Moses, however, said to the LORD, "If you please, LORD, I
have never been eloquent, neither in the past, nor recently, nor
now that you have spoken to your servant; but I am slow of speech
and tongue." The LORD said to him, "Who gives one man
speech and makes another deaf and dumb? Or who gives sight to one
and makes another blind? Is it not I, the LORD? Go, then! It is I
who will assist you in speaking and will teach you what you are to
say." Yet he insisted, "If you please, Lord, send
someone else!" Then the LORD became angry with Moses and
said, "Have you not your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know
that he is an eloquent speaker. Besides, he is now on his way to
meet you. When he sees you, his heart will be glad. You are to
speak to him, then, and put the words in his mouth. I will assist
both you and him in speaking and will teach the two of you what
you are to do. He shall speak to the people for you: he shall be
your spokesman, and you shall be as God to him." [EX 4:10-16]
Moses said to the Israelites, "See, the LORD has chosen
Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and has
filled him with a divine spirit of skill and understanding and
knowledge in every craft: in the production of embroidery, in
making things of gold, silver or bronze, in cutting and mounting
precious stones, in carving wood, and in every other craft. He has
also given both him and Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of
Dan, the ability to teach others. He has endowed them with skill
to execute all types of work: engraving, embroidering, the making
of variegated cloth of violet, purple and scarlet yarn and fine
linen thread, weaving, and all other arts and crafts." [EX
35:30-35]
The LORD said to Aaron, "When you are to go to the meeting tent, you and your sons are forbidden under pain of death, by a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations, to drink any wine or strong drink. You must be able to distinguish between what is sacred and what is profane, between what is clean and what is unclean; you must teach the Israelites all the laws that the LORD has given them through Moses."
[LEV 10:8-11]
"Now, Israel, hear the statutes and decrees which I am
teaching you to observe, that you may live, and may enter in and
take possession of the land which the LORD, the God of your
fathers, is giving you." [DEUT 4:1]
Therefore, I teach you the statutes and decrees as the LORD, my
God, has commanded me, that you may observe them in the land you
are entering to occupy. [DEUT 4:5]
"However, take care and be earnestly on your guard not to forget the things which your own eyes have seen, nor let them slip from your memory as long as you live, but teach them to your children and to your children's children. There was the day on which you stood before the LORD, your God, at Horeb, and he said to me, 'Assemble the people for me; I will have them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me as long as they live in the land and may so teach their children.'"
[DEUT 4:9-10]
The LORD charged me at that time to teach you the statutes and
decrees which you are to observe over in the land you will occupy.
[DEUT 4:14]
'Then you wait here near me and I will give you all the
commandments, the statutes and decrees you must teach them, that
they may observe them in the land which I am giving them to
possess.' [DEUT 5:31]
"Therefore, take these words of mine into your heart and
soul. Bind them at your wrist as a sign, and let them be a pendant
on your forehead. Teach them to your children, speaking of them at
home and abroad, whether you are busy or at rest. And write them
on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates, so that, as
long as the heavens are above the earth, you and your children may
live on in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers he would
give them." [DEUT 11:18-21]
The LORD said to Moses, "Soon you will be at rest with
your fathers, and then this people will take to rendering wanton
worship to the strange gods among whom they will live in the land
they are about to enter. They will forsake me and break the
covenant which I have made with them. At that time my anger will
flare up against them; I will forsake them and hide my face from
them, so that they will become a prey to be devoured, and many
evils and troubles will befall them. At that time they will indeed
say, 'Is it not because our God is not among us that these evils
have befallen us?' Yet I will be hiding my face from them at that
time only because of all the evil they have done in turning to
other gods. Write out this song, then, for yourselves. Teach it to
the Israelites and have them recite it, so that this song may be a
witness for me against the Israelites. For when I have brought
them into the land flowing with milk and honey which I promised on
oath to their fathers, and they have eaten their fill and grown
fat, if they turn to other gods and serve them, despising me and
breaking my covenant; then, when many evils and troubles befall
them, this song, which their descendants will not have forgotten
to recite, will bear witness against them. For I know what they
are inclined to do even at the present time, before I have brought
them into the land which I promised on oath to their
fathers." So Moses wrote this song that same day, and he
taught it to the Israelites. [DEUT 31:16-22]
Manoah then prayed to the LORD. "O LORD, I beseech
you," he said, "may the man of God whom you sent, return
to us to teach us what to do for the boy who will be born." [JUDG
13:8]
As for me, far be it from me to sin against the LORD by ceasing
to pray for you and to teach you the good and right way. [1SAM
12:23]
The men of the outpost called to Jonathan and his armor-bearer.
