Now some of the scribes were sitting there questioning in their hearts,

At once Jesus perceived in his spirit that they were discussing these questions among themselves, and he said to them, “Why do you raise such questions in your hearts?

He looked around at them with anger; he was grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.”

for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

He said to them, “Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me;

since it enters not the heart but the stomach and goes out into the sewer?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.)

For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: sexual immorality, theft, murder,

And becoming aware of it, Jesus said to them, “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened?

But Jesus said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote this commandment for you.

Jesus stood still and said, “Call him here.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart; get up, he is calling you.”

Truly I tell you, if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and if you do not doubt in your heart but believe that what you say will come to pass, it will be done for you.

you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

and ‘to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength’ and ‘to love one’s neighbor as oneself’—this is much more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
