riversident@Matthew:1:11 @ Josiah was the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the Babylonian exile.

riversident@Matthew:1:17 @ So there were in all fourteen generations from Abraham to David, and fourteen generations from David to the Babylonian exile, and fourteen generations from the Babylonian exile to the Christ.

riversident@Matthew:1:19 @ Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and yet not willing to make her a public example, resolved to dismiss her privately.

riversident@Matthew:1:20 @ But while he was thinking this over, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Matthew:1:21 @ She will bear a son and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

riversident@Matthew:1:23 @ "Behold the virgin will conceive and will bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel" (note:)which means, God is with us(:note).

riversident@Matthew:1:24 @ When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took his wife to his home.

riversident@Matthew:2:2 @ saying, "Where is he who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the East and have come to do homage to him."

riversident@Matthew:2:3 @ When King Herod heard it, he was disturbed, and so was all Jerusalem.

riversident@Matthew:2:4 @ Then he called together all the high priests and scribes of the people and inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

riversident@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men and learned from them exactly the time of the star's appearance,

riversident@Matthew:2:8 @ and as he sent them to Bethlehem he said, "Go and make careful inquiries about the child, and when you have found him bring me word, so that I too may come and do homage to him."

riversident@Matthew:2:9 @ After hearing the king, they journeyed on, and the star which they had seen in the East went before them until it came and stood over where the child was.

riversident@Matthew:2:11 @ They entered the house and saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and presented to him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

riversident@Matthew:2:12 @ After this they were warned in a dream not to return to Herod, and so went by another mad back to their own country.

riversident@Matthew:2:13 @ After they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph and said, "Rise up, and take the child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and be there until I tell you, for Herod will search for the child in order to kill him."

riversident@Matthew:2:14 @ So Joseph rose up, and took the child and his mother in the night and went away to Egypt,

riversident@Matthew:2:15 @ and was there until the death of Herod, in order that the word of the Lord spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, "Out of Egypt I called my Son."

riversident@Matthew:2:16 @ Then Herod, seeing that he had been outwitted by the wise men, became furious, and sent out and killed all the boy babies two years old and under in Bethlehem and all its neighborhood, guided by the date which he had carefully learned from the wise men.

riversident@Matthew:2:18 @ "A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and bitter lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be comforted because they are not."

riversident@Matthew:2:20 @ and said, "Arise, and take the child and his mother and go into the land of Israel, for they are dead who sought the child's life."

riversident@Matthew:2:21 @ So he arose, and took the child and his mother and came into the land of Israel.

riversident@Matthew:2:22 @ But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being directed in a dream he went away to the region of Galilee

riversident@Matthew:2:23 @ and settled in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, "He will be called a Nazarene."

riversident@Matthew:3:2 @ and saying, "Repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

riversident@Matthew:3:4 @ This John had his clothing of camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

riversident@Matthew:3:5 @ Then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judaea and all the neighborhood of the Jordan

riversident@Matthew:3:6 @ and were baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

riversident@Matthew:3:7 @ When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said, "Brood of vipers, who directed you to flee from the coming wrath?

riversident@Matthew:3:9 @ and do not think of saying to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you God is able out of these stones to raise up children for Abraham.

riversident@Matthew:3:10 @ Now the axe is lying at the root of the trees. Every tree that does not yield good fruit will be cut down and cast into the fire.

riversident@Matthew:3:11 @ I baptize you with water for a change of heart, but he who is coming after me is more powerful than I; I am not worthy to carry his shoes; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

riversident@Matthew:3:12 @ He has his fan in his hand and will thoroughly clean his threshing-floor. He will gather his grain into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable."

riversident@Matthew:3:14 @ But John opposed him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"

riversident@Matthew:3:16 @ Jesus, as soon as he was baptized, went up from the water, and the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and coming upon him.

riversident@Matthew:4:2 @ After he had fasted forty days and forty nights he was hungry.

riversident@Matthew:4:3 @ Then the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to turn into loaves of bread."

riversident@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the Devil took him with him to the holy city and placed him on the top of the temple

riversident@Matthew:4:6 @ and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, 'To his angels he will give charge of you, and on their hands they will bear you lest you strike your foot against a stone.' "

riversident@Matthew:4:8 @ Again the Devil took him with him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,

riversident@Matthew:4:9 @ and said to him, "All these things I will give you if you will fall down and do homage to me."

riversident@Matthew:4:11 @ Then the Devil left him, and angels came and waited upon him.

riversident@Matthew:4:13 @ Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum on the lake shore on the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,

riversident@Matthew:4:15 @ "Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, road to the sea, country beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,

riversident@Matthew:4:16 @ the people that sat in darkness saw a great light and upon those sitting in the land and shadow of death light dawned."

riversident@Matthew:4:17 @ From that time Jesus began to proclaim and say,

riversident@Matthew:4:18 @...is called Peter, and Andrew his...

riversident@Matthew:4:19 @ and he said to them,

riversident@Matthew:4:20 @ They at once left the nets and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:4:21 @ Going on from there, he saw two other brothers \'97 James the son of Zebedee and John his brother \'97 in their boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

riversident@Matthew:4:22 @ They at once left the boat and their father and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:4:23 @ Jesus went around through the whole of Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people.

riversident@Matthew:4:24 @ His fame spread out into all Syria, and they brought to him all who were sick with various diseases and those suffering from acute pain, demoniacs, lunatics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

riversident@Matthew:4:25 @ Great crowds followed him from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from beyond the Jordan.

riversident@Matthew:5:1 @ SEEING the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he had seated himself his disciples came to him.

riversident@Matthew:5:2 @ He opened his mouth and taught them, saying:

riversident@Matthew:7:29 @ For he taught them like one who had authority, and not as their scribes taught.

riversident@Matthew:8:2 @ And a leper came up and bowed before him, and said, "Sir, if you have the will, you have power to make me clean."

riversident@Matthew:8:3 @ Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him and said, Instantly his leprosy was cleansed away.

riversident@Matthew:8:8 @ The Centurion answered, "Sir, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but just speak the word and my servant will be cured.

riversident@Matthew:8:9 @ For I am a man, \'97 under authority, \'97 with soldiers under me, and I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."

riversident@Matthew:8:10 @ When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said,

riversident@Matthew:8:15 @ He touched her hand and the fever left her. Then she arose and waited upon him.

riversident@Matthew:8:16 @ When evening came, they brought to him many demoniacs and he cast out the spirits by a word, and all their sick he healed.

riversident@Matthew:8:17 @ This was in order to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, "He took our weaknesses and bore away our diseases."

riversident@Matthew:8:19 @ Then a certain scribe came to him and said, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

riversident@Matthew:8:21 @ Another of his disciples said to him, "Sir, let me first go and bury my father."

riversident@Matthew:8:23 @ Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him.

riversident@Matthew:8:25 @ His disciples came to him and woke him and said, "Master, save us. We are going down."

riversident@Matthew:8:26 @ But he said, Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the lake, and there was a great calm.

riversident@Matthew:8:27 @ The men were astonished and said, "What sort of a person is this, whom even the winds and the lake obey?"

riversident@Matthew:8:32 @ He said to them, So they went out and entered into the swine. Then suddenly the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the waves.

riversident@Matthew:8:33 @ The herdsmen fled and went away to the town and told everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs.

riversident@Matthew:8:34 @ Then at once all the town came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him they begged him to depart from their neighborhood.

riversident@Matthew:9:1 @ SO Jesus got into the boat and crossed over and came to his own city.

riversident@Matthew:9:4 @ Jesus knew their thoughts and said,

riversident@Matthew:9:7 @ Thereupon he rose and went away to his house.

riversident@Matthew:9:8 @ The crowds that saw it were astonished and gave glory to God, who had given such power to men.

riversident@Matthew:9:9 @ As Jesus was passing along from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. Jesus said to him, and he arose and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:9:10 @ It happened that, while he was reclining at table in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came in and reclined at the table with Jesus and his disciples.

riversident@Matthew:9:11 @ When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

riversident@Matthew:9:12 @ Jesus heard it and said,

riversident@Matthew:9:14 @ Then the disciples of John came to Jesus and said, "Why are we and the Pharisees fasting while your disciples are not fasting?"

riversident@Matthew:9:18 @ While Jesus was talking to them, a synagogue Director came and bowed down before him and said, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand upon her and she will live."

riversident@Matthew:9:19 @ Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples.

riversident@Matthew:9:20 @ Suddenly a woman who had been suffering for twelve years from hemorrhage came up behind him and touched the tassel of his cloak.

riversident@Matthew:9:23 @ Jesus entered the house of the Director and saw the flute-players and the crowd that was noisily lamenting, and he said,

riversident@Matthew:9:25 @ But after the crowd had been turned out, he went in and took hold of her hand and the girl rose up.

riversident@Matthew:9:29 @ Then he touched their eyes and said,

riversident@Matthew:9:30 @ And their eyes were opened. Jesus sternly commanded them,

riversident@Matthew:9:31 @ But they went out and spread his fame through all that country.

riversident@Matthew:9:33 @ After the demon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke. The crowd wondered and said, "Never was anything like this seen in Israel."

riversident@Matthew:9:35 @ Jesus made a circuit through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity.

riversident@Matthew:9:36 @ Seeing the crowds, he was touched with compassion for them, for they were torn and flung down like sheep that have no shepherd.

riversident@Matthew:10:1 @ THEN, calling to him his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over impure spirits to cast them out, and power to cure every disease and every infirmity.

riversident@Matthew:10:2 @...is called Peter, and Andrew his...

riversident@Matthew:10:3 @ Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus,

riversident@Matthew:10:4 @ Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.

riversident@Matthew:10:5 @ These twelve Jesus sent out and directed them:

riversident@Matthew:11:1 @ WHEN Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went away from that place to teach and preach in the towns.

riversident@Matthew:11:2 @ John had heard in prison of the doings of the Christ, and he sent by some of his disciples to ask,

riversident@Matthew:12:1 @ AT that time Jesus went on the Sabbath through the grain-fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain to eat.

riversident@Matthew:12:13 @ Then he said to the man, He stretched it out and it was restored as sound as the other.

riversident@Matthew:12:14 @ The Pharisees went out and plotted against him how they could destroy him.

riversident@Matthew:12:15 @ But Jesus was aware of it and went away from that place. Many followed him and he healed them all;

riversident@Matthew:12:18 @ "Behold my servant whom I have chosen, the Beloved in whom my soul delights. I will put my spirit upon him and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

riversident@Matthew:12:20 @ A bruised reed he will not break, and a low-burning wick he will, not quench, until he has carried justice to victory.

riversident@Matthew:12:22 @ Then there was brought to Jesus a demoniac, blind and dumb. He healed him so that he spoke and saw.

riversident@Matthew:12:23 @ All the crowds were astonished and said, "Is not this man the Son of David?"

riversident@Matthew:12:25 @ But he knew their thoughts and said to them,

riversident@Matthew:12:38 @ Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you."

riversident@Matthew:12:46 @ While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers were standing outside, trying to speak to him.

riversident@Matthew:13:1 @ ON that day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the lake.

riversident@Matthew:13:2 @ Great crowds gathered to him so that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the crowd stood on the shore.

riversident@Matthew:13:10 @ Then his disciples came to him and said, "Why do you talk to them in figures of speech?"

riversident@Matthew:13:34 @ All of these things Jesus spoke to them in illustrations, and without an illustration he spoke nothing to them,

riversident@Matthew:13:36 @ Then leaving the crowds he came into the house, and his disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the illustration of the weeds of the field."

riversident@Matthew:13:54 @ Then he came to his native place and taught them in their synagogue so that they were astonished and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these miracles?

riversident@Matthew:13:55 @ Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

riversident@Matthew:13:56 @ And his sisters \'97 are they not all here with us? Where then did he get all this?"

riversident@Matthew:14:2 @ and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead and so miraculous powers are working in him."

riversident@Matthew:14:3 @ For Herod had arrested John and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

riversident@Matthew:14:6 @ But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst and pleased Herod,

riversident@Matthew:14:9 @ The king was grieved, but on account of his oaths and his guests he ordered it to be given her,

riversident@Matthew:14:10 @ and he sent and had John beheaded in the prison.

riversident@Matthew:14:11 @ The head was brought in on a platter and was given to the girl and she bore it to her mother.

riversident@Matthew:14:12 @ The disciples of John came and took the body and buried it, and then they came and told Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:14:13 @ Upon hearing of it, Jesus went away in a boat privately to an uninhabited place. But the people heard of it and followed him by land from the towns.

riversident@Matthew:14:14 @ As he got out of the boat, he saw a great crowd and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

riversident@Matthew:14:15 @ When evening had come on, his disciples came to him and said, "This is an uninhabited place and the time is already late; send away the crowd so that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food."

riversident@Matthew:14:17 @ They said to him, "We have here nothing but five loaves and two fishes."

riversident@Matthew:14:19 @ Then he commanded the crowd to recline on the grass, and he took the five loaves and the two fishes and looked up to heaven and asked a blessing. Then he broke up the loaves and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples distributed to the crowd.

riversident@Matthew:14:20 @ All ate and had abundance, and they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that remained over.

riversident@Matthew:14:21 @ Those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

riversident@Matthew:14:22 @ Then he made his disciples get into the boat and go on across while he was dismissing the crowd.

riversident@Matthew:14:26 @ When the disciples saw him walking on the water, they were terrified, saying that it was a ghost, and they cried out with fear.

riversident@Matthew:14:27 @ But at once Jesus spoke to them and said,

riversident@Matthew:14:29 @ Jesus said, Then Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:14:31 @ At once Jesus stretched out his hand and grasped him and said,

riversident@Matthew:14:33 @ Then the men in the boat bowed down to him and said, "Truly you are the Son of God."

riversident@Matthew:14:35 @ When the men of that place recognized him, they sent into all that neighborhood and brought to him all the sick

riversident@Matthew:14:36 @ and begged him that they might touch merely the tassel of his cloak, and all who touched were cured.

riversident@Matthew:15:1 @ THEN scribes and Pharisees came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,

riversident@Matthew:15:12 @ Then his disciples came to him and said, "Do you know that the Pharisees were shocked when they heard what you said?"

riversident@Matthew:15:21 @ Leaving that place, Jesus retired into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

riversident@Matthew:15:22 @ Here a Canaanite woman of those parts came out and cried, "Sir, have pity on me, Son of David. My daughter is terribly tormented by a demon."

riversident@Matthew:15:23 @ But he did not answer her a word. Then his disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away; she keeps calling out behind us."

riversident@Matthew:15:25 @ But she came and bowed before him and said, "Help me, Sir."

riversident@Matthew:15:28 @...said to her, And her...

riversident@Matthew:15:29 @ On leaving there, Jesus came along by the lake of Galilee and went up on the mountain and sat down there.

riversident@Matthew:15:30 @ Then a great crowd came to him having with them lame men, maimed men, blind men, mutes, and many others, and they laid them at his feet and he healed them.

riversident@Matthew:15:31 @ The crowd was astonished when they saw mutes talking, maimed men sound, lame men walking about, and blind men seeing, and they gave glory to the God of Israel.

riversident@Matthew:15:32 @ Jesus called his disciples to him and said,

riversident@Matthew:15:34 @ Jesus said, They said, "Seven, and a few small fishes."

riversident@Matthew:15:36 @ and he took the seven loaves and the fishes and gave thanks and broke them and gave to his disciples, and the disciples distributed to the crowd.

riversident@Matthew:15:37 @ All ate and were satisfied, and they picked up seven baskets full of fragments that were left over.

riversident@Matthew:15:38 @ There were four thousand men that ate, besides women and children.

riversident@Matthew:15:39 @ Then after dismissing the crowd he got into a boat and came into the region of Magadan.

riversident@Matthew:16:1 @ THE Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus, and, in order to put him to a test, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

riversident@Matthew:16:4 @ But he answered, and he left them and went away.

riversident@Matthew:16:6 @ and Jesus said to them,

riversident@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they understood that he had told them to beware not of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

riversident@Matthew:16:21 @ From that time Jesus began to make plain to his disciples that he had to go away to Jerusalem, and suffer greatly from the elders and high priests and scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised.

riversident@Matthew:16:22 @ Peter took him and began to reprove him, saying, "Please God, Sir; this shall not happen to you."

riversident@Matthew:17:1 @ Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain alone.

riversident@Matthew:17:2 @ There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as the light.

riversident@Matthew:17:3 @ Then appeared to them Moses and Elijah talking with him.

riversident@Matthew:17:4 @ Peter said to Jesus, "Sir, it is fine for us to be here. If you like, I will make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."

riversident@Matthew:17:5 @ While he was speaking, a bright cloud suddenly overspread them and a voice issued from the cloud, "This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight. Hear him."

riversident@Matthew:17:7 @ But Jesus came and touched them and said,

riversident@Matthew:17:14 @ When they reached the crowd, a man came to Jesus and knelt to him and said,

riversident@Matthew:17:15 @ "Sir, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic and is in a very bad way. For often he falls into the fire and often into the water.

riversident@Matthew:17:16 @ I brought him to your disciples and they could not cure him."

riversident@Matthew:17:18 @ Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and he came out of him and the boy was well from that hour.

riversident@Matthew:17:19 @ Then the disciples came to Jesus aside and said, "Why were we unable to cast it out?"

riversident@Matthew:17:23 @ and they were deeply distressed.

riversident@Matthew:17:24 @ After they came to Capernaum, the men who were collecting the Temple tax came to Peter and said, "Does not your teacher pay the Temple tax?"

riversident@Matthew:17:25 @ He said, "Yes." But when he went into the house Jesus spoke first to him and said,

riversident@Matthew:18:2 @ He called to him a little child and stood him in the midst of them

riversident@Matthew:18:3 @ and said,

riversident@Matthew:18:21 @ Then Peter came to him and said, "How often, Sir, if my brother sins against me, shall I forgive him? Up to seven times?"

riversident@Matthew:19:1 @ WHEN Jesus had finished these words, he left Galilee and came within that part of Judaea beyond the Jordan.

riversident@Matthew:19:2 @ Great crowds followed him and he healed them there.

riversident@Matthew:19:3 @ Then some Pharisees came to him to test him. They said, "Is it allowable for a man to divorce his wife for any and every cause?"

riversident@Matthew:19:5 @ and said,

riversident@Matthew:19:7 @ They said to him, "Why, then, did Moses command to give a writing of dismissal and divorce her?"

riversident@Matthew:19:13 @ Then some little children were brought to him to have him lay his hands on them and pray. His disciples rebuked those who brought them.

riversident@Matthew:19:16 @ A man came to him and said, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do to have life eternal?"

riversident@Matthew:19:25 @ When the disciples heard this, they were amazed and said, "Who then can be saved?"

riversident@Matthew:19:26 @ Jesus looked at them and said,

riversident@Matthew:19:27 @ Then Peter said, "Why, we have left everything and have followed you. What then shall we receive?"

riversident@Matthew:20:17 @ As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve aside on the road and said to them,

riversident@Matthew:20:20 @ Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing down to him and making a request of him.

riversident@Matthew:20:21 @ He said to her, She said to him, "Give the command for these two sons of mine to sit one on your right and one on your left in your kingdom."

riversident@Matthew:20:25 @ But Jesus called them to him and said,

riversident@Matthew:20:30 @ Two blind men were sitting at the side of the road, and when they heard that Jesus was passing, they cried out, "Sir, have pity on us, Son of David!"

riversident@Matthew:20:31 @ The crowd rebuked them and told them to be silent. But all the more they cried, "Sir, have pity on us, Son of David!"

riversident@Matthew:20:32 @ Jesus stopped and called them and said,

riversident@Matthew:20:34 @ Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes, and at once they regained sight and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:21:1 @ WHEN they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

riversident@Matthew:21:5 @ "Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold thy king comes to thee, gentle and riding on an ass and on a colt, the foal of a beast of draught."

riversident@Matthew:21:6 @ The disciples went and did as Jesus had bidden them,

riversident@Matthew:21:7 @ and brought the ass and the colt, and spread on them their cloaks and seated him on them.

riversident@Matthew:21:8 @ A very large crowd spread their cloaks in the road, and others cut off branches from the trees and spread them in the road.

riversident@Matthew:21:9 @ The crowds that walked before and those that followed shouted, "God save the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! God in highest heaven save him!"

riversident@Matthew:21:10 @ When he entered Jerusalem all the city was shaken, and people said, "Who is this?"

riversident@Matthew:21:12 @ Jesus went into the Temple courts and drove out all those who were selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who were selling doves,

riversident@Matthew:21:13 @ and he said,

riversident@Matthew:21:14 @ Then blind men and lame men came to him in the Temple courts and he healed them.

riversident@Matthew:21:15 @ When the high priests and the scribes saw the wonders that he did and the children shouting, "God save the Son of David!" they were angry

riversident@Matthew:21:16 @ and said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" Jesus said,

riversident@Matthew:21:17 @ Then he left them and went out of the city to Bethany and spent the night there.

riversident@Matthew:21:19 @ and seeing a solitary fig tree at the roadside he went to it, but found on it nothing but leaves only. He said to it, The fig tree immediately withered up.

riversident@Matthew:21:20 @ Upon seeing this, the disciples were astonished and said, "How suddenly the fig tree withered up!"

riversident@Matthew:21:23 @ When he had gone into the Temple courts, the high priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching and said, "By what authority are you doing this, and who gave you this authority?"

riversident@Matthew:21:26 @ and if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the people, for they all hold John for a prophet."

riversident@Matthew:21:41 @ They said to him, "He will put those miserable men to a miserable death, and will let out the vineyard to other grape-growers who will render him the fruits in their seasons."

riversident@Matthew:21:45 @ The high priests and the Pharisees listening to his illustrations knew that he was speaking about them.

riversident@Matthew:22:15 @ Then the Pharisees went and held a consultation how they could entrap him in talk.

riversident@Matthew:22:16 @ They sent to him their disciples with the Herodians and they said, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and that you are afraid of no one, for you do not regard the social standing of men.

riversident@Matthew:22:18 @ But Jesus knew their wickedness and said,

riversident@Matthew:22:22 @ When they heard this, they wondered and left him and went away.

riversident@Matthew:22:23 @ On that day some Sadducees came to him asserting that there is no resurrection, and they asked him,

riversident@Matthew:22:24 @ "Teacher, Moses said, 'If any man dies childless, his brother shall marry his widow and raise up offspring for his brother.'

riversident@Matthew:22:25 @ Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died childless and left his wife to his brother.

riversident@Matthew:22:26 @ So did the second and the third down to the seventh.

riversident@Matthew:22:35 @ and one of them, a lawyer, in order to test him, asked,

riversident@Matthew:22:46 @ No one was able to answer him a word, and no one from that day dared ask him any more questions.

riversident@Matthew:23:1 @ THEN Jesus addressed the crowd and his disciples.

riversident@Matthew:24:1 @ JESUS left the Temple courts and was going away when his disciples came to point out to him the Temple buildings.

riversident@Matthew:24:3 @ While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately and said, "Tell us when these things will be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?"

riversident@Matthew:26:3 @ Then the high priests and the elders of the people assembled at the house of the High Priest, who was called Caiaphas,

riversident@Matthew:26:4 @ and they plotted to seize Jesus by some trick and kill him.

riversident@Matthew:26:6 @ When Jesus had come to Bethany and was in the house of Simon the leper,

riversident@Matthew:26:7 @ a woman came up to him, bringing an alabaster jar of costly ointment, and poured it on his head while he was reclining at table.

riversident@Matthew:26:8 @ On seeing this, the disciples were indignant and said, "Why this waste?

riversident@Matthew:26:9 @ This could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor."

riversident@Matthew:26:10 @ But Jesus observed it and said,

riversident@Matthew:26:15 @ and asked, "What will you give me if I betray him to you?" They paid him thirty pieces of silver.

riversident@Matthew:26:16 @ And from that moment he kept seeking a favorable time to betray him.

riversident@Matthew:26:17 @ On the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Where do you wish us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

riversident@Matthew:26:19 @ The disciples did as Jesus had instructed them and prepared the Passover.

riversident@Matthew:26:26 @ While they were eating, Jesus took a loaf and blessed it and broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying,

riversident@Matthew:26:27 @ Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks gave it to them, saying,

riversident@Matthew:26:33 @ Peter answered him, "Though all stumble and fail you, I never will stumble and fail."

riversident@Matthew:26:35 @...will not disown you." And so...

riversident@Matthew:26:36 @ Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples,

riversident@Matthew:26:37 @ He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed.

riversident@Matthew:26:39 @ Then he went a little farther and fell on his face and prayed,

riversident@Matthew:26:40 @ Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter,

riversident@Matthew:26:42 @ Again a second time he went away and prayed,

riversident@Matthew:26:43 @ He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

riversident@Matthew:26:44 @ So he left them and went away again and prayed a third time, saying again the same words.

riversident@Matthew:26:45 @ Then he came to the disciples and said to them,

riversident@Matthew:26:47 @ While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, sent by the high priests and elders of the people.

riversident@Matthew:26:49 @ Immediately he came up to Jesus and said, "Good evening, Rabbi," and kissed him affectionately.

riversident@Matthew:26:50 @ Jesus said to him, Then they came and laid their hands on Jesus and arrested him.

riversident@Matthew:26:51 @ Suddenly one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the High Priest, cutting off his ear.

riversident@Matthew:26:56 @ Then all the disciples left him and fled.

riversident@Matthew:26:57 @ The men who had arrested Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the High Priest, at whose house the scribes and elders had assembled.

riversident@Matthew:26:58 @ Peter followed him at a distance as far as the court of the High Priest, and went in and sat among the attendants to see the end.

riversident@Matthew:26:59 @ The high priests and the whole council sought for false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death.

riversident@Matthew:26:61 @ and said, "This man said, 'I can pull down the Temple of God and in three days build it up again.' "

riversident@Matthew:26:62 @ The High Priest rose and said to him, "Have you no answer? What is it that these are testifying to against you?"

riversident@Matthew:26:67 @ Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Some slapped him,

riversident@Matthew:26:69 @ Peter was sitting outside in the court. A maid came up to him and said, "You too were with Jesus the Galilaean."

riversident@Matthew:26:71 @ When he had gone out into the gateway, another maid saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene."

riversident@Matthew:26:73 @ After a little those who were standing there came up and said to Peter, "Truly you are one of them, for your accent proves it."

riversident@Matthew:26:74 @ Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know the man." Immediately the cock crew, and

riversident@Matthew:26:75 @ Peter remembered what Jesus had said, and he went out and wept bitterly.

riversident@Matthew:27:1 @ WHEN morning came all the high priests and the elders of the people consulted together against Jesus to put him to death.

riversident@Matthew:27:2 @ After binding him, they led him away and handed him over to Pilate the Governor.

riversident@Matthew:27:3 @ Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus had been condemned, was sorry and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the high priests and elders,

riversident@Matthew:27:5 @ Then throwing the silver into the Temple he left and went and hung himself.

riversident@Matthew:27:6 @ The high priests took the money and said, "It is not proper to put it in with the consecrated gifts, since it is the price of blood."

riversident@Matthew:27:10 @ and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."

riversident@Matthew:27:12 @ While he was being accused by the high priests and elders, he answered nothing.

riversident@Matthew:27:20 @ The high priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:27:24 @ When Pilate saw that he was doing no good, but rather that an uproar was arising, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd and said, "I am innocent of this blood. You will have to see to it."

riversident@Matthew:27:25 @ All the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!"

riversident@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released Barabbas for them, but scourged Jesus and handed him over to be crucified.

riversident@Matthew:27:27 @ Then the soldiers of the Governor took Jesus with them into the castle and gathered about him all the battalion.

riversident@Matthew:27:28 @ They stripped him and put on him a crimson cloak,

riversident@Matthew:27:29 @ twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head, put a reed into his right hand, and, going down on their knees before him, made sport of him, shouting, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

riversident@Matthew:27:30 @ They spit on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

riversident@Matthew:27:31 @ After they had finished making sport of him, they took off from him the crimson cloak and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucifixion.

riversident@Matthew:27:34 @ they gave him wine mixed with gall to drink. He tasted it and would not drink it.

riversident@Matthew:27:36 @ Then they sat and kept watch over him there.

riversident@Matthew:27:38 @ At the same time there were crucified along with him two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.

