@ DESCRIPTION: The International Standard Version version 1.2.1
isv@Matthew:1:1 @ This is a record of the birth of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
isv@Matthew:1:2 @ Abraham fathered Isaac, Isaac fathered Jacob, and Jacob fathered Judah and his brothers.
isv@Matthew:1:3 @ Judah fathered Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez fathered Hezron, Hezron fathered Aram,
isv@Matthew:1:4 @ Aram fathered Aminidab, Aminidab fathered Nahshon, and Nahshon fathered Salmon.
isv@Matthew:1:5 @ Salmon fathered Boaz by Rahab, Boaz fathered Obed by Ruth, Obed fathered Jesse,
isv@Matthew:1:6 @ and Jesse fathered King David.David fathered Solomon by the wife of Uriah,
isv@Matthew:1:7 @ Solomon fathered Rehoboam, Rehoboam fathered Abijah, Abijah fathered Asaph,
isv@Matthew:1:8 @ Asaph fathered Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat fathered Joram, Joram fathered Uzziah,
isv@Matthew:1:9 @ Uzziah fathered Jotham, Jotham fathered Ahaz, Ahaz fathered Hezekiah,
isv@Matthew:1:10 @ Hezekiah fathered Manasseh, Manasseh fathered Amos, and Amos fathered Josiah.
isv@Matthew:1:11 @ Josiah fathered Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the deportation to Babylon.
isv@Matthew:1:12 @ After the deportation to Babylon, Jechoniah fathered Salathiel, Salathiel fathered Zerubbabel,
isv@Matthew:1:13 @ Zerubbabel fathered Abiud, Abiud fathered Eliakim, Eliakim fathered Azor,
isv@Matthew:1:14 @ Azor fathered Zadok, Zadok fathered Achim, Achim fathered Eliud,
isv@Matthew:1:15 @ Eliud fathered Eleazar, Eleazar fathered Matthan, and Matthan fathered Jacob.
isv@Matthew:1:16 @ Jacob fathered Joseph, the husband of Mary, who was the mother of Jesus, who is called the Christ.
isv@Matthew:1:17 @ So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon were fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ were fourteen generations.
isv@Matthew:1:18 @ Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened in this way. When his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they lived together she was discovered to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
isv@Matthew:1:19 @ Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to disgrace her, decided to divorce her secretly.
isv@Matthew:1:20 @ After he had thought about it, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
isv@Matthew:1:21 @ She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he is the one who will save his people from their sins.”
isv@Matthew:1:22 @ Now all this happened to fulfill what was declared by the Lord through the prophet when he said,
isv@Matthew:1:23 @ “See, a virgin will become pregnantand give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel,”which means, “God with us.”
isv@Matthew:1:24 @ When Joseph got up from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary as his wife.
isv@Matthew:1:25 @ He did not have marital relations with her until she had given birth to a son; and he named him Jesus.
isv@Matthew:2:1 @ After Jesus had been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, wise men from the east arrived in Jerusalem
isv@Matthew:2:2 @ and asked, “Where is the one who was born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”
isv@Matthew:2:3 @ When King Herod heard this he was troubled, and all the people of Jerusalem with him.
isv@Matthew:2:4 @ He called together all the high priests and scribes of the people and asked them where the Christ was to be born.
isv@Matthew:2:5 @ They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea. For that is what was written by the prophet:
isv@Matthew:2:6 @ ‘O Bethlehem in the land of Judah,you are by no means least among the rulers of Judah. For from you will come a rulerwho will shepherd my people Israel.’”
isv@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod secretly called together the wise men and found out from them the time the star had appeared.
isv@Matthew:2:8 @ Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “As you go, search carefully for the child. When you find him, tell me so that I, too, may go and worship him.”
isv@Matthew:2:9 @ After listening to the king, they set out, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it came and stopped over the place where the child was.
isv@Matthew:2:10 @ When they saw the star, they were ecstatic with joy.
isv@Matthew:2:11 @ After they went into the house and saw the child with his mother Mary, they fell down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure sacks and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
isv@Matthew:2:12 @ Having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they left for their own country by a different road.
isv@Matthew:2:13 @ After they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, because Herod intends to search for the child and kill him.”
isv@Matthew:2:14 @ So Joseph got up and took the child and his mother and left at night for Egypt.
