Luk 5:14 "Don't tell anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing as Moses commanded as proof to the authorities."
Luk 5:20 "Mister, your sins are forgiven."
Luk 5:22 "Why are you arguing about this among yourselves?
Luk 5:23 Which is easier: to say 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say 'Get up and walk'?

Luk 6:21 How blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied! How blessed are you who are crying now, for you will laugh!
Luk 6:22 How blessed are you whenever people hate you, avoid you, insult you, and slander you because of the Son of Man!
Luk 6:23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for your reward in heaven is great! For that's the way their ancestors used to treat the prophets.
Luk 6:24 "But how terrible it will be for you who are rich, for you have had your comfort!
Luk 6:25 How terrible it will be for you who are full now, for you will be hungry! How terrible it will be for you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and cry!

Luk 6:27 "But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.
Luk 6:28 Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who insult you.
Luk 6:29 If someone strikes you on the cheek, offer him the other one as well, and if someone takes your coat, don't keep back your shirt, either.
Luk 6:30 Keep on giving to everyone who asks you for something, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not insist on getting it back.
Luk 6:31 Whatever you want people to do for you, do the same for them.
Luk 6:32 "If you love those who love you, what thanks do you deserve? Why, even sinners love those who love them.
Luk 6:33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what thanks do you deserve? Even sinners do that.
Luk 6:34 If you lend to those from whom you expect to get something back, what thanks do you deserve? Even sinners lend to sinners to get back what they lend.

Luk 6:40 A disciple is not better than his teacher. But everyone who is fully-trained will be like his teacher.
Luk 6:41 "Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?
Luk 6:42 How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you don't see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you'll see clearly enough to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
Luk 6:43 "A good tree doesn't produce rotten fruit, and a rotten tree doesn't produce good fruit.
Luk 6:44 For every tree is known by its own fruit. People don't gather figs from thorny plants or pick grapes from a thorn bush.
Luk 6:45 A good person produces good from the good treasure of his heart, and an evil person produces evil from an evil treasure. For it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks."
Luk 6:46 "Why do you keep calling me 'Lord, Lord,' but don't do what I tell you?
Luk 6:47 I will show you what everyone is like who comes to me, hears my words, and acts on them.
Luk 6:48 He is like a person building a house, who dug a deep hole to lay the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the floodwaters pushed against that house but couldn't shake it, because it had been founded on the rock.
Luk 6:49 But the person who hears what I say but doesn't act on it is like someone who built a house on the ground without any foundation. When the floodwaters pushed against it, that house quickly collapsed, and the ruin of that house was devastating."

Luk 7:23 How blessed is anyone who is not offended by me!"
Luk 7:24 "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Luk 7:25 Really, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? See, those who wear fine clothes and live in luxury are in royal palaces.
Luk 7:26 Really, what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!
Luk 7:27 This is the man about whom it is written, 'See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.'
Luk 7:28 I tell you, among those born of women no one is greater than John. Yet even the least important person in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he."
Luk 7:31 "To what can I compare the people of this generation?
Luk 7:32 They are like little children who sit in the marketplace and shout to each other, 'A wedding song we played for you, the dance you did but scorn. A woeful dirge we chanted, too, but then you did not mourn.'
Luk 7:33 For John the Baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, yet you say, 'He has a demon!'
Luk 7:34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'
Luk 7:35 Absolved from every act of sin, is wisdom by her kith and kin."
Luk 7:40 "Simon, I have something to say to you."
Luk 7:41 "Two men were in debt to a moneylender. One owed him 500 denarii, and the other fifty.
Luk 7:42 When they couldn't pay it back, he generously canceled the debts for both of them. Now which of them will love him the most?"
Luk 7:43 "You have answered correctly."
Luk 7:44 "Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You didn't give me any water for my feet, but this woman has washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair.
Luk 7:45 You didn't give me a kiss, but this woman, from the moment I came in, has not stopped kissing my feet.
Luk 7:46 You didn't anoint my head with oil, but this woman has anointed my feet with perfume.
Luk 7:47 So I'm telling you that her sins, as many as they are, have been forgiven, and that's why she has shown such great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven loves little."
Luk 7:48 "Your sins are forgiven!"
Luk 7:50 "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
Luk 8:5 "A sower went out to sow his seed. As he was sowing, some seeds fell along the path, were trampled on, and the birds of the sky ate them up.
Luk 8:6 Others fell on stony ground, and as soon as they came up, they dried up because they had no moisture.
Luk 8:7 Others fell among thornbushes, and the thornbushes grew with them and choked them.
Luk 8:8 But others fell on good soil, and when they came up, they produced a hundred times as much as was planted." "Let the person who has ears to hear, listen!"
Luk 8:10 "You have been given knowledge about the secrets of the kingdom of God. But to others they are given in parables, so that 'they might look but not see, and they might listen but not understand.'"
Luk 8:11 "Now this is what the parable means. The seed is God's word.
Luk 8:12 The ones on the path are the people who listen, but then the devil comes and takes the word away from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
Luk 8:13 The ones on the stony ground are the people who welcome the word with joy when they hear it. But since they don't have any roots, they believe for a while, but in a time of testing they fall away.
Luk 8:14 The ones that fell among the thornbushes are the people who listen, but as they go on their way they are choked by the worries, wealth, and pleasures of life, and their fruit doesn't mature.
Luk 8:15 But the ones on the good soil are the people who also hear the word but hold on to it with good and honest hearts and produce a crop through endurance."
Luk 8:16 "No one lights a lamp and hides it under a bowl or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in will see the light.
Luk 8:17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and there is nothing secret that will not become known and come to light.
Luk 8:18 So pay attention to how you listen. For to the one who has something, more will be given. However, from the one who doesn't have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him."
Luk 8:21 "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it."
Luk 8:22 "Let's cross to the other side of the lake."
