“Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child’s life are dead.”

Do Not Worry

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to your span of life?

For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

While he was saying these things to them, suddenly a leader came in and knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”

Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.

For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.

For what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life? Or what will they give in return for their life?

“If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to enter life maimed or lame than to have two hands or two feet and to be thrown into the eternal fire.

And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and to be thrown into the hell of fire.

The Rich Young Man

Then someone came to him and said, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?”

And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is one who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my name’s sake will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.

just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life a ransom for many.”

And these will go away into eternal punishment but the righteous into eternal life.”
