"Let's go to the neighboring town," he replied, "so I can preach there, too, because that's why I came."

Since they couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof over the place where he was. They dug through it and let down the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying.

He added, "Let the person who has ears to hear, listen!"

If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen!

That day, when evening had come, he told them, "Let's cross to the other side."

So he let them do this. The unclean spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd of about 2,000 rushed down a steep slope into the sea and drowned there.

As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging him to let him go with him.

But Jesus wouldn't let him. Instead, he told him, "Go home to your family, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been to you."

But Jesus strictly ordered them not to let anyone know about this. He also told them to give her something to eat.

Wherever he went, whether into villages, towns, or farms, people would place their sick in the marketplaces and beg him to let them touch even the tassel of his garment, and everyone who touched it was healed.

"you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother.'

If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen!"

But he kept telling her, "First let the children be filled. It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the puppies."

Then Peter told Jesus, "Rabbi, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

A man in the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you. He has a spirit that won't let him talk.

When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You spirit that won't let him talk or hear I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!"

When Jesus saw this, he became furious and told them, "Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom of God belongs to people like these.

They asked him, "Let us sit in your glory, one on your right and one on your left."

The disciples told them what Jesus had said, and the men let them go.

He wouldn't even let anyone carry a vessel through the Temple.

But those farmers told one another, "This is the heir. Come on, let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!'

Seeing through their hypocrisy, Jesus replied to them, "Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius and let me look at it."

"So when you see the destructive desecration standing where it should not be (let the reader take note), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.

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

Let the Messiah, the king of Israel, come down from the cross now, since seeing is believing!" Even the men who were crucified with him kept insulting him.

So someone ran and soaked a sponge in some sour wine. Then he put it on a stick and offered Jesus a drink, saying, "Wait! Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down!"

When he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he let Joseph have the corpse.
