because out of you will come a leader
who will shepherd My people Israel.”

But John tried to stop Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and yet You come to me?”

But He answered, “It is written:

Man must not live on bread alone
but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God.”

From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near!”

“Don’t assume that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

on earth as it is in heaven.

“Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravaging wolves.

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

“Lord,” the centurion replied, “I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But only say the word, and my servant will be cured.

For I too am a man under authority, having soldiers under my command. I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”

I tell you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

When He had come to the other side, to the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met Him as they came out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.

Suddenly they shouted, “What do You have to do with us, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”

“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.

Go and learn what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice. For I didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests be sad while the groom is with them? The time will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

For John did not come eating or drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’

“When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it roams through waterless places looking for rest but doesn’t find any.

When anyone hears the word about the kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the one sown along the path.

Yet he has no root in himself, but is short-lived. When pressure or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

The landowner’s slaves came to him and said, ‘Master, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Then where did the weeds come from?’

It’s the smallest of all the seeds, but when grown, it’s taller than the vegetables and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the sky come and nest in its branches.”

He went to His hometown and began to teach them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “How did this wisdom and these miracles come to Him?

He answered them: “When evening comes you say, ‘It will be good weather because the sky is red.’

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

For the Son of Man is going to come with His angels in the glory of His Father, and then He will reward each according to what he has done.

So the disciples questioned Him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

“But I tell you: Elijah has already come, and they didn’t recognize him. On the contrary, they did whatever they pleased to him. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.”

[However, this kind does not come out except by prayer and fasting.]”

“But, so we won’t offend them, go to the sea, cast in a fishhook, and take the first fish that you catch. When you open its mouth you’ll find a coin. Take it and give it to them for Me and you.”

Woe to the world because of offenses. For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes.

[For the Son of Man has come to save the lost.]

“If you want to be perfect,” Jesus said to him, “go, sell your belongings and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”

He sent out his slaves to summon those invited to the banquet, but they didn’t want to come.

Again, he sent out other slaves, and said, ‘Tell those who are invited: Look, I’ve prepared my dinner; my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

I assure you: All these things will come on this generation!

For I tell you, you will never see Me again until you say, ‘He who comes in the name of the Lord is the blessed One’!”

For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and they will deceive many.

This good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world as a testimony to all nations. And then the end will come.

A man on the housetop must not come down to get things out of his house.

“Friend,” Jesus asked him, “why have you come?”

Then they came up, took hold of Jesus, and arrested Him.

At that time Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as if I were a criminal, to capture Me? Every day I used to sit, teaching in the temple complex, and you didn’t arrest Me.

and saying, “The One who would demolish the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

“He saved others, but He cannot save Himself! He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

But the rest said, “Let’s see if Elijah comes to save Him!”

Therefore give orders that the tomb be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, His disciples may come, steal Him, and tell the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead.’ Then the last deception will be worse than the first.”

“What do You have to do with us, Jesus—Nazarene? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

But Jesus rebuked him and said, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”

And He said to them, “Let’s go on to the neighboring villages so that I may preach there too. This is why I have come.”

Yet he went out and began to proclaim it widely and to spread the news, with the result that Jesus could no longer enter a town openly. But He was out in deserted places, and they would come to Him from everywhere.

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.”

But the time will come when the groom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.

The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul in Him!” and, “He drives out demons by the ruler of the demons!”

He answered them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those outside, everything comes in parables

These are the ones along the path where the word is sown: when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word sown in them.

And when sown, it comes up and grows taller than all the vegetables, and produces large branches, so that the birds of the sky can nest in its shade.”

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!”

and kept begging Him, “My little daughter is at death’s door. Come and lay Your hands on her so she can get well and live.”

He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a remote place and rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

The Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Him.

When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they have washed. And there are many other customs they have received and keep, like the washing of cups, jugs, copper utensils, and dining couches.)

Nothing that goes into a person from outside can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.
