Matthew:1:18 @ This is the way Jesus Christ was born. Mary, his mother, was promised to Joseph to be his wife. But before they were married, she found out that she was going to have a baby. It was by the Holy Spirit.
bwe@Matthew:1:21 @ She will have a baby son. Name him Jesus, because he will save his people from the wrong things they have done.
bwe@Matthew:2:2 @ They asked, Where is the child who has been born to be King of the Jews? We saw his star rising and we have come to worship him.
bwe@Matthew:2:5 @ They told him, In Bethlehem in Judea. That is what the prophet, the man of God long ago, wrote:
bwe@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod called the wise men to talk with them secretly. He found out from them what time they saw the star.
bwe@Matthew:2:9 @ After they heard what the king said, they went away. And the star, which they had seen rising, went in front of them. It stopped above the place where the child was.
bwe@Matthew:2:10 @ When they saw the star, they were very glad.
bwe@Matthew:2:11 @ They went into the house, and there they saw the child and Mary his mother. They kneeled down and worshipped him. Then they opened their bags and gave him gifts. These gifts were gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
bwe@Matthew:2:12 @ In a dream they were told not to go back to Herod. So they went home by a different road.
bwe@Matthew:2:16 @ Herod saw that the wise men had fooled him. He was very angry. He sent men to kill all the baby boys in the town of Bethlehem and around it. They killed all the boys who were two years old or less. Herod remembered what the wise men had told him about the time they first saw the star.
bwe@Matthew:2:23 @ He went and made his home in the town of Nazareth. The prophets of God long ago had said, He shall be called a man from Nazareth. What they said came true.
bwe@Matthew:3:6 @ He baptised them in the Jordan River when they said how sorry they were for the wrong things they had done.
bwe@Matthew:4:6 @ The devil said to him, If you are Gods Son, jump down. The holy writings say, "God will tell his angels to take care of you. They will hold you up in their hands so that you will not knock your foot on a stone."
bwe@Matthew:4:8 @ The devil took Jesus to a very high hill. He showed him all the countries of the world and how great they were.
bwe@Matthew:4:18 @ Jesus was walking by the sea of Galilee. There he saw two brothers, Simon who later was named Peter, and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a fishing net into the water. Their work was to catch fish.
bwe@Matthew:4:20 @ Right away they left their nets and went with him.
bwe@Matthew:4:21 @ Jesus went on from there and saw two other brothers, James and John. Their fathers name was Zebedee. They were in the boat with their father mending their nets.
bwe@Matthew:4:22 @ Jesus called them. Right away they left the boat and their father and went with him.
bwe@Matthew:4:24 @ The people in all the country of Syria heard about him. They brought all who were sick in any way, or had bad spirits in them, and those who could not walk or use their hands. Jesus healed them.
bwe@Matthew:4:25 @ Many people went with him. They came from Galilee, the Ten Towns, Jerusalem, Judea, and from the other side of the Jordan river.
bwe@Matthew:5:3 @ He said, God makes happy those who know that they need him. The kingdom of heaven is for them.
bwe@Matthew:5:4 @ God makes happy those who are sad. They will have comfort.
bwe@Matthew:5:6 @ God makes happy those who are hungry and thirsty for what is right and good. They will be filled.
bwe@Matthew:5:8 @ God makes happy those who have clean hearts. They will see God.
bwe@Matthew:5:9 @ God makes happy those who make peace between people. They will be called Gods sons.
bwe@Matthew:5:11 @ God makes you happy when people say wrong things about you, when they trouble you, and when they say all kinds of lies about you. God makes you happy when it is for my sake.
bwe@Matthew:5:15 @ So also with a lamp. People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket. But they put it on the place for a lamp. Then all the people in the house can see its light.
bwe@Matthew:5:16 @ So, let your light shine to all people. Then they will see the good things you do. And they will praise your Father in heaven.
bwe@Matthew:5:17 @ Do not think that I have come to take away the law and the writings of the prophets. No, I have not come to take them away. But I have come to do what they say must be done.
bwe@Matthew:6:2 @ So when you give money to poor people, do not send men in front of you to blow trumpets or horns. Some people do this in the meeting houses and on the streets so that people will praise them. They are not true to themselves. I tell you the truth. They have their pay already.
