Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:8 - Then Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:48 - “Is there a single one of us rulers or Pharisees who believes in him?

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:16 - Some of the Pharisees said, “This man Jesus is not from God, for he is working on the Sabbath.” Others said, “But how could an ordinary sinner do such miraculous signs?” So there was a deep division of opinion among them.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:9 - When all the people[fn] heard of Jesus' arrival, they flocked to see him and also to see Lazarus, the man Jesus had raised from the dead.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:28 - None of the others at the table knew what Jesus meant.

“No,” he said, “I am not.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:19 - Inside, the high priest began asking Jesus about his followers and what he had been teaching them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:22 - Then one of the Temple guards standing nearby slapped Jesus across the face. “Is that the way to answer the high priest?” he demanded.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:25 - Meanwhile, as Simon Peter was standing by the fire warming himself, they asked him again, “You're not one of his disciples, are you?”

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:26 - But one of the household slaves of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Didn't I see you out there in the olive grove with Jesus?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:33 - Then Pilate went back into his headquarters and called for Jesus to be brought to him. “Are you the king of the Jews?” he asked him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:39 - But you have a custom of asking me to release one prisoner each year at Passover. Would you like me to release this ‘King of the Jews'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:3 - “Hail! King of the Jews!” they mocked, as they slapped him across the face.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:13 - When they said this, Pilate brought Jesus out to them again. Then Pilate sat down on the judgment seat on the platform that is called the Stone Pavement (in Hebrew, Gabbatha).

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:38 - Afterward Joseph of Arimathea, who had been a secret disciple of Jesus (because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate for permission to take down Jesus' body. When Pilate gave permission, Joseph came and took the body away.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:42 - And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover[fn] and since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:29 - If the dead will not be raised, what point is there in people being baptized for those who are dead? Why do it unless the dead will someday rise again?

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:6 - Most of you opposed him, and that was punishment enough.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:4 - Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:12 - Oh, don't worry; we wouldn't dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:5 - But I don't consider myself inferior in any way to these “super apostles” who teach such things.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:12 - But I will continue doing what I have always done. This will undercut those who are looking for an opportunity to boast that their work is just like ours.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:19 - After all, you think you are so wise, but you enjoy putting up with fools!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:11 - You have made me act like a fool—boasting like this.[fn] You ought to be writing commendations for me, for I am not at all inferior to these “super apostles,” even though I am nothing at all.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:21 - Yes, I am afraid that when I come again, God will humble me in your presence. And I will be grieved because many of you have not given up your old sins. You have not repented of your impurity, sexual immorality, and eagerness for lustful pleasure.

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:19 - The only other apostle I met at that time was James, the Lord's brother.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:20 - But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk!

all who have caused destruction on the earth.”

“It has come at last—
salvation and power

has been thrown down to earth—
the one who accuses them
before our God day and night.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:12 - This means that God's holy people must endure persecution patiently, obeying his commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:13 - And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this down: Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for their good deeds follow them!”

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:1 - One of the seven angels who had poured out the seven bowls came over and spoke to me. “Come with me,” he said, “and I will show you the judgment that is going to come on the great prostitute, who rules over many waters.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:6 - I could see that she was drunk—drunk with the blood of God's holy people who were witnesses for Jesus. I stared at her in complete amazement.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:11 - “The scarlet beast that was, but is no longer, is the eighth king. He is like the other seven, and he, too, is headed for destruction.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:18 - And this woman you saw in your vision represents the great city that rules over the kings of the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:24 - In your[fn] streets flowed the blood of the prophets and of God's holy people
and the blood of people slaughtered all over the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:2 - His judgments are true and just.
He has punished the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her immorality.
He has avenged the murder of his servants.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:3 - And again their voices rang out:
“Praise the LORD!
The smoke from that city ascends forever and ever!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:8 - She has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear.”
For the fine linen represents the good deeds of God's holy people.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:10 - Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said, “No, don't worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters[fn] who testify about their faith in Jesus. Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:18 - Come and eat the flesh of kings, generals, and strong warriors; of horses and their riders; and of all humanity, both free and slave, small and great.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:4 - Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their forehead or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:5 - This is the first resurrection. (The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years had ended.)
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:9 - And I saw them as they went up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded God's people and the beloved city. But fire from heaven came down on the attacking armies and consumed them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:10 - Then the devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:3 - I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God's home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:4 - He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:9 - Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come with me! I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
