Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand, touched him, and told him, "I do want to. Be made clean!"

But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"" Then he told the paralyzed man,

screaming in a loud voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you in the name of God never to torment me!"

When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. So the king told the girl, "Ask me for anything you want, and I'll give it to you."

Immediately the girl hurried back to the king with her request, "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

Then Jesus called the crowd to himself along with his disciples and told them, "If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continuously,

because whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and for the gospel will save it.

Then they left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus didn't want anyone to find out about it,

So he sat down, called the Twelve, and told them, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."

James and John, the sons of Zebedee, went to Jesus and told him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you."

He asked them, "What do you want me to do for you?"

That's not the way it should be among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

and whoever wants to be first among you must be a slave to everyone,

Then Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man told him, "Rabbouni, I want to see again."

because you'll always have the destitute with you and can help them whenever you want, but you won't always have me.

On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus' disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover meal?"

He kept repeating, "Abba! Father! All things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I want but what you want."

Pilate answered them, "Do you want me to release the king of the Jews for you?"

"Oh, no! 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!"

One day, while Jesus was in one of the cities, a man covered with leprosy saw Jesus and fell on his face, begging him, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean."

So Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying, "I do want to. Be clean!" Instantly the leprosy left him.

No one who has been drinking old wine wants new wine, because he says, "The old wine is good enough!'"

Whatever you want people to do for you, do the same for them.

Jesus was told, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside and want to see you."

When he saw Jesus, he screamed, fell down in front of him, and cried out in a loud voice, "What do you want from me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torture me!"

Then he told all of them, "If anyone wants to come with me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross every day, and follow me continuously,

because whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.

When his disciples James and John observed this rejection, they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?"

I tell you, even though that man doesn't want to get up and give him anything because he is his friend, he will get up and give him whatever he needs because of his persistence.

At that hour some Pharisees came and told Jesus, "Leave and get away from here, because Herod wants to kill you!"

"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. He will first sit down and estimate the cost to see whether he has enough money to finish it, won't he?

Besides all this, a wide chasm has been fixed between us, so that those who want to cross from this side to you cannot do so, nor can they cross from your side to us.'

"What do you want me to do for you?" He said, "Lord, I want to see again!"

But the citizens of his country hated him and sent a delegation to follow him and to announce, "We don't want this man to rule over us!'

But as for these enemies of mine who didn't want me to be their king bring them here and slaughter them in my presence!'"

They asked him, "Where do you want us to prepare it?"

The wind blows where it wants to. You hear its sound, but you don't know where it comes from or where it is going. That's the way it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

At this point his disciples arrived, and they were astonished that he was talking to a woman. Yet no one said, "What do you want from her?" or, "Why are you talking to her?"

When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?"

So Jesus asked the Twelve, "You don't want to leave, too, do you?"

After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee, because he didn't want to travel in Judea, since the Jewish leaders there were trying to kill him.

since no one acts in secret if he wants to be known publicly. If you're going to do these things, you should reveal yourself to the world!"

If anyone wants to do his will, he'll know whether this teaching is from God or whether I'm speaking on my own.

You belong to your father the Devil, and you want to carry out the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and has never stood for truth, since there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

He answered them, "I've already told you, but you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become his disciples, too, do you?"

"If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you can ask for anything you want, and you'll receive it.

Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am and to see my glory, which you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

But you have a custom that I release one person for you at Passover. Do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?"

Since it was the Preparation Day, the Jewish leaders did not want to leave the bodies on the crosses during the Sabbath, because that was a particularly important Sabbath. So they asked Pilate to have the men's legs broken and the bodies removed.

Jesus told him, "Feed my sheep. "Truly, I tell you emphatically, when you were young, you would fasten your belt and go wherever you liked. But when you get old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten your belt and take you where you don't want to go."

You don't want to kill me like you killed the Egyptian yesterday, do you?'

But if you want anything else, it must be settled in the regular assembly,

Now then, you and the Council must notify the tribune to bring him down to you on the pretext that you want to look into his case more carefully, but before he arrives we'll be ready to kill him."

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now), so that I might reap a harvest among you, just as I have among the rest of the gentiles.

I don't understand what I am doing. For I don't practice what I want to do, but instead do what I hate.

Now if I practice what I don't want to do, I am admitting that the Law is good.

