Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:8 - 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:9 - and they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:13 - And he replied, "Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:15 - He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:16 - Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:23 - But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, because you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but on man's."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:26 - For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:2 - And he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:4 - So Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, I will make three shelters - one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:8 - When they looked up, all they saw was Jesus alone.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:11 - He answered, "Elijah does indeed come first and will restore all things.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:12 - And I tell you that Elijah has already come. Yet they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted. In the same way, the Son of Man will suffer at their hands."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:17 - Jesus answered, "You unbelieving and perverse generation! How much longer must I be with you? How much longer must I endure you? Bring him here to me."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:20 - He told them, "It was because of your little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; nothing will be impossible for you."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:22 - When they gathered together in Galilee, Jesus told them, "The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:24 - After they arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the temple tax came to Peter and said, "Your teacher pays the double drachma tax, doesn't he?"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:27 - But so that we don't offend them, go to the lake and throw out a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth, you will find a four drachma coin. Take that and give it to them for me and you."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:8 - If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:15 - "If your brother sins, go and show him his fault when the two of you are alone. If he listens to you, you have regained your brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:16 - But if he does not listen, take one or two others with you, so that at the testimony of two or three witnesses every matter may be established.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:17 - If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. If he refuses to listen to the church, treat him like a Gentile or a tax collector.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:24 - As he began settling his accounts, a man who owed ten thousand talents was brought to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:25 - Because he was not able to repay it, the lord ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, children, and whatever he possessed, and repayment to be made.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:27 - The lord had compassion on that slave and released him, and forgave him the debt.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:28 - After he went out, that same slave found one of his fellow slaves who owed him one hundred silver coins. So he grabbed him by the throat and started to choke him, saying, 'Pay back what you owe me!'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:30 - But he refused. Instead, he went out and threw him in prison until he repaid the debt.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:31 - When his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were very upset and went and told their lord everything that had taken place.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:4 - He answered, "Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator made them male and female,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:8 - Jesus said to them, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hard hearts, but from the beginning it was not this way.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:9 - Now I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another commits adultery."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:11 - He said to them, "Not everyone can accept this statement, except those to whom it has been given.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:13 - Then little children were brought to him for him to lay his hands on them and pray. But the disciples scolded those who brought them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:14 - But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:17 - He said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:18 - "Which ones?" he asked. Jesus replied, "Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:22 - But when the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he was very rich.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:23 - Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven!
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:24 - Again I say, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:25 - The disciples were greatly astonished when they heard this and said, "Then who can be saved?"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:26 - Jesus looked at them and replied, "This is impossible for mere humans, but for God all things are possible."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:28 - Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth: In the age when all things are renewed, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:30 - But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:2 - And after agreeing with the workers for the standard wage, he sent them into his vineyard.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:6 - And about five o'clock that afternoon he went out and found others standing around, and said to them, 'Why are you standing here all day without work?'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:8 - When it was evening the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, 'Call the workers and give the pay starting with the last hired until the first.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:10 - And when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more. But each one also received the standard wage.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:11 - When they received it, they began to complain against the landowner,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:13 - And the landowner replied to one of them, 'Friend, I am not treating you unfairly. Didn't you agree with me to work for the standard wage?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:14 - Take what is yours and go. I want to give to this last man the same as I gave to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:16 - So the last will be first, and the first last."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:21 - He said to her, "What do you want?" She replied, "Permit these two sons of mine to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:22 - Jesus answered, "You don't know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup I am about to drink?" They said to him, "We are able."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:23 - He told them, "You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right and at my left is not mine to give. Rather, it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:25 - But Jesus called them and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions use their authority over them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:31 - The crowd scolded them to get them to be quiet. But they shouted even more loudly, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:34 - Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:3 - If anyone says anything to you, you are to say, 'The Lord needs them,' and he will send them at once."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:4 - This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet:
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:6 - So the disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:8 - A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:9 - The crowds that went ahead of him and those following kept shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:11 - And the crowds were saying, "This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:13 - And he said to them, "It is written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are turning it into a den of robbers!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:15 - But when the chief priests and the experts in the law saw the wonderful things he did and heard the children crying out in the temple courts, "Hosanna to the Son of David," they became indignant
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:16 - and said to him, "Do you hear what they are saying?" Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of children and nursing infants you have prepared praise for yourself'?"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:18 - Now early in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:21 - Jesus answered them, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' it will happen.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:24 - Jesus answered them, "I will also ask you one question. If you answer me then I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:25 - Where did John's baptism come from? From heaven or from people?" They discussed this among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:26 - But if we say, 'From people,' we fear the crowd, for they all consider John to be a prophet."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:28 - "What do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, 'Son, go and work in the vineyard today.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:29 - The boy answered, 'I will not.' But later he had a change of heart and went.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:30 - The father went to the other son and said the same thing. This boy answered, 'I will, sir,' but did not go.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:32 - For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and prostitutes did believe. Although you saw this, you did not later change your minds and believe him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:34 - When the harvest time was near, he sent his slaves to the tenants to collect his portion of the crop.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:35 - But the tenants seized his slaves, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:37 - Finally he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:38 - But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him and get his inheritance!'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:5 - But they were indifferent and went away, one to his farm, another to his business.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:6 - The rest seized his slaves, insolently mistreated them, and killed them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:7 - The king was furious! He sent his soldiers, and they put those murderers to death and set their city on fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:8 - Then he said to his slaves, 'The wedding is ready, but the ones who had been invited were not worthy.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:11 - But when the king came in to see the wedding guests, he saw a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:12 - And he said to him, 'Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?' But he had nothing to say.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:14 - For many are called, but few are chosen."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:18 - But Jesus realized their evil intentions and said, "Hypocrites! Why are you testing me?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:19 - Show me the coin used for the tax." So they brought him a denarius.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:25 - Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children he left his wife to his brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:27 - Last of all, the woman died.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:29 - Jesus answered them, "You are deceived, because you don't know the scriptures or the power of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:31 - Now as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:34 - Now when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled together.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:37 - Jesus said to him, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:39 - The second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:41 - While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them a question:
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:3 - Therefore pay attention to what they tell you and do it. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they teach.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:4 - They tie up heavy loads, hard to carry, and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing even to lift a finger to move them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:5 - They do all their deeds to be seen by people, for they make their phylacteries wide and their tassels long.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:8 - But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for you have one Teacher and you are all brothers.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:11 - The greatest among you will be your servant.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:12 - And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:24 - Blind guides! You strain out a gnat yet swallow a camel!
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:25 - "Woe to you, experts in the law and you Pharisees, hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:27 - "Woe to you, experts in the law and you Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs that look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of the bones of the dead and of everything unclean.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:2 - And he said to them, "Do you see all these things? I tell you the truth, not one stone will be left on another. All will be torn down!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:3 - As he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately and said, "Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:6 - You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. Make sure that you are not alarmed, for this must happen, but the end is still to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:8 - All these things are the beginning of birth pains.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:13 - But the person who endures to the end will be saved.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:19 - Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days!
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:20 - Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:22 - And if those days had not been cut short, no one would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:29 - "Immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:32 - "Learn this parable from the fig tree: Whenever its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:35 - Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:36 - "But as for that day and hour no one knows it - not even the angels in heaven - except the Father alone.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:37 - For just like the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:43 - But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have been alert and would not have let his house be broken into.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:48 - But if that evil slave should say to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time,'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:49 - and he begins to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with drunkards,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:2 - Five of the virgins were foolish, and five were wise.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:4 - But the wise ones took flasks of olive oil with their lamps.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:5 - When the bridegroom was delayed a long time, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:6 - But at midnight there was a shout, 'Look, the bridegroom is here! Come out to meet him.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:8 - The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:9 - 'No,' they replied. 'There won't be enough for you and for us. Go instead to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:10 - But while they had gone to buy it, the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went inside with him to the wedding banquet. Then the door was shut.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:11 - Later, the other virgins came too, saying, 'Lord, lord! Let us in!'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:12 - But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I do not know you!'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:15 - To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:18 - But the one who had received one talent went out and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money in it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:19 - After a long time, the master of those slaves came and settled his accounts with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:22 - The one with the two talents also came and said, 'Sir, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:24 - Then the one who had received the one talent came and said, 'Sir, I knew that you were a hard man, harvesting where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:26 - But his master answered, 'Evil and lazy slave! So you knew that I harvest where I didn't sow and gather where I didn't scatter?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:29 - For the one who has will be given more, and he will have more than enough. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:31 - "When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:33 - He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:46 - And these will depart into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:6 - Now while Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:8 - When the disciples saw this, they became indignant and said, "Why this waste?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:10 - When Jesus learned of this, he said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a good service for me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:11 - For you will always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me!
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:15 - and said, "What will you give me to betray him into your hands?" So they set out thirty silver coins for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:17 - Now on the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:18 - He said, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says, "My time is near. I will observe the Passover with my disciples at your house."'"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:20 - When it was evening, he took his place at the table with the twelve.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:23 - He answered, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:24 - The Son of Man will go as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had never been born."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:25 - Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely not I, Rabbi?" Jesus replied, "You have said it yourself."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:26 - While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it, gave it to his disciples, and said, "Take, eat, this is my body."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:29 - I tell you, from now on I will not drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:32 - But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:33 - Peter said to him, "If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:41 - Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:48 - (Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him!")
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:50 - Jesus said to him, "Friend, do what you are here to do." Then they came and took hold of Jesus and arrested him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:56 - But this has happened so that the scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled." Then all the disciples left him and fled.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:57 - Now the ones who had arrested Jesus led him to Caiaphas, the high priest, in whose house the experts in the law and the elders had gathered.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:58 - But Peter was following him from a distance, all the way to the high priest's courtyard. After going in, he sat with the guards to see the outcome.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:59 - The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were trying to find false testimony against Jesus so that they could put him to death.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:60 - But they did not find anything, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:63 - But Jesus was silent. The high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:66 - What is your verdict?" They answered, "He is guilty and deserves death."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:67 - Then they spat in his face and struck him with their fists. And some slapped him,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:69 - Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A slave girl came to him and said, "You also were with Jesus the Galilean."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:70 - But he denied it in front of them all: "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:71 - When he went out to the gateway, another slave girl saw him and said to the people there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:73 - After a little while, those standing there came up to Peter and said, "You really are one of them too - even your accent gives you away!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:1 - When it was early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people plotted against Jesus to execute him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:4 - saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood!" But they said, "What is that to us? You take care of it yourself!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:6 - The chief priests took the silver and said, "It is not lawful to put this into the temple treasury, since it is blood money."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:7 - After consulting together they bought the Potter's Field with it, as a burial place for foreigners.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:11 - Then Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You say so."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:15 - During the feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd, whomever they wanted.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:16 - At that time they had in custody a notorious prisoner named Jesus Barabbas.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:19 - As he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent a message to him: "Have nothing to do with that innocent man; I have suffered greatly as a result of a dream about him today."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:20 - But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:21 - The governor asked them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barabbas!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:23 - He asked, "Why? What wrong has he done?" But they shouted more insistently, "Crucify him!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:24 - When Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but that instead a riot was starting, he took some water, washed his hands before the crowd and said, "I am innocent of this man's blood. You take care of it yourselves!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:26 - Then he released Barabbas for them. But after he had Jesus flogged, he handed him over to be crucified.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:32 - As they were going out, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced to carry his cross.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:35 - When they had crucified him, they divided his clothes by throwing dice.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:39 - Those who passed by defamed him, shaking their heads
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:41 - In the same way even the chief priests - together with the experts in the law and elders - were mocking him:
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:45 - Now from noon until three, darkness came over all the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:46 - At about three o'clock Jesus shouted with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:47 - When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, "This man is calling for Elijah."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:49 - But the rest said, "Leave him alone! Let's see if Elijah will come to save him."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:50 - Then Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:54 - Now when the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and what took place, they were extremely terrified and said, "Truly this one was God's Son!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:55 - Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and given him support were also there, watching from a distance.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:57 - Now when it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:61 - (Now Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there, opposite the tomb.)
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:62 - The next day (which is after the day of preparation) the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled before Pilate
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:65 - Pilate said to them, "Take a guard of soldiers. Go and make it as secure as you can."
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:66 - So they went with the soldiers of the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:1 - Now after the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:3 - His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:4 - The guards were shaken and became like dead men because they were so afraid of him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:5 - But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:9 - But Jesus met them, saying, "Greetings!" They came to him, held on to his feet and worshiped him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:11 - While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests everything that had happened.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:15 - So they took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story is told among the Jews to this day.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:13 - Jesus gave them permission. So the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs. Then the herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake, and about two thousand were drowned in the lake.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:14 - Now the herdsmen ran off and spread the news in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:19 - But Jesus did not permit him to do so. Instead, he said to him, "Go to your home and to your people and tell them what the Lord has done for you, that he had mercy on you."
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:33 - Then the woman, with fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:5 - He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" They replied, "Seven."

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:9 - As they were coming down from the mountain, he gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:12 - He said to them, "Elijah does indeed come first, and restores all things. And why is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be despised?

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:32 - But they did not understand this statement and were afraid to ask him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:34 - But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:39 - But Jesus said, "Do not stop him, because no one who does a miracle in my name will be able soon afterward to say anything bad about me.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:14 - But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:22 - But at this statement, the man looked sad and went away sorrowful, for he was very rich.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:24 - The disciples were astonished at these words. But again Jesus said to them, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:26 - They were even more astonished and said to one another, "Then who can be saved?"
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:27 - Jesus looked at them and replied, "This is impossible for mere humans, but not for God; all things are possible for God."
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:29 - Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, there is no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the gospel

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:32 - They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem. Jesus was going ahead of them, and they were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was going to happen to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:36 - He said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:37 - They said to him, "Permit one of us to sit at your right hand and the other at your left in your glory."
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:38 - But Jesus said to them, "You don't know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I experience?"
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:39 - They said to him, "We are able." Then Jesus said to them, "You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism I experience,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:40 - but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give. It is for those for whom it has been prepared."
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:42 - Jesus called them and said to them, "You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions use their authority over them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:48 - Many scolded him to get him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:50 - He threw off his cloak, jumped up, and came to Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:51 - Then Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man replied, "Rabbi, let me see again."
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:52 - Jesus said to him, "Go, your faith has healed you." Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the road.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:4 - So they went and found a colt tied at a door, outside in the street, and untied it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:6 - They replied as Jesus had told them, and the bystanders let them go.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:8 - Many spread their cloaks on the road and others spread branches they had cut in the fields.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:17 - Then he began to teach them and said, "Is it not written: 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations'? But you have turned it into a den of robbers!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:29 - Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question. Answer me and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:3 - But those tenants seized his slave, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:5 - He sent another, and that one they killed. This happened to many others, some of whom were beaten, others killed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:7 - But those tenants said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him and the inheritance will be ours!'
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:14 - When they came they said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful and do not court anyone's favor, because you show no partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or shouldn't we?"
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:15 - But he saw through their hypocrisy and said to them, "Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius and let me look at it."
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:16 - So they brought one, and he said to them, "Whose image is this, and whose inscription?" They replied, "Caesar's."
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:26 - Now as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:29 - Jesus answered, "The most important is: 'Listen, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:44 - For they all gave out of their wealth. But she, out of her poverty, put in what she had to live on, everything she had."
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:5 - Jesus began to say to them, "Watch out that no one misleads you.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:7 - When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:9 - "You must watch out for yourselves. You will be handed over to councils and beaten in the synagogues. You will stand before governors and kings because of me, as a witness to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:11 - When they arrest you and hand you over for trial, do not worry about what to speak. But say whatever is given you at that time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:12 - Brother will hand over brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise against parents and have them put to death.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:14 - "But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then those in Judea must flee to the mountains.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:17 - Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days!
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:18 - Pray that it may not be in winter.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:23 - Be careful! I have told you everything ahead of time.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:28 - "Learn this parable from the fig tree: Whenever its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:32 - "But as for that day or hour no one knows it - neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son - except the Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:37 - What I say to you I say to everyone: Stay alert!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:1 - Two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the chief priests and the experts in the law were trying to find a way to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:2 - For they said, "Not during the feast, so there won't be a riot among the people."
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:6 - But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a good service for me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:7 - For you will always have the poor with you, and you can do good for them whenever you want. But you will not always have me!
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:11 - When they heard this, they were delighted and promised to give him money. So Judas began looking for an opportunity to betray him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:19 - They were distressed, and one by one said to him, "Surely not I?"
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:20 - He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who dips his hand with me into the bowl.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:21 - For the Son of Man will go as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had never been born."
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:29 - Peter said to him, "Even if they all fall away, I will not!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:31 - But Peter insisted emphatically, "Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you." And all of them said the same thing.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:38 - Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:44 - (Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him and lead him away under guard.")
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:46 - Then they took hold of him and arrested him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:52 - but he ran off naked, leaving his linen cloth behind.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:55 - The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find anything.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:61 - But he was silent and did not answer. Again the high priest questioned him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:62 - "I am," said Jesus, "and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven."
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:63 - Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "Why do we still need witnesses?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:64 - You have heard the blasphemy! What is your verdict?" They all condemned him as deserving death.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:68 - But he denied it: "I don't even understand what you're talking about!" Then he went out to the gateway, and a rooster crowed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:70 - But he denied it again. A short time later the bystanders again said to Peter, "You must be one of them, because you are also a Galilean."
