When the Pharisees demanded to know when the kingdom of God should come,

 Luke 17:20, Jesus, Jes'ian, Jesian

Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life will save it

 Luke 17:33, Jesus, Jes'ian, Jesian

Two men went into the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed, God, I thank thee that I am not like other men who are extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even publicans. I fast twice a week and I give tithes of all that I possess.

 Luke 18:10, Jesus, Jes'ian, Jesian

The Son of man is come to seek and to save those who were lost.

 Luke 19:10, Jesus, Jes'ian, Jesian

Then the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. They will respect him when they see him. But, when the husbandmen saw him, they said, This is the heir. Let us kill him so the inheritance will be ours. So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.

Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God.

 Matthew 5:8, Jesus, Jesian, Jes'ian 

Let your light so shine that others see your good works reflecting only your Father in heaven.

 Matthew 5:16, Jesus, Jesian, Jes'ian 

Unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you shall enter the kingdom of heaven.

 Matthew 5:20, Jesus, Jesian, Jes'ian 

Instead, seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Then all these things shall be added unto you.

First, cast out the beam from thine own eye, then thou shall see clearly enough to cast the mote from thy brother's eye.

Seek and ye shall find.

At a distance from them was a herd of swine. The devils said to Him, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go into the herd of swine. Jesus said to them, Go. When they came out of the men, they went into the herd of swine. Behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea and perished in the waters. The herders who kept them fled into the city and told people what happened to those possessed by the devils. Then the whole city went to see Jesus and, when they saw Him, they besought Him to depart from their coasts.

As they departed, Jesus spoke to the crowds about John. He said, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

What went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

What went ye out to see? A prophet? Yes, and he is more than a prophet. This is he of whom it is written: Behold, I send my messenger who shall prepare the way before thee.

And by seeing ye shall see and shall not perceive.

 Matthew 13:14, Jesus, Jesian, Jes'ian

They do not see or hear for fear they will be converted and have to change their hearts.

 Matthew 10:27, Jesus, Jesian, Jes'ian 

But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.

 Matthew 13:16, Jesus, Jesian, Jes'ian

When any one hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the wicked one snatches away all that was sown in his heart. This is the one who received seed by the wayside.

 Matthew 13:19, Jesus, Jesian, Jes'ian 

Now he who received the seed in the stony places, received the word with joy. But he has no deep root and endures only for a while. When tribulation or persecution arises he is uprooted.

 Matthew 13:20, Jesus, Jesian, Jes'ian