isv@Matthew:2:15 @ He stayed there until Herod's death in order to fulfill what was declared by the Lord through the prophet when he said, “Out of Egypt I called my Son.”
isv@Matthew:2:16 @ When Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, he flew into a rage and ordered the execution of all the male children in Bethlehem and all its neighboring regions who were two years old and younger, according to the time that he had determined from the wise men.
isv@Matthew:2:17 @ Then what was declared by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled when he said,
isv@Matthew:2:18 @ “A voice was heard in Ramah:wailing and great mourning. Rachel was crying for her children.She refused to be comforted,because they no longer existed.”
isv@Matthew:2:19 @ But after Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt
isv@Matthew:2:20 @ and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to kill the child are dead.”
isv@Matthew:2:21 @ So Joseph got up and took the child and his mother and went into the land of Israel.
isv@Matthew:2:22 @ But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he left for the region of Galilee
isv@Matthew:2:23 @ and came and settled in a town called Nazareth in order to fulfill what was said by the prophets: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
isv@Matthew:3:1 @ In those days John the Baptist appeared, preaching in the wilderness of Judea
isv@Matthew:3:2 @ and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near!”
isv@Matthew:3:3 @ He was the one the prophet Isaiah was referring to when he said, “He is a voice calling out in the wilderness:‘Prepare the way for the Lord!Make his paths straight!’”
isv@Matthew:3:4 @ John had clothing made of camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist. His diet consisted of locusts and wild honey.
isv@Matthew:3:5 @ Then the people of Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region along the Jordan began flocking to him,
isv@Matthew:3:6 @ being baptized by him in the Jordan River while they confessed their sins.
isv@Matthew:3:7 @ But when John saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them, “You children of serpents! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
isv@Matthew:3:8 @ Produce fruit that is consistent with repentance!
isv@Matthew:3:9 @ Don't think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our forefather.’ For I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones!
isv@Matthew:3:10 @ The ax already lies against the roots of the trees. So every tree not producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
isv@Matthew:3:11 @ I am baptizing you with water as a token of repentance, but the one who is coming after me is stronger than I am, and I am not worthy to carry his sandals. It is he who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
isv@Matthew:3:12 @ His winnowing fork is in his hand. He will clean up his threshing floor and gather his grain into the barn, but he will burn the chaff with inextinguishable fire.”
isv@Matthew:3:13 @ Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.
isv@Matthew:3:14 @ But John tried to stop him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and are you coming to me?”
isv@Matthew:3:15 @ But Jesus answered him,“Let it be this way for now, for this is the proper way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John let him.
isv@Matthew:3:16 @ When Jesus had been baptized, he immediately came up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens opened up for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him.
isv@Matthew:3:17 @ Then a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with him!”
isv@Matthew:4:1 @ Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
isv@Matthew:4:2 @ After fasting for forty days and forty nights, he finally became hungry.
isv@Matthew:4:3 @ The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.”
isv@Matthew:4:4 @ But he answered,“It is written, ‘One must not live on bread alone,but on every word comingout of the mouth of God.’”
isv@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the devil took him to the Holy City and had him stand on the highest point of the temple.
isv@Matthew:4:6 @ He said to Jesus, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written, ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’and ‘With their hands they will hold you up,so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’”
isv@Matthew:4:7 @ Jesus said to him,“It is also written,‘You must not tempt the Lord your God.’”
isv@Matthew:4:8 @ Once more the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.
isv@Matthew:4:9 @ He said to Jesus, “I will give you all of these things if you will bow down and worship me!”
isv@Matthew:4:10 @ Then Jesus said to him,“Go away,Satan! For it is written,‘You must worship the Lord your Godand serve only him.’”
isv@Matthew:4:11 @ Then the devil left him, and angels came and began ministering to him.
isv@Matthew:4:12 @ Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he went back to Galilee.
isv@Matthew:4:13 @ He left Nazareth and went and settled in Capernaum by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,
isv@Matthew:4:14 @ in order to fulfill what was declared by the prophet Isaiah when he said,
isv@Matthew:4:15 @ “O Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,on the road to the sea, across the Jordan,Galilee of the Gentiles!
isv@Matthew:4:16 @ The people living in darkness have seen a great light,and for those living in the land and shadow of death,a light has risen.”
isv@Matthew:4:17 @ From then on, Jesus began to preach and to say,“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near!”
isv@Matthew:4:18 @ While Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a net into the sea because they were fishermen.
