Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:34 - “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:41 - “Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:1 - When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:7 - While he was eating,[fn] a woman came in with a beautiful alabaster jar of expensive perfume and poured it over his head.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:24 - For the Son of Man must die, as the Scriptures declared long ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It would be far better for that man if he had never been born!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:39 - He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:47 - And even as Jesus said this, Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived with a crowd of men armed with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the leading priests and elders of the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:51 - But one of the men with Jesus pulled out his sword and struck the high priest's slave, slashing off his ear.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:65 - Then the high priest tore his clothing to show his horror and said, “Blasphemy! Why do we need other witnesses? You have all heard his blasphemy.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:67 - Then they began to spit in Jesus' face and beat him with their fists. And some slapped him,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:19 - Just then, as Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Leave that innocent man alone. I suffered through a terrible nightmare about him last night.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:25 - And all the people yelled back, “We will take responsibility for his death—we and our children!”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:29 - They wove thorn branches into a crown and put it on his head, and they placed a reed stick in his right hand as a scepter. Then they knelt before him in mockery and taunted, “Hail! King of the Jews!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:30 - And they spit on him and grabbed the stick and struck him on the head with it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:31 - When they were finally tired of mocking him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be crucified.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:32 - Along the way, they came across a man named Simon, who was from Cyrene,[fn] and the soldiers forced him to carry Jesus' cross.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:35 - After they had nailed him to the cross, the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:37 - A sign was fastened above Jesus' head, announcing the charge against him. It read: “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:53 - They left the cemetery after Jesus' resurrection, went into the holy city of Jerusalem, and appeared to many people.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:54 - The Roman officer[fn] and the other soldiers at the crucifixion were terrified by the earthquake and all that had happened. They said, “This man truly was the Son of God!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:60 - He placed it in his own new tomb, which had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance and left.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:64 - So we request that you seal the tomb until the third day. This will prevent his disciples from coming and stealing his body and then telling everyone he was raised from the dead! If that happens, we'll be worse off than we were at first.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:2 - Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:3 - His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:4 - The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:7 - And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:8 - The women ran quickly from the tomb. They were very frightened but also filled with great joy, and they rushed to give the disciples the angel's message.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:9 - And as they went, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they ran to him, grasped his feet, and worshiped him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:13 - They told the soldiers, “You must say, ‘Jesus' disciples came during the night while we were sleeping, and they stole his body.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:3 - He is a voice shouting in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the LORD's coming!
Clear the road for him!'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:5 - All of Judea, including all the people of Jerusalem, went out to see and hear John. And when they confessed their sins, he baptized them in the Jordan River.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:6 - His clothes were woven from coarse camel hair, and he wore a leather belt around his waist. For food he ate locusts and wild honey.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:7 - John announced: “Someone is coming soon who is greater than I am—so much greater that I'm not even worthy to stoop down like a slave and untie the straps of his sandals.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:19 - A little farther up the shore Jesus saw Zebedee's sons, James and John, in a boat repairing their nets.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:20 - He called them at once, and they also followed him, leaving their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired men.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:22 - The people were amazed at his teaching, for he taught with real authority—quite unlike the teachers of religious law.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:25 - Jesus cut him short. “Be quiet! Come out of the man,” he ordered.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:26 - At that, the evil spirit screamed, threw the man into a convulsion, and then came out of him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:28 - The news about Jesus spread quickly throughout the entire region of Galilee.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:36 - Later Simon and the others went out to find him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:41 - Moved with compassion,[fn] Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:42 - Instantly the leprosy disappeared, and the man was healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:8 - Jesus knew immediately what they were thinking, so he asked them, “Why do you question this in your hearts?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:15 - Later, Levi invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. (There were many people of this kind among Jesus' followers.)
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:16 - But when the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees[fn] saw him eating with tax collectors and other sinners, they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with such scum?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:23 - One Sabbath day as Jesus was walking through some grainfields, his disciples began breaking off heads of grain to eat.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:25 - Jesus said to them, “Haven't you ever read in the Scriptures what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:2 - Since it was the Sabbath, Jesus' enemies watched him closely. If he healed the man's hand, they planned to accuse him of working on the Sabbath.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:5 - He looked around at them angrily and was deeply saddened by their hard hearts. Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” So the man held out his hand, and it was restored!
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:6 - At once the Pharisees went away and met with the supporters of Herod to plot how to kill Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:7 - Jesus went out to the lake with his disciples, and a large crowd followed him. They came from all over Galilee, Judea,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:9 - Jesus instructed his disciples to have a boat ready so the crowd would not crush him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:10 - He had healed many people that day, so all the sick people eagerly pushed forward to touch him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:14 - Then he appointed twelve of them and called them his apostles.[fn] They were to accompany him, and he would send them out to preach,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:21 - When his family heard what was happening, they tried to take him away. “He's out of his mind,” they said.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:27 - Let me illustrate this further. Who is powerful enough to enter the house of a strong man like Satan and plunder his goods? Only someone even stronger—someone who could tie him up and then plunder his house.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:31 - Then Jesus' mother and brothers came to see him. They stood outside and sent word for him to come out and talk with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:2 - He taught them by telling many stories in the form of parables, such as this one:
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:25 - To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:36 - So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed).
