The Parable of the Hidden Treasure

44 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and *sells all that he has and *buys that field.

The Parable of the Pearl of Great Price

45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,46 who, when he had found *one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

31 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: *"The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field,32 which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a *tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches."

The Parable of the Leaven

33 *Another parable He spoke to them: "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till *it was all leavened."

The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares

24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but *gather the wheat into my barn." ’ "

The Parable of the Tares Explained

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field."

37 He answered and said to them: "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.38 *The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are *the sons of the wicked one.39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, *the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, *and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,42 *and will cast them into the furnace of fire. *There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.43 *Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. *He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

The Parable of the Dragnet

47 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and *gathered some of every kind,48 which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away.49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, *separate the wicked from among the just,50 and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

3 "Blessed*are the poor in spirit,

For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 *Blessed are those who mourn,

For they shall be comforted.

5 *Blessed are the meek,

For *they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are those who *hunger and thirst for righteousness,

*For they shall be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful,

*For they shall obtain mercy.

8 *Blessed are the pure in heart,

For *they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers,

For they shall be called sons of God.

10 *Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,

For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 *"Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of *evil against you falsely for My sake.12 *Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for *so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Who Is the Greatest?

1 At *that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

2 Then Jesus called a little *child to Him, set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, *unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.4 *Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

14 But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for *of such is the kingdom of heaven."

With God All Things Are Possible

23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Assuredly, I say to you that *it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

25 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"

26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but *with God all things are possible."

5 Listen, my beloved brethren: *Has God not chosen the poor of this world tobe*rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom *which He promised to those who love Him?

18 But *the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.’

I Never Knew You

21 "Not everyone who says to Me, *‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who *does the will of My Father in heaven.

19 *Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds *the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

9 In this *manner, therefore, pray:

*Our Father in heaven,

Hallowed be Your *name.

10 Your kingdom come.

*Your will be done

On earth *as it is in heaven.

John the Baptist Prepares the Way

1 In those days *John the Baptist came preaching *in the wilderness of Judea, 2 and saying, "Repent, for *the kingdom of heaven is at hand!"

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

7 *And as you go, preach, saying, *‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’

11 And I say to you that *many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

11 "Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.12 *And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may *serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For *our God is a consuming fire.

11 They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom,

And talk of Your power,

12 To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts,

And the glorious majesty of His kingdom.

13 *Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,

And Your dominion endures throughout all generations.

10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent *to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

18 *And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. *To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!

32 "Do not fear, little flock, for *it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

5 For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any *inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
