Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:4 - All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:27 - At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:14 - and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:2 - He was with God in the beginning.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:9 - The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:18 - No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and[fn] is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:27 - He is the one who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:45 - Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:51 - He then added, “Very truly I tell you,[fn] you[fn] will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on'[fn] the Son of Man.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:2 - and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:6 - Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:9 - and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:10 - and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:19 - Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:13 - No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:14 - Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:17 - For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:19 - This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:26 - They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan—the one you testified about—look, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:35 - The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:36 - Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:14 - but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:16 - He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:38 - I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:39 - Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:41 - And because of his words many more became believers.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:47 - When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:8 - Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:9 - At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:10 - and so the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:11 - But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:16 - So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:18 - For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:19 - Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:20 - For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:23 - that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:24 - “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:38 - nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:45 - “But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:10 - Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there).
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:14 - After the people saw the sign Jesus performed, they began to say, “Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:19 - When they had rowed about three or four miles,[fn] they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were frightened.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:23 - Then some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:24 - Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:32 - Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:34 - “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:37 - All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:40 - For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:42 - They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:46 - No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:51 - I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:57 - Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:58 - This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:62 - Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before!
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:71 - (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:12 - Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others replied, “No, he deceives the people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:13 - But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:19 - Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:33 - Jesus said, “I am with you for only a short time, and then I am going to the one who sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:49 - No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law—there is a curse on them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:51 - “Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:53 - Then they all went home,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:19 - Then they asked him, “Where is your father?” “You do not know me or my Father,” Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:26 - “I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is trustworthy, and what I have heard from him I tell the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:27 - They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:28 - So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up[fn] the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:35 - Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:41 - You are doing the works of your own father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:43 - Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:49 - “I am not possessed by a demon,” said Jesus, “but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:51 - Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:52 - At this they exclaimed, “Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that whoever obeys your word will never taste death.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:55 - Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:6 - After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:11 - He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:14 - Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man's eyes was a Sabbath.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:24 - A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God by telling the truth,” they said. “We know this man is a sinner.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:35 - Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:39 - Jesus said,[fn]“For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:12 - The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:15 - just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:28 - I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:36 - what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God's Son'?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:40 - Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. There he stayed,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:2 - (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:5 - Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:21 - “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:22 - But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:26 - and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:27 - “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:39 - “Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:41 - So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:42 - I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:48 - If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:56 - They kept looking for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple courts they asked one another, “What do you think? Isn't he coming to the festival at all?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:9 - Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:10 - So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:11 - for on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:17 - Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:21 - They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:34 - The crowd spoke up, “We have heard from the Law that the Messiah will remain forever, so how can you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this ‘Son of Man'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:44 - Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:45 - The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:46 - I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:47 - “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:48 - There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:1 - It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:3 - Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:5 - After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:8 - “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:11 - For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:18 - “I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture: ‘He who shared my bread has turned[fn] against me.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:20 - Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:1 - “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God[fn]; believe also in me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:6 - Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:7 - If you really know me, you will know[fn] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:8 - Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:9 - Jesus answered: “Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father'?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:12 - Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:16 - And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:23 - Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:28 - “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:31 - but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me. “Come now; let us leave.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:3 - You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:16 - You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:20 - Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.'[fn] If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:21 - They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:23 - Whoever hates me hates my Father as well.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:24 - If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:3 - They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:5 - but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?'
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:8 - When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:10 - about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:17 - At this, some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,' and ‘Because I am going to the Father'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:21 - A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:23 - In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:26 - In that day you will ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:28 - I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:33 - “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:1 - After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:3 - Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:5 - And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:6 - “I have revealed you[fn] to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:14 - I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:18 - As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:2 - Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:5 - “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:7 - Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:10 - Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:12 - Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:16 - but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:19 - Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:24 - Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:28 - Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace, because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:31 - Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.” “But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:33 - Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:37 - “You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:39 - But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:40 - They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:1 - Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:5 - When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:7 - The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:8 - When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:13 - When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge's seat at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha).
