“… Jesus said … ‘The coming of the Kingdom of God cannot be observed, and no one will announce, ‘Look, here it is,’ or, ‘There it is.’ For behold, the Kingdom of God is among you.’ … ‘just as lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in His Day. But first He must suffer greatly and be rejected by this generation.'” – Luke 17
As Jesus continued his journey … ten lepers met Him. … saying, ‘Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!’ … they were cleansed. … one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; and he fell at the Feet of Jesus and thanked Him. Jesus said … ‘… Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?’ … ‘Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.'” – Luke 17
“Jesus said to His Disciples: ‘In those days after that tribulation the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see “the Son of Man Coming in the clouds” with Great Power and Glory, and then He will send out the Angels
and gather His Elect from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of the sky. … But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the Angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.'” – Mark 13
“… A poor widow … came and put in two small coins …. [Jesus] said … ‘Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors …. For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth,
but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood.'”
“… The Pharisees, who loved money,
heard all these things and sneered at him.
And [Jesus] said to them,
‘You justify yourselves in the sight of others,
but God knows your hearts;
for what is of human esteem is an abomination in the sight of God.'”
“… Jesus … found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, as well as the money-changers …. He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables … ‘… stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.’ … Jesus … ‘”Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.’ …”
“‘… I tell you … there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance. …'”
“‘… the master of the house in a rage commanded his servant, “Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in here the poor and the crippled, the blind and the lame.” The servant reported, “Sir, your orders have been carried out and still there is room.” The master then ordered the servant, “Go out to the highways and hedgerows and make people come in that my home may be filled. For, I tell you, none of those men who were invited will taste my dinner.”‘”
“… “Which is the first of all the Commandments?’ Jesus replied, ‘The first is this: Hear, O Israel!
The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul,
with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other Commandment greater than these.'”
“‘… everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.'”