bwe@Matthew:6:5 @ When you talk to God, do not be like people who are not true to themselves. They like to stand and talk to God in the meeting houses and at the street corners, so that people will see them. I tell you the truth. They have their reward already.
bwe@Matthew:6:7 @ And when you talk to God, do not say words that mean nothing, over and over again. People who do not believe in God do that. They think their god will hear them because they say many words.
bwe@Matthew:6:14 @ If you forgive others for the wrong things they have done, then your Father in heaven will forgive you.
bwe@Matthew:6:16 @ When you are fasting <FI>not eating food for a time<Fi>, do not look sad. That is what people do who are not true to themselves. They look sad to show people they are fasting. I tell you the truth. They have their reward already.
bwe@Matthew:6:26 @ Look at the birds that fly in the air. They do not plant or cut or keep any food. Yet your Father in heaven feeds them. Are you not worth more than birds?
bwe@Matthew:6:28 @ And why are you troubled about clothes? See how the flowers grow in the fields. They do not work or make cloth.
bwe@Matthew:7:6 @ Do not give what is holy to dogs. Do not throw your fine stones to pigs. They will walk all over them, and then turn and hurt you.
bwe@Matthew:7:15 @ Take care. There are prophets who are not true. They come to you dressed like sheep, but inside they are like wolves, bad animals that kill sheep.
bwe@Matthew:7:16 @ You will know them by the things they do. People do not pick fruit like grapes from thistles. They do not pick fruit like figs from thorn trees.
bwe@Matthew:7:20 @ So you will know them by the things they do, good or bad fruit.
bwe@Matthew:8:11 @ I tell you, many people will come from the east and from the west. They will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
bwe@Matthew:8:12 @ But those who were born in the kingdom will be put into the darkness outside. There they will cry and make noises with their teeth.
bwe@Matthew:8:25 @ The disciples came to Jesus and woke him. Lord, save us! they shouted. We will die!
bwe@Matthew:8:27 @ The disciples were surprised. They said What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him.
bwe@Matthew:8:28 @ Jesus came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarene people. There were graves in that place. Two men came from among the graves to meet him. They had bad spirits in them. They were so bad and strong that people feared to pass that way.
bwe@Matthew:8:29 @ They shouted, Jesus, Son of God, what do you want to do to us? Have you come here to punish us before it is our time?
bwe@Matthew:8:32 @ Jesus said, Go! The spirits came out of the men and went into the pigs. All the pigs ran fast down the steep hill into the sea. They died in the water.
bwe@Matthew:8:33 @ The men who cared for the pigs ran to the town. They told everything and what had happened to the men who had the bad spirits.
bwe@Matthew:8:34 @ All the people in the town came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged him to go away out of their country
bwe@Matthew:9:2 @ Some men brought a sick man to him. The man could not move his arms or legs. He was lying on a bed. Jesus saw that they believed he would be healed. So he said to the sick man, My son, be glad! The wrong things you have done are forgiven.
bwe@Matthew:9:4 @ Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said, Why do you think these wrong things in your heart?
bwe@Matthew:9:8 @ Many people saw this and were much surprised. They praised God who had given such power to men.
bwe@Matthew:9:10 @ Jesus was eating in a house. Many tax collectors and bad people came in. They sat down to eat with Jesus and his disciples.
bwe@Matthew:9:11 @ The Pharisees saw this. They said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and bad people?
bwe@Matthew:9:14 @ Then Johns disciples came to Jesus. They said, We and the Pharisees fast. Why do your disciples not do the same?
bwe@Matthew:9:15 @ Jesus answered, The people at a wedding cannot be sad while the man who is married is with them. But the time will come when he will be taken away from them. Then they will not eat.
bwe@Matthew:9:17 @ People do not put new wine into old wine skins. If they do, the old skins break. The wine is lost and the skins are spoiled. New wine is put into new skins. And so they are both saved.
bwe@Matthew:9:24 @ He said to them, Go away. The girl is not dead, but sleeping. They laughed at him.
bwe@Matthew:9:25 @ The people were told to go outside. When they were out, he went in and took the girls hand. The girl got up.
bwe@Matthew:9:27 @ When Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him. They called out, Son of David, help us!
bwe@Matthew:9:28 @ When Jesus came into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus asked them, Do you believe that I can do this? They said, Yes, sir.
bwe@Matthew:9:30 @ Then they were able to see. Jesus said to them, Take care, do not tell anyone about this.
