Part Four: The Progressive Rejection of the King (11:2-16:12)
Mat 11:2
Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,Mat 11:3
And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?Mat 11:4
Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:Mat 11:5
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.Mat 11:6
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.Mat 11:7
And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?Mat 11:8
But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.Mat 11:9
But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.Mat 11:10
For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.Mat 11:11
Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.Mat 11:12
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.Mat 11:13
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.Mat 11:14
And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.Mat 11:15
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.Mat 11:16
But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,Mat 11:17
And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.Mat 11:18
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.Mat 11:19
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.Mat 11:20
Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:Mat 11:21
Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.Mat 11:22
But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.Mat 11:23
And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.Mat 11:24
But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.Mat 11:25
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.Mat 11:26
Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.Mat 11:27
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.Mat 11:28
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Mat 11:29
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.Mat 11:30
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.Mat 12:1
At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.Mat 12:2
But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.Mat 12:3
But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;Mat 12:4
How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?Mat 12:5
Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?Mat 12:6
But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.Mat 12:7
But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.Mat 12:8
For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.Mat 12:9
And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:Mat 12:10
And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.Mat 12:11
And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?Mat 12:12
How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.Mat 12:13
Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.Mat 12:14
Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.Mat 12:15
But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;Mat 12:16
And charged them that they should not make him known:Mat 12:17
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,Mat 12:18
Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.Mat 12:19
He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.Mat 12:20
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.Mat 12:21
And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.Mat 12:22
Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.Mat 12:23
And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?Mat 12:24
But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.Mat 12:25
And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:Mat 12:26
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?Mat 12:27
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.Mat 12:28
But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.Mat 12:29
Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.Mat 12:30
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.Mat 12:31
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.Mat 12:32
And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.Mat 12:33
Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.Mat 12:34
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.Mat 12:35
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.Mat 12:36
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.Mat 12:37
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.Mat 12:38
Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.Mat 12:39
But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:Mat 12:40
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.Mat 12:41
The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.Mat 12:42
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.Mat 12:43
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.Mat 12:44
Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.Mat 12:45
Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.Mat 12:46
While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.Mat 12:47
Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.Mat 12:48
But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?Mat 12:49
And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!Mat 12:50
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.Mat 13:1
The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.Mat 13:2
And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.Mat 13:3
And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;Mat 13:4
And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:Mat 13:5
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:Mat 13:6
And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.Mat 13:7
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:Mat 13:8
But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.Mat 13:9
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.Mat 13:10
And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?Mat 13:11
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.Mat 13:12
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.Mat 13:13
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.Mat 13:14
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:Mat 13:15
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.Mat 13:16
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.Mat 13:17
For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.Mat 13:18
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.Mat 13:19
When any one 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 way side.Mat 13:20
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;Mat 13:21
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.Mat 13:22
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.Mat 13:23
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 an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.Mat 13:24
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:Mat 13:25
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.Mat 13:26
But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.Mat 13:27
So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?Mat 13:28
He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?Mat 13:29
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.Mat 13:30
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.Mat 13:31
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:Mat 13:32
Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.Mat 13:33
Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.Mat 13:34
All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:Mat 13:35
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.Mat 13:36
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.Mat 13:37
He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;Mat 13:38
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;Mat 13:39
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.Mat 13:40
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.Mat 13:41
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;Mat 13:42
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.Mat 13:43
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.Mat 13:44
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.Mat 13:45
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:Mat 13:46
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.Mat 13:47
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:Mat 13:48
Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.Mat 13:49
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,Mat 13:50
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.Mat 13:51
Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.Mat 13:52
Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.Mat 13:53
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.Mat 13:54
And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?Mat 13:55
Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?Mat 13:56
And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?Mat 13:57
And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.Mat 13:58
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.Mat 14:1
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,Mat 14:2
And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.Mat 14:3
For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.Mat 14:4
For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.Mat 14:5
And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.Mat 14:6
But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.Mat 14:7
Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.Mat 14:8
And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.Mat 14:9
And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.Mat 14:10
And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.Mat 14:11
And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.Mat 14:12
And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.Mat 14:13
When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.Mat 14:14
And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.Mat 14:15
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.Mat 14:16
But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.Mat 14:17
And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.Mat 14:18
He said, Bring them hither to me.Mat 14:19
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.Mat 14:20
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.Mat 14:21
And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.Mat 14:22
And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.Mat 14:23
And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.Mat 14:24
But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.Mat 14:25
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.Mat 14:26
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.Mat 14:27
But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.Mat 14:28
And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.Mat 14:29
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.Mat 14:30
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.Mat 14:31
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?Mat 14:32
And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.Mat 14:33
Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.Mat 14:34
And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.Mat 14:35
And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;Mat 14:36
And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.Mat 15:1
Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,Mat 15:2
Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.Mat 15:3
But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?Mat 15:4
For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.Mat 15:5
But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;Mat 15:6
And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.Mat 15:7
Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,Mat 15:8
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.Mat 15:9
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.Mat 15:10
And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:Mat 15:11
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.Mat 15:12
Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?Mat 15:13
But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.Mat 15:14
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.Mat 15:15
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.Mat 15:16
And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?Mat 15:17
Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?Mat 15:18
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.Mat 15:19
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:Mat 15:20
These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.Mat 15:21
Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.Mat 15:22
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.Mat 15:23
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.Mat 15:24
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.Mat 15:25
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.Mat 15:26
But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.Mat 15:27
And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.Mat 15:28
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.Mat 15:29
And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.Mat 15:30
And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:Mat 15:31
Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.Mat 15:32
Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.Mat 15:33
And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?Mat 15:34
And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.Mat 15:35
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.Mat 15:36
And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.Mat 15:37
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.Mat 15:38
And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.Mat 15:39
And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.Mat 16:1
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.Mat 16:2
He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.Mat 16:3
And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?Mat 16:4
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.Mat 16:5
And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.Mat 16:6
Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.Mat 16:7
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.Mat 16:8
Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?Mat 16:9
Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?Mat 16:10
Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?Mat 16:11
How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?Mat 16:12
Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.Mat 16:13
When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