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:2 - When Jesus climbed out of the boat, a man possessed by an evil[fn] spirit came out from a cemetery to meet him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:4 - Whenever he was put into chains and shackles—as he often was—he snapped the chains from his wrists and smashed the shackles. No one was strong enough to subdue him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:18 - As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon possessed begged to go with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:22 - Then a leader of the local synagogue, whose name was Jairus, arrived. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:24 - Jesus went with him, and all the people followed, crowding around him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:27 - She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd and touched his robe.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:28 - For she thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:30 - Jesus realized at once that healing power had gone out from him, so he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my robe?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:31 - His disciples said to him, “Look at this crowd pressing around you. How can you ask, ‘Who touched me?'”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:35 - While he was still speaking to her, messengers arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. They told him, “Your daughter is dead. There's no use troubling the Teacher now.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:37 - Then Jesus stopped the crowd and wouldn't let anyone go with him except Peter, James, and John (the brother of James).
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:40 - The crowd laughed at him. But he made them all leave, and he took the girl's father and mother and his three disciples into the room where the girl was lying.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:1 - Jesus left that part of the country and returned with his disciples to Nazareth, his hometown.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:2 - The next Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. They asked, “Where did he get all this wisdom and the power to perform such miracles?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:3 - Then they scoffed, “He's just a carpenter, the son of Mary[fn] and the brother of James, Joseph,[fn] Judas, and Simon. And his sisters live right here among us.” They were deeply offended and refused to believe in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:4 - Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:14 - Herod Antipas, the king, soon heard about Jesus, because everyone was talking about him. Some were saying,[fn] “This must be John the Baptist raised from the dead. That is why he can do such miracles.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:17 - For Herod had sent soldiers to arrest and imprison John as a favor to Herodias. She had been his brother Philip's wife, but Herod had married her.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:20 - for Herod respected John; and knowing that he was a good and holy man, he protected him. Herod was greatly disturbed whenever he talked with John, but even so, he liked to listen to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:21 - Herodias's chance finally came on Herod's birthday. He gave a party for his high government officials, army officers, and the leading citizens of Galilee.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:22 - Then his daughter, also named Herodias,[fn] came in and performed a dance that greatly pleased Herod and his guests. “Ask me for anything you like,” the king said to the girl, “and I will give it to you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:27 - So he immediately sent an executioner to the prison to cut off John's head and bring it to him. The soldier beheaded John in the prison,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:28 - brought his head on a tray, and gave it to the girl, who took it to her mother.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:29 - When John's disciples heard what had happened, they came to get his body and buried it in a tomb.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:35 - Late in the afternoon his disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it's already getting late.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:41 - Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread to the disciples so they could distribute it to the people. He also divided the fish for everyone to share.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:45 - Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and head across the lake to Bethsaida, while he sent the people home.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:56 - Wherever he went—in villages, cities, or the countryside—they brought the sick out to the marketplaces. They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:2 - They noticed that some of his disciples failed to follow the Jewish ritual of hand washing before eating.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:17 - Then Jesus went into a house to get away from the crowd, and his disciples asked him what he meant by the parable he had just used.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:19 - Food doesn't go into your heart, but only passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer.” (By saying this, he declared that every kind of food is acceptable in God's eyes.)
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:25 - Right away a woman who had heard about him came and fell at his feet. Her little girl was possessed by an evil[fn] spirit,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:33 - Jesus led him away from the crowd so they could be alone. He put his fingers into the man's ears. Then, spitting on his own fingers, he touched the man's tongue.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:35 - Instantly the man could hear perfectly, and his tongue was freed so he could speak plainly!
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:4 - His disciples replied, “How are we supposed to find enough food to feed them out here in the wilderness?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:6 - So Jesus told all the people to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, thanked God for them, and broke them into pieces. He gave them to his disciples, who distributed the bread to the crowd.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:10 - Immediately after this, he got into a boat with his disciples and crossed over to the region of Dalmanutha.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:11 - When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had arrived, they came and started to argue with him. Testing him, they demanded that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:12 - When he heard this, he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why do these people keep demanding a miraculous sign? I tell you the truth, I will not give this generation any such sign.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:22 - When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and they begged him to touch the man and heal him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:23 - Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then, spitting on the man's eyes, he laid his hands on him and asked, “Can you see anything now?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:25 - Then Jesus placed his hands on the man's eyes again, and his eyes were opened. His sight was completely restored, and he could see everything clearly.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:26 - Jesus sent him away, saying, “Don't go back into the village on your way home.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:27 - Jesus and his disciples left Galilee and went up to the villages near Caesarea Philippi. As they were walking along, he asked them, “Who do people say I am?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:30 - But Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:33 - Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples, then reprimanded Peter. “Get away from me, Satan!” he said. “You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God's.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:34 - Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:35 - If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:36 - And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:37 - Is anything worth more than your soul?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:38 - If anyone is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:3 - and his clothes became dazzling white, far whiter than any earthly bleach could ever make them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:7 - Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son. Listen to him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:21 - “How long has this been happening?” Jesus asked the boy's father.
