Jesus said to them, "The wedding guests cannot mourn while the bridegroom is with them, can they? But the days are coming when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then they will fast.

While they were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers came and stood outside, asking to speak to him.

And such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat to sit while the whole crowd stood on the shore.

But while everyone was sleeping, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.

Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he dispersed the crowds.

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my one dear Son, in whom I take great delight. Listen to him!"

While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them a question:

Now while Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper,

And while they were eating he said, "I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me."

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it, gave it to his disciples, and said, "Take, eat, this is my body."

Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."

While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and elders of the people.

After a little while, those standing there came up to Peter and said, "You really are one of them too -- even your accent gives you away!"

and said, "Sir, we remember that while that deceiver was still alive he said, 'After three days I will rise again.'

While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests everything that had happened.

telling them, "You are to say, 'His disciples came at night and stole his body while we were asleep.'

Jesus said to them, "The wedding guests cannot fast while the bridegroom is with them, can they? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they do not fast.

Again he began to teach by the lake. Such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat on the lake and sat there while the whole crowd was on the shore by the lake.

While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler's house saying, "Your daughter has died. Why trouble the teacher any longer?"

He said to them, "Come with me privately to an isolated place and rest a while" (for many were coming and going, and there was no time to eat).

Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dispersed the crowd.

They came again to Jerusalem. While Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the experts in the law, and the elders came up to him

While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he said, "How is it that the experts in the law say that the Christ is David's son?

So while he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

Now while Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, reclining at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of costly aromatic oil from pure nard. After breaking open the jar, she poured it on his head.

While they were at the table eating, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, one of you eating with me will betray me."

While they were eating, he took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it, gave it to them, and said, "Take it. This is my body."

Then they went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray."

Right away, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived. With him came a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and experts in the law and elders.

Now while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the high priest's slave girls came by.

She went out and told those who were with him, while they were mourning and weeping.

After this he appeared in a different form to two of them while they were on their way to the country.

Then he appeared to the eleven themselves, while they were eating, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him resurrected.

They went out and proclaimed everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through the accompanying signs.]]

Now while Zechariah was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty,

While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child.

While the people were filled with anticipation and they all wondered whether perhaps John could be the Christ,

Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized. And while he was praying, the heavens opened,

While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came to him who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he bowed down with his face to the ground and begged him, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."

Now on one of those days, while he was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting nearby (who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem), and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.

So Jesus said to them, "You cannot make the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you?

How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the speck from your eye,' while you yourself don't see the beam in your own? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from one town after another, he spoke to them in a parable:

Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in a time of testing fall away.

While he was still speaking, someone from the synagogue ruler's house came and said, "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer."

while others were saying that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had risen.

ThenBut while the entire crowd was amazed at everything Jesus was doing, he said to his disciples,

because a friend of mine has stopped here while on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.'

If he cannot succeed, he will send a representative while the other is still a long way off and ask for terms of peace.

So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way from home his father saw him, and his heart went out to him; he ran and hugged his son and kissed him.

Won't the master instead say to him, 'Get my dinner ready, and make yourself ready to serve me while I eat and drink. Then you may eat and drink'?

For a while he refused, but later on he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God nor have regard for people,

While the people were listening to these things, Jesus proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.

Now while some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and offerings, Jesus said,

While he was still speaking, suddenly a crowd appeared, and the man named Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He walked up to Jesus to kiss him.

But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" At that moment, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men stood beside them in dazzling attire.

He is not here, but has been raised! Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee,

While they were talking and debating these things, Jesus himself approached and began to accompany them

They said to each other, "Didn't our hearts burn within us while he was speaking with us on the road, while he was explaining the scriptures to us?"

While they were saying these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."

And while they still could not believe it (because of their joy) and were amazed, he said to them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"

Then he said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled."

Now while Jesus was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, many people believed in his name because they saw the miraculous signs he was doing.

He must become more important while I become less important."

While he was on his way down, his slaves met him and told him that his son was going to live.

The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I am trying to get into the water, someone else goes down there before me."

Jesus said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

Then Jesus, while teaching in the temple courts, cried out, "You both know me and know where I come from! And I have not come on my own initiative, but the one who sent me is true. You do not know him,

Then Jesus said, "I will be with you for only a little while longer, and then I am going to the one who sent me.

(Jesus spoke these words near the offering box while he was teaching in the temple courts. No one seized him because his time had not yet come.)

While he was saying these things, many people believed in him.

I am telling you the things I have seen while with the Father; as for you, practice the things you have heard from the Father!"

Some people said, "This is the man!" while others said, "No, but he looks like him." The man himself kept insisting, "I am the one!"

Jesus replied, "The light is with you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become sons of light." When Jesus had said these things, he went away and hid himself from them.

Children, I am still with you for a little while. You will look for me, and just as I said to the Jewish religious leaders, 'Where I am going you cannot come,' now I tell you the same.

In a little while the world will not see me any longer, but you will see me; because I live, you will live too.

"I have spoken these things while staying with you.

In a little while you will see me no longer; again after a little while, you will see me."

Then some of his disciples said to one another, "What is the meaning of what he is saying, 'In a little while you will not see me; again after a little while, you will see me,' and, 'because I am going to the Father'?"

So they kept on repeating, "What is the meaning of what he says, 'In a little while'? We do not understand what he is talking about."

Jesus could see that they wanted to ask him about these things, so he said to them, "Are you asking each other about this -- that I said, 'In a little while you will not see me; again after a little while, you will see me'?

While this was happening, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

Now very early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been moved away from the entrance.

While he was with them, he declared, "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait there for what my Father promised, which you heard about from me.

After he had said this, while they were watching, he was lifted up and a cloud hid him from their sight.

As they were still staring into the sky while he was going, suddenly two men in white clothing stood near them

While the man was hanging on to Peter and John, all the people, completely astounded, ran together to them in the covered walkway called Solomon's Portico.

While Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests and the commander of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them,

while you extend your hand to heal, and to bring about miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus."

They continued to stone Stephen while he prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!"

So Peter got up and went with them, and when he arrived they brought him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him, crying and showing him the tunics and other clothing Dorcas used to make while she was with them.
