Isus poučava o molitvi

(Mt 6,9-15)

11 Jednom je Isus molio na nekome mjestu. Kad je završio s molitvom, jedan od učenika mu je rekao: »Gospodine, nauči nas kako moliti! I Ivan je naučio svoje učenike.«

Stoga, Isus im je rekao: »Kad molite, ovako molite:

‘Oče, neka se sveti tvoje ime!
    Neka dođe tvoje Kraljevstvo!
Kruh naš svagdašnji daj nam svaki dan!
I oprosti nam naše grijehe,
    jer i mi opraštamo svim svojim dužnicima!
I ne daj da budemo kušani!’«

Snaga molitve

(Mt 7,7-11)

Zatim im je rekao: »Uzmimo da netko od vas ima prijatelja koji dođe k njemu usred noći i kaže: ‘Prijatelju, daj mi tri kruha! Svratio mi je jedan prijatelj, a ja mu nemam što ponuditi.’ A čovjek mu iznutra odgovori: ‘Nemoj me gnjaviti! Vrata su već zaključana. Djeca i ja smo u krevetu. Ne mogu ustati da ti išta dam.’ Kažem vam, ako taj čovjek i ne ustane zbog prijateljstva i dâ vam što tražite, ustat će zbog vaše upornosti i dati vam koliko vam je potrebno. I zato vam kažem: molite i dat će vam se! Tražite i naći ćete! Kucajte i otvorit će vam se! 10 Jer, svatko tko moli—prima, tko traži—nalazi, a tko kuca—otvara mu se. 11 Ima li tko od vas sina? Što bi otac učinio kad bi ga sin zamolio ribu? Bi li mu dao zmiju? 12 A ako bi ga sin zamolio jaje, bi li mu otac dao škorpiona? 13 Znači, ako vi, zli kakvi jeste, znate davati dobre darove svojoj djeci, to više nebeski Otac daje Svetog Duha onima koji ga mole.«

Isusova moć je od Boga

(Mt 12,22-30; Mk 3,20-27)

14 Jednom je Isus istjerivao zloga duha iz nijemog čovjeka. Čim je zao duh izašao, čovjek je progovorio. Ljudi su ostali zadivljeni. 15 No neki su rekli: »On istjeruje zle duhove uz pomoć Sotone[a], vladara zlih duhova.«

16 Drugi su ga opet željeli iskušati i zatražili su od njega znak s Neba. 17 Ali Isus je znao što misle pa im je rekao: »Svako će kraljevstvo, koje je podijeljeno unutar sebe, propasti. I podijeljena će se obitelj raspasti. 18 Ako je Sotona podijeljen u sebi, kako se njegovo kraljevstvo može održati? Vi kažete da ja istjerujem zle duhove uz pomoć Sotone. 19 No ako ja istjerujem zle duhove uz njegovu pomoć, uz čiju ih pomoć istjeruju vaši učenici? Tako oni sami dokazuju da imate krivo. 20 Ipak, ako ja Božjom silom istjerujem zle duhove, onda je jasno da je Božje kraljevstvo stiglo k vama.

21 Dok snažan čovjek, potpuno naoružan, čuva svoju kuću, njegov je imetak siguran. 22 Ali ako ga tko jači od njega napadne i svlada, oduzet će mu oružje u koje se uzdao, a plijen će razdijeliti.

23 Tko nije uz mene, taj je protiv mene. A onaj tko sa mnom ne skuplja, taj rasipa.«

Povratak zlih duhova

(Mt 12,43-45)

24 »Kad nečisti duh izađe iz čovjeka, luta bezvodnim predjelima tražeći mir. A kad ga ne nađe, kaže: ‘Vratit ću se kući iz koje sam otišao.’ 25 Vrati se i nađe kuću pometenu i uređenu. 26 Onda ode i dovede sedam zlih duhova, još gorih od sebe, i svi uđu u čovjeka i tamo se nastane. Tako čovjekovo konačno stanje postane gore od prijašnjega.«

Blagoslovljeni ljudi

27 Dok je Isus ovako govorio, javila se neka žena iz gomile i rekla mu: »Blagoslovljena utroba majke koja te nosila i prsa koja su te dojila!«

28 A on joj je odvratio: »Blagoslovljeniji su oni koji slušaju Božje učenje i izvršavaju ga!«

Opomena nevjernom naraštaju

(Mt 12,38-42; Mk 8,12)

29 Kako se narod sve više skupljao, počeo je govoriti: »Ovaj je naraštaj zao; traži znak, ali neće dobiti nikakav znak, osim znaka proroka Jone[b]. 30 Jer, kako je Jona bio znak Ninivljanima, tako će Sin Čovječji biti znak ovom naraštaju. 31 Kraljica Juga[c] će na Sudu ustati protiv ljudi ovog naraštaja i osudit će ih jer je ona došla s kraja zemlje da čuje Salomonovu mudrost, a evo, ovdje je netko veći od Salomona, a vi ne želite slušati. 32 Ninivljani će ustati na Sudu protiv ljudi ovog naraštaja i osudit će ih jer su se obratili na Jonino propovijedanje, a evo, ovdje je netko veći od Jone, a vi ne želite slušati.«

Budite svjetlo svijetu!

