He said to them, "How many loaves of bread do you have here? Go and see." When they knew, they said, "Five loaves of bread and two fish."

The proud religious law-keepers came and began to ask Him for something special to see from heaven. They wanted to trap Jesus.

He breathed deep within and said, "Why do the people of this day look for something special to see? For sure, I tell you, the people of this day will have nothing special to see from heaven."

You have eyes, do you not see? You have ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember?

He took the blind man by the hand out of town. Then He spit on the eyes of the blind man and put His hands on him. He asked, "Do you see anything?"

The blind man looked up and said, "I see some men. They look like trees, walking."

Jesus said to them, "For sure I tell you, some standing here will not die until they see the holy nation of God come with power!"

Jesus said to him, "What do you want Me to do for you?" The blind man said to Him, "Lord, I want to see!"

Jesus said, "Go! Your faith has healed you." At once he could see and he followed Jesus down the road.

Along the road He saw a fig tree with leaves on it. He went over to see if it had any fruit. He saw nothing but leaves. It was not the right time for figs.

Peter remembered what had happened the day before and said to Jesus, "Teacher, see! The fig tree which You spoke to has dried up!"

Jesus said, "Do you see these great buildings? All these stones will be thrown down. Not one will be left standing on another."

Jesus sat down on the Mount of Olives at a place where He could see the house of God. Peter and James and John and Andrew came to Him. They asked without anyone else hearing,

"You will see a very sinful man-made god standing in the house of God where it has no right to stand. Then those in the country of Judea should run to the mountains. It was spoken of by the early preacher Daniel. The one who reads this should understand.

"If anyone says to you, ‘See! Here is the Christ,' or, ‘There He is!' do not believe it.

Some will come who will say they are Christ. False preachers will come. These people will do special things for people to see. They will do surprising things, so that if it can be, God's people will be led to believe something wrong.

See! I have told you about these things before they happen.

Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and shining-greatness.

In the same way, when you see all these things happen, you know the Son of Man is near. He is even at the door.

Get up and let us go. See! The man who will hand Me over to the head religious leader is near."
