Be careful not to make a show of your good deeds before people. If you do so, you do not gain anything from your Father in heaven.
When you give something to the poor, do not have it trumpeted before you, as do those who want to be noticed in the synagogues and in the streets,
in order to be praised by people. I assure you, they have their reward. If you give something to the poor,

After leaving that place, they made their way through Galilee; but Jesus did not want people to know where he was because he was teaching his disciples.
And he told them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him, but three days after he has been killed,
he will rise.” The disciples, however, did not understand these words and they were afraid to ask him what he meant.

When they came to the place where they had left the disciples, they saw many people around them and some teachers of the law arguing with them.
When the people saw Jesus, they were astonished and ran to greet him. He asked, “What are you arguing about with them?”
A man answered him from the crowd, “Master, I brought my son to you, for he has a spirit, deaf and mute. Whenever the spirit seizes him,
it throws him down and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth and becomes stiff all over. I asked your disciples to drive the spirit out,

You have heard, that it was said: An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I tell you this: do not oppose evil with evil;
if someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn and offer the other. If someone sues you in court for your shirt, give him your coat as well.
If someone forces you to go one mile, go two miles with him. Give when asked, and do not turn your back on anyone who wants to borrow from you.
You have heard, that it was said: Love your neighbor and do not do good to your enemy. But this I tell you: love your enemies;

After that, Jesus came to Caesarea Philippi. He asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
They said, “For some of them, you are John the Baptist; for others Elijah, or Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”
Jesus asked them, “But you, who do you say I am?”

Then Jesus called the people and his disciples, and said, “If you want to follow me, deny yourself; take up your cross and follow me.
For if you choose to save your life, you will lose it; and if you lose your life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, you will save it.
What good is it, to gain the whole world, while destroying your soul? There is nothing more precious than your soul. I tell you,

Jesus set out with his disciples for the villages around Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked them, “Who do people say I am?” And they told him,
“Some say, you are John the Baptist; others say, you are Elijah or one of the prophets.”
Then Jesus asked them, “But you, who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.” And he ordered them not to tell anyone about him.

When they came to Bethsaida, Jesus was asked to touch a blind man who was brought to him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village.
When he had put spittle on his eyes and laid his hands upon him, he asked, “Can you see anything?”
The man, who was beginning to see, replied, “I see people! They look like trees, but they move around.”

The disciples had forgotten to bring more bread, and had only one loaf with them in the boat. Then Jesus warned them, “Keep your eyes open,
and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
And they said to one another, “He saw that we have no bread.” Aware of this, Jesus asked them, “Why are you talking about the loaves you are short of?
Do you not see or understand? Are your minds closed? Have you eyes that don’t see and ears that don’t hear?

The Pharisees came and started to argue with Jesus. Hoping to embarrass him, they asked for some heavenly sign. Then his spirit was moved.
He gave a deep sigh and said, “Why do the people of this present time ask for a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this people.”
Then he left them, got into the boat again, and went to the other side of the lake.

Do not think that I have come to annul the law and the prophets. I have not come to annul them, but to fulfill them. I tell you this:
as long as heaven and earth last, not the smallest letter or dot in the law will change, until all is fulfilled. So then,
whoever breaks the least important of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be the least in the kingdom of heaven.
On the other hand, whoever obeys them, and teaches others to do the same, will be great in the kingdom of heaven. I tell you,

Soon afterward, Jesus was in the midst of another large crowd, that obviously had nothing to eat. So he called his disciples and said to them,
“I feel sorry for these people, because they have been with me for three days and now have nothing to eat. If I send them to their homes hungry,
they will faint on the way; some of them have come a long way.” His disciples replied, “Where, in a deserted place like this,

Again, Jesus set out: from the country of Tyre he passed through Sidon and, skirting the sea of Galilee, he came to the territory of Decapolis.
There, a deaf man, who also had difficulty in speaking, was brought to him. They asked Jesus to lay his hand upon him.
Jesus took him apart from the crowd, put his fingers into the man’s ears, and touched his tongue with spittle. Then, looking up to heaven,

When Jesus left that place, he went to the border of the Tyrian country. There, he entered a house, and did not want anyone to know he was there;
but he could not remain hidden. A woman, whose small daughter had an evil spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet.
Now this woman was a pagan, a Syrophoenician by birth, and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.