He replied, “Since he was a little boy.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:25 - When Jesus saw that the crowd of onlookers was growing, he rebuked the evil[fn] spirit. “Listen, you spirit that makes this boy unable to hear and speak,” he said. “I command you to come out of this child and never enter him again!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:27 - But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:28 - Afterward, when Jesus was alone in the house with his disciples, they asked him, “Why couldn't we cast out that evil spirit?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:31 - for he wanted to spend more time with his disciples and teach them. He said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of his enemies. He will be killed, but three days later he will rise from the dead.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:41 - If anyone gives you even a cup of water because you belong to the Messiah, I tell you the truth, that person will surely be rewarded.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:42 - “But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone hung around your neck.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:7 - ‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:11 - He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:17 - As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:23 - Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:24 - This amazed them. But Jesus said again, “Dear children, it is very hard[fn] to enter the Kingdom of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:45 - For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:46 - Then they reached Jericho, and as Jesus and his disciples left town, a large crowd followed him. A blind beggar named Bartimaeus (son of Timaeus) was sitting beside the road.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:50 - Bartimaeus threw aside his coat, jumped up, and came to Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:1 - As Jesus and his disciples approached Jerusalem, they came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two of them on ahead.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:3 - If anyone asks, ‘What are you doing?' just say, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it soon.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:14 - Then Jesus said to the tree, “May no one ever eat your fruit again!” And the disciples heard him say it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:18 - When the leading priests and teachers of religious law heard what Jesus had done, they began planning how to kill him. But they were afraid of him because the people were so amazed at his teaching.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:23 - I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:27 - Again they entered Jerusalem. As Jesus was walking through the Temple area, the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders came up to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:19 - “Teacher, Moses gave us a law that if a man dies, leaving a wife without children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will carry on the brother's name.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:32 - The teacher of religious law replied, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth by saying that there is only one God and no other.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:37 - Since David himself called the Messiah ‘my Lord,' how can the Messiah be his son?” The large crowd listened to him with great delight.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:38 - Jesus also taught: “Beware of these teachers of religious law! For they like to parade around in flowing robes and receive respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:43 - Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has given more than all the others who are making contributions.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:1 - As Jesus was leaving the Temple that day, one of his disciples said, “Teacher, look at these magnificent buildings! Look at the impressive stones in the walls.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:3 - Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives across the valley from the Temple. Peter, James, John, and Andrew came to him privately and asked him,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:15 - A person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:16 - A person out in the field must not return even to get a coat.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:27 - And he will send out his angels to gather his chosen ones from all over the world[fn]—from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:34 - “The coming of the Son of Man can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip. When he left home, he gave each of his slaves instructions about the work they were to do, and he told the gatekeeper to watch for his return.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:3 - Meanwhile, Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon, a man who had previously had leprosy. While he was eating,[fn] a woman came in with a beautiful alabaster jar of expensive perfume made from essence of nard. She broke open the jar and poured the perfume over his head.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:12 - On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus' disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go to prepare the Passover meal for you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:13 - So Jesus sent two of them into Jerusalem with these instructions: “As you go into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:21 - For the Son of Man[fn] must die, as the Scriptures declared long ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It would be far better for that man if he had never been born!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:32 - They went to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and Jesus said, “Sit here while I go and pray.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:33 - He took Peter, James, and John with him, and he became deeply troubled and distressed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:35 - He went on a little farther and fell to the ground. He prayed that, if it were possible, the awful hour awaiting him might pass him by.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:43 - And immediately, even as Jesus said this, Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived with a crowd of men armed with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:47 - But one of the men with Jesus pulled out his sword and struck the high priest's slave, slashing off his ear.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:56 - Many false witnesses spoke against him, but they contradicted each other.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:57 - Finally, some men stood up and gave this false testimony:
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:58 - “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this Temple made with human hands, and in three days I will build another, made without human hands.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:63 - Then the high priest tore his clothing to show his horror and said, “Why do we need other witnesses?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:65 - Then some of them began to spit at him, and they blindfolded him and beat him with their fists. “Prophesy to us,” they jeered. And the guards slapped him as they took him away.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:3 - Then the leading priests kept accusing him of many crimes,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:19 - And they struck him on the head with a reed stick, spit on him, and dropped to their knees in mock worship.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:20 - When they were finally tired of mocking him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be crucified.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:21 - A passerby named Simon, who was from Cyrene,[fn] was coming in from the countryside just then, and the soldiers forced him to carry Jesus' cross. (Simon was the father of Alexander and Rufus.)
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:24 - Then the soldiers nailed him to the cross. They divided his clothes and threw dice[fn] to decide who would get each piece.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:26 - A sign announced the charge against him. It read, “The King of the Jews.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:27 - Two revolutionaries[fn] were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:39 - When the Roman officer[fn] who stood facing him[fn] saw how he had died, he exclaimed, “This man truly was the Son of God!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:7 - Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you before he died.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:10 - She went to the disciples, who were grieving and weeping, and told them what had happened.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:8 - One day Zechariah was serving God in the Temple, for his order was on duty that week.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:13 - But the angel said, “Don't be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer. Your wife, Elizabeth, will give you a son, and you are to name him John.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:14 - You will have great joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:15 - for he will be great in the eyes of the Lord. He must never touch wine or other alcoholic drinks. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even before his birth.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:17 - He will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah. He will prepare the people for the coming of the Lord. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children,[fn] and he will cause those who are rebellious to accept the wisdom of the godly.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:23 - When Zechariah's week of service in the Temple was over, he returned home.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:24 - Soon afterward his wife, Elizabeth, became pregnant and went into seclusion for five months.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:31 - You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:32 - He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:33 - And he will reign over Israel[fn] forever; his Kingdom will never end!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:48 - For he took notice of his lowly servant girl,
and from now on all generations will call me blessed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:49 - For the Mighty One is holy,
and he has done great things for me.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:50 - He shows mercy from generation to generation
to all who fear him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:51 - His mighty arm has done tremendous things!
