house and take hold of his possessions unless he first ties up
the strong man? (Matt 12:29)
You brood of vipers! How can you say good things when you are
evil? (Matt 12:34)
Who is my mother? Who are my brothers? (Matt 12:48)
Why did you doubt? (Matt 14:31)
And why do you break the commandments of God for the sake of
your tradition? (Matt 15:3)
How many loaves do you have? (Matt 15:34)
Do you not yet understand? (Matt 16:8)
Who do people say the Son of Man is? (Matt 16:13)
But who do you say that I am? (Matt 16:15)
What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and
forfeit his life and what can one give in exchange for his life?
(Matt 16:26)
