Then, as they had been divinely warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their own country by another way.

It was he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, when he said, "Hark! Someone is shouting in the desert, 'Get the Lord's way ready! Make his paths straight!' "

Be glad and exult over it, for you will be richly rewarded in heaven, for that is the way they persecuted the prophets who went before you!

Your light must burn in that way among men so that they will see the good you do, and praise your Father in heaven.

Be quick and come to terms with your opponent while you are on the way to court with him, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you will be thrown into prison.

But your way of speaking must be 'Yes' or 'No.' Anything that goes beyond that comes from the evil one.

This, therefore, is the way you are to pray: 'Our Father in heaven, Your name be revered!

Then what did you go out there to see? A man luxuriously dressed? Men who dress in that way you find in the palaces of kings.

Then it goes and gets seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there, and in the end the man is worse off than he was before. That is the way it will be with this present wicked age."

and went to his own part of the country. And he taught the people in their synagogue in such a way that they were astonished, and said, "Where did he get this wisdom, and the power to do these wonders?

but the boat was by this time a long way from shore, struggling with the waves, for the wind was against them.

Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said to them, "I pity these people for they have been staying with me three days now and they have nothing left to eat, and I do not mean to send them away hungry, for they may give out on the way."

but I tell you, Elijah has come already, and they would not recognize him, but treated him just as they pleased. It is in just that way that the Son of Man is going to be treated by them!"

In just that way, it is the will of my Father in heaven that not a single one of these children be lost.

When Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve off by themselves, and said to them as they were on the way,

And most of the crowd spread their coats in his way, and others cut branches from the trees and scattered them before him.

For John came to you with a way of uprightness, and you would not believe him. The tax-collectors and prostitutes believed him, but even after seeing that, you would not change your minds and believe him!

Again he sent other slaves and more of them than he had sent at first, and they treated them in the same way.

So they sent their disciples to him with the Herodians, to say to him, "Master, we know that you tell the truth, and teach the way of God with sincerity, regardless of the consequences, for you are impartial.

In the same way the man who had received the two thousand made two thousand more.

And he went on a little way, and threw himself on his face, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass by me. Yet not as I please but as you do!"

Even the robbers who were crucified with him abused him in the same way.

While they were on their way, some of the guard went into the city and reported to the high priests all that had happened.

As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, "Here I send my messenger on before you; He will prepare your way;

Hark! Someone is shouting in the desert, 'Get the Lord's way ready, Make his paths straight,' "

He happened to be passing through the wheat fields on the Sabbath, and his disciples began to pick the heads of wheat as they made their way through.

Then he began again to teach by the seashore. And a crowd gathered around him so great that he got into a boat and sat in it, a little way from the shore, while all the people were on the land close to the water.

For the Pharisees and all the Jews observe the rules handed down from their ancestors, and will not eat until they have washed their hands in a particular way,

and they will not eat anything from the market without first purifying it by sprinkling it, and they have a number of other observances which have come down to them, in the way of washing cups, pitchers, and basins.

He left the neighborhood of Tyre again and went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, crossing the district of the Ten Towns.

And if I send them home hungry they will give out on the way, for some of them come from a distance."

Then Jesus and his disciples went away to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he questioned his disciples and said to them, "Who do people say that I am?"

And they left that place and made their way through Galilee, and he did not wish anyone to know it;

And they reached Capernaum. When he reached home, he asked them, "What was it that you were discussing on the way?"

But they made no answer, for on the way they had been discussing with one another which of them was the greatest.

As they went on their way up to Jerusalem, Jesus walked ahead of them, and they were in dismay, and those who still followed were afraid. And he took the Twelve aside again and began to tell them what was going to happen to him.

Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your faith has cured you." And he immediately regained his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

The high priests and the scribes heard of this, and they cast about for a way of destroying him, for they were afraid of him, for all the people were amazed at what he taught.

And they came up and said to him, "Master, we know that you tell the truth regardless of the consequences, for you are not guided by personal considerations, but teach the way of God with sincerity. Is it right to pay the poll tax to the emperor or not?

It was now two days before the festival of the Passover and of Unleavened Bread. And the high priests and scribes were casting about for a way to arrest him by stealth and put him to death,

And he went on a little way and threw himself on the ground and prayed that if it were possible he might be spared the hour of trial,

Afterward he showed himself in a different form to two of them as they were walking along, on their way into the country.

"And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, For you will go before the Lord to make his way ready,

To shine on men who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, And guide our feet into the way of peace."

as the book of the sermons of the prophet Isaiah says, "Hark! Someone is shouting in the desert, Get the Lord's way ready! Make his paths straight.

But he made his way through the midst of them and went on.

