When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!

To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:

Then Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored to full use, just like the other.

Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.

He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and in his joy he went and sold all he had and bought that field.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.

Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.

Then He told them, “For this reason, every scribe who has been discipled in the kingdom of heaven is like a homeowner who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”

There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.

“Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.

Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

The guards trembled in fear of him and became like dead men.

As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, He saw the heavens breaking open and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove.

“Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

And immediately the man got up, picked up his mat, and walked out in front of them all. As a result, they were all astounded and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were often fasting. So people came to Jesus and asked, “Why don’t Your disciples fast like John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees?”

Some are like the seeds along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

Still others are like the seeds sown on good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and produce a crop—thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a hundredfold.”

Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

In His teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, to receive greetings in the marketplaces,

…and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”

A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:

He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”

“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.

So He told them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

It is like a mustard seed that a man tossed into his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”

It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”

The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.

Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.

“Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.

But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life—and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare.

But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.

But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.

Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.

“Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.

Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”

If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned.

But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.

Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to Him in everything He tells you.

All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

This is the same Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.’

The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so He did not open His mouth.

But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!

Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.

For if we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection.

But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, “Why did You make me like this?”

Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the Israelites is like the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved.
