Finally Daniel, named Belteshazzar after the name of my god—and the spirit of the holy gods is in him—came before me. I told him the dream:

“Suddenly, another beast appeared, a second one, that looked like a bear. It was raised up on one side, with three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, ‘Get up! Gorge yourself on flesh.’

The vision of the evenings and the mornings
that has been told is true.
Now you must seal up the vision
because it refers to many days in the future.”

Yet the number of the Israelites
will be like the sand of the sea,
which cannot be measured or counted.
And in the place where they were told:
You are not My people,
they will be called: Sons of the living God.

Then the men were even more afraid and said to him, “What is this you’ve done?” The men knew he was fleeing from the Lord’s presence, because he had told them.

Mankind, He has told you what is good
and what it is the Lord requires of you:
to act justly,
to love faithfulness,
and to walk humbly with your God.

Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and told me, “Look up and see what this is that is approaching.”

“To build a shrine for it in the land of Shinar,” he told me. “When that is ready, the basket will be placed there on its pedestal.”

The angel told me, “These are the four spirits of heaven going out after presenting themselves to the Lord of the whole earth.

“In Bethlehem of Judea,” they told him, “because this is what was written by the prophet:

Jesus told him, “It is also written: Do not test the Lord your God.”

Then Jesus told him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written:

Worship the Lord your God,
and serve only Him.”

“Follow Me,” He told them, “and I will make you fish for people!”

Then Jesus told him, “See that you don’t tell anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses prescribed, as a testimony to them.”

“I will come and heal him,” He told him.

Then Jesus told the centurion, “Go. As you have believed, let it be done for you.” And his servant was cured that very moment.

Jesus told him, “Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

“Go!” He told them. So when they had come out, they entered the pigs. And suddenly the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the water.

Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Have courage, son, your sins are forgiven.”

But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—then He told the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

the blind see, the lame walk, those with skin diseases are healed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news.

Then He told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored, as good as the other.

Knowing their thoughts, He told them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.

Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

But He replied to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?”

Then He told them many things in parables, saying: “Consider the sower who went out to sow.

“‘An enemy did this!’ he told them.

“‘So, do you want us to go and gather them up?’ the slaves asked him.

He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into 50 pounds of flour until it spread through all of it.”

Jesus told the crowds all these things in parables, and He would not speak anything to them without a parable,

“Have you understood all these things?”

“Yes,” they told Him.

“This is John the Baptist!” he told his servants. “He has been raised from the dead, and that’s why supernatural powers are at work in him.”

“They don’t need to go away,” Jesus told them. “You give them something to eat.”

Summoning the crowd, He told them, “Listen and understand:

Then the disciples came up and told Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard this statement?”

Then Jesus told them, “Watch out and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Why is it you don’t understand that when I told you, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees,’ it wasn’t about bread?”

But He turned and told Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns, but man’s.”

“Because of your little faith,” He told them. “For I assure you: If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

As they were meeting in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.

“From strangers,” he said.

“Then the sons are free,” Jesus told him.

He told them, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of the hardness of your hearts. But it was not like that from the beginning.

But He told them, “Not everyone can accept this saying, but only those it has been given to.

“I have kept all these,” the young man told Him. “What do I still lack?”

“‘Because no one hired us,’ they said to him.

“‘You also go to my vineyard,’ he told them.

When evening came, the owner of the vineyard told his foreman, ‘Call the workers and give them their pay, starting with the last and ending with the first.’

He told them, “You will indeed drink My cup. But to sit at My right and left is not Mine to give; instead, it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.”

The crowd told them to keep quiet, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”

and said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?”

“Yes,” Jesus told them. “Have you never read:

You have prepared praise
from the mouths of children and nursing infants?”

“He will completely destroy those terrible men,” they told Him, “and lease his vineyard to other farmers who will give him his produce at the harvest.”

“Then he told his slaves, ‘The banquet is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

“Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him up hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

“What do you think about the Messiah? Whose Son is He?”

“David’s,” they told Him.

Take note: I have told you in advance.

When Jesus had finished saying all this, He told His disciples,

I assure you: Wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”

Then Judas, His betrayer, replied, “Surely not I, Rabbi?”

“You have said it,” He told him.

Peter told Him, “Even if everyone runs away because of You, I will never run away!”

“Even if I have to die with You,” Peter told Him, “I will never deny You!” And all the disciples said the same thing.

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He told the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

Then Jesus told him, “Put your sword back in its place because all who take up a sword will perish by a sword.

“You have said it,” Jesus told him. “But I tell you, in the future you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

When he had gone out to the gateway, another woman saw him and told those who were there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene!”

“You have a guard of soldiers,” Pilate told them. “Go and make it as secure as you know how.”

But the angel told the women, “Don’t be afraid, because I know you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.

Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead. In fact, He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there.’ Listen, I have told you.”

Then Jesus told them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see Me there.”

and told them, “Say this, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole Him while we were sleeping.’

“Follow Me,” Jesus told them, “and I will make you fish for people!”

Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed with a fever, and they told Him about her at once.

Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched him. “I am willing,” He told him. “Be made clean.”

Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” He told the paralytic,

When Jesus heard this, He told them, “Those who are well don’t need a doctor, but the sick do need one. I didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Then He told them, “The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath.

He told the man with the paralyzed hand, “Stand before us.”

After looking around at them with anger and sorrow at the hardness of their hearts, He told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

Then He told His disciples to have a small boat ready for Him, so the crowd would not crush Him.

A crowd was sitting around Him and told Him, “Look, Your mother, Your brothers, and Your sisters are outside asking for You.”

On that day, when evening had come, He told them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the sea.”

For He had told him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”

The eyewitnesses described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and told about the pigs.

But He would not let him; instead, He told him, “Go back home to your own people, and report to them how much the Lord has done for you and how He has had mercy on you.”

Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came with fear and trembling, fell down before Him, and told Him the whole truth.

But when Jesus overheard what was said, He told the synagogue leader, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe.”

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

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

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.

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

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

“We are able,” they told Him.

Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with.

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

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.

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?

And you must watch! I have told you everything in advance.

I assure you: Wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also 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.
