Unchecked Copy BoxMat 10:39 - Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 10:40 - “Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 10:41 - The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 10:42 - And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:1 - When Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:4 - And Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see:
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:5 - the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers[fn] are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:6 - And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:9 - What then did you go out to see? A prophet?[fn] Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:12 - From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence,[fn] and the violent take it by force.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:13 - For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:14 - and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:16 - “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:17 - “‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:18 - For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:19 - The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:21 - “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:22 - But I tell you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:23 - And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:25 - At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:27 - All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:28 - Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:29 - Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 11:30 - For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:1 - At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:3 - He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:4 - how he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful for him to eat nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:5 - Or have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:7 - And if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:10 - And a man was there with a withered hand. And they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:11 - He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:13 - Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And the man stretched it out, and it was restored, healthy like the other.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:15 - Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he healed them all
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:16 - and ordered them not to make him known.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:18 - “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen,
my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased.
I will put my Spirit upon him,
and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:20 - a bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not quench,
until he brings justice to victory;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:21 - and in his name the Gentiles will hope.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:22 - Then a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the man spoke and saw.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:23 - And all the people were amazed, and said, “Can this be the Son of David?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:25 - Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:26 - And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:27 - And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:29 - Or how can someone enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:30 - Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:31 - Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:32 - And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:33 - “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:35 - The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:37 - for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:38 - Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:39 - But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:40 - For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:41 - The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:42 - The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:43 - “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:44 - Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.' And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:45 - Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:46 - While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers[fn] stood outside, asking to speak to him.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:48 - But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:49 - And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 12:50 - For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:2 - And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat down. And the whole crowd stood on the beach.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:3 - And he told them many things in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:4 - And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:5 - Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:6 - but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:7 - Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:8 - Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:12 - For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:13 - This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:14 - Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:
“‘“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:15 - For this people's heart has grown dull,
and with their ears they can barely hear,
and their eyes they have closed,
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and turn, and I would heal them.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:16 - But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:17 - For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:19 - When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:20 - As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:22 - As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:23 - As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:25 - but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds[fn] among the wheat and went away.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:26 - So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:30 - Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”'”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:32 - It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:34 - All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed, he said nothing to them without a parable.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:36 - Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:40 - Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:41 - The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:42 - and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:44 - “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:46 - who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:47 - “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:48 - When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:49 - So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:50 - and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:52 - And he said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:54 - and coming to his hometown he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:55 - Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:56 - And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:57 - And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 13:58 - And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:2 - and he said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead; that is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:3 - For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:5 - And though he wanted to put him to death, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:6 - But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company and pleased Herod,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:9 - And the king was sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:10 - He sent and had John beheaded in the prison,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:11 - and his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:12 - And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and they went and told Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:13 - Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:14 - When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:15 - Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:17 - They said to him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:19 - Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:20 - And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:21 - And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:22 - Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:23 - And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:26 - But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:29 - He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:30 - But when he saw the wind,[fn] he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:31 - Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:32 - And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:35 - And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent around to all that region and brought to him all who were sick
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 14:36 - and implored him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched it were made well.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:1 - Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:3 - He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:4 - For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,' and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:6 - he need not honor his father.' So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word[fn] of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:8 - “‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:10 - And he called the people to him and said to them, “Hear and understand:
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:16 - And he said, “Are you also still without understanding?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:17 - Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:21 - And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:22 - And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:23 - But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away, for she is crying out after us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:26 - And he answered, “It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:27 - She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:28 - Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:29 - Jesus went on from there and walked beside the Sea of Galilee. And he went up on the mountain and sat down there.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:30 - And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:31 - so that the crowd wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:32 - Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:33 - And the disciples said to him, “Where are we to get enough bread in such a desolate place to feed so great a crowd?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:34 - And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:35 - And directing the crowd to sit down on the ground,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:36 - he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:37 - And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:38 - Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:39 - And after sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:1 - And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:3 - And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:4 - An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:6 - Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:9 - Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:10 - Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:11 - How is it that you fail to understand that I did not speak about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:12 - Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:17 - And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:18 - And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock[fn] I will build my church, and the gates of hell[fn] shall not prevail against it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:19 - I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed[fn] in heaven.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:21 - From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:22 - And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord![fn] This shall never happen to you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:24 - Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 16:27 - For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:1 - And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:2 - And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:3 - And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:4 - And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:5 - He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son,[fn] with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:6 - When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:7 - But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and have no fear.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:10 - And the disciples asked him, “Then why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:11 - He answered, “Elijah does come, and he will restore all things.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:12 - But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of Man will certainly suffer at their hands.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:15 - said, “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he has seizures and he suffers terribly. For often he falls into the fire, and often into the water.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:16 - And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:17 - And Jesus answered, “O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:18 - And Jesus rebuked the demon,[fn] and it[fn] came out of him, and the boy was healed instantly.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:20 - He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:23 - and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day.” And they were greatly distressed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:24 - When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax went up to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the tax?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:25 - He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tax? From their sons or from others?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 17:27 - However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel.[fn] Take that and give it to them for me and for yourself.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:2 - And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:3 - and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:5 - “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:6 - but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,[fn] it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:8 - And 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 with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:9 - And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the hell[fn] of fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:12 - What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:13 - And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:15 - “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:17 - If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:18 - Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed[fn] in heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:21 - Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:25 - And since he could not pay, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:26 - So the servant[fn] fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:27 - And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:28 - But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii,[fn] and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:29 - So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:31 - When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:33 - And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:34 - And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers,[fn] until he should pay all his debt.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 18:35 - So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:1 - Now when Jesus had finished these sayings, he went away from Galilee and entered the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:2 - And large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:3 - And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:4 - He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:5 - and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:7 - They said to him, “Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:9 - And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:12 - For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:13 - Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:14 - but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:15 - And he laid his hands on them and went away.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:19 - Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:21 - Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:27 - Then Peter said in reply, “See, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:28 - Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, in the new world,[fn] when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:29 - And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold[fn] and will inherit eternal life.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 19:30 - But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:3 - And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:4 - and to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:5 - So they went. Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:6 - And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:7 - They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:8 - And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:9 - And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:10 - Now when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a denarius.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:12 - saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:14 - Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:16 - So the last will be first, and the first last.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:17 - And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:18 - “See, we are going up to Jerusalem. And the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:19 - and deliver him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:20 - Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him for something.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:21 - And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Say that these two sons of mine are to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:22 - Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:23 - He said to them, “You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:25 - But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:27 - and whoever would be first among you must be your slave,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:28 - even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:30 - And behold, there were two blind men sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord,[fn] have mercy on us, Son of David!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:32 - And stopping, Jesus called them and said, “What do you want me to do for you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:34 - And Jesus in pity touched their eyes, and immediately they recovered their sight and followed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:1 - Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:2 - saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:3 - If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,' and he will send them at once.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:5 - “Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your king is coming to you,
humble, and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt,[fn] the foal of a beast of burden.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:6 - The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:7 - They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:8 - Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:9 - And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:10 - And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:12 - And Jesus entered the temple[fn] and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:13 - He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you make it a den of robbers.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:14 - And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:15 - But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:16 - and they said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; have you never read,
“‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies
you have prepared praise'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:17 - And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:19 - And seeing a fig tree by the wayside, he went to it and found nothing on it but only leaves. And he said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” And the fig tree withered at once.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:20 - When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither at once?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:21 - And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' it will happen.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:22 - And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:23 - And when he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:27 - So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And he said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:28 - “What do you think? A man had two sons. And he went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:30 - And he went to the other son and said the same. And he answered, ‘I go, sir,' but did not go.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:31 - Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you.
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 the prostitutes believed him. And even when you saw it, you did not afterward change your minds and believe him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:33 - “Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:35 - And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:36 - Again he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:38 - But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:39 - And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:41 - They said to him, “He will put those wretches to a miserable death and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:42 - Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
“‘The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;[fn]
this was the Lord's doing,
and it is marvelous in our eyes'?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:43 - Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:45 - When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 21:46 - And although they were seeking to arrest him, they feared the crowds, because they held him to be a prophet.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:3 - and sent his servants[fn] to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:4 - Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:6 - while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:7 - The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:9 - Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:10 - And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:12 - And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:13 - Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:16 - And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone's opinion, for you are not swayed by appearances.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:20 - And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:21 - They said, “Caesar's.” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:22 - When they heard it, they marveled. And they left him and went away.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:23 - The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:24 - saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:25 - Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:26 - So too the second and third, down to the seventh.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:27 - After them all, the woman died.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:32 - ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:33 - And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:35 - And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:37 - And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:38 - This is the great and first commandment.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:40 - On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:46 - And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:1 - Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:2 - “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:3 - so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:4 - They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear,[fn] and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:5 - They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:6 - and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:7 - and greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbi[fn] by others.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:9 - And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:12 - Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:13 - “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:15 - Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell[fn] as yourselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:17 - You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that has made the gold sacred?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:19 - You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:20 - So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:21 - And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:22 - And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits upon it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:23 - “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:25 - “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:26 - You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:27 - “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:28 - So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:29 - “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:30 - saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:32 - Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:34 - Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:35 - so that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah,[fn] whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:37 - “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:1 - Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:3 - As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:4 - And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:5 - For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:6 - And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:7 - For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:9 - “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:10 - And then many will fall away[fn] and betray one another and hate one another.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:11 - And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:12 - And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:14 - And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:18 - and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:19 - And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days!
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:22 - And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:24 - For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:27 - For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:29 - “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:30 - Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:31 - And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:32 - “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:33 - So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:35 - Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:36 - “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son,[fn] but the Father only.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:37 - For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:38 - For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:39 - and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:40 - Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:41 - Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:43 - But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:44 - Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:45 - “Who then is the faithful and wise servant,[fn] whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:49 - and begins to beat his fellow servants[fn] and eats and drinks with drunkards,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:50 - the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:51 - and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:2 - Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:5 - As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:7 - Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:9 - But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:10 - And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:11 - Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:14 - “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants[fn] and entrusted to them his property.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:15 - To one he gave five talents,[fn] to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:16 - He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:17 - So also he who had the two talents made two talents more.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:18 - But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:19 - Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:20 - And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:21 - His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.[fn] You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:22 - And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:23 - His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:24 - He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:25 - so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:26 - But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:27 - Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:28 - So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:29 - For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:30 - And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
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 25:32 - Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:33 - And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:35 - For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:36 - I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:37 - Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:38 - And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:39 - And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:40 - And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,[fn] you did it to me.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:41 - “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:42 - For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:43 - I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:44 - Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:46 - And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:2 - “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:3 - Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:4 - and plotted together in order to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:7 - a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he reclined at table.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:9 - For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:13 - Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:16 - And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:18 - He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:19 - And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:21 - And as they were eating, he said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:22 - And they were very sorrowful and began to say to him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:26 - Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:27 - And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:31 - Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:33 - Peter answered him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:35 - Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:36 - Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go over there and pray.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:37 - And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:38 - Then he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch[fn] with me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:39 - And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:40 - And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:41 - Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:43 - And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:44 - So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words again.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:45 - Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on.[fn] See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:47 - While he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:49 - And he came up to Jesus at once and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” And he kissed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:50 - Jesus said to him, “Friend, do what you came to do.”[fn] Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:51 - And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword and struck the servant[fn] of the high priest and cut off his ear.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:53 - Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:55 - At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:57 - Then those who had seized Jesus led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:58 - And Peter was following him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and going inside he sat with the guards to see the end.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:59 - Now the chief priests and the whole council[fn] were seeking false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:60 - but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:61 - and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to rebuild it in three days.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:62 - And the high priest stood up and said, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:63 - But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to him, “I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:64 - Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:67 - Then they spit in his face and struck him. And some slapped him,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:69 - Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came up to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:71 - And when he went out to the entrance, another servant girl saw him, and she said to the bystanders, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:72 - And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:73 - After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Certainly you too are one of them, for your accent betrays you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:74 - Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know the man.” And immediately the rooster crowed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:75 - And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:1 - When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:2 - And they bound him and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate the governor.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:3 - Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus[fn] was condemned, he changed his mind and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:5 - And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, he departed, and he went and hanged himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:10 - and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:11 - Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said, “You have said so.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:12 - But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he gave no answer.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:14 - But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:19 - Besides, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much because of him today in a dream.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:20 - Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:25 - And all the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:28 - And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:29 - and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:30 - And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:31 - And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him and led him away to crucify him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:34 - they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:35 - And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:36 - Then they sat down and kept watch over him there.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:37 - And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:38 - Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:40 - and saying, “You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:41 - So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:42 - “He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:44 - And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:48 - And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:51 - And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:52 - The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:53 - and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:54 - When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this was the Son[fn] of God!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:56 - among whom were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:57 - When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:59 - And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:60 - and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:61 - Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:62 - The next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:64 - Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,' and the last fraud will be worse than the first.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:1 - Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:2 - And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:3 - His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:4 - And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:7 - Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:8 - So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:9 - And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:12 - And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:14 - And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:17 - And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:18 - And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:19 - Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[fn] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:20 - teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:4 - John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:5 - And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:6 - Now John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:7 - And he preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:9 - In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:10 - And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:11 - And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son;[fn] with you I am well pleased.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:13 - And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:15 - and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand;[fn] repent and believe in the gospel.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:17 - And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:18 - And immediately they left their nets and followed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:19 - And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:20 - And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:21 - And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:22 - And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:23 - And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:24 - “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:25 - But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:26 - And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:27 - And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:29 - And immediately he[fn] left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:30 - Now Simon's mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:31 - And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:32 - That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:33 - And the whole city was gathered together at the door.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:34 - And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:35 - And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:36 - And Simon and those who were with him searched for him,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:37 - and they found him and said to him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:38 - And he said to them, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:39 - And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:40 - And a leper[fn] came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:41 - Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:42 - And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:43 - And Jesus[fn] sternly charged him and sent him away at once,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:44 - and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:45 - But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places, and people were coming to him from every quarter.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:2 - And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. And he was preaching the word to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:3 - And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:4 - And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:6 - Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:8 - And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question these things in your hearts?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:9 - Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk'?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:11 - “I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:12 - And he rose and immediately picked up his bed and went out before them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:13 - He went out again beside the sea, and all the crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:14 - And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:15 - And as he reclined at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:16 - And the scribes of[fn] the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why does he eat[fn] with tax collectors and sinners?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:17 - And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:18 - Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, “Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:19 - And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:20 - The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:21 - No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:22 - And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins—and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:23 - One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:24 - And the Pharisees were saying to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:25 - And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him:
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:26 - how he entered the house of God, in the time of[fn] Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:27 - And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:28 - So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:1 - Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there with a withered hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:2 - And they watched Jesus,[fn] to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:3 - And he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come here.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:4 - And he said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:5 - And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:6 - The Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:7 - Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great crowd followed, from Galilee and Judea
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:8 - and Jerusalem and Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from around Tyre and Sidon. When the great crowd heard all that he was doing, they came to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:9 - And he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they crush him,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:11 - And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:12 - And he strictly ordered them not to make him known.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:13 - And he went up on the mountain and called to him those whom he desired, and they came to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:14 - And he appointed twelve (whom he also named apostles) so that they might be with him and he might send them out to preach
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:15 - and have authority to cast out demons.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:16 - He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter);
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:17 - James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (to whom he gave the name Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder);
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:18 - Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:19 - and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:21 - And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, “He is out of his mind.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:22 - And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:23 - And he called them to him and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:24 - If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:25 - And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:26 - And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:27 - But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then indeed he may plunder his house.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:28 - “Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:31 - And his mother and his brothers came, and standing outside they sent to him and called him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:32 - And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers[fn] are outside, seeking you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:33 - And he answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:34 - And looking about at those who sat around him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:35 - For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:1 - Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea, and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:2 - And he was teaching them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them:
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:4 - And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:5 - Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:6 - And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:7 - Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:8 - And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:9 - And he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:11 - And he said to them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:12 - so that
“‘they may indeed see but not perceive,
and may indeed hear but not understand,
lest they should turn and be forgiven.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:13 - And he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:15 - And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown: when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:16 - And these are the ones sown on rocky ground: the ones who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:17 - And they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:18 - And others are the ones sown among thorns. They are those who hear the word,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:19 - but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:20 - But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:24 - And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:25 - For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:27 - He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he knows not how.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:32 - yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:36 - And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:37 - And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:38 - But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:39 - And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:40 - He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:41 - And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:2 - And when Jesus[fn] had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:3 - He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:4 - for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:5 - Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:6 - And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:7 - And crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:9 - And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:10 - And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:12 - and they begged him, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:13 - So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:14 - The herdsmen fled and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:15 - And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed[fn] man, the one who had had the legion, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:16 - And those who had seen it described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and to the pigs.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:17 - And they began to beg Jesus[fn] to depart from their region.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:18 - As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:19 - And he did not permit him but said to him, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:20 - And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and everyone marveled.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:21 - And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him, and he was beside the sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:22 - Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:23 - and implored him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:24 - And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:25 - And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:26 - and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:29 - And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:30 - And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:31 - And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?'
