So he got up, took the child and His mother, and entered the land of Israel.

“I baptize you with water for repentance, but the One who is coming after me is more powerful than I. I am not worthy to remove His sandals. He Himself will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

And there came a voice from heaven:

This is My beloved Son.
I take delight in Him!

Then the Devil took Him to the holy city, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple,

Again, the Devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.

Then He began to teach them, saying:

But I tell you, don’t take an oath at all: either by heaven, because it is God’s throne;

As for the one who wants to sue you and take away your shirt, let him have your coat as well.

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and look, there’s a log in your eye?

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.

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

He Himself took our weaknesses
and carried our diseases.

for she said to herself, “If I can just touch His robe, I’ll be made well!”

But when the crowd had been put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up.

Jesus sent out these 12 after giving them instructions: “Don’t take the road leading to other nations, and don’t enter any Samaritan town.

Don’t take along gold, silver, or copper for your money-belts.

Don’t take a traveling bag for the road, or an extra shirt, sandals, or a walking stick, for the worker is worthy of his food.

And whoever doesn’t take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.

When Jesus had finished giving orders to His 12 disciples, He moved on from there to teach and preach in their towns.

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.

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?

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 told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into 50 pounds of flour until it spread through all of it.”

He went to His hometown and began to teach them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “How did this wisdom and these miracles come to Him?

Then He commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them. He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

They were begging Him that they might only touch the tassel on His robe. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.

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

He answered, “It isn’t right to take the children’s bread and throw it to their dogs.”

He took the seven loaves and the fish, and He gave thanks, broke them, and kept on giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

The disciples reached the other shore, and they had forgotten to take bread.

Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, “Oh no, Lord! This will never happen to You!”

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.

While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said:

This is My beloved Son.
I take delight in Him.
Listen to Him!

“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 if he won’t listen, take one or two more with you, so that by the testimony of two or three witnesses every fact may be established.

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

While going up to Jerusalem, Jesus took the 12 disciples aside privately and said to them on the way:

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

“Listen to another parable: There was a man, a landowner, who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a winepress in it, and built a watchtower. He leased it to tenant farmers and went away.

But the farmers took his slaves, beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.

“But when the tenant farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance!’

They sent their disciples to Him, with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are truthful and teach truthfully the way of God. You defer to no one, for You don’t show partiality.

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

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.

Then many will take offense, betray one another and hate one another.

Take note: I have told you in advance.

I assure you: This generation will certainly not pass away until all these things take place.

“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like 10 virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.

When the foolish took their lamps, they didn’t take olive oil with them.

But the sensible ones took oil in their flasks with their lamps.

But the man who had received one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.

“‘So take the talent from him and give it to the one who has 10 talents.

For I was hungry
and you gave Me something to eat;
I was thirsty
and you gave Me something to drink;
I was a stranger and you took Me in;

I was naked and you clothed Me;
I was sick and you took care of Me;
I was in prison and you visited Me.’

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

I was a stranger
and you didn’t take Me in;
I was naked
and you didn’t clothe Me,
sick and in prison
and you didn’t take care of Me.’

As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take and eat it; this is My body.”

Then He took a cup, and after giving thanks, He gave it to them and said, “Drink from it, all of you.

“Friend,” Jesus asked him, “why have you come?”

Then they came up, took hold of Jesus, and arrested Him.

Then Jesus told him, “Put your sword back in its place because all who take up a sword will perish by a sword.

The chief priests took the silver and said, “It’s not lawful to put it into the temple treasury, since it is blood money.”

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,

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!”

Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into headquarters and gathered the whole company around Him.

Then they spit on Him, took the reed, and kept hitting Him on the head.

So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in clean, fine linen,

Just then Jesus met them and said, “Good morning!” They came up, took hold of His feet, and worshiped Him.

So they took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been spread among Jewish people to this day.

And a voice came from heaven:

You are My beloved Son;
I take delight in You!

Then they went into Capernaum, and right away He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach.

So He went to her, took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.

Since He had healed many, all who had diseases were pressing toward Him to touch Him.

Again He began to teach by the sea, and a very large crowd gathered around Him. So He got into a boat on the sea and sat down, while the whole crowd was on the shore facing the sea.

So they left the crowd and took Him along since He was already in the boat. And other boats were with Him.

For she said, “If I can just touch His robes, I’ll be made well!”

They started laughing at Him, but He put them all outside. He took the child’s father, mother, and those who were with Him, and entered the place where the child was.

Then He took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).

When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these things?” they said. “What is this wisdom given to Him, and how are these miracles performed by His hands?

He instructed them to take nothing for the road except a walking stick: no bread, no traveling bag, no money in their belts.

So as He stepped ashore, He saw a huge crowd and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. Then He began to teach them many things.

Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves. He kept giving them to His disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.

Wherever He would go, into villages, towns, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him that they might touch just the tassel of His robe. And everyone who touched it was made well.

He said to her, “Allow the children to be satisfied first, because it isn’t right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

So He took him away from the crowd privately. After putting His fingers in the man’s ears and spitting, He touched his tongue.

They had forgotten to take bread and had only one loaf with them in the boat.

Then they came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to Him and begged Him to touch him.

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?”

Then He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, be killed, and rise after three days.

He was openly talking about this. So Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.

Summoning the crowd along with His disciples, He said to them, “If anyone wants to be My follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up on a high mountain by themselves to be alone. He was transformed in front of them,

Then He took a child, had him stand among them, and taking him in His arms, He said to them,

Some people were bringing little children to Him so He might touch them, but His disciples rebuked them.

Then He began to teach them: “Is it not written, My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations? But you have made it a den of thieves!”

Then He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug out a pit for a winepress, and built a watchtower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and went away.

But they took him, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

When they came, they said to Him, “Teacher, we know You are truthful and defer to no one, for You don’t show partiality but teach truthfully the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?

“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, leaves his wife behind, and leaves no child, his brother should take the wife and produce offspring for his brother.

There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying, left no offspring.

The second also took her, and he died, leaving no offspring. And the third likewise.