riversident@Matthew:27:40 @ and saying, "You who can pull down the Temple and in three days build it up, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

riversident@Matthew:27:41 @ In the same way the high priests, making sport of him, along with the scribes and elders, kept saying,

riversident@Matthew: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.

riversident@Matthew:27:48 @ Immediately one of them took a sponge and filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed and gave him a drink.

riversident@Matthew:27:52 @ and the tombs were opened and many bodies of the sleeping saints arose,

riversident@Matthew:27:53 @ and, coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

riversident@Matthew:27:54 @ The Centurion and his men who were guarding Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that happened, were greatly terrified and said, "Truly this man was a son of God!"

riversident@Matthew:27:56 @ Among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

riversident@Matthew:27:58 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

riversident@Matthew:27:59 @ Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen sheet

riversident@Matthew:27:60 @ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. Then he rolled a great stone up to the door of the tomb and went away.

riversident@Matthew:27:61 @ Mary Magdalene remained there and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

riversident@Matthew:27:62 @ On the next day, that is, the day after the Preparation, the high priests and the Pharisees gathered about Pilate

riversident@Matthew:27:63 @ and said, "Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was alive,

riversident@Matthew:27:64 @ So give orders to have the tomb guarded until the third day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal him away and tell the people, 'He has been raised from the dead,' and the last error will be worse than the first."

riversident@Matthew:27:66 @ They went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone as well as setting a watch.

riversident@Matthew:28:1 @ LATE on the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was drawing near, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the tomb.

riversident@Matthew:28:2 @ And suddenly there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came to the stone and rolled it away and sat upon it.

riversident@Matthew:28:3 @ His appearance was like lightning and his raiment white as snow.

riversident@Matthew:28:4 @ For fear of him the guards trembled violently and became like dead men.

riversident@Matthew:28:7 @ Go quickly and tell his disciples that he has been raised from the dead. He will precede you to Galilee. There you will see him. See, I have told you."

riversident@Matthew:28:8 @ They left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to tell his disciples.

riversident@Matthew:28:9 @ Suddenly Jesus met them and said, They came up and clasped his feet and bowed down before him.

riversident@Matthew:28:11 @ While they were going, some of the guard came into the city and brought word to the high priests of all that had happened.

riversident@Matthew:28:12 @ After assembling with the elders and holding a consultation, they gave a good deal of money to the soldiers

riversident@Matthew:28:13 @ and said, "Say, 'His disciples came in the night and stole him away while we were asleep,'

riversident@Matthew:28:14 @ and if this comes to the ears of the Governor we will persuade him and free you from trouble."

riversident@Matthew:28:15 @...as they were instructed. And this...

riversident@Matthew:28:17 @ and they saw him and bowed down before him; but some doubted.

riversident@Matthew:28:18 @ Jesus came to them and talked with them. He said,

riversident@Mark:1:5 @ All the land of Judaea and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him and were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.

riversident@Mark:1:6 @ John's clothes were of camel's hair and he had a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.

riversident@Mark:1:7 @ He proclaimed, "One is coming after me who is more powerful than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop and loose.

riversident@Mark:1:9 @ In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

riversident@Mark:1:10 @ Immediately as he was coming up from the water he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him.

riversident@Mark:1:11 @ And there was a voice from the heavens, "Thou art my Son, my Beloved; in thee I am well pleased."

riversident@Mark:1:13 @ And he was in the wild lands forty days, tempted by Satan. There he was among the wild beasts, but angels waited upon him.

riversident@Mark:1:15 @ and saying,

riversident@Mark:1:16 @...Simon and his brother Andrew, casting...

riversident@Mark:1:18 @ They immediately left their nets and followed him.

riversident@Mark:1:19 @ Going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and his brother John in their boat, mending their net.

riversident@Mark:1:20 @ Immediately he called them. They left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him away.

riversident@Mark:1:21 @ They came into Capernaum. Immediately on the Sabbath he went into the synagogue and taught.

riversident@Mark:1:22 @ The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as if he had authority, and not as the scribes.

riversident@Mark:1:23 @ There was in their synagogue a man wider the power of an impure spirit, and he immediately cried out,

riversident@Mark:1:25 @ But Jesus reproved him and said,

riversident@Mark:1:26 @ Then the impure spirit convulsed him, and screamed loudly and came out.

riversident@Mark:1:27 @ They were all amazed so that they discussed together, "What is this? A new powerful teaching! He commands even the impure spirits and they obey him!"

riversident@Mark:1:29 @...house of Simon and Andrew, with...

riversident@Mark:1:31 @ He came to her, and took her by the hand and lifted her up. The fever left her and she waited on them.

riversident@Mark:1:32 @ When evening came and the sun had set, they brought to him all the sick and those who were afflicted with demons;

riversident@Mark:1:33 @ and the whole city was gathered before the door.

riversident@Mark:1:34 @ He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons, not allowing the demons to talk, because they knew him.

riversident@Mark:1:35 @ Early in the morning, while it was still night, he rose and went out, and went away into a solitary place and there prayed.

riversident@Mark:1:36 @ Simon and his companions searched for him,

riversident@Mark:1:37 @ and when they found him they said to him, "All are looking for you?

riversident@Mark:1:39 @ And he went through all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.

riversident@Mark:1:40 @ There came to him a leper, begging him and kneeling to him and saying, "If you will, you can cleanse me."

riversident@Mark:1:41 @ He had compassion on him, and stretched out his hand and touched him, and said,

riversident@Mark:1:42 @ Immediately the leprosy left him and he became clean.

riversident@Mark:1:45 @ But the man went away and began to proclaim freely and to spread the report, so that Jesus was no longer able to enter openly into any city, but stayed out in the wild country, and people came to him from every direction.

riversident@Mark:2:1 @ HE came again into Capernaum, and after some days it was heard that he was in the house.

riversident@Mark:2:2 @ Many came together, so that there was no longer room even near the door, and he preached to them.

riversident@Mark:2:4 @ Not being able to bring him near, owing to the crowd, they opened the roof where he was, and when they had broken through it, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying.

riversident@Mark:2:6 @ There were some of the scribes sitting there and debating in their minds,

riversident@Mark:2:12 @ Immediately the man rose and took up his pallet and went out before all, so that they were astounded and gave praise to God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

riversident@Mark:2:13 @ Jesus went out again beside the lake, and all the crowd came to him and he taught them.

riversident@Mark:2:14 @ As he was passing along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office and said to him, He arose and followed.

riversident@Mark:2:15 @ Jesus was reclining at table in Levi's house, and many tax collectors and sinners also reclined at table along with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.

riversident@Mark:2:16 @ When the scribes and the Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they said to his disciples, "Can it be that he eats with tax collectors and sinners?"

riversident@Mark:2:18 @ The disciples of John as well as the Pharisees were fasting. They came and said to Jesus, "Why is it that the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but your disciples are not fasting?"

riversident@Mark:2:23 @ It happened on a Sabbath day that he was passing through the grainfields, and his disciples began, as they walked, to pluck the heads of grain.

riversident@Mark:3:1 @ HE went another time into the synagogue and there was present a man with a withered hand.

riversident@Mark:3:5 @ He looked round on them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their hearts, and said to the man, He stretched the hand out and it was completely restored.

riversident@Mark:3:6 @ The Pharisees went out immediately and joined with the Herodians in a plot to put him out of the way.

riversident@Mark:3:7 @ Then Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake and a great number from Galilee followed him. Also from Judaea

riversident@Mark:3:8 @ and from Jerusalem and from Idumaea and from beyond the Jordan and from the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon, a great number, hearing of all that he was doing, came to him.

riversident@Mark:3:11 @ The impure spirits, also, when they saw him, fell down before him and shouted, "You are the Son of God."

riversident@Mark:3:12 @ But he ordered them repeatedly and sternly not to make him known.

riversident@Mark:3:13 @ Jesus went up on the mountain and invited whom he chose, and they came to him.

riversident@Mark:3:14 @ He appointed twelve who should be with him and whom he could send out to preach

riversident@Mark:3:15 @ and to have authority to cast out demons.

riversident@Mark:3:17 @ James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, to whom he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder,

riversident@Mark:3:19 @ and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. Jesus came into a house

riversident@Mark:3:20 @ and the crowd gathered again so that they were not able even to eat bread.

riversident@Mark:3:22 @ The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, "He has Beelzebul in him, and by the Chief of the demons he casts out demons."

riversident@Mark:3:23 @ Jesus called them to him and said to them in figures:

riversident@Mark:3:31 @ Then came his mother and his brothers, and standing outside sent and called him out.

riversident@Mark:3:32 @ A crowd was sitting around him when some one said to him, "Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside and want you."

riversident@Mark:4:1 @ AGAIN Jesus began to teach beside the lake, and a very great crowd gathered around him, so that he got into a boat on the lake and sat down, and all the crowd was on the shore near the lake.

riversident@Mark:4:10 @ When he was alone, his close friends and the twelve asked him about the illustrations.

riversident@Mark:4:36 @ So they left the crowd and took him along just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with them.

riversident@Mark:4:37 @ Then a heavy squall of wind came up and the waves beat into the boat so that it was filling.

riversident@Mark:4:38 @ But he was in the stern asleep on the cushion. They aroused him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are sinking?"

riversident@Mark:4:39 @ When he awoke, he rebuked the wind and said to the sea, The wind ceased and there was a great calm.

riversident@Mark:4:41 @ But they were intensely awestruck and said to one another, "Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the lake obey him?"

riversident@Mark:5:3 @ This man made his dwelling in the tombs, and nobody could bind him even with a chain,

riversident@Mark:5:4 @ because he had often been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart and the fetters broken in pieces by him, and no one was strong enough to tame him.

riversident@Mark:5:5 @ All night and all day long he was in the tombs and in the mountains, shrieking and cutting himself with stones.

riversident@Mark:5:6 @ When he saw Jesus a long way off, he ran and knelt to him

riversident@Mark:5:7 @ and shouted with a loud voice, "What have I and you to do with each other, Jesus, Son of God most high? I adjure you by God, not to torment me."

riversident@Mark:5:12 @ and the demons begged him, "Send us to the swine and let us go into them."

riversident@Mark:5:13 @ He consented. The impure spirits came out of the man and entered into the swine. Then the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned in the lake.

riversident@Mark:5:14 @ At this, those who were feeding them fled and told it in the city and in the fields, and people came to see what had happened.

riversident@Mark:5:15 @ When they came to Jesus, they saw the demoniac, the man who had had the legion, sitting there clothed and in his right mind. They were struck with awe.

riversident@Mark:5:16 @ Those who had seen it told them about what had happened to the demoniac and about the swine.

riversident@Mark:5:20 @ So he went away and began to make known in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him; and all were astonished.

riversident@Mark:5:22 @ Then came one of the directors of the synagogue, by the name of Jairus, and as soon as he saw Jesus he fell at his feet

riversident@Mark:5:23 @ and pleaded with him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter is near to death. I beg you to come and lay your hands on her so that she may be saved and live."

riversident@Mark:5:24 @ Jesus went away with him and a great crowd followed and pressed upon him.

riversident@Mark:5:26 @ and had suffered much under the treatment of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, though without becoming better, but rather worse;

riversident@Mark:5:27 @ this woman had heard about Jesus, and she came in the crowd behind him and touched his cloak,

riversident@Mark:5:29 @ Immediately the hemorrhage ceased and she knew in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

riversident@Mark:5:30 @ Jesus was at once conscious that power had gone from him, and turned in the crowd and said,

riversident@Mark:5:31 @ His disciples replied, "You see the people crowding you, and do you ask,

riversident@Mark:5:33 @ Then the woman, afraid and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell before him and told him all the truth.

riversident@Mark:5:35 @ While he was still speaking, people came from the house of the synagogue Director and told him, "Your daughter is dead; why annoy the teacher any longer?"

riversident@Mark:5:37 @ He did not permit any one to accompany him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

riversident@Mark:5:38 @ When they approached the Director's house, they saw a noisy crowd weeping loudly and wailing.

riversident@Mark:5:39 @ He entered and said,

riversident@Mark:5:40 @ But they laughed at him. Then he put them all out and took the child's father and mother and his own companions and went in where the child was.

riversident@Mark:5:42 @ Immediately the little girl rose up and walked around. She was twelve years old. They were utterly amazed.

riversident@Mark:5:43 @ But he strictly ordered that no one should know it, and told them to give her something to eat.

riversident@Mark:6:2 @ When the Sabbath came, he began teaching in the synagogue. Many who heard were astonished and said, "Where did he get this, and what is this wisdom with which he is gifted? How are such deeds of power done by his hands?

riversident@Mark:6:3 @...and Judas and Simon? And are...

riversident@Mark:6:5 @ There he was unable to do any work of power, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.

riversident@Mark:6:7 @ Then he called together the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over impure spirits,

riversident@Mark:6:8 @ and instructed them not to take anything for their journey but just a stick; no bread, no bag, no coppers in their belts,

riversident@Mark:6:9 @ to be shod with sandals, and not to have two tunics.

riversident@Mark:6:12 @ They went out and proclaimed that men should repent,

riversident@Mark:6:13 @ and they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many sick people and healed them.

riversident@Mark:6:14 @ The name of Jesus was so much talked about that King Herod heard of it. Some were saying, "John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these mighty works are done by him."

riversident@Mark:6:15 @ Others said, "It is Elijah," and others said, "It is a prophet like one of the old prophets."

riversident@Mark:6:17 @ Herod himself had sent and arrested John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married.

riversident@Mark:6:19 @ Herodias hated him and wished to kill him, but was unable to do so,

riversident@Mark:6:20 @ because Herod reverenced John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he protected him. When Herod heard John, he was much perplexed, and yet he was glad to listen to him.

riversident@Mark:6:21 @ But an opportunity came for Herodias when Herod, on his birthday, gave a feast to his high officials and military officers and the leading men of Galilee.

riversident@Mark:6:22 @ Then the daughter of Herodias came in and danced and pleased Herod and his guests. The King said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you will and I will give it to you."

riversident@Mark:6:24 @ The girl went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" She replied, "The head of John the Baptizer."

riversident@Mark:6:25 @ The girl immediately hurried in and said to the King, "I choose to have you give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter."

riversident@Mark:6:26 @ This made the King very sorry, but on account of his oaths and his guests he was unwilling to refuse her.

riversident@Mark:6:27 @ So he immediately sent one of the guardsmen with orders to bring John's head. The soldier went and beheaded him in the prison

riversident@Mark:6:28 @ and brought the head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother.

riversident@Mark:6:29 @ When John's disciples heard about it, they came and took the body and laid it in a tomb.

riversident@Mark:6:30 @ The apostles gathered back to Jesus and reported to him all that they had done and all that they had taught.

riversident@Mark:6:31 @ He said to them, For there were many people coming and going, and they had no time even to eat.

riversident@Mark:6:33 @ But many saw them going and recognized them, and ran together by land from all the towns and got there before them.

riversident@Mark:6:34 @ When Jesus landed, he saw a great crowd, and he was filled with compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began and taught them many things.

riversident@Mark:6:35 @ By this time it was late in the day, and his disciples came to him and said, "This is an uninhabited place and the hour is already late.

riversident@Mark:6:36 @ Send them away so that they can go to the farms and villages around and buy themselves something to eat."

riversident@Mark:6:37 @ But Jesus answered, They said, "Shall we go and buy two hundred shillings worth of bread and feed them?"

riversident@Mark:6:38 @ He asked, When they had ascertained they said, "Five, and there are two fishes."

riversident@Mark:6:40 @ They lay down in rows by hundreds and by fifties.

riversident@Mark:6:41 @ Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven and blessed them, and broke them and gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. The two fishes he also divided among all.

riversident@Mark:6:42 @ All ate and had abundance,

riversident@Mark:6:43 @ and they picked up twelve basketfuls of the broken pieces of the bread, besides portions of the fishes.

riversident@Mark:6:45 @ Jesus immediately had his disciples get into the boat and cross before him to Bethsaida while he was dismissing the crowd.

riversident@Mark:6:47 @ When evening had fallen, the boat was half across the lake and he was alone on the land.

riversident@Mark:6:48 @ He saw them distressed in rowing, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking on the lake and he seemed to be going past them.

riversident@Mark:6:49 @ But when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought that it was a ghost and cried out.

riversident@Mark:6:50 @ For they all saw him and were frightened. But he immediately spoke to them and said,

riversident@Mark:6:51 @ Then he got into the boat with them and the wind dropped. They were in boundless amazement;

riversident@Mark:6:53 @ When they had crossed to the land they came to Gennesaret and dropped anchor.

riversident@Mark:6:55 @ and hurried over all that region and brought in the sick on pallets wherever they heard that he was.

riversident@Mark:6:56 @...tassel of his cloak. And all...

riversident@Mark:7:2 @ and they saw that some of his disciples were eating bread with "common," that is, unwashed, hands.

riversident@Mark:7:3 @ For the Pharisees and all the Jews never eat without first washing their hands up to the wrist, holding faithfully to the tradition of their forefathers,

riversident@Mark:7:4 @ and when they return from market they do not eat until they have washed. There are also many other traditions which they have been taught to hold tenaciously, such as washing cups and pitchers and copper vessels.

riversident@Mark:7:5 @ The Pharisees and scribes asked him, "Why do not your disciples live according to the tradition of our fore-fathers? Why do they eat their bread with common hands?"

riversident@Mark:7:24 @ Leaving that place, Jesus went into the borders of Tyre. He entered a house and did not wish any one to know it, but he could not escape notice.

riversident@Mark:7:25 @ At once a woman whose daughter was afflicted by an impure spirit heard about him, and she came and fell at his feet.

riversident@Mark:7:30 @ She returned to her house and found the child lying on the bed and the demon gone.

riversident@Mark:7:32 @ They brought to him a deaf man who stammered, and begged him to lay his hand on him.

riversident@Mark:7:33 @ He took him aside from the crowd, put his fingers into his ears, and touched his tongue with spit.

riversident@Mark:7:34 @ Then looking up to heaven, he sighed and said, that is,,

riversident@Mark:7:35 @ and his ears were opened, and immediately his tongue was freed and he talked plainly.

riversident@Mark:7:37 @ for they were astonished beyond all bounds and said, "He has done everything well. He makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak."

riversident@Mark:8:1 @ IN those days, when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called together his disciples and said to them,

riversident@Mark:8:6 @ He told the people to recline on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and, after giving thanks, broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute, and they distributed to the people.

riversident@Mark:8:7 @ They had also a few small fishes. These he blessed and told the disciples to distribute them.

riversident@Mark:8:8 @ All ate and were satisfied, and they picked up of the fragments that were left over seven basketfuls.

riversident@Mark:8:10 @ At once he got into a boat with the disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.

riversident@Mark:8:11 @ The Pharisees came out and began to argue with him, asking him for a sign from heaven, in order to test him.

riversident@Mark:8:12 @ He sighed deeply and said,

riversident@Mark:8:13 @ Then he left them and got into the boat again and went away across the lake.

riversident@Mark:8:14 @ They had forgotten to take bread, and except one loaf they had none with them in the boat.

riversident@Mark:8:17 @ He perceived it, and said to them,

riversident@Mark:8:22 @ They came to Bethsaida. There some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him.

riversident@Mark:8:23 @ Taking hold of the blind man's hand, he led him out of the village. Then, after spitting in his eyes and laying his hands on him, he asked him,

riversident@Mark:8:24 @ He looked up and said, "I see the people; I see them like trees, walking around."

riversident@Mark:8:25 @ Again Jesus put his hand on his eyes, and he looked and was restored and saw everything clearly.

riversident@Mark:8:31 @ Then he began and taught them that it was necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders and the high priests and the scribes, and to be put to death, and after three days to rise again.

riversident@Mark:8:32 @ He spoke about this frankly. But Peter took him and began to reprove him.

riversident@Mark:8:33 @ He turned and looked at his disciples and reproved Peter with the words,

riversident@Mark:8:34 @ Then he called the crowd along with his disciples and said to them,

riversident@Mark:9:2 @ Six days later, Jesus took Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain. They were all alone. There in their presence he became transfigured.

riversident@Mark:9:4 @ Then Moses and Elijah appeared to them and conversed with Jesus.

riversident@Mark:9:5 @ Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is fine for us to be here. Let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

riversident@Mark:9:7 @ Then a cloud overshadowed them and there came a voice out of the cloud, "This is my beloved son, hear him."

riversident@Mark:9:14 @ When they came to his disciples, they saw a great crowd around them and scribes debating with them.

riversident@Mark:9:15 @ At once the whole crowd saw him and were amazed, and they ran to him and welcomed him.

riversident@Mark:9:18 @ and whenever it attacks him it convulses him and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth. He is wasting away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, but they had not the power."

riversident@Mark:9:20 @ They brought him to him. As soon as the spirit saw Jesus, he convulsed the boy so that he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

riversident@Mark:9:22 @ Often it has thrown him into the fire or into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us."

riversident@Mark:9:26 @ He screamed and convulsed the boy and came out. The boy looked like a corpse, so that most of them said, "He is dead."

riversident@Mark:9:27 @ But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him and he stood up.

riversident@Mark:9:30 @ After leaving there, they were passing through Galilee, and he did not wish any one to know it.

riversident@Mark:9:31 @ For he was teaching his disciples and telling them that the Son of Man would be betrayed into the hands of men and that they would kill him, and that three days after being killed he would rise.

riversident@Mark:9:32 @ But they did not understand what he said and were afraid to question him.

riversident@Mark:9:35 @ Taking a seat he called the twelve, and said,

riversident@Mark:9:36 @ Then he took a little child and placed him in the midst of them, and, putting his arms around him, said,

riversident@Mark:9:38 @ John said to him, "Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name \'97 a man who does not follow us \'97 and we told him not to do it, because he does not follow us."

riversident@Mark:10:1 @ STARTING from there, he came into the land of Judaea and beyond the Jordan. Again the people crowded to him, and again as usual he was teaching them.

riversident@Mark:10:2 @ Some Pharisees came up and asked him, "Is it right for a man to divorce his wife?" They meant to catch him.

riversident@Mark:10:4 @ They said, "Moses permitted a husband to give a certificate of divorce and send his wife away."

riversident@Mark:10:14 @ When Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said,

riversident@Mark:10:16 @ Then he took them into his arms and blessed them, putting his hands on them.

riversident@Mark:10:17 @ While he was going out into the road, a man came running and knelt before him and asked, "Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit life eternal?"

riversident@Mark:10:21 @ Jesus looking at him loved him and said to him,

riversident@Mark:10:22 @ But his face darkened at that reply, and he went away grieved, for he had great possessions.

riversident@Mark:10:24 @ The disciples were astonished at his words. Jesus spoke again and said,

riversident@Mark:10:26 @ They were amazed beyond measure and said to one another, "Then who can be saved?"

riversident@Mark:10:27 @ Jesus looked at them and said,

riversident@Mark:10:28 @ Peter began, "Well, we have left everything and have followed you."

riversident@Mark:10:32 @ They were on the road going up to Jerusalem and Jesus was walking in advance. Astonishment fell on them, and those who were following were fearful. Then again he took aside the twelve and began and told them what was going to happen to him.

riversident@Mark:10:35 @ James and John the sons of Zebedee came to him and said, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you."

riversident@Mark:10:37 @ They said, "Grant that one of us may sit on your right hand and the other on your left hand in your glory."

riversident@Mark:10:41 @ When the ten heard about this, they became indignant at James and John.

riversident@Mark:10:42 @ Jesus called them to him and said,

riversident@Mark:10:46 @ They came to Jericho. As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (note:)the son of Timaeus(:note), a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside.

riversident@Mark:10:47 @ When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, "Son of David, Jesus, pity me!"

riversident@Mark:10:49 @ Jesus stopped and said, They called the blind man, saying, "Courage; rise up; he is calling you."

riversident@Mark:10:50 @ He, throwing aside his cloak, sprang up and came to Jesus.

riversident@Mark:10:52 @ Jesus said, At once he could see and followed Jesus along the road.

riversident@Mark:11:1 @ WHEN they were approaching Jerusalem, near Bethphage and Bethany, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples

riversident@Mark:11:2 @ and told them,

riversident@Mark:11:4 @ They went and found the colt tied near the door outside in the street, and they untied him.

riversident@Mark:11:6 @ They gave the reply that Jesus had told them to give, and the men let them take it.

riversident@Mark:11:7 @ They brought the colt to Jesus and threw upon it their cloaks and he mounted it.

riversident@Mark:11:8 @ Then many spread their cloaks in the road and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.

riversident@Mark:11:9 @ Some went in front and some followed, shouting, "God save him! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

riversident@Mark:11:11 @ He entered Jerusalem and came into the Temple courts. After inspecting everything, because it was already late he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

riversident@Mark:11:13 @ and seeing a fig tree at a distance in full leaf he went to it on the chance of finding something on it. But when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

riversident@Mark:11:14 @...said to it, And his...

riversident@Mark:11:15 @ They came to Jerusalem, and he went into the Temple courts and began to cast out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of the dove-sellers,

riversident@Mark:11:16 @ and would not allow any one to carry anything through the Temple courts,

riversident@Mark:11:17 @ for he taught and said to them,

riversident@Mark:11:18 @ When the high priests and the scribes heard of this they tried to contrive to put him out of the way, for they were afraid of him because the people were deeply impressed by his teaching.

riversident@Mark:11:19 @ When evening came, Jesus and his disciples used to go out of the city.

riversident@Mark:11:27 @ They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking about in the Temple courts, the high priests and the scribes came to him

riversident@Mark:11:28 @ and said, "By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you authority to do them?"

riversident@Mark:11:33 @..."We do not know." And he...

riversident@Mark:12:12 @ They kept trying to seize him, but were afraid of the crowd. For they knew that he had meant the illustration for them. So they left him and went away.

riversident@Mark:12:13 @ Then they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to entrap him in his talk.

riversident@Mark:12:14 @ When they came, they said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are true and are not afraid of any one; for you do not look at the social standing of men, but you teach the way of God in truth. Is it right to pay tribute to Caesar or not?

riversident@Mark:12:19 @ "Teacher, Moses wrote a law for us that if any man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but no child, the brother shall take the wife and raise up off-spring for his brother.

riversident@Mark:12:20 @ Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died leaving no child,

riversident@Mark:12:21 @ then the second took her and died leaving no child, then the third likewise.

riversident@Mark:12:28 @ Then came one of the scribes, and, after listening to their discussion and knowing that he had answered them well, asked, "Which is the first commandment of all?"

riversident@Mark:12:32 @ The scribe said to him, "Right, teacher; you have said truly that he is one and there is no other beside him,

riversident@Mark: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 one's self is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

riversident@Mark:12:42 @ There came a poor widow and dropped in two mites, in value one penny.

riversident@Mark:12:43 @ Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said to them,

riversident@Mark:13:1 @ AS he was going out of the Temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, "Teacher, see what great stones and what great buildings!"

riversident@Mark:13:3 @...James and John and Andrew asked...

riversident@Mark:13:4 @ "Tell us when these things will be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to come to pass?"

riversident@Mark:13:5 @ Jesus began and said to them:

riversident@Mark:14:1 @ THE Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were to come after two days. The high priests and the scribes were contriving how they might seize him by some stratagem and kill him.

riversident@Mark:14:3 @ During his stay in Bethany in the house of Simon the Leper, while he was reclining at table there came a woman with an alabaster jar of pure nard perfume, very costly. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.

riversident@Mark:14:4 @ Some were indignant among themselves and said, "For what purpose was this waste of the perfume?

riversident@Mark:14:5 @ This perfume could have been sold for more than three hundred shillings and the money given to the poor." So they were indignant at her.

riversident@Mark:14:11 @ They were glad to hear it and promised to give him money. He meanwhile was contriving how he could betray him at some favorable time.

riversident@Mark:14:12 @ On the first day of unleavened bread \'97 when they sacrificed the Passover lamb \'97 his disciples said to him, "Where do you wish us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

riversident@Mark:14:16 @ The disciples went and entered the city and found everything as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

riversident@Mark:14:18 @ As they were reclining and eating, he said,

riversident@Mark:14:19 @ They began to be sad and to say one to another, "It cannot be I?"

riversident@Mark:14:22 @ While they were eating, he took a loaf and blessed it and broke it and gave to them, saying,

riversident@Mark:14:23 @ Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

riversident@Mark:14:32 @ They came to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples,

riversident@Mark:14:33 @ He took Peter and James and John with him and began to be in terror and distress.

