Through the tender compassion of our God, Through which the daybreak from on high will come to us,

When eight days had passed and the time for circumcising Him had come, He was called JESUS, the name given Him by the angel before His conception in the womb.

But Jesus rebuked the demon. "Silence!" He exclaimed; "come out of him." Upon this, the demon hurled the man into the midst of them, and came out of him without doing him any harm.

All were astonished and awe-struck; and they asked one another, "What sort of language is this? For with authority and real power He gives orders to the foul spirits and they come out."

and the Captain, hearing about Jesus, sent to Him some of the Jewish Elders, begging Him to come and restore his servant to health.

Then Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the Captain sent friends to Him with the message: "Sir, do not trouble to come. I am not worthy of having you come under my roof;

and therefore I did not deem myself worthy to come to you. Only speak the word, and let my young man be cured.

For I too am a man obedient to authority, and have soldiers under me; and I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this or that,' and he does it."

For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, 'He has a demon!'

The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, there is a man who is overfond of eating and drinking--he is a friend of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners!'

and certain women whom He had delivered from evil spirits and various diseases--Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons had come,

"The sower," He said, "goes out to sow his seed; and as he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and is trodden upon, or the birds of the air come and peck it up.

Those by the way-side are those who have heard, and then the Devil comes and carries away the Message from their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

Those on the rock are the people who on hearing the Message receive it joyfully; but they have no root: for a time they believe, but when trial comes they fall away.

There is nothing hidden, which shall not be openly seen; nor anything secret, which shall not be known and come into the light of day.

For already He had been commanding the foul spirit to come out of the man. For many a time it had seized and held him, and they had repeatedly put him in chains and fetters and kept guard over him, but he used to break the chains to pieces, and, impelled by the demon, to escape into the Desert.

by others that Elijah had appeared, and by others that some one of the ancient Prophets had come back to life.

"John the Baptist," they replied; "but others say Elijah; and others that some one of the ancient Prophets has come back to life."

For whoever shall have been ashamed of me and my teachings, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own and the Father's glory and in that of the holy angels.

On the following day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great crowd came to meet Him;

"Rabbi," replied John, "we have seen a man making use of your name to expel demons; and we forbad him, because he does not come with us."

When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Master, do you wish us to order fire to come down from Heaven and consume them?"

And if there is a lover of peace there, your peace shall rest upon it; otherwise come back upon you.

"And whatever town you come to and they receive you, eat what they put before you.

"But whatever town you come to and they will not receive you, go out into the broader streets and say,

So He said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Father may Thy name be kept holy; let Thy Kingdom come;

for a friend of mine has just come to my house from a distance, and I have nothing for him to eat'?

Meanwhile the people had come streaming towards Him by tens of thousands, so that they were trampling one another under foot. And now He proceeded to say to His disciples first, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, that is to say, beware of hypocrisy.

and I will say to my life, "'Life, you have ample possessions laid up for many years to come: take your ease, eat, drink, enjoy yourself.'

Sell your possessions and give alms. Provide yourselves with purses that will never wear out, a treasure inexhaustible in Heaven, where no thief can come nor moth consume.

and be yourselves like men waiting for their master--on the look-out till he shall return from the wedding feast--that, when he comes and knocks, they may open the door instantly.

Blessed are those servants, whom their Master when He comes shall find on the watch. I tell you in solemn truth, that He will tie an apron round Him, and will bid them recline at table while He comes and waits on them.

And whether it be in the second watch or in the third that He comes and finds them so, blessed are they.

Be you also ready, for at an hour when you are not expecting Him the Son of Man will come."

Blessed is that servant whom his Master when He comes shall find so doing.

that servant's Master will come on a day when he is not expecting Him and at an hour that he knows not of, and will punish him severely, and make him share the lot of the unfaithful.

Then He said to the people also, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, 'There is to be a shower;' and it comes to pass.

And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, 'It will be burning hot;' and it comes to pass.

See, your house is left to you. But I tell you that you will never see me again until you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

and the man who invited you both will come and will say to you, 'Make room for this guest,' and then you, ashamed, will move to the lowest place.

On the contrary, when you are invited go and take the lowest place, that when your host comes round he may say to you, 'My friend, come up higher.' This will be doing you honour in the presence of all the other guests.

At dinner-time he sent his servant to announce to those who had been invited, "'Come, for things are now ready.'

"Another said, "'I am just married. It is impossible for me to come.'

"'Go out,' replied the master, 'to the high roads and hedge-rows, and compel the people to come in, so that my house may be filled.

No one who does not carry his own cross and come after me can be a disciple of mine.

The younger of them said to his father, "'Father, give me the share of the property that comes to me.' "So he divided his wealth between them.

for my son here was dead and has come to life again: he was lost and has been found.' "And they began to be merry.

"'Your brother has come,' he replied; 'and your father has had the fat calf killed, because he has got him home safe and sound.'

but now that this son of yours is come who has eaten up your property among his bad women, you have killed the fat calf for him.'

Jesus said to His disciples, "It is inevitable that causes of stumbling should come; but alas for him through whom they come!

Have none been found to come back and give glory to God except this foreigner?"

Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God was coming, He answered, "The Kingdom of God does not so come that you can stealthily watch for it.

Then, turning to His disciples, He said, "There will come a time when you will wish you could see a single one of the days of the Son of Man, but will not see one.

Yes, He will soon avenge their wrongs. Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?"

Jesus however called the infants to Him. "Let the little children come to me," He said; "do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of God belongs.

On receiving this answer Jesus said to him, "There is still one thing wanting in you. Sell everything you possess and give the money to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; and then come, follow me."

At length Jesus stopped and desired them to bring the man to Him; and when he had come close to Him He asked him,

As soon as Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for I must stay at your house to-day."

Turning towards him, Jesus replied, "To-day salvation has come to this house, seeing that he too is a son of Abraham.

For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."

And when he was come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount called the Oliveyard, He sent two of the disciples on in front,

"Blessed is the King," they cried, "who comes in the name of the Lord: in Heaven peace, and glory in the highest realms."

He will come and put these vine-dressers to death, and give the vineyard to others." "God forbid!" exclaimed the hearers.

"See to it," He replied, "that you are not misled; for many will come assuming my name and professing, 'I am He,' or saying, 'The time is close at hand.' Do not go and follow them.

But when you hear of wars and turmoils, be not afraid; for these things must happen first, but the end does not come immediately."

But when He arrived at the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not come into temptation."

while He--an agony of distress having come upon Him--prayed all the more with intense earnestness, and His sweat became like clots of blood dropping on the ground.

"Why are you sleeping?" He said; "stand up; and pray that you may not come into temptation."

Then Jesus said to the High Priests and Commanders of the Temple and Elders, who had come to arrest Him, "Have you come out as if to fight with a robber, with swords and cudgels?
