Everyone will hate you because of me, but whoever holds out till the end will be preserved from harm.

"Don't suppose that I have come to bring peace to the Land. It is not peace I have come to bring, but a sword!

For I have come to set

"Oh, what can I compare this generation with? They're like children sitting in the marketplaces, calling out to each other,

`We made happy music, but you wouldn't dance! We made sad music, but you wouldn't cry!'

For Yochanan came, fasting, not drinking -- so they say, `He has a demon.'

The Son of Man came, eating freely and drinking wine -- so they say, `Aha! A glutton and a drunkard! A friend of tax-collectors and sinners!' Well, the proof of wisdom is in the actions it produces."

At this some of the Torah-teachers said, "Rabbi, we want to see a miraculous sign from you."

He replied, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign? No! None will be given to it but the sign of the prophet Yonah.

"When an unclean spirit comes out of a person, it travels through dry country seeking rest and does not find it.

Then it says to itself, `I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house standing empty, swept clean and put in order.

Other seed fell on rocky patches where there was not much soil. It sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow;

but when the sun had risen, the young plants were scorched; and since their roots were not deep, they dried up.

Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.

But others fell into rich soil and produced grain, a hundred or sixty or thirty times as much as had been sown.

Those who have ears, let them hear!"

Then the talmidim came and asked Yeshua, "Why are you speaking to them in parables?"
