for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever obeys them and teaches others to do so will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

and the Pharisees,
you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

whoever does not receive
the kingdom of God like a child
will never
enter it.”
