Just as they were reported to us by those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses, and afterwards became bearers of the Message.

They were both just in the sight of God, blameless in their obedience to all the commands and regulations of God;

Just then an angel from the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar.

And he shall go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to walk in the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him .

just as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants {forever}."

Just then his mouth was capable of uttering speech, and his tongue could form words, and he praised God.

just as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from earliest times--

Just at this time an edict was issued by Caesar Augustus for the registration of the whole Empire.

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them.

(just as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male that opens the womb will be called holy to the Lord")

And there was a man at Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and he was a just and a religious man, who expected the consolation of Israel; and the holy Spirit was upon him.

by the divine direction he came into the temple, just as the parents of Jesus were bringing in the child to perform what the law required in his behalf.

Just then she came forward and began to thank God and to speak about Jesus to everyone who was waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

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!"

Now it was the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar. Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod was ruler of Galilee, his brother Philip was ruler of the regions of Ituraea and Trachonitus [Note: These two men were sons of Herod the Great (See Matt. 2:1) and ruled over provinces east of the Jordan River] and Lysanias was ruler of Abilene [Note: This was a province just north of the two previously mentioned ones].

Therefore if You worship before me, it will all be Yours.”

But He [just] walked right through them and went on His way.

And it came to pass as he was just at one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy! and seeing Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

And he ordered him, "Tell no one, but go [and] show yourself to the priest and bring [the offering] for your cleansing just as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

Just then some men showed up, carrying a paralyzed man on a stretcher. They were trying to bring him in and place him before Jesus.

I have not come to call just men but sinners to repentance."

And no one [after] drinking old [wine] wants new, because he says, 'The old is [just] fine!'"

"Be glad at such a time, and dance for joy; for your reward is great in Heaven; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the Prophets!

Wo unto you, when men shall speak well of you! for just so did their fathers of the false prophets.

And just as you want people {to do} to you, do {the same} to them.

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful!

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

and so I did not consider myself fit even to come to you. Just say the word, and let my servant be cured.

Just as he approached the gate of the town, there was a dead man being carried out for burial--an only son, and his mother was a widow. A large number of the people of the town were with her.

Just then he cured many of diseases and ailments and evil spirits, and he gave sight to many who were blind.

When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John's baptism.

The Son of Man has come eating and drinking with others, and yet you say, 'Just look at Him! A glutton and a wine-drinker, an intimate friend of tax-collectors and notorious sinners!'

Just then a woman, who was an outcast in the town, having ascertained that Jesus was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster jar of perfume,

Then Jesus turned to the woman [who had just poured the perfume on Him] and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house and you did not give me any water for [washing] my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them dry with her hair.

But as for that seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word with a good and noble heart, and hold on to it tightly, and bear fruit with patience.

They landed in the region of the Gerasenes, which is just across the lake from Galilee.

for they were all waiting for him. Just then there came a man named Jarius, and he was ruler in the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet and begged him to come into his house;

But when Jesus heard this, he told the synagogue leader, "Stop being afraid! Just believe, and she will get well."

He said to them, "Do not take anything with you during your travels; not [even] a walking stick [Note: By comparing this and the restriction in Matt. 10:10, with the permission given in Mark 6:8, the harmony seems to be "if you do not already have a walking stick, do not get one"], or a traveling bag [for personal belongings], or food, or money, or [even] two coats [Note: Mark 6:9 says, "take only one coat" confirming the idea that Jesus was saying, in effect, "do not take anything extra, go just as you are"].

Just as Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter told Jesus, "Master, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." (Peter didn't know what he was saying.)

And just then a man in the crowd shouted out: "Teacher, I entreat you to look at my son, for he is my only child;

And when the disciples James and John saw it, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and destroy them, just as Elias did?

Just then a Student of the Law came forward to test Jesus further. "Teacher," he said, "what must I do if I am to 'gain Immortal Life'?"

And the man answered Him, [Deut. 6:5], "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind." And [Lev. 19:18 says], " [You must love] your neighbor just as [you love] yourself."

And it just happened that a certain priest was traveling down that [same] road, and when he saw the [injured] man, he went around him on the opposite side of the road.

And it happened that while he was in a certain place praying, when he stopped a certain one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples."

for a friend of mine who is on a journey has just come to visit me, and I have nothing to serve him’;

Just as He was saying this, a woman in the crowd lifted her voice and said, "Blessed is the mother who bore you and nursed you!"

