When Joseph got up from sleeping, he did as the Lord’s angel had commanded him. He married her

After they were gone, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Get up! Take the child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to search for the child to destroy Him.”

So he got up, took the child and His mother during the night, and escaped to Egypt.

saying, “Get up! Take the child and His mother and go to the land of Israel, because those who sought the child’s life are dead.”

So he got up, took the child and His mother, and entered the land of Israel.

And don’t presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones!

His winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will clear His threshing floor and gather His wheat into the barn. But the chaff He will burn up with fire that never goes out.”

After Jesus was baptized, He went up immediately from the water. The heavens suddenly opened for Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on Him.

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil.

When He saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain, and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him.

Right away a man with a serious skin disease came up and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. Then she got up and began to serve Him.

So the disciples came and woke Him up, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to die!”

But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, you of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea. And there was a great calm.

The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this?—even the winds and the sea obey Him!”

For which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

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

And he got up and went home.

As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office, and He said to him, “Follow Me!” So he got up and followed Him.

So Jesus and His disciples got up and followed him.

But when the crowd had been put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up.

“Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will even rise up against their parents and have them put to death.

And whoever doesn’t take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.

All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves.

How can someone enter a strong man’s house and steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can rob his house.

The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation; and look—something greater than Jonah is here!

The queen of the south will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and look—something greater than Solomon is here!

As he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate them up.

Others fell on rocky ground, where there wasn’t much soil, and they sprang up quickly since the soil wasn’t deep.

But when the sun came up they were scorched, and since they had no root, they withered.

Others fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them.

Then the disciples came up and asked Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”

“‘An enemy did this!’ he told them.

“‘So, do you want us to go and gather them up?’ the slaves asked him.

“‘No,’ he said. ‘When you gather up the weeds, you might also uproot the wheat with them.

Then He commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them. He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

Everyone ate and was filled. Then they picked up 12 baskets full of leftover pieces!

After dismissing the crowds, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone.

Then the disciples came up and told Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard this statement?”

Moving on from there, Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee. He went up on a mountain and sat there,

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.

Then Jesus came up, touched them, and said, “Get up; don’t be afraid.”

When they looked up they saw no one except Him—Jesus alone.

Jesus replied, “You unbelieving and rebellious generation! How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.”

They will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised up.” And they were deeply distressed.

“But, so we won’t offend them, go to the sea, cast in a fishhook, and take the first fish that you catch. When you open its mouth you’ll find a coin. Take it and give it to them for Me and you.”

Then Jesus said, “Leave the children alone, and don’t try to keep them from coming to Me, because the kingdom of heaven is made up of people like this.”

Just then someone came up and asked Him, “Teacher, what good must I do to have eternal life?”

While going up to Jerusalem, Jesus took the 12 disciples aside privately and said to them on the way:

“Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death.

Seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He went up to it and found nothing on it except leaves. And He said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” At once the fig tree withered.

Jesus answered them, “I assure you: If you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you tell this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will be done.

When He entered the temple complex, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to Him as He was teaching and said, “By what authority are You doing these things? Who gave You this authority?”

“Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him up hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

The same day some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came up to Him and questioned Him:

“Teacher, Moses said, if a man dies, having no children, his brother is to marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

They tie up heavy loads that are hard to carry and put them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves aren’t willing to lift a finger to move them.

“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You lock up the kingdom of heaven from people. For you don’t go in, and you don’t allow those entering to go in.

Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ sins!

As Jesus left and was going out of the temple complex, His disciples came up and called His attention to the temple buildings.

For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

Many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.

“Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps.

“Later the rest of the virgins also came and said, ‘Master, master, open up for us!’

Then He said to them, “My soul is swallowed up in sorrow —to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with Me.”

Get up; let’s go! See, My betrayer is near.”

So he went right up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

“Friend,” Jesus asked him, “why have you come?”

Then they came up, took hold of Jesus, and arrested Him.

Then Jesus told him, “Put your sword back in its place because all who take up a sword will perish by a sword.

The high priest then stood up and said to Him, “Don’t You have an answer to what these men are testifying against You?”

After tying Him up, they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate, the governor.

Above His head they put up the charge against Him in writing:

THIS IS JESUS

THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Jesus shouted again with a loud voice and gave up His spirit.

Just then Jesus met them and said, “Good morning!” They came up, took hold of His feet, and worshiped Him.

As soon as He came up out of the water, He saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending to Him like a dove.

Then they were all amazed, so they began to argue with one another, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.”

So He went to her, took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, He got up, went out, and made His way to a deserted place. And He was praying there.

Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?

“I tell you: get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

Immediately he got up, picked up the mat, and went out in front of everyone. As a result, they were all astounded and gave glory to God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

Then, moving on, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and He said to him, “Follow Me!” So he got up and followed Him.

Then He went up the mountain and summoned those He wanted, and they came to Him.

“On the other hand, no one can enter a strong man’s house and rob his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he will rob his house.

As he sowed, this occurred: Some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

Other seed fell on rocky ground where it didn’t have much soil, and it sprang up right away, since it didn’t have deep soil.

When the sun came up, it was scorched, and since it didn’t have a root, it withered.

Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it didn’t produce a crop.

And when sown, it comes up and grows taller than all the vegetables, and produces large branches, so that the birds of the sky can nest in its shade.”

But He was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him up and said to Him, “Teacher! Don’t You care that we’re going to die?”

He got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Silence! Be still!” The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

And they were terrified and asked one another, “Who then is this? Even the wind and the sea obey Him!”

Then He took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).

Immediately the girl got up and began to walk. (She was 12 years old.) At this they were utterly astounded.

So he swore oaths to her: “Whatever you ask me I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”

Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves. He kept giving them to His disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.

Then they picked up 12 baskets full of pieces of bread and fish.

He got up and departed from there to the region of Tyre and Sidon. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it, but He could not escape notice.

Then, looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (that is, “Be opened!”).

He looked up and said, “I see people—they look to me like trees walking.”
