Jesus said to him, &#8220;Once again it is written: &#8216;<b><i>You are not to put the Lord your God to the testi>b>.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="1" />

You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have not come to abolish these things but to fulfill them.<n id="1" />

<p class="otpoetry"><b><i>He will not quarrel or cry out,i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><i><b>nor will anyone hear his voice in the streetsb>.i>p>

But he said, &#8216;No, since in gathering the weeds you may uproot the wheat with them.

But he<n id="1" /> replied, &#8220;They don&#8217;t need to go. You<n id="2" /> give them something to eat.&#8221;