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:32 - And he looked around to see who had done it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:33 - But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:34 - And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:37 - And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:38 - They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus[fn] saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:39 - And when he had entered, he said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:40 - And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:41 - Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:42 - And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:43 - And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:1 - He went away from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:2 - And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:3 - Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:4 - And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:5 - And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:6 - And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:7 - And he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:8 - He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:9 - but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:10 - And he said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:11 - And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:13 - And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:14 - King Herod heard of it, for Jesus'[fn] name had become known. Some[fn] said, “John the Baptist[fn] has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:17 - For it was Herod who had sent and seized John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he had married her.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:19 - And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death. But she could not,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:20 - for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed, and yet he heard him gladly.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:21 - But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:22 - For when Herodias's daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. And the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:23 - And he vowed to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:25 - And she came in immediately with haste to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:26 - And the king was exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:27 - And immediately the king sent an executioner with orders to bring John's[fn] head. He went and beheaded him in the prison
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:28 - and brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:29 - When his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:30 - The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:31 - And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:32 - And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:33 - Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:34 - When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:35 - And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is now late.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:36 - Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:37 - But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii[fn] worth of bread and give it to them to eat?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:38 - And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:39 - Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:40 - So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:41 - And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. And he divided the two fish among them all.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:42 - And they all ate and were satisfied.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:43 - And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:44 - And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:45 - Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:46 - And after he had taken leave of them, he went up on the mountain to pray.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:47 - And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:48 - And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night[fn] he came to them, walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:49 - but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:50 - for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:51 - And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:53 - When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:54 - And when they got out of the boat, the people immediately recognized him
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:56 - And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or countryside, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and implored him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched it were made well.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:2 - they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:3 - (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly,[fn] holding to the tradition of the elders,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:4 - and when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash.[fn] And there are many other traditions that they observe, such as the washing of cups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches.[fn])
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:5 - And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:8 - You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:10 - For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother'; and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:12 - then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:13 - thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:14 - And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand:
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:18 - And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:19 - since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?”[fn] (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:23 - All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:24 - And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon.[fn] And he entered a house and did not want anyone to know, yet he could not be hidden.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:26 - Now the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:27 - And he said to her, “Let the children be fed first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:28 - But she answered him, “Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:29 - And he said to her, “For this statement you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:30 - And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:32 - And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:33 - And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:34 - And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:35 - And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:36 - And Jesus[fn] charged them to tell no one. But the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:37 - And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:1 - In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him and said to them,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:2 - “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:3 - And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way. And some of them have come from far away.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:4 - And his disciples answered him, “How can one feed these people with bread here in this desolate place?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:5 - And he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:6 - And he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:7 - And they had a few small fish. And having blessed them, he said that these also should be set before them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:8 - And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:9 - And there were about four thousand people. And he sent them away.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:11 - The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:12 - And he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:13 - And he left them, got into the boat again, and went to the other side.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:14 - Now they had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:15 - And he cautioned them, saying, “Watch out; beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:16 - And they began discussing with one another the fact that they had no bread.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:17 - And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:18 - Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:21 - And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:22 - And they came to Bethsaida. And some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:23 - And he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:24 - And he looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees, walking.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:25 - Then Jesus[fn] laid his hands on his eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:26 - And he sent him to his home, saying, “Do not even enter the village.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:27 - And Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:28 - And they told him, “John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:29 - And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:30 - And he strictly charged them to tell no one about him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:31 - And he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and after three days rise again.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:32 - And he said this plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:33 - But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:34 - And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:35 - For whoever would save his life[fn] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:36 - For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:38 - For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:2 - And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:3 - and his clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one[fn] on earth could bleach them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:4 - And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:5 - And Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi,[fn] it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:7 - And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son;[fn] listen to him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:8 - And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:10 - So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead might mean.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:11 - And they asked him, “Why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:12 - And he said to them, “Elijah does come first to restore all things. And how is it written of the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:13 - But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:14 - And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:15 - And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed and ran up to him and greeted him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:16 - And he asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:17 - And someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a spirit that makes him mute.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:18 - And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:20 - And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:21 - And Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:22 - And it has often cast him into fire and into water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:24 - Immediately the father of the child cried out[fn] and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:25 - And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:26 - And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, “He is dead.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:27 - But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:28 - And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:29 - And he said to them, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:30 - They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he did not want anyone to know,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:31 - for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three days he will rise.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:32 - But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:33 - And they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:35 - And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:36 - And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:37 - “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:38 - John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name,[fn] and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:39 - But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:42 - “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,[fn] it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:45 - And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:47 - And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:48 - ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:49 - For everyone will be salted with fire.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:50 - Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:1 - And he left there and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered to him again. And again, as was his custom, he taught them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:2 - And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:4 - They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to send her away.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:6 - But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:7 - ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:8 - and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:11 - And he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:12 - and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:14 - But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:16 - And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:17 - And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:19 - You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:21 - And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:28 - Peter began to say to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:29 - Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:30 - who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:31 - But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:32 - And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. And they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:33 - saying, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and deliver him over to the Gentiles.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:34 - And they will mock him and spit on him, and flog him and kill him. And after three days he will rise.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:35 - And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:37 - And they said to him, “Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:39 - And they said to him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:40 - but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:41 - And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:42 - And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:44 - and whoever would be first among you must be slave[fn] of all.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:45 - For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:46 - And they came to Jericho. And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:47 - And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:48 - And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:49 - And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart. Get up; he is calling you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:51 - And Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabbi, let me recover my sight.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:52 - And Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him on the way.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:1 - Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus[fn] sent two of his disciples
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:2 - and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:3 - If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?' say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:4 - And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:6 - And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:7 - And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:8 - And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:9 - And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:11 - And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:13 - And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:14 - And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:15 - And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:16 - And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:17 - And he was teaching them and saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:18 - And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:21 - And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:22 - And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:23 - Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:24 - Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received[fn] it, and it will be yours.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:25 - And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:27 - And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:28 - and they said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?”
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 11:31 - And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,' he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?'
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:33 - So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:1 - And he began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a pit for the winepress and built a tower, and leased it to tenants and went into another country.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:2 - When the season came, he sent a servant[fn] to the tenants to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:3 - And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:4 - Again he sent to them another servant, and they struck him on the head and treated him shamefully.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:5 - And he sent another, and him they killed. And so with many others: some they beat, and some they killed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:6 - He had still one other, a beloved son. Finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:7 - But those tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:8 - And they took him and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:9 - What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants and give the vineyard to others.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:11 - this was the Lord's doing,
and it is marvelous in our eyes'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:12 - And they were seeking to arrest him but feared the people, for they perceived that he had told the parable against them. So they left him and went away.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:13 - And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to trap him in his talk.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:14 - And they came and said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are true and do not care about anyone's opinion. For you are not swayed by appearances,[fn] but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:16 - And they brought one. And he said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said to him, “Caesar's.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:17 - Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” And they marveled at him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:18 - And Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection. And they asked him a question, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:19 - “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man[fn] must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:20 - There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no offspring.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:21 - And the second took her, and died, leaving no offspring. And the third likewise.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:22 - And the seven left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:24 - Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:26 - And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:30 - And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:31 - The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:32 - And the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher. You have truly said that he is one, and there is no other besides him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:33 - And to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:34 - And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And after that no one dared to ask him any more questions.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:37 - David himself calls him Lord. So how is he his son?” And the great throng heard him gladly.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:38 - And in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:39 - and have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:40 - who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:41 - And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:42 - And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:43 - And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:1 - And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:2 - And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:3 - And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:4 - “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:6 - Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!' and they will lead many astray.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:7 - And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:8 - For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:9 - “But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:10 - And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:12 - And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:13 - And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:16 - and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:17 - And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days!
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:19 - For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will be.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:20 - And if the Lord had not cut short the days, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:21 - And then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!' or ‘Look, there he is!' do not believe it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:22 - For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:24 - “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:25 - and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:26 - And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:27 - And then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:28 - “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:29 - So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:31 - Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:32 - “But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:33 - Be on guard, keep awake.[fn] For you do not know when the time will come.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:34 - It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants[fn] in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:1 - It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest him by stealth and kill him,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:4 - There were some who said to themselves indignantly, “Why was the ointment wasted like that?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:5 - For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii[fn] and given to the poor.” And they scolded her.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:7 - For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good for them. But you will not always have me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:9 - And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:11 - And when they heard it, they were glad and promised to give him money. And he sought an opportunity to betray him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:13 - And he sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:14 - and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:15 - And he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:16 - And the disciples set out and went to the city and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:18 - And as they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:19 - They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one after another, “Is it I?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:22 - And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:23 - And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:24 - And he said to them, “This is my blood of the[fn] covenant, which is poured out for many.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:27 - And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:29 - Peter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:30 - And Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:31 - But he said emphatically, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And they all said the same.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:32 - And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:33 - And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:34 - And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:35 - And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:36 - And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:37 - And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:38 - Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:39 - And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:40 - And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they did not know what to answer him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:41 - And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:43 - And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:44 - Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man. Seize him and lead him away under guard.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:45 - And when he came, he went up to him at once and said, “Rabbi!” And he kissed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:46 - And they laid hands on him and seized him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:47 - But one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant[fn] of the high priest and cut off his ear.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:48 - And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:49 - Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the Scriptures be fulfilled.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:50 - And they all left him and fled.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:51 - And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body. And they seized him,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:53 - And they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:54 - And Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting with the guards and warming himself at the fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:55 - Now the chief priests and the whole council[fn] were seeking testimony against Jesus to put him to death, but they found none.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:56 - For many bore false witness against him, but their testimony did not agree.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:58 - “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:59 - Yet even about this their testimony did not agree.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:60 - And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:61 - But he remained silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:62 - And Jesus said, “I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:65 - And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to strike him, saying to him, “Prophesy!” And the guards received him with blows.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:67 - and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:68 - But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you mean.” And he went out into the gateway[fn] and the rooster crowed.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:69 - And the servant girl saw him and began again to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:70 - But again he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders again said to Peter, “Certainly you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:71 - But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:72 - And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And he broke down and wept.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:1 - And as soon as it was morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council. And they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:2 - And Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him, “You have said so.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:3 - And the chief priests accused him of many things.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:8 - And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he usually did for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:15 - So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas, and having scourged[fn] Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:16 - And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the governor's headquarters),[fn] and they called together the whole battalion.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:17 - And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:18 - And they began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:19 - And they were striking his head with a reed and spitting on him and kneeling down in homage to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:20 - And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:21 - And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:22 - And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull).
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:23 - And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:24 - And they crucified him and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:25 - And it was the third hour[fn] when they crucified him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:26 - And the inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:27 - And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:29 - And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:30 - save yourself, and come down from the cross!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:31 - So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:32 - Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may see and believe.” Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:34 - And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:36 - And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:40 - There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:41 - When he was in Galilee, they followed him and ministered to him, and there were also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:43 - Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:44 - Pilate was surprised to hear that he should have already died.[fn] And summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:45 - And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:46 - And Joseph[fn] bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:47 - Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:1 - When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:2 - And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:3 - And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:4 - And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:5 - And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:7 - But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:8 - And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:10 - She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:11 - But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:14 - Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:15 - And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:16 - Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:18 - they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:19 - So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:20 - And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs.]]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:2 - just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:5 - In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah,[fn] of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:6 - And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:7 - But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:10 - And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:12 - And Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon 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, and you shall call his name John.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:14 - And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:15 - for he will be great before the Lord. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:16 - And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:17 - and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:18 - And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:19 - And the angel answered him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:20 - And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:21 - And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering at his delay in the temple.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:22 - And when he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he kept making signs to them and remained mute.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:23 - And when his time of service was ended, he went to his home.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:24 - After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she kept herself hidden, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:27 - to a virgin betrothed[fn] to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:28 - And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:29 - But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:30 - And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:31 - And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:32 - He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:33 - and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:35 - And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born[fn] will be called holy—the Son of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:36 - And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:38 - And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant[fn] of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:40 - and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:41 - And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:42 - and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:43 - And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:45 - And blessed is she who believed that there would be[fn] a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:47 - and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:49 - for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:50 - And his mercy is for those who fear him
from generation to generation.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:52 - he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
and exalted those of humble estate;
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:53 - he has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:55 - as he spoke to our fathers,
to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:56 - And Mary remained with her about three months and returned to her home.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:57 - Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:58 - And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:59 - And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child. And they would have called him Zechariah after his father,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:60 - but his mother answered, “No; he shall be called John.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:61 - And they said to her, “None of your relatives is called by this name.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:63 - And he asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they all wondered.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:64 - And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:65 - And fear came on all their neighbors. And all these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:66 - and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child be?” For the hand of the Lord was with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:67 - And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:68 - “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,
for he has visited and redeemed his people
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:69 - and has raised up a horn of salvation for us
in the house of his servant David,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:71 - that we should be saved from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us;
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:72 - to show the mercy promised to our fathers
and to remember his holy covenant,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:75 - in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:79 - to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:80 - And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:3 - And all went to be registered, each to his own town.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:4 - And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:7 - And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:8 - And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:9 - And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:10 - And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:12 - And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:13 - And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:14 - “Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:15 - When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:16 - And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:18 - And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:20 - And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:21 - And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:24 - and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the Law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:25 - Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:26 - And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:27 - And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the Law,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:28 - he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:32 - a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and for glory to your people Israel.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:33 - And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:34 - And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:35 - (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:37 - and then as a widow until she was eighty-four.[fn] She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:38 - And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
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 2:42 - And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:43 - And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:44 - but supposing him to be in the group they went a day's journey, but then they began to search for him among their relatives and acquaintances,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:45 - and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:46 - After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:47 - And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:48 - And when his parents[fn] saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:49 - And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:50 - And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:51 - And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:52 - And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature[fn] and in favor with God and man.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:1 - In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:2 - during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:3 - And he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:5 - Every valley shall be filled,
and every mountain and hill shall be made low,
and the crooked shall become straight,
and the rough places shall become level ways,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:6 - and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:8 - Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:9 - Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:11 - And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics[fn] is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:12 - Tax collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, “Teacher, what shall we do?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:14 - Soldiers also asked him, “And we, what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or by false accusation, and be content with your wages.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:15 - As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:16 - John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:17 - His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:18 - So with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:19 - But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things that Herod had done,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:20 - added this to them all, that he locked up John in prison.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:21 - Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 3:22 - and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son;[fn] with you I am well pleased.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:1 - And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:2 - for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:3 - The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:4 - And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:6 - and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:8 - And Jesus answered him, “It is written,
“‘You shall worship the Lord your God,
and him only shall you serve.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:9 - And he took him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:11 - and
“‘On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:12 - And Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:14 - And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report about him went out through all the surrounding country.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:15 - And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:16 - And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:17 - And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:18 - “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives
and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:20 - And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:22 - And all spoke well of him and marveled at the gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said, “Is not this Joseph's son?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:23 - And he said to them, “Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, ‘“Physician, heal yourself.” What we have heard you did at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:25 - But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were shut up three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:26 - and Elijah was sent to none of them but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:27 - And there were many lepers[fn] in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:28 - When they heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:29 - And they rose up and drove him out of the town and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:31 - And he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:32 - and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word possessed authority.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:33 - And in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:34 - “Ha![fn] What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:35 - But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:36 - And they were all amazed and said to one another, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:37 - And reports about him went out into every place in the surrounding region.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:38 - And he arose and left the synagogue and entered Simon's house. Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they appealed to him on her behalf.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:39 - And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose and began to serve them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:41 - And demons also came out of many, crying, “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 - And when it was day, he departed and went into a desolate place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 4:44 - And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:1 - On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:2 - and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:3 - Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:4 - And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:5 - And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:6 - And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:7 - They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:9 - For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:10 - and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:11 - And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:12 - While he was in one of the cities, there came a man full of leprosy.[fn] And when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:13 - And Jesus[fn] stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:14 - And he charged him to tell no one, but “go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a proof to them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:15 - But now even more the report about him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their infirmities.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:16 - But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:17 - On one of those days, as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with him to heal.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:18 - And behold, some men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and lay him before Jesus,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:19 - but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:20 - And when he saw their faith, he said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:21 - And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:23 - Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, ‘Rise and walk'?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:24 - But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the man who was paralyzed—“I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:25 - And immediately he rose up before them and picked up what he had been lying on and went home, glorifying God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:26 - And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, “We have seen extraordinary things today.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:27 - After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, “Follow me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:28 - And leaving everything, he rose and followed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:29 - And Levi made him a great feast in his house, and there was a large company of tax collectors and others reclining at table with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:30 - And the Pharisees and their scribes grumbled at his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:31 - And Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:33 - And they said to him, “The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:35 - The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:36 - He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it on an old garment. If he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:37 - And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:38 - But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 5:39 - And no one after drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.'”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:1 - On a Sabbath,[fn] while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:3 - And Jesus answered them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:4 - how he entered the house of God and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:5 - And he said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:6 - On another Sabbath, he entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:7 - And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:8 - But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come and stand here.” And he rose and stood there.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:10 - And after looking around at them all he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:11 - But they were filled with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:12 - In these days he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:13 - And when day came, he called his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles:
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:14 - Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:15 - and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:16 - and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:17 - And he came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:18 - who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:19 - And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:22 - “Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:23 - Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:25 - “Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. “Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:28 - bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:29 - To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic[fn] either.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:30 - Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:31 - And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:32 - “If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:33 - And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:34 - And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:35 - But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:36 - Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:37 - “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:38 - give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:42 - How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:45 - The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:46 - “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:47 - Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like:
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:48 - he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 6:49 - But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:5 - for he loves our nation, and he is the one who built us our synagogue.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:7 - Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:8 - For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me: and I say to one, ‘Go,' and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,' and he does it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:9 - When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:10 - And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:11 - Soon afterward[fn] he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:12 - As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:13 - And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:14 - Then he came up and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:15 - And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus[fn] gave him to his mother.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:16 - Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and “God has visited his people!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:17 - And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:21 - In that hour he healed many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and on many who were blind he bestowed sight.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:22 - And he answered them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers[fn] are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:23 - And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:25 - What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are dressed in splendid clothing and live in luxury are in kings' courts.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:26 - What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:29 - (When all the people heard this, and the tax collectors too, they declared God just,[fn] having been baptized with the baptism of John,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:30 - but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.)
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:31 - “To what then shall I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:32 - They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another,
“‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:33 - For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:34 - The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:35 - Yet wisdom is justified by all her children.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:36 - One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house and reclined at table.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:37 - And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:38 - and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.
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 have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 7:40 - And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he answered, “Say it, Teacher.”
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 7:49 - Then those who were at table with him began to say among[fn] themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:1 - Soon afterward he went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:2 - and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:3 - and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them[fn] out of their means.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:4 - And when a great crowd was gathering and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:5 - “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the air devoured it.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:6 - And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:7 - And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:8 - And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded a hundredfold.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:10 - he said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:12 - The ones along the path are those 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 - And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe for a while, and in time of testing fall away.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:14 - And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:15 - As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:17 - For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:18 - Take care then how you hear, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:19 - Then his mother and his brothers[fn] came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:20 - And he was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:21 - But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:22 - One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side of the lake.” So they set out,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:23 - and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water and were in danger.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:24 - And they went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased, and there was a calm.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:25 - He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even winds and water, and they obey him?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:27 - When Jesus[fn] had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:28 - When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:29 - For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.)
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:31 - And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:32 - Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them permission.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:33 - Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:34 - When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:35 - Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:36 - And those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed[fn] man had been healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:37 - Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:39 - “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:41 - And there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus' feet, he implored him to come to his house,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:42 - for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. As Jesus went, the people pressed around him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:43 - And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her living on physicians,[fn] she could not be healed by anyone.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:44 - She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately her discharge of blood ceased.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:45 - And Jesus said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter[fn] said, “Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:47 - And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:50 - But Jesus on hearing this answered him, “Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:51 - And when he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father and mother of the child.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:52 - And all were weeping and mourning for her, but he said, “Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:53 - And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:54 - But taking her by the hand he called, saying, “Child, arise.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:55 - And her spirit returned, and she got up at once. And he directed that something should be given her to eat.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 8:56 - And her parents were amazed, but he charged them to tell no one what had happened.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:1 - And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:2 - and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:3 - And he said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:4 - And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:5 - And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:6 - And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:7 - Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:9 - Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:10 - On their return the apostles told him all that they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart to a town called Bethsaida.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:11 - When the crowds learned it, they followed him, and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and cured those who had need of healing.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:12 - Now the day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the crowd away to go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and get provisions, for we are here in a desolate place.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:13 - But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:15 - And they did so, and had them all sit down.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:16 - And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:17 - And they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:18 - Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:22 - saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:23 - And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:26 - For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:28 - Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:29 - And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:30 - And behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:32 - Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:33 - And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:34 - As he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:35 - And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen One;[fn] listen to him!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:36 - And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:38 - And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:39 - And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:40 - And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:41 - Jesus answered, “O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:42 - While he was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:45 - But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, so that they might not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:48 - and said to them, “Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.”