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:15 - But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!” “Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:17 - Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha).
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:18 - There they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:20 - Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:23 - When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:24 - “Let's not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let's decide by lot who will get it.” This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled that said, “They divided my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment.”[fn] So this is what the soldiers did.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:26 - When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman,[fn] here is your son,”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:31 - Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:33 - But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:38 - Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate's permission, he came and took the body away.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:42 - Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:1 - Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:2 - So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:13 - They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don't know where they have put him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:14 - At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:17 - Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:18 - Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:19 - On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:20 - After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:25 - So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:27 - Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:4 - Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:7 - Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:13 - Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:19 - Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:20 - Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:25 - Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:1 - In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:10 - They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:11 - “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:17 - He was one of our number and shared in our ministry.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:23 - So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:25 - to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:2 - Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:5 - Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:22 - “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:25 - David said about him: “ ‘I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:27 - because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, you will not let your holy one see decay.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:30 - But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:32 - God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:36 - “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:37 - When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:41 - Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:47 - praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:8 - He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:9 - When all the people saw him walking and praising God,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:11 - While the man held on to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon's Colonnade.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:12 - When Peter saw this, he said to them: “Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:13 - The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:14 - You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:15 - You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:18 - But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Messiah would suffer.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:20 - and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:26 - When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:1 - The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:2 - They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:4 - But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew to about five thousand.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:12 - Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:14 - But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:17 - But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:21 - After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people were praising God for what had happened.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:24 - When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:27 - Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:29 - Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:31 - After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:9 - Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:10 - At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:21 - At daybreak they entered the temple courts, as they had been told, and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they called together the Sanhedrin—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:25 - Then someone came and said, “Look! The men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:26 - At that, the captain went with his officers and brought the apostles. They did not use force, because they feared that the people would stone them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:42 - Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:2 - So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:11 - Then they secretly persuaded some men to say, “We have heard Stephen speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:12 - So they stirred up the people and the elders and the teachers of the law. They seized Stephen and brought him before the Sanhedrin.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:14 - For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs Moses handed down to us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:4 - “So he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Harran. After the death of his father, God sent him to this land where you are now living.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:8 - Then he gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision. And Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him eight days after his birth. Later Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:9 - “Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:10 - and rescued him from all his troubles. He gave Joseph wisdom and enabled him to gain the goodwill of Pharaoh king of Egypt. So Pharaoh made him ruler over Egypt and all his palace.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:14 - After this, Joseph sent for his father Jacob and his whole family, seventy-five in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:18 - Then ‘a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:24 - He saw one of them being mistreated by an Egyptian, so he went to his defense and avenged him by killing the Egyptian.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:27 - “But the man who was mistreating the other pushed Moses aside and said, ‘Who made you ruler and judge over us?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:28 - Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:35 - “This is the same Moses they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?' He was sent to be their ruler and deliverer by God himself, through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:44 - “Our ancestors had the tabernacle of the covenant law with them in the wilderness. It had been made as God directed Moses, according to the pattern he had seen.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:53 - you who have received the law that was given through angels but have not obeyed it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:55 - But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:56 - “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:59 - While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:2 - Godly men buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:4 - Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:5 - Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah there.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:14 - When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to Samaria.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:24 - Then Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:25 - After they had further proclaimed the word of the Lord and testified about Jesus, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many Samaritan villages.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:28 - and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:30 - Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:31 - “How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:35 - Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:39 - When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:20 - At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:27 - But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:35 - All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:40 - Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, “Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:42 - This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:2 - He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:11 - He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:16 - This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:17 - While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found out where Simon's house was and stopped at the gate.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:22 - The men replied, “We have come from Cornelius the centurion. He is a righteous and God-fearing man, who is respected by all the Jewish people. A holy angel told him to ask you to come to his house so that he could hear what you have to say.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:25 - As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:36 - You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:38 - how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:43 - All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:44 - While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:46 - For they heard them speaking in tongues[fn] and praising God. Then Peter said,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:1 - The apostles and the believers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:10 - This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:12 - The Spirit told me to have no hesitation about going with them. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man's house.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:13 - He told us how he had seen an angel appear in his house and say, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:17 - So if God gave them the same gift he gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God's way?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:18 - When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:19 - Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that broke out when Stephen was killed traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, spreading the word only among Jews.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:20 - Some of them, however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:21 - The Lord's hand was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:1 - It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:50 - But the Jewish leaders incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:51 - So they shook the dust off their feet as a warning to them and went to Iconium.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:8 - When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:10 - As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:11 - Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:15 - Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:18 - A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to debate with him.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:19 - Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus, where they said to him, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:1 - While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:13 - Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, “In the name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.”