He has scattered the proud and haughty ones.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:54 - He has helped his servant Israel
and remembered to be merciful.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:55 - For he made this promise to our ancestors,
to Abraham and his children forever.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:58 - And when her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had been very merciful to her, everyone rejoiced with her.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:59 - When the baby was eight days old, they all came for the circumcision ceremony. They wanted to name him Zechariah, after his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:60 - But Elizabeth said, “No! His name is John!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:62 - So they used gestures to ask the baby's father what he wanted to name him.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:3 - God created everything through him,
and nothing was created except through him.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:10 - He came into the very world he created, but the world didn't recognize him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:12 - But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:14 - So the Word became human[fn] and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness.[fn] And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:15 - John testified about him when he shouted to the crowds, “This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘Someone is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before me.'”

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:27 - Though his ministry follows mine, I'm not even worthy to be his slave and untie the straps of his sandal.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:35 - The following day John was again standing with two of his disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:37 - When John's two disciples heard this, they followed Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:47 - As they approached, Jesus said, “Now here is a genuine son of Israel—a man of complete integrity.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:2 - and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:5 - But his mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:11 - This miraculous sign at Cana in Galilee was the first time Jesus revealed his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:12 - After the wedding he went to Capernaum for a few days with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:17 - Then his disciples remembered this prophecy from the Scriptures: “Passion for God's house will consume me.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:21 - But when Jesus said “this temple,” he meant his own body.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:22 - After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered he had said this, and they believed both the Scriptures and what Jesus had said.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:23 - Because of the miraculous signs Jesus did in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many began to trust in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:2 - After dark one evening, he came to speak with Jesus. “Rabbi,” he said, “we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:22 - Then Jesus and his disciples left Jerusalem and went into the Judean countryside. Jesus spent some time with them there, baptizing people.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:29 - It is the bridegroom who marries the bride, and the best man is simply glad to stand with him and hear his vows. Therefore, I am filled with joy at his success.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:32 - He testifies about what he has seen and heard, but how few believe what he tells them!
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:33 - Anyone who accepts his testimony can affirm that God is true.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:35 - The Father loves his Son and has put everything into his hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:2 - (though Jesus himself didn't baptize them—his disciples did).
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:5 - Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:8 - He was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:12 - And besides, do you think you're greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this well? How can you offer better water than he and his sons and his animals enjoyed?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:27 - Just then his disciples came back. They were shocked to find him talking to a woman, but none of them had the nerve to ask, “What do you want with her?” or “Why are you talking to her?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:34 - Then Jesus explained: “My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:41 - long enough for many more to hear his message and believe.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:47 - When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Jesus to come to Capernaum to heal his son, who was about to die.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:51 - While the man was on his way, some of his servants met him with the news that his son was alive and well.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:53 - Then the father realized that that was the very time Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” And he and his entire household believed in Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:5 - One of the men lying there had been sick for thirty-eight years.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:9 - Instantly, the man was healed! He rolled up his sleeping mat and began walking! But this miracle happened on the Sabbath,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:28 - Don't be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of God's Son,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:35 - John was like a burning and shining lamp, and you were excited for a while about his message.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:37 - And the Father who sent me has testified about me himself. You have never heard his voice or seen him face to face,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:38 - and you do not have his message in your hearts, because you do not believe me—the one he sent to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:3 - Then Jesus climbed a hill and sat down with his disciples around him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:8 - Then Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:12 - After everyone was full, Jesus told his disciples, “Now gather the leftovers, so that nothing is wasted.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:16 - That evening Jesus' disciples went down to the shore to wait for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:22 - The next day the crowd that had stayed on the far shore saw that the disciples had taken the only boat, and they realized Jesus had not gone with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:24 - So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went across to Capernaum to look for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:41 - Then the people[fn] began to murmur in disagreement because he had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:50 - Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:52 - Then the people began arguing with each other about what he meant. “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” they asked.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:53 - So Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:60 - Many of his disciples said, “This is very hard to understand. How can anyone accept it?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:61 - Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining, so he said to them, “Does this offend you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:66 - At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:3 - and Jesus' brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, where your followers can see your miracles!
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:5 - For even his brothers didn't believe in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:7 - The world can't hate you, but it does hate me because I accuse it of doing evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:10 - But after his brothers left for the festival, Jesus also went, though secretly, staying out of public view.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:12 - There was a lot of grumbling about him among the crowds. Some argued, “He's a good man,” but others said, “He's nothing but a fraud who deceives the people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:13 - But no one had the courage to speak favorably about him in public, for they were afraid of getting in trouble with the Jewish leaders.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:17 - Anyone who wants to do the will of God will know whether my teaching is from God or is merely my own.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:29 - But I know him because I come from him, and he sent me to you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:30 - Then the leaders tried to arrest him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his time[fn] had not yet come.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:32 - When the Pharisees heard that the crowds were whispering such things, they and the leading priests sent Temple guards to arrest Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:38 - Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.'”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:51 - “Is it legal to convict a man before he is given a hearing?” he asked.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:53 - [The most ancient Greek manuscripts do not include John 7:53–8:11.]
