Clean

Matthew 8:
1When he came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him;  2and behold, a leper came to him and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, if you will, you can make me clean."  3And he stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, "I will; be clean." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4And Jesus said to him, "See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof to the people."

bar jona

Matthew 16:13Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesare'a Philip'pi, he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that the Son of man is?"  14And they said, "Some say John the Baptist, others say Eli'jah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."  15He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" 16Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."  17And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.  18And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.  19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

Fruits

Matthew 7:
15"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.  16You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? 17So, every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit.  18A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.  19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.  20Thus you will know them by their fruits.

Narrow gate

Matthew 6:
6"Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot and turn to attack you.  12So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.  13"Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.  14For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

Log

1"Judge not, that you be not judged.  2For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get.  3Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?  4Or how can you say to your brother, `Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye?  5You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

Sparrows

Matthew 10:
26"So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.  27What I tell you in the dark, utter in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim upon the housetops.  28And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.  29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will.  30But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.  31Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.  32So every one who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; 33but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.

John

Luke 1:
57Now the time came for Elizabeth to be delivered, and she gave birth to a son.  58And her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.  59And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they would have named him Zechari'ah after his father,  60but his mother said, "Not so; he shall be called John."  61And they said to her, "None of your kindred is called by this name."  62And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he would have him called.  63And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they all marveled.  64And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.  65And fear came on all their neighbors. And all these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea;  66and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, "What then will this child be?" For the hand of the Lord was with him.  80And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness till the day of his manifestation to Israel.

Babes

Matthew 11:
25At that time Jesus declared, "I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes;  26yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will.  27All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.  28Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Forgive

Matthew 6:
7"And in praying do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their many words.  8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.  9Pray then like this: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. 11Give us this day our daily bread; 12And forgive us our debts, As we also have forgiven our debtors; 13And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. 14For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you;  15but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Secret

Matthew 6:
1"Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.  2"Thus, when you give alms, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.  3But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,  4so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.  5"And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.  6But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.  16"And when you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 17But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,  18that your fasting may not be seen by men but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Perfect

Matthew 5:
43"You have heard that it was said, `You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'  44But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,  45so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.  46For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?  47And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?  48You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

2,miles

Matthew 5:
38"You have heard that it was said, `An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'  39But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also;  40and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well;  41and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.  42Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you.

Bread of life

John 6:
51I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh."  52The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"  53So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you;  54he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.  55For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.  56He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.  57As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.  58This is the bread which came down from heaven, not such as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live for ever."

Yes no

Matthew 5:
33"Again you have heard that it was said to the men of old, `You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.'  34But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God,  35or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.  36And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37Let what you say be simply `Yes' or `No'; anything more than this comes from evil.

Make friends

Matthew 5:
20For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.  21"You have heard that it was said to the men of old, `You shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be liable to judgment.'  22But I say to you that every one who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother shall be liable to the council, and whoever says, `You fool!' shall be liable to the hell of fire.  23So if you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,  24leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25Make friends quickly with your accuser, while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison;  26truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny.

Law

Matthew 5:
17"Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them.  18For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished.  19Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Preach

Mark 16:
15And he said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.  16He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.  17And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;  18they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover."  19So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.  20And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it. Amen.

Beatitudes

Matthew 5:
1Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to him. 2And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:  3"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  4"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.  5"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.  6"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.  7"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. 8"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.  9"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.  10"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  11"Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.  12Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Believe

John 3:
16For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.  17For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.  18He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Widow

Mark 12:
38And in his teaching he said, "Beware of the scribes, who like to go about in long robes, and to have salutations in the market places  39and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,  40who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."  41And he sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the multitude putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums.  42And a poor widow came, and put in two copper coins, which make a penny.  43And he called his disciples to him, and said to them, "Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury.  44For they all contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, her whole living."

Lord

Mark 12:
35And as Jesus taught in the temple, he said, "How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?  36David himself, inspired by the Holy Spirit, declared, `The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put thy enemies under thy feet.' 37David himself calls him Lord; so how is he his son?" And the great throng heard him gladly.

1st Commandment

Mark 12:
28And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the first of all?"  29Jesus answered, "The first is, `Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one;  30and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.'  31The second is this, `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."  32And the scribe said to him, "You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that he is one, and there is no other but he;  33and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."  34And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And after that no one dared to ask him any question.

7 husbands

Mark 12:
18And Sad'ducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him a question, saying,  19"Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the wife, and raise up children for his brother.  20There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no children;  21and the second took her, and died, leaving no children; and the third likewise;  22and the seven left no children. Last of all the woman also died.  23In the resurrection whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife." 24Jesus said to them, "Is not this why you are wrong, that you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God?  25For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.  26And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, `I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?  27He is not God of the dead, but of the living; you are quite wrong."

Caesar

Mark 12:
13And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Hero'di-ans, to entrap him in his talk.  14And they came and said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are true, and care for no man; for you do not regard the position of men, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?  15Should we pay them, or should we not?" But knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, "Why put me to the test? Bring me a coin, and let me look at it."  16And they brought one. And he said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" They said to him, "Caesar's."  17Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they were amazed at him.

Landlord

1And he began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a pit for the wine press, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country.  2When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.  3And they took him and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.  4Again he sent to them another servant, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully. 5And he sent another, and him they killed; and so with many others, some they beat and some they killed.  6He had still one other, a beloved son; finally he sent him to them, saying, `They will respect my son.'  7But those tenants said to one another, `This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'  8And they took him and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. 9What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants, and give the vineyard to others.  10Have you not read this scripture: `The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; 11this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?" 12And they tried to arrest him, but feared the multitude, for they perceived that he had told the parable against them; so they left him and went away.

Send

John 20:
19On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."  20When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.  21Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you."  22And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.  23If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."

Books

John 21:
20Peter turned and saw following them the disciple whom Jesus loved, who had lain close to his breast at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?"  21When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"  22Jesus said to him, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? Follow me!"  23The saying spread abroad among the brethren that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?"  24This is the disciple who is bearing witness to these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his testimony is true. 25But there are also many other things which Jesus did; were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

Feed

John 21:
15When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."  16A second time he said to him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."  17He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.  18Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you girded yourself and walked where you would; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish to go."  19(This he said to show by what death he was to glorify God.) And after this he said to him, "Follow me."

One

John 17:
20"I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word,  21that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.  22The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,  23I in them and thou in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them even as thou hast loved me.  24Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, to behold my glory which thou hast given me in thy love for me before the foundation of the world.  25O righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee; and these know that thou hast sent me.  26I made known to them thy name, and I will make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them."