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:12 - The people took the young man home alive and were greatly comforted.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:21 - I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:24 - However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:37 - They all wept as they embraced him and kissed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:3 - After sighting Cyprus and passing to the south of it, we sailed on to Syria. We landed at Tyre, where our ship was to unload its cargo.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:11 - Coming over to us, he took Paul's belt, tied his own hands and feet with it and said, “The Holy Spirit says, ‘In this way the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:20 - When they heard this, they praised God. Then they said to Paul: “You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:24 - Take these men, join in their purification rites and pay their expenses, so that they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know there is no truth in these reports about you, but that you yourself are living in obedience to the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:27 - When the seven days were nearly over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:28 - shouting, “Fellow Israelites, help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people and our law and this place. And besides, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:29 - (They had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with Paul and assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple.)
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:32 - He at once took some officers and soldiers and ran down to the crowd. When the rioters saw the commander and his soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:22 - The crowd listened to Paul until he said this. Then they raised their voices and shouted, “Rid the earth of him! He's not fit to live!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:23 - As they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and flinging dust into the air,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:25 - As they stretched him out to flog him, Paul said to the centurion standing there, “Is it legal for you to flog a Roman citizen who hasn't even been found guilty?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:30 - The commander wanted to find out exactly why Paul was being accused by the Jews. So the next day he released him and ordered the chief priests and all the members of the Sanhedrin to assemble. Then he brought Paul and had him stand before them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:3 - Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit there to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:4 - Those who were standing near Paul said, “How dare you insult God's high priest!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:12 - The next morning some Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:17 - Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; he has something to tell him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:18 - So he took him to the commander. The centurion said, “Paul, the prisoner, sent for me and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:20 - He said: “Some Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul before the Sanhedrin tomorrow on the pretext of wanting more accurate information about him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:22 - The commander dismissed the young man with this warning: “Don't tell anyone that you have reported this to me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:24 - Provide horses for Paul so that he may be taken safely to Governor Felix.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:25 - He wrote a letter as follows:
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:27 - This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him, but I came with my troops and rescued him, for I had learned that he is a Roman citizen.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:30 - When I was informed of a plot to be carried out against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also ordered his accusers to present to you their case against him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:31 - So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul with them during the night and brought him as far as Antipatris.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:33 - When the cavalry arrived in Caesarea, they delivered the letter to the governor and handed Paul over to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:5 - “We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:14 - However, I admit that I worship the God of our ancestors as a follower of the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:15 - and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:16 - So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:24 - Several days later Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish. He sent for Paul and listened to him as he spoke about faith in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:27 - When two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, but because Felix wanted to grant a favor to the Jews, he left Paul in prison.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:4 - Festus answered, “Paul is being held at Caesarea, and I myself am going there soon.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:6 - After spending eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he convened the court and ordered that Paul be brought before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:8 - Then Paul made his defense: “I have done nothing wrong against the Jewish law or against the temple or against Caesar.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:13 - A few days later King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to pay their respects to Festus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:14 - Since they were spending many days there, Festus discussed Paul's case with the king. He said: “There is a man here whom Felix left as a prisoner.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:17 - When they came here with me, I did not delay the case, but convened the court the next day and ordered the man to be brought in.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:22 - Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear this man myself.” He replied, “Tomorrow you will hear him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:25 - I found he had done nothing deserving of death, but because he made his appeal to the Emperor I decided to send him to Rome.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:1 - Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You have permission to speak for yourself.” So Paul motioned with his hand and began his defense:
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:18 - to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:20 - First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:28 - Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:10 - “Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss to ship and cargo, and to our own lives also.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:38 - When they had eaten as much as they wanted, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:40 - Cutting loose the anchors, they left them in the sea and at the same time untied the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:43 - But the centurion wanted to spare Paul's life and kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:2 - The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:7 - There was an estate nearby that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us to his home and showed us generous hospitality for three days.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:8 - His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed his hands on him and healed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:26 - “ ‘Go to this people and say, “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:21 - For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:25 - They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:28 - Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:1 - You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:23 - You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:27 - The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the[fn] written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:6 - Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:11 - there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:26 - he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:1 - What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:5 - However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:6 - David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:24 - but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:1 - Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[fn] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:12 - Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:3 - Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:4 - We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:22 - But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:21 - So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:22 - For in my inner being I delight in God's law;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:3 - For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[fn] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[fn] And so he condemned sin in the flesh,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:11 - And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of[fn] his Spirit who lives in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:20 - For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:28 - And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[fn] have been called according to his purpose.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:9 - For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:13 - Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:23 - What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory—
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:25 - As he says in Hosea: “I will call them ‘my people' who are not my people; and I will call her ‘my loved one' who is not my loved one,”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:1 - Brothers and sisters, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:6 - But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?' ”[fn] (that is, to bring Christ down)
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:21 - But concerning Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:1 - I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:2 - God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don't you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:10 - May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:7 - Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:8 - Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:9 - The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,”[fn] and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:11 - And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:14 - Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:1 - Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:3 - The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:10 - You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister[fn]? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:6 - so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:9 - and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing the praises of your name.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:11 - And again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; let all the peoples extol him.”[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:28 - So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this contribution, I will go to Spain and visit you on the way.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:30 - I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:4 - They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:5 - Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia.