Luk 8:25 "Where is your faith?
Luk 8:30 "What's your name?"
Luk 8:39 "Go home and declare how much God has done for you."
Luk 8:45 "Who touched me?"
Luk 8:46 "Somebody touched me, for I know that power has gone out of me."
Luk 8:48 "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
Luk 8:50 "Stop being afraid! Just believe, and she will get well."
Luk 8:52 "Stop crying! She's not dead but
Luk 9:3 is sleeping."
Luk 8:54 "Child, get up!" "Don't take anything along on the trip-no walking stick, traveling bag, bread, money, or even an extra shirt.
Luk 9:4 When you go into a home, stay there and leave from there.
Luk 9:5 If people don't welcome you, when you leave that city, shake its dust off your feet as a testimony against them."
Luk 9:13 "You give them something to eat."
Luk 9:14 "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty."
Luk 9:18 "Who do the crowds say I am?"
Luk 9:20 "But who do you say I am?"
Luk 9:22 "The Son of Man must suffer a great deal and be rejected by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes. Then he must be killed, but on the third day he will be raised."
Luk 9:23"If anyone wants to come with me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross every day, and follow me continually.
Luk 9:24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
Luk 9:25 What profit will a person have if he gains the whole world, but destroys himself or is lost?
Luk 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 the glory of the Father and the holy angels.
Luk 9:27 Truly I tell you, some people who are standing here will not experience death until they see the kingdom of God."
Luk 9:41 "You unbelieving and perverted generation! How much longer must I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here!"
Luk 9:44 "Listen carefully to these words. The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands."
Luk 9:48 "Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For the one who is least among all of you is the one who is greatest."
Luk 9:50 "Don't stop him! For whoever is not against you is for you."
Luk 9:58 "Foxes have holes and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to rest."
Luk 9:59 "Follow me."Luk 9:60 "Let the dead bury their own dead. But you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
Luk 9:62 "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."
Luk 10:2 "The harvest is vast, but the workers are few. So ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers out into his harvest.
Luk 10:3 Get going! See, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
Luk 10:4 Don't carry a wallet, a traveling bag, or sandals, and don't greet anyone on the way.
Luk 10:5 "Whatever house you go into, first say, 'May there be peace in this house.'
Luk 10:6 If a peaceful person lives there, your greeting of peace will remain with him. But if that's not the case, your greeting will come back to you.
Luk 10:7 Stay with the same family, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for the worker deserves his pay. Don't move from house to house.
Luk 10:8 "Whenever you go into a town and the people welcome you, eat whatever they serve you,
Luk 10:9 heal the sick that are there, and tell them, 'The kingdom of God is near you!'
Luk 10:10 But whenever you go into a town and people don't welcome you, go out into its streets and say,
Luk 10:11 'We are wiping off your town's dust that clings to our feet in protest against you! But realize this: the kingdom of God is near!'
Luk 10:12 I tell you, on that day it will be easier for Sodom than for that town!"
Luk 10:13 "How terrible it will be for you, Chorazin! How terrible it will be for you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that happened in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Luk 10:14 It will be easier for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you!
Luk 10:15 And you, Capernaum! You won't be lifted up to heaven, will you? You'll go down to Hades!
Luk 10:16 The person who listens to you listens to me, and the person who rejects you rejects me. The person who rejects me rejects the one who sent me."
Luk 10:18 "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.
Luk 10:19 Look! I have given you the authority to trample snakes and scorpions and to destroy all the enemy's power, and nothing will ever hurt you.
Luk 10:20 However, stop rejoicing because the spirits are submitting to you. Rather, rejoice because your names are written in heaven."
Luk 10:21 "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from wise and intelligent people and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this is what was pleasing to you.
Luk 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 the person to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."
Luk 10:23 "How blessed are the eyes that see what you see!
Luk 10:24 For I tell you, many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see but didn't see them, and to hear the things you hear but didn't hear them."
Luk 10:26 "What is written in the law? What do you read there?"
Luk 10:28 "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."
Luk 10:30 "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of bandits. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.
Luk 10:31 By chance, a priest was traveling along that road. When he saw the man, he went by on the other side.
Luk 10:32 Similarly, a Levite came to that place. When he saw the man, he also went by on the other side.
Luk 10:33 But as he was traveling along, a Samaritan came across the man. When the Samaritan saw him, he was moved with compassion.
Luk 10:34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
Luk 10:35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take good care of him. If you spend more than that, I'll repay you when I come back.'
Luk 10:36 "Of these three men, who do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the bandits?"
Luk 10:37 "Go and do what he did."
Luk 10:41 "Martha, Martha! You worry and fuss about a lot of things.
Luk 10:42 But there's only one thing you need. Mary has chosen what is better, and it is not to be taken away from her."
Luk 11:2 "Whenever you pray you are to say, 'Father, may your name be kept holy. May your kingdom come.
Luk 11:3 Keep giving us every day our daily bread,
Luk 11:4 and forgive us our sins, as we forgive everyone who sins against us. And never bring us into temptation.'"
Luk 11:5 "Suppose one of you has a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say to him, 'Friend, let me borrow three loaves of bread.
Luk 11:6 A friend of mine on a trip has dropped in on me, and I don't have anything to serve him.'
Luk 11:7 Suppose he answers from inside, 'Stop bothering me! The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything!'
Luk 11:8 I tell you, even though he doesn't want to get up and give him anything because he is his friend, he will get up and give him whatever he needs because of his persistence.
Luk 11:9 So I say to you: Keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened for you.
Luk 11:10 For everyone who keeps asking will receive, and the person who keeps searching will find, and the person who keeps knocking will have the door opened.
Luk 11:11 "What father among you, if his son asks for bread, would give him a stone, or if he asks for a fish, would give him a snake instead of the fish?