bwe@Matthew:9:31 @ But they went away and told everybody in that part of the country about him.
bwe@Matthew:9:32 @ As they were leaving, people brought a man to Jesus. This man could not talk He had a bad spirit in him.
bwe@Matthew:9:33 @ Jesus drove the bad spirit out of the man. Then he could talk. The people were very much surprised. They said, Nothing like this has ever been seen in the country of Israel.
bwe@Matthew:9:36 @ He saw the many people and was sorry for them. They were troubled and they could not help themselves. They were like sheep with no one to care for them.
bwe@Matthew:10:1 @ Jesus called his twelve disciples to him. He gave them power over bad spirits so they could drive them out of people. He gave them power to heal people who were sick or weak in any way.
bwe@Matthew:10:6 @ But go to the people of Israel. They are like lost sheep.
bwe@Matthew:10:17 @ But take care. Men will take you to their courts. They will beat you in their meeting houses.
bwe@Matthew:10:18 @ They will bring you to rulers and kings for my sake. Then you will talk about me to them and to those who are not Jews.
bwe@Matthew:10:23 @ When they trouble you in one town, go to another. I tell you the truth. You will not go to all the towns in Israel before the Son of Man comes.
bwe@Matthew:10:25 @ The one who learns should want to be like his teacher. And the servant should want to be like his master. If they say the master belongs to the devil, they will say it all the more about those who work for him.
bwe@Matthew:10:28 @ Do not fear people who can kill the body. They cannot kill the spirit. But fear the one who can destroy both spirit and body in hell.
bwe@Matthew:11:16 @ What shall I say that the people of today are like? They are like children who sit in the market. They call to the other children.
bwe@Matthew:11:17 @ They say, "We played music for you, but you did not dance. We cried, but you did not cry."
bwe@Matthew:11:20 @ Then Jesus began to talk about the towns where he had done most of his big works. He said hard things about the people, because they did not stop their wrong ways and turn back to God.
bwe@Matthew:11:21 @ He said, Chorazin! You will have trouble! Bethsaida! You will have trouble! If the big works I did in you had been done in the cities of Tyre and Sidon, the people there would have stopped their wrong ways long ago. They would wear the clothes people wear to show they are sad. They would sit in ashes.
bwe@Matthew:12:1 @ About that time, Jesus was walking through the grain fields on a Sabbath day. His disciples were hungry. They began to pick some of the grain and to eat it.
bwe@Matthew:12:2 @ The Pharisees saw them. They said to Jesus, Look! Your disciples are doing what is not right on the Sabbath day.
bwe@Matthew:12:5 @ Have you never read in the books of the law that the priests in the temple break the Sabbath law on the Sabbath day? They are not punished for it.
bwe@Matthew:12:7 @ You do not know what this means, "I want you to be kind; I do not want a sacrifice." If you knew, then you would not have said what they did was wrong. What they did was not wrong.
bwe@Matthew:12:10 @ There was a man whose hand was thin and weak. The people asked Jesus, Is it right to heal a man on the Sabbath day? They wanted to find something wrong about Jesus.
bwe@Matthew:12:23 @ All the people were surprised. They said, Is he Davids son?
bwe@Matthew:12:24 @ The Pharisees heard about it. They said, This man drives out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub, the chief of bad spirits.
bwe@Matthew:12:25 @ Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said to them, If one part of any country fights against the other part of the country, that country is broken down. If one part of any city or family fights against the other part of it, it cannot stand.
bwe@Matthew:12:36 @ I tell you this. On the day when people are judged, they will pay for every empty word they have said.
bwe@Matthew:12:39 @ But Jesus answered them, The people today are bad. They have gone away from God. They want a sign. No sign will be given them but the sign of the prophet Jonah.
bwe@Matthew:12:45 @ Then he goes and brings seven other spirits with him. They are worse than he is. They go in and live there. Now the man is worse than he was at first. That is how it will be for the wrong people of today.
bwe@Matthew:12:46 @ While Jesus was still talking to the people, his mother and brothers stood outside. They wanted to talk to him.
bwe@Matthew:12:47 @ Someone told him, Your mother and your brothers are standing outside. They want to talk to you.
bwe@Matthew:13:6 @ When the sun began to shine, it was too hot for the new plants. They died because they had no roots.
