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:1:6 @ 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:1:25 @ He did not have marital relations with her until she had given birth to a son; and he named him Jesus.
isv@Matthew:2:2 @ 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:2:4 @ He called together all the high priests and scribes of the people and asked them where the Christ was to be born.
isv@Matthew:2:6 @ ‘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:2:15 @ 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:2:22 @ 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:3:7 @ 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:3:14 @ 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: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:4:6 @ 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:4:8 @ 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:4:12 @ 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:4:16 @ 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:4:21 @ 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:4:24 @ 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: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:5:16 @ 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:5:19 @ 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:5:22 @ 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:5:28 @ 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:5:35 @ nor by the earth, because it is his footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the Great King.
isv@Matthew:5:37 @ Instead, let your word be ‘Yes’ for ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ for ‘No.’ Anything more than that comes from the evil one.”
isv@Matthew:5:39 @ 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:5:45 @ 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: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:6:4 @ 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:6:11 @ Give us today our daily bread,
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:6:18 @ 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:6:23 @ 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:6:25 @ “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:6:31 @ “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:7:2 @ For with the judgment you use,you will be judged. And with the measure you use,you will be measured.
isv@Matthew:7:5 @ 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:7:8 @ 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:7:11 @ 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:7:24 @ “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:7:27 @ 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: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:8:5 @ When Jesus returned to Capernaum, a centurion came up to him and begged him repeatedly,
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:8:10 @ 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:8:12 @ But the citizensof that kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
isv@Matthew:8:16 @ When evening came, people brought to him many who were possessed by demons. He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all those who were sick.
isv@Matthew:8:17 @ This was to fulfill what was declared by the prophet Isaiah when he said, “It was he who took our illnesses awayand removed our diseases.”
isv@Matthew:8:19 @ Now a scribe came up and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
isv@Matthew:8:20 @ Jesus told him, “Foxes have holes and birds have nests,but the Son of Man has no place to rest.”
isv@Matthew:8:25 @ They went to him and woke him up, saying, “Lord, save us! We're going to die!”
isv@Matthew:8:26 @ He said to them,“Why are you afraid, you who have little faith?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
isv@Matthew:8:27 @ The men were amazed and said, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him!”
isv@Matthew:8:28 @ When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gerasenes, two demon-possessed men met him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one could travel on that road.
isv@Matthew:8:29 @ Suddenly they screamed, “What do you want with us, Son of God? Did you come here to torture us before the proper time?”
isv@Matthew:8:33 @ Now when those who had been taking care of the pigs ran away, they came into the city and reported everything, especially what had happened to the demon-possessed men.
isv@Matthew:8:34 @ Then the whole city went out to meet Jesus, and as soon as they saw him, they begged him to leave their region.
isv@Matthew:9:2 @ All at once some people brought him a paralyzed man lying on a stretcher. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man,“Be courageous, son! Your sins are forgiven.”
isv@Matthew:9:5 @ For which is easier: to say ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?
isv@Matthew:9:6 @ But I want you to knowthat the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.”Then he said to the paralyzed man,“Get up, pick up your stretcher, and go home!”
isv@Matthew:9:9 @ As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's desk and said to him,“Follow me.” So he got up and followed him.
isv@Matthew:9:16 @ “No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results.
isv@Matthew:9:17 @ Nor do peoplepour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill out, and the skins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
isv@Matthew:9:18 @ While Jesus was telling them these things, an official came up, fell down before him, and said, “My daughter has just died. But come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”
isv@Matthew:9:26 @ The news of this spread throughout that land.
isv@Matthew:9:27 @ As Jesus was traveling on from there, two blind men followed him, shouting, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
isv@Matthew:9:30 @ And their eyes were opened.Then Jesus sternly told them,“See to it that nobody knows about this.”
isv@Matthew:9:31 @ But they went out and spread the news about him throughout that land.
isv@Matthew:9:32 @ As they were going out, a man who couldn't talk because he was demon-possessed was brought to him.
isv@Matthew:9:33 @ As soon as the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
isv@Matthew:9:36 @ When he saw the crowds, he was deeply moved with compassion for them, because they were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
isv@Matthew:9:37 @ Then he said to his disciples,“The harvest is vast, but the workers are few.
isv@Matthew:10:2 @ These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John;
isv@Matthew:10:5 @ These were the twelve whom Jesus sent out, charging them with the words,“Don't turn off into the road that leads to the Gentiles, and don't enter a town of the Samaritans.
isv@Matthew:10:8 @ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without payment you have received; without payment you are to give.
