But how have I this honor, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

"Stop! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--the Holy One of God!"

But Jesus rebuked the demon. "Be silent! Come out from him," he said. The demon flung the man down in the middle of the people, and then came out from him, without causing him further harm.

And they were all lost in amazement, and kept saying to one another: "What words are these? For he gives his commands to the foul spirits with a marvelous authority, and they come out."

So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; and they came and filled both the boats so full of fish that they were almost sinking.

On one of those days, when Jesus was teaching, some Pharisees and Doctors of the Law were sitting near by. (They had come from all the villages in Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was upon Jesus, so that he could work cures.)

I have not come to call the religious, but the outcast, to repent."

But the days will come--a time when the bridegroom will be parted from them; and they will fast then, when those days come."

Jesus, however, knew what was in the their minds, and said to the man whose hand was withered: "Stand up and come out into the middle." The man stood up;

Who had come to hear him and to be restored to health. Those, too, who were troubled with foul spirits were cured;

And, hearing about Jesus, he sent some Jewish Councillors to him, with the request that he would come and save his slave's life.

That was why I did not even venture to come to you myself; but speak, and let my manservant be cured.

For I myself am a man under the orders of others, with soldiers under me; and if I say to one of them 'Go,' he goes, and to another 'Come,' he comes, and to my slave 'Do this,' he does it."

For now that John the Baptist has come, not eating bread or drinking wine, you are saying 'He has a demon in him';

And now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, you are saying 'Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax- gatherers and outcasts.'

Nothing is hidden which will not be brought into the light of day, not ever kept hidden which will not some day become known and come into the light of day.

For Jesus was commanding the foul spirit to come out from the man. On many occasions it had seized him, and, even when secured with chains and fetters, and watched, he would break through anything that bound him, and be driven by the demon into the Wilds.

And a man named Jaeirus, who was a President of the Synagogue, came to Jesus, and threw himself at Jesus' feet, with entreaties that he would come to his house,

The next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met Jesus.

When James and John saw this, they said: "Master, do you wish us to call for fire to come down from the heavens and consume them?"

Then, if any one there is deserving of a blessing, your blessing will rest upon him; but if not, it will come back upon yourselves.

"When you pray," Jesus answered, "say--'Father, May thy named be held holy, thy Kingdom come.

Happy are those servants whom, on his return, the Master will find watching. I tell you that he will make himself ready, and bid them take their places at table, and will come and wait upon them.

Do you also prepare, for when you are least expecting him the Son of Man will come."

That servant's master will come on a day when he does not expect him, and at an hour of which he is unaware, and will flog him severely and assign him his place among the untrustworthy.

And to the people Jesus said: "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once 'There is a storm coming,' and come it does.

You will not, I tell you, come out until you have paid the very last farthing."

Just at that time some people had come to tell Jesus about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.

So he said to his gardener 'Three years now I have come to look for fruit on this fig tree, without finding any! Cut it down. Why should it rob the soil?'

But the President of the Synagogue, indignant that Jesus had worked the cure on the Sabbath, interposed and said to the people: "There are six days on which work ought to be done; come to be cured on one of those, and not on the Sabbath."

When once the master of the house has got up and shut the door, while you begin to say, as you stand outside and knock, 'Sir, open the door for us.' His answer will be--'I do not know where you come from.'

'I do not know where you come from. Leave my presence, all you who are living in wickedness.'

People will come from East and West, and from North and South, and take their places at the banquet in the Kingdom of God.

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she who slays the Prophets and stones the messengers sent to her--Oh, how often have I wished to gather your children round me, as a hen takes her brood under her wings, and you would not come!

And he who invited you both will come and say to you 'Make room for this man,' and then you will begin in confusion to take the lowest place.

No, when you are invited, go and take the lowest place, so that, when he who has invited you comes, he may say to you 'Friend, come higher up'; and then you will be honored in the eyes of all your fellow-guests.

And sent his servant, when it was time for the dinner, to say to those who had been invited 'Come, for everything is now ready.'

While the next said 'I am just married, and for that reason I am unable to come.'

'Go out,' the master said, 'into the roads and hedgerows, and make people come in, so that my house may be filled;

And, on reaching home, he calls his friends and his neighbors together, and says 'Come and rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.'

And, when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, and says 'Come and rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I lost.'

'Your brother has come back,' the servant told him, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.'

But, no sooner has this son of yours come, who has eaten up your property in the company of prostitutes, than you have killed the fattened calf for him.'

For I have five brothers to warn them, so that they may not come to this place of torture also.'

Which of you, if he had a servant ploughing, or tending the sheep, would say to him, when he came in from the fields, 'Come at once and take your place at table,'

Were there none to come back and praise God except this foreigner?

Being once asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God was to come, Jesus answered: "The Kingdom of God does not come in a way that admits of observation,

The day will come," he said to his disciples, "when you will long to see but one of the days of the Son of Man, and will not see it.

