“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Ministry in Galilee

Jesus was going about in all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

“Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore, whoever nullifies one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

“For I say to you that unless your righteousness far surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.

And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;

but the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness.

And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has been treated violently, and violent men take it by force.

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

And Jesus answered them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.

When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one sown with seed beside the road.

Weeds among Wheat

Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

The Mustard Seed

He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a person took and sowed in his field;

The Leaven

He spoke another parable to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three sata of flour until it was all leavened.”

and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the weeds are the sons of the evil one;

The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness,

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

Hidden Treasure

“The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells everything that he has, and buys that field.

A Costly Pearl

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls,
