Jesus looked at them and said, "For people this is impossible, but for God all things are possible."

The people were walking ahead of Jesus and behind him, shouting, "Praise God! God bless the One who comes in the name of the Lord! Psalm 118:26

God bless the kingdom of our father David! That kingdom is coming! Praise to God in heaven!"

Jesus answered, "Have faith in God.

I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, fall into the sea.' And if you have no doubts in your mind and believe that what you say will happen, God will do it for you.

So I tell you to believe that you have received the things you ask for in prayer, and God will give them to you.

Tell me: When John baptized people, was that authority from God or just from other people?"

They argued about Jesus' question, saying, "If we answer, ‘John's baptism was from God,' Jesus will say, ‘Then why didn't you believe him?'

Then Jesus said to them, "Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and give to God the things that are God's." The men were amazed at what Jesus said.

Surely you have read what God said about people rising from the dead. In the book in which Moses wrote about the burning bush, it says that God told Moses, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

Jesus answered, "The most important command is this: ‘Listen, people of Israel! The Lord our God is the only Lord.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.'

The man answered, "That was a good answer, Teacher. You were right when you said God is the only Lord and there is no other God besides him.

One must love God with all his heart, all his mind, and all his strength. And one must love his neighbor as he loves himself. These commands are more important than all the animals and sacrifices we offer to God."

When Jesus saw that the man answered him wisely, Jesus said to him, "You are close to the kingdom of God." And after that, no one was brave enough to ask Jesus any more questions.

God has decided to make that terrible time short. Otherwise, no one would go on living. But God will make that time short to help the people he has chosen.

False Christs and false prophets will come and perform great wonders and miracles. They will try to fool even the people God has chosen, if that is possible.