Jesus, however, called the little children to him. "Let the little children come to me," he said, "and do not hinder them; for it is to the childlike that the Kingdom of God belongs.

Hearing this, Jesus said to him: "There is one thing still lacking in you; sell everything that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; then come and follow me."

Then Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. And, when he had come close up to him, Jesus asked him:

When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him: "Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I must stop at your house to-day."

"Salvation has come to this house to-day," answered Jesus, "for even this man is a son of Abraham.

The Son of Man has come to 'search for those who are lost' and to save them."

He will come and put those tenants to death, and will let the vineyard to others." "Heaven forbid!" they exclaimed when they heard it.

And Jesus said: "See that you are not led astray; for many will take my name, and come saying 'I am He,' and 'The time is close at hand.' Do not follow them.

Be on your guard lest your minds should ever be dulled by debauches or drunkenness or the anxieties of life, and lest 'That Day' should come suddenly upon you, like a snare.

For come it will upon all who are living upon the face of the whole earth.

And all the people would get up early in the morning and come to listen to him in the Temple Courts.

"Take this and share it among you. For I tell you that I shall not, after to-day, drink of the juice of the grape, till the Kingdom of God has come."

Then, turning to the Chief Priests and Officers in charge at the Temple and Councillors, who had come for him, he said: "Have you come out, as if after a robber, with swords and clubs?

When I was with you day after day in the Temple Courts, you did not lay hands on me; but now your time has come, and the power of Darkness."

But they insisted: "He is stirring up the people by his teaching all through Judea; he began with Galilee and has now come here."

Jesus," he went on, "do not forget me when you have come to your Kingdom."

I myself did not know him, but, that he may be made known to Israel, I have come, baptizing with water."

"Come, and you shall see," he replied. So they went, and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was then about four in the afternoon.

"Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" asked Nathanael. "Come and see," replied Philip.

"What do you want with me?" answered Jesus. "My time has not come yet."

And, when the Master of the Feast had tasted the water which had now become wine, not knowing where it had come from--although the servants who had taken out the water knew--

This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: "Rabbi, we know that you are a Teacher come from God; for no one could give such signs as you are giving, unless God were with him."

The ground of his condemnation is this, that though the Light has come into the world, men preferred the darkness to the Light, because their actions were wicked.

For he who lives an evil life hates the light, and will not come to it, for fear that his actions should be exposed;

"Give me this water, Sir," said the woman, "so that I may not be thirsty, nor have to come all the way here to draw water."

"Go and call your husband," said Jesus, "and then come back."

"I know," answered the woman, "that the Messiah, who is called the Christ, is coming; when once he has come, he will tell us everything."

"Come and see someone who has told me everything that I have done. Can he be the Christ?"

And, when these Samaritans had come to Jesus, they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.

When this man heard that Jesus had returned from Judea to Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.

"Sir," said the officer, "come down before my child dies." And Jesus answered: "Go, your son is living."

In truth I tell you that he who listens to my Message and believes him who sent me, has Immortal Life, and does not come under condemnation, but has already passed out of Death into Life.

And will come out--those who have done good rising to Life, and those who have lived evil lives rising for condemnation.

And, though it is those very Scriptures that bear testimony to me, you refuse to come to me to have life.

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

When the people saw the signs which Jesus gave, they said: "This is certainly 'the Prophet who was to come' into the world."

But Jesus, having discovered that they were intending to come and carry him off to make him King, retired again up the hill, quite alone.

And, getting into a boat, began to cross to Capernaum. By this time darkness had set in, and Jesus had not yet come back to them;

Some boats, however, had come from Tiberias, from near the spot where they had eaten the bread after the Master had said the thanksgiving.

All those whom the Father gives me will come to me; and no one who comes to me will I ever turn away.

For I have come down from Heaven, to do, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me;

"Is not this Jesus, Joseph's son," they asked, "whose father and mother we know? How is it that he now says that he has come down from Heaven?"

"No one can come to me, unless the Father who sent me draws him to me; and I will raise him up at the Last Day.

I am the Living Bread that has come down from Heaven. If any one eats of this Bread, he will live for ever; and the Bread that I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the Life of the world."

That is the Bread which has come down from Heaven--not such as your ancestors ate, and yet died; he who takes this Bread for his food shall live for ever."

And he added: "This is why I told you that no one can come to me, unless enabled by the Father."

"My time," answered Jesus, "is not come yet, but your time is always here.

Go yourselves up to the Festival; I am not going to this Festival yet, because my time has not yet come."

Therefore, Jesus, as he was teaching in the Temple Courts, raised his voice and said: "Yes; you know me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own authority, but he who sent me may be trusted; and him you do not know.

I do know him, for it is from him that I have come, and he sent me as his Messenger."

So they sought to arrest him; but no one touched him, for his time was not come yet.

You will look for me, and you will not find me; and you will not be able to come where I shall be."
