He<n id="1" /> answered, &#8220;The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.

But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a person.

So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.&#8221;

Jesus<n id="1" /> looked at them and replied, &#8220;This is impossible for mere humans,<n id="2" /> but for God all things are possible.&#8221;

But if we say, &#8216;From people,&#8217; we fear the crowd, for they all consider John to be a prophet.&#8221;

&#8220;The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son.

But when the king came in to see the wedding guests, he saw a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.

In the same way, on the outside you look righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.p>

For just like the days of Noah<n id="1" /> were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

Therefore you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.<n id="1" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;For it is like a man going on a journey, who summoned his slaves<n id="1" /> and entrusted his property to them.

At that he began to curse, and he swore with an oath, &#8220;I do not know the man!&#8221; At that moment a rooster crowed.<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">As<n id="1" /> they were going out, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced<n id="2" /> to carry his cross.<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> when it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus.<n id="2" />

But he answered,<n id="1" /> &#8220;It is written, &#8216;<b><i>Mani>b><n id="2" /> <b><i>does not livei>b><n id="3" /> <b><i>by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of Godi>b>.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="4" />

But if you do not forgive others, your Father will not forgive you your sins.p>

In<n id="1" /> everything, treat others as you would want them<n id="2" /> to treat you,<n id="3" /> for this fulfills<n id="4" /> the law and the prophets.p>

And the men<n id="1" /> were amazed and said,<n id="2" /> &#8220;What sort of person is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him!&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Whoever, then, acknowledges<n id="1" /> me before people, I will acknowledge<n id="2" /> before my Father in heaven.

But whoever denies me before people, I will deny him also before my Father in heaven.p>
