He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.

For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.

Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.

Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.

And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity,

for it is written: 'He will give his angels charge of you, to guard you,'

But I tell you truly, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land;

And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their nets were breaking.

But the report went around concerning him all the more; and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

When they could not find a way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus.

Then Levi made him a great feast in his house; and there were a great number of tax collectors and others sitting at table with them.

And he came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and be healed of their diseases,

And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came from him and healed them all.

Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets.

But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For he is kind to the ungrateful and evil.

But he who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation; against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great."

When Jesus heard this, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the crowd that followed him, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel."

Soon afterward, he went to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him.

As he came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.

Fear seized them all; and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us;" and "God has visited his people."

And when a great crowd came together and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable:

Then his mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd.

For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.

Then all the people of the surrounding region of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned.

Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.

Now the day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, "Send the crowd away, to go to the surrounding villages and country, to lodge and get provisions; for we are here in a deserted place."

On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.

And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, "Teacher, I beg you to look upon my son, for he is my only child.

and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who is great."

And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion for him, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.

And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'

And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature.

And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."

There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
