Now while Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper,

“Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, in terrible anguish.”

People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.

As Jesus was having a meal in Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Jesus and his disciples.

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

The rain fell, the flood came, and the winds beat against that house, but it did not collapse because it had been founded on rock.

The rain fell, the flood came, and the winds beat against that house, and it collapsed; it was utterly destroyed!”

And if the house is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

Now when Jesus realized what they were thinking, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is destroyed, and no town or house divided against itself will stand.
