He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and look carefully for the child. When you find him, inform me so that I can go and worship him as well."

When Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, he became enraged. He sent men to kill all the children in Bethlehem and throughout the surrounding region from the age of two and under, according to the time he had learned from the wise men.

But I say to you that anyone who is angry with a brother will be subjected to judgment. And whoever insults a brother will be brought before the council, and whoever says 'Fool' will be sent to fiery hell.

Everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

Then the demons begged him, "If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs."

Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest."

Jesus sent out these twelve, instructing them as follows: "Do not go to Gentile regions and do not enter any Samaritan town.

"Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.

Now when John heard in prison about the deeds Christ had done, he sent his disciples to ask a question:

The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom everything that causes sin as well as all lawbreakers.

So he sent and had John beheaded in the prison.

When evening arrived, his disciples came to him saying, "This is an isolated place and the hour is already late. Send the crowds away so that they can go into the villages and buy food for themselves."

And after he sent the crowds away, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.

When the people there recognized him, they sent word into all the surrounding area, and they brought all their sick to him.

But he did not answer her a word. Then his disciples came and begged him, "Send her away, because she keeps on crying out after us."

So he answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

Then Jesus called the disciples and said, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have already been here with me three days and they have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away hungry since they may faint on the way."

And after agreeing with the workers for the standard wage, he sent them into his vineyard.

Now when they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

If anyone says anything to you, you are to say, 'The Lord needs them,' and he will send them at once."

When the harvest time was near, he sent his slaves to the tenants to collect his portion of the crop.

Again he sent other slaves, more than the first, and they treated them the same way.

Finally he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

He sent his slaves to summon those who had been invited to the banquet, but they would not come.

Again he sent other slaves, saying, 'Tell those who have been invited, "Look! The feast I have prepared for you is ready. My oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet."'

The king was furious! He sent his soldiers, and they put those murderers to death and set their city on fire.

They sent to him their disciples along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful, and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You do not court anyone's favor because you show no partiality.

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would have none of it!

And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and elders of the people.

Or do you think that I cannot call on my Father, and that he would send me more than twelve legions of angels right now?

As he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent a message to him: "Have nothing to do with that innocent man; I have suffered greatly as a result of a dream about him today."

Immediately Jesus sent the man away with a very strong warning.

He appointed twelve (whom he named apostles), so that they would be with him and he could send them to preach

Then Jesus' mother and his brothers came. Standing outside, they sent word to him, to summon him.

He begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of the region.

And the demonic spirits begged him, "Send us into the pigs. Let us enter them."

Jesus called the twelve and began to send them out two by two. He gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

For Herod himself had sent men, arrested John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because Herod had married her.

So the king sent an executioner at once to bring John's head, and he went and beheaded John in prison.

Send them away so that they can go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy something for themselves to eat."

If I send them home hungry, they will faint on the way, and some of them have come from a great distance."

Jesus sent him home, saying, "Do not even go into the village."

"Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me."

Now as they approached Jerusalem, near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples

If anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord needs it and will send it back here soon.'"

At harvest time he sent a slave to the tenants to collect from them his portion of the crop.

But those tenants seized his slave, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

So he sent another slave to them again. This one they struck on the head and treated outrageously.

He sent another, and that one they killed. This happened to many others, some of whom were beaten, others killed.

He had one left, his one dear son. Finally he sent him to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

Then they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to trap him with his own words.

Then he will send angels and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.

He sent two of his disciples and told them, "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him.

Right away, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived. With him came a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and experts in the law and elders.

The angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.

In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,

For the instant the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.

he has filled the hungry with good things, and has sent the rich away empty.

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and the regaining of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed,

Yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to a woman who was a widow at Zarephath in Sidon.

But Jesus said to them, "I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns too, for that is what I was sent to do."

When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his slave.

So Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof.

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

and sent them to Jesus to ask, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"

When the men came to Jesus, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?'"

The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,

and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

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."

and said to them, "Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me, for the one who is least among you all is the one who is great."

He sent messengers on ahead of him. As they went along, they entered a Samaritan village to make things ready in advance for him,

After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him two by two into every town and place where he himself was about to go.

He said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.

"The one who listens to you listens to me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects the one who sent me."

For this reason also the wisdom of God said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,'

I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the very last cent!"

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would have none of it!

But they remained silent. So Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him away.

At the time for the banquet he sent his slave to tell those who had been invited, 'Come, because everything is now ready.'

If he cannot succeed, he will send a representative while the other is still a long way off and ask for terms of peace.

So he went and worked for one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.

The slave replied, 'Your brother has returned, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he got his son back safe and sound.'

So he called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in anguish in this fire.'

So the rich man said, 'Then I beg you, father -- send Lazarus to my father's house

But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to be king over us!'

Now when he approached Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,

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

When harvest time came, he sent a slave to the tenants so that they would give him his portion of the crop. However, the tenants beat his slave and sent him away empty-handed.

So he sent another slave. They beat this one too, treated him outrageously, and sent him away empty-handed.

So he sent still a third. They even wounded this one, and threw him out.

Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What should I do? I will send my one dear son; perhaps they will respect him.'

Then they watched him carefully and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They wanted to take advantage of what he might say so that they could deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.

Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us to eat."

Then Jesus said to them, "When I sent you out with no money bag, or traveler's bag, or sandals, you didn't lack anything, did you?" They replied, "Nothing."

When he learned that he was from Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who also happened to be in Jerusalem at that time.

Even Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him. Then, dressing him in elegant clothes, Herod sent him back to Pilate.

Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, he has done nothing deserving death.

A man came, sent from God, whose name was John.

Now this was John's testimony when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
