instructed by God in a dream he withdrew into Galilee,
wmth@Matthew:2:23 @ and went and settled in a town called Nazareth, in order that these words spoken through the Prophets might be fulfilled,
wmth@Matthew:3:2 @ »Repent,« he said, »for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand.«
wmth@Matthew:3:4 @ This man John wore a garment of camel's hair, and a loincloth of leather; and he lived upon locusts and wild honey.
wmth@Matthew:3:5 @ Then large numbers of people went out to him –people from Jerusalem and from all Judaea, and from the whole of the Jordan valley–
wmth@Matthew:3:6 @ and were baptized by him in the Jordan, making full confession of their sins.
wmth@Matthew:3:7 @ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he exclaimed, `O vipers' brood, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
wmth@Matthew:3:9 @ and do not imagine that you can say to yourselves, `We have Abraham as our forefather,' for I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones.
wmth@Matthew:3:10 @ And already the axe is lying at the root of the trees, so that every tree which does not produce good fruit will quickly be hewn down and thrown into the fire.
wmth@Matthew:3:11 @ I indeed am baptizing you in water on a profession of repentance; but He who is coming after me is mightier than I: His sandals I am not worthy to carry for a moment; He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
wmth@Matthew:3:12 @ His winnowing-shovel is in His hand, and He will make a thorough clearance of His threshing-floor, gathering His wheat into the storehouse, but burning up the chaff in unquenchable fire.«
wmth@Matthew:3:14 @ John protested. »It is I,« he said, »who have need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?«
wmth@Matthew:3:16 @ and Jesus was baptized, and immediately went up from the water. At that moment the heavens opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him,
wmth@Matthew:4:2 @ There He fasted for forty days and nights; and after that He suffered from hunger.
wmth@Matthew:4:3 @ So the Tempter came and said, »If you are the Son of God, command these stones to turn into loaves.«
wmth@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the Devil took Him to the Holy City and caused Him to stand on the roof of the Temple,
wmth@Matthew:4:6 @ and said, »If you are God's Son, throw yourself down; for it is written,
wmth@Matthew:4:8 @ Then the Devil took Him to the top of an exceedingly lofty mountain, from which he caused Him to see all the Kingdoms of the world and their splendour,
wmth@Matthew:4:9 @ and said to Him, »All this I will give you, if you will kneel down and do me homage.«
wmth@Matthew:4:11 @ Thereupon the Devil left Him, and angels at once came and ministered to Him.
wmth@Matthew:4:13 @ and leaving Nazareth He went and settled at Capernaum, a town by the Lake on the frontiers of Zebulun and Naphtali,
wmth@Matthew:4:17 @ From that time Jesus began to preach. »Repent,« He said, »for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand.«
wmth@Matthew:4:18 @ And walking along the shore of the Lake of Galilee He saw two brothers –Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew– throwing a drag-net into the Lake; for they were fishers.
wmth@Matthew:4:19 @ And He said to them, »Come and follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.«
wmth@Matthew:4:20 @ So they immediately left their nets and followed Him. As He went further on,
wmth@Matthew:4:21 @ He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zabdi and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zabdi mending their nets; and He called them.
wmth@Matthew:4:22 @ And they at once left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
wmth@Matthew:4:23 @ Then Jesus travelled through all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity among the people.
wmth@Matthew:4:24 @ Thus His fame spread through all Syria; and they brought all the sick to Him, the people who were suffering from various diseases and pains–demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He cured them.
wmth@Matthew:4:25 @ And great crowds followed Him, coming from Galilee, from the Ten Towns, from Jerusalem, and from beyond the district on the other side of the Jordan.
wmth@Matthew:5:1 @ Seeing the multitude of people, Jesus went up the Hill. There He seated Himself, and when His disciples came to Him,
wmth@Matthew:5:2 @ He proceeded to teach them, and said:
wmth@Matthew:5:6 @ »Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be completely satisfied.«
wmth@Matthew:5:11 @ »Blessed are you when they have insulted and persecuted you, and have said every cruel thing about you falsely for my sake.