Then the meeting broke up, and everybody went home.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:6 - They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:20 - Jesus made these statements while he was teaching in the section of the Temple known as the Treasury. But he was not arrested, because his time[fn] had not yet come.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:26 - I have much to say about you and much to condemn, but I won't. For I say only what I have heard from the one who sent me, and he is completely truthful.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:30 - Then many who heard him say these things believed in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:55 - but you don't even know him. I know him. If I said otherwise, I would be as great a liar as you! But I do know him and obey him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:2 - “Rabbi,” his disciples asked him, “why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents' sins?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:3 - “It was not because of his sins or his parents' sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:6 - Then he spit on the ground, made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud over the blind man's eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:14 - because it was on the Sabbath that Jesus had made the mud and healed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:17 - Then the Pharisees again questioned the man who had been blind and demanded, “What's your opinion about this man who healed you?”
The man replied, “I think he must be a prophet.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:18 - The Jewish leaders still refused to believe the man had been blind and could now see, so they called in his parents.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:20 - His parents replied, “We know this is our son and that he was born blind,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:21 - but we don't know how he can see or who healed him. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:22 - His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, who had announced that anyone saying Jesus was the Messiah would be expelled from the synagogue.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:23 - That's why they said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:27 - “Look!” the man exclaimed. “I told you once. Didn't you listen? Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:31 - We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but he is ready to hear those who worship him and do his will.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:40 - Some Pharisees who were standing nearby heard him and asked, “Are you saying we're blind?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:3 - The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:4 - After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:5 - They won't follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don't know his voice.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:11 - “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:20 - Some said, “He's demon possessed and out of his mind. Why listen to a man like that?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:2 - This is the Mary who later poured the expensive perfume on the Lord's feet and wiped them with her hair.[fn] Her brother, Lazarus, was sick.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:13 - They thought Jesus meant Lazarus was simply sleeping, but Jesus meant Lazarus had died.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:16 - Thomas, nicknamed the Twin,[fn] said to his fellow disciples, “Let's go, too—and die with Jesus.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:32 - When Mary arrived and saw Jesus, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:44 - And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:3 - Then Mary took a twelve-ounce jar[fn] of expensive perfume made from essence of nard, and she anointed Jesus' feet with it, wiping his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:4 - But Judas Iscariot, the disciple who would soon betray him, said,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:16 - His disciples didn't understand at the time that this was a fulfillment of prophecy. But after Jesus entered into his glory, they remembered what had happened and realized that these things had been written about him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:17 - Many in the crowd had seen Jesus call Lazarus from the tomb, raising him from the dead, and they were telling others[fn] about it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:19 - Then the Pharisees said to each other, “There's nothing we can do. Look, everyone[fn] has gone after him!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:25 - Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:37 - But despite all the miraculous signs Jesus had done, most of the people still did not believe in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:41 - Isaiah was referring to Jesus when he said this, because he saw the future and spoke of the Messiah's glory.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:50 - And I know his commands lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:1 - Before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and return to his Father. He had loved his disciples during his ministry on earth, and now he loved them to the very end.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:12 - After washing their feet, he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, “Do you understand what I was doing?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:16 - I tell you the truth, slaves are not greater than their master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:18 - “I am not saying these things to all of you; I know the ones I have chosen. But this fulfills the Scripture that says, ‘The one who eats my food has turned against me.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:23 - The disciple Jesus loved was sitting next to Jesus at the table.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:10 - Don't you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I speak are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:10 - When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father's commandments and remain in his love.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:13 - There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:15 - I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn't confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:20 - Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.' Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:17 - Some of the disciples asked each other, “What does he mean when he says, ‘In a little while you won't see me, but then you will see me,' and ‘I am going to the Father'?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:29 - Then his disciples said, “At last you are speaking plainly and not figuratively.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:1 - After saying all these things, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:1 - After saying these things, Jesus crossed the Kidron Valley with his disciples and entered a grove of olive trees.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:2 - Judas, the betrayer, knew this place, because Jesus had often gone there with his disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:10 - Then Simon Peter drew a sword and slashed off the right ear of Malchus, the high priest's slave.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:19 - Inside, the high priest began asking Jesus about his followers and what he had been teaching them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:22 - Then one of the Temple guards standing nearby slapped Jesus across the face. “Is that the way to answer the high priest?” he demanded.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:25 - Meanwhile, as Simon Peter was standing by the fire warming himself, they asked him again, “You're not one of his disciples, are you?”
He denied it, saying, “No, I am not.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:26 - But one of the household slaves of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Didn't I see you out there in the olive grove with Jesus?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:2 - The soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:18 - There they nailed him to the cross. Two others were crucified with him, one on either side, with Jesus between them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:23 - When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided his clothes among the four of them. They also took his robe, but it was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:24 - So they said, “Rather than tearing it apart, let's throw dice[fn] for it.” This fulfilled the Scripture that says, “They divided my garments among themselves and threw dice for my clothing.”[fn] So that is what they did.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:25 - Standing near the cross were Jesus' mother, and his mother's sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:31 - But these are written so that you may continue to believe[fn] that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of his name.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:2 - As they approached the Temple, a man lame from birth was being carried in. Each day he was put beside the Temple gate, the one called the Beautiful Gate, so he could beg from the people going into the Temple.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:1 - Saul was one of the witnesses, and he agreed completely with the killing of Stephen. A great wave of persecution began that day, sweeping over the church in Jerusalem; and all the believers except the apostles were scattered through the regions of Judea and Samaria.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:28 - and he was now returning. Seated in his carriage, he was reading aloud from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:30 - Philip ran over and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. Philip asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:32 - The passage of Scripture he had been reading was this:
“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter.
