If you then, although you are evil,<n id="1" /> know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts<n id="2" /> to those who ask him!

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;Not everyone who says to me, &#8216;Lord, Lord,&#8217;<n id="1" /> will enter into the kingdom of heaven &#8211; only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

<t /><p class="bodytext">At that time Jesus said,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I praise<n id="2" /> you, Father, Lord<n id="3" /> of heaven and earth, because<n id="4" /> you have hidden these things from the wise<n id="5" /> and intelligent, and revealed them to little children.

And Jesus answered him,<n id="1" /> &#8220;You are blessed, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood<n id="2" /> did not reveal this to you, but my Father in heaven!

For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then <i>he will reward each person according to what he has donei>.<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;See that you do not disdain one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.

Again, I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> if two of you on earth agree about whatever you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.<n id="2" />

and said, &#8216;<b><i>For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will be united with his wife, and the two will become one fleshi>b>&#8217;?<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.

He told them, &#8220;You will drink my cup,<n id="1" /> but to sit at my right and at my left is not mine to give. Rather, it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.&#8221;p>

Then the king will say to those on his right, &#8216;Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

I<n id="1" /> tell you, from now on I will not drink of this fruit<n id="2" /> of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father&#8217;s kingdom.&#8221;

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;

He went away a second time and prayed,<n id="1" /> &#8220;My Father, if this cup<n id="2" /> cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will must be done.&#8221;

Which of the two did his father&#8217;s will?&#8221; They said, &#8220;The first.&#8221;<n id="1" /> Jesus said to them, &#8220;I tell you the truth,<n id="2" /> tax collectors<n id="3" /> and prostitutes will go ahead of you into the kingdom of God!