wmth@Matthew:5:12 @ Be joyful and triumphant, because your reward is great in the Heavens; for so were the Prophets before you persecuted.«
wmth@Matthew:5:13 @ are the salt of the earth; but if salt has become tasteless, in what way can it regain its saltness? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown away and trodden on by the passers by.
wmth@Matthew:5:15 @ Nor is a lamp lighted to be put under a bushel, but on the lampstand; and then it gives light to all in the house.
wmth@Matthew:5:16 @ Just so let your light shine before all men, in order that they may see your holy lives and may give glory to your Father who is in Heaven.
wmth@Matthew:5:18 @ Solemnly I tell you that until Heaven and earth pass away, not one iota or smallest detail will pass away from the Law until all has taken place.
wmth@Matthew:5:19 @ Whoever therefore breaks one of these least commandments and teaches others to break them, will be called the least in the Kingdom of the Heavens; but whoever practises them and teaches them, he will be acknowledged as great in the Kingdom of the Heavens.
wmth@Matthew:5:20 @ For I assure you that unless your righteousness greatly surpasses that of the Scribes and the Pharisees, you will certainly not find entrance into the Kingdom of the Heavens.
wmth@Matthew:5:21 @ »You have heard that it was said to the ancients, and whoever commits murder will be answerable to the magistrate.«
wmth@Matthew:5:22 @ But I say to you that every one who becomes angry with his brother shall be answerable to the magistrate; that whoever says to his brother `Raca,' shall be answerable to the Sanhedrin; and that whoever says, `You fool!' shall be liable to the Gehenna of Fire.
wmth@Matthew:5:24 @ leave your gift there before the altar, and go and make friends with your brother first, and then return and proceed to offer your gift.
wmth@Matthew:5:25 @ Come to terms without delay with your opponent while you are yet with him on the way to the court; for fear he should obtain judgement from the magistrate against you, and the magistrate should give you in custody to the officer and you be thrown into prison.
wmth@Matthew:5:28 @ But I tell you that whoever looks at a woman and cherishes lustful thoughts has already in his heart become guilty with regard to her.
wmth@Matthew:5:29 @ If therefore your eye, even the right eye, is a snare to you, tear it out and away with it; it is better for you that one member should be destroyed rather than that your whole body should be thrown into Gehenna.
wmth@Matthew:5:30 @ And if your right hand is a snare to you, cut it off and away with it; it is better for you that one member should be destroyed rather than that your whole body should go into Gehenna.
wmth@Matthew:5:32 @ But I tell you that every man who puts away his wife except on the ground of unfaithfulness causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries her when so divorced commits adultery.
wmth@Matthew:5:36 @ And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
wmth@Matthew:5:40 @ If any one wishes to go to law with you and to deprive you of your under garment, let him take your outer one also.
wmth@Matthew:5:41 @ And whoever shall compel you to convey his goods one mile, go with him two.
wmth@Matthew:5:43 @ »You have heard that it was said, and hate thine enemy.'«
wmth@Matthew:5:44 @ But I command you all, love your enemies, and pray for your persecutors;
wmth@Matthew:5:45 @ that so you may become true sons of your Father in Heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the wicked as well as the good, and sends rain upon those who do right and those who do wrong.
wmth@Matthew:5:47 @ And if you salute only your near relatives, what praise is due to you? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
wmth@Matthew:6:2 @ `When you give in charity, never blow a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and streets in order that their praises may be sung by men. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.
wmth@Matthew:6:3 @ But when you are giving in charity, let not your left hand perceive what your right hand is doing,
wmth@Matthew:6:4 @ that your charities may be in secret; and then your Father –He who sees in secret– will recompense you.
wmth@Matthew:6:5 @ »And when praying, you must not be like the hypocrites. They are fond of standing and praying in the synagogues or at the corners of the wider streets, in order that men may see them. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.«
wmth@Matthew:6:6 @ But you, whenever you pray, go into your own room and shut the door: then pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father –He who sees in secret– will recompense you.
wmth@Matthew:6:7 @ »And when praying, do not use needless repetitions as the Gentiles do, for they expect to be listened to because of their multitude of words.«
wmth@Matthew:6:12 @ and forgive us our shortcomings, as we also have forgiven those who have failed in their duty towards us;
wmth@Matthew:6:13 @ and bring us not into temptation, but rescue us from the Evil one.'