Luk 11:12 Or if he asks for an egg, would he give him a scorpion?
Luk 11:13 So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who keep asking him!"
Luk 11:17 "Every kingdom divided against itself is devastated, and a divided household collapses.
Luk 11:18 Now if Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom last? For you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.
Luk 11:19 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own followers drive them out? That is why they will be your judges!
Luk 11:20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.
Luk 11:21 "When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own mansion, his property is safe.
Luk 11:22 But when a stronger man than he attacks him and defeats him, he'll take away his armor in which he trusted and divide his plunder.
Luk 11:23 The person who isn't with me is against me, and the person who doesn't gather with me scatters."
Luk 11:24 "Whenever an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it wanders through dry places looking for a place to rest but doesn't find any. So it says, 'I will go back to my home that I left.'
Luk 11:25 When it arrives, it finds it swept clean and put in order.
Luk 11:26 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and settle there. And so the final condition of that person is worse than the first."
Luk 11:28 "Rather, how blessed are those who hear God's word and obey it!"
Luk 11:29 "This generation is an evil generation. It craves a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.
Luk 11:30 For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.
Luk 11:31 The queen of the south will stand up at the judgment with the people of this generation and will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. But look, something greater than Solomon is here!
Luk 11:32 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. But look, something greater than Jonah is here!"
Luk 11:33 "No one lights a lamp and puts it in a hiding place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see its light.
Luk 11:34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light. But when it is evil, your body is full of darkness.
Luk 11:35 Therefore, be careful that the light in you isn't darkness.
Luk 11:36 Now if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, it will be as full of light as when a lamp gives you light with its rays."
Luk 11:39 "Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but on the inside you are full of greed and evil.
Luk 11:40 You fools! The one who made the outside made the inside, too, didn't he?
Luk 11:41 So give what is inside to the poor, and then everything will be clean for you.
Luk 11:42 "How terrible it will be for you Pharisees! For you give a tenth of your mint, spices, and every kind of herb, but you neglect justice and the love of God. These are the things you should have practiced, without neglecting the others.
Luk 11:43 How terrible it will be for you Pharisees! For you love to have the places of honor in the synagogues and to be greeted in the marketplaces.
Luk 11:44 How terrible it will be for you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk on them without realizing it."
Luk 11:46 "How terrible it will be for you experts in the law, too! For you load people with burdens that are hard to carry, yet you yourselves don't even lift one of your fingers to ease the burdens.
Luk 11:47 How terrible it will be for you! For you build monuments for the prophets, and it was your ancestors who killed them!
Luk 11:48 So you are witnesses and approve of the deeds of your ancestors, because they killed those for whom you are building monuments.
Luk 11:49 That is why the Wisdom of God said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles. They will kill some of them and persecute others,'
Luk 11:50 so that this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that was shed since the foundation of the world,
Luk 11:51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who died between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be charged against this generation!
Luk 11:52 How terrible it will be for you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You didn't go in yourselves, and you kept out those who were trying to go in."
Luk 12:1 "Watch out for the yeast-that is, the hypocrisy-of the Pharisees!
Luk 12:2 There is nothing covered that will not be exposed and nothing secret that will not be made known.
Luk 12:3 Accordingly, what you have said in darkness will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in private rooms will be shouted from the housetops."
Luk 12:4 "But I tell you, my friends, never be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can't do anything more.
Luk 12:5 I'll show you the one you should be afraid of. Be afraid of the one who has the authority to throw you into hell after killing you. Yes, I tell you, be afraid of him!
Luk 12:6 "Five sparrows are sold for two pennies, aren't they? Yet not one of them is forgotten in God's sight.
Luk 12:7 Why, even all the hairs on your head have been counted! Stop being afraid. You are worth more than a bunch of sparrows."
Luk 12:8 "But I tell you, the Son of Man will acknowledge before God's angels everyone who acknowledges me before people.
Luk 12:9 But whoever denies me before people will be denied before God's angels.
Luk 12:10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the person who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Luk 12:11 When people bring you before synagogue leaders, rulers, or authorities, don't worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say.
Luk 12:12 For in that hour the Holy Spirit will teach you what you are to say."
Luk 12:14 "Mister, who appointed me to be a judge or arbitrator over you people?"
Luk 12:15 "Be careful to guard yourselves against every kind of greed, for a person's life doesn't consist of the amount of possessions he has."
Luk 12:16 "The land of a certain rich man produced good crops.
Luk 12:17 So he began to think to himself, 'What should I do, since I have no place to store my crops?'
Luk 12:18 Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I'll tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and I'll store all my grain and goods in them.
Luk 12:19 Then I'll say to my soul, "Soul, you've stored up plenty of good things for many years. Take it easy, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself."'
Luk 12:20 But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Now who will get the things you've accumulated?'
Luk 12:21 That's how it is with the person who stores up treasures for himself and isn't rich toward God."
Luk 12:22 "That's why I'm telling you to stop worrying about your life-what you will eat-or about your body-what you will wear.
Luk 12:23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
Luk 12:24 Consider the crows. They don't plant or harvest, they don't even have a storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
Luk 12:25 Can any of you add an hour to your span of life by worrying?
Luk 12:26 So if you can't do a small thing like that, why worry about other things?
Luk 12:27 Consider how the lilies grow. They don't work or spin yarn, but I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them.
Luk 12:28 Now if that's the way God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and thrown into an oven tomorrow, how much more will he clothe you-you who have little faith?
Luk 12:29 "So stop concerning yourselves about what you will eat or what you will drink, and stop being distressed.
Luk 12:30 For it is the gentiles who are concerned about all these things. Surely your Father knows that you need them!
Luk 12:31 Instead, be concerned about his kingdom, and these things will be provided for you as well.
Luk 12:32 Stop being afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.
Luk 12:33 "Sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor. Make yourselves wallets that don't wear out-a dependable treasure in heaven, where no thief can get close and no moth can destroy anything.
