@ DESCRIPTION: The Bible in Worldwide English (BWE)\par This New Testament was originally prepared by Annie Cressman, who died in 1993. She was a Canadian Bible teacher in Liberia in West Africa. Whilst teaching students in a Bible School where the language used was English, she found that she was spending more time explaining the meaning of the English than she was teaching the Bible itself. So she decided to write this simple version in easy English so that her students could easily understand.\par\par In 1959 the Full Gospel Publishing House in Toronto, Canada, printed a trial edition of the Gospel of Mark. A further edition was published in 1962 by the American Bible Society. The whole New Testament was first published by SOON Publications in India in 1969 in hardback form. This was assisted by Operation Mobilisation (OM) and was reprinted in 1971.\par\par The vision to reprint a new edition of the whole New Testament has now been carried out by SOON in conjunction with EPH and OM. Where a change to more modern words has been made, this has been kept in line with the the Authorised Version.
bwe@Matthew:1:18 @ This is the way Jesus Christ was born. Mary, his mother, was promised to Joseph to be his wife. But before they were married, she found out that she was going to have a baby. It was by the Holy Spirit.
bwe@Matthew:1:22 @ All of this had been told long before by the Lord through his prophet. It came true.
bwe@Matthew:3:3 @ This is the man that Isaiah the prophet of God spoke about long ago. He said, A man is calling in the wilderness, "Make the way ready for the Lord. Make the road straight for him."
bwe@Matthew:3:15 @ But Jesus answered, Please do it now. In this way we shall do all that is right. Then John let him be baptised.
bwe@Matthew:3:17 @...from the sky said, This is...
bwe@Matthew:5:21 @ You have heard this said to men long ago, "Do not kill. Anyone who kills will be judged in court."
bwe@Matthew:5:33 @ Also you have heard this said to men long ago, "You must not make a promise in Gods name and break it." And, "You must do for the Lord what you said you would do."
bwe@Matthew:6:2 @ So when you give money to poor people, do not send men in front of you to blow trumpets or horns. Some people do this in the meeting houses and on the streets so that people will praise them. They are not true to themselves. I tell you the truth. They have their pay already.
bwe@Matthew:6:4 @ In this way, what you give to the poor will be secret. Your Father sees secret things and he will reward you.
bwe@Matthew:8:10 @ Jesus was surprised when he heard this. He said to the people who followed him, I tell you the truth. I have not found any Jew who believes as this man does.
bwe@Matthew:9:3 @...the scribes were thinking, This man...
bwe@Matthew:9:8 @ Many people saw this and were much surprised. They praised God who had given such power to men.
bwe@Matthew:9:13 @ Go and learn what this means: "I want you to be kind. I do not want a sacrifice." I did not come to call good people. I came to call bad people to stop doing wrong things.
bwe@Matthew:9:32 @...a man to Jesus. This man...
bwe@Matthew:9:33 @ Jesus drove the bad spirit out of the man. Then he could talk. The people were very much surprised. They said, Nothing like this has ever been seen in the country of Israel.
bwe@Matthew:9:38 @ Talk to the Lord of this harvest, and ask him to send out people to his harvest.
bwe@Matthew:11:14 @ If you will believe it, this man is the Elijah who would come.
bwe@Matthew:12:7 @ You do not know what this means, "I want you to be kind; I do not want a sacrifice." If you knew, then you would not have said what they did was wrong. What they did was not wrong.
bwe@Matthew:12:18 ...He said, This is...
bwe@Matthew:12:24 @...about it. They said, This man...
bwe@Matthew:12:32 @ Anyone who says anything against the Son of Man will be forgiven. But anyone who says anything against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. He will not be forgiven in this world or in the next world.
bwe@Matthew:13:22 @ Some seed fell among the weeds. That is like the person who hears the message. But he thinks about the things of this world. He wants to get money to be happy. These things push the message out of his heart. No good comes from it.
bwe@Matthew:13:39 @ The bad man who planted the weeds is the devil. The harvest time is the end of this world. The men who cut the harvest are angels.