riversident@Mark:14:35 @ Then he went forward a little and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass from him.

riversident@Mark:14:37 @ Then he came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter,

riversident@Mark:14:39 @ Then he went away again and prayed, saying the same words.

riversident@Mark:14:40 @ Again he returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to answer him.

riversident@Mark:14:41 @ He came back the third time and said to them,

riversident@Mark:14:43 @ Immediately, even while he was speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, was there and with him a crowd with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the high priests and the scribes and the elders.

riversident@Mark:14:44 @ The traitor had given them a sign, "The man I kiss, that is he. Seize him and take him safely away."

riversident@Mark:14:45 @ So when he came, he immediately advanced to Jesus and said, "Rabbi," and kissed him affectionately.

riversident@Mark:14:46 @ They laid their hands on him and held him.

riversident@Mark:14:47 @ But one of those who stood near drew his sword and struck a servant of the High Priest, cutting off his ear.

riversident@Mark:14:50 @ Then all his friends left him and fled.

riversident@Mark:14:52 @ but he left the linen cloth and fled naked.

riversident@Mark:14:53 @ They led Jesus away to the High Priest, and all the high priests and elders and scribes assembled.

riversident@Mark:14:54 @ Peter followed him at a distance and came inside the court of the High Priest and sat with the attendants, and warmed himself in the light of the fire.

riversident@Mark:14:55 @ The high priests and all the council tried to get testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, but they could not find any.

riversident@Mark:14:57 @ Then some rose and testified falsely against him,

riversident@Mark:14:58 @ "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this Temple made by hands and in three days I will build another not made by hands.'

riversident@Mark:14:60 @ Then the High Priest rose and came forward into the midst and questioned Jesus, "Have you no answer? What about this evidence against you?"

riversident@Mark:14:61 @ But he was silent and did not answer a word. Again the High Priest questioned him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

riversident@Mark:14:63 @ Then the High Priest rent his garments and said, "Why do we any longer have need of witnesses?

riversident@Mark:14:65 @ Then some began to spit on him and to blindfold him and to strike him with their fists and say, "Prophesy," and the attendants slapped him as they took him in charge.

riversident@Mark:14:67 @ and when she saw Peter warming himself she looked at him and said, "You too were with the Nazarene, this Jesus."

riversident@Mark:14:68 @ But he denied it and said, "I do not know nor understand what you are saying." Then he went out into the outer courtyard.

riversident@Mark:14:69 @ There the maid saw him and began again to say to those who stood around, "This man is one of them."

riversident@Mark:14:71 @ But he began to curse and swear, "I do not know this man you are speaking of."

riversident@Mark:14:72 @ Immediately, for the second time, the cock crew and Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him, and when he thought of it he wept aloud.

riversident@Mark:15:1 @ PROMPTLY at dawn the high priests, after holding a consultation with the elders and the scribes and the whole council, bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate.

riversident@Mark:15:8 @ The crowd advanced and began asking him to do as he was accustomed to do for them.

riversident@Mark:15:15 @ Then Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, set free Barabbas for them and after scourging Jesus handed him over to be crucified.

riversident@Mark:15:16 @ The soldiers led him away inside the courtyard of the castle and called together the whole battalion.

riversident@Mark:15:17 @ Then they dressed him in purple and put on him a crown of thorns which they had twisted together,

riversident@Mark:15:18 @ and they began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

riversident@Mark:15:19 @ They kept striking him on the head with a reed and spitting on him, and bending their knees they did homage to him.

riversident@Mark:15:20 @ After making sport of him, they took off the purple and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

riversident@Mark:15:21 @ They impressed a man who was passing by, Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country (note:)the father of Alexander and Rufus(:note), to carry his cross.

riversident@Mark:15:27 @ With him were crucified also two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.

riversident@Mark:15:29 @ The people who passed by scoffed at him, shaking their heads and saying, "Ha, you who can pull down the Temple and build it up in three days,

riversident@Mark:15:31 @ In the same way the high priests, jesting with one another, and the scribes said, "He saved others; himself he cannot save.

riversident@Mark:15:32 @ Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross so that we may see and believe." Even the men who were crucified along with him reviled him.

riversident@Mark:15:33 @ At noon darkness fell on all the land and continued until three o'clock.

riversident@Mark:15:36 @ One ran and filled a sponge with sour wine and put it on a reed and gave him a drink, saying, "Let him be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to take him down."

riversident@Mark:15:37 @ But Jesus uttered a loud cry and ceased to breathe.

riversident@Mark:15:40 @ There were also some women looking on from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the Little and Joses, and Salome,

riversident@Mark:15:41 @ who when he was in Galilee used to follow him and wait on him, and there were many others who had come up with him to Jerusalem.

riversident@Mark:15:43 @ Joseph of Arimathaea, a councilor of high standing, who himself was looking for the kingdom of God, took courage to go in to Pilate and ask for the body of Jesus.

riversident@Mark:15:44 @ Pilate wondered whether he was already dead, but he called in the Centurion and asked him whether Jesus had been long dead.

riversident@Mark:15:46 @ Joseph bought a linen sheet and took him down and swathed him in it and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out in the rock. He then rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

riversident@Mark:15:47 @ Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where Jesus was laid.

riversident@Mark:16:1 @ WHEN the Sabbath had passed, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought perfumes to go and anoint him.

riversident@Mark:16:5 @ Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side dressed in a white robe, and they were frightened.

riversident@Mark:16:7 @ But go tell his disciples and Peter, He has gone before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he told you."

riversident@Mark:16:8 @ The women came out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and amazement seized them. They told nothing to any one, they were so frightened.

riversident@Mark:16:10 @ She went and told those who had been with him as they were grieving and lamenting.

riversident@Mark:16:11 @ But they, when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, did not believe her.

riversident@Mark:16:13 @ They went and told the rest. But neither did they believe these men.

riversident@Mark:16:14 @ Later he appeared to the eleven as they were reclining at table, and reproached them for their lack of faith and dullness of mind because they had not believed those who had seen him since his resurrection.

riversident@Mark:16:19 @ Then the Lord Jesus, after talking with them, was taken up into heaven and sat down on the right hand of God.

riversident@Mark:16:20 @ They went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming their message by the signs which accompanied it.

riversident@Luke:1:2 @ just as those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses and who became bearers of the message handed them down to us;

riversident@Luke:1:5 @ There was in the days of Herod, King of Judaea, a certain priest by the name of Zacharias, of the course of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

riversident@Luke:1:6 @ They were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and regulations of the Lord blameless.

riversident@Luke:1:7 @ But they had no child, for Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.

riversident@Luke:1:9 @ according to the custom of the priesthood, it fell to him to enter the Temple of the Lord and offer the incense.

riversident@Luke:1:12 @ Zacharias, on seeing him, was alarmed and fear fell upon him.

riversident@Luke:1:13 @ But the angel said to him, "Do not fear, Zacharias, for your prayer has been heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear a son, and you will call his name John.

riversident@Luke:1:14 @ You will have joy and gladness and many will rejoice at his birth.

riversident@Luke:1:16 @ and many of the sons of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God.

riversident@Luke:1:17 @ He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him."

riversident@Luke:1:18 @ Zacharias said to the angel, "By what proof shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years."

riversident@Luke:1:19 @ The angel answered, "I am Gabriel, who stands before the face of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to give you this good news.

riversident@Luke:1:20 @ And now you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that this comes to pass, because you have not believed my words, which will be fulfilled in their time."

riversident@Luke:1:21 @ The people were waiting for Zacharias and wondering at his staying so long in the Temple.

riversident@Luke:1:22 @ But when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the Temple. He kept making signs to them and remained dumb.

riversident@Luke:1:24 @ After these days Elizabeth his wife conceived and hid herself five months, saying,

riversident@Luke:1:28 @ The angel entered and said to her, "Hail, favored one, the Lord is with you!"

riversident@Luke:1:29 @ But she was alarmed at his words, and wondered what such a greeting could mean.

riversident@Luke:1:31 @ You will conceive in your womb and will bear a son, and you must call his name Jesus.

riversident@Luke:1:32 @ He will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.

riversident@Luke:1:33 @ He will be king over the house of Jacob through the ages, and of his kingdom there will be no end."

riversident@Luke:1:35 @ The angel replied, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Highest will overshadow you. For that reason the child that is begotten will be called holy, Son of God.

riversident@Luke:1:36 @ And, indeed, Elizabeth your relative, even she, has conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

riversident@Luke:1:39 @ In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill-country to a city of Judah,

riversident@Luke:1:40 @ and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.

riversident@Luke:1:41 @ When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the babe leapt in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit

riversident@Luke:1:42 @ and spoke out with a loud voice and said, "Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

riversident@Luke:1:58 @ Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown great kindness to her, and they rejoiced with her.

riversident@Luke:1:59 @ On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called him by the name of his father Zacharias.

riversident@Luke:1:63 @ He asked for a tablet and wrote, "His name is John." They all wondered.

riversident@Luke:1:64 @ At once Zacharias's mouth was opened and his tongue loosed and he spoke, praising God.

riversident@Luke:1:65 @ Awe fell on all their neighbors, and in the whole hill-country of Judaea all these matters were talked about.

riversident@Luke:1:67 @ Zacharias, his father, was filled with the Holy Spirit and said prophetically:

riversident@Luke:5:6 @ When they had done this, they enclosed a great mass of fishes and their nets began to break.

riversident@Luke:5:7 @ They beckoned to their partners in the other boat to come and take hold with them. They came, and both the boats were filled so that they began to sink.

riversident@Luke:5:9 @ For amazement seized him and all those who were with him at the catch of fishes they had taken.

riversident@Luke:5:10 @ It was just the same with James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. But Jesus said to Simon,

riversident@Luke:5:11 @ Then they brought their boats to land and left all and followed him.

riversident@Luke:5:12 @ It happened that, when he was in one of the cities, there was a man present full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, "Sir, if you will, you can cleanse me."

riversident@Luke:5:18 @ Then came some men bearing on a bed a man who was paralytic, and they tried to bring him in and lay him before Jesus.

riversident@Luke:5:19 @ When they could not contrive to bring him in on account of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiles with his pallet into the midst in front of Jesus.

riversident@Luke:5:20 @ He saw their faith and said,

riversident@Luke:5:21 @ The scribes and Pharisees began to argue, saying, "Who is this man who speaks profane words? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

riversident@Luke:5:22 @ But Jesus perceived their arguing and asked them,

riversident@Luke:5:25 @ Immediately he stood up before them and took up what he had been lying on and went away to his house, glorifying God.

riversident@Luke:5:26 @ Amazement seized them all and they gave glory to God, yet they were also filled with awe, and said, "We have seen astonishing things today!"

riversident@Luke:5:27 @ After this he went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at the tax office, and he said to him,

riversident@Luke:5:28 @ Leaving everything, he arose and followed him.

riversident@Luke:5:29 @ Levi held a great reception for him at his house, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others reclining at table with them.

riversident@Luke:5:30 @ The Pharisees and their scribes grumbled to his disciples, and said, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

riversident@Luke:5:33 @ They said to him, "The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do those of the Pharisees, but your followers eat and drink."

riversident@Luke:6:1 @ IT happened that he was passing one Sabbath through some grainfields, and his disciples were plucking and eating the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.

riversident@Luke:6:6 @ It happened on another Sabbath that he went into the synagogue and was teaching. There was a man there whose right hand was withered.

riversident@Luke:6:7 @ The scribes and Pharisees watched to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, wishing to find something to accuse him of.

riversident@Luke:6:8 @ But he knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, He rose and stood.

riversident@Luke:6:10 @ He looked around at all of them, then said to the man, He did so and his hand was restored.

riversident@Luke:6:11 @ But they were filled with blind fury, and discussed with one another what they could do to Jesus.

riversident@Luke:6:12 @ It happened during those days that he went out to the mountain and prayed and was all night in prayer to God.

riversident@Luke:6:13 @ When day came, he called to him his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom also he named "Apostles":

riversident@Luke:6:14 @ Simon, whom he named Peter (note:)Rock(:note), and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,

riversident@Luke:6:15 @ and Matthew and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot,

riversident@Luke:6:16 @ and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

riversident@Luke:6:17 @ He went down with them and stood on a level spot where were gathered a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judaea and Jerusalem and the sea-coast of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear him and to be cured of their diseases.

riversident@Luke:6:19 @ The whole crowd tried to touch him, because power went out from him and healed all.

riversident@Luke:6:20 @ He raised his eyes to his disciples and said:

riversident@Luke:7:2 @ The servant of a certain Centurion was sick and about to die. He was highly valued by his master,

riversident@Luke:7:3 @ who hearing about Jesus sent to him some elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.

riversident@Luke:7:5 @ for he loves our nation and he built us our synagogue."

riversident@Luke:7:7 @ On that account I did not think myself worthy to come to you. But say the word and have my servant cured.

riversident@Luke:7:8 @ For I am a man \'97 under authority \'97 with soldiers under me, and I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to that one, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."

riversident@Luke:7:10 @ Those who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.

riversident@Luke:7:11 @ It happened soon afterwards that he went to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd were going along with him.

riversident@Luke:7:12 @ As he approached the gate of the city, they were carrying out a dead man, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A great crowd from the city was with her.

riversident@Luke:7:13 @ When the Master saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her,

riversident@Luke:7:14 @ and he went up and touched the bier. The bearers stopped. He said,

riversident@Luke:7:15 @ The dead man sat up and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother.

riversident@Luke:7:16 @ All were awe-struck, and they gave praise to God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us and God has visited his people."

riversident@Luke:7:17 @ The reports about him spread through all Judaea and all the region of the Jordan.

riversident@Luke:7:19 @ So he called to him two of his disciples and sent them to the Master to ask, "Are you 'the Coming One' or are we to expect some other person?"

riversident@Luke:7:21 @ At that very time he was curing many of diseases and pains and wicked spirits, and to many blind people he was giving sight.

riversident@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and the lawyers had thwarted the purpose of God in reference to themselves by not being baptized by him.)

riversident@Luke:7:37 @ Now there was a certain woman in the city, a sinner, and when she learned that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment

riversident@Luke:7:38 @ and took her place behind, beside his feet, weeping. Her tears began to rain down on his feet, and with the hair of her head she wiped them off, and she passionately kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.

riversident@Luke:7:39 @ When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said within himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what this woman who is touching him is, for she is a sinner."

riversident@Luke:8:1 @ SHORTLY afterwards he was making his way through cities and villages preaching and telling the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him,

riversident@Luke:8:2 @ and certain women who had been relieved of evil spirits and infirmities \'97 Mary, who was called Magdalene, out of whom seven demons had gone,

riversident@Luke:8:3 @ and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod's manager, and Susanna, and many others. These women provided for Jesus and his apostles out of their means.

riversident@Luke:8:4 @ When a great multitude was coming together and some from every city were crowding upon him, he spoke to them with an illustration:

riversident@Luke:8:19 @ His mother and his brothers came where he was, but could not get to him on account of the crowd.

riversident@Luke:8:20 @ It was told him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside wishing to see you."

riversident@Luke:8:22 @ It happened one day that he got into a boat, and his disciples went with him. He said to them, They put out.

riversident@Luke:8:23 @ While they were sailing he fell asleep. A gale of wind came down on the lake and the boat was filling and in peril.

riversident@Luke:8:24 @ Coming to him, they awoke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are going down!" He awoke and rebuked the wind and the waves. They grew quiet and there was a calm.

riversident@Luke:8:25 @ He said to the disciples, They were awed and amazed, and said to one another, "Who then is this man who commands the winds and the water and they obey him?"

riversident@Luke:8:27 @ When he got out on to the land, there met him a certain man from that city who had demons. For a long time he had not worn clothes and had not lived in a house, but in the tombs.

riversident@Luke:8:28 @ When he saw Jesus, he screamed and fell down before him, and in a loud voice said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I pray you, do not torment me."

riversident@Luke:8:29 @ For he had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and, though he was bound with chains and fetters and kept under guard, yet bursting his chains he would be driven by the demon off into the wilds.

riversident@Luke:8:33 @ The demons left the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

riversident@Luke:8:34 @ The herdsmen, seeing what had happened, fled and told it in the city and on the farms.

riversident@Luke:8:35 @ The people came out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind, and they were struck with awe.

riversident@Luke:8:37 @ Whereupon all the crowd from the region of the Gerasenes asked him to go away from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into a boat and returned.

riversident@Luke:8:42 @ because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As he was going the crowds pressed around him.

riversident@Luke:8:43 @ A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and could not be cured by any one,

riversident@Luke:8:44 @ came up behind him and touched the tassel of his cloak. At once her hemorrhage ceased.

riversident@Luke:8:45 @ Jesus said, All denied, and Peter said, "Master, the crowd is pressing upon you on every side."

riversident@Luke:8:47 @ The woman, seeing that she had not escaped notice, came trembling and fell before him, and told before all the people why she had touched him and how she was instantly cured.

riversident@Luke:8:50 @ Jesus heard it and said to him,

riversident@Luke:8:51 @ When he came to the house, he did not permit any one to enter with him except Peter and John and James and the father of the child and her mother.

riversident@Luke:8:52 @ All were weeping and wailing for her. He said,

riversident@Luke:8:54 @ But he took hold of her hand and said to her,

riversident@Luke:8:55 @ Her spirit returned and at once she stood up. He told them to give her something to eat.

riversident@Luke:9:1 @ JESUS called together the twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.

riversident@Luke:9:2 @ Then he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.

riversident@Luke:9:6 @ Going forth, they began telling the good news from village to village and performing cures everywhere.

riversident@Luke:9:7 @ Herod the Prince heard of all that was going on, and he was at a loss because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

riversident@Luke:9:8 @ by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that some one of the old prophets had arisen.

riversident@Luke:9:9 @...I hear such things?" And he...

riversident@Luke:9:10 @ The apostles returned and told Jesus all that they had done. Taking them with him, he went away privately to a city called Bethsaida.

riversident@Luke:9:11 @ The crowds found it out and followed him. He welcomed them and talked to them about the kingdom of God, and cured those who needed healing.

riversident@Luke:9:12 @ When the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to him, "Dismiss the crowd, so that they may go to the villages and farms around and put up for the night and find food, for here we are in the wild lands."

riversident@Luke:9:13 @ He said to them, They replied, "We have not more than five loaves and two fishes. We cannot go and buy food for all this crowd, can we?"

riversident@Luke:9:15 @ They did so, and made all recline.

riversident@Luke:9:16 @ Taking the five loaves and the fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed them and broke them and gave to the disciples to distribute to the crowd.

riversident@Luke:9:17 @ They all ate and had abundance, and what was left over was picked up \'97 twelve baskets of fragments.

riversident@Luke:9:18 @ Once when he was praying alone, his disciples joined him, and he asked them,

riversident@Luke:9:21 @ But he rebuked him, and charged them not to say this to any one,

riversident@Luke:9:22 @ telling them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and high priests and be killed, and on the third day be raised.

riversident@Luke:9:28 @ About eight days after this conversation, Jesus took with him Peter and John and James and went up the mountain to pray.

riversident@Luke:9:29 @ While he was praying, the appearance of his face changed and his clothing became radiant white.

riversident@Luke:9:30 @ Suddenly two men were talking with him. They were Moses and Elijah,

riversident@Luke:9:31 @ who appeared in glory and spoke of his passing which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

riversident@Luke:9:32 @ Peter and his companions had been weighed down with sleep, but becoming fully awake they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him.

riversident@Luke:9:33 @ As they were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is fine for us to be here. Let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah," not knowing what he was saying.

riversident@Luke:9:34 @ While he was saying it there came a cloud and over-shadowed them. They were frightened as they entered the cloud.

riversident@Luke:9:36 @ When the voice came, Jesus was there alone. They kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

riversident@Luke:9:38 @ and suddenly a man from the crowd cried out, "Teacher, I pray you look at my son, for he is my only one,

riversident@Luke:9:39 @ and see, a spirit seizes him and all at once he shrieks. It convulses him till he foams and it hardly leaves off tormenting him.

riversident@Luke:9:42 @ Even while he was coming, the demon dashed him down and convulsed him. Jesus rebuked the impure spirit and healed the boy and gave him back to his father.

riversident@Luke:9:45 @ But they did not understand this remark, and it was hidden from them so that they did not take it in, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

riversident@Luke:9:47 @ Jesus knew the question that was in their minds, and he took a little child and stood him beside himself.

riversident@Luke:9:49 @ John answered, "Master, we saw one casting out demons in your name and we tried to stop him because he is not following along with us."

riversident@Luke:9:52 @ and sent on messengers in advance. In journeying they came to a village of Samaritans to make arrangements for him.

riversident@Luke:9:54 @ On seeing this, his disciples James and John said, "Sir, do you want us to bid fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"

riversident@Luke:9:55 @ But he turned and rebuked them. So they journeyed to another village.

riversident@Luke:9:59 @ He said to another, But he said, "Let me first go and bury my father."

riversident@Luke:10:1 @ AFTER this, the Master appointed seventy others and sent them out two and two before him into every city and place where he was soon to come.

riversident@Luke:10:25 @ Then a certain lawyer stood up to test him, and said, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit life eternal?"

riversident@Luke:10:27 @ He answered, " 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy strength and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself.'

riversident@Luke:10:39 @ She had a sister called Mary who seated herself at the feet of the Master and was listening to his words.

riversident@Luke:10:40 @ But Martha was busy and worried over a great deal of service. Coming to him she said, "Master, do you not care that my sister has left me to do the work alone? Tell her to take hold with me."

riversident@Luke:11:14 @ He was casting out a demon and it was dumb. After the demon had gone out, the dumb man spoke and the crowds wondered.

riversident@Luke:11:27 @ While he was saying this a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, "Blessed was the womb that carried you and the breasts that you sucked!"

riversident@Luke:11:29 @ As the crowds were thronging about him, he began and said,

riversident@Luke:11:37 @ During his talk a Pharisee kept asking him to dine with him. He went in and reclined at table.

riversident@Luke:11:53 @ After he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon him angrily and cross-question him on many points,

riversident@Luke:12:1 @ MEANWHILE, as the myriads of the crowd were thronging together so that they trod down one another, he began and said to his disciples first,

riversident@Luke:13:11 @ And a woman was there who had had a spirit of weakness eighteen years, and was bent together and could not stand up straight.

riversident@Luke:13:12 @ When Jesus saw her he called to her and said,

riversident@Luke:13:13 @ and he laid his hands on her. Immediately she was straightened and gave glory to God.

riversident@Luke:13:14 @ But the synagogue Director, angry because Jesus was healing on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days in which work should be done. On those days come and be healed, but not on the Sabbath day."

riversident@Luke:13:17 @ As he said this, all his opposers were ashamed, and all the crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things that he did.

riversident@Luke:13:22 @ He was journeying through the cities and villages teaching and making his way toward Jerusalem.

riversident@Luke:13:31 @ At that time there came to him some Pharisees, saying, "Go out and leave this place, for Herod purposes to kill you."

riversident@Luke:14:2 @ And there before him was a man who had dropsy.

riversident@Luke:14:3 @ Jesus said to the lawyers and Pharisees,

riversident@Luke:14:4 @ They kept quiet. Then taking hold of him he cured him and dismissed him.

riversident@Luke:14:25 @ Great crowds were traveling along with him, and he turned and said to them,

riversident@Luke:15:1 @ ALL the tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to him in order to hear him.

riversident@Luke:15:2 @ The Pharisees and the scribes grumbled to one another, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."

riversident@Luke:16:14 @ The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all this and they were sneering at him.

riversident@Luke:17:11 @ It happened that on his journey toward Jerusalem he was going through Samaria and Galilee.

riversident@Luke:17:16 @ and he fell on his face at the feet of Jesus, thanking him. He was a Samaritan.

riversident@Luke:18:1 @ HE gave them an illustration that they ought always to pray and not to lose courage.

riversident@Luke:18:9 @ He gave also this illustration to some who trusted in themselves as being righteous and despised others:

riversident@Luke:18:24 @ Jesus looked at him and said,

riversident@Luke:18:28 @ Peter said, "See, we have left our property and have followed you."

riversident@Luke:18:34 @ But they understood none of these things, and what he said was hidden from them. They did not grasp the meaning of his words.

riversident@Luke:18:39 @ Those who were in front rebuked him and told him to be still. But he kept crying out much louder, "Son of David, have pity on me!"

riversident@Luke:18:40 @ Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be led to him. When he had come up, Jesus asked him,

riversident@Luke:18:43 @ Immediately he received sight and followed him, giving glory to God. All the people upon seeing this gave praise to God.

riversident@Luke:19:1 @ HE entered and was passing through Jericho.

riversident@Luke:19:2 @ In the city there was a man called Zacchaeus, who was chief of the tax collectors and was rich.

riversident@Luke:19:5 @ When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him,

riversident@Luke:19:6 @ He hurriedly descended and welcomed him joyfully.

riversident@Luke:19:8 @ Zacchaeus stood and said to the Master, "See, the half of my property, Sir, I give to the poor, and if I have unjustly taken anything from any one, I will give him back four-fold."

riversident@Luke:19:11 @ While they were listening to this, he added an illustration, because he was near to Jerusalem and they were thinking that the kingdom of heaven was going to appear immediately.

riversident@Luke:19:29 @ When they approached Bethphage and Bethany at the mount called the Olive Orchard, he sent two of his disciples,

riversident@Luke:19:32 @ Those who were sent went and found everything just as he had said to them.

riversident@Luke:19:35 @ They led it to Jesus and threw their cloaks on the colt and mounted Jesus on it.

riversident@Luke:19:37 @ and as he approached the descent of the Mount of Olives all the multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God in a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen,

riversident@Luke:19:38 @ saying: "Blessed be he who comes as king, in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the heights above!"

riversident@Luke:19:41 @ As he drew near and looked at the city, he wept over it,

riversident@Luke:19:45 @ Entering into the Temple courts he began and drove out the dealers,

riversident@Luke:19:47 @ He was teaching every day in the Temple courts. But the high priests and the scribes were bent on destroying him, and so were the first citizens.

riversident@Luke:20:1 @ ON one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the Temple courts and proclaiming the good news, the high priests and the scribes came up with the elders

riversident@Luke:20:2 @ and said to him, "Tell us by what authority you are doing these things or who it is that gave you this authority."

riversident@Luke:20:6 @ and if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet."

riversident@Luke:20:9 @ He began and gave the people this illustration:

riversident@Luke:20:17 @ He turned his eyes upon them and said,

riversident@Luke:20:19 @ The scribes and the high priests were eager to lay hands on him at that very time, for they knew that he had aimed the illustration at them; but they were afraid of the people.

riversident@Luke:20:20 @ So watching insidiously for an opportunity they sent spies, who pretended to be honest men, to seize upon anything he might say, so as to hand him over to the authorities and to the power of the Governor.

riversident@Luke:20:21 @ They asked him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly and that you do not regard personal influences, but you teach the way of God according to truth.

riversident@Luke:20:23 @ He saw through their cunning and said to them,

riversident@Luke:20:26 @ They could not seize upon his words before the people, and in astonishment at his answer they were silent.

riversident@Luke:20:27 @ There came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, and asked him,

riversident@Luke:20:28 @ "Teacher, Moses wrote for us, 'If any one's married brother dies childless, that man must marry his brother's widow and raise up offspring for his brother.'

riversident@Luke:20:29 @ Well, there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died childless.

riversident@Luke:20:31 @ and the third and the rest of the seven took her and died leaving no children.

riversident@Luke:20:40 @ And they no longer dared to ask him anything.

riversident@Luke:21:37 @ During the days he continued to teach in the Temple courts, but every night he went out and stayed on the mount called Olive Orchard.

riversident@Luke:22:2 @ The high priests and the scribes were intent upon finding some way to destroy Jesus; for they were afraid of the people.

riversident@Luke:22:4 @ and he went away and talked over with the high priests and officers how he could betray him.

riversident@Luke:22:5 @ They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

riversident@Luke:22:6 @ He promised, and was on the lookout for an opportunity to betray him to them when the crowd was not with him.

riversident@Luke:22:8 @ and Jesus sent Peter and John, telling them,

riversident@Luke:22:13 @ They went away and found everything just as he had said, and they prepared the Passover.