Luk 12:34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Luk 12:35 "You must keep your belts fastened and your lamps burning.
Luk 12:36 Be like people who are waiting for their master to return from a wedding. As soon as he comes and knocks, they will open the door for him.
Luk 12:37 How blessed are those servants whom the master finds watching for him when he comes! Truly I tell you, he will put an apron on, make them sit down at the table, and go around and serve them.
Luk 12:38 How blessed they will be if he comes in the middle of the night or near dawn and finds them awake!
Luk 12:39 But be sure of this: if the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and would not have let his house be broken into.
Luk 12:40 So be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you don't expect him."
Luk 12:42 "Who, then, is the faithful and careful manager whom his master will put in charge of giving all his other servants their share of food at the right time?
Luk 12:43 How blessed is that servant whom his master finds doing this when he comes!
Luk 12:44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his property.
Luk 12:45 "But if that servant says to himself, 'My master is taking a long time to come back,' and begins to beat the other servants and to eat, drink, and get drunk,
Luk 12:46 the master of that servant will come on a day when he doesn't expect him and at an hour that he doesn't know. Then his master will punish him severely and assign him a place with unfaithful people.
Luk 12:47 That servant who knew what his master wanted but didn't prepare himself or do what was wanted will receive a severe beating.
Luk 12:48 But the servant who did things that deserved a beating without knowing it will receive a light beating. Much will be required from everyone to whom much has been given. But even more will be demanded from the one to whom much has been entrusted."
Luk 12:49 "I have come to bring fire on earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
Luk 12:50 I have a baptism to be baptized with, and what stress I am under until it is completed!
Luk 12:51 "Do you think that I came to bring peace on earth? Not at all, I tell you, but rather division!
Luk 12:52 From now on, five people in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.
Luk 12:53 They will be divided father against son, son against father, mother against daughter, daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."
Luk 12:54 "When you see a cloud coming in the west, you immediately say, 'There's going to be a storm,' and that's what happens.
Luk 12:55 When you see a south wind blowing, you say, 'It's going to be hot,' and so it is.
Luk 12:56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, yet you don't know how to interpret the present time?"
Luk 12:57 "Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right?
Luk 12:58 For example, when you go with your opponent in front of a ruler, do your best to settle with him on the way there. Otherwise, you will be dragged in front of the judge, and the judge will hand you over to an officer, and the officer will throw you into prison.
Luk 12:59 I tell you, you will never get out of there until you pay back the last penny!"
Luk 13:2 "Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all the other Galileans because they suffered like this?
Luk 13:3 Absolutely not, I tell you! But if you don't repent, then you, too, will all die.
Luk 13:4 What about those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were worse offenders than all the other people living in Jerusalem?
Luk 13:5 Absolutely not, I tell you! But if you don't repent, then you, too, will all die."
Luk 13:6 "A man had a fig tree that had been planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it but didn't find any.
Luk 13:7 So he said to the gardener, 'Look here! For three years I have been coming to look for fruit on this tree but haven't found any. Cut it down! Why should it waste the soil?'
Luk 13:8 But the gardener replied, 'Sir, leave it alone for one more year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
Luk 13:9 Maybe next year it'll bear fruit. If not, then cut it down.'"
Luk 13:12 "Woman, you are free from your illness."
Luk 13:15 "You hypocrites! Doesn't each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey and lead it out of the stall to give it some water?
Luk 13:16 Shouldn't this woman, a descendant of Abraham whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free from this bondage on the Sabbath day?"
Luk 13:18 "What is the kingdom of God like? What can I compare it to?
Luk 13:19 It is like a mustard seed that someone took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds in the sky nest in its branches."
Luk 13:20 "What can I compare the kingdom of God to?
Luk 13:21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened." Luk 13:24 "Keep on struggling to enter through the narrow door. For I tell you that many people will try to enter but won't be able to.
Luk 13:25 After the homeowner gets up and closes the door, you can stand outside, knock on the door, and say again and again, 'Lord, open the door for us!' But he will answer you, 'I don't know where you come from.'
Luk 13:26 Then you will say, 'We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.'
Luk 13:27 But he will tell you, 'I don't know where you come from. Get away from me, all you evildoers!'
Luk 13:28 In that place there will be crying and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves being driven away on the outside.
Luk 13:29 People will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will eat in the kingdom of God.
Luk 13:30 You see, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last."
Luk 13:32 "Go and tell that fox, 'Listen! I am driving out demons and healing today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will finish my work.
Luk 13:33 But I must be on my way today, tomorrow, and the next day, for it's not possible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem.'
Luk 13:34 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones to death those who have been sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you didn't want to!
Luk 13:35 Look! Your house is left to you deserted. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
Luk 14:3 "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?"
Luk 14:5 "If your son or ox falls into a well on the Sabbath day, you would pull him out immediately, wouldn't you?"
Luk 14:8 "When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, don't sit down at the place of honor in case someone more important than you was invited by him.
Luk 14:9 Then the host who invited both of you would come to you and say, 'Give this person your place.' In disgrace, you would have to take the place of least honor.
Luk 14:10 But when you are invited, go and sit down at the place of least honor. Then, when your host comes, he will tell you, 'Friend, move up higher,' and you will be honored in the presence of all who eat with you.
Luk 14:11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the person who humbles himself will be exalted."
Luk 14:12 "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, stop inviting only your friends, brothers, relatives, or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return and you would be repaid.
Luk 14:13 Instead, when you give a banquet, make it your habit to invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind.
Luk 14:14 Then you will be blessed because they can't repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."
Luk 14:16 "A man gave a large banquet and invited many people.
Luk 14:17 When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who were invited, 'Come! Everything is now ready.'