bwe@Matthew:14:1 @ At this time Herod the ruler heard of Jesus.
bwe@Matthew:14:2 @...said to his servants, This is...
bwe@Matthew:14:3 @ Herod had taken John and tied him up. He put him in prison. He did this because of Herodias. She was the wife of his brother Philip.
bwe@Matthew:14:15 @...to him. They said, This is...
bwe@Matthew:14:24 @ The boat was far out on the water by this time. The water was beating against the boat and the wind was blowing the wrong way.
bwe@Matthew:15:18 @...comes from the heart. This is...
bwe@Matthew:15:32 @ The disciples said to him, Where can we get enough food in this lonely place to feed so many people?
bwe@Matthew:16:18 @ I tell you this. You are Peter. On this rock I will build my church. The power of death will not destroy it.
bwe@Matthew:16:22 @...God stop it! This must...
bwe@Matthew:17:4 @ Peter said to Jesus, Lord, this is a good place for us. If you want, we will make three places here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
bwe@Matthew:17:5 @...in the cloud said, This is...
bwe@Matthew:17:20 @ Jesus said to them, Because you do not believe enough. I tell you the truth. If your strength to believe were as much as a little mustard seed, you could say to this hill, "Go, move over to that place!" And it would move. Nothing is too hard for you to do.
bwe@Matthew:17:21 @ But this kind of bad spirit does not come out of a person unless people ask God and fast <FI>do not eat food for a time<Fi>.
bwe@Matthew:17:23 @...on the third day. This troubled...
bwe@Matthew:18:4 @ So anyone who feels himself small like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
bwe@Matthew:18:5 @ If anyone takes in a child like this for my sake, he takes in me.
bwe@Matthew:18:28 @...and met another servant. This man...
bwe@Matthew:18:29 @ Then this servant bowed down in front of him. He begged, "Give me time. I will pay you."
bwe@Matthew:19:1 @ When Jesus had finished this talk, he left Galilee. He went away to the part of Judea that is on the other side of the Jordan River.
bwe@Matthew:19:7 @ They said to Jesus, Then why did Moses make this law? He said that a man may give his wife a paper to show that he does not want her any more. Then he may send her away.
bwe@Matthew:19:21 @ Jesus said, If you want to be all right, go and sell everything you have. Give the money to poor people. For this you will be rich in heaven. Then come and go with me.
bwe@Matthew:19:24 @ And I tell you this also. It is easier for a big animal like a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
bwe@Matthew:21:4 @ This happened, and what the prophet of God said long ago, came true.
bwe@Matthew:21:11 @...were with Jesus said, This is...
bwe@Matthew:21:21 @ Jesus said to them, I tell you the truth. Believe God. Do not doubt him. Then you can do what I did to this fig tree. But that is not all. You can even say to this hill, "Go and jump into the sea" and it will be done.
bwe@Matthew:21:44 @ If anyone falls on this stone, he will be broken to pieces. But if this stone falls on anyone, it will crush him.
bwe@Matthew:22:24 @ They came to ask him a question. They said, Teacher, Moses gave us this law: "If a man dies and has no children, then his brother must marry the wife and raise a family for his brother."
bwe@Matthew:22:38 @ This is the first and greatest law.
bwe@Matthew:24:3 @ Jesus was sitting on the hill called the Mount of Olives. The disciples came to him alone. They said, Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign to show you are coming and that it is the end of this world?
bwe@Matthew:24:14 @ This good news about the kingdom will be told in all the world. The people in all countries must know about it. And then the end will come.
bwe@Matthew:24:15 @ Daniel the prophet said that people would put something very bad in the temple. (Let the one who reads this understand it.)
bwe@Matthew:24:46 @ The servant who is doing this when his master comes, will be blessed.
bwe@Matthew:25:30 @ Take this good-for-nothing servant! Put him out in the dark place outside. People there will cry and make a noise with their teeth."
bwe@Matthew:26:26 @ As they were eating, Jesus took some bread. He thanked God for it and broke it. He gave it to the disciples and said, Take this bread and eat it. It is my body.
