So the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God!

This will be a sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger."

So they hurried off and located Mary and Joseph, and found the baby lying in a manger.

When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem to look for him.

After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.

and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,

But since they found no way to carry him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down on the stretcher through the roof tiles right in front of Jesus.

The experts in the law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they could find a reason to accuse him.

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him. He turned and said to the crowd that followed him, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith!"

So when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave well.

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

But when the crowds found out, they followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and cured those who needed healing.

Now the day began to draw to a close, so the twelve came and said to Jesus, "Send the crowd away, so they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and food, because we are in an isolated place."

After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. So they kept silent and told no one at that time anything of what they had seen.

"So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.

Then Jesus told this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.

So he said to the worker who tended the vineyard, 'For three years now, I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and each time I inspect it I find none. Cut it down! Why should it continue to deplete the soil?'

Then when he has found it, he places it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

Returning home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, telling them, 'Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost.'

Then when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.'

because this son of mine was dead, and is alive again -- he was lost and is found!' So they began to celebrate.

It was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost and is found.'"

Was no one found to turn back and give praise to God except this foreigner?"

I tell you, he will give them justice speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"

telling them, "Go to the village ahead of you. When you enter it, you will find a colt tied there that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here.

So those who were sent ahead found it exactly as he had told them.

but they could not find a way to do it, for all the people hung on his words.

The chief priests and the experts in the law were trying to find some way to execute Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.

So they went and found things just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

When he got up from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, exhausted from grief.

They began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding us to pay the tribute tax to Caesar and claiming that he himself is Christ, a king."

Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, "I find no basis for an accusation against this man."

and said to them, "You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people. When I examined him before you, I did not find this man guilty of anything you accused him of doing.

A third time he said to them, "Why? What wrong has he done? I have found him guilty of no crime deserving death. I will therefore flog him and release him."

They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb,

but when they went in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

and when they did not find his body, they came back and said they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive.

Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see him."

So they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. They found the eleven and those with them gathered together
