Much has been planted, but little got in; you take food, but have not enough; you take drink, but are not full; you are clothed, but no one is warm; and he who gets payment for his work, gets it to put it into a bag full of holes.

Go up to the hills and get wood and put up the house; and I will take pleasure in it and be honoured, says the Lord.

You were looking for much, and it came to little; and when you got it into your house, I took it away with a breath. Why? says the Lord of armies. Because of my house which is a waste, while every man takes care of the house which is his.

Then Haggai said, Will any of these be made unclean by the touch of one who is unclean through touching a dead body? And the priests answering said, It will be made unclean.

In that day, says the Lord of armies, I will take you, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, says the Lord, and will make you as a jewelled ring: for I have taken you to be mine, says the Lord of armies.

Be not like your fathers, to whom the voice of the earlier prophets came, saying, Be turned now from your evil ways and from your evil doings: but they did not give ear to me or take note, says the Lord.

And again let your voice be loud and say, This is what the Lord of armies has said: My towns will again be overflowing with good things, and again the Lord will give comfort to Zion and take Jerusalem for himself.

And I said to him, Where are you going? And he said to me, To take the measure of Jerusalem, to see how wide and how long it is.

And he let me see Joshua, the high priest, in his place before the angel of the Lord, and the Satan at his right hand ready to take up a cause against him.

And he made answer and said to those who were there before him, Take the unclean robes off him, and let him be clothed in clean robes;

For see, the stone which I have put before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: see, the design cut on it will be my work, says the Lord of armies, and I will take away the sin of that land in one day.

And lifting up my eyes I saw two women coming out, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they took the ephah, lifting it up between earth and heaven.

Take the offerings of those who went away as prisoners, from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, and from the family of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, who have come from Babylon;

And take silver and gold and make a crown and put it on the head of Zerubbabel;

And he will be the builder of the Temple of the Lord; and the glory will be his, and he will take his place as ruler on the seat of power; and Joshua will be a priest at his right hand, and between them there will be a design of peace.

This is what the Lord of armies has said: In those days, ten men from all the languages of the nations will put out their hands and take a grip of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for it has come to our ears that God is with you.

See, the Lord will take away her heritage, overturning her power in the sea; and she will be burned up with fire.

And I will take away his blood from his mouth, and his disgusting things from between his teeth; and some of his people will be kept for our God: and he will be as a family in Judah, and Ekron as one living in Jerusalem.

For I have made Judah a bow bent for my use, I have made Ephraim the arrows of the bow; I will make your sons, O Zion, take up arms against your sons, O Greece, and will make you like the sword of a man of war.

The Lord of armies will be a cover for them; and they will overcome, crushing under foot the armed men; they will take their blood for drink like wine: they will be full like the sides of the altar.

Though I had them planted among the peoples, they will keep me in mind in far countries: and they will take care of their children and will come back.

And I will make them come back out of the land of Egypt, and will get them together out of Assyria; and I will take them into the land of Gilead, and it will not be wide enough for them.

This is what the Lord my God has said: Take care of the flock of death;

So I took care of the flock of death, for those who made profit out of the flock; and I took for myself two rods, naming one Beautiful, and the other Bands; and I took care of the flock.

And I said, I will not take care of you: If death comes to any, let death be its fate; if any is cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest take one another's flesh for food.

And I took my rod Beautiful, cutting it in two, so that the Lord's agreement, which he had made with all the peoples, might be broken.

And the Lord said to me, Put it into the store-house, the price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty shekels of silver and put them into the store-house in the house of the Lord.

Then I took my other rod, the one named Bands, cutting it in two, so that the relation of brothers between Judah and Israel might be broken.

And the Lord said to me, Take again the instruments of a foolish keeper of sheep.

For see, I will put a sheep-keeper over the land, who will have no care for that which is cut off, and will not go in search of the wanderers, or make well what is broken, and he will not give food to that which is ill, but he will take for his food the flesh of the fat, and let their feet be broken.

And it will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a stone of great weight for all the peoples; all those who take it up will be badly wounded; and all the nations of the earth will come together against it.

And it will come about on that day that I will take in hand the destruction of all the nations who come against Jerusalem.

And it will be on that day that a great fear will be sent among them from the Lord; and everyone will take his neighbour's hand, and every man's hand will be lifted against his neighbour's.

And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the Lord of armies: and all those who make offerings will come and take them for boiling their offerings: in that day there will be no more traders in the house of the Lord of armies.

If only there was one among you who would see that the doors were shut, so that you might not put a light to the fire on my altar for nothing! I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord of armies, and I will not take an offering from your hands.

If you will not give ear and take it to heart, to give glory to my name, says the Lord of armies, then I will send the curse on you and will put a curse on your blessing: truly, even now I have put a curse on it, because you do not take it to heart.