bwe@Matthew:26:28 @ This is my blood. My blood is the blood of the new agreement. It is given so that many people will be forgiven for the wrong things they did.
bwe@Matthew:26:31 @ Then Jesus said to them, All of you will leave me this night. The holy writings say, "I will kill the one who takes care of the sheep. And the sheep will run away."
bwe@Matthew:26:34 @...tell you the truth. This night,...
bwe@Matthew:26:39 @ Jesus went on a little further. He bowed down with his face to the ground. He talked to God and said, My Father, if it can be, let this cup of trouble pass by me. But do not do what I want. May what you want be done.
bwe@Matthew:26:42 @ Jesus went away again. He talked to God and said, My Father, if you do not want this cup to pass by me, but you want me to drink it, I will do what you want.
bwe@Matthew:26:54 @ But then, how would Gods word come true? The holy writings say that this is the way it must be.
bwe@Matthew:26:56 @ All this happened so that what the prophets said in the holy writings would come true. Then all the disciples left Jesus and ran away.
bwe@Matthew:26:58 @ Peter followed Jesus a long way behind. He went as far as the yard of the high priests house. He sat down with the people who worked for the high priest. He wanted to see how this would end.
bwe@Matthew:26:61 ...They said, This man...
bwe@Matthew:26:64 @ Jesus answered him, Yes, I am. Also I tell you that after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the One who has all power. You will see him coming on the clouds in the sky!
bwe@Matthew:26:71 @ Peter went out to the gate. There, another servant-...the others around there, This man...
bwe@Matthew:27:6 @ The chief priests took the money. They said, It is not right to put this money in the money box of the temple. It has been used to buy a mans death.
bwe@Matthew:27:24 @ Pilate saw that he was not doing any good. And the people were making a lot of loud noise. So he washed his hands in water in front of the people. Then he said, I will not say this man must be killed. You must do that.
bwe@Matthew:27:37 @...were written there: This is...
bwe@Matthew:27:47 @...Jesus said. They said This man...
bwe@Matthew:27:54 @ The Roman captain and some of his soldiers were guarding Jesus on the cross. When they saw the earth shake and the other things happen, they were very much afraid. They said, Surely this man was Gods Son.
bwe@Matthew:27:64 @...he rose from death. This last...
bwe@Matthew:27:66 @...stayed to guard it. This was...
bwe@Matthew:28:15 @ The soldiers took the money. They did as they were told to do. And even to this day, many of the Jewish leaders say this is what happened to Jesus.
bwe@Mark:1:1 @ This is the beginning of the good news about Jesus Christ, Gods Son.
bwe@Mark:1:2 @ The men of God, called prophets, long ago wrote about it this way: God said, See, I send my man ahead of you to tell about you. He will make the way ready for you.
bwe@Mark:1:27 @ The people were all surprised. They said one to another, What is this? Is not this a new teaching? He tells the bad spirits what to do and even they obey him
bwe@Mark:2:7 @ They were thinking, Why does this man say such wrong things against God? He is not giving God respect! Who can forgive the wrong things people do? No one but God can do that.
bwe@Mark:2:12 @ Right away the man stood up in front of them. He took up his mat and went home. They were all very much surprised, and they praised God. They said, We have never seen anything like this before.
bwe@Mark:3:10 @ He did this because he healed many people. All who were sick tried to touch him.
bwe@Mark:3:22 @ The scribes who came from Jerusalem also talked about Jesus. They said, Beelzebub, the chief of bad spirits, is in this man. He drives out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub.
bwe@Mark:3:30 @ Jesus said all this because the scribes said, A bad spirit is in him.
bwe@Mark:4:13 @ Jesus said also, Do you not understand this story? How then are you going to understand all the stories?
bwe@Mark:4:19 @ But they think about the things of this world. They want to get money and other things to be happy. These things push the message out of their hearts. No good comes from it.
bwe@Mark:5:8 @ He said this because Jesus had said to him, You bad spirit, come out of the man.
bwe@Mark:6:22 @...and danced for them. This pleased...
