But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

The Flight to Egypt

Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.”

saying, “Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead.”

But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God,

And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.

And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is 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 brother's eye.

And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven.”

Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well.

And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out?

But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”

And he answered, “It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.”

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus

Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tax? From their sons or from others?”

However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for me and for yourself.”

But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses.

Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you.

And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.

Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house,

and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak.

Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.

Institution of the Lord's Supper

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”

Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on. See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword.
