The Lord’s Prayer

(Matthew 6:5–15)

11[One day] in a place where [Jesus] had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

2So [Jesus] told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father,[fn] hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.[fn]

3Give us each day our daily bread.

4And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.[fn]’ ”

Ask, Seek, Knock

(Matthew 7:7–12)

5Then [Jesus] said to them, “[Suppose one] of you goes to [his] friend at midnight and says ‘Friend, lend me three loaves [of bread], 6because [a] friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7And [suppose the one] inside answers ‘{Do} not bother me. [My] door {is} already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you [anything].’

8I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of [the man’s] persistence, he will get up [and] give him as much as he needs.

9So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and [the door] will be opened to you. 10For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, [the door] will be opened.

11What father among you, [if his] son asks for a fish,[fn] will give him a snake instead 12Or [if] he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more {will} [your] Father in heaven give [the] Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

A House Divided

(Matthew 12:22–30, Mark 3:20–27)

14[One day] [Jesus] was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the [man who had been] mute spoke. The crowds were amazed, 15but some of them said, “[It is] by Beelzebul,[fn] the prince of the demons, [that] He drives out demons.” 16And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Knowing their thoughts, [Jesus] said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall. 18If Satan is divided against himself, how {can} his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul. 19And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom {do} your sons drive [them] out? So then they will be your judges. 20But if I drive out demons by [the] finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21When a strong [man], fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure. 22But when [someone] stronger attacks [and] overpowers him, he takes away [the] armor in which [the man] trusted, and [then] he divides up his plunder.

23He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

An Unclean Spirit Returns

(Matthew 12:43–45)

24When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find [it]. Then it says, ‘I will return to [the] house I left.’ 25On its return, it finds [the house] swept clean and put in order. 26Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in [and] dwell there. And the final [plight] of that man is worse than the first.”

True Blessedness

27As [Jesus] was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised [her] voice [and] said “Blessed [is] the womb that bore You, and [blessed are] [the] breasts that nursed You!”

28But He replied, “Blessed rather [are] those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

The Sign of Jonah

(Jonah 3:1–10, Matthew 12:38–42)

29As the crowds were increasing, [Jesus] said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. 30For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be [a sign] to this generation.

31The Queen of [the] South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now [One] greater than Solomon [is] here. 32[The] men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now [One] greater than Jonah [is] here.

The Lamp of the Body

(Matthew 6:22–24)

33No one lights a lamp [and] puts it in a cellar [or] under a basket. Instead, [he sets it] on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

34Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good,[fn] your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad,[fn] your body [is] full of darkness. 35Be careful, then, [that] the light within you is not darkness. 36So if your [whole] body [is] full of light, [with] no part [of it] in darkness, [you] will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”

Woes to Pharisees and Experts in the Law

(Matthew 23:1–36)

37As [Jesus] was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; [so] He went in [and] reclined at the table. 38But the Pharisee was surprised to see that [Jesus] did not first wash before the meal.

39Then the Lord said “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. 40[You] fools! [Did] not the [One who] made the outside make the inside as well? 41But give [as] alms the things that are within [you], and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42Woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced [the latter] without neglecting [the former].

43Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces. 44Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, [which] men walk over without [even] noticing.”

45One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46“Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “For you weigh men down [with] heavy burdens but you yourselves will not lift a finger {to lighten} [their] load.

47Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but [it was] your fathers [who] killed them. 48So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed [the prophets], and you build [their tombs]. 49Because of this the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; [some] of them they will kill and [others] they will persecute.’

50As a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since [the] foundation of [the] world, 51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary.[fn] Yes, I tell you, [ all of ] it will be charged to this generation.

52Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”

53As [Jesus] went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose [Him] bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things, 54waiting to catch Him in something He might say