"Come up here," they said, "and we will teach you a
lesson." So Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, "Climb up
after me, for the LORD has delivered them into the grasp of
Israel." [1SAM 14:12]
"If the sky is closed, so that there is no rain, because they have sinned against you and you afflict them, and if then they repent of their sin, and pray, and praise your name in this place, listen in heaven and forgive the sin of your servant and of your people Israel, teaching them the right way to live and sending rain upon this land of yours which you have given to your people as their heritage."
[1KGS 8:35-36]
The king of Assyria gave the order, "Send back one of the priests whom I deported, to go there and settle, to teach them how to worship the God of the land." So one of the priests who had been deported from Samaria returned and settled in Bethel, and taught them how to venerate the LORD. [2KGS
17:27-28]
For a long time Israel had no true God, no priest-teacher and no law,
but when in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was present to them.
[2CHRON 15:3-4]
All the people of Judah chose Uzziah, though he was but sixteen
years of age, and proclaimed him king to succeed his father
Amaziah. He rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah; this was after
King Amaziah had gone to rest with his ancestors. Uzziah was
sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two
years in Jerusalem. His mother, named Jecoliah, was from
Jerusalem. He pleased the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had
done. He was prepared to seek God as long as Zechariah lived, who
taught him to fear God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God
made him prosper. [2CHRON 26:1-5]
Ezra had set his heart on the study and practice of the law of
the LORD and on teaching statutes and ordinances in Israel. [EZRA
7:10]
Teach me, and I will be silent; prove to me wherein I have
erred. [JOB 6:24]
If you inquire of the former generations, and give heed to the experience of the fathers (As we are but of yesterday and have no knowledge, because our days on earth are but a shadow), Will they not teach you and tell you and utter their words of understanding? [JOB
8:8-10]
But now ask the beasts to teach you, and the birds of the
air to tell you; Or the reptiles on earth to instruct
you, and the fish of the sea to inform you. Which of all
these does not know that the hand of God has done this? In
his hand is the soul of every living thing, and the life
breath of all mankind. [JOB 12:7-10]
Can anyone teach God knowledge, seeing that he judges those on
high? [JOB 21:22]
I will teach you the manner of God's dealings, and the way of
the Almighty I will not conceal. [JOB 27:11]
Days should speak, I thought, and many years teach wisdom! But it is a spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding. [JOB
32:7-8]
Behold, God is sublime in his power. What teacher is there like
him? [JOB 36:22]
Teach us then what we shall say to him; we cannot, for the
darkness, make our plea. [JOB 37:19]
Make known to me your ways, LORD; teach me your paths. [PS
25:4]
Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my savior.
For you I wait all the long day, because of your goodness, LORD.
[PS 25:5]
Good and upright is the LORD, who shows sinners the way, Guides the humble rightly, and teaches the humble the way. [PS
25:8-9]
Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of
the LORD. [PS 34:12]
The mouths of the just utter wisdom; their tongues speak what is right. God's teaching is in their hearts; their steps do not falter. [PS
37:30-31]
True, I was born guilty, a sinner, even as my mother conceived me.
Still, you insist on sincerity of heart; in my inmost being teach me wisdom. Cleanse me with hyssop, that I may be pure; wash me, make me whiter than snow. [PS
51:7-9]
I will teach the wicked your ways, that sinners may return to
you. [PS 51:15]
God, you have taught me from my youth; to this day I
proclaim your wondrous deeds. [PS 71:17]
Attend, my people, to my teaching; listen to the words of
my mouth. I will open my mouth in story, drawing lessons from
of old. We have heard them, we know them; our ancestors have
recited them to us. We do not keep them from our children; we
recite them to the next generation, The praiseworthy and
mighty deeds of the LORD, the wonders that he performed. God
set up a decree in Jacob, established a law in
Israel: What he commanded our ancestors, they were to
teach their children; That the next generation might come to
know, children yet to be born. In turn they were to
recite them to their children, that they too might put their trust
in God, And not forget the works of God, keeping his
commandments. [PS 78:1-7]
Teach me, LORD, your way that I may walk in your truth,
single-hearted and revering your name. [PS 86:11]
Teach us to count our days aright, that we may gain wisdom of
heart. [PS 90:12]
Understand, you stupid people! You fools, when will you be wise?
