nkjv@Info @ The New King James Version was conceived by Arthur Farstad in an effort to translate into everyday English the literal context of the scriptures, just as the King James Version did in the 16th century.

nkjv@Genesis:1:11 @ Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth"; and it was so.

nkjv@Genesis:1:12 @ And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

nkjv@Genesis:1:14 @ Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;

nkjv@Genesis:1:15 @ and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so.

nkjv@Genesis:1:16 @ Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.

nkjv@Genesis:1:17 @ God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth,

nkjv@Genesis:1:18 @ and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

nkjv@Genesis:1:21 @ So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

nkjv@Genesis:1:24 @ Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so.

nkjv@Genesis:1:25 @ And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

nkjv@Genesis:1:26 @ Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

nkjv@Genesis:1:28 @ Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

nkjv@Genesis:1:29 @ And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.

nkjv@Genesis:1:30 @ Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food"; and it was so.

nkjv@Genesis:2:5 @ before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;

nkjv@Genesis:2:9 @ And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

nkjv@Genesis:2:10 @ Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads.

nkjv@Genesis:2:15 @ Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.

nkjv@Genesis:2:18 @ And the LORD God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him."

nkjv@Genesis:2:19 @ Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.

nkjv@Genesis:2:20 @ So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.

nkjv@Genesis:2:21 @ And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.

nkjv@Genesis:2:22 @ Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

nkjv@Genesis:2:24 @ Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

nkjv@Genesis:3:1 @ Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, "You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?"

nkjv@Genesis:3:2 @ And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;

nkjv@Genesis:3:4 @ Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die.

nkjv@Genesis:3:6 @ So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

nkjv@Genesis:3:9 @ Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, "Where are you?"

nkjv@Genesis:3:12 @ Then the man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."

nkjv@Genesis:3:13 @ And the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."

nkjv@Genesis:3:14 @ So the LORD God said to the serpent: "Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All the days of your life.

nkjv@Genesis:3:16 @ To the woman He said: "I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you."

nkjv@Genesis:3:17 @ Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, "You shall not eat of it': "Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life.

nkjv@Genesis:3:19 @ In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return."

nkjv@Genesis:3:22 @ Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"--

nkjv@Genesis:3:23 @ therefore the LORD God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.

nkjv@Genesis:3:24 @ So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

nkjv@Genesis:4:3 @ And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the LORD.

nkjv@Genesis:4:6 @ So the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen?

nkjv@Genesis:4:8 @ Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.

nkjv@Genesis:4:9 @ Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"

nkjv@Genesis:4:10 @ And He said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground.

nkjv@Genesis:4:11 @ So now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

nkjv@Genesis:4:12 @ When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. A fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth."

nkjv@Genesis:4:13 @ And Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is greater than I can bear!

nkjv@Genesis:4:15 @ And the LORD said to him, "Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD set a mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him.

nkjv@Genesis:4:18 @ To Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methushael, and Methushael begot Lamech.

nkjv@Genesis:4:23 @ Then Lamech said to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, listen to my speech! For I have killed a man for wounding me, Even a young man for hurting me.

nkjv@Genesis:4:26 @ And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on the name of the LORD.

nkjv@Genesis:6:1 @ Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,

nkjv@Genesis:6:4 @ There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

nkjv@Genesis:6:13 @ And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:6:16 @ You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.

nkjv@Genesis:6:17 @ And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die.

nkjv@Genesis:6:19 @ And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.

nkjv@Genesis:6:20 @ Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive.

nkjv@Genesis:6:21 @ And you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them."

nkjv@Genesis:6:22 @ Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.

nkjv@Genesis:7:1 @ Then the LORD said to Noah, "Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.

nkjv@Genesis:7:3 @ also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:7:4 @ For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made."

nkjv@Genesis:7:5 @ And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.

nkjv@Genesis:7:9 @ two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

nkjv@Genesis:7:10 @ And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:7:15 @ And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life.

nkjv@Genesis:8:1 @ Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.

nkjv@Genesis:8:6 @ So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.

nkjv@Genesis:8:7 @ Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:8:8 @ He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground.

nkjv@Genesis:8:9 @ But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself.

nkjv@Genesis:8:11 @ Then the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:8:12 @ So he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which did not return again to him anymore.

nkjv@Genesis:8:13 @ And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and indeed the surface of the ground was dry.

nkjv@Genesis:8:15 @ Then God spoke to Noah, saying,

nkjv@Genesis:8:19 @ Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever creeps on the earth, according to their families, went out of the ark.

nkjv@Genesis:8:20 @ Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

nkjv@Genesis:9:1 @ So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:9:8 @ Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying:

nkjv@Genesis:9:11 @ Thus I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth."

nkjv@Genesis:9:15 @ and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

nkjv@Genesis:9:16 @ The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."

nkjv@Genesis:9:17 @ And God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth."

nkjv@Genesis:9:20 @ And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.

nkjv@Genesis:9:24 @ So Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him.

nkjv@Genesis:9:25 @ Then he said: "Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brethren."

nkjv@Genesis:10:1 @ Now this is the genealogy of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood.

nkjv@Genesis:10:5 @ From these the coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.

nkjv@Genesis:10:8 @ Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:10:11 @ From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,

nkjv@Genesis:10:20 @ These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands and in their nations.

nkjv@Genesis:10:21 @ And children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.

nkjv@Genesis:10:25 @ To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

nkjv@Genesis:10:31 @ These were the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, according to their nations.

nkjv@Genesis:10:32 @ These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.

nkjv@Genesis:11:2 @ And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.

nkjv@Genesis:11:3 @ Then they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.

nkjv@Genesis:11:5 @ But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.

nkjv@Genesis:11:6 @ And the LORD said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.

nkjv@Genesis:11:31 @ And Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram's wife, and they went out with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran and dwelt there.

nkjv@Genesis:12:1 @...from your father's house, To a...

nkjv@Genesis:12:4 @ So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

nkjv@Genesis:12:5 @ Then Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they departed to go to the land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan.

nkjv@Genesis:12:6 @ Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, as far as the terebinth tree of Moreh. And the Canaanites were then in the land.

nkjv@Genesis:12:7 @ Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your descendants I will give this land." And there he built an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him.

nkjv@Genesis:12:8 @ And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD.

nkjv@Genesis:12:10 @ Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to dwell there, for the famine was severe in the land.

nkjv@Genesis:12:11 @ And it came to pass, when he was close to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "Indeed I know that you are a woman of beautiful countenance.

nkjv@Genesis:12:15 @ The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken to Pharaoh's house.

nkjv@Genesis:12:18 @ And Pharaoh called Abram and said, "What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?

nkjv@Genesis:13:1 @ Then Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, to the South.

nkjv@Genesis:13:3 @ And he went on his journey from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

nkjv@Genesis:13:4 @ to the place of the altar which he had made there at first. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

nkjv@Genesis:13:6 @ Now the land was not able to support them, that they might dwell together, for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together.

nkjv@Genesis:13:8 @ So Abram said to Lot, "Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren.

nkjv@Genesis:13:9 @ Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left."

nkjv@Genesis:13:14 @ And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: "Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are--northward, southward, eastward, and westward;

nkjv@Genesis:13:15 @ for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever.

nkjv@Genesis:13:17 @ Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you."

nkjv@Genesis:13:18 @ Then Abram moved his tent, and went and dwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to the LORD.

nkjv@Genesis:14:1 @ And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations,

nkjv@Genesis:14:7 @ Then they turned back and came to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and attacked all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who dwelt in Hazezon Tamar.

nkjv@Genesis:14:10 @ Now the Valley of Siddim was full of asphalt pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled; some fell there, and the remainder fled to the mountains.

nkjv@Genesis:14:17 @ And the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley), after his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him.

nkjv@Genesis:14:21 @ Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the persons, and take the goods for yourself."

nkjv@Genesis:14:22 @ But Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have raised my hand to the LORD, God Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth,

nkjv@Genesis:14:23 @ that I will take nothing, from a thread to a sandal strap, and that I will not take anything that is yours, lest you should say, "I have made Abram rich'--

nkjv@Genesis:15:1 @ After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward."

nkjv@Genesis:15:4 @ And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, "This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir."

nkjv@Genesis:15:5 @ Then He brought him outside and said, "Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them." And He said to him, "So shall your descendants be."

nkjv@Genesis:15:6 @ And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.

nkjv@Genesis:15:7 @ Then He said to him, "I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it."

nkjv@Genesis:15:9 @ So He said to him, "Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon."

nkjv@Genesis:15:10 @ Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, down the middle, and placed each piece opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds in two.

nkjv@Genesis:15:13 @ Then He said to Abram: "Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years.

nkjv@Genesis:15:15 @ Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age.

nkjv@Genesis:15:17 @ And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces.

nkjv@Genesis:15:18 @ On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: "To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates--

nkjv@Genesis:16:2 @ So Sarai said to Abram, "See now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing children. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I shall obtain children by her." And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai.

nkjv@Genesis:16:3 @ Then Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan.

nkjv@Genesis:16:4 @ So he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress became despised in her eyes.

nkjv@Genesis:16:5 @ Then Sarai said to Abram, "My wrong be upon you! I gave my maid into your embrace; and when she saw that she had conceived, I became despised in her eyes. The LORD judge between you and me."

nkjv@Genesis:16:6 @ So Abram said to Sarai, "Indeed your maid is in your hand; do to her as you please." And when Sarai dealt harshly with her, she fled from her presence.

nkjv@Genesis:16:7 @ Now the Angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.

nkjv@Genesis:16:9 @ The Angel of the LORD said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hand."

nkjv@Genesis:16:10 @ Then the Angel of the LORD said to her, "I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude."

nkjv@Genesis:16:11 @ And the Angel of the LORD said to her: "Behold, you are with child, And you shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, Because the LORD has heard your affliction.

nkjv@Genesis:16:13 @ Then she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, "Have I also here seen Him who sees me?"

nkjv@Genesis:16:16 @ Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

nkjv@Genesis:17:1 @ When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.

nkjv@Genesis:17:7 @ And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.

nkjv@Genesis:17:8 @ Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God."

nkjv@Genesis:17:9 @ And God said to Abraham: "As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.

nkjv@Genesis:17:15 @ Then God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.

nkjv@Genesis:17:17 @ Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, "Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?"

nkjv@Genesis:17:18 @ And Abraham said to God, "Oh, that Ishmael might live before You!"

nkjv@Genesis:17:21 @ But My covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time next year."

nkjv@Genesis:17:23 @ So Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house and all who were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very same day, as God had said to him.

nkjv@Genesis:18:1 @ Then the LORD appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day.

nkjv@Genesis:18:2 @ So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground,

nkjv@Genesis:18:5 @ And I will bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh your hearts. After that you may pass by, inasmuch as you have come to your servant." They said, "Do as you have said."

nkjv@Genesis:18:6 @ So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, "Quickly, make ready three measures of fine meal; knead it and make cakes."

nkjv@Genesis:18:7 @ And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hastened to prepare it.

nkjv@Genesis:18:9 @ Then they said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" So he said, "Here, in the tent."

nkjv@Genesis:18:10 @ And He said, "I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son." (Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.)

nkjv@Genesis:18:13 @ And the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, "Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?'

nkjv@Genesis:18:14 @ Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son."

nkjv@Genesis:18:16 @ Then the men rose from there and looked toward Sodom, and Abraham went with them to send them on the way.

nkjv@Genesis:18:19 @ For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice, that the LORD may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him."

nkjv@Genesis:18:21 @ I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know."

nkjv@Genesis:18:25 @ Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"

nkjv@Genesis:18:27 @ Then Abraham answered and said, "Indeed now, I who am but dust and ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord:

nkjv@Genesis:18:29 @ And he spoke to Him yet again and said, "Suppose there should be forty found there?" So He said, "I will not do it for the sake of forty."

nkjv@Genesis:18:31 @ And he said, "Indeed now, I have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord: Suppose twenty should be found there?" So He said, "I will not destroy it for the sake of twenty."

