Matthew 9: ¹²... "Healthy people don't need a doctor, but sick people do. ¹³Go and learn what the Scriptures mean when they say, 'Instead of offering sacrifices to me, I want you to be merciful to others.' I didn't come to invite good people to be my followers. I came to invite sinners." (CEV)

Matthew 9: ³⁶When he saw the crowds, he felt sorry for them. They were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. ³⁷He said ... "A large crop is in the fields, but there are only a few workers. ³⁸Ask the Lord in charge of the harvest to send out workers to bring it in." (CEV)

Matthew 11: ²⁵At that moment Jesus said: My Father, Lord of heaven and earth, I am grateful that you hid all this from wise and educated people and showed it to ordinary people. ²⁶Yes, Father, that is what pleased you. ²⁷My Father has given me everything, and he is the only one who knows the Son. The only one who truly knows the Father is the Son. But the Son wants to tell others about the Father, so that they can know him too. ²⁸If you are tired from carrying heavy burdens, come to me and I will give you rest. ²⁹ ... I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest. (CEV)

Matthew 12: ⁷Don't you know what the Scriptures mean when they say, "Instead of offering sacrifices to me, I want you to be merciful to others?" If you knew what this means, you would not condemn these innocent disciples of mine. ⁸So the Son of Man is Lord over the Sabbath....
    ¹⁷ ... Isaiah the prophet had said, ¹⁸"Here is my chosen servant! I love him, and he pleases me. I will give him my Spirit, and he will bring justice to the nations. ¹⁹He won't shout or yell or call out in the streets. ²⁰He won't break off a bent reed or put out a dying flame, but he will make sure that justice is done.²¹All nations will place their hope in him." (CEV)

Matthew 13: ³⁴Jesus used stories ... In fact, he did not tell them anything without using stories. ³⁵So God's promise came true, just as the prophet had said, "I will use stories to speak my message and to explain things that have been hidden since the creation of the world." (CEV)

Philippians 2: ⁵ ... think the same way that Christ Jesus thought:... ⁷He gave up everything and became a slave, when he became like one of us. ⁸Christ was humble. He obeyed God and even died on a cross. ⁹Then God gave Christ the highest place and honored his name above all others. ¹⁰So at the name of Jesus everyone will bow down, those in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. ¹¹And to the glory of God the Father everyone will openly agree, "Jesus Christ is Lord!" (CEV)
