"This is what the Lord did for me when he looked favorably on me and took away my public disgrace."

When the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,

Simeon took the infant in his arms and praised God, saying,

The Devil also took him to a high place and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant.

The Devil also took him into Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the Temple. He told Jesus, "Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here,

He began to teach in their synagogues and was continuously receiving praise from everyone.

So Jesus got into one of the boats (the one that belonged to Simon) and asked him to push out a little from the shore. Then he sat down and began to teach the crowds from the boat.

Some men were bringing a paralyzed man on a stretcher. They were trying to take him into the house and place him in front of Jesus.

How was it that he went into the house of God, took the Bread of the Presence and ate it, which was not lawful for anyone but the priests to eat, and then gave some of it to his companions?"

The entire crowd was trying to touch him, because power was coming out from him and healing all of them.

How can you say to your brother, "Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you don't see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you'll see clearly enough to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

They are like a person building a house, who dug a deep hole to lay the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the floodwaters pushed against that house but couldn't shake it, because it had been founded on the rock.

Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him. So he went to the Pharisee's home and took his place at the table.

There was a woman who was a notorious sinner in that city. When she learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's home, she took an alabaster jar of perfume

But he took her hand and called out, "Young lady, get up!"

He told them, "Don't take anything along on your trip no walking stick, traveling bag, bread, money, or even an extra shirt.

The apostles came back and told Jesus everything they had done. Then he took them away with him privately to a city called Bethsaida.

Now about eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John, and James with him and went up on a mountain to pray.

But Jesus, knowing their inner thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him.

He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

The next day, he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, "Take good care of him. If you spend more than that, I'll repay you when I come back.'

Once Jesus was praying in a certain place. After he had finished, one of his disciples told him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples."

After Jesus had said this, a Pharisee invited him to have a meal with him. So Jesus went and took his place at the table.

because at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you are to say."

Then I'll say to myself, "You've stored up plenty of good things for many years. Take it easy, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself."'

But the gardener replied, "Sir, leave it alone for one more year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.

It is like a mustard seed that someone took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the sky nested in its branches."

It's like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened."

But they kept silent. So he took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him away.

Then the host who invited both of you would come to you and say, "Give this person your place.' In disgrace, you would have to take the place of least honor.

After he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need.

Then they asked him, "Where, Lord, will this take place?" He told them, "Wherever there's a corpse, there the vultures will gather."

Now some people were even bringing their infants to Jesus to have him touch them. But when the disciples saw this, they sternly told the people not to do that.

Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, "Pay attention! We're going up to Jerusalem. Everything written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled,

The king told him, "Well done, good servant! Because you have been trustworthy in a very small thing, take charge of ten cities.'

The king told him, "You take charge of five cities.'

"So the king told those standing nearby, "Take the coin away from him and give it to the man who has the ten coins.'

so they asked him, "Teacher, we know that you're right in what you say and teach, and that you don't favor any individual, but teach the way of God truthfully.

Then they asked him, "Teacher, when will these things take place, and what will be the sign that these things are about to take place?"

When you hear of wars and revolutions, never be alarmed, because these sort of things must take place first, but the end won't come right away."

"But before all these things take place, people will arrest you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake.

"Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is approaching."

I tell all of you with certainty, this generation won't disappear until all these things take place.

"Constantly be on your guard so that your hearts will not be loaded down with self-indulgence, drunkenness, and the worries of this life, or that day will take you by surprise

So be alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place and to take your stand in the presence of the Son of Man."

Now during the day Jesus would teach in the Temple, but when evening came he would go out and spend the night on what is called the Mount of Olives.

Now when the hour came, Jesus took his place at the table, along with his apostles.

Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and said, "Take this and share it among yourselves,

Then he took a loaf of bread, gave thanks, broke it in pieces, and handed it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Keep on doing this in memory of me."

Then he told them, "But now whoever has a wallet must take it along, and his traveling bag, too. And the one who has no sword must sell his coat and buy one.

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

When those who were around Jesus saw what was about to take place, they asked, "Lord, should we attack with our swords?"

Then the whole crowd got up and took him to Pilate.

Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb cut in the rock, in which no one had yet been laid.

While he was at the table with them, he took the bread, blessed it, broke it in pieces, and gave it to them.

Look at my hands and my feet, because it's really me. Touch me and look at me, because a ghost doesn't have flesh and bones as you see that I have."

and he took it and ate it in their presence.