bwe@Matthew:13:11 @ Jesus answered them, You can learn the secret things about the kingdom of heaven. But they cannot learn them.
bwe@Matthew:13:13 @ That is why I tell them stories. They look, but they do not see. They listen, but they do not hear or understand.
bwe@Matthew:13:14 @ They make what Isaiah the prophet said long ago, come true. Isaiah said: "You will listen and listen, but you will not understand. You will look and look, but you will not see.
bwe@Matthew:13:15 @ The hearts of these people have no feeling. They do not hear well with their ears. And they have shut their eyes. They do not want to see with their eyes. They do not want to hear with their ears. They do not want to understand in their hearts. They do not want to turn to me. If they did turn, I would heal them."
bwe@Matthew:13:16 @ God is blessing your eyes because they see. God is blessing your ears because they hear.
bwe@Matthew:13:17 @ I tell you the truth. Many prophets and good men wanted to see what you see, but they did not see them. They wanted to hear what you hear, but they did not hear them.
bwe@Matthew:13:28 @ He answered them, "A bad man has done this." They asked him, "Do you want us to go and pull up the weeds?"
bwe@Matthew:13:36 @ Then Jesus left the people and went into the house. His disciples came to him. They said, Tell us the meaning of the story about the weeds in the field.
bwe@Matthew:13:41 @ The Son of Man will send his angels. They will gather everything that is bad and the people who do bad things. They will take them out of his kingdom.
bwe@Matthew:13:42 @ They will put them into the big fire. There they will cry and make a noise with their teeth.
bwe@Matthew:13:48 @ When it was full, the men pulled it to the land. They sat down and picked out the good fish into baskets. But they threw the bad fish away.
bwe@Matthew:13:50 @ They will put the bad people into the never-ending hell fire. There they will cry and make a noise with their teeth.
bwe@Matthew:13:54 @ He went back to his home town and he taught people in their meeting house. They were very much surprised and said, Where did he learn all this? Where did he get the power to do these big works?
bwe@Matthew:13:57 @ They did not understand Jesus. Jesus said to them, Other people honour a man who is a prophet. But the people in his own country and home do not honour him.
bwe@Matthew:14:5 @ Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of the people. They thought John was a prophet, a man of God.
bwe@Matthew:14:12 @ Then Johns disciples came and took his body and buried it. They went and told Jesus.
bwe@Matthew:14:13 @ When Jesus heard this, he went away from there in a boat. He went to a lonely place by himself. The people heard that he went away and they followed him. They walked from the towns around there.
bwe@Matthew:14:15 @ In the evening the disciples came to him. They said, This is a lonely place. And the time is late. Send these people away so they can go to the farms and villages to buy food for themselves.
bwe@Matthew:14:16 @ Jesus said to them, They need not go away. You give them food to eat.
bwe@Matthew:14:17 @ They said, We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish.
bwe@Matthew:14:20 @ They all ate and had enough. They gathered twelve baskets full of pieces that were left.
bwe@Matthew:14:26 @ His disciples saw him walking on the water. They were afraid, and said, It is a spirit! Then they shouted loudly because they were afraid.
bwe@Matthew:14:32 @ When they got into the boat, the wind stopped blowing.
bwe@Matthew:14:33 @ Then the men in the boat bowed down in front of Jesus. They said, You really are the Son of God.
bwe@Matthew:14:34 @ They crossed over the sea and came to the land at Gennesaret.
bwe@Matthew:14:35 @ The men there knew him and sent word to the people in all the country around. They brought all the sick people to him.
bwe@Matthew:14:36 @ They begged Jesus to let them touch his clothes. And all the people who touched him were healed.
bwe@Matthew:15:2 @ They asked him, Why do your disciples break the law our fathers made? They do not wash their hands before they eat.
bwe@Matthew:15:9 @ They do not mean it in their hearts when they worship me. Their teachings are only the words of men."
bwe@Matthew:15:12 @ Then the disciples came to Jesus. They said, The Pharisees were angry when they heard what you said. Did you know that?
bwe@Matthew:15:14 @ Leave them alone. They are blind men who are trying to lead blind men. If a blind man leads a blind man, they will both fall into a hole.
bwe@Matthew:15:23 @ He said, I was sent only to the people of Israel. They are like lost sheep.
