(Translation from NRSV with a few modifications for a more litteral meaning)

1: 13But the angel said (legō) to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John.
1: 18Zechariah said (legō) to the angel, "How will I know that this is so? For I am an old man, and my wife is getting on in years."
1: 19And answering the angel said (legō), "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
1: 24After those days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she remained in seclusion. She said (legō),

1: 35The angel said (legō) to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God.
1: 38Then Mary said (legō), "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word." Then the angel departed from her.
1: 42and exclaimed with a loud cry and said (legō), "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

1: 60But his mother said (legō), "No; he is to be called John."
1: 61They said (legō) to her, "None of your relatives has this name."
1: 63He asked for a writing tablet and wrote saying (legō), "His name is John." And all of them were amazed.
1: 66All who heard them pondered them and said (legō), "What then will this child become?" For, indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him.
1: 67Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke this prophecy saying (legō):

2: 48When his parents saw him they were astonished; and his mother said (legō) to him, "Child, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been searching for you in great anxiety."
2: 49He said (legō) to them, "Why were you searching for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?"
3: 7John said (legō) to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
3: 8Bear fruits worthy of repentance. Do not begin to say (legō) to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our ancestor'; for I tell (legō) you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
3: 10And the crowds asked him saying (legō), "What then should we do?"
3: 11In reply he said (legō) to them, "Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise."
3: 12Even tax collectors came to be baptized, and they said (legō) to him, "Teacher, what should we do?"
3: 13He said (legō) to them, "Collect no more than the amount prescribed for you."
3: 14Soldiers also asked him saying (legō), "And we, what should we do?" He said (legō) to them, "Do not extort money from anyone by threats or false accusation, and be satisfied with your wages."
3: 16John answered all of them by saying (legō), "I baptize you with water; but one who is more powerful than I is coming; I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
4: 3The devil said (legō) to him, "If you are the Son of God, say (legō) to this stone to become a loaf of bread."
4: 6And the devil said (legō) to him, "To you I will give their glory and all this authority; for it has been given over to me, and I give it to anyone I please.
4: 8Jesus answered him saying (legō), "It is written, 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.'"
4: 9Then the devil took him to Jerusalem, and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying (legō) to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here,
4: 12And answering Jesus said (legō) him, "It is said (legō), 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'"
4: 21Then he began to say (legō) to them, "Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."
4: 22All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. They said (legō), "Is not this Joseph's son?"
4: 23He said (legō) to them, "Doubtless you will say (legō) to me this proverb, 'Doctor, cure yourself!' And all the things that we have heard you did at Capernaum, do it in your own hometown.'"
4: 24And he said (legō), "Truly I tell (legō) you, no prophet is accepted in the prophet's hometown.
4: 25In truth I tell (legō) you, there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a severe famine over all the land;
4: 35But Jesus rebuked him, saying (legō), "Be silent, and come out of him!" When the demon had thrown him down before them, he came out of him without having done him any harm.
4: 36They were all amazed and kept saying (legō) to one another, "What kind of utterance is this? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and out they come!"
4: 41Demons also came out of many, shouting and saying (legō), "You are the Son of God!" But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Messiah.
4: 43But he said (legō) to them, "I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also; for I was sent for this purpose."
5: 4When he had finished speaking, he said (legō) to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch."
5: 5And answering Simon said (legō), "Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet on your word, I will let down the nets."
5: 8But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying (legō), "Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!"
5: 10and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said (legō) to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people."
5: 12Once, when he was in one of the cities, there was a man covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he bowed with his face to the ground and begged him saying (legō), "Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean."
5: 13Then Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said (legō), "I do choose. Be made clean." Immediately the leprosy left him.
5: 14And he ordered him to tell (legō) no one. "Go, and show yourself to the priest, and, as Moses commanded, make an offering for your cleansing, for a testimony to them."
5: 20When he saw their faith, he said (legō), "Friend, your sins are forgiven you."
5: 21Then the scribes and the Pharisees began to question saying (legō), "Who is this who is speaking blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
5: 22When Jesus perceived their questionings, he answered them saying (legō), "Why do you raise such questions in your hearts?
5: 23Which is easier, to say (legō), 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say (legō), 'Stand up and walk'?
5: 24But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" - he said (legō) to the one who was paralyzed - "I say (legō) to you, stand up and take your bed and go to your home."
5: 26Amazement seized all of them, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying (legō), "We have seen strange things today."
5: 27After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth; and he said (legō) to him, "Follow me."
5: 30The Pharisees and their scribes were complaining to his disciples, saying (legō), "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"
5: 31And answering Jesus said (legō), "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick;
5: 33Then they said (legō) to him, "John's disciples, like the disciples of the Pharisees, frequently fast and pray, but your disciples eat and drink."
5: 34Jesus said (legō) to them, "You cannot make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you?
5: 36He also told (legō) them a parable: "No one tears a piece from a new garment and sews it on an old garment; otherwise the new will be torn, and the piece from the new will not match the old.
5: 39And no one after drinking old wine desires new wine, but says (legō), 'The old is good.'"
6: 2But some of the Pharisees said (legō), "Why are you doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?"
6: 3And answering them Jesus said (legō), "Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
6: 5Then he said (legō) to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath."
6: 8Even though he knew what they were thinking, he said (legō) to the man who had the withered hand, "Come and stand here." He got up and stood there.
6: 9Then Jesus said (legō) to them, "I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to destroy it?"
6: 10After looking around at all of them, he said (legō) to him, "Stretch out your hand." He did so, and his hand was restored.
6: 20Then he looked up at his disciples and said (legō): "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
6: 26"Woe to you when all say (legō) good things of you, for that is what their ancestors did to the false prophets.
6: 27"But I say (legō) to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
6: 39He also told (legō) them a parable: "Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit?
6: 42Or how can you say (legō) to your neighbor, 'Friend, let me take out the speck in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor's eye.
6: 46"Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I tell (legō) you?
7: 4When they came to Jesus, they appealed to him earnestly, saying (legō), "He is worthy of having you do this for him,
7: 6And Jesus went with them, but when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say (legō) to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof;
7: 7therefore I did not presume to come to you. But only say (legō) the word, and let my servant be healed.
7: 8For I also am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say (legō) to one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this,' and the slave does it."
7: 9When Jesus heard this he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, he said (legō), "I tell (legō) you, not even in Israel have I found such faith."
7: 13When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said (legō) to her, "Do not weep."
7: 14Then he came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said (legō), "Young man, I say (legō) to you, rise!"
7: 16Fear seized all of them; and they glorified God, saying (legō), "A great prophet has risen among us!" and "God has looked favorably on his people!"
7: 19and sent them to the Lord saying (legō), "Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?"
7: 20When the men had come to him, they said (legō), "John the Baptist has sent us to you saying (legō), 'Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?'"
7: 22And answering he said (legō) to them, "Go and inform John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news brought to them.
7: 24When John's messengers had gone, Jesus began to say (legō) to the crowds about John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed shaken by the wind?
7: 26What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell (legō) you, and more than a prophet.
7: 28I tell (legō) you, among those born of women no one is greater than John; yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."
7: 32They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another saying (legō), 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not weep.'
