Visitation

39In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah,  40and she entered the house of Zechari'ah and greeted Elizabeth.  41And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit  42and she exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?  44For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.  45And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord."  46And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, 47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; 49for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. 50And his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation. 51He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts, 52he has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree; 53he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away. 54He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, 55as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity for ever." 56And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her home. Like 1:39-56

Vineyard

1And he began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a pit for the wine press, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country.  2When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.  3And they took him and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.  4Again he sent to them another servant, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully. 5And he sent another, and him they killed; and so with many others, some they beat and some they killed.  6He had still one other, a beloved son; finally he sent him to them, saying, `They will respect my son.'  7But those tenants said to one another, `This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'  8And they took him and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. 9What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants, and give the vineyard to others.  10Have you not read this scripture: `The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; 11this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?" 12And they tried to arrest him, but feared the multitude, for they perceived that he had told the parable against them; so they left him and went away. Mark 12:1-12

5000

11When the crowds learned it, they followed him; and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and cured those who had need of healing.  12Now the day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, "Send the crowd away, to go into the villages and country round about, to lodge and get provisions; for we are here in a lonely place."  13But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish -- unless we are to go and buy food for all these people."  14For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, "Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each."  15And they did so, and made them all sit down.  16And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.  17And all ate and were satisfied. And they took up what was left over, twelve baskets of broken pieces

Authority

27And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him,  28and they said to him, "By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?"  29Jesus said to them, "I will ask you a question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.  30Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men? Answer me."  31And they argued with one another, "If we say, `From heaven,' he will say, `Why then did you not believe him?'  32But shall we say, `From men'?" -- they were afraid of the people, for all held that John was a real prophet.  33So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things." Mark 11:27-33

Fig

11And he entered Jerusalem, and went into the temple; and when he had looked round at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.  12On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry.  13And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.  14And he said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard it.  15And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons;  16and he would not allow any one to carry anything through the temple.  17And he taught, and said to them, "Is it not written, `My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers."  18And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and sought a way to destroy him; for they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.  19And when evening came they went out of the city.  20As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.  21And Peter remembered and said to him, "Master, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered." 22And Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.  23Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, `Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.  24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.  25And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against any one; so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses." Mark 11:11-26

Bartimaeus

46And they came to Jericho; and as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, Bartimae'us, a blind beggar, the son of Timae'us, was sitting by the roadside.  47And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" 48And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"  49And Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." And they called the blind man, saying to him, "Take heart; rise, he is calling you."  50And throwing off his mantle he sprang up and came to Jesus.  51And Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?" And the blind man said to him, "Master, let me receive my sight."  52And Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way. Mark 10:46-52

Greatest

32And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him,  33saying, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him to the Gentiles;  34and they will mock him, and spit upon him, and scourge him, and kill him; and after three days he will rise."  35And James and John, the sons of Zeb'edee, came forward to him, and said to him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you."  36And he said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"  37And they said to him, "Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory."  38But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?"  39And they said to him, "We are able." And Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; 40but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared."  41And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John.  42And Jesus called them to him and said to them, "You know that those who are supposed to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.  43But it shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant,  44and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all.  45For the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10:32-45

Voice

22It was the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem;  23it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon.  24So the Jews gathered round him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."  25Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness to me; 26but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep.  27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;  28and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.  29My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.  30I and the Father are one." John 10:2-30

Good

17And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"  18And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.  19You know the commandments: `Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.'" 20And he said to him, "Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth."  21And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."  22At that saying his countenance fell, and he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.  23And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it will be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!"  24And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!  25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."  26And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him, "Then who can be saved?"  27Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God." Mark 10:17-27

Spirit

12"I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.  13When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.  14He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.  15All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you. John 16:12-15

Children

13And they were bringing children to him, that he might touch them; and the disciples rebuked them.  14But when Jesus saw it he was indignant, and said to them, "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God.  15Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it."  16And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands upon them. Mark 10: 13-16

Divorce

1And he left there and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered to him again; and again, as his custom was, he taught them.  2And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"  3He answered them, "What did Moses command you?"  4They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to put her away."  5But Jesus said to them, "For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. 6But from the beginning of creation, `God made them male and female.'  7`For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,  8and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh.  9What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."  10And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter.  11And he said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery against her;  12and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery." Mark 10:1-12

Cup

41For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward.  42"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea.  43And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire.  45And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell.  47And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell,  48where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.  49For every one will be salted with fire.  50Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its saltness, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another." Mark 9:41-50

Lilies

22And he said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat, nor about your body, what you shall put on.  23For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.  24Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!  25And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his span of life?  26If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?  27Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  28But if God so clothes the grass which is alive in the field today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O men of little faith!  29And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be of anxious mind.  30For all the nations of the world seek these things; and your Father knows that you need them.  31Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things shall be yours as well Luke 12:22-31

Child

30They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he would not have any one know it; 31for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, "The Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he will rise."  32But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to ask him.  33And they came to Caper'na-um; and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you discussing on the way?"  34But they were silent; for on the way they had discussed with one another who was the greatest.  35And he sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any one would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."  36And he took a child, and put him in the midst of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them,  37"Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me." Mark 9:30-37

Unclean

14And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd about them, and scribes arguing with them.  15And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and ran up to him and greeted him.  16And he asked them, "What are you discussing with them?"  17And one of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a dumb spirit;  18and wherever it seizes him, it dashes him down; and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid; and I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able."  19And he answered them, "O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me."  20And they brought the boy to him; and when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.  21And Jesus asked his father, "How long has he had this?" And he said, "From childhood.  22And it has often cast him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us." 23And Jesus said to him, "If you can! All things are possible to him who believes."  24Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief!"  25And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again."  26And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse; so that most of them said, "He is dead."  27But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.  28And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"  29And he said to them, "This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer."

Forgiven

19On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."  20When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.  21Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you."  22And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.  23If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained." John 20:19-23

Abide

9As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love.  10If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.  11These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.  12"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.  13Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.  14You are my friends if you do what I command you.  15No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.  16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide; so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.  17This I command you, to love one another. John 15: 9-17

More

15When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."  16A second time he said to him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."  17He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.  18Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you girded yourself and walked where you would; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish to go."  19(This he said to show by what death he was to glorify God.) And after this he said to him, "Follow me." John 21:15-19

believe

20"I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word,  21that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.  22The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,  23I in them and thou in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them even as thou hast loved me.  24Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, to behold my glory which thou hast given me in thy love for me before the foundation of the world.  25O righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee; and these know that thou hast sent me.  26I made known to them thy name, and I will make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them." John 17:22-26

world

11And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.  12While I was with them, I kept them in thy name, which thou hast given me; I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.  13But now I am coming to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.  14I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.  15I do not pray that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil one.  16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.  17Sanctify them in the truth; thy word is truth.  18As thou didst send me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.  19And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated in truth. John 17:11-19

One

1When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son that the Son may glorify thee,  2since thou hast given him power over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him.  3And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.  4I glorified thee on earth, having accomplished the work which thou gavest me to do;  5and now, Father, glorify thou me in thy own presence with the glory which I had with thee before the world was made.  6"I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world; thine they were, and thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word.  7Now they know that everything that thou hast given me is from thee;  8for I have given them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from thee; and they have believed that thou didst send me.  9I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine; 10all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them.  11And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. John 17:1-11