Luk 14:18 Every single one of them began asking to be excused. The first said to him, 'I bought a field, and I need to go out and inspect it. Please excuse me.'
Luk 14:19 Another said, 'I bought five pairs of oxen, and I'm on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.'
Luk 14:20 Still another said, 'I recently got married, and that's why I can't come.'
Luk 14:21 "So the servant went back and reported this to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and told his servant, 'Go quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring back the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.'
Luk 14:22 The servant said, 'Sir, what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.'
Luk 14:23 Then the master told the servant, 'Go out into the streets and the lanes and make the people come in, so that my house may be full.
Luk 14:24 For I tell all of you, none of those men who were invited will taste anything at my banquet.'"
Luk 14:26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, as well as his own life, he can't be my disciple.
Luk 14:27 Whoever doesn't carry his cross and follow me can't be my disciple.
Luk 14:28 "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. He will first sit down and estimate the cost to see whether he has enough money to finish it, won't he?
Luk 14:29 Otherwise, if he lays a foundation and can't finish the building, everyone who watches will begin to ridicule him
Luk 14:30 and say, 'This person started a building but couldn't finish it.'
Luk 14:31 "Or suppose a king is going to war against another king. He will first sit down and consider whether with 10,000 men he can oppose the one coming against him with 20,000 men, won't he?
Luk 14:32 If he can't, he will send a delegation to ask for terms of peace while the other king is still far away.
Luk 14:33 In the same way, none of you can be my disciple unless he gives up all his possessions."
Luk 14:34 "Now, salt is good. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can its flavor be restored?
Luk 14:35 It is suitable neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. People throw it away. Let the person who has ears to hear, listen!"
Luk 15:4 "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. He leaves the ninety-nine in the wilderness and looks for the one that is lost until he finds it, doesn't he?
Luk 15:5 When he finds it, he puts it on his shoulders and rejoices.
Luk 15:6 Then he goes home, calls his friends and neighbors together, and says to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!'
Luk 15:7 In the same way, I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance."
Luk 15:8 "Or suppose a woman has ten coins and loses one of them. She lights a lamp, sweeps the house, and searches carefully until she finds it, doesn't she?
Luk 15:9 When she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I lost!'
Luk 15:10 In the same way, I tell you that there is joy in the presence of God's angels over one sinner who repents."
Luk 15:11 "A man had two sons.
Luk 15:12 The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So the father divided his property between them.
Luk 15:13 A few days later, the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country. There he wasted his possessions on wild living.
Luk 15:14 After he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need.
Luk 15:15 So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
Luk 15:16 He would gladly have filled himself with the husks the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
Luk 15:17 "Then he came to his senses and said, 'How many of my father's hired men have more food than they can eat, and here I am starving to death!
Luk 15:18 I will get up, go to my father, and say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and you.
Luk 15:19 I don't deserve to be called your son anymore. Treat me like one of your hired men."'
Luk 15:20 "So he got up and went to his father. While he was still far away, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, threw his arms around him, and kissed him affectionately.
Luk 15:21 Then his son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and you. I don't deserve to be called your son anymore.'
Luk 15:22 But the father said to his servants, 'Hurry! Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
Luk 15:23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let's eat and celebrate!
Luk 15:24 For my son was dead and has come back to life. He was lost and has been found.' And they began to celebrate.
Luk 15:25 "Now his older son was in the field. As he was coming back to the house, he heard music and dancing.
Luk 15:26 So he called to one of the servants and asked what was happening.
Luk 15:27 The servant told him, 'Your brother has come home, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he got him back safely.'
Luk 15:28 "Then the older son became angry and wouldn't go into the house. So his father came out and began to plead with him.
Luk 15:29 But he answered his father, "Listen! All these years I've worked like a slave for you. I've never disobeyed a command of yours. Yet you've never given me so much as a young goat so that I could celebrate with my friends.
Luk 15:30 But this son of yours spent your money on prostitutes, and when he came back, you killed the fattened calf for him!'
Luk 15:31 "His father said to him, 'My child, you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.
Luk 15:32 But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come back to life. He was lost and has been found.'"
Luk 16:1 "A rich man had a manager who was accused of wasting his assets.
Luk 16:2 So he called for him and asked him, 'What's this I hear about you? Give me a report about your management, because you can't be my manager any longer.'
Luk 16:3 "Then the manager said to himself, 'What should I do? My master is taking my position away from me. I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg.
Luk 16:4 I know what I'll do so that people will welcome me into their homes when I'm dismissed from my job.'
Luk 16:5 "So he called for each of his master's debtors. He asked the first, 'How much do you owe my master?'
Luk 16:6 The man replied, 'A hundred jars of olive oil.' The manager told him, 'Get your bill. Sit down quickly and write "fifty."'
Luk 16:7 Then he asked another debtor, 'How much do you owe?' The man replied, 'A hundred containers of wheat.' The manager told him, 'Get your bill and write "eighty."'
Luk 16:8 The master praised the dishonest manager for being so clever. For worldly people are more clever than enlightened people in dealing with their own generation.
Luk 16:9 "I'm telling you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous riches, so that when they're gone you'll be welcomed into eternal homes.
Luk 16:10 Whoever is faithful with very little is also faithful with a lot, and whoever is dishonest with very little is also dishonest with a lot.
Luk 16:11 So if you have not been faithful with unrighteous riches, who will trust you with true wealth?
Luk 16:12 And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to foreigners, who will give you what is your own?
Luk 16:13 "No servant can serve two masters. For either he will hate one and love the other, or be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and riches!"
Luk 16:15 "You try to justify yourselves in front of people, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly valued by people is detestable to God.
Luk 16:16 "The law and the Prophets were prophesying until the time of John. Since then, the good news about the kingdom of God has been proclaimed, and everyone is trying to enter it by force.
Luk 16:17 However, it is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for one stroke of a letter in the law to be dropped.
