Who

In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah, and whose wife Elizabeth was a descendant of Aaron.

…to a virgin pledged in marriage to a man named Joseph, who was of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary.

The angel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.

Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.”

His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation.

He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts.

They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who bears this name.”

And all who heard this wondered in their hearts and asked, “What then will this child become?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.

…salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us,

…to shine on those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”

He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child.

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the Baby, who was lying in the manger.

And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

There was also a prophetess named Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, who was well along in years. She had been married for seven years,

Coming forward at that moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the Child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

And all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers.

Then John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

“Ha! What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell facedown and begged Him, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

Then Levi hosted a great banquet for Jesus at his house. A large crowd of tax collectors was there, along with others who were eating with them.

Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.

Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

…bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

…bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.

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!”

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!”

So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”

At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.

This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”

“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

…as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.

The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.

But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.

No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

“Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”

Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

…because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

…including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.

“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

“I beheaded John,” Herod said, “but who is this man I hear such things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.

But the crowds found out and followed Him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and He healed those who needed healing.

One day as Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with Him, He questioned them: “Who do the crowds say I am?”

“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

But I tell you truly, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

And He said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. For whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.”

He sent messengers on ahead, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.

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

Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God is near you.’

Whoever listens to you listens to Me; whoever rejects you rejects Me; and whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”

All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”

All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”

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

Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

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

She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to His message.

And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

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,

He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
