1. 1:9

   he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.

2. 1:17

   And he will go on before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

3. 1:28

   The angel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

4. 1:31

   Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus.

5. 1:32

   He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David,

6. 1:35

   The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God.

7. 1:38

   “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it happen to me according to your word.” Then the angel left her.

8. 1:43

   And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

9. 1:45

   Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.”

10. 1:47

    and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!

11. 1:58

    Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they rejoiced with her.

12. 2:7

    And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

13. 2:11

    Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord!

14. 2:21

    When the eight days before His circumcision had passed, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He was conceived.

15. 2:22

    And when the time of purification according to the Law of Moses was complete, His parents brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord

16. 2:23

    (as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord”),

17. 2:26

    The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

18. 2:27

    Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law,

19. 2:29

    “Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.

20. 2:37

    and then was a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.

21. 2:43

    When those days were over and they were returning home, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but His parents were unaware He had stayed.

22. 2:48

    When His parents saw Him, they were astonished. “Child, why have You done this to us?” His mother asked. “Your father and I have been anxiously searching for You.”

23. 2:52

    And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

24. 3:4

    as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.

25. 3:15

    The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

26. 3:21

    When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

27. 3:22

    and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”

28. 3:23

    Jesus Himself was about thirty years old when He began His ministry. He was regarded as the son of Joseph, the son of Heli,

29. 4:1

    Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

30. 4:3

    The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

31. 4:4

    But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

32. 4:8

    But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

33. 4:9

    Then the devil led Him to Jerusalem and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple. “If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down from here.

34. 4:12

    But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

35. 4:14

    Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.

36. 4:19

    to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

37. 4:34

    “Ha! What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

38. 4:35

    But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!” At this, the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without harming him.

39. 4:41

    Demons also came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But He rebuked the demons and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Christ.

40. 5:8

    When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

41. 5:10

    and so were his partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon. “From now on you will catch men.”

42. 5:12

    While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell facedown and begged Him, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

43. 5:17

    One day Jesus was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. People had come from Jerusalem and from every village of Galilee and Judea, and the power of the Lord was present for Him to heal the sick.

44. 5:19

    but they could not find a way through the crowd. So they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

45. 5:22

    Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

46. 5:24

    But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins…” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

47. 5:31

    Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

48. 6:3

    Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

49. 6:5

    Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

50. 6:9

    Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

51. 6:11

    But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

52. 6:22

    Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.

53. 6:46

    Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?

54. 7:3

    When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

55. 7:4

    They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

56. 7:6

    So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.

57. 7:9

    When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”

58. 7:13

    When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

59. 7:19

    So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

60. 7:22

    So He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.

61. 7:31

    “To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

62. 7:34

    The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

63. 7:40

    But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

64. 8:24

    The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.

65. 8:28

    When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”

66. 8:30

    “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

67. 8:35

    So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

68. 8:38

    The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

69. 8:39

    “Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.

70. 8:40

    When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

71. 8:41

    Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

72. 8:45

    “Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

73. 8:46

    But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

74. 8:50

    But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

75. 9:20

    “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

76. 9:22

    “The Son of Man must suffer many things,” He said. “He must be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”

77. 9:26

    If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

78. 9:33

    As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

79. 9:35

    And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!”

80. 9:36

    After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with them. The disciples kept this to themselves, and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.

81. 9:41

    “O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

82. 9:42

    Even while the boy was approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

83. 9:43

    And they were all astonished at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,

84. 9:44

    “Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”

85. 9:47

    But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him.

86. 9:50

    “Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

87. 9:54

    When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”

88. 9:56

    And He and His disciples went on to another village.

89. 9:57

    As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”

90. 9:58

    Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

91. 9:59

    Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.” The man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

92. 9:60

    But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You, however, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”

93. 9:61

    Still another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to my family.”

94. 9:62

    Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

95. 10:1

    After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit.

96. 10:2

    And He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.

97. 10:17

    The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name.”

98. 10:21

    At that time Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

99. 10:22

    All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”

100. 10:27

     He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ and ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

101. 10:29

     But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

102. 10:30

     Jesus took up this question and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.

103. 10:37

     “The one who showed him mercy,” replied the expert in the law. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

104. 10:39

     She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to His message.

105. 10:40

     But Martha was distracted by all the preparations to be made. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me!”

106. 10:41

     “Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you are worried and upset about many things.

107. 11:1

     One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

108. 11:30

     For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

109. 11:39

     Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

110. 12:8

     I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

111. 12:10

     And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

112. 12:40

     You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

113. 12:41

     “Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

114. 12:42

     And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?

115. 13:2

     To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this way?

116. 13:8

     ‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.

117. 13:12

     When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”

118. 13:14

     But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.”

119. 13:15

     “You hypocrites!” the Lord replied. “Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it to water?

120. 13:23

     “Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,

121. 13:25

     After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’

122. 13:35

     Look, your house is left to you desolate. And I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

123. 14:3

     So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

124. 14:22

     ‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

125. 15:31

     ‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.

126. 16:25

     But Abraham answered, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, while you are in agony.

127. 17:5

     The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

128. 17:6

     And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

129. 17:13

     and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

130. 17:17

     “Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

131. 17:22

     Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

132. 17:24

     For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.

133. 17:26

     Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

134. 17:30

     It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

135. 17:37

     “Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”

136. 18:6

     And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.

137. 18:8

     I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”

138. 18:16

     But Jesus called the children to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

139. 18:19

     “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.

140. 18:22

     On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

141. 18:24

     Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!

142. 18:31

     Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.

143. 18:37

     “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.

144. 18:38

     So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

145. 18:39

     Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

146. 18:40

     Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him,

147. 18:41

     “What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”

148. 18:42

     “Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”

149. 19:3

     He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd because he was small in stature.

150. 19:5

     When Jesus came to that place, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today.”

151. 19:8

     But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will repay it fourfold.”

152. 19:9

     Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham.

153. 19:10

     For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

154. 19:16

     The first servant came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has produced ten more minas.’

155. 19:18

     The second servant came and said, ‘Master, your mina has made five minas.’

156. 19:20

     Then another servant came and said, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have laid away in a piece of cloth.

157. 19:25

     ‘Master,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’

158. 19:31

     If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it.’”

159. 19:34

     “The Lord needs it,” they answered.

160. 19:35

     Then they led the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over it, and put Jesus on it.

161. 19:38

     “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

162. 20:8

     And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

163. 20:34

     Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

164. 20:37

     Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

165. 20:41

     Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

166. 20:42

     For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

167. 21:8

     Jesus answered, “See to it that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.

168. 21:27

     At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

169. 21:36

     So keep watch at all times, and pray that you may have the strength to escape all that is about to happen and to stand before the Son of Man.”

170. 22:22

     Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”

171. 22:31

     Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you like wheat.

172. 22:33

     “Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”

173. 22:38

     So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.

174. 22:47

     While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.

175. 22:48

     But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

176. 22:49

     Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”

177. 22:51

     But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.

178. 22:52

     Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple officers, and elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against an outlaw?

179. 22:61

     And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word that the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”

180. 22:63

     The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.

181. 22:67

     “If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.

182. 22:69

     But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

183. 22:70
