saying, "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East and have come to worship him."

When they had heard the king they went their way; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, until it came to rest over the place where the child was.

the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and on those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned."

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

"Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

so that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

"And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

But when you pray, go into your room, shut the door and pray to your Father, who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.

"And when you fast, do not look gloomy, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

so that you do not appear to be fasting to men, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

For the Gentiles seek after all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you as well.

You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, "See that no one knows it."

And when the demon had been cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds marveled, saying, "Never was anything like this seen in Israel."

And Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John what you hear and see:

As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you."

Then he told them many things in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow his seed.

And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.

Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.

But other seed fell on good soil and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which says: 'Hearing you will hear and shall not understand; and seeing you will see and not perceive.

For this people's heart has grown dull. And their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and they understand with their hearts, and turn so that I should heal them.'

But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear.

For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

when anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.

But he who received the seed on rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, but the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

But the one who received seed on the good soil is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."

Another parable he put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;

And the servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then has it weeds?'

Another parable he put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;

He answered, "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man;

the field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

Do you not yet see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?

Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

So he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you."

"See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

Again, he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding.'"

But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.

But they do all their works to be seen by men; for they make their phylacteries broad and the tassels of their garments long.

For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"

But he answered them, "You see all these things, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down."

And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

"So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination of desolation,' spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand)

See, I have told you beforehand.

Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

So also, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.

Then he who had received the one talent came and said, 'Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

But his master answered him, 'You wicked and lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed?

Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?

When did we see you a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you?

When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

Then they also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?'

Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand."

But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the guards to see the end.

Jesus said to him, "It is as you said. But I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? You see to it!"

When Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood. See to it yourselves."

The rest said, "Let him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save him."

Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.

But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.

Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead. And behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Behold, I have told you."

Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee; and there they will see me."

and he said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

And they watched him closely, to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him.

And as he sowed the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

Other seed fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain.

But other seed fell on good soil and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced thirtyfold, sixty, and a hundred."

so that 'seeing they may see but not perceive, and hearing may hear but not understand; lest they should turn again, and be forgiven.'"

And he said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground,

and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how.

It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is the smallest of all seeds in the earth;

So those who fed the swine fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And people went out to see what it was that had happened.

And those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man, and about the swine.

And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, 'Who touched me?'"

And he looked around to see who had done it.

But he said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see." And when they found out they said, "Five, and two fish."

So he said to them, "Are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him,

And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."

Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember?

So he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. And when he had spit on his eyes and put his hands on him, he asked him "Do you see anything?"

And he looked up and said, "I see men; but they look like trees, walking."

And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power."

And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

Peter began to say to him, "See, we have left everything and followed you."

And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

And Jesus said to him, "Do you see all these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down."

"When you see 'the abomination of desolation' standing where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.

Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

So also, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door.