7: 33For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say (legō), 'He has a demon';
7: 34the Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say (legō), 'Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'
7: 39Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said (legō) to himself saying (legō), "If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what kind of woman this is who is touching him - that she is a sinner."
7: 40Jesus spoke up and said (legō) to him, "Simon, I have something to say (legō) to you." "Teacher," he replied, "speak."
7: 43Answering Simon said (legō), "I suppose the one for whom he canceled the greater debt." And Jesus said (legō) to him, "You have judged rightly."
7: 47Therefore, I tell (legō) you, her sins, which were many, have been forgiven; hence she has shown great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little."
7: 48Then he said (legō) to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
7: 49But those who were at the table with him began to say (legō) among themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"
7: 50And he said (legō) to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
8: 4When a great crowd gathered and people from town after town came to him, he said (legō) in a parable:
8: 8Some fell into good soil, and when it grew, it produced a hundredfold." As he said (legō) this, he called out, "Let anyone with ears to hear listen!"
8: 10He said (legō), "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but to others I speak in parables, so that 'looking they may not perceive, and listening they may not understand.'
8: 21But answering he said (legō) to them, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it."
8: 22One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said (legō) to them, "Let us go across to the other side of the lake." So they put out,
8: 24They went to him and woke him up, saying (legō), "Master, Master, we are perishing!" And he woke up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; they ceased, and there was a calm.
8: 25He said (legō) to them, "Where is your faith?" They were afraid and amazed, and said (legō) to one another, "Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?"
8: 28When he saw Jesus, he fell down before him and shouted at the top of his voice saying (legō), "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me"
8: 30Jesus then asked him, "What is your name?" He said (legō), "Legion"; for many demons had entered him.
8: 38The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying (legō),
8: 45Then Jesus said (legō), "Who touched me?" When all denied it, Peter said (legō), "Master, the crowds surround you and press in on you."
8: 46But Jesus said (legō), "Someone touched me; for I noticed that power had gone out from me."
8: 48He said (legō) to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace."
8: 49While he was still speaking, someone came from the leader's house to say (legō), "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer."
8: 52They were all weeping and wailing for her; but he said (legō), "Do not weep; for she is not dead but sleeping."
8: 54But he took her by the hand and called out saying (legō), "Child, get up!"
8: 56Her parents were astounded; but he ordered them to tell (legō) no one what had happened.
9: 3He said (legō) to them, "Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money - not even an extra tunic.
9: 7Now Herod the ruler heard about all that had taken place, and he was perplexed, because it was said (legō) by some that John had been raised from the dead,
9: 9Herod said (legō), "John I beheaded; but who is this about whom I hear such things?" And he tried to see him.
9: 12The day was drawing to a close, and the twelve came to him and said (legō), "Send the crowd away, so that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside, to lodge and get provisions; for we are here in a deserted place."
9: 13But he said (legō) to them, "You give them something to eat." They said (legō), "We have no more than five loaves and two fish - unless we are to go and buy food for all these people."
9: 14For there were about five thousand men. And he said (legō) to his disciples, "Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each."
9: 18Once when Jesus was praying alone, with only the disciples near him, he said (legō) to them, "Who do the crowds say (legō) that I am?"
9: 19Answering they said (legō), "John the Baptist; but others, Elijah; and still others, that one of the ancient prophets has arisen."
9: 20He said (legō) to them, "But who do you say (legō) that I am?" Answering Peter said (legō), "The Messiah of God."
9: 21He sternly ordered and commanded them not to tell (legō) anyone,
9: 22saying (legō), "The Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised."
9: 23Then he said (legō) to them all, "If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.
9: 27But truly I tell (legō) you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God."
9: 31They appeared in glory and were speaking (legō) of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
9: 33Just as they were leaving him, Peter said (legō) to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" - not knowing what he said (legō).
9: 34While he was saying (legō) this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were terrified as they entered the cloud.
9: 35Then from the cloud came a voice that said (legō), "This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!"
9: 38Just then a man from the crowd shouted saying (legō), "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son; he is my only child.
9: 41Answering Jesus said (legō), "You faithless and perverse generation, how much longer must I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here."
9: 43And all were astounded at the greatness of God. While everyone was amazed at all that he was doing, he said (legō) to his disciples,
9: 48and said (legō) to them, "Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me; for the least among all of you is the greatest."
9: 49Answering John said (legō), "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not follow with us."
9: 50But Jesus said (legō) to him, "Do not stop him; for whoever is not against you is for you."
9: 54When his disciples James and John saw it, they said (legō), "Lord, do you want us to say (legō) to fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"
9: 57As they were going along the road, someone said (legō) to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
9: 58And Jesus said (legō) to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."
9: 59To another he said (legō), "Follow me." But he said (legō), "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."
9: 60But Jesus said (legō) to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
9: 61Another said (legō), "I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say (legō) farewell to those at my home."
9: 62Jesus said (legō) to him, "No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."
10: 2He said (legō) to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
10: 5Whatever house you enter, first say (legō), 'Peace to this house!'
10: 9cure the sick who are there, and say (legō) to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'
10: 10But whenever you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say (legō),
10: 12I tell (legō) you, on that day it will be more tolerable for Sodom than for that town.
10: 17The seventy returned with joy, saying (legō), "Lord, in your name even the demons submit to us!"
10: 18He said (legō) to them, "I watched Satan fall from heaven like a flash of lightning.
10: 21At that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said (legō), "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.
10: 23Then turning to the disciples, Jesus said (legō) to them privately, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!
10: 24For I tell (legō) you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it."
10: 25Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he said (legō), "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
10: 26He said (legō) to him, "What is written in the law? What do you read there?"
10: 27Answering he said (legō), "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."
10: 28And he said (legō) to him, "You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live."
10: 29But wanting to justify himself, he said (legō) to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
10: 30Replying Jesus said (legō), "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.
10: 35The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said (legō), 'Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.'
10: 37He said (legō), "The one who showed him mercy." Jesus said (legō) to him, "Go and do likewise."
10: 40But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and said (legō), "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell (legō) her then to help me."
10: 41But answering the Lord said (legō) to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things;
11: 1He was praying in a certain place, and after he had finished, one of his disciples said (legō) to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples."
11: 2He said (legō) to them, "When you pray, say (legō): Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.
11: 5And he said (legō) to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say (legō) to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread;
11: 7And answering from within he said (legō), 'Do not bother me; the door has already been locked, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.'
11: 8I tell (legō) you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, at least because of his persistence he will get up and give him whatever he needs.
11: 9"So I say (legō) to you, Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
11: 15But some of them said (legō), "He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons."
11: 17But he knew what they were thinking and said (legō) to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself becomes a desert, and house falls on house.
11: 18If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? - for you say (legō) that I cast out the demons by Beelzebul.
11: 24"When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it wanders through waterless regions looking for a resting place, but not finding any, it says (legō), 'I will return to my house from which I came.'
11: 27While he was saying (legō) this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said (legō) to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you!"
11: 28But he said (legō), "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it!"
11: 29When the crowds were increasing, he began to say (legō), "This generation is an evil generation; it asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.
11: 39Then the Lord said (legō) to him, "Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.
11: 45One of the lawyers answering say (legō) to him, "Teacher, when you say (legō) these things, you insult us too."
11: 46And he said (legō), "Woe also to you lawyers! For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not lift a finger to ease them.
