The people living in darkness have seen a great light, and for those living in the land and shadow of death, a light has risen."

"How blessed are those who are pure in heart, because it is they who will see God!

In the same way, let your light shine before people in such a way that they will see your good actions and glorify your Father in heaven."

so that your giving may be done in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you."

"And whenever you pray, don't be like the hypocrites who love to stand in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they will be seen by people. I tell all of you with certainty, they have their full reward!

But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees from the hidden place will reward you.

"Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

Then Jesus told him, "See to it that you don't speak to anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest, and then offer the sacrifice that Moses commanded as proof to the authorities."

And their eyes were opened. Then Jesus sternly told them, "See to it that nobody knows about this."

As soon as the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!"

the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the destitute hear the good news.

As they were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John. "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

Really, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? See, those who wear fancy clothes live in kings' houses.

Really, what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!

This is the man about whom it is written, "See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.'

Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and unable to talk was brought to him. Jesus healed him so that the man could speak and see.

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees told Jesus, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you."

That's why I speak to them in parables, because "they look but don't see, and they listen but don't hear or understand.'

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

"How blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear!

I tell all of you with certainty, many prophets and righteous people longed to see the things you see but did not see them, and to hear the things you hear but did not hear them."

He presented another parable to them: "The kingdom from heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

"The owner's servants came and asked him, "Master, you sowed good seed in your field, didn't you? Then where did these weeds come from?'

He presented another parable to them, saying, "The kingdom from heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.

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

while the field is the world. The good seed are those who belong to the kingdom, while the weeds are those who belong to the evil one.

As a result, the crowd was amazed to see those who were unable to talk speaking, the crippled healed, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. So they praised the God of Israel.

I tell all of you with certainty, some people standing here will not experience death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

He told them, "Because of your lack of faith. I tell all of you with certainty, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.

"See to it that you do not despise one of these little ones, because I tell you, their angels in heaven always have access to my Father in heaven.

Then Jesus, deeply moved with compassion, touched their eyes, and at once they could see again. So they followed him.

"When the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.

"They do everything to be seen by people. They increase the size of their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments.

I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, "How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

But he told them, "You see all these things, don't you? I tell all of you with certainty, there isn't a single stone here that will be left standing on top of another. They will all be torn down."

Jesus answered them, "See to it that no one deceives you,

You'll hear of wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you aren't alarmed. These things must take place, but the end hasn't come yet,

"So when you see the destructive desecration, mentioned by the prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy Place (let the reader take note),

Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all "the tribes of the land will mourn' when they see "the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven' with power and great glory.

In the same way, when you see all these things, you'll know that the Son of Man is near, right at the door.

The one who had received five talents came up and brought five more talents. "Master,' he said, "you gave me five talents. See, I've earned five more talents.'

"The one with two talents also came forward and said, "Master, you gave me two talents. See, I've earned two more talents.

"Then the one who had received one talent came forward and said, "Master, I knew that you were a hard man, harvesting where you haven't planted and gathering where you haven't scattered any seed.

"His master answered him, "You evil and lazy servant! So you knew that I harvested where I haven't planted and gathered where I haven't scattered any seed?

"Then the righteous will say to him, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and give you something to eat, or thirsty and give you something to drink?

When did we see you as a stranger and welcome you, or see you naked and clothe you?

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

"Then they will reply, "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or as a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and didn't help you?'

Get up! Let's go! See, the one who is betraying me is near!"

Peter, however, followed him at a distance as far as the high priest's courtyard. He went inside and sat down with the servants to see how this would end.

Jesus told him, "You have said so. Nevertheless I tell you, from now on you will see "the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power' and "coming on the clouds of heaven.'"

But the others kept saying, "Wait! Let's see if Elijah will come and save him."

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

Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead. He is going ahead of you into Galilee, and you will see him there. Remember, I have told you!"

Then Jesus told them, "Stop being frightened! Go and tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there."
