11. I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven,

12. but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

28. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets, in God's Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside.

29. They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God's Kingdom.

23. But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next, for most certainly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel, until the Son of Man has come.

24. "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord.

25. It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul,how much more those of his household!

26. Therefore don't be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.

27. What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.

28. Don't be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

29. "Aren't two sparrows sold for an assarion coin?Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father's will,

30. but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31. Therefore don't be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.

32. Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.

33. But whoever denies me before men, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

34. "Don't think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn't come to send peace, but a sword.

24. He set another parable before them, saying,"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,

25. but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weedsalso among the wheat, and went away.

26. But when the blade sprang up and produced fruit, then the darnel weeds appeared also.

27. The servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where did these darnel weeds come from?'

28. "He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.'"The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?'

29. "But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.

30. Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"

31. He set another parable before them, saying,"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field;

32. which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches."

33. He spoke another parable to them."The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measuresof meal, until it was all leavened."

34. JESUS spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn't speak to them,

35. that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,"I will open my mouth in parables;I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world."Psalm 78:2

36. Then JESUS sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field."

37. He answered them,"He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,

38. the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.

39. The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.

40. As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.

41. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,

42. and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

43. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

44. "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

45. "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,

46. who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

47. "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,

48. which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.

49. So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous,

50. and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth."

18. I also tell you that you are Peter,and on this rockI will build my assembly, and the gates of Hadeswill not prevail against it.

19. I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven."

20. Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was JESUS the Christ.

21. From that time, JESUS began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

22. Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you."

23. But he turned, and said to Peter,"Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men."

24. Then JESUS said to his disciples,"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

25. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

26. For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

27. For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.

28. Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom."