For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.

If, then, your whole body is lit up, and no corner of it darkened, the whole will be lit up, just as when a lamp gives you light by its brilliance."

Are not five sparrows sold [i.e., in the market as food] for two coins? [Note: The coins here amount to just over one hour's worth of a farm laborer's pay, or about $8 in 1994]. Yet in the presence of God, not a [single] one of them is forgotten.

Just then a man in the crowd said to Him, "Tell my brother to share with me our inheritance."

Just such is every one who heapeth up treasure for self, and is not rich towards God.

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.

Peter asked, "Lord, are you telling this parable just for us or for everyone?"

Then he said to the people, when you see a cloud rise out of the west, you say, it is just going to rain; and so it happens.

And why even of yourselves do ye not decide what is just?

Just at that time some people had come to tell Jesus about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.

No, I tell you; but unless you repent [i.e., change your hearts and lives], you [too] will all be destroyed just as they were.

I tell you, certainly not. On the contrary, if you do not repent you will all perish just as they did."

But he replied to him, ‘Let it alone, sir, [just] one more year until I dig around it and put in fertilizer;

And just then [He met] a woman who had an [evil] spirit that had caused her to be deformed for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not raise herself up. [Note: This was probably osteomyelitis or osteoporosis].

And someone said to Him, “Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?” And He said to them,

Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said: "Go away and leave this place, for Herod wants to kill you."

O Jerusalem! Jerusalem! thou that killest the prophets, and stonest those who are sent unto thee; how often would I have collected thy children unto me, just as a hen gathereth her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

And there in front of Him was a man who had dropsy (extreme swelling).

And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

But they all in the same attitude began to excuse themselves. The first one said, 'I have just bought a piece of land and I must go and look it over. Please excuse me.'

Another said, 'I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I am on my way to try them. Please excuse me.'

While the next said 'I am just married, and for that reason I am unable to come.'

"Just so any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.

I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

Just so, I tell you, there is joy among the angels of God over one sinful person who repents!"

I am no longer worthy to be called your son; [just] treat me like one of your hired men.”’

His son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your opinion; I no longer deserve to be called your son; just treat me like one of your hired men.'

But we just had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found.'"

Then he asked another, 'And how much do you owe?' 'A hundred quarters of wheat,' he said. 'Here is your bill,' said the factor, 'just enter eighty.'

So He said to them, “You are the ones who declare yourselves just and upright in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts [your thoughts, your desires, your secrets]; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God.

'Child,' answered Abraham, 'remember that you in your lifetime received what you thought desirable, just as Lazarus received what was not desirable; but now he has his consolation here, while you are suffering agony.

For just as the lightning shines forth, flashing from [one place] under heaven to [another place] under heaven, so the Son of Man will be in his day.

And just as it was in the days of Noah, so also it will be in the days of the Son of Man--

Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot--they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building.

Just so will it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.

And will not [our just] God defend and avenge His elect [His chosen ones] who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay [in providing justice] on their behalf?

And he spake to certain trusting upon themselves that they were just, and setting at nought the rest, this parable:

I tell you this man went home approv'd as just, and not the other. for whoever exalteth himself shall be humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Just then, there appeared a man named Zacchaeus, who was a wealthy, chief tax collector.

So he ran on ahead and climbed up in a mulberry tree, just to get a glimpse of Him, for Jesus was coming through on that street.

The gentleman replied to him, 'I will judge you [based] on what you [yourself] have [just] said, you evil slave. [Since] you knew that I am a hard man to deal with, picking up [and keeping] something I had not laid down, and harvesting a crop I had not planted,

said, "Go on to the village in front of you, in which, just as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever yet ridden. Untie it and bring it here to me.

If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' just say, 'The Lord needs it.'"

Then they who were sent, going, found it just as he had described to them.

And as he was drawing near, just at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen;

As He approached it, just as soon as He saw the city, He burst into tears over it,

saying, "If you knew, in this your day??ven you??he things pertaining to peace! but just now were they hid from your eyes!

And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.

which some of the Scribes approving, said to him, master, what you maintain is very just:

They devour widows’ houses and say long prayers just for show. These will receive greater punishment.”

So, they asked Him, saying, "Teacher, when will these things [you just spoke of] happen? And what will be the sign [that indicates] when these things are about to be fulfilled?"
