“Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. … He was Transfigured before them … His clothes became dazzling white …. Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus. … [A] cloud came … from the cloud came a Voice, ‘This is My Beloved Son. Listen to Him.’ …”
“… ‘Do not work for food that perishes but for the Food that Endures for Eternal Llife, which the Son of Man will give you. …’ … ‘I am the Bread of Life; whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.'”
“‘The Kingdom of Heaven is like a net thrown into the sea, which collects fish of every kind. When it is full they haul it ashore and sit down to put what is good into buckets. What is bad they throw away. Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.’ …”
“‘The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. … [or] like [when] a merchant … finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.'”
“‘He who sows good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world, the good seed the children of the Kingdom. ,.. The Son of Man will send His Angels, and they will collect out of His Kingdom all who cause others to sin and all evildoers. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. …'”
“… blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear. Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”
“Jesus … said, ‘You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and the great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant. … the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
“… People were coming and going in great numbers, and they had no opportunity even to eat. So they went off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place. People … hastened there on foot from all the towns and arrived … before them. When He disembarked and saw the vast crowd, His heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things.”
“Woe to those who plan iniquity, and work out evil on their couches; In the morning light they accomplish it when it lies within their power. They covet fields, and seize them; houses, and they take them; They cheat an owner of his house, a man of his inheritance. Therefore thus says the LORD: Behold, I am planning against this race an evil
from which you shall not withdraw your necks; Nor shall you walk with head high, for it will be a time of evil. …”
“Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits. He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick — no food, no sack, no money in their belts. …
Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you, leave there and shake the dust off your feet in testimony against them.’ … they went off and preached repentance. … drove out many demons… and cured [the sick] ….”
