"Where is the new-born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to worship him."

The Magi listened to the king, and went on their way, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east led them until it came and stood over the place where the young child was.

The people who were dwelling in darkness Have seen a great light; And on those who were dwelling in the land of the shadows of death Light has dawned.

And as he was walking by the see of Galilee, he saw two brothers??imon who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother??asting their net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

"So let your light shine before men that they may see good you do, and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

"so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

"And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the corners of the avenues, in order that men may see them. In solemn truth I tell you that they have their reward in full.

"But you, when you pray, go into your own room and shut your door; pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

"so that he may not appear to men to be fasting, but to his Father who is in secret; and his Father who sees in secret will reward him.

"But continue to seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

"Hypocrite! First cast out the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to cast the mote out of your brother's eye.

"Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, as an evidence to them."

At once all the citizens came out to meet Jesus; and when they had seen him, they begged him to move away from their country.

Now when Jesus had come into the house of the ruler, and had seen the flute-players and the wailing crowd, he said,

Jesus charged them sternly, saying, "See to it that you let no one know."

and when he had driven out the demon, the dumb spoke. The crowds were amazed, saying, "Never was such a thing seen in Israel!"

"Go and tell John," was Jesus' answer, "what you hear and see;

"What did you go out into the desert to behold?" he asked; "A reed shaken by the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those who wear soft raiment dwell in kings' palaces!

"But why did you go? To see a prophet? I tell you, yes, and more than a prophet;

Then some of the Scribes and Pharisees accosted him. "Teacher," they said, "we want to see some sign from you."

and as he sowed, some seed fell by the roadside, and the birds came and ate it.

"This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

And in them is being fulfilled that prophecy of Isaiah which says. "Hearing you will hear and not understand; Seeing you will see and not perceive;

"But happy are your eyes, because they see, and your ears because they hear.

"In solemn truth I tell you that many prophets and holy men have seen it not, and to hear what you are hearing, and have not heard it.

"This is the seed sown by the wayside. And the word, and at once receives it with joy.

"And the seed sown among thorns is he who hears the word, but the anxieties of the age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

"But the seed sown in good soil is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit, and makes now an hundredfold, now sixty, now thirty."

He told them another parable. "The kingdom of heaven," he said, "is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;

"The slaves of the owner went to him and said: "'Was it not good seed, sir, that you sowed in your field? From whence then, do you get tares?'

He set forth to them another parable, saying. "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard-seed which a man took and planted in his field.

"The sower of the seed," he answered, "is the Son of man;

"the field is the world; the good seed is the sons of the kingdom; the weeds, the sons of the Evil One.

Solemnly I tell you, some of those who are standing here shall not taste death, till they have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

"Because of your little faith," he answered. "In solemn truth I tell you that if you have faith the size of a mustard-seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from this place to that!' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.

"Indeed he does," answered Peter. But on Peter's entering the house, Jesus forestalled him, saying. "How does it seem to you, Simon? From whom do earthly kings collect customs or taxes??rom their own people, or from aliens?"

"See to it that you never despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father in heaven.

"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

"How does it seem to you, when a man has a hundred sheep and loses one of them? Will he not leave the ninety and nine on the hills, to go and search for the one that has strayed?

"For I tell you that never shall you see me again until you say, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." "nor did they know until the deluge came and swept them away; so will be the coming of the Son of man.

"You see all these buildings?" he answered them; "I tell you solemnly that there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be torn down."

And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see to it that you are not afraid. Such things must happen, but the end is not yet.

"So when you see the Abomination of Desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place let the reader take note of this,

"If at that time any one should say to you, 'See, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' believe him not.

See, I have forewarned you! So if they say to you,

"'See, He is in the desert,' do not go out there. "'See, He is in the inner room,' do not believe it.

For just as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west; so will be the coming of the Son of man.

"Then the signs of the Son of man will appear in the sky; and then all the tribes of the earth will lament, when they see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.

so you also, when you see these signs, know that He is near, at the very doors.

"The man who had received the five talents came, bringing five more, and said: "'Master, five talents you entrusted to me; see, I have gained five more.'

"The second, who had received the two talents, came up and said: "'Master, it was two talents that you entrusted to me; see, I have gained two more.'

