To Be Determined

Uncategorized Scripture

:

How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.


:

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.


:

By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?


:

Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.


:

A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.


:

Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.


:

Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.


:

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.


:

Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’


:

Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’


:

“Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.


:

The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock.


:

Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand.


:

The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell–and great was its fall.”


:

It happened, when Jesus had finished saying these things, that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,


:

for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.


:

When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.


:

Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”


:

Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.


:

Jesus said to him, “See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”


:

When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him,


:

and saying, “Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.”


:

Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”


:

The centurion answered, “Lord, I’m not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.


:

For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and tell another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and tell my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”


:

When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, “Most certainly I tell you, I haven’t found so great a faith, not even in Israel.


:

I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven,


:

but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”


:

Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed.” His servant was healed in that hour.


:

When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.


:

He touched her hand, and the fever left her. She got up and served him.


:

When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick;


:

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.”


:

Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.


:

A scribe came, and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”


:

Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”


:

Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”


:

But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”


:

When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.


:

Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves, but he was asleep.


:

They came to him, and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”


:

He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.


:

The men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”


:

When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.


:

Behold, they cried out, saying, “What do we have to do with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”


:

Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.


:

The demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs.”


:

He said to them, “Go!” They came out, and went into the herd of pigs: and behold, the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the water.


:

Those who fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons.


:

Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.


:

He entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city.


:

Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”


:

Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”


:

Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?


:

For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk?’


:

But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins…” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go up to your house.”


:

He arose and departed to his house.


:

But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.


:

As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.


:

It happened as he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.


:

When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”


:

When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.


:

But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”


:

Then John’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”


:

Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.


:

No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.


:

Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”


:

While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”


:

Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.


:

Behold, a woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;


:

for she said within herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.”


:

But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.


:

When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd in noisy disorder,


:

he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.


:

But when the crowd was put out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.


:

The report of this went out into all that land.


:

As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”


:

When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told him, “Yes, Lord.”


:

Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”


:

Their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”


:

But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.


:

As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.


:

When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”


:

But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”


:

Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.


:

But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.


:

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.


:

Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.”


:

He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.


:

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee; John, his brother;


:

Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus; Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;


:

Simon the Canaanite; and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.


:

Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, “Don’t go among the Gentiles, and don’t enter into any city of the Samaritans.


:

Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.


:

As you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’


:

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.


:

Don’t take any gold, nor silver, nor brass in your money belts.


:

Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.


:

Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy; and stay there until you go on.


:

As you enter into the household, greet it.
