But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!"

So he stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing. Be clean!" And immediately the leprosy left him.

So Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof.

For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, ‘Go,' and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this,' and he does it."

This is the one about whom it is written, ‘ Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you .'

Once when Jesus was praying by himself, and his disciples were nearby, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"

Then he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God."

Go! I am sending you out like lambs surrounded by wolves.

I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is finished!

But he said to them, "Go and tell that fox, ‘Look, I am casting out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will complete my work.

Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going out to examine them. Please excuse me.'

But when he came to his senses he said, ‘How many of my father's hired workers have food enough to spare, but here I am dying from hunger!

I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired workers."'

Then his son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

I know what to do so that when I am put out of management, people will welcome me into their homes.'

So he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in anguish in this fire.'

The Pharisee stood and prayed about himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people: extortionists, unrighteous people, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.

The tax collector, however, stood far off and would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, be merciful to me, sinner that I am!'

But Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, half of my possessions I now give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone of anything, I am paying back four times as much!"

He said, "Watch out that you are not misled. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,' and, ‘The time is near.' Do not follow them!
