Just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens split open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.

Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out [terribly from the depths of his throat],

Finding themselves unable, however, to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they untiled the roof just over His head, and after clearing an opening they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying.

On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "Those who are strong have no need of a doctor, but those who are ill: I have not come to call just men but sinners."

So the Pharisees were saying to Him, "Just look! Why are they doing on the Sabbath what it is against the law to do?"

Then He began again to teach by the seashore. And a crowd gathered around Him so great that He got into a boat and was sitting in it, just off the shore, while all the people were on the land close to the sea.

So leaving the crowd, they took Him with them, just as He was, in the boat. And other boats were with Him.

Just as Jesus stepped out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit came out of the tombs and met him.

Now there was there just at the mountain a great herd of swine feeding;

for she was saying, "If I touch just his clothing, I will be healed!"

Just then Jesus perceived in Himself that [healing] power had gone out from Him so turned to the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothing?"

But when Jesus heard what they said, he told the synagogue leader, "Stop being afraid! Just keep on believing."

Is not this the carpenter? the son of Mary? and a brother of James, and Joset, and Judas, and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended with him.

Wherever He would go, into villages, towns, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him that they might touch just the tassel of His robe. And everyone who touched it was made well.

But just then a woman whose little daughter was dominated by an evil spirit heard about Jesus and came and fell down at His feet.

Now the woman was a Greek [i.e., a Gentile], a Syrophoenician by nationality. [Note: This was a region just north of Galilee and consisted of Syria and Phoenicia]. She begged Him to drive out the evil spirit from her daughter.

And they were utterly amazed, saying, "He has done everything just right; He makes even the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."

[Just then] a cloud engulfed them and a voice spoke out of the cloud saying, "This is my dearly loved Son, listen to Him."

But I tell you that indeed Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written about him."

saying to them, "Go into the village just ahead of you and, upon entering it, you will find tied up [there] a colt that no one has ever ridden; untie it and bring it here.

So they told them, just as Jesus had said, and they allowed them [to take it].

Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever you pray for and ask, believe that you just now received them, and they shall be unto you.

Jesus said to them, "Let me ask you just one question, and if you answer me, I will tell you what sort of authority I have for doing as I do.

Just then up came one of the Scribes who had heard them arguing, and realized that Jesus had answered them admirably. "What commandment," he asked, "is the first of all?"

They devour widows’ houses and say long prayers just for show. These will receive harsher punishment.”

"Tell us, when will these things [you just spoke of] happen? And what will be the sign [that indicates] when all these things are about to be fulfilled?"

And when they lead you into court, and hand you over [to be judged], do not worry ahead of time about what you will say, but [just] say whatever you are told [i.e., by God] when the time comes.

"Now learn what the story of the fig tree means. Just as soon as its branches grow tender, and put forth leaves, you know that summer is near.

just as a man when he leaves home to go on a journey, and puts his slaves in charge, each with his duties, gives orders to the watchman to keep watch.

The disciples left and went to the city and found everything just as He had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

For the Son of Man is going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! [It would be] better for him if that man had not been born."

Jesus and His disciples came to a place called Gethsemene [Note: This was an olive orchard on a hillside just east of Jerusalem]. He said to His disciples, "You sit here while I [go away and] pray."

rise, let us be going: see, the traitor is just upon us.

Just then, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. A crowd armed with swords and clubs was with him. They were from the high priests, the scribes, and the elders.

But he denied it, and said, "I don't know--I don't understand--What do you mean?" And then he went out into the outer court. Just then a cock crowed.

Just then a rooster crowed a second time. Peter remembered that Jesus told him, "Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." Then he broke down and cried.

Then again Pilate asked Him, "Have you no answer to make? Just see how many charges they are making against you!"

And the women also saw from afar, among whom were Mary the Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the less, and of Joset, and Salome,
