Q&A

Matthew 13

10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, “Why speakest thou unto them in parables?”

11  He answered and said unto them, “Because it is given unto you to know  the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.”

12  “For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more  abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even  that he hath.”

18 “Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.”

19  “When anyone heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not,  then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in  his heart. This is he which received seed by the wayside.”

20 “But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;”

21  “Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when  tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is  offended.”

22 “He also that received seed among the thorns is he  that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness  of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.”

23 “But  he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word,  and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some  a hundred-fold, some sixty, some thirty.”

Q&A

Matthew 12

46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

47 Then one said unto him, “Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.”

48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, “Who is my mother? And who are my brethren?”

49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, “Behold my mother and my brethren!”

50 “For whomsoever shall do the will of my father that is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

Luke 14

25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,

26  “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife,  and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, even his own life also, he  cannot be my disciple.”

26 “And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.”

Q&A

Luke 10

1 After these things the Lord appointed other  seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city  and place, whither he himself would come.

2 Therefore said he unto  them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray ye  therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers  into his harvest.”

3 “Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs amongst the wolves.”

4 “Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.”

5 “And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’”

6 “And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.”

16  “He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth  me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.”

17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, “Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.”

18 And he said unto them…

20  “Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto  you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.”

21  In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, “I thank thee, O  Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from  the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so,  Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.”

22 “All things are  delivered to me of my father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the  Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the son will  reveal him.”

Q&A

Matthew 9

14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?”

15  Jesus said unto them, “Can the children of the bride chamber mourn, as  long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the  bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.”

16  “No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that  which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is  made worse.”

17 “Neither do men put new wine into old bottles:  else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles  perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.”

Q&A

Luke 9

57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the  way, a certain man said unto him, “Lord, I will follow thee whitherever  thou goest.”

58 And Jesus said unto him, “Foxes have holes, and  birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay  his head.”

59 And he said unto another, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father”.

60 And Jesus said unto him, “Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.”

61 And another also said, “Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at my house.”

62 And Jesus said unto him, “No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