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:71 - Then he began to curse, and he swore with an oath, "I do not know this man you are talking about!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:2 - So Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" He replied, "You say so."
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:4 - So Pilate asked him again, "Have you nothing to say? See how many charges they are bringing against you!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:5 - But Jesus made no further reply, so that Pilate was amazed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:6 - During the feast it was customary to release one prisoner to the people, whomever they requested.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:7 - A man named Barabbas was imprisoned with rebels who had committed murder during an insurrection.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:9 - So Pilate asked them, "Do you want me to release the king of the Jews for you?"
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:11 - But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas instead.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:12 - So Pilate spoke to them again, "Then what do you want me to do with the one you call king of the Jews?"
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:13 - They shouted back, "Crucify him!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:14 - Pilate asked them, "Why? What has he done wrong?" But they shouted more insistently, "Crucify him!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:15 - Because he wanted to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them. Then, after he had Jesus flogged, he handed him over to be crucified.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:16 - So the soldiers led him into the palace (that is, the governor's residence) and called together the whole cohort.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:23 - They offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:25 - It was nine o'clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:31 - In the same way even the chief priests - together with the experts in the law - were mocking him among themselves: "He saved others, but he cannot save himself!
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:33 - Now when it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:37 - But Jesus cried out with a loud voice and breathed his last.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:39 - Now when the centurion, who stood in front of him, saw how he died, he said, "Truly this man was God's Son!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:40 - There were also women, watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:44 - Pilate was surprised that he was already dead. He called the centurion and asked him if he had been dead for some time.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:47 - Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where the body was placed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:6 - But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has been raised! He is not here. Look, there is the place where they laid him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:8 - Then they went out and ran from the tomb, for terror and bewilderment had seized them. And they said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. [[
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:9 - Early on the first day of the week, after he arose, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had driven out seven demons.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:12 - After this he appeared in a different form to two of them while they were on their way to the country.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:16 - The one who believes and is baptized will be saved, but the one who does not believe will be condemned.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:17 - These signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages;
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:20 - They went out and proclaimed everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through the accompanying signs.]]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:6 - They were both righteous in the sight of God, following all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blamelessly.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:8 - Now while Zechariah was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:11 - An angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense, appeared to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:13 - But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son; you will name him John.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:22 - When he came out, he was not able to speak to them. They realized that he had seen a vision in the holy place, because he was making signs to them and remained unable to speak.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:24 - After some time his wife Elizabeth became pregnant, and for five months she kept herself in seclusion. She said,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:26 - In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:29 - But she was greatly troubled by his words and began to wonder about the meaning of this greeting.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:34 - Mary said to the angel, "How will this be, since I have not had sexual relations with a man?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:38 - So Mary said, "Yes, I am a servant of the Lord; let this happen to me according to your word." Then the angel departed from her.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:39 - In those days Mary got up and went hurriedly into the hill country, to a town of Judah,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:56 - So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then returned to her home.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:57 - Now the time came for Elizabeth to have her baby, and she gave birth to a son.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:62 - So they made signs to the baby's father, inquiring what he wanted to name his son.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:64 - Immediately Zechariah's mouth was opened and his tongue released, and he spoke, blessing God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:80 - And the child kept growing and becoming strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day he was revealed to Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:1 - Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus to register all the empire for taxes.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:4 - So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family line of David.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:6 - While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:17 - When they saw him, they related what they had been told about this child,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:19 - But Mary treasured up all these words, pondering in her heart what they might mean.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:35 - Indeed, as a result of him the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed - and a sword will pierce your own soul as well!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:40 - And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:44 - but (because they assumed that he was in their group of travelers) they went a day's journey. Then they began to look for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:47 - And all who heard Jesus were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:1 - In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:11 - John answered them, "The person who has two tunics must share with the person who has none, and the person who has food must do likewise."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:12 - Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what should we do?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:13 - He told them, "Collect no more than you are required to."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:14 - Then some soldiers also asked him, "And as for us - what should we do?" He told them, "Take money from no one by violence or by false accusation, and be content with your pay."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:15 - While the people were filled with anticipation and they all wondered whether perhaps John could be the Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:16 - John answered them all, "I baptize you with water, but one more powerful than I am is coming - I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:17 - His winnowing fork is in his hand to clean out his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn up with inextinguishable fire."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:19 - But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and because of all the evil deeds that he had done,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:21 - Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized. And while he was praying, the heavens opened,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:1 - Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:21 - Then he began to tell them, "Today this scripture has been fulfilled even as you heard it being read."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:25 - But in truth I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's days, when the sky was shut up three and a half years, and there was a great famine over all the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:30 - But he passed through the crowd and went on his way.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:38 - After Jesus left the synagogue, he entered Simon's house. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:39 - So he stood over her, commanded the fever, and it left her. Immediately she got up and began to serve them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:40 - As the sun was setting, all those who had any relatives sick with various diseases brought them to Jesus. He placed his hands on every one of them and healed them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:41 - Demons also came out of many, crying out, "You are the Son of God!" But he rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:42 - The next morning Jesus departed and went to a deserted place. Yet the crowds were seeking him, and they came to him and tried to keep him from leaving them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:43 - But Jesus said to them, "I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns too, for that is what I was sent to do."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:1 - Now Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing around him to hear the word of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:2 - He saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:3 - He got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then Jesus sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:4 - When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and lower your nets for a catch."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:5 - Simon answered, "Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing! But at your word I will lower the nets."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:6 - When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets started to tear.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:8 - But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:10 - and so were James and John, Zebedee's sons, who were Simon's business partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:15 - But the news about him spread even more, and large crowds were gathering together to hear him and to be healed of their illnesses.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:16 - Yet Jesus himself frequently withdrew to the wilderness and prayed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:22 - When Jesus perceived their hostile thoughts, he said to them, "Why are you raising objections within yourselves?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:24 - But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" - he said to the paralyzed man - "I tell you, stand up, take your stretcher and go home."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:33 - Then they said to him, "John's disciples frequently fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours continue to eat and drink."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:34 - So Jesus said to them, "You cannot make the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:35 - But those days are coming, and when the bridegroom is taken from them, at that time they will fast."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:36 - He also told them a parable: "No one tears a patch from a new garment and sews it on an old garment. If he does, he will have torn the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:37 - And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:1 - Jesus was going through the grain fields on a Sabbath, and his disciples picked some heads of wheat, rubbed them in their hands, and ate them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:2 - But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is against the law on the Sabbath?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:6 - On another Sabbath, Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching. Now a man was there whose right hand was withered.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:7 - The experts in the law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they could find a reason to accuse him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:8 - But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, "Get up and stand here." So he rose and stood there.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:10 - After looking around at them all, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." The man did so, and his hand was restored.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:11 - But they were filled with mindless rage and began debating with one another what they would do to Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:12 - Now it was during this time that Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and he spent all night in prayer to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:30 - Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask for your possessions back from the person who takes them away.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:39 - He also told them a parable: "Someone who is blind cannot lead another who is blind, can he? Won't they both fall into a pit?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:40 - A disciple is not greater than his teacher, but everyone when fully trained will be like his teacher.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:41 - Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye, but fail to see the beam of wood in your own?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:48 - He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep, and laid the foundation on bedrock. When a flood came, the river burst against that house but could not shake it, because it had been well built.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:49 - But the person who hears and does not put my words into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river burst against that house, it collapsed immediately, and was utterly destroyed!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:1 - After Jesus had finished teaching all this to the people, he entered Capernaum.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:3 - When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his slave.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:4 - When they came to Jesus, they urged him earnestly, "He is worthy to have you do this for him,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:6 - So Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:9 - When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him. He turned and said to the crowd that followed him, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:12 - As he approached the town gate, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother (who was a widow), and a large crowd from the town was with her.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:14 - Then he came up and touched the bier, and those who carried it stood still. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:16 - Fear seized them all, and they began to glorify God, saying, "A great prophet has appeared among us!" and "God has come to help his people!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:20 - When the men came to Jesus, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?'"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:21 - At that very time Jesus cured many people of diseases, sicknesses, and evil spirits, and granted sight to many who were blind.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:24 - When John's messengers had gone, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:28 - I tell you, among those born of women no one is greater than John. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he is."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:30 - However, the Pharisees and the experts in religious law rejected God's purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:31 - "To what then should I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:39 - Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what kind of woman this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:41 - "A certain creditor had two debtors; one owed him five hundred silver coins, and the other fifty.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:42 - When they could not pay, he canceled the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:43 - Simon answered, "I suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled." Jesus said to him, "You have judged rightly."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:44 - Then, turning toward the woman, he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house. You gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:45 - You gave me no kiss of greeting, but from the time I entered she has not stopped kissing my feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:46 - You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfumed oil.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:47 - Therefore I tell you, her sins, which were many, are forgiven, thus she loved much; but the one who is forgiven little loves little."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:48 - Then Jesus said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:50 - He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:4 - While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from one town after another, he spoke to them in a parable:
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:9 - Then his disciples asked him what this parable meant.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:10 - He said, "You have been given the opportunity to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that although they see they may not see, and although they hear they may not understand.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:11 - "Now the parable means this: The seed is the word of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:12 - Those along the path are the ones who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:13 - Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in a time of testing fall away.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:14 - As for the seed that fell among thorns, these are the ones who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the worries and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:15 - But as for the seed that landed on good soil, these are the ones who, after hearing the word, cling to it with an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with steadfast endurance.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:16 - "No one lights a lamp and then covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in can see the light.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:19 - Now Jesus' mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not get near him because of the crowd.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:21 - But he replied to them, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:23 - and as they sailed he fell asleep. Now a violent windstorm came down on the lake, and the boat started filling up with water, and they were in danger.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:24 - They came and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are about to die!" So he got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; they died down, and it was calm.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:25 - Then he said to them, "Where is your faith?" But they were afraid and amazed, saying to one another, "Who then is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:27 - As Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man from the town met him who was possessed by demons. For a long time this man had worn no clothes and had not lived in a house, but among the tombs.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:28 - When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before him, and shouted with a loud voice, "Leave me alone, Jesus, Son of the Most High God! I beg you, do not torment me!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:30 - Jesus then asked him, "What is your name?" He said, "Legion," because many demons had entered him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:32 - Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and the demonic spirits begged Jesus to let them go into them. He gave them permission.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:33 - So the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd of pigs rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:34 - When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran off and spread the news in the town and countryside.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:35 - So the people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus. They found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:36 - Those who had seen it told them how the man who had been demon-possessed had been healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:37 - Then all the people of the Gerasenes and the surrounding region asked Jesus to leave them alone, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and left.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:38 - The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:40 - Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, because they were all waiting for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:42 - because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds pressed around him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:45 - Then Jesus asked, "Who was it who touched me?" When they all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are surrounding you and pressing against you!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:46 - But Jesus said, "Someone touched me, for I know that power has gone out from me."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:47 - When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:48 - Then he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:50 - But when Jesus heard this, he told him, "Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:51 - Now when he came to the house, Jesus did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, and James, and the child's father and mother.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:52 - Now they were all wailing and mourning for her, but he said, "Stop your weeping; she is not dead but asleep."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:54 - But Jesus gently took her by the hand and said, "Child, get up."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:56 - Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:1 - After Jesus called the twelve together, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:6 - Then they departed and went throughout the villages, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:7 - Now Herod the tetrarch heard about everything that was happening, and he was thoroughly perplexed, because some people were saying that John had been raised from the dead,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:8 - while others were saying that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had risen.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:9 - Herod said, "I had John beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?" So Herod wanted to learn about Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:11 - But when the crowds found out, they followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and cured those who needed healing.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:12 - Now the day began to draw to a close, so the twelve came and said to Jesus, "Send the crowd away, so they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and food, because we are in an isolated place."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:13 - But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." They replied, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish - unless we go and buy food for all these people."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:14 - (Now about five thousand men were there.) Then he said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:16 - Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven he gave thanks and broke them. He gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:19 - They answered, "John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others that one of the prophets of long ago has risen."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:20 - Then he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:21 - But he forcefully commanded them not to tell this to anyone,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:23 - Then he said to them all, "If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:25 - For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:27 - But I tell you most certainly, there are some standing here who will not experience death before they see the kingdom of God."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:28 - Now about eight days after these sayings, Jesus took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up the mountain to pray.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:32 - Now Peter and those with him were quite sleepy, but as they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:34 - As he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:37 - Now on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:41 - Jesus answered, "You unbelieving and perverse generation! How much longer must I be with you and endure you? Bring your son here."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:42 - As the boy was approaching, the demon threw him to the ground and shook him with convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:43 - Then they were all astonished at the mighty power of God. But while the entire crowd was amazed at everything Jesus was doing, he said to his disciples,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:45 - But they did not understand this statement; its meaning had been concealed from them, so that they could not grasp it. Yet they were afraid to ask him about this statement.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:46 - Now an argument started among the disciples as to which of them might be the greatest.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:47 - But when Jesus discerned their innermost thoughts, he took a child, had him stand by his side,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:49 - John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him because he is not a disciple along with us."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:51 - Now when the days drew near for him to be taken up, Jesus set out resolutely to go to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:54 - Now when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to call fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:55 - But Jesus turned and rebuked them,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:57 - As they were walking along the road, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:58 - Jesus said to him, "Foxes have dens and the birds in the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:59 - Jesus said to another, "Follow me." But he replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:60 - But Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:61 - Yet another said, "I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say goodbye to my family."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:62 - Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:1 - After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him two by two into every town and place where he himself was about to go.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:2 - He said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:6 - And if a peace-loving person is there, your peace will remain on him, but if not, it will return to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:7 - Stay in that same house, eating and drinking what they give you, for the worker deserves his pay. Do not move around from house to house.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:12 - I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:16 - "The one who listens to you listens to me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects the one who sent me."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:17 - Then the seventy-two returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:18 - So he said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:20 - Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names stand written in heaven."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:26 - He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you understand it?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:27 - The expert answered, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:28 - Jesus said to him, "You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:29 - But the expert, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:31 - Now by chance a priest was going down that road, but when he saw the injured man he passed by on the other side.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:32 - So too a Levite, when he came up to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:34 - He went up to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:37 - The expert in religious law said, "The one who showed mercy to him." So Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:38 - Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him as a guest.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:40 - But Martha was distracted with all the preparations she had to make, so she came up to him and said, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do all the work alone? Tell her to help me."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:41 - But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:2 - So he said to them, "When you pray, say: Father, may your name be honored; may your kingdom come.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:11 - What father among you, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead of a fish?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:14 - Now he was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the man who had been mute began to speak, and the crowds were amazed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:15 - But some of them said, "By the power of Beelzebul, the ruler of demons, he casts out demons."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:16 - Others, to test him, began asking for a sign from heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:17 - But Jesus, realizing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is destroyed, and a divided household falls.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:18 - So if Satan too is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? I ask you this because you claim that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:19 - Now if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:20 - But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has already overtaken you.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:22 - But when a stronger man attacks and conquers him, he takes away the first man's armor on which the man relied and divides up his plunder.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:27 - As he said these things, a woman in the crowd spoke out to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts at which you nursed!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:28 - But he replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:29 - As the crowds were increasing, Jesus began to say, "This generation is a wicked generation; it looks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:33 - "No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a hidden place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:34 - Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is diseased, your body is full of darkness.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:37 - As he spoke, a Pharisee invited Jesus to have a meal with him, so he went in and took his place at the table.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:38 - The Pharisee was astonished when he saw that Jesus did not first wash his hands before the meal.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:39 - But the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:46 - But Jesus replied, "Woe to you experts in religious law as well! You load people down with burdens difficult to bear, yet you yourselves refuse to touch the burdens with even one of your fingers!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:47 - Woe to you! You build the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:48 - So you testify that you approve of the deeds of your ancestors, because they killed the prophets and you build their tombs!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:53 - When he went out from there, the experts in the law and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly, and to ask him hostile questions about many things,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:2 - Nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, and nothing is secret that will not be made known.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:4 - "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more they can do.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:5 - But I will warn you whom you should fear: Fear the one who, after the killing, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:8 - "I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before God's angels.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:9 - But the one who denies me before men will be denied before God's angels.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:10 - And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the person who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:11 - But when they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not worry about how you should make your defense or what you should say,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:14 - But Jesus said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator between you two?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:15 - Then he said to them, "Watch out and guard yourself from all types of greed, because one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:16 - He then told them a parable: "The land of a certain rich man produced an abundant crop,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:20 - But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded back from you, but who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:22 - Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:25 - And which of you by worrying can add an hour to his life?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:27 - Consider how the flowers grow; they do not work or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:28 - And if this is how God clothes the wild grass, which is here today and tomorrow is tossed into the fire to heat the oven, how much more will he clothe you, you people of little faith!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:30 - For all the nations of the world pursue these things, and your Father knows that you need them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:39 - But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:41 - Then Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for everyone?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:42 - The Lord replied, "Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his household servants, to give them their allowance of food at the proper time?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:45 - But if that slave should say to himself, 'My master is delayed in returning,' and he begins to beat the other slaves, both men and women, and to eat, drink, and get drunk,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:47 - That servant who knew his master's will but did not get ready or do what his master asked will receive a severe beating.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:48 - But the one who did not know his master's will and did things worthy of punishment will receive a light beating. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required, and from the one who has been entrusted with much, even more will be asked.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:50 - I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is finished!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:54 - Jesus also said to the crowds, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, 'A rainstorm is coming,' and it does.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:56 - You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how can you not know how to interpret the present time?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:57 - "And why don't you judge for yourselves what is right?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:6 - Then Jesus told this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:7 - So he said to the worker who tended the vineyard, 'For three years now, I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and each time I inspect it I find none. Cut it down! Why should it continue to deplete the soil?'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:8 - But the worker answered him, 'Sir, leave it alone this year too, until I dig around it and put fertilizer on it.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:9 - Then if it bears fruit next year, very well, but if not, you can cut it down.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:10 - Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:12 - When Jesus saw her, he called her to him and said, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:14 - But the president of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days on which work should be done! So come and be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath day."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:16 - Then shouldn't this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen long years, be released from this imprisonment on the Sabbath day?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:18 - Thus Jesus asked, "What is the kingdom of God like? To what should I compare it?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:23 - Someone asked him, "Lord, will only a few be saved?" So he said to them,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:28 - There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves thrown out.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:35 - Look, your house is forsaken! And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, 'Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:4 - But they remained silent. So Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him away.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:7 - Then when Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, he told them a parable. He said to them,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:12 - He said also to the man who had invited him, "When you host a dinner or a banquet, don't invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors so you can be invited by them in return and get repaid.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:16 - But Jesus said to him, "A man once gave a great banquet and invited many guests.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:25 - Now large crowds were accompanying Jesus, and turning to them he said,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:32 - If he cannot succeed, he will send a representative while the other is still a long way off and ask for terms of peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:34 - "Salt is good, but if salt loses its flavor, how can its flavor be restored?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:1 - Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming to hear him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:3 - So Jesus told them this parable:
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:14 - Then after he had spent everything, a severe famine took place in that country, and he began to be in need.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:17 - But when he came to his senses he said, 'How many of my father's hired workers have food enough to spare, but here I am dying from hunger!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:20 - So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way from home his father saw him, and his heart went out to him; he ran and hugged his son and kissed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:21 - Then his son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:22 - But the father said to his slaves, 'Hurry! Bring the best robe, and put it on him! Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:25 - "Now his older son was in the field. As he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:27 - The slave replied, 'Your brother has returned, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he got his son back safe and sound.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:28 - But the older son became angry and refused to go in. His father came out and appealed to him,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:29 - but he answered his father, 'Look! These many years I have worked like a slave for you, and I never disobeyed your commands. Yet you never gave me even a goat so that I could celebrate with my friends!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:30 - But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your assets with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:31 - Then the father said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and everything that belongs to me is yours.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:32 - It was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost and is found.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:1 - Jesus also said to the disciples, "There was a rich man who was informed of accusations that his manager was wasting his assets.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:3 - Then the manager said to himself, 'What should I do, since my master is taking my position away from me? I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm too ashamed to beg.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:6 - The man replied, 'A hundred measures of olive oil.' The manager said to him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and write fifty.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:7 - Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' The second man replied, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' The manager said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:14 - The Pharisees (who loved money) heard all this and ridiculed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:15 - But Jesus said to them, "You are the ones who justify yourselves in men's eyes, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly prized among men is utterly detestable in God's sight.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:22 - "Now the poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:25 - But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things and Lazarus likewise bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in anguish.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:30 - Then the rich man said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:31 - He replied to him, 'If they do not respond to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:1 - Jesus said to his disciples, "Stumbling blocks are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:3 - Watch yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:6 - So the Lord replied, "If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this black mulberry tree, 'Be pulled out by the roots and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:7 - "Would any one of you say to your slave who comes in from the field after plowing or shepherding sheep, 'Come at once and sit down for a meal'?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:15 - Then one of them, when he saw he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:17 - Then Jesus said, "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:20 - Now at one point the Pharisees asked Jesus when the kingdom of God was coming, so he answered, "The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:22 - Then he said to the disciples, "The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:25 - But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:29 - but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:37 - Then the disciples said to him, "Where, Lord?" He replied to them, "Where the dead body is, there the vultures will gather."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:1 - Then Jesus told them a parable to show them they should always pray and not lose heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:3 - There was also a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, 'Give me justice against my adversary.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:4 - For a while he refused, but later on he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God nor have regard for people,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:6 - And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:7 - Won't God give justice to his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he delay long to help them?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:9 - Jesus also told this parable to some who were confident that they were righteous and looked down on everyone else.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:14 - I tell you that this man went down to his home justified rather than the Pharisee. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:15 - Now people were even bringing their babies to him for him to touch. But when the disciples saw it, they began to scold those who brought them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:16 - But Jesus called for the children, saying, "Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:19 - Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:21 - The man replied, "I have wholeheartedly obeyed all these laws since my youth."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:22 - When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:23 - But when the man heard this he became very sad, for he was extremely wealthy.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:24 - When Jesus noticed this, he said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:26 - Those who heard this said, "Then who can be saved?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:27 - He replied, "What is impossible for mere humans is possible for God."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:28 - And Peter said, "Look, we have left everything we own to follow you!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:29 - Then Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, there is no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of God's kingdom
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:31 - Then Jesus took the twelve aside and said to them, "Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:35 - As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:36 - When he heard a crowd going by, he asked what was going on.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:37 - They told him, "Jesus the Nazarene is passing by."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:39 - And those who were in front scolded him to get him to be quiet, but he shouted even more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:40 - So Jesus stopped and ordered the beggar to be brought to him. When the man came near, Jesus asked him,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:41 - "What do you want me to do for you?" He replied, "Lord, let me see again."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:8 - But Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, half of my possessions I now give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone of anything, I am paying back four times as much!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:9 - Then Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this household, because he too is a son of Abraham!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:11 - While the people were listening to these things, Jesus proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:13 - And he summoned ten of his slaves, gave them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business with these until I come back.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:14 - But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to be king over us!'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:16 - So the first one came before him and said, 'Sir, your mina has made ten minas more.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:19 - So the king said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:22 - The king said to him, 'I will judge you by your own words, you wicked slave! So you knew, did you, that I was a severe man, withdrawing what I didn't deposit and reaping what I didn't sow?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:26 - 'I tell you that everyone who has will be given more, but from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:32 - So those who were sent ahead found it exactly as he had told them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:33 - As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, "Why are you untying that colt?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:34 - They replied, "The Lord needs it."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:36 - As he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:37 - As he approached the road leading down from the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen:
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:42 - saying, "If you had only known on this day, even you, the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:46 - saying to them, "It is written, 'My house will be a house of prayer,' but you have turned it into a den of robbers!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:47 - Jesus was teaching daily in the temple courts. The chief priests and the experts in the law and the prominent leaders among the people were seeking to assassinate him,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:3 - He answered them, "I will also ask you a question, and you tell me:
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:5 - So they discussed it with one another, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:6 - But if we say, 'From people,' all the people will stone us, because they are convinced that John was a prophet."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:9 - Then he began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey for a long time.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:10 - When harvest time came, he sent a slave to the tenants so that they would give him his portion of the crop. However, the tenants beat his slave and sent him away empty-handed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:11 - So he sent another slave. They beat this one too, treated him outrageously, and sent him away empty-handed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:12 - So he sent still a third. They even wounded this one, and threw him out.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:13 - Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What should I do? I will send my one dear son; perhaps they will respect him.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:14 - But when the tenants saw him, they said to one another, 'This is the heir; let's kill him so the inheritance will be ours!'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:16 - He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others." When the people heard this, they said, "May this never happen!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:17 - But Jesus looked straight at them and said, "Then what is the meaning of that which is written: 'The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone'?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:23 - But Jesus perceived their deceit and said to them,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:24 - "Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?" They said, "Caesar's."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:25 - So he said to them, "Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:31 - and then the third married her, and in this same way all seven died, leaving no children.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:32 - Finally the woman died too.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:35 - But those who are regarded as worthy to share in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:37 - But even Moses revealed that the dead are raised in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:38 - Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live before him."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:40 - For they did not dare any longer to ask him anything.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:41 - But he said to them, "How is it that they say that the Christ is David's son?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:45 - As all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:1 - Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:4 - For they all offered their gifts out of their wealth. But she, out of her poverty, put in everything she had to live on."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:7 - So they asked him, "Teacher, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that these things are about to take place?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:8 - He said, "Watch out that you are not misled. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:9 - And when you hear of wars and rebellions, do not be afraid. For these things must happen first, but the end will not come at once."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:12 - But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you, handing you over to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors because of my name.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:13 - This will be a time for you to serve as witnesses.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:16 - You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will have some of you put to death.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:20 - "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:23 - Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days! For there will be great distress on the earth and wrath against this people.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:28 - But when these things begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:33 - Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:34 - "But be on your guard so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that day close down upon you suddenly like a trap.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:37 - So every day Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, but at night he went and stayed on the Mount of Olives.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:1 - Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:3 - Then Satan entered Judas, the one called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:7 - Then the day for the feast of Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:9 - They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare it?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:10 - He said to them, "Listen, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:13 - So they went and found things just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:24 - A dispute also started among them over which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:25 - So Jesus said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called 'benefactors.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:26 - Not so with you; instead the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the one who serves.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:27 - For who is greater, the one who is seated at the table, or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is seated at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:31 - "Simon, Simon, pay attention! Satan has demanded to have you all, to sift you like wheat,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:32 - but I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. When you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:33 - But Peter said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:34 - Jesus replied, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know me."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:35 - Then Jesus said to them, "When I sent you out with no money bag, or traveler's bag, or sandals, you didn't lack anything, did you?" They replied, "Nothing."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:38 - So they said, "Look, Lord, here are two swords." Then he told them, "It is enough."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:39 - Then Jesus went out and made his way, as he customarily did, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:40 - When he came to the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:43 - [Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:44 - And in his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:48 - But Jesus said to him, "Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:49 - When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said, "Lord, should we use our swords?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:51 - But Jesus said, "Enough of this!" And he touched the man's ear and healed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:52 - Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders who had come out to get him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs like you would against an outlaw?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:54 - Then they arrested Jesus, led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter was following at a distance.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:55 - When they had made a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:56 - Then a slave girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight, stared at him and said, "This man was with him too!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:57 - But Peter denied it: "Woman, I don't know him!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:58 - Then a little later someone else saw him and said, "You are one of them too." But Peter said, "Man, I am not!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:60 - But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" At that moment, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:67 - and said, "If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:68 - and if I ask you, you will not answer.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:70 - So they all said, "Are you the Son of God, then?" He answered them, "You say that I am."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:71 - Then they said, "Why do we need further testimony? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:2 - They began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding us to pay the tribute tax to Caesar and claiming that he himself is Christ, a king."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:3 - So Pilate asked Jesus, "Are you the king of the Jews?" He replied, "You say so."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:4 - Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, "I find no basis for an accusation against this man."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:5 - But they persisted in saying, "He incites the people by teaching throughout all Judea. It started in Galilee and ended up here!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:6 - Now when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:8 - When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard about him and was hoping to see him perform some miraculous sign.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:9 - So Herod questioned him at considerable length; Jesus gave him no answer.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:10 - The chief priests and the experts in the law were there, vehemently accusing him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:11 - Even Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him. Then, dressing him in elegant clothes, Herod sent him back to Pilate.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:12 - That very day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other, for prior to this they had been enemies.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:13 - Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:18 - But they all shouted out together, "Take this man away! Release Barabbas for us!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:21 - But they kept on shouting, "Crucify, crucify him!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:22 - A third time he said to them, "Why? What wrong has he done? I have found him guilty of no crime deserving death. I will therefore flog him and release him."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:23 - But they were insistent, demanding with loud shouts that he be crucified. And their shouts prevailed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:24 - So Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:25 - He released the man they asked for, who had been thrown in prison for insurrection and murder. But he handed Jesus over to their will.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:27 - A great number of the people followed him, among them women who were mourning and wailing for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:28 - But Jesus turned to them and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:32 - Two other criminals were also led away to be executed with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:33 - So when they came to the place that is called "The Skull," they crucified him there, along with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:34 - [But Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." ] Then they threw dice to divide his clothes.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:35 - The people also stood there watching, but the rulers ridiculed him, saying, "He saved others. Let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, his chosen one!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:36 - The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:38 - There was also an inscription over him, "This is the king of the Jews."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:39 - One of the criminals who was hanging there railed at him, saying, "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:40 - But the other rebuked him, saying, "Don't you fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:41 - And we rightly so, for we are getting what we deserve for what we did, but this man has done nothing wrong."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:44 - It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:47 - Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he praised God and said, "Certainly this man was innocent!"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:49 - And all those who knew Jesus stood at a distance, and the women who had followed him from Galilee saw these things.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:55 - The women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:56 - Then they returned and prepared aromatic spices and perfumes. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:1 - Now on the first day of the week, at early dawn, the women went to the tomb, taking the aromatic spices they had prepared.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:2 - They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:5 - The women were terribly frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:10 - Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:12 - But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. He bent down and saw only the strips of linen cloth; then he went home, wondering what had happened.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:16 - (but their eyes were kept from recognizing him).
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:17 - Then he said to them, "What are these matters you are discussing so intently as you walk along?" And they stood still, looking sad.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:18 - Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn't know the things that have happened there in these days?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:19 - He said to them, "What things?" "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene," they replied, "a man who, with his powerful deeds and words, proved to be a prophet before God and all the people;
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:21 - But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. Not only this, but it is now the third day since these things happened.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:24 - Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see him."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:31 - At this point their eyes were opened and they recognized him. Then he vanished out of their sight.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:36 - While they were saying these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:37 - But they were startled and terrified, thinking they saw a ghost.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:41 - And while they still could not believe it (because of their joy) and were amazed, he said to them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:42 - So they gave him a piece of broiled fish,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:44 - Then he said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:48 - You are witnesses of these things.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:49 - And look, I am sending you what my Father promised. But stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:50 - Then Jesus led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:12 - But to all who have received him - those who believe in his name - he has given the right to become God's children
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:26 - John answered them, "I baptize with water. Among you stands one whom you do not recognize,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 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?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:42 - Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, the son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter).
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:44 - (Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:2 - and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:6 - Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washing, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:9 - When the head steward tasted the water that had been turned to wine, not knowing where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), he called the bridegroom
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:17 - His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will devour me."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:21 - But Jesus was speaking about the temple of his body.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:23 - Now while Jesus was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, many people believed in his name because they saw the miraculous signs he was doing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:24 - But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:1 - Now a certain man, a Pharisee named Nicodemus, who was a member of the Jewish ruling council,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:18 - The one who believes in him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:21 - But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be plainly evident that his deeds have been done in God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:23 - John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming to him and being baptized.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:29 - The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands by and listens for him, rejoices greatly when he hears the bridegroom's voice. This then is my joy, and it is complete.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:30 - He must become more important while I become less important."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:36 - The one who believes in the Son has eternal life. The one who rejects the Son will not see life, but God's wrath remains on him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:4 - But he had to pass through Samaria.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:6 - Jacob's well was there, so Jesus, since he was tired from the journey, sat right down beside the well. It was about noon.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:31 - Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, "Rabbi, eat something."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:32 - But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:39 - Now many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the report of the woman who testified, "He told me everything I ever did."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:43 - After the two days he departed from there to Galilee.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:51 - While he was on his way down, his slaves met him and told him that his son was going to live.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:2 - Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool called Bethzatha in Aramaic, which has five covered walkways.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:7 - The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I am trying to get into the water, someone else goes down there before me."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:9 - Immediately the man was healed, and he picked up his mat and started walking. (Now that day was a Sabbath.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:13 - But the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped out, since there was a crowd in that place.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:17 - So he told them, "My Father is working until now, and I too am working."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:29 - and will come out - the ones who have done what is good to the resurrection resulting in life, and the ones who have done what is evil to the resurrection resulting in condemnation.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:34 - (I do not accept human testimony, but I say this so that you may be saved.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:35 - He was a lamp that was burning and shining, and you wanted to rejoice greatly for a short time in his light.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:36 - "But I have a testimony greater than that from John. For the deeds that the Father has assigned me to complete - the deeds I am now doing - testify about me that the Father has sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:47 - But if you do not believe what Moses wrote, how will you believe my words?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:3 - So Jesus went on up the mountainside and sat down there with his disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:4 - (Now the Jewish feast of the Passover was near.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:6 - (Now Jesus said this to test him, for he knew what he was going to do.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:10 - Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." (Now there was a lot of grass in that place.) So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:11 - Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed the bread to those who were seated. He then did the same with the fish, as much as they wanted.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:12 - When they were all satisfied, Jesus said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces that are left over, so that nothing is wasted."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:16 - Now when evening came, his disciples went down to the lake,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:20 - But he said to them, "It is I. Do not be afraid."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:23 - But some boats from Tiberias came to shore near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:35 - Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never go hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 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."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:51 - I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread he will live forever. The bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:61 - When Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining about this, he said to them, "Does this cause you to be offended?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:71 - (Now he said this about Judas son of Simon Iscariot, for Judas, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:2 - Now the Jewish feast of Tabernacles was near.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:6 - So Jesus replied, "My time has not yet arrived, but you are ready at any opportunity!