11: 49Therefore also the Wisdom of God said (legō), 'I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,'
11: 51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell (legō) you, it will be charged against this generation.
12: 1Meanwhile, when the crowd gathered by the thousands, so that they trampled on one another, he began to say (legō) first to his disciples, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, that is, their hypocrisy.
12: 3Therefore whatever you have said (legō) in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed from the housetops.
12: 4"I tell (legō) you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that can do nothing more.
12: 5But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell (legō) you, fear him!
12: 8"And I tell (legō) you, everyone who acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God;
12: 10And everyone who will say (legō) a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
12: 11When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not worry about how you are to defend yourselves or what you are to say (legō);
12: 12for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that very hour what you ought to say (legō)."
12: 13Someone in the crowd said (legō) to him, "Teacher, tell (legō) my brother to divide the family inheritance with me."
12: 14But he said (legō) to him, "Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?"
12: 15And he said (legō) to them, "Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions."
12: 16Then he said (legō) to them a parable saying (legō): "The land of a rich man produced abundantly.
12: 17And he thought to himself saying (legō), 'What should I do, for I have no place to store my crops?'
12: 18Then he said (legō), 'I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
12: 19And I will say (legō) to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.'
12: 20But God said (legō) to him, 'You fool! This very night your life is being demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?'
12: 22He said (legō) to his disciples, "Therefore I tell (legō) you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.
12: 27Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell (legō) you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.
12: 37Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes; truly I tell (legō) you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down to eat, and he will come and serve them.
12: 41Peter said (legō), "Lord, are you saying (legō) this parable for us or for everyone?"
12: 42And the Lord said (legō), "Who then is the faithful and prudent manager whom his master will put in charge of his slaves, to give them their allowance of food at the proper time?
12: 44Truly I tell (legō) you, he will put that one in charge of all his possessions.
12: 45But if that slave says (legō) to himself, 'My master is delayed in coming,' and if he begins to beat the other slaves, men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk,
12: 51Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell (legō) you, but rather division!
12: 54He also said (legō) to the crowds, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say (legō), 'It is going to rain'; and so it happens.
12: 55And when you see the south wind blowing, you say (legō), 'There will be scorching heat'; and it happens.
12: 59I tell (legō) you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last penny."
13: 2And answering he said (legō) to them, "Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were worse sinners than all other Galileans?
13: 3No, I tell (legō) you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
13: 5No, I tell (legō) you; but unless you repent, you will all perish just as they did."
13: 6Then he told (legō) this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.
13: 7So he said (legō) to the gardener, 'See here! For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and still I find none. Cut it down! Why should it be wasting the soil?'
13: 8Answering he says (legō) to him, 'Sir, let it alone for one more year, until I dig around it and put manure on it.
13: 12When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said (legō), "Woman, you are set free from your ailment."
13: 14But the leader of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had cured on the sabbath, kept saying (legō) to the crowd, "There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be cured, and not on the sabbath day."
13: 15But the Lord answered him and said (legō), "You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger, and lead it away to give it water?
13: 17When he said (legō) this, all his opponents were put to shame; and the entire crowd was rejoicing at all the wonderful things that he was doing.
13: 18He said (legō) therefore, "What is the kingdom of God like? And to what should I compare it?
13: 20And again he said (legō), "To what should I compare the kingdom of God?
13: 23Someone said (legō) to him, "Lord, will only a few be saved?" He said (legō) to them,
13: 24"Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell (legō) you, will try to enter and will not be able.
13: 25When once the owner of the house has got up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying (legō), 'Lord, open to us,' then in reply he will say (legō) to you, 'I do not know where you come from.'
13: 26Then you will begin to say (legō), 'We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.'
13: 27But he will say (legō) saying (legō) to you, 'I do not know where you come from; go away from me, all you evildoers!'
13: 31At that very hour some Pharisees came and said (legō) to him, "Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you."
13: 32He said (legō) to them, "Go and tell (legō) that fox for me, 'Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work.
13: 35See, your house is left to you. And I tell (legō) you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say (legō), 'Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
14: 3And answering Jesus said (legō) the lawyers and Pharisees saying (legō), "Is it lawful to cure people on the sabbath, or not?"
14: 5Then he said (legō) to them, "If one of you has a child or an ox that has fallen into a well, will you not immediately pull it out on a sabbath day?"
14: 7When he noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, he told (legō) them a parable saying (legō).
14: 9and the host who invited both of you may come and say (legō) to you, 'Give this person your place,' and then in disgrace you would start to take the lowest place.
14: 10But when you are invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say (legō) to you, 'Friend, move up higher'; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
14: 12He said (legō) also to the one who had invited him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid.
14: 15One of the dinner guests, on hearing this, said (legō) to him, "Blessed is anyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!"
14: 16Then Jesus said (legō) to him, "Someone gave a great dinner and invited many.
14: 17At the time for the dinner he sent his slave to say (legō) to those who had been invited, 'Come; for everything is ready now.'
14: 18But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said (legō) to him, 'I have bought a piece of land, and I must go out and see it; please accept my regrets.'
14: 19Another said (legō), 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out; please accept my regrets.'
14: 20Another said (legō), 'I have just been married, and therefore I cannot come.'
14: 21So the slave returned and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said (legō) to his slave, 'Go out at once into the streets and lanes of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.'
14: 22And the slave said (legō), 'Sir, what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.'
14: 23Then the master said (legō) to the slave, 'Go out into the roads and lanes, and compel people to come in, so that my house may be filled.
14: 24For I tell (legō) you, none of those who were invited will taste my dinner.'"
14: 25Now large crowds were traveling with him; and he turned and said (legō) to them,
14: 30saying (legō), 'This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.'
15: 2And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying (legō), "This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them."
15: 3So he told (legō) them this parable saying (legō):
15: 6And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying (legō) to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.'
15: 7Just so, I tell (legō) you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
15: 9When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying (legō), 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.'
15: 10Just so, I tell (legō) you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
15: 11Then Jesus said (legō), "There was a man who had two sons.
15: 12The younger of them said (legō) to his father, 'Father, give me the share of the property that will belong to me.' So he divided his property between them.
15: 18I will get up and go to my father, and I will say (legō) to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you;
15: 21Then the son said (legō) to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
15: 22But the father said (legō) to his slaves, 'Quickly, bring out a robe - the best one - and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
15: 27He said (legō) to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has got him back safe and sound.'
15: 29But answering he said (legō) to his father, 'Listen! For all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends.
15: 31Then the father said (legō) to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
16: 1Then Jesus said (legō) to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was squandering his property.
16: 2So he summoned him and said (legō) to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give me an accounting of your management, because you cannot be my manager any longer.'
16: 3Then the manager said (legō) to himself, 'What will I do, now that my master is taking the position away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
16: 5So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he was saying (legō) to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?'
16: 6He said (legō), 'A hundred jugs of olive oil.' He said (legō) to him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifty.'
16: 7Then he said (legō) to another, 'And how much do you owe?' He said (legō), 'A hundred containers of wheat.' He said (legō) to him, 'Take your bill and make it eighty.'
16: 9And I tell (legō) you, make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes.
16: 15So he said (legō) to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of others; but God knows your hearts; for what is prized by human beings is an abomination in the sight of God.