nkjv@Genesis:18:33 @ So the LORD went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.

nkjv@Genesis:19:1 @ Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground.

nkjv@Genesis:19:2 @ And he said, "Here now, my lords, please turn in to your servant's house and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way." And they said, "No, but we will spend the night in the open square."

nkjv@Genesis:19:3 @ But he insisted strongly; so they turned in to him and entered his house. Then he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

nkjv@Genesis:19:5 @ And they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally."

nkjv@Genesis:19:6 @ So Lot went out to them through the doorway, shut the door behind him,

nkjv@Genesis:19:8 @ See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish; only do nothing to these men, since this is the reason they have come under the shadow of my roof."

nkjv@Genesis:19:9 @ And they said, "Stand back!" Then they said, "This one came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them." So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door.

nkjv@Genesis:19:11 @ And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they became weary trying to find the door.

nkjv@Genesis:19:12 @ Then the men said to Lot, "Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city--take them out of this place!

nkjv@Genesis:19:13 @ For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it."

nkjv@Genesis:19:14 @ So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, "Get up, get out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city!" But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking.

nkjv@Genesis:19:15 @ When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, "Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city."

nkjv@Genesis:19:16 @ And while he lingered, the men took hold of his hand, his wife's hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.

nkjv@Genesis:19:17 @ So it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that he said, "Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed."

nkjv@Genesis:19:18 @ Then Lot said to them, "Please, no, my lords!

nkjv@Genesis:19:19 @ Indeed now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have increased your mercy which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, lest some evil overtake me and I die.

nkjv@Genesis:19:20 @ See now, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one; please let me escape there (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live."

nkjv@Genesis:19:21 @ And he said to him, "See, I have favored you concerning this thing also, in that I will not overthrow this city for which you have spoken.

nkjv@Genesis:19:27 @ And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD.

nkjv@Genesis:19:29 @ And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot had dwelt.

nkjv@Genesis:19:30 @ Then Lot went up out of Zoar and dwelt in the mountains, and his two daughters were with him; for he was afraid to dwell in Zoar. And he and his two daughters dwelt in a cave.

nkjv@Genesis:19:31 @ Now the firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is no man on the earth to come in to us as is the custom of all the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:19:34 @ It happened on the next day that the firstborn said to the younger, "Indeed I lay with my father last night; let us make him drink wine tonight also, and you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve the lineage of our father."

nkjv@Genesis:19:37 @ The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

nkjv@Genesis:19:38 @ And the younger, she also bore a son and called his name Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the people of Ammon to this day.

nkjv@Genesis:20:1 @ And Abraham journeyed from there to the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and stayed in Gerar.

nkjv@Genesis:20:3 @ But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, "Indeed you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man's wife."

nkjv@Genesis:20:5 @ Did he not say to me, "She is my sister'? And she, even she herself said, "He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this."

nkjv@Genesis:20:6 @ And God said to him in a dream, "Yes, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart. For I also withheld you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her.

nkjv@Genesis:20:9 @ And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, "What have you done to us? How have I offended you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done."

nkjv@Genesis:20:10 @ Then Abimelech said to Abraham, "What did you have in view, that you have done this thing?"

nkjv@Genesis:20:13 @ And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, "This is your kindness that you should do for me: in every place, wherever we go, say of me, "He is my brother.""'

nkjv@Genesis:20:14 @ Then Abimelech took sheep, oxen, and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham; and he restored Sarah his wife to him.

nkjv@Genesis:20:16 @ Then to Sarah he said, "Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; indeed this vindicates you before all who are with you and before everybody." Thus she was rebuked.

nkjv@Genesis:20:17 @ So Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. Then they bore children;

nkjv@Genesis:21:2 @ For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

nkjv@Genesis:21:3 @ And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him--whom Sarah bore to him--Isaac.

nkjv@Genesis:21:5 @ Now Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

nkjv@Genesis:21:7 @ She also said, "Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age."

nkjv@Genesis:21:9 @ And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, scoffing.

nkjv@Genesis:21:10 @ Therefore she said to Abraham, "Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac."

nkjv@Genesis:21:12 @ But God said to Abraham, "Do not let it be displeasing in your sight because of the lad or because of your bondwoman. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice; for in Isaac your seed shall be called.

nkjv@Genesis:21:14 @ So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water; and putting it on her shoulder, he gave it and the boy to Hagar, and sent her away. Then she departed and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.

nkjv@Genesis:21:16 @ Then she went and sat down across from him at a distance of about a bowshot; for she said to herself, "Let me not see the death of the boy." So she sat opposite him, and lifted her voice and wept.

nkjv@Genesis:21:17 @ And God heard the voice of the lad. Then the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, "What ails you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.

nkjv@Genesis:21:22 @ And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech and Phichol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying, "God is with you in all that you do.

nkjv@Genesis:21:23 @ Now therefore, swear to me by God that you will not deal falsely with me, with my offspring, or with my posterity; but that according to the kindness that I have done to you, you will do to me and to the land in which you have dwelt."

nkjv@Genesis:21:27 @ So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.

nkjv@Genesis:21:32 @ Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba. So Abimelech rose with Phichol, the commander of his army, and they returned to the land of the Philistines.

nkjv@Genesis:22:1 @ Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."

nkjv@Genesis:22:2 @ Then He said, "Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

nkjv@Genesis:22:3 @ So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.

nkjv@Genesis:22:5 @ And Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you."

nkjv@Genesis:22:7 @ But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, "My father!" And he said, "Here I am, my son." Then he said, "Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"

nkjv@Genesis:22:9 @ Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.

nkjv@Genesis:22:10 @ And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

nkjv@Genesis:22:11 @ But the Angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" So he said, "Here I am."

nkjv@Genesis:22:12 @ And He said, "Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me."

nkjv@Genesis:22:14 @ And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, "In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided."

nkjv@Genesis:22:15 @ Then the Angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time out of heaven,

nkjv@Genesis:22:19 @ So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.

nkjv@Genesis:22:20 @ Now it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, "Indeed Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

nkjv@Genesis:22:23 @ And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

nkjv@Genesis:23:2 @ So Sarah died in Kirjath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.

nkjv@Genesis:23:3 @ Then Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,

nkjv@Genesis:23:5 @ And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,

nkjv@Genesis:23:7 @ Then Abraham stood up and bowed himself to the people of the land, the sons of Heth.

nkjv@Genesis:23:9 @ that he may give me the cave of Machpelah which he has, which is at the end of his field. Let him give it to me at the full price, as property for a burial place among you."

nkjv@Genesis:23:11 @ "No, my lord, hear me: I give you the field and the cave that is in it; I give it to you in the presence of the sons of my people. I give it to you. Bury your dead!"

nkjv@Genesis:23:13 @ and he spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, "If you will give it, please hear me. I will give you money for the field; take it from me and I will bury my dead there."

nkjv@Genesis:23:14 @ And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,

nkjv@Genesis:23:15 @ "My lord, listen to me; the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver. What is that between you and me? So bury your dead."

nkjv@Genesis:23:16 @ And Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed out the silver for Ephron which he had named in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, currency of the merchants.

nkjv@Genesis:23:18 @ to Abraham as a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.

nkjv@Genesis:23:20 @ So the field and the cave that is in it were deeded to Abraham by the sons of Heth as property for a burial place.

nkjv@Genesis:24:2 @ So Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, "Please, put your hand under my thigh,

nkjv@Genesis:24:4 @ but you shall go to my country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac."

nkjv@Genesis:24:5 @ And the servant said to him, "Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I take your son back to the land from which you came?"

nkjv@Genesis:24:6 @ But Abraham said to him, "Beware that you do not take my son back there.

nkjv@Genesis:24:7 @ The LORD God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, "To your descendants I give this land,' He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

nkjv@Genesis:24:8 @ And if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be released from this oath; only do not take my son back there."

nkjv@Genesis:24:9 @ So the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.

nkjv@Genesis:24:10 @ Then the servant took ten of his master's camels and departed, for all his master's goods were in his hand. And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.

nkjv@Genesis:24:11 @ And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water at evening time, the time when women go out to draw water.

nkjv@Genesis:24:12 @ Then he said, "O LORD God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

nkjv@Genesis:24:13 @ Behold, here I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.

nkjv@Genesis:24:14 @ Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say, "Please let down your pitcher that I may drink,' and she says, "Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink'--let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master."

nkjv@Genesis:24:15 @ And it happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her pitcher on her shoulder.

nkjv@Genesis:24:16 @ Now the young woman was very beautiful to behold, a virgin; no man had known her. And she went down to the well, filled her pitcher, and came up.

nkjv@Genesis:24:17 @ And the servant ran to meet her and said, "Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher."

nkjv@Genesis:24:18 @ So she said, "Drink, my lord." Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand, and gave him a drink.

nkjv@Genesis:24:20 @ Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough, ran back to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.

nkjv@Genesis:24:21 @ And the man, wondering at her, remained silent so as to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.

nkjv@Genesis:24:23 @ and said, "Whose daughter are you? Tell me, please, is there room in your father's house for us to lodge?"

nkjv@Genesis:24:24 @ So she said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel, Milcah's son, whom she bore to Nahor."

nkjv@Genesis:24:25 @ Moreover she said to him, "We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge."

nkjv@Genesis:24:27 @ And he said, "Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken His mercy and His truth toward my master. As for me, being on the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren."

nkjv@Genesis:24:29 @ Now Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban, and Laban ran out to the man by the well.

nkjv@Genesis:24:30 @ So it came to pass, when he saw the nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister's wrists, and when he heard the words of his sister Rebekah, saying, "Thus the man spoke to me," that he went to the man. And there he stood by the camels at the well.

nkjv@Genesis:24:32 @ Then the man came to the house. And he unloaded the camels, and provided straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.

nkjv@Genesis:24:33 @ Food was set before him to eat, but he said, "I will not eat until I have told about my errand." And he said, "Speak on."

nkjv@Genesis:25:6 @ But Abraham gave gifts to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had; and while he was still living he sent them eastward, away from Isaac his son, to the country of the east.

nkjv@Genesis:27:34 @ When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me--me also, O my father!"

nkjv@Genesis:27:37 @ Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, "Indeed I have made him your master, and all his brethren I have given to him as servants; with grain and wine I have sustained him. What shall I do now for you, my son?"

nkjv@Genesis:27:45 @ until your brother's anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him; then I will send and bring you from there. Why should I be bereaved also of you both in one day?"

nkjv@Genesis:27:46 @ And Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these who are the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?"

nkjv@Genesis:28:7 @ and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and had gone to Padan Aram.

nkjv@Genesis:28:9 @ So Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had.

nkjv@Genesis:28:11 @ So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep.

nkjv@Genesis:28:12 @ Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

nkjv@Genesis:29:13 @ Then it came to pass, when Laban heard the report about Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. So he told Laban all these things.

nkjv@Genesis:29:14 @ And Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh." And he stayed with him for a month.

nkjv@Genesis:29:15 @ Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what should your wages be?

nkjv@Genesis:29:19 @ And Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."

nkjv@Genesis:29:20 @ So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed only a few days to him because of the love he had for her.

nkjv@Genesis:29:21 @ Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her."

nkjv@Genesis:29:24 @ And Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah as a maid.

nkjv@Genesis:29:25 @ So it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served you? Why then have you deceived me?"

nkjv@Genesis:29:26 @ And Laban said, "It must not be done so in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.

nkjv@Genesis:29:29 @ And Laban gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as a maid.

nkjv@Genesis:30:30 @ For what you had before I came was little, and it has increased to a great amount; the LORD has blessed you since my coming. And now, when shall I also provide for my own house?"

nkjv@Genesis:30:33 @ So my righteousness will answer for me in time to come, when the subject of my wages comes before you: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the lambs, will be considered stolen, if it is with me."

nkjv@Genesis:30:34 @ And Laban said, "Oh, that it were according to your word!"

