But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.

Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet:

“In Bethlehem of Judea,” they told him, “because this is what was written by the prophet:

He stayed there until Herod’s death, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled: Out of Egypt I called My Son.

Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled:

Then he went and settled in a town called Nazareth to fulfill what was spoken through the prophets, that He will be called a Nazarene.

This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?

And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing out of the ordinary? Don’t even the Gentiles do the same?

But when you give to the poor, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

“This is why I tell you: Don’t worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing?

So don’t worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’

Don’t give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them with their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.

What man among you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

so that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

He Himself took our weaknesses
and carried our diseases.

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

Suddenly they shouted, “What do You have to do with us, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”

Then the men who tended them fled. They went into the city and reported everything—especially what had happened to those who were demon-possessed.

Go and learn what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice. For I didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

But when they hand you over, don’t worry about how or what you should speak. For you will be given what to say at that hour,

What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light. What you hear in a whisper, proclaim on the housetops.

When John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing, he sent a message by his disciples

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

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.

“To what should I compare this generation? It’s like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to each other:

But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!”

He said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and those who were with him were hungry—

If you had known what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the innocent.

But He said to them, “What man among you, if he had a sheep that fell into a pit on the Sabbath, wouldn’t take hold of it and lift it out?

so that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

Still others fell on good ground and produced a crop: some 100, some 60, and some 30 times what was sown.

He answered them, “Because the secrets of the kingdom of heaven have been given for you to know, but it has not been given to them.

For whoever has, more will be given to him, and he will have more than enough. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

When anyone hears the word about the kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the one sown along the path.

But the one sown on the good ground—this is one who hears and understands the word, who does bear fruit and yields: some 100, some 60, some 30 times what was sown.”

so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled:

I will open My mouth in parables;
I will declare things kept secret
from the foundation of the world.

“Therefore,” He said to them, “every student of Scripture instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who brings out of his storeroom what is new and what is old.”

It’s not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”

But what comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this defiles a man.

What will it benefit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

For the Son of Man is going to come with His angels in the glory of His Father, and then He will reward each according to what he has done.

“Yes,” he said.

When he went into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, “What do you think, Simon? Who do earthly kings collect tariffs or taxes from? From their sons or from strangers?”

What do you think? If a man has 100 sheep, and one of them goes astray, won’t he leave the 99 on the hillside and go and search for the stray?

“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!’

But he wasn’t willing. On the contrary, he went and threw him into prison until he could pay what was owed.

When the other slaves saw what had taken place, they were deeply distressed and went and reported to their master everything that had happened.

So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, man must not separate.”

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

“Why do you ask Me about what is good?” He said to him. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

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

Then Peter responded to Him, “Look, we have left everything and followed You. So what will there be for us?”

Take what’s yours and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you.

Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my business? Are you jealous because I’m generous?’

“What do you want?” He asked her.

“Promise,” she said to Him, “that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right and the other on Your left, in Your kingdom.”

But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you’re asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?”

“We are able,” they said to Him.

Jesus stopped, called them, and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

This took place so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled:

and said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?”

“Yes,” Jesus told them. “Have you never read:

You have prepared praise
from the mouths of children and nursing infants?”

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?”

Jesus answered them, “I will also ask you one question, and if you answer it for Me, then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”

And He said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

“But what do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘My son, go, work in the vineyard today.’

Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”

Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to trap Him by what He said.

Tell us, therefore, what You think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

Now concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read what was spoken to you by God:

“What do you think about the Messiah? Whose Son is He?”

“David’s,” they told Him.

Therefore do whatever they tell you, and observe it. But don’t do what they do, because they don’t practice what they teach.

While He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached Him privately and said, “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what is the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?”

Therefore be alert, since you don’t know what day your Lord is coming.

But know this: If the homeowner had known what time the thief was coming, he would have stayed alert and not let his house be broken into.

So I was afraid and went off and hid your talent in the ground. Look, you have what is yours.’

For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have more than enough. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

I assure you: Wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”

and said, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” So they weighed out 30 pieces of silver for him.

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

What is your decision?”

They answered, “He deserves death!”

But he denied it in front of everyone: “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

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

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

Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:

They took the 30 pieces of silver, the price of Him whose price was set by the Israelites,

Pilate asked them, “What should I do then with Jesus, who is called Messiah?”

They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

Then he said, “Why? What has He done wrong?”

But they kept shouting, “Crucify Him!” all the more.

“What do You have to do with us, Jesus—Nazarene? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

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.”

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.”

The Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”

He said to them, “Have you never read what David and those who were with him did when he was in need and hungry—

Still others fell on good ground and produced a crop that increased 30, 60, and 100 times what was sown.”

He answered them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those outside, everything comes in parables

But the ones sown on good ground are those who hear the word, welcome it, and produce a crop: 30, 60, and 100 times what was sown.”

Then He said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear. By the measure you use, it will be measured and added to you.

For to the one who has, it will be given, and from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.”

And He said: “How can we illustrate the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use to describe it?

And he cried out with a loud voice, “What do You have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God, don’t torment me!”

“What is your name?” He asked him.

“My name is Legion,” he answered Him, “because we are many.”

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

The eyewitnesses described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and told about the pigs.