wmth@Matthew:6:17 @ But, whenever you fast, pour perfume on your hair and wash your face,
wmth@Matthew:6:18 @ that it may not be apparent to men that you are fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father –He who sees in secret– will recompense you.
wmth@Matthew:6:19 @ »Do not lay up stores of wealth for yourselves on earth, where the moth and wear-and-tear destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.«
wmth@Matthew:6:20 @ But amass wealth for yourselves in Heaven, where neither the moth nor wear-and-tear destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
wmth@Matthew:6:24 @ »No man can be the bondservant of two masters; for either he will dislike one and like the other, or he will attach himself to one and think slightingly of the other. You cannot be the bondservants both of God and of gold.«
wmth@Matthew:6:25 @ For this reason I charge you not to be over-anxious about your lives, inquiring what you are to eat or what you are to drink, nor yet about your bodies, inquiring what clothes you are to put on. Is not the life more precious than its food, and the body than its clothing?
wmth@Matthew:6:28 @ And why be anxious about clothing? Learn a lesson from the wild lilies. Watch their growth. They neither toil nor spin,
wmth@Matthew:6:29 @ and yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his magnificence could array himself like one of these.
wmth@Matthew:6:30 @ And if God so clothes the wild herbage which to-day flourishes and to-morrow is thrown into the oven, is it not much more certain that He will clothe you, you men of little faith?
wmth@Matthew:6:33 @ But make His Kingdom and righteousness your chief aim, and then these things shall all be given you in addition.
wmth@Matthew:7:2 @ for your own judgement will be dealt –and your own measure meted– to yourselves.
wmth@Matthew:7:3 @ And why do you look at the splinter in your brother's eye, and not notice the beam which is in your own eye?
wmth@Matthew:7:5 @ Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to remove the splinter from your brother's eye.
wmth@Matthew:7:6 @ »Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor throw your pearls to the swine; otherwise they will trample them under their feet and then turn and attack you.«
wmth@Matthew:7:7 @ »Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.«
wmth@Matthew:7:8 @ For it is always he who asks that receives, he who seeks that finds, and he who knocks that has the door opened to him.
wmth@Matthew:7:12 @ Everything, therefore, be it what it may, that you would have men do to you, do you also the same to them; for in this the Law and the Prophets are summed up.
wmth@Matthew:7:13 @ »Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad the road which leads to ruin, and many there are who enter by it;«
wmth@Matthew:7:14 @ because narrow is the gate and contracted the road which leads to Life, and few are those who find it.
wmth@Matthew:7:19 @ Every tree which does not yield good fruit is cut down and thrown aside for burning.
wmth@Matthew:7:22 @ Many will say to me on that day, »`Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Thy name, and in Thy name expelled demons, and in Thy name performed many mighty works?'
wmth@Matthew:7:23 @ And then I will tell them plainly, »`I never knew you: begone from me, you doers of wickedness.'
wmth@Matthew:7:24 @ »Every one who hears these my teachings and acts upon them will be found to resemble a wise man who builds his house upon rock;«
wmth@Matthew:7:25 @ and the heavy rain falls, the swollen torrents come, and the winds blow and beat against the house; yet it does not fall, for its foundation is on rock.
wmth@Matthew:7:26 @ And every one who hears these my teachings and does not act upon them will be found to resemble a fool who builds his house upon sand.
wmth@Matthew:7:27 @ The heavy rain descends, the swollen torrents come, and the winds blow and burst upon the house, and it falls; and disastrous is the fall.«
wmth@Matthew:7:29 @ for He had been teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their Scribes taught.
wmth@Matthew:8:2 @ And a leper came to Him, and throwing himself at His feet, said, »Sir, if only you are willing you are able to cleanse me.«
wmth@Matthew:8:3 @ So Jesus put out His hand and touched him, and said, »I am willing: be cleansed.« Instantly he was cleansed from his leprosy;
wmth@Matthew:8:4 @ and Jesus said to him, »Be careful to tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses appointed as evidence for them.«
wmth@Matthew:8:5 @ After His entry into Capernaum a Captain came to Him, and entreated Him.
