Mark 8:32

casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

“Come near to me and hear this: “From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it happened, I was there.” Now the Lord Yahweh has sent me with his Spirit.

Then I said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! They say of me, ‘Isn’t he a speaker of parables?’ ”

Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will solve my riddle on the harp.

I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,

I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, Yahweh, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.

Will you hold yourself back for these things, Yahweh? Will you keep silent and punish us very severely?

What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.

Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to them,

Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you.”

In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.

He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?

I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”

Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.

Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”

For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”

Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.

Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”

They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time comes that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.

“I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.

His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech.

For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.

You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly.”

Samson said to them, “Let me tell you a riddle now. If you can tell me the answer within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing;

I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the assembly, I will praise you.

I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, Yahweh, you know.

Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Don’t reject us forever.

She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words:

Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entry doors, she cries aloud:

She has sent out her maidens. She cries from the highest places of the city:

Don’t curse the king, no, not in your thoughts; and don’t curse the rich in your bedroom: for a bird of the sky may carry your voice, and that which has wings may tell the matter.

Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory. Where are your zeal and your mighty acts? The yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.

“Stand in the gate of Yahweh’s house, and proclaim this word there, and say, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, all you of Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship Yahweh.’ ”

“Yahweh says: ‘Stand in the court of Yahweh’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in Yahweh’s house, all the words that I command you to speak to them. Don’t omit a word.

When evening had come, his disciples came to him, saying, “This place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.”

Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”

Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

If therefore they tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe it.

Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.

He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are dying?”

Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages, and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.”

They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.

He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.

They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him,

Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

They came to him, and awoke him, saying, “Master, master, we are dying!” He awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it was calm.

But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me.”

He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.

Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.

Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.

I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world.”

The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.

Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”

Behold, the time is coming, yes, and has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.

Paul, as was his custom, went in to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner.

Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,

But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “See now, the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak good.”

When his friends heard it, they went out to seize him; for they said, “He is insane.”

But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