16: 24Calling out he said (legō), 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in agony in these flames.'
16: 25But Abraham said (legō), 'Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.
16: 27He said (legō), 'Then, father, I beg you to send him to my father's house
16: 29Abraham says (legō), 'They have Moses and the prophets; they should listen to them.'
16: 30He said (legō), 'No, father Abraham; but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
16: 31He said (legō) to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'"
17: 1Jesus said (legō) to his disciples, "Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to anyone by whom they come!
17: 4And if the same person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you seven times and says (legō), 'I repent,' you must forgive."
17: 5The apostles said (legō) to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"
17: 6The Lord said (legō), "If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say (legō) to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.
17: 7"Who among you would say (legō) to your slave who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, 'Come here at once and take your place at the table'?
17: 8Would you not rather say (legō) to him, 'Prepare supper for me, put on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink; later you may eat and drink'?
17: 10So you also, when you have done all that you were ordered to do, say (legō), 'We are worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!'"
17: 13they called out, saying (legō), "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
17: 14When he saw them, he said (legō) to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were made clean.
17: 17Then answering Jesus said (legō), "Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they?
17: 19Then he said (legō) to him, "Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well."
17: 20Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, and he answered and said (legō), "The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed;
17: 21nor will they say (legō), 'Look, here it is!' or 'There it is!' For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among you."
17: 22Then he said (legō) to the disciples, "The days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
17: 23They will say (legō) to you, 'Look there!' or 'Look here!' Do not go, do not set off in pursuit.
17: 34I tell (legō) you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other left.
17: 37Then answering they said (legō) to him, "Where, Lord?" He said (legō) to them, "Where the corpse is, there the vultures will gather."
18: 1Then Jesus told (legō) them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart.
18: 2He said (legō), "In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people.
18: 3In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him and saying (legō), 'Grant me justice against my opponent.'
18: 4For a while he refused; but later he said (legō) to himself, 'Though I have no fear of God and no respect for anyone,
18: 6And the Lord said (legō), "Listen to what the unjust judge says (legō).
18: 8I tell (legō) you, he will quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"
18: 9He also told (legō) this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and regarded others with contempt:
18: 13But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even look up to heaven, but was beating his breast and saying (legō), 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!'
18: 14I tell (legō) you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted."
18: 16But Jesus called for them and said (legō), "Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.
18: 17Truly I tell (legō) you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it."
18: 18A certain ruler asked him saying (legō), "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
18: 19Jesus said (legō) to him, "Why do you say (legō) me good? No one is good but God alone.
18: 21He said (legō), "I have kept all these since my youth."
18: 22When Jesus heard this, he said (legō) to him, "There is still one thing lacking. Sell all that you own and distribute the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me."
18: 24Jesus looked at him and said (legō), "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!
18: 26Those who heard it said (legō), "Then who can be saved?"
18: 27He said (legō), "What is impossible for mortals is possible for God."
18: 28Then Peter said (legō), "Look, we have left our homes and followed you."
18: 29And he said (legō) to them, "Truly I tell (legō) you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
18: 31Then he took the twelve aside and said (legō) to them, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished.
18: 34But they understood nothing about all these things; in fact, what these words were hidden from them, and they did not grasp what was said (legō).
18: 38Then he shouted saying (legō), "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
18: 41"What do you want me to do for you?" He said (legō), "Lord, let me see again."
18: 42Jesus said (legō) to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has saved you."
19: 5When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said (legō) to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today."
19: 7All who saw it began to grumble and said (legō), "He has gone to be the guest of one who is a sinner."
19: 8Zacchaeus stood there and said (legō) to the Lord, "Look, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much."
19: 9Then Jesus said (legō) to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham.
19: 11As they were listening to this, he went on to tell (legō) a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately.
19: 12So he said (legō), "A nobleman went to a distant country to get royal power for himself and then return.
19: 13He summoned ten of his slaves, and gave them ten pounds, and said (legō) to them, 'Do business with these until I come back.'
19: 14But the citizens of his country hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying (legō), 'We do not want this man to rule over us.'
19: 15When he returned, having received royal power, he said (legō) to these slaves, to whom he had given the money, to be summoned so that he might find out what they had gained by trading.
19: 16The first came forward and said (legō), 'Lord, your pound has made ten more pounds.'
19: 17He said (legō) to him, 'Well done, good slave! Because you have been trustworthy in a very small thing, take charge of ten cities.'
19: 18Then the second came, saying (legō), 'Lord, your pound has made five pounds.'
19: 19He said (legō) to him, 'And you, rule over five cities.'
19: 20Then the other came, saying (legō), 'Lord, here is your pound. I wrapped it up in a piece of cloth,
19: 22He said (legō) to him, 'I will judge you by your own words, you wicked slave! You knew, did you, that I was a harsh man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?
19: 24He said (legō) to the bystanders, 'Take the pound from him and give it to the one who has ten pounds.'
19: 25(And they said (legō) to him, 'Lord, he has ten pounds!')
19: 26'I tell (legō) you, to all those who have, more will be given; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.
19: 28After he had said (legō) this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
19: 30saying (legō), "Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
19: 31If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' just say (legō) this, 'The Lord needs it.'"
19: 32So those who were sent departed and found it as he had told (legō) them.
19: 33As they were untying the colt, its owners said (legō) to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
19: 34They said (legō), "The Lord needs it."
19: 38saying (legō), "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!"
19: 39Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said (legō) to him, "Teacher, order your disciples to stop."
19: 40Answering he said (legō), "I tell (legō) you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out."
19: 42saying (legō), "If you, even you, had only recognized on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
19: 46and he said (legō), "It is written, 'My house shall be a house of prayer'; but you have made it a den of robbers."
20: 2And said (legō) saying (legō) to him, "Tell (legō) us, by what authority are you doing these things? Who is it who gave you this authority?"
20: 3Answering he said (legō) to them, "I will also ask you a question, and you tell (legō) me:
20: 5They discussed it with one another, saying (legō), "If we say (legō), 'From heaven,' he will say (legō), 'Why did you not believe him?'
20: 6But if we say (legō), 'Of human origin,' all the people will stone us; for they are convinced that John was a prophet."
20: 8Then Jesus said (legō) to them, "Neither will I tell (legō) you by what authority I am doing these things."
20: 9He began to tell (legō) the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to tenants, and went to another country for a long time.
20: 13Then the owner of the vineyard said (legō), 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.'
20: 14But when the tenants saw him, they discussed it among themselves and said (legō), 'This is the heir; let us kill him so that the inheritance may be ours.'
20: 16He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others." When they heard this, they said (legō), "Heaven forbid!"
20: 17But he looked at them and said (legō), "What then does this text mean: 'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone'?
20: 19When the scribes and chief priests realized that he had told (legō) this parable against them, they wanted to lay hands on him at that very hour, but they feared the people.
20: 21So they asked him saying (legō), "Teacher, we know that you are right in what you say (legō) and teach, and you show deference to no one, but teach the way of God in accordance with truth.
20: 23But he perceived their craftiness and said (legō) to them,
20: 24"Show me a denarius. Whose head and whose title does it bear?" They said (legō), "The emperor's."
20: 25He said (legō) to them, "Then give to the emperor the things that are the emperor's, and to God the things that are God's."
