See, the virgin will become pregnant
and give birth to a son,
and they will name Him Immanuel,

which is translated “God is with us.”

After hearing the king, they went on their way. And there it was—the star they had seen in the east! It led them until it came and stopped above the place where the child was.

The people who live in darkness
have seen a great light,
and for those living in the shadowland of death,
light has dawned.

The pure in heart are blessed,
for they will see God.

In the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of people, to be seen by them. Otherwise, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

“Whenever you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by people. I assure you: They’ve got their reward!

But when you pray, go into your private room, shut your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

so that you don’t show your fasting to people but to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

For the idolaters eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.

Hypocrite! First take the log out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

Then Jesus told him, “See that you don’t tell anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses prescribed, as a testimony to them.”

When the demon had been driven out, the man spoke. And the crowds were amazed, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

Jesus replied to them, “Go and report to John what you hear and see:

the blind see, the lame walk, those with skin diseases are healed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news.

As these men went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothes? Look, those who wear soft clothes are in kings’ palaces.

But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.

Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and unable to speak was brought to Him. He healed him, so that the man could both speak and see.

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

For this reason I speak to them in parables, because looking they do not see, and hearing they do not listen or understand.

For this people’s heart has grown callous;
their ears are hard of hearing,
and they have shut their eyes;
otherwise they might see with their eyes
and hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn back—
and I would cure them.

“But your eyes are blessed because they do see, and your ears because they do hear!

For I assure you: Many prophets and righteous people longed to see the things you see yet didn’t see them; to hear the things you hear yet didn’t hear them.

He presented another parable to them: “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

The landowner’s slaves came to him and said, ‘Master, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Then where did the weeds come from?’

He presented another parable to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.

He replied: “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man;

the field is the world; and the good seed—these are the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

I assure you: There are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

“Because of your little faith,” He told them. “For I assure you: If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

“See that you don’t look down on one of these little ones, because I tell you that in heaven their angels continually view the face of My Father in heaven.

Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes. Immediately they could see, and they followed Him.

Tell Daughter Zion,
“Look, your King is coming to you,
gentle, and mounted on a donkey,
even on a colt,
the foal of a beast of burden.”

In the same way, on the outside you seem righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

See, your house is left to you desolate.

For I tell you, you will never see Me again until you say, ‘He who comes in the name of the Lord is the blessed One’!”

Then He replied to them, “Don’t you see all these things? I assure you: Not one stone will be left here on another that will not be thrown down!”

You are going to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, because these things must take place, but the end is not yet.

“So when you see the abomination that causes desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place” (let the reader understand),

“Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the peoples of the earth will mourn; and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

In the same way, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near—at the door!

“Then the man who had received one talent also approached and said, ‘Master, I know you. You’re a difficult man, reaping where you haven’t sown and gathering where you haven’t scattered seed.

“Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink?

When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or without clothes and clothe You?

When did we see You sick, or in prison, and visit You?’

“Then they too will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or without clothes, or sick, or in prison, and not help You?’

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

Meanwhile, Peter was following Him at a distance right to the high priest’s courtyard. He went in and was sitting with the temple police to see the outcome.

“You have said it,” Jesus told him. “But I tell you, in the future you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said.

“What’s that to us?” they said. “See to it yourself!”

When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that a riot was starting instead, he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd, and said, “I am innocent of this man’s blood. See to it yourselves!”

But the rest said, “Let’s see if Elijah comes to save Him!”

He is not here! For He has been resurrected, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay.

Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead. In fact, He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there.’ Listen, I have told you.”

Then Jesus told them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see Me there.”

telling him, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer what Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

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!”

In order to accuse Him, they were watching Him closely to see whether He would heal him on the Sabbath.

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.

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

“The kingdom of God is like this,” He said. “A man scatters seed on the ground;

he sleeps and rises—night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows—he doesn’t know how.

It’s like a mustard seed that, when sown in the soil, is smaller than all the seeds on the ground.

The men who tended them ran off and reported it in the town and the countryside, and people went to see what had happened.

His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing against You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”

So He was looking around to see who had done this.

Do you have eyes, and not see, and do you have ears, and not hear? And do you not remember?

He took the blind man by the hand and brought him out of the village. Spitting on his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him, “Do you see anything?”

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

Again Jesus placed His hands on the man’s eyes, and he saw distinctly. He was cured and could see everything clearly.

Then He said to them, “I assure you: There are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God come in power.”

As they were coming down from the mountain, He ordered them to tell no one what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

Then Jesus answered him, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

“Rabbouni,” the blind man told Him, “I want to see!”

“Go your way,” Jesus told him. “Your faith has healed you.” Immediately he could see and began to follow Him on the road.

Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here on another that will not be thrown down!”

“When you see the abomination that causes desolation standing where it should not” (let the reader understand), “then those in Judea must flee to the mountains!

Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

In the same way, when you see these things happening, know that He is near—at the door!

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

“I am,” said Jesus, “and all of you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe.” Even those who were crucified with Him were taunting Him.

Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, fixed it on a reed, offered Him a drink, and said, “Let’s see if Elijah comes to take Him down!”

“Don’t be alarmed,” he told them. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has been resurrected! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.

But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there just as He told you.’”

Yet, when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.

When he did come out, he could not speak to them. Then they realized that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them and remained speechless.

For you see, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped for joy inside me!

When the angels had left them and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go straight to Bethlehem and see what has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”

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

It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he saw the Lord’s Messiah.

For my eyes have seen Your salvation.

and everyone will see the salvation of God.

Then everyone was astounded, and they were giving glory to God. And they were filled with awe and said, “We have seen incredible things today!”

The scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely, to see if He would heal on the Sabbath, so that they could find a charge against Him.

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself don’t see the log in your eye? Hypocrite! First take the log out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck in your brother’s eye.

He replied to them, “Go and report to John the things you have seen and heard: The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, those with skin diseases are healed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news.