wmth@Matthew:8:6 @ »Sir,« he said, »my servant at home is lying ill with paralysis, and is suffering great pain.«
wmth@Matthew:8:7 @ »I will come and cure him,« said Jesus.
wmth@Matthew:8:8 @ »Sir,« replied the Captain, »I am not a fit person to receive you under my roof: merely say the word, and my servant will be cured.
wmth@Matthew:8:9 @ For I myself am also under authority, and have soldiers under me. To one I say `Go,' and he goes, to another `Come,' and he comes, and to my slave `Do this or that,' and he does it.«
wmth@Matthew:8:10 @ Jesus listened to this reply, and was astonished, and said to the people following Him, »I solemnly tell you that in no Israelite have I found faith as great as this.
wmth@Matthew:8:11 @ And I tell you that many will come from the east and from the west and will recline at table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of the Heavens,
wmth@Matthew:8:12 @ while the natural heirs of the Kingdom will be driven out into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.«
wmth@Matthew:8:13 @ And Jesus said to the Captain, »Go, and just as you have believed, so be it for you.« And the servant recovered precisely at that time.
wmth@Matthew:8:15 @ He touched her hand and the fever left her: and then she rose and waited upon Him.
wmth@Matthew:8:16 @ In the evening many demoniacs were brought to Him, and with a word He expelled the demons; and He cured all the sick,
wmth@Matthew:8:19 @ when a Scribe came and said to Him, »Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.«
wmth@Matthew:8:20 @ »Foxes have holes,« replied Jesus, »and birds have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.«
wmth@Matthew:8:21 @ Another of the disciples said to Him, »Sir, allow me first to go and bury my father.«
wmth@Matthew:8:22 @ »Follow me,« said Jesus, »and leave the dead to bury their own dead.«
wmth@Matthew:8:23 @ Then He went on board a fishing-boat, and His disciples followed Him.
wmth@Matthew:8:25 @ So they came and woke Him, crying, »Master, save us, we are drowning!«
wmth@Matthew:8:26 @ »Why are you so easily frightened,« He replied, »you men of little faith?« Then He rose and reproved the winds and the waves, and there was a perfect calm;
wmth@Matthew:8:27 @ and the men, filled with amazement, exclaimed, »What kind of man is this? for the very winds and waves obey him!«
wmth@Matthew:8:32 @ »Go,« He replied. Then they came out from the men and went into the swine, whereupon the entire herd instantly rushed down the cliff into the Lake and perished in the water.
wmth@Matthew:8:33 @ The swineherds fled, and went and told the whole story in the town, including what had happened to the demoniacs.
wmth@Matthew:8:34 @ So at once the whole population came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, they besought Him to leave their country.
wmth@Matthew:9:1 @ Accordingly He went on board, and crossing over came to His own town.
wmth@Matthew:9:5 @ Why, which is easier? –to say, `Your sins are pardoned,' or to say `Rise up and walk'?
wmth@Matthew:9:6 @ But, to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins« –He then says to the paralytic, »Rise, and take up your bed and go home.«
wmth@Matthew:9:7 @ And he got up, and went off home.
wmth@Matthew:9:8 @ And the crowds were awe-struck when they saw it, and ascribed the glory to God who had entrusted such power to a man.
wmth@Matthew:9:9 @ Passing on thence Jesus saw a man called Matthew sitting at the Toll Office, and said to him, »Follow me.« And he arose, and followed Him.
wmth@Matthew:9:10 @ And while He was reclining at table, a large number of tax-gathers and notorious sinners were of the party with Jesus and His disciples.
wmth@Matthew:9:11 @ The Pharisees noticed this, and they inquired of His disciples, »Why does your Teacher eat with the tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?«
wmth@Matthew:9:12 @ He heard the question and replied, »It is not men in good health who require a doctor, but the sick.
wmth@Matthew:9:13 @ But go and learn what this means, for I did not come to appeal to the righteous, but to sinners.«
wmth@Matthew:9:14 @ At that time John's disciples came and asked Jesus, »Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?«
wmth@Matthew:9:15 @ »Can the bridegroom's party mourn,« He replied, »as long as the bridegroom is with them? But other days will come (when the Bridegroom has been taken from them) and then they will fast.
