“‘… When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she has bathed Them with her tears and wiped Them with her hair. … I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown great love. … He said to her, ‘Your sins are forgiven. … ‘Your faith has saved you; go in peace.'”
“Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be His Own.”
“… a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to her, ‘Do not weep.’ He stepped forward and touched the coffin … He said, ‘Young man, I tell you, arise!’ The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave Him to His Mother. …”
“… the centurion sent friends to tell Him, ‘Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You enter under my roof. … but say the Word and let my servant be healed. For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, “Go,” and he goes; and to another, “Come here,” and he comes; and to my slave, “Do this,” and he does it.’ When Jesus heard this he was amazed … and … said … ‘I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.’…”
“‘… Who do you say that I AM?’ … ‘You are the Christ.’ … ‘Whoever wishes to come after Me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My Sake and that of the Gospel will save it.'”
“… For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have Eternal Life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be Saved through Him. … ”
“‘Blessed are you who are poor, for the Kingdom of God is yours. Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you, and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! Behold, your reward will be great in heaven. For their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way. …’ ….”
“Jesus departed to the mountain to pray,
and He spent the night in Prayer to God.
When day came, He called His Disciples to Himself,
and from them he chose Twelve, whom He also named Apostles:
Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew,
James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus,
Simon who was called a Zealot,
and Judas the son of James,
and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. …”
“… Jesus said … ‘I ask you, is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil,
to save life rather than to destroy it?’ Looking around at them all, he then said to him, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ He did so and his hand was restored. But they became enraged …”
“Thus says the LORD: Say to those whose hearts are frightened: Be strong, fear not! Here is your God, He comes with vindication; with Divine Recompense He comes to Save you. …”
