Matthew:1:1 @ The Genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
wmth@Matthew:1:3 @ Judah was the father (by Tamar) of Perez and Zerah; Perez of Hezron; Hezron of Ram;
wmth@Matthew:1:4 @ Ram of Amminadab; Amminadab of Nahshon; Nahshon of Salmon;
wmth@Matthew:1:5 @ Salmon (by Rahab) of Boaz; Boaz (by Ruth) of Obed; Obed of Jesse;
wmth@Matthew:1:6 @ Jesse of David–the King. David (by Uriah's widow) was the father of Solomon;
wmth@Matthew:1:7 @ Solomon of Rehoboam; Rehoboam of Abijah; Abijah of Asa;
wmth@Matthew:1:10 @ Hezekiah of Manasseh; Manasseh of Amon; Amon of Josiah;
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:1:20 @ 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:1:25 @ but did not live with her until she had given birth to a son. The child's name he called JESUS.
wmth@Matthew:2:3 @ Reports of this soon reached the king, and greatly agitated not only him but all the people of Jerusalem.
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:2:9 @ 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:2:13 @ 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:2:22 @ 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: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:3:6 @ and were baptized by him in the Jordan, making full confession of their sins.
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:3:11 @ 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:3:15 @ »Let it be so on this occasion,« Jesus replied; »for so we ought to fulfil every religious duty.« Then he consented;
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:3:17 @ while a voice came from Heaven, saying, »This is My Son, the dearly loved, in whom is My delight.«
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:4:10 @ »Begone, Satan!« Jesus replied; »for it is written,
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:4:18 @ 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:4:20 @ 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:5:3 @ »Blessed are the poor in spirit, for to them belongs the Kingdom of the Heavens.«
wmth@Matthew:5:5 @ »Blessed are the meek, for they as heirs shall obtain possession of the earth.«
wmth@Matthew:5:7 @ »Blessed are the compassionate, for they shall receive compassion.«
wmth@Matthew:5:9 @ »Blessed are the peacemakers, for it is they who will be recognized as sons of God.«
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:5:17 @ »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:5:18 @ 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:5:22 @ 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:5:23 @ If therefore when you are offering your gift upon the altar, you remember that your brother has a grievance against you,
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:5:29 @ 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:5:34 @ But I tell you not to swear at all; neither by Heaven, for it is God's throne;
wmth@Matthew:5:36 @ And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
wmth@Matthew:5:37 @ But let your language be, `Yes, yes,' or `No, no.' Anything in excess of this comes from the Evil one.
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:5:45 @ 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:5:46 @ For if you love only those who love you, what reward have you earned? Do not even the tax-gatherers do that?
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:6:1 @ »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:6:5 @ »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:6:7 @ »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:6:10 @ let Thy kingdom come; let Thy will be done, as in Heaven so on earth;
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:6:19 @ »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:6:28 @ 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:6:32 @ For all these are questions that Gentiles are always asking; but your Heavenly Father knows that you need these things–all of them.
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:7:9 @ What man is there among you, who if his son shall ask him for bread will offer him a stone?
wmth@Matthew:7:10 @ Or if the son shall ask him for a fish will offer him a snake?
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:7:17 @ Just so every good tree produces good fruit, but a poisonous tree produces bad fruit.
wmth@Matthew:7:18 @ A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor a poisonous tree good fruit.
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:7:23 @ 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:7:28 @ When Jesus had concluded this discourse, the crowds were filled with amazement at His teaching,
wmth@Matthew:7:29 @ for He had been teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their Scribes taught.
wmth@Matthew:8:1 @ Upon descending from the hill country He was followed by immense crowds.
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:8:4 @ 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:8:8 @ »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:8:15 @ 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:8:17 @ in order that this prediction of the Prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled,
wmth@Matthew:8:18 @ Seeing great crowds about Him Jesus had given directions to cross to the other side of the Lake,
wmth@Matthew:8:20 @ »Foxes have holes,« replied Jesus, »and birds have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.«
wmth@Matthew:8:23 @ Then He went on board a fishing-boat, and His disciples followed Him.
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:9:3 @ »Such language is impious,« said some of the Scribes among themselves.
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:9:9 @ 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:9:12 @ He heard the question and replied, »It is not men in good health who require a doctor, but the sick.
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:9:18 @ 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:9:25 @ 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:9:27 @ 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:9:30 @ 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:9:34 @ But the Pharisees maintained, »It is by the power of the Prince of the demons that he drives out the demons.«
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:10:2 @ 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:10:8 @ Cure the sick, raise the dead to life, cleanse lepers, drive out demons: you have received without payment, give without payment.
wmth@Matthew:10:13 @ and if the house deserves it, the peace you invoke shall come upon it. If not, your peace shall return to you.
wmth@Matthew:10:15 @ 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:10:18 @ 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:10:23 @ 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:10:25 @ 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:10:29 @ 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:10:30 @ But as for you, the very hairs on your heads are all numbered.
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:10:41 @ 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:11:3 @ »Are you the Coming One, or is it a different person that we are to expect?«
wmth@Matthew:11:6 @ and blessed is every one who does not stumble and fall because of my claims.«
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:11:11 @ »I solemnly tell you that among all of woman born no greater has ever been raised up than John the Baptist; yet one who is of lower rank in the Kingdom of the Heavens is greater than he.«
wmth@Matthew:11:15 @ Listen, every one who has ears!
wmth@Matthew:11:16 @ »But to what shall I compare the present generation? It is like children sitting in the open places, who call to their playmates.«
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:11:20 @ Then began He to upbraid the towns where most of His mighty works had been done–because they had not repented.
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:11:27 @ »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: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:12:5 @ 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:12:8 @ For the Son of Man is the Lord of the Sabbath.«
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:12:12 @ Is not a man, however, far superior to a sheep? Therefore it is right to do good on the Sabbath.«
wmth@Matthew:12:14 @ But the Pharisees after leaving the synagogue consulted together against Him, how they might destroy Him.
wmth@Matthew:12:16 @ But He gave them strict injunctions not to blaze abroad His doings,
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:12:28 @ But if it is by the power of the Spirit of God that I expel the demons, it is evident that the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
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:12:32 @ 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:12:36 @ But I tell you that for every careless word that men shall speak they will be held accountable on the day of Judgement.
wmth@Matthew:12:37 @ For each of you by his words shall be justified, or by his words shall be condemned.«
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:12:40 @ For just as so will the Son of Man be three days in the heart of the earth.
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:12:43 @ »No sooner however has the foul spirit gone out of the man, then he roams about in places where there is no water, seeking rest but finding none.
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: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.

