<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray while standing in synagogues<n id="1" /> and on street corners so that people can see them. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;When<n id="1" /> you fast, do not look sullen like the hypocrites, for they make their faces unattractive<n id="2" /> so that people will see them fasting. I tell you the truth,<n id="3" /> they have their reward.

Whenever<n id="1" /> they persecute you in one place,<n id="2" /> flee to another. I tell you the truth,<n id="3" /> you will not finish going through all the towns<n id="4" /> of Israel before the Son of Man comes.p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> among those born of women, no one has arisen greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least<n id="2" /> in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he is.

&#8220;Woe to you, Chorazin!<n id="1" /> Woe to you, Bethsaida! If<n id="2" /> the miracles<n id="3" /> done in you had been done in Tyre<n id="4" /> and Sidon,<n id="5" /> they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> there are some standing here who will not<n id="2" /> experience<n id="3" /> death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

And I tell you that Elijah has already come. Yet they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted. In<n id="1" /> the same way, the Son of Man will suffer at their hands.&#8221;