isv@Matthew:4:19 @ He said to them,“Follow me, and I will make you fishermen of people!”
isv@Matthew:4:20 @ So at once they left their nets and followed him.
isv@Matthew:4:21 @ Going on from there he saw two other brothers—James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee repairing their nets. When he called them,
isv@Matthew:4:22 @ they immediately left the boat and their father and followed him.
isv@Matthew:4:23 @ Then he went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every illness among the people.
isv@Matthew:4:24 @ His fame spread throughout Syria, and people brought to him all who were sick—those afflicted with various diseases and pains, the demon-possessed, the epileptics, and the paralyzed—and he healed them.
isv@Matthew:4:25 @ Large crowds followed him from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from across the Jordan.
isv@Matthew:5:1 @ When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a hillside and sat down. His disciples came to him,
isv@Matthew:5:2 @ and he opened his mouth and began to teach them, saying,
isv@Matthew:5:3 @ “How blessed are those who are destitute in spirit,for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them!
isv@Matthew:5:4 @ “How blessed are those who mourn,for it is they who will be comforted!
isv@Matthew:5:5 @ “How blessed are those who are humble,for it is they who will inherit the earth!
isv@Matthew:5:6 @ “How blessed are those who are hungry and thirsty for righteousness,for it is they who will be satisfied!
isv@Matthew:5:7 @ “How blessed are those who are merciful,for it is they who will receive mercy!
isv@Matthew:5:8 @ “How blessed are those who are pure in heart,for it is they who will see God!
isv@Matthew:5:9 @ “How blessed are those who make peace,for it is they who will be called God's children!
isv@Matthew:5:10 @ “How blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them!
isv@Matthew:5:11 @ “How blessed are you whenever peopleinsult you, persecute you, and say all sorts of evil things against you falselybecause of me!
isv@Matthew:5:12 @ Rejoice and be extremely glad, because your reward in heaven is great! For that's how they persecuted the prophets who came before you.”
isv@Matthew:5:13 @ “You are the salt of the world. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty again? It's good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled on by people.
isv@Matthew:5:14 @ You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can't be hidden.
isv@Matthew:5:15 @ Peopledon't light a lamp and put it under a basket but on a lampstand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
isv@Matthew:5:16 @ In the same way, let your light shine before people in such a way that they will see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
isv@Matthew:5:17 @ “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I didn't come to destroy them, but to fulfill them.
isv@Matthew:5:18 @ For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not one letteror one stroke of a letter will disappear from the Law until everything has been accomplished.
isv@Matthew:5:19 @ So whoever sets asideone of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
isv@Matthew:5:20 @ For I tell you, unless your righteousness greatly exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven!”
isv@Matthew:5:21 @ “You have heard that it was said to those who lived long ago, ‘You must not murder,’and ‘Whoever murders will be subject to punishment.’
isv@Matthew:5:22 @ But I say to you, anyone who is angry with his brother without a causewill be subject to punishment. And whoever says to his brother ‘Raka!’will be subject to the Council.And whoever says ‘You fool!’ will be subject to hellfire.
isv@Matthew:5:23 @ “So if you are presenting your gift at the altar and remember there that your brother has something against you,
isv@Matthew:5:24 @ leave your gift there before the altar and first go and be reconciled to your brother. Then come and offer your gift.
isv@Matthew:5:25 @ Come to terms quickly with your opponent while you are on the way to court,or your opponent may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison.
isv@Matthew:5:26 @ Truly I tell you, you will not get out of there until you pay back the last penny!”
isv@Matthew:5:27 @ “You have heard that it was said, ‘You must not commit adultery.’
isv@Matthew:5:28 @ But I say to you, anyone who stares at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
isv@Matthew:5:29 @ So if your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into hell.
isv@Matthew:5:30 @ And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away from you. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body go into hell.”
isv@Matthew:5:31 @ “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce.’
isv@Matthew:5:32 @ But I say to you, any man who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”
isv@Matthew:5:33 @ “Again, you have heard that it was said to those who lived long ago, ‘You must not swear an oath falsely,’ but ‘You must fulfill your oaths to the Lord.’
isv@Matthew:5:34 @ But I tell you not to swear at all, neither by heaven, because it is God's throne,
isv@Matthew:5:35 @ nor by the earth, because it is his footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the Great King.
isv@Matthew:5:36 @ Nor should you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.
