Jesus

“O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

Even while the boy was approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

And they were all astonished at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,

But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him.

“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.

But Jesus turned and rebuked them.

As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”

Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You, however, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”

Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

At that time Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

Then Jesus turned to the disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.

“What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied. “How do you read it?”

“You have answered correctly,” Jesus said. “Do this and you will live.”

But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

Jesus took up this question and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.

“The one who showed him mercy,” replied the expert in the law. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

As they traveled along, Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.

But Martha was distracted by all the preparations to be made. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me!”

One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,

Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.

As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”

As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.

At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

Then Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.

One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,

When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”

But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.”

When Jesus said this, all His adversaries were humiliated. And the whole crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things He was doing.

Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?

Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.

“Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,

At that very hour, some Pharisees came to Jesus and told Him, “Leave this place and get away, because Herod wants to kill You.”

But Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.’

One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.

When one of those reclining with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”

But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.

Then Jesus told them this parable:

Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

…and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”

Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:

Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them.

But Jesus called the children to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.

On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!

But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God

Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.

As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.

“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.

So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him,

Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him,

“Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”

Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

Then Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.

He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd because he was small in stature.

So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about to pass that way.

When Jesus came to that place, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today.”

Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham.

While the people were listening to this, Jesus proceeded to tell them a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought the kingdom of God would appear imminently.

After Jesus had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

So those who were sent went out and found it just as Jesus had told them.

Then they led the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over it, and put Jesus on it.

Then they led the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over it, and put Jesus on it.

As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it

Then Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling there.

Jesus was teaching at the temple every day, but the chief priests, scribes, and leaders of the people were intent on killing Him.

One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.

“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.