20: 28and asked him a question saying (legō), "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and raise up children for his brother.
20: 34Jesus said (legō) to them, "Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage;
20: 37And the fact that the dead are raised Moses himself showed, in the story about the bush, where he speaks (legō) of the Lord as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
20: 39Then some of the scribes answering said (legō), "Teacher, you have spoken (legō) well."
20: 41Then he said (legō) to them, "How can they say (legō) that the Messiah is David's son?
20: 42For David himself says (legō) in the book of Psalms, 'The Lord said (legō) to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand,
20: 45In the hearing of all the people he said (legō) to the disciples,
21: 3He said (legō), "Truly I tell (legō) you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them;
21: 5When some were saying (legō) about the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, he said (legō),
21: 7They asked him saying (legō), "Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign that this is about to take place?"
21: 8And he said (legō), "Beware that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name and say (legō), 'I am he!' and, 'The time is near!' Do not go after them.
21: 10Then he said (legō) to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
21: 29Then he told (legō) them a parable: "Look at the fig tree and all the trees;
21: 32Truly I tell (legō) you, this generation will not pass away until all things have taken place.
22: 1Now the festival of Unleavened Bread, which is said (legō) the Passover, was near.
22: 8So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying (legō), "Go and prepare the Passover meal for us that we may eat it."
22: 9They said (legō) to him, "Where do you want us to make preparations for it?"
22: 10"Listen," he said (legō) to them, "when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house he enters
22: 11and say (legō) to the owner of the house, 'The teacher says (legō) to you, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"'
22: 13So they went and found everything as he had told (legō) them; and they prepared the Passover meal.
22: 15He said (legō) to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;
22: 16for I tell (legō) you, I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."
22: 17Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said (legō), "Take this and divide it among yourselves;
22: 18for I tell (legō) you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."
22: 19Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying (legō), "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
22: 20And he did the same with the cup after supper, saying (legō), "This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.
22: 25But he said (legō) to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors.
22: 33And he said (legō) to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death!"
22: 34Jesus said (legō), "I tell (legō) you, Peter, the cock will not crow this day, until you have denied three times that you know me."
22: 35He said (legō) to them, "When I sent you out without a purse, bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?" They said (legō), "No, not a thing."
22: 36He said (legō) to them, "But now, the one who has a purse must take it, and likewise a bag. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one.
22: 37For I tell (legō) you, this scripture must be fulfilled in me, 'And he was counted among the lawless'; and indeed what is written about me is being fulfilled."
22: 38They said (legō), "Lord, look, here are two swords." He said (legō) to them, "It is enough."
22: 40When he reached the place, he said (legō) to them, "Pray that you may not come into the time of trial."
22: 42Saying (legō), "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me; yet, not my will but yours be done."
22: 46and he said (legō) to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not come into the time of trial."
22: 47While he was still speaking, suddenly a crowd came, and the one said (legō) Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him;
22: 48but Jesus said (legō) to him, "Judas, is it with a kiss that you are betraying the Son of Man?"
22: 49When those who were around him saw what was coming, they said (legō), "Lord, should we strike with the sword?"
22: 51But answering Jesus said (legō), "No more of this!" And he touched his ear and healed him.
22: 52Then Jesus said (legō) to the chief priests, the officers of the temple police, and the elders who had come for him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a bandit?
22: 56Then a servant-girl, seeing him in the firelight, stared at him and said (legō), "This man also was with him."
22: 57But he denied it, saying (legō), "Woman, I do not know him."
22: 59Then about an hour later still another kept saying (legō), "Surely this man also was with him; for he is a Galilean."
22: 60But Peter said (legō), "Man, I do not know what you are saying (legō)!" At that moment, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed.
22: 61The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said (legō) to him, "Before the cock crows today, you will deny me three times."
22: 64they also blindfolded him and kept asking him saying (legō), "Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?"
22: 65They kept heaping many other insults and were saying (legō) on him.
22: 67They said (legō), "If you are the Messiah, tell (legō) us." He said (legō) to them, "If I tell (legō) you, you will not believe;
22: 70All of them said (legō), "Are you, then, the Son of God?" He declared to them, "You say (legō) that I am."
22: 71Then they said (legō), "What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!"
23: 2They began to accuse him, saying (legō), "We found this man perverting our nation, forbidding us to pay taxes to the emperor, and saying (legō) that he himself is the Messiah, a king."
23: 3Then Pilate asked him saying (legō), "Are you the king of the Jews?" He answered, "You say (legō) so."
23: 4Then Pilate said (legō) to the chief priests and the crowds, "I find no basis for an accusation against this man."
23: 5But they were insistent and said (legō), "He stirs up the people by teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee where he began even to this place."
23: 14and said (legō) to them, "You brought me this man as one who was perverting the people; and here I have examined him in your presence and have not found this man guilty of any of your charges against him.
23: 18Then they all shouted out together saying (legō), "Away with this fellow! Release Barabbas for us!"
23: 21but they kept shouting saying (legō), "Crucify, crucify him!"
23: 22A third time he said (legō) to them, "Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no ground for the sentence of death; I will therefore have him flogged and then release him."
23: 28But Jesus turned to them and said (legō), "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
23: 29For the days are surely coming when they will say (legō), 'Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.'
23: 30Then they will begin to say (legō) to the mountains, 'Fall on us'; and to the hills, 'Cover us.'
23: 34 [[Then Jesus said (legō), "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing."]] And they cast lots to divide his clothing.
23: 35And the people stood by, watching; but the leaders scoffed at him, saying (legō), "He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah of God, his chosen one!"
23: 37and saying (legō), "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!"
23: 42Then he said (legō), "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."
23: 43He said (legō) to him, "Truly I tell (legō) you, today you will be with me in Paradise."
23: 46Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said (legō), "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." Having said (legō) this, he breathed his last.
23: 47When the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God and said (legō), "Certainly this man was innocent."
24: 5The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said (legō) to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.
24: 7saying (legō) that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again."
24: 10Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told (legō) this to the apostles.
24: 17And he said (legō) to them, "What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?" They stood still, looking sad.
24: 18Then one of them answering, whose name was Cleopas, said (legō) to him, "Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?"
24: 19He said (legō) to them, "What things?" They said (legō) to him, "The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
24: 23and when they did not find his body there, they came back and told (legō) us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said (legō) that he was alive.
24: 24Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said (legō); but they did not see him."
24: 25Then he said (legō) to them, "Oh, how foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared!
24: 29But they urged him strongly, saying (legō), "Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over." So he went in to stay with them.
24: 32They said (legō) to each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?"
24: 34They were saying (legō), "The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!"
24: 36While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said (legō) to them, "Peace be with you."
24: 38He said (legō) to them, "Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?
24: 40And when he had said (legō) this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
24: 41While in their joy they were disbelieving and still wondering, he said (legō) to them, "Have you anything here to eat?"
24: 44Then he said (legō) to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you - that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled."
24: 46and he said (legō) to them, "Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day,

Acts

1: 3After his suffering he presented himself alive to them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them during forty days and saying (legō) about the kingdom of God.
1: 6So when they had come together, they asked him saying (legō), "Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?"
1: 7He said (legō), "It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority.
1: 9When he had said (legō) this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
1: 11They said (legō), "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up toward heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven."
