And concerning them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:p> <p class="otpoetry">&#8216;<b><i>You will listen carefullyi>b><n id="1" /> <b><i>yet will never understand,i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>you will look closelyi>b><n id="2" /> <i><b>yet will never comprehendb>.i>p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">He gave<n id="1" /> them another parable:<n id="2" /> &#8220;The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed<n id="3" /> that a man took and sowed in his field.

<t /><p class="bodytext">He told them another parable: &#8220;The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with<n id="1" /> three measures<n id="2" /> of flour until all the dough had risen.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

Then he said to them, &#8220;Therefore every expert in the law<n id="1" /> who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his treasure what is new and old.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Do not tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.&#8221;

He told them, &#8220;It was because of your little faith. I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> if you have faith the size of<n id="2" /> a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, &#8216;Move from here to there,&#8217; and it will move; nothing<n id="3" /> will be impossible for you.&#8221;p>

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" />

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>

and said to him, &#8220;Do you hear what they are saying?&#8221; Jesus said to them, &#8220;Yes. Have you never read, &#8216;<b><i>Out of the mouths of children and nursing infants you have prepared praise for yourselfi>b>&#8217;?&#8221;<n id="1" />

Jesus<n id="1" /> answered them, &#8220;I will also ask you one question. If you answer me then I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.

<p class="bodytext">Jesus said to them, &#8220;Have you never read in the scriptures:p> <p class="otpoetry">&#8216;<i><b>The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstoneb>.i><n id="1" />p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyesi>b>&#8217;?<n id="2" />p>

And he said to them,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Do you see all these things? I tell you the truth,<n id="2" /> not one stone will be left on another.<n id="3" /> All will be torn down!&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;Who then is the faithful and wise slave,<n id="1" /> whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the other slaves<n id="2" /> their food at the proper time?

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then Jesus said to them, &#8220;This night you will all fall away because of me, for it is written:p> <p class="otpoetry">&#8216;<b><i>I will strike the shepherd,i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.i>b>&#8217;<n id="1" />p>

Then he came to the disciples and said to them, &#8220;Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is approaching, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

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>

Jesus<n id="1" /> said to them, &#8220;I tell you the truth:<n id="2" /> In the age when all things are renewed,<n id="3" /> when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging<n id="4" /> the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus<n id="1" /> answered them, &#8220;I tell you the truth,<n id="2" /> if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, &#8216;Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,&#8217; it will happen.

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!
