'Desire' in the Bible

But go and learn what this means, 'It is mercy that I desire, not sacrifice'; for I did not come to appeal to the righteous, but to sinners."

And if you knew what this means, 'It is mercy I desire, not sacrifice', you would not have condemned those who are without guilt.

So some one told Him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, and desire to speak to you."

"O woman," replied Jesus, "great is your faith: be it done to you as you desire." And from that moment her daughter was restored to health.

"Why do you ask me," He replied, "about what is good? There is only One who is truly good. But if you desire to enter into Life, keep the Commandments."

"If you desire to be perfect," replied Jesus, "go and sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; and come, follow me."

"What is it you desire?" He asked. "Command," she replied, "that these my two sons may sit one at your right hand and one at your left in your Kingdom."