bwe@Mark:6:35 @...to him. They said, This is...
bwe@Mark:7:6 @ Jesus said to them, Isaiah spoke the truth about you people! You are not true to yourselves! He wrote about you this way: "These people respect me with their mouths. But their hearts are far from me. They do not mean it in their hearts when they worship me. Their teachings are only words of men."
bwe@Mark:8:4 @ His disciples answered, Where can anyone get enough food in this lonely place to feed so many people?
bwe@Mark:8:32 @ Jesus said this very plainly. Peter took him to one side and began to tell him not to say such things.
bwe@Mark:8:37 @ What can a person give to get back his soul? People have gone away from God and are full of wrong ways. If anyone in this time is ashamed of me and the things I say, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of that person when he comes. The Son of Man will come with his holy angels, and be great like his Father.
bwe@Mark:9:5 @ Then Peter said to Jesus, Master, this is a good place for us. We will make three places, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
bwe@Mark:9:7 @...in the cloud said, This is...
bwe@Mark:9:21 @ Jesus asked the father, How long has he had this spirit? He answered, Since he was a child.
bwe@Mark:9:29 @...Jesus said to them, This kind...
bwe@Mark:9:37 @ If anyone takes in a child like this for my sake, he takes in me. If anyone takes in me, he takes in the One who sent me.
bwe@Mark:10:2 @ The Pharisees came to him and asked, Is it right for a man to send his wife away from him? They asked this to test Jesus.
bwe@Mark:10:10 @ When they were in the house, the disciples asked Jesus about this matter.
bwe@Mark:10:30 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. If any man has left his house, or his brothers, or his sisters, his mother, or his father, or his children, or farms, for my sake and for the sake of the good news, he will receive his pay in this life. He will have a hundred times as many houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and farms. He will have trouble also. But in the next world he will live for ever.
bwe@Mark:11:23 @ I tell you the truth. Anyone may say to this hill, "Go and jump into the sea." He must not doubt in his heart, but he must believe that he will have the things he asks for and he will have them.
bwe@Mark:12:4 @ He sent another servant. They hurt this one also, and cut his head. The things they did to him were very wrong.
bwe@Mark:12:10 @ Have you not read this writing: "The stone which the builders would not use is now the chief stone of the corner. The Lord did this. It looks wonderful to us."?
bwe@Mark:12:12 @ They tried to catch Jesus but they feared the people. They knew that Jesus had spoken this against them. So they left him and went away.
bwe@Mark:12:19 @ Teacher, they said, Moses gave us this law: if a man dies and leaves a wife but no children, then his brother must marry the wife and raise a family for his brother.
bwe@Mark:12:43 @...tell you the truth. This poor...
bwe@Mark:13:4 @ They said, Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign when these things are going to be done?
bwe@Mark:13:14 @ Daniel the Man of God said that people would put something very bad in the temple. (Let the one who reads this understand it.) When that happens, the people in Judea must go quickly to the hills.
bwe@Mark:13:37 @ What I say to you I say to everybody, and this is "Watch".
bwe@Mark:14:4 @ Some people there were angry. They said, Why was this oil wasted like that?
bwe@Mark:14:22 @ As they were eating, Jesus took some bread. He thanked God for it and broke it. Then he gave it to the disciples and said, Take this bread and eat it. It is my body.
bwe@Mark:14:24 @...he said to them, This is...
bwe@Mark:14:27 @ Jesus said to them, All of you will leave me this night. the holy writings say, "I will kill the one who takes care of the sheep. And the sheep will run away."
bwe@Mark:14:30 @...tell you the truth. This very...
bwe@Mark:14:35 @ Jesus went on a little farther. He fell on the ground and asked God that, if it could be so, this big trouble might pass by him.
bwe@Mark:14:36 @ He said, Oh, my Father, you can do all things. Take this cup away from me. But do not do what I want, but what you want.
bwe@Mark:14:56 @ Many people came and said things that were not true. But one said this thing and the other said that thing.
bwe@Mark:14:58 @ They said, We heard him say, "I will break down this temple which people have built with hands. In three days I will build another temple but not with hands."