nkjv@Genesis:30:38 @ And the rods which he had peeled, he set before the flocks in the gutters, in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink, so that they should conceive when they came to drink.

nkjv@Genesis:30:41 @ And it came to pass, whenever the stronger livestock conceived, that Jacob placed the rods before the eyes of the livestock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.

nkjv@Genesis:31:3 @ Then the LORD said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers and to your family, and I will be with you."

nkjv@Genesis:31:4 @ So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field, to his flock,

nkjv@Genesis:31:5 @ and said to them, "I see your father's countenance, that it is not favorable toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.

nkjv@Genesis:31:7 @ Yet your father has deceived me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt me.

nkjv@Genesis:31:9 @ So God has taken away the livestock of your father and given them to me.

nkjv@Genesis:31:14 @ Then Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, "Is there still any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?

nkjv@Genesis:31:16 @ For all these riches which God has taken from our father are really ours and our children's; now then, whatever God has said to you, do it."

nkjv@Genesis:31:18 @ And he carried away all his livestock and all his possessions which he had gained, his acquired livestock which he had gained in Padan Aram, to go to his father Isaac in the land of Canaan.

nkjv@Genesis:31:19 @ Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel had stolen the household idols that were her father's.

nkjv@Genesis:31:20 @ And Jacob stole away, unknown to Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he intended to flee.

nkjv@Genesis:31:24 @ But God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, "Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad."

nkjv@Genesis:31:26 @ And Laban said to Jacob: "What have you done, that you have stolen away unknown to me, and carried away my daughters like captives taken with the sword?

nkjv@Genesis:31:28 @ And you did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters. Now you have done foolishly in so doing.

nkjv@Genesis:31:29 @ It is in my power to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, "Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.'

nkjv@Genesis:31:31 @ Then Jacob answered and said to Laban, "Because I was afraid, for I said, "Perhaps you would take your daughters from me by force.'

nkjv@Genesis:31:35 @ And she said to her father, "Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise before you, for the manner of women is with me." And he searched but did not find the household idols.

nkjv@Genesis:31:36 @ Then Jacob was angry and rebuked Laban, and Jacob answered and said to Laban: "What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have so hotly pursued me?

nkjv@Genesis:31:39 @ That which was torn by beasts I did not bring to you; I bore the loss of it. You required it from my hand, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

nkjv@Genesis:31:43 @ And Laban answered and said to Jacob, "These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and this flock is my flock; all that you see is mine. But what can I do this day to these my daughters or to their children whom they have borne?

nkjv@Genesis:31:46 @ Then Jacob said to his brethren, "Gather stones." And they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there on the heap.

nkjv@Genesis:31:51 @ Then Laban said to Jacob, "Here is this heap and here is this pillar, which I have placed between you and me.

nkjv@Genesis:31:52 @ This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not pass beyond this heap to you, and you will not pass beyond this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.

nkjv@Genesis:31:54 @ Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread. And they ate bread and stayed all night on the mountain.

nkjv@Genesis:31:55 @ And early in the morning Laban arose, and kissed his sons and daughters and blessed them. Then Laban departed and returned to his place.

nkjv@Genesis:32:3 @ Then Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.

nkjv@Genesis:32:4 @ And he commanded them, saying, "Speak thus to my lord Esau, "Thus your servant Jacob says: "I have dwelt with Laban and stayed there until now.

nkjv@Genesis:32:5 @ I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, and male and female servants; and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.""'

nkjv@Genesis:32:6 @ Then the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau, and he also is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him."

nkjv@Genesis:32:8 @ And he said, "If Esau comes to the one company and attacks it, then the other company which is left will escape."

nkjv@Genesis:32:9 @ Then Jacob said, "O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, the LORD who said to me, "Return to your country and to your family, and I will deal well with you':

nkjv@Genesis:32:13 @ So he lodged there that same night, and took what came to his hand as a present for Esau his brother:

nkjv@Genesis:32:16 @ Then he delivered them to the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, "Pass over before me, and put some distance between successive droves."

nkjv@Genesis:32:18 @ then you shall say, "They are your servant Jacob's. It is a present sent to my lord Esau; and behold, he also is behind us."'

nkjv@Genesis:32:19 @ So he commanded the second, the third, and all who followed the droves, saying, "In this manner you shall speak to Esau when you find him;

nkjv@Genesis:32:27 @ So He said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."

nkjv@Genesis:32:30 @ So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."

nkjv@Genesis:32:32 @ Therefore to this day the children of Israel do not eat the muscle that shrank, which is on the hip socket, because He touched the socket of Jacob's hip in the muscle that shrank.

nkjv@Genesis:33:3 @ Then he crossed over before them and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

nkjv@Genesis:33:4 @ But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.

nkjv@Genesis:33:8 @ Then Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" And he said, "These are to find favor in the sight of my lord."

nkjv@Genesis:33:11 @ Please, take my blessing that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough." So he urged him, and he took it.

nkjv@Genesis:33:13 @ But Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are weak, and the flocks and herds which are nursing are with me. And if the men should drive them hard one day, all the flock will die.

nkjv@Genesis:33:14 @ Please let my lord go on ahead before his servant. I will lead on slowly at a pace which the livestock that go before me, and the children, are able to endure, until I come to my lord in Seir."

nkjv@Genesis:33:16 @ So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.

nkjv@Genesis:33:17 @ And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, built himself a house, and made booths for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.

nkjv@Genesis:33:18 @ Then Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan Aram; and he pitched his tent before the city.

nkjv@Genesis:34:1 @ Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

nkjv@Genesis:34:3 @ His soul was strongly attracted to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman and spoke kindly to the young woman.

nkjv@Genesis:34:4 @ So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, "Get me this young woman as a wife."

nkjv@Genesis:34:6 @ Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.

nkjv@Genesis:34:7 @ And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved and very angry, because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, a thing which ought not to be done.

nkjv@Genesis:34:8 @ But Hamor spoke with them, saying, "The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.

nkjv@Genesis:34:9 @ And make marriages with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to yourselves.

nkjv@Genesis:34:11 @ Then Shechem said to her father and her brothers, "Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give.

nkjv@Genesis:34:12 @ Ask me ever so much dowry and gift, and I will give according to what you say to me; but give me the young woman as a wife."

nkjv@Genesis:34:14 @ And they said to them, "We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a reproach to us.

nkjv@Genesis:34:15 @ But on this condition we will consent to you: If you will become as we are, if every male of you is circumcised,

nkjv@Genesis:34:16 @ then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us; and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.

nkjv@Genesis:34:19 @ So the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob's daughter. He was more honorable than all the household of his father.

nkjv@Genesis:34:20 @ And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying:

nkjv@Genesis:34:21 @ "These men are at peace with us. Therefore let them dwell in the land and trade in it. For indeed the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us as wives, and let us give them our daughters.

nkjv@Genesis:34:22 @ Only on this condition will the men consent to dwell with us, to be one people: if every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised.

nkjv@Genesis:34:23 @ Will not their livestock, their property, and every animal of theirs be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us."

nkjv@Genesis:34:25 @ Now it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the city and killed all the males.

nkjv@Genesis:34:30 @ Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have troubled me by making me obnoxious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and since I am few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and kill me. I shall be destroyed, my household and I."

nkjv@Genesis:35:1 @ Then God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there; and make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother."

nkjv@Genesis:35:2 @ And Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments.

nkjv@Genesis:35:3 @ Then let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me in the way which I have gone."

nkjv@Genesis:35:6 @ So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

nkjv@Genesis:35:7 @ And he built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, because there God appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.

nkjv@Genesis:35:9 @ Then God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan Aram, and blessed him.

nkjv@Genesis:35:10 @ And God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, but Israel shall be your name." So He called his name Israel.

nkjv@Genesis:35:11 @ Also God said to him: "I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body.

nkjv@Genesis:35:12 @ The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your descendants after you I give this land."

nkjv@Genesis:35:16 @ Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel labored in childbirth, and she had hard labor.

nkjv@Genesis:35:17 @ Now it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, "Do not fear; you will have this son also."

nkjv@Genesis:35:19 @ So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

nkjv@Genesis:35:20 @ And Jacob set a pillar on her grave, which is the pillar of Rachel's grave to this day.

nkjv@Genesis:35:26 @ and the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maidservant, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Padan Aram.

nkjv@Genesis:35:27 @ Then Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, or Kirjath Arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had dwelt.

nkjv@Genesis:35:29 @ So Isaac breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

nkjv@Genesis:36:4 @ Now Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, and Basemath bore Reuel.

nkjv@Genesis:36:5 @ And Aholibamah bore Jeush, Jaalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

nkjv@Genesis:36:6 @ Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the persons of his household, his cattle and all his animals, and all his goods which he had gained in the land of Canaan, and went to a country away from the presence of his brother Jacob.

nkjv@Genesis:36:7 @ For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together, and the land where they were strangers could not support them because of their livestock.

nkjv@Genesis:36:12 @ Now Timna was the concubine of Eliphaz, Esau's son, and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These were the sons of Adah, Esau's wife.

nkjv@Genesis:36:14 @ These were the sons of Aholibamah, Esau's wife, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon. And she bore to Esau: Jeush, Jaalam, and Korah.

nkjv@Genesis:36:30 @ Chief Dishon, Chief Ezer, and Chief Dishan. These were the chiefs of the Horites, according to their chiefs in the land of Seir.

nkjv@Genesis:36:43 @ Chief Magdiel, and Chief Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom, according to their dwelling places in the land of their possession. Esau was the father of the Edomites.

nkjv@Genesis:37:2 @ This is the history of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph brought a bad report of them to his father.

nkjv@Genesis:37:4 @ But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him.

nkjv@Genesis:37:5 @ Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more.

nkjv@Genesis:37:6 @ So he said to them, "Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:

nkjv@Genesis:37:7 @ There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf."

nkjv@Genesis:37:8 @ And his brothers said to him, "Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?" So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.

nkjv@Genesis:37:9 @ Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said, "Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me."

nkjv@Genesis:37:10 @ So he told it to his father and his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, "What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall your mother and I and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?"

nkjv@Genesis:37:13 @ And Israel said to Joseph, "Are not your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, I will send you to them." So he said to him, "Here I am."

nkjv@Genesis:37:14 @ Then he said to him, "Please go and see if it is well with your brothers and well with the flocks, and bring back word to me." So he sent him out of the Valley of Hebron, and he went to Shechem.

nkjv@Genesis:37:17 @ And the man said, "They have departed from here, for I heard them say, "Let us go to Dothan."' So Joseph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan.

nkjv@Genesis:37:18 @ Now when they saw him afar off, even before he came near them, they conspired against him to kill him.

nkjv@Genesis:37:19 @ Then they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming!

nkjv@Genesis:37:22 @ And Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness, and do not lay a hand on him"--that he might deliver him out of their hands, and bring him back to his father.

nkjv@Genesis:37:23 @ So it came to pass, when Joseph had come to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him.

nkjv@Genesis:37:25 @ And they sat down to eat a meal. Then they lifted their eyes and looked, and there was a company of Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead with their camels, bearing spices, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry them down to Egypt.

nkjv@Genesis:37:26 @ So Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is there if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?

nkjv@Genesis:37:27 @ Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother and our flesh." And his brothers listened.

nkjv@Genesis:37:28 @ Then Midianite traders passed by; so the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.

nkjv@Genesis:37:29 @ Then Reuben returned to the pit, and indeed Joseph was not in the pit; and he tore his clothes.

nkjv@Genesis:37:30 @ And he returned to his brothers and said, "The lad is no more; and I, where shall I go?"

nkjv@Genesis:37:32 @ Then they sent the tunic of many colors, and they brought it to their father and said, "We have found this. Do you know whether it is your son's tunic or not?"

nkjv@Genesis:37:33 @ And he recognized it and said, "It is my son's tunic. A wild beast has devoured him. Without doubt Joseph is torn to pieces."