isv@Matthew:10:11 @ “Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you leave.
isv@Matthew:10:12 @ As you enter the house, greet it.
isv@Matthew:10:13 @ If the house is receptive,let your blessing of peace come on it. But if it isn't receptive,let your blessing of peace return to you.
isv@Matthew:10:15 @ Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town!”
isv@Matthew:10:18 @ Because of me you will be brought before governors and kings to testify to them and the Gentiles.
isv@Matthew:10:19 @ When they hand you over, don't worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say, for in that hour what you are to say will be given to you.
isv@Matthew:10:21 @ “Brother will hand brother over to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against parents and have them put to death.
isv@Matthew:10:22 @ You will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the person who endures to the end will be saved.
isv@Matthew:10:23 @ So when they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. For truly I tell you, you certainly will not have gone through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
isv@Matthew:10:25 @ It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher and a slave to be like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they do the same tothose of his household!”
isv@Matthew:10:26 @ “So never be afraid of them. For there is nothing covered that will not be exposed, and nothing secret that will not be made known.
isv@Matthew:10:27 @ What I tell you in darkness you must speak in the daylight, and what is whisperedin your ear you must shout from the housetops.
isv@Matthew:10:29 @ “Two sparrows are sold for a penny, aren't they? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's permission.
isv@Matthew:10:31 @ So stop beingafraid. You are worth more than a bunch of sparrows.”
isv@Matthew:10:32 @ “Therefore, everyone who acknowledges me before people I, too, will acknowledge before my Father in heaven.
isv@Matthew:10:33 @ But whoever denies me before people I, too, will deny before my Father in heaven.”
isv@Matthew:10:37 @ “The one who loves his father or mother more than me isn't worthy of me, and the one who loves a son or daughter more than me isn't worthy of me.
isv@Matthew:10:40 @ “The one who receives you receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me.
isv@Matthew:10:41 @ The one who receives a prophet asa prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person asa righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward.
isv@Matthew:10:42 @ Truly I tell you, whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he isa disciple will never lose his reward.”
isv@Matthew:11:1 @ When Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he left there to teach and preach in their cities.
isv@Matthew:11:3 @ and asked him, “Are you the Coming One, or should we wait for someone else?”
isv@Matthew:11:4 @ Jesus answered them,“Go and tell John what you hear and observe:
isv@Matthew:11:5 @ the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the destitute hear the good news.
isv@Matthew:11:7 @ As they were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John.“What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
isv@Matthew:11:8 @ Really, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? See, those who wear fancy clothes live in kings’ houses.
isv@Matthew:11:9 @ Really, what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!
isv@Matthew:11:10 @ This is the man about whom it is written,‘See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,who will prepare your way before you.’
isv@Matthew:11:11 @ Truly I tell you, among those born of women no one has appeared who is greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least important person in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
isv@Matthew:11:12 @ “From the days of John the Baptist until the present, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing,and violent people have been attacking it.
isv@Matthew:11:14 @ and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come.
isv@Matthew:11:16 @ “To what can I compare this generation? It's like little children who sit in the marketplaces and shout to each other,
isv@Matthew:11:20 @ Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of his miracles had taken place, because they didn't repent.
isv@Matthew:11:21 @ “How terrible it will be for you, Chorazin! How terrible it will be for you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that happened in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
isv@Matthew:11:22 @ Indeed I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you!
isv@Matthew:11:23 @ And you, Capernaum! You won't be lifted up to heaven, will you? You'll go down to Hades!For if the miracles that happened in you had taken place in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.
isv@Matthew:11:24 @ Indeed I tell you, it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you!”
isv@Matthew:11:25 @ At that time Jesus said,“I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from wise and intelligent people and have revealed them to infants.
isv@Matthew:11:27 @ All things have been entrusted to me by my Father. No one fully knows the Son except the Father, and no one fully knows the Father except the Son and the person to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
isv@Matthew:11:28 @ “Come to me, all of you who are weary and loaded down with burdens, and I will give you rest.
isv@Matthew:11:29 @ Place my yoke on you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
isv@Matthew:12:2 @ When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!”
isv@Matthew:12:3 @ But he said to them,“Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
isv@Matthew:12:4 @ How is it that he went into the house of God and ate the Bread of the Presence, which was not lawful for him and his companions to eat but was reservedfor the priests?
isv@Matthew:12:5 @ Or haven't you read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple violate the Sabbath and yet are innocent?
isv@Matthew:12:6 @ But I tell you, something greater than the temple is here!