bwe@Mark:14:69 @...other people standing by, This man...
bwe@Mark:14:71 @ Then Peter began to curse and say bad words. He said, I do not know this man you are talking about!
bwe@Mark:15:39 @ The captain who stood in front of Jesus saw that he died. He said, Surely, this man was Gods Son.
bwe@Luke:1:9 @...of dividing their work. This day...<FI>that smells sweet when it is burned<Fi>.
bwe@Luke:1:10 @ All the people were talking to God outside the temple at this time.
bwe@Luke:1:18 @ Then Zechariah said to the angel, How can I know that this will happen? I am an old man and my wife is also old.
bwe@Luke:1:19 @ The angel answered him, I am Gabriel and I stand before God. I have been sent to talk to you and to bring you this good news.
bwe@Luke:1:20 @...all this has happened. This is...
bwe@Luke:1:25 @ She said to herself, The Lord has done this for me. At this time he has remembered me so that I need not be ashamed among people anymore.
bwe@Luke:1:29 @ What the angel said troubled Mary. She wondered what this greeting meant.
bwe@Luke:1:34 @ Then Mary said to the angel, How can this happen? I have no husband.
bwe@Luke:1:36 @...an old woman. This is...
bwe@Luke:1:66 @ All those who heard them thought much about them. They said, What will this child be some day? They said this because the power of the Lord was with him.
bwe@Luke:2:2 @ This was the first time names were written in a book in this way. Quirinius was the ruler of Syria at that time.
bwe@Luke:2:4 @...of Bethlehem in Judea. This was...
bwe@Luke:2:7 @ This was her first child, a son. She wrapped him in a cloth and laid him in a box where cows feed. There was no room for them in the house for strangers.
bwe@Luke:2:10 @...bring you good news! This news...
bwe@Luke:2:12 @ This is the way you will know him. You will find a baby wrapped in a cloth, lying in a box where cows feed.
bwe@Luke:2:23 @ This is what is written in the law of the Lord: Every boy who is the first child of his mother will be holy for the Lord.
bwe@Luke:2:31 @ You have made this way for all peoples to be saved.
bwe@Luke:2:48 @ His parents were surprised when they saw him. His mother said to him, Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been looking for you. We have been very troubled.
bwe@Luke:4:3 @ The devil said to him, If you are Gods Son, tell this stone to be changed into bread.
bwe@Luke:4:6 @ He said to Jesus, I will give you the right to rule over all these countries. They will make you great. All this has been given to me. I can give it to anyone I want.
bwe@Luke:4:22 @ They all began to talk about him. They were surprised to hear him say such good words. They asked, Is not this Josephs son?
bwe@Luke:4:23 @ Then Jesus said, I know that you will say this to me "Doctor, heal yourself. We have heard what you did in Capernaum. Do the same things here in your own country."
bwe@Luke:5:21 @ The scribes and Pharisees began to talk about this. They said, Who is this man that is not giving respect to God? No one but God can forgive anyone for the wrong things they have done.
bwe@Luke:7:4 @ They came to Jesus and begged him very much. They said, He is a good man. You should come and do this for him.
bwe@Luke:7:9 @ Jesus was surprised when he heard this. He turned to the people who followed him. He said, I tell you, I have not found a Jew who believes as this man does.
bwe@Luke:7:39 @ The Pharisee who had asked Jesus to his house saw this. He said to himself, If this man were a prophet of God, he would know what kind of woman is touching him. She is a bad woman.
bwe@Luke:7:44 @ Then he turned towards the woman. He said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me water to wash my feet. But she has washed my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
bwe@Luke:7:49 @ Then those who were at the table with him began to say to themselves, Who is this man? He even forgives people for the wrong things they have done.
bwe@Luke:8:9 @ His disciples asked Jesus what this story meant.
bwe@Luke:8:14 @ Some seeds fell among the weeds. They are like people who hear the word. But they think about the things of this world. They want to get money and things to be happy in this life. As they go on in life, these things push the message out of their hearts and no good comes from them.
