Summoning the crowd again, He told them, “Listen to Me, all of you, and understand:

It is because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and [eventually] passes out into the toilet." By saying this He made all foods [ceremonially] acceptable.

Then He told her, “Because of this reply, you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”

Then he looked up to heaven, sighed, and told him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened!"

In those days, when there was again a large crowd [gathered before Him] and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples and told them,

Jesus told the crowd to sit down upon the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve out; and they served them out to the crowd.

They had also a few small fish. He blessed them, and He told His disciples to distribute these also.

Then he told them, "I tell all of you with certainty, some people standing here will not experience death until they see the kingdom of God arrive with power."

When I broke the five loaves for the 5,000, how many baskets full of pieces of bread did you collect?”

“Twelve,” they told Him.

"When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told him, "Seven."

And they told him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets.

And now for the first time He told them, "The Son of Man must endure much suffering, and be rejected by the Elders and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death, and after two days rise to life."

This He told them plainly; whereupon Peter took Him and began to remonstrate with Him.

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,

Then Peter told Jesus, "Rabbi, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

So, they kept what He told them to themselves, discussing [only] among themselves what "rising again from the dead" meant.

And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.

And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth and becomes paralyzed. And I told your disciples that they should expel it, and they were not able [to do so].

Jesus told them, "You unbelieving generation! How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to me!"

Jesus told him, ""If you are able?' Everything is possible for the person who believes!"

And He told them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer [and fasting].”

for He was instructing his disciples, and told them, the Son of man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and on the third day, after his being put to death, He will rise again.

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."

Then he took a little child and had him stand among them. He took him in his arms and told them,

John told Jesus, "Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We tried to stop him, because he wasn't a follower like us."

But Jesus told them, “He wrote this command for you because of the hardness of your hearts.

So he told them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.

When Jesus saw this, he became furious and told them, "Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom of God belongs to people like these.

Jesus looked at him and loved him. Then he told him, "You're missing one thing. Go and sell everything you own, give the money to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me."

Then Jesus looked around and told his disciples, "How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!"

The disciples were startled by these words, but Jesus told them again, "Children, how hard it is for those who trust in their wealth to get into the kingdom of God!

And they were on the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them; and they were amazed, and afraid, as they followed him. And again taking the twelve aside, he told them the things that were about to befall him;

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."

But Jesus told them, "You don't realize what you're asking. Can you drink from the cup that I'm going to drink from or be baptized with the baptism with which I'm going to be baptized?"

And they replied to Him, “We are able.” Jesus told them, “The cup that I drink you will drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized.

Jesus told them, "You will drink from the cup that I'm going to drink and be baptized with the baptism with which I'm going to be baptized. But it's not up to me to grant you a seat at my right or my left. Those positions have already been prepared for others."

Jesus called his disciples and told them, "You know that those who are recognized as rulers among the unbelievers lord it over them, and their superiors act like tyrants over them.

Many people told him to keep quiet, but he was crying out all the more, “Have mercy on me, Son of David!”

Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." Then they called the blind man and told him, "Courage! Get up, he is calling you."

So they called the blind man and told him, "Have courage! Get up. He's calling you." He threw off his coat, jumped up, and went to Jesus.

Then Jesus answered him, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

“Rabbouni,” the blind man told Him, “I want to see!”

“Go your way,” Jesus told him. “Your faith has healed you.” Immediately he could see and began to follow Him on the road.

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 told them, just as Jesus had said, and they allowed them [to take it].

Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" and his disciples heard it.

Then they came to Jerusalem. And He entered the temple [grounds] and began driving out [with force] the people who were selling and buying [animals for sacrifice] in the temple area, and overturned the tables of the moneychangers [who made a profit exchanging foreign money for temple coinage] and the seats of those who were selling doves;

Jesus told his disciples, "Have faith in God!

Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question, and you answer Me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

So they answered Jesus, "We don't know." Then Jesus told them, "Then I won't tell you by what authority I'm doing these things."

But those farmers told one another, "This is the heir. Come on, let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!'

And they were seeking to arrest him, and they were afraid of the crowd, because they knew that he had told the parable with reference to them. And they left him [and] went away.

They came and told him, "Teacher, we know that you are sincere. You don't favor any individual, because you pay no attention to external appearance. Rather, you teach the way of God truthfully. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or shouldn't we?"

So they brought one. Then he asked them, "Whose face and name are on this?" They told him, "Caesar's."

Then Jesus told them, “Give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they were amazed at Him.

Jesus told them, “Are you not deceived because you don’t know the Scriptures or the power of God?

Then the scribe told him, "Well said, Teacher! You have told the truth that "God is one, and there is no other besides him.'

When Jesus saw how wisely the man answered, he told him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." After that, no one dared to ask him another question.

David himself said by the Holy Spirit, "The Lord told my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet."'

David himself calls Him (the Son, the Messiah) ‘Lord’; so how can it be that He is David’s Son?” The large crowd enjoyed hearing Jesus and listened to Him with delight.

In the course of his teaching, Jesus said: "See that you are on your guard against the Teachers of the Law, who delight to walk about in long robes, and to be greeted in the streets with respect,

He called his disciples and told them, "I tell all of you with certainty, this destitute widow has dropped in more than everyone who is contributing to the offering box,

As Jesus was leaving the Temple, one of his disciples told him, "Look, Teacher, what large stones and what beautiful buildings!"

And when they lead you into court, and hand you over [to be judged], do not worry ahead of time about what you will say, but [just] say whatever you are told [i.e., by God] when the time comes.

But take ye heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, wherever the good news [regarding salvation] is proclaimed throughout the world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.”

So He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him.

The disciples left and went to the city and found everything just as He had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

He told them, "It's one of you Twelve, the one who is dipping his bread into the bowl with me.

He told them, "This is my blood of the covenant that is being poured out for many people.

Then Jesus told them, "All of you will turn against me, because it is written, "I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'

Peter told Him, “Even if everyone runs away, I will certainly not!”

Jesus told him, "I tell you with certainty, today, this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you'll deny me three times."

Then they came to a place named Gethsemane, and He told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

So he told them, "I'm deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Wait here and stay awake."

The servant girl saw him and again told those who were standing around, "This man is one of them!"

Just then a rooster crowed a second time. Peter remembered that Jesus told him, "Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." Then he broke down and cried.

As soon as it was daylight, the Chief Priests, after holding a consultation with the Councillors and Teachers of the Law--that is to say, the whole High Council--put Jesus in chains, and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate.

“Don’t be alarmed,” he told them. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has been resurrected! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.

But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there, just as He told you.’”

And they fled out of the tomb, for they were all trembling and bewildered, and they said nothing about it to anyone, for they were afraid to do so. AN ANCIENT APPENDIX But they reported briefly to Peter and his companions all they had been told. And afterward Jesus himself sent out by them from the east to the west the sacred and incorruptible message of eternal salvation. \b ANOTHER ANCIENT APPENDIX

Then the angel told her:

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

Their friends told her, "None of your relatives has that name."

and remembered His holy covenant—

When the angels had left them and gone back to heaven, the shepherds told one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see what has taken place that the Lord has told us about."