isv@Matthew:12:9 @ Moving on from there, Jesus went into their synagogue.
isv@Matthew:12:10 @ Suddenly a man with a paralyzed hand appeared. The people asked Jesus if it was lawful to heal on the Sabbath, intending to accuse him of doing something wrong.
isv@Matthew:12:11 @ But he said to them,“Is there a man among you who, if he had one sheep and it fell into a ditch on the Sabbath, wouldn't take hold of it and pull it out?
isv@Matthew:12:12 @ How much more is a human being worth than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
isv@Matthew:12:15 @ When Jesus became aware of this, he left that place. Many crowds followed him, and he healed all of them,
isv@Matthew:12:17 @ This was to fulfill what was declared by the prophet Isaiah when he said,
isv@Matthew:12:18 @ “Here is my Servant whom I have chosen,whom I love, and with whom my soul is pleased! I will put my Spirit on him,and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
isv@Matthew:12:19 @ He will not quarrel or shout,and no one will hear his voice in the streets.
isv@Matthew:12:20 @ He will not snap off a broken reedor snuff out a smoldering wickuntil he brings justice to victory.
isv@Matthew:12:23 @ All the crowds were amazed and kept saying, “This man isn't the Son of David, is he?”
isv@Matthew:12:25 @ He knew what they were thinking and said to them,“Every kingdom divided against itself is destroyed, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
isv@Matthew:12:33 @ “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten. For a tree is known by its fruit.
isv@Matthew:12:34 @ You children of serpents! How can you say anything good when you are evil? For the mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart.
isv@Matthew:12:35 @ A good person brings good things out of a good treasure, and an evil person brings evil things out of an evil treasure.
isv@Matthew:12:39 @ But he replied to them,“An evil and adulterous generation craves a sign. Yet no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
isv@Matthew:12:40 @ For just as Jonah was in the stomach of the sea creature for three days and three nights,so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.
isv@Matthew:12:41 @ The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. But look—something greater than Jonah is here!
isv@Matthew:12:42 @ The queen of the south will stand up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. But look—something greater than Solomon is here!”
isv@Matthew:12:43 @ “Whenever an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it wanders through waterless places looking for a place to rest but finds none.
isv@Matthew:12:45 @ Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and settle there. And so the final condition of that person becomes worse than the first. That's just what will happen to this evil generation!”
isv@Matthew:12:47 @ Someone told him, “Look! Your mother and your brothers are standing outside asking to speak to you.”
isv@Matthew:12:48 @ He asked the man who told him,“Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?”
isv@Matthew:12:49 @ Then pointing with his hand at his disciples, he said,“Here are my mother and my brothers!
isv@Matthew:13:2 @ Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, while the entire crowd stood on the shore.
isv@Matthew:13:5 @ Other seeds fell on stony ground, where they did not have a lot of soil. They sprouted at once because the soil wasn't deep.
isv@Matthew:13:6 @ Butwhen the sun came up, they were scorched. Since they did not have any roots, they dried up.
isv@Matthew:13:8 @ But other seeds fell on good soil and produced a crop, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty times what was sown.
isv@Matthew:13:11 @ He answered them,“You have been given knowledge about the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but it hasn't been given to them.
isv@Matthew:13:12 @ For to anyone who has something, more will be given, and he will have more than enough. But from the one who doesn't have anything, even whathe has will be taken away from him.
isv@Matthew:13:14 @ “With them the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says:‘You will listen and listen but never understand.You will look and look but never comprehend.
isv@Matthew:13:15 @ For this people's heart has become dull,and their ears are hard of hearing. They have shut their eyesso that they might not see with their eyes,and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn,and I would heal them.’
isv@Matthew:13:16 @ “How blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear!
isv@Matthew:13:22 @ As for what was sown among the thornbushes, this is the person who hears the word, but the worries of life and the deceitful pleasures of wealth choke the word so that it can't produce a crop.
isv@Matthew:13:23 @ But as for what was sown on good soil, this is the person who hears the word, understands it, and produces a crop that yields a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown.”
isv@Matthew:13:24 @ He presented another parable to them, saying,“The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.
isv@Matthew:13:25 @ While people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.
isv@Matthew:13:26 @ When the crop came up and bore grain, the weeds appeared, too.
isv@Matthew:13:27 @ Theowner's servants came and said to him, ‘Master, you sowed good seed in your field, didn't you? Then where did these weeds come from?’
isv@Matthew:13:30 @ Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and tie them in bundles for burning, but bring the wheat into my barn.”’”
isv@Matthew:13:31 @ He presented another parable to them, saying,“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.
