And [when he] came out he was not able to speak to them, and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he kept making signs to them, and remained unable to speak.

And it happened that when the angels had departed from them into heaven, the shepherds began to say to one another, "Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has revealed to us!"

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

And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit [that he would] not see death before he would see the Lord's Christ.

For my eyes have seen your salvation

and all flesh will see the salvation of God.'"

And amazement seized [them] all, and they began to glorify God. And they were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen wonderful things today!"

So the scribes and the Pharisees were watching closely [to see] if he would heal on the Sabbath, in order that they could find [a reason] to accuse him.

And why do you see the speck [that is] in your brother's eye, but do not notice the beam of wood [that is] in your own eye?

How are you able to say to your brother, "Brother, allow [me] to remove the speck [that is] in your eye," [while] you yourself do not see the beam of wood in your [own] eye? Hypocrite! First remove the beam of wood from your [own] eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck [that is] in your brother's eye!

And he answered [and] said to them, "Go [and] tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear; the dead are raised, the poor have good news announced to [them].

And [when] the messengers of John had departed, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are in splendid clothing and luxury are in the royal palaces.

But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!

And turning toward the woman, he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered into your house. You did not give me water for [my] feet, but she wet my feet with [her] tears and wiped [them] with her hair.

"The sower went out to sow his seed, and while he was sowing, {some seed} fell on the side of the path and was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.

And other [seed] fell on the rock, and [when it] came up, it withered, because it did not have moisture.

And other [seed] fell in the midst of the thorn plants, and the thorn plants grew up with [it] [and] choked it.

And other [seed] fell on the good soil, and [when it] came up, it produced a hundred times as much grain." [As he] said these [things], he called out, "The one who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

And he said, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest [they are] in parables, so that 'Seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'

Now the parable means this: the seed is the word of God,

And the [seed] that fell into the thorn plants--these are the ones who hear and [as they] go along are choked by the worries and riches and pleasures of life, and they do not bear fruit to maturity.

But the [seed] on the good soil--these are the ones who, [after] hearing the word, hold fast to [it] with a noble and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.

"And no one, [after] lighting a lamp, covers it with a jar or puts [it] under a bed, but puts [it] on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light.

So they went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting [there] clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid.

And those who had seen [it] reported to them how the man who had been demon-possessed had been healed.

And Herod said, "John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?" And he was wanting to see him.

But I tell you truly, there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the kingdom of God."

And after the voice had occurred, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

And turning to the disciples, he said privately, "Blessed [are] the eyes that see [the things] which you see!

For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see [the things] which you see, and did not see [them], and to hear [the things] which you hear, and did not hear [them]."

And I tell you, ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened for you.

"No one [after] lighting a lamp puts [it] in a cellar or under a bushel basket, but on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light.

For all the nations of the world seek after these [things], and your Father knows that you need these [things].

But seek his kingdom and these [things] will be added to you.

And he also said to the crowds, "When you see a cloud coming up in the west, you say at once, 'A rainstorm is coming,' and so it happens.

And when [you see] the south wind blowing, you say, 'There will be burning heat,' and it happens.

It is like a mustard seed that a man took [and] sowed in his own garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the sky nested in its branches."

"Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able to,

In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves thrown outside!

Behold, your house has been left to you! And I tell you, you will never see me until [the time] will come when you say, 'Blessed [is] the one who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

For which of you, wanting to build a tower, does not first sit down [and] calculate the cost [to see] if he has [enough] {to complete it}?

{Otherwise} [after] he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish [it], all who see [it] will begin to ridicule him,

So the Lord said, "If you have faith like a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

And he said to the disciples, "Days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see [it].

And will not God surely {see to it that justice is done} to his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night, and will he delay toward them?

I tell you that {he will see to it that justice is done} for them soon! Nevertheless, [when] the Son of Man comes, then will he find faith on earth?"

And he was seeking to see Jesus--who he was--and he was not able to as a result of the crowd, because he was short in stature.

And he ran on ahead [and] climbed up into a sycamore tree so that he could see him, because he was going to go through [that way].

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save those who are lost."

Now [as] he was drawing near by this time to the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a loud voice for all the miracles that they had seen,

"[As for] these [things] that you see--days will come in which not [one] stone will be left on [another] stone that will not be thrown down!"

"But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near.

And then they will see the Son of Man arriving in a cloud with power and great glory.

When they put out [foliage], now you see for yourselves [and] know that by this time the summer is near.

So also you, when you see these [things] happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.

And [when] Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him and was hoping to see some miracle performed by him.

and [when they] did not find his body, they came back saying [they] had seen even a vision of angels, who said [that] he was alive!

And some of those with us went out to the tomb and found [it] like this, just as the women had also said, but him they did not see."

But they were startled and became terrified, [and] thought [they] had seen a ghost.

Look at my hands and my feet, that I am I myself! Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as {you see that I have}."