When it was day, he left the house and made his way to a lonely spot, and crowds of people went in search of him, and overtook him and tried to keep him from leaving them.

And as they could find no way to get him in, on account of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his mat through the tiles, among the people in front of Jesus.

Be glad when that happens, and leap for joy, for you will be richly rewarded in heaven, for that is the way their forefathers treated the prophets.

"Alas for you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is the way their forefathers treated the false prophets!

And if you help only those who help you, what merit is there in that? Even godless people act in that way.

When a great throng was gathering and people were coming to him from one town after another, he said in his figurative way,

Carry no purse nor wallet nor shoes, and do not stop to exchange civilities with anyone on the way.

Jesus replied, "A man was on his way down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers, and they stripped him and beat him and went off leaving him half dead.

Now a priest happened to be going that way, and when he saw him, he went by on the other side of the road.

But a Samaritan who was traveling that way came upon him, and when he saw him he pitied him,

The next day he took out a dollar and gave it to the innkeeper and said, 'Take care of him, and whatever more you spend I will refund to you on my way back.'

But he knew what they were thinking, and he said to them, "Any kingdom that is disunited is on the way to destruction, and one house falls after another.

That is the way with the man who lays up money for himself, and is not rich with God."

For when you are going before the magistrate with your opponent, do your best on the way to get rid of him, or he may hurry you off to the judge and the judge hand you over to the constable and the constable throw you into prison.

So he went about among the towns and villages, teaching and making his way toward Jerusalem.

In just that way, no one of you who does not say goodbye to all he has can be a disciple of mine.

I tell you, in just that way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinful person who repents, than over ninety-nine upright people who do not need any repentance.

In just that way, I tell you, there is joy among the angels of God over one sinful person who repents!"

And he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him, and pitied him, and ran and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

It happened that, on his way to Jerusalem, he passed through Samaria and Galilee.

for just as when the lightning flashes, it shines from one end of the sky to the other, that will be the way with the Son of Man.

So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree, to see him, for Jesus was coming that way.

With these words he went on ahead of them, on his way to Jerusalem.

but they could not find any way to do it, for all the people hung upon his words.

And they asked him, "Master, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and that you show no favor, but teach the way of God in sincerity.

And the high priests and the scribes were casting about for a way to put him to death, for they were afraid of the people.

For the Son of Man is going his way, as it has been decreed, but alas for the man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed!"

And he said to them, "What is all this that you are discussing with each other on your way?" They stopped sadly,

Then the Jews addressed him and said, "What sign have you to show us, for acting in this way?"

The wind blows wherever it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. That is the way with everyone who owes his birth to the Spirit."

The woman said to him, "Give me this water, sir, so that I may never be thirsty, nor have to come all this way to draw water."

While he was on the way, his slaves met him and told him that his boy was going to live.

Then Jesus took the loaves, and gave thanks, and distributed them among the people who were resting on the ground, and in the same way as much of the fish as they wanted.

It is impossible for the world to hate you, but it does hate me for testifying that its ways are wrong.

At that, the Jews picked up stones to throw at him, but he disappeared and made his way out of the Temple.

You know the way to the place where I am going."

Thomas said to him, "Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?"

Jesus said to him, "I am Way and Truth and Life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

When he said this, one of the attendants who stood near struck him and said, "Is that the way you answer the high priest?"

This made Pilate try to find a way to let him go, but the Jews shouted, "If you let him go, you are no friend of the emperor's! Anyone who calls himself a king utters treason against the emperor!"

So they took Jesus' body, and wrapped it with the spices in bandages, in the Jewish way of preparing bodies for burial.

After this Jesus again showed himself to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and he did so in this way.

He had shown himself alive to them after he had suffered, in many convincing ways, appearing to them through forty days, and telling them about the Kingdom of God.

and said to them, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up into the sky? This very Jesus who has been caught up from you into heaven will come in just the way that you have seen him go up to heaven."

You have made the ways of life known to me, And you will fill me with joy in your presence.'

Peter and John were on their way up to the Temple for the three o'clock hour of prayer,

when a man who had been lame from his birth was carried by. He used to be placed every day at what was known as the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, to beg from the people on their way into the Temple,

it was in this way that God fulfilled what he by all the prophets foretold that his Christ must suffer.

As they were talking in this way to the people, the high priests, the commander of the Temple, and the Sadducees came up to them,

But after further threats they let them go, as they could find no way to punish them, on account of the people, who were all giving honor to God for what had happened,

After they had given their testimony and delivered the Lord's message, they went back to Jerusalem, telling the good news in many Samaritan villages on the way.

and was on his way home. He was sitting in his car, reading the prophet Isaiah.

while Philip found himself at Ashdod and went on telling the good news in all the towns all the way to Caesarea.