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:7 - The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I am testifying about it that its deeds are evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:9 - When he had said this, he remained in Galilee.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:10 - But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then Jesus himself also went up, not openly but in secret.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:12 - There was a lot of grumbling about him among the crowds. Some were saying, "He is a good man," but others, "He deceives the common people."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:14 - When the feast was half over, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:18 - The person who speaks on his own authority desires to receive honor for himself; the one who desires the honor of the one who sent him is a man of integrity, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:27 - But we know where this man comes from. Whenever the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:29 - but I know him, because I have come from him and he sent me."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:31 - Yet many of the crowd believed in him and said, "Whenever the Christ comes, he won't perform more miraculous signs than this man did, will he?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:37 - On the last day of the feast, the greatest day, Jesus stood up and shouted out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:39 - (Now he said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were going to receive, for the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:41 - Others said, "This is the Christ!" But still others said, "No, for the Christ doesn't come from Galilee, does he?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:44 - Some of them were wanting to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:1 - But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:2 - Early in the morning he came to the temple courts again. All the people came to him, and he sat down and began to teach them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:3 - The experts in the law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught committing adultery. They made her stand in front of them
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:5 - In the law Moses commanded us to stone to death such women. What then do you say?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:6 - (Now they were asking this in an attempt to trap him, so that they could bring charges against him.) Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:7 - When they persisted in asking him, he stood up straight and replied, "Whoever among you is guiltless may be the first to throw a stone at her."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:9 - Now when they heard this, they began to drift away one at a time, starting with the older ones, until Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:10 - Jesus stood up straight and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:11 - She replied, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you either. Go, and from now on do not sin any more." ]]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:14 - Jesus answered, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you people do not know where I came from or where I am going.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:16 - But if I judge, my evaluation is accurate, because I am not alone when I judge, but I and the Father who sent me do so together.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:17 - It is written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:35 - The slave does not remain in the family forever, but the son remains forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:40 - But now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:45 - But because I am telling you the truth, you do not believe me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:46 - Who among you can prove me guilty of any sin? If I am telling you the truth, why don't you believe me?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:50 - I am not trying to get praise for myself. There is one who demands it, and he also judges.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:55 - Yet you do not know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I obey his teaching.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:59 - Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out from the temple area.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:9 - Some people said, "This is the man!" while others said, "No, but he looks like him." The man himself kept insisting, "I am the one!"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:11 - He replied, "The man called Jesus made mud, smeared it on my eyes and told me, 'Go to Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed, and was able to see."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:14 - (Now the day on which Jesus made the mud and caused him to see was a Sabbath.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:15 - So the Pharisees asked him again how he had gained his sight. He replied, "He put mud on my eyes and I washed, and now I am able to see."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:17 - So again they asked the man who used to be blind, "What do you say about him, since he caused you to see?" "He is a prophet," the man replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:21 - But we do not know how he is now able to see, nor do we know who caused him to see. Ask him, he is a mature adult. He will speak for himself."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:26 - Then they said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he cause you to see?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:28 - They heaped insults on him, saying, "You are his disciple! We are disciples of Moses!
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:29 - We know that God has spoken to Moses! We do not know where this man comes from!"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:31 - We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but if anyone is devout and does his will, God listens to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:37 - Jesus told him, "You have seen him; he is the one speaking with you."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:38 - [He said, "Lord, I believe," and he worshiped him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:41 - Jesus replied, "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin, but now because you claim that you can see, your guilt remains."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:2 - The one who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:5 - They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not recognize the stranger's voice."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:6 - Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:12 - The hired hand, who is not a shepherd and does not own sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and runs away. So the wolf attacks the sheep and scatters them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:13 - Because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep, he runs away.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:20 - Many of them were saying, "He is possessed by a demon and has lost his mind! Why do you listen to him?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:22 - Then came the feast of the Dedication in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:38 - But if I do them, even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, so that you may come to know and understand that I am in the Father and the Father is in me."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:41 - Many came to him and began to say, "John performed no miraculous sign, but everything John said about this man was true!"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:2 - (Now it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfumed oil and wiped his feet dry with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:4 - When Jesus heard this, he said, "This sickness will not lead to death, but to God's glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:5 - (Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:13 - (Now Jesus had been talking about his death, but they thought he had been talking about real sleep.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:18 - (Now Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:20 - So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:30 - (Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still in the place where Martha had come out to meet him.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:37 - But some of them said, "This is the man who caused the blind man to see! Couldn't he have done something to keep Lazarus from dying?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:38 - Jesus, intensely moved again, came to the tomb. (Now it was a cave, and a stone was placed across it.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:41 - So they took away the stone. Jesus looked upward and said, "Father, I thank you that you have listened to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:42 - I knew that you always listen to me, but I said this for the sake of the crowd standing around here, that they may believe that you sent me."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:46 - But some of them went to the Pharisees and reported to them what Jesus had done.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:51 - (Now he did not say this on his own, but because he was high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the Jewish nation,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:55 - Now the Jewish feast of Passover was near, and many people went up to Jerusalem from the rural areas before the Passover to cleanse themselves ritually.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:57 - (Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where Jesus was should report it, so that they could arrest him.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:2 - So they prepared a dinner for Jesus there. Martha was serving, and Lazarus was among those present at the table with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:3 - Then Mary took three quarters of a pound of expensive aromatic oil from pure nard and anointed the feet of Jesus. She then wiped his feet dry with her hair. (Now the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfumed oil.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:6 - (Now Judas said this not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money box, he used to steal what was put into it.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:8 - For you will always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me!"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:10 - So the chief priests planned to kill Lazarus too,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:14 - Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:16 - (His disciples did not understand these things when they first happened, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him and that these things had happened to him.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:20 - Now some Greeks were among those who had gone up to worship at the feast.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:23 - Jesus replied, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:24 - I tell you the solemn truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it produces much grain.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:33 - (Now he said this to indicate clearly what kind of death he was going to die.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:37 - Although Jesus had performed so many miraculous signs before them, they still refused to believe in him,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:44 - But Jesus shouted out, "The one who believes in me does not believe in me, but in the one who sent me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:1 - Just before the Passover feast, Jesus knew that his time had come to depart from this world to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now loved them to the very end.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:7 - Jesus replied, "You do not understand what I am doing now, but you will understand after these things."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:20 - I tell you the solemn truth, whoever accepts the one I send accepts me, and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:25 - Then the disciple whom Jesus loved leaned back against Jesus' chest and asked him, "Lord, who is it?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:28 - (Now none of those present at the table understood why Jesus said this to Judas.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:30 - Judas took the piece of bread and went out immediately. (Now it was night.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:36 - Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus replied, "Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:2 - There are many dwelling places in my Father's house. Otherwise, I would have told you, because I am going away to make ready a place for you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:10 - Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you, I do not speak on my own initiative, but the Father residing in me performs his miraculous deeds.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:11 - Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me, but if you do not believe me, believe because of the miraculous deeds themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:17 - the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:19 - In a little while the world will not see me any longer, but you will see me; because I live, you will live too.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:21 - The person who has my commandments and obeys them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:26 - But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and will cause you to remember everything I said to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:15 - I no longer call you slaves, because the slave does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everything I heard from my Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:19 - If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. However, because you do not belong to the world, but I chose you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:22 - If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. But they no longer have any excuse for their sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:24 - If I had not performed among them the miraculous deeds that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen the deeds and have hated both me and my Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:26 - When the Advocate comes, whom I will send you from the Father - the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father - he will testify about me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:27 - and you also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:4 - But I have told you these things so that when their time comes, you will remember that I told you about them. "I did not tell you these things from the beginning because I was with you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:5 - But now I am going to the one who sent me, and not one of you is asking me, 'Where are you going?'
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:7 - But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I am going away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:11 - and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:13 - But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. For he will not speak on his own authority, but will speak whatever he hears, and will tell you what is to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:20 - I tell you the solemn truth, you will weep and wail, but the world will rejoice; you will be sad, but your sadness will turn into joy.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:21 - When a woman gives birth, she has distress because her time has come, but when her child is born, she no longer remembers the suffering because of her joy that a human being has been born into the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:22 - So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:13 - But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so they may experience my joy completed in themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:20 - "I am not praying only on their behalf, but also on behalf of those who believe in me through their testimony,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:2 - (Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, knew the place too, because Jesus had met there many times with his disciples.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:5 - They replied, "Jesus the Nazarene." He told them, "I am he." (Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, was standing there with them.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:7 - Then Jesus asked them again, "Who are you looking for?" And they said, "Jesus the Nazarene."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:10 - Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, pulled it out and struck the high priest's slave, cutting off his right ear. (Now the slave's name was Malchus.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:14 - (Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jewish leaders that it was to their advantage that one man die for the people.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:15 - Simon Peter and another disciple followed them as they brought Jesus to Annas. (Now the other disciple was acquainted with the high priest, and he went with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:16 - But Simon Peter was left standing outside by the door. So the other disciple who was acquainted with the high priest came out and spoke to the slave girl who watched the door, and brought Peter inside.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:18 - (Now the slaves and the guards were standing around a charcoal fire they had made, warming themselves because it was cold. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:22 - When Jesus had said this, one of the high priest's officers who stood nearby struck him on the face and said, "Is that the way you answer the high priest?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:23 - Jesus replied, "If I have said something wrong, confirm what is wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why strike me?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:25 - Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing in the courtyard warming himself. They said to him, "You aren't one of his disciples too, are you?" Peter denied it: "I am not!"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:28 - Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the Roman governor's residence. (Now it was very early morning.) They did not go into the governor's residence so they would not be ceremonially defiled, but could eat the Passover meal.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:36 - Jesus replied, "My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish authorities. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:39 - But it is your custom that I release one prisoner for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:40 - Then they shouted back, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" (Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:9 - and he went back into the governor's residence and said to Jesus, "Where do you come from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:12 - From this point on, Pilate tried to release him. But the Jewish leaders shouted out, "If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar! Everyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar!"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:13 - When Pilate heard these words he brought Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat in the place called "The Stone Pavement" (Gabbatha in Aramaic).
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:14 - (Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover, about noon.) Pilate said to the Jewish leaders, "Look, here is your king!"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:15 - Then they shouted out, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" Pilate asked, "Shall I crucify your king?" The high priests replied, "We have no king except Caesar!"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:16 - Then Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:18 - There they crucified him along with two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:19 - Pilate also had a notice written and fastened to the cross, which read: "Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:23 - Now when the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and made four shares, one for each soldier, and the tunic remained. (Now the tunic was seamless, woven from top to bottom as a single piece.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:25 - Now standing beside Jesus' cross were his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:29 - A jar full of sour wine was there, so they put a sponge soaked in sour wine on a branch of hyssop and lifted it to his mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:33 - But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:38 - After this, Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus (but secretly, because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he went and took the body away.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:39 - Nicodemus, the man who had previously come to Jesus at night, accompanied Joseph, carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about seventy-five pounds.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:41 - Now at the place where Jesus was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden was a new tomb where no one had yet been buried.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:1 - Now very early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been moved away from the entrance.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:4 - The two were running together, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and reached the tomb first.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:11 - But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. As she wept, she bent down and looked into the tomb.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:17 - Jesus replied, "Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father. Go to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:24 - Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:25 - The other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he replied, "Unless I see the wounds from the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the wounds from the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it!"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:31 - But these are recorded so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:1 - After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. Now this is how he did so.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:4 - When it was already very early morning, Jesus stood on the beach, but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:6 - He told them, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they threw the net, and were not able to pull it in because of the large number of fish.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:8 - Meanwhile the other disciples came with the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:12 - "Come, have breakfast," Jesus said. But none of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?" because they knew it was the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:18 - I tell you the solemn truth, when you were young, you tied your clothes around you and went wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and others will tie you up and bring you where you do not want to go."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:19 - (Now Jesus said this to indicate clearly by what kind of death Peter was going to glorify God.) After he said this, Jesus told Peter, "Follow me."
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:21 - So when Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, "Lord, what about him?"
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:25 - There are many other things that Jesus did. If every one of them were written down, I suppose the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:5 - For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:7 - He told them, "You are not permitted to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:5 - Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven residing in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:6 - When this sound occurred, a crowd gathered and was in confusion, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:7 - Completely baffled, they said, "Aren't all these who are speaking Galileans?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:12 - All were astounded and greatly confused, saying to one another, "What does this mean?"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:13 - But others jeered at the speakers, saying, "They are drunk on new wine!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:14 - But Peter stood up with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them: "You men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, know this and listen carefully to what I say.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:26 - Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced; my body also will live in hope,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:34 - For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says, 'The Lord said to my lord, "Sit at my right hand
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:37 - Now when they heard this, they were acutely distressed and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "What should we do, brothers?"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:38 - Peter said to them, "Repent, and each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:42 - They were devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:43 - Reverential awe came over everyone, and many wonders and miraculous signs came about by the apostles.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:44 - All who believed were together and held everything in common,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:47 - praising God and having the good will of all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number every day those who were being saved.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:1 - Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time for prayer, at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:4 - Peter looked directly at him (as did John) and said, "Look at us!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:5 - So the lame man paid attention to them, expecting to receive something from them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:6 - But Peter said, "I have no silver or gold, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, stand up and walk!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:7 - Then Peter took hold of him by the right hand and raised him up, and at once the man's feet and ankles were made strong.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:11 - While the man was hanging on to Peter and John, all the people, completely astounded, ran together to them in the covered walkway called Solomon's Portico.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:12 - When Peter saw this, he declared to the people, "Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this? Why do you stare at us as if we had made this man walk by our own power or piety?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:14 - But you rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a man who was a murderer be released to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:15 - You killed the Originator of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this fact we are witnesses!
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:18 - But the things God foretold long ago through all the prophets - that his Christ would suffer - he has fulfilled in this way.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:23 - Every person who does not obey that prophet will be destroyed and thus removed from the people.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:24 - And all the prophets, from Samuel and those who followed him, have spoken about and announced these days.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:1 - While Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests and the commander of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:4 - But many of those who had listened to the message believed, and the number of the men came to about five thousand.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:5 - On the next day, their rulers, elders, and experts in the law came together in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:13 - When they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and discovered that they were uneducated and ordinary men, they were amazed and recognized these men had been with Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:14 - And because they saw the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against this.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:15 - But when they had ordered them to go outside the council, they began to confer with one another,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:19 - But Peter and John replied, "Whether it is right before God to obey you rather than God, you decide,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:21 - After threatening them further, they released them, for they could not find how to punish them on account of the people, because they were all praising God for what had happened.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:23 - When they were released, Peter and John went to their fellow believers and reported everything the high priests and the elders had said to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:24 - When they heard this, they raised their voices to God with one mind and said, "Master of all, you who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:32 - The group of those who believed were of one heart and mind, and no one said that any of his possessions was his own, but everything was held in common.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:35 - and placing them at the apostles' feet. The proceeds were distributed to each, as anyone had need.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:36 - So Joseph, a Levite who was a native of Cyprus, called by the apostles Barnabas (which is translated "son of encouragement"),
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:3 - But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back for yourself part of the proceeds from the sale of the land?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:5 - When Ananias heard these words he collapsed and died, and great fear gripped all who heard about it.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:6 - So the young men came, wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:7 - After an interval of about three hours, his wife came in, but she did not know what had happened.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:8 - Peter said to her, "Tell me, were the two of you paid this amount for the land?" Sapphira said, "Yes, that much."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:9 - Peter then told her, "Why have you agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:10 - At once she collapsed at his feet and died. So when the young men came in, they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:12 - Now many miraculous signs and wonders came about among the people through the hands of the apostles. By common consent they were all meeting together in Solomon's Portico.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:13 - None of the rest dared to join them, but the people held them in high honor.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:14 - More and more believers in the Lord were added to their number, crowds of both men and women.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:16 - A crowd of people from the towns around Jerusalem also came together, bringing the sick and those troubled by unclean spirits. They were all being healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:17 - Now the high priest rose up, and all those with him (that is, the religious party of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:19 - But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, led them out, and said,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:21 - When they heard this, they entered the temple courts at daybreak and began teaching. Now when the high priest and those who were with him arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrin - that is, the whole high council of the Israelites - and sent to the jail to have the apostles brought before them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:22 - But the officers who came for them did not find them in the prison, so they returned and reported,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:23 - "We found the jail locked securely and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:24 - Now when the commander of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this report, they were greatly puzzled concerning it, wondering what this could be.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:27 - When they had brought them, they stood them before the council, and the high priest questioned them,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:29 - But Peter and the apostles replied, "We must obey God rather than people.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:32 - And we are witnesses of these events, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:33 - Now when they heard this, they became furious and wanted to execute them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:39 - but if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them, or you may even be found fighting against God." He convinced them,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:1 - Now in those days, when the disciples were growing in number, a complaint arose on the part of the Greek-speaking Jews against the native Hebraic Jews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:2 - So the twelve called the whole group of the disciples together and said, "It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to wait on tables.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:4 - But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:8 - Now Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and miraculous signs among the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:1 - Then the high priest said, "Are these things true?"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:2 - So he replied, "Brothers and fathers, listen to me. The God of glory appeared to our forefather Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he settled in Haran,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:6 - But God spoke as follows: 'Your descendants will be foreigners in a foreign country, whose citizens will enslave them and mistreat them for four hundred years.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:11 - Then a famine occurred throughout Egypt and Canaan, causing great suffering, and our ancestors could not find food.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:12 - So when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our ancestors there the first time.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:14 - So Joseph sent a message and invited his father Jacob and all his relatives to come, seventy-five people in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:15 - So Jacob went down to Egypt and died there, along with our ancestors,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:17 - "But as the time drew near for God to fulfill the promise he had declared to Abraham, the people increased greatly in number in Egypt,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:21 - and when he had been abandoned, Pharaoh's daughter adopted him and brought him up as her own son.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:22 - So Moses was trained in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in his words and deeds.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:23 - But when he was about forty years old, it entered his mind to visit his fellow countrymen the Israelites.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:25 - He thought his own people would understand that God was delivering them through him, but they did not understand.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:27 - But the man who was unfairly hurting his neighbor pushed Moses aside, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and judge over us?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:29 - When the man said this, Moses fled and became a foreigner in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:31 - When Moses saw it, he was amazed at the sight, and when he approached to investigate, there came the voice of the Lord,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:32 - 'I am the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.' Moses began to tremble and did not dare to look more closely.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:33 - But the Lord said to him, 'Take the sandals off your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:42 - But God turned away from them and gave them over to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: 'It was not to me that you offered slain animals and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, was it, house of Israel?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:47 - But Solomon built a house for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:49 - 'Heaven is my throne, and earth is the footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what is my resting place?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:54 - When they heard these things, they became furious and ground their teeth at him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:55 - But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked intently toward heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:57 - But they covered their ears, shouting out with a loud voice, and rushed at him with one intent.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:60 - Then he fell to his knees and cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them!" When he had said this, he died.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:1 - And Saul agreed completely with killing him. Now on that day a great persecution began against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were forced to scatter throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:2 - Some devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation over him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:3 - But Saul was trying to destroy the church; entering one house after another, he dragged off both men and women and put them in prison.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:5 - Philip went down to the main city of Samaria and began proclaiming the Christ to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:7 - For unclean spirits, crying with loud shrieks, were coming out of many who were possessed, and many paralyzed and lame people were healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:11 - And they paid close attention to him because he had amazed them for a long time with his magic.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:12 - But when they believed Philip as he was proclaiming the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they began to be baptized, both men and women.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:13 - Even Simon himself believed, and after he was baptized, he stayed close to Philip constantly, and when he saw the signs and great miracles that were occurring, he was amazed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:14 - Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:16 - (For the Spirit had not yet come upon any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:18 - Now Simon, when he saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, offered them money,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:20 - But Peter said to him, "May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could acquire God's gift with money!