bwe@Matthew:15:29 @ Many people came to him. They brought sick people with them. Some were lame. Some were hurt. Some were blind. Some could not talk. And there were many others. They laid them down in front of Jesus. And he healed them.
bwe@Matthew:15:30 @ The people were surprised. They saw that people who had not been able to talk were talking. They saw that people who were hurt were made well. They saw that lame people were walking. They saw that blind people could see. And they praised the God of Israel.
bwe@Matthew:15:31 @ Jesus called his disciples to him. He said, I share the suffering of the people. They have been with me for three days and they have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry. If they go away hungry, they will get weak and fall on the way.
bwe@Matthew:15:33 @ Jesus said to them, How many loaves of bread have you? They said, We have seven, and a few small fish.
bwe@Matthew:15:36 @ They all ate and had enough. They gathered seven baskets full of pieces that were left.
bwe@Matthew:16:1 @ The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus. They wanted to test him, so they asked him to show them a sign from the sky.
bwe@Matthew:16:4 @ People today are wrong. They have gone away from God. They want a sign. No sign will be given them but the sign of Jonah. Then Jesus went away and left them.
bwe@Matthew:16:5 @ When the disciples reached the other side of the sea, they found they had forgotten to bring any bread with them.
bwe@Matthew:16:8 @ Jesus knew what they were saying. He said to them, You dont believe very much in me. Why are you saying to each other, "We have no bread".
bwe@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they understood that he was not talking about bread. He did not mean that the yeast of bread would spoil them. They understood that he was talking about the things the Pharisees and Sadducees taught.
bwe@Matthew:16:14 @ They answered, Some people say you are John the Baptizer. Others say you are Elijah. And others say you are Jeremiah or one of the prophets.
bwe@Matthew:16:28 @ I tell you the truth. Some people are standing here who will not die before they see the Son of Man come in his kingdom.
bwe@Matthew:17:3 @ Then they saw Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus.
bwe@Matthew:17:6 @ When the disciples heard it, they bowed their faces to the ground. They were very much afraid.
bwe@Matthew:17:8 @ When they looked up, they saw no one but Jesus.
bwe@Matthew:17:9 @ When they came down the hill, Jesus said to them, Do not tell anyone what you saw. Do not tell it until after the Son of Man has been raised from death.
bwe@Matthew:17:12 @ I tell you that Elijah has come already. The people did not know him. And they did to him just what they wanted to do. So also the Son of Man will be troubled by them.
bwe@Matthew:17:14 @ They came to the people. A man came and kneeled in front of Jesus.
bwe@Matthew:17:16 @ I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.
bwe@Matthew:17:19 @ Then the disciples came to Jesus alone. They asked him, Why could we not drive the bad spirit out?
bwe@Matthew:17:22 @ They were travelling in Galilee. Jesus said to his disciples, The Son of Man will be given over to men.
bwe@Matthew:17:23 @ They will kill him. But he will be raised on the third day. This troubled the disciples very much.
bwe@Matthew:17:24 @ They came to Capernaum. There the men who were collecting the tax for the temple came to Peter. They asked him, Does not your teacher pay the tax for the temple?
bwe@Matthew:17:25 @ Peter said, Yes, he does. When he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him about it first. He said, Simon, what do you think? From whom do kings on earth take taxes? Do they take them from their own people or from other people?
bwe@Matthew:18:1 @ The disciples came to Jesus at that time. They said, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
bwe@Matthew:18:10 @ Do not think badly of these little children. I tell you this. They have angels in heaven. And all the time their angels can see the face of my father who is in heaven.
bwe@Matthew:18:31 @ The other servants saw what he did. They were very sad. They went and told their master everything that had been done.
bwe@Matthew:19:3 @ The Pharisees came to Jesus to test him. They asked, Is it right for a man to send his wife away from him for any reason?
bwe@Matthew:19:6 @ So they are not two people any more, but they are one person. Man must not separate what God has joined together.
bwe@Matthew:19:7 @ They said to Jesus, Then why did Moses make this law? He said that a man may give his wife a paper to show that he does not want her any more. Then he may send her away.
bwe@Matthew:19:12 @ Some men cannot marry because they were born that way. Some were made that way by men. Others said, "I will not marry, for the sake of the kingdom of heaven." Anyone who can do this, should do it.