bwe@Luke:8:29 @ He said this because Jesus had told the bad spirit to come out of the man. Many times the spirit had taken hold of the man. People had guarded him. They had tied him with chains and strong ropes. But he broke the chains and ropes. The bad spirit drove him into the desert.
bwe@Luke:8:30 @ Jesus asked him, What is your name? He answered, My name is An Army. He said this because many bad spirits had gone into him.
bwe@Luke:9:9 @ Herod said, I cut off Johns head. Now who is this man of whom I hear such things? He wanted to see Jesus.
bwe@Luke:9:12 @...something to eat. This is...
bwe@Luke:9:21 @ Jesus said to them, Do not tell this to anyone.
bwe@Luke:9:31 @ Light was shining from them. They talked about his leaving this world. That would happen when he was in Jerusalem.
bwe@Luke:9:35 @...in the cloud said, This is...
bwe@Luke:9:48 @ Then he said, If anyone takes in a child like this for my sake, he takes in me. And if anyone takes in me, he takes in the one who sent me. The one who takes the least or lowest place among you is the greatest.
bwe@Luke:10:1 @ After this the Lord chose seventy other men. He sent them ahead of him, two by two. He sent them to every town and village that he was going to visit.
bwe@Luke:10:2 @ He said to them, The harvest is much, but there are not many people to gather it. So talk to the Lord of this harvest and ask him to send out people to his harvest.
bwe@Luke:10:5 @ When you go into a house, first say, "May God give peace to this family."
bwe@Luke:10:11 @...is on our feet. This will...
bwe@Luke:10:35 @ The next day he gave two pieces of money to the man who was in charge of the house for strangers. He said, "Take care of this man. If it costs you more than this, I will pay you when I come back.
bwe@Luke:11:15 @...some of them said, This man...
bwe@Luke:11:48 @ In this way you show you agree to the things your fathers did. They killed the prophets, and you build places to bury them.
bwe@Luke:12:41 @ Peter said, Lord, are you telling this story for us or for all the people?
bwe@Luke:12:43 @ His master will bless that servant if he is doing this when he comes!
bwe@Luke:13:6 @ Then Jesus told this story: A man had a fruit tree on his farm. He came to look for fruit on it, but did not find any.
bwe@Luke:13:7 @ He said to the man who cared for the trees, "For three years I have come to look for fruit on this tree, but I have not found any. Cut it down. Why should it spoil my farmland?"
bwe@Luke:13:16 @ This woman belongs to Abrahams family. Satan has tied her for eighteen years. Is it not right that she should be set free on the Sabbath day?
bwe@Luke:14:9 @ Then the man who called you both will come and say to you, "Get up and let this man sit here." Then you will be ashamed. And you will go and sit down in the last place.
bwe@Luke:15:2 @...said to each other, This man...
bwe@Luke:15:3 @ So Jesus told them this story.
bwe@Luke:15:24 @ This is my son. He was dead and now he is alive again. He was lost and is found." And they began to have a good time.
bwe@Luke:15:30 @ But now this son of yours has come back. He has spent all your money and was with bad women. And yet you kill the fat calf for him!"
bwe@Luke:16:2 @ he called the manager and asked him, "What is this I hear about you? Tell me what you have done. You cannot be my manager any more."
bwe@Luke:16:8 @ Then the master praised the manager who did wrong. He praised him because he did what was wise. The people of this world are wiser than the people who have the Light. They know how to get along with people like themselves.
bwe@Luke:16:24 @...and cool my tongue. This fire...
bwe@Luke:16:28 @ I have five brothers there. Tell him to talk to them so that they will not come to this place where there is pain."
bwe@Luke:17:6 @ The Lord said, If you believe as much as a little mustard seed, then you can say to this tree, "Come up by the roots and plant yourself in the sea." And it would obey you.
bwe@Luke:17:18 @ Is this stranger the only one who has come back to praise God?
bwe@Luke:17:27 @ People ate and drank. They married and gave their daughters to be married. All this went on until the day when Noah went into his house built on a boat. Then there was much water and all the people outside the boat died.