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:24 - But Simon replied, "You pray to the Lord for me so that nothing of what you have said may happen to me."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:26 - Then an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Get up and go south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." (This is a desert road.)
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:29 - Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go over and join this chariot."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:30 - So Philip ran up to it and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. He asked him, "Do you understand what you're reading?"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:31 - The man replied, "How in the world can I, unless someone guides me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:32 - Now the passage of scripture the man was reading was this: "He was led like a sheep to slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:33 - In humiliation justice was taken from him. Who can describe his posterity? For his life was taken away from the earth."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:34 - Then the eunuch said to Philip, "Please tell me, who is the prophet saying this about - himself or someone else?"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:35 - So Philip started speaking, and beginning with this scripture proclaimed the good news about Jesus to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:36 - Now as they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Look, there is water! What is to stop me from being baptized?"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:39 - Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any more, but went on his way rejoicing.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:40 - Philip, however, found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through the area, he proclaimed the good news to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:1 - Meanwhile Saul, still breathing out threats to murder the Lord's disciples, went to the high priest
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:3 - As he was going along, approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:7 - (Now the men who were traveling with him stood there speechless, because they heard the voice but saw no one.)
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:8 - So Saul got up from the ground, but although his eyes were open, he could see nothing. Leading him by the hand, his companions brought him into Damascus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:10 - Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias," and he replied, "Here I am, Lord."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:11 - Then the Lord told him, "Get up and go to the street called 'Straight,' and at Judas' house look for a man from Tarsus named Saul. For he is praying,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:13 - But Ananias replied, "Lord, I have heard from many people about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:15 - But the Lord said to him, "Go, because this man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before Gentiles and kings and the people of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:17 - So Ananias departed and entered the house, placed his hands on Saul and said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:19 - and after taking some food, his strength returned. For several days he was with the disciples in Damascus,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:21 - All who heard him were amazed and were saying, "Is this not the man who in Jerusalem was ravaging those who call on this name, and who had come here to bring them as prisoners to the chief priests?"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:22 - But Saul became more and more capable, and was causing consternation among the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:23 - Now after some days had passed, the Jews plotted together to kill him,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:24 - but Saul learned of their plot against him. They were also watching the city gates day and night so that they could kill him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:25 - But his disciples took him at night and let him down through an opening in the wall by lowering him in a basket.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:26 - When he arrived in Jerusalem, he attempted to associate with the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, because they did not believe that he was a disciple.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:27 - But Barnabas took Saul, brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken out boldly in the name of Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:29 - He was speaking and debating with the Greek-speaking Jews, but they were trying to kill him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:30 - When the brothers found out about this, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:32 - Now as Peter was traveling around from place to place, he also came down to the saints who lived in Lydda.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:33 - He found there a man named Aeneas who had been confined to a mattress for eight years because he was paralyzed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:37 - At that time she became sick and died. When they had washed her body, they placed it in an upstairs room.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:38 - Because Lydda was near Joppa, when the disciples heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him and urged him, "Come to us without delay."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:39 - So Peter got up and went with them, and when he arrived they brought him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him, crying and showing him the tunics and other clothing Dorcas used to make while she was with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:40 - But Peter sent them all outside, knelt down, and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, get up." Then she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:41 - He gave her his hand and helped her get up. Then he called the saints and widows and presented her alive.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:42 - This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:43 - So Peter stayed many days in Joppa with a man named Simon, a tanner.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:4 - Staring at him and becoming greatly afraid, Cornelius replied, "What is it, Lord?" The angel said to him, "Your prayers and your acts of charity have gone up as a memorial before God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:7 - When the angel who had spoken to him departed, Cornelius called two of his personal servants and a devout soldier from among those who served him,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:9 - About noon the next day, while they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:10 - He became hungry and wanted to eat, but while they were preparing the meal, a trance came over him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:14 - But Peter said, "Certainly not, Lord, for I have never eaten anything defiled and ritually unclean!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:16 - This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:17 - Now while Peter was puzzling over what the vision he had seen could signify, the men sent by Cornelius had learned where Simon's house was and approached the gate.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:19 - While Peter was still thinking seriously about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Look! Three men are looking for you.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:21 - So Peter went down to the men and said, "Here I am, the person you're looking for. Why have you come?"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:22 - They said, "Cornelius the centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man, well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear a message from you."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:23 - So Peter invited them in and entertained them as guests. On the next day he got up and set out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:24 - The following day he entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting anxiously for them and had called together his relatives and close friends.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:25 - So when Peter came in, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:26 - But Peter helped him up, saying, "Stand up. I too am a mere mortal."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:34 - Then Peter started speaking: "I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism in dealing with people,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:1 - Now the apostles and the brothers who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles too had accepted the word of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:4 - But Peter began and explained it to them point by point, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:7 - I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Get up, Peter; slaughter and eat!'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:9 - But the voice replied a second time from heaven, 'What God has made clean, you must not consider ritually unclean!'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:10 - This happened three times, and then everything was pulled up to heaven again.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:12 - The Spirit told me to accompany them without hesitation. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man's house.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:15 - Then as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as he did on us at the beginning.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:16 - And I remembered the word of the Lord, as he used to say, 'John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:17 - Therefore if God gave them the same gift as he also gave us after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to hinder God?"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:18 - When they heard this, they ceased their objections and praised God, saying, "So then, God has granted the repentance that leads to life even to the Gentiles."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:22 - A report about them came to the attention of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:25 - Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to look for Saul,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:26 - and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught a significant number of people. Now it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:27 - At that time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:28 - One of them, named Agabus, got up and predicted by the Spirit that a severe famine was about to come over the whole inhabited world. (This took place during the reign of Claudius.)
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:29 - So the disciples, each in accordance with his financial ability, decided to send relief to the brothers living in Judea.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:1 - About that time King Herod laid hands on some from the church to harm them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:2 - He had James, the brother of John, executed with a sword.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:3 - When he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter too. (This took place during the feast of Unleavened Bread.)
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:5 - So Peter was kept in prison, but those in the church were earnestly praying to God for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:6 - On that very night before Herod was going to bring him out for trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, while guards in front of the door were keeping watch over the prison.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:7 - Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the prison cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, "Get up quickly!" And the chains fell off Peter's wrists.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:8 - The angel said to him, "Fasten your belt and put on your sandals." Peter did so. Then the angel said to him, "Put on your cloak and follow me."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:9 - Peter went out and followed him; he did not realize that what was happening through the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:10 - After they had passed the first and second guards, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went outside and walked down one narrow street, when at once the angel left him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:13 - When he knocked at the door of the outer gate, a slave girl named Rhoda answered.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:14 - When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed she did not open the gate, but ran back in and told them that Peter was standing at the gate.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:15 - But they said to her, "You've lost your mind!" But she kept insisting that it was Peter, and they kept saying, "It is his angel!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:16 - Now Peter continued knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were greatly astonished.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:17 - He motioned to them with his hand to be quiet and then related how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, "Tell James and the brothers these things," and then he left and went to another place.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:18 - At daybreak there was great consternation among the soldiers over what had become of Peter.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:19 - When Herod had searched for him and did not find him, he questioned the guards and commanded that they be led away to execution. Then Herod went down from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:20 - Now Herod was having an angry quarrel with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they joined together and presented themselves before him. And after convincing Blastus, the king's personal assistant, to help them, they asked for peace, because their country's food supply was provided by the king's country.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:21 - On a day determined in advance, Herod put on his royal robes, sat down on the judgment seat, and made a speech to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:22 - But the crowd began to shout, "The voice of a god, and not of a man!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:23 - Immediately an angel of the Lord struck Herod down because he did not give the glory to God, and he was eaten by worms and died.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:24 - But the word of God kept on increasing and multiplying.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:25 - So Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem when they had completed their mission, bringing along with them John Mark.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:1 - Now there were these prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen (a close friend of Herod the tetrarch from childhood) and Saul.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:2 - While they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:5 - When they arrived in Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. (Now they also had John as their assistant.)
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:6 - When they had crossed over the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a magician, a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:8 - But the magician Elymas (for that is the way his name is translated) opposed them, trying to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:11 - Now look, the hand of the Lord is against you, and you will be blind, unable to see the sun for a time!" Immediately mistiness and darkness came over him, and he went around seeking people to lead him by the hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:13 - Then Paul and his companions put out to sea from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia, but John left them and returned to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:14 - Moving on from Perga, they arrived at Pisidian Antioch, and on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:15 - After the reading from the law and the prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent them a message, saying, "Brothers, if you have any message of exhortation for the people, speak it."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:16 - So Paul stood up, gestured with his hand and said, "Men of Israel, and you Gentiles who fear God, listen:
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:25 - But while John was completing his mission, he said repeatedly, 'What do you think I am? I am not he. But look, one is coming after me. I am not worthy to untie the sandals on his feet!'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:29 - When they had accomplished everything that was written about him, they took him down from the cross and placed him in a tomb.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:30 - But God raised him from the dead,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:34 - But regarding the fact that he has raised Jesus from the dead, never again to be in a state of decay, God has spoken in this way: 'I will give you the holy and trustworthy promises made to David.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:37 - but the one whom God raised up did not experience decay.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:42 - As Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people were urging them to speak about these things on the next Sabbath.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:43 - When the meeting of the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and God-fearing proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who were speaking with them and were persuading them to continue in the grace of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:44 - On the next Sabbath almost the whole city assembled together to hear the word of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:45 - But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and they began to contradict what Paul was saying by reviling him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:46 - Both Paul and Barnabas replied courageously, "It was necessary to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we are turning to the Gentiles.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:48 - When the Gentiles heard this, they began to rejoice and praise the word of the Lord, and all who had been appointed for eternal life believed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:49 - So the word of the Lord was spreading through the entire region.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:50 - But the Jews incited the God-fearing women of high social standing and the prominent men of the city, stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their region.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:51 - So after they shook the dust off their feet in protest against them, they went to Iconium.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:52 - And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:1 - The same thing happened in Iconium when Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a large group of both Jews and Greeks believed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:2 - But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:4 - But the population of the city was divided; some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:5 - When both the Gentiles and the Jews (together with their rulers) made an attempt to mistreat them and stone them,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:11 - So when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in human form!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:12 - They began to call Barnabas Zeus and Paul Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:14 - But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard about it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:19 - But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and after winning the crowds over, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, presuming him to be dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:20 - But after the disciples had surrounded him, he got up and went back into the city. On the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:23 - When they had appointed elders for them in the various churches, with prayer and fasting they entrusted them to the protection of the Lord in whom they had believed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:27 - When they arrived and gathered the church together, they reported all the things God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith for the Gentiles.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:28 - So they spent considerable time with the disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:4 - When they arrived in Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they reported all the things God had done with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:6 - Both the apostles and the elders met together to deliberate about this matter.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:7 - After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, "Brothers, you know that some time ago God chose me to preach to the Gentiles so they would hear the message of the gospel and believe.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:12 - The whole group kept quiet and listened to Barnabas and Paul while they explained all the miraculous signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:13 - After they stopped speaking, James replied, "Brothers, listen to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:31 - When they read it aloud, the people rejoiced at its encouragement.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:33 - After they had spent some time there, they were sent off in peace by the brothers to those who had sent them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:35 - But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming (along with many others) the word of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:37 - Barnabas wanted to bring John called Mark along with them too,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:38 - but Paul insisted that they should not take along this one who had left them in Pamphylia and had not accompanied them in the work.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:40 - but Paul chose Silas and set out, commended to the grace of the Lord by the brothers and sisters.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:41 - He passed through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:1 - He also came to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple named Timothy was there, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but whose father was a Greek.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:4 - As they went through the towns, they passed on the decrees that had been decided on by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the Gentile believers to obey.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:6 - They went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been prevented by the Holy Spirit from speaking the message in the province of Asia.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:8 - so they passed through Mysia and went down to Troas.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:10 - After Paul saw the vision, we attempted immediately to go over to Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to proclaim the good news to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:12 - and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of that district of Macedonia, a Roman colony. We stayed in this city for some days.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:15 - After she and her household were baptized, she urged us, "If you consider me to be a believer in the Lord, come and stay in my house." And she persuaded us.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:16 - Now as we were going to the place of prayer, a slave girl met us who had a spirit that enabled her to foretell the future by supernatural means. She brought her owners a great profit by fortune-telling.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:18 - She continued to do this for many days. But Paul became greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!" And it came out of her at once.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:19 - But when her owners saw their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the authorities.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:25 - About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the rest of the prisoners were listening to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:26 - Suddenly a great earthquake occurred, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. Immediately all the doors flew open, and the bonds of all the prisoners came loose.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:27 - When the jailer woke up and saw the doors of the prison standing open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, because he assumed the prisoners had escaped.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:28 - But Paul called out loudly, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:29 - Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell down trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:31 - They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:35 - At daybreak the magistrates sent their police officers, saying, "Release those men."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:36 - The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent orders to release you. So come out now and go in peace."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:37 - But Paul said to the police officers, "They had us beaten in public without a proper trial - even though we are Roman citizens - and they threw us in prison. And now they want to send us away secretly? Absolutely not! They themselves must come and escort us out!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:38 - The police officers reported these words to the magistrates. They were frightened when they heard Paul and Silas were Roman citizens
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:40 - When they came out of the prison, they entered Lydia's house, and when they saw the brothers, they encouraged them and then departed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:1 - After they traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:2 - Paul went to the Jews in the synagogue, as he customarily did, and on three Sabbath days he addressed them from the scriptures,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:5 - But the Jews became jealous, and gathering together some worthless men from the rabble in the marketplace, they formed a mob and set the city in an uproar. They attacked Jason's house, trying to find Paul and Silas to bring them out to the assembly.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:6 - When they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city officials, screaming, "These people who have stirred up trouble throughout the world have come here too,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:8 - They caused confusion among the crowd and the city officials who heard these things.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:10 - The brothers sent Paul and Silas off to Berea at once, during the night. When they arrived, they went to the Jewish synagogue.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:11 - These Jews were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they eagerly received the message, examining the scriptures carefully every day to see if these things were so.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:13 - But when the Jews from Thessalonica heard that Paul had also proclaimed the word of God in Berea, they came there too, inciting and disturbing the crowds.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:14 - Then the brothers sent Paul away to the coast at once, but Silas and Timothy remained in Berea.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:15 - Those who accompanied Paul escorted him as far as Athens, and after receiving an order for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they left.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:16 - While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was greatly upset because he saw the city was full of idols.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:18 - Also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him, and some were asking, "What does this foolish babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods." (They said this because he was proclaiming the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.)
