'Things' in the Bible

Do not, however, imitate them; for your Father knows what things you need before ever you ask Him.

For all these are questions that Gentiles are always asking; but your Heavenly Father knows that you need these things--all of them.

But make His Kingdom and righteousness your chief aim, and then these things shall all be given you in addition.

If you then, imperfect as you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

About that time Jesus exclaimed, "I heartily praise Thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and of earth, that Thou hast hidden these things from sages and men of discernment, and hast unveiled them to babes.

"All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one fully knows the Son except the Father, nor does any one fully know the Father except the Son and all to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.

A good man from his good store produces good things, and a bad man from his bad store produces bad things.

He then spoke many things to them in figurative language. "The sower goes out," He said, "to sow.

in fulfilment of the saying of the Prophet, "I will open my mouth in figurative language, I will utter things kept hidden since the creation of all things."

"Therefore," He said, "remember that every Scribe well trained for the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a householder who brings out of his storehouse new things and old."

But the things that come out of the mouth proceed from the heart, and it is these that defile the man.

These are the things which defile the man; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile."

But when the High Priests and the Scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done and the children who were crying aloud in the Temple, "God save the Son of David," they were filled with indignation.

He entered the Temple; and while He was teaching, the High Priests and the Elders of the people came to Him and asked Him, "By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you this authority?"

"And I also have a question to ask *you*," replied Jesus, "and if you answer me, I in turn will tell you by what authority I do these things.

So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." "Nor do I tell you," He replied, "by what authority I do these things."

"Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you pay the tithe on mint, dill, and cumin, while you have neglected the weightier requirements of the Law--just judgement, mercy, and faithful dealing. These things you ought to have done, and yet you ought not to have left the others undone.

I tell you in solemn truth that all these things will come upon the present generation.

And before long you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. Do not be alarmed, for such things must be; but the End is not yet.

I tell you in solemn truth that the present generation will certainly not pass away without all these things having first taken place.