bwe@Luke:17:37 @ They asked him, Where will this be, Lord? He said, The big birds that eat meat will go to the place where the dead body is.
bwe@Luke:18:5 @ But this woman is troubling me. So I will save her from her enemy. If I do not, she will keep coming until I am tired."
bwe@Luke:18:9 @ There were some people who thought they were very good. And they thought that other people were not good. Jesus told this story to them.
bwe@Luke:18:11 @ The Pharisee stood and said to himself, "God, I thank you that I am not like other men. They steal, cheat, and commit adultery. I thank you that I am not like this tax collector.
bwe@Luke:18:14 @ I tell you, when this man went home, he was right with God. The other one was not. Everyone who puts himself up in a high place will be brought down to a low place. And everyone who puts himself in a low place will be brought up to a high place.
bwe@Luke:18:30 @ Jesus said to them, I tell you the truth. If any man has left his house, or his wife, or his brothers, or his father, or his mother, or his children for the sake of the kingdom of God, he will receive many times as much as he has left. He will receive that in this world. And in the next world he will live for ever.
bwe@Luke:18:37 @ They told him, Jesus of Nazareth is passing this way.
bwe@Luke:19:9 @ Jesus said to him, The head of this house has been saved today! He also is a son of Abraham.
bwe@Luke:19:13 @ Before he left, he called ten of his servants. He gave each of them some money. He said, "Go and trade with this money until I come back."
bwe@Luke:19:14 @ His people hated him. They chose some men and sent them after him to tell the king, "We do not want this man to rule over us."
bwe@Luke:19:40 @ Jesus answered, I tell you, if they do not speak like this the stones will call out.
bwe@Luke:20:9 @ Then Jesus began to tell the people this story. A man planted a farm. He let some men use the farm. They paid him money for the rent. Then he went to a country far away and stayed a long time.
bwe@Luke:20:11 @ So he sent another servant. They beat this one also, and did wrong things to him. And they sent him away without any fruit.
bwe@Luke:20:12 @ He sent a servant the third time. They hurt this one also and threw him out of the farm.
bwe@Luke:20:17 @ But Jesus looked right at them. He said, What about this writing then? "The stone which the builders would not use is now the chief corner stone."
bwe@Luke:20:19 @ The scribes and the chief priests wanted to catch Jesus right then but they feared the people. They understood that he had told this story against them.
bwe@Luke:20:20 @ So they watched for a chance to catch him. And they sent men to spy on him. These men acted as if they were good men. They did this because they wanted to catch him in something that he said. They wanted to give him over to the ruler who would judge and punish him.
bwe@Luke:20:28 @ They came to ask Jesus a question. Teacher, they said, Moses gave us this law: "If a man dies and leaves a wife but no children, then his brother must marry the wife and raise a family for his brother."
bwe@Luke:20:34 @ Jesus said to them, Men and women in this world marry.
bwe@Luke:21:3 @...tell you the truth. This poor...
bwe@Luke:21:7 @ They asked him, Teacher, when will this happen? What will be the sign when these things are going to be done?
bwe@Luke:21:13 @ This will be a chance for you to talk about me.
bwe@Luke:21:34 @ But take care. Do not think too much about eating, drinking, and things in this life. If you do, that day will come and catch you like a trap.
bwe@Luke:22:1 @...no yeast in it. This is...
bwe@Luke:22:15 @ He said to them, I have wanted very much to eat this Passover Feast with you before my troubles come.
bwe@Luke:22:19 @...the disciples and said, This is...
bwe@Luke:22:20 @...had eaten. He said, This cup...
bwe@Luke:22:34 @...tell you this, Peter. This very...
bwe@Luke:22:36 @ He said, But this time, anyone who has money should take it and his bag too. Anyone who has no sword should sell his coat and buy one.
bwe@Luke:22:42 @ He said, Father, if you will, take this cup away from me. But do not do what I want but what you want.
bwe@Luke:22:53 @ I was with you every day in the temple. You did not try to catch me then. But this is your time now, the time of the power of darkness.