nkjv@Genesis:37:35 @ And all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, and he said, "For I shall go down into the grave to my son in mourning." Thus his father wept for him.

nkjv@Genesis:37:36 @ Now the Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.

nkjv@Genesis:38:1 @ It came to pass at that time that Judah departed from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite whose name was Hirah.

nkjv@Genesis:38:2 @ And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua, and he married her and went in to her.

nkjv@Genesis:38:8 @ And Judah said to Onan, "Go in to your brother's wife and marry her, and raise up an heir to your brother."

nkjv@Genesis:38:9 @ But Onan knew that the heir would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother's wife, that he emitted on the ground, lest he should give an heir to his brother.

nkjv@Genesis:38:11 @ Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, "Remain a widow in your father's house till my son Shelah is grown." For he said, "Lest he also die like his brothers." And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.

nkjv@Genesis:38:12 @ Now in the process of time the daughter of Shua, Judah's wife, died; and Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

nkjv@Genesis:38:13 @ And it was told Tamar, saying, "Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep."

nkjv@Genesis:38:14 @ So she took off her widow's garments, covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place which was on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as a wife.

nkjv@Genesis:38:16 @ Then he turned to her by the way, and said, "Please let me come in to you"; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. So she said, "What will you give me, that you may come in to me?"

nkjv@Genesis:38:18 @ Then he said, "What pledge shall I give you?" So she said, "Your signet and cord, and your staff that is in your hand." Then he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.

nkjv@Genesis:38:20 @ And Judah sent the young goat by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand, but he did not find her.

nkjv@Genesis:38:22 @ So he returned to Judah and said, "I cannot find her. Also, the men of the place said there was no harlot in this place."

nkjv@Genesis:38:24 @ And it came to pass, about three months after, that Judah was told, saying, "Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot; furthermore she is with child by harlotry." So Judah said, "Bring her out and let her be burned!"

nkjv@Genesis:38:25 @ When she was brought out, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, "By the man to whom these belong, I am with child." And she said, "Please determine whose these are--the signet and cord, and staff."

nkjv@Genesis:38:26 @ So Judah acknowledged them and said, "She has been more righteous than I, because I did not give her to Shelah my son." And he never knew her again.

nkjv@Genesis:38:27 @ Now it came to pass, at the time for giving birth, that behold, twins were in her womb.

nkjv@Genesis:39:1 @ Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there.

nkjv@Genesis:39:3 @ And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand.

nkjv@Genesis:39:7 @ And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said, "Lie with me."

nkjv@Genesis:39:8 @ But he refused and said to his master's wife, "Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand.

nkjv@Genesis:39:10 @ So it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not heed her, to lie with her or to be with her.

nkjv@Genesis:39:11 @ But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside,

nkjv@Genesis:39:14 @ that she called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, "See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.

nkjv@Genesis:39:22 @ And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison; whatever they did there, it was his doing.

nkjv@Genesis:40:1 @ It came to pass after these things that the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

nkjv@Genesis:40:6 @ And Joseph came in to them in the morning and looked at them, and saw that they were sad.

nkjv@Genesis:40:8 @ And they said to him, "We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it." So Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please."

nkjv@Genesis:40:9 @ Then the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "Behold, in my dream a vine was before me,

nkjv@Genesis:40:16 @ When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, "I also was in my dream, and there were three white baskets on my head.

nkjv@Genesis:40:20 @ Now it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.

nkjv@Genesis:40:21 @ Then he restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand.

nkjv@Genesis:40:22 @ But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

nkjv@Genesis:41:1 @ Then it came to pass, at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh had a dream; and behold, he stood by the river.

nkjv@Genesis:41:8 @ Now it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh.

nkjv@Genesis:41:9 @ Then the chief butler spoke to Pharaoh, saying: "I remember my faults this day.

nkjv@Genesis:41:11 @ we each had a dream in one night, he and I. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream.

nkjv@Genesis:41:12 @ Now there was a young Hebrew man with us there, a servant of the captain of the guard. And we told him, and he interpreted our dreams for us; to each man he interpreted according to his own dream.

nkjv@Genesis:41:13 @ And it came to pass, just as he interpreted for us, so it happened. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him."

nkjv@Genesis:41:14 @ Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon; and he shaved, changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh.

nkjv@Genesis:41:15 @ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that you can understand a dream, to interpret it."

nkjv@Genesis:41:24 @ And the thin heads devoured the seven good heads. So I told this to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."

nkjv@Genesis:41:25 @ Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are one; God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do:

nkjv@Genesis:41:28 @ This is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

nkjv@Genesis:41:34 @ Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, to collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt in the seven plentiful years.

nkjv@Genesis:41:38 @ And Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"

nkjv@Genesis:41:39 @ Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.

nkjv@Genesis:41:44 @ Pharaoh also said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt."

nkjv@Genesis:41:50 @ And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him.

nkjv@Genesis:41:52 @ And the name of the second he called Ephraim: "For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction."

nkjv@Genesis:41:54 @ and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

nkjv@Genesis:41:55 @ So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Then Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, do."

nkjv@Genesis:41:56 @ The famine was over all the face of the earth, and Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine became severe in the land of Egypt.

nkjv@Genesis:41:57 @ So all countries came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all lands.

nkjv@Genesis:42:1 @ When Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, "Why do you look at one another?"

nkjv@Genesis:42:2 @ And he said, "Indeed I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down to that place and buy for us there, that we may live and not die."

nkjv@Genesis:42:3 @ So Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt.

nkjv@Genesis:42:5 @ And the sons of Israel went to buy grain among those who journeyed, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

nkjv@Genesis:42:6 @ Now Joseph was governor over the land; and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:42:7 @ Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he acted as a stranger to them and spoke roughly to them. Then he said to them, "Where do you come from?" And they said, "From the land of Canaan to buy food."

nkjv@Genesis:42:9 @ Then Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them, and said to them, "You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land!"

nkjv@Genesis:42:10 @ And they said to him, "No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.

nkjv@Genesis:42:12 @ But he said to them, "No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land."

nkjv@Genesis:42:14 @ But Joseph said to them, "It is as I spoke to you, saying, "You are spies!'

nkjv@Genesis:42:16 @ Send one of you, and let him bring your brother; and you shall be kept in prison, that your words may be tested to see whether there is any truth in you; or else, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies!"

nkjv@Genesis:42:18 @ Then Joseph said to them the third day, "Do this and live, for I fear God:

nkjv@Genesis:42:19 @ If you are honest men, let one of your brothers be confined to your prison house; but you, go and carry grain for the famine of your houses.

nkjv@Genesis:42:20 @ And bring your youngest brother to me; so your words will be verified, and you shall not die." And they did so.

nkjv@Genesis:42:21 @ Then they said to one another, "We are truly guilty concerning our brother, for we saw the anguish of his soul when he pleaded with us, and we would not hear; therefore this distress has come upon us."

nkjv@Genesis:42:22 @ And Reuben answered them, saying, "Did I not speak to you, saying, "Do not sin against the boy'; and you would not listen? Therefore behold, his blood is now required of us."

nkjv@Genesis:42:23 @ But they did not know that Joseph understood them, for he spoke to them through an interpreter.

nkjv@Genesis:42:24 @ And he turned himself away from them and wept. Then he returned to them again, and talked with them. And he took Simeon from them and bound him before their eyes.

nkjv@Genesis:42:25 @ Then Joseph gave a command to fill their sacks with grain, to restore every man's money to his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. Thus he did for them.

nkjv@Genesis:42:27 @ But as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey feed at the encampment, he saw his money; and there it was, in the mouth of his sack.

nkjv@Genesis:42:28 @ So he said to his brothers, "My money has been restored, and there it is, in my sack!" Then their hearts failed them and they were afraid, saying to one another, "What is this that God has done to us?"

nkjv@Genesis:42:29 @ Then they went to Jacob their father in the land of Canaan and told him all that had happened to them, saying:

nkjv@Genesis:42:30 @ "The man who is lord of the land spoke roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.

nkjv@Genesis:42:31 @ But we said to him, "We are honest men; we are not spies.

nkjv@Genesis:42:33 @ Then the man, the lord of the country, said to us, "By this I will know that you are honest men: Leave one of your brothers here with me, take food for the famine of your households, and be gone.

nkjv@Genesis:42:34 @ And bring your youngest brother to me; so I shall know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. I will grant your brother to you, and you may trade in the land."'

nkjv@Genesis:42:36 @ And Jacob their father said to them, "You have bereaved me: Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin. All these things are against me."

nkjv@Genesis:42:37 @ Then Reuben spoke to his father, saying, "Kill my two sons if I do not bring him back to you; put him in my hands, and I will bring him back to you."

nkjv@Genesis:42:38 @ But he said, "My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is left alone. If any calamity should befall him along the way in which you go, then you would bring down my gray hair with sorrow to the grave."

nkjv@Genesis:43:2 @ And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, "Go back, buy us a little food."

nkjv@Genesis:43:3 @ But Judah spoke to him, saying, "The man solemnly warned us, saying, "You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.'

nkjv@Genesis:43:5 @ But if you will not send him, we will not go down; for the man said to us, "You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you."'

nkjv@Genesis:43:6 @ And Israel said, "Why did you deal so wrongfully with me as to tell the man whether you had still another brother?"

nkjv@Genesis:43:7 @ But they said, "The man asked us pointedly about ourselves and our family, saying, "Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?' And we told him according to these words. Could we possibly have known that he would say, "Bring your brother down'?"

nkjv@Genesis:43:8 @ Then Judah said to Israel his father, "Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones.

nkjv@Genesis:43:9 @ I myself will be surety for him; from my hand you shall require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.

nkjv@Genesis:43:11 @ And their father Israel said to them, "If it must be so, then do this: Take some of the best fruits of the land in your vessels and carry down a present for the man--a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds.

nkjv@Genesis:43:19 @ When they drew near to the steward of Joseph's house, they talked with him at the door of the house,

nkjv@Genesis:43:20 @ and said, "O sir, we indeed came down the first time to buy food;

nkjv@Genesis:43:23 @ But he said, "Peace be with you, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money." Then he brought Simeon out to them.

nkjv@Genesis:43:26 @ And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed down before him to the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:43:29 @ Then he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, "Is this your younger brother of whom you spoke to me?" And he said, "God be gracious to you, my son."

nkjv@Genesis:43:30 @ Now his heart yearned for his brother; so Joseph made haste and sought somewhere to weep. And he went into his chamber and wept there.

nkjv@Genesis:43:32 @ So they set him a place by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves; because the Egyptians could not eat food with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.

nkjv@Genesis:43:33 @ And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth; and the men looked in astonishment at one another.

nkjv@Genesis:43:34 @ Then he took servings to them from before him, but Benjamin's serving was five times as much as any of theirs. So they drank and were merry with him.

nkjv@Genesis:44:2 @ Also put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his grain money." So he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

nkjv@Genesis:44:4 @ When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, "Get up, follow the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, "Why have you repaid evil for good?

nkjv@Genesis:44:6 @ So he overtook them, and he spoke to them these same words.

nkjv@Genesis:44:7 @ And they said to him, "Why does my lord say these words? Far be it from us that your servants should do such a thing.

nkjv@Genesis:44:10 @ And he said, "Now also let it be according to your words; he with whom it is found shall be my slave, and you shall be blameless."

nkjv@Genesis:44:11 @ Then each man speedily let down his sack to the ground, and each opened his sack.

nkjv@Genesis:44:13 @ Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey and returned to the city.

nkjv@Genesis:44:17 @ But he said, "Far be it from me that I should do so; the man in whose hand the cup was found, he shall be my slave. And as for you, go up in peace to your father."

nkjv@Genesis:44:18 @ Then Judah came near to him and said: "O my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord's hearing, and do not let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even like Pharaoh.

