When the angels left them and went back to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, that the Lord has made known to us."

They were all amazed and began to say to one another, "What's happening here? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!"

On another Sabbath, Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching. Now a man was there whose right hand was withered.

But they were filled with mindless rage and began debating with one another what they would do to Jesus.

He also told them a parable: "Someone who is blind cannot lead another who is blind, can he? Won't they both fall into a pit?

For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."

and sent them to Jesus to ask, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"

When the men came to Jesus, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?'"

They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another, 'We played the flute for you, yet you did not dance; we wailed in mourning, yet you did not weep.'

While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from one town after another, he spoke to them in a parable:

Then he said to them, "Where is your faith?" But they were afraid and amazed, saying to one another, "Who then is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him!"

and they went on to another village.

Jesus said to another, "Follow me." But he replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."

Yet another said, "I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say goodbye to my family."

Meanwhile, when many thousands of the crowd had gathered so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

But one after another they all began to make excuses. The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. Please excuse me.'

Another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going out to examine them. Please excuse me.'

Another said, 'I just got married, and I cannot come.'

Or what king, going out to confront another king in battle, will not sit down first and determine whether he is able with ten thousand to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' The second man replied, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' The manager said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'

Then another slave came and said, 'Sir, here is your mina that I put away for safekeeping in a piece of cloth.

They will demolish you -- you and your children within your walls -- and they will not leave within you one stone on top of another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God."

So they discussed it with one another, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'

So he sent another slave. They beat this one too, treated him outrageously, and sent him away empty-handed.

But when the tenants saw him, they said to one another, 'This is the heir; let's kill him so the inheritance will be ours!'

"As for these things that you are gazing at, the days will come when not one stone will be left on another. All will be torn down!"

So they began to question one another as to which of them it could possibly be who would do this.

And after about an hour still another insisted, "Certainly this man was with him, because he too is a Galilean."
