From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and forceful people lay hold of it.

He said to them, "Would not any one of you, if he had one sheep that fell into a pit on the Sabbath, take hold of it and lift it out?

I tell you the truth, this generation will be held responsible for all these things!

Jesus said to him, "Friend, do what you are here to do." Then they came and took hold of Jesus and arrested him.

Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back in its place! For all who take hold of the sword will die by the sword.

But Jesus met them, saying, "Greetings!" They came to him, held on to his feet and worshiped him.
