Whoever is not with me is against me,<n id="1" /> and whoever does not gather with me scatters.<n id="2" />

And you will be brought before governors and kings<n id="1" /> because of me, as a witness to them and the Gentiles.

Then I will declare to them, &#8216;I never knew you. Go away from me, you lawbreakers!&#8217;<n id="1" />p>

<p class="otpoetry">&#8216;<b><i>This people honors me with their lips,i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>but their hearti>b><n id="1" /> <b><i>is far from me,i>b>p>

Then he said to them, &#8220;My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me.&#8221;

<p class="poetry">&#8220;Blessed are you when people<n id="1" /> insult you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things about you falsely<n id="2" /> on account of me.

Whoever finds his life<n id="1" /> will lose it,<n id="2" /> and whoever loses his life because of me<n id="3" /> will find it.p>

For whoever wants to save his life<n id="1" /> will lose it,<n id="2" /> but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Then he will say<n id="1" /> to those on his left, &#8216;Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels!

He<n id="1" /> answered, &#8220;The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me<n id="2" /> will betray me.

Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He<n id="1" /> said to Peter, &#8220;So, couldn&#8217;t you stay awake with me for one hour?

Take my yoke<n id="1" /> on you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

But you say, &#8216;If someone tells his father or mother, &#8220;Whatever help you would have received from me is given to God,&#8221;<n id="1" />

But he turned and said to Peter, &#8220;Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, because you are not setting your mind on God&#8217;s interests, but on man&#8217;s.&#8221;<n id="1" />

And whoever has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much<n id="1" /> and will inherit eternal life.

Going a little farther, he threw himself down with his face to the ground and prayed,<n id="1" /> &#8220;My Father, if possible,<n id="2" /> let this cup<n id="3" /> pass from me! Yet not what I will, but what you will.&#8221;

But so that we don&#8217;t offend them, go to the lake and throw out a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth, you will find a four drachma coin.<n id="1" /> Take that and give it to them for me and you.&#8221;p>