nkjv@Genesis:45:23 @ And he sent to his father these things: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, bread, and food for his father for the journey.

nkjv@Genesis:45:24 @ So he sent his brothers away, and they departed; and he said to them, "See that you do not become troubled along the way."

nkjv@Genesis:45:25 @ Then they went up out of Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.

nkjv@Genesis:45:27 @ But when they told him all the words which Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the carts which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.

nkjv@Genesis:46:1 @ So Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

nkjv@Genesis:46:2 @ Then God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob!" And he said, "Here I am."

nkjv@Genesis:46:5 @ Then Jacob arose from Beersheba; and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, their little ones, and their wives, in the carts which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

nkjv@Genesis:46:6 @ So they took their livestock and their goods, which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to Egypt, Jacob and all his descendants with him.

nkjv@Genesis:46:7 @ His sons and his sons' sons, his daughters and his sons' daughters, and all his descendants he brought with him to Egypt.

nkjv@Genesis:46:8 @ Now these were the names of the children of Israel, Jacob and his sons, who went to Egypt: Reuben was Jacob's firstborn.

nkjv@Genesis:46:15 @ These were the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Padan Aram, with his daughter Dinah. All the persons, his sons and his daughters, were thirty-three.

nkjv@Genesis:46:18 @ These were the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter; and these she bore to Jacob: sixteen persons.

nkjv@Genesis:46:20 @ And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him.

nkjv@Genesis:46:27 @ And the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt were two persons. All the persons of the house of Jacob who went to Egypt were seventy.

nkjv@Genesis:46:28 @ Then he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to point out before him the way to Goshen. And they came to the land of Goshen.

nkjv@Genesis:46:29 @ So Joseph made ready his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel; and he presented himself to him, and fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while.

nkjv@Genesis:46:30 @ And Israel said to Joseph, "Now let me die, since I have seen your face, because you are still alive."

nkjv@Genesis:46:31 @ Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, "I will go up and tell Pharaoh, and say to him, "My brothers and those of my father's house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.

nkjv@Genesis:46:34 @ that you shall say, "Your servants' occupation has been with livestock from our youth even till now, both we and also our fathers,' that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians."

nkjv@Genesis:47:2 @ And he took five men from among his brothers and presented them to Pharaoh.

nkjv@Genesis:47:3 @ Then Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?" And they said to Pharaoh, "Your servants are shepherds, both we and also our fathers."

nkjv@Genesis:47:4 @ And they said to Pharaoh, "We have come to dwell in the land, because your servants have no pasture for their flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen."

nkjv@Genesis:47:12 @ Then Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all his father's household with bread, according to the number in their families.

nkjv@Genesis:47:15 @ So when the money failed in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For the money has failed."

nkjv@Genesis:47:17 @ So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the cattle of the herds, and for the donkeys. Thus he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock that year.

nkjv@Genesis:47:18 @ When that year had ended, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that our money is gone; my lord also has our herds of livestock. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our lands.

nkjv@Genesis:47:21 @ And as for the people, he moved them into the cities, from one end of the borders of Egypt to the other end.

nkjv@Genesis:47:22 @ Only the land of the priests he did not buy; for the priests had rations allotted to them by Pharaoh, and they ate their rations which Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their lands.

nkjv@Genesis:47:23 @ Then Joseph said to the people, "Indeed I have bought you and your land this day for Pharaoh. Look, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.

nkjv@Genesis:47:24 @ And it shall come to pass in the harvest that you shall give one-fifth to Pharaoh. Four-fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and for your food, for those of your households and as food for your little ones."

nkjv@Genesis:47:26 @ And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have one-fifth, except for the land of the priests only, which did not become Pharaoh's.

nkjv@Genesis:47:29 @ When the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, "Now if I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me in Egypt,

nkjv@Genesis:47:31 @ Then he said, "Swear to me." And he swore to him. So Israel bowed himself on the head of the bed.

nkjv@Genesis:48:1 @ Now it came to pass after these things that Joseph was told, "Indeed your father is sick"; and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.

nkjv@Genesis:48:2 @ And Jacob was told, "Look, your son Joseph is coming to you"; and Israel strengthened himself and sat up on the bed.

nkjv@Genesis:48:3 @ Then Jacob said to Joseph: "God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me,

nkjv@Exodus:1:18 @ So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, "Why have you done this thing, and saved the male children alive?"

nkjv@Exodus:1:19 @ And the midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are lively and give birth before the midwives come to them."

nkjv@Exodus:2:4 @ And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.

nkjv@Exodus:2:5 @ Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river. And her maidens walked along the riverside; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it.

nkjv@Exodus:2:8 @ And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." So the maiden went and called the child's mother.

nkjv@Exodus:2:9 @ Then Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages." So the woman took the child and nursed him.

nkjv@Exodus:2:10 @ And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. So she called his name Moses, saying, "Because I drew him out of the water."

nkjv@Exodus:2:11 @ Now it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren.

nkjv@Exodus:2:13 @ And when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, "Why are you striking your companion?"

nkjv@Exodus:2:14 @ Then he said, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" So Moses feared and said, "Surely this thing is known!"

nkjv@Exodus:2:15 @ When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well.

nkjv@Exodus:2:16 @ Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. And they came and drew water, and they filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

nkjv@Exodus:2:18 @ When they came to Reuel their father, he said, "How is it that you have come so soon today?"

nkjv@Exodus:2:20 @ So he said to his daughters, "And where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread."

nkjv@Exodus:2:21 @ Then Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.

nkjv@Exodus:2:23 @ Now it happened in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.

nkjv@Exodus:3:1 @ Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

nkjv@Exodus:3:2 @ And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed.

nkjv@Exodus:3:4 @ So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am."

nkjv@Exodus:3:6 @ Moreover He said, "I am the God of your father--the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.

nkjv@Exodus:3:8 @ So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.

nkjv@Exodus:6:29 @ that the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "I am the LORD. Speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you."

nkjv@Exodus:7:20 @ And Moses and Aaron did so, just as the LORD commanded. So he lifted up the rod and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants. And all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.

nkjv@Numbers:10:6 @ When you sound the advance the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall begin their journey; they shall sound the call for them to begin their journeys.

nkjv@Numbers:10:7 @ And when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but not sound the advance.

nkjv@Numbers:10:8 @ The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and these shall be to you as an ordinance forever throughout your generations.

nkjv@Numbers:10:9 @ "When you go to war in your land against the enemy who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.

nkjv@Numbers:10:11 @ Now it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle of the Testimony.

nkjv@Numbers:10:13 @ So they started out for the first time according to the command of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

nkjv@Numbers:10:14 @ The standard of the camp of the children of Judah set out first according to their armies; over their army was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

nkjv@Numbers:10:18 @ And the standard of the camp of Reuben set out according to their armies; over their army was Elizur the son of Shedeur.

nkjv@Numbers:10:22 @ And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set out according to their armies; over their army was Elishama the son of Ammihud.

nkjv@Numbers:10:25 @ Then the standard of the camp of the children of Dan (the rear guard of all the camps) set out according to their armies; over their army was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

nkjv@Numbers:10:28 @ Thus was the order of march of the children of Israel, according to their armies, when they began their journey.

nkjv@Numbers:10:29 @ Now Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said, "I will give it to you.' Come with us, and we will treat you well; for the LORD has promised good things to Israel."

nkjv@Numbers:10:30 @ And he said to him, "I will not go, but I will depart to my own land and to my relatives."

nkjv@Numbers:10:31 @ So Moses said, "Please do not leave, inasmuch as you know how we are to camp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.

nkjv@Numbers:10:32 @ And it shall be, if you go with us--indeed it shall be--that whatever good the LORD will do to us, the same we will do to you."

nkjv@Numbers:10:33 @ So they departed from the mountain of the LORD on a journey of three days; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them for the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.

nkjv@Numbers:11:2 @ Then the people cried out to Moses, and when Moses prayed to the LORD, the fire was quenched.

nkjv@Numbers:11:4 @ Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: "Who will give us meat to eat?

nkjv@Numbers:11:11 @ So Moses said to the LORD, "Why have You afflicted Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all these people on me?

nkjv@Numbers:11:12 @ Did I conceive all these people? Did I beget them, that You should say to me, "Carry them in your bosom, as a guardian carries a nursing child,' to the land which You swore to their fathers?

nkjv@Numbers:11:13 @ Where am I to get meat to give to all these people? For they weep all over me, saying, "Give us meat, that we may eat.'

nkjv@Numbers:11:14 @ I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me.

nkjv@Numbers:11:16 @ So the LORD said to Moses: "Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you.

nkjv@Numbers:11:18 @ Then you shall say to the people, "Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the hearing of the LORD, saying, "Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt." Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you shall eat.

nkjv@Numbers:11:20 @ but for a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you, because you have despised the LORD who is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, "Why did we ever come up out of Egypt?""'

nkjv@Numbers:11:22 @ Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to provide enough for them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to provide enough for them?"

nkjv@Numbers:11:23 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "Has the LORD's arm been shortened? Now you shall see whether what I say will happen to you or not."

nkjv@Numbers:11:25 @ Then the LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and placed the same upon the seventy elders; and it happened, when the Spirit rested upon them, that they prophesied, although they never did so again.

nkjv@Numbers:11:26 @ But two men had remained in the camp: the name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them. Now they were among those listed, but who had not gone out to the tabernacle; yet they prophesied in the camp.

nkjv@Numbers:11:29 @ Then Moses said to him, "Are you zealous for my sake? Oh, that all the LORD's people were prophets and that the LORD would put His Spirit upon them!"

nkjv@Numbers:11:30 @ And Moses returned to the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

nkjv@Numbers:11:34 @ So he called the name of that place Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had yielded to craving.

nkjv@Numbers:11:35 @ From Kibroth Hattaavah the people moved to Hazeroth, and camped at Hazeroth.

nkjv@Numbers:12:4 @ Suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, "Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of meeting!" So the three came out.

nkjv@Numbers:12:6 @ Then He said, If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream.

nkjv@Numbers:12:8 @...were you not afraid To speak...

nkjv@Numbers:12:11 @ So Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord! Please do not lay this sin on us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned.

nkjv@Numbers:12:13 @ So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "Please heal her, O God, I pray!"

nkjv@Numbers:12:14 @ Then the LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, would she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut out of the camp seven days, and afterward she may be received again."

nkjv@Numbers:13:1 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nkjv@Numbers:13:2 @ "Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a leader among them."

nkjv@Numbers:13:3 @ So Moses sent them from the Wilderness of Paran according to the command of the LORD, all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.

nkjv@Numbers:13:16 @ These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua.

nkjv@Numbers:13:17 @ Then Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up this way into the South, and go up to the mountains,

nkjv@Numbers:13:22 @ And they went up through the South and came to Hebron; Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

nkjv@Numbers:13:23 @ Then they came to the Valley of Eshcol, and there cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes; they carried it between two of them on a pole. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.

nkjv@Numbers:13:26 @ Now they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

nkjv@Numbers:13:27 @ Then they told him, and said: "We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.

nkjv@Numbers:13:30 @ Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it."

nkjv@Numbers:13:31 @ But the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we."

nkjv@Numbers:14:2 @ And all the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, "If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we had died in this wilderness!

nkjv@Numbers:14:3 @ Why has the LORD brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?"

nkjv@Numbers:14:4 @ So they said to one another, "Let us select a leader and return to Egypt."

nkjv@Numbers:14:7 @ and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: "The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land.

nkjv@Numbers:14:8 @ If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, "a land which flows with milk and honey.'

nkjv@Numbers:14:10 @ And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Now the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of meeting before all the children of Israel.

nkjv@Numbers:14:11 @ Then the LORD said to Moses: "How long will these people reject Me? And how long will they not believe Me, with all the signs which I have performed among them?