For I don't do the good I want to do, but instead do the evil that I don't want to do.

But if I do what I don't want to do, I am no longer the one who is doing it, but it is the sin that is living in me.

So I find this to be a principle: when I want to do what is good, evil is right there with me.

For he says to Moses, "I will be merciful to the person I want to be merciful to, and I will be kind to the person I want to be kind to."

A potter has the right to do what he wants to with his clay, doesn't he? He can make something for a special occasion or something for ordinary use from the same lump of clay.

Now if God wants to demonstrate his wrath and reveal his power, can't he be extremely patient with the objects of his wrath that are made for destruction?

For I want to let you know about this secret, brothers, so that you will not claim to be wiser than you are: Stubbornness has come to part of Israel until the full number of the gentiles comes to faith.

But now, having no further opportunities in these regions, I want to come to you, as I've desired to do for many years.

For your obedience has become known to everyone, and I am full of joy for you. But I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.

You already have all you want! You have already become rich! You have become kings without us! I wish you really were kings so that we could be kings with you!

But if you do get married, you have not sinned. And if a virgin gets married, she has not sinned. However, these people will experience trouble in this life, and I want to spare you from that.

I want you to be free from concerns. An unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord, that is, about how he can please the Lord.

If a man thinks he is not behaving properly toward his virgin, and if his passion is so strong that he feels he ought to marry her, let him do what he wants; he isn't sinning. Let them get married.

Now I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the fact that all of our ancestors who left Egypt were under the cloud. They all went through the sea,

Hardly! What they offer, they offer to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to become partners with demons.

Now I want you to realize that the Messiah is the head of every man, and man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of the Messiah.

But if anyone wants to argue about this, we do not have any custom like this, nor do any of God's churches.

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I don't want you to be ignorant.

For this reason I want you to be aware that no one who is speaking by God's Spirit can say, "Jesus is cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.

But one and the same Spirit produces all these results and gives what he wants to each person.

If they want to learn anything, they should ask their own husbands at home, for it is inappropriate for a woman to speak out in church.

But God gives the plant the form he wants it to have, and to each kind of seed its own form.

I do not want to visit with you now just in passing, because I hope to spend a longer time with you if the Lord permits.

For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about the suffering we experienced in Asia. We were so crushed beyond our ability to endure that we even despaired of living.

But if anyone has caused grief, he didn't cause me any grief. To some extent I don't want to emphasize this too much it has affected all of you.

So while we are still in this tent, we sigh under our burdens, because we do not want to put it off but to put it on, so that our dying bodies may be swallowed up by life.

We want you to know, brothers, about God's grace that was given to the churches of Macedonia.

Indeed, the more your faith, speech, knowledge, enthusiasm, and love for us increase, the more we want you to be rich in this work of kindness.

I do not want you to think that I am trying to frighten you with my letters.

But I will go on doing what I'm doing in order to deny an opportunity to those people who want an opportunity to be recognized as our equals in the work they are boasting about.

However, if I did want to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be telling the truth. But I am not going to do it in order to keep anyone from thinking more of me than what he sees and hears about me.

Now I'm ready to visit you for a third time, and I will not bother you for help. I do not want your things, but rather you yourselves. Children should not have to support their parents, but parents their children.

I am afraid that I may come and somehow find you not as I want to find you, and that you may find me not as you want to find me. Perhaps there will be quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorderly conduct.

since you want proof that the Messiah is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you but is making his power felt among you.

For this reason I am writing this while I am away from you: When I come I do not want to be severe in using the authority the Lord gave me to build you up and not to tear you down.

not that another one really exists. To be sure, there are certain people who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel about the Messiah.

For I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel that was proclaimed by me is not of human origin.

I want to learn only one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the actions of the Law or by believing what you heard?

But now that you know God, or rather have been known by God, how can you turn back again to those powerless and bankrupt basic principles? Why do you want to become their slaves all over again?

I am afraid for you! I don't want my work for you to have been wasted!

These people who have been instructing you are devoted to you, but not in a good way. They want you to avoid me so that you will be devoted to them.

Tell me, those of you who want to live under the Law: Are you really listening to what the Law says?

For what the flesh wants is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit wants is opposed to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, and so you do not do what you want to do.

These people who want to impress others by their external appearance are trying to force you to be circumcised, simply to avoid being persecuted for the cross of the Messiah.