wmth@Matthew:9:16 @ No one ever mends an old cloak with a patch of newly woven cloth. Otherwise, the patch put on would tear away some of the old, and a worse hole would be made.
wmth@Matthew:9:17 @ Nor do people pour new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the skins would split, the wine would escape, and the skins be destroyed. But they put new wine into fresh skins, and both are saved.«
wmth@Matthew:9:18 @ While He was thus speaking, a Ruler came up and profoundly bowing said, »My daughter is just dead; but come and put your hand upon her and she will return to life.«
wmth@Matthew:9:19 @ And Jesus rose and followed him, as did also His disciples.
wmth@Matthew:9:20 @ But a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage came behind Him and touched the tassel of His cloak;
wmth@Matthew:9:22 @ And Jesus turned and saw her, and said, »Take courage, daughter; your faith has cured you.« And the woman was restored to health from that moment.
wmth@Matthew:9:23 @ Entering the Ruler's house, Jesus saw the flute-players and the crowd loudly wailing,
wmth@Matthew:9:24 @ and He said, »Go out of the room; the little girl is not dead, but asleep.« And they laughed at Him.
wmth@Matthew:9:25 @ When however the place was cleared of the crowd, Jesus went in, and on His taking the little girl by the hand, she rose up.
wmth@Matthew:9:26 @ And the report of this spread throughout all that district.
wmth@Matthew:9:27 @ As Jesus passed on, two blind men followed Him, shouting and saying, »Pity us, Son of David.«
wmth@Matthew:9:28 @ And when He had gone indoors, they came to Him. »Do you believe that I can do this?« He asked them. »Yes, Sir,« they replied.
wmth@Matthew:9:29 @ So He touched their eyes and said, »According to your faith let it be to you.«
wmth@Matthew:9:30 @ Then their eyes were opened. And assuming a stern tone Jesus said to them, »Be careful to let no one know.«
wmth@Matthew:9:31 @ But they went out and published His fame in all that district.
wmth@Matthew:9:32 @ And as they were leaving His presence a dumb demoniac was brought to Him.
wmth@Matthew:9:33 @ When the demon was expelled, the dumb man could speak. And the crowds exclaimed in astonishment, »Never was such a thing seen in Israel.«
wmth@Matthew:9:35 @ And Jesus continued His circuits through all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity.
wmth@Matthew:9:36 @ And when He saw the crowds He was touched with pity for them, because they were distressed and were fainting on the ground like sheep which have no shepherd.
wmth@Matthew:10:1 @ Then He called to Him His twelve disciples and gave them authority over foul spirits, to drive them out; and to cure every kind of disease and infirmity.
wmth@Matthew:10:2 @ Now the names of the twelve Apostles were these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James the son of Zabdi, and his brother John;
wmth@Matthew:10:3 @ Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax-gatherer, James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
wmth@Matthew:10:4 @ Simon the Cananaean, and Judas the Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.
wmth@Matthew:10:5 @ These twelve Jesus sent on a mission, after giving them their instructions:»Go not,« He said, »among the Gentiles, and enter no Samaritan town;
wmth@Matthew:10:7 @ And as you go, preach and say, `The Kingdom of the Heavens is close at hand.'
wmth@Matthew:10:11 @ »Whatever town or village you enter, inquire for some good man; and make his house your home till you leave the place.«
wmth@Matthew:10:13 @ and if the house deserves it, the peace you invoke shall come upon it. If not, your peace shall return to you.
wmth@Matthew:10:14 @ And whoever refuses to receive you or even to listen to your Message, as you leave that house or town, shake off the very dust from your feet.
wmth@Matthew:10:15 @ I solemnly tell you that it will be more endurable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of Judgement than for that town.
wmth@Matthew:10:16 @ »Remember it is I who am sending you out, as sheep into the midst of wolves; prove yourselves as sagacious as serpents, and as innocent as doves.«
wmth@Matthew:10:17 @ But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to appear before Sanhedrins, and will flog you in their synagogues;
wmth@Matthew:10:18 @ and you will even be put on trial before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness to them and to the Gentiles.
wmth@Matthew:10:21 @ Brother will betray brother to death, and father, child; and children will rise against their own parents and will put them to death.
wmth@Matthew:10:22 @ And you will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name; but he who holds out to the End–he will be saved.