"'I was naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to see me.'

"Then shall the righteous answer him, saying. 'Master, when did we see you hungry and feed you; or thirsty and give you drink?

"'When did we see you a stranger and take you in; or naked and clothe you?

"'When did we see you sick or in prison, and come to see you?'

"Then will they also answer, 'Master, when did we ever see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to you?'

Now Peter was following him, afar off, as far as the courtyard of the high priest; and when he got in, he was sitting with the officers, to see the end.

"I am He," Jesus answered; "yet I tell you that from this time on you will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven."

"I have sinned," he said, "in betraying innocent blood!" "What is that to us?" they answered; "you must see to that."

But the rest said: "Let be! Let us see whether Elijah is coming to save him!"

At the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came down to see the sepulcher, when lo!

He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Master was lying!

And go quickly and tell his disciples. 'He is risen from the dead; he goes before you into Galilee; you will see him there.' Remember, I have told you."

Then Jesus said to them. "Fear not! Go tell my brothers to depart into Galilee, and they will see men there."

"See you say nothing to any one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your purification what Moses commanded for a testimony to them."

But to let you see that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"??e said to the paralytic??11 "I bid you rise, take up your cot, and go home."

And they kept watching Jesus to see whether he would cure him on the Sabbath; so as to have some charge to bring against him.

Now a crowd was sitting round him and they told him, "See! your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, wanting to see you."

and as he sowed, it happened that some seed fell on the road, and birds came and picked it up;

some other seed fell on stony soil, where it had not much earth; and it sprang up quickly because it had no depth of soil,

Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked it, so that it yielded no crop.

But some seed fell into good soil and yielded a crop that sprang up and increased, yielding thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold.

so that, "for all their looking they may not see, and for all their hearing, they may not understand, lest perchance they should turn and be pardoned.

"It is with the kingdom of God," he continued, "as if a man should have sown seed in the earth;

night and day he sleeps and wakes while the seed is sprouting and growing tall, he knows not how.

It is like a mustard-seed, which, when sown in the soil, is the smallest seed in the world;

On this the swineherds ran away and spread the news in town and country. So the people went to see what had happened.

"You see the crowd thronging about you," said his disciples, "and yet you say, 'Who touched me?'"

But he kept looking about to see who had done it,

"How many loaves have you?" he answered. "Go and see." When they had found out, they said, "Five, and two fishes."

At this Jesus sighed deeply in his spirit, and said: "Why does the present generation seek a sign? In solemn truth I tell you that no sign shall be given this generation."

Are your minds so slow to comprehend? You have eyes, do you not see? You have ears, do you not hear?

The man looked up and said, "I can make out the people, for as they move about, I see them like trees."

Then Jesus again put his hands on the man's eyes; and the man, staring straight ahead, recovered his sight and continued to see everything perfectly.

"In solemn truth I tell you," he said, "there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God, come with power."

As they came down the mountain he strictly forbade them to narrate to any one what they had seen, until after the Son of man had risen from the dead.

"See," said he, "we are going up to Jerusalem and the Son of man will be betrayed to the high priests and the Scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will hand him over to the Gentiles,

and seeing a fig tree in the distance full of leaves, he came to see if he could find anything on it, and found on it nothing but leaves (for it was not the time of figs).

The chief priests and the Scribes heard this, and they began to seek means of destroying him; for they were afraid of him because all the crowd were greatly struck with his teaching.

"You see these mighty buildings? There shall not be left here one stone upon another which shall not be thrown down," he answered.

"But when you see the Abomination of Desolation 'standing where he ought not' (let the reader ponder this), then let those in Judea flee to the mountains;

"At that time if any one tell you, 'See, here is Christ,' or 'See, there he is,' do not believe it;

Then will they see the Son of man coming in clouds, with great power and glory.

So also do you, whenever you see these things happening, know that He is near, at your very door.

Rouse yourselves, let us go. See! my betrayer is at hand."

"I am," Jesus answered, "and you all shall see the Son of man seated on the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."

"See, how many accusations they are making." But Jesus no longer made any answer, at which Pilate wondered.

Then they crucified him, and divided his garments among them, casting lots upon them to see what each should take.