nkjv@Numbers:14:13 @ And Moses said to the LORD: "Then the Egyptians will hear it, for by Your might You brought these people up from among them,

nkjv@Numbers:14:19 @ Pardon the iniquity of this people, I pray, according to the greatness of Your mercy, just as You have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now."

nkjv@Numbers:14:20 @ Then the LORD said: "I have pardoned, according to your word;

nkjv@Numbers:14:36 @ Now the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned and made all the congregation complain against him by bringing a bad report of the land,

nkjv@Numbers:14:38 @ But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive, of the men who went to spy out the land.

nkjv@Numbers:14:39 @ Then Moses told these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned greatly.

nkjv@Numbers:14:40 @ And they rose early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, "Here we are, and we will go up to the place which the LORD has promised, for we have sinned!"

nkjv@Numbers:14:44 @ But they presumed to go up to the mountaintop. Nevertheless, neither the ark of the covenant of the LORD nor Moses departed from the camp.

nkjv@Numbers:20:17 @ Please let us pass through your country. We will not pass through fields or vineyards, nor will we drink water from wells; we will go along the King's Highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left until we have passed through your territory."'

nkjv@Numbers:20:18 @ Then Edom said to him, "You shall not pass through my land, lest I come out against you with the sword."

nkjv@Numbers:20:19 @ So the children of Israel said to him, "We will go by the Highway, and if I or my livestock drink any of your water, then I will pay for it; let me only pass through on foot, nothing more."

nkjv@Numbers:20:21 @ Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his territory; so Israel turned away from him.

nkjv@Numbers:20:22 @ Now the children of Israel, the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh and came to Mount Hor.

nkjv@Numbers:20:23 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor by the border of the land of Edom, saying:

nkjv@Numbers:20:24 @ "Aaron shall be gathered to his people, for he shall not enter the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against My word at the water of Meribah.

nkjv@Numbers:20:25 @ Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;

nkjv@Numbers:20:26 @ and strip Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son; for Aaron shall be gathered to his people and die there."

nkjv@Numbers:20:27 @ So Moses did just as the LORD commanded, and they went up to Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

nkjv@Numbers:21:1 @ The king of Arad, the Canaanite, who dwelt in the South, heard that Israel was coming on the road to Atharim. Then he fought against Israel and took some of them prisoners.

nkjv@Numbers:21:2 @ So Israel made a vow to the LORD, and said, "If You will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities."

nkjv@Numbers:21:3 @ And the LORD listened to the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanites, and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. So the name of that place was called Hormah.

nkjv@Numbers:21:4 @ Then they journeyed from Mount Hor by the Way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became very discouraged on the way.

nkjv@Numbers:21:5 @ And the people spoke against God and against Moses: "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread."

nkjv@Numbers:21:7 @ Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, "We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD and against you; pray to the LORD that He take away the serpents from us." So Moses prayed for the people.

nkjv@Numbers:21:8 @ Then the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live."

nkjv@Numbers:21:15 @ And the slope of the brooks That reaches to the dwelling of Ar, And lies on the border of Moab."

nkjv@Numbers:21:16 @ From there they went to Beer, which is the well where the LORD said to Moses, "Gather the people together, and I will give them water."

nkjv@Numbers:21:17 @ Then Israel sang this song: "Spring up, O well! All of you sing to it--

nkjv@Numbers:21:18 @ The well the leaders sank, Dug by the nation's nobles, By the lawgiver, with their staves." And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah,

nkjv@Numbers:21:19 @ from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,

nkjv@Numbers:21:20 @ and from Bamoth, in the valley that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah which looks down on the wasteland.

nkjv@Numbers:21:21 @ Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,

nkjv@Numbers:21:23 @ But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.

nkjv@Numbers:21:24 @ Then Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the people of Ammon; for the border of the people of Ammon was fortified.

nkjv@Numbers:21:27 @ Therefore those who speak in proverbs say: "Come to Heshbon, let it be built; Let the city of Sihon be repaired.

nkjv@Numbers:21:29 @...his daughters into captivity, To Sihon...

nkjv@Numbers:21:30 @ "But we have shot at them; Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon. Then we laid waste as far as Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba."

nkjv@Numbers:21:32 @ Then Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.

nkjv@Numbers:21:33 @ And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan. So Og king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

nkjv@Numbers:21:34 @ Then the LORD said to Moses, "Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon."

nkjv@Numbers:22:2 @ Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.

nkjv@Numbers:22:4 @ So Moab said to the elders of Midian, "Now this company will lick up everything around us, as an ox licks up the grass of the field." And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.

nkjv@Numbers:22:5 @ Then he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor at Pethor, which is near the River in the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying: "Look, a people has come from Egypt. See, they cover the face of the earth, and are settling next to me!

nkjv@Numbers:22:6 @ Therefore please come at once, curse this people for me, for they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land, for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed."

nkjv@Numbers:22:7 @ So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the diviner's fee in their hand, and they came to Balaam and spoke to him the words of Balak.

nkjv@Numbers:22:8 @ And he said to them, "Lodge here tonight, and I will bring back word to you, as the LORD speaks to me." So the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.

nkjv@Numbers:22:9 @ Then God came to Balaam and said, "Who are these men with you?"

nkjv@Numbers:22:10 @ So Balaam said to God, "Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, saying,

nkjv@Numbers:22:11 @ "Look, a people has come out of Egypt, and they cover the face of the earth. Come now, curse them for me; perhaps I shall be able to overpower them and drive them out."'

nkjv@Numbers:22:12 @ And God said to Balaam, "You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people, for they are blessed."

nkjv@Numbers:22:13 @ So Balaam rose in the morning and said to the princes of Balak, "Go back to your land, for the LORD has refused to give me permission to go with you."

nkjv@Numbers:22:14 @ And the princes of Moab rose and went to Balak, and said, "Balaam refuses to come with us."

nkjv@Numbers:22:16 @ And they came to Balaam and said to him, "Thus says Balak the son of Zippor: "Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me;

nkjv@Numbers:22:17 @ for I will certainly honor you greatly, and I will do whatever you say to me. Therefore please come, curse this people for me."'

nkjv@Numbers:22:18 @ Then Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, "Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.

nkjv@Numbers:22:19 @ Now therefore, please, you also stay here tonight, that I may know what more the LORD will say to me."

nkjv@Numbers:22:20 @ And God came to Balaam at night and said to him, "If the men come to call you, rise and go with them; but only the word which I speak to you--that you shall do."

nkjv@Numbers:22:23 @ Now the donkey saw the Angel of the LORD standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand, and the donkey turned aside out of the way and went into the field. So Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back onto the road.

nkjv@Numbers:22:26 @ Then the Angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.

nkjv@Numbers:22:28 @ Then the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?"

nkjv@Numbers:22:29 @ And Balaam said to the donkey, "Because you have abused me. I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would kill you!"

nkjv@Numbers:22:30 @ So the donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden, ever since I became yours, to this day? Was I ever disposed to do this to you?" And he said, "No."

nkjv@Numbers:22:32 @ And the Angel of the LORD said to him, "Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out to stand against you, because your way is perverse before Me.

nkjv@Numbers:22:34 @ And Balaam said to the Angel of the LORD, "I have sinned, for I did not know You stood in the way against me. Now therefore, if it displeases You, I will turn back."

nkjv@Numbers:22:35 @ Then the Angel of the LORD said to Balaam, "Go with the men, but only the word that I speak to you, that you shall speak." So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

nkjv@Numbers:22:36 @ Now when Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at the city of Moab, which is on the border at the Arnon, the boundary of the territory.

nkjv@Numbers:22:37 @ Then Balak said to Balaam, "Did I not earnestly send to you, calling for you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able to honor you?"

nkjv@Numbers:22:38 @ And Balaam said to Balak, "Look, I have come to you! Now, have I any power at all to say anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that I must speak."

nkjv@Numbers:22:39 @ So Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kirjath Huzoth.

nkjv@Numbers:22:40 @ Then Balak offered oxen and sheep, and he sent some to Balaam and to the princes who were with him.

nkjv@Numbers:22:41 @ So it was, the next day, that Balak took Balaam and brought him up to the high places of Baal, that from there he might observe the extent of the people.

nkjv@Numbers:23:1 @ Then Balaam said to Balak, "Build seven altars for me here, and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams."

nkjv@Numbers:23:3 @ Then Balaam said to Balak, "Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go; perhaps the LORD will come to meet me, and whatever He shows me I will tell you." So he went to a desolate height.

nkjv@Numbers:23:4 @ And God met Balaam, and he said to Him, "I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered on each altar a bull and a ram."

nkjv@Numbers:23:5 @ Then the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, "Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak."

nkjv@Numbers:23:6 @ So he returned to him, and there he was, standing by his burnt offering, he and all the princes of Moab.

nkjv@Numbers:23:11 @ Then Balak said to Balaam, "What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and look, you have blessed them bountifully!"

nkjv@Numbers:23:12 @ So he answered and said, "Must I not take heed to speak what the LORD has put in my mouth?"

nkjv@Numbers:23:13 @ Then Balak said to him, "Please come with me to another place from which you may see them; you shall see only the outer part of them, and shall not see them all; curse them for me from there."

nkjv@Numbers:23:14 @ So he brought him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

nkjv@Numbers:23:15 @ And he said to Balak, "Stand here by your burnt offering while I meet the LORD over there."

nkjv@Numbers:23:16 @ Then the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, "Go back to Balak, and thus you shall speak."

nkjv@Numbers:23:17 @ So he came to him, and there he was, standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab were with him. And Balak said to him, "What has the LORD spoken?"

nkjv@Numbers:23:18 @ Then he took up his oracle and said: "Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, son of Zippor!

nkjv@Numbers:23:20 @ Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.

nkjv@Numbers:23:25 @ Then Balak said to Balaam, "Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all!"

nkjv@Numbers:23:26 @ So Balaam answered and said to Balak, "Did I not tell you, saying, "All that the LORD speaks, that I must do'?"

nkjv@Numbers:23:27 @ Then Balak said to Balaam, "Please come, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there."

nkjv@Numbers:23:28 @ So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that overlooks the wasteland.

nkjv@Numbers:23:29 @ Then Balaam said to Balak, "Build for me here seven altars, and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams."

nkjv@Numbers:24:1 @ Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not go as at other times, to seek to use sorcery, but he set his face toward the wilderness.

nkjv@Numbers:24:2 @ And Balaam raised his eyes, and saw Israel encamped according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.

nkjv@Numbers:24:10 @ Then Balak's anger was aroused against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, "I called you to curse my enemies, and look, you have bountifully blessed them these three times!

nkjv@Numbers:24:11 @ Now therefore, flee to your place. I said I would greatly honor you, but in fact, the LORD has kept you back from honor."

nkjv@Numbers:24:12 @ So Balaam said to Balak, "Did I not also speak to your messengers whom you sent to me, saying,

nkjv@Numbers:24:13 @ "If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of the LORD, to do good or bad of my own will. What the LORD says, that I must speak'?

nkjv@Numbers:24:14 @ And now, indeed, I am going to my people. Come, I will advise you what this people will do to your people in the latter days."

nkjv@Numbers:24:25 @ So Balaam rose and departed and returned to his place; Balak also went his way.

nkjv@Numbers:25:1 @ Now Israel remained in Acacia Grove, and the people began to commit harlotry with the women of Moab.

nkjv@Numbers:25:2 @ They invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.

nkjv@Numbers:25:3 @ So Israel was joined to Baal of Peor, and the anger of the LORD was aroused against Israel.

nkjv@Numbers:25:4 @ Then the LORD said to Moses, "Take all the leaders of the people and hang the offenders before the LORD, out in the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel."

nkjv@Numbers:25:5 @ So Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Every one of you kill his men who were joined to Baal of Peor."

