See my servant, the man of my selection, my loved one in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him, and he will make my decision clear to the Gentiles.

And one said to him, See, your mother and your brothers are outside, desiring to have talk with you.

And he put out his hand to his disciples and said, See, my mother and my brothers!

For this reason I put things into the form of stories; because they see without seeing, and give ear without hearing, and the sense is not clear to them.

And for them the words of Isaiah have come true, Though you give ear, you will not get knowledge; and seeing, you will see, but the sense will not be clear to you:

For the heart of this people has become fat and their ears are slow in hearing and their eyes are shut; for fear that they might see with their eyes and give hearing with their ears and become wise in their hearts and be turned again to me, so that I might make them well.

But a blessing be on your eyes, because they see; and on your ears, because they are open.

For truly, I say to you that prophets and upright men had a desire to see the things which you see, and saw them not; and to have knowledge of the words which have come to your ears, and they had it not.

How is it that you do not see that I was not talking to you about bread, but about keeping away from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

Truly I say to you, There are some of those here who will not have a taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

But, so that we may not be a cause of trouble to them, go to the sea, and let down a hook, and take the first fish which comes up; and in his mouth you will see a bit of money: take that, and give it to them for me and you.

Let it not seem to you that one of these little ones is of no value; for I say to you that in heaven their angels see at all times the face of my Father in heaven.

Then Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything and have come after you; what then will we have?

See, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be given into the hands of the chief priests and scribes; and they will give orders for him to be put to death,

But Jesus said to them, You see that the rulers of the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.
