Then the angel told her:

Do not be afraid, Mary,
for you have found favor with God.

After seeing them, they reported the message they were told about this child,

The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had seen and heard, just as they had been told.

Then Simeon blessed them and told His mother Mary: “Indeed, this child is destined to cause the fall and rise of many in Israel and to be a sign that will be opposed—

He told them, “Don’t collect any more than what you have been authorized.”

and so were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s partners.

“Don’t be afraid,” Jesus told Simon. “From now on you will be catching people!”

But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—He told the paralyzed man, “I tell you: Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

He also told them a parable: “No one tears a patch from a new garment and puts it on an old garment. Otherwise, not only will he tear the new, but also the piece from the new garment will not match the old.

Then He told them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

But He knew their thoughts and told the man with the paralyzed hand, “Get up and stand here.” So he got up and stood there.

After looking around at them all, He told him, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was restored.

He also told them a parable: “Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit?

Then John’s disciples told him about all these things. So John summoned two of his disciples

Simon answered, “I suppose the one he forgave more.”

“You have judged correctly,” He told him.

He was told, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

One day He and His disciples got into a boat, and He told them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they set out,

“Take nothing for the road,” He told them, “no walking stick, no traveling bag, no bread, no money; and don’t take an extra shirt.

“You give them something to eat,” He told them.

“We have no more than five loaves and two fish,” they said, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.”

(For about 5,000 men were there.)

Then He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about 50 each.”

After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was found. They kept silent, and in those days told no one what they had seen.

And they were all astonished at the greatness of God.

While everyone was amazed at all the things He was doing, He told His disciples,

He told them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me. And whoever welcomes Me welcomes Him who sent Me. For whoever is least among you—this one is great.”

“Don’t stop him,” Jesus told him, “because whoever is not against you is for you.”

Jesus told him, “Foxes have dens, and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

But He told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and spread the news of the kingdom of God.”

He told them: “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.

“You’ve answered correctly,” He told him. “Do this and you will live.”

“The one who showed mercy to him,” he said.

Then Jesus told him, “Go and do the same.”

Knowing their thoughts, He told them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction, and a house divided against itself falls.

He then told them, “Watch out and be on guard against all greed because one’s life is not in the abundance of his possessions.”

Then He told them a parable: “A rich man’s land was very productive.

And He told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He came looking for fruit on it and found none.

He told the vineyard worker, ‘Listen, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it even waste the soil?’

At that time some Pharisees came and told Him, “Go, get out of here! Herod wants to kill You!”

He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noticed how they would choose the best places for themselves:

Then He told him: “A man was giving a large banquet and invited many.

“So the slave came back and reported these things to his master. Then in anger, the master of the house told his slave, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in here the poor, maimed, blind, and lame!’

“Then the master told the slave, ‘Go out into the highways and lanes and make them come in, so that my house may be filled.

So He told them this parable:

“But the father told his slaves, ‘Quick! Bring out the best robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

‘Your brother is here,’ he told him, ‘and your father has slaughtered the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’

“‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he said.

“‘Take your invoice,’ he told him, ‘sit down quickly, and write 50.’

“Next he asked another, ‘How much do you owe?’

“‘A hundred measures of wheat,’ he said.

“‘Take your invoice,’ he told him, ‘and write 80.’

And He told them: “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the sight of others, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly admired by people is revolting in God’s sight.

“But he told him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.’”

When He saw them, He told them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And while they were going, they were healed.

And He told him, “Get up and go on your way. Your faith has made you well.”

Then He told the disciples: “The days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you won’t see it.

He then told them a parable on the need for them to pray always and not become discouraged:

He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and looked down on everyone else:

When Jesus heard this, He told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

Then He took the Twelve aside and told them, “Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem. Everything that is written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.

“Jesus the Nazarene is passing by,” they told him.

Then those in front told him to keep quiet, but he kept crying out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

“Receive your sight!” Jesus told him. “Your faith has healed you.”

“Today salvation has come to this house,” Jesus told him, “because he too is a son of Abraham.

He called 10 of his slaves, gave them 10 minas, and told them, ‘Engage in business until I come back.’

“‘Well done, good slave!’ he told him. ‘Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, have authority over 10 towns.’

“He told him, ‘I will judge you by what you have said, you evil slave! If you knew I was a tough man, collecting what I didn’t deposit and reaping what I didn’t sow,

So those who were sent left and found it just as He had told them.

Some of the Pharisees from the crowd told Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.”

Then the scribes and the chief priests looked for a way to get their hands on Him that very hour, because they knew He had told this parable against them, but they feared the people.

“Well then,” He told them, “give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s.”

Jesus told them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

Then He told them: “Nation will be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

Then He told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.

So they went and found it just as He had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

“Lord,” he told Him, “I’m ready to go with You both to prison and to death!”

“Lord,” they said, “look, here are two swords.”

“Enough of that!” He told them.

When He reached the place, He told them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

Pilate then told the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no grounds for charging this man.”

Then He told them, “These are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”