nkjv@Numbers:25:6 @ And indeed, one of the children of Israel came and presented to his brethren a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

nkjv@Numbers:25:10 @ Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

nkjv@Numbers:25:12 @ Therefore say, "Behold, I give to him My covenant of peace;

nkjv@Numbers:25:13 @ and it shall be to him and his descendants after him a covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel."'

nkjv@Numbers:25:16 @ Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

nkjv@Numbers:26:1 @ And it came to pass, after the plague, that the LORD spoke to Moses and Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying:

nkjv@Numbers:26:62 @ Now those who were numbered of them were twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and above; for they were not numbered among the other children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given to them among the children of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:3:13 @ And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, the waters that come down from upstream, and they shall stand as a heap."

nkjv@Joshua:3:14 @ So it was, when the people set out from their camp to cross over the Jordan, with the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people,

nkjv@Joshua:3:15 @ and as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks during the whole time of harvest),

nkjv@Joshua:4:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the people had completely crossed over the Jordan, that the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying:

nkjv@Joshua:4:5 @ and Joshua said to them: "Cross over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of the Jordan, and each one of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel,

nkjv@Joshua:4:6 @ that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, "What do these stones mean to you?'

nkjv@Joshua:4:7 @ Then you shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever."

nkjv@Joshua:4:8 @ And the children of Israel did so, just as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the midst of the Jordan, as the LORD had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

nkjv@Joshua:4:9 @ Then Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood; and they are there to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:4:10 @ So the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan until everything was finished that the LORD had commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua; and the people hurried and crossed over.

nkjv@Joshua:4:11 @ Then it came to pass, when all the people had completely crossed over, that the ark of the LORD and the priests crossed over in the presence of the people.

nkjv@Joshua:4:12 @ And the men of Reuben, the men of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them.

nkjv@Joshua:4:13 @ About forty thousand prepared for war crossed over before the LORD for battle, to the plains of Jericho.

nkjv@Joshua:4:15 @ Then the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,

nkjv@Joshua:4:16 @ "Command the priests who bear the ark of the Testimony to come up from the Jordan."

nkjv@Joshua:4:18 @ And it came to pass, when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD had come from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet touched the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks as before.

nkjv@Joshua:4:21 @ Then he spoke to the children of Israel, saying: "When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, "What are these stones?'

nkjv@Joshua:4:23 @ for the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed over,

nkjv@Joshua:5:2 @ At that time the LORD said to Joshua, "Make flint knives for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time."

nkjv@Joshua:5:6 @ For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people who were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the LORD--to whom the LORD swore that He would not show them the land which the LORD had sworn to their fathers that He would give us, "a land flowing with milk and honey."

nkjv@Joshua:5:9 @ Then the LORD said to Joshua, "This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:5:13 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, "Are You for us or for our adversaries?"

nkjv@Joshua:5:14 @ So He said, "No, but as Commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, "What does my Lord say to His servant?"

nkjv@Joshua:5:15 @ Then the Commander of the LORD's army said to Joshua, "Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy." And Joshua did so.

nkjv@Joshua:6:2 @ And the LORD said to Joshua: "See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.

nkjv@Joshua:6:5 @ It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him."

nkjv@Joshua:6:6 @ Then Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD."

nkjv@Joshua:6:7 @ And he said to the people, "Proceed, and march around the city, and let him who is armed advance before the ark of the LORD."

nkjv@Joshua:6:8 @ So it was, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the LORD advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

nkjv@Joshua:6:10 @ Now Joshua had commanded the people, saying, "You shall not shout or make any noise with your voice, nor shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, "Shout!' Then you shall shout."

nkjv@Joshua:6:14 @ And the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. So they did six days.

nkjv@Joshua:6:15 @ But it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day only they marched around the city seven times.

nkjv@Joshua:6:16 @ And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: "Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!

nkjv@Joshua:6:17 @ Now the city shall be doomed by the LORD to destruction, it and all who are in it. Only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

nkjv@Joshua:6:19 @ But all the silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are consecrated to the LORD; they shall come into the treasury of the LORD."

nkjv@Joshua:6:22 @ But Joshua had said to the two men who had spied out the country, "Go into the harlot's house, and from there bring out the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her."

nkjv@Joshua:6:25 @ And Joshua spared Rahab the harlot, her father's household, and all that she had. So she dwells in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

nkjv@Joshua:7:2 @ Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, "Go up and spy out the country." So the men went up and spied out Ai.

nkjv@Joshua:7:3 @ And they returned to Joshua and said to him, "Do not let all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai. Do not weary all the people there, for the people of Ai are few."

nkjv@Joshua:7:6 @ Then Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the LORD until evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads.

nkjv@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said, "Alas, Lord GOD, why have You brought this people over the Jordan at all--to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Oh, that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan!

nkjv@Joshua:7:10 @ So the LORD said to Joshua: "Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face?

nkjv@Joshua:7:12 @ Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they have become doomed to destruction. Neither will I be with you anymore, unless you destroy the accursed from among you.

nkjv@Joshua:7:14 @ In the morning therefore you shall be brought according to your tribes. And it shall be that the tribe which the LORD takes shall come according to families; and the family which the LORD takes shall come by households; and the household which the LORD takes shall come man by man.

nkjv@Joshua:7:19 @ Now Joshua said to Achan, "My son, I beg you, give glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession to Him, and tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me."

nkjv@Joshua:7:22 @ So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and there it was, hidden in his tent, with the silver under it.

nkjv@Joshua:7:23 @ And they took them from the midst of the tent, brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.

nkjv@Joshua:7:24 @ Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them to the Valley of Achor.

nkjv@Joshua:7:26 @ Then they raised over him a great heap of stones, still there to this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called the Valley of Achor to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:8:1 @ Now the LORD said to Joshua: "Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.

nkjv@Joshua:8:2 @ And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king. Only its spoil and its cattle you shall take as booty for yourselves. Lay an ambush for the city behind it."

nkjv@Joshua:8:3 @ So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai; and Joshua chose thirty thousand mighty men of valor and sent them away by night.

nkjv@Joshua:8:8 @ And it will be, when you have taken the city, that you shall set the city on fire. According to the commandment of the LORD you shall do. See, I have commanded you."

nkjv@Joshua:8:9 @ Joshua therefore sent them out; and they went to lie in ambush, and stayed between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua lodged that night among the people.

nkjv@Joshua:8:10 @ Then Joshua rose up early in the morning and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.

nkjv@Joshua:8:14 @ Now it happened, when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hurried and rose early and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at an appointed place before the plain. But he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

nkjv@Joshua:8:16 @ So all the people who were in Ai were called together to pursue them. And they pursued Joshua and were drawn away from the city.

nkjv@Joshua:8:18 @ Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Stretch out the spear that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand." And Joshua stretched out the spear that was in his hand toward the city.

nkjv@Joshua:8:19 @ So those in ambush arose quickly out of their place; they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and they entered the city and took it, and hurried to set the city on fire.

nkjv@Joshua:8:20 @ And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and behold, the smoke of the city ascended to heaven. So they had no power to flee this way or that way, and the people who had fled to the wilderness turned back on the pursuers.

nkjv@Joshua:8:23 @ But the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.

nkjv@Joshua:8:24 @ And it came to pass when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness where they pursued them, and when they all had fallen by the edge of the sword until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned to Ai and struck it with the edge of the sword.

nkjv@Joshua:8:27 @ Only the livestock and the spoil of that city Israel took as booty for themselves, according to the word of the LORD which He had commanded Joshua.

nkjv@Joshua:8:28 @ So Joshua burned Ai and made it a heap forever, a desolation to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:8:29 @ And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until evening. And as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his corpse down from the tree, cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raise over it a great heap of stones that remains to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:8:30 @ Now Joshua built an altar to the LORD God of Israel in Mount Ebal,

nkjv@Joshua:8:31 @ as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the Book of the Law of Moses: "an altar of whole stones over which no man has wielded an iron tool." And they offered on it burnt offerings to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.

nkjv@Joshua:8:34 @ And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and the cursings, according to all that is written in the Book of the Law.

nkjv@Joshua:9:1 @ And it came to pass when all the kings who were on this side of the Jordan, in the hills and in the lowland and in all the coasts of the Great Sea toward Lebanon--the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite--heard about it,

nkjv@Joshua:9:2 @ that they gathered together to fight with Joshua and Israel with one accord.

nkjv@Joshua:9:3 @ But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,

nkjv@Joshua:9:4 @ they worked craftily, and went and pretended to be ambassadors. And they took old sacks on their donkeys, old wineskins torn and mended,

nkjv@Joshua:9:6 @ And they went to Joshua, to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, "We have come from a far country; now therefore, make a covenant with us."

nkjv@Joshua:9:7 @ Then the men of Israel said to the Hivites, "Perhaps you dwell among us; so how can we make a covenant with you?"

nkjv@Joshua:9:8 @ But they said to Joshua, "We are your servants." And Joshua said to them, "Who are you, and where do you come from?"

nkjv@Joshua:9:9 @ So they said to him: "From a very far country your servants have come, because of the name of the LORD your God; for we have heard of His fame, and all that He did in Egypt,

nkjv@Joshua:9:10 @ and all that He did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan--to Sihon king of Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.

nkjv@Joshua:9:11 @ Therefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, "Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, "We are your servants; now therefore, make a covenant with us."'

nkjv@Joshua:9:12 @ This bread of ours we took hot for our provision from our houses on the day we departed to come to you. But now look, it is dry and moldy.

nkjv@Joshua:9:15 @ So Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them to let them live; and the rulers of the congregation swore to them.

nkjv@Joshua:9:17 @ Then the children of Israel journeyed and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kirjath Jearim.

nkjv@Joshua:9:18 @ But the children of Israel did not attack them, because the rulers of the congregation had sworn to them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation complained against the rulers.

nkjv@Joshua:9:19 @ Then all the rulers said to all the congregation, "We have sworn to them by the LORD God of Israel; now therefore, we may not touch them.

nkjv@Joshua:9:20 @ This we will do to them: We will let them live, lest wrath be upon us because of the oath which we swore to them."

nkjv@Joshua:9:21 @ And the rulers said to them, "Let them live, but let them be woodcutters and water carriers for all the congregation, as the rulers had promised them."

nkjv@Joshua:9:22 @ Then Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, "Why have you deceived us, saying, "We are very far from you,' when you dwell near us?

nkjv@Joshua:9:24 @ So they answered Joshua and said, "Because your servants were clearly told that the LORD your God commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; therefore we were very much afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

nkjv@Joshua:9:25 @ And now, here we are, in your hands; do with us as it seems good and right to do to us."

nkjv@Joshua:9:26 @ So he did to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, so that they did not kill them.

nkjv@Joshua:9:27 @ And that day Joshua made them woodcutters and water carriers for the congregation and for the altar of the LORD, in the place which He would choose, even to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:10:1 @ Now it came to pass when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai and had utterly destroyed it--as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king--and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among them,

nkjv@Joshua:10:3 @ Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,

nkjv@Joshua:10:4 @ "Come up to me and help me, that we may attack Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel."

nkjv@Joshua:10:6 @ And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, "Do not forsake your servants; come up to us quickly, save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the mountains have gathered together against us."

nkjv@Joshua:10:8 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand; not a man of them shall stand before you."

nkjv@Joshua:10:10 @ So the LORD routed them before Israel, killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, chased them along the road that goes to Beth Horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.

nkjv@Joshua:10:12 @ Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: "Sun, stand still over Gibeon; And Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon."

nkjv@Joshua:10:13 @ So the sun stood still, And the moon stopped, Till the people had revenge Upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.

nkjv@Joshua:10:15 @ Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.

nkjv@Joshua:10:18 @ So Joshua said, "Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to guard them.

nkjv@Joshua:10:19 @ And do not stay there yourselves, but pursue your enemies, and attack their rear guard. Do not allow them to enter their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand."

nkjv@Joshua:10:21 @ And all the people returned to the camp, to Joshua at Makkedah, in peace. No one moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:10:22 @ Then Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings to me from the cave."