Does the one who shaped the ear not hear? The one who formed the eye not see? Does the one who guides nations not rebuke? The one who teaches humans not have knowledge? The LORD does know human plans; they are only puffs of air. [PS
94:8-11]
Happy those whom you guide, LORD, whom you teach by your
instruction. [PS 94:12]
He brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with shouts of triumph. He gave them the lands of the nations, the wealth of the peoples to own, That they might keep his laws and observe his teachings. Hallelujah!
[PS 105:43-45]
Happy those whose way is blameless, who walk by the teaching of
the LORD. [PS 119:1]
Blessed are you, O LORD; teach me your laws. [PS 119:12]
Open my eyes to see clearly the wonders of your teachings. [PS
119:18]
I disclosed my ways and you answered me; teach me your laws.
[PS 119:26]
Make me understand the way of your precepts; I will ponder
your wondrous deeds. I weep in bitter pain; in accord with
your word to strengthen me. Lead me from the way of
deceit; favor me with your teaching. The way of loyalty I
have chosen; I have set your edicts before me. I cling to
your decrees, LORD; do not let me come to shame. I will run
the way of your commands, for you open my docile heart. [PS
119:27-32]
LORD, teach me the way of your laws; I shall observe them with care. Give me insight to observe your teaching, to keep it with all my heart. [PS
119:33-34]
Do not take the word of truth from my mouth, for in your
edicts is my hope. I will keep your teachings always, for all
time and forever. I will walk freely in an open space because
I cherish your precepts. I will speak openly of your
decrees without fear even before kings. I delight in your
commands, which I dearly love. I lift up my hands to your
commands; I study your laws, which I love. [PS 119:43-48]
Though the arrogant utterly scorn me, I do not turn from
your teaching. When I recite your edicts of old I am
comforted, LORD. Rage seizes me because of the wicked; they
forsake your teaching. Your laws become my songs wherever I
make my home. Even at night I remember your name in
observance of your teaching, LORD. This is my good
fortune, for I have observed your precepts. [PS 119:51-56]
I am prompt, I do not hesitate in keeping your commands. Though the snares of the wicked surround me, your teaching I do not forget.
At midnight I rise to praise you because your edicts are just. I am the friend of all who fear you, of all who keep your precepts. [PS
119:60-63]
The earth, LORD, is filled with your love; teach me your laws.
[PS 119:64]
Teach me wisdom and knowledge, for in your commands I trust.
[PS 119:66]
You are good and do what is good; teach me your laws. [PS
119:68]
Their hearts are gross and fat; as for me, your teaching is my
delight. [PS 119:70]
Teaching from your lips is more precious to me than heaps of
silver and gold. [PS 119:72]
Your hands made me and fashioned me; give me insight to
learn your commands. Those who fear you rejoice to see
me, because I hope in your word. I know, LORD, that your
edicts are just; though you afflict me, you are faithful. May
your love comfort me in accord with your promise to your
servant. Show me compassion that I may live, for your
teaching is my delight. [PS 119:73-77]
The arrogant have dug pits for me; defying your teaching. [PS
119:85]
Had your teaching not been my delight, I would have perished in
my affliction. [PS 119:92]
How I love your teaching, Lord! I study it all day long.
Your command makes me wiser than my foes, for it is always
with me. I have more understanding than all my
teachers, because I ponder your decrees. I have more insight
than my elders, because I observe your precepts. I keep my
steps from every evil path, that I may obey your word. [PS
119:97-101]
From your edicts I do not turn, for you have taught them to me.
[PS 119:102]
I am very much afflicted, LORD; give me life in accord
with your word. Accept my freely offered praise; LORD, teach
me your decrees. My life is always at risk, but I do not
forget your teaching. The wicked have set snares for me, but
from your precepts I do not stray. [PS 119:107-110]
I hate every hypocrite; your teaching I love. [PS 119:113]
Act with kindness toward your servant; teach me your laws. I am your servant; give me discernment that I may know your decrees. [PS
119:124-125]
It is time for the LORD to act; they have disobeyed your
teaching. [PS 119:126]
Let your face shine upon your servant; teach me your laws. [PS
119:135]
My eyes shed streams of tears because your teaching is not
followed. [PS 119:136]
Your justice is forever right, your teaching forever true. [PS
119:142]
Malicious persecutors draw near me; they are far from your
teaching. [PS 119:150]
Look at my affliction and rescue me, for I have not forgotten
your teaching. [PS 119:153]
I rejoice at your promise, as one who has found rich spoil.
