God

If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.

“Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.

But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?

For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’

he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

But Jesus replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots.

The crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.

Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven.

But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me. For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”

For the Son of Man will come in His Father’s glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done.

While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him!”

See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven.

In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.

Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.

That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”

So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”

Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

“You will indeed drink My cup,” Jesus said. “But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to grant. These seats belong to those for whom My Father has prepared them.”

Then Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.