isv@Matthew:5:37 @ Instead, let your word be ‘Yes’ for ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ for ‘No.’ Anything more than that comes from the evil one.”
isv@Matthew:5:38 @ “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’
isv@Matthew:5:39 @ But I tell you not to resist an evildoer. On the contrary, whoever slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other to him as well.
isv@Matthew:5:40 @ If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat as well.
isv@Matthew:5:41 @ And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go two with him.
isv@Matthew:5:42 @ Give to the person who asks you for something, and do not turn away from the person who wants to borrow something from you.”
isv@Matthew:5:43 @ “You have heard that it was said, ‘You must love your neighbor’and hate your enemy.
isv@Matthew:5:44 @ But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
isv@Matthew:5:45 @ so that you will become children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and he lets rain fall on the righteous and the unrighteous.
isv@Matthew:5:46 @ For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Even the tax collectors do the same, don't they?
isv@Matthew:5:47 @ And if you greet only your brothers, what great thing are you doing? Even the Gentilesdo the same, don't they?
isv@Matthew:5:48 @ So be perfect,as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
isv@Matthew:6:1 @ “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of people in order to be noticed by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
isv@Matthew:6:2 @ So whenever you give to the poor, don't blow a trumpet before you like the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets so that they will be praised by people. Truly I tell you, they have their full reward!
isv@Matthew:6:3 @ But when you give to the poor, don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
isv@Matthew:6:4 @ so that your giving may be done in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”
isv@Matthew:6:5 @ “And whenever you pray, don't be like the hypocrites who love to stand in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they will be seen by people. Truly I tell you, they have their full reward!
isv@Matthew:6:6 @ But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
isv@Matthew:6:7 @ “When you are praying, don't say meaningless words like the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard because of their wordiness.
isv@Matthew:6:8 @ Don't be like them, because your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
isv@Matthew:6:9 @ “Therefore, this is how you should pray:‘Our Father in heaven,may your name be kept holy.
isv@Matthew:6:10 @ May your kingdom come.May your will be done,on earth as it is in heaven.
isv@Matthew:6:11 @ Give us today our daily bread,
isv@Matthew:6:12 @ and forgive us our sins,as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us.
isv@Matthew:6:13 @ And never bring us into temptation,but deliver us from the evil one.’
isv@Matthew:6:14 @ For if you forgive people their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
isv@Matthew:6:15 @ But if you do not forgive people their offenses,your Father will not forgive your offenses.”
isv@Matthew:6:16 @ “Whenever you fast, don't be gloomy like the hypocrites. For they put on sad faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have their full reward!
isv@Matthew:6:17 @ But when you fast, put oil onyour head and wash your face,
isv@Matthew:6:18 @ so that your fasting will not be noticed by others but by your Father who sees in secret. And your Father who is in secret will reward you.”
isv@Matthew:6:19 @ “Stop storing up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moths and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.
isv@Matthew:6:20 @ But keep on storing up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where moths and rust do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal.
isv@Matthew:6:21 @ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
isv@Matthew:6:22 @ “The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light.
isv@Matthew:6:23 @ But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. Therefore, if the light in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!”
isv@Matthew:6:24 @ “No one can serve two masters. For either he will hate one and love the other, or be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and riches!”
isv@Matthew:6:25 @ “That's why I'm telling you to stop worrying about your life—what you will eat or what you will drink—or about your body—what you will wear. Life is more than food, isn't it, and the body more than clothing?
isv@Matthew:6:26 @ Look at the birds in the sky. They don't plant or harvest or gather food into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. You are more valuable than they are, aren't you?
isv@Matthew:6:27 @ Can any of you add a single hour to your span of lifeby worrying?
isv@Matthew:6:28 @ And why do you worry about clothes? Consider the lilies in the field and how they grow. They don't work or spin yarn,
isv@Matthew:6:29 @ but I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them.
isv@Matthew:6:30 @ Now if that is the way God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and thrown into an oven tomorrow, won't he clothe you much better—you who have little faith?
isv@Matthew:6:31 @ “So don't ever worry by saying, ‘What are we going to eat?’ or ‘What are we going to drink?’ or ‘What are we going to wear?’
isv@Matthew:6:32 @ For it is the Gentiles who are eager for all those things. Surely your heavenly Father knows that you need all of them!