Falsehood I hate and abhor; your teaching I love. Seven times a day I praise you because your edicts are just. Lovers of your teaching have much peace; for them there is no stumbling block. [PS
119:162-165]
May my lips pour forth your praise, because you teach me your
laws. [PS 119:171]
I long for your salvation, LORD; your teaching is my delight. Let me live to praise you; may your edicts give me help. I have wandered like a lost sheep; seek out your servant, for I do not forget your commands. [PS
119:174-176]
The LORD swore an oath to David, a pledge never to be broken:
"Your own offspring I will set upon your throne. If your sons observe my covenant, the laws I shall teach them, Their sons, in turn, shall sit forever on your throne." [PS
132:11-12]
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your kind
spirit guide me on ground that is level. [PS 143:10]
Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and reject not your mother's teaching; A graceful diadem will they be for your head; a torque for your neck. [PROV
1:8-9]
My son, forget not my teaching, keep in mind my commands; For many days, and years of life, and peace, will they bring you. [PROV
3:1-2]
Hear, O children, a father's instruction, be attentive, that you may gain understanding! Yes, excellent advice I give you; my teaching do not forsake. When I was my father's child, frail, yet the darling of my mother, He taught me, and said to me: "Let your heart hold fast my words: keep my commands, that you may live!
Get wisdom, get understanding! Do not forget or turn aside from the words I utter."
[PROV 4:1-5]
And you groan in the end, when your flesh and your body
are consumed; And you say, "Oh, why did I hate
instruction, and my heart spurn reproof! Why did I not listen
to the voice of my teachers, nor to my instructors incline my
ear! I have all but come to utter ruin, condemned by the
public assembly!" [PROV 5:11-14]
Observe, my son, your father's bidding, and reject not your mother's teaching; Keep them fastened over your heart always, put them around your neck; For the bidding is a lamp, and the teaching a light, and a way to life are the reproofs of discipline [Taken from PROV
6:20-21,23]
My son, keep my words, and treasure my commands. Keep my commands and live, my teaching as the apple of your eye; Bind them on your fingers, write them on the tablet of your heart. [PROV
7:1-3]
Instruct a wise man, and he becomes still wiser; teach a just
man, and he advances in learning. [PROV 9:9]
The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, that a man may
avoid the snares of death. [PROV 13:14]
That your trust may be in the LORD, I make known to you the words of Amen-em-Ope. Have I not written for you the "Thirty," with counsels and knowledge, To teach you truly how to give a dependable report to one who sends you? [PROV
22:19-21]
I would lead you, bring you in to the home of my mother. There
you would teach me to give you spiced wine to drink and
pomegranate juice. [SONG 8:2]
Cycles of years, positions of the stars, natures of animals,
tempers of beasts, Powers of the winds and thoughts of men, uses
of plants and virtues of roots- Such things as are hidden I
learned and such as are plain; for Wisdom, the artificer of all,
taught me. For in her is a spirit intelligent, holy, unique,
Manifold, subtle, agile, clear, unstained, certain, Not baneful,
loving the good, keen, unhampered, beneficent, kindly, Firm,
secure, tranquil, all-powerful, all-seeing, And pervading all
spirits, though they be intelligent, pure and very subtle. For
Wisdom is mobile beyond all motion, and she penetrates and
pervades all things by reason of her purity. [WISDOM 7:19-24]
Or if one loves justice, the fruits of her works are virtues;
For she teaches moderation and prudence, justice and fortitude,
and nothing in life is more useful for men than these. [WISDOM
8:7]
But though you are master of might, you judge with clemency,
and with much lenience you govern us; for power, whenever you
will, attends you. And you taught your people, by these deeds,
that those who are just must be kind; And you gave your sons good
ground for hope that you would permit repentance for their sins.