bwe@Luke:22:56 @...at him and said, This man...
bwe@Luke:22:59 @ About an hour later another person said, Surely this man was with him. He comes from Galilee.
bwe@Luke:22:69 @ From this time on the Son of Man will sit beside God who has all power.
bwe@Luke:23:2 @...against him. They said, This man...
bwe@Luke:23:4 @ Pilate said to the chief priests and to the people, I find nothing wrong in this man.
bwe@Luke:23:5 @ But they said all the more, He troubles the people by his teaching. He has been teaching people in all the country of Judea. He began in Galilee and has come as far as this city.
bwe@Luke:23:6 @ When Pilate heard this, he asked, Is this man from Galilee?
bwe@Luke:23:14 @ He said to them, You brought this man to me. You said he is leading your people to do wrong. I have asked questions here in front of you. I have found nothing wrong in this man.
bwe@Luke:23:15 @...him back to us. This man...
bwe@Luke:23:18 @ But they all shouted, Kill this man! Let Barabbas go free for us!
bwe@Luke:23:31 @ If this is what people do when the wood is new, what will they do when it is old?
bwe@Luke:23:38 @...above Jesus head said, This is...
bwe@Luke:23:41 @ It is right for us to be punished because we have done wrong things. But this man has done nothing bad.
bwe@Luke:23:47 @ The captain saw all this. Then he praised God. He said, Surely, this was a good man!
bwe@Luke:23:53 @ He took the body down from the cross. He wrapped it in a linen cloth and laid it in a grave cut in a rock. No one had ever been put in this grave.
bwe@Luke:24:16 @ Jesus asked them, What is this that you are talking about as you walk along looking so sad?
bwe@Luke:24:20 @...that is not all. This is...
bwe@Luke:24:21 @ Some of our women told us things that surprised us. Early this morning they were at the grave.
bwe@Luke:24:25 @ Christ had to have this trouble and go to the place where he will be great, did he not?
bwe@Luke:24:41 @ Then he said, I told you this while I was with you. I told you that things were written about me in the books of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms. And I told you that all of these things must come true.
bwe@John:1:13 @ They were born into Gods family by God. That is, they were not born into his family in the way a person is born into this world. It was not by any persons will.
bwe@John:1:17 @ Moses gave the law, but Jesus Christ gave this loving kindness and truth.
bwe@John:1:23 @...straight for the Lord." This is...
bwe@John:1:34 @...I have told you. This man...
bwe@John:2:11 @ This was the first big work that Jesus did. It was in Cana in Galilee. He showed that he was great. And his disciples believed in him.
bwe@John:2:12 @ After this he went to the town called Capernaum. His mother, his brothers, and his disciples also went with him. They stayed there for a few days.
bwe@John:2:19 @ Jesus answered them, Break down this temple and in three days I will raise it up.
bwe@John:2:20 @ The Jewish leaders said, It took forty-six years to build this temple. Do you say you will raise it in three days?
bwe@John:2:22 @ After Jesus died and had been raised from death, the disciples remembered that he had said this to them. Then they believed what the holy writings say. They also believed what Jesus had said to them.
bwe@John:3:2 @ One night Nicodemus came to Jesus. He said, Master, we know you are a teacher sent by God. We know this because no person could do the big works you are doing if God did not help him.
bwe@John:3:5 @...tell you the truth. This new...
bwe@John:3:24 @ This was before John was put in prison.
bwe@John:4:11 @ Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us this well? He drank water from this well, also his children and cattle.
bwe@John:4:12 @ Jesus answered her, Anyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.
bwe@John:4:14 @ The woman said, Sir, give me this water. Then I will never be thirsty again. I will not need to come here to draw water.
bwe@John:4:18 @ The woman said, Sir, this shows me you are a prophet of God.
bwe@John:4:19 @ Our fathers came to this mountain to worship God. But you people say Jerusalem is the place people must go to worship him.
bwe@John:4:20 @ Jesus said, Woman, believe what I say. The time is coming when you will not come to this mountain or to Jerusalem to worship my Father.