wmth@Matthew:10:24 @ »The learner is never superior to his teacher, and the servant is never superior to his master.«
wmth@Matthew:10:25 @ Enough for the learner to be on a level with his teacher, and for the servant to be on a level with his master. If they have called the master of the house Baal-zebul, how much more will they slander his servants?
wmth@Matthew:10:27 @ What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what is whispered into your ear, proclaim upon the roofs of the houses.
wmth@Matthew:10:28 @ »And do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.«
wmth@Matthew:10:37 @ Any one who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and any one who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
wmth@Matthew:10:38 @ and any one who does not take up his cross and follow where I lead is not worthy of me.
wmth@Matthew:10:39 @ To save your life is to lose it, and to lose your life for my sake is to save it.
wmth@Matthew:10:40 @ »Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives Him who sent me.«
wmth@Matthew:10:41 @ Every one who receives a prophet, because he is a prophet, will receive a prophet's reward, and every one who receives a righteous man, because he is a righteous man, will receive a righteous man's reward.
wmth@Matthew:10:42 @ And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, I solemnly tell you that he will not lose his reward.«
wmth@Matthew:11:1 @ When Jesus had concluded His instructions to His twelve disciples, He left in order to teach and to proclaim His Message in the neighbouring towns.
wmth@Matthew:11:2 @ Now John had heard in prison about the Christ's doings, and he sent some of his disciples to inquire:
wmth@Matthew:11:4 @ »Go and report to John what you see and hear,« replied Jesus;«
wmth@Matthew:11:5 @ »blind eyes receive sight, and cripples walk; lepers are cleansed, and deaf ears hear; the dead are raised to life, and the poor have the Good News proclaimed to them;«
wmth@Matthew:11:6 @ and blessed is every one who does not stumble and fall because of my claims.«
wmth@Matthew:11:9 @ But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.
wmth@Matthew:11:12 @ But from the time of John the Baptist till now, the Kingdom of the Heavens has been suffering violent assault, and the violent have been seizing it by force.
wmth@Matthew:11:13 @ For all the Prophets and the Law taught until John.
wmth@Matthew:11:14 @ And (if you are willing to receive it) he is the Elijah who was to come.
wmth@Matthew:11:17 @ »`We have played the flute to you,' they say, `and you have not danced: we have sung dirges, and you have not beaten your breasts.'«
wmth@Matthew:11:18 @ »For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, `He has a demon.'
wmth@Matthew:11:19 @ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they exclaim, `See this man! –given to gluttony and tippling, and a friend of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners!' And yet Wisdom is vindicated by her actions.«
wmth@Matthew:11:21 @ »Alas for thee, Chorazin!« He cried. »Alas for thee, Bethsaida! For had the mighty works been done in Tyre and Sidon which have been done in both of you, they would long ere now have repented, covered with sackcloth and ashes.
wmth@Matthew:11:22 @ Only I tell you that it will be more endurable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of Judgement than for you.
wmth@Matthew:11:23 @ And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted even to Heaven? Even to Hades shalt thou descend. For had the mighty works been done in Sodom which have been done in thee, it would have remained until now.
wmth@Matthew:11:24 @ Only I tell you all, that it will be more endurable for the land of Sodom on the day of Judgement than for thee.«
wmth@Matthew:11:25 @ About that time Jesus exclaimed, »I heartily praise Thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and of earth, that Thou hast hidden these things from sages and men of discernment, and hast unveiled them to babes.
wmth@Matthew:11:27 @ »All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one fully knows the Son except the Father, nor does any one fully know the Father except the Son and all to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.«
wmth@Matthew:11:28 @ »Come to me, all you toiling and burdened ones, and will give you rest.
wmth@Matthew:11:29 @ Take my yoke upon you and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
wmth@Matthew:11:30 @ For it is good to bear my yoke, and my burden is light.«
wmth@Matthew:12:1 @ About that time Jesus passed on the Sabbath through the wheatfields; and His disciples became hungry, and began to gather ears of wheat and eat them.
wmth@Matthew:12:2 @ But the Pharisees saw it and said to Him, »Look! your disciples are doing what the Law forbids them to do on the Sabbath.«
wmth@Matthew:12:3 @ »Have you never read,« He replied, »what David did when he and his men were hungry?