And as a lamb is silent before the shearers,
he did not open his mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:33 - He was humiliated and received no justice.
Who can speak of his descendants?
For his life was taken from the earth.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:35 - So beginning with this same Scripture, Philip told him the Good News about Jesus.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:18 - Instantly something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he got up and was baptized.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:25 - So during the night, some of the other believers[fn] lowered him in a large basket through an opening in the city wall.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:2 - He was a devout, God-fearing man, as was everyone in his household. He gave generously to the poor and prayed regularly to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:22 - They said, “We were sent by Cornelius, a Roman officer. He is a devout and God-fearing man, well respected by all the Jews. A holy angel instructed him to summon you to his house so that he can hear your message.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:24 - They arrived in Caesarea the following day. Cornelius was waiting for them and had called together his relatives and close friends.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:38 - And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:43 - He is the one all the prophets testified about, saying that everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:13 - He told us how an angel had appeared to him in his home and had told him, ‘Send messengers to Joppa, and summon a man named Simon Peter.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:5 - But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:7 - Suddenly, there was a bright light in the cell, and an angel of the Lord stood before Peter. The angel struck him on the side to awaken him and said, “Quick! Get up!” And the chains fell off his wrists.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:10 - They passed the first and second guard posts and came to the iron gate leading to the city, and this opened for them all by itself. So they passed through and started walking down the street, and then the angel suddenly left him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:11 - Peter finally came to his senses. “It's really true!” he said. “The Lord has sent his angel and saved me from Herod and from what the Jewish leaders[fn] had planned to do to me!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:13 - He knocked at the door in the gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to open it.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:15 - “You're out of your mind!” they said. When she insisted, they decided, “It must be his angel.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:8 - But Elymas, the sorcerer (as his name means in Greek), interfered and urged the governor to pay no attention to what Barnabas and Saul said. He was trying to keep the governor from believing.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:8 - While they were at Lystra, Paul and Barnabas came upon a man with crippled feet. He had been that way from birth, so he had never walked. He was sitting
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:14 - Peter[fn] has told you about the time God first visited the Gentiles to take from them a people for himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:3 - so Paul wanted him to join them on their journey. In deference to the Jews of the area, he arranged for Timothy to be circumcised before they left, for everyone knew that his father was a Greek.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:32 - And they shared the word of the Lord with him and with all who lived in his household.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:33 - Even at that hour of the night, the jailer cared for them and washed their wounds. Then he and everyone in his household were immediately baptized.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:16 - While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply troubled by all the idols he saw everywhere in the city.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:19 - Then they took him to the high council of the city.[fn] “Come and tell us about this new teaching,” they said.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:2 - There he became acquainted with a Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently arrived from Italy with his wife, Priscilla. They had left Italy when Claudius Caesar deported all Jews from Rome.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:8 - Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, and everyone in his household believed in the Lord. Many others in Corinth also heard Paul, became believers, and were baptized.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:26 - When Priscilla and Aquila heard him preaching boldly in the synagogue, they took him aside and explained the way of God even more accurately.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:27 - Apollos had been thinking about going to Achaia, and the brothers and sisters in Ephesus encouraged him to go.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:36 - When he had finished speaking, he knelt and prayed with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:38 - They were sad most of all because he had said that they would never see him again. Then they escorted him down to the ship.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:14 - When it was clear that we couldn't persuade him, we gave up and said, “The Lord's will be done.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:19 - After greeting them, Paul gave a detailed account of the things God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his ministry.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:33 - Then the commander arrested him and ordered him bound with two chains. He asked the crowd who he was and what he had done.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:34 - Some shouted one thing and some another. Since he couldn't find out the truth in all the uproar and confusion, he ordered that Paul be taken to the fortress.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:40 - The commander agreed, so Paul stood on the stairs and motioned to the people to be quiet. Soon a deep silence enveloped the crowd, and he addressed them in their own language, Aramaic.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:14 - “Then he told me, ‘The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and hear him speak.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:16 - What are you waiting for? Get up and be baptized. Have your sins washed away by calling on the name of the Lord.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:22 - The crowd listened until Paul said that word. Then they all began to shout, “Away with such a fellow! He isn't fit to live!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:29 - The soldiers who were about to interrogate Paul quickly withdrew when they heard he was a Roman citizen, and the commander was frightened because he had ordered him bound and whipped.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:7 - This divided the council—the Pharisees against the Sadducees—
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:15 - So you and the high council should ask the commander to bring Paul back to the council again. Pretend you want to examine his case more fully. We will kill him on the way.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:19 - The commander took his hand, led him aside, and asked, “What is it you want to tell me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:20 - Paul's nephew told him, “Some Jews are going to ask you to bring Paul before the high council tomorrow, pretending they want to get some more information.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:2 - When Paul was called in, Tertullus presented the charges against Paul in the following address to the governor:
“You have provided a long period of peace for us Jews and with foresight have enacted reforms for us.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:8 - You can find out the truth of our accusations by examining him yourself.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:23 - He ordered an officer[fn] to keep Paul in custody but to give him some freedom and allow his friends to visit him and take care of his needs.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:24 - A few days later Felix came back with his wife, Drusilla, who was Jewish. Sending for Paul, they listened as he told them about faith in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:25 - As he reasoned with them about righteousness and self-control and the coming day of judgment, Felix became frightened. “Go away for now,” he replied. “When it is more convenient, I'll call for you again.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:3 - They asked Festus as a favor to transfer Paul to Jerusalem (planning to ambush and kill him on the way).