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 does not follow with us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:50 - But Jesus said to him, “Do not stop him, for the one who is not against you is for you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:51 - When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:52 - And he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make preparations for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:53 - But the people did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:54 - And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell fire to come down from heaven and consume them?”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:55 - But he turned and rebuked them.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:56 - And they went on to another village.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:58 - And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 9:61 - Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.”
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[fn] 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 10:4 - Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and greet no one on the road.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:6 - And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:7 - And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:8 - Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:9 - Heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:10 - But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:13 - “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:14 - But it will be more bearable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:15 - And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:16 - “The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:17 - The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:19 - Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:21 - In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:22 - All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:24 - For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:27 - And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:28 - And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:30 - Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:31 - Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:32 - So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:33 - But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:34 - He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:35 - And the next day he took out two denarii[fn] and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:37 - He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:38 - Now as they went on their way, Jesus[fn] entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:39 - And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 10:41 - But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:1 - Now Jesus[fn] was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:2 - And he said to them, “When you pray, say:
“Father, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:4 - and forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:5 - And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:6 - for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him';
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:7 - and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything'?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:8 - I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence[fn] he will rise and give him whatever he needs.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:9 - And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:10 - For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:11 - What father among you, if his son asks for[fn] a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent;
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:12 - or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:14 - Now he was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:17 - But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:18 - And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:22 - but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:23 - Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:24 - “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:25 - And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:26 - Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that person is worse than the first.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:27 - As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:28 - But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:29 - When the crowds were increasing, he began to say, “This generation is an evil generation. It seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:30 - For as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:31 - The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:32 - The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.
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 bad, your body is full of darkness.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:39 - And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:40 - You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:41 - But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:42 - “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:43 - Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:44 - Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:45 - One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying these things you insult us also.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:46 - And he said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:48 - So you are witnesses and you consent to the deeds of your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:49 - Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:51 - from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:52 - Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:53 - As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard and to provoke him to speak about many things,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 11:54 - lying in wait for him, to catch him in something he might say.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:2 - Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:3 - Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:4 - “I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:6 - Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies?[fn] And not one of them is forgotten before God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:7 - Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:8 - “And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:10 - And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:11 - And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:15 - And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:17 - and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:18 - And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:19 - And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.”'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:21 - So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:23 - For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:24 - Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:28 - But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:29 - And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:31 - Instead, seek his[fn] kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:33 - Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:34 - For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:35 - “Stay dressed for action[fn] and keep your lamps burning,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:36 - and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:37 - Blessed are those servants[fn] whom the master finds awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:38 - If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:39 - But know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he[fn] would not have left his house to be broken into.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:40 - You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:41 - Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for all?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:42 - And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:45 - But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming,' and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:46 - the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:47 - And that servant who knew his master's will but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:48 - But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:49 - “I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:50 - I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:52 - For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:53 - They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:54 - He also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, ‘A shower is coming.' And so it happens.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:55 - And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat,' and it happens.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:56 - You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:57 - “And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:58 - As you go with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:59 - I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last penny.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:2 - And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:4 - Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:6 - And he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:7 - And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:8 - And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:11 - And behold, there was a woman who had had a disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not fully straighten herself.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:12 - When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your disability.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:13 - And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she glorified God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:14 - But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, “There are six days in which work ought to be done. Come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:15 - Then the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger and lead it away to water it?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:16 - And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:17 - As he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame, and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:18 - He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:19 - It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:22 - He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:24 - “Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:25 - When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us,' then he will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:26 - Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:27 - But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:28 - In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves cast out.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:29 - And people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:30 - And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:31 - At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:32 - And he said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:33 - Nevertheless, I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:34 - O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:1 - One Sabbath, when he went to dine at the house of a ruler of the Pharisees, they were watching him carefully.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:2 - And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:3 - And Jesus responded to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:4 - But they remained silent. Then he took him and healed him and sent him away.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:5 - And he said to them, “Which of you, having a son[fn] or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:6 - And they could not reply to these things.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:9 - and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give your place to this person,' and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:11 - For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:12 - He said also to the man who had invited him, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers[fn] or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:14 - and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:16 - But he said to him, “A man once gave a great banquet and invited many.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:17 - And at the time for the banquet he sent his servant[fn] to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:18 - But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. Please have me excused.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:19 - And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to examine them. Please have me excused.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:20 - And another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:21 - So the servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:22 - And the servant said, ‘Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:23 - And the master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:25 - Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:26 - “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:27 - Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:29 - Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:30 - saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:1 - Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:2 - And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:4 - “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:5 - And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:6 - And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:8 - “Or what woman, having ten silver coins,[fn] if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:9 - And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:12 - And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.' And he divided his property between them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:13 - Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:14 - And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:15 - So he went and hired himself out to[fn] one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:16 - And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:18 - I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:19 - I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:20 - And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:21 - And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:22 - But the father said to his servants,[fn] ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:23 - And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:24 - For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.' And they began to celebrate.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:25 - “Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:26 - And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:27 - And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:28 - But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:29 - but he answered his father, ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:31 - And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:32 - It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:1 - He also said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:2 - And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:5 - So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:6 - He said, ‘A hundred measures[fn] of oil.' He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:7 - Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?' He said, ‘A hundred measures[fn] of wheat.' He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:8 - The master commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness. For the sons of this world[fn] are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:10 - “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:12 - And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:13 - No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:14 - The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:15 - And he said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:16 - “The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone forces his way into it.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:17 - But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:18 - “Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:19 - “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:21 - who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:22 - The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side.[fn] The rich man also died and was buried,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:23 - and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:24 - And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:25 - But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:26 - And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:28 - for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:29 - But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:31 - He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:2 - It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:3 - Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:4 - and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,' you must forgive him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:6 - And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:8 - Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and dress properly,[fn] and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink'?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:10 - So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants;[fn] we have only done what was our duty.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:11 - On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:12 - And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers,[fn] who stood at a distance
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:13 - and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:14 - When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:16 - and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:19 - And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:20 - Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:22 - And 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 17:23 - And they will say to you, ‘Look, there!' or ‘Look, here!' Do not go out or follow them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:24 - For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:25 - But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:26 - Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:27 - They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:28 - Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:29 - but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all—
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:31 - On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:33 - Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:34 - I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:35 - There will be two women grinding together. One will be taken and the other left.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:37 - And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the corpse[fn] is, there the vultures[fn] will gather.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:1 - And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:2 - He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:3 - And there was 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 afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:7 - And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:9 - He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt:
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:10 - “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:11 - The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed[fn] thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:13 - But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:15 - Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:16 - But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:20 - You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:22 - When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:28 - And Peter said, “See, we have left our homes and followed you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:30 - who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:31 - And taking the twelve, he said to them, “See, 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 18:32 - For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:33 - And after flogging him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:34 - But they understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not grasp what was said.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:38 - And he cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:39 - And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:42 - And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; your faith has made you well.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:43 - And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:2 - And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:3 - And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:4 - So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:5 - And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:6 - So he hurried and came down and received him joyfully.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:7 - And when they saw it, they all grumbled, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:8 - And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:9 - And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:10 - For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:11 - As they heard these things, he proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:12 - He said therefore, “A nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:13 - Calling ten of his servants,[fn] he gave them ten minas,[fn] and said to them, ‘Engage in business until I come.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:14 - But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:15 - When he returned, having received the kingdom, he ordered these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by doing business.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:17 - And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant![fn] Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:18 - And the second came, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made five minas.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:19 - And he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:20 - Then another came, saying, ‘Lord, here is your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief;
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:21 - for I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man. You take what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:22 - He said to him, ‘I will condemn you with your own words, you wicked servant! You knew that I was a severe man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:23 - Why then did you not put my money in the bank, and at my coming I might have collected it with interest?'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:24 - And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to the one who has the ten minas.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:25 - And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:26 - ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:27 - But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:29 - When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:31 - If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?' you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:35 - And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:38 - saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:40 - He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:42 - saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:43 - For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:44 - and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:47 - And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people were seeking to destroy him,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:48 - but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:1 - One day, as Jesus[fn] was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:2 - and said to him, “Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:3 - He answered them, “I also will ask you a question. Now tell me,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:7 - So they answered that they did not know where it came from.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:8 - And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:9 - And he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and let it out to tenants and went into another country for a long while.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:10 - When the time came, he sent a servant[fn] to the tenants, so that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:11 - And he sent another servant. But they also beat and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:12 - And he sent yet a third. This one also they wounded and cast out.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:15 - And they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:16 - He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:19 - The scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that very hour, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:20 - So they watched him and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:21 - So they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and show no partiality,[fn] but truly teach the way of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:24 - “Show me a denarius.[fn] Whose likeness and inscription does it have?” They said, “Caesar's.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:25 - He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:26 - And they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him in what he said, but marveling at his answer they became silent.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:28 - and they asked him a question, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man[fn] must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:29 - Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:30 - And the second
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:31 - and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:32 - Afterward the woman also died.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:34 - And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:35 - but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:36 - for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons[fn] of the resurrection.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:37 - But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, 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 20:42 - For David himself says in the Book of Psalms,
“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:44 - David thus calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:46 - “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:47 - who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:2 - and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:3 - And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:5 - And while some were speaking of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:7 - And they asked him, “Teacher, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:9 - And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end will not be at once.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:10 - Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:11 - There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:12 - But before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:15 - for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:16 - You will be delivered up even by parents and brothers[fn] and relatives and friends, and some of you they will put to death.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:17 - You will be hated by all for my name's sake.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:18 - But not a hair of your head will perish.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:21 - Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:23 - Alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the earth and wrath against this people.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:24 - They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive among all nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:25 - “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:26 - people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:27 - And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:28 - Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:29 - And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:31 - So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:33 - Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:34 - “But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:36 - But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:38 - And early in the morning all the people came to him in the temple to hear him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:2 - And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to put him to death, for they feared the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:4 - He went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers how he might betray him to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:5 - And they were glad, and agreed to give him money.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:6 - So he consented and sought an opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of a crowd.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:8 - So Jesus[fn] sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:11 - and tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:13 - And they went and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:14 - And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:15 - And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:17 - And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:19 - And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:20 - And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:22 - For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:23 - And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:24 - A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:25 - And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:26 - But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:30 - that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:32 - but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:33 - Peter[fn] said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:35 - And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:36 - He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:37 - For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.' For what is written about me has its fulfillment.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:39 - And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:41 - And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:44 - And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:45 - And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:46 - and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:47 - While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:50 - And one of them struck the servant[fn] of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:51 - But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:52 - Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:53 - When I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:54 - Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest's house, and Peter was following at a distance.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:55 - And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:56 - Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, “This man also was with him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:58 - And a little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:59 - And after an interval of about an hour still another insisted, saying, “Certainly this man also was with him, for he too is a Galilean.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:60 - But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:61 - And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:62 - And he went out and wept bitterly.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:64 - They also blindfolded him and kept asking him, “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:65 - And they said many other things against him, blaspheming him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:66 - When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. And they led him away to their council, and they said,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:68 - and if I ask you, you will not answer.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:2 - And they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:4 - Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no guilt in this man.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:7 - And when he learned that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time.
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 he was hoping to see some sign done by him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:10 - The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:11 - And Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him. Then, arraying him in splendid clothing, he sent him back to Pilate.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:12 - And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been at enmity with each other.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:13 - Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:14 - and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people. And after examining him before you, behold, I did not find this man guilty of any of your charges against him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:15 - Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, nothing deserving death has been done by him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:19 - a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection started in the city and for murder.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:23 - But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified. And their voices prevailed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:25 - He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus over to their will.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:27 - And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:28 - But turning to them Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:29 - For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:30 - Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,' and to the hills, ‘Cover us.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:32 - Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:33 - And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:35 - And the people stood by, watching, but the rulers scoffed at 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 23:37 - and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:38 - There was also an inscription over him,[fn] “This is the King of the Jews.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:39 - One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him,[fn] saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:41 - And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:42 - And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:43 - And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:45 - while the sun's light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:46 - Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he breathed his last.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:48 - And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:49 - And all his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Galilee stood at a distance watching these things.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:50 - Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:51 - who had not consented to their decision and action; and he was looking for the kingdom of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:53 - Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and laid him in a tomb cut in stone, where no one had ever yet been laid.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:54 - It was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:55 - The women who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:56 - Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:3 - but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:4 - While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:5 - And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:7 - that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:8 - And they remembered his words,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:9 - and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:10 - Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:11 - but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:12 - But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:14 - and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:15 - While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:17 - And he said to them, “What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?” 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 does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:19 - And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:20 - and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:22 - Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:23 - and when they did not find his body, they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:24 - Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:25 - And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:26 - Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:27 - And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:28 - So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He acted as if he were going farther,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:29 - but they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent.” So he went in to stay with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:30 - When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:31 - And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:32 - They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:33 - And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:34 - saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:35 - Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:36 - As they were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:37 - But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:38 - And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:39 - See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:40 - And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:41 - And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:42 - They gave him a piece of broiled fish,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:43 - and he took it and ate before them.
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 24:46 - and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:47 - and that repentance for[fn] the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:49 - And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:50 - And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:51 - While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:52 - And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:53 - and were continually in the temple blessing God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:3 - All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:4 - In him was life,[fn] and the life was the light of men.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:5 - The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:10 - He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:11 - He came to his own,[fn] and his own people[fn] did not receive him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:14 - And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son[fn] from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:15 - (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.'”)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:16 - For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:17 - For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:19 - And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:20 - He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:21 - And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:25 - They asked him, “Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:29 - The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:32 - And John bore witness: “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:33 - I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:34 - And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son[fn] of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:35 - The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:36 - and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:37 - The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:38 - Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:39 - He said to them, “Come and you will see.” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:40 - One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus[fn] was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:41 - He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ).
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:42 - He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter[fn]).
