Jesus Christ

You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.

For many are invited, but few are chosen.

But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.

And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”

Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her deeds.

But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

I have come to bring fire on the earth…. Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.

It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it.

If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.

Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.

Everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin.

Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?

No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse.

Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.

The people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light.