isv@Matthew:6:33 @ But first be concerned about God's kingdom and his righteousness,and all of these things will be provided for you as well.
isv@Matthew:6:34 @ So never worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
isv@Matthew:7:1 @ “Stop judging, so that you won't be judged.
isv@Matthew:7:2 @ For with the judgment you use,you will be judged. And with the measure you use,you will be measured.
isv@Matthew:7:3 @ “Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?
isv@Matthew:7:4 @ Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when the beam is in your own eye?
isv@Matthew:7:5 @ You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the speck from your brother's eye.”
isv@Matthew:7:6 @ “Never give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls before pigs. Otherwise, they will trample them with their feet and then turn around and attack you.”
isv@Matthew:7:7 @ “Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the doorwill be opened for you.
isv@Matthew:7:8 @ For everyone who keeps asking will receive, and the person who keeps searching will find, and the person who keeps knocking will have the dooropened.
isv@Matthew:7:9 @ “There isn't a person among you who would give his son a stone if he asked for bread, is there?
isv@Matthew:7:10 @ Or if he asks for a fish, he wouldn't give him a snake, would he?
isv@Matthew:7:11 @ So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who keep on asking him!
isv@Matthew:7:12 @ Therefore, whatever you want people to do for you, do the same for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
isv@Matthew:7:13 @ “Go in through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the road is spacious that leads to destruction, and many people are entering by it.
isv@Matthew:7:14 @ How narrow is the gate and how constricted is the road that leads to life, and few are the people who find it!”
isv@Matthew:7:15 @ “Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheeps’ clothing but inwardly are savage wolves.
isv@Matthew:7:16 @ By their fruit you will know them. Grapes aren't gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles, are they?
isv@Matthew:7:17 @ In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a rotten tree produces bad fruit.
isv@Matthew:7:18 @ A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a rotten tree cannot produce good fruit.
isv@Matthew:7:19 @ Every tree not producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into a fire.
isv@Matthew:7:20 @ So by their fruit you will know them.”
isv@Matthew:7:21 @ “Not everyone who keeps saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will get into the kingdom of heaven, but only the person who keeps doing the will of my Father in heaven.
isv@Matthew:7:22 @ Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, we prophesied in your name, drove out demons in your name, and performed many miracles in your name, didn't we?’
isv@Matthew:7:23 @ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you evildoers!’”
isv@Matthew:7:24 @ “Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on a rock.
isv@Matthew:7:25 @ The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, but it did not collapse because its foundation was on the rock.
isv@Matthew:7:26 @ “Everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn't obey them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
isv@Matthew:7:27 @ The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and battered that house, and it collapsed, and its collapse was devastating.”
isv@Matthew:7:28 @ When Jesus had finished saying all these things, the crowds were utterly amazed at his teaching,
isv@Matthew:7:29 @ for he was teaching them like a person who had authority, and not like their scribes.
isv@Matthew:8:1 @ When Jesus came down from the hillside, large crowds followed him.
isv@Matthew:8:2 @ Suddenly a leper came up to him, fell down before him, and said, “Sir, if you want to, you can make me clean.”
isv@Matthew:8:3 @ So Jesus reached out his hand, touched him, and said,“I do want to. Be made clean!” And instantly his leprosy was made clean.
isv@Matthew:8:4 @ Then Jesus said to him,“See to it that you don't speak to anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest, and then offer the sacrifice that Moses commanded as proof to the authorities.”
isv@Matthew:8:5 @ When Jesus returned to Capernaum, a centurion came up to him and begged him repeatedly,
isv@Matthew:8:6 @ “Sir, my servant is lying at home paralyzed and in terrible pain.”
isv@Matthew:8:7 @ Jesus said to him,“I will come and heal him.”
isv@Matthew:8:8 @ The centurion replied, “Sir, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
isv@Matthew:8:9 @ For I, too, am a man under authority and have soldiers under me. I say to one ‘Go’ and he goes, to another ‘Come’ and he comes, and to my servant ‘Do this’ and he does it.”
isv@Matthew:8:10 @ When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those who were following him,“Truly I tell you, not evenin Israel have I found this kind of faith!
isv@Matthew:8:11 @ I tell you, many will come from east and west and will feast with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

isv@Matthew:9:4 @ But Jesus knew their thoughts and said,“Why do you have such evil thoughts in your hearts?
isv@Matthew:9:5 @ For which is easier: to say ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?