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:43 - The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:44 - Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:45 - Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:46 - Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:47 - Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:48 - Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:49 - Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:50 - Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:51 - And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you,[fn] you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:1 - On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:2 - Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:3 - When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:4 - And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:7 - Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:8 - And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:9 - When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:10 - and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:11 - This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:12 - After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers[fn] and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:13 - The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:14 - In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:15 - And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:16 - And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:18 - So the Jews said to him, “What sign do you show us for doing these things?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:19 - Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:20 - The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple,[fn] and will you raise it up in three days?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:22 - When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:25 - and needed no one to bear witness about man, for he himself knew what was in man.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:2 - This man came to Jesus[fn] by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:3 - Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again[fn] he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:4 - Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:5 - Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:6 - That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:8 - The wind[fn] blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:9 - Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:10 - Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:11 - Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you[fn] do not receive our testimony.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:12 - If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:13 - No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:14 - And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:19 - And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:20 - For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:22 - After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he remained there with them and was baptizing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:23 - John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming and being baptized
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:26 - And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you bore witness—look, he is baptizing, and all are going to him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:27 - John answered, “A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:29 - The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:31 - He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks in an earthly way. He who comes from heaven is above all.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:32 - He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:35 - The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:1 - Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:3 - he left Judea and departed again for Galilee.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:10 - Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:11 - The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:12 - Are you greater than our father Jacob? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:13 - Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:16 - Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:17 - The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband';
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:18 - for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:20 - Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:23 - But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:24 - God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:27 - Just then his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you seek?” or, “Why are you talking with her?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:28 - So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:30 - They went out of the town and were coming to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:34 - Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:35 - Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:36 - Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:37 - For here the saying holds true, ‘One sows and another reaps.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:38 - I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:40 - So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:41 - And many more believed because of his word.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:42 - They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:43 - After the two days he departed for Galilee.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:45 - So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast. For they too had gone to the feast.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:46 - So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was ill.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:47 - When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:48 - So Jesus said to him, “Unless you[fn] see signs and wonders you will not believe.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:50 - Jesus said to him, “Go; your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went on his way.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:51 - As he was going down, his servants[fn] met him and told him that his son was recovering.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:52 - So he asked them the hour when he began to get better, and they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour[fn] the fever left him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:53 - The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” And he himself believed, and all his household.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:1 - After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:6 - When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:8 - Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:9 - And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:11 - But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that man said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:12 - They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:14 - Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:15 - The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:16 - And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:18 - This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:19 - So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father[fn] does, that the Son does likewise.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:20 - For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:21 - For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:24 - Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:25 - “Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:26 - For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:27 - And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:29 - and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:30 - “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:32 - There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:33 - You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:35 - He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:37 - And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:38 - and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:39 - You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:40 - yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:43 - I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:44 - How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:2 - And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:3 - Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:5 - Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:9 - “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are they for so many?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:11 - Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:13 - So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:15 - Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:17 - got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:19 - When they had rowed about three or four miles,[fn] they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:21 - Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:22 - On the next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:24 - So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:25 - When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:26 - Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:29 - Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:30 - So they said to him, “Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:33 - For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:35 - Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:36 - But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:37 - All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:40 - For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:42 - They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:43 - Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:44 - No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:45 - It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me—
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:49 - Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:50 - This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:51 - I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:53 - So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:54 - Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:55 - For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:56 - Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:57 - As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:58 - This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread[fn] the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:63 - It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:64 - But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:65 - And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:66 - After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:67 - So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:69 - and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:70 - Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve? And yet one of you is a devil.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:3 - So his brothers[fn] said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:4 - For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:10 - But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:11 - The Jews were looking for him at the feast, and saying, “Where is he?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:12 - And there was much muttering about him among the people. While some said, “He is a good man,” others said, “No, he is leading the people astray.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:14 - About the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began teaching.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:15 - The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning,[fn] when he has never studied?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:16 - So Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:18 - The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:19 - Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:20 - The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:21 - Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel at it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:22 - Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:26 - And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:28 - So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I come from. But I have not come of my own accord. He who sent me is true, and him you do not know.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:30 - So they were seeking to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:31 - Yet many of the people believed in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:32 - The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:33 - Jesus then said, “I will be with you a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:34 - You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:35 - The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:36 - What does he mean by saying, ‘You will seek me and you will not find me,' and, ‘Where I am you cannot come'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:37 - On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:42 - Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:45 - The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:47 - The Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:51 - “Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:52 - They replied, “Are you from Galilee too? Search and see that no prophet arises from Galilee.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:2 - Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:3 - The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:8 - And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:9 - But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:10 - Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:11 - She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”]]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:14 - Jesus answered, “Even if I do bear witness about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:16 - Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father[fn] who sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:17 - In your Law it is written that the testimony of two people is true.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:18 - I am the one who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:19 - They said to him therefore, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:20 - These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:21 - So he said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:23 - He said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:25 - So they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:26 - I have much to say about you and much to judge, but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:28 - So Jesus said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:29 - And he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:32 - and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:33 - They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:38 - I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:39 - They answered him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing the works Abraham did,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:42 - Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:44 - You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:48 - The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:49 - Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:50 - Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:52 - The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:53 - Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:55 - But you have not known him. 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 keep his word.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:56 - Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:57 - So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:59 - So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:2 - And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:6 - Having said these things, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he anointed the man's eyes with the mud
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:7 - and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:8 - The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar were saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:11 - He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed and received my sight.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:14 - Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:15 - So the Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:16 - Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And there was a division among them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:18 - The Jews[fn] did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:19 - and asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:20 - His parents answered, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:24 - So for the second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:25 - He answered, “Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:27 - He answered them, “I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:28 - And they reviled him, saying, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:30 - The man answered, “Why, this is an amazing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:31 - We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:34 - They answered him, “You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?” And they cast him out.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:35 - Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:36 - He answered, “And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:37 - Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and it is he who is speaking to you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:38 - He said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:39 - Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:40 - Some of the Pharisees near him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:1 - “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:3 - To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:4 - When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:8 - All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:9 - I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:10 - The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:12 - He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:13 - He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:14 - I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:15 - just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:16 - And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:18 - No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:20 - Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:22 - At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:23 - and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:24 - So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:25 - Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:27 - My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:28 - I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:29 - My Father, who has given them to me,[fn] is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:30 - I and the Father are one.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:33 - The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:35 - If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken—
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:36 - do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,' because I said, ‘I am the Son of God'?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:38 - but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:39 - Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:40 - He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:41 - And many came to him. And they said, “John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:42 - And many believed in him there.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:1 - Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:2 - It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:5 - Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:8 - The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:11 - After saying these things, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:15 - and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:16 - So Thomas, called the Twin,[fn] said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:19 - and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:22 - But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:25 - Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.[fn] Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:26 - and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:28 - When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:29 - And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:31 - When the Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:33 - When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved[fn] in his spirit and greatly troubled.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:34 - And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:37 - But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man also have kept this man from dying?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:38 - Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:41 - So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:43 - When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:44 - The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:45 - Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:46 - but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:47 - So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council and said, “What are we to do? For this man performs many signs.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:48 - If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:50 - Nor do you understand that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:52 - and not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:55 - Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover to purify themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:56 - They were looking for[fn] Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast at all?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:57 - Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should let them know, so that they might arrest him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:2 - So they gave a dinner for him there. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those reclining with him at table.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:3 - Mary therefore took a pound[fn] of expensive ointment made from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:5 - “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii[fn] and given to the poor?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:6 - He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:9 - When the large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus[fn] was there, they came, not only on account of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:10 - So the chief priests made plans to put Lazarus to death as well,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:11 - because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:13 - So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:16 - His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:17 - The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:18 - The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:21 - So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:22 - Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:25 - Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:26 - If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:27 - “Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour'? But for this purpose I have come to this hour.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:28 - Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:29 - The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:30 - Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not mine.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:34 - So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:35 - So Jesus said to them, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:36 - While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:38 - so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
“Lord, who has believed what he heard from us,
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:40 - “He has blinded their eyes
and hardened their heart,
lest they see with their eyes,
and understand with their heart, and turn,
and I would heal them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:41 - Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:42 - Nevertheless, many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:44 - And Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:45 - And whoever sees me sees him who sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:47 - If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:48 - The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:49 - For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:50 - And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:2 - During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:3 - Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:4 - rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:5 - Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:6 - He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:7 - Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:9 - Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:10 - Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet,[fn] but is completely clean. And you[fn] are clean, but not every one of you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:12 - When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:13 - You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:14 - If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:15 - For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:21 - After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, “Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:26 - Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:27 - Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:31 - When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:32 - If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:33 - Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:34 - A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:1 - “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God;[fn] believe also in me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:3 - And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:4 - And you know the way to where I am going.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:5 - Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:6 - Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:7 - If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.[fn] From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:8 - Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:9 - Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father'?
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 authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:11 - Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:12 - “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:13 - Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:16 - And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper,[fn] to be with you forever,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:17 - even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be[fn] in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:19 - Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:20 - In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:21 - Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:22 - Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:23 - Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:24 - Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:26 - But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:28 - You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:29 - And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:30 - I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:31 - but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:1 - “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:2 - Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:6 - If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:7 - If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:8 - By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:10 - If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:11 - These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:16 - You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:20 - Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:22 - If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin,[fn] but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:23 - Whoever hates me hates my Father also.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:24 - If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:27 - And you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:3 - And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:5 - But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?'
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:8 - And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:10 - concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:13 - When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:14 - He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:15 - All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:16 - “A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:17 - So some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me'; and, ‘because I am going to the Father'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:19 - Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me'?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:20 - Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy.
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 from you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:23 - In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:24 - Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:26 - In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:27 - for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:28 - I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:29 - His disciples said, “Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not using figurative speech!
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:30 - Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that you came from God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:32 - Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:1 - When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:3 - And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:5 - And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:6 - “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:8 - For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:10 - All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:11 - And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:12 - While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:13 - But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:14 - I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:19 - And for their sake I consecrate myself,[fn] that they also may be sanctified[fn] in truth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:20 - “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:21 - that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:22 - The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:23 - I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:25 - O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:26 - I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:1 - When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:2 - Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:3 - So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:5 - They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.”[fn] Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:6 - When Jesus[fn] said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:10 - Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant[fn] and cut off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:12 - So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews[fn] arrested Jesus and bound him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:13 - First they led him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:15 - Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:16 - but Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the servant girl who kept watch at the door, and brought Peter in.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:17 - The servant girl at the door said to Peter, “You also are not one of this man's disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:18 - Now the servants[fn] and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves. Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:19 - The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:20 - Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:25 - Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “You also are not one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:27 - Peter again denied it, and at once a rooster crowed.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:28 - Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters.[fn] It was early morning. They themselves did not enter the governor's headquarters, so that they would not be defiled, but could eat the Passover.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:29 - So Pilate went outside to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:30 - They answered him, “If this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him over to you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:31 - Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:33 - So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:35 - Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:37 - Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:38 - Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no guilt in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:1 - Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:2 - And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:3 - They came up to him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck him with their hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:5 - So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:6 - When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:7 - The Jews[fn] answered him, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has made himself the Son of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:9 - He entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:10 - So Pilate said to him, “You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:13 - So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic[fn] Gabbatha.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:14 - Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour.[fn] He said to the Jews, “Behold your King!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:16 - So he delivered him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:17 - and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:18 - There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:19 - Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:20 - Many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:23 - When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic.[fn] But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:24 - so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture which says,
“They divided my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots.” So the soldiers did these things,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:25 - but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:26 - When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:27 - Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:29 - A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:30 - When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:31 - Since it was the day of Preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:32 - So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:34 - But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:35 - He who saw it has borne witness—his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—that you also may believe.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:37 - And again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they have pierced.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:38 - After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:39 - Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus[fn] by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds[fn] in weight.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:40 - So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:41 - Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:1 - Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:2 - So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:3 - So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:4 - Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:5 - And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:6 - Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:7 - and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus'[fn] head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:8 - Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:12 - And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:13 - They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:14 - Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:17 - Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:18 - Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:19 - On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews,[fn] Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:20 - When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:22 - And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:25 - So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:26 - Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:27 - Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:28 - Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:29 - Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:30 - Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:31 - but these are written 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 21:2 - Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:3 - Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:6 - He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:7 - That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:9 - When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:11 - So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:13 - Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:17 - He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:18 - Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:19 - (This he said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, “Follow me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:20 - Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one who also had leaned back against him during the supper and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:23 - So the saying spread abroad among the brothers[fn] that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:24 - This is the disciple who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:25 - Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:1 - In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:3 - He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:4 - And while staying[fn] with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:8 - But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:9 - And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:10 - And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:11 - and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:13 - And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:14 - All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:17 - For he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:18 - (Now this man acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness, and falling headlong[fn] he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:19 - And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:20 - “For it is written in the Book of Psalms,
“‘May his camp become desolate,
and let there be no one to dwell in it'; and
“‘Let another take his office.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:21 - So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:23 - And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:24 - And they prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:25 - to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:26 - And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:2 - And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:3 - And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested[fn] on each one of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:4 - And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:6 - And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:7 - And they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:8 - And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:9 - Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:10 - Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:11 - both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:12 - And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:14 - But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:17 - “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:18 - even on my male servants and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:19 - And I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:20 - the sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:21 - And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:22 - “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know—
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:23 - this Jesus,[fn] delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:26 - therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
my flesh also will dwell in hope.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:29 - “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:30 - Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:33 - Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:36 - Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:37 - Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:38 - And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you 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 2:39 - For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:40 - And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:41 - So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:42 - And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:43 - And awe[fn] came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:44 - And all who believed were together and had all things in common.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:45 - And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:46 - And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:47 - praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:1 - Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:3 - Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:6 - But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:7 - And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:8 - And leaping up, he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:9 - And all the people saw him walking and praising God,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:10 - and recognized him as the one who sat at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, asking for alms. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:11 - While he clung to Peter and John, all the people, utterly astounded, ran together to them in the portico called Solomon's.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:13 - The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant[fn] Jesus, whom you delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:14 - But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:16 - And his name—by faith in his name—has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is through Jesus[fn] has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:17 - “And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:19 - Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:20 - that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:24 - And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed these days.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:25 - You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:1 - And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:2 - greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:3 - And they arrested them and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:4 - But many of those who had heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to about five thousand.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:5 - On the next day their rulers and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:6 - with Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:7 - And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, “By what power or by what name did you do this?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:8 - Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:10 - let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:12 - And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men[fn] by which we must be saved.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:13 - Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:16 - saying, “What shall we do with these men? For that a notable sign has been performed through them is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:18 - So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:19 - But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:20 - for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:23 - When they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:24 - And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:25 - who through the mouth of our father David, your servant,[fn] said by the Holy Spirit,
“‘Why did the Gentiles rage,
and the peoples plot in vain?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:26 - The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers were gathered together,
against the Lord and against his Anointed'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:27 - for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:28 - to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:29 - And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:30 - while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:31 - And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:32 - Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:33 - And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:35 - and laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:37 - sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:2 - and with his wife's knowledge he kept back for himself some of the proceeds and brought only a part of it and laid it at the apostles' feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:3 - But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:4 - While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to man but to God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:5 - When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and breathed his last. And great fear came upon all who heard of it.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:6 - The young men rose and wrapped him up and carried him out and buried him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:7 - After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:9 - But Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:10 - Immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. When the young men came in they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:11 - And great fear came upon the whole church and upon all who heard of these things.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:12 - Now many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon's Portico.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:14 - And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:15 - so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:16 - The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:17 - But the high priest rose up, and all who were with him (that is, the party of the Sadducees), and filled with jealousy
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:18 - they arrested the apostles and put them in the public prison.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:20 - “Go and stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:21 - And when they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak and began to teach. Now when the high priest came, and those who were with him, they called together the council, all the senate of the people of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:23 - “We found the prison securely locked 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 captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed about them, wondering what this would come to.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:25 - And someone came and told them, “Look! The men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:27 - And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:28 - saying, “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man's blood upon us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:29 - But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:31 - God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:32 - And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:33 - When they heard this, they were enraged and wanted to kill them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:36 - For before these days Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:37 - After him Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and drew away some of the people after him. He too perished, and all who followed him were scattered.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:38 - So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:39 - but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!” So they took his advice,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:40 - and when they had called in the apostles, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:42 - And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:3 - Therefore, brothers,[fn] pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:4 - But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:5 - And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:6 - These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:7 - And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:8 - And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:9 - Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputed with Stephen.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:10 - But they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:11 - Then they secretly instigated men who said, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:12 - And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:13 - and they set up false witnesses who said, “This man never ceases to speak words against this holy place and the law,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:14 - for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and will change the customs that Moses delivered to us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:15 - And gazing at him, all who sat in the council saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:2 - And Stephen said: “Brothers and fathers, hear me. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:3 - and said to him, ‘Go out from your land and from your kindred and go into the land that I will show you.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:5 - Yet he gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot's length, but promised to give it to him as a possession and to his offspring after him, though he had no child.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:6 - And God spoke to this effect—that his offspring would be sojourners in a land belonging to others, who would enslave them and afflict them four hundred years.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:7 - ‘But I will judge the nation that they serve,' said God, ‘and after that they shall come out and worship me in this place.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:8 - And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:9 - “And the patriarchs, jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt; but God was with him
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:10 - and rescued him out of all his afflictions and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him ruler over Egypt and over all his household.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:11 - Now there came a famine throughout all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers could find no food.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:13 - And on the second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:14 - And Joseph sent and summoned Jacob his father and all his kindred, seventy-five persons in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:15 - And Jacob went down into Egypt, and he died, he and our fathers,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:16 - and they were carried back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:17 - “But as the time of the promise drew near, which God had granted to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:20 - At this time Moses was born; and he was beautiful in God's sight. And he was brought up for three months in his father's house,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:21 - and when he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter adopted him and brought him up as her own son.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:22 - And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:24 - And seeing one of them being wronged, he defended the oppressed man and avenged him by striking down the Egyptian.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:26 - And on the following day he appeared to them as they were quarreling and tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers. Why do you wrong each other?'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:27 - But the man who was wronging his neighbor thrust him aside, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:29 - At this retort Moses fled and became an exile in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:32 - ‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob.' And Moses trembled and did not dare to look.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:34 - I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you to Egypt.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:35 - “This Moses, whom they rejected, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?'—this man God sent as both ruler and redeemer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:36 - This man led them out, performing wonders and signs in Egypt and at the Red Sea and in the wilderness for forty years.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:38 - This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. He received living oracles to give to us.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:39 - Our fathers refused to obey him, but thrust him aside, and in their hearts they turned to Egypt,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:41 - And they made a calf in those days, and offered a sacrifice to the idol and were rejoicing in the works of their hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:42 - But God turned away and gave them over to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets:
“‘Did you bring to me slain beasts and sacrifices,
during the forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:43 - You took up the tent of Moloch
and the star of your god Rephan,
the images that you made to worship;
and I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:45 - Our fathers in turn brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations that God drove out before our fathers. So it was until the days of David,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:46 - who found favor in the sight of God and asked to find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:51 - “You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:52 - Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:53 - you who received the law as delivered by angels and did not keep it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:54 - Now when they heard these things they were enraged, and they ground their teeth at him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:55 - But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:56 - And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:57 - But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed together[fn] at him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:58 - Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:59 - And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:60 - And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:1 - And Saul approved of his execution. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:2 - Devout men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:3 - But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:6 - And the crowds with one accord paid attention to what was being said by Philip, when they heard him and saw the signs that he did.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:7 - For unclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came out of many who had them, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:8 - So there was much joy in that city.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:9 - But there was a man named Simon, who had previously practiced magic in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was somebody great.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:12 - But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:13 - Even Simon himself believed, and after being baptized he continued with Philip. And seeing signs and great miracles[fn] performed, he was amazed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:14 - Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:17 - Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:22 - Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:23 - For I see that you are in the gall[fn] of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:25 - Now when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:26 - Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south[fn] to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:27 - And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:28 - and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:29 - And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:30 - So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:32 - Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this:
“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter
and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he opens not his mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:35 - Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:38 - And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:39 - And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:40 - But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he preached the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:1 - But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:2 - and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:3 - Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:4 - And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:6 - But rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:9 - And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:10 - Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:11 - And the Lord said to him, “Rise and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul, for behold, he is praying,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:12 - and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:14 - And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:15 - But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:17 - So Ananias departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:18 - And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:19 - and taking food, he was strengthened. For some days he was with the disciples at Damascus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:20 - And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “He is the Son of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:21 - And all who heard him were amazed and said, “Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called upon this name? And has he not come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:22 - But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:24 - but their plot became known to Saul. They were watching the gates day and night in order to kill him,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:26 - And when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join the disciples. And they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:27 - But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles and declared to them how on the road he had seen the Lord, who spoke to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:28 - So he went in and out among them at Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:29 - And he spoke and disputed against the Hellenists.[fn] But they were seeking to kill him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:30 - And when the brothers learned this, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:31 - So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:32 - Now as Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:34 - And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed.” And immediately he rose.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:35 - And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:36 - Now there was in Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which, translated, means Dorcas.[fn] She was full of good works and acts of charity.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:39 - So Peter rose and went with them. And when he arrived, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him weeping and showing tunics[fn] and other garments that Dorcas made while she was with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:40 - But Peter put them all outside, and knelt down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:41 - And he gave her his hand and raised her up. Then, calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:42 - And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:2 - a devout man who feared God with all his household, gave alms generously to the people, and prayed continually to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:3 - About the ninth hour of the day[fn] he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God come in and say to him, “Cornelius.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:4 - And he stared at him in terror and said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:5 - And now send men to Joppa and bring one Simon who is called Peter.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:7 - When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who attended him,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:8 - and having related everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:9 - The next day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour[fn] to pray.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:10 - And he became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:11 - and saw the heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:12 - In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:13 - And there came a voice to him: “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:15 - And the voice came to him again a second time, “What God has made clean, do not call common.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:16 - This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:17 - Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what the vision that he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood at the gate
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:18 - and called out to ask whether Simon who was called Peter was lodging there.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:20 - Rise and go down and accompany them without hesitation,[fn] for I have sent them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:22 - And they said, “Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to hear what you have to say.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:24 - And on the following day they entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:27 - And as he talked with him, he went in and found many persons gathered.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:28 - And he said to them, “You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit anyone of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:29 - So when I was sent for, I came without objection. I ask then why you sent for me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:30 - And Cornelius said, “Four days ago, about this hour, I was praying in my house at the ninth hour,[fn] and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:31 - and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:32 - Send therefore to Joppa and ask for Simon who is called Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:35 - but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:38 - how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:39 - And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:40 - but God raised him on the third day and made him to appear,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:41 - not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:42 - And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:45 - And the believers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:46 - For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:47 - “Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:1 - Now the apostles and the brothers[fn] who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:2 - So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party[fn] criticized him, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:3 - “You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:5 - “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, something like a great sheet descending, being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:6 - Looking at it closely, I observed animals and beasts of prey and reptiles and birds of the air.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:7 - And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:10 - This happened three times, and all was drawn up again into heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:11 - And behold, at that very moment three men arrived at the house in which we were, sent to me from Caesarea.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:12 - And the Spirit told me to go with them, making no distinction. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered the man's house.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:13 - And he told us how he had seen the angel stand in his house and say, ‘Send to Joppa and bring Simon who is called Peter;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:14 - he will declare to you a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:15 - As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:17 - If then God gave the same gift to them as he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God's way?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:18 - When they heard these things they fell silent. And they glorified God, saying, “Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:19 - Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:20 - But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists[fn] also, preaching the Lord Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:21 - And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number who believed turned to the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:22 - The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:23 - When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:24 - for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:26 - and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:28 - And one of them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the world (this took place in the days of Claudius).
