You are salt and light (5:13-14; see also Mark 9:50; Luke 14:34-35). Unless your righteousness exceeds... (5:17-20). "You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? You are the light of the world. Let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven."
Watch, because the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour (see also Mark 13:32-37; Luke 17:26-35; 21:34-36). "No one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only. As the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man."
Jesus calls Levi (2:13-17; see also Matthew 9:9-13; Luke 5:27-32). A question about fasting (2:18-22; see also Matthew 9:14-17; Luke 5:33-39). Jesus saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him.
Jesus denounces the Scribes and the Pharisees (see also Mark 12:38-40; Luke 20:45-47). "He who is greatest among you will be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."
The Beatitudes (See also Luke 6:20-26). Seeing the multitudes, Jesus went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He opened his mouth and taught them, saying, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven."
The greatest and second greatest commandments (22:34-40; see also Mark 12:28-34; Luke 10:25-28). Jesus' question about David's son (22:41-46; see also Mark 12:35-37; Luke 20:41-44). A lawyer asked Jesus a question, testing him. "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?" Jesus said, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."
Jesus forgives a paralytic's sins––and heals him (see also Matthew 9:2-8; Luke 5:17-26). Four people carried a paralytic to Jesus. When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."
The question of paying taxes to the emperor (see also Mark 12:13-17; Luke 22:20-26). The Pharisees took counsel how they might entrap Jesus. They sent their disciples to him to say, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach, for you aren't partial to anyone. Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"
Jesus makes his home in Capernaum and preaches "Repent!" (See also Mark 1:14-15; Luke 4:14-15). Walking by the sea of Galilee, Jesus saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. He said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men."
The parable of the wedding banquet and the man without a robe (see also Luke 14:15-24). "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son, and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come."
