He said to his disciples,

“The harvest is great, but the workers are few.

So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest;

ask him to send more workers into his fields.”

Matthew 9:37-38

…Jesus asked them,

“Do you believe I can make you see?”

“Yes, Lord,” they told him, “we do.”

Then he touched their eyes and said,

“Because of your faith, it will happen.”

Then their eyes were opened, and they could see!…

Matthew 9:28-30

…”Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.”

Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning

of this Scripture:

‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’

For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous,

but those who know they are sinners.”

Matthew 9:12-13

…I will prove to you that the Son of Man

has the authority on earth to forgive sins.”

Then Jesus turned to the paralyzed man and said,

“Stand up, pick up your mat, and go home!”

Matthew 9:6

…”Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”

Jesus responded,

“Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!”

Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves,

and suddenly there was a great calm.

Matthew 8:25-26

Anyone who listens to my teaching

and follows it is wise,

like a person who builds a house on solid rock.

Though the rain comes in torrents

and the floodwaters rise

and the winds beat against that house,

it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock.

But anyone who hears my teaching

and doesn’t obey it is foolish,

like a person who builds a house on sand.

When the rains and floods come

and the winds beat against that house,

it will collapse with a mighty crash.

Matthew 7:24-27

Beware of false prophets

who come disguised as harmless sheep

but are really vicious wolves.

You can identify them by their fruit,

that is, by the way they act.

Can you pick grapes from thorn bushes,

or figs from thistles?

Matthew 7:15-16

You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate.

The highway to hell is broad,

and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way.

But the gateway to life is very narrow

and the road is difficult,

and only a few ever find it.

Matthew 7:13-14

Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you.

This is the essence of all that is taught

in the law and the prophets.

Matthew 7:12

Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for.

Keep on seeking, and you will find.

Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks, receives.

Everyone who seeks, finds.

And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

Matthew 7:7-8