(Mt 5,15; 6,22-23)

33 »Nitko ne pali svjetiljku pa je stavlja na skriveno mjesto ili pod posudu. Naprotiv, stavlja je na postolje, tako da oni koji ulaze mogu vidjeti svjetlo. 34 Tvoje je oko svjetiljka tvojemu tijelu. Ako ti je oko dobronamjerno[d], sav si ispunjen svjetlošću, ali ako ti je oko zlonamjerno[e], ispunjen si tamom. 35 Zato pazi dobro da svjetlo u tebi ne bude tama! 36 Ako ti je, dakle, cijelo tijelo ispunjeno svjetlom i ni jedan njegov dio nije u tami, onda će sve biti u svjetlu kao kad te obasjava svjetlost svjetiljke.«

Isus opominje religiozne vođe

(Mt 23,1-36; Mk 12,38-40; Lk 20,45-47)

37 Kad je Isus završio svoj govor, neki ga je farizej pozvao na objed. Isus je ušao u njegovu kuću i smjestio se za stol. 38 A farizej ga je promatrao i zapanjio se što prije jela nije oprao ruke. 39 Gospodin mu je rekao: »Vi farizeji čistite izvana zdjelu i čašu, ali iznutra ste puni pohlepe i zla. 40 Bezumnici! Nije li onaj koji je stvorio ono izvana stvorio i ono iznutra? 41 Ali obratite pozornost na ono što je unutra. Dajte siromašnima, pa ćete biti potpuno čisti. 42 Ali jao vama, farizeji, jer dajete desetinu i od metvice, rutvice i svih drugih trava, a zanemarujete pravdu i ljubav prema Bogu. To ste trebali činiti, a ono prvo ne zanemariti. 43 Jao vama, farizeji, jer volite najbolja mjesta u sinagogama i pozdrave pune poštovanja na trgovima! 44 Jao vama, jer ste kao neobilježeni grobovi po kojima ljudi gaze, a da i ne znaju!«

45 Tada mu je jedan učitelj Zakona odgovorio: »Učitelju, to što govoriš vrijeđa i nas.«

46 »Jao vama, učitelji Zakona—rekao mu je Isus—jer stavljate na ljude težak teret, a sami nećete ni prstom maknuti! 47 Jao vama, jer gradite grobnice prorocima, a vaši su ih preci ubili! 48 Time svjedočite da odobravate djela svojih predaka jer su oni ubili proroke, a vi im gradite grobnice. 49 Zbog toga je i rekla Božja mudrost: ‘Poslat ću im proroke i apostole; neke će od njih ubiti, a neke će progoniti.’ 50 Zato će ljudi ovog naraštaja biti kažnjeni za prolivenu krv svih proroka od početka svijeta: 51 od Abela do Zaharije,[f] čiju su krv prolili ubivši ga na putu od žrtvenika do Hrama. Da, kažem vam, ljudi ovog naraštaja platit će za to.

52 Jao vama, učitelji Zakona, jer ste sakrili ključ znanja. Vi sami niste ga stekli, a spriječili ste u tome one koji su ga pokušavali steći.«

53 Kad je Isus napustio kuću, učitelji Zakona i farizeji počeli su navaljivati na njega i zasipati ga mnogim pitanjima. 54 Nastojali su ga uhvatiti u zamku njegovim riječima.

11 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

Give us day by day our daily bread.

And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.

15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.

16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.

17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.

18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.

19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.

25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.

46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.

49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:

54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

The Model Prayer(A)

11 Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”

So He said to them, “When you pray, say:

(B)Our[a] Father [b]in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
[c]Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
And (C)forgive us our sins,
For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation,
[d]But deliver us from the evil one.”

A Friend Comes at Midnight

And He said to them, “Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; and he will answer from within and say, ‘Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you’? I say to you, (D)though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.

Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking(E)

(F)“So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; (G)seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 (H)If a son asks for [e]bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give (I)good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

A House Divided Cannot Stand(J)

14 (K)And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the multitudes marveled. 15 But some of them said, (L)“He casts out demons by [f]Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”

16 Others, testing Him, (M)sought from Him a sign from heaven. 17 (N)But (O)He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls. 18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub. 19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20 But if I cast out demons (P)with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 (Q)When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. 22 But (R)when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his [g]spoils. 23 (S)He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

An Unclean Spirit Returns(T)

24 (U)“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ 25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. 26 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and (V)the last state of that man is worse than the first.”

Keeping the Word

27 And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, (W)“Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!”

28 But He said, (X)“More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

Seeking a Sign(Y)

29 (Z)And while the crowds were thickly gathered together, He began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks a (AA)sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah [h]the prophet. 30 For as (AB)Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation. 31 (AC)The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a (AD)greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for (AE)they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.

The Lamp of the Body(AF)

33 (AG)“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a (AH)basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. 34 (AI)The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is [i]good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is [j]bad, your body also is full of darkness. 35 Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. 36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”

Woe to the Pharisees and Lawyers

37 And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat. 38 (AJ)When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.

39 (AK)Then the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but (AL)your inward part is full of [k]greed and wickedness. 40 Foolish ones! Did not (AM)He who made the outside make the inside also? 41 (AN)But rather give alms of [l]such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you.

42 (AO)“But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and (AP)pass by justice and the (AQ)love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. 43 (AR)Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the [m]best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 44 (AS)Woe to you, [n]scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! (AT)For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them.

45 Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, “Teacher, by saying these things You reproach us also.”

46 And He said, “Woe to you also, lawyers! (AU)For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 (AV)Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48 In fact, you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs. 49 Therefore the wisdom of God also said, (AW)‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’ 50 that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, 51 (AX)from the blood of Abel to (AY)the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.

52 (AZ)“Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.”

53 [o]And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things, 54 lying in wait for Him, [p]and (BA)seeking to catch Him in something He might say, [q]that they might accuse Him.