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:21 - (All the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there used to spend their time in nothing else than telling or listening to something new.)
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:22 - So Paul stood before the Areopagus and said, "Men of Athens, I see that you are very religious in all respects.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:32 - Now when they heard about the resurrection from the dead, some began to scoff, but others said, "We will hear you again about this."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:34 - But some people joined him and believed. Among them were Dionysius, who was a member of the Areopagus, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:1 - After this Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:4 - He addressed both Jews and Greeks in the synagogue every Sabbath, attempting to persuade them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:5 - Now when Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul became wholly absorbed with proclaiming the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:6 - When they opposed him and reviled him, he protested by shaking out his clothes and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am guiltless! From now on I will go to the Gentiles!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:8 - Crispus, the president of the synagogue, believed in the Lord together with his entire household, and many of the Corinthians who heard about it believed and were baptized.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:9 - The Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:12 - Now while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews attacked Paul together and brought him before the judgment seat,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:14 - But just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of some crime or serious piece of villainy, I would have been justified in accepting the complaint of you Jews,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:15 - but since it concerns points of disagreement about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I will not be a judge of these things!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:17 - So they all seized Sosthenes, the president of the synagogue, and began to beat him in front of the judgment seat. Yet none of these things were of any concern to Gallio.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:18 - Paul, after staying many more days in Corinth, said farewell to the brothers and sailed away to Syria accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. He had his hair cut off at Cenchrea because he had made a vow.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:19 - When they reached Ephesus, Paul left Priscilla and Aquila behind there, but he himself went into the synagogue and addressed the Jews.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:20 - When they asked him to stay longer, he would not consent,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:21 - but said farewell to them and added, "I will come back to you again if God wills." Then he set sail from Ephesus,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:26 - He began to speak out fearlessly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained the way of God to him more accurately.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:27 - When Apollos wanted to cross over to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he assisted greatly those who had believed by grace,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:1 - While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul went through the inland regions and came to Ephesus. He found some disciples there
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:2 - and said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They replied, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:3 - So Paul said, "Into what then were you baptized?" "Into John's baptism," they replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:4 - Paul said, "John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:5 - When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:7 - (Now there were about twelve men in all.)
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:8 - So Paul entered the synagogue and spoke out fearlessly for three months, addressing and convincing them about the kingdom of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:10 - This went on for two years, so that all who lived in the province of Asia, both Jews and Greeks, heard the word of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:15 - But the evil spirit replied to them, "I know about Jesus and I am acquainted with Paul, but who are you?"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:17 - This became known to all who lived in Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks; fear came over them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was praised.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:19 - Large numbers of those who had practiced magic collected their books and burned them up in the presence of everyone. When the value of the books was added up, it was found to total fifty thousand silver coins.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:21 - Now after all these things had taken place, Paul resolved to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia. He said, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:22 - So after sending two of his assistants, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, he himself stayed on for a while in the province of Asia.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:23 - At that time a great disturbance took place concerning the Way.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:27 - There is danger not only that this business of ours will come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be regarded as nothing, and she whom all the province of Asia and the world worship will suffer the loss of her greatness."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:28 - When they heard this they became enraged and began to shout, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:30 - But when Paul wanted to enter the public assembly, the disciples would not let him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:31 - Even some of the provincial authorities who were his friends sent a message to him, urging him not to venture into the theater.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:33 - Some of the crowd concluded it was about Alexander because the Jews had pushed him to the front. Alexander, gesturing with his hand, was wanting to make a defense before the public assembly.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:34 - But when they recognized that he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!" for about two hours.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:35 - After the city secretary quieted the crowd, he said, "Men of Ephesus, what person is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is the keeper of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image that fell from heaven?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:1 - After the disturbance had ended, Paul sent for the disciples, and after encouraging them and saying farewell, he left to go to Macedonia.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:2 - After he had gone through those regions and spoken many words of encouragement to the believers there, he came to Greece,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:4 - Paul was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, and Timothy, as well as Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:6 - We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and within five days we came to the others in Troas, where we stayed for seven days.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:7 - On the first day of the week, when we met to break bread, Paul began to speak to the people, and because he intended to leave the next day, he extended his message until midnight.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:8 - (Now there were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were meeting.)
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:10 - But Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, put his arms around him, and said, "Do not be distressed, for he is still alive!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:11 - Then Paul went back upstairs, and after he had broken bread and eaten, he talked with them a long time, until dawn. Then he left.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:12 - They took the boy home alive and were greatly comforted.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:13 - We went on ahead to the ship and put out to sea for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for he had arranged it this way. He himself was intending to go there by land.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:14 - When he met us in Assos, we took him aboard and went to Mitylene.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:15 - We set sail from there, and on the following day we arrived off Chios. The next day we approached Samos, and the day after that we arrived at Miletus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:17 - From Miletus he sent a message to Ephesus, telling the elders of the church to come to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:18 - When they arrived, he said to them, "You yourselves know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I set foot in the province of Asia,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:34 - You yourselves know that these hands of mine provided for my needs and the needs of those who were with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:37 - They all began to weep loudly, and hugged Paul and kissed him,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:38 - especially saddened by what he had said, that they were not going to see him again. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:1 - After we tore ourselves away from them, we put out to sea, and sailing a straight course, we came to Cos, on the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:3 - After we sighted Cyprus and left it behind on our port side, we sailed on to Syria and put in at Tyre, because the ship was to unload its cargo there.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:5 - When our time was over, we left and went on our way. All of them, with their wives and children, accompanied us outside of the city. After kneeling down on the beach and praying,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:6 - we said farewell to one another. Then we went aboard the ship, and they returned to their own homes.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:7 - We continued the voyage from Tyre and arrived at Ptolemais, and when we had greeted the brothers, we stayed with them for one day.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:8 - On the next day we left and came to Caesarea, and entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:9 - (He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.)
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:10 - While we remained there for a number of days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:12 - When we heard this, both we and the local people begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:13 - Then Paul replied, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be tied up, but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:14 - Because he could not be persuaded, we said no more except, "The Lord's will be done."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:15 - After these days we got ready and started up to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:16 - Some of the disciples from Caesarea came along with us too, and brought us to the house of Mnason of Cyprus, a disciple from the earliest times, with whom we were to stay.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:17 - When we arrived in Jerusalem, the brothers welcomed us gladly.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:18 - The next day Paul went in with us to see James, and all the elders were there.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:20 - When they heard this, they praised God. Then they said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are who have believed, and they are all ardent observers of the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:21 - They have been informed about you - that you teach all the Jews now living among the Gentiles to abandon Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or live according to our customs.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:25 - But regarding the Gentiles who have believed, we have written a letter, having decided that they should avoid meat that has been sacrificed to idols and blood and what has been strangled and sexual immorality."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:27 - When the seven days were almost over, the Jews from the province of Asia who had seen him in the temple area stirred up the whole crowd and seized him,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:31 - While they were trying to kill him, a report was sent up to the commanding officer of the cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:32 - He immediately took soldiers and centurions and ran down to the crowd. When they saw the commanding officer and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:34 - But some in the crowd shouted one thing, and others something else, and when the commanding officer was unable to find out the truth because of the disturbance, he ordered Paul to be brought into the barracks.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:35 - When he came to the steps, Paul had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:37 - As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he said to the commanding officer, "May I say something to you?" The officer replied, "Do you know Greek?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:39 - Paul answered, "I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of an important city. Please allow me to speak to the people."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:40 - When the commanding officer had given him permission, Paul stood on the steps and gestured to the people with his hand. When they had become silent, he addressed them in Aramaic,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:2 - (When they heard that he was addressing them in Aramaic, they became even quieter.) Then Paul said,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:3 - "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated with strictness under Gamaliel according to the law of our ancestors, and was zealous for God just as all of you are today.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:8 - I answered, 'Who are you, Lord?' He said to me, 'I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:9 - Those who were with me saw the light, but did not understand the voice of the one who was speaking to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:10 - So I asked, 'What should I do, Lord?' The Lord said to me, 'Get up and go to Damascus; there you will be told about everything that you have been designated to do.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:11 - Since I could not see because of the brilliance of that light, I came to Damascus led by the hand of those who were with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:14 - Then he said, 'The God of our ancestors has already chosen you to know his will, to see the Righteous One, and to hear a command from his mouth,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:22 - The crowd was listening to him until he said this. Then they raised their voices and shouted, "Away with this man from the earth! For he should not be allowed to live!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:23 - While they were screaming and throwing off their cloaks and tossing dust in the air,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:25 - When they had stretched him out for the lash, Paul said to the centurion standing nearby, "Is it legal for you to lash a man who is a Roman citizen without a proper trial?"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:26 - When the centurion heard this, he went to the commanding officer and reported it, saying, "What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:27 - So the commanding officer came and asked Paul, "Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?" He replied, "Yes."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:28 - The commanding officer answered, "I acquired this citizenship with a large sum of money." "But I was even born a citizen," Paul replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:29 - Then those who were about to interrogate him stayed away from him, and the commanding officer was frightened when he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had had him tied up.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:30 - The next day, because the commanding officer wanted to know the true reason Paul was being accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole council to assemble. He then brought Paul down and had him stand before them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:1 - Paul looked directly at the council and said, "Brothers, I have lived my life with a clear conscience before God to this day."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:2 - At that the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:4 - Those standing near him said, "Do you dare insult God's high priest?"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:6 - Then when Paul noticed that part of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, he shouted out in the council, "Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. I am on trial concerning the hope of the resurrection of the dead!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:7 - When he said this, an argument began between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:8 - (For the Sadducees say there is no resurrection, or angel, or spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.)
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:9 - There was a great commotion, and some experts in the law from the party of the Pharisees stood up and protested strongly, "We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:10 - When the argument became so great the commanding officer feared that they would tear Paul to pieces, he ordered the detachment to go down, take him away from them by force, and bring him into the barracks.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:11 - The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, "Have courage, for just as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:12 - When morning came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink anything until they had killed Paul.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:13 - There were more than forty of them who formed this conspiracy.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:15 - So now you and the council request the commanding officer to bring him down to you, as if you were going to determine his case by conducting a more thorough inquiry. We are ready to kill him before he comes near this place."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:16 - But when the son of Paul's sister heard about the ambush, he came and entered the barracks and told Paul.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:17 - Paul called one of the centurions and said, "Take this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to report to him."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:19 - The commanding officer took him by the hand, withdrew privately, and asked, "What is it that you want to report to me?"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:20 - He replied, "The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as if they were going to inquire more thoroughly about him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:28 - Since I wanted to know what charge they were accusing him of, I brought him down to their council.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:29 - I found he was accused with reference to controversial questions about their law, but no charge against him deserved death or imprisonment.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:32 - The next day they let the horsemen go on with him, and they returned to the barracks.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:34 - When the governor had read the letter, he asked what province he was from. When he learned that he was from Cilicia,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:1 - After five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and an attorney named Tertullus, and they brought formal charges against Paul to the governor.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:2 - When Paul had been summoned, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, "We have experienced a lengthy time of peace through your rule, and reforms are being made in this nation through your foresight.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:4 - But so that I may not delay you any further, I beg you to hear us briefly with your customary graciousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:9 - The Jews also joined in the verbal attack, claiming that these things were true.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:14 - But I confess this to you, that I worship the God of our ancestors according to the Way (which they call a sect), believing everything that is according to the law and that is written in the prophets.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:16 - This is the reason I do my best to always have a clear conscience toward God and toward people.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:17 - After several years I came to bring to my people gifts for the poor and to present offerings,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:22 - Then Felix, who understood the facts concerning the Way more accurately, adjourned their hearing, saying, "When Lysias the commanding officer comes down, I will decide your case."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:24 - Some days later, when Felix arrived with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:25 - While Paul was discussing righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, "Go away for now, and when I have an opportunity, I will send for you."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:26 - At the same time he was also hoping that Paul would give him money, and for this reason he sent for Paul as often as possible and talked with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:27 - After two years had passed, Porcius Festus succeeded Felix, and because he wanted to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:2 - So the chief priests and the most prominent men of the Jews brought formal charges against Paul to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:4 - Then Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesarea, and he himself intended to go there shortly.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:6 - After Festus had stayed not more than eight or ten days among them, he went down to Caesarea, and the next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered Paul to be brought.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:7 - When he arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges that they were not able to prove.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:9 - But Festus, wanting to do the Jews a favor, asked Paul, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be tried before me there on these charges?"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:10 - Paul replied, "I am standing before Caesar's judgment seat, where I should be tried. I have done nothing wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:11 - If then I am in the wrong and have done anything that deserves death, I am not trying to escape dying, but if not one of their charges against me is true, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:13 - After several days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to pay their respects to Festus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:14 - While they were staying there many days, Festus explained Paul's case to the king to get his opinion, saying, "There is a man left here as a prisoner by Felix.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:20 - Because I was at a loss how I could investigate these matters, I asked if he were willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there on these charges.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:21 - But when Paul appealed to be kept in custody for the decision of His Majesty the Emperor, I ordered him to be kept under guard until I could send him to Caesar."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:22 - Agrippa said to Festus, "I would also like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he replied, "you will hear him."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:25 - But I found that he had done nothing that deserved death, and when he appealed to His Majesty the Emperor, I decided to send him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:1 - So Agrippa said to Paul, "You have permission to speak for yourself." Then Paul held out his hand and began his defense:
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:15 - So I said, 'Who are you, Lord?' And the Lord replied, 'I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:24 - As Paul was saying these things in his defense, Festus exclaimed loudly, "You have lost your mind, Paul! Your great learning is driving you insane!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:25 - But Paul replied, "I have not lost my mind, most excellent Festus, but am speaking true and rational words.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:28 - Agrippa said to Paul, "In such a short time are you persuading me to become a Christian?"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:29 - Paul replied, "I pray to God that whether in a short or a long time not only you but also all those who are listening to me today could become such as I am, except for these chains."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:32 - Agrippa said to Festus, "This man could have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:1 - When it was decided we would sail to Italy, they handed over Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan Cohort named Julius.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:2 - We went on board a ship from Adramyttium that was about to sail to various ports along the coast of the province of Asia and put out to sea, accompanied by Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:7 - We sailed slowly for many days and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus. Because the wind prevented us from going any farther, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:9 - Since considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the fast was already over, Paul advised them,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:11 - But the centurion was more convinced by the captain and the ship's owner than by what Paul said.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:12 - Because the harbor was not suitable to spend the winter in, the majority decided to put out to sea from there. They hoped that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete facing southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:13 - When a gentle south wind sprang up, they thought they could carry out their purpose, so they weighed anchor and sailed close along the coast of Crete.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:14 - Not long after this, a hurricane-force wind called the northeaster blew down from the island.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:15 - When the ship was caught in it and could not head into the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:18 - The next day, because we were violently battered by the storm, they began throwing the cargo overboard,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:20 - When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and a violent storm continued to batter us, we finally abandoned all hope of being saved.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:27 - When the fourteenth night had come, while we were being driven across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors suspected they were approaching some land.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:28 - They took soundings and found the water was twenty fathoms deep; when they had sailed a little farther they took soundings again and found it was fifteen fathoms deep.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:30 - Then when the sailors tried to escape from the ship and were lowering the ship's boat into the sea, pretending that they were going to put out anchors from the bow,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:33 - As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day you have been in suspense and have gone without food; you have eaten nothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:35 - After he said this, Paul took bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all, broke it, and began to eat.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:36 - So all of them were encouraged and took food themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:37 - (We were in all two hundred seventy-six persons on the ship.)
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:38 - When they had eaten enough to be satisfied, they lightened the ship by throwing the wheat into the sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:39 - When day came, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:41 - But they encountered a patch of crosscurrents and ran the ship aground; the bow stuck fast and could not be moved, but the stern was being broken up by the force of the waves.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:42 - Now the soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners so that none of them would escape by swimming away.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:43 - But the centurion, wanting to save Paul's life, prevented them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:44 - and the rest were to follow, some on planks and some on pieces of the ship. And in this way all were brought safely to land.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:3 - When Paul had gathered a bundle of brushwood and was putting it on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:4 - When the local people saw the creature hanging from Paul's hand, they said to one another, "No doubt this man is a murderer! Although he has escaped from the sea, Justice herself has not allowed him to live!"
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:6 - But they were expecting that he was going to swell up or suddenly drop dead. So after they had waited a long time and had seen nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:7 - Now in the region around that place were fields belonging to the chief official of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and entertained us hospitably as guests for three days.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:8 - The father of Publius lay sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and after praying, placed his hands on him and healed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:11 - After three months we put out to sea in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered at the island and had the "Heavenly Twins" as its figurehead.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:16 - When we entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with the soldier who was guarding him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:17 - After three days Paul called the local Jewish leaders together. When they had assembled, he said to them, "Brothers, although I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our ancestors, from Jerusalem I was handed over as a prisoner to the Romans.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:19 - But when the Jews objected, I was forced to appeal to Caesar - not that I had some charge to bring against my own people.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:21 - They replied, "We have received no letters from Judea about you, nor have any of the brothers come from there and reported or said anything bad about you.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:22 - But we would like to hear from you what you think, for regarding this sect we know that people everywhere speak against it."