1: 15In those days Peter stood up among the believers (together the crowd numbered about one hundred twenty persons) and said (legō),
1: 24Then they prayed and said (legō), "Lord, you know everyone's heart. Show us which one of these two you have chosen
2: 7Amazed and astonished, they said (legō), "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
2: 12All were amazed and perplexed, saying (legō) to one another, "What does this mean?"
2: 13But others sneered and said (legō), "They are filled with new wine."
2: 16No, this is what was said (legō) through the prophet Joel:
2: 17'In the last days it will be, God says (legō), that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
2: 25For David says (legō) concerning him, 'I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken;
2: 29"Fellow Israelites, I may say (legō) to you confidently of our ancestor David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
2: 34For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says (legō), 'The Lord said (legō) to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand,
2: 37Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said (legō) to Peter and to the other apostles, "Brothers, what should we do?"
2: 40And he testified with many other arguments and exhorted them, saying (legō), "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."
3: 2And a man lame from birth was being carried in. People would lay him daily at the gate of the temple said (legō) the Beautiful Gate so that he could ask for alms from those entering the temple.
3: 4Peter looked intently at him, as did John, and said (legō), "Look at us."
3: 6But Peter said (legō), "I have no silver or gold, but what I have I give you; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, stand up and walk."
3: 22Moses said (legō), 'The Lord your God will raise up for you from your own people a prophet like me. You must listen to whatever he tells you.
3: 25You are the descendants of the prophets and of the covenant that God gave to your ancestors, saying (legō) to Abraham, 'And in your descendants all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'
4: 8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said (legō) to them, "Rulers of the people and elders,
4: 16They said (legō), "What will we do with them? For it is obvious to all who live in Jerusalem that a notable sign has been done through them; we cannot deny it.
4: 19But Peter and John answering said (legō) to them, "Whether it is right in God's sight to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge;
4: 23After they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said (legō) to them.
4: 24When they heard it, they raised their voices together to God and said (legō), "Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth, the sea, and everything in them,
4: 25it is you who said (legō) by the Holy Spirit through our ancestor David, your servant: 'Why did the Gentiles rage, and the peoples imagine vain things?
4: 32Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one was saying (legō) any possessions to be their own, but everything they owned was held in common.
5: 3"Ananias," Peter said (legō), "why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the proceeds of the land?
5: 8Peter answered her, "Tell (legō) me whether you and your husband sold the land for such and such a price." And she said (legō), "Yes, that was the price."
5: 19But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors, brought them out, and said (legō),
5: 23saying (legō), "We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside."
5: 28saying (legō), "We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you are determined to bring this man's blood on us."
5: 29But answering Peter and the apostles said (legō), "We must obey God rather than any human authority.
5: 35Then he said (legō) to them, "Fellow Israelites, consider carefully what you propose to do to these men.
5: 36For some time ago Theudas rose up, saying (legō) to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him; but he was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and disappeared.
5: 38So in the present case, I tell (legō) you, keep away from these men and let them alone; because if this plan or this undertaking is of human origin, it will fail;
6: 2And the twelve called together the whole community of the disciples and said (legō), "It is not right that we should neglect the word of God in order to wait on tables.
6: 9Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was said (legō)), Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and others of those from Cilicia and Asia, stood up and argued with Stephen.
6: 11Then they secretly instigated some men to say (legō), "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God."
6: 13They set up false witnesses who said (legō), "This man never stops telling things against this holy place and the law;
6: 14for we have heard him say (legō) that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and will change the customs that Moses handed on to us."
7: 1Then the high priest said (legō) to him, "Are these things so?"
7: 3and said (legō) to him, 'Leave your country and your relatives and go to the land that I will show you.'
7: 7'But I will judge the nation that they serve,' said (legō) God, 'and after that they shall come out and worship me in this place.'
7: 26The next day he came to some of them as they were quarreling and tried to reconcile them, saying (legō), 'Men, you are brothers; why do you wrong each other?'
7: 27But the man who was wronging his neighbor pushed Moses aside, saying (legō), 'Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
7: 33Then the Lord said (legō) to him, 'Take off the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.
7: 35"It was this Moses whom they rejected when they said (legō), 'Who made you a ruler and a judge?' and whom God now sent as both ruler and liberator through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
7: 37This is the Moses who said (legō) to the Israelites, 'God will raise up a prophet for you from your own people as he raised me up.'
7: 40saying (legō) to Aaron, 'Make gods for us who will lead the way for us; as for this Moses who led us out from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.'
7: 48Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made with human hands; as the prophet says (legō),
7: 49'Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me, says (legō) the Lord, or what is the place of my rest?
7: 56"Look," he said (legō), "I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!"
7: 59While they were stoning Stephen, he prayed and said (legō), "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."
7: 60Then he knelt down and cried out in a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said (legō) this, he died.
8: 6The crowds with one accord listened eagerly to what was said (legō) by Philip, hearing and seeing the signs that he did,
8: 9Now a certain man named Simon had previously practiced magic in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, saying (legō) that he was someone great.
8: 10All of them, from the least to the greatest, listened to him eagerly, saying (legō), "This man is the power of God that is called Great."
8: 19saying (legō), "Give me also this power so that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit."
8: 20But Peter said (legō) to him, "May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain God's gift with money!
8: 24Answering Simon said (legō), "Pray for me to the Lord, that nothing of what you have said (legō) may happen to me."
8: 26Then an angel of the Lord said (legō) to Philip, "Get up and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." (This is a wilderness road.)
8: 29Then the Spirit said (legō) to Philip, "Go over to this chariot and join it."
8: 30So Philip ran up to it and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. He said (legō), "Do you understand what you are reading?"
8: 31He said (legō), "How can I, unless someone guides me?" And he invited Philip to get in and sit beside him.
8: 34Answering the eunuch said (legō) to Philip, "About whom, may I ask you, does the prophet say (legō) this, about himself or about someone else?"
9: 4He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying (legō) to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
9: 5He said (legō), "Who are you, Lord?" The reply came, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
9: 10Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said (legō) to him in a vision, "Ananias." He said (legō), "Here I am, Lord."
9: 15But the Lord said (legō) to him, "Go, for he is an instrument whom I have chosen to bring my name before Gentiles and kings and before the people of Israel;
9: 17So Ananias went and entered the house. He laid his hands on Saul and said (legō), "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on your way here, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
9: 21All who heard him were amazed and said (legō), "Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem among those who invoked this name? And has he not come here for the purpose of bringing them bound before the chief priests?"
9: 34Peter said (legō) to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your bed!" And immediately he got up.
9: 36Now in Joppa there was a disciple whose name was Tabitha, which in Greek is said (legō) Dorcas. She was devoted to good works and acts of charity.
9: 40Peter put all of them outside, and then he knelt down and prayed. He turned to the body and said (legō), "Tabitha, get up." Then she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.
10: 3One afternoon at about three o'clock he had a vision in which he clearly saw an angel of God coming in and saying (legō) to him, "Cornelius."
10: 4He stared at him in terror and said (legō), "What is it, Lord?" He said (legō), "Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God.
10: 14But Peter said (legō), "By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is profane or unclean."
10: 19While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said (legō) to him, "Look, three men are searching for you.
10: 21So Peter went down to the men and said (legō), "I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason for your coming?"
10: 22They said (legō), "Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to hear words from you."
