When their purification period under the Law of Moses was over, they took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,

Symeon also took him in his arms and blessed God, and said,

And he took him up and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

And he took him to Jerusalem, and made him stand on the summit of the Temple, and said to him, "If you are God's son, throw yourself down from here,

and they got up and drove him out of the town and took him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, intending to throw him down from it.

How he went into the house of God and took the Presentation Loaves, which it was against the Law for anyone but the priests to eat, and ate them with his companions?"

On another Sabbath he happened to go to the synagogue and teach. There was a man there whose right hand was withered.

And he came down with them and took his stand on a level place with a great throng of his disciples, and a large number of people from all over Judea and from Jerusalem and the seacoast district of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear him and to be cured of their diseases.

And all the people tried to touch him, because power went forth from him and cured them all.

He is like a man who was building a house, who dug deep and laid his foundation upon the rock, and when there was a flood the torrent burst upon that house and could not shake it, because it was well built.

So Jesus went with them. But when he was not far from the house, the captain sent some friends to him, to say to him, "Master, do not take any more trouble, for I am not a suitable person to have you under my roof.

One of the Pharisees asked him to have dinner with him, and he went to the Pharisee's house and took his place at the table.

So take care how you listen. For people who have will have more given to them, and from people who have nothing, even what they think they have will be taken away."

He said to them, "Do not take anything for your journey, no staff nor bag nor bread nor money, nor an extra shirt.

Then the apostles came back and told Jesus what they had done. And he took them and quietly retired to a town called Bethsaida.

Then he took the five loaves and the two fish and looked up to heaven and blessed them, and he broke them in pieces and gave them to the disciples to pass to the people.

And he said to everyone, "If anyone wants to go with me, he must disregard himself, and take his cross day after day and follow me.

It was about eight days after Jesus said this that he took Peter, John, and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.

But Jesus knew the question that was in their minds and he took a child and made him stand by his side,

and he went up to him and dressed his wounds with oil and wine and bound them up. And he put him on his own mule and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

The next day he took out a dollar and gave it to the innkeeper and said, 'Take care of him, and whatever more you spend I will refund to you on my way back.'

He said, "The man who took pity on him." Jesus said to him, "Go and do so yourself!"

Once as he was praying in a certain place, when he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, "Master, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples."

So take care! Your very light may be darkness!

When he said this, a Pharisee asked him to lunch with him, and he went to his house and took his place at table.

But he said, "Yes, alas for you experts in the Law too! For you load men with burdens they can hardly carry, and you will not touch them yourselves with a single finger.

for at the very moment the holy Spirit will teach you what you ought to say."

And he said to them, "Take care! You must be on your guard against any form of greed, for a man's life does not belong to him, no matter how rich he is."

And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have great wealth stored up for years to come. Now take your ease; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself." '

Blessed are the slaves whom their master will find on the watch when he comes. I tell you, he will gird up his robe and make them take their places at table, and go around and wait on them.

He answered, 'Let it stand this one year more, sir, till I dig around it and manure it;

It is like a mustard seed that a man took and dropped in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the wild birds roosted on its branches."

It is like yeast that a woman took and hid in a bushel of flour, till it all rose."

People will come from the east and west and the north and south, and take their places in the Kingdom of God.

One Sabbath, when he went to take a meal at the house of a member of the council who was a Pharisee, they were watching him closely.

But they made no answer. And he took hold of the man and cured him and sent him away.

"When someone invites you to a wedding supper, do not take the best place, for someone more distinguished than you are may have been invited,

and your host will come and say to you 'Make room for this man,' and then you will proceed in confusion to take the poorest place.

But when you are invited anywhere, go and take the poorest place, so that when your host comes in, he will say to you, 'My friend, come to a better place.' So you will be shown consideration before all the other guests.

For no one who does not take up his own cross and come after me can be a disciple of mine.

Then the manager said to himself, 'What am I going to do, because my master is going to take my position away from me? I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.

I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from my position people will take me into their homes.'

So I tell you, make friends for yourselves with your ill-gotten wealth, so that when it fails, they may take you into the eternal dwellings.

And he called to him and said, 'Father Abraham! take pity on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in torment, here in the flames!'

Look out for yourselves! If your brother wrongs you, take it up with him, and if he repents, forgive him.

and raising their voices, said, "Jesus, Master, take pity on us!"

People brought babies to him to have him touch them, but the disciples, when they saw it, reproved them for it.

And he took the Twelve aside and said to them, "See! we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything written in the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.

And he shouted, "Jesus, you Son of David, take pity on me!"

And those who were in front reproved him and told him to be quiet, but he cried out all the louder, "You Son of David, take pity on me!"

And he said to the bystanders, 'Take the twenty dollars away from him, and give it to the man who has the two hundred!'

And they asked him, "Master, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and that you show no favor, but teach the way of God in sincerity.

Then they asked him, "Master, when will this happen, and what will be the sign that it is going to take place?"

And he said, "Take care not to be misled. For many will come under my name, and say, 'I am he,' and 'The time is at hand.' Do not follow them.

But take care that your hearts are not loaded down with self-indulgence and drunkenness and worldly cares, and that day takes you by surprise, like a trap.

When the time came, he took his place at the table, with the apostles about him.

And when he was handed a cup, he thanked God, and then said, "Take this and share it among you, for I tell you,

And he took a loaf of bread and thanked God, and broke it in pieces, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body.

He said to them, "But now, if a man has a purse let him take it, and a bag too. And a man who has no sword must sell his coat and buy one.

and said, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. But not my will but yours be done!"

And Jesus said to the high priests, captains of the Temple, and elders who had come to take him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as though I were a robber?

Then they arrested him and led him away and took him to the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.

Then they arose in a body and took him to Pilate,

So I will teach him a lesson and let him go."

And he said to them a third time, "Why, what has he done that is wrong? For I have found nothing about him to call for his death. So I will teach him a lesson and let him go."

Then he took it down from the cross and wrapped it in linen and laid it in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no one had yet been laid.

And when he took his place with them at table, he took the bread and blessed it and broke it in pieces and handed it to them.

and he took it and ate it before their eyes.