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:23 - They set a day to meet with him, and they came to him where he was staying in even greater numbers. From morning until evening he explained things to them, testifying about the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus from both the law of Moses and the prophets.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:24 - Some were convinced by what he said, but others refused to believe.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:25 - So they began to leave, unable to agree among themselves, after Paul made one last statement: "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly to your ancestors through the prophet Isaiah
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:30 - Paul lived there two whole years in his own rented quarters and welcomed all who came to him,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:13 - I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I may have some fruit even among you, just as I already have among the rest of the Gentiles.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:17 - For the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel from faith to faith, just as it is written, "The righteous by faith will live."
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:2 - Now we know that God's judgment is in accordance with truth against those who practice such things.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:3 - And do you think, whoever you are, when you judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape God's judgment?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:5 - But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourselves in the day of wrath, when God's righteous judgment is revealed!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:8 - but wrath and anger to those who live in selfish ambition and do not obey the truth but follow unrighteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:10 - but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, for the Jew first and also the Greek.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:25 - For circumcision has its value if you practice the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:4 - Absolutely not! Let God be proven true, and every human being shown up as a liar, just as it is written: "so that you will be justified in your words and will prevail when you are judged."
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:5 - But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is he? (I am speaking in human terms.)
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:19 - Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:21 - But now apart from the law the righteousness of God (which is attested by the law and the prophets) has been disclosed -
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:22 - namely, the righteousness of God through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:29 - Or is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not the God of the Gentiles too? Yes, of the Gentiles too!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:3 - For what does the scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:4 - Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:5 - But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, his faith is credited as righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:20 - He did not waver in unbelief about the promise of God but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:23 - But the statement it was credited to him was not written only for Abraham's sake,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:4 - and endurance, character, and character, hope.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:5 - And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:8 - But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:13 - for before the law was given, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:16 - And the gift is not like the one who sinned. For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, led to condemnation, but the gracious gift from the many failures led to justification.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:20 - Now the law came in so that the transgression may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:8 - Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:10 - For the death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:11 - So you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:17 - But thanks be to God that though you were slaves to sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching you were entrusted to,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:18 - and having been freed from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:22 - But now, freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:23 - For the payoff of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:2 - For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of the marriage.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:3 - So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she is joined to another man, she is not an adulteress.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:6 - But now we have been released from the law, because we have died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:8 - But sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of wrong desires. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:9 - And I was once alive apart from the law, but with the coming of the commandment sin became alive
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:14 - For we know that the law is spiritual - but I am unspiritual, sold into slavery to sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:16 - But if I do what I don't want, I agree that the law is good.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:17 - But now it is no longer me doing it, but sin that lives in me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:18 - For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I want to do the good, but I cannot do it.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:20 - Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer me doing it but sin that lives in me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:23 - But I see a different law in my members waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that is in my members.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:25 - Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:5 - For those who live according to the flesh have their outlook shaped by the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit have their outlook shaped by the things of the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:6 - For the outlook of the flesh is death, but the outlook of the Spirit is life and peace,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:8 - Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:9 - You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:10 - But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is your life because of righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:11 - Moreover if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:13 - (for if you live according to the flesh, you will die), but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:17 - And if children, then heirs (namely, heirs of God and also fellow heirs with Christ) - if indeed we suffer with him so we may also be glorified with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:24 - For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:25 - But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with endurance.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:26 - In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how we should pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:27 - And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes on behalf of the saints according to God's will.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:30 - And those he predestined, he also called; and those he called, he also justified; and those he justified, he also glorified.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:34 - Who is the one who will condemn? Christ is the one who died (and more than that, he was raised), who is at the right hand of God, and who also is interceding for us.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:6 - It is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all those who are descended from Israel are truly Israel,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:13 - just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:18 - So then, God has mercy on whom he chooses to have mercy, and he hardens whom he chooses to harden.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:21 - Has the potter no right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for special use and another for ordinary use?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:22 - But what if God, willing to demonstrate his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience the objects of wrath prepared for destruction?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:27 - And Isaiah cries out on behalf of Israel, "Though the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:30 - What shall we say then? - that the Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness obtained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:31 - but Israel even though pursuing a law of righteousness did not attain it.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:6 - But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down)
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:10 - For with the heart one believes and thus has righteousness and with the mouth one confesses and thus has salvation.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:14 - How are they to call on one they have not believed in? And how are they to believe in one they have not heard of? And how are they to hear without someone preaching to them?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:15 - And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How timely is the arrival of those who proclaim the good news."
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:17 - Consequently faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the preached word of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:20 - And Isaiah is even bold enough to say, "I was found by those who did not seek me; I became well known to those who did not ask for me."
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:21 - But about Israel he says, "All day long I held out my hands to this disobedient and stubborn people!"
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:6 - And if it is by grace, it is no longer by works, otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:7 - What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was diligently seeking, but the elect obtained it. The rest were hardened,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:12 - Now if their transgression means riches for the world and their defeat means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full restoration bring?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:16 - If the first portion of the dough offered is holy, then the whole batch is holy, and if the root is holy, so too are the branches.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:17 - Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among them and participated in the richness of the olive root,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:18 - do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:20 - Granted! They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but fear!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:22 - Notice therefore the kindness and harshness of God - harshness toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness toward you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:28 - In regard to the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but in regard to election they are dearly loved for the sake of the fathers.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:30 - Just as you were formerly disobedient to God, but have now received mercy due to their disobedience,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:4 - For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members serve the same function,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:5 - so we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually we are members who belong to one another.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:6 - And we have different gifts according to the grace given to us. If the gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:1 - Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except by God's appointment, and the authorities that exist have been instituted by God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:2 - So the person who resists such authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:3 - (for rulers cause no fear for good conduct but for bad). Do you desire not to fear authority? Do good and you will receive its commendation,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:4 - for it is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be in fear, for it does not bear the sword in vain. It is God's servant to administer retribution on the wrongdoer.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:12 - The night has advanced toward dawn; the day is near. So then we must lay aside the works of darkness, and put on the weapons of light.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:1 - Now receive the one who is weak in the faith, and do not have disputes over differing opinions.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:2 - One person believes in eating everything, but the weak person eats only vegetables.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:5 - One person regards one day holier than other days, and another regards them all alike. Each must be fully convinced in his own mind.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:10 - But you who eat vegetables only - why do you judge your brother or sister? And you who eat everything - why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:15 - For if your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy by your food someone for whom Christ died.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:23 - But the man who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not do so from faith, and whatever is not from faith is sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:1 - But we who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not just please ourselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:5 - Now may the God of endurance and comfort give you unity with one another in accordance with Christ Jesus,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 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."
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:13 - Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in him, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:15 - But I have written more boldly to you on some points so as to remind you, because of the grace given to me by God
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:20 - And in this way I desire to preach where Christ has not been named, so as not to build on another person's foundation,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:23 - But now there is nothing more to keep me in these regions, and I have for many years desired to come to you
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:25 - But now I go to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:29 - and I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of Christ's blessing.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:30 - Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to join fervently with me in prayer to God on my behalf.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:33 - Now may the God of peace be with all of you. Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:1 - Now I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:17 - Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles contrary to the teaching that you learned. Avoid them!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:19 - Your obedience is known to all and thus I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:20 - The God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:25 - Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that had been kept secret for long ages,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:26 - but now is disclosed, and through the prophetic scriptures has been made known to all the nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith -
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:10 - I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree together, to end your divisions, and to be united by the same mind and purpose.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:12 - Now I mean this, that each of you is saying, "I am with Paul," or "I am with Apollos," or "I am with Cephas," or "I am with Christ."
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:16 - (I also baptized the household of Stephanus. Otherwise, I do not remember whether I baptized anyone else.)
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:18 - For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:23 - but we preach about a crucified Christ, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:24 - But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:30 - He is the reason you have a relationship with Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:6 - Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:10 - God has revealed these to us by the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:12 - Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:14 - The unbeliever does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. And he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:15 - The one who is spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is understood by no one.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:16 - For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to advise him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:8 - The one who plants and the one who waters work as one, but each will receive his reward according to his work.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:10 - According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master-builder I laid a foundation, but someone else builds on it. And each one must be careful how he builds.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:15 - If someone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:23 - and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:2 - Now what is sought in stewards is that one be found faithful.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:3 - So for me, it is a minor matter that I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:4 - For I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not acquitted because of this. The one who judges me is the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:7 - For who concedes you any superiority? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast as though you did not?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:10 - We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, we are dishonored!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:19 - But I will come to you soon, if the Lord is willing, and I will find out not only the talk of these arrogant people, but also their power.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:3 - For even though I am absent physically, I am present in spirit. And I have already judged the one who did this, just as though I were present.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:11 - But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who calls himself a Christian who is sexually immoral, or greedy, or an idolater, or verbally abusive, or a drunkard, or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:13 - But God will judge those outside. Remove the evil person from among you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:13 - "Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both." The body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:14 - Now God indeed raised the Lord and he will raise us by his power.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:17 - But the one united with the Lord is one spirit with him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:18 - Flee sexual immorality! "Every sin a person commits is outside of the body" - but the immoral person sins against his own body.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:1 - Now with regard to the issues you wrote about: "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman."
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:2 - But because of immoralities, each man should have relations with his own wife and each woman with her own husband.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:3 - A husband should give to his wife her sexual rights, and likewise a wife to her husband.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:4 - It is not the wife who has the rights to her own body, but the husband. In the same way, it is not the husband who has the rights to his own body, but the wife.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:6 - I say this as a concession, not as a command.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:7 - I wish that everyone was as I am. But each has his own gift from God, one this way, another that.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:8 - To the unmarried and widows I say that it is best for them to remain as I am.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:9 - But if they do not have self-control, let them get married. For it is better to marry than to burn with sexual desire.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:10 - To the married I give this command - not I, but the Lord - a wife should not divorce a husband
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:11 - (but if she does, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband), and a husband should not divorce his wife.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:12 - To the rest I say - I, not the Lord - if a brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is happy to live with him, he should not divorce her.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:14 - For the unbelieving husband is sanctified because of the wife, and the unbelieving wife because of her husband. Otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:15 - But if the unbeliever wants a divorce, let it take place. In these circumstances the brother or sister is not bound. God has called you in peace.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:25 - With regard to the question about people who have never married, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my opinion as one shown mercy by the Lord to be trustworthy.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:28 - But if you marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face difficult circumstances, and I am trying to spare you such problems.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:32 - And I want you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:33 - But a married man is concerned about the things of the world, how to please his wife,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:34 - and he is divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, to be holy both in body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the things of the world, how to please her husband.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:35 - I am saying this for your benefit, not to place a limitation on you, but so that without distraction you may give notable and constant service to the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:37 - But the man who is firm in his commitment, and is under no necessity but has control over his will, and has decided in his own mind to keep his own virgin, does well.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:38 - So then, the one who marries his own virgin does well, but the one who does not, does better.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:39 - A wife is bound as long as her husband is living. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes (only someone in the Lord).
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:40 - But in my opinion, she will be happier if she remains as she is - and I think that I too have the Spirit of God!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:1 - With regard to food sacrificed to idols, we know that "we all have knowledge." Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:7 - But this knowledge is not shared by all. And some, by being accustomed to idols in former times, eat this food as an idol sacrifice, and their conscience, because it is weak, is defiled.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:8 - Now food will not bring us close to God. We are no worse if we do not eat and no better if we do.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:9 - But be careful that this liberty of yours does not become a hindrance to the weak.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:12 - If you sin against your brothers or sisters in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:15 - But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing these things so that something will be done for me. In fact, it would be better for me to die than - no one will deprive me of my reason for boasting!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:17 - For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward. But if I do it unwillingly, I am entrusted with a responsibility.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:23 - I do all these things because of the gospel, so that I can be a participant in it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:24 - Do you not know that all the runners in a stadium compete, but only one receives the prize? So run to win.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:25 - Each competitor must exercise self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:1 - For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:4 - and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they were all drinking from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:6 - These things happened as examples for us, so that we will not crave evil things as they did.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:11 - These things happened to them as examples and were written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:13 - No trial has overtaken you that is not faced by others. And God is faithful: He will not let you be tried beyond what you are able to bear, but with the trial will also provide a way out so that you may be able to endure it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:20 - No, I mean that what the pagans sacrifice is to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:29 - I do not mean yours but the other person's. For why is my freedom being judged by another's conscience?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:30 - If I partake with thankfulness, why am I blamed for the food that I give thanks for?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:2 - I praise you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions just as I passed them on to you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:3 - But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:5 - But any woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered disgraces her head, for it is one and the same thing as having a shaved head.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:6 - For if a woman will not cover her head, she should cut off her hair. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, she should cover her head.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:7 - For a man should not have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:12 - For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman. But all things come from God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:15 - but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:17 - Now in giving the following instruction I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:21 - For when it is time to eat, everyone proceeds with his own supper. One is hungry and another becomes drunk.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:28 - A person should examine himself first, and in this way let him eat the bread and drink of the cup.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:32 - But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned with the world.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:34 - If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that when you assemble it does not lead to judgment. I will give directions about other matters when I come.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:1 - With regard to spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:4 - Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:6 - And there are different results, but the same God who produces all of them in everyone.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:7 - To each person the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the benefit of all.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:8 - For one person is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, and another the message of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:9 - to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:10 - to another performance of miracles, to another prophecy, and to another discernment of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:11 - It is one and the same Spirit, distributing as he decides to each person, who produces all these things.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:12 - For just as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body - though many - are one body, so too is Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:18 - But as a matter of fact, God has placed each of the members in the body just as he decided.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:19 - If they were all the same member, where would the body be?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:20 - So now there are many members, but one body.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:21 - The eye cannot say to the hand, "I do not need you," nor in turn can the head say to the foot, "I do not need you."
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:24 - but our presentable members do not need this. Instead, God has blended together the body, giving greater honor to the lesser member,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:31 - But you should be eager for the greater gifts. And now I will show you a way that is beyond comparison.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:1 - If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:2 - And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:3 - If I give away everything I own, and if I give over my body in order to boast, but do not have love, I receive no benefit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:6 - It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:8 - Love never ends. But if there are prophecies, they will be set aside; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be set aside.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:10 - but when what is perfect comes, the partial will be set aside.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:12 - For now we see in a mirror indirectly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:13 - And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:1 - Pursue love and be eager for the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:2 - For the one speaking in a tongue does not speak to people but to God, for no one understands; he is speaking mysteries by the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:3 - But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouragement, and consolation.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:4 - The one who speaks in a tongue builds himself up, but the one who prophesies builds up the church.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:5 - I wish you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be strengthened.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:14 - If I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unproductive.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:15 - What should I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing praises with my spirit, but I will also sing praises with my mind.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:20 - Brothers and sisters, do not be children in your thinking. Instead, be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:22 - So then, tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:23 - So if the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and unbelievers or uninformed people enter, will they not say that you have lost your minds?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:24 - But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or uninformed person enters, he will be convicted by all, he will be called to account by all.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:28 - But if there is no interpreter, he should be silent in the church. Let him speak to himself and to God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:29 - Two or three prophets should speak and the others should evaluate what is said.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:30 - And if someone sitting down receives a revelation, the person who is speaking should conclude.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:1 - Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel that I preached to you, that you received and on which you stand,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:6 - Then he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:8 - Last of all, as though to one born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:10 - But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been in vain. In fact, I worked harder than all of them - yet not I, but the grace of God with me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:12 - Now if Christ is being preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:13 - But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:14 - And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is futile and your faith is empty.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:15 - Also, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we have testified against God that he raised Christ from the dead, when in reality he did not raise him, if indeed the dead are not raised.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:17 - And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is useless; you are still in your sins.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:20 - But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:23 - But each in his own order: Christ, the firstfruits; then when Christ comes, those who belong to him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:27 - For he has put everything in subjection under his feet. But when it says "everything" has been put in subjection, it is clear that this does not include the one who put everything in subjection to him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:28 - And when all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the one who subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:35 - But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?"
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:38 - But God gives it a body just as he planned, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:39 - All flesh is not the same: People have one flesh, animals have another, birds and fish another.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:40 - And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. The glory of the heavenly body is one sort and the earthly another.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:51 - Listen, I will tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed -
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:54 - Now when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will happen, "Death has been swallowed up in victory."