riversident@Luke:22:14 @ When the hour came, he reclined at table and the apostles with him.

riversident@Luke:22:17 @ He took a cup and gave thanks and said,

riversident@Luke:22:19 @ Then he took a loaf and gave thanks and broke it and gave it to them, saying,

riversident@Luke:22:33 @ Peter said to him, "Master, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death."

riversident@Luke:22:44 @ Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood failing upon the ground.

riversident@Luke:22:45 @ Then he rose from prayer and came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow.

riversident@Luke:22:47 @ While he was still speaking there came a crowd, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came up to Jesus to kiss him.

riversident@Luke:22:50 @ One of them did strike the High Priest's servant and cut off his right ear.

riversident@Luke:22:51 @ But Jesus said, and he touched his ear and healed it.

riversident@Luke:22:52 @ Jesus said to the high priests and officers of the Temple and elders who had come out against him,

riversident@Luke:22:54 @ After arresting him they led him away and brought him into the house of the High Priest. Peter followed at a distance.

riversident@Luke:22:66 @ When daylight came, the eldership of the people assembled, both high priests and scribes, and they led him to their council, saying,

riversident@Luke:23:1 @ THEN the whole assemblage arose and led him to Pilate.

riversident@Luke:23:2 @ They began accusing him, saying, "We have found this man corrupting our nation and opposing the payment of tribute to Caesar and saying that he himself is Christ a king."

riversident@Luke:23:4 @ Pilate said to the high priests and the crowd, "I find nothing criminal in this man."

riversident@Luke:23:7 @ and when he learned that he was of Herod's jurisdiction he sent him to Herod, who was himself also in Jerusalem during those days.

riversident@Luke:23:10 @ The high priests and the scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

riversident@Luke:23:11 @ Herod along with his soldiers treated him with contempt and after making sport of him and putting a gorgeous robe on him, sent him back to Pilate.

riversident@Luke:23:25 @ He freed the man who for riot and murder had been thrown into prison \'97 the man they asked for; but Jesus he handed over to their will.

riversident@Luke:24:29 @ But they urged him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the sun is already low." So he went in to stay with them.

riversident@Luke:24:30 @ As he reclined at table with them, he took the bread and blessed it and broke it and gave it to them.

riversident@Luke:24:31 @ And their eyes were opened and they recognized him; but he vanished from their sight.

riversident@Luke:24:32 @ They said to each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us when he was talking to us on the road and was explaining the Scriptures to us?"

riversident@Luke:24:34 @ and saying, "Really the Lord has risen and he has appeared to Simon."

riversident@Luke:24:40 @ Saying this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

riversident@Luke:24:41 @ While they still were doubting for joy and wondering, he said to them,

riversident@Luke:24:43 @ and he took it and ate before them.

riversident@John:8:8 @ and again he stooped over and went on writing on the ground.

riversident@John:8:9 @ After hearing that, they passed out one by one, beginning with the older men, and he was left alone and the woman there in the center.

riversident@John:8:10 @ Jesus raised himself up and said to her,

riversident@John:8:20 @ These words he spoke in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple courts, and no one arrested him because his hour had not yet come.

riversident@John:9:11 @ He replied, "The man called Jesus made clay and spread it on my eyes and said to me, I went and washed and received my sight."

riversident@John:9:14 @ It was on the Sabbath day that Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

riversident@John:9:15 @ The Pharisees in their turn asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes and I washed and I saw."

riversident@John:9:19 @ and had asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how can he see now?"

riversident@John:9:20 @ His parents answered, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind.

riversident@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and found him and said,

riversident@John:9:38 @ He said, "I believe, Sir," and bowed down before him.

riversident@John:9:40 @ Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, "Are we blind also?"

riversident@John:10:20 @ Many of them said, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to him?"

riversident@John:10:24 @ The Jews came in a circle around him and said to him, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us frankly."

riversident@John:11:1 @ THERE was a certain man sick \'97 Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.

riversident@John:11:2 @ It was that Mary who anointed the Master with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair whose brother Lazarus was sick.

riversident@John:11:8 @ The disciples said to him, "Rabbi, just now the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"

riversident@John:11:11 @ He said this, and then he said to them,

riversident@John:11:29 @ She, when she heard it, rose quickly and went to meet him.

riversident@John:11:31 @ The Jews who were with Mary in the house trying to comfort her, seeing her rise quickly and go out, followed thinking that she was going to the tomb to wail there.

riversident@John:11:32 @ When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master, if you had been here my brother would not have died."

riversident@John:11:33 @ When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her weeping, he was indignant in spirit and disturbed,

riversident@John:11:34 @ and said, They said to him, "Master, come and see."

riversident@John:11:38 @ Jesus, again indignant, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying on the entrance.

riversident@John:11:41 @ So they took away the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said,

riversident@John:11:44 @ Forth came the dead man, swathed feet and hands in grave-clothes and his face bound up in a handkerchief. Jesus said,

riversident@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen what Jesus did believed in him.

riversident@John:11:46 @ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

riversident@John:11:47 @ So the high priests and the Pharisees assembled the Council and said, "What are we doing? for this man is doing many signs.

riversident@John:11:52 @ and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the children of God now scattered far and wide.

riversident@John:11:54 @ So Jesus no more walked about openly among the Jews, but went away from there into the country near the wild lands, to a city called Ephraim, and there he stayed with his disciples.

riversident@John:11:55 @ The Passover of the Jews was near and many went up to Jerusalem from the country before the Passover to purify themselves.

riversident@John:11:56 @ They were looking for Jesus and were saying to one another, as they stood in the Temple courts, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?"

riversident@John:11:57 @ The high priests and the Pharisees had given orders that, if any one knew where he was, he should report it so that they might arrest him.

riversident@John:12:2 @ There they made a dinner for him. Martha waited on them, and Lazarus was one of those who reclined at table with him.

riversident@John:12:3 @ Mary took a pound of pure nard perfume, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

riversident@John:12:5 @ "Why was not this perfume sold for three hundred shillings and the money given to the poor?"

riversident@John:12:6 @ He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and having the purse used to pilfer what was put into it.

riversident@John:12:9 @ A great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not on account of Jesus alone, but also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.

riversident@John:12:11 @ because many of the Jews on account of him went and believed in Jesus.

riversident@John:12:13 @ took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, "God save him! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord \'97 the King of Israel!"

riversident@John:12:16 @ These things his disciples did not understand at first, but when Jesus had been glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written of him and had been done to him.

riversident@John:12:17 @ The people that were with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead were bearing witness to it.

riversident@John:12:40 @ "He has blinded their eyes and dulled their mind so that they may not see with their eyes nor understand with their mind and repent so that I should heal them."

riversident@John:13:3 @ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands and that he had come from God and was going to God,

riversident@John:13:4 @ rose from supper and laid aside his upper garments and took a towel and put it around him.

riversident@John:13:5 @ Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel he had around him.

riversident@John:13:24 @ Simon Peter nodded to him and said, "Say who it is that he is speaking of."

riversident@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered, When he had dipped the bread, he took it and gave it to Judas the son of Simon Iscariot.

riversident@John:14:8 @ Philip said to him, "Master, show us the Father and we shall be satisfied."

riversident@John:16:19 @ Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them,

riversident@John:16:29 @ His disciples said, "See, now you are speaking plainly and are using no figures.

riversident@John:16:30 @ Now we know that you know all things and that you have no need to have any one question you. From this we believe that you have come forth from God."

riversident@John:17:1 @ THESE words spoke Jesus, and lifted his eyes to heaven and said,

riversident@John:18:3 @ So Judas, getting a battalion of soldiers and some subordinate officers of the high priests and the Pharisees, came there with torches and lamps and weapons.

riversident@John:18:4 @ Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, came forward and said to them,

riversident@John:18:6 @ When he said to them, they moved backward and fell to the ground.

riversident@John:18:10 @ Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck a servant of the High Priest, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

riversident@John:18:12 @ So the battalion and the Tribune and the Jewish policemen arrested Jesus and bound him

riversident@John:18:13 @ and took him first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.

riversident@John:18:15 @ Simon Peter was following Jesus and so was another disciple. That disciple was known to the High Priest and he went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest.

riversident@John:18:16 @ Peter stood by the gate outside. The other disciple, who was known to the High Priest, went out and spoke to the girl at the door and brought in Peter.

riversident@John:18:18 @ The servants and policemen were standing there. They had made a fire, for it was cold, and were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.

riversident@John:18:19 @ The High Priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

riversident@John:18:25 @ Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, "Are not you also one of his disciples?" He denied it and said, "I am not."

riversident@John:18:27 @ Again Peter denied, and immediately a cock crowed.

riversident@John:18:29 @ Pilate went out to them and said, "What charge do you bring against this man?"

riversident@John:18:31 @ Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put any one to death."

riversident@John:18:33 @ Pilate entered the Castle again and called Jesus and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

riversident@John:18:35 @ Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your nation and the high priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?"

riversident@John:18:38 @ Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" After saying this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, "I find no crime in him.

riversident@John:19:1 @ THEN Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.

riversident@John:19:2 @ The soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and placed it on his head, threw around him a purple cloak,

riversident@John:19:3 @ and kept coming up to him and saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and slapping him.

riversident@John:19:4 @ Pilate went out again and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no crime in him."

riversident@John:19:5 @ Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple cloak. Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!"

riversident@John:19:6 @ When the high priests and their subordinates saw him, they shouted, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said, "You take him and crucify him. For I find no crime in him."

riversident@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered, "We have a law and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."

riversident@John:19:9 @ and went into the Castle and said to Jesus, "Where do you come from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.

riversident@John:19:10 @ Pilate said to him, "Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?"

riversident@John:19:13 @ Pilate, on hearing these words, brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge's seat in the place called the Mosaic Pavement \'97 in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

riversident@John:19:17 @ and laid on him his cross and went out to what is called Skull Place \'97 in Hebrew, Golgotha \'97

riversident@John:19:18 @...where they crucified him. And with...

riversident@John:19:19 @ Pilate wrote a sign and put it up on the cross. It was written:

riversident@John:19:20 @ Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

riversident@John:19:23 @ The soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes and made four parts, a part to each soldier, and there was his tunic besides. The tunic was seamless, woven from the top entire.

riversident@John:19:24 @ They said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots who shall have it." This was so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "They parted my garments among them and on my clothing they cast lots." The soldiers did this.

riversident@John:19:25 @ There were standing beside the cross of Jesus his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

riversident@John:19:26 @ When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother,

riversident@John:19:30 @ When Jesus had taken the sour wine, he said, and bowing his head gave up his spirit.

riversident@John:19:32 @ So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was crucified with him.

riversident@John:19:34 @ But one of the soldiers with his spear pierced his side and immediately there came forth blood and water.

riversident@John:19:35 @ He who saw it has borne witness and his witness is true, and he knows that he speaks the truth in order that you may believe.

riversident@John:19:37 @ And again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they have pierced."

riversident@John:19:38 @ After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate permission to carry away the body of Jesus, and Pilate granted it. So he came and carried his body away.

riversident@John:19:39 @ Nicodemus, the man who came to him at first by night, came also bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.

riversident@John:19:40 @ They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the custom of the Jews in preparing for burial.

riversident@John:19:41 @ There was in the place where he had been crucified a garden and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had been laid.

riversident@John:20:1 @ ON the first day of the week, early in the morning while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been taken from the tomb.

riversident@John:20:2 @ She ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Master from the tomb and we do not know where they have laid him."

riversident@John:20:3 @ Simon Peter and the other disciple went out and made their way to the tomb.

riversident@John:20:4 @ They were both running, and the other disciple outran Peter and came first to the tomb,

riversident@John:20:5 @ and stooping he saw the linen cloths lying; but he did not enter.

riversident@John:20:6 @ Simon Peter came following him and entered the tomb and looked at the linen cloths lying

riversident@John:20:7 @ and the handkerchief that had been about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place apart.

riversident@John:20:8 @ Then the other disciple who had come first to the tomb entered, and he saw and believed.

riversident@John:20:11 @ Mary was standing by the tomb outside weeping. As she wept she stooped and looked into the tomb

riversident@John:20:12 @ and saw two angels in white sitting one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had lain.

riversident@John:20:13 @ They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have carried away my Master and I do not know where they have laid him."

riversident@John:20:14 @ After saying this, she turned and saw Jesus standing, but did not recognize that it was Jesus.

riversident@John:20:15 @ Jesus said to her, She, thinking that he was the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have removed him, tell me where you have laid him and I will take him away."

riversident@John:20:16 @ Jesus said to her, She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (note:)that is, Teacher(:note).

riversident@John:20:18 @ Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples, "I have seen the Master," and she told that he had said these things to her.

riversident@John:20:19 @ In the evening of that day, the first day of the week, when the doors had been closed where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said to them,

riversident@John:20:20 @ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy on seeing the Master.

riversident@John:20:22 @ When he had said this, he breathed on them and said,

riversident@John:20:25 @ The other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Master." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it."

riversident@John:20:26 @ After eight days the disciples were again within and Thomas was with them. Jesus came and stood in the midst and said,

riversident@John:20:28 @ Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"

riversident@John:20:31 @ But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life through his name.

riversident@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said, "We will go along with you." They went out and got into a boat, but that night they caught nothing.

riversident@John:21:6 @ He said to them, They cast, and now they could not draw it in for the multitude of fishes.

riversident@John:21:7 @ That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Master!" Simon Peter, on hearing that it was the Master, girded around him his blouse, for he was naked, and threw himself into the lake.

riversident@John:21:9 @ When they had gotten out on land, they saw a fire of coals and fish laid on it and bread.

riversident@John:21:11 @ Simon Peter got into the boat and drew the net to land full of big fishes \'97 a hundred and fifty-three \'97 and though there were so many the net was not torn.

riversident@John:21:13 @ Jesus came and took bread and gave to them, and fish in the same manner.

riversident@John:21:17 @ He said to him the third time, Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, and he said to him, "Master, you know all things. You know that I love you." Jesus said to him,

riversident@John:21:20 @ Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved, following. (note:)It was he who at the supper had leaned on Jesus' breast and said, "Lord, who is it that will betray you? "(:note)

riversident@John:21:24 @ This is the disciple who witnesses to these things and who wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

riversident@Acts:1:1 @ IN my first book, Theophilus, I told of all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning

riversident@Acts:1:3 @ By many proofs he revealed himself to these men as still alive after his sufferings; for he was seen by them for forty days and spoke of things relating to the kingdom of God.

riversident@Acts:1:9 @ He said this and then, while they were looking on, he was taken up and a cloud lifted him from their sight.

riversident@Acts:1:11 @ and said, "Men of Galilee, why are you standing and looking up into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way that you have seen him go into heaven."

riversident@Acts:2:47 @ praising God and having favor with all the people. The Lord added daily to their number those who were being saved.

riversident@Acts:3:1 @ PETER and John were going up into the Temple courts at the hour of prayer, three o'clock,

riversident@Acts:3:3 @ Seeing Peter and John about to go into the Temple courts, he begged to receive something.

riversident@Acts:3:6 @ But Peter said, "Silver and gold I have not; but what I have I will give you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk."

riversident@Acts:3:7 @ Grasping his right hand he lifted him up. Immediately his feet and ankles became strong,

riversident@Acts:3:8 @ and he sprang up and stood and walked and entered the Temple court with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

riversident@Acts:3:9 @ All the people saw him walking about and praising God,

riversident@Acts:3:10 @ and when they recognized that it was he who had sat begging at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple court, they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

riversident@Acts:3:11 @ While he still clung to Peter and John, all the people ran crowding around them in what was called Solomon's Colonnade, greatly astonished.

riversident@Acts:3:13 @ The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus whom you delivered up and disowned before Pilate when he had decided to release him.

riversident@Acts:3:14 @ You disowned the holy and righteous one and begged to have a murderer granted you.

riversident@Acts:3:16 @ And now by faith in his name this man whom you see and know has been made strong by his name, and the faith that is through him has given this man this perfect soundness before you all.

riversident@Acts:3:19 @ Therefore, repent and turn about, that your sins may be wiped away and the gracious face of the Lord may bring times of refreshing,

riversident@Acts:3:20 @ and he may send Jesus Christ, long ago appointed,

riversident@Acts:4:3 @ They laid hands on them and placed them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.

riversident@Acts:4:4 @ But many of those who had heard the message believed, and the number of the men grew to be about five thousand.

riversident@Acts:4:5 @ On the next day there was a gathering of their rulers and elders and scribes in Jerusalem,

riversident@Acts:4:6 @ with Annas the High Priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander and all who were of high priestly race.

riversident@Acts:4:7 @ They placed the apostles in the midst and asked them, "By what power and in what name did you do this?"

riversident@Acts: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, judge for yourselves.

riversident@Acts:4:20 @ We, for our part, cannot refrain from saying what we have seen and heard."

riversident@Acts:4:23 @ The apostles upon being released came to their friends and told them all that the high priests and the elders had said.

riversident@Acts:4:24 @ They hearing it unitedly lifted up their prayer to God and said, "O Lord, thou who didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things that are in them,

riversident@Acts:4:31 @ After this prayer the place in which they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the message of God with courageous freedom.

riversident@Acts:4:32 @ The multitude of those who had believed was of one heart and one soul, and no one said that any part of his property was his own, but they had all things in common.

riversident@Acts:4:34 @ Nor was any one in need among them, for all who were owners of lands or houses would sell them and bring the money for what had been sold

riversident@Acts:5:9 @ Peter said to her, "Why was it agreed between you to test the Spirit of the Lord? Even now the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."

riversident@Acts:5:10 @ Immediately she fell down at his feet and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

riversident@Acts:5:11 @ Great awe came upon the whole church and upon all who heard these things.

riversident@Acts:5:12 @ Many signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the apostles. They were all with one purpose in Solomon's Colonnade.

riversident@Acts:5:14 @ Believers in the Lord were more and more being added, crowds both of men and of women,

riversident@Acts:5:15 @ so that they carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on couches and pallets with the hope that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some one of them.

riversident@Acts:5:16 @ A crowd was coming too from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were troubled by impure spirits, and these were all being healed.

riversident@Acts:5:17 @ But the High Priest and all his party \'97 the sect of the Sadducees \'97 became aroused and filled with indignation,

riversident@Acts:5:18 @ and laid hands on the apostles and put them into the public jail.

riversident@Acts:5:19 @ But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors in the night and led them out and said,

riversident@Acts:5:20 @ "Go, stand and speak to the people in the Temple courts all the words of this life."

riversident@Acts:5:21 @ On hearing this they went into the Temple courts about daybreak and began teaching. When the High Priest and his party arrived, they called together the Council and all the eldership of the children of Israel and sent to the jail to have the men brought.

riversident@Acts:5:22 @ But when the officers came there they did not find them in the prison. They returned and reported,

riversident@Acts:5:23 @ "We found the prison shut with all security and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened we found no one inside."

riversident@Acts:5:24 @ On hearing these words the commandant of the Temple and the high priests were at a loss as to what this would grow into.

riversident@Acts:5:25 @ Then some one came and told them, "The men whom you put in jail are standing in the Temple courts and teaching the people."

riversident@Acts:5:26 @ Then the commandant with his subordinates went and brought them, but without violence, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people.

riversident@Acts:5:27 @ They brought them in and made them stand before the Council. The High Priest asked them,

riversident@Acts:5:28 @...teach in this name? And here...

riversident@Acts:5:31 @ God has exalted him as Leader and Savior at his own right hand to give to Israel change of heart and forgiveness of sins.

riversident@Acts:5:32 @ We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit which God has given to those who obey him."

riversident@Acts:5:33 @ On hearing this they became furious and wanted to kill them.

riversident@Acts:5:36 @ For before these days arose Theudas, professing to be somebody. A number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves to him. But he was slain and all who followed him were scattered and came to naught.

riversident@Acts:5:37 @ After him arose Judas the Galilean, in the days of the Census, and led away people after him. He too perished, and all who followed him were scattered.

riversident@Acts:5:38 @ And now I advise you to keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or work is of men it will collapse,

riversident@Acts:5:40 @ They were persuaded by him. So they called in the apostles and gave them a flogging and ordered them not to go on speaking in the name of Jesus, and then set them at liberty;

riversident@Acts:5:42 @ And every day in the Temple courts and from house to house they unceasingly taught and told the good news of Jesus the Christ.

riversident@Acts:6:2 @ Then the twelve called the body of disciples together and said, "We do not wish to leave the message of God and wait on tables.

riversident@Acts:6:3 @ Therefore, brethren, pick out seven men from among you, men of reputation, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, and we will appoint them to look after this need.

riversident@Acts:6:4 @ But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the service of the message."

riversident@Acts:6:5 @ This proposal pleased the whole body. So 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 from Antioch.

riversident@Acts:6:7 @ The message of God continued to spread and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly, and even a great body of the priests were obedient to the faith.

riversident@Acts:6:8 @ Stephen, full of grace and of power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people.

riversident@Acts:6:9 @ But certain persons from what was called the synagogue of the Libyans and Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and some from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputed with Stephen;

riversident@Acts:6:10 @ yet they could not hold their own against the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.

riversident@Acts:6:11 @ Then they got some men to say, "We have heard him speaking profane words against Moses and against God."

riversident@Acts:6:12 @ They excited the people and the elders and the scribes, and coming suddenly upon Stephen they arrested him and led him to the Council.

riversident@Acts:6:13 @ There they put forward false witnesses who said, "This man never ceases saying things against this holy place and the law.

riversident@Acts:6:14 @ We have heard him say that this Jesus, the Nazarene, will destroy this place and will change the customs that Moses handed down to us."

riversident@Acts:7:2 @ Stephen said: "Brethren and Fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,

riversident@Acts:7:3 @ and said to him, 'Leave your land and your kindred and go into whatever land I shall show you.'

riversident@Acts:7:4 @ Then he came out from the land of the Chaldaeans and settled in Haran. From there, after the death of his father, God removed him into this land in which you now live,

riversident@Acts:7:5 @ but he did not give him any inheritance in it, not even a foot of it. Still he promised to give it as a possession to him and to his descendants after him, though at that time he had no child.

riversident@Acts:7:6 @ God spoke thus, 'His descendants will sojourn in a land not their own, and they will be enslaved and maltreated four hundred years.'

riversident@Acts:7:7 @ And God said, 'That nation by which they are enslaved I will judge, and after that they shall come out and serve me in this place.'

riversident@Acts:7:8 @ God gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham circumcised his son Isaac on the eighth day, and Isaac circumcised his son Jacob, and Jacob circumcised his sons, the twelve patriarchs.

riversident@Acts:7:10 @ and delivered him out of all his trials, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him governor over the land of Egypt and all his own house.

riversident@Acts:7:11 @ Then there came a famine over all Egypt and Canaan, and great distress, and our fathers found no food.

riversident@Acts:7:13 @ On their second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph's family was made known to Pharaoh.

riversident@Acts:7:14 @ Then Joseph sent and invited down Jacob his father and all his relatives, seventy-five persons,

riversident@Acts:7:22 @ Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was strong in words and in deeds.

riversident@Acts:7:24 @ Seeing one of them being wronged, he defended him and did justice for the injured man by striking down the Egyptian.

riversident@Acts:7:26 @ On the next day Moses appeared when two of them were fighting, and tried to make peace between them, saying, 'Men, you are brethren. Why are you injuring each other?'

riversident@Acts:7:27 @ But he who was injuring his neighbor pushed him away, saying, 'Who appointed you a ruler and judge over us?

riversident@Acts:7:39 @ Our fathers would not obey him, but thrust him away and turned back in their hearts toward Egypt,

riversident@Acts:7:41 @ And they made the image of a calf in those days and brought sacrifices to the idol and rejoiced in the work of their own hands.

riversident@Acts:7:42 @ So God turned and gave them up to worship the stars of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets, 'Did you offer to me slaughtered animals and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

riversident@Acts:7:43 @ No, you carried the tent of Moloch and the star of the god Rephan, the images that you made for worship. Therefore I will remove you beyond Babylon.'

riversident@Acts:7:45 @ This Tent our fathers who were with Joshua received in their turn and brought into the land of the nations whom God drove out from before our fathers, and it remained until the days of David.

riversident@Acts:7:46 @ He found favor with God and prayed that he might provide a temple for the house of Israel.

riversident@Acts:7:56 @ and he said, "I see heaven opened and the Son of Man standing at God's right hand!"

riversident@Acts:7:57 @ With a great shout they stopped their ears and rushed upon him with one purpose,

riversident@Acts:7:58 @ and hurried him out of the city and stoned him. The witnesses laid down their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul.

riversident@Acts:7:59 @ They stoned Stephen as he was praying and saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."

riversident@Acts:8:1 @ SAUL also approved of their putting him to death. On that day arose a great persecution of the church in Jerusalem. All except the apostles were scattered through Judaea and Samaria.

riversident@Acts:8:2 @ Pious men carried Stephen away for burial and made great lamentation over him.

riversident@Acts:8:3 @ Saul cruelly hounded the church from house to house, entering and dragging out men and women and handing them over into prison.

riversident@Acts:8:5 @ Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed the Christ to them.

riversident@Acts:8:6 @ The crowds with one mind gave attention to what was said by Philip, listening to his words and seeing the signs that he did.

riversident@Acts:8:7 @ For impure spirits came out shrieking from many who had been possessed, and many paralytic and lame people were healed.

riversident@Acts:8:9 @ A certain man named Simon had previously been practicing magic in the city and astonishing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one.

riversident@Acts:8:12 @ But when they believed Philip, who was telling the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

riversident@Acts:8:13 @ Simon himself also believed and was baptized and attached himself to Philip, and seeing the signs and great miracles that took place he was astonished.

riversident@Acts:8:14 @ When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the message of God, they sent to them Peter and John.

riversident@Acts:8:17 @ Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Acts:8:22 @ Repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray the Lord that, if possible, the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.

riversident@Acts:8:23 @ For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and the fetters of unrighteousness."

riversident@Acts:8:25 @ So when they had borne their testimony and had spoken the message of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, telling the good news in many villages of the Samaritans.

riversident@Acts:8:26 @ An angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Arise and go south-ward on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, the road through the desert."

riversident@Acts:8:27 @ He arose and went. Now there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of high rank under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over her treasury. He had been to Jerusalem to worship

riversident@Acts:8:28 @ and was on his return, sitting in his chariot and reading the prophet Isaiah.

riversident@Acts:8:29 @ The Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join this chariot."

riversident@Acts:8:30 @ Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"

riversident@Acts:8:31 @ He said, "How can I without some one to guide me?" He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.

riversident@Acts:8:32 @ The passage of Scripture that he was reading was, "He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, so he did not open his mouth.

riversident@Acts:8:35 @ Philip opened his mouth and beginning with that Scripture told him the good news about Jesus.

riversident@Acts:8:36 @ As they were going along the road they came to water, and the eunuch said, "Here is water. What is there to hinder my being baptized?"

riversident@Acts:8:38 @ He ordered the chariot to stop and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

riversident@Acts:8:39 @ When they had come up out of the water, the Spirit caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more. He went on his way rejoicing.

riversident@Acts:8:40 @ But Philip found himself at Azotus, and passing through all the cities he told the good news until he came to Casarea.

riversident@Acts:9:1 @ SAUL was still breathing out threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord. He went to the High Priest

riversident@Acts:9:2 @ and asked from him letters to the synagogues in Damascus, that if he should find any persons who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

riversident@Acts:9:4 @ He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him,

riversident@Acts:9:8 @ Saul rose from the earth and opened his eyes, but he could see nothing. Taking him by the hand they led him into Damascus,

riversident@Acts:9:9 @ and he was three days without seeing, and neither ate nor drank.

riversident@Acts:9:14 @ and here he has authority from the high priests to bind all who call upon thy name."

riversident@Acts:9:17 @ Ananias went and entered the house and put his hands on Saul, and said, "Brother Saul, the Lord has sent me \'97 Jesus who appeared to you on the road as you were coming \'97 that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

riversident@Acts:9:18 @ Immediately scales seemed to fall from his eyes and he could see, and he arose and was baptized,

riversident@Acts:9:19 @ and after taking food he regained his strength. Saul passed some days with the disciples who were in Damascus,

riversident@Acts:9:20 @ and at once he began to proclaim in the synagogues that Jesus was the Son of God.

