John 1:36-39
1:36 Gazing at Jesus as he walked by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
1:37 When John’s
two disciples heard him say this,
they followed Jesus.
1:38 Jesus turned around and saw them following and said to them, “What do you want?”
So they said to him, “Rabbi” (which is translated Teacher),
“where are you staying?”
1:39 Jesus
answered,
“Come and you will see.” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. Now it was about four o’clock in the afternoon.

6:40 For this is the will of my Father – for everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him to have eternal life, and I will raise him up
at the last day.”

and have come to worship him.”
Matthew 8:9-12
8:9 For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me.
I say to this one, ‘Go’ and he goes,
and to another ‘Come’ and he comes, and to my slave
‘Do this’ and he does it.”
8:10 When
Jesus heard this he was amazed and said to those who followed him, “I tell you the truth,
I have not found such faith in anyone in Israel!
8:11 I tell you, many will come from the east and west to share the banquet
with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
in the kingdom of heaven,
8:12 but the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Matthew 12:19-21
12:19 He will not quarrel or cry out,
nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
12:20 He will not break a bruised reed or extinguish a smoldering wick,
until he brings justice to victory.
12:21 And in his name the Gentiles will hope.”
Matthew 15:22-28
15:22 A
Canaanite woman from that area came
and cried out,
“Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is horribly demon-possessed!”
15:23 But he did not answer her a word. Then
his disciples came and begged him,
“Send her away, because she keeps on crying out after us.”
15:24 So
he answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
15:25 But she came and bowed down
before him and said,
“Lord, help me!”
15:26 “It is not right
to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs,”
he said.
15:27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied,
“but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”
15:28 Then
Jesus answered her, “Woman,
your faith is great! Let what you want be done for you.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
Luke 19:2-4
19:2 Now
a man named Zacchaeus was there; he was a chief tax collector
and was rich.
19:3 He
was trying to get a look at Jesus,
but being a short man he could not see over the crowd.
19:4 So
he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree
to see him, because Jesus
was going to pass that way.
Romans 15:8-12
15:8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised
on behalf of God’s truth to confirm the promises made to the fathers,
15:9 and thus the Gentiles glorify God for his mercy.
As it is written, “
Because of this I will confess you among the Gentiles, and I will sing praises to your name.”
15:10 And again it says: “
Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”
15:11 And again, “
Praise the Lord all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him.”
15:12 And again Isaiah says, “
The root of Jesse will come, and the one who rises to rule over the Gentiles, in him will the Gentiles hope.”