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:30 - And they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:3 - and when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during the days of Unleavened Bread.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:4 - And when he had seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out to the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:7 - And behold, an angel of the Lord stood next to him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:8 - And the angel said to him, “Dress yourself and put on your sandals.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:9 - And he went out and followed him. He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:10 - When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them of its own accord, and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel left him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:11 - When Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:12 - When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:14 - Recognizing Peter's voice, in her joy she did not open the gate but ran in and reported that Peter was standing at the gate.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:16 - But Peter continued knocking, and when they opened, they saw him and were amazed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:17 - But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, “Tell these things to James and to the brothers.”[fn] Then he departed and went to another place.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:19 - And after Herod searched for him and did not find him, he examined the sentries and ordered that they should be put to death. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent time there.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:20 - Now Herod was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they came to him with one accord, and having persuaded Blastus, the king's chamberlain,[fn] they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king's country for food.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:21 - On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat upon the throne, and delivered an oration to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:22 - And the people were shouting, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:23 - Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:24 - But the word of God increased and multiplied.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:25 - And Barnabas and Saul returned from[fn] Jerusalem when they had completed their service, bringing with them John, whose other name was Mark.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:1 - Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger,[fn] Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a lifelong friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:2 - While they were worshiping 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 13:3 - Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:5 - When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John to assist them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:7 - He was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:9 - But Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:10 - and said, “You son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and villainy, will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:11 - And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and unable to see the sun for a time.” Immediately mist and darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking people to lead him by the hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:14 - but they went on from Perga and came to Antioch in Pisidia. 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 rulers of the synagogue sent a message to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of encouragement for the people, say it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:16 - So Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said: “Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:17 - The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:18 - And for about forty years he put up with[fn] them in the wilderness.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:19 - And after destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:20 - All this took about 450 years. And after that he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:21 - Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:22 - And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:26 - “Brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to us has been sent the message of this salvation.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:27 - For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:28 - And though they found in him no guilt worthy of death, they asked Pilate to have him executed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:32 - And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:33 - this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm,
“‘You are my Son,
today I have begotten you.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:35 - Therefore he says also in another psalm,
“‘You will not let your Holy One see corruption.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:36 - For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was laid with his fathers and saw corruption,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:41 - “‘Look, you scoffers,
be astounded and perish;
for I am doing a work in your days,
a work that you will not believe, even if one tells it to you.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:43 - And after the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who, as they spoke with them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:45 - But when the Jews[fn] saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to contradict what was spoken by Paul, reviling him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:46 - And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you. Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:48 - And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:50 - But the Jews incited the devout women of high standing and the leading men of the city, stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:52 - And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:1 - Now at Iconium they entered together into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:2 - But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:3 - So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:4 - But the people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews and some with the apostles.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:5 - When an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat them and to stone them,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:6 - they learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding country,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:9 - He listened to Paul speaking. And Paul, looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be made well,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:10 - said in a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet.” And he sprang up and began walking.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:13 - And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance to the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates and wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:14 - But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their garments and rushed out into the crowd, crying out,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:15 - “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men, of like nature with you, and we bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:17 - Yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good by giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:18 - Even with these words they scarcely restrained the people from offering sacrifice to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:19 - But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:20 - But when the disciples gathered about him, he rose up and entered the city, and on the next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:21 - When they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:22 - strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:24 - Then they passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:25 - And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:27 - And when they arrived and gathered the church together, they declared all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:2 - And after Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:3 - So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and brought great joy to all the brothers.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:4 - When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they declared all that God had done with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:6 - The apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:7 - And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:8 - And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:9 - and he made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:12 - And all the assembly fell silent, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:15 - And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:16 - “‘After this I will return,
and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen;
I will rebuild its ruins,
and I will restore it,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:17 - that the remnant[fn] of mankind may seek the Lord,
and all the Gentiles who are called by my name,
says the Lord, who makes these things
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:20 - but should write to them to abstain from the things polluted by idols, and from sexual immorality, and from what has been strangled, and from blood.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:22 - Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:23 - with the following letter: “The brothers, both the apostles and the elders, to the brothers[fn] who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greetings.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:24 - Since we have heard that some persons have gone out from us and troubled you[fn] with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:25 - it has seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:27 - We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:28 - For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no greater burden than these requirements:
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:29 - that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:30 - So when they were sent off, they went down to Antioch, and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:32 - And Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, encouraged and strengthened the brothers with many words.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:35 - But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:38 - But Paul thought best not to take with them one who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:41 - And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:1 - Paul[fn] came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:2 - He was well spoken of by the brothers[fn] at Lystra and Iconium.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:3 - Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:4 - As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions that had been reached by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:5 - So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:6 - And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:7 - And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:9 - And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:13 - And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:15 - And after she was baptized, and her household as well, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” And she prevailed upon us.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:17 - She followed Paul and us, crying out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:18 - And this she kept doing for many days. Paul, having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:19 - But when her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:20 - And when they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men are Jews, and they are disturbing our city.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:21 - They advocate customs that are not lawful for us as Romans to accept or practice.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:22 - The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them with rods.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:24 - Having received this order, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:25 - About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:26 - and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were unfastened.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:27 - When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:29 - And the jailer[fn] called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:30 - Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:31 - And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:32 - And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:33 - And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:34 - Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:37 - But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now throw us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us out.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:38 - The police reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:39 - So they came and apologized to them. And they took them out and asked them to leave the city.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:40 - So they went out of the prison and visited Lydia. And when they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them and departed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:1 - Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:2 - And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:3 - explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:4 - And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a great many of the devout Greeks and not a few of the leading women.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:5 - But the Jews[fn] were jealous, and taking some wicked men of the rabble, they formed a mob, set the city in an uproar, and attacked the house of Jason, seeking to bring them out to the crowd.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:6 - And when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:7 - and Jason has received them, and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:8 - And the people and the city authorities were disturbed when they heard these things.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:9 - And when they had taken money as security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:10 - The brothers[fn] immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:12 - Many of them therefore believed, with not a few Greek women of high standing as well as men.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:13 - But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Berea also, they came there too, agitating and stirring up the crowds.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:14 - Then the brothers immediately sent Paul off on his way to the sea, but Silas and Timothy remained there.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:15 - Those who conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens, and after receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:17 - So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:18 - Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also conversed with him. And some said, “What does this babbler wish to say?” Others said, “He seems to be a preacher of foreign divinities”—because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:21 - Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there would spend their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:23 - For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘To the unknown god.' What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:24 - The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:25 - nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:26 - And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:27 - that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:28 - for
“‘In him we live and move and have our being';[fn] as even some of your own poets have said,
“‘For we are indeed his offspring.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:29 - Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:33 - So Paul went out from their midst.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:34 - But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:2 - And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:3 - and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:4 - And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:5 - When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:6 - And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:7 - And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God. His house was next door to the synagogue.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:8 - Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:9 - And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:10 - for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:11 - And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:12 - But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews[fn] made a united attack on Paul and brought him before the tribunal,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:15 - But since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of these things.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:16 - And he drove them from the tribunal.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:17 - And they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to any of this.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:18 - After this, Paul stayed many days longer and then took leave of the brothers[fn] and set sail for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila. At Cenchreae he had cut his hair, for he was under a vow.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:21 - But on taking leave of them he said, “I will return to you if God wills,” and he set sail from Ephesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:22 - When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and then went down to Antioch.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:23 - After spending some time there, he departed and went from one place to the next through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:25 - He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit,[fn] he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:26 - He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:1 - And it happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the inland[fn] country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:6 - And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in tongues and prophesying.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:8 - And he entered the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:9 - But when some became stubborn and continued in unbelief, speaking evil of the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrannus.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:10 - This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:12 - so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:15 - But the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:16 - And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all[fn] of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:17 - And this became known to all the residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:18 - Also many of those who were now believers came, confessing and divulging their practices.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:19 - And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:20 - So the word of the Lord continued to increase and prevail mightily.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:21 - Now after these events Paul resolved in the Spirit to pass through Macedonia and Achaia and go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:22 - And having sent into Macedonia two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:25 - These he gathered together, with the workmen in similar trades, and said, “Men, you know that from this business we have our wealth.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:26 - And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but in almost all of Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great many people, saying that gods made with hands are not gods.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:27 - And there is danger not only that this trade of ours may come into disrepute but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis may be counted as nothing, and that she may even be deposed from her magnificence, she whom all Asia and the world worship.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:28 - When they heard this they were enraged and were crying out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:29 - So the city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed together into the theater, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians who were Paul's companions in travel.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:31 - And even some of the Asiarchs,[fn] who were friends of his, sent to him and were urging him not to venture into the theater.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:32 - Now some cried out one thing, some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and most of them did not know why they had come together.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:35 - And when the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, “Men of Ephesus, who is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Artemis, and of the sacred stone that fell from the sky?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:36 - Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rash.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:38 - If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a complaint against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls. Let them bring charges against one another.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:40 - For we really are in danger of being charged with rioting today, since there is no cause that we can give to justify this commotion.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:1 - After the uproar ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and after encouraging them, he said farewell and departed for Macedonia.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:2 - When he had gone through those regions and had given them much encouragement, he came to Greece.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:4 - Sopater the Berean, son of Pyrrhus, accompanied him; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and the Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:6 - but we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days we came to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:9 - And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:10 - But Paul went down and bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said, “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:11 - And when Paul had gone up and had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:12 - And they took the youth away alive, and were not a little comforted.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:15 - And sailing from there we came the following day opposite Chios; the next day we touched at Samos; and[fn] the day after that we went to Miletus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:19 - serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials that happened to me through the plots of the Jews;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:20 - how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:21 - testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:22 - And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, constrained by[fn] the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:23 - except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that imprisonment and afflictions await me.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:24 - But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:28 - Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God,[fn] which he obtained with his own blood.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:30 - and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:31 - Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night or day to admonish every one with tears.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:32 - And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:34 - You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities and to those who were with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:37 - And there was much weeping on the part of all; they embraced Paul and kissed him,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:2 - And having found a ship crossing to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:3 - When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload its cargo.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:4 - And having sought out the disciples, we stayed there for seven days. And through the Spirit they were telling Paul not to go on to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:5 - When our days there were ended, we departed and went on our journey, and they all, with wives and children, accompanied us until we were outside the city. And kneeling down on the beach, we prayed
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:6 - and said farewell to one another. Then we went on board the ship, and they returned home.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:7 - When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and we greeted the brothers[fn] and stayed with them for one day.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:8 - On the next day we departed and came to Caesarea, and we entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:11 - And coming to us, he took Paul's belt and bound his own feet and hands and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘This is how the Jews[fn] at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:12 - When we heard this, we and the people there urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:13 - Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:16 - And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing us to the house of Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:19 - After greeting them, he related one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:20 - And when they heard it, they glorified God. And they said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed. They are all zealous for the law,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:24 - take these men and purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses, so that they may shave their heads. Thus all will know that there is nothing in what they have been told about you, but that you yourself also live in observance of the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:25 - But as for the Gentiles who have believed, we have sent a letter with our judgment that they should abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled,[fn] and from sexual immorality.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:27 - When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and laid hands on him,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:28 - crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and the law and this place. Moreover, he even brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:30 - Then all the city was stirred up, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:32 - He at once took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:33 - Then the tribune came up and arrested him and ordered him to be bound with two chains. He inquired who he was and what he had done.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:38 - Are you not the Egyptian, then, who recently stirred up a revolt and led the four thousand men of the Assassins out into the wilderness?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:1 - “Brothers and fathers, hear the defense that I now make before you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:2 - And when they heard that he was addressing them in the Hebrew language,[fn] they became even more quiet. And he said:
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:4 - I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering to prison both men and women,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:5 - as the high priest and the whole council of elders can bear me witness. From them I received letters to the brothers, and I journeyed toward Damascus to take those also who were there and bring them in bonds to Jerusalem to be punished.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:6 - “As I was on my way and drew near to Damascus, about noon a great light from heaven suddenly shone around me.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:7 - And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:9 - Now those who were with me saw the light but did not understand[fn] the voice of the one who was speaking to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:13 - came to me, and standing by me said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight.' And at that very hour I received my sight and saw him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:14 - And he said, ‘The God of our fathers appointed you to know his will, to see the Righteous One and to hear a voice from his mouth;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:15 - for you will be a witness for him to everyone of what you have seen and heard.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:16 - And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:17 - “When I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, I fell into a trance
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:18 - and saw him saying to me, ‘Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about me.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:19 - And I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that in one synagogue after another I imprisoned and beat those who believed in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:20 - And when the blood of Stephen your witness was being shed, I myself was standing by and approving and watching over the garments of those who killed him.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:21 - And he said to me, ‘Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:22 - Up to this word they listened to him. Then they raised their voices and said, “Away with such a fellow from the earth! For he should not be allowed to live.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:23 - And as they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and flinging dust into the air,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:25 - But when they had stretched him out for the whips,[fn] Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, “Is it lawful for you to flog a man who is a Roman citizen and uncondemned?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:28 - The tribune answered, “I bought this citizenship for a large sum.” Paul said, “But I am a citizen by birth.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:29 - So those who were about to examine him withdrew from him immediately, and the tribune also was afraid, for he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had bound him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:30 - But on the next day, desiring to know the real reason why he was being accused by the Jews, he unbound him and commanded the chief priests and all the council to meet, and he brought Paul down and set him before them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:3 - Then Paul said to him, “God is going to strike you, you whitewashed wall! Are you sitting to judge me according to the law, and yet contrary to the law you order me to be struck?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:6 - Now when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. It is with respect to the hope and the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:7 - And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:9 - Then a great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees' party stood up and contended sharply, “We find nothing wrong in this man. What if a spirit or an angel spoke to him?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:11 - The following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Take courage, for as you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so you must testify also in Rome.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:14 - They went to the chief priests and elders and said, “We have strictly bound ourselves by an oath to taste no food till we have killed Paul.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:16 - Now the son of Paul's sister heard of their ambush, so he went and entered the barracks and told Paul.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:18 - So he took him and brought him to the tribune and said, “Paul the prisoner called me and asked me to bring this young man to you, as he has something to say to you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:19 - The tribune took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:21 - But do not be persuaded by them, for more than forty of their men are lying in ambush for him, who have bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they have killed him. And now they are ready, waiting for your consent.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:23 - Then he called two of the centurions and said, “Get ready two hundred soldiers, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen to go as far as Caesarea at the third hour of the night.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:27 - This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them when I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman citizen.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:30 - And when it was disclosed to me that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, ordering his accusers also to state before you what they have against him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:33 - When they had come to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they presented Paul also before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:34 - On reading the letter, he asked what province he was from. And when he learned that he was from Cilicia,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:35 - he said, “I will give you a hearing when your accusers arrive.” And he commanded him to be guarded in Herod's praetorium.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:1 - And after five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and a spokesman, one Tertullus. They laid before the governor their case against Paul.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:2 - And when he had been summoned, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying: “Since through you we enjoy much peace, and since by your foresight, most excellent Felix, reforms are being made for this nation,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:3 - in every way and everywhere we accept this with all gratitude.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:5 - For we have found this man a plague, one who stirs up riots among all the Jews throughout the world and is a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:6 - He even tried to profane the temple, but we seized him.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:9 - The Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that all these things were so.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:12 - and they did not find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the temple or in the synagogues or in the city.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:14 - But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, I worship the God of our fathers, believing everything laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:15 - having a hope in God, which these men themselves accept, that there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:16 - So I always take pains to have a clear conscience toward both God and man.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:17 - Now after several years I came to bring alms to my nation and to present offerings.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:19 - they ought to be here before you and to make an accusation, should they have anything against me.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:23 - Then he gave orders to the centurion that he should be kept in custody but have some liberty, and that none of his friends should be prevented from attending to his needs.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:24 - After some days Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, and he sent for Paul and heard him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:25 - And as he reasoned about righteousness and self-control and the coming judgment, Felix was alarmed and said, “Go away for the present. When I get an opportunity I will summon you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:26 - At the same time he hoped that money would be given him by Paul. So he sent for him often and conversed with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:2 - And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews laid out their case against Paul, and they urged him,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:7 - When he had arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many and serious charges against him that they could not prove.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:10 - But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar's tribunal, where I ought to be tried. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as you yourself know very well.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:11 - If then I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything for which I deserve to die, I do not seek to escape death. But if there is nothing to their charges against me, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:13 - Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted Festus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:15 - and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid out their case against him, asking for a sentence of condemnation against him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:19 - Rather they had certain points of dispute with him about their own religion and about a certain Jesus, who was dead, but whom Paul asserted to be alive.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:22 - Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” said he, “you will hear him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:23 - So on the next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp, and they entered the audience hall with the military tribunes and the prominent men of the city. Then, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:24 - And Festus said, “King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man about whom the whole Jewish people petitioned me, both in Jerusalem and here, shouting that he ought not to live any longer.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:25 - But I found that he had done nothing deserving death. And as he himself appealed to the emperor, I decided to go ahead and send him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:26 - But I have nothing definite to write to my lord about him. Therefore I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that, after we have examined him, I may have something to write.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:27 - For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to indicate the charges against him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:3 - especially because you are familiar with all the customs and controversies of the Jews. Therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:6 - And now I stand here on trial because of my hope in the promise made by God to our fathers,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:7 - to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly worship night and day. And for this hope I am accused by Jews, O king!
