Then Zechariah said to the angel, "How shall I know that this is so? For I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in years."

But Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I have no husband?"

When His parents saw Him, they were utterly amazed, and yet His mother said to Him, "My child, why did you treat us so? Just see how your father and I, in agony of mind, have been searching for you!"

How he went into the house of God and took and ate the sacred loaves, which it was against the law for anyone to eat except the priests, and gave some to his soldiers?"

How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me get that tiny speck out of your eye,' when you cannot see the girder in your own eye? You hypocrite! First get the girder out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to get out the tiny speck in your brother's eye.

So take care how you listen, for whoever gets more will have more given to him, and whoever does not get more will have even what he thinks he has taken away from him."

Then they who had seen it told them how the man who had been under the power of demons was cured.

When the woman saw that she had not escaped His notice, she came forward trembling, and falling down before Him she told in the presence of all the people why she had touched Him and how she had been cured at once.

Then Jesus answered, "O you unbelieving, stubborn people of the times! How long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring him here to me."

And if Satan is really disunited, how can his kingdom last? Yet you say that I am driving the demons out with Beelzebub's help.

Now when they are bringing you before the synagogues or the magistrates or the authorities, never worry about how to defend yourselves, or what to say,

Just think of the ravens! For they neither sow nor reap, they have no storehouses nor barns, and yet God continues to feed them. How much more are you worth than the birds!

Just think of how the lilies grow. They do not toil nor spin. But, I tell you, not even Solomon, in all his splendor, was ever dressed like one of them.

Now if God so gorgeously dresses the wild grass which today is green but tomorrow is tossed into the furnace, how much more surely will He clothe you, O you with little faith?

"It is fire that I have come to bring upon the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am pressed with anguish till it is accomplished!

You hypocrites! You know how to interpret day by day the look of earth and sky. Then how is it that you do not know how to interpret the present crisis?

"O Jerusalem! Jerusalem! The city that continues to murder the prophets, and to stone those who are sent to her, how often I have yearned to gather your children around me, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings. But you refused!

When He noticed how the guests were picking out the best places, He told them the following story:

Salt is good, but if salt itself loses its strength, how can that strength be restored?

Then he came to himself and said, 'How many of my father's hired men have more to eat than they need, and here I am dying of hunger!

So he called the manager to him and said, 'What is this that I am hearing about you? Balance your accounts and show how you are conducting my affairs, for you cannot be manager any longer.'

So he called in each of his master's debtors, and asked the first one, 'How much do you owe my master?'

Then he asked another, 'And how much do you owe?' He answered, 'Twelve hundred bushels of wheat:' He said to him, 'Take your bill and write nine hundred and sixty.'

Now He told them the following story to show how necessary it is for people always to pray and never to give up:

So when Jesus saw it, He said, "How hard it is for those who have money to get into the kingdom of God!

Then He said to them, "How do people say that the Christ is David's Son?

So David calls Him Lord, then how can He be his Son?"

Now while some people were talking about the temple, how it was decorated with beautiful stones and votive-offerings, He said,

So you must purpose in your hearts not to prepare beforehand how to make your defense,

So the high priests and the scribes continued to seek how they might put Him to death, for they were afraid of the people.

So he went off and discussed with the high priests and captains of the temple how he could betray Him to them.

So the women, who had come with Jesus from Galilee, followed closely after Joseph and saw the tomb and how His body was laid there.

and how the high priests and leading men turned Him over to be sentenced to death, and had Him crucified.

Then they themselves began to tell what had occurred on the road, and how He was recognized by them when He broke the loaf in pieces.
