When the angel spoke again: "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

And they made signs to the child's father, to find out what he wished the child to be called.

And this shall be the sign for you. You will find the infant swathed, and lying in a manger."

So they went quickly, and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in a manger;

And then, as they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching everywhere for him.

It was not till the third day that they found him in the Temple Courts, sitting among the Teachers, now listening to them, now asking them questions.

The book given him was that of the Prophet Isaiah; and Jesus opened the book and found the place where it says--

The Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely, to see if he would work cures on the Sabbath, so that they might find a charge to bring against him.

When they found Jesus, they earnestly implored him to do so. "He is a man who deserves that you should show him this favor," they said,

And, when the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave recovered.

When these men found Jesus, they said: "John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask--'Are you 'The Coming One,' or are we to look for somebody else?'"

The people went out to see what had happened, and, when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at Jesus' feet; and they were awe-struck.

The day was drawing to a close, when the twelve came up to him, and said: "Send the crowd away, so that they may make their way to the villages and farms round about, and find themselves lodgings and provisions, for we are in a lonely spot here."

And, as the voice ceased, Jesus was found alone. The Apostles kept silence, and told no one about any of the things that they had seen.

And so I say to you--Ask, and your prayer shall be granted: search, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.

Happy are those servants whom, on his return, the Master will find watching. I tell you that he will make himself ready, and bid them take their places at table, and will come and wait upon them.

Happy will that servant be whom his master, when he comes home, shall find doing this.

And Jesus told them this parable-- "A man, who had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, came to look for fruit on it, but could not find any.

But the Pharisees and the Teachers of the Law found fault. "This man always welcomes outcasts, and takes meals with them!" they complained.

And, when he has found it, he puts in on his shoulders rejoicing;

And, on reaching home, he calls his friends and his neighbors together, and says 'Come and rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.'

And, when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, and says 'Come and rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I lost.'

For here is my son who was dead, and is alive again, was lost, and is found.' So they began making merry.

We could but make merry and rejoice, for here is your brother who was dead, and is alive; who was lost, and is found.'"

He will, I tell you, have justice done them, and that soon! Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"

Some of the people were bringing even their babies to Jesus, for him to touch them; but, when the disciples saw it, they began to find fault with those who had brought them.

"Go to the village facing us," he said, " and, when you get there, you will find a foal tethered, which no one has yet ridden; untie it and lead it here.

So the two who were sent went and found it as Jesus had told them.

So Peter and John went on, and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

Then he rose from praying, and came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow.

And they began to accuse him: "This is a man whom we found misleading our people, preventing them from paying taxes to the Emperor, and giving out that he himself is 'Christ, a King.'"

But Pilate, turning to the Chief Priests and the people, said: "I do not see anything to find fault with in this man."

And said to them: "You brought this man before me charged with misleading the people; and yet, for my part, though I examined him before you, I did not find this man to blame for any of the things of which you accuse him;

"Why, what harm has this man done?" Pilate said to them for the third time. "I have found nothing in him for which he could be condemned to death. So I will have him scourged, and then release him."

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

And, on going into it, they could not find the body [of the Lord Jesus].

So some of our number went to the tomb and found everything just as the women had said; but they did not see Jesus."

Then they immediately got up and returned to Jerusalem, where they found the Eleven and their companions all together,