riversident@Acts:9:21 @ All who heard him were astonished and said, "Is not this the man who in Jerusalem persecuted those who call on this name, and who came here for the very purpose of binding and taking them to the high priests?"

riversident@Acts:9:22 @ But Saul grew stronger and put to confusion the Jews who lived at Damascus, as he proved that this man was the Christ.

riversident@Acts:9:24 @ but this became known to Saul. They watched the gates day and night to seize him.

riversident@Acts:9:25 @ But the disciples took him at night and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket.

riversident@Acts:9:27 @ But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road and how the Lord had spoken to him, and how courageously he had spoken in Damascus in the name of Jesus.

riversident@Acts:9:28 @ After that Saul was with them in Jerusalem, going out and in

riversident@Acts:9:29 @ and speaking freely in the name of the Lord. He frequently spoke and debated with the Greek-speaking Jews. But they kept trying to put him out of the way.

riversident@Acts:9:30 @ When the brethren learned of it, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.

riversident@Acts:9:31 @ So the church had peace throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and was built up, and advancing in the reverence of the Lord and by the encouragement of the Holy Spirit grew continually in numbers.

riversident@Acts:9:34 @ Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ is healing you. Rise up and make your bed." Immediately he arose.

riversident@Acts:9:35 @ All who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

riversident@Acts:9:36 @ In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (note:)in Greek Dorcas, Gazelle(:note). She abounded in good works and acts of kindness which she was accustomed to do.

riversident@Acts:9:37 @ It happened at that time that she fell sick and died. They bathed her and laid her out in an upper room.

riversident@Acts:9:38 @ Since Lydda was near to Joppa and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him begging him, "Do not delay to come on down to us."

riversident@Acts:9:39 @ Peter arose and went along with them. On his arrival they took him up to the room. All of the widows came around him wailing and showing the tunics and cloaks that Dorcas had made while she was with them.

riversident@Acts:9:40 @ Peter sent them all out and kneeling down he prayed. Then turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, rise." She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.

riversident@Acts:9:41 @ Giving her his hand he raised her to her feet. Then calling the holy and the widows he presented her to them alive.

riversident@Acts:9:42 @ This became known through all Joppa and many believed in the Lord.

riversident@Acts:10:2 @ He was a pious man, reverencing God with all his household, doing many acts of charity to the people and praying to God constantly.

riversident@Acts:10:3 @ About three o'clock one afternoon he saw plainly in a vision an angel come in and say to him, "Cornelius."

riversident@Acts:10:4 @ He gazed at him in alarm and asked, "What is it, my Lord?" The angel said to him, "Your prayers and your gifts of charity have come up as an evidence before God.

riversident@Acts:10:5 @ Now send men to Joppa and ask for a man named Simon, who is called Peter.

riversident@Acts:10:7 @ When the angel who had been speaking to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a pious soldier of those who were attached to him,

riversident@Acts:10:9 @ On the next day, while they were on the road and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray. It was about noon.

riversident@Acts:10:10 @ He began to feel hungry and wished to eat. While they were preparing food, he fell into a trance

riversident@Acts:10:11 @ and saw the heavens opened and something descending like a great sheet being let down to the ground by the four corners.

riversident@Acts:10:12 @ In it were all kinds of fourfooted animals and reptiles and birds of the air.

riversident@Acts:10:16 @ This happened a third time, and then immediately the sheet was taken up into the heavens.

riversident@Acts:10:17 @ Peter was thinking this over and was at a loss what the vision meant. Just then the men who had been sent by Cornelius, after inquiring for the house of Simon, came to the door

riversident@Acts:10:18 @ and called to know whether Simon called Peter was a guest there.

riversident@Acts:10:20 @ Rise and go down and go with them without misgivings, for I have sent them."

riversident@Acts:10:24 @ On the following day they came to Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had assembled his relatives and his close friends.

riversident@Acts:10:25 @ As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and falling at his feet did him reverence.

riversident@Acts:10:27 @ Conversing with him Peter entered the house and found many people assembled.

riversident@Acts:10:39 @ We are witnesses of all that he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They hung him on a cross and so killed him.

riversident@Acts:10:40 @ But God raised him up on the third day and granted that he should become visible,

riversident@Acts:10:41 @ not to all the people, but to witnesses previously chosen by God, namely, to us who ate and drank with him after his resurrection from the dead.

riversident@Acts:10:42 @ God commanded us to proclaim to the people and to testify that he is the divinely appointed Judge of the living and the dead.

riversident@Acts:10:46 @ for they heard them speaking with tongues and glorifying God. Then Peter said,

riversident@Acts:10:48 @ And he directed that they should be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain there a few days.

riversident@Acts:11:1 @ THE apostles and the brethren throughout Judaea heard that the Gentiles also had received the message of God.

riversident@Acts:11:3 @ saying, "You went into the houses of uncircumcised men and ate with them."

riversident@Acts:11:4 @ But Peter began and explained consecutively all that had happened. He said,

riversident@Acts:11:5 @ "I was in the city of Joppa and was praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. Something like a great sheet was descending, lowered from heaven by the four corners, and it came to where I was.

riversident@Acts:11:6 @ I looked at it attentively and saw the fourfooted animals of the earth and the wild beasts and the reptiles and the birds of the air.

riversident@Acts:11:10 @ This happened three times and then everything was drawn up again into heaven.

riversident@Acts:11:12 @ The Spirit directed me to go with them without any questioning. These six brethren also went with me, and we entered the man's house.

riversident@Acts:11:13 @ He related to us how he had seen in his house an angel who stood and said, 'Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter.

riversident@Acts:11:14 @ He will speak to you words by which you and your whole household will be saved.'

riversident@Acts:11:16 @ and I remembered the words of the Lord how he said,

riversident@Acts:11:18 @ On hearing this they ceased their criticism and gave glory to God, saying, "Then even to the Gentiles God has granted the change of heart that leads to life."

riversident@Acts:11:19 @ Those who were scattered abroad by the persecution that arose in connection with Stephen went as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, telling the message to none but Jews.

riversident@Acts:11:20 @ Some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, and they on reaching Antioch spoke also to the Greeks, telling them the good news of the Lord Jesus.

riversident@Acts:11:21 @ The hand of the Lord was with them, and a large number believed and turned to the Lord.

riversident@Acts:11:22 @ Word came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem regarding these men, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

riversident@Acts:11:23 @ When he arrived and saw the grace of God he was delighted, and he encouraged all to be firmly faithful to the Lord.

riversident@Acts:11:24 @ For he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. A considerable number were added to the Lord.

riversident@Acts:11:26 @ and upon finding him he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a large company, and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called "Christians."

riversident@Acts:11:28 @ One of them named Agabus arose and foretold through the Holy Spirit that a great famine was going to occur over all the inhabited world. (note:)It happened in the time of Claudius.(:note)

riversident@Acts:11:30 @ This they did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

riversident@Acts:12:4 @ He seized him and put him in prison, committing him to four guards of four soldiers each for safe keeping, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.

riversident@Acts:12:6 @ On the very night before Herod was going to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers bound with two chains, and guards before the door were watching the prison.

riversident@Acts:12:8 @ The angel said to him, "Put on your belt and your sandals." Peter did so. The angel said to him, "Throw your cloak around you and follow me."

riversident@Acts:12:9 @ Peter came out and followed along, not knowing whether what the angel was doing was real. He thought he was seeing a vision.

riversident@Acts:12:10 @ After passing the first guard and the second, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city. This opened for them of its own accord and they went out and went along one street. Then suddenly the angel left him.

riversident@Acts:12:11 @ When Peter came to himself, he said, "Now I know truly that the Lord has sent his angel and has delivered me out of the hands of Herod, and from all the expectation of the Jewish people."

riversident@Acts:12:12 @ So understanding the situation, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John called Mark, where a number were assembled and were praying.

riversident@Acts:12:14 @ and when she recognized Peter's voice, without opening the door, she ran for joy and told them that Peter was standing at the door.

riversident@Acts:12:16 @ Peter continued knocking. When they opened the door and saw him they were amazed.

riversident@Acts:12:17 @ He motioned to them with his hand to be silent, and explained to them how the Lord had delivered him out of the prison, and he said, "Tell this to James and the brethren." Then he left and went to a different place.

riversident@Acts:12:19 @ Herod searched for him, but not finding him he closely questioned the guards and ordered them to be led away to execution. Then he went down from Jerusalem to Caesarea and stayed there.

riversident@Acts:12:20 @ Herod had a bitter feud with the Tyrians and Sidonians. But they came to him with one mind, and having won over Blastus, the King's chamberlain, they begged for peace, because their country depended for its food supply on the King's country.

riversident@Acts:12:21 @ On an appointed day Herod in his royal robes sat on a platform and made an address to them.

riversident@Acts:12:23 @ Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give the glory to God, and he was eaten by worms and expired.

riversident@Acts:12:24 @ But God's message grew and spread.

riversident@Acts:12:25 @ Barnabas and Saul after fulfilling their mission returned from Jerusalem, bringing along with them John, surnamed Mark.

riversident@Acts:13:1 @ THERE were in Antioch among the members of the church several prophets and teachers \'97 Barnabas, and Symeon, who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene and Manaen (note:)a companion in childhood of Prince Herod(:note) and Saul.

riversident@Acts:13:2 @ As they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."

riversident@Acts:13:3 @ Then, after fasting and praying and laying their hands upon them, they sent them off.

riversident@Acts:13:4 @ Sent out in this way by the Holy Spirit, Barnabas and Saul went down to Seleucia and from there sailed for Cyprus.

riversident@Acts:13:6 @ After passing through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came across a Jewish magician and false prophet, named Bar-Jesus,

riversident@Acts:13:7 @ who was in the company of the Proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. The Proconsul invited in Barnabas and Saul and desired to hear God's message.

riversident@Acts:13:10 @ and said, "You who are full of every kind of fraud, you son of the Devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you never stop perverting the straight paths of the Lord?

riversident@Acts:13:11 @ And now the hand of the Lord is upon you and you will be blind for a time, unable to see the sun." Immediately a dimness and darkness fell on him, and he went about seeking for people to lead him by the hand.

riversident@Acts:13:13 @ Sailing away from Paphos, Paul and his companions came to Perga in Pamphylia. John left them there and returned to Jerusalem.

riversident@Acts:13:14 @ But they went on from Perga and came to Antioch in Pisidia. On the Sabbath they went into the synagogue and sat down.

riversident@Acts:13:15 @ After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue directors sent to them saying, "Brethren, if you have any word of encouragement for the people, speak it."

riversident@Acts:13:16 @ Paul rose and motioning with his hand said, "Israelites and you who reverence God, listen.

riversident@Acts:13:31 @ and he appeared for many days to those who had gone up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to all the people.

riversident@Acts:13:34 @ And as to his raising him from the dead, never to return to decay, he spoke thus; 'I will give you the holy and sure promises made to David.'

riversident@Acts:13:36 @ For David after serving the will of God in his own generation fell asleep and was laid with his fathers and saw decay.

riversident@Acts:13:41 @ 'See, you disdainful ones, and wonder and perish; for I am working a work in your days \'97 a work which you will not believe even if some one fully explains it to you.' "

riversident@Acts:13:42 @ As Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people begged that these words might be spoken to them on the next Sabbath.

riversident@Acts:13:43 @ After the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and of the pious converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked to them and endeavored to persuade them to hold fast to the grace of God.

riversident@Acts:13:45 @ But the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with anger and kept speaking in abusive language against what was said by Paul.

riversident@Acts:13:46 @ Then Paul and Barnabas said with fearless plainness, "The message of God had to be spoken first to you. But since you thrust it away and do not judge yourselves worthy of life eternal \'97 now, we turn to the Gentiles.

riversident@Acts:13:48 @ When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the message of the Lord, and all who were predestined to life eternal believed.

riversident@Acts:13:50 @ But the Jews stirred up the pious women of high standing and the leading men of the city, and started a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them from their boundaries.

riversident@Acts:13:51 @ They shook off the dust of their feet as a protest against them, and came to Iconium.

riversident@Acts:13:52 @ The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Acts:14:1 @ IN Iconium Paul and Barnabas went in the same way into the synagogue and spoke so that a large number both of Jews and of Greeks believed.

riversident@Acts:14:2 @ But the unbelieving Jews excited and embittered the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.

riversident@Acts:14:3 @ Therefore the apostles spent considerable time speaking freely and fearlessly in reliance upon the Lord, who bore witness to his gracious message by permitting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

riversident@Acts:14:4 @ The people of the city became divided; some were with the Jews and some with the apostles.

riversident@Acts:14:5 @ But when there was a rush made by the Gentiles and the Jews, along with their rulers, to hustle them and stone them,

riversident@Acts:14:6 @ the apostles learned of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding country,

riversident@Acts:14:7 @ and there they went on telling the good news.

riversident@Acts:14:8 @ In Lystra there was a man sitting who was powerless in his feet. He had been lame from his mother's womb and never had walked.

riversident@Acts:14:10 @ said in a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet." He sprang up and walked about.

riversident@Acts:14:11 @ When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in Lycaonian, "The gods have taken human form and come down to us."

riversident@Acts:14:12 @ They called Barnabas Zeus and Paul Hermes, because he was the principal speaker.

riversident@Acts:14:13 @ Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of the city, brought bulls and garlands to the gates, followed by the crowds, and intended to offer sacrifice.

riversident@Acts:14:14 @ But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they rent their garments and sprang into the crowd, crying out,

riversident@Acts:14:15 @ "Men, why are you doing this? We too are men with the same weaknesses that you have. We are bringing you the good news that you are to turn from these foolish things to the living God, who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all things that are in them.

riversident@Acts:14:17 @ though he did not leave himself without evidence, for he did you good and gave rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness."

riversident@Acts:14:19 @ But Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds, and they stoned Paul and dragged him outside of the city, thinking that he was dead.

riversident@Acts:14:20 @ But when the disciples gathered around him he rose up and reentered the city. On the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.

riversident@Acts:14:21 @ Telling the good news in that city they made a number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra and Iconium and Antioch,

riversident@Acts:14:22 @ reassuring the minds of the disciples and encouraging them to be steadfast in the faith, saying, "Through many trials we must enter into the kingdom of God."

riversident@Acts:14:23 @ They appointed elders for them in every church, and after prayer and fasting committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

riversident@Acts:14:24 @ They passed through Pisidia and came into Pamphylia.

riversident@Acts:14:27 @ Upon their arrival they assembled the church and narrated all that God, working with them, had done, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

riversident@Acts:15:1 @ BUT certain men came down from Judaea and undertook to teach the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."

riversident@Acts:15:2 @ Since no little dissension and controversy arose between Paul and Barnabas and these men, it was arranged that Paul and Barnabas and some others of them should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.

riversident@Acts:15:3 @ So they were sent on by the church and passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles, which caused great joy to all the brethren.

riversident@Acts:15:4 @ On their arrival in Jerusalem they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they narrated all that God, working with them, had done.

riversident@Acts:15:5 @ Then some of the party of the Pharisees, who had become believers, rose and said, "We must circumcise them and tell them to keep the Law of Moses."

riversident@Acts:15:6 @ The apostles and elders met to confer about this matter.

riversident@Acts:15:7 @ After there had been much debate, Peter rose and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in early days God chose among you that through my mouth the Gentiles should hear the message of good news and should believe.

riversident@Acts:15:8 @ And God, who knows all hearts, bore witness to them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us.

riversident@Acts:15:9 @ He made no difference between us and them in cleansing their hearts by faith.

riversident@Acts:15:12 @ The whole assembly remained silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul relating all the signs and wonders that God had done through them among the Gentiles.

riversident@Acts:15:14 @ Symeon has told how first God graciously visited the Gentiles and took a people for his name.

riversident@Acts:15:22 @ Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to select men from themselves and to send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, men esteemed among the brethren.

riversident@Acts:15:23 @ They wrote and sent by their hands the following letter: "The Apostles and the Brethren who are elders, to the Brethren from the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: Greeting.

riversident@Acts:15:25 @ it seemed good, after unanimous agreement, to select some men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

riversident@Acts:15:27 @ We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who will tell you orally the same things.

riversident@Acts:15:28 @ For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no further burden than these necessary things:

riversident@Acts:15:29 @ to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from strangled things, and from unchastity. If you keep yourselves from these you will do well. Farewell."

riversident@Acts:15:30 @ So they were sent away and went down to Antioch, where they called together the whole body and delivered over the letter.

riversident@Acts:15:32 @ Both Judas and Silas, being themselves prophets, encouraged and confirmed the brethren by long addresses.

riversident@Acts:15:35 @ Paul and Barnabas stayed on in Antioch teaching and telling, in association with many others, the good news of the Lord's message.

riversident@Acts:15:36 @ After some time Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us go back and visit the brethren in every city in which we made known the Lord's message, and see how they are prospering."

riversident@Acts:15:38 @ But Paul did not approve of taking him along, since he had left them in Pamphylia and had not gone on with them into the work.

riversident@Acts:15:39 @ Such a difference of feeling resulted that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark and sailed away to Cyprus.

riversident@Acts:15:40 @ Paul selected Silas and left, after being commended to the grace of the Lord by the brethren.

riversident@Acts:15:41 @ They went through Syria and Cilicia strengthening the churches.

riversident@Acts:16:1 @ THEY came to Derbe and Lystra. At Lystra there was a disciple named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman, who was a believer, and of a Greek father.

riversident@Acts:16:2 @ He had a good reputation among the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.

riversident@Acts:16:3 @ Paul wished to have Timothy go with him. So he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts. For they all knew that his father was a Greek.

riversident@Acts:16:4 @ Thus they traveled through the cities and delivered to the disciples for observance the rules that had been decided on by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem.

riversident@Acts:16:5 @ So the churches grew firmer in faith and increased in numbers from day to day.

riversident@Acts:16:6 @ They went through Phrygia and the Galatian country, the Holy Spirit having prevented their speaking the message in Asia.

riversident@Acts:16:9 @ There a vision appeared to Paul in the night \'97 a Macedonian man was standing and begging him saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us."

riversident@Acts:16:11 @ Sailing away from Troas we made a straight run to Samothrace, and on the next day to Neapolis.

riversident@Acts:16:12 @ From there we went to Philippi, which is the first city of that part of Macedonia and is a Roman colony. We remained in that city for a number of days.

riversident@Acts:16:13 @ On the Sabbath day we went outside of the gate to a place on the riverside where it was customary to go for prayer, and we sat down and talked with the women who had gathered there.

riversident@Acts:16:15 @ When she had been baptized along with her household, she begged us, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay," and she insisted on our doing so.

riversident@Acts:16:17 @ She followed Paul and us and kept calling out, "These men are servants of God Most High, and they are teaching you the way of salvation."

riversident@Acts:16:18 @ This she kept doing for many days. Paul was annoyed, and turning he said to the spirit, "I tell you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her," and it came out at that very moment.

riversident@Acts:16:19 @ When her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold of Paul and Silas and dragged them into the public square before the authorities.

riversident@Acts:16:22 @ The crowd joined in the attack upon them, and the magistrates tore off their clothes and ordered them to be beaten with rods.

riversident@Acts:16:24 @ He on receiving such an order thrust them into the inner prison and made their feet secure in the stocks.

riversident@Acts:16:25 @ But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening.

riversident@Acts:16:26 @ Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. Immediately all the doors were opened and every one's fetters were loosed.

riversident@Acts:16:27 @ The jailer, waking from sleep and seeing the doors of the prison open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had escaped.

riversident@Acts:16:29 @ Calling for a light he sprang in and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,

riversident@Acts:16:30 @ and led them out and said, "Men, what must I do to be saved?"

riversident@Acts:16:31 @ They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, and your household,"

riversident@Acts:16:32 @ and they told the message of God to him and to all who were in his house.

riversident@Acts:16:33 @ He took them at that hour of the night and washed their stripes. Then he was baptized, he and all of his household, immediately.

riversident@Acts:16:34 @ He brought them into his house and spread the table for them, and rejoiced with his whole family because he had believed in God.

riversident@Acts:16:36 @ The jailer told this order to Paul, "The magistrates have sent to have you set at liberty. Now go out and proceed on your journey in peace."

riversident@Acts:16:37 @...cast us into prison. And are...

riversident@Acts:16:39 @ and came and begged them, and after leading them out requested them to leave the city.

riversident@Acts:16:40 @ They came out of the prison and went into Lydia's house, and after seeing and encouraging the brethren they departed.

riversident@Acts:17:1 @ AFTER passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia they came to Thessalonica. Here there was a synagogue of the Jews.

riversident@Acts:17:2 @ According to Paul's custom he went in to meet with them, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

riversident@Acts:17:3 @ explaining and showing that it was necessary that the Christ should suffer and rise from the dead, and saying, "Jesus of whom I am telling you is the Christ."

riversident@Acts:17:4 @ Some of them were persuaded and attached themselves to Paul and Silas \'97 a large number of the pious Greeks and not a few of the leading women.

riversident@Acts:17:5 @ But the Jews became excited and, taking with them some of the base loafers from the market-place, they made a mob and threw the city into confusion. They attacked the house of Jason and tried to bring Paul and Silas out to the people.

riversident@Acts:17:6 @ Not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the magistrates, shouting, "These men who have upset the world have now come here.

riversident@Acts:17:8 @ Both the crowd and the magistrates were disturbed on hearing this.

riversident@Acts:17:9 @ So they took security from Jason and the rest and then dismissed them.

riversident@Acts:17:10 @ The brethren immediately sent off Paul and Silas in the night to Beraea. They on arrival went into the synagogue of the Jews.

riversident@Acts:17:11 @ These people were nobler than those in Thessalonica. They welcomed the message with all readiness and examined the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

riversident@Acts:17:12 @ Consequently many of them believed, and also not a few Greeks; women of high standing and men.

riversident@Acts:17:13 @ When the Jews of Thessalonica learned that God's message had been proclaimed by Paul also in Beraea, they came there agitating and disturbing the crowds.

riversident@Acts:17:14 @ At once then the brethren sent away Paul to go down to the sea coast. Silas and Timothy remained there.

riversident@Acts:17:15 @ Those who were conducting Paul took him as far as Athens, and, after receiving a letter to Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they left.

riversident@Acts:17:17 @ He often debated in the synagogue with the Jews and pious persons, and in the market-place every day with whoever happened to be there.

riversident@Acts:17:18 @ Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him, and some said, "What can this idle talker mean?" Others said, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods," because he was telling the good news of Jesus and the resurrection.

riversident@Acts:17:19 @ They took him and led him up on to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new doctrine that you are speaking of is?

riversident@Acts:17:20 @ For you are bringing strange and surprising things to our ears. We wish to know what these things are."

riversident@Acts:17:21 @ For all the Athenians and the foreigners residing there spent their time in nothing else than in telling or hearing something newer than the last.

riversident@Acts:17:22 @ Paul took his stand in the midst of the Areopagus and said: "Men of Athens, I see that you are in every way unusually reverential to the gods.

riversident@Acts:17:23 @ For in passing about and contemplating your sacred objects I came upon an altar on which was inscribed, 'To an unknown God.' What you are worshiping in ignorance \'97 that I am making known to you.

riversident@Acts:17:24 @ "The God who made the world and all the things that are in it, he who is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made by hands,

riversident@Acts:17:28 @ For in him we live and move and are; as some of your own poets have said, 'For we also are his offspring.'

riversident@Acts:17:29 @ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that deity is like gold or silver or stone, a thing carved by man's art and thought.

riversident@Acts:17:34 @ But certain men attached themselves to him and believed. Among them was Dionysius the Areopagite, and there was a woman named Damaris and several other persons.

riversident@Acts:18:1 @ AFTER this Paul left Athens and came to Corinth.

riversident@Acts:18:3 @ and because he was of the same trade stayed with them and they worked together; for by trade they were tent-makers.

riversident@Acts:18:4 @ But in the synagogue every Sabbath he reasoned and endeavored to persuade both Jews and Greeks.

riversident@Acts:18:5 @ When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was absorbed by the message, bearing witness to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

riversident@Acts:18:6 @ When they resisted and spoke profane words, he rent his garments and said to them, "Your blood is on your own heads. I am clear, and from now on I am going to the Gentiles."

riversident@Acts:18:7 @ So he changed over from there and came into the house of a man named Titus Justus, who reverenced God. His house was next to the synagogue.

riversident@Acts:18:8 @ Crispus, the synagogue Director, believed in the Lord with all his household, and many of the Corinthians when they heard believed and were baptized.

riversident@Acts:18:11 @ So he stayed a year and six months, teaching among them the message of God.

riversident@Acts:18:12 @ While Gallio was Proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one mind made an attack on Paul and brought him before the court,

riversident@Acts:18:15 @ But if it is a dispute about doctrine and names and your own law, see to it yourselves. I will not be a judge of these things,"

riversident@Acts:18:16 @ and he drove them from before the judge's seat.

riversident@Acts:18:17 @ Then they laid hold of Sosthenes, the synagogue Director, and beat him right in front of the judge's seat. But Gallio cared for none of these things.

riversident@Acts:18:18 @ Paul remained a number of days more. Then after taking leave of the brethren he sailed away to Syria, and Priscilla and Aquila went with him. He had shaved his head at Cenchreae, for he had a vow.

riversident@Acts:18:19 @ They came to Ephesus and Paul left his companions there. He himself went into the synagogue and debated with the Jews.

riversident@Acts:18:23 @ After spending some time there he set out and went through the Galatian country and Phrygia, place by place, strengthening all the disciples.

riversident@Acts:18:25 @ He was strong in knowledge of the Scriptures and had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and, being very earnest in spirit, was teaching accurately about Jesus, although he knew no baptism but John's.

riversident@Acts:18:26 @ This man began to speak fearlessly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him and explained to him the way of God more accurately still.

riversident@Acts:18:27 @ As he wished to cross over to Achaia, the brethren encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. So he went and greatly helped those who had believed through grace.

riversident@Acts:18:28 @ For he powerfully and publicly refuted the Jews, showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.

riversident@Acts:19:1 @ WHILE Apollos was in Corinth, Paul, after passing through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.

riversident@Acts:19:6 @ and when Paul laid his hands on them the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

riversident@Acts:19:8 @ For three months Paul went into the synagogue and spoke fearlessly, arguing persuasively regarding the kingdom of God.

riversident@Acts:19:9 @ When some were hardened and would not believe and spoke evil of the Way before the congregation, he departed from them and took away his disciples and discussed daily in the lecture-hall of Tyrannus.

riversident@Acts:19:10 @ This went on for two years, so that all the inhabitants of Asia, both Jews and Greeks, heard the message of the Lord.

riversident@Acts:19:12 @ so that handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched his body were carried to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits departed.

riversident@Acts:19:15 @ But the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know and Paul I know; but who are you?"

riversident@Acts:19:16 @ and the man in whom the evil spirit was sprang on them and overpowered both of them, and so belabored them that they fled from that house naked and wounded.

riversident@Acts:19:17 @ This became known to all who were living in Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks, and awe fell on all of them, and the name of the Lord Jesus came to be held in high honor.

riversident@Acts:19:18 @ Many of those who had become believers came confessing and telling of their practices.

riversident@Acts:19:19 @ A number of those who had practiced magic brought their books and burned them before all. Adding up the prices of them they found the total to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.

riversident@Acts:19:20 @ Thus vigorously the Lord's message grew and strengthened.

riversident@Acts:19:21 @ When these things had been accomplished Paul took it in mind to pass through Macedonia and Achaia and go to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there I must see Rome also."

riversident@Acts:19:22 @ He sent on into Macedonia two of his assistants, Timothy and Erastus, but he himself remained awhile in Asia.

riversident@Acts:19:28 @ Upon hearing this, they became full of anger and shouted, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"

riversident@Acts:19:29 @ The city was filled with confusion, and the people rushed with one mind into the theater, having gotten hold of Gaius and Aristarchus, fellow travelers of Paul's.

riversident@Acts:19:30 @ When Paul wished to go in and face the people the disciples would not let him.

riversident@Acts:19:31 @ Some of the city officials who were his friends sent to him and begged him not to expose himself in the theater.

riversident@Acts:20:6 @ After the Days of Unleavened Bread we sailed from Philippi and came to them in Troas in five days. There we spent seven days.

riversident@Acts:20:7 @ On the first day of the week, when we all were assembled to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, being about to leave in the morning, and he extended his address until midnight.

