But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others?] do not even the publicans so?

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

For whether is easier, to say, [Thy] sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

And when the Pharisees saw [it,] they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft [clothing] are in kings' houses.

But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift [it] out?

And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast [them] out? therefore they shall be your judges.

But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

And immediately Jesus stretched forth [his] hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

Then Jesus called his disciples [unto him,] and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

[Which] when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?

Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is,] God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

When his disciples heard [it,] they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