Luk 16:18 Any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery."
Luk 16:19 "Once there was a rich man who used to dress in purple and fine linen and live in great luxury every day.
Luk 16:20 A beggar named Lazarus, who was covered with sores, was brought to his gate.
Luk 16:21 He was always craving to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man's table. In fact, even the dogs used to come and lick his sores.
Luk 16:22 "One day the beggar died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried.
Luk 16:23 In the afterlife, where he was in constant torture, he looked up and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus by his side.
Luk 16:24 So he shouted, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me! Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and to cool off my tongue, because I am suffering in this fire.'
Luk 16:25 But Abraham said, 'My child, remember that during your lifetime you received blessings, while Lazarus received hardships. But now he is being comforted here, while you suffer.
Luk 16:26 Besides all this, a wide chasm has been fixed between us, so that those who want to cross from this side to you can't do so, nor can they cross from your side to us.'
Luk 16:27 "The rich man said, 'Then I beg you, father, send him to my father's house-
Luk 16:28 for I have five brothers-to warn them, so that they won't end up in this place of torture, too.'
Luk 16:29 Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets. They should listen to them!'
Luk 16:30 But the rich man replied, 'No, father Abraham! Yet if someone from the dead went to them, they would repent.'
Luk 16:31 Then Abraham said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded, even if someone rises from the dead.'"
Luk 17:1 "It is inevitable that temptations to sin will come, but how terrible it will be for the person through whom they come!
Luk 17:2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.
Luk 17:3 "Watch yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
Luk 17:4 Even if he sins against you seven times in a day and comes back to you seven times and says, 'I repent,' you must forgive him."
Luk 17:6 "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you!
Luk 17:7 "Suppose a man among you has a servant plowing or watching sheep. Would he say to him when he comes in from the field, 'Come at once and have something to eat'?
Luk 17:8 Of course not. Instead, he would say to him, 'Get dinner ready for me, and put on your apron and wait on me until I eat and drink. Then you can eat and drink.'
Luk 17:9 He doesn't praise the servant for doing what was commanded, does he?
Luk 17:10 That's the way it is with you. When you have done everything you were ordered to do, say, 'We are worthless servants. We have done only what we ought to have done.'"
Luk 17:14 "Go and show yourselves to the priests."
Luk 17:17 "Ten men were made clean, weren't they? Where are the other nine?
Luk 17:18 Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?"
Luk 17:19 "Get up, and go home! Your faith has made you well."
Luk 17:20 "The kingdom of God is not coming with a visible display.
Luk 17:21 People won't say, 'Look! Here it is!' or "There it is!' For the kingdom of God is among you."
Luk 17:22 "The time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
Luk 17:23 People will say to you, 'Look! There he is!' or 'Look! Here he is!' Don't go and chase after him.
Luk 17:24 For just as lightning flashes and shines from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
Luk 17:25 But first he must suffer a great deal and be rejected by this generation.
Luk 17:26 "Just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man.
Luk 17:27 People were eating, drinking, marrying, and being given in marriage right up to the day when Noah went into the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed all of them.
Luk 17:28 So it was in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
Luk 17:29 But on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed all of them.
Luk 17:30 The day when the Son of Man is revealed will be like that.
Luk 17:31 "The person who is on the housetop that day must not come down to get the belongings out of his house. The person in the field, too, must not turn back.
Luk 17:32 Remember Lot's wife!
Luk 17:33 Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
Luk 17:34 I tell you, two people will be in the same bed that night. One will be taken, and the other will be left behind.
Luk 17:35 Two woman will be grinding grain together. One will be taken, and the other will be left behind."
Luk 17:36 Two people will be in a field. One will be taken, and the other will be left behind.
Luk 17:37 "Wherever there's a body, there the vultures will gather."
Luk 18:2 "In a city there was a judge who didn't fear God or respect people.
Luk 18:3 In that city there was also a widow who kept coming to him and saying, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.'
Luk 18:4 For a while the judge refused. But later he said to himself, 'I don't fear God or respect people.
Luk 18:5 Yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice. Otherwise, she will keep coming and wear me out.'"
Luk 18:6 "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
Luk 18:7 Won't God grant his chosen people justice when they cry out to him day and night? Is he slow to help them?
Luk 18:8 I tell you, he will give them justice quickly. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"
Luk 18:10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
Luk 18:11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, 'O God, I thank you that I'm not like other people-thieves, dishonest people, adulterers, or even this tax collector.
Luk 18:12 I fast twice a week, and I give a tenth of my entire income.'
Luk 18:13 "But the tax collector stood at a distance and would not even look up to heaven. Instead, he continued to beat his chest and said, 'O God, be merciful to me, the sinner that I am!'
Luk 18:14 I tell you, this man, rather than the other, went down to his home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the person who humbles himself will be exalted."
Luk 18:16 "Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away. For the kingdom of God belongs to people like these.
Luk 18:17 Truly I tell you, whoever doesn't receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never get into it at all."
Luk 18:19 "Why do you call me good? Nobody is good except for one-God.
Luk 18:20 You know the commandments: 'Never commit adultery. Never murder. Never steal. Never give false testimony. Honor your father and mother.'"
Luk 18:22 "You still need one thing. Sell everything you have and give the money to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me."
Luk 18:24 "How hard it is for rich people to get into the kingdom of God!
Luk 18:25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into the kingdom of God."
Luk 18:27 "The things that are impossible for people are possible for God."
Luk 18:29 "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left his home, wife, brothers, parents, or children because of the kingdom of God
Luk 18:30 who will not receive many times as much in this world, as well as eternal life in the age to come." Luk 18:31 "See, we are going up to Jerusalem. Everything written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
Luk 18:32 For he will be handed over to the gentiles and will be mocked, insulted, and spit on.
Luk 18:33 After they have whipped him, they will kill him, but on the third day he will rise again."