riversident@Acts:20:9 @ A certain young man named Eutychus, sitting in a window, was overcome with deep sleep while Paul went on discoursing. At last overpowered by sleep he fell from the third story and was taken up dead.

riversident@Acts:20:10 @ But Paul went down and threw himself on him and embraced him and said, "Do not make a noisy wailing; for his life is still in him."

riversident@Acts:20:11 @ Then he went up and broke bread and ate and talked on till daybreak and so departed.

riversident@Acts:20:12 @ They brought the boy living, and were not a little comforted.

riversident@Acts:20:13 @ We went in advance to the ship and sailed for Assos, intending to take on Paul there, for so he had arranged, intending to come himself by land.

riversident@Acts:22:29 @ At once those who were about to examine him went away from him, and the Tribune was alarmed when he learned that he was a Roman, because he had chained him.

riversident@Acts:22:30 @ On the next day, wishing to know certainly why he was accused by the Jews, the Tribune loosed Paul and ordered the high priests and all the Council to assemble, and brought Paul down and stood him before them.

riversident@Acts:23:1 @ PAUL fixed his eyes on the Council and said, "Brethren, I have conducted myself with all good conscience toward God up to this day."

riversident@Acts:23:6 @ Then Paul, perceiving that one party was of Sadducees and the other of Pharisees, shouted out in the Council, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. I am being tried for the hope of the resurrection of the dead."

riversident@Acts:23:9 @ So a great uproar arose, and some of the scribes of the party of the Pharisees arose and contended, saying, "We find nothing wrong in this man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel?"

riversident@Acts:23:10 @ When the strife was becoming violent, the Tribune, fearing that Paul might be torn to pieces by them, ordered the soldiers to go down and take him from the midst of them and bring him into the barracks.

riversident@Acts:23:11 @ On the following night the Lord stood beside Paul and said,

riversident@Acts:23:12 @ When it was day, the Jews made a conspiracy and bound themselves by an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.

riversident@Acts:23:14 @ They came to the high priests and elders and said, "We have bound ourselves by an oath to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.

riversident@Acts:27:19 @ and on the third day with their own hands they threw over the ship's tackle.

riversident@Acts:27:20 @ When for many days neither sun nor stars appeared and no small tempest lay on us, at last all hope of our being saved was being taken away.

riversident@Acts:27:21 @ After they had long gone without food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said, "Men, you ought to have listened to me and not to have sailed away from Crete and met this rough experience and loss.

riversident@Acts:27:29 @ Then fearing that they might run into rocky places, they cast out four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.

riversident@Acts:27:30 @ The sailors were intent on escaping from the ship and lowered the small boat into the sea under the pretense of laying out anchors from the bow,

riversident@Acts:27:31 @ but Paul said to the Centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."

riversident@Acts:27:32 @ Then the soldiers cut the ropes of the small boat and let her fall off.

riversident@Acts:27:37 @ We in the ship were in all two hundred and seventy-six souls.

riversident@Acts:27:40 @ So abandoning the anchors they left them in the sea; at the same time loosening the bands of the steering oars and raising the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

riversident@Acts:28:2 @ The foreign people showed us uncommon kindness. For they kindled a fire and welcomed us all because of the rain that was falling and the cold.

riversident@Acts:28:3 @ Paul had collected a bundle of sticks and laid it on the fire, when a snake came out of the heat and fastened on his hand.

riversident@Acts:28:5 @ He however shook off the creature into the fire and felt no harm.

riversident@Acts:28:6 @ They kept watching to see him swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after watching a long time and seeing nothing amiss happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

riversident@Acts:28:7 @ In the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the Governor of the island, whose name was Publius. He welcomed us and for three days hospitably entertained us.

riversident@Acts:28:8 @ It happened that the father of Publius was lying ill with fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and prayed and laid his hands on him and healed him.

riversident@Acts:28:9 @ After this happened, the rest in the island who had infirmities came also and were healed.

riversident@Acts:28:10 @ They bestowed many honors on us and when we sailed they put on board supplies for our needs.

riversident@Acts:28:11 @ After three months we sailed in a ship that had wintered in the island. She was from Alexandria and her figure-head was the Twin Brothers.

riversident@Acts:28:13 @ From there we came around and got to Rhegium. After one day there, a south wind sprang up and we came on the second day to Puteoli.

riversident@Acts:28:17 @ After three days he invited the leading men among the Jews, and when they had assembled, he said to them, "Brethren, although I had done nothing against our people or our ancestral customs, I was delivered up as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

riversident@Romans:5:16 @ And the free gift was not like the sentence that came through one who sinned; for the sentence came from one fall for condemnation, but the free gift was that men should be called righteous in spite of many falls.

riversident@Romans:5:17 @ For if by the fall of one man death reigned through that one, much more those who receive the abounding grace and the free gift of righteousness will reign in life through one, that is, through Jesus Christ.

riversident@Romans:7:6 @ But now the Law has been made inoperative on us, since we have died to that by which we were held, so that we serve in newness of the spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

riversident@Romans:7:9 @ I was living once, apart from law. But when the commandment came, sin began to live and I died,

riversident@Romans:7:10 @ and the commandment which meant life was found to mean death.

riversident@Romans:7:11 @ For sin, taking occasion through the commandment, deceived me and by it killed me.

riversident@Romans:16:9 @ Give my greetings to Urbanus our fellow worker in Christ, and to Stachys my beloved.

riversident@Romans:16:12 @ Give my greetings to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, those workers in the Lord. Give my greetings to Persis the beloved, who has worked hard in the Lord.

riversident@Romans:16:13 @ Give my greetings to Rufus the chosen in the Lord, and to his mother and mine.

riversident@Romans:16:14 @ Give my greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Petrobas, Hermas, and the brethren with them.

riversident@Romans:16:15 @ Give my greetings to Philologus, and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the holy with them.

riversident@Romans:16:17 @ I beg you, brethren, to keep your eye on those who are making divisions and occasions for sin contrary to the teaching which you have learned, and to shun them.

riversident@Romans:16:18 @ For such persons are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own stomachs, and by their smooth and pleasing talk they mislead the hearts of the innocent.

riversident@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience has come to the knowledge of all men. Therefore I rejoice over you, but I wish you to be wise regarding what is good, and simple in regard to what is evil.

riversident@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow worker, sends his greeting, and so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, who are of my race.

riversident@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, sends his greetings. Erastus the city treasurer sends his greetings, and so does Quartus the brother.

riversident@Romans:16:25 @ To him who is able to make you strong according to the good news which I bear, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, and according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret through ages,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:1 @ PAUL called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and Sosthenes our brother,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:2 @ to the Church of God in Corinth, made holy in Christ Jesus, called to be holy, with all everywhere who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

riversident@1Corinthians:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ!

riversident@1Corinthians:1:5 @ that you are rich in him in everything, in readiness of speech and in all knowledge,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:7 @ and so that you are not lacking in any gift while waiting for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:8 @ He will keep you strong to the end and free from reproach on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God is faithful, and it is by him that you have been called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:10 @ I beg you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, all to say the same thing and not to have divisions among you, but to be united in the same mind and in the same opinion.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I am thankful that I baptized no one of you except Crispus and Gaius,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:19 @ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and I will bring to nought the prudence of the prudent."

riversident@1Corinthians:1:22 @ Jews ask for signs and Greeks seek for wisdom,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to those who are called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:25 @ For God's foolishness is wiser than men and God's weakness is stronger than men.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the strong,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:28 @ and God has chosen the low-born things and the things of no account, the things that are not, to defeat the things that are,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:30 @ By God's act you are in Christ Jesus, who has become to us wisdom from God and righteousness and holiness and deliverance,

riversident@1Corinthians:2:1 @ AND I in coming to you, brethren, did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I determined to know nothing among you but Jesus Christ \'97 and him crucified.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:3 @ And I came to you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling,

riversident@1Corinthians:2:4 @ and my speech and my proclamation were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but with spiritual and powerful proof,

riversident@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But as it is written, "What eye has not seen and what ear has not heard and what has not entered human mind, God has prepared for those who love him."

riversident@1Corinthians:2:13 @ And these we speak of, not in words taught by man's wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual things in spiritual words.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:1 @ AND I myself, brethren, could not speak to you as spiritual, but as fleshly, as babes in Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:3 @ For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly and living in man's way?

riversident@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For when one says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apollos," are you not men?

riversident@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God granted to me, as a wise master-builder I have laid a foundation and another is building on it. But let each be careful how he builds on it.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:13 @ every one's work will become manifest. For the day will show it, because it will be revealed in fire and the fire will test each one's work, of what quality it is.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:16 @ Do you not know that you are God's temple and the Spirit of God dwells in you?

riversident@1Corinthians:3:17 @ If any one mars the temple of God, God will mar him, for the temple of God is holy, and you are the temple.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:20 @ and again, "The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise to be futile."

riversident@1Corinthians:3:23 @ and you are Christ's and Christ is God's.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:1 @ LET a man view us as servants of Christ and stewards of God's mysteries.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:5 @ So do not judge anything before the time, before the Lord comes. He will throw light on the hidden things of darkness and will make manifest the purposes of hearts. Then each one will have his praise from God.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:6 @ All this, brethren, I have applied to myself and Apollos for your sake, that you may learn the maxim, "Nothing beyond what is written," and may not be puffed up in partisanship for one against the other.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For it seems to me that God has set us apostles out last of all as men doomed to death, that we may be a spectacle to the world and to angels and to men.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:11 @ Up to this present hour we are hungry and thirsty and naked and beaten. We wander about

riversident@1Corinthians:4:12 @ and labor, working with our own hands. When abused we bless, when persecuted we endure it,

riversident@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this very purpose I have sent to you Timothy, who is my loved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways in Christ \'97 how I teach everywhere in every church.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I shall come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will find out, not the talk of these puffed-up ones, but their power.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:21 @ Which do you wish? Shall I come with a rod or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

riversident@1Corinthians:5:1 @ IT is generally reported that there is unchastity among you, and such unchastity as is not even among the Gentiles, so that a man has his father's wife!

riversident@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are puffed up with pride and have not rather grieved and taken steps to expel from among you the doer of this deed!

riversident@1Corinthians:5:4 @ When you assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit was also present with the power of our Lord Jesus,

riversident@1Corinthians:5:8 @ So let us keep the festival, not with the old yeast nor with the yeast of evil and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:1 @ DOES any one of you, if he has a grievance against another, dare to bring the case before the unrighteous and not before the holy?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to your shame. Is it true that there is among you no one wise enough to judge between a man and his brother,

riversident@1Corinthians:6:6 @ but brother goes to law with brother and that before unbelievers?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:8 @ But you yourselves practice wrongs and frauds \'97 and that upon your brethren.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:11 @ And such some of you were. But you have washed yourselves; but you have been made holy; but you have been pronounced righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:13 @ Food of all kinds is for the stomach and the stomach for foods. But God will end the function of one and the other. The body is not for unchastity, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:14 @ God raised the Lord and will also raise us through his power.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!

riversident@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?

riversident@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But because of the prevailing unchastity, let each man have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:3 @ Let the husband pay his wife conjugal dues and the wife her husband.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive one another, unless by agreement for a time, that you may have freedom for prayer, and again come together. You must not let Satan tempt you through your lack of self-control.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I wish that every one were just as I am. But each has his own gift from God, one in one way and one in another.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:8 @ I say to the unmarried and the widows, it is excellent for them to remain as I do.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:12 @ To the rest I say \'97 not the Lord: If any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever and she is pleased to live with him, let him not put her away.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And if any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever and he is pleased to live with her, let her not put him away.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband has been made holy by the wife and the unbelieving wife has been made holy by the husband. Otherwise your children would be impure, but now they are holy.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:19 @ Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God is all.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But even if you marry, you have not sinned. Even if a maiden marries, she has not sinned. But such will have trouble in the flesh, and I would spare you.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:30 @ and those who weep as if they wept not, and those who rejoice as if they rejoiced not, and those who buy as if they possessed nothing,

riversident@1Corinthians:7:31 @ and those who use the world as if not overusing it. For the present order of this world is passing away.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:34 @ and his interest is divided. So the unmarried woman or the maiden is anxious about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about the things of the world \'97 how she may please her husband.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:35 @ This I say for your benefit, not to throw a noose over you, but to promote decorum and constant devotion to the Lord without distraction.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:36 @ If any one thinks that he is acting unbecomingly toward his virgin, if she is ripe for marriage and there is need, let him do what he will. He does not sin. Let them marry.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:37 @ He who stands firm in his heart, having no necessity, and has power over his own will and has decided in his heart to keep his virgin, will do well.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So he who marries his virgin does well, and he who does not marry her will do better.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:40 @...stays as she is. And I...

riversident@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Regarding the eating of things that have been sacrificed to idols, then, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:5 @ And though there are so-called gods in heaven and on earth, for there are gods many and lords many,

riversident@1Corinthians:8:6 @ still to us there is one God the Father, of whom are all things and we for him, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and we through him.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But all have not this knowledge. Some, having been accustomed to idols up to the present time, eat the food as a sacrifice to an idol, and their conscience being weak is stained.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:12 @ So sinning against the brethren and wounding their weak consciences you sin against Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:4 @ Have we not the right to eat and drink?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Have we not the right to take about with us a sister as wife, as the rest of the apostles do and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Or am I only, and Barnabas, without the right not to do manual labor?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who ever serves as a soldier and supplies his own pay and rations? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Who keeps a flock and does not drink any of the milk of the flock?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:10 @ or does he say this wholly for our sakes? For our sakes; for it was written because the plowman ought to plow in hope and the thresher ought to thresh in hope of having a share.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Do you not know that those who do the work of the Temple eat the things that come from the Temple, and those who minister at the altar share with the altar?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have used none of these rights and I am not writing this in order that it may be done in my case. For it would be better for me to die \'97 No one shall make my boast an empty one!

riversident@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What then is my reward? That in telling the good news I make the good news free, and do not take full advantage of my rights in the good news.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:21 @ To those without law, I became as without law, though not without the law of God and under the law of Christ, to gain those who are without law.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:27 @ On the contrary, I maul and master my body so that I may not, after preaching to others, become myself unable to stand the test.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:1 @ I DO not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea

riversident@1Corinthians:10:2 @ and all received baptism in the cloud and in the sea,

riversident@1Corinthians:10:3 @ and all ate the same spiritual food

riversident@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Be not idolaters, as some of them were, as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to dance."

riversident@1Corinthians:10:8 @ Nor let us be unchaste, as some of them were and twenty-three thousand fell dead in one day.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:9 @ Nor let us try the patience of the Lord, as some of them tried him and were destroyed by serpents.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:10 @ Nor murmur, as some of them murmured and perished by the destroyer.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:11 @ These things happened to those people as warnings and they were written for the instruction of us to whom the closing events of the ages have come.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No trial has taken you but what belongs to human nature. God is faithful and he will not let you be tried beyond your power, but will make, with the trial, a way of escape so that you can endure it.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:20 @...and not to God. And I...

riversident@1Corinthians: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.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:26 @ For "the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof."

riversident@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If any one of the unbelievers invites you and you wish to go, eat whatever is set before you, raising no questions of conscience.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if any one says to you, "This is meat that has been sacrificed," do not eat, for the sake of him who mentioned it and for conscience' sake \'97

riversident@1Corinthians:11:2 @ I praise you because you remember me in all things and hold firmly the traditions as I passed them on to you.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:3 @ I wish you to know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:5 @ But every woman praying or prophesying bareheaded dishonors her head. For it is one and the same as if she had her head shaved.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:7 @ For a man has no need to cover his head since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of man.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For, in the first place, I hear that when you assemble as a church there are parties among you, and to some extent I believe it.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:21 @ For in eating each one tries to get his own supper first and one is hungry and another is drunken.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:22 @ Have you not homes to eat and drink in? Or do you mean to show contempt for the church of God and put to shame those who have no homes? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? For this I do not praise you.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:24 @ and when he had given thanks he broke it and said,

riversident@1Corinthians:11:26 @ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup you proclaim the Lord's death, until he comes.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:27 @ Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:28 @ But let a man examine himself and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For he who eats and drinks eats and drinks condemnation to himself, if he does not honor the Lord's body.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:30 @ For this reason many are weak and sickly among you and a number are asleep.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore I inform you that no one speaking in the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except in the Holy Spirit.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:5 @ And there are varieties of service, but the same Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:6 @ And there are varieties of products, but the same God who produces all things in all.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:11 @ One and the same Spirit produces all of these gifts, distributing to each one individually as he will.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so also is Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and were all made to drink of one Spirit.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear says, "Because I am not an eye I am not of the body," it is not for that reason not of the body.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:21 @ And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," or the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."

riversident@1Corinthians:12:23 @ and those that we deem the less honorable parts of the body we surround with greater honor and our uncomely parts have additional dignity,

riversident@1Corinthians:12:26 @ And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if a member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:27 @ You are the body of Christ and individually members.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:31 @ Seek earnestly for the greater gifts; and yet I will show you a way that surpasses all.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:1 @ IF I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:2 @ And if I have the power of prophecy 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.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:3 @ And if I distribute all that I have to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:9 @ For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

riversident@1Corinthians:13:13 @ But now faith, hope, love \'97 these three \'97 endure. And the greatest of these is love.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:2 @ For he who speaks with a tongue speaks not to men, but to God. For no one understands, and he speaks mysteries in the Spirit.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But he who prophesies speaks to men what will build up, encourage, and comfort.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:9 @ And so you, if you do not give by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is said? For you will be talking into the air.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:10 @ There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none without meaning.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:11 @ If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a barbarian to him who is speaking, and he will be a barbarian to me.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:12 @ And so you, since you are eager for spiritual gifts, seek to abound in what will build up the church.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:15 @ What then? I will pray with the spirit and with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit and with the understanding.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:21 @ In the Law it is written, "By men of strange speech and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, and not even thus will they listen to me, says the Lord."

riversident@1Corinthians:14:22 @ So then tongues are for a sign not to believers, but to unbelievers, and prophecy is not for unbelievers, but for believers.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:23 @ If therefore the whole church assembles and all speak with tongues and ordinary men or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are insane?

riversident@1Corinthians:14:24 @ But if all prophesy and any unbeliever or ordinary man comes in, he is convinced by all, he is judged by all,

riversident@1Corinthians:14:25 @ the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so falling on his face he worships God, declaring that God is really among you.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:27 @ If any one speaks with a tongue, let it be two, or at the most three, at a time and in turn and let one interpret.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:28 @ If there is no interpreter, let the man keep silent in church and let him speak to himself and to God.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:29 @ Of the prophets let two or three speak and let the others reflect.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:31 @ For you can all prophesy one by one so that all may learn and all be encouraged.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:39 @ So then, my brethren, seek earnestly to prophesy and do not hinder speaking with tongues.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:40 @ Let all things be done becomingly and in order.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:1 @ LET me recall to your minds, brethren, the good news which I announced to you and which you accepted, in which also you stand,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:4 @ and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:5 @ and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles and am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not without result, but I labored more abundantly than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:11 @ Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim and so you believed.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:14 @ If Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is an empty thing and your faith is an empty thing.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:15 @ And we are found false witnesses of God because we testified regarding God that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise if the dead are not raised.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:17 @ And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile, you are still in your sins.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Then will be the end when he delivers up the kingship to God his Father, when he has defeated every archangel and authority and power.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:30 @ And why do we run risks every hour?

riversident@1Corinthians:15:31 @ I die every day, I swear it by the boast I make of you and which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If, humanly speaking, I fought wild beasts at Ephesus, what is my gain? If the dead do not rise, "let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die."

riversident@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Return to soberness and cease to sin, for some are ignorant of God. I say it to your shame.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But some one will say, How are the dead raised, and with what sort of bodies do they come?

riversident@1Corinthians:15:37 @ And what you sow is not the body that will come, but a mere grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:38 @ But God gives it a body as he has pleased, and to each kind of seed a body of its own.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:39 @ All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another flesh of birds, and another flesh of fishes.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are bodies celestial and bodies terrestrial. But the glory of the celestial is of one kind and the glory of the terrestrial is of another.

riversident@1Corinthians: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.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:48 @ As is the earthly man such are also those who are earthly, and as is the heavenly man such are also those who are heavenly.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:49 @ And as we have borne the image of the earthly man, we shall bear the image of the heavenly man.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:50 @ But I say this, brethren, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor will decay inherit imperishability.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet-call. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be transformed.

riversident@Galatians:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

riversident@Galatians:1:4 @ who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present wicked world according to the will of our God and Father!

riversident@Galatians:1:7 @ though it is not another good news. But there are some who are perplexing you and wishing to pervert the good news of Christ.

riversident@Galatians:1:13 @ You have heard of my former life in Judaism, that I furiously persecuted the church of God and made havoc of it,

riversident@Galatians:1:14 @ and I went further in Judaism than many of my own age and race, being intensely zealous for the traditions of my forefathers.

riversident@Galatians:1:15 @ But when he who had appointed me when I was in my mother's womb, and had called me by his grace,

riversident@Galatians:1:16 @ was pleased to reveal his Son in me that I might tell the good news of him among the Gentiles, immediately I did not consult with flesh and blood,

riversident@Galatians:1:17 @ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and came back to Damascus.

riversident@Galatians:1:18 @ Then, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter and stayed with him fifteen days.

riversident@Galatians:1:21 @ Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

riversident@Galatians:1:24 @ and they glorified God on my account.

riversident@Galatians:2:2 @ I went up by revelation, and I stated to them the good news which I proclaim among the Gentiles. But I did this privately before those who were most esteemed, that I might not be running, or have run, to no Purpose.

riversident@Galatians:2:3 @ But even Titus, who was with me and was a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised,

riversident@Galatians:2:9 @ recognizing the grace given to me, James, Cephas, and John, who were regarded as pillars, gave the right hand of fellowship to me and Barnabas, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcision.

riversident@Galatians:2:12 @ For before certain persons came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

riversident@Galatians:2:13 @ And the rest of the Jews practiced the same hypocrisy with him, so that even Barnabas was led off with them in their hypocrisy.

riversident@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not walking straight according to the truth of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you who are a Jew are living like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?"

riversident@Galatians:2:15 @ We who are Jews by nature and not sinners of the Gentiles,

riversident@Galatians:2:16 @ knowing that a man is not declared righteous because of works of law, but through faith in Christ Jesus, we also have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be declared righteous because of faith in Christ, and not because of works of law, for because of works of law no human being will be declared righteous.

riversident@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been crucified with Christ. I am living, yet no longer I, but Christ is living in me. The life that I am now living in flesh I am living by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

riversident@Galatians:3:5 @ He who supplies to you the Spirit and works miracles among you, is he doing it because of works of law or because of hearing with faith,

riversident@Galatians:3:6 @ just as Abraham had faith in God and it was credited to him for righteousness?

riversident@Galatians:3:10 @ For all who are of the works of law are under a curse, for it is written, "Cursed is every one who does not abide by all the precepts of the book of the Law and do them."

riversident@Galatians:3:16 @ But the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, "and to offsprings," as meaning many, but as if meaning one, "and to your offspring," who is Christ.

riversident@Galatians:3:17 @ I mean this, a covenant ratified by God, the Law that came four hundred and thirty years afterward does not annul, so as to defeat the promise.

riversident@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then was the Law? It was added later to make transgressions, until the Offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was arranged through angels by the hand of a mediator.

riversident@Galatians:3:29 @ If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring and heirs according to the promise.

riversident@Galatians:4:2 @ But he is under guardians and managers until the day appointed by the father.

riversident@Galatians:4:7 @ So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then also an heir, through God's act.

riversident@Galatians:4:9 @ But now that you know God, or rather have been known by God, how are you turning back to the weak and beggarly elementary lessons to which you wish to be slaves again?

riversident@Galatians:4:10 @ You observe days and months and seasons and years.

riversident@Galatians:4:14 @ And you did not despise or spurn what was a trial to you in my bodily condition, but welcomed me as you would an angel of God, as you would Christ Jesus.

riversident@Galatians:4:15 @ Where now is the blessing you pronounced on me? For I bear you witness that if it had been possible you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me.

riversident@Galatians:4:18 @ It is honorable to be courted in an honorable matter always, and not only when I am with you,

riversident@Galatians:4:20 @ Would that I could be present with you now and could change my tone, for I am at a loss about you.

riversident@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one born of the slave girl and one born of the free wife.

riversident@Galatians:4:26 @ But the Jerusalem on high is free and she is our mother.

riversident@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, "Rejoice, O barren one, you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who feel no birth pangs! For many are the children of the desolate \'97 more than those of her who has a husband."

riversident@Galatians:4:30 @ But what says the Scripture? "Cast out the slave girl and her son. For the son of the slave girl shall not inherit along with the son of the free wife."

riversident@Galatians:5:1 @ STAND firm, therefore, in the freedom with which Christ set us free, and do not wear any yoke of slavery.

riversident@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not destroyed by one another.

riversident@Galatians:5:16 @ I say, walk in the Spirit and you will not carry out the passions of the flesh.

riversident@Galatians:5:17 @ For the flesh has passions contrary to the Spirit and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do whatever you wish.

riversident@Galatians:5:21 @ envyings, drinking bouts, revelries, and the like. Of these I tell you beforehand, as I have already told you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

riversident@Galatians:5:24 @ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its emotions and passions.

riversident@Galatians:6:2 @ Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.

riversident@Galatians:6:4 @ Let each one test his own work and then he will have his reason for boasting in himself alone and not in another.

riversident@Philippians:1:7 @ So it is right for me to think of you all, because you have me in your hearts, and in my chains and in my defense and in establishing the good news you are all sharers in my privilege.

riversident@Philippians:1:9 @ And this is my prayer that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and all insight,

riversident@Philippians:1:10 @ so that you may discriminate between the things that differ, that you may be pure and blameless in the day of Christ,

riversident@Philippians:1:11 @ filled with the fruit of knowledge through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

riversident@Philippians:1:15 @ Some indeed proclaim Christ because of envy and rivalry, some also because of good will.

riversident@Philippians:1:18 @ What then? Still in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed and in that I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.

riversident@Philippians:2:26 @ since he longs for you all and is troubled because you have heard that he was sick.

riversident@Philippians:2:27 @ Indeed he was sick and near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not on him alone, but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.

riversident@Philippians:2:29 @ Receive him in the Lord with all joy and hold such men in honor,

riversident@Philippians:3:1 @ TO conclude, my brethren: rejoice in the Lord. To repeat to you the same things is not tiresome to me and it is safe for you.

riversident@Philippians:3:13 @ Brethren, I do not consider myself yet to have laid hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and stretching forward to what is in front

riversident@Philippians:3:17 @ Unite in imitating me, brethren, and watch those who are living according to our example.

riversident@Philippians:3:18 @ For many are living as I used often to tell you and now say even weeping that they are enemies of the cross of Christ.

riversident@Philippians:4:16 @ and that in Thessalonica you sent once, yes, twice, for my need.

riversident@Philippians:4:18 @ I have enough of everything and more than enough. I am fully supplied since receiving from Epaphroditus the things from you, a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

riversident@Colossians:1:23 @ if you remain in the faith, firm and steadfast, never moving from the hope of the good news which you have heard and which has been proclaimed in all the creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a servant.

riversident@Colossians:1:24 @ Now I rejoice in what I suffer for your sake, and in my turn am filling up in my flesh what was lacking in the afflictions of Christ for the sake of his body, that is, the church.

riversident@Colossians:2:13 @ You who were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh God has made alive with him, and has forgiven us all our sins.

riversident@Colossians:2:15 @ He despoiled the archangels and authorities and fearlessly made an example of them when he triumphed over them on the cross.

riversident@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no one as umpire defraud you of your prize, if he delights in excessive humility and ceremonial worship of the angels, searching into his own visions, emptily puffed up by his fleshly mind

riversident@Colossians:2:19 @ and not holding to the Head, from whom the whole body, supplied and held together by joints and bands, grows as God gives it growth.

riversident@Colossians:2:23 @ These rules follow the commandments and teachings of men. They have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed ceremonial and excessive humility and severity to the body, but have no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

riversident@Colossians:3:2 @ Have your minds on the things above and not on the things on the earth.

riversident@Colossians:3:3 @ For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

riversident@Colossians:3:5 @ Treat the members of your earthly bodies as dead \'97 dead to unchastity, impurity, passion, evil desire, and avarice, which is idolatry.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ You became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the message in great affliction with joy which the Holy Spirit gave,

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ so that you became a pattern for all believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For the message of the Lord sounded forth from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God has gone abroad, so that there is no need for us to speak a word.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For the people themselves are telling about us, what a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to wait for his Son from heaven \'97 his Son Jesus whom he raised from the dead and who is saving us from the coming wrath.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ but after we had suffered and been roughly treated, as you know, in Philippi, we made bold in our God to speak to you the good news of God with great wrestling.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remember, brethren, our toil and labor as we worked night and day so as not to burden any one of you while we proclaimed to you the good news of God.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ You are witnesses \'97 and God is witness \'97 how purely and justly and blamelessly we acted toward you who believe.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ You know that just like a father toward his own children we encouraged each one of you, and warned and conjured you

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God: to have you become holy and have you shun unchastity;

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ to have each of you know how to take a wife for himself in holiness and honor,

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ to have no one trespass or take advantage of his brother in this matter; for the Lord is the punisher of all such, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ and you do the same to all the brethren in the whole of Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, to excel still further

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ and to be ambitious to lead a quiet life and to mind each his own business and to work with your hands, as we instructed you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ Thus you will live becomingly in the sight of outsiders and will have need of nothing.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For since, as we believe, Jesus died and rose, so too God will through Jesus bring with him those who have fallen asleep.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and with God's trumpet-call, and first the dead in Christ will rise.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:17 @...Lord in the air. And thus...

