Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way: when his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit.

And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child, and when you have found him, bring back word to me, so that I too may come and worship him."

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

For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and few are those who find it.

When Jesus heard him, he marveled, and said to those who followed him, "Truly, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.

He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and then in his joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

who, when he had found one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

Now Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have been with me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way."

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

Nevertheless, so that we may not offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you open its mouth, you will find a piece of money; take that and give it to them for me and you."

But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe.'

And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day?'

saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.

And seeing a fig tree by the road he went to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only. And he said to it, "May no fruit ever come from you again!" And immediately the fig tree withered.

Go therefore to the highways, and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find.'

And those servants went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good; so the wedding hall was filled with guests.

Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes will find so doing.

Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, "So, could you not watch with me one hour?

And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward

Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to carry his cross.

and when they found him, they said to him, "Everyone is looking for you."

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."

She went home, and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.

And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come a long distance."

and said to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it.

They went away and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied it.

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.

lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping.

So the disciples set out and went to the city, and found it just as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

Then he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?

And when he came again, he found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer him.

Now the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus to put him to death, but they found none.

And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

And this will be a sign to you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger."

And they went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

And when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.

After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.

And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written:

When they could not find a way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus.

The scribes and the Pharisees watched him closely, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against him.

When Jesus heard this, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the crowd that followed him, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel."

And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.

Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. But they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.

He told this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.

So he said to the keeper of his vineyard, 'Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why should it use up the ground?'

And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.'

And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.'

for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' And they began to be merry.

It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.'"

Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?"

I tell you that he will bring about justice for them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

saying, "Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them.

but they could not find anything they could do, for all the people hung upon his words.

So they went, and found it just as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

When he rose from prayer, and came to his disciples, he found them sleeping from sorrow.

And they began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king."

Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, "I find no crime in this man."

and said to them, "You have brought this man to me as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. And behold, having examined him in your presence, I have found no guilt in this man concerning those charges which you make against him;

Then he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no crime deserving death. I will therefore chastise him and release him."

And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

and when they did not find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said he was alive.

Some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said; but him they did not see."

So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,

He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means the Christ).

The next day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."

Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers at their business.

Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse may happen to you."

When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"

You will seek me, and you will not find me; where I am you cannot come."

The Jews said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we shall not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

What does he mean when he said, 'You will seek me and you will not find me,' and, 'Where I am you cannot come'?"

They replied, "Are you from Galilee, too? Search and look, and you will find that no prophet is to rise out of Galilee."

Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and when he found him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

So when Jesus came, he found that he had already been in the tomb four days.

Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written,

Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again, and told them, "I find no crime in him.

Pilate went out again, and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no crime in him."

When the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "You take him and crucify him, for I find no fault in him."

He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast, and now they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish.

Immediately she fell down at his feet and died. When the young men came in they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

But when the officers came, they did not find them in the prison, and they returned and reported back,

"We found the prison securely locked, and the guards standing at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside."

But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he kept preaching the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years and was paralyzed.