For these were enemies of your servants, doomed to death; yet,
while you punished them with such solicitude and pleading,
granting time and opportunity to abandon wickedness, With what
exactitude you judged your sons, to whose fathers you gave the
sworn covenants of goodly promises! [WISDOM 12:18-21]
My son, if you wish, you can be taught; if you apply yourself,
you will be shrewd. [SIRACH 6:32]
Be not jealous of the wife of your bosom, lest you teach her to
do evil against you. [SIRACH 9:1]
Man may be merciful to his fellow man, but the LORD'S mercy reaches all flesh, Reproving, admonishing, teaching, as a shepherd guides his flock; Merciful to those who accept his guidance, who are diligent in his precepts. [SIRACH
18:11-13]
He can never be taught who is not shrewd, but one form of
shrewdness is thoroughly bitter. [SIRACH 21:12]
Teaching a fool is like gluing a broken pot, or like disturbing a man in the depths of sleep; He talks with a slumberer who talks with a fool, for when it is over, he will say, "What was that?" [SIRACH
22:7-8]
Now I, like a rivulet from her stream, channeling the waters into a garden, Said to myself, "I will water my plants, my flower bed I will drench"; And suddenly this rivulet of mine became a river, then this stream of mine, a sea. Thus do I send my teachings forth shining like the dawn, to become known afar off. Thus do I pour out instruction like prophecy and bestow it on generations to come. [SIRACH
24:28-31]
Force him to work that he be not idle, for idleness is an apt
teacher of mischief. [SIRACH 33:28]
He permitted [Moses] to hear his voice, and led him into the cloud,
Where, face to face, he gave him the commandments, the law of life
and understanding, That he might teach his precepts to Jacob, his
judgments and decrees to Israel. [Taken from SIRACH 45:5]
He gave to [Aaron] his laws, and authority to prescribe and to
judge: To teach the precepts to his people, and the ritual to the
descendants of Israel. [Taken from SIRACH 45:17]
In the short time I paid heed, I met with great instruction. Since in this way I have profited, I will give my teacher grateful
praise. [SIRACH 51:16-17]
How long will you be deprived of wisdom's food, how long
will you endure such bitter thirst? I open my mouth and speak of
her: gain, at no cost, wisdom for yourselves. Submit your
neck to her yoke, that your mind may accept her
teaching. For she is close to those who seek her, and
the one who is in earnest finds her. See for yourselves! I have
labored only a little, but have found much. Acquire but a
little instruction; you will win silver and gold through her.
[SIRACH 51:24-28]
The Lord will give you the bread you need and the water for
which you thirst. No longer will your Teacher hide himself, but
with your own eyes you shall see your Teacher [Taken from ISA 30:20]
Who has directed the spirit of the LORD, or has instructed him
as his counselor? Whom did he consult to gain knowledge? Who
taught him the path of judgment, or showed him the way of
understanding? [ISA 40:13-14]
Until he establishes justice on the earth; the coastlands will
wait for his teaching. [ISA 42:4]
Thus says the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I,
the LORD, your God, teach you what is for your good, and lead you
on the way you should go. [ISA 48:17]
Hear me, you who know justice, you people who have my teaching at heart:
Fear not the reproach of men, be not dismayed at their revilings. They shall be like a garment eaten by moths,
like wool consumed by grubs; But my justice shall remain forever and my salvation, for all generations. [ISA 51:7-8]
All your sons shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be
the peace of your children. [ISA 54:13]
Shall I not punish these things? says the LORD; on a nation such as this shall I not take vengeance? A shocking, horrible thing
has happened in the land: The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests teach as they wish;
Yet my people will have it so; what will you do when the end comes? [JER 5:29-31]
The LORD answered: Because they have abandoned my law, which I
set before them, and have not followed it or listened to my voice,
but followed rather the hardness of their hearts and the Baals, as
their fathers had taught them; therefore, thus says the LORD of
hosts, the God of Israel: See now, I will give them wormwood to
eat and poison to drink. I will scatter them among nations whom
neither they nor their fathers have known; I will send the sword
to pursue them until I have completely destroyed them. [JER 9:12-15]
Hear, you women, the word of the LORD, let your ears receive
his message. Teach your daughters this dirge, and each other this
lament. [JER 9:19]
The days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. It will
not be like the covenant I made with their fathers the day I took
them by the hand to lead them forth from the land of Egypt; for
they broke my covenant and I had to show myself their master, says
the LORD. But this is the covenant which I will make with the
house of Israel after those days, says the LORD. I will place my
law within them, and write it upon their hearts; I will be their
God, and they shall be my people. No longer will they have need to
teach their friends and kinsmen how to know the LORD. All, from
least to greatest, shall know me, says the LORD, for I will
forgive their evildoing and remember their sin no more. [JER 31:31-34]
They turned their backs to me, not their faces; though I kept
teaching them, they would not listen to my correction. [JER 32:33]
Thus the word of the LORD came to me: Son of man, say to her: You are a land
[not rained on] at the time of my fury.
