And he said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.

And after taking them into his arms, he blessed them, placing his hands on them.

And as he was setting out on his way, one individual ran up and knelt down before him and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do so that I will inherit eternal life?"

And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How difficult it is for those who possess wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!"

And the disciples were astounded at his words. But Jesus answered and said to them again, "Children, how difficult it is to enter into the kingdom of God!

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

And they came to Jericho. And as he was setting out from Jericho along with his disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar, Bartimaeus the son of Timaeus, was sitting beside the road.

And he threw off his cloak, jumped up, and came to Jesus.

And Jesus said to him, "Go, your faith has healed you." And immediately he regained his sight and began to follow him on the road.

And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples

And he responded and said to it, "Let no one eat fruit from you any more forever!" And his disciples heard it.

And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and began considering how they could destroy him. For they were afraid of him because the whole crowd was astounded by his teaching.

Truly I say to you that whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea!' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

The Triumphal Entry And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples and said to them, "Go into the village before you, and right away as you enter into it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?' say ‘The Lord has need of it, and will send it here again at once.'" And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. And some of those who were standing there said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?" So they told them, just as Jesus had said, and they allowed them to take it. And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and he sat on it. And many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches they had cut from the fields. And those who went ahead and those who were following were shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest heaven!" And he went into Jerusalem to the temple, and after looking around at everything, because the hour was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve. And on the next day as they were departing from Bethany, he was hungry. And when he saw from a distance a fig tree that had leaves, he went to see if perhaps he would find anything on it. And when he came up to it he found nothing except leaves, because it was not the season for figs. And he responded and said to it, "Let no one eat fruit from you any more forever!" And his disciples heard it. And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered into the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple courts, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who were selling doves. And he did not permit anyone to carry objects through the temple courts. And he began to teach and was saying to them, "Is it not written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations,' but you have made it a cave of robbers!" And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and began considering how they could destroy him. For they were afraid of him because the whole crowd was astounded by his teaching. And when evening came they went out of the city. And as they passed by early in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. And Peter remembered and said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered!" And Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God! Truly I say to you that whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea!' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. For this reason I say to you, whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received it, and it will be done for you. And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your sins."

"Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if someone's brother dies and he leaves behind a wife and does not leave a child, that his brother should take the wife and father descendants for his brother.

David himself calls him ‘Lord,' and how is he his son?" And the large crowd was listening to him gladly.

And in his teaching he said, "Beware of the scribes, who like walking around in long robes and greetings in the marketplaces

And summoning his disciples, he said to them, "Truly I say to you that this poor widow put in more than all those who put offerings into the contribution box.

And as he was going out of the temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, "Teacher, look! What great stones and what wonderful buildings!"

And brother will hand over brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.
