@ 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:1:11 @ Josiah of Jeconiah and his brothers at the period of the Removal to Babylon.
wmth@Matthew:1:12 @ After the Removal to Babylon Jeconiah had a son Shealtiel; Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel;
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:1:18 @ The circumstances of the birth of Jesus Christ were these. After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they were united in marriage, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
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:1:22 @ All this took place in fulfilment of what the Lord had spoken through the Prophet,
wmth@Matthew:1:25 @ but did not live with her until she had given birth to a son. The child's name he called JESUS.
wmth@Matthew:2:1 @ Now after the birth of Jesus, which took place at Bethlehem in Judaea in the reign of King Herod, excitement was produced in Jerusalem by the arrival of certain Magi from the east,
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:2:4 @ 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:2:8 @ 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:2:12 @ But being forbidden by God in a dream to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by a different route.
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:3:5 @ 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:3:7 @ 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:3:13 @ Just at that time Jesus, coming from Galilee to the Jordan, presents Himself to John to be baptized by him.
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:3:15 @ »Let it be so on this occasion,« Jesus replied; »for so we ought to fulfil every religious duty.« Then he consented;
wmth@Matthew:4:1 @ At that time Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the Desert in order to be tempted by the Devil.
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:4:8 @ 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:4:12 @ Now when Jesus heard that John was thrown into prison, He withdrew into Galilee,
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:4:24 @ 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:5:3 @ »Blessed are the poor in spirit, for to them belongs the Kingdom of the Heavens.«
wmth@Matthew:5:10 @ »Blessed are those who have borne persecution in the cause of Righteousness, for to them belongs the Kingdom of the Heavens.«
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:5:14 @ are the light of the world; a town cannot be hid if built on a hill-top.
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:5:17 @ »Do not for a moment suppose that I have come to abrogate the Law or the Prophets: I have not come to abrogate them but to give them their completion.«
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:5:33 @ »Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, «
wmth@Matthew:5:34 @ But I tell you not to swear at all; neither by Heaven, for it is God's throne;
wmth@Matthew:5:35 @ nor by the earth, for it is the footstool under His feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the City of the Great King.
wmth@Matthew:5:39 @ But I tell you not to resist a wicked man, but if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him as well.
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:5:42 @ To him who asks, give: from him who would borrow, turn not away.
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:5:48 @ You however are to be complete in goodness, as your Heavenly Father is complete.
wmth@Matthew:6:1 @ »But beware of doing your good actions in the sight of men, in order to attract their gaze; if you do, there is no reward for you with your Father who is in Heaven.«
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:6:11 @ give us to-day our bread for the day;
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:6:16 @ »When any of you fast, never assume gloomy looks as the hypocrites do; for they disfigure their faces in order that it may be evident to men that they are fasting. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.«
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:6:24 @ »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:6:26 @ Look at the birds which fly in the air: they do not sow or reap or store up in barns, but your Heavenly Father feeds them: are not you of much greater value than they?
wmth@Matthew:6:27 @ Which of you by being over-anxious can add a single foot to his height?
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:6:30 @ 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:6:34 @ Do not be over-anxious, therefore, about to-morrow, for to-morrow will bring its own cares. Enough for each day are its own troubles.
wmth@Matthew:7:2 @ for your own judgement will be dealt –and your own measure meted– to yourselves.
wmth@Matthew:7:4 @ Or how say to your brother, `Allow me to take the splinter out of your eye,' while the beam 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:7:9 @ What man is there among you, who if his son shall ask him for bread will offer him a stone?
wmth@Matthew:7:11 @ If you then, imperfect as you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good things to those who ask 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:7:15 @ »Beware of the false teachers–men who come to you in sheep's fleeces, but beneath that disguise they are ravenous wolves.«
wmth@Matthew:7:21 @ »Not every one who says to me, `Master, Master,' will enter the Kingdom of the Heavens, but only those who are obedient to my Father who is in Heaven.«
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:7:24 @ »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: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:8:8 @ »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:8:12 @ 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:8:14 @ After this Jesus went to the house of Peter, whose mother-in-law he found ill in bed with fever.
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:8:18 @ Seeing great crowds about Him Jesus had given directions to cross to the other side of the Lake,
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:8:24 @ But suddenly there arose a great storm on the Lake, so that the waves threatened to engulf the boat; but He was asleep.
wmth@Matthew:8:28 @ On His arrival at the other side, in the country of the Gadarenes, there met Him two men possessed by demons, coming from among the tombs: they were so dangerously fierce that no one was able to pass that way.
wmth@Matthew:8:29 @ They cried aloud, »What hast Thou to do with us, Thou Son of God? Hast Thou come here to torment us before the time?«
wmth@Matthew:8:31 @ So the demons entreated Him. »If Thou drivest us out,« they said, »send us into the herd of swine.«
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:9:2 @ Here they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith Jesus said to the paralytic, »Take courage, my child; your sins are pardoned.«
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:9:8 @ 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:9:17 @ 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:9:20 @ But a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage came behind Him and touched the tassel of His cloak;
wmth@Matthew:9:21 @ for she said to herself, »If I but touch His cloak, I shall be cured.«
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:9:28 @ 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:9:32 @ 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:9:37 @ Then He said to His disciples, »The harvest is abundant, but the reapers are few;
wmth@Matthew:9:38 @ therefore entreat the Owner of the Harvest to send out reapers into His fields.«
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:10:5 @ 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:10:6 @ but, instead of that, go to the lost sheep of Israel's race.
wmth@Matthew:10:8 @ Cure the sick, raise the dead to life, cleanse lepers, drive out demons: you have received without payment, give without payment.
wmth@Matthew:10:9 @ »Provide no gold, nor even silver nor copper to carry in your pockets;«
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:10:19 @ But when they have delivered you up, have no anxiety as to how you shall speak or what you shall say; for at that very time it shall be given you what to say;
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:10:23 @ Whenever they persecute you in one town, escape to the next; for I solemnly tell you that you will not have gone the round of all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
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:10:29 @ Do not two sparrows sell for a halfpenny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's leave.
wmth@Matthew:10:34 @ »Do not suppose that I came to bring peace to the earth: I did not come to bring peace but a sword.«
wmth@Matthew:10:35 @ For I came to set a man against his father,
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:10:42 @ 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:11:3 @ »Are you the Coming One, or is it a different person that we are to expect?«
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:11:7 @ When the messengers had taken their leave, Jesus proceeded to say to the multitude concerning John, »What did you go out into the Desert to gaze at? A reed waving in the wind?
wmth@Matthew:11:8 @ But what did you go out to see? A man luxuriously dressed? Those who wear luxurious clothes are to be found in kings' palaces.
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:11:14 @ And (if you are willing to receive it) he is the Elijah who was to come.