10: 26But Peter made him get up, saying (legō), "Stand up; I am only a mortal."
10: 28and he declared to them, "You yourselves know that it is unlawful for a Jew to associate with or to visit a Gentile; but God has shown me that I should not say (legō) anyone profane or unclean.
10: 34Then opening the mouth Peter said (legō): "I truly understand that God shows no partiality,
11: 3saying (legō), "Why did you go to uncircumcised men and eat with them?"
11: 4Then Peter began to explain it to them, step by step, saying (legō),
11: 7I also heard a voice saying (legō) to me, 'Get up, Peter; kill and eat.'
11: 8But I said (legō), 'By no means, Lord; for nothing profane or unclean has ever entered my mouth.'
11: 12The Spirit told (legō) me to go with them and not to make a distinction between them and us. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered the man's house.
11: 13He informed us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying (legō), 'Send to Joppa and bring Simon, who is called Peter;
11: 16And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said (legō), 'John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'
11: 18When they heard this, they were silenced. And they praised God, saying (legō), "Then God has given even to the Gentiles the repentance that leads to life."
12: 7Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him, saying (legō), "Get up quickly." And the chains fell off his wrists.
12: 8The angel said (legō) to him, "Fasten your belt and put on your sandals." He did so. Then he said (legō) to him, "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me."
12: 11Then Peter came to himself and said (legō), "Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hands of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting."
12: 15They said (legō) to her, "You are out of your mind!" But she insisted that it was so. They said (legō), "It is his angel."
12: 17He motioned to them with his hand to be silent, and described for them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he added, "Tell (legō) this to James and to the believers." Then he left and went to another place.
13: 2While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said (legō), "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."
13: 10and said (legō), "You son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and villainy, will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord?
13: 15After the reading of the law and the prophets, the officials of the synagogue sent them a message, saying (legō), "Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say (legō) it."
13: 16So Paul stood up and with a gesture of the hand he said (legō): "You Israelites, and others who fear God, listen.
13: 22When he had removed him, he made David their king. In his testimony about him he said (legō), 'I have found David, son of Jesse, to be a man after my heart, who will carry out all my wishes.'
13: 25And as John was finishing his work, he said (legō), 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but one is coming after me; I am not worthy to untie the thong of the sandals on his feet.'
13: 34As to his raising him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has said (legō) in this way, 'I will give you the holy promises made to David.'
13: 35Therefore he has also said (legō) in another psalm, 'You will not let your Holy One experience corruption.'
13: 40Beware, therefore, that what the prophets said (legō) does not happen to you:
13: 46Then both Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying (legō), "It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken first to you. Since you reject it and judge yourselves to be unworthy of eternal life, we are now turning to the Gentiles.
14: 10said (legō) in a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." And the man sprang up and began to walk.
14: 11When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language saying (legō), "The gods have come down to us in human form!"
14: 15and said, (legō) "Friends, why are you doing this? We are mortals just like you, and we bring you good news, that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.
14: 18Even saying (legō) these words, they scarcely restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.
15: 5But some believers who belonged to the sect of the Pharisees stood up and said (legō), "It is necessary for them to be circumcised and ordered to keep the law of Moses."
15: 7After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said (legō) to them, "My brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that I should be the one through whom the Gentiles would hear the message of the good news and become believers.
15: 13After they finished speaking, James said (legō), "My brothers, listen to me.
15: 17so that all other peoples may seek the Lord - even all the Gentiles over whom my name has been called. Thus says (legō) the Lord, who has been making these things
15: 36After some days Paul said (legō) to Barnabas, "Come, let us return and visit the believers in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord and see how they are doing."
16: 9During the night Paul had a vision: there stood a man of Macedonia pleading with him and saying (legō), "Come over to Macedonia and help us."
16: 15When she and her household were baptized, she urged us, saying (legō), "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come and stay at my home." And she prevailed upon us.
16: 17While she followed Paul and us, she would cry out saying (legō), "These men are slaves of the Most High God, who proclaim to you a way of salvation."
16: 18She kept doing this for many days. But Paul, very much annoyed, turned and said (legō) to the spirit, "I order you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out that very hour.
16: 20When they had brought them before the magistrates, they said (legō), "These men are disturbing our city; they are Jews
16: 28But Paul shouted in a loud voice saying (legō), "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here."
16: 31They said (legō), "Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."
16: 35When morning came, the magistrates sent the police, saying (legō), "Let those men go."
17: 7and Jason has entertained them as guests. They are all acting contrary to the decrees of the emperor, saying (legō) that there is another king named Jesus."
17: 18Also some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers debated with him. Some said (legō), "What does this babbler want to say (legō)?" Others, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign divinities." (This was because he was telling the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.)
17: 19So they took him and brought him to the Areopagus saying (legō), "May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?
17: 21Now all the Athenians and the foreigners living there would spend their time in nothing but saying (legō) or hearing something new.
17: 28For 'In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your own poets have said (legō), 'For we too are his offspring.'
17: 32When they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some scoffed; but others said (legō), "We will hear you again about this."
18: 6When they opposed and reviled him, in protest he shook the dust from his clothes and said (legō) to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."
18: 9One night the Lord said (legō) to Paul in a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;
18: 13They said (legō), "This man is persuading people to worship God in ways that are contrary to the law."
18: 14Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said (legō) to the Jews, "If it were a matter of crime or serious villainy, I would be justified in accepting the complaint of you Jews;
18: 21but on taking leave of them, he said (legō), "I will return to you, if God wills." Then he set sail from Ephesus.
19: 2He said (legō) to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?" They replied, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."
19: 3Then he said (legō), "Into what then were you baptized?" They said (legō), "Into John's baptism."
19: 4Paul said (legō), "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying (legō) to the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus."
19: 13Then some itinerant Jewish exorcists tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying (legō), "I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims."
19: 15But the evil spirit said (legō) to them in reply, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?"
19: 21Now after these things had been accomplished, Paul resolved in the Spirit to go through Macedonia and Achaia, and then to go on to Jerusalem. He said (legō), "After I have gone there, I must also see Rome."
19: 25These he gathered together, with the workers of the same trade, and said (legō), "Men, you know that we get our wealth from this business.
19: 26You also see and hear that not only in Ephesus but in almost the whole of Asia this Paul has persuaded and drawn away a considerable number of people by saying (legō) that gods made with hands are not gods.
19: 28When they heard this, they were enraged and shouted saying (legō), "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"
19: 40For we are in danger of being charged with rioting today, since there is no cause that we can give to justify this commotion." When he had said (legō) this, he dismissed the assembly.
20: 10But Paul went down, and bending over him took him in his arms, and said (legō), "Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him."
20: 18When they came to him, he said (legō) to them: "You yourselves know how I lived among you the entire time from the first day that I set foot in Asia,
20: 23except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city saying (legō) that imprisonment and persecutions are waiting for me.
20: 35In all this I have given you an example that by such work we must support the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, for he himself said (legō), 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
20: 36When he had finished saying (legō) these things, he knelt down with them all and prayed.
20: 38grieving especially because of what he had said (legō), that they would not see him again. Then they brought him to the ship.
21: 4We looked up the disciples and stayed there for seven days. Through the Spirit they told (legō) Paul not to go on to Jerusalem.