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:10 - And I did so in Jerusalem. I not only locked up many of the saints in prison after receiving authority from the chief priests, but when they were put to death I cast my vote against them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:11 - And I punished them often in all the synagogues and tried to make them blaspheme, and in raging fury against them I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:12 - “In this connection I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:13 - At midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, that shone around me and those who journeyed with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:14 - And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language,[fn] ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:16 - But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:17 - delivering you from your people and from the Gentiles—to whom I am sending you
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:18 - to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:20 - but declared first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all the region of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds in keeping with their repentance.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:22 - To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come to pass:
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:23 - that the Christ must suffer and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:25 - But Paul said, “I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I am speaking true and rational words.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:26 - For the king knows about these things, and to him I speak boldly. For I am persuaded that none of these things has escaped his notice, for this has not been done in a corner.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:29 - And Paul said, “Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am—except for these chains.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:30 - Then the king rose, and the governor and Bernice and those who were sitting with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:31 - And when they had withdrawn, they said to one another, “This man is doing nothing to deserve death or imprisonment.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:5 - And when we had sailed across the open sea along the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:7 - We sailed slowly for a number of days and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, and as the wind did not allow us to go farther, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:9 - Since much time had passed, and the voyage was now dangerous because even the Fast[fn] was already over, Paul advised them,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:10 - saying, “Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:11 - But the centurion paid more attention to the pilot and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:12 - And because the harbor was not suitable to spend the winter in, the majority decided to put out to sea from there, on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing both southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:15 - And when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:19 - And on the third day they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:21 - Since they had been without food for a long time, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me and not have set sail from Crete and incurred this injury and loss.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:22 - Yet now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:23 - For this very night there stood before me an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I worship,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:24 - and he said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:28 - So they took a sounding and found twenty fathoms.[fn] A little farther on they took a sounding again and found fifteen fathoms.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:30 - And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, and had lowered the ship's boat into the sea under pretense of laying out anchors from the bow,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:31 - Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:32 - Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship's boat and let it go.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:35 - And when he had said these things, he took bread, and giving thanks to God in the presence of all he broke it and began to eat.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:36 - Then they all were encouraged and ate some food themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:40 - So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that tied the rudders. Then hoisting the foresail to the wind they made for the beach.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:41 - But striking a reef,[fn] they ran the vessel aground. The bow stuck and remained immovable, and the stern was being broken up by the surf.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:44 - and the rest on planks or on pieces of the ship. And so it was that all were brought safely to land.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:2 - The native people[fn] showed us unusual kindness, for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:3 - When Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:6 - They were waiting for him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But when they had waited a long time and saw no misfortune come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:8 - It happened that the father of Publius lay sick with fever and dysentery. And Paul visited him and prayed, and putting his hands on him, healed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:9 - And when this had taken place, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:10 - They also honored us greatly,[fn] and when we were about to sail, they put on board whatever we needed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:12 - Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there for three days.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:13 - And from there we made a circuit and arrived at Rhegium. And after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:14 - There we found brothers[fn] and were invited to stay with them for seven days. And so we came to Rome.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:15 - And the brothers there, when they heard about us, came as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns to meet us. On seeing them, Paul thanked God and took courage.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:20 - For this reason, therefore, I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is because of the hope of Israel that I am wearing this chain.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:23 - When they had appointed a day for him, they came to him at his lodging in greater numbers. From morning till evening he expounded to them, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:24 - And some were convinced by what he said, but others disbelieved.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:26 - “‘Go to this people, and say,
“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:27 - For this people's heart has grown dull,
and with their ears they can barely hear,
and their eyes they have closed;
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and turn, and I would heal them.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:28 - Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:30 - He lived there two whole years at his own expense,[fn] and welcomed all who came to him,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:31 - proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:5 - through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:6 - including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:7 - To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:12 - that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:13 - I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,[fn] that I have often intended to come to you (but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:14 - I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians,[fn] both to the wise and to the foolish.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:15 - So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:16 - For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:18 - For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:20 - For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[fn] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:21 - For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:23 - and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:24 - Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:25 - because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:27 - and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:28 - And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:32 - Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:3 - Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:4 - Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:5 - But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:7 - to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:8 - but for those who are self-seeking[fn] and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:9 - There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:10 - but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:12 - For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:15 - They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:17 - But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:18 - and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:20 - an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:27 - Then he who is physically[fn] uncircumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who have the written code[fn] and circumcision but break the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:29 - But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:4 - By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written,
“That you may be justified in your words,
and prevail when you are judged.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:8 - And why not do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:9 - What then? Are we Jews[fn] any better off?[fn] No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:14 - “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:16 - in their paths are ruin and misery,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:17 - and the way of peace they have not known.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:19 - Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:21 - But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:22 - the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:23 - for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:26 - It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:29 - Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:30 - since God is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:3 - For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:6 - just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:7 - “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
and whose sins are covered;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:9 - Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:11 - He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness would be counted to them as well,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:12 - and to make him the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:14 - For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:16 - That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:17 - as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:19 - He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness[fn] of Sarah's womb.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:21 - fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:22 - That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:24 - but for ours also. It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:25 - who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:2 - Through him we have also obtained access by faith[fn] into this grace in which we stand, and we[fn] rejoice[fn] in hope of the glory of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:3 - Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:7 - For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:11 - More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:12 - Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men[fn] because all sinned—
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:14 - Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:15 - But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:16 - And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:17 - For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:18 - Therefore, as one trespass[fn] led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness[fn] leads to justification and life for all men.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:19 - For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:21 - so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:4 - We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:5 - For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:8 - Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:11 - So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:13 - Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:19 - I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:4 - Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:6 - But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:10 - The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:11 - For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:12 - So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:23 - but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:2 - For the law of the Spirit of life has set you[fn] free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:3 - For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin,[fn] he condemned sin in the flesh,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:6 - For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:11 - If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus[fn] from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:17 - and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:21 - that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:22 - For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:23 - And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:26 - Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:29 - For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:30 - And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:32 - He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:34 - Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:2 - that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:4 - They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:5 - To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:9 - For this is what the promise said: “About this time next year I will return, and Sarah shall have a son.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:10 - And not only so, but also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:15 - For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:17 - For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:22 - What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:23 - in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory—
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:24 - even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:25 - As indeed he says in Hosea,
“Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,'
and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:26 - “And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,'
there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:28 - for the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth fully and without delay.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:29 - And as Isaiah predicted,
“If the Lord of hosts had not left us offspring,
we would have been like Sodom
and become like Gomorrah.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:33 - as it is written,
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense;
and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:1 - Brothers,[fn] my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:3 - For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:8 - But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim);
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:9 - because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:12 - For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:18 - But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for
“Their voice has gone out to all the earth,
and their words to the ends of the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:20 - Then Isaiah is so bold as to say,
“I have been found by those who did not seek me;
I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:21 - But of Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:1 - I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham,[fn] a member of the tribe of Benjamin.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:3 - “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:5 - So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:8 - as it is written,
“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that would not see
and ears that would not hear,
down to this very day.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:9 - And David says,
“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:10 - let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see,
and bend their backs forever.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:12 - Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion[fn] mean!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:14 - in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:16 - If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:17 - But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root[fn] of the olive tree,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:22 - Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:23 - And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:24 - For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:26 - And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,
“The Deliverer will come from Zion,
he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:27 - “and this will be my covenant with them
when I take away their sins.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:29 - For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:30 - For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:31 - so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now[fn] receive mercy.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:33 - Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:35 - “Or who has given a gift to him
that he might be repaid?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:36 - For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:2 - Do not be conformed to this world,[fn] but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:14 - Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:15 - Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:3 - For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:5 - Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:6 - For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:9 - For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:13 - Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:14 - But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:3 - Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:6 - The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:7 - For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:9 - For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:10 - Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:11 - for it is written,
“As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall confess[fn] to God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:14 - I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:17 - For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:18 - Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:19 - So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:1 - We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:3 - For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:4 - For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:5 - May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:6 - that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:7 - Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:9 - and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,
“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
and sing to your name.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:10 - And again it is said,
“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:11 - And again,
“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and let all the peoples extol him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:12 - And again Isaiah says,
“The root of Jesse will come,
even he who arises to rule the Gentiles;
in him will the Gentiles hope.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:13 - May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:14 - I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers,[fn] that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:18 - For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:19 - by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God—so that from Jerusalem and all the way around to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:21 - but as it is written,
“Those who have never been told of him will see,
and those who have never heard will understand.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:22 - This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:24 - I hope to see you in passing as I go to Spain, and to be helped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a while.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:26 - For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:27 - For they were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:28 - When therefore I have completed this and have delivered to them what has been collected,[fn] I will leave for Spain by way of you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:30 - I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:31 - that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:32 - so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:2 - that you may welcome her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints, and help her in whatever she may need from you, for she has been a patron of many and of myself as well.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:3 - Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:4 - who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks but all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks as well.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:5 - Greet also the church in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the first convert[fn] to Christ in Asia.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:7 - Greet Andronicus and Junia,[fn] my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners. They are well known to the apostles,[fn] and they were in Christ before me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:9 - Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my beloved Stachys.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:12 - Greet those workers in the Lord, Tryphaena and Tryphosa. Greet the beloved Persis, who has worked hard in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:13 - Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord; also his mother, who has been a mother to me as well.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:14 - Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers[fn] who are with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:15 - Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:17 - I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:18 - For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites,[fn] and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:21 - Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you; so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:23 - Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus, greet you.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:25 - Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:1 - Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:2 - To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:3 - Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:5 - that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge—
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:8 - who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:10 - I appeal to you, brothers,[fn] by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:14 - I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:16 - (I did baptize also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.)
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:19 - For it is written,
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:22 - For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:24 - but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:25 - For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:27 - But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:28 - God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:30 - And because of him[fn] you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:2 - For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:3 - And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:4 - and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:9 - But, as it is written,
“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
nor the heart of man imagined,
what God has prepared for those who love him”—
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:10 - these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:11 - For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:13 - And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:14 - The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:2 - I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:3 - for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:5 - What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:8 - He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:13 - each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:16 - Do you not know that you[fn] are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:20 - and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:1 - This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:5 - Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then each one will receive his commendation from God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:6 - I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers,[fn] that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:7 - For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:8 - Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! Without us you have become kings! And would that you did reign, so that we might share the rule with you!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:9 - For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:11 - To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:12 - and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:17 - That is why I sent[fn] you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ,[fn] as I teach them everywhere in every church.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:19 - But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk of these arrogant people but their power.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:1 - It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father's wife.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:2 - And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:4 - When you are assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:7 - Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:8 - Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:10 - not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:1 - When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:2 - Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:6 - but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:8 - But you yourselves wrong and defraud—even your own brothers![fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:11 - And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:13 - “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:14 - And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:19 - Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:20 - for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:2 - But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:3 - The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:4 - For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:5 - Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:7 - I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:8 - To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single, as I am.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:11 - (but if she does, she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and the husband should not divorce his wife.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:12 - To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:13 - If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:14 - For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:17 - Only let each person lead the life[fn] that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him. This is my rule in all the churches.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:19 - For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:21 - Were you a bondservant[fn] when called? Do not be concerned about it. (But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.)
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:28 - But if you do marry, you have not sinned, and if a betrothed woman[fn] marries, she has not sinned. Yet those who marry will have worldly troubles, and I would spare you that.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:29 - This is what I mean, brothers: the appointed time has grown very short. From now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:30 - and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no goods,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:31 - and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For the present form of this world is passing away.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:34 - and his interests are divided. And the unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:35 - I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:36 - If anyone thinks that he is not behaving properly toward his betrothed,[fn] if his[fn] passions are strong, and it has to be, let him do as he wishes: let them marry—it is no sin.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:37 - But whoever is firmly established in his heart, being under no necessity but having his desire under control, and has determined this in his heart, to keep her as his betrothed, he will do well.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:38 - So then he who marries his betrothed does well, and he who refrains from marriage will do even better.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:4 - Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “an idol has no real existence,” and that “there is no God but one.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:5 - For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”—
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:6 - yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:7 - However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, through former association with idols, eat food as really offered to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:11 - And so by your knowledge this weak person is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:12 - Thus, sinning against your brothers[fn] and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:4 - Do we not have the right to eat and drink?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:5 - Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife,[fn] as do the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:6 - Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:7 - Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard without eating any of its fruit? Or who tends a flock without getting some of the milk?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:8 - Do I say these things on human authority? Does not the Law say the same?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:10 - Does he not certainly speak for our sake? It was written for our sake, because the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of sharing in the crop.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:14 - In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:20 - To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:27 - But I discipline my body and keep it under control,[fn] lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:1 - For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,[fn] that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:2 - and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:3 - and all ate the same spiritual food,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:4 - and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:7 - Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:8 - We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:9 - We must not put Christ[fn] to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:10 - nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:13 - No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:20 - No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:21 - You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:26 - For “the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:27 - If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:28 - But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience—
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:32 - Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:2 - Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:5 - but every wife[fn] who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:6 - For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:7 - For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:9 - Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:12 - for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:18 - For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part,[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:19 - for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:21 - For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal. One goes hungry, another gets drunk.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:22 - What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:23 - For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:24 - and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for[fn] you. Do this in remembrance of me.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:25 - In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:26 - For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:27 - Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:28 - Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:29 - For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:30 - That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:3 - Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is accursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:5 - and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:6 - and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:11 - All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:12 - For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:13 - For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves[fn] or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:14 - For the body does not consist of one member but of many.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:16 - And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:23 - and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:26 - If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:27 - Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:28 - And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:1 - If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:2 - And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:3 - If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned,[fn] but have not love, I gain nothing.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:9 - For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:12 - For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:3 - On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:8 - And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:9 - So with yourselves, if with your tongue you utter speech that is not intelligible, how will anyone know what is said? For you will be speaking into the air.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:10 - There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:11 - but if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:12 - So with yourselves, since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:15 - What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:19 - Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:21 - In the Law it is written, “By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:23 - If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:25 - the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:27 - If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:28 - But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak to himself and to God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:29 - Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:31 - For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:32 - and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:34 - the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:39 - So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:40 - But all things should be done decently and in order.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:1 - Now I would remind you, brothers,[fn] of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:2 - and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:3 - For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:4 - that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:5 - and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:6 - Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:10 - But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:11 - Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:14 - And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:15 - We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:18 - Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:21 - For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:22 - For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:24 - Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:28 - When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:29 - Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:30 - Why are we in danger every hour?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:32 - What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:34 - Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:37 - And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:38 - But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:40 - There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:41 - There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:42 - So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:44 - It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:45 - Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”;[fn] the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:48 - As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:49 - Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall[fn] also bear the image of the man of heaven.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:50 - I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:52 - in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:53 - For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:54 - When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:1 - Now concerning[fn] the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:6 - and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may help me on my journey, wherever I go.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:9 - for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:10 - When Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, as I am.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:12 - Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was not at all his will[fn] to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:15 - Now I urge you, brothers[fn]—you know that the household[fn] of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints—
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:16 - be subject to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:17 - I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for your absence,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:18 - for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such people.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:19 - The churches of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca, together with the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:1 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God that is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:2 - Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:5 - For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:6 - If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:7 - Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:8 - For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers,[fn] of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:10 - He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:11 - You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:12 - For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity[fn] and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:13 - For we are not writing to you anything other than what you read and understand and I hope you will fully understand—
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:14 - just as you did partially understand us—that on the day of our Lord Jesus you will boast of us as we will boast of you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:16 - I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and to come back to you from Macedonia and have you send me on my way to Judea.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:17 - Was I vacillating when I wanted to do this? Do I make my plans according to the flesh, ready to say “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:18 - As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:19 - For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you, Silvanus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No, but in him it is always Yes.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:20 - For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:21 - And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:22 - and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:2 - For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:3 - And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:4 - For I wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:7 - so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:9 - For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:10 - Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Indeed, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:12 - When I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, even though a door was opened for me in the Lord,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:14 - But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:15 - For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:16 - to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:2 - You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our[fn] hearts, to be known and read by all.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:6 - who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:10 - Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to have no glory at all, because of the glory that surpasses it.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:13 - not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:3 - And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:7 - But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:10 - always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:11 - For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:13 - Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, “I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:14 - knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:16 - So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self[fn] is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:2 - For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:3 - if indeed by putting it on[fn] we may not be found naked.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:4 - For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:5 - He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:6 - So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:8 - Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:9 - So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:11 - Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others. But what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:12 - We are not commending ourselves to you again but giving you cause to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast about outward appearance and not about what is in the heart.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:15 - and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:16 - From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:18 - All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:19 - that is, in Christ God was reconciling[fn] the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:1 - Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:2 - For he says,
“In a favorable time I listened to you,
and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:7 - by truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:8 - through honor and dishonor, through slander and praise. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:9 - as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:10 - as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:13 - In return (I speak as to children) widen your hearts also.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:14 - Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:16 - What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,
“I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:17 - Therefore go out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:18 - and I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:1 - Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body[fn] and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:3 - I do not say this to condemn you, for I said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:7 - and not only by his coming but also by the comfort with which he was comforted by you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:8 - For even if I made you grieve with my letter, I do not regret it—though I did regret it, for I see that that letter grieved you, though only for a while.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:12 - So although I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the one who did the wrong, nor for the sake of the one who suffered the wrong, but in order that your earnestness for us might be revealed to you in the sight of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:14 - For whatever boasts I made to him about you, I was not put to shame. But just as everything we said to you was true, so also our boasting before Titus has proved true.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:15 - And his affection for you is even greater, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:2 - for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:3 - For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:4 - begging us earnestly for the favor[fn] of taking part in the relief of the saints—
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:5 - and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:6 - Accordingly, we urged Titus that as he had started, so he should complete among you this act of grace.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:7 - But as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you[fn]—see that you excel in this act of grace also.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:8 - I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:10 - And in this matter I give my judgment: this benefits you, who a year ago started not only to do this work but also to desire to do it.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:11 - So now finish doing it as well, so that your readiness in desiring it may be matched by your completing it out of what you have.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:14 - your abundance at the present time should supply their need, so that their abundance may supply your need, that there may be fairness.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:15 - As it is written, “Whoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:19 - And not only that, but he has been appointed by the churches to travel with us as we carry out this act of grace that is being ministered by us, for the glory of the Lord himself and to show our good will.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:21 - for we aim at what is honorable not only in the Lord's sight but also in the sight of man.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:23 - As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for your benefit. And as for our brothers, they are messengers[fn] of the churches, the glory of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:24 - So give proof before the churches of your love and of our boasting about you to these men.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:2 - for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the people of Macedonia, saying that Achaia has been ready since last year. And your zeal has stirred up most of them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:4 - Otherwise, if some Macedonians come with me and find that you are not ready, we would be humiliated—to say nothing of you—for being so confident.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:5 - So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to go on ahead to you and arrange in advance for the gift[fn] you have promised, so that it may be ready as a willing gift, not as an exaction.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:6 - The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully[fn] will also reap bountifully.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:10 - He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:12 - For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:13 - By their approval of this service, they[fn] will glorify God because of your submission that comes from your confession of the gospel of Christ, and the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:14 - while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God upon you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:1 - I, Paul, myself entreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold toward you when I am away!—
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:5 - We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:6 - being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:7 - Look at what is before your eyes. If anyone is confident that he is Christ's, let him remind himself that just as he is Christ's, so also are we.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:8 - For even if I boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be ashamed.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:10 - For they say, “His letters are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:11 - Let such a person understand that what we say by letter when absent, we do when present.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:12 - Not that we dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who are commending themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:13 - But we will not boast beyond limits, but will boast only with regard to the area of influence God assigned to us, to reach even to you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:14 - For we are not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach you. For we were the first to come all the way to you with the gospel of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:1 - I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:6 - Even if I am unskilled in speaking, I am not so in knowledge; indeed, in every way we have made this plain to you in all things.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:9 - And when I was with you and was in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my need. So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:12 - And what I am doing I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:14 - And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:15 - So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:27 - in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food,[fn] in cold and exposure.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:29 - Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:31 - The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:33 - but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his hands.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:1 - I must go on boasting. Though there is nothing to be gained by it, I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:3 - And I know that this man was caught up into paradise—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows—
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:4 - and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:7 - So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations,[fn] a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:9 - But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:11 - I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was not at all inferior to these super-apostles, even though I am nothing.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:12 - The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with utmost patience, with signs and wonders and mighty works.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:14 - Here for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden, for I seek not what is yours but you. For children are not obligated to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:15 - I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:18 - I urged Titus to go, and sent the brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not act in the same spirit? Did we not take the same steps?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:21 - I fear that when I come again my God may humble me before you, and I may have to mourn over many of those who sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual immorality, and sensuality that they have practiced.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:1 - This is the third time I am coming to you. Every charge must be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:2 - I warned those who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come again I will not spare them—
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:4 - For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:9 - For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. Your restoration is what we pray for.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:10 - For this reason I write these things while I am away from you, that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:11 - Finally, brothers,[fn] rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another,[fn] agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:14 - The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:1 - Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:2 - and all the brothers[fn] who are with me, To the churches of Galatia:
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:3 - Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:4 - who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:7 - not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:8 - But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:9 - As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:13 - For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:14 - And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:15 - But when he who had set me apart before I was born,[fn] and who called me by his grace,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:16 - was pleased to reveal his Son to[fn] me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:17 - nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:18 - Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:21 - Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:24 - And they glorified God because of me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:1 - Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:2 - I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those who seemed influential) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure I was not running or had not run in vain.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:8 - (for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles),
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:9 - and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:10 - Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:12 - For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:13 - And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:14 - But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:15 - We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners;
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:16 - yet we know that a person is not justified[fn] by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:17 - But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not!
