What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light, and what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.

While they were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

He will not break a bruised reed or extinguish a smoldering wick, until he brings justice to victory.

Then it says, ‘I will return to the home I left.’ When it returns, it finds the house empty, swept clean, and put in order.

And such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat to sit while the whole crowd stood on the shore.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea that caught all kinds of fish.

When it was full, they pulled it ashore, sat down, and put the good fish into containers and threw the bad away.

Now when Jesus heard this he went away from there privately in a boat to an isolated place. But when the crowd heard about it, they followed him on foot from the towns.

And after he sent the crowds away, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.

When he left there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up a mountain, where he sat down.

and said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn around and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven!

Then Peter came to him and said, “Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother who sins against me? As many as seven times?”

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you the truth, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven!

Again I say, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God.”

“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
