"The time is fulfilled," He said, "and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!"

"What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are-the Holy One of God!"

"Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

And immediately the man got up, picked up his mat, and walked out in front of them all. As a result, they were all astounded and glorified God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

During the high priesthood of Abiathar, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which was lawful only for the priests. And he gave some to his companions as well."

And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, "You are the Son of God!"

For whoever does the will of God is My brother and sister and mother."

He replied, "The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside, everything is expressed in parables,

You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men."

He went on to say, "You neatly set aside the commandment of God to maintain your own tradition.

But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, 'The help you would have received from me is Corban' (that is, a gift committed to God),

Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