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:9 - Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ, and my dear friend Stachys.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:16 - (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.)

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:11 - For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:19 - But I will come to you very soon, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:3 - For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus on the one who has been doing this.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:5 - hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh,[fn][fn] so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:13 - God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:1 - If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord's people?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:2 - Or do you not know that the Lord's people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:14 - By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:20 - you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:2 - But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:13 - And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:16 - How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:31 - those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:3 - But whoever loves God is known by God.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:10 - For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol's temple, won't that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:9 - We should not test Christ,[fn] as some of them did—and were killed by snakes.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:16 - Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:18 - Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:22 - Are we trying to arouse the Lord's jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:28 - But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:9 - neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:26 - For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:27 - So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:16 - Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer,[fn] say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:15 - More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised.

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:17 - Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:4 - Such confidence we have through Christ before God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:2 - Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:4 - The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:7 - But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:14 - because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself.

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:19 - that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:21 - God made him who had no sin to be sin[fn] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:7 - and not only by his coming but also by the comfort you had given him. He told us about your longing for me, your deep sorrow, your ardent concern for me, so that my joy was greater than ever.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:18 - And we are sending along with him the brother who is praised by all the churches for his service to the gospel.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:22 - In addition, we are sending with them our brother who has often proved to us in many ways that he is zealous, and now even more so because of his great confidence in you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:9 - As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:10 - Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:13 - Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:15 - Neither do we go beyond our limits by boasting of work done by others. Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow, our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:3 - But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:2 - I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:3 - And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows—
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:4 - was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:8 - Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:18 - I urged Titus to go to you and I sent our brother with him. Titus did not exploit you, did he? Did we not walk in the same footsteps by the same Spirit?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:7 - Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not so that people will see that we have stood the test but so that you will do what is right even though we may seem to have failed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:10 - Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:14 - and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:21 - Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says?
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:27 - For it is written: “Be glad, barren woman, you who never bore a child; shout for joy and cry aloud, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:29 - At that time the son born according to the flesh persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:30 - But what does Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:3 - Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:14 - For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:15 - by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:18 - For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:14 - For this reason I kneel before the Father,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:16 - I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:17 - so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:12 - to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:20 - That, however, is not the way of life you learned
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:22 - You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;

Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:2 - “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:14 - Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:24 - Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:14 - And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:15 - It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:17 - The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:30 - since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:25 - But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co-worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs.

Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:23 - if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:25 - I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness—
