Matthew 1:16

16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah.

Matthew 1:20

20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 1:22

22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:

Matthew 2:1

1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem

Matthew 2:5

5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:

Matthew 2:8

8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”

Matthew 2:13

13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”

Matthew 2:15

15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”

Matthew 2:17

17 Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:

Matthew 2:19

19 After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt

Matthew 2:23

23 and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.

Matthew 3:1

1 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea

Matthew 3:3

3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’ ”

Matthew 3:7

7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

Matthew 3:9

9 And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

Matthew 3:14

14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”

Matthew 3:15

15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.

Matthew 3:17

17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

Matthew 4:3

3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

Matthew 4:4

4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

Matthew 4:6

6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “ ‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’ ”

Matthew 4:9

9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

Matthew 4:10

10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”

Matthew 4:14

14 to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:

Matthew 4:17

17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”

Matthew 4:18

18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.

Matthew 4:19

19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”

Matthew 5:2

2 and he began to teach them. He said:

Matthew 5:11

11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

Matthew 5:18

18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

Matthew 5:20

20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:21

21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

Matthew 5:22

22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.

Matthew 5:26

26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

Matthew 5:27

27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’

Matthew 5:28

28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Matthew 5:31

31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

Matthew 5:32

32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Matthew 5:33

33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’

Matthew 5:34

34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

Matthew 5:38

38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’

Matthew 5:39

39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.

Matthew 5:43

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor  and hate your enemy.’

Matthew 5:44

44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

Matthew 6:2

2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

Matthew 6:5

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

Matthew 6:16

16 “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

Matthew 6:25

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

Matthew 6:29

29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

Matthew 6:31

31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

Matthew 7:4

4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?

Matthew 7:21

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 7:22

22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’

Matthew 8:2

2 A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”

Matthew 8:3

3 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.

Matthew 8:4

4 Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

Matthew 8:6

6 “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.”

Matthew 8:7

7 Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?”

Matthew 8:8

8 The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

Matthew 8:9

9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

Matthew 8:10

10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.

Matthew 8:11

11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 8:13

13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment.

Matthew 8:17

17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.”

Matthew 8:19

19 Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

Matthew 8:20

20 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

Matthew 8:21

21 Another disciple said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

Matthew 8:22

22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

Matthew 8:25

25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”

Matthew 8:26

26 He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

Matthew 8:27

27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”

Matthew 8:29

29 “What do you want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?”

Matthew 8:31

31 The demons begged Jesus, “If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”

Matthew 8:32

32 He said to them, “Go!” So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water.

Matthew 9:2

2 Some men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.”

Matthew 9:3

3 At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, “This fellow is blaspheming!”

Matthew 9:4

4 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?

Matthew 9:5

5 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

Matthew 9:6

6 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.”

Matthew 9:9

9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.

Matthew 9:11

11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

Matthew 9:12

12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

Matthew 9:14

14 Then John’s disciples came and asked him, “How is it that we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?”

Matthew 9:15

15 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them? The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

Matthew 9:18

18 While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and knelt before him and said, “My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live.”

Matthew 9:21

21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”

Matthew 9:22

22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment.

Matthew 9:24

24 he said, “Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him.

Matthew 9:28

28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”“Yes, Lord,” they replied.

Matthew 9:29

29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”;

Matthew 9:33

33 And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”

Matthew 9:34

34 But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons.”

Matthew 9:37

37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

Matthew 10:2

2 These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

Matthew 10:7

7 As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’

Matthew 10:15

15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

Matthew 10:23

23 When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

Matthew 10:27

27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs.

Matthew 10:42

42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”

Matthew 11:3

3 to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”

Matthew 11:4

4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:

Matthew 11:7

7 As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind?

Matthew 11:9

9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

Matthew 11:11

11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

Matthew 11:17

17 “ ‘We played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

Matthew 11:18

18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’

Matthew 11:19

19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”

Matthew 11:22

22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

Matthew 11:24

24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

Matthew 11:25

25 At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

Matthew 12:2

2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

Matthew 12:3

3 He answered, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

Matthew 12:6

6 I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.

Matthew 12:10

10 and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus, they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

Matthew 12:11

11 He said to them, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out?

Matthew 12:13

13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other.

Matthew 12:17

17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

Matthew 12:23

23 All the people were astonished and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”

Matthew 12:24

24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.”

Matthew 12:25

25 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.

Matthew 12:31

31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

Matthew 12:32

32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

Matthew 12:36

36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.

Matthew 12:38

38 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”

Matthew 12:39

39 He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

Matthew 12:44

44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order.

Matthew 12:47

47 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.”

Matthew 12:48

48 He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?”

Matthew 12:49

49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers.

Matthew 13:3

3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed.

Matthew 13:10

10 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”

Matthew 13:14

14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: “ ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

Matthew 13:17

17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

Matthew 13:24

24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

Matthew 13:27

27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’

Matthew 13:28

28 “ ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

Matthew 13:30

30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’ ”

Matthew 13:31

31 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.

Matthew 13:35

35 So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: “I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”

Matthew 13:36

36 Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”

Matthew 13:37

37 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.

