How evil and godless are the people of this day! You ask me for a miracle? No! The only miracle you will be given is the miracle of Jonah." So he left them and went away.

I tell you indeed: the punishment for all these murders will fall on the people of this day!

So Moses and Aaron went to the king and said to him, "The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says, 'How much longer will you refuse to submit to me? Let my people go, so that they may worship me.

Then the LORD said to Moses, "How much longer will you people refuse to obey my commands?

The LORD said to Moses, "How much longer will these people reject me? How much longer will they refuse to trust in me, even though I have performed so many miracles among them?

"How much longer are these wicked people going to complain against me? I have heard enough of these complaints!

There they put me to the test and tried me, says God, although they had seen what I did for forty years.

I was angry and made a solemn promise: 'They will never enter the land where I would have given them rest!' "

When the prophet Elisha heard what had happened, he sent word to the king: "Why are you so upset? Send the man to me, and I'll show him that there is a prophet in Israel!"

"Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.

When Jesus noticed this, he was angry and said to his disciples, "Let the children come to me, and do not stop them, because the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called the blind man. "Cheer up!" they said. "Get up, he is calling you."
