Aren’t two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.

What did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? Look, those who wear fancy clothes are in the homes of kings!

Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out and it was restored, as healthy as the other.

Offspring of vipers! How are you able to say anything good, since you are evil? For the mouth speaks from what fills the heart.

I tell you that on the day of judgment, people will give an account for every worthless word they speak.

“When an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it passes through waterless places looking for rest but does not find it.

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

He presented them with another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field.

But while everyone was sleeping, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.

and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.

“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.

Meanwhile the boat, already far from land, was taking a beating from the waves because the wind was against it.

And he replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.

And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.

Then his lord called the first slave and said to him, ‘Evil slave! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me!

So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if each of you does not forgive your brother from your heart.”

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.”

Am I not permitted to do what I want with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
