Jesus answered them,

“Healthy people don’t need a doctor—

sick people do.

I have come to call 

not those who think they are righteous,

but those who know they are sinners

and need to repent.”

Luke 5:31-32

(Arizona)

“You are blessed because you believed

that the Lord would do what he said.”

“Oh,

how my soul praises the Lord.

How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!”

Luke 1:45-46

(The Grand Canyon)

But Jesus was silent and made no reply.

Then the high priest asked him,

“Are you the Messiah,

the Son of the Blessed One?”

Jesus said,

“I AM.

And you will see the Son of Man

seated in the place of power at God’s right hand

and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Mark 14:61-63

“…keep watch!

For you don’t know 

when the master of the household will return—

in the evening,

at midnight,

before dawn,

or at day break.

Don’t let him find you sleeping

when he arrives without warning.

I say to you what I say to everyone:

Watch for him!”

Mark 13:35-36

“Praise God!

Blessings on the one who comes

in the name of the LORD!

Blessings on the coming Kingdom

of our ancestor David!

Praise God in highest heaven!”

Mark 11:9-10

“Have mercy on us and help us,

if you can.”

“What do you mean,

‘If I can’?”

Jesus asked.

“Anything is possible if a person believes.”

The father instantly cried out,

“I do believe,

but help me overcome my unbelief!”

Mark 9:22-24

Suddenly,

the glory of the God of Israel

appeared from the east.

The sound of his coming was like the roar

of rushing waters,

and the whole landscape shone with his glory.

And the glory of the LORD

came into the Temple through the east gateway.

…and the glory of the LORD filled the Temple.

The LORD said to me,

“Son of man,

this is the place of my throne

and the place where I will rest my feet.

I will live here forever among the people of Israel.”

Ezekiel 43:2, 4-5, 7

“Why are you arguing about having no bread?
 
Don’t you know or understand even yet?
 
Are your hearts too hard to take it in?
  
‘You have eyes—can’t you see?
 
You have ears—can’t you hear?’

Don’t you remember anything at all?”

Mark 8:17-18

They were all terrified when they saw him.

But Jesus spoke to them at once. 

“Don’t be afraid,” 

he said. 

“Take courage! 

I am here!

Then he climbed into the boat, 

and the wind stopped. 

They were totally amazed, 

for they still didn’t understand the significance 

of the miracle of the loaves. 

Their hearts were too hard to take it in.

Mark 6:50-52

And the crowd began pleading with Jesus

to go away 

and leave them alone.

Mark 5:17