21: 11He came to us and took Paul's belt, bound his own feet and hands with it, and said (legō), "Thus says (legō) the Holy Spirit, 'This is the way the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.'"
21: 14Since he would not be persuaded, we remained silent except to say (legō), "The LORD's will be done."
21: 20When they heard it, they praised God. Then they said (legō) to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands of believers there are among the Jews, and they are all zealous for the law.
21: 21They have been informed about you that you teach all the Jews living among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, and that you tell (legō) them not to circumcise their children or observe the customs.
21: 23So do what we tell (legō) you. We have four men who are under a vow.
21: 37Just as Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he said (legō) to the tribune, "May I say (legō) something to you?" The tribune replied, "Do you know Greek?
21: 39Paul said (legō), "I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of an important city; I beg you, let me speak to the people."
21: 40When he had given him permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned to the people for silence; and when there was a great hush, he addressed them in the Hebrew language, saying (legō):
22: 7I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying (legō) to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?'
22: 8I answered, 'Who are you, Lord?' Then he said (legō) to me, 'I am Jesus of Nazareth whom you are persecuting.'
22: 10I said (legō), 'What am I to do, Lord?' The Lord said (legō) to me, 'Get up and go to Damascus; there you will be told everything that has been assigned to you to do.'
22: 13came to me; and standing beside me, he said (legō), 'Brother Saul, regain your sight!' In that very hour I regained my sight and saw him.
22: 14Then he said (legō), 'The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will, to see the Righteous One and to hear his own voice;
22: 18and saw Jesus saying (legō) to me, 'Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about me.'
22: 19And I said (legō), 'Lord, they themselves know that in every synagogue I imprisoned and beat those who believed in you.
22: 21Then he said (legō) to me, 'Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.'"
22: 22Up to this point they listened to him, but then they shouted saying (legō), "Away with such a fellow from the earth! For he should not be allowed to live."
22: 24the tribune directed that he was to be brought into the barracks, and said (legō) he should be examined by flogging, to find out the reason for this outcry against him.
22: 25But when they had tied him up with thongs, Paul said (legō) to the centurion who was standing by, "Is it legal for you to flog a Roman citizen who is uncondemned?"
22: 26When the centurion heard that, he went to the tribune and said (legō) to him, "What are you about to do? This man is a Roman citizen."
22: 27The tribune came and asked Paul, "Tell (legō) me, are you a Roman citizen?" And he said (legō), "Yes."
23: 1While Paul was looking intently at the council he said (legō), "Brothers, up to this day I have lived my life with a clear conscience before God."
23: 3At this Paul said (legō) to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Are you sitting there to judge me according to the law, and yet in violation of the law you order me to be struck?"
23: 4Those standing nearby said (legō), "Do you dare to insult God's high priest?"
23: 5And Paul declared, "I did not realize, brothers, that he was high priest; for it is written, 'You shall not say (legō) evil things of a leader of your people.'"
23: 7When he said (legō) this, a dissension began between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
23: 8(The Sadducees say (legō) that there is no resurrection, or angel, or spirit; but the Pharisees acknowledge all three.)
23: 9Then a great clamor arose, and certain scribes of the Pharisees' group stood up and contended saying (legō), "We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?"
23: 11That night the Lord stood near him and said (legō), "Keep up your courage! For just as you have testified for me in Jerusalem, so you must bear witness also in Rome."
23: 12In the morning the Jews joined in a conspiracy and bound themselves by an oath saying (legō) neither to eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
23: 14They went to the chief priests and elders and said (legō), "We have strictly bound ourselves by an oath to taste no food until we have killed Paul.
23: 20He said (legō), "The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they were going to inquire more thoroughly into his case.
23: 23Then he summoned two of the centurions and said (legō), "Get ready to leave by nine o'clock tonight for Caesarea with two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen.
23: 30When I was informed that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, ordering his accusers also to say (legō) before you what they have against him."
24: 2When Paul had been summoned, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying (legō): "Your Excellency, because of you we have long enjoyed peace, and reforms have been made for this people because of your foresight.
24: 10When the governor motioned to him to speak, Paul said (legō): "I cheerfully make my defense, knowing that for many years you have been a judge over this nation.
24: 14But this I admit to you, that according to the Way, which they say (legō) is a sect, I worship the God of our ancestors, believing everything laid down according to the law or written in the prophets.
24: 20Or let these men here tell (legō) what crime they had found when I stood before the council,
24: 22But Felix, who was rather well informed about the Way, adjourned the hearing saying (legō), "When Lysias the tribune comes down, I will decide your case."
25: 9But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said (legō) to Paul, "Do you wish to go up to Jerusalem and be tried there before me on these charges?"
25: 10Paul said (legō), "I am appealing to the emperor's tribunal; this is where I should be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you very well know.
25: 14Since they were staying there several days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying (legō), "There is a man here who was left in prison by Felix.
25: 20Since I was at a loss how to investigate these questions, I said (legō) to him whether he wished to go to Jerusalem and be tried there on these charges.
26: 1Agrippa said (legō) to Paul, "You have permission to speak for yourself." Then Paul stretched out his hand and began to defend himself:
26: 14When we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying (legō) to me in the Hebrew language, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It hurts you to kick against the goads.'
26: 15I said (legō), 'Who are you, Lord?' The Lord said (legō), 'I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.
26: 22To this day I have had help from God, and so I stand here, testifying to both small and great, saying (legō) nothing but what the prophets and Moses spoke about would take place:
26: 31and as they were leaving, they said (legō) to one another, "This man is doing nothing to deserve death or imprisonment."
27: 10saying (legō), "Sirs, I can see that the voyage will be with danger and much heavy loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives."
27: 11But the centurion paid more attention to the pilot and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said (legō).
27: 21Since they had been without food for a long time, Paul then stood up among them and said (legō), "Men, you should have listened to me and not have set sail from Crete and thereby avoided this damage and loss.
27: 24and he said (legō), 'Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before the emperor; and indeed, God has granted safety to all those who are sailing with you.'
27: 31Paul said (legō) to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
27: 33Just before daybreak, Paul urged all of them to take some food, saying (legō), "Today is the fourteenth day that you have been in suspense and remaining without food, having eaten nothing.
27: 35After he had said (legō) this, he took bread; and giving thanks to God in the presence of all, he broke it and began to eat.
28: 4When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said (legō) to one another, "This man must be a murderer; though he has escaped from the sea, justice has not allowed him to live."
28: 6They were expecting him to swell up or drop dead, but after they had waited a long time and saw that nothing unusual had happened to him, they changed their minds and began to say (legō) that he was a god.
28: 17Three days later he called together the local leaders of the Jews. When they had assembled, he said (legō) to them, "Brothers, though I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our ancestors, yet I was arrested in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans.
28: 21They said (legō), "We have received no letters from Judea about you, and none of the brothers coming here has reported or spoken anything evil about you.
28: 24Some were convinced by what he had said (legō), while others refused to believe.
28: 25So they disagreed with each other; and as they were leaving, Paul made one further statement: "The Holy Spirit was right in saying (legō) to your ancestors through the prophet Isaiah,
28: 26saying (legō), 'Go to this people and say (legō), You will indeed listen, but never understand, and you will indeed look, but never perceive.
