For this nation's mind has grown dull, And they hear faintly with their ears, And they have shut their eyes, So as never to see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their minds, and turn back, And let me cure them!'

When anyone hears the teaching of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and robs him of the seed that has been sown in his mind. That is what was sown along the path.

When they were near Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage and the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples on ahead,

Then the man went to the second son, and told him the same thing. And he answered, 'I will not!' But afterward he changed his mind and went.

And he said to him, " 'You must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole mind.'

"Alas for you, you hypocritical scribes and Pharisees, for you pay tithes on mint, dill, and cummin, and you have let the weightier matters of the Law go??ustice, mercy, and integrity. But you should have observed these, without overlooking the others.

As he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came up to him by themselves, and said to him, "Tell us when this is to happen, and what will be the sign of your coming, and of the close of the age."

After singing the hymn, they went out of the city and up the Mount of Olives.

And he took Peter and Zebedee's two sons with him, and he began to show grief and distress of mind.

His relatives heard of it and came over to stop him, for they said that he was out of his mind.

When they came to Jesus and found the demoniac sitting quietly with his clothes on and in his right mind??he same man who had been possessed by Legion??hey were frightened.

When he had left the crowd and gone home, his disciples asked him what he meant by this figure.

And they did not forget what he said, but discussed with one another what he meant by the rising from the dead.

But they did not understand what he meant, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

When they were getting near Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage and Bethany near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples on ahead,

I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Get up and throw yourself into the sea!' and has no doubt in his mind, but has faith that what he says will happen, shall have it.

and you must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, your whole soul, your whole mind, and your whole strength.'

As he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the Temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him, apart from the others,

After singing the hymn they went out of the city and up the Mount of Olives.

But she was startled at what he said, and wondered what this greeting meant.

and everyone who heard them kept them in mind, and said, "What is this child going to be?" For the Lord's hand was with him.

And he went back with them to Nazareth and obeyed them. And his mother treasured all these things up in her mind.

His disciples asked him what this figure meant.

And the people came out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man out of whom the demons had gone sitting there, at Jesus' feet, with his clothes on and in his right mind, and they were frightened.

But they did not understand what he meant, indeed it was concealed from them, in order that they might not comprehend it, and they were afraid to ask him what he meant.

He answered, " 'You must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, your whole soul, your whole strength, and your whole mind,' and 'your neighbor as you do yourself.' "

But alas for you Pharisees! For you pay tithes on mint, rue, and every tiny herb, and disregard justice and the love of God. But you should have observed these, without neglecting the others.

and he called one of the servants to him and asked him what it meant.

And they did not understand any of this; the words were obscure to them, and they did not know what he meant.

And hearing a crowd going by he asked what it meant.

When he was near Bethphage and Bethany by the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples

Just as he was coming down the Mount of Olives and approaching the city, the whole throng of his disciples began to praise God loudly and joyfully, for all the wonders they had seen,

He would spend the days teaching in the Temple, but at night he would go out of the city and stay on the hill called the Mount of Olives.

And he went out of the city and up on the Mount of Olives as he was accustomed to do, with his disciples following him.

Now he said this to test him, for he knew what he meant to do.

So Jesus, seeing that they meant to come and carry him off to make him king, retired again to the hill by himself.

He meant Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, though he was one of the Twelve, was going to betray him.

He meant by this the Spirit which those who believed in him were to receive??or the Spirit had not yet come, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

This was the figure Jesus used in speaking to them, but they did not understand what he meant by it.

Now Jesus had referred to his death. But they supposed that he meant a natural falling asleep.

So at supper??he devil having by this time put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son??3 Jesus, fully aware that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God,

The disciples looked at one another in doubt as to which of them he meant.

But no one else at the table knew what he meant by telling him this,

for some of them thought that as Judas had the purse Jesus meant to say to him, "Buy what we need for the festival," or to have him give something to the poor.

They were all devoting themselves with one mind to prayer, with the women and Mary, Jesus' mother, and his brothers.

When forty years had passed, an angel appeared to him in the desert of Mount Sinai, in the flame of a burning bush.

It was he who with the congregation in the desert went between the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai and our forefathers, and received and communicated to you utterances that still live.

and said, 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your charities have been recalled to mind by God.

where he stayed for three months. Just as he was going to sail for Syria, the Jews made a plot against him, and he made up his mind to return by way of Macedonia.

