But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight I will take your soul from you, and who then will be the owner of all the things which you have got together?

And he said to his disciples, For this reason I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about what food you will take, or for your body, how it may be clothed.

For if anyone has a cause at law against you, and you are going with him before the ruler, make an attempt, on the way, to come to an agreement with him, for if you do not, he may take you before the judge and the judge will give you up to the police, and they will put you in prison.

But the Lord gave him an answer and said, O you false men! do you not, every one of you, on the Sabbath, let loose his ox and his ass and take it to the water?

When you get a request to come to a feast, do not take the best seat, for a more important man than you may be coming,

And then the giver of the feast will come to you and say, Give your place to this man; and you, with shame, will have to take the lowest seat.

But when you come, go and take the lowest seat, so that when the giver of the feast comes, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; and then you will have honour in the eyes of all the others who are there.

For every man who gives himself a high place will be put down, but he who takes a low place will be lifted up.

And he said, You take care to seem right in the eyes of men, but God sees your hearts: and those things which are important in the opinion of men, are evil in the eyes of God.

Everyone who puts away his wife and takes another, is a false husband: and he who is married to a woman whose husband has put her away, is no true husband to her.

The Pharisee, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.

You have knowledge of what the law says: Do not be untrue to your wife, Do not put anyone to death, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Give honour to your father and mother.

Who take the property of widows and before the eyes of men make long prayers; they will get a greater punishment.

The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit.

Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.

He who so takes his witness has made clear his faith that God is true.

Jesus said to her, Everyone who takes this water will be in need of it again:

But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life.

While this was taking place, the disciples were saying to Jesus, Master, take some food.

You would say, Four months from now is the time of the grain-cutting. Take a look, I say to you, at the fields; they are even now white for cutting.

Jesus said to him, Get up, take your bed and go.

So the Jews said to the man who had been made well, It is the Sabbath; and it is against the law for you to take up your bed.

He said to them, But he who made me well, said to me, Take up your bed and go.

Then they put to him the question: Who is the man who said to you, Take it up and go?

I do not take honour from men;

How is it possible for you to have faith while you take honour one from another and have no desire for the honour which comes from the only God?

The bread which comes from heaven is such bread that a man may take it for food and never see death.

I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.

Then Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, If you do not take the flesh of the Son of man for food, and if you do not take his blood for drink, you have no life in you.

He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day.

He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink is in me and I in him.

As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.

This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

Then, hearing this, a number of his disciples said, This is a hard saying; who is able to take in such teaching?