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ BUT regarding times and dates, brethren, you do not need to have me write to you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ When they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction is upon them, like the pangs upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ You are all sons of light and sons of day. We do not belong to night or to darkness.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ Then let us not be sleeping like the rest of men, but let us watch and be sober.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:7 @ For those who sleep sleep in the night and those who drink drink in the night.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But let us who are of the day be sober. Let us put on the breastplate of faith and love and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, as indeed you are doing.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ We beg you, brethren, to regard those who are laboring among you and who preside over you in the Lord and give you counsel,

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:13 @ and to esteem them very highly in love on account of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ Take care that no one repays evil with evil, but always seek eagerly what is good in dealing with one another and with every one.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ And then the Lawless One will be revealed. But the Lord Jesus will sweep him away with the breath of his mouth and will make him powerless by the splendor of his coming.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be saved from the unreasonable and wicked men, for faith does not belong to all.

riversident@1Timothy:1:4 @ nor give attention to myths and endless genealogies, which promote disputes rather than God's plan in the faith, so I beg you now.

riversident@1Timothy:1:13 @ though before that I spoke profanely and was a persecutor and insolent in outrages. But I received mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

riversident@1Timothy:1:14 @ And the grace of our Lord overflowed in me with faith and love in Christ Jesus.

riversident@1Timothy:1:15 @ The saying is trust-worthy and deserving of full acceptance that "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners," of whom I am the foremost.

riversident@1Timothy:1:16 @ But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might show all of his long-suffering for an example for those who are to believe in him and gain life eternal.

riversident@2Timothy:4:4 @ They will turn their ears away from the truth and give attention to myths.

riversident@2Timothy:4:6 @ For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is near.

riversident@2Timothy:4:8 @ Now the crown of righteousness is awaiting me. The Lord the righteous judge will give it to me on that day, and not only to me but to all those who have loved his appearing.

riversident@Hebrews:1:1 @ MANY times and in many ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets;

riversident@Hebrews:1:2 @ but at the end of these days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the world,

riversident@Hebrews:1:3 @ who is the reflection of his glory and the expression of his nature and sustains all things by his word of power, and who, when he had made purification from sins, took his seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

riversident@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to which of the angels did he ever say, "Thou art my son; I have to-day become thy Father"? and again, "I will be to him a Father and he shall be to me a Son"?

riversident@Hebrews:1:6 @ And again when he brings his first-born into the world of men he says, "And let all the angels of God bow down to him."

riversident@Hebrews:1:8 @ But regarding the Son he says, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever. Thy royal scepter is a scepter of justice.

riversident@Hebrews:1:9 @ Thou lovest righteousness and hatest lawlessness, therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy companions."

riversident@Hebrews:1:10 @ And, "Thou, in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth, and the heavens are works of thy hands.

riversident@Hebrews:1:12 @ and like a mantle thou wilt roll them up. But thou art the same and thy years will never end."

riversident@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the message spoken through angels was sure and every violation and disobedience received merited punishment,

riversident@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the beginning was spoken by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

riversident@Hebrews:2:4 @ while God added his testimony by signs and wonders and many kinds of miracles and impartation of the Holy Spirit according to his will?

riversident@Hebrews:2:7 @ Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels. With glory and honor thou hast crowned him.

riversident@Hebrews:2:9 @ but we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death that by the grace of God he might taste of death for every man, now crowned with glory and honor.

riversident@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it was fitting that he through whom are all things and for whom are all things, when leading many sons to glory, should make the great Leader of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

riversident@Hebrews:2:11 @ For he who makes holy and they who are made holy are all of one. For this cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

riversident@Hebrews:2:13 @ and again, "I will trust in him," and again, "Here am I and the children whom God has given me."

riversident@Hebrews:2:14 @ Since then the children share in blood and flesh, he himself in the same way shared in them, in order that through death he might defeat him who had the power of death, that is, the Devil,

riversident@Hebrews:2:15 @ and set free all those who through fear of death were all their lives doomed to slavery.

riversident@Hebrews:2:17 @ And for that reason he had to be made like his brethren in everything, so as to be a compassionate and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

riversident@Hebrews:3:1 @ THEREFORE, holy brethren, sharers in a heavenly call, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,

riversident@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ as a Son over his own house. We are his house if we hold firmly to the end our confidence and the hope of which we boast.

riversident@Hebrews:4:5 @ and in this place again, "They shall not enter into my rest."

riversident@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since, then, it remains for some to enter into it, and those who first received the good news did not enter because of lack of faith \'97

riversident@Hebrews:4:12 @ For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any two-edged sword, and it pierces until it divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and it judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

riversident@Hebrews:4:13 @ There is not a creature invisible to him, but all things are naked and defenseless before the eyes of him to whom we must account.

riversident@Hebrews:4:16 @ Therefore let us come with confidence to the throne of grace and receive compassion and find grace for timely help.

riversident@Hebrews:5:1 @ FOR every high priest taken from among men is appointed in behalf of men in things relating to God to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

riversident@Hebrews:5:2 @ He is able to sympathize with the ignorant and the erring, since he himself is beset with weaknesses.

riversident@Hebrews:5:4 @ And no one takes this honor upon himself unless called by God, as Aaron was.

riversident@Hebrews:5:6 @ and who says in another place, "Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

riversident@Hebrews:5:7 @ Christ, in the days of his flesh, offered prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him from death, with strong outcries and tears, and was heard and saved from his terrors.

riversident@Hebrews:5:9 @ and being thus made perfect he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

riversident@Hebrews:5:10 @ and was proclaimed by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

riversident@Hebrews:5:12 @ For when, considering the time, you ought to be teachers you need to have some one teach you again the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk and not solid food.

riversident@Hebrews:5:14 @ But solid food is for adults who through practice have their senses exercised in distinguishing good and bad.

riversident@Hebrews:6:1 @ THEREFORE let us leave elementary teaching about Christ and hasten on to what is advanced, not laying again a foundation \'97 change of heart from dead works, faith in God,

riversident@Hebrews:6:2 @ the teaching about baptisms, the laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

riversident@Hebrews:6:5 @ and have tasted God's word and the powers of the coming world,

riversident@Hebrews:6:6 @ and then have fallen away, to have again a change of heart, since they are crucifying for themselves afresh the Son of God and putting him to open shame.

riversident@Hebrews:6:7 @ For ground that drinks the rain that comes often upon it and bears plants useful to those for whom it is farmed shares in God's blessing;

riversident@Hebrews:6:8 @ but if it bears thorns and thistles it is judged worthless and is near to being cursed. In the end it will be burnt over.

riversident@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not so unjust as to forget your work and the love that you have shown to his name as you have served and are still serving the holy.

riversident@Hebrews:6:12 @ that you may not be dull, but imitators of those who through faith and patience are inheriting the promises.

riversident@Hebrews:6:14 @ saying, "Surely, I will greatly bless you and greatly multiply you."

riversident@Hebrews:6:19 @ We have this hope as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm, and it enters into the tent within the curtain

riversident@Hebrews:7:1 @ FOR, this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham when he was returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,

riversident@Hebrews:7:2 @ and to whom Abraham gave a tenth of all (note:)first, by the translation of his name, "King of Righteousness," and then king of Salem, which means "King of Peace"(:note),

riversident@Hebrews:7:5 @ And even those of the sons of Levi who attain the priesthood have command according to the Law to take a tenth from the people, their own brethren, although these have sprung from the loins of Abraham.

riversident@Hebrews:7:6 @ But he who had no genealogy from these took a tenth from Abraham and pronounced a blessing on him who had the promises.

riversident@Hebrews:7:8 @ And here mortal men receive tenths, but there one of whom the witness is that he is living.

riversident@Hebrews:7:11 @ If, then, perfection had been through the Levitical priesthood, \'97 for on the basis of that the people received the Law \'97 what need was there for another kind of priest to arise and not be called of the order of Aaron?

riversident@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is plain that our Lord has arisen from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

riversident@Hebrews:7:15 @ And this is yet more abundantly evident if after the order of Melchizedek there arises a priest of a different kind

riversident@Hebrews:7:18 @ There is a setting aside of the earlier commandment because of its weakness and uselessness \'97

riversident@Hebrews:7:19 @ for the Law brought nothing to perfection \'97 and there is the bringing in of a better hope through which we draw near to God.

riversident@Hebrews:7:20 @ And just as it was not without an oath \'97

riversident@Hebrews:7:21 @ for those men have become priests without an oath, but he with an oath from him who said to him, "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: thou art a priest forever" \'97

riversident@Hebrews:7:23 @ And many of them became priests because they were prevented by death from continuing,

riversident@Hebrews:7:25 @ And so he is able to save perfectly those who come to God through him, since he is forever living to intercede for them.

riversident@Hebrews:7:26 @ For such was the High Priest that we needed, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.

riversident@Hebrews:7:27 @ He has not the daily need, like the other priests, first to offer sacrifices for his own sins and then for those of the people. This latter he did once for all when he offered himself.

riversident@Hebrews:8:2 @ and who ministers in the holy place and in the true Tent set up by the Lord, not by man.

riversident@Hebrews:8:3 @ Now every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices. Whence it is necessary for this one to have something to offer.

riversident@Hebrews:8:5 @ They minister as an example and shadow of the things in heaven, just as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the Tent. "See," it was said, "that you make everything according to the model shown you on the mountain."

riversident@Hebrews:8:6 @ But now Christ has obtained a ministry as much more excellent as the covenant of which he is mediator is better and based upon better promises.

riversident@Hebrews:8:8 @ But finding fault with it he says, "The days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make for the house of Israel and for the house of Judah a new covenant,

riversident@Hebrews:8:9 @ not in the manner of the covenant which I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not abide by my covenant and I ceased to care for them, says the Lord.

riversident@Hebrews:8:10 @ This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their minds and will write them upon their hearts and I will be their God and they will be my people.

riversident@Hebrews:8:11 @ They shall not teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother saying, 'Know the Lord'; for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest of them,

riversident@Hebrews:8:12 @ and I will be merciful to their wrong-doings and their sins I will remember no more."

riversident@Hebrews:8:13 @ In saying "new" he has pronounced the first covenant old. But what grows old and decadent is near to disappearance.

riversident@Hebrews:9:1 @ THE first covenant had regulations of worship and its holy building in this world.

riversident@Hebrews:9:2 @ For a Tent was erected, in the first part of which were the lampstand and the table and the consecrated bread. This was called the Holy Place.

riversident@Hebrews:9:4 @ It had the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant all covered with gold. In this was a golden jar with the manna and Aaron's rod that sprouted and the tablets of the covenant.

riversident@Hebrews:9:7 @ but into the second part the High Priest alone goes once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins ignorantly committed by the people.

riversident@Hebrews:9:9 @ That is a symbol, for the time being, in accordance with which gifts and sacrifices are offered, though they cannot make the worshiper perfect in his conscience,

riversident@Hebrews:9:10 @ since they consist only of foods and drinks and various baths \'97 rules respecting the flesh, imposed until the time of reformation.

riversident@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ came as High Priest of the good things that have come, he entered once for all through the greater and more perfect Tent not made by hands \'97 that is, not of this creation \'97

riversident@Hebrews:9:12 @ and not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, into the holy place, and thereby found eternal redemption.

riversident@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the defiled, makes them holy as regards purity of their flesh,

riversident@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where there is a last will and testament the death of the testator must be put in evidence.

riversident@Hebrews:9:19 @ When all the commands of the Law had been spoken by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled it on the book and on all the people,

riversident@Hebrews:9:21 @ And the Tent and all the things used in worship he likewise sprinkled with blood.

riversident@Hebrews:9:22 @ Almost everything is cleansed with blood, according to the Law, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

riversident@Hebrews:9:27 @ And as it is appointed for men once for all to die and after this comes judgment,

riversident@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ was once for all offered to bear the sins of many and will appear the second time, apart from sin, to those who are looking for him, and bring them salvation.

riversident@Hebrews:10:4 @ For the blood of bulls and goats is powerless to take away sins.

riversident@Hebrews:10:5 @ Therefore on coming into the world he says, "Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire: a body thou hast prepared for me.

riversident@Hebrews:10:6 @ Whole burnt offerings and sin offerings thou dost not delight in.

riversident@Hebrews:10:8 @ He first says, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sin offerings thou dost not desire nor delight in," such as are offered according to the Law,

riversident@Hebrews:10:9 @ and then he says, "Here I have come to do thy will." He takes away the first to establish the second.

riversident@Hebrews:10:11 @ Every priest stands daily doing service and offering many times the same sacrifices, although they never can take away sins.

riversident@Hebrews:10:16 @ "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts and on their minds I will write them," he adds,

riversident@Hebrews:10:17 @ "and their sins and their law-breakings I will remember no more."

riversident@Hebrews:10:20 @ by the new and living way which he has made for us through the curtain, that is, his flesh,

riversident@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us come with true hearts in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies bathed in pure water.

riversident@Hebrews:10:39 @ But we are not of those who shrink back and perish, but of those who have faith and will win their souls.

riversident@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, for which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God testifying to his gifts, and by it, though dead, he still speaks.

riversident@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was taken from the earth so that he did not see death, and he was not found because God had taken him. For before being taken he had this testimony that he had pleased God.

riversident@Hebrews:11:6 @ But without faith it is impossible to please him. For he who comes to God must have faith that he exists and that he becomes the rewarder of those who seek him.

riversident@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, after receiving a divine warning regarding things as yet unseen, reverently built an ark for the saving of his household. Thus he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness of faith.

riversident@Hebrews:11:8 @ By faith Abraham when called obeyed and came out into the place which he was to obtain for an inheritance. He came out not knowing where he was coming.

riversident@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he made his home in the promised land as in a foreign country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.

riversident@Hebrews:11:10 @ For he was looking for the city that has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

riversident@Hebrews:11:12 @ And so from just one man, already dead in that respect, there sprang descendants "as the stars of heaven in multitude and as the sand on the seashore innumerable."

riversident@Hebrews:11:13 @ These all died in faith, not having obtained the promised blessings, but they saw them and greeted them afar and confessed that they were strangers and foreigners in the land.

riversident@Hebrews:11:15 @ And if they had been thinking of that land from which they came they would have had opportunity to return.

riversident@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham when he was tested offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises began offering his only son

riversident@Hebrews:11:19 @ He reasoned that God was able to raise him even from the dead, and figuratively he did win him back from the dead.

riversident@Hebrews:11:20 @ By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau and spoke of things to come.

riversident@Hebrews:11:21 @ By faith Jacob when dying blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped leaning on the top of his staff.

riversident@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, when at his end, mentioned the departure of the children of Israel and gave orders regarding his own bones.

riversident@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses at his birth was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they did not fear the king's command.

riversident@Hebrews:11:26 @ and he thought the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. For he was looking to the final reward.

riversident@Hebrews:11:28 @ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the destroyer might not touch their first-born.

riversident@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what shall I say further? Time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, and of David and Samuel and the prophets;

riversident@Hebrews:11:33 @ who through faith struggled against kingdoms and subdued them, did deeds of righteousness, obtained promised blessings, shut the mouths of lions,

riversident@Hebrews:12:8 @ But if you are without discipline, in which all share, then you are bastards and not sons.

riversident@James:1:13 @ No one must say when tempted, "My temptation comes from God." For God cannot be tempted by evil, and he tempts no one.

riversident@James:1:14 @ Every one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own passions and enticed.

riversident@James:1:22 @ Become doers of the message and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

riversident@James:2:19 @ You have faith that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons have that faith, and they shudder.

riversident@James:2:22 @ You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was made perfect

riversident@James:2:23 @ and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham had faith in God and it was credited to him for righteousness" and he was called "God's friend."

riversident@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were going astray like sheep, but have now returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.

riversident@1Peter:3:3 @ Your adornment must not be of the external kind \'97 braiding the hair and putting on gold and wearing fine dresses;

riversident@1Peter:3:4 @ but the hidden personality of the heart must wear the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in God's sight most precious.

riversident@1Peter:3:6 @ as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him Master. You have become her children when you do well and feel no terror.

riversident@1Peter:3:10 @ For "He who would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.

riversident@1Peter:3:11 @ He must turn away from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.

riversident@1Peter:3:12 @ For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and his ears are open to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against wrongdoers."

riversident@1Peter:3:13 @ And who is it that will harm you if you become earnest for the good?

riversident@1Peter:3:14 @ But if you should suffer for being righteous, you are blessed. Have no fear of them and do not be disturbed;

riversident@1Peter:3:15 @ but exalt Christ as Lord in your hearts and be always ready to defend yourselves to every one who asks you to give account of the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.

riversident@1Peter:3:22 @ Now that he has gone into heaven he is at the right hand of God, and angels and authorities and powers have been made subject to him.

riversident@1Peter:4:3 @ The time that has passed was enough to spend doing the will of the Gentiles, when you went on in indecencies, passions, hard drinking, revelries, carousings, and lawless idolatries.

riversident@1Peter:4:4 @ In these they think it strange that you are not running with them to the same excess of profligacy, and they slander you.

riversident@1Peter:4:5 @ But they will have to give account to him who holds himself ready to judge the living and the dead.

riversident@1Peter:4:6 @ And for this purpose the good news was told even to the dead, that they might be judged like men in the flesh, but live as God does in the spirit.

riversident@1Peter:4:7 @ The end of all things is near. Therefore be serious and sober and give yourselves to prayer.

riversident@1Peter:4:11 @ If any one speaks, let it be as uttering the oracles of God. If any one serves, let it be from the strength that God supplies. Thus in all things let God be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him be glory and strength for the ages of the ages! Amen.

riversident@2Peter:1:1 @ SIMON PETER, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have been allotted a faith as precious as ours:

riversident@2Peter:1:2 @ Grace be to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

riversident@2Peter:1:3 @ Since his divine power has given us all things helpful to life and piety through the knowledge of him who has called us by his own glory and virtue,

riversident@2Peter:1:4 @ and thereby great and precious promises have been granted to us, that through them you may escape the corruption that is in the world through passion and become sharers in the divine nature,

riversident@2Peter:1:5 @ for this very reason make it your whole endeavor to supply to your faith virtue, and to your virtue knowledge,

riversident@2Peter:1:6 @ and to your knowledge self-control, and to your self-control endurance, and to your endurance reverence,

riversident@2Peter:1:7 @ and to your reverence brotherliness, and to your brotherliness love.

riversident@2Peter:1:9 @ But he who lacks these is blind, dim-sighted, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.

riversident@2Peter:1:10 @ Therefore endeavor more earnestly, brethren, to make sure that you have been called and chosen. For while doing these things you will never stumble.

riversident@2Peter:1:11 @ For so entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you.

riversident@2Peter:1:12 @ For this reason I shall always keep reminding you of these things, although you know them and are steadfast in the truth that you have.

riversident@2Peter:1:16 @ For we were not following cunningly devised myths when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his majesty.

riversident@2Peter:1:17 @ For he received from God the Father honor and glory when such words as these were borne to him from the majestic glory, "This is my Son, the Beloved; in him I delight."

riversident@2Peter:1:18 @ And this voice we heard borne from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.

riversident@2Peter:1:19 @ Thus have we the words of the prophets confirmed, and you will do well to give attention to them as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;

riversident@2Peter:2:1 @ BUT false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among yourselves, and they will craftily bring in deadly heresies, even disowning the Lord who bought them and bringing on themselves quick ruin.

riversident@2Peter:2:2 @ Many will follow their shameless ways and by these the path of truth will be profanely spoken of.

riversident@2Peter:2:3 @ In covetousness they will make gain out of you by their cunning words. But their condemnation from of old has not been inactive, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

riversident@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare angels that had sinned, but thrust them down to Tartarus and committed them to pits of darkness to be kept for judgment,

riversident@2Peter:2:5 @ and did not spare the ancient world, but guarded Noah, a herald of righteousness, and seven others, when he brought the flood on the world of the ungodly;

riversident@2Peter:2:6 @ and if reducing to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah he condemned them to destruction, making them an example for the godless of what would come upon them,

riversident@2Peter:2:7 @ and rescued righteous Lot worn out by the indecent lives of the lawless, \'97

riversident@2Peter:2:8 @ for that righteous man living among them was tortured day and night in his righteous soul by the sight and hearing of their lawless deeds, \'97

riversident@2Peter:2:9 @ the Lord knows how to rescue the pious from trial and how to keep the wicked under punishment for the day of judgment,

riversident@2Peter:2:10 @ especially those who go after flesh in polluting passions, and despise lordship. They are daring, self-willed; they do not tremble to speak insultingly of glorious beings

riversident@2Peter:2:11 @ even where angels greater in strength and power do not bring against them an insulting charge before the Lord.

riversident@2Peter:2:12 @ But they, like irrational creatures, born mere animals for capture and destruction, while speaking profanely of things they are ignorant of, will be corrupted by their own corruption,

riversident@2Peter:2:13 @ and will suffer unrighteously as the reward of their own unrighteousness. They think it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are spots and blots as they revel in their deceptions while they feast sumptuously with you.

riversident@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they have been again entangled and overcome, their last state has become worse than the first.

riversident@2Peter:2:22 @ That has happened to them which the true proverb says, "The dog returns to his own vomit and the sow after bathing returns to wallowing in the mire."

riversident@2Peter:3:2 @ to arouse your honest minds to recall the predictions of the holy prophets and the commands of your apostles from the Lord and Savior.

riversident@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, "Where is his promised coming? for since the fathers fell asleep all things remain as they have been since the beginning of the creation?"

riversident@2Peter:3:5 @ For they willfully forget that there were heavens of old and an earth formed out of water and through water by God's word.

riversident@2Peter:3:6 @ By these means the world that then was was flooded with water and destroyed.

riversident@2Peter:3:7 @ But the present heavens and the earth are by the same word treasured up and kept for fire on the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

riversident@2Peter:3:8 @ Do not forget this one thing, beloved, that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like one day.

riversident@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day the heavens will pass away with a loud noise and the burning elements will be dissolved and the earth and the things in it will not be found.

riversident@2Peter:3:11 @ Since all of these things are to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in holy lives and piety,

riversident@2Peter:3:12 @ you who are looking for and hastening toward the coming of the day of God, when the blazing heavens will be dissolved and the burning elements melted?

riversident@2Peter:3:13 @ But according to his promise we are expecting new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness will dwell.

riversident@2Peter:3:14 @ Therefore, beloved, since you expect this, endeavor earnestly to be found by him in peace, spotless and faultless,

riversident@2Peter:3:15 @ and regard the long-suffering of our Lord as salvation, as also our beloved brother Paul has written to you, according to the wisdom given to him.

riversident@2Peter:3:17 @ You, then, beloved, since you know these things beforehand, be on your guard not to be led away by the error of the lawless and fall from your own steadfastness,

riversident@1John:1:7 @ If we live 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.

riversident@1John:1:8 @ If we say, "We have no sin," we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

riversident@1John:1:10 @ If we say, "We have not sinned," we make him a liar and his message is not in us.

riversident@1John:2:10 @ He who loves his brother remains in the light and there is no stumbling block in him.

riversident@1John:2:11 @ He who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness and knows not where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

riversident@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and the message of God remains in you and you have conquered the Evil One.

riversident@1John:2:16 @ for all that is in the world, the passions of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the show and pride of life, is not from the Father, but from the world.

riversident@1John:4:7 @ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and every one who loves has been born of God and knows God.

riversident@1John:4:10 @ In this is love \'97 not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

riversident@1John:4:16 @ We have come to know and have put our trust in the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God and God remains in him.

riversident@1John:4:20 @ If any one 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 love God whom he has not seen.

riversident@1John:5:1 @ EVERY one who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and every one who loves the father who gave him life loves every one who has received life from that father.

riversident@Revelation:5:1 @ THEN I saw in the right hand of him who was sitting on the throne a book with writing inside and outside and closely sealed with seven seals.

riversident@Revelation:5:2 @ I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and loose its seals?"

riversident@Revelation:5:5 @ Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered and can open the book and its seven seals."

riversident@Revelation:5:6 @ Then I saw midway between the throne and the four living creatures and the elders a Lamb standing. He seemed as if he had been slain. He had seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

riversident@Revelation:5:7 @ He came and took the book from the right hand of him who was sitting on the throne.

riversident@Revelation:5:8 @ When he took the book the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp and a golden bowl full of incense, which is the prayers of the holy.

riversident@Revelation:5:9 @ Then they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the book and to open its seals, for thou wast slain and didst ransom for God by thy blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

riversident@Revelation:5:10 @ and hast made them a kingdom of priests to our God, and they shall be kings on the earth."

riversident@Revelation:5:11 @ Then I looked and I heard the voices of many angels encircling the throne and the voices of the four living creatures and of the elders \'97 the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands \'97

riversident@Revelation:5:12 @ crying aloud, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing."

riversident@Revelation:5:13 @ And every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all creatures in them, I heard saying, "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and power for the ages of the ages."

riversident@Revelation:5:14 @ The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped.

riversident@Revelation:6:1 @ THEN I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals and I heard one of the living creatures say, as if with a voice of thunder, "Come."

riversident@Revelation:6:2 @ I looked and there came a white horse, and he who was sitting on it had a bow, and a crown was given to him and he went forth conquering and to conquer.

riversident@Revelation:6:4 @ Then another horse came out. It was fiery red, and to him who was sitting on it was granted to take peace from the earth so that men should kill one another, and a great sword was given to him.

riversident@Revelation:6:5 @ When he opened the third seal I heard the third living creature say, "Come." I looked and there came a black horse, and he who was sitting on it had a pair of scales in his hand.

riversident@Revelation:6:6 @ I heard what seemed a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A measure of wheat for a shilling and three measures of barley for a shilling. But do no harm to the oil or the wine."

riversident@Revelation:6:8 @ I looked and there came a pale yellow horse. The name of him who was sitting on it was Death, and Hades was following along with him. Authority was granted to them over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword and with famine and with pestilence and with the wild beasts of the earth.

riversident@Revelation:6:9 @ When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the sake of God's message and because of the testimony which they had borne.

riversident@Revelation:6:10 @ They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Ruler holy and true, wilt thou delay to judge and take vengeance for our blood upon those who dwell on the earth?"

riversident@Revelation:6:11 @ To each of them a white robe was given, and it was said to them that they must wait quietly yet a little while until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren was complete, who were yet to be killed as they had been.

riversident@Revelation:6:12 @ I saw when he opened the sixth seal and there came a great earthquake and the sun became black, like sackcloth of hair, and the moon became all like blood

riversident@Revelation:6:13 @ and the stars of heaven fell to the ground, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a strong wind,

riversident@Revelation:6:14 @ and the sky passed away like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.