Her princes are like roaring lions... they devour people, seizing their wealth and precious things, and make widows of many within her.
Her priests violate my law and profane what is holy to me; they do not distinguish between the sacred and the profane, nor teach the difference between the unclean and the clean; they pay no attention to my sabbaths, so that I have been profaned in their midst.
[Taken from EZEK 22:23-26]
They shall teach my people to distinguish between the sacred
and the profane, and make known to them the difference between the
clean and the unclean. [EZEK 44:23]
When Israel was a child I loved him, out of Egypt I called my
son. The more I called them, the farther they went from me... Yet
it was I who taught Ephraim to walk, who took them in my arms; I
drew them with human cords, with bands of love; I fostered them
like one who raises an infant to his cheeks; Yet, though I stooped
to feed my child, they did not know that I was their healer. [Taken
from HOSEA 11:1-4]
And do you, O children of Zion, exult and rejoice in the LORD,
your God! He has given you the teacher of justice: he has made the
rain come down for you, the early and the late rain as before.
[JOEL 2:23]
But they refused to listen; they stubbornly turned their backs and stopped their ears so as not to hear. And they made their hearts diamond hard so as not to hear the teaching and the message that the LORD of hosts had sent by his spirit through the former prophets. Then the LORD of hosts in his great anger said that, as they had not listened when he called, so he would not listen when they called, but would scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations that they did not know. Thus the land was left desolate after them with no one traveling to and fro; they made the pleasant land into a desert.
[ZECH 7:11-14]
He went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues,
proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease
and illness among the people. [MT 4:23]
He began to teach them, saying: "Blessed are the
poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed
are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are
the meek, for they will inherit the land. Blessed are they
who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be
satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown
mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children
of God. Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake
of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter
every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me. Rejoice
and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus they
persecuted the prophets who were before you." [MT 5:2-12]
Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these
commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in
the kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these
commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven. [MT
5:19]
"Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on
them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain
fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house.
But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock. And
everyone who listens to these words of mine but does not act on
them will be like a fool who built his house on sand. The rain
fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house.
And it collapsed and was completely ruined." When Jesus
finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his teaching,
for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their
scribes. [MT 7:24-29]
The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher
eat with tax collectors and sinners?" He heard this and said, "Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick
do. Go and learn the meaning of the words, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.'
I did not come to call the righteous but sinners."
[MT 9:11-13]
Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in
their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and
curing every disease and illness. [MT 9:35]
You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever
endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one
town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not finish the
towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. No disciple is above
his teacher, no slave above his master. It is enough for the
disciple that he become like his teacher, for the slave that he
become like his master. If they have called the master of the
house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household! [MT 10:22-25]
He came to his native place and taught the people in their
synagogue. They were astonished and said, "Where did this man
get such wisdom and mighty deeds?" [MT 13:54]
Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and
said, "Why do your disciples break the tradition of the
elders? They do not wash (their) hands when they eat a meal."
