God bless the coming kingdom of our ancestor David. Hooray for God in heaven above!"

Jesus told his disciples: Have faith in God!

If you have faith in God and don't doubt, you can tell this mountain to get up and jump into the sea, and it will.

Who gave John the right to baptize? Was it God in heaven or merely some human being?"

They thought it over and said to each other, "We can't say that God gave John this right. Jesus will ask us why we didn't believe John.

They went to him and said, "Teacher, we know that you are honest. You treat everyone with the same respect, no matter who they are. And you teach the truth about what God wants people to do. Tell us, should we pay taxes to the Emperor or not?"

Then Jesus told them, "Give the Emperor what belongs to him and give God what belongs to God." The men were amazed at Jesus.

When God raises people from death, whose wife will this woman be? After all, she had been married to all seven brothers.

Jesus answered: You are completely wrong! You don't know what the Scriptures teach. And you don't know anything about the power of God.

When God raises people to life, they won't marry. They will be like the angels in heaven.

You surely know about people being raised to life. You know that in the story about Moses and the burning bush, God said, "I am the God worshiped by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."

He isn't the God of the dead, but of the living. You Sadducees are all wrong.

Jesus answered, "The most important one says: ‘People of Israel, you have only one Lord and God.

The man replied, "Teacher, you are certainly right to say there is only one God.

It is also true that we must love God with all our heart, mind, and strength, and that we must love others as much as we love ourselves. These commandments are more important than all the sacrifices and offerings that we could possibly make."

This will be the worst time of suffering since God created the world, and nothing this terrible will ever happen again.

Jesus picked up a cup of wine and gave thanks to God. He gave it to his disciples, and they all drank some.

Then he said, "This is my blood, which is poured out for many people, and with it God makes his agreement.

But Jesus kept quiet and did not say a word. The high priest asked him another question, "Are you the Messiah, the Son of the glorious God?"

"Yes, I am!" Jesus answered. "Soon you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right side of God All-Powerful, and coming with the clouds of heaven."