Matthew 13:51

51 “Have you understood all these things?” Jesus asked. “Yes,” they replied.

Matthew 13:52

52 He said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”

Matthew 13:54

54 Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked.

Matthew 13:55

55 “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas?

Matthew 13:57

57 And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.”

Matthew 14:2

2 and he said to his attendants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

Matthew 14:4

4 for John had been saying to him: “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

Matthew 14:15

15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

Matthew 14:16

16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

Matthew 14:17

17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

Matthew 14:18

18 “Bring them here to me,” he said.

Matthew 14:26

26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.

Matthew 14:27

27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

Matthew 14:28

28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

Matthew 14:29

29 “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

Matthew 14:31

31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”

Matthew 14:33

33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

Matthew 15:1

1 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,

Matthew 15:3

3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?

Matthew 15:4

4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’

Matthew 15:5

5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’

Matthew 15:10

10 Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand.

Matthew 15:12

12 Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”

Matthew 15:13

13 He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots.

Matthew 15:15

15 Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”

Matthew 15:16

16 “Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them.

Matthew 15:22

22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”

Matthew 15:23

23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”

Matthew 15:24

24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

Matthew 15:25

25 The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.

Matthew 15:26

26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

Matthew 15:27

27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

Matthew 15:28

28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.

Matthew 15:32

32 Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way.”

Matthew 15:33

33 His disciples answered, “Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?”

Matthew 15:34

34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”

Matthew 16:2

2 He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’

Matthew 16:6

6 “Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Matthew 16:7

7 They discussed this among themselves and said, “It is because we didn’t bring any bread.”

Matthew 16:8

8 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, “You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread?

Matthew 16:11

11 How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Matthew 16:12

12 Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Matthew 16:13

13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

Matthew 16:14

14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

Matthew 16:15

15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”

Matthew 16:17

17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.

Matthew 16:18

18 And I tell you that you are Peter,and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hadeswill not overcome it.

Matthew 16:20

20 Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

Matthew 16:22

22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”

Matthew 16:23

23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”

Matthew 16:24

24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.

Matthew 16:28

28 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

Matthew 17:4

4 Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

Matthew 17:5

5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”

Matthew 17:7

7 But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.”

Matthew 17:9

9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

Matthew 17:10

10 The disciples asked him, “Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”

Matthew 17:11

11 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things.

Matthew 17:12

12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.”

Matthew 17:13

13 Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.

Matthew 17:14

14 When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him.

Matthew 17:17

17 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.”

Matthew 17:19

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

Matthew 17:20

20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Matthew 17:22

22 When they came together in Galilee, he said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.

Matthew 17:24

24 After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?”

Matthew 17:25

25 “Yes, he does,” he replied. When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. “What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes—from their own children or from others?”

Matthew 18:1

1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

Matthew 18:3

3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 18:10

10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.

Matthew 18:13

13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off.

Matthew 18:17

17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

Matthew 18:18

18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will bebound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will beloosed in heaven.

Matthew 18:19

19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

Matthew 18:21

21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

Matthew 18:22

22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

Matthew 18:26

26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’

Matthew 18:28

28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins.He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.

Matthew 18:29

29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’

Matthew 18:32

32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to.

Matthew 19:3

3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”

Matthew 19:4

4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’

Matthew 19:5

5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?

Matthew 19:7

7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

Matthew 19:8

8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.

Matthew 19:9

9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

Matthew 19:10

10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”

Matthew 19:11

11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.

Matthew 19:14

14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Matthew 19:16

16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”

Matthew 19:17

17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”

Matthew 19:18

18 “Which ones?” he inquired. Jesus replied, “ ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony,

Matthew 19:20

20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”

Matthew 19:23

23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 19:24

24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

Matthew 19:25

25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

Matthew 19:26

26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Matthew 19:27

27 Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?”

Matthew 19:28

28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Matthew 20:4

4 He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’

Matthew 20:6

6 About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’

Matthew 20:7

7 “ ‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. “He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’

Matthew 20:8

8 “When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’

Matthew 20:12

12 ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’

Matthew 20:13

13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius?

Matthew 20:17

17 Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them,

Matthew 20:21

21 “What is it you want?” he asked. She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.”

Matthew 20:22

22 “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?”“We can,” they answered.

Matthew 20:23

23 Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”

Matthew 20:25

25 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.

Matthew 20:32

32 Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.

Matthew 20:33

33 “Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.”

Matthew 21:2

2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me.

Matthew 21:3

3 If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

Matthew 21:4

4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

Matthew 21:5

5 “Say to Daughter Zion, ‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ”

Matthew 21:10

10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”

Matthew 21:11

11 The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

Matthew 21:13

13 “It is written,” he said to them, “ ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”

Matthew 21:16

16 “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him. “Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read, “ ‘From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise’?”

Matthew 21:19

19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.

Matthew 21:20

20 When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.

Matthew 21:21

21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.

Matthew 21:23

23 Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him. “By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you this authority?”