He said to them in reply, "And why do you break the
commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God said,
'Honor your father and your mother,' and 'Whoever curses father or
mother shall die.' But you say, 'Whoever says to father or mother,
"Any support you might have had from me is dedicated to
God," need not honor his father.' You have nullified the word
of God for the sake of your tradition. Hypocrites, well did Isaiah
prophesy about you when he said: 'This people honors me with their
lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship
me, teaching as doctrines human precepts.'" [MT 15:1-9]
"How do you not comprehend that I was not speaking to you about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees." Then they understood
that he was not telling them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
[MT 16:11-12]
Now someone approached him and said, "Teacher, what good
must I do to gain eternal life?" He answered him, "Why
do you ask me about the good? There is only One who is good. If
you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." He asked
him, "Which ones?" And Jesus replied, "'You shall
not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you
shall not bear false witness; honor your father and your mother';
and 'you shall love your neighbor as yourself.'" The young
man said to him, "All of these I have observed. What do I
still lack?" Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be
perfect, go, sell what you have and give to (the) poor, and you
will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." [MT
19:16-21]
When he had come into the temple area, the chief priests and
the elders of the people approached him as he was teaching and
said, "By what authority are you doing these things? And who
gave you this authority?" Jesus said to them in reply,
"I shall ask you one question, and if you answer it for me,
then I shall tell you by what authority I do these things. Where
was John's baptism from? Was it of heavenly or of human
origin?" They discussed this among themselves and said,
"If we say 'Of heavenly origin,' he will say to us, 'Then why
did you not believe him?' But if we say, 'Of human origin,' we
fear the crowd, for they all regard John as a prophet." So
they said to Jesus in reply, "We do not know." He
himself said to them, "Neither shall I tell you by what
authority I do these things." [MT 21:23-27]
Then the Pharisees went off and plotted how they might entrap
him in speech. They sent their disciples to him, with the
Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are a truthful
man and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the
truth. And you are not concerned with anyone's opinion, for you do
not regard a person's status. Tell us, then, what is your opinion:
Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?" Knowing
their malice, Jesus said, "Why are you testing me, you
hypocrites? Show me the coin that pays the census tax." Then
they handed him the Roman coin. He said to them, "Whose image
is this and whose inscription?" They replied,
"Caesar's." At that he said to them, "Then repay to
Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to
God." When they heard this they were amazed, and leaving him
they went away. [MT 22:15-22]
On that day Sadducees approached him, saying that there is no
resurrection. They put this question to him, saying,
"Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies without children, his
brother shall marry his wife and raise up descendants for his
brother.' Now there were seven brothers among us. The first
married and died and, having no descendants, left his wife to his
brother. The same happened with the second and the third, through
all seven. Finally the woman died. Now at the resurrection, of the
seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had been married to
her." Jesus said to them in reply, "You are misled
because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God. At the
resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are
like the angels in heaven. And concerning the resurrection of the
dead, have you not read what was said to you by God, 'I am the God
of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the
God of the dead but of the living." When the crowds heard
this, they were astonished at his teaching. [MT 22:23-33]
When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees,
they gathered together, and one of them (a scholar of the law)
tested him by asking, "Teacher, which commandment in the law
is the greatest?" He said to him, "You shall love the
Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with
all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The
second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The
whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments." [MT
22:34-40]
As for you, do not be called 'Rabbi.' You have but one teacher,
and you are all brothers. [MT 23:8]
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples approached Jesus and said, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?" He said, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The teacher says, "My appointed time draws near; in your house I shall celebrate the Passover with my disciples."'" The disciples then did as Jesus had ordered, and prepared the Passover.
[MT 26:17-19]
At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me? Day after day I sat teaching in the temple area, yet you did not arrest me. But all this has come to pass that the writings of the prophets may be fulfilled." Then all the disciples left him and fled. [MT
26:55-56]
Then Jesus approached and said to them, "All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore,
and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."
[MT 28:18-20]
Then they came to Capernaum, and on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught. The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes. [MK
1:21-22]
Jesus rebuked him and said, "Quiet! Come out of him!" The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him. All were amazed and asked one another, "What is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him." [MK
1:25-27]
Once again he went out along the sea. All the crowd came to him
and he taught them. [MK 2:13]
On another occasion he began to teach by the sea. A very large crowd gathered around him so that he got into a boat on the sea and sat down. And the whole crowd was beside the sea on land. And he taught them at length in parables [Taken from MK
4:1-2]
A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat,
so that it was already filling up. Jesus was in the stern, asleep
on a cushion. They woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you
not care that we are perishing?" He woke up, rebuked the
wind, and said to the sea, "Quiet! Be still!" The wind
ceased and there was great calm. Then he asked them, "Why are
you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?" [MK 4:37-40]
While he was still speaking, people from the synagogue official's house arrived and said, "Your daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any longer?" Disregarding the message that was reported, Jesus said to the synagogue official, "Do not be afraid; just have faith."
[MK 5:35-36]
When the sabbath came he began to teach in the synagogue, and
many who heard him were astonished. They said, "Where did
this man get all this? What kind of wisdom has been given him?
What mighty deeds are wrought by his hands! [MK 6:2]
Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and among his own kin and in his own house."