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:20 - I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:4 - Did you suffer[fn] so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:5 - Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith—
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:6 - just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:16 - Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:17 - This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:28 - There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave[fn] nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:29 - And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:2 - but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:3 - In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles[fn] of the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:7 - So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then 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 elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:10 - You observe days and months and seasons and years!
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:14 - and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:18 - It is always good to be made much of for a good purpose, and not only when I am present with you,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:20 - I wish I could be present with you now and change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:22 - For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free woman.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:27 - For it is written,
“Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear;
break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor!
For the children of the desolate one will be more
than those of the one who has a husband.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:29 - But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:30 - But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:1 - For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:12 - I wish those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves!
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:15 - But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:16 - But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:21 - envy,[fn] drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do[fn] such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:24 - And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:25 - If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:1 - Brothers,[fn] if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:2 - Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:4 - But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:7 - Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:16 - And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:1 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful[fn] in Christ Jesus:
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:2 - Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:4 - even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:8 - which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:10 - as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:11 - In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:13 - In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:15 - For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love[fn] toward all the saints,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:17 - that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:18 - having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:19 - and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:20 - that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:21 - far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:22 - And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:1 - And you were dead in the trespasses and sins
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:3 - among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body[fn] and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:5 - even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:6 - and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:8 - For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:12 - remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:14 - For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:16 - and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:17 - And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:19 - So then you are no longer strangers and aliens,[fn] but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:20 - built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:22 - In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by[fn] the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:5 - which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:6 - This mystery is[fn] that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:9 - and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in[fn] God, who created all things,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:10 - so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:12 - in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:15 - from whom every family[fn] in heaven and on earth is named,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:17 - so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:18 - may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:2 - with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:4 - There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:6 - one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:8 - Therefore it says,
“When he ascended on high he led a host of captives,
and he gave gifts to men.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:9 - (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:10 - He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:11 - And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds[fn] and teachers,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:13 - until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood,[fn] to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:14 - so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:16 - from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:17 - Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:21 - assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:24 - and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:26 - Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:30 - And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:31 - Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:32 - Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:2 - And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:3 - But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:4 - Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:5 - For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:9 - (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true),
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:11 - Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:12 - For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:14 - for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,
“Awake, O sleeper,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:18 - And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:19 - addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:20 - giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:23 - For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:24 - Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:25 - Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:27 - so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:29 - For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:31 - “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:32 - This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:33 - However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:2 - “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise),
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:3 - “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:4 - Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:5 - Bondservants,[fn] obey your earthly masters[fn] with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:7 - rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:9 - Masters, do the same to them, and stop your threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master[fn] and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:10 - Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:12 - For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:13 - Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:14 - Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:15 - and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:17 - and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:18 - praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:19 - and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:21 - So that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:22 - I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:23 - Peace be to the brothers,[fn] and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:1 - Paul and Timothy, servants[fn] of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers[fn] and deacons:[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:2 - Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:7 - It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace,[fn] both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:9 - And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:10 - so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:11 - filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:13 - so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard[fn] and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:14 - And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word[fn] without fear.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:15 - Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:18 - What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:19 - for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:20 - as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:21 - For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:22 - If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:23 - I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:25 - Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:27 - Only let your manner of life be worthy[fn] of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:28 - and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:29 - For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:30 - engaged in the same conflict that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:1 - So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:4 - Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:5 - Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:9 - Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:10 - so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:11 - and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:12 - Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:13 - for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:14 - Do all things without grumbling or disputing,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:15 - that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:17 - Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:18 - Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:24 - and I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:25 - I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:26 - for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:27 - Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:29 - So receive him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such men,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:3 - For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God[fn] and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh—
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:4 - though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more:
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:8 - Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:9 - and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith—
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:10 - that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:12 - Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:15 - Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:17 - Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:18 - For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:19 - Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:20 - But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:21 - who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:1 - Therefore, my brothers,[fn] whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:2 - I entreat Euodia and I entreat Syntyche to agree in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:3 - Yes, I ask you also, true companion,[fn] help these women, who have labored[fn] side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:6 - do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:7 - And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:8 - Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:9 - What you have learned[fn] and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:10 - I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:12 - I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:15 - And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:16 - Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:18 - I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:20 - To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:1 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:2 - To the saints and faithful brothers[fn] in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:3 - We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:4 - since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:6 - which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:8 - and has made known to us your love in the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:9 - And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:10 - so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:11 - being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy;
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:13 - He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:16 - For by[fn] him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:17 - And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:18 - And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:20 - and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:21 - And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:22 - he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:23 - if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation[fn] under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:24 - Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:26 - the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:28 - Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:29 - For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:1 - For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:2 - that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:3 - in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:5 - For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:7 - rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:8 - See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits[fn] of the world, and not according to Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:10 - and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:11 - In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:12 - having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:13 - And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:14 - by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:15 - He disarmed the rulers and authorities[fn] and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:18 - Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions,[fn] puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:19 - and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:22 - (referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to human precepts and teachings?
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:23 - These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:3 - For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:4 - When Christ who is your[fn] life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:5 - Put to death therefore what is earthly in you:[fn] sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:7 - In these you too once walked, when you were living in them.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:8 - But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:10 - and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:11 - Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,[fn] free; but Christ is all, and in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:12 - Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:13 - bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:15 - And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:16 - Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:17 - And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:19 - Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:23 - Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:25 - For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:1 - Masters, treat your bondservants[fn] justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:3 - At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison—
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:7 - Tychicus will tell you all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant[fn] in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:8 - I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:9 - and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:10 - Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions—if he comes to you, welcome him),
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:11 - and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:12 - Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:13 - For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:14 - Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does Demas.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:15 - Give my greetings to the brothers[fn] at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:16 - And when this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:17 - And say to Archippus, “See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 1:1 - Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 1:3 - remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 1:5 - because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 1:6 - And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 1:7 - so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 1:8 - For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need not say anything.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 1:9 - For they themselves report concerning us the kind of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 1:10 - and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:2 - But though we had already suffered and been shamefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we had boldness in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in the midst of much conflict.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:8 - So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:9 - For you remember, brothers, our labor and toil: we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:10 - You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:12 - we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:13 - And we also thank God constantly[fn] for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men[fn] but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:14 - For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews,[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:15 - who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all mankind
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:18 - because we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—but Satan hindered us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:19 - For what is our hope or joy or crown of boasting before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you?
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:20 - For you are our glory and joy.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:2 - and we sent Timothy, our brother and God's coworker[fn] in the gospel of Christ, to establish and exhort you in your faith,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:4 - For when we were with you, we kept telling you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction, just as it has come to pass, and just as you know.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:5 - For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:6 - But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love and reported that you always remember us kindly and long to see us, as we long to see you—
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:7 - for this reason, brothers,[fn] in all our distress and affliction we have been comforted about you through your faith.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:10 - as we pray most earnestly night and day that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith?
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:11 - Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:12 - and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:13 - so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:1 - Finally, then, brothers,[fn] we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:4 - that each one of you know how to control his own body[fn] in holiness and honor,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:5 - not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God;
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:6 - that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:8 - Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:10 - for that indeed is what you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:11 - and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:12 - so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:13 - But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:14 - For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:16 - For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:17 - Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:1 - Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers,[fn] you have no need to have anything written to you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:3 - While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:5 - For you are all children[fn] of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:6 - So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:7 - For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:8 - But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:11 - Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:12 - We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:13 - and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:15 - See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:23 - Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:24 - He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:1 - Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:2 - Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:3 - We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers,[fn] as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:4 - Therefore we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions that you are enduring.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:5 - This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering—
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:7 - and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:8 - in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:9 - They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from[fn] the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:10 - when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:11 - To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power,
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:12 - so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:1 - Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers,[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:3 - Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness[fn] is revealed, the son of destruction,[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:4 - who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:6 - And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:8 - And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:9 - The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders,
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:10 - and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:11 - Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false,
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:13 - But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits[fn] to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:15 - So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:16 - Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:17 - comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:1 - Finally, brothers,[fn] pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored,[fn] as happened among you,
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:2 - and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:3 - But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:4 - And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things that we command.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:5 - May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:6 - Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:8 - nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:10 - For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:12 - Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:14 - If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:15 - Do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:1 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:2 - To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:4 - nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship[fn] from God that is by faith.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:5 - The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:9 - understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:10 - the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers,[fn] liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound[fn] doctrine,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:13 - though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:14 - and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:15 - The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:17 - To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.[fn] Amen.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:19 - holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:20 - among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:2 - for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:3 - This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:4 - who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:5 - For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man[fn] Christ Jesus,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:7 - For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:8 - I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:9 - likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:14 - and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:15 - Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 3:7 - Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 3:10 - And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 3:12 - Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 3:13 - For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 3:15 - if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 3:16 - Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness:
He[fn] was manifested in the flesh,
vindicated[fn] by the Spirit,[fn]
seen by angels,
proclaimed among the nations,
believed on in the world,
taken up in glory.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:1 - Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:3 - who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:4 - For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:5 - for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:6 - If you put these things before the brothers,[fn] you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:7 - Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness;
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:8 - for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:9 - The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:10 - For to this end we toil and strive,[fn] because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:11 - Command and teach these things.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:16 - Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:4 - But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show godliness to their own household and to make some return to their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:5 - She who is truly a widow, left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:7 - Command these things as well, so that they may be without reproach.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:8 - But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:13 - Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:16 - If any believing woman has relatives who are widows, let her care for them. Let the church not be burdened, so that it may care for those who are truly widows.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:17 - Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:20 - As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:21 - In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels I charge you to keep these rules without prejudging, doing nothing from partiality.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:23 - (No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.)
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:24 - The sins of some people are conspicuous, going before them to judgment, but the sins of others appear later.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:25 - So also good works are conspicuous, and even those that are not cannot remain hidden.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:1 - Let all who are under a yoke as bondservants[fn] regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be reviled.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:2 - Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brothers; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their good service are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these things.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:3 - If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound[fn] words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:4 - he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:5 - and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:8 - But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:9 - But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:10 - For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:12 - Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:13 - I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before[fn] Pontius Pilate made the good confession,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:15 - which he will display at the proper time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:16 - who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:20 - O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,”
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:2 - To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:3 - I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:5 - I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:7 - for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:9 - who saved us and called us to[fn] a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:10 - and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:11 - for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher,
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:12 - which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:13 - Follow the pattern of the sound[fn] words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:15 - You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:16 - May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains,
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:17 - but when he arrived in Rome he searched for me earnestly and found me—
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:18 - may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day!—and you well know all the service he rendered at Ephesus.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:2 - and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men,[fn] who will be able to teach others also.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:5 - An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:10 - Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:11 - The saying is trustworthy, for:
If we have died with him, we will also live with him;
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:12 - if we endure, we will also reign with him;
if we deny him, he also will deny us;
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:17 - and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:18 - who have swerved from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already happened. They are upsetting the faith of some.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:20 - Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:21 - Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable,[fn] he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:23 - Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:26 - and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:5 - having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:6 - For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions,
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:7 - always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:8 - Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:9 - But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:11 - my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:12 - Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:13 - while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:14 - But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom[fn] you learned it
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:15 - and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:16 - All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:1 - I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:2 - preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:4 - and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:6 - For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:8 - Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:10 - For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia,[fn] Titus to Dalmatia.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:13 - When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:15 - Beware of him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:17 - But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion's mouth.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:18 - The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:19 - Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:21 - Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus sends greetings to you, as do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brothers.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:1 - Paul, a servant[fn] of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the sake of the faith of God's elect and their knowledge of the truth, which accords with godliness,
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:4 - To Titus, my true child in a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:5 - This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you—
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:9 - He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound[fn] doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:10 - For there are many who are insubordinate, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision party.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:14 - not devoting themselves to Jewish myths and the commands of people who turn away from the truth.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:15 - To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:16 - They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 2:12 - training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 2:13 - waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 2:14 - who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 2:15 - Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 3:1 - Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 3:3 - For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 3:4 - But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 3:5 - he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 3:8 - The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 3:9 - But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 3:10 - As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him,
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 3:11 - knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 3:13 - Do your best to speed Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way; see that they lack nothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 3:14 - And let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:1 - Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved fellow worker
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:2 - and Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier, and the church in your house:
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:3 - Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:5 - because I hear of your love and of the faith that you have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:7 - For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:9 - yet for love's sake I prefer to appeal to you—I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner also for Christ Jesus—
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:11 - (Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful to you and to me.)
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:16 - no longer as a bondservant[fn] but more than a bondservant, as a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:19 - I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it—to say nothing of your owing me even your own self.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:21 - Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:22 - At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be graciously given to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:1 - Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:2 - but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:3 - He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:5 - For to which of the angels did God ever say,
“You are my Son,
today I have begotten you”? Or again,
“I will be to him a father,
and he shall be to me a son”?
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:7 - Of the angels he says,
“He makes his angels winds,
and his ministers a flame of fire.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:9 - You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:10 - And,
“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
and the heavens are the work of your hands;
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:11 - they will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:12 - like a robe you will roll them up,
like a garment they will be changed.[fn]
But you are the same,
and your years will have no end.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:2 - For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:4 - while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:7 - You made him for a little while lower than the angels;
you have crowned him with glory and honor,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:9 - But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:10 - For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:11 - For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source.[fn] That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:13 - And again,
“I will put my trust in him.” And again,
“Behold, I and the children God has given me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:14 - Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:15 - and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:17 - Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:1 - Therefore, holy brothers,[fn] you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:2 - who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's[fn] house.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:5 - Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:6 - but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:9 - where your fathers put me to the test
and saw my works for forty years.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:10 - Therefore I was provoked with that generation,
and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart;
they have not known my ways.'
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:19 - So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:2 - For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:5 - And again in this passage he said,
“They shall not enter my rest.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:6 - Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:10 - for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:12 - For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:13 - And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:16 - Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:1 - For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:2 - He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:3 - Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins just as he does for those of the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:4 - And no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, just as Aaron was.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:5 - So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him,
“You are my Son,
today I have begotten you”;
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:6 - as he says also in another place,
“You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:7 - In the days of his flesh, Jesus[fn] offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:9 - And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:11 - About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:12 - For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:14 - But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:1 - Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:2 - and of instruction about washings,[fn] the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:3 - And this we will do if God permits.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:4 - For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:5 - and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:6 - and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:7 - For land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:8 - But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its end is to be burned.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:9 - Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things—things that belong to salvation.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:10 - For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:12 - so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:14 - saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:15 - And thus Abraham,[fn] having patiently waited, obtained the promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:16 - For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:19 - We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:1 - For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:2 - and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:4 - See how great this man was to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils!
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:5 - And those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers,[fn] though these also are descended from Abraham.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:6 - But this man who does not have his descent from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:8 - In the one case tithes are received by mortal men, but in the other case, by one of whom it is testified that he lives.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:9 - One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:11 - Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron?
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:12 - For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:15 - This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:18 - For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:21 - but this one was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him:
“The Lord has sworn
and will not change his mind,
‘You are a priest forever.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:23 - The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:25 - Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost[fn] those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:26 - For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:2 - a minister in the holy places, in the true tent[fn] that the Lord set up, not man.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:3 - For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:5 - They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, “See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:6 - But as it is, Christ[fn] has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:8 - For he finds fault with them when he says:[fn]
“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:10 - For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
and write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:11 - And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor
and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,'
for they shall all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:12 - For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
and I will remember their sins no more.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:13 - In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:1 - Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly place of holiness.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:2 - For a tent[fn] was prepared, the first section, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread of the Presence.[fn] It is called the Holy Place.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:4 - having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden urn holding the manna, and Aaron's staff that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:7 - but into the second only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:9 - (which is symbolic for the present age).[fn] According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:10 - but deal only with food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:11 - But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come,[fn] then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation)
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:12 - he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:13 - For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify[fn] for the purification of the flesh,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:19 - For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:21 - And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:22 - Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:27 - And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:4 - For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:5 - Consequently, when Christ[fn] came into the world, he said,
“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
but a body have you prepared for me;
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:6 - in burnt offerings and sin offerings
you have taken no pleasure.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:8 - When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law),
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:11 - And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:15 - And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:16 - “This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws on their hearts,
and write them on their minds,”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:17 - then he adds,
“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:20 - by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:21 - and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:22 - let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:24 - And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:25 - not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:27 - but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:29 - How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace?
