New International Version (1984) Help
12Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.G1722G3739G1996G3461G3793G5620G2662G240G756G3004G4314G846G3101G4412G4337G1438G575G2219G5330G3748G2076G52722There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.G1161G2076G3762G4780G3739G601G3756G601G2532G2927G3739G1097G3756G10973What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.G473G3739G3745G2036G1722G4653G191G1722G5457G2532G3739G2980G4314G3775G1722G5009G2784G1909G14304"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.G1161G3004G5213G3450G5384G5399G3361G5399G575G615G4983G2532G3326G5023G2192G3361G5100G4055G41605But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.G1161G5263G5213G5101G5399G5399G3326G615G2192G1849G1685G1519G1067G3483G3004G5213G5399G51266Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.G4453G3780G4002G4765G4453G1417G787G2532G3756G1520G1537G846G2076G1950G1799G23167Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.G235G2532G2359G5216G2776G705G3956G705G5399G3361G3767G1308G4183G47658"I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God.G1161G3004G5213G3956G3739G302G3670G1722G1698G1715G444G1722G846G3670G5207G444G2532G3670G1715G32G23169But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God.G1161G720G3165G1799G444G533G1799G32G231610And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.G2532G3956G3739G2046G3056G1519G5207G444G863G846G1161G987G1519G40G4151G863G3756G86311"When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say,G1161G3752G4374G5209G1909G4864G2532G746G2532G1849G3309G3361G3309G4459G2228G5101G626G2228G5101G203612for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say."G1063G40G4151G1321G5209G1722G846G5610G3739G1163G203613Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."G1161G5100G1537G3793G2036G846G1320G2036G3450G80G3307G2817G3326G170014Jesus replied, "Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?"G1161G2036G846G444G5101G2525G3165G1348G2228G3312G1909G520915Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."G1161G2036G4314G846G3708G2532G5442G575G4124G3754G5100G846G2222G2076G3756G1722G4052G1537G846G522416And he told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop.G1161G2036G3850G4314G846G3004G5561G5100G4145G444G216417He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.'G2532G1260G1722G1438G3004G5101G4160G3754G2192G3756G4226G4863G3450G259018"Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.G2532G2036G5124G4160G2507G3450G596G2532G3618G3187G2532G1563G4863G3956G3450G1081G2532G3450G1819And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." 'G2532G2046G3450G5590G5590G2192G4183G18G2749G1519G4183G2094G373G5315G4095G216520"But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'G1161G2316G2036G846G878G5026G3571G4675G5590G523G575G4675G1161G5101G2071G3739G209021"This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God."G3779G2343G1438G2532G4147G3361G4147G1519G231622Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.G1161G2036G4314G846G3101G1223G5124G3004G5213G3309G3361G3309G5216G5590G5101G5315G3366G4983G5101G174623Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.G5590G2076G4119G5160G2532G4983G174224Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!G2657G2876G3754G3756G4687G3761G2325G3739G3756G2076G5009G3761G596G2532G2316G5142G846G4214G3123G1308G5210G1308G407125Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?G1161G5101G1537G5216G3309G1410G4369G1909G846G2244G1520G408326Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?G1487G3767G1410G3777G1410G1646G5101G3309G4012G306227"Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.G2657G2918G4459G837G2872G3756G3514G3761G1161G3004G5213G4672G1722G3956G846G1391G4016G3761G4016G5613G1520G513028If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!G1487G1161G2316G3779G294G5528G5607G4594G1722G68G2532G839G906G1519G2823G4214G3123G5209G364029And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it.G2532G2212G3361G5210G5101G5315G2228G5101G4095G2532G3361G334930For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them.G1063G3956G5023G1934G1484G2889G1934G1161G5216G3962G1492G3754G5535G513031But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.G4133G2212G932G2316G2532G3956G5023G4369G521332"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.G5399G3361G3398G4168G3754G2106G5216G3962G2106G1325G5213G93233Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.G4453G5216G5224G2532G1325G1654G4160G1438G905G3822G3361G3822G2344G1722G3772G413G3699G3756G2812G1448G3761G4597G131134For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.G1063G3699G5216G2344G2076G1563G2071G5216G2588G2071G253235"Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning,G2077G5216G3751G2077G4024G2532G3088G254536like men waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.G2532G5210G3664G444G4327G1438G2962G4219G360G1537G1062G2443G2064G2532G2925G455G846G211237It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. I tell you the truth, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them.G3107G1565G1401G3739G2962G2064G2147G1127G281G3004G5213G3754G4024G2532G347G846G347G2532G3928G1247G84638It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night.G2532G1437G2064G1722G1208G5438G2532G2064G1722G5154G5438G2532G2147G3779G3107G1526G1565G140139But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.G1161G5124G1097G3754G1487G3617G1492G4169G5610G2812G2064G302G1127G2532G302G3756G863G846G3624G135840You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."G1096G5210G3767G2092G2532G3754G3739G5207G444G2064G5610G1380G375641Peter asked, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?"G1161G4074G2036G846G2962G3004G5026G3850G4314G2248G2228G2532G4314G395642The Lord answered, "Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time?G1161G2962G2036G5101G686G2076G4103G2532G5429G3623G3739G2962G2525G1909G846G2322G1325G4620G1722G254043It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns.G3107G1565G1401G3739G846G2962G2064G2147G3779G416044I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.G230G3004G5213G3754G846G2525G1909G3956G846G522445But suppose the servant says to himself, 'My master is taking a long time in coming,' and he then begins to beat the menservants and maidservants and to eat and drink and get drunk.G1161G1437G1565G1401G2036G1722G846G2588G3450G2962G5549G2064G2532G756G5180G3816G2532G3814G5037G2068G2532G4095G2532G318246The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.G2962G1565G1401G2240G1722G2250G3739G4328G3756G4328G2532G1722G5610G3739G1097G3756G1097G2532G1371G846G1371G2532G5087G846G3313G3326G57147"That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows.G1161G1565G1401G3588G1097G1438G2962G2307G2532G2090G3361G3366G4160G4314G846G2307G1194G418348But 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.G1161G1097G3361G1161G4160G514G4127G1194G3641G1161G3739G3956G4183G1325G3844G846G4183G2212G2532G3739G3908G4183G846G154G405549"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!G2064G906G4442G1519G1093G2532G5101G2309G1487G381G2235G38150But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed!G1161G2192G908G907G2532G4459G4912G2193G3739G505551Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.G1380G3754G3854G1325G1515G1722G1093G3004G5213G3780G235G2228G126752From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three.G1063G575G3568G2071G4002G1722G1520G3624G1266G5140G1909G1417G2532G1417G1909G514053They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."G3962G1266G1909G5207G2532G5207G1909G3962G3384G1909G2364G2532G2364G1909G3384G3994G1909G846G3565G2532G3565G1909G846G399454He said to the crowd: "When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, 'It's going to rain,' and it does.G1161G3004G2532G3793G3752G1492G3507G393G575G1424G2112G3004G2064G3655G2532G3779G109655And when the south wind blows, you say, 'It's going to be hot,' and it is.G2532G3752G3558G4154G3004G3754G2071G2742G2532G109656Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don't know how to interpret this present time?G5273G1492G1381G4383G3772G2532G1093G1161G4459G3756G1381G5126G254057"Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right?G1161G5101G2532G575G1438G2919G3756G134258As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled to him on the way, or he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.G5613G1063G5217G3326G4675G476G1909G758G1722G3598G1325G2039G525G575G846G3379G2694G4571G4314G2923G2532G2923G3860G4571G4233G2532G4233G906G4571G1519G543859I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny."G3004G4671G1831G3364G1831G1564G2532G2193G3739G591G2078G3016