riversident@Revelation:6:15 @ Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the generals and the rich and the strong and every slave and freeman hid themselves in the caves and the rocks of the mountains

riversident@Revelation:6:16 @ and said to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb,

riversident@Revelation:6:17 @ for the day, the great day, of their wrath has come and who can stand?"

riversident@Revelation:7:2 @ Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, with the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it had been granted to harm the land and the sea

riversident@Revelation:7:3 @ and said, "Do not harm the land or the sea or any tree until we seal the servants of our God on their foreheads."

riversident@Revelation:7:4 @ I heard the number of those who were sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:

riversident@Revelation:7:9 @ After this I looked and there was a great multitude which no one could count, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb clothed in white robes and with palms in their hands,

riversident@Revelation:7:10 @ and they shouted with a loud voice saying, "Salvation to our God who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb!"

riversident@Revelation:7:11 @ And all the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God

riversident@Revelation:7:12 @ saying, "Amen. Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength be to our God for the ages of the ages! Amen."

riversident@Revelation:7:13 @ Then one of the elders spoke to me and said, "These who wear the white robes \'97 who are they and where have they come from?"

riversident@Revelation:7:14 @ I said to him, "My Lord, you know." He said to me, "These have come out of the great distress and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:7:15 @ For this reason they are before the throne of God and worship him day and night in his Temple, and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.

riversident@Revelation:7:17 @ for the Lamb who is in the center before the throne will be their shepherd and will lead them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

riversident@Revelation:8:2 @ Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

riversident@Revelation:8:3 @ Another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and much incense was given to him for him to put with the prayers of all the holy on the golden altar before the throne.

riversident@Revelation:8:5 @ Then the angel took the censer and filled it from the fire of the altar and cast it to the earth, and there were thunders and voices and lightnings and an earthquake.

riversident@Revelation:8:7 @ The first sounded his trumpet and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up and a third of the trees were burned up and all green grass was burned up.

riversident@Revelation:8:9 @ and a third of the creatures in the sea, those that had life, died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

riversident@Revelation:8:10 @ The third angel sounded his trumpet and there fell from heaven a great star burning like a torch. It fell upon a third of the rivers and upon the springs of water.

riversident@Revelation:8:11 @ The name of the star is called Wormwood. Then a third of the waters became worm-wood, and many people died from the waters because they had been made bitter.

riversident@Revelation:8:12 @ The fourth angel sounded his trumpet and a blight fell upon a third part of the sun and a third part of the moon and a third part of the stars, so that a third part of them was darkened, and the day had no light for a third part of it, and the night was darkened in the same way.

riversident@Revelation:8:13 @ Then I looked and I heard an eagle that was flying in mid-heaven say with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe to those who are living on the earth, because of the rest of the trumpet-blasts which the three angels are soon to sound!"

riversident@Revelation:9:1 @ THE fifth angel sounded his trumpet and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to the earth. There was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss.

riversident@Revelation:9:2 @ And he opened the pit of the abyss and smoke came up from the pit like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun was darkened and the air also by the smoke of the pit.

riversident@Revelation:9:3 @ Out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth, and power was given to them such as earthly scorpions have.

riversident@Revelation:9:6 @ In those days men will seek for death and will not find it and will long to die, but death will fly from them.

riversident@Revelation:9:7 @ The appearance of the locusts was like that of horses equipped for battle. On their heads were, as it were, crowns like gold, and their faces were like human faces.

riversident@Revelation:9:10 @ They have tails as scorpions have, and stings, and with their tails they have power to harm men five months.

riversident@Revelation:9:13 @ The sixth angel sounded his trumpet and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar before God

riversident@Revelation:9:15 @ So the four angels were loosed, they who were prepared for the hour and day and month and year to kill a third of men.

riversident@Revelation:9:17 @ This is how the horses and those who sat on them appeared to me in the vision: The riders had breastplates, fiery red, dark blue, and sulphur yellow. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and from their mouths came fire and smoke and sulphur.

riversident@Revelation:9:18 @ By these three plagues a third of men were killed \'97 by the fire and the smoke and the sulphur that came out of their mouths.

riversident@Revelation: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 with these they do injury.

riversident@Revelation:9:20 @ But the rest of men, who were not killed by these plagues, neither repented of the deeds of their hands nor ceased worshiping the demons and their idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk,

riversident@Revelation:10:1 @ THEN I saw another strong angel descending from heaven. He was clothed in a cloud and the rainbow was over his head. His face was like the sun and his legs were like pillars of fire.

riversident@Revelation:10:2 @ He had in his hand a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea and his left on the land

riversident@Revelation:10:3 @ and shouted with a loud voice like the roar of a lion. When he had shouted the seven thunders spoke, each its own message.

riversident@Revelation:10:4 @ When the seven thunders had spoken I was about to write. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven thunders have spoken and do not write it."

riversident@Revelation:10:5 @ Then the angel whom I had seen standing on the sea and on the land lifted his right hand to heaven

riversident@Revelation:10:6 @ and swore by him who lives for the ages of the ages, who formed heaven and all things in it and the earth and all things upon it and the sea and all things in it, "There shall be no more delay,

riversident@Revelation:10:8 @ Then the voice which I had heard from heaven spoke again with me and said, "Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."

riversident@Revelation:10:9 @ So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little book. He said to me, "Take it and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, though in your mouth it will be sweet like honey."

riversident@Revelation:10:10 @ I took the little book from the hand of the angel and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet like honey, but after I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.

riversident@Revelation:10:11 @ They said to me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings."

riversident@Revelation:11:1 @ THEN a reed like a measuring stick was given to me with the words, "Rise and measure the Temple of God and the altar and those who are worshiping at it.

riversident@Revelation:11:2 @ But the court outside the Temple omit and do not measure it, for it has been given over to the Gentiles and they will trample down the holy city forty-two months.

riversident@Revelation:11:3 @ I will grant to my two witnesses to prophesy a thousand, two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

riversident@Revelation:11:4 @ They are the two olive trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth.

riversident@Revelation:11:5 @ If any one wishes to harm them fire comes from their mouths and consumes their enemies. If any one shall wish to harm them, in this way he must be killed.

riversident@Revelation:11:6 @ They have power to shut up heaven so that no rain shall fall during the days that they are prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and power to smite the earth with every kind of plague as often as they please.

riversident@Revelation:11:7 @ When they have completed their testimony, the Beast that is coming up out of the abyss will make war with them and conquer them and kill them.

riversident@Revelation:11:8 @ Their corpses will lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

riversident@Revelation:11:9 @ Men of all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their corpses three days and a half and will not permit their corpses to be placed in a tomb.

riversident@Revelation:11:10 @ Those who live on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and send gifts to one another, because the two prophets tormented those who live on the earth."

riversident@Revelation:11:11 @ After the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them and they stood on their feet. Then great fear fell on those who were looking at them.

riversident@Revelation:11:12 @ They heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here," and they went up into heaven in the cloud while their enemies were looking at them.

riversident@Revelation:11:13 @ At that hour occurred a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell and seven thousand men were killed by the earthquake. The rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

riversident@Revelation:11:15 @ The seventh angel sounded his trumpet and there came loud voices in heaven saying, "The kingship of the world has become our Lord's and his Christ's and he will be king for the ages of the ages."

riversident@Revelation:11:16 @ Then the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,

riversident@Revelation:11:17 @ saying, "We thank thee, Lord God Almighty, who art and wast, that thou hast taken thy great power and hast become king.

riversident@Revelation:11:18 @ The Gentiles raged, but thy wrath came and the time to judge the dead and to give the reward to thy servants the prophets and to the holy who reverence thy name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who are destroying the earth."

riversident@Revelation:11:19 @ Then the Temple of God in heaven was opened and the ark of his covenant in his temple was seen in his temple, and there came lightnings and voices and thunders and an earthquake and a great hailstorm.

riversident@Revelation:12:1 @ A GREAT sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun. The moon was under her feet and on her head was a crown of twelve stars.

riversident@Revelation:12:2 @ She was with child and cried out in the pangs and anguish of child-birth.

riversident@Revelation:12:3 @ There appeared also another sign in heaven, a great fiery-red Dragon with seven heads and ten horns. On his heads were seven diadems

riversident@Revelation:12:4 @ and his tail dragged a third of the stars of heaven and hurled them to the ground. The Dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth to a child, so that he might devour the child as soon as it was born.

riversident@Revelation:12:5 @ She gave birth to a son who is to shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron. Then the child was caught up to God and to his throne.

riversident@Revelation:12:6 @ The woman fled into the wilderness where she has from God a prepared place, that they may nourish her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days.

riversident@Revelation:12:7 @ War arose in heaven. Michael and his angels fought with the Dragon. The Dragon and his angels fought,

riversident@Revelation:12:8 @ but they failed, and no place was found for them any longer in heaven.

riversident@Revelation:12:9 @ Then was hurled down the great Dragon, the ancient serpent who is called the Devil and Satan, who misleads the whole world \'97 he was hurled to the earth and his angels were hurled with him.

riversident@Revelation:12:10 @ I heard a loud voice in heaven say, "Now has come the salvation and power and kingship of our God and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brethren has been hurled down, he who accuses them before our God day and night.

riversident@Revelation:12:11 @ But they have conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of testimony to him, and they loved not their lives even to death.

riversident@Revelation:12:12 @ Therefore, rejoice, O heavens, and you who tent in them! Alas for the land and the sea! For the Devil has gone down to you in great wrath, knowing that he has but a little time."

riversident@Revelation:12:14 @ Then there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle to fly into the wilderness to her place, where she shall be fed for a time and times and half a time, hidden from the view of the Serpent.

riversident@Revelation:12:16 @ But the earth helped the woman and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river that the Dragon had poured out of his mouth.

riversident@Revelation:12:17 @ Then the Dragon was enraged against the woman and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring who keep the commands of God and hold the testimony concerning Jesus.

riversident@Revelation:13:1 @ THEN I stood on the sand of the sea and I saw rising out of the sea a Beast with ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten diadems and upon his heads were profane names.

riversident@Revelation:13:2 @ The Beast that I saw was like a leopard, but his feet were like a bear's feet and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The Dragon gave to him his own power and his throne and great authority.

riversident@Revelation:13:4 @ and they worshiped the Dragon because he had given such power to the Beast, and they worshiped the Beast, saying, "Who is like the Beast, and who can battle with him?"

riversident@Revelation:13:5 @ There was given to him a mouth speaking boasts and profanities, and there was given to him power to act for forty-two months.

riversident@Revelation:13:6 @ He opened his mouth to insult God, to speak profanely of his name and of his Tent and of those who tent in heaven.

riversident@Revelation:13:7 @ It was granted to the Beast to make war with the holy and to conquer them, and power was granted to him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

riversident@Revelation:13:10 @ If any one is destined to captivity, into captivity he will go. If any one is to be killed by the sword, by the sword must he be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the holy.

riversident@Revelation:13:12 @ It exercises all the authority of the first Beast in his presence. It compels the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first Beast whose mortal wound was healed.

riversident@Revelation:13:15 @ Power was granted to it to give breath to the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast spoke and it caused all who did not worship the image of the Beast to be put to death.

riversident@Revelation:13:16 @ It causes all, small and great, rich and poor, freemen and slaves, to have a mark put on their right hands or on their foreheads,

riversident@Revelation:13:18 @ Here wisdom is required. Let him who has understanding count the number of the Beast; for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred and sixty-six.

riversident@Revelation:14:1 @ THEN I looked and there was a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and the name of his Father written on their fore-heads.

riversident@Revelation:14:3 @ They sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been ransomed from the earth.

riversident@Revelation:14:4 @ These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were ransomed from among men as first-fruits for God and the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:14:6 @ Then I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven having eternal good news to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people.

riversident@Revelation:14:7 @ He said in a loud voice, "Reverence God and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth and sea and springs of water."

riversident@Revelation:14:9 @ Another angel, a third, followed them, saying in a loud voice, "If any one worships the Beast and his image and receives his mark on his forehead and on his hand,

riversident@Revelation:14:10 @ he also will drink of the wine of God's passion which has been mixed undiluted in the cup of his wrath, and he will be tortured in fire and brimstone in the presence of holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:14:11 @ And the smoke of their torture will ascend for ages of ages and they will have no rest day or night \'97 those who worship the Beast and his image, and any one who receives the mark of his name."

riversident@Revelation:14:12 @ Here is the endurance of the holy who keep the commands of God and the faith of Jesus.

riversident@Revelation:14:14 @ Then I looked and there was a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was one like a son of man. He had on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle.

riversident@Revelation:14:15 @ Another angel came out of the Temple and shouted with a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, "Thrust in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is dry."

riversident@Revelation:14:16 @ He who was sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth and the earth was reaped.

riversident@Revelation:14:17 @ Then another angel came out from the Temple that is in heaven and he too had a sharp sickle.

riversident@Revelation:14:18 @ Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, "Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are fully ripe."

riversident@Revelation:14:19 @ Then the angel swung his sickle to the earth and gathered the vintage of the earth and flung it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

riversident@Revelation:14:20 @ The winepress was trodden outside the city and blood came out from the wine-press as high as the horses' bridles for a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

riversident@Revelation:15:1 @ THEN I saw another sign in heaven. It was great and wonderful \'97 seven angels with the seven plagues which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is fully executed.

riversident@Revelation:15:2 @ Then I saw what was like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had come victorious from the Beast and his image and the number of his name standing by the glassy sea with harps of God.

riversident@Revelation:15:3 @ They were singing the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying: "Great and wonderful are thy works, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are thy ways, O King of the nations.

riversident@Revelation:15:4 @ Who will not reverence and glorify thy name, O Lord? For thou only art holy. All the nations will come and worship before thee, because thy righteous acts have been made manifest."

riversident@Revelation:15:5 @ After this I looked and the Temple of the Tent of testimony in heaven was opened,

riversident@Revelation:15:6 @ and the seven angels with the seven last plagues came out of the Temple, clothed in pure shining linen and girded around their breasts with golden girdles.

riversident@Revelation:15:8 @ The Temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the Temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.

riversident@Revelation:16:1 @ THEN I heard a loud voice saying from the Temple to the seven angels, "Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God upon the earth."

riversident@Revelation:16:2 @ The first went away and poured his bowl upon the land, and there came an evil and malignant ulcer on the men who had the mark of the Beast and those who worshiped its image.

riversident@Revelation:16:3 @ The second angel poured out his bowl upon the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man and every living thing that was in the sea died.

riversident@Revelation:16:4 @ The third angel poured out his bowl upon the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.

riversident@Revelation:16:5 @ Then I heard the angel of the waters saying, "Just art thou who art and wast, the Holy One, because thou hast so judged,

riversident@Revelation:16:6 @ for they poured out the blood of thy holy ones and prophets and thou hast given them blood to drink. They deserve it."

riversident@Revelation:16:7 @ Then I heard the altar saying, "Yes, O Lord God Almighty, true and just are thy judgments."

riversident@Revelation:16:8 @ The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was granted to him to scorch men with fire.

riversident@Revelation:16:9 @ Men were scorched with great heat and they insulted the name of God who had power over these plagues, but they did not repent and give him glory.

riversident@Revelation:16:10 @ The fifth angel poured out his bowl upon the throne of the Beast, and his kingdom became darkened and men bit their tongues from pain

riversident@Revelation:16:11 @ and insulted the God of heaven for their pains and their ulcers, but they did not repent of their deeds.

riversident@Revelation:16:12 @ The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to make a road ready for the kings from the sunrising.

riversident@Revelation:16:13 @ Then I saw come 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 impure spirits like frogs.

riversident@Revelation:16:14 @ They are the spirits of demons who work miracles, and they go forth to the kings of the whole habitable world to gather them for the battle of the great day of God the Almighty.

riversident@Revelation:16:17 @ The seventh angel poured out his bowl on the air, and a loud voice came from the Temple, from the throne, saying, "It is done!"

riversident@Revelation:16:18 @ Then came lightnings and voices and thunders and a great earthquake. So great an earthquake has not occurred since man came upon the earth.

riversident@Revelation:16:19 @ The great city was divided into three parts and the cities of the Gentiles fell. Then Babylon the Great was remembered before God \'97 to give to her the cup of the wine of his fierce wrath.

riversident@Revelation:16:20 @ Every island fled and the mountains were not found.

riversident@Revelation:16:21 @ And great hailstones each weighing about a hundred pounds fell from heaven on men. Men insulted God because of the hail, for the plague of it was great.

riversident@Revelation:17:1 @ THEN came one of the seven angels that had the seven plagues and spoke with me. He said, "Come here. I will show you the doom of the great prostitute who sits on many waters

riversident@Revelation:17:2 @ and with whom the kings of the earth have committed lewdness, while the inhabitants of the earth have become drunk with the wine of her lewdness."

riversident@Revelation:17:3 @ He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast covered with profane names, and with seven heads and ten horns.

riversident@Revelation:17:4 @ The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls. She had in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her lewdness.

riversident@Revelation:17:5 @ On her forehead was written a mysterious name: "Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth."

riversident@Revelation:17:6 @ I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the holy and with the blood of the witnesses for Jesus. When I saw her I wondered greatly.

riversident@Revelation:17:7 @ The angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystic meaning of the woman and the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.

riversident@Revelation:17:8 @...and go into destruction. And the...

riversident@Revelation:17:11 @ The Beast which was and is not is also himself an eighth, yet is one of the seven, and will go into destruction.

riversident@Revelation:17:13 @ They have one mind and they give over their power and authority to the Beast.

riversident@Revelation:17:14 @ They will make war with the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings. They who are with him, called and chosen and faithful, will also conquer."

riversident@Revelation:17:15 @ He said to me, "The waters that you saw where the prostitute was sitting are peoples and crowds and nations and tongues.

riversident@Revelation:17:16 @ The ten horns that you saw and the Beast \'97 they hate the prostitute and will make her desolate and naked and they will devour her flesh and will burn her up with fire.

riversident@Revelation:17:17 @ For God has put it in their hearts to carry out his purpose, which is that they shall carry out one purpose and give their royal power to the Beast until the words of God are fulfilled.

riversident@Revelation:18:1 @ AFTER this I saw another angel descending from heaven with great power, and the earth was lit up with his splendor.

riversident@Revelation:18:2 @ He shouted with a powerful voice, saying, "Babylon the Great has fallen, has fallen, and has become a habitation of demons and a stronghold of every impure spirit and a stronghold of every unclean and detested bird.

riversident@Revelation:18:3 @ For all the nations have drunk of the wine of her passion for lewdness and the kings of the earth have committed lewdness with her and by the excess of her luxury the merchants of the earth have grown rich."

riversident@Revelation:18:5 @ for her sins have been heaped up to heaven and God has remembered her unrighteous deeds.

riversident@Revelation:18:6 @ Repay to her as she has paid, and make it double for her deeds. In the cup she mixed mix double for her.

riversident@Revelation:18:7 @ As much as she glorified herself and played the wanton, so much give her torture and woe. For in her heart she says, 'I sit here a queen; no widow am I and woe I shall not see.'

riversident@Revelation:18:8 @ For this reason in one day her plagues will come, death and woe and famine, and she shall be burned up in fire. For strong is the Lord God who has judged her.

riversident@Revelation:18:9 @ "The kings of the earth who have committed lewdness with her and have reveled luxuriously, when they see the smoke of her burning, will wail and beat their breasts.

riversident@Revelation:18:11 @ The merchants of the earth will weep and wail over her, for no one will any longer buy their cargoes,

riversident@Revelation:18:12 @ cargoes of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, all kinds of citrus wood and their many kinds of articles of ivory and their many kinds of articles of costliest wood and brass and iron and marble,

riversident@Revelation:18:13 @ and cinnamon and spice and incense and ointment and frankincense and wine, and olive oil and fine flour and wheat, and cattle and sheep and horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.

riversident@Revelation:18:14 @ The ripe fruits for which your soul longed have gone from you, and all your dainty and splendid things are lost to you and they will never more be found.

riversident@Revelation:18:15 @ The traders in these things who grew rich from her will stand afar through dismay at her torture, weeping and wailing

riversident@Revelation:18:16 @ and saying: 'Alas, alas, for the great city, clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!

riversident@Revelation:18:17 @ For in one hour this vast wealth has given place to desolation.' " Every ship captain and every one who sails anywhere, and sailors and all who gain their living on the sea, stood afar

riversident@Revelation:18:18 @ and shouted as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, "What city could compare with the great city?"

riversident@Revelation:18:19 @ They threw dust upon their heads and shouted as they wept and wailed, saying, "Alas, alas, for the great city in which all who had ships on the sea grew rich from her wealth! For in an hour she has been desolated.

riversident@Revelation:18:20 @ Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you the holy and you apostles and prophets! For God has pronounced sentence in your behalf against her."

riversident@Revelation:18:21 @ Then one strong angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and hurled it into the sea, saying, "With such violence shall Babylon the great city be hurled down and she will never more be found.

riversident@Revelation:18:22 @ The music of harpers and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters will never more be heard in you. No master of any art will ever more be found in you. The sound of the mill will never more be heard in you.

riversident@Revelation:18:23 @ The light of a lamp will never more shine in you. The voices of bridegroom and bride will never again be heard in you. Your merchants were the great ones of the earth; for by your magic arts all the nations were led astray.

riversident@Revelation:18:24 @ In her was found the blood of prophets and of holy men and of all who had been slain on the earth."

riversident@Revelation:19:1 @ AFTER this I heard what seemed the loud voices of a great multitude in heaven saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

riversident@Revelation:19:2 @ for true and just are his judgments. He has judged the great prostitute who was corrupting the earth with her lewdness and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants."

riversident@Revelation:19:4 @ Then the twenty-four elders fell down and the four living creatures worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, "Amen! Hallelujah!"

riversident@Revelation:19:5 @ A voice came from the throne saying, "Praise our God, all of you his servants who reverence him, both small and great."

riversident@Revelation:19:7 @ Let us rejoice and be glad and give glory to him; for the marriage of the Lamb has come and his bride has prepared herself

riversident@Revelation:19:8 @ and it has been granted to her to be clothed in fine linen shining and pure." For the fine linen is the righteous acts of the holy.

riversident@Revelation:19:10 @ Then I fell down at his feet and worshiped him. But he said to me, "No, no. I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brethren who hold the testimony to Jesus. Worship God. For testimony to Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

riversident@Revelation:19:11 @ Then I saw heaven open and there was a white horse, and he who was sitting on it was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.

riversident@Revelation:19:12 @ His eyes are a flame of fire and on his head are many diadems. He has a name written which no one but himself knows,

riversident@Revelation:19:13 @ and he is clothed in a garment dipped in blood and his name has been called The Word of God.

riversident@Revelation:19:14 @ The armies that are in heaven follow him on white horses clothed in fine linen white and clean.

riversident@Revelation:19:15 @ From his mouth issues a sharp sword to smite the nations. He will shepherd them with a rod of iron, and he treads the winepress of the fierce wrath of God Almighty.

riversident@Revelation:19:16 @ He has on his robe and on his thigh a name written, "King of kings and Lord of lords."

riversident@Revelation:19:17 @ Then I saw one angel standing on the sun, and he shouted with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, "Come, gather for the great feast of God,

riversident@Revelation:19:18 @ to eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of generals and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of freemen and of slaves, of small and great."

riversident@Revelation:19:19 @ Then I saw the Beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered to do battle with him who sits on the horse and with his army.

riversident@Revelation:19:20 @ And the Beast was captured and with him the False Prophet who did miracles in his presence and thereby misled those who received the mark of the Beast and who worshiped his image. The two were flung alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone.

riversident@Revelation:19:21 @ The rest were slain with the sword of him who sits upon the horse, the sword that issued from his mouth, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

riversident@Revelation:20:1 @ THEN I saw an angel descending from heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

riversident@Revelation:20:2 @ He laid hold of the Dragon, the ancient Serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and chained him for a thousand years

riversident@Revelation:20:3 @ and flung him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he should not mislead the nations until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while.

riversident@Revelation:20:4 @ Then I saw thrones, and men took their seats on them and the power to judge was granted to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for God's message, and who had not worshiped the Beast nor his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. They lived and reigned as kings with Christ a thousand years,

riversident@Revelation:20:6 @ Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection! Over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests and kings of God and of Christ, and will reign with him the thousand years.

riversident@Revelation:20:8 @ and will come out to mislead the nations that are at the four corners of the earth \'97 Gog and Magog \'97 and gather them to battle in number like the sand of the sea.

riversident@Revelation:20:9 @ They went up over the breadth of the earth and encircled the camp of the holy and the beloved city. But fire fell from heaven and consumed them,

riversident@Revelation:20:10 @ and the Devil who was misleading them was flung into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the Beast and the False Prophet, and they will be tormented day and night for the ages of the ages.

riversident@Revelation:20:11 @ Then I saw a great white throne and him who was sitting on it, from whose face earth and heaven fled away and no place was found for them.

riversident@Revelation:20:12 @...and books were opened. And another...

riversident@Revelation:20:13 @ The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and they were judged each according to his deeds.

riversident@Revelation:20:14 @ Death and Hades were flung into the lake of fire. This is the second death \'97 the lake of fire.

riversident@Revelation: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.

riversident@Revelation:21:3 @ And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "The Tent of God is with men. He will tent with them and they will be his people and he will be their God.

riversident@Revelation:21:5 @ He who was sitting on the throne said, "See, I am making all things new." He said, "Write; for these words are trustworthy and true."

riversident@Revelation:21:6 @ He said to me, "They have come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To him who is thirsting I will give from the spring of the water of life freely.

riversident@Revelation:21:7 @ He who conquers shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be to me a son.

riversident@Revelation:21:8 @ But the timid and faithless and abominable and murderers and the unchaste and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars will have their lot in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

riversident@Revelation:21:9 @ Then one of the angels that had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came and spoke with me. "Come here," he said, "and I will show you the Bride, the Lamb's wife."

riversident@Revelation:21:10 @ Then he carried me in Spirit to the top of a great and high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem descending out of heaven from God,

riversident@Revelation:21:12 @ She had a wall great and high, and she had twelve gates and at the gates twelve angels, and there were names written upon the gates. They are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.

riversident@Revelation:21:13 @ On the east were three gates and on the north three gates and on the south three gates and on the west three gates.

riversident@Revelation:21:14 @ The wall of the city had twelve foundations and upon them were twelve names, the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:21:15 @ He who was speaking with me had a golden reed as a measure, to measure the city and her gates and her wall.

riversident@Revelation:21:16 @ The city stands foursquare and the length is the same as the breadth. He measured the city with the reed. It extends twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

riversident@Revelation:21:17 @ He measured the wall of it, a hundred and forty-four cubits by human measure, which is also that of an angel.

riversident@Revelation:21:18 @ The material of the wall of it was jasper and the city was pure gold like clear glass.

riversident@Revelation:21:22 @ I saw no temple in it; for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:21:23 @ And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it; for the glory of God illumines it and the Lamb is its light.

riversident@Revelation:21:24 @ The nations will walk by its light and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it,

riversident@Revelation:21:25 @ and its gates will not be closed by day, and there will be no night there.

riversident@Revelation:21:26 @ They will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.

riversident@Revelation:22:1 @ THEN he showed me a river of water of life bright as crystal, issuing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:22:2 @ In the space between the street and the river, on this side and on that, grew trees of life bearing twelve kinds of fruit, and yielding their fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

riversident@Revelation:22:3 @ There will no longer be any accursed thing. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it and his servants will worship him with holy rites.

riversident@Revelation:22:4 @ They will see his face and his name will be on their foreheads.

riversident@Revelation:22:5 @ There will not be night any more and they will have no need of lamplight or of sunlight; for the Lord God will shine upon them and they will be kings for the ages of the ages.

riversident@Revelation:22:6 @ Then he said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to show to his servants what must soon come to pass.

riversident@Revelation:22:8 @...and saw these things. And when...

riversident@Revelation:22:9 @ But he said to me, "No, no. I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brethren and of the prophets and of those who are keeping the words of this book. Worship God."

riversident@Revelation:22:11 @ Let the wrongdoer do wrong still, and let him who is filthy be filthy still, and let the righteous do righteousness still, and let the holy be holy still.

riversident@Revelation:22:17 @ The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." Let him who hears say, "Come." Let him who thirsts come. Let him who will take the water of life freely.

riversident@Revelation:22:19 @ and if any one takes away anything from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written of in this book.
