"How can I be sure of this?" Zechariah asked the angel. "For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years."

"How can this be?" Mary asked the angel. "For I have no husband."

But how have I this honor, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

How can you say to your brother 'Brother, let me take out the straw in your eye,' while you yourself do not see the beam in your own? Hypocrite! Take out the beam from your own eye first, and then you will see clearly how to take out the straw in your brother's.

Take care, then, how you listen. For, to all those who have, more will be given; while, from all those who have nothing, even what they seem to have will be taken away."

Those who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been delivered;

"O faithless and perverse generation!" Jesus exclaimed; "how long must I be with you and have patience with you? Lead your son here."

If you, then, naturally wicked though you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those that ask him!"

So, too, if Satan is wholly divided against himself, how can his kingdom last? Yet you say that I drive out demons by the help of Baal-zebub.

Whenever they take you before the Synagogue Courts or the magistrates or other authorities, do not be anxious as to how you will defend yourselves, or what your defense will be, or what you will say;

Think of the ravens--they neither sow nor reap; they have neither storehouse nor barn; and yet God feeds them! And how much more precious are you than birds!

Think of the lilies, and how they grow. They neither toil nor spin; yet, I tell you, even Solomon in all his splendor was not robed like one of these.

If, even in the field, God so clothes the grass which is living to-day and to-morrow will be thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O men of little faith!

There is a baptism that I must undergo, and how great is my distress until it is over!

Hypocrites! You know how to judge of the earth and the sky; how is it, then, that you cannot judge of this time?

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she who slays the Prophets and stones the messengers sent to her--Oh, how often have I wished to gather your children round me, as a hen takes her brood under her wings, and you would not come!

But, when he came to himself, he said 'How many of my father's hired servants have more bread than they can eat, while here am I starving to death!

One by one he called up his master's debtors. 'How much do you owe my master?' he asked of the first.

And you, the steward said to the next, 'how much do you owe?' 'Seventy quarters of wheat,' he replied. 'Here is your agreement,' the steward said; 'make it fifty-six.'

Seeing this, Jesus said to his disciples: "How hard it is for men of wealth to enter the Kingdom of God!

But Jesus said to them: "How is it that people say that the Christ is to be David's son?

David, then, calls him 'lord,' so how is he David's son?"

The women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how the body of Jesus was laid,

[He is not here; but he has risen.] Remember how he spoke to you before he left Galilee--

How he said that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of wicked men, and be crucified, and rise again on the third day."

And how the Chief Priests and our leading men gave him up to be sentenced to death, and afterwards crucified him.

"How our hearts glowed," the disciples said to each other, "while he was talking to us on the road, and when he explained the Scriptures to us!"

So they also related what had happened during their walk, and how they had recognized Jesus at the Breaking of the Bread.