wmth@Matthew:12:4 @ how he entered the House of God and ate the Presented Loaves, which it was not lawful for him or his men to eat, nor for any except the priests?
wmth@Matthew:12:5 @ And have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the Temple break the Sabbath without incurring guilt?
wmth@Matthew:12:7 @ And if you knew what this means,, you would not have condemned those who are without guilt.
wmth@Matthew:12:10 @ where there was a man with a shrivelled arm. And they questioned Him, »Is it right to cure people on the Sabbath?« Their intention was to bring a charge against Him.
wmth@Matthew:12:11 @ »Which of you is there,« He replied, »who, if he has but a single sheep and it falls into a hole on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?
wmth@Matthew:12:13 @ Then He said to the man, »Stretch out your arm.« And he stretched it out, and it was restored quite sound like the other.
wmth@Matthew:12:15 @ Aware of this, Jesus departed elsewhere; and a great number of people followed Him, all of whom He cured.
wmth@Matthew:12:22 @ At that time a demoniac was brought to Him, blind and dumb; and He cured him, so that the dumb man could speak and see.
wmth@Matthew:12:23 @ And the crowds of people were all filled with amazement and said, »Can this be the Son of David?«
wmth@Matthew:12:24 @ The Pharisees heard it and said, »This man only expels demons by the power of Baal-zebul, the Prince of demons.«
wmth@Matthew:12:25 @ Knowing their thoughts He said to them, »Every kingdom in which civil war has raged suffers desolation; and every city or house in which there is internal strife will be brought low.
wmth@Matthew:12:26 @ And if Satan is expelling Satan, he has begun to make war on himself: how therefore shall his kingdom last?
wmth@Matthew:12:27 @ And if it is by Baal-zebul's power that I expel the demons, by whose power do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall be your judges.
wmth@Matthew:12:29 @ Again, how can any one enter the house of a strong man and carry off his goods, unless first of all he masters and secures the strong man: then he will ransack his house.
wmth@Matthew:12:30 @ »The man who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me is scattering abroad.
wmth@Matthew:12:31 @ This is why I tell you that men may find forgiveness for every other sin and impious word, but that for impious speaking against the Holy Spirit they shall find no forgiveness.
wmth@Matthew:12:32 @ And whoever shall speak against the Son of Man may obtain forgiveness; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, neither in this nor in the coming age shall he obtain forgiveness.«
wmth@Matthew:12:33 @ »Either grant the tree to be wholesome and its fruit wholesome, or the tree poisonous and its fruit poisonous; for the tree is known by its fruit.

wmth@Matthew:12:38 @ Then He was accosted by some of the Scribes and of the Pharisees who said, »Teacher, we wish to see a sign given by you.«
wmth@Matthew:12:39 @ »Wicked and faithless generation!« He replied, »they clamour for a sign, but none shall be given to them except the sign of the Prophet Jonah.
wmth@Matthew:12:41 @ There will stand up men of Nineveh at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and mark! there is One greater than Jonah here.
wmth@Matthew:12:42 @ The Queen of the south will awake at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and mark! there is One greater than Solomon here.
wmth@Matthew:12:44 @ Then he says, `I will return to my house that I left;' and he comes and finds it unoccupied, swept clean, and in good order.
wmth@Matthew:12:45 @ Then he goes and brings back with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they come in and dwell there; and in the end that man's condition becomes worse than it was at first. So will it be also with the present wicked generation.«
wmth@Matthew:12:46 @ While He was still addressing the people His mother and His brothers were standing on the edge of the crowd desiring to speak to Him.
wmth@Matthew:12:47 @ So some one told Him, »Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, and desire to speak to you.«
wmth@Matthew:12:48 @ »Who is my mother?« He said to the man; »and who are my brothers?«
wmth@Matthew:12:49 @ And pointing to His disciples He added, »See here are my mother and my brothers.

wmth@Matthew:13:1 @ That same day Jesus had left the house and was sitting on the shore of the Lake,
wmth@Matthew:13:2 @ when a vast multitude of people crowded round Him. He therefore went on board a boat and sat there, while all the people stood on the shore.
