²¹ But he said to them in answer, My mother and my brothers are those who have knowledge of the word of God and do it.

²² But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.

¹⁷ If these things are clear to you, happy are you if you do them.

¹¹ My loved one, do not be copying what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God: he who does evil has not seen God.

²² And he gives us all our requests, because we keep his laws and do the things which are pleasing in his eyes.

²³ And this is his law, that we have faith in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love for one another, even as he said to us.

²⁹ If you have knowledge that he is upright, it is clear to you that everyone who does righteousness is his offspring.

¹¹ For he who makes holy and those who are made holy are all of one family; and for this reason it is no shame for him to give them the name of brothers,

¹² Saying, I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers, I will make a song of praise to you before the church.

¹³ And again he says, I will put my faith in him. And again, See, I am here, and the children which God has given to me.

¹⁸ And will be a Father to you; and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord, the Ruler of all.

¹⁶ For this reason, from this time forward we have knowledge of no man after the flesh: even if we have had knowledge of Christ after the flesh, we have no longer any such knowledge.

¹⁷ Jesus said to her, Do not put your hand on me, for I have not gone up to the Father: but go to my brothers and say to them, I go up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.

¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do what I give you orders to do.

¹⁵ No longer do I give you the name of servants; because a servant is without knowledge of what his master is doing: I give you the name of friends, because I have given you knowledge of all the things which my Father has said to me.

²⁸ Then they said to him, How may we do the works of God?

²⁹ Jesus, answering, said to them, This is to do the work of God: to have faith in him whom God has sent.

²⁷ And it came about that when he said these things, a certain woman among the people said in a loud voice, Happy is the body which gave you birth, and the breasts from which you took milk.

²⁸ But he said, More happy are they who give hearing to the word of God and keep it.

¹⁵ And those in the good earth are those who, having given ear to the word, keep it with a good and true heart, and in quiet strength give fruit.

¹⁰ Then said Jesus to them, Have no fear: go and give word to my brothers to go into Galilee, and there they will see me.

⁴⁵ Then will he make answer to them, saying, Truly I say to you, Because you did it not to the least of these, you did it not to me.

⁴⁰ And the King will make answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Because you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

⁵ While he was still talking, a bright cloud came over them: and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased; give ear to him.

²¹ Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will go into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the pleasure of my Father in heaven.

²² A great number will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, were we not prophets in your name, and did we not by your name send out evil spirits, and by your name do works of power?

²³ And then will I say to them, I never had knowledge of you: go from me, you workers of evil.

²⁴ Everyone, then, to whom my words come and who does them, will be like a wise man who made his house on a rock;

²⁵ And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house, but it was not moved; because it was based on the rock.

²⁶ And everyone to whom my words come and who does them not, will be like a foolish man who made his house on sand;