So he was not able to perform any mighty deed there, apart from curing a few sick people by laying his hands on them. He was amazed at their lack of faith. He went around to the villages in the vicinity teaching. [MK
6:4-6]
The apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all they
had done and taught. [MK 6:30]
When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved
with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd;
and he began to teach them many things. [MK 6:34]
He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer greatly
and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,
and be killed, and rise after three days. [MK 8:31]
He was teaching his disciples and telling them, "The Son
of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill him, and
three days after his death he will rise." [MK 9:31]
John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us." Jesus replied, "Do not prevent him. There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me. For whoever is not against us is for us. Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward." [MK
9:38-41]
He set out from there and went into the district of Judea (and)
across the Jordan. Again crowds gathered around him and, as was
his custom, he again taught them. [MK 10:1]
As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down
before him, and asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to
inherit eternal life?" Jesus answered him, "Why do you
call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the
commandments: 'You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery;
you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall
not defraud; honor your father and your mother.'" He replied
and said to him, "Teacher, all of these I have observed from
my youth." Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him,
"You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and
give to (the) poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then
come, follow me." At that statement his face fell, and he
went away sad, for he had many possessions. [MK 10:17-22]
They came to Jerusalem, and on entering the temple area he
began to drive out those selling and buying there. He overturned
the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were
selling doves. He did not permit anyone to carry anything through
the temple area. Then he taught them saying, "Is it not
written: 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all
peoples'? But you have made it a den of thieves." The
chief priests and the scribes came to hear of it and were seeking
a way to put him to death, yet they feared him because the whole
crowd was astonished at his teaching. [MK 11:15-18]
They sent some Pharisees and Herodians to him to ensnare him in
his speech. They came and said to him, "Teacher, we know that
you are a truthful man and that you are not concerned with
anyone's opinion. You do not regard a person's status but teach
the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay
the census tax to Caesar or not? Should we pay or should we not
pay?" Knowing their hypocrisy he said to them, "Why are
you testing me? Bring me a denarius to look at." They brought
one to him and he said to them, "Whose image and inscription
is this?" They replied to him, "Caesar's." So Jesus
said to them, "Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to
God what belongs to God." They were utterly amazed at him. [MK
12:13-17]
One of the scribes, when he came forward and heard them
disputing and saw how well he had answered them, asked him,
"Which is the first of all the commandments?" Jesus
replied, "The first is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our
God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your
strength.' The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as
yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
The scribe said to him, "Well said, teacher. You are right in
saying, 'He is One and there is no other than he.'" [MK 12:28-32]
As Jesus was teaching in the temple area he said, "How do the scribes claim that the Messiah is the son of David? David himself, inspired by the
Holy Spirit, said: 'The Lord said to my lord, "Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies under your feet."' David himself calls him 'lord'; so how is he his son?" (The) great crowd heard this with delight.
[MK 12:35-37]
In the course of his teaching he said, "Beware of the scribes, who like to go around in long robes and accept greetings in the marketplaces, seats of honor in synagogues, and places of honor at banquets. They devour the houses of widows and, as a pretext,
recite lengthy prayers. They will receive a very severe
condemnation." [MK 12:38-40]
Jesus said to them in reply, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to seize me? Day after day I was with you teaching in the temple area, yet you did not arrest me; but that the scriptures may be fulfilled."
[MK 14:48-49]
Since many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the events that have been fulfilled among us, just as those who were eyewitnesses from the beginning and ministers of the word have handed them down to us, I too have decided, after investigating everything accurately anew, to write it down in an orderly sequence for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may realize the certainty of the teachings you
have received. [LK 1:1-4]
Each year his parents went to Jerusalem for the feast of
Passover, and when he was twelve years old, they went up according
to festival custom. After they had completed its days, as they
were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but
his parents did not know it. Thinking that he was in the caravan,
they journeyed for a day and looked for him among their relatives
and acquaintances, but not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem
to look for him. After three days they found him in the temple,
sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking
them questions, and all who heard him were astounded at his
understanding and his answers. [LK 2:41-47]
Even tax collectors came to be baptized [by John the Baptist] and they said to him,
"Teacher, what should we do?" [Taken from LK 3:12]
Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news of him spread
throughout the whole region. He taught in their synagogues and was praised by all. [LK
4:14-15]