Luk 18:41 "What do you want me to do for you?"
Luk 18:42 "Receive your sight! Your faith has made you well."
Luk 19:5 "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down! I must stay at your house today."
Luk 19:9 "Today salvation has come to this home, because he, too, is a descendant of Abraham.
Luk 19:10 For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost."
Luk 19:12 "A prince went to a distant country to be appointed king and then to return.
Luk 19:13 He called ten of his servants and gave them ten coins. He said to them, 'Invest this money until I come back.'
Luk 19:14 But the citizens of his country hated him and sent a delegation to follow him, saying, 'We don't want this man to rule over us!'
Luk 19:15 "After he was appointed king, he came back. He ordered the servants to whom he had given the money to be called so that he could find out what they had made by investing.
Luk 19:16 The first servant came and said, 'Sir, your coin has earned ten more coins.'
Luk 19:17 The king said to him, 'Well done, good servant! Because you have been trustworthy in a very small thing, take charge of ten cities.'
Luk 19:18 "The second servant came and said, 'Your coin, sir, has earned five coins.'
Luk 19:19 The king said to him, 'You take charge of five cities.'
Luk 19:20 "Then the other servant came and said, 'Sir, look! Here's your coin. I've kept it in a cloth for safekeeping
Luk 19:21 because I was afraid of you. You are a hard man. You withdraw what you didn't deposit and harvest what you didn't plant.'
Luk 19:22 The king said to him, 'I will judge you by your own words, you evil servant! You knew, did you, that I was a hard man, and that I withdraw what I didn't deposit and harvest what I didn't plant?
Luk 19:23 Then why didn't you put my money in the bank? When I returned, I could have collected it with interest.'
Luk 19:24 "So the king told those standing nearby, 'Take the coin away from him and give it to the man who has the ten coins.'
Luk 19:25 They answered him, 'Sir, he already has ten coins!'
Luk 19:26 'I tell you, to everyone who has something, more will be given, but from the person who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away.
Luk 19:27 But as for these enemies of mine who didn't want me to be their king-bring them here and slaughter them in my presence!'"
Luk 19:30 "Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter, you will find a colt tied up that no one has ever sat on. Untie it, and bring it along.
Luk 19:31 If anyone asks you why you are untying it, say this: 'The Lord needs it.'"
Luk 19:40 "I tell you, if they were quiet, the stones would cry out!"
Luk 19:42 "If you had only known today what could have brought you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.
Luk 19:43 For the days will come when your enemies will build walls around you, surround you, and close you in on every side.
Luk 19:44 They will level you to the ground-you and your children within you. They will not leave one stone on another within you, because you didn't recognize the time when God came to help you."
Luk 19:46 "It is written, 'My house is to be called a house of prayer,' but you have turned it into a hideout for bandits!"
Luk 20:3 "I, too, will ask you a question. Tell me:
Luk 20:4 Was John's authority to baptize from heaven or from humans?"
Luk 20:8 "Then I won't tell you by what authority I am doing these things."
Luk 20:9 "A man planted a vineyard, leased it to tenant farmers, and went abroad for a long time.
Luk 20:10 At the right time he sent a servant to the farmers in order that they might give him his share of the produce of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him back empty-handed.
Luk 20:11 He sent another servant, and they beat him, too, treated him shamefully, and sent him back empty-handed.
Luk 20:12 Then he sent a third, and they wounded him and threw him out, too.
Luk 20:13 "Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What should I do? I'll send my son whom I love. Maybe they'll respect him.'
Luk 20:14 But when the farmers saw him, they talked it over among themselves and said, 'This is the heir. Let's kill him so that the inheritance will be ours!'
Luk 20:15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. Now what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
Luk 20:16 He will come and destroy those farmers and give the vineyard to others."
Luk 20:17 But Jesus looked at them and said, "What does this text mean: 'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone'?
Luk 20:18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush anyone on whom it falls."
Luk 20:24 "Show me a denarius. Whose face and name does it have?"
Luk 20:25 "Then give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
Luk 20:34 "Those who belong to this age marry and are married,
Luk 20:35 but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.
Luk 20:36 Nor can they die anymore, for they are like the angels and, since they share in the resurrection, are God's children.
Luk 20:37 Even Moses demonstrated in the story about the bush that the dead are raised, when he calls the Lord 'the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'
Luk 20:38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all people are alive to him."
Luk 20:41"How can people say that the Christ is David's son?
Luk 20:42 For David himself in the book of Psalms says, 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand,
Luk 20:43 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."'
Luk 20:44 So David calls him 'Lord.' Then how can he be his son?"
Luk 20:46 "Beware of the scribes! They like to walk around in long robes and love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
Luk 20:47 They devour widows' houses and say long prayers to cover it up. They will receive greater condemnation!"
Luk 21:3 "Truly I tell you, this destitute widow has dropped in more than all of them.
Luk 21:4 For all the others contributed to the offering out of their surplus, but she, in her poverty, dropped in everything she had to live on."
Luk 21:6 "As for these things that you see, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another that will not be torn down."
Luk 21:8 "Be careful that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name and say, 'I am he' and 'The time is near.' Don't go after them.
Luk 21:9 When you hear of wars and revolutions, never be alarmed. For these things must take place first, but the end won't come right away."
Luk 21:10 "Nation will rise up in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
Luk 21:11 There will be great earthquakes and famines and plagues in various places, and there will be fearful events and awful signs from heaven.
Luk 21:12 "But before all these things take place, people will arrest you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake.
Luk 21:13 It will give you an opportunity to testify.
Luk 21:14 So purpose in your hearts not to prepare your defense ahead of time,
Luk 21:15 for I will give you such speech and wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute it.
Luk 21:16 "You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death.
Luk 21:17 You will be hated continuously by everyone because of my name.
