How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be in my
Father's house?
l0249
Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to
destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass
away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all
things be accomplished.
m0517-8/l1617
Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple,
it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a
debtor. Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple
that hath sanctified the gold? And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is
nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, he is a
debtor. Ye blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that
sanctifieth the gift? He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it,
and by all the things thereon. And he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by
it, and by him that dwelleth therein. m2316-21
Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations?
but ye have made it a den of robbers.
k1117/l1946/j0216/m2113
Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in
kings' courts.
l0725
[Of the Temple:] See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There
shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
m2402/k1302/l2106
Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in
Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father. Ye worship that which ye know not: we
worship that which we know: for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour
cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in
spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. God is
a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
j0421-4
And if thy brother sin against thee, go, shew him his fault between thee and
him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he hear thee
not, take with thee one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or
three every word may be established. And if he refuse to hear them, tell it
unto the church: and if he refuse to hear the church also, let him be unto
thee as the Gentile and the publican.
m1815-7/l1703
[John's disciples and the Pharisees: Why do John's disciples and the disciples
of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?]
Can the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as
long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. But the days
will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will
they fast in that day. No man seweth a piece of undressed cloth on an old
garment: else that which should fill it up taketh from it, the new from the
old, and a worse rent is made. And no man putteth new wine into old
wine-skins: else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine perisheth, and
the skins: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins.
k0218-22/l0533-8/m0914-7
And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build
my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will
give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt
bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on
earth shall be loosed in heaven.
m1618-9
Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as
wheat: but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not: and do thou,
when once thou hast turned again, stablish thy brethren.
[Simon: Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.]
I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, until thou shalt thrice
deny that thou knowest me.
