When he did come out, he could not speak to them. Then they realized that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them and remained speechless.

The angel replied to her:

“The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
Therefore, the holy One to be born
will be called the Son of God.

How could this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

Now the time had come for Elizabeth to give birth, and she had a son.

“Leave us alone! What do You have to do with us, Jesus—Nazarene? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

But Jesus rebuked him and said, “Be quiet and come out of him!”

And throwing him down before them, the demon came out of him without hurting him at all.

Amazement came over them all, and they kept saying to one another, “What is this message? For He commands the unclean spirits with authority and power, and they come out!”

So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

But the news about Him spread even more, and large crowds would come together to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

On one of those days while He was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea, and also from Jerusalem. And the Lord’s power to heal was in Him.

I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them—then they will fast in those days.”

I will show you what someone is like who comes to Me, hears My words, and acts on them:

When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to Him, requesting Him to come and save the life of his slave.

Jesus went with them, and when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to tell Him, “Lord, don’t trouble Yourself, since I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.

That is why I didn’t even consider myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be cured.

For I too am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under my command. 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 the Lord, asking, “Are You the One who is to come, or should we look for someone else?”

When the men reached Him, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask You, ‘Are You the One who is to come, or should we look for someone else?’”

For John the Baptist did not come eating bread or drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses: Mary, called Magdalene (seven demons had come out of her);

The seed along the path are those who have heard and then the Devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

“No one, after lighting a lamp, covers it with a basket or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in may see its light.

For nothing is concealed that won’t be revealed, and nothing hidden that won’t be made known and come to light.

For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was guarded, bound by chains and shackles, he would snap the restraints and be driven by the demon into deserted places.

Just then, a man named Jairus came. He was a leader of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet and pleaded with Him to come to his house,

They answered, “John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, that one of the ancient prophets has come back.”

Then He said to them all, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and that of the Father and the holy angels.

Heal the sick who are there, and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near you.’

‘We are wiping off as a witness against you even the dust of your town that clings to our feet. Know this for certain: The kingdom of God has come near.’

The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him. When I come back I’ll reimburse you for whatever extra you spend.’

He said to them, “Whenever you pray, say:

Father,
Your name be honored as holy.
Your kingdom come.

because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I don’t have anything to offer him.’

If I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.

“When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it roams through waterless places looking for rest, and not finding rest, it then says, ‘I’ll go back to my house where I came from.’

“No one lights a lamp and puts it in the cellar or under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see its light.

Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Make money-bags for yourselves that won’t grow old, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.

You must be like people waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.

Those slaves the master will find alert when he comes will be blessed. I assure you: He will get ready, have them recline at the table, then come and serve them.

If he comes in the middle of the night, or even near dawn, and finds them alert, those slaves are blessed.

That slave whose master finds him working when he comes will be rewarded.

that slave’s master will come on a day he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

He told the vineyard worker, ‘Listen, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it even waste the soil?’

But the leader of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, responded by telling the crowd, “There are six days when work should be done; therefore come on those days and be healed and not on the Sabbath day.”

They will come from east and west, from north and south, and recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

See, your house is abandoned to you. And I tell you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say, ‘He who comes in the name of the Lord is the blessed One’!”

The one who invited both of you may come and say to you, ‘Give your place to this man,’ and then in humiliation, you will proceed to take the lowest place.

“But when you are invited, go and recline in the lowest place, so that when the one who invited you comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ You will then be honored in the presence of all the other guests.

At the time of the banquet, he sent his slave to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, because everything is now ready.’

“And another said, ‘I just got married, and therefore I’m unable to come.’

“Then the master told the slave, ‘Go out into the highways and lanes and make them come in, so that my house may be filled.

“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, and even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.

Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

“Or what king, going to war against another king, will not first sit down and decide if he is able with 10,000 to oppose the one who comes against him with 20,000?

He longed to be filled with what fell from the rich man’s table, but instead the dogs would come and lick his sores.

because I have five brothers—to warn them, so they won’t also come to this place of torment.’

He said to His disciples, “Offenses will certainly come, but woe to the one they come through!

And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and comes back to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

“Which one of you having a slave tending sheep or plowing will say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?

Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God will come, He answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming with something observable;

On that day, a man on the housetop, whose belongings are in the house, must not come down to get them. Likewise the man who is in the field must not turn back.

I tell you that He will swiftly grant them justice. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find that faith on earth?”

Jesus, however, invited them: “Let the little children come to Me, and don’t stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

When Jesus heard this, He told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

who will not receive many times more at this time, and eternal life in the age to come.”

When Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down because today I must stay at your house.”

“Today salvation has come to this house,” Jesus told him, “because he too is a son of Abraham.

For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost.”

He called 10 of his slaves, gave them 10 minas, and told them, ‘Engage in business until I come back.’

The King who comes
in the name of the Lord
is the blessed One.
Peace in heaven
and glory in the highest heaven!

For the days will come on you when your enemies will build an embankment against you, surround you, and hem you in on every side.

He will come and destroy those farmers and give the vineyard to others.”

But when they heard this they said, “No—never!”

“These things that you see—the days will come when not one stone will be left on another that will not be thrown down!”

Then He said, “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Don’t follow them.

When you hear of wars and rebellions, don’t be alarmed. Indeed, these things must take place first, but the end won’t come right away.”

“When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that its desolation has come near.

“Be on your guard, so that your minds are not dulled from carousing, drunkenness, and worries of life, or that day will come on you unexpectedly

like a trap. For it will come on all who live on the face of the whole earth.

Then all the people would come early in the morning to hear Him in the temple complex.

For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple police, and the elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a criminal?

Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

The women who had come with Him from Galilee followed along and observed the tomb and how His body was placed.
