the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, and on those who sit in the region and shadow of death a light has dawned."

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they can see your good deeds and give honor to your Father in heaven.

"Be careful not to display your righteousness merely to be seen by people. Otherwise you have no reward with your Father in heaven.

so that your gift may be in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.

"Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray while standing in synagogues and on street corners so that people can see them. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.

But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.

"When you fast, do not look sullen like the hypocrites, for they make their faces unattractive so that people will see them fasting. I tell you the truth, they have their reward.

so that it will not be obvious to others when you are fasting, but only to your Father who is in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.

Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye, but fail to see the beam of wood 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.

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

Then Jesus said to him, "See that you do not speak to anyone, but go, show yourself to a priest, and bring the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

And their eyes were opened. Then Jesus sternly warned them, "See that no one knows about this."

After the demon was cast out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, "Never has anything like this been seen in Israel!"

Jesus answered them, "Go tell John what you hear and see:

The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news proclaimed to them.

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?

What did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? Look, those who wear fancy clothes are in the homes of kings!

What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

Then they brought to him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute. Jesus healed him so that he could speak and see.

Then some of the experts in the law along with some Pharisees answered him, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you."

For this reason I speak to them in parables: Although they see they do not see, and although they hear they do not hear nor do they understand.

For the heart of this people has become dull; they are hard of hearing, and they have shut their eyes, so that they would not see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.'

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

For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

When anyone hears the word about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches what was sown in his heart; this is the seed sown along the path.

The seed sown on rocky ground is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.

The seed sown among thorns is the person who hears the word, but worldly cares and the seductiveness of wealth choke the word, so it produces nothing.

But as for the seed sown on good soil, this is the person who hears the word and understands. He bears fruit, yielding a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown."

He presented them with another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field.

So the slaves of the owner came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Then where did the weeds come from?'

He gave them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.

He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.

The field is the world and the good seed are the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one,

I tell you the truth, there are some standing here who will not experience death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

He told them, "It was because of your little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; nothing will be impossible for you."

"See that you do not disdain one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.

But when the king came in to see the wedding guests, he saw a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.

They do all their deeds to be seen by people, for they make their phylacteries wide and their tassels long.

For I tell you, you will not see me from now until you say, 'Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

And he said to them, "Do you see all these things? I tell you the truth, not one stone will be left on another. All will be torn down!"

"So when you see the abomination of desolation -- spoken about by Daniel the prophet -- standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),

Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man arriving on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

So also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near, right at the door.

The one who had received the five talents came and brought five more, saying, 'Sir, you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.'

The one with the two talents also came and said, 'Sir, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more.'

Then the one who had received the one talent came and said, 'Sir, I knew that you were a hard man, harvesting where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed,

so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.'

Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?

When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or naked and clothe you?

When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?'

Then they too will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not give you whatever you needed?'

But Peter was following him from a distance, all the way to the high priest's courtyard. After going in, he sat with the guards to see the outcome.

Jesus said to him, "You have said it yourself. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power and coming on the clouds of heaven."

But the rest said, "Leave him alone! Let's see if Elijah will come to save him."

He is not here, for he has been raised, just as he said. Come and see the place where he was lying.

Then go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has been raised from the dead. He is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there.' Listen, I have told you!"

Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee. They will see me there."