bwe@Matthew:19:13 @ Then people brought children to Jesus. They wanted him to put his hands on them and ask God to bless them. The disciples tried to stop the people.
bwe@Matthew:19:25 @ When the disciples heard this, they were very much surprised. They said, Then who can be saved?
bwe@Matthew:20:3 @ About nine oclock he went out again. He saw some men standing around at the market. They were not working.
bwe@Matthew:20:4 @ He said to them, "You go out to work on the farm too. I will pay you what is right." And they went to work.
bwe@Matthew:20:7 @ They said, "No man has asked us to work." So he said to them, "You go out to work on the farm too."
bwe@Matthew:20:10 @ Those who started work first thought they would get more than that. But they also were paid a days wages.
bwe@Matthew:20:11 @ They took it, but they were angry and talked against the man who owned the farm.
bwe@Matthew:20:12 @ They said, "These men came last, and worked only one hour. Yet you paid them the same as you paid us. We worked all day, when the sun was hot."
bwe@Matthew:20:18 @ He said to them, We are going to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be given over to the chief priests and scribes. They will judge him and say he must die.
bwe@Matthew:20:19 @ They will give him over to rulers who are not Jews. They will make fun of him. They will beat him and nail him to a cross. On the third day, he will be raised.
bwe@Matthew:20:22 @ But Jesus said, You do not know what you are asking for. Can you drink from the cup that I will drink? Yes, they said. We can.
bwe@Matthew:20:24 @ When the other ten disciples heard about it, they were angry with the two brothers.
bwe@Matthew:20:30 @ Two blind men were sitting by the road. They heard that Jesus was passing that way. So they shouted, Sir, you are the Son of David. Help us!
bwe@Matthew:20:31 @ The people said to them, Be quiet! But they shouted louder, Sir, Son of David! Help us!
bwe@Matthew:20:33 @ They said, Sir, we want to see.
bwe@Matthew:20:34 @ Jesus was very sorry for them as he shared in their suffering. He touched their eyes, and right then they were able to see. They went with him.
bwe@Matthew:21:1 @ Jesus and his disciples came near to Jerusalem. They came to the village of Bethphage by the hill called the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus sent two of his disciples ahead.
bwe@Matthew:21:2 @ He said to them, Go into the village in front of you. As soon as you go in, you will find a donkey for riding, and her young one. They are tied there. Untie them and bring them to me.
bwe@Matthew:21:7 @ They brought the donkey and her young one. They put their coats on them. Then Jesus got on to ride.
bwe@Matthew:21:10 @ When Jesus came into Jerusalem, all the people there were very excited. They said, Who is this?
bwe@Matthew:21:15 @ The chief priests and the scribes saw the big works that Jesus did. They saw the children calling out in the temple, God save the Son of David! They were angry.
bwe@Matthew:21:16 @ They asked Jesus, Do you hear what they are saying? Jesus answered, Yes. Have you never read this? "You like the praise of children and babies."
bwe@Matthew:21:20 @ The disciples saw it and were surprised. They said, So soon the fig tree has died!
bwe@Matthew:21:23 @ He came to the temple and went in and taught the people. The chief priests and the leaders of the people came to him. They asked, What right have you to do these things? Who gave you the right to do them?
bwe@Matthew:21:25 @ Who gave John the right to baptise people? Did God or did men? So they talked it over together. They said, If we say, "God gave John the right to do it," he will say to us, "Then why did you not believe him?"
bwe@Matthew:21:27 @ So they answered Jesus, We do not know. Then Jesus said, Neither will I tell you what right I have to do these things.
bwe@Matthew:21:31 @ Which of the two sons did what his father wanted him to do? They said, The first one. Then Jesus said, I tell you the truth. The tax collectors and women who commit adultery by selling their bodies, are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.
bwe@Matthew:21:35 @ The men caught the servants. They beat one of them and killed another one of them. They threw stones at another one.
bwe@Matthew:21:37 @ Last of all he sent his son to them. He said, "They will respect my son."
bwe@Matthew:21:38 @ When the men saw the son, they said to each other, "This is the one who will have everything when his father dies. Let us kill him and we will have it all."
bwe@Matthew:21:39 @ They caught him, dragged him off the farm, and killed him.
bwe@Matthew:21:41 @ They answered, He will kill those bad men, and will give the farm to other men who will give him the fruit when it is time.
