When Joseph awoke from sleep he did what the angel of the Lord told him. He took his wife,

and having summoned together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he enquired of them where the Messiah was to be born: and they told him, at Bethlehem in Judea;

They told him, "At Bethlehem in Judea, for this is what the prophet wrote:

and sent them to Bethlehem. He told them, "As you go, search carefully for the child. When you find him, tell me so that I, too, may go and worship him."

But when John saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he told them, "You children of serpents! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

He told Jesus, "Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written, "God will put his angels in charge of you,' and, "With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.'"

Jesus told him, “It is also written: Do not test the Lord your God.”

He told Jesus, "I will give you all these things if you will bow down and worship me!"

Then Jesus told him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written:

Worship the Lord your God,
and serve only Him.”

“Follow Me,” He told them, “and I will make you fish for people!”

"You have heard that the men of old were told 'You shall not murder,' and 'Whoever murders will have to answer to the court.'

"You have heard that men were told 'You shall not commit adultery.'

"They were told, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'

"Again, you have heard that the men of old were told, 'You shall not swear falsely, but you must fulfil your oaths to the Lord.'

"You have heard that they were told, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'

"You have heard that they were told, 'You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'

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.”

“I will come and heal him,” He told him.

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and told those who were following him, "I tell all of you with certainty, not even in Israel have I found this kind of faith!

Then Jesus told the centurion, “Go. As you have believed, let it be done for you.” And his servant was cured that very moment.

Just then, a scribe came up and told him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

Jesus told him, “Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

Then another of his disciples told him, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."

But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

“Go!” He told them. So when they had come out, they entered the pigs. And suddenly the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the water.

Then the herdsmen fled and went their ways into the city, and told everything, and what had fortuned unto them that were possessed of the devils.

Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Have courage, son, your sins are forgiven.”

Then some of the scribes told themselves, "This fellow is blaspheming!"

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 as Jesus passed by from thence, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at the place of toll: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

While he told these things to them, suddenly a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."

And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They told him, "Yes, Lord."

And their eyes were opened. Then Jesus sternly told them, "See to it that nobody knows about this."

Then he told his disciples, "The harvest is vast, but the workers are few.

But when they turn you over [to them], do not worry about how to speak or what you should say. For you will be told [i.e., by God] what to say at the right time.

The, blind, recover sight, and, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear, - and, the dead, are raised, and, the destitute, are told the joyful tidings;

When the Pharisees saw this, they told him, "Look! Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!"

But he told them, "Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

Then He told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored, as good as the other.

Knowing their thoughts, He told them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees told Jesus, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you."

In reply Jesus told them. "An evil and faithless generation seeks a sign, and no sign will be given them except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

And someone told him, "Behold, your mother and your brothers are standing there outside desiring to speak to you."

But he answered [and] said to the one who told him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?"

And in stories, by way of comparison, He told them many things, as He continued to speak: "A sower went out to sow,

He told them another story, as follows: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed seed in his field.

“‘An enemy did this!’ he told them.

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

He told them this story, as follows: "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field.

He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took [and] put into three measures of wheat flour until the whole [batch] was leavened."

Jesus told the crowds all this in stories, and without a story He told them nothing,

“Have you understood all these things?”

“Yes,” they told Him.

Then he told them, "That is why every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom from heaven is like the master of a household who brings both new and old things out of his treasure chest."

But Jesus told them, "A prophet is without honor only in his hometown and in his own home." He did not perform many miracles there because of their unbelief.

“This is John the Baptist!” he told his servants. “He has been raised from the dead, and that’s why supernatural powers are at work in him.”

since John had told him, "You have no right to her."

And his disciples came [and] took away the corpse and buried it, and went [and] told Jesus.

“They don’t need to go away,” Jesus told them. “You give them something to eat.”

They told him, "We only have here five loaves and two fish."

and He told all the people to sit down on the grass. Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and after looking up to heaven and blessing them, He broke up the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples distributed them to the people.

"Have courage!" Jesus immediately told them. "It's me. Stop being afraid!"

Summoning the crowd, He told them, “Listen and understand:

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

Then Peter told him, "Explain to us this parable."

He told the crowd to sit down on the ground.

Then Jesus told them, “Watch out and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Why is it you don’t understand that when I told you, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees,’ it wasn’t about bread?”

Then they understood that he had not told them to be on guard against the yeast in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

They told him, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

Then Jesus told him, "How blessed you are, Simon son of Jonah, since flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, though my Father in heaven has.

But He turned and told Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns, but man’s.”

Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continuously.

Then Peter told Jesus, "Lord, it's good that we're here! If you want, I'll set up three shelters one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

Then understood the disciples that he told them of John the Baptist.

“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.

As they were meeting in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.

He saith, Yea. And when he came into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? from their sons, or from strangers?

“From strangers,” he said.

“Then the sons are free,” Jesus told him.

So Jesus told him, "In that case, the subjects are exempt. However, so that we don't offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, open its mouth, and you will find a coin. Take it and give it to them for me and you."

Jesus told him, "I tell you, not just seven times, but 77 times!

When his other fellows saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their Lord all that had happened.

Then his master sent for him and told him, "You evil servant! I canceled that entire debt for you because you begged me.

He told them, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of the hardness of your hearts. But it was not like that from the beginning.

But He told them, “Not everyone can accept this saying, but only those it has been given to.

“I have kept all these,” the young man told Him. “What do I still lack?”

Jesus told him, "If you want to be perfect, go and sell what you own and give the money to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me."

Then Jesus told his disciples, "I tell all of you with certainty, it will be hard for a rich person to get into the kingdom from heaven.

Jesus told them, "I tell all of you with certainty, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne in the renewed creation, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, governing the twelve tribes of Israel.

He told them, "You go into the vineyard, too, and I will pay you whatever is right.'

“‘Because no one hired us,’ they said to him.

“‘You also go to my vineyard,’ he told them.

When evening came, the owner of the vineyard told his foreman, ‘Call the workers and give them their pay, starting with the last and ending with the first.’

"But he told one of them, "Friend, I'm not treating you unfairly. You did agree with me for a denarius, didn't you?

When Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside and told them as they were walking along,

He asked her, "What do you want?" She told him, "Promise that in your kingdom these two sons of mine will sit on your right and on your left."

Jesus replied, "You don't realize what you're asking. Can you drink from the cup that I'm going to drink from?" They told him, "We can."

He told them, “You will indeed drink My cup. But to sit at My right and left is not Mine to give; instead, it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.”

The crowd told them to keep quiet, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”

They told him, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened."

told them, "Go into the village ahead of you. At once you will find a donkey tied up and a colt with it. Untie them, and bring them to me.

So the disciples went and did as Jesus told them;

and told them, "It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you make it a den of robbers."