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:30 - For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:33 - sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:34 - For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:37 - For,
“Yet a little while,
and the coming one will come and will not delay;
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:38 - but my righteous one shall live by faith,
and if he shrinks back,
my soul has no pleasure in him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:4 - By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:5 - By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:6 - And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:7 - By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:8 - By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:9 - By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:10 - For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:11 - By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:12 - Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:13 - These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:15 - If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:17 - By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:19 - He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:20 - By faith Isaac invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:21 - By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bowing in worship over the head of his staff.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:22 - By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave directions concerning his bones.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:23 - By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:28 - By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:32 - And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets—
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:36 - Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:38 - of whom the world was not worthy—wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:1 - Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:2 - looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:5 - And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?
“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
nor be weary when reproved by him.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:8 - If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:9 - Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:12 - Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:13 - and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:14 - Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:15 - See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:17 - For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:18 - For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:19 - and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:21 - Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I tremble with fear.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:22 - But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:23 - and to the assembly[fn] of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:24 - and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:26 - At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:28 - Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:29 - for our God is a consuming fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:3 - Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:4 - Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:6 - So we can confidently say,
“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear;
what can man do to me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:8 - Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:9 - Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:12 - So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:16 - Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:17 - Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:22 - I appeal to you, brothers,[fn] bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:24 - Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those who come from Italy send you greetings.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:1 - James, a servant[fn] of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:4 - And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:5 - If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:6 - But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:11 - For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:14 - But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:17 - Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:21 - Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:22 - But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:23 - For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:24 - For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:25 - But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:27 - Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:2 - For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in,
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:3 - and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “You sit here in a good place,” while you say to the poor man, “You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at my feet,”
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:4 - have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:5 - Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:6 - But you have dishonored the poor man. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you, and the ones who drag you into court?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:12 - So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:13 - For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:15 - If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food,
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:16 - and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good[fn] is that?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:17 - So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:19 - You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:22 - You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works;
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:23 - and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:24 - You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:25 - And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:26 - For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:2 - For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:3 - If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:4 - Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:5 - So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:6 - And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life,[fn] and set on fire by hell.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:7 - For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind,
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:9 - With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:10 - From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers,[fn] these things ought not to be so.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:11 - Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:12 - Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:13 - Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:14 - But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:16 - For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:17 - But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:1 - What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions[fn] are at war within you?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:2 - You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:3 - You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:4 - You adulterous people![fn] Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:7 - Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:8 - Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:9 - Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:10 - Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:11 - Do not speak evil against one another, brothers.[fn] The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:12 - There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:13 - Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”—
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:15 - Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:17 - So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:2 - Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:3 - Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:4 - Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:5 - You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:7 - Be patient, therefore, brothers,[fn] until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:8 - You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:10 - As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:11 - Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:12 - But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:14 - Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:15 - And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:16 - Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:17 - Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:18 - Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:19 - My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back,
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:20 - let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:1 - Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:2 - according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:4 - to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:7 - so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:8 - Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:10 - Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:11 - inquiring what person or time[fn] the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:15 - but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:19 - but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:21 - who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:23 - since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:24 - for
“All flesh is like grass
and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
and the flower falls,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:1 - So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:5 - you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:6 - For it stands in Scripture:
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:8 - and
“A stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:11 - Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:16 - Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants[fn] of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:18 - Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:20 - For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:21 - For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:25 - For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:1 - Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:3 - Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:4 - but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:5 - For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:6 - as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:7 - Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you[fn] of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:10 - For
“Whoever desires to love life
and see good days,
let him keep his tongue from evil
and his lips from speaking deceit;
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:11 - let him turn away from evil and do good;
let him seek peace and pursue it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:12 - For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:14 - But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:18 - For Christ also suffered[fn] once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:19 - in which[fn] he went and proclaimed[fn] to the spirits in prison,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:21 - Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:22 - who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:1 - Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh,[fn] arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:3 - For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:5 - but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:6 - For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:7 - The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:11 - whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:13 - But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:14 - If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory[fn] and of God rests upon you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:18 - And
“If the righteous is scarcely saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:19 - Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:1 - So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed:
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:4 - And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:11 - To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:12 - By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:13 - She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does Mark, my son.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:1 - Simeon[fn] Peter, a servant[fn] and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:2 - May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:3 - His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to[fn] his own glory and excellence,[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:4 - by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:5 - For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue,[fn] and virtue with knowledge,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:8 - For if these qualities[fn] are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:10 - Therefore, brothers,[fn] be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:11 - For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:12 - Therefore I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:14 - since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:15 - And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:16 - For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:17 - For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son,[fn] with whom I am well pleased,”
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:18 - we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:19 - And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:1 - But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:2 - And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:3 - And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:5 - if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:6 - if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:7 - and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:8 - (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard);
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:10 - and especially those who indulge[fn] in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:11 - whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:12 - But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:13 - suffering wrong as the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions,[fn] while they feast with you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:14 - They have eyes full of adultery,[fn] insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:19 - They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves[fn] of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:20 - For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:2 - that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:4 - They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:5 - For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:7 - But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:8 - But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:10 - But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies[fn] will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:11 - Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:12 - waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:13 - But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:14 - Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:15 - And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:16 - as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:18 - But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:1 - That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life—
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:2 - the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us—
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:3 - that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:4 - And we are writing these things so that our[fn] joy may be complete.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:5 - This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:6 - If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:7 - But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:8 - If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:10 - If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:1 - My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:2 - He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:4 - Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him,
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:6 - whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:8 - At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because[fn] the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:9 - Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:10 - Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him[fn] there is no cause for stumbling.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:11 - But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:14 - I write to you, fathers,
because you know him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
because you are strong,
and the word of God abides in you,
and you have overcome the evil one.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:16 - For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life[fn]—is not from the Father but is from the world.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:17 - And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:18 - Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:20 - But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:21 - I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:22 - Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:24 - Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:25 - And this is the promise that he made to us[fn]—eternal life.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:27 - But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:28 - And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:2 - Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears[fn] we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:3 - And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:4 - Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:5 - You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:9 - No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's[fn] seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:10 - By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:12 - We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:15 - Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:16 - By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:17 - But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:18 - Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:19 - By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him;
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:20 - for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:22 - and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:23 - And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:24 - Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God,[fn] and God[fn] in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:3 - and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:4 - Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:5 - They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:6 - We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:7 - Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:10 - In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:11 - Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:12 - No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:13 - By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:14 - And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:15 - Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:16 - So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:17 - By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:20 - If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot[fn] love God whom he has not seen.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:21 - And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:1 - Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:2 - By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:3 - For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:4 - For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:6 - This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:7 - For there are three that testify:
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:8 - the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:11 - And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:13 - I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:14 - And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:15 - And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:16 - If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God[fn] will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:17 - All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:18 - We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:19 - We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:20 - And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:1 - The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all who know the truth,
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:2 - because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever:
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:3 - Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father's Son, in truth and love.
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:5 - And now I ask you, dear lady—not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:6 - And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it.
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:7 - For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:9 - Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:10 - If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting,
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:12 - Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
Unchecked Copy Box3Jo 1:2 - Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.
Unchecked Copy Box3Jo 1:3 - For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers[fn] came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box3Jo 1:5 - Beloved, it is a faithful thing you do in all your efforts for these brothers, strangers as they are,
Unchecked Copy Box3Jo 1:10 - So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who want to and puts them out of the church.
Unchecked Copy Box3Jo 1:12 - Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself. We also add our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.
Unchecked Copy Box3Jo 1:13 - I had much to write to you, but I would rather not write with pen and ink.
Unchecked Copy Box3Jo 1:14 - I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face.
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:1 - Jude, a servant[fn] of Jesus Christ and brother of James, To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for[fn] Jesus Christ:
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:2 - May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:4 - For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:7 - just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire,[fn] serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:8 - Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones.
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:11 - Woe to them! For they walked in the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam's error and perished in Korah's rebellion.
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:14 - It was also about these that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones,
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:15 - to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:16 - These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage.
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:22 - And have mercy on those who doubt;
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:23 - save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment[fn] stained by the flesh.
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:24 - Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy,
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:25 - to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time[fn] and now and forever. Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:1 - The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants[fn] the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:2 - who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:3 - Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:4 - John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:5 - and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:6 - and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:7 - Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail[fn] on account of him. Even so. Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:8 - “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:9 - I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:10 - I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:11 - saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:12 - Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:13 - and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:14 - The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:15 - his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:16 - In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:17 - When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:18 - and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:19 - Write therefore the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:20 - As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:2 - “‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:3 - I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:5 - Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:8 - “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words of the first and the last, who died and came to life.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:9 - “‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander[fn] of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:10 - Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:13 - “‘I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith[fn] even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:14 - But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:15 - So also you have some who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:16 - Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:17 - He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.'
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:18 - “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘The words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:19 - “‘I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:20 - But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:21 - I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:22 - Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:23 - and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:24 - But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay on you any other burden.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:26 - The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:27 - and he will rule[fn] them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:28 - And I will give him the morning star.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:1 - “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. “‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:2 - Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:3 - Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:4 - Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:5 - The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:7 - “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:8 - “‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:9 - Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:12 - The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:14 - “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:16 - So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:17 - For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:18 - I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:19 - Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:20 - Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:21 - The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 4:1 - After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 4:2 - At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 4:3 - And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 4:4 - Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their heads.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 4:5 - From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings[fn] and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 4:6 - and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind:
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 4:7 - the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 4:8 - And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say,
“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
who was and is and is to come!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 4:9 - And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 4:10 - the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 4:11 - “Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they existed and were created.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:1 - Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:2 - And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:3 - And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:4 - and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:5 - And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:6 - And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:7 - And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:8 - And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:9 - And they sang a new song, saying,
“Worthy are you to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:10 - and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God,
and they shall reign on the earth.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:11 - Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:12 - saying with a loud voice,
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:13 - And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:14 - And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:1 - Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:2 - And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:3 - When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:4 - And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:5 - When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:6 - And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, “A quart[fn] of wheat for a denarius,[fn] and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:7 - When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:8 - And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:9 - When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:10 - They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:11 - Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers[fn] should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:12 - When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:13 - and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:14 - The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:15 - Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave[fn] and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:16 - calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:17 - for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:2 - Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:4 - And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:9 - After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:10 - and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:11 - And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:12 - saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:13 - Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:14 - I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:15 - “Therefore they are before the throne of God,
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:17 - For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of living water,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 8:2 - Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 8:3 - And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 8:4 - and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 8:5 - Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings,[fn] flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 8:7 - The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 8:8 - The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 8:9 - A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 8:10 - The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 8:11 - The name of the star is Wormwood.[fn] A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 8:12 - The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 8:13 - Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:1 - And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:2 - He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:3 - Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:4 - They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:5 - They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:6 - And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:7 - In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:8 - their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth;
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:9 - they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:10 - They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people for five months is in their tails.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:11 - They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:13 - Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:15 - So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:16 - The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:17 - And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire[fn] and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:18 - By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:19 - For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:20 - The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:21 - nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 10:1 - Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 10:2 - He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 10:3 - and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring. When he called out, the seven thunders sounded.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 10:4 - And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 10:5 - And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 10:6 - and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 10:7 - but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 10:8 - Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go, take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 10:9 - So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, “Take and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 10:10 - And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 10:11 - And I was told, “You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:1 - Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, “Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:2 - but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:3 - And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:4 - These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:5 - And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, this is how he is doomed to be killed.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:6 - They have the power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:7 - And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that rises from the bottomless pit[fn] will make war on them and conquer them and kill them,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:8 - and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically[fn] is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:9 - For three and a half days some from the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:10 - and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:11 - But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:12 - Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:13 - And at that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:15 - Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:16 - And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:17 - saying,
“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
who is and who was,
for you have taken your great power
and begun to reign.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:18 - The nations raged,
but your wrath came,
and the time for the dead to be judged,
and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints,
and those who fear your name,
both small and great,
and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:19 - Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings,[fn] peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:1 - And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:2 - She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:3 - And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:4 - His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:5 - She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule[fn] all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:6 - and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for 1,260 days.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:7 - Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:8 - but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:9 - And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:10 - And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers[fn] has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:11 - And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:12 - Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:14 - But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:15 - The serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:16 - But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:17 - Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he stood[fn] on the sand of the sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:1 - And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:2 - And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:3 - One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:4 - And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:5 - And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:6 - It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling,[fn] that is, those who dwell in heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:7 - Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them.[fn] And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:8 - and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:10 - If anyone is to be taken captive,
to captivity he goes;
if anyone is to be slain with the sword,
with the sword must he be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:11 - Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:12 - It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence,[fn] and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:13 - It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:14 - and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of[fn] the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:15 - And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:16 - Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave,[fn] to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:17 - so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:18 - This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:1 - Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:2 - And I heard a voice from heaven like the roar of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder. The voice I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:3 - and they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:4 - It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. It is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:5 - and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are blameless.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:6 - Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:7 - And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:9 - And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:10 - he also will drink the wine of God's wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:11 - And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:12 - Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:14 - Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:15 - And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:16 - So he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth, and the earth was reaped.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:17 - Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:18 - And another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Put in your sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:19 - So the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape harvest of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:20 - And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress, as high as a horse's bridle, for 1,600 stadia.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 15:1 - Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 15:2 - And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 15:3 - And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,
“Great and amazing are your deeds,
O Lord God the Almighty!
Just and true are your ways,
O King of the nations![fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 15:4 - Who will not fear, O Lord,
and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 15:5 - After this I looked, and the sanctuary of the tent[fn] of witness in heaven was opened,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 15:6 - and out of the sanctuary came the seven angels with the seven plagues, clothed in pure, bright linen, with golden sashes around their chests.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 15:7 - And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 15:8 - and the sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:1 - Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:2 - So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful sores came upon the people who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:3 - The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing died that was in the sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:4 - The third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:5 - And I heard the angel in charge of the waters[fn] say,
“Just are you, O Holy One, who is and who was,
for you brought these judgments.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:6 - For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
and you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:7 - And I heard the altar saying,
“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,
true and just are your judgments!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:8 - The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:9 - They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed[fn] the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:10 - The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:11 - and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores. They did not repent of their deeds.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:12 - The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:13 - And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:14 - For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:15 - (“Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”)
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:16 - And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:17 - The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:18 - And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings,[fn] peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:19 - The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:20 - And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:21 - And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds[fn] each, fell from heaven on people; and they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:1 - Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:2 - with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:3 - And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:4 - The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:5 - And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth's abominations.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:6 - And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.[fn] When I saw her, I marveled greatly.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:7 - But the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:8 - The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise from the bottomless pit[fn] and go to destruction. And the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because it was and is not and is to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:10 - they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:11 - As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:12 - And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:13 - These are of one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:14 - They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:15 - And the angel[fn] said to me, “The waters that you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:16 - And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute. They will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:17 - for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and handing over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:18 - And the woman that you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:1 - After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:2 - And he called out with a mighty voice,
“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!
She has become a dwelling place for demons,
a haunt for every unclean spirit,
a haunt for every unclean bird,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:3 - For all nations have drunk[fn]
the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality,
and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her,
and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:4 - Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,
“Come out of her, my people,
lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues;
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:5 - for her sins are heaped high as heaven,
and God has remembered her iniquities.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:6 - Pay her back as she herself has paid back others,
and repay her double for her deeds;
mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:7 - As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
and mourning I shall never see.'
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:8 - For this reason her plagues will come in a single day,
death and mourning and famine,
and she will be burned up with fire;
for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:9 - And the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:11 - And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:12 - cargo of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of scented wood, all kinds of articles of ivory, all kinds of articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:13 - cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:14 - “The fruit for which your soul longed
has gone from you,
and all your delicacies and your splendors
are lost to you,
never to be found again!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:15 - The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:16 - “Alas, alas, for the great city
that was clothed in fine linen,
in purple and scarlet,
adorned with gold,
with jewels, and with pearls!
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:17 - For in a single hour all this wealth has been laid waste.” And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:18 - and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning,
“What city was like the great city?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:19 - And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out,
“Alas, alas, for the great city
where all who had ships at sea
grew rich by her wealth!
For in a single hour she has been laid waste.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:20 - Rejoice over her, O heaven,
and you saints and apostles and prophets,
for God has given judgment for you against her!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:21 - Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,
“So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence,
and will be found no more;
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:22 - and the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters,
will be heard in you no more,
and a craftsman of any craft
will be found in you no more,
and the sound of the mill
will be heard in you no more,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:23 - and the light of a lamp
will shine in you no more,
and the voice of bridegroom and bride
will be heard in you no more,
for your merchants were the great ones of the earth,
and all nations were deceived by your sorcery.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:24 - And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints,
and of all who have been slain on earth.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:1 - After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out,
“Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:2 - for his judgments are true and just;
for he has judged the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her immorality,
and has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:3 - Once more they cried out,
“Hallelujah!
The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:4 - And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:5 - And from the throne came a voice saying,
“Praise our God,
all you his servants,
you who fear him,
small and great.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:6 - Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,
“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
the Almighty reigns.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:7 - Let us rejoice and exult
and give him the glory,
for the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and his Bride has made herself ready;
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:8 - it was granted her to clothe herself
with fine linen, bright and pure”— for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:9 - And the angel said[fn] to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:10 - Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:11 - Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:12 - His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:13 - He is clothed in a robe dipped in[fn] blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:14 - And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:15 - From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule[fn] them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:16 - On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:17 - Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come, gather for the great supper of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:18 - to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave,[fn] both small and great.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:19 - And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:20 - And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence[fn] had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:21 - And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:1 - Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit[fn] and a great chain.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:2 - And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:3 - and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:4 - Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:6 - Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:8 - and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:9 - And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven[fn] and consumed them,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:10 - and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:11 - Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:12 - And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:13 - And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:14 - Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:15 - And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:1 - Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:2 - And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:3 - And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place[fn] of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people,[fn] and God himself will be with them as their God.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:4 - He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:5 - And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:6 - And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:7 - The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:8 - But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:9 - Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:10 - And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:11 - having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:12 - It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed—
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:14 - And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:15 - And the one who spoke with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:16 - The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia.[fn] Its length and width and height are equal.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:17 - He also measured its wall, 144 cubits[fn] by human measurement, which is also an angel's measurement.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:18 - The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:19 - The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:21 - And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:22 - And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:23 - And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:24 - By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:25 - and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:26 - They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:27 - But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