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:56 - The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:57 - But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:1 - With regard to the collection for the saints, please follow the directions that I gave to the churches of Galatia:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:3 - Then, when I arrive, I will send those whom you approve with letters of explanation to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:4 - And if it seems advisable that I should go also, they will go with me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:5 - But I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia - for I will be going through Macedonia -
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:6 - and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you can send me on my journey, wherever I go.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:7 - For I do not want to see you now in passing, since I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:8 - But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:10 - Now if Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to fear among you, for he is doing the Lord's work, as I am too.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:11 - So then, let no one treat him with contempt. But send him on his way in peace so that he may come to me. For I am expecting him with the brothers.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:12 - With regard to our brother Apollos: I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was simply not his intention to come now. He will come when he has the opportunity.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:15 - Now, brothers and sisters, you know about the household of Stephanus, that as the first converts of Achaia, they devoted themselves to ministry for the saints. I urge you
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:17 - I was glad about the arrival of Stephanus, Fortunatus, and Achaicus because they have supplied the fellowship with you that I lacked.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:6 - But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort that you experience in your patient endurance of the same sufferings that we also suffer.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:12 - For our reason for confidence is this: the testimony of our conscience, that with pure motives and sincerity which are from God - not by human wisdom but by the grace of God - we conducted ourselves in the world, and all the more toward you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:13 - For we do not write you anything other than what you can read and also understand. But I hope that you will understand completely
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:18 - But as God is faithful, our message to you is not "Yes" and "No."
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:21 - But it is God who establishes us together with you in Christ and who anointed us,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:23 - Now I appeal to God as my witness, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:1 - So I made up my own mind not to pay you another painful visit.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:12 - Now when I arrived in Troas to proclaim the gospel of Christ, even though the Lord had opened a door of opportunity for me,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:14 - But thanks be to God who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and who makes known through us the fragrance that consists of the knowledge of him in every place.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:16 - to the latter an odor from death to death, but to the former a fragrance from life to life. And who is adequate for these things?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:4 - Now we have such confidence in God through Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:6 - who made us adequate to be servants of a new covenant not based on the letter but on the Spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:7 - But if the ministry that produced death - carved in letters on stone tablets - came with glory, so that the Israelites could not keep their eyes fixed on the face of Moses because of the glory of his face (a glory which was made ineffective),
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:17 - Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is freedom.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:18 - And we all, with unveiled faces reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, which is from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:3 - But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:5 - For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus' sake.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:7 - But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that the extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:12 - As a result, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:13 - But since we have the same spirit of faith as that shown in what has been written, "I believed; therefore I spoke," we also believe, therefore we also speak.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:18 - because we are not looking at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen. For what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:5 - Now the one who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave us the Spirit as a down payment.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:8 - Thus we are full of courage and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:11 - Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord, we try to persuade people, but we are well known to God, and I hope we are well known to your consciences too.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:16 - So then from now on we acknowledge no one from an outward human point of view. Even though we have known Christ from such a human point of view, now we do not know him in that way any longer.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:18 - And all these things are from God who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:1 - Now because we are fellow workers, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:10 - as sorrowful, but always rejoicing, as poor, but making many rich, as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:12 - Our affection for you is not restricted, but you are restricted in your affections for us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:13 - Now as a fair exchange - I speak as to my children - open wide your hearts to us also.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:14 - Do not become partners with those who do not believe, for what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:15 - And what agreement does Christ have with Beliar? Or what does a believer share in common with an unbeliever?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:16 - And what mutual agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said, "I will live in them and will walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people."
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:7 - We were encouraged not only by his arrival, but also by the encouragement you gave him, as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your deep concern for me, so that I rejoiced more than ever.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:10 - For sadness as intended by God produces a repentance that leads to salvation, leaving no regret, but worldly sadness brings about death.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:13 - Therefore we have been encouraged. And in addition to our own encouragement, we rejoiced even more at the joy of Titus, because all of you have refreshed his spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:1 - Now we make known to you, brothers and sisters, the grace of God given to the churches of Macedonia,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:11 - to finish what you started, so that just as you wanted to do it eagerly, you can also complete it according to your means.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:13 - For I do not say this so there would be relief for others and suffering for you, but as a matter of equality.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:16 - But thanks be to God who put in the heart of Titus the same devotion I have for you,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:17 - because he not only accepted our request, but since he was very eager, he is coming to you of his own accord.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:18 - And we are sending along with him the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in spreading the gospel.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:19 - In addition, this brother has also been chosen by the churches as our traveling companion as we administer this generous gift to the glory of the Lord himself and to show our readiness to help.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:22 - And we are sending with them our brother whom we have tested many times and found eager in many matters, but who now is much more eager than ever because of the great confidence he has in you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:3 - But I am sending these brothers so that our boasting about you may not be empty in this case, so that you may be ready just as I kept telling them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:8 - And God is able to make all grace overflow to you so that because you have enough of everything in every way at all times, you will overflow in every good work.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:10 - Now God who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your supply of seed and will cause the harvest of your righteousness to grow.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:15 - Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:1 - Now I, Paul, appeal to you personally by the meekness and gentleness of Christ (I who am meek when present among you, but am full of courage toward you when away!) -
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:2 - now I ask that when I am present I may not have to be bold with the confidence that (I expect) I will dare to use against some who consider us to be behaving according to human standards.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:10 - because some say, "His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is weak and his speech is of no account."
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:13 - But we will not boast beyond certain limits, but will confine our boasting according to the limits of the work to which God has appointed us, that reaches even as far as you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:15 - Nor do we boast beyond certain limits in the work done by others, but we hope that as your faith continues to grow, our work may be greatly expanded among you according to our limits,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:17 - But the one who boasts must boast in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:3 - But I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by his treachery, your minds may be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:6 - And even if I am unskilled in speaking, yet I am certainly not so in knowledge. Indeed, we have made this plain to you in everything in every way.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:12 - And what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may eliminate any opportunity for those who want a chance to be regarded as our equals in the things they boast about.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:16 - I say again, let no one think that I am a fool. But if you do, then at least accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:5 - On behalf of such an individual I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except about my weaknesses.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:15 - Now I will most gladly spend and be spent for your lives! If I love you more, am I to be loved less?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:19 - Have you been thinking all this time that we have been defending ourselves to you? We are speaking in Christ before God, and everything we do, dear friends, is to build you up.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:6 - And I hope that you will realize that we have not failed the test!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:7 - Now we pray to God that you may not do anything wrong, not so that we may appear to have passed the test, but so that you may do what is right even if we may appear to have failed the test.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:9 - For we rejoice whenever we are weak, but you are strong. And we pray for this: that you may become fully qualified.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:11 - Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:15 - But when the one who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace was pleased
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:19 - But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:20 - I assure you that, before God, I am not lying about what I am writing to you!
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:22 - But I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:23 - They were only hearing, "The one who once persecuted us is now proclaiming the good news of the faith he once tried to destroy."
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:2 - I went there because of a revelation and presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I did so only in a private meeting with the influential people, to make sure that I was not running - or had not run - in vain.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:4 - Now this matter arose because of the false brothers with false pretenses who slipped in unnoticed to spy on our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, to make us slaves.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:6 - But from those who were influential (whatever they were makes no difference to me; God shows no favoritism between people) - those influential leaders added nothing to my message.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:9 - and when James, Cephas, and John, who had a reputation as pillars, recognized the grace that had been given to me, they gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, agreeing that we would go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:11 - But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he had clearly done wrong.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:12 - Until certain people came from James, he had been eating with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he stopped doing this and separated himself because he was afraid of those who were pro-circumcision.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:17 - But if while seeking to be justified in Christ we ourselves have also been found to be sinners, is Christ then one who encourages sin? Absolutely not!
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:20 - I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So the life I now live in the body, I live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:8 - And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the gospel to Abraham ahead of time, saying, "All the nations will be blessed in you."
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:11 - Now it is clear no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous one will live by faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:12 - But the law is not based on faith, but the one who does the works of the law will live by them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:16 - Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his descendant. Scripture does not say, "and to the descendants," referring to many, but "and to your descendant," referring to one, who is Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:17 - What I am saying is this: The law that came four hundred thirty years later does not cancel a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to invalidate the promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:18 - For if the inheritance is based on the law, it is no longer based on the promise, but God graciously gave it to Abraham through the promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:20 - Now an intermediary is not for one party alone, but God is one.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:23 - Now before faith came we were held in custody under the law, being kept as prisoners until the coming faith would be revealed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:25 - But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:29 - And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to the promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:4 - But when the appropriate time had come, God sent out his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:7 - So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if you are a son, then you are also an heir through God.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:9 - But now that you have come to know God (or rather to be known by God), how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless basic forces? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again?
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:13 - But you know it was because of a physical illness that I first proclaimed the gospel to you,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:18 - However, it is good to be sought eagerly for a good purpose at all times, and not only when I am present with you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:20 - I wish I could be with you now and change my tone of voice, because I am perplexed about you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:23 - But one, the son by the slave woman, was born by natural descent, while the other, the son by the free woman, was born through the promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:25 - Now Hagar represents Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:26 - But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:3 - And I testify again to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:10 - I am confident in the Lord that you will accept no other view. But the one who is confusing you will pay the penalty, whoever he may be.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:15 - However, if you continually bite and devour one another, beware that you are not consumed by one another.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:17 - For the flesh has desires that are opposed to the Spirit, and the Spirit has desires that are opposed to the flesh, for these are in opposition to each other, so that you cannot do what you want.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:18 - But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:22 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:24 - Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:4 - Let each one examine his own work. Then he can take pride in himself and not compare himself with someone else.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:6 - Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teaches it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:8 - because the person who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:9 - So we must not grow weary in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:10 - So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the family of faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:14 - But may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:4 - But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:13 - But now in Christ Jesus you who used to be far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:20 - Now to him who by the power that is working within us is able to do far beyond all that we ask or think,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:7 - But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:9 - Now what is the meaning of "he ascended," except that he also descended to the lower regions, namely, the earth?
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:11 - It was he who gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:15 - But practicing the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ, who is the head.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:20 - But you did not learn about Christ like this,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:23 - to be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:28 - The one who steals must steal no longer; rather he must labor, doing good with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with the one who has need.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:32 - Instead, be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:3 - But among you there must not be either sexual immorality, impurity of any kind, or greed, as these are not fitting for the saints.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:8 - for you were at one time darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light -
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:11 - Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:13 - But all things being exposed by the light are made evident.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:32 - This mystery is great - but I am actually speaking with reference to Christ and the church.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:33 - Nevertheless, each one of you must also love his own wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:21 - Tychicus, my dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make everything known to you, so that you too may know about my circumstances, how I am doing.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:12 - I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that my situation has actually turned out to advance the gospel:
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:15 - Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from goodwill.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:17 - The former proclaim Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, because they think they can cause trouble for me in my imprisonment.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:22 - Now if I am to go on living in the body, this will mean productive work for me, yet I don't know which I prefer:
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:24 - but it is more vital for your sake that I remain in the body.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:28 - and by not being intimidated in any way by your opponents. This is a sign of their destruction, but of your salvation - a sign which is from God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:8 - He humbled himself, by becoming obedient to the point of death - even death on a cross!
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:19 - Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be encouraged by hearing news about you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:22 - But you know his qualifications, that like a son working with his father, he served with me in advancing the gospel.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:24 - though I am confident in the Lord that I too will be coming to see you soon.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:25 - But for now I have considered it necessary to send Epaphroditus to you. For he is my brother, coworker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to me in my need.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:27 - In fact he became so ill that he nearly died. But God showed mercy to him - and not to him only, but also to me - so that I would not have grief on top of grief.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:1 - Finally, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! To write this again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:12 - Not that I have already attained this - that is, I have not already been perfected - but I strive to lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus also laid hold of me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:13 - Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself to have attained this. Instead I am single-minded: Forgetting the things that are behind and reaching out for the things that are ahead,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:18 - For many live, about whom I have often told you, and now, with tears, I tell you that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:10 - I have great joy in the Lord because now at last you have again expressed your concern for me. (Now I know you were concerned before but had no opportunity to do anything.)
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:12 - I have experienced times of need and times of abundance. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of contentment, whether I go satisfied or hungry, have plenty or nothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:15 - And as you Philippians know, at the beginning of my gospel ministry, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in this matter of giving and receiving except you alone.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:18 - For I have received everything, and I have plenty. I have all I need because I received from Epaphroditus what you sent - a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, very pleasing to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:19 - And my God will supply your every need according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:20 - May glory be given to God our Father forever and ever. Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:22 - All the saints greet you, especially those who belong to Caesar's household.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:26 - that is, the mystery that has been kept hidden from ages and generations, but has now been revealed to his saints.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:4 - I say this so that no one will deceive you through arguments that sound reasonable.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:17 - these are only the shadow of the things to come, but the reality is Christ!
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:8 - But now, put off all such things as anger, rage, malice, slander, abusive language from your mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:14 - And to all these virtues add love, which is the perfect bond.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:25 - For the one who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there are no exceptions.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:16 - because they hinder us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. Thus they constantly fill up their measure of sins, but wrath has come upon them completely.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:6 - But now Timothy has come to us from you and given us the good news of your faith and love and that you always think of us with affection and long to see us just as we also long to see you!
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:11 - Now may God our Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:12 - And may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we do for you,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:9 - Now on the topic of brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:10 - And indeed you are practicing it toward all the brothers and sisters in all of Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:13 - Now we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest who have no hope.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:1 - Now on the topic of times and seasons, brothers and sisters, you have no need for anything to be written to you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:8 - But since we are of the day, we must stay sober by putting on the breastplate of faith and love and as a helmet our hope for salvation.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:12 - Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who labor among you and preside over you in the Lord and admonish you,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:14 - And we urge you, brothers and sisters, admonish the undisciplined, comfort the discouraged, help the weak, be patient toward all.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:23 - Now may the God of peace himself make you completely holy and may your spirit and soul and body be kept entirely blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:1 - Now regarding the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to be with him, we ask you, brothers and sisters,
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:13 - But we ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:16 - Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope,
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:4 - And we are confident about you in the Lord that you are both doing - and will do - what we are commanding.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:5 - Now may the Lord direct your hearts toward the love of God and the endurance of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:6 - But we command you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who lives an undisciplined life and not according to the tradition they received from us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:12 - Now such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and so provide their own food to eat.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:16 - Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with you all.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:5 - But the aim of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:8 - But we know that the law is good if someone uses it legitimately,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:9 - realizing that law is not intended for a righteous person, but for lawless and rebellious people, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:14 - and our Lord's grace was abundant, bringing faith and love in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:17 - Now to the eternal king, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever! Amen.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:12 - But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man. She must remain quiet.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:14 - And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, because she was fully deceived, fell into transgression.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:15 - But she will be delivered through childbearing, if she continues in faith and love and holiness with self-control.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 3:7 - And he must be well thought of by those outside the faith, so that he may not fall into disgrace and be caught by the devil's trap.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 3:10 - And these also must be tested first and then let them serve as deacons if they are found blameless.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 3:15 - in case I am delayed, to let you know how people ought to conduct themselves in the household of God, because it is the church of the living God, the support and bulwark of the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:1 - Now the Spirit explicitly says that in the later times some will desert the faith and occupy themselves with deceiving spirits and demonic teachings,

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:23 - So it was necessary for the sketches of the things in heaven to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves required better sacrifices than these.

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:27 - And just as people are appointed to die once, and then to face judgment,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:5 - So when he came into the world, he said, "Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me.

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:10 - For they disciplined us for a little while as seemed good to them, but he does so for our benefit, that we may share his holiness.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:11 - Now all discipline seems painful at the time, not joyful. But later it produces the fruit of peace and righteousness for those trained by it.

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:22 - But be sure you live out the message and do not merely listen to it and so deceive yourselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:25 - But the one who peers into the perfect law of liberty and fixes his attention there, and does not become a forgetful listener but one who lives it out - he will be blessed in what he does.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:2 - For if someone comes into your assembly wearing a gold ring and fine clothing, and a poor person enters in filthy clothes,

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:9 - But if you show prejudice, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as violators.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:10 - For the one who obeys the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:11 - For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." Now if you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a violator of the law.

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:15 - If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacks daily food,
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:16 - and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, keep warm and eat well," but you do not give them what the body needs, what good is it?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:20 - But would you like evidence, you empty fellow, that faith without works is useless?

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:11 - Do not speak against one another, brothers and sisters. He who speaks against a fellow believer or judges a fellow believer speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but its judge.

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:25 - but the word of the Lord endures forever. And this is the word that was proclaimed to you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:4 - So as you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but chosen and priceless in God's sight,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:7 - So you who believe see his value, but for those who do not believe, the stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:9 - But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:14 - But in fact, if you happen to suffer for doing what is right, you are blessed. But do not be terrified of them or be shaken.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:15 - But set Christ apart as Lord in your hearts and always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope you possess.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:18 - Because Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring you to God, by being put to death in the flesh but by being made alive in the spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:6 - Now it was for this very purpose that the gospel was preached to those who are now dead, so that though they were judged in the flesh by human standards they may live spiritually by God's standards.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:7 - For the culmination of all things is near. So be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of prayer.

Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:13 - Indeed, as long as I am in this tabernacle, I consider it right to stir you up by way of a reminder,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:15 - Indeed, I will also make every effort that, after my departure, you have a testimony of these things.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:1 - But false prophets arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. These false teachers will infiltrate your midst with destructive heresies, even to the point of denying the Master who bought them. As a result, they will bring swift destruction on themselves.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:9 - - if so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from their trials, and to reserve the unrighteous for punishment at the day of judgment,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:10 - especially those who indulge their fleshly desires and who despise authority. Brazen and insolent, they are not afraid to insult the glorious ones,
