Quotes About Faith

Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

Why do you call Me ëLord, Lord,í but not do what I say?

I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:

He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”

When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.

That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”

And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.