Matthew 21:24

24 Jesus replied, “I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

Matthew 21:25

25 John’s baptism—where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or of human origin?”They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’

Matthew 21:26

26 But if we say, ‘Of human origin’—we are afraid of the people, for they all hold that John was a prophet.”

Matthew 21:27

27 So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Then he said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

Matthew 21:28

28 “What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’

Matthew 21:30

30 “Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go.

Matthew 21:31

31 “Which of the two did what his father wanted?”“The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.

Matthew 21:37

37 Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

Matthew 21:38

38 “But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’

Matthew 21:41

41 “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.”

Matthew 21:42

42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: “ ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?

Matthew 21:43

43 “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.

Matthew 21:45

45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them.

Matthew 22:1

1 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying:

Matthew 22:4

4 “Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

Matthew 22:8

8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come.

Matthew 22:12

12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.

Matthew 22:13

13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

Matthew 22:16

16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are.

Matthew 22:17

17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not?”

Matthew 22:18

18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me?

Matthew 22:20

20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”

Matthew 22:21

21 “Caesar’s,” they replied. Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

Matthew 22:23

23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.

Matthew 22:24

24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.

Matthew 22:29

29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

Matthew 22:31

31 But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you,

Matthew 22:42

42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?”“The son of David,” they replied.

Matthew 22:43

43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him ‘Lord’? For he says,

Matthew 22:44

44 “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord:“Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.” ’

Matthew 23:2

2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.

Matthew 23:3

3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.

Matthew 23:16

16 “Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’

Matthew 23:30

30 And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’

Matthew 23:36

36 Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation.

Matthew 23:39

39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

Matthew 24:2

2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

Matthew 24:3

3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

Matthew 24:4

4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.

Matthew 24:5

5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.

Matthew 24:15

15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—

Matthew 24:23

23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.

Matthew 24:26

26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.

Matthew 24:34

34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

Matthew 24:47

47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

Matthew 24:48

48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’

Matthew 25:8

8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’

Matthew 25:11

11 “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’

Matthew 25:12

12 “But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’

Matthew 25:20

20 The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’

Matthew 25:22

22 “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’

Matthew 25:24

24 “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

Matthew 25:26

26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?

Matthew 25:34

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.

Matthew 25:40

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

Matthew 25:41

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

Matthew 25:45

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

Matthew 26:1

1 When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples,

Matthew 26:3

3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

Matthew 26:5

5 “But not during the festival,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

Matthew 26:8

8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked.

Matthew 26:10

10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

Matthew 26:13

13 Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”

Matthew 26:14

14 Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests

Matthew 26:15

15 and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver.

Matthew 26:17

17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”

Matthew 26:18

18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’ ”

Matthew 26:21

21 And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”

Matthew 26:22

22 They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?”

Matthew 26:25

25 Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, “Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said so.”

Matthew 26:26

26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

Matthew 26:27

27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

Matthew 26:29

29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”

Matthew 26:31

31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “ ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

Matthew 26:33

33 Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”

Matthew 26:34

34 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”

Matthew 26:35

35 But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.

Matthew 26:36

36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

Matthew 26:38

38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

Matthew 26:39

39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

Matthew 26:40

40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter.

Matthew 26:42

42 He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”

Matthew 26:44

44 So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.

Matthew 26:45

45 Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners.

Matthew 26:48

48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.”

Matthew 26:49

49 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.

Matthew 26:50

50 Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him.

Matthew 26:52

52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

Matthew 26:55

55 In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me.

Matthew 26:61

61 and declared, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’ ”

Matthew 26:62

62 Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?”

Matthew 26:63

63 But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”

Matthew 26:64

64 “You have said so,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Matthew 26:65

65 Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.

Matthew 26:68

68 and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?”

Matthew 26:69

69 Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. “You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said.

Matthew 26:70

70 But he denied it before them all. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.

Matthew 26:71

71 Then he went out to the gateway, where another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

Matthew 26:73

73 After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, “Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away.”

Matthew 26:75

75 Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Matthew 27:4

4 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.” “What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.”

Matthew 27:6

6 The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”

Matthew 27:9

9 Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel,

Matthew 27:11

11 Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

Matthew 27:13

13 Then Pilate asked him, “Don’t you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?”

Matthew 27:16

16 At that time they had a well-known prisoner whose name was Jesus Barabbas.

Matthew 27:17

17 So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?”

Matthew 27:19

19 While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him this message: “Don’t have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.”

Matthew 27:21

21 “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they answered.

Matthew 27:22

22 “What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify him!”

Matthew 27:23

23 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”

Matthew 27:24

24 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!”

Matthew 27:25

25 All the people answered, “His blood is on us and on our children!”

Matthew 27:29

29 and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said.

Matthew 27:33

33 They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”).

Matthew 27:40

40 and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”

Matthew 27:41

41 In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him.

Matthew 27:43

43 He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”

Matthew 27:46

46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,lemasabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).

Matthew 27:47

47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”

Matthew 27:49

49 The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”

Matthew 27:54

54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”

Matthew 27:63

63 “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

Matthew 27:64

64 So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first.”

Matthew 28:5

5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

Matthew 28:6

6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.

Matthew 28:7

7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

Matthew 28:9

9 Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.

Matthew 28:10

10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

Matthew 28:13

13 telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’

Matthew 28:18

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
