and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.

And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship,

in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.”

“Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized

in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins;

and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

For the promise is to you and to your children,

and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.””

“For John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit

not many days from now. You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit

has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem,

and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

“And behold, a leper came and worshipped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing,

You can make me clean.” Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying,

“I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.”

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them,

I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:

and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house;

and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.”

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing,

but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.

Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?”

to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate

and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

for this is the Law and the Prophets.”

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find;

knock, and it will be opened to you.”

“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine,

“Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye,

and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

“Judge not, that you be not judged.

For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged;

and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry

about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,

and all these things shall be added to you.”

“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other,

or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other.

You cannot serve God and mammon.”

The light of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is clear,

your whole body will be full of light.

But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.

If then the light in you is darkness: the darkness itself how great shall it be!