For this nation's mind has grown dull, And they hear faintly with their ears, And they have shut their eyes, So as never to see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their minds, and turn back, And let me cure them!" '

So as one offense meant condemnation for all men, just so one righteous act means acquittal and life for all men.

and the command that should have meant life in my case proved to mean death.

No! This is what it says: "God's message is close to you, on your lips and in your mind"??hat is, the message about faith that we preach.

For if with your lips you acknowledge the message that Jesus is Lord, and with your mind you believe that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

For if their rejection has meant the reconciling of the world, what can the acceptance of them mean but life from the dead?

for God does not change his mind about those to whom he gives his blessings or sends his call.

You must not adopt the customs of this world but by your new attitude of mind be transformed so that you can find out what God's will is??hat is good, pleasing, and perfect.

One man thinks one day better than another, while another thinks them all alike. Everybody must be fully convinced in his own mind.

But I urge you all, brothers, for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree in what you say, and not to allow factions among you, but to be perfectly united in mind and judgment.

But, as the Scripture says, there are things "Which no eye ever saw and no ear ever heard, And never occurred to the human mind, Which God has provided for those who love him."

This is why I have sent Timothy to you. He is a dear child of mine, in the service of the Lord, and one on whom you can depend, and he will help you to keep in mind my methods in the service of Christ Jesus, which I follow everywhere in every church.

What I meant was that you are not to associate with anyone who is supposed to be a Christian brother, and yet is immoral or greedy or idolatrous or abusive or drunken or grasping??ith such a person you must not even eat.

It is true, food is meant for the stomach, and the stomach for the food, but God will put an end to both of them. But the body is not meant for immorality, but for the service of the Lord, and the Lord is for the body to serve.

If you were a slave when you were called, never mind. Even if you can gain your freedom, make the most of your present condition instead.

But a man who has definitely made up his mind, under no constraint of passion but with full self-control, and who has decided in his own mind to keep her as she is, will be doing what is right.

For if I pray ecstatically, it is my spirit that prays, but my mind is helping nobody.

So this ecstatic speaking is meant as a sign not to those who believe but to unbelievers, but inspired preaching is a sign not to unbelievers but to those who believe.

For I made up my mind not to make you another painful visit.

For I was in great trouble and distress of mind when I wrote you, and I shed many tears as I did it, yet it was not to hurt your feelings, but to make you realize the extraordinary affection I have for you.

but my mind could not rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.

For if I was out of my senses, as they say, it was between God and me; and if I am in my right mind, it is for your good.

I am glad of it now; not because you had your feelings hurt, but because having them hurt led you to repent, for you took it as God meant you to do, so that you should not lose anything at all through me.

That is why I am so comforted. With all my own comfort, I was still more overjoyed at the gladness of Titus, for his mind has been set at rest by you all.

Everyone must give what he has made up his mind to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion; God loves a man who is glad to give.

This is an allegorical utterance. For the women are two agreements, one coming from Mount Sinai, bearing children that are to be slaves; that is, Hagar

(and Hagar means Mount Sinai, in Arabia), and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for Jerusalem is in slavery with her children.

enlightening the eyes of your mind so that you may know what the hope is to which he calls you, and how gloriously rich his inheritance is among God's people,

until we all attain unity in faith, and in the knowledge of the Son of God, and reach mature manhood, and that full measure of development found in Christ.

So what I mean and insist upon in the Lord's name is this: You must no longer live like the heathen, with their frivolity of mind and darkened understanding.

You must adopt a new attitude of mind,

Now, my brothers, goodbye, and the Lord be with you. I do not mind writing the same thing over and over to you; it is necessary for your safety.

No one can put you in the wrong by persisting in studied humility and the worship of angels, being absorbed in the visions he has seen, and groundlessly conceited over his mere human mind.

"You must not handle," "You must not taste," "You must not touch"??22 referring to things that are all meant to be used up and destroyed? This is to follow mere human rules and regulations.

So when I could not bear it any longer, I made up my mind to stay behind alone at Athens,

in striving to live quietly and mind your own affairs, and work with your hands, as we directed you,

For the message of God is a living and active force, sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing through soul and spirit, and joints and marrow, and keen in judging the thoughts and purposes of the mind.

But you have come up to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to countless angels,

I will also take care that after I am gone you will be able at any time to call these things to mind.

Because you have kept in mind the message of what I endured, I also will keep you safe in the time of testing that is going to come upon the whole world, to test the inhabitants of the earth.

Then in my vision I saw the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 people who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.

Here is a problem for a profound mind! The seven heads are seven hills, on which the woman is seated.
