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

Again, the devil *took Him along to a very high mountain and *showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory;

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.

Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.

But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you.

“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.’

Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

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.

And knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and no city or house divided against itself will stand.

And if Satan is casting out Satan, he has become divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand?

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.”