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:5 - So he said, “Those of you in authority can return with me. If Paul has done anything wrong, you can make your accusations.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:7 - When Paul arrived, the Jewish leaders from Jerusalem gathered around and made many serious accusations they couldn't prove.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:15 - When I was in Jerusalem, the leading priests and Jewish elders pressed charges against him and asked me to condemn him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:22 - “I'd like to hear the man myself,” Agrippa said.
And Festus replied, “You will—tomorrow!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:25 - But in my opinion he has done nothing deserving death. However, since he appealed his case to the emperor, I have decided to send him to Rome.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:27 - For it makes no sense to send a prisoner to the emperor without specifying the charges against him!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:24 - Suddenly, Festus shouted, “Paul, you are insane. Too much study has made you crazy!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:3 - As Paul gathered an armful of sticks and was laying them on the fire, a poisonous snake, driven out by the heat, bit him on the hand.

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:2 - God promised this Good News long ago through his prophets in the holy Scriptures.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:3 - The Good News is about his Son. In his earthly life he was born into King David's family line,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:5 - Through Christ, God has given us the privilege[fn] and authority as apostles to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:9 - God knows how often I pray for you. Day and night I bring you and your needs in prayer to God, whom I serve with all my heart[fn] by spreading the Good News about his Son.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:20 - For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:4 - Don't you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can't you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:6 - He will judge everyone according to what they have done.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:26 - And if the Gentiles obey God's law, won't God declare them to be his own people?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:7 - “But,” someone might still argue, “how can God condemn me as a sinner if my dishonesty highlights his truthfulness and brings him more glory?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:20 - For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:24 - Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:25 - For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:26 - for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he declares sinners to be right in his sight when they believe in Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:5 - But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:13 - Clearly, God's promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God's law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:9 - And since we have been made right in God's sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God's condemnation.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:10 - For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:3 - Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:5 - Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:9 - We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:9 - But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.)
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:11 - The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:29 - For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn[fn] among many brothers and sisters.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:19 - Well then, you might say, “Why does God blame people for not responding? Haven't they simply done what he makes them do?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:22 - In the same way, even though God has the right to show his anger and his power, he is very patient with those on whom his anger falls, who are destined for destruction.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:23 - He does this to make the riches of his glory shine even brighter on those to whom he shows mercy, who were prepared in advance for glory.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:1 - I ask, then, has God rejected his own people, the nation of Israel? Of course not! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham and a member of the tribe of Benjamin.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:2 - No, God has not rejected his own people, whom he chose from the very beginning. Do you realize what the Scriptures say about this? Elijah the prophet complained to God about the people of Israel and said,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:33 - Oh, how great are God's riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:34 - For who can know the LORD's thoughts?
Who knows enough to give him advice?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:36 - For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:20 - Instead,
“If your enemies are hungry, feed them.
If they are thirsty, give them something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap
burning coals of shame on their heads.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:10 - And in another place it is written,
“Rejoice with his people,
you Gentiles.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:21 - I have been following the plan spoken of in the Scriptures, where it says,
“Those who have never been told about him will see,
and those who have never heard of him will understand.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:2 - Welcome her in the Lord as one who is worthy of honor among God's people. Help her in whatever she needs, for she has been helpful to many, and especially to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:13 - Greet Rufus, whom the Lord picked out to be his very own; and also his dear mother, who has been a mother to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:15 - Give my greetings to Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and to Olympas and all the believers[fn] who meet with them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:9 - God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:30 - God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:5 - I am saying this to shame you. Isn't there anyone in all the church who is wise enough to decide these issues?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:14 - And God will raise us from the dead by his power, just as he raised our Lord from the dead.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:12 - Now, I will speak to the rest of you, though I do not have a direct command from the Lord. If a Christian man[fn] has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to continue living with him, he must not leave her.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:36 - But if a man thinks that he's treating his fiancée improperly and will inevitably give in to his passion, let him marry her as he wishes. It is not a sin.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:37 - But if he has decided firmly not to marry and there is no urgency and he can control his passion, he does well not to marry.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:3 - But the person who loves God is the one whom God recognizes.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:6 - But we know that there is only one God, the Father, who created everything, and we live for him. And there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom God made everything and through whom we have been given life.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:10 - For if others see you—with your “superior knowledge”—eating in the temple of an idol, won't they be encouraged to violate their conscience by eating food that has been offered to an idol?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:7 - What soldier has to pay his own expenses? What farmer plants a vineyard and doesn't have the right to eat some of its fruit? What shepherd cares for a flock of sheep and isn't allowed to drink some of the milk?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:22 - What? Do we dare to rouse the Lord's jealousy? Do you think we are stronger than he is?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:4 - A man dishonors his head[fn] if he covers his head while praying or prophesying.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:25 - As they listen, their secret thoughts will be exposed, and they will fall to their knees and worship God, declaring, “God is truly here among you.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:10 - But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me—and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:23 - But there is an order to this resurrection: Christ was raised as the first of the harvest; then all who belong to Christ will be raised when he comes back.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:25 - For Christ must reign until he humbles all his enemies beneath his feet.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:27 - For the Scriptures say, “God has put all things under his authority.”[fn] (Of course, when it says “all things are under his authority,” that does not include God himself, who gave Christ his authority.)