Luk 21:18 And yet not a hair on your head will be lost.
Luk 21:19 By your endurance you will win your souls."
Luk 21:20 "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then understand that its devastation is near.
Luk 21:21 Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains, those inside the city must leave it, and those in the countryside must not go into it.
Luk 21:22 For these are the days of vengeance when all that is written will be fulfilled.
Luk 21:23 "How terrible it will be for those women who are pregnant or who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath on this people.
Luk 21:24 They will fall by the edge of the sword and be carried off as captives among all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the gentiles until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled."
Luk 21:25 "There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and there will be distress on earth among the nations that are confused by the roaring of the sea and its waves.
Luk 21:26 People will faint with fear and apprehension because of the things that are to come on the world, for the powers of heaven will be shaken loose.
Luk 21:27 Then they will see 'the Son of Man coming in a cloud' with power and great glory.
Luk 21:28 "Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, for your deliverance is near."
Luk 21:29 "Look at the fig tree and all the trees.
Luk 21:30 As soon as they produce leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is already near.
Luk 21:31 In the same way, when you see these things taking place, you will know that the kingdom of God is near.
Luk 21:32 "Truly I tell you, this generation will not disappear until all these things take place.
Luk 21:33 Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear."
Luk 21:34 "Constantly be on your guard so that your hearts may not be loaded down with self-indulgence, drunkenness, and the worries of this life, or that day will take you by surprise
Luk 21:35 like a trap. For it will come on all who live on the face of the earth.
Luk 21:36 So be alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place and to take your stand in the presence of the Son of Man."
Luk 22:8 "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover meal."
Luk 22:10 "Just after you go into the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him into the house he enters
Luk 22:11 and say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks you, "Where is the room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?"'
Luk 22:12 Then he will show you a large upstairs room that is furnished. Get things ready for us there."
Luk 22:15 "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover meal with you before I suffer.
Luk 22:16 For I tell you, I will never again eat one until it finds its fulfillment in the kingdom of God."
Luk 22:17 "Take this and share it among yourselves.
Luk 22:18 For I tell you, from now on I will never drink the product of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."
Luk 22:19 "This is my body, which is given for you. Keep on doing this in memory of me."
Luk 22:20 "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, poured out for you.
Luk 22:21 Yet look! The hand of the man who is betraying me is with me on the table!
Luk 22:22 For the Son of Man is going away, just as it has been determined, but how terrible it will be for that man by whom he is betrayed!"
Luk 22:23 Then they began to discuss among themselves which one of them was going to do this.
Luk 22:25 "The kings of the gentiles lord it over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called benefactors.
Luk 22:26 But you are not to do so. On the contrary, the greatest among you should become like the youngest, and the one who leads should become like the one who serves.
Luk 22:27 For who is greater, the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? It is the one at the table, isn't it? But I am among you as one who serves.
Luk 22:28 "You are the ones who have always stood by me in my trials.
Luk 22:29 And I confer on you, just as my Father has conferred on me, a kingdom,
Luk 22:30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit down on thrones to govern the twelve tribes of Israel."
Luk 22:31 "Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has asked permission to sift all of you like wheat,
Luk 22:32 but I have prayed for you that your own faith may not fail. When you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers."
Luk 22:34 "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you deny three times that you know me."
Luk 22:35 When I sent you out without a wallet, traveling bag, or sandals, you didn't lack anything, did you?"
Luk 22:36 "But now the one who has a wallet must take it along, and his traveling bag, too. And the one who has no sword must sell his coat and buy one.
Luk 22:37 For I tell you, what has been written about me must be fulfilled: 'He was counted among the criminals.' Indeed, what is written about me must be fulfilled."
Luk 22:38 "Enough of that!"
Luk 22:40 "Keep on praying that you may not come into temptation."
Luk 22:42 "Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Yet not my will but yours be done."
Luk 22:46 "Why are you sleeping? Get up and keep on praying that you may not come into temptation."
Luk 22:48 "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"
Luk 22:51 "No more of this!"
Luk 22:52 "Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a bandit?
Luk 22:53 While I was with you day after day in the temple, you didn't lay a hand on me. But this is your hour, when darkness reigns!"
Luk 22:61 "Before a rooster crows today, you will deny me three times."
Luk 22:67 "If I tell you, you won't believe me,
Luk 22:68 and if I ask you a question, you won't answer me.
Luk 22:69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God."
Luk 22:70 "You say that I am."
Luk 23:3 "You say so."
Luk 23:28 "Women of Jerusalem, stop crying for me, but cry for yourselves and for your children.
Luk 23:29 For the days are surely coming when people will say, 'How blessed are the women who couldn't bear children and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!'
Luk 23:30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us!', and to the hills, 'Cover us up!'
Luk 23:31 For if they do this when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?"
Luk 23:34 "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they're doing."
Luk 23:43 "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise."
Luk 23:46 "Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit."
Luk 24:7 'the Son of Man must be handed over to sinful men, be crucified, and rise on the third day.'"
Luk 24:17 "What are you discussing w ith each other as you're walking along?"
Luk 24:19 "What things?"
Luk 24:25 "O how foolish you are and how slow of heart to believe everything the prophets said!
Luk 24:26 The Christ had to suffer these things and then enter his glory, didn't he?"
Luk 24:36 "Peace be with you."
Luk 24:38 "Why are you frightened, and why are doubts arising in your hearts?
Luk 24:39 Look at my hands and my feet, for it is I myself. Touch me and see, for a ghost doesn't have flesh and bones as you see that I have."
Luk 24:41 "Do you have anything here to eat?"
Luk 24:44 "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you-that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms had to be fulfilled."
Luk 24:46 "Thus it is written, that the Christ was to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day,
Luk 24:47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Luk 24:48 You are witnesses of these things.
Luk 24:49 I am sending on you what my Father promised. But stay here in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."
