Then Herod secretly sent for the astrologers, and found out from them the exact time when the star appeared.

But Jesus answered, "Let it be so this time, for it is right for us to do everything that God requires." Then John consented.

From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent! for the Kingdom of Heaven is coming!"

How can you say to your brother, 'Just let me get that speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a beam in your own?

And they suddenly screamed out, "What do you want of us, you Son of God? Have you come here before the appointed time to torture us?"

Jesus said to them, "Can wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But a time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and they will fast then.

And Jesus turned and saw her, and he said, "Courage, my daughter! Your faith has cured you!" And from that time the woman was well.

But from the time of John the Baptist until now men have been taking the Kingdom of Heaven by storm and impetuously crowding into it.

For up to the time of John all the Prophets and the Law itself prophesied about it,

At that same time Jesus said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding all this from the learned and intelligent and revealing it to children.

At that same time Jesus walked one Sabbath through the wheat fields, and his disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of wheat and eat them.

At that time some people brought to him a man blind and dumb, who was possessed by a demon, and he cured him, so that the dumb man could speak and see.

And what was sown among the thorns means the man who listens to the message, and then the worries of the time and the pleasure of being rich choke the message out, and it yields nothing.

Let them both grow together until harvest time, and when we harvest I will direct the reapers to gather up the weeds first and tie them up in bundles to burn, but get the wheat into my barn.' "

At that time, Herod the governor heard the reports about Jesus,

but the boat was by this time a long way from shore, struggling with the waves, for the wind was against them.

Then Jesus answered, "You have great faith! You shall have what you want." And her daughter was cured from that time.

It was then that Jesus Christ for the first time explained to his disciples that he had to go to Jerusalem and endure great suffering there at the hands of the elders, high priests, and scribes, and be killed, and be raised to life on the third day.

Just at that time the disciples came up and asked Jesus, "Who is really greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?"

So the slave threw himself down before him and implored him, 'Give me time, and I will pay you all of it.'

So his fellow-slave threw himself down before him, and begged him, 'Give me time, and I will pay you.'

When the time for the vintage approached he sent his slaves to the tenants to receive his share.

He sent other slaves a second time, and said to them, 'Tell those who have been asked, "Here I have my banquet all ready, my bullocks and fat cattle are killed, and everything is ready. Come to the banquet!" '

But alas for women who are with child at that time or who have babies!

"If anyone says to you at that time, 'Look! here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it,

For just as it was in the time of Noah, it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

Therefore you must be ready too, for the Son of Man is coming at a time when you do not expect him.

"Who then will be the faithful, thoughtful slave whom his master put in charge of his household, to give the members of it their supplies at the proper time?

But if he is a bad slave and says to himself, 'My master is going to stay a long time,'

that slave's master will come back some day when he does not expect him, and at some time of which he does not know

And from that time he watched for a good opportunity to hand him over to them.

And he said, "Go into the city, to a certain man, and say to him, 'The Master says, "My time is near. I am going to keep the Passover at your house with my disciples." ' "

He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it cannot pass by me without my drinking it, your will be done!"

And he left them and went away again and prayed a third time, in the same words as before.

Then he came back to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? See, the time has come for the Son of Man to be handed over to wicked men!

At that same time Jesus said to the crowd, "Have you come out to arrest me with swords and clubs, as though I were a robber? Day after day I have sat in the Temple preaching, and you never seized me.

Now at festival time the governor was accustomed to release for the people any prisoner whom they chose,

and at this time there was a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

There were two robbers crucified with him at the time, one at his right and one at his left.
