When Joseph awoke from sleep he did what the angel of the Lord told him. He took his wife,

and having summoned together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he enquired of them where the Messiah was to be born: and they told him, at Bethlehem in Judea;

“In Bethlehem of Judea,” they told him, “because this is what was written by the prophet:

and sent them to Bethlehem. He told them, "As you go, search carefully for the child. When you find him, tell me so that I, too, may go and worship him."

And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

But when John saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he told them, "You children of serpents! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

and behold, a voice out of the heavens saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight.

He told Jesus, "Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written, "God will put his angels in charge of you,' and, "With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.'"

Jesus told him, “It is also written: Do not test the Lord your God.”

He told Jesus, "I will give you all these things if you will bow down and worship me!"

Then Jesus told him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written:

Worship the Lord your God,
and serve only Him.”

And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

“The people who were sitting (living) in [spiritual] darkness have seen a great Light,
And for those who were sitting (living) in the land and shadow of [spiritual and moral] death,
Upon them a Light has dawned.”

“Follow Me,” He told them, “and I will make you fish for people!”

"You have heard that it was told those who lived long ago, "You are not to commit murder,' and, "Whoever murders will be subject to punishment.'

"You have heard that men were told 'You shall not commit adultery.'

"They were told, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'

"Again, you have heard that it was told those who lived long ago, "You must not swear an oath falsely,' but, "You must fulfill your oaths to the Lord.'

"You have heard that they were told, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'

"You have heard that they were told, 'You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'

For just as you [hypocritically] judge others [when you are sinful and unrepentant], so will you be judged; and in accordance with your standard of measure [used to pass out judgment], judgment will be measured to you.

Then Jesus told him, “See that you don’t tell anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses prescribed, as a testimony to them.”

“I will come and heal him,” He told him.

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and told those who were following him, "I tell all of you with certainty, not even in Israel have I found this kind of faith!

Then Jesus told the centurion, “Go. As you have believed, let it be done for you.” And his servant was cured that very moment.

Just then, a scribe came up and told him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

Jesus told him, “Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

Then another of his disciples told him, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."

But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

“Go!” He told them. So when they had come out, they entered the pigs. And suddenly the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the water.

And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.

Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Have courage, son, your sins are forgiven.”

Then some of the scribes told themselves, "This fellow is blaspheming!"

But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—then He told the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's desk and told him, "Follow me." So he got up and followed him.

While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."

When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They told him, "Yes, Lord."

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

Then he told his disciples, "The harvest is vast, but the workers are few.

But when they turn you over [to them], do not worry about how to speak or what you should say. For you will be told [i.e., by God] what to say at the right time.

What I tell you in darkness you must speak in the daylight, and what is whispered in your ear you must shout from the housetops.

the blind see, the lame walk, those with skin diseases are healed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news.

Yea, O Father! That, so, it hath become, a delight, before thee.

When the Pharisees saw this, they told him, "Look! Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!"

But he told them, "Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

Then He told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored, as good as the other.

Behold my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul has found its delight. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall shew forth judgment to the nations.

Knowing their thoughts, He told them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.

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

In reply Jesus told them. "An evil and faithless generation seeks a sign, and no sign will be given them except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

And someone told him, "Behold, your mother and your brothers are standing there outside desiring to speak to you."

But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

He told them many things in parables, saying, “Listen carefully: a sower went out to sow [seed in his field];

And the one on whom seed was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the worries and distractions of the world and the deceitfulness [the superficial pleasures and delight] of riches choke the word, and it yields no fruit.

[Then] Jesus told them another parable, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is similar to a person who sowed seed in his field,

“‘An enemy did this!’ he told them.

“‘So, do you want us to go and gather them up?’ the slaves asked him.

Jesus told them another parable, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is similar to a seed from the mustard tree which a man took and planted in his field.

He told them another parable, “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and worked into three measures of flour until all of it was leavened.”

Jesus told the crowds all these things in parables, and He would not speak anything to them without a parable,

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again, and then, in his delight, went and sold everything that he had, and bought that field.

“Have you understood all these things?”

“Yes,” they told Him.

Then he told them, "That is why every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom from heaven is like the master of a household who brings both new and old things out of his treasure chest."

But Jesus told them, "A prophet is without honor only in his hometown and in his own home." He did not perform many miracles there because of their unbelief.

“This is John the Baptist!” he told his servants. “He has been raised from the dead, and that’s why supernatural powers are at work in him.”

because John had repeatedly told him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."

However, on Herod's birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced in public to the delight of Herod;

And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

As twilight fell, his disciples came to him and said: "This is a lonely spot, and the day is far spent; send the crowds away, so that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food."

“They don’t need to go away,” Jesus told them. “You give them something to eat.”

They told him, "We only have here five loaves and two fish."

and He told all the people to sit down on the grass. Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and after looking up to heaven and blessing them, He broke up the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples distributed them to the people.

"Have courage!" Jesus immediately told them. "It's me. Stop being afraid!"

Summoning the crowd, He told them, “Listen and understand:

Then the disciples came up and told Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard this statement?”

Then Peter told him, "Explain to us this parable."

Do you not realize that whatever enters a person's mouth goes into his stomach and [eventually] passes out into the toilet?

He told the crowd to sit down on the ground.

He replied to them, "You say, "Red sky at night, what a delight!

Then Jesus told them, “Watch out and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Why is it you don’t understand that when I told you, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees,’ it wasn’t about bread?”

Then they understood that he had not told them to be on guard against the yeast in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

They told him, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

Then Jesus told him, "How blessed you are, Simon son of Jonah, since flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, though my Father in heaven has.

But He turned and told Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns, but man’s.”

Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continuously.

Then Peter told Jesus, "Lord, it's good that we're here! If you want, I'll set up three shelters one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight: hear him.

But I tell you that he has already come, and they did not recognize him, but dealt with him as they chose. And before long the Son of Man will be treated by them in a similar way."

Then understood the disciples that he told them of John the Baptist.

“Because of your little faith,” He told them. “For I assure you: If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

As they were meeting in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.

“From strangers,” he said.

“Then the sons are free,” Jesus told him.

So Jesus told him, "In that case, the subjects are exempt. However, so that we don't offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, open its mouth, and you will find a coin. Take it and give it to them for me and you."

Jesus told him, "I tell you, not just seven times, but 77 times!

So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

Then his master sent for him and told him, "You evil servant! I canceled that entire debt for you because you begged me.

did it not behove also thee to have dealt kindly with thy fellow-servant, as I also dealt kindly with thee?

He told them, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of the hardness of your hearts. But it was not like that from the beginning.

But He told them, “Not everyone can accept this saying, but only those it has been given to.

“I have kept all these,” the young man told Him. “What do I still lack?”
