⁴ But He answered and said, “It is written: ‘^(A)Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God.’”

³⁸ For ^(A)whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, ^(B)the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He ^(C)comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

The Parable of the Builders

⁴⁶ “Now ^(A)why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? ^47 (B)Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and ^[a]acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: ⁴⁸ he is like a man building a house, who ^[b]dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when there was a flood, the river burst against that house and yet it could not shake it, because it had been well built.

²⁸ But He said, “On the contrary, blessed are ^(A)those who hear the word of God and follow it.”

²² So when He was raised from the dead, His ^(A)disciples ^(B)remembered that He said this; and they believed ^(C)the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

³⁴ For He whom God ^(A)sent speaks the words of God; ^(B)for He does not give the Spirit ^[a]sparingly.

^63 (A)It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh provides no benefit; ^(B)the words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life.

The Truth Will Set You Free

³¹ So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “^(A)If you continue in My word, then you are truly My ^(B)disciples;

^47 (A)The one who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”

^48 (A)The one who rejects Me and does not ^[a]accept My ^[b]teachings has one who judges him: ^(B)the word which I spoke. That will judge him on ^(C)the last day.