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:20 - For all of God's promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:11 - so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:14 - But thank God! He has made us his captives and continues to lead us along in Christ's triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:7 - The old way,[fn] with laws etched in stone, led to death, though it began with such glory that the people of Israel could not bear to look at Moses' face. For his face shone with the glory of God, even though the brightness was already fading away.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:13 - We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so the people of Israel would not see the glory, even though it was destined to fade away.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:7 - His presence was a joy, but so was the news he brought of the encouragement he received from you. When he told us how much you long to see me, and how sorry you are for what happened, and how loyal you are to me, I was filled with joy!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:13 - We have been greatly encouraged by this.
In addition to our own encouragement, we were especially delighted to see how happy Titus was about the way all of you welcomed him and set his mind[fn] at ease.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:15 - Now he cares for you more than ever when he remembers the way all of you obeyed him and welcomed him with such fear and deep respect.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:18 - We are also sending another brother with Titus. All the churches praise him as a preacher of the Good News.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:19 - He was appointed by the churches to accompany us as we take the offering to Jerusalem[fn]—a service that glorifies the Lord and shows our eagerness to help.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:9 - As the Scriptures say,
“They share freely and give generously to the poor.
Their good deeds will be remembered forever.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:15 - Thank God for this gift[fn] too wonderful for words!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:3 - But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:15 - So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. In the end they will get the punishment their wicked deeds deserve.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:33 - I had to be lowered in a basket through a window in the city wall to escape from him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:17 - But how? Did any of the men I sent to you take advantage of you?
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:15 - But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace. Then it pleased him
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:16 - to reveal his Son to me[fn] so that I would proclaim the Good News about Jesus to the Gentiles.
When this happened, I did not rush out to consult with any human being.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:16 - God gave the promises to Abraham and his child.[fn] And notice that the Scripture doesn't say “to his children,[fn]” as if it meant many descendants. Rather, it says “to his child”—and that, of course, means Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:4 - But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:6 - And because we[fn] are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:4 - Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:5 - God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:6 - So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:7 - He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:9 - God has now revealed to us his mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:11 - Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God,[fn] for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:12 - God's purpose was that we Jews who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:14 - The Spirit is God's guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:17 - asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom[fn] and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:18 - I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:19 - I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:20 - that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:22 - God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:23 - And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:4 - But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:7 - So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:10 - For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:15 - He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:18 - Now all of us can come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:20 - Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:5 - God did not reveal it to previous generations, but now by his Spirit he has revealed it to his holy apostles and prophets.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:7 - By God's grace and mighty power, I have been given the privilege of serving him by spreading this Good News.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:12 - Because of Christ and our faith in him,[fn] we can now come boldly and confidently into God's presence.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:16 - I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:25 - So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same body.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:30 - And we are members of his body.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:31 - As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:10 - A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:29 - For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:22 - But you know how Timothy has proved himself. Like a son with his father, he has served with me in preaching the Good News.

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:3 - That is why he must offer sacrifices for his own sins as well as theirs.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:7 - While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could rescue him from death. And God heard his prayers because of his deep reverence for God.

Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:6 - So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:7 - But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:10 - If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:3 - And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments.

Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:27 - But you have received the Holy Spirit,[fn] and he lives within you, so you don't need anyone to teach you what is true.

Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:28 - And now, dear children, remain in fellowship with Christ so that when he returns, you will be full of courage and not shrink back from him in shame.

Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:9 - Those who have been born into God's family do not make a practice of sinning, because God's life[fn] is in them. So they can't keep on sinning, because they are children of God.

Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:9 - God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:10 - This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:13 - And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:20 - If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a Christian brother or sister,[fn] that person is a liar; for if we don't love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:21 - And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their Christian brothers and sisters.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:1 - Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ[fn] has become a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:2 - We know we love God's children if we love God and obey his commandments.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:3 - Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:9 - Since we believe human testimony, surely we can believe the greater testimony that comes from God. And God has testified about his Son.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:10 - All who believe in the Son of God know in their hearts that this testimony is true. Those who don't believe this are actually calling God a liar because they don't believe what God has testified about his Son.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:11 - And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:14 - And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:15 - And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:16 - If you see a Christian brother or sister[fn] sinning in a way that does not lead to death, you should pray, and God will give that person life. But there is a sin that leads to death, and I am not saying you should pray for those who commit it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:18 - We know that God's children do not make a practice of sinning, for God's Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot touch them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:20 - And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God.[fn] And now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and he is eternal life.
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:6 - Love means doing what God has commanded us, and he has commanded us to love one another, just as you heard from the beginning.
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:11 - Anyone who encourages such people becomes a partner in their evil work.
Unchecked Copy Box3Jo 1:10 - When I come, I will report some of the things he is doing and the evil accusations he is making against us. Not only does he refuse to welcome the traveling teachers, he also tells others not to help them. And when they do help, he puts them out of the church.
