After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

But when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.”

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”

I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?

Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

For no word from God will ever fail.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

“‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”

He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’