And this again you do: covering the altar of the Lord with weeping and with grief, so that he gives no more thought to the offering, and does not take it with pleasure from your hand.

He will take his seat, testing and cleaning the sons of Levi, burning away the evil from them as from gold and silver; so that they may make offerings to the Lord in righteousness.

And I will come near to you for judging; I will quickly be a witness against the wonder-workers, against those who have been untrue in married life, against those who take false oaths; against those who keep back from the servant his payment, and who are hard on the widow and the child without a father, who do not give his rights to the man from a strange country, and have no fear of me, says the Lord of armies.

Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,

And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;

Now when the birth of Jesus took place in Beth-lehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word; for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death.

So he took the young child and his mother by night, and went into Egypt;

Saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: because they who were attempting to take the young child's life are dead.

And he got up, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

Truly, I give baptism with water to those of you whose hearts are changed; but he who comes after me is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to take up: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit and with fire:

Then the Evil One took him to the holy town; and he put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him,

Again, the Evil One took him up to a very high mountain, and let him see all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;

Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took care of him.

And news of him went out through all Syria; and they took to him all who were ill with different diseases and pains, those having evil spirits and those who were off their heads, and those who had no power of moving. And he made them well.

And if your right eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.

Again, you have knowledge that it was said in old times, Do not take false oaths, but give effect to your oaths to the Lord:

But I say to you, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat of God;

You may not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.

Take care not to do your good works before men, to be seen by them; or you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

And when you make your prayers, be not like the false-hearted men, who take pleasure in getting up and saying their prayers in the Synagogues and at the street turnings so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

Make no store of wealth for yourselves on earth, where it may be turned to dust by worms and weather, and where thieves may come in by force and take it away.

But make a store for yourselves in heaven, where it will not be turned to dust and where thieves do not come in to take it away:

So I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about food or drink, or about clothing for your body. Is not life more than food, and the body more than its clothing?

Then have no care for tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day as it comes.

And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye?

Or how will you say to your brother, Let me take out the grain of dust from your eye, when you yourself have a bit of wood in your eye?

You false one, first take out the bit of wood from your eye, then will you see clearly to take out the grain of dust from your brother's eye.

And I say to you that numbers will come from the east and the west, and will take their seats with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

And he put his hand on hers and the disease went from her, and she got up and took care of his needs.

And in the evening, they took to him a number of people who had evil spirits; and he sent the spirits out of them with a word, and made well all who were ill;

So that the word of Isaiah the prophet might come true: He himself took our pains and our diseases.

But Jesus said to him, Come after me; and let the dead take care of their dead.

And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.

But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill,) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.

And it came about, when he was in the house taking food, that a number of tax-farmers and sinners came and took their places with Jesus and his disciples.

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your Master take food with tax-farmers and sinners?

But go and take to heart the sense of these words, My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.

But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, Daughter, take heart; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.

But when the people were sent out, he went in and took her by the hand; and the girl got up.

Take no gold or silver or copper in your pockets;

Take no bag for your journey and do not take two coats or shoes or a stick: for the workman has a right to his food.

And whoever will not take you in, or give ear to your words, when you go out from that house or that town, put off its dust from your feet.

And he who does not take his cross and come after me is not good enough for me.

And from the days of John the Baptist till now, the kingdom of heaven is forcing its way in, and men of force take it.

We made music for you and you did not take part in the dance; we gave cries of sorrow and you made no signs of grief.

Take my yoke on you and become like me, for I am gentle and without pride, and you will have rest for your souls;

For my yoke is good, and the weight I take up is not hard.

How he went into the house of God and took for food the holy bread which it was not right for him or for those who were with him to take, but only for the priests?

Then they took to him one with an evil spirit, who was blind and had no power of talking: and he made him well so that he had the power of talking and seeing.

Or how may one go into a strong man's house and take his goods, if he does not first put cords round the strong man? and then he may take his goods.

Whoever is not with me is against me; and he who does not take part with me in getting people together, is driving them away.

And great numbers of people came together to him, so that he got into a boat; and the people took up their position by the sea.

And while he did so, some seeds were dropped by the wayside, and the birds came and took them for food:

And he said, Someone has done this in hate. And the servants say to him, Is it your pleasure that we go and take them up?

But he says, No, for fear that by chance while you take up the evil plants, you may be rooting up the grain with them.

Let them come up together till the getting in of the grain; and then I will say to the workers, Take up first the evil plants, and put them together for burning: but put the grain into my store-house.

He put another story before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his field:

Another story he gave to them: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and put in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.

The Son of man will send out his angels, and they will take out of his kingdom everything which is a cause of error, and all those who do wrong,

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, which was put into the sea and took in every sort of fish:

When it was full, they took it up on the sands; and seated there they put the good into vessels, but the bad they put away.

So will it be in the end of the world: the angels will come and take out the bad from the good,

And his head was put on a plate and given to the girl; and she took it to her mother.