wmth@Matthew:13:17 @ For I solemnly tell you that many Prophets and holy men have longed to see the sights you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the words you hear, and have not heard them.
wmth@Matthew:13:19 @ When a man hears the Message concerning the Kingdom and does not understand it, the Evil one comes and catches away what has been sown in his heart. This is he who has received the seed by the road-side.
wmth@Matthew:13:20 @ He who has received the seed on the rocky ground is the man who hears the Message and immediately receives it with joy.
wmth@Matthew:13:21 @ It has struck no root, however, within him. He continues for a time, but when suffering comes, or persecution, because of the Message, he at once stumbles and falls.

wmth@Matthew:13:27 @ So the farmer's men come and ask him, »`Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed on your land? Where then does the darnel come from?'
wmth@Matthew:13:28 @ `Some enemy has done this,' he said. »`Shall we go, and collect it?' the men inquire.
wmth@Matthew:13:37 @ »The sower of the good seed,« He replied, »is the Son of Man;

wmth@Matthew:13:41 @ The Son of Man will commission His angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all causes of sin and all who violate His laws;
wmth@Matthew:13:43 @ Then will the righteous shine out like the sun in their Father's Kingdom. Listen, every one who has ears!

wmth@Matthew:13:49 @ So will it be at the Close of the Age. The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from among the righteous,
wmth@Matthew:13:53 @ Jesus concluded this series of parables and then departed.
wmth@Matthew:13:54 @ And He came into His own country and proceeded to teach in their synagogue, so that they were filled with astonishment and exclaimed, »Where did he obtain such wisdom, and these wondrous powers?
wmth@Matthew:13:55 @ Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers, James, Joseph, Simon and Judah?
wmth@Matthew:13:56 @ And his sisters–are they not all living here among us? Where then did he get all this?«
wmth@Matthew:13:57 @ So they turned angrily away from Him. But Jesus said to them, »There is no prophet left without honour except in his own country and among his own family.«
wmth@Matthew:14:3 @ For Herod had arrested John, and had put him in chains, and imprisoned him, for the sake of Herodias his brother Philip's wife,

wmth@Matthew:14:10 @ and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
wmth@Matthew:14:11 @ The head was brought on a dish and given to the young girl, and she took it to her mother.
wmth@Matthew:14:13 @ Upon receiving these tidings, Jesus went away by boat to an uninhabited and secluded district; but the people heard of it and followed Him in crowds from the towns by land.
wmth@Matthew:14:14 @ So Jesus went out and saw an immense multitude, and felt compassion for them, and cured those of them who were out of health.
wmth@Matthew:14:15 @ But when evening was come, the disciples came to Him and said, »This is an uninhabited place, and the best of the day is now gone; send the people away to go into the villages and buy something to eat.«
wmth@Matthew:14:19 @ and He told all the people to sit down on the grass. Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and after looking up to heaven and blessing them, He broke up the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples distributed them to the people.
wmth@Matthew:14:20 @ So all ate, and were fully satisfied. The broken portions that remained over they gathered up, filling twelve baskets.
wmth@Matthew:14:21 @ Those who had eaten were about 5,000 adult men, without reckoning women and children.
wmth@Matthew:14:22 @ Immediately afterwards He made the disciples go on board the boat and cross to the opposite shore, leaving Him to dismiss the people.
wmth@Matthew:14:23 @ When He had done this, He climbed the hill to pray in solitude. Night came on, and he was there alone.
wmth@Matthew:14:24 @ Meanwhile the boat was far out on the Lake, buffeted and tossed by the waves, the wind being adverse.
wmth@Matthew:14:26 @ When the disciples saw Him walking on the waves, they were greatly alarmed. »It is a spirit,« they exclaimed, and they cried out with terror.
wmth@Matthew:14:28 @ »Master,« answered Peter, »if it is you, bid me come to you upon the water.«
wmth@Matthew:14:29 @ »Come,« said Jesus. Then Peter climbed down from the boat and walked upon the water to go to Him.
wmth@Matthew:14:33 @ and the men on board fell down before him and said, »You are indeed God's Son.«
wmth@Matthew:15:2 @ »Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the Elders by not washing their hands before meals?«
wmth@Matthew:15:3 @ »Why do you, too,« He retorted, »transgress God's commands for the sake of your tradition?
wmth@Matthew:15:5 @ but you –this is what you say: `If a man says to his father or mother, That is consecrated, whatever it is, which otherwise you should have received from me–

wmth@Matthew:15:28 @ »O woman,« replied Jesus, »great is your faith: be it done to you as you desire.« And from that moment her daughter was restored to health.
wmth@Matthew:15:29 @ Again, moving thence, Jesus went along by the Lake of Galilee; and ascending the hill, He sat down there.
