He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. When you find Him, report back to me so that I too can go and worship Him.”

“Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it.

Hearing this, Jesus was amazed and said to those following Him, “I assure you: I have not found anyone in Israel with so great a faith!

“When you enter any town or village, find out who is worthy, and stay there until you leave.

Anyone finding his life will lose it, and anyone losing his life because of Me will find it.

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.

“When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it roams through waterless places looking for rest but doesn’t find any.

“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure, buried in a field, that a man found and reburied. Then in his joy he goes and sells everything he has and buys that field.

When he found one priceless pearl, he went and sold everything he had, and bought it.

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will find it.

“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.”

“But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him 100 denarii. He grabbed him, started choking him, and said, ‘Pay what you owe!’

Then about five he went and found others standing around, and said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day doing nothing?’

telling them, “Go into the village ahead of you. At once you will find a donkey tied there, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to Me.

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.

Therefore go to where the roads exit the city and invite everyone you find to the banquet.’

So those slaves went out on the roads and gathered everyone they found, both evil and good. The wedding banquet was filled with guests.

Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He asked Peter, “So, couldn’t you stay awake with Me one hour?

And He came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open.

But they could not find any, even though many false witnesses came forward. Finally, two who came forward

As they were going out, they found a Cyrenian man named Simon. They forced this man to carry His cross.

They found Him and said, “Everyone’s looking for You!”

And He asked them, “How many loaves do you have? Go look.”

When they found out they said, “Five, and two fish.”

When she went back to her home, she found her child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.

and told them, “Go into the village ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will find a young donkey tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

So they went and found a young donkey outside in the street, tied by a door. They untied it,

After seeing in the distance a fig tree with leaves, He went to find out if there was anything on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.

Otherwise, he might come suddenly and find you sleeping.

So the disciples went out, entered the city, and found it just as He had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

Then He came and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you sleeping?” He asked Peter. “Couldn’t you stay awake one hour?

And He came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open. They did not know what to say to Him.

The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they could find none.

When he found out from the centurion, he gave the corpse to Joseph.

Then the angel told her:

Do not be afraid, Mary,
for you have found favor with God.

So they motioned to his father to find out what he wanted him to be called.

This will be the sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in cloth and lying in a feeding trough.”

They hurried off and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby who was lying in the feeding trough.

When they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for Him.

After three days, they found Him in the temple complex sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.

The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to Him, and unrolling the scroll, He found the place where it was written:

Since they could not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on the mat through the roof tiles into the middle of the crowd before Jesus.

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.

Jesus heard this and was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, I have not found so great a faith even in Israel!”

When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.

And a woman in the town who was a sinner found out that Jesus was reclining at the table in the Pharisee’s house. She brought an alabaster jar of fragrant oil

Then people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man the demons had departed from, sitting at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.

When the crowds found out, they followed Him. He welcomed them, spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and cured those who needed healing.

Late in the day, the Twelve approached and said to Him, “Send the crowd away, so they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find food and lodging, because we are in a deserted place here.”

After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was found. They kept silent, and in those days told no one what they had seen.

“So I say to you, keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

Those slaves the master will find alert when he comes will be blessed. I assure you: He will get ready, have them recline at the table, then come and serve them.

And He told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He came looking for fruit on it and found none.

He told the vineyard worker, ‘Listen, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it even waste the soil?’

To this they could find no answer.

When he has found it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,

and coming home, he calls his friends and neighbors together, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my lost sheep!’

When she finds it, she calls her women friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found the silver coin I lost!’

because this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

I tell you that He will swiftly grant them justice. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find that faith on earth?”

“At his return, having received the authority to be king, he summoned those slaves he had given the money to, so he could find out how much they had made in business.

and said, “Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter it, you will find a young donkey tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

So those who were sent left and found it just as He had told them.

but they could not find a way to do it, because all the people were captivated by what they heard.

People will faint from fear and expectation of the things that are coming on the world, because the celestial powers will be shaken.

So they went and found it just as He had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

When He got up from prayer and came to the disciples, He found them sleeping, exhausted from their grief.

They began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, opposing payment of taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is the Messiah, a King.”

Pilate then told the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no grounds for charging this man.”

and said to them, “You have brought me this man as one who subverts the people. But in fact, after examining Him in your presence, I have found no grounds to charge this man with those things you accuse Him of.

A third time he said to them, “Why? What has this man done wrong? I have found in Him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore, I will have Him whipped and then release Him.”

They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.

They went in but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

and when they didn’t find His body, they came and reported that they had seen a vision of angels who said He was alive.

Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn’t see Him.”

That very hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem. They found the Eleven and those with them gathered together,

He first found his own brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which means “Anointed One”),

The next day He decided to leave for Galilee. Jesus found Philip and told him, “Follow Me!”

Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law (and so did the prophets): Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth!”

In the temple complex He found people selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and He also found the money changers sitting there.

After this, Jesus found him in the temple complex and said to him, “See, you are well. Do not sin anymore, so that something worse doesn’t happen to you.”

When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”

You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”

Then the Jews said to one another, “Where does He intend to go so we won’t find Him? He doesn’t intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, does He?

What is this remark He made: ‘You will look for Me, and you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’?”

When Jesus heard that they had thrown the man out, He found him and asked, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture.

When Jesus arrived, He found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days.

Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written:

Simon Peter motioned to him to find out who it was He was talking about.

“What is truth?” said Pilate.

After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, “I find no grounds for charging Him.

Pilate went outside again and said to them, “Look, I’m bringing Him outside to you to let you know I find no grounds for charging Him.”

When the chief priests and the temple police saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”

Pilate responded, “Take Him and crucify Him yourselves, for I find no grounds for charging Him.”

“Cast the net on the right side of the boat,” He told them, “and you’ll find some.” So they did, and they were unable to haul it in because of the large number of fish.

After threatening them further, they released them. They found no way to punish them, because the people were all giving glory to God over what had been done;

Instantly she dropped dead at his feet. When the young men came in, they found her dead, carried her out, and buried her beside her husband.

But when the temple police got there, they did not find them in the jail, so they returned and reported,

“We found the jail securely locked, with the guards standing in front of the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”

but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You may even be found fighting against God.” So they were persuaded by him.