nkjv@Joshua:10:23 @ And they did so, and brought out those five kings to him from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

nkjv@Joshua:10:24 @ So it was, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, "Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings." And they drew near and put their feet on their necks.

nkjv@Joshua:10:25 @ Then Joshua said to them, "Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage, for thus the LORD will do to all your enemies against whom you fight."

nkjv@Joshua:10:28 @ On that day Joshua took Makkedah, and struck it and its king with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed them --all the people who were in it. He let none remain. He also did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

nkjv@Joshua:10:29 @ Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah; and they fought against Libnah.

nkjv@Joshua:10:30 @ And the LORD also delivered it and its king into the hand of Israel; he struck it and all the people who were in it with the edge of the sword. He let none remain in it, but did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

nkjv@Joshua:10:31 @ Then Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish; and they encamped against it and fought against it.

nkjv@Joshua:10:32 @ And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, who took it on the second day, and struck it and all the people who were in it with the edge of the sword, according to all that he had done to Libnah.

nkjv@Joshua:10:33 @ Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he left him none remaining.

nkjv@Joshua:10:34 @ From Lachish Joshua passed to Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it and fought against it.

nkjv@Joshua:10:35 @ They took it on that day and struck it with the edge of the sword; all the people who were in it he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.

nkjv@Joshua:10:36 @ So Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it.

nkjv@Joshua:10:37 @ And they took it and struck it with the edge of the sword--its king, all its cities, and all the people who were in it; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon, but utterly destroyed it and all the people who were in it.

nkjv@Joshua:10:38 @ Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and they fought against it.

nkjv@Joshua:10:39 @ And he took it and its king and all its cities; they struck them with the edge of the sword and utterly destroyed all the people who were in it. He left none remaining; as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king, as he had done also to Libnah and its king.

nkjv@Joshua:10:43 @ Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.

nkjv@Joshua:11:1 @ And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard these things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, to the king of Achshaph,

nkjv@Joshua:11:2 @ and to the kings who were from the north, in the mountains, in the plain south of Chinneroth, in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,

nkjv@Joshua:11:6 @ But the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow about this time I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire."

nkjv@Joshua:11:8 @ And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who defeated them and chased them to Greater Sidon, to the Brook Misrephoth, and to the Valley of Mizpah eastward; they attacked them until they left none of them remaining.

nkjv@Joshua:11:9 @ So Joshua did to them as the LORD had told him: he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.

nkjv@Joshua:11:17 @ from Mount Halak and the ascent to Seir, even as far as Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings, and struck them down and killed them.

nkjv@Joshua:11:20 @ For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that He might utterly destroy them, and that they might receive no mercy, but that He might destroy them, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

nkjv@Joshua:11:23 @ So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land rested from war.

nkjv@Joshua:12:1 @ These are the kings of the land whom the children of Israel defeated, and whose land they possessed on the other side of the Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the River Arnon to Mount Hermon, and all the eastern Jordan plain:

nkjv@Joshua:13:14 @ Only to the tribe of Levi he had given no inheritance; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as He said to them.

nkjv@Joshua:13:15 @ And Moses had given to the tribe of the children of Reuben an inheritance according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:13:23 @ And the border of the children of Reuben was the bank of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:14:10 @ And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old.

nkjv@Joshua:14:12 @ Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the LORD said."

nkjv@Joshua:14:13 @ And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as an inheritance.

nkjv@Joshua:14:14 @ Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:15:1 @ So this was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families: The border of Edom at the Wilderness of Zin southward was the extreme southern boundary.

nkjv@Joshua:15:3 @ Then it went out to the southern side of the Ascent of Akrabbim, passed along to Zin, ascended on the south side of Kadesh Barnea, passed along to Hezron, went up to Adar, and went around to Karkaa.

nkjv@Joshua:15:4 @ From there it passed toward Azmon and went out to the Brook of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea. This shall be your southern border.

nkjv@Joshua:15:6 @ The border went up to Beth Hoglah and passed north of Beth Arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

nkjv@Joshua:15:8 @ And the border went up by the Valley of the Son of Hinnom to the southern slope of the Jebusite city (which is Jerusalem). The border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the Valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the Valley of Rephaim northward.

nkjv@Joshua:15:9 @ Then the border went around from the top of the hill to the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and extended to the cities of Mount Ephron. And the border went around to Baalah (which is Kirjath Jearim).

nkjv@Joshua:15:10 @ Then the border turned westward from Baalah to Mount Seir, passed along to the side of Mount Jearim on the north (which is Chesalon), went down to Beth Shemesh, and passed on to Timnah.

nkjv@Joshua:15:11 @ And the border went out to the side of Ekron northward. Then the border went around to Shicron, passed along to Mount Baalah, and extended to Jabneel; and the border ended at the sea.

nkjv@Joshua:15:12 @ The west border was the coastline of the Great Sea. This is the boundary of the children of Judah all around according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:15:13 @ Now to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a share among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, namely, Kirjath Arba, which is Hebron (Arba was the father of Anak).

nkjv@Joshua:15:15 @ Then he went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir (formerly the name of Debir was Kirjath Sepher).

nkjv@Joshua:15:16 @ And Caleb said, "He who attacks Kirjath Sepher and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife."

nkjv@Joshua:15:18 @ Now it was so, when she came to him, that she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you wish?"

nkjv@Joshua:15:20 @ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families:

nkjv@Joshua:15:46 @ from Ekron to the sea, all that lay near Ashdod, with their villages;

nkjv@Joshua:15:63 @ As for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:16:1 @ The lot fell to the children of Joseph from the Jordan, by Jericho, to the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goes up from Jericho through the mountains to Bethel,

nkjv@Joshua:16:2 @ then went out from Bethel to Luz, passed along to the border of the Archites at Ataroth,

nkjv@Joshua:16:3 @ and went down westward to the boundary of the Japhletites, as far as the boundary of Lower Beth Horon to Gezer; and it ended at the sea.

nkjv@Joshua:16:5 @ The border of the children of Ephraim, according to their families, was thus: The border of their inheritance on the east side was Ataroth Addar as far as Upper Beth Horon.

nkjv@Joshua:16:6 @ And the border went out toward the sea on the north side of Michmethath; then the border went around eastward to Taanath Shiloh, and passed by it on the east of Janohah.

nkjv@Joshua:16:7 @ Then it went down from Janohah to Ataroth and Naarah, reached to Jericho, and came out at the Jordan.

nkjv@Joshua:16:8 @ The border went out from Tappuah westward to the Brook Kanah, and it ended at the sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:16:10 @ And they did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day and have become forced laborers.

nkjv@Joshua:17:2 @ And there was a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, the children of Helek, the children of Asriel, the children of Shechem, the children of Hepher, and the children of Shemida; these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:17:4 @ And they came near before Eleazar the priest, before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the rulers, saying, "The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers." Therefore, according to the commandment of the LORD, he gave them an inheritance among their father's brothers.

nkjv@Joshua:17:5 @ Ten shares fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side of the Jordan,

nkjv@Joshua:17:7 @ And the territory of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, that lies east of Shechem; and the border went along south to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.

nkjv@Joshua:17:8 @ Manasseh had the land of Tappuah, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.

nkjv@Joshua:17:9 @ And the border descended to the Brook Kanah, southward to the brook. These cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook; and it ended at the sea.

nkjv@Joshua:17:12 @ Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities, but the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.

nkjv@Joshua:17:13 @ And it happened, when the children of Israel grew strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not utterly drive them out.

nkjv@Joshua:17:14 @ Then the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, "Why have you given us only one lot and one share to inherit, since we are a great people, inasmuch as the LORD has blessed us until now?"

nkjv@Joshua:17:15 @ So Joshua answered them, "If you are a great people, then go up to the forest country and clear a place for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and the giants, since the mountains of Ephraim are too confined for you."

nkjv@Joshua:17:17 @ And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph--to Ephraim and Manasseh--saying, "You are a great people and have great power; you shall not have only one lot,

nkjv@Joshua:18:3 @ Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: "How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers has given you?

nkjv@Joshua:18:4 @ Pick out from among you three men for each tribe, and I will send them; they shall rise and go through the land, survey it according to their inheritance, and come back to me.

nkjv@Joshua:18:6 @ You shall therefore survey the land in seven parts and bring the survey here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.

nkjv@Joshua:18:8 @ Then the men arose to go away; and Joshua charged those who went to survey the land, saying, "Go, walk through the land, survey it, and come back to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh."

nkjv@Joshua:18:9 @ So the men went, passed through the land, and wrote the survey in a book in seven parts by cities; and they came to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh.

nkjv@Joshua:18:10 @ Then Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD, and there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.

nkjv@Joshua:18:11 @ Now the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the territory of their lot came out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

nkjv@Joshua:18:12 @ Their border on the north side began at the Jordan, and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the mountains westward; it ended at the Wilderness of Beth Aven.

nkjv@Joshua:18:13 @ The border went over from there toward Luz, to the side of Luz (which is Bethel) southward; and the border descended to Ataroth Addar, near the hill that lies on the south side of Lower Beth Horon.

nkjv@Joshua:18:14 @ Then the border extended around the west side to the south, from the hill that lies before Beth Horon southward; and it ended at Kirjath Baal (which is Kirjath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west side.

nkjv@Joshua:18:15 @ The south side began at the end of Kirjath Jearim, and the border extended on the west and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.

nkjv@Joshua:18:16 @ Then the border came down to the end of the mountain that lies before the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which is in the Valley of the Rephaim on the north, descended to the Valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite city on the south, and descended to En Rogel.

nkjv@Joshua:18:17 @ And it went around from the north, went out to En Shemesh, and extended toward Geliloth, which is before the Ascent of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

nkjv@Joshua:18:18 @ Then it passed along toward the north side of Arabah, and went down to Arabah.

nkjv@Joshua:18:19 @ And the border passed along to the north side of Beth Hoglah; then the border ended at the north bay at the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the southern boundary.

nkjv@Joshua:18:20 @ The Jordan was its border on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, according to its boundaries all around, according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:18:21 @ Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, according to their families, were Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,

nkjv@Joshua:18:28 @ Zelah, Eleph, Jebus (which is Jerusalem), Gibeath, and Kirjath: fourteen cities with their villages. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:19:1 @ The second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families. And their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah.

nkjv@Joshua:19:8 @ and all the villages that were all around these cities as far as Baalath Beer, Ramah of the South. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:19:10 @ The third lot came out for the children of Zebulun according to their families, and the border of their inheritance was as far as Sarid.

nkjv@Joshua:19:11 @ Their border went toward the west and to Maralah, went to Dabbasheth, and extended along the brook that is east of Jokneam.

nkjv@Joshua:19:13 @ And from there it passed along on the east of Gath Hepher, toward Eth Kazin, and extended to Rimmon, which borders on Neah.

nkjv@Joshua:19:16 @ This was the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:19:17 @ The fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:19:18 @ And their territory went to Jezreel, and included Chesulloth, Shunem,

nkjv@Joshua:19:22 @ And the border reached to Tabor, Shahazimah, and Beth Shemesh; their border ended at the Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:19:23 @ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:19:24 @ The fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:19:26 @ Alammelech, Amad, and Mishal; it reached to Mount Carmel westward, along the Brook Shihor Libnath.

nkjv@Joshua:19:27 @ It turned toward the sunrise to Beth Dagon; and it reached to Zebulun and to the Valley of Jiphthah El, then northward beyond Beth Emek and Neiel, bypassing Cabul which was on the left,

nkjv@Joshua:19:29 @ And the border turned to Ramah and to the fortified city of Tyre; then the border turned to Hosah, and ended at the sea by the region of Achzib.

nkjv@Joshua:19:31 @ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:19:32 @ The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, for the children of Naphtali according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:19:34 @ From Heleph the border extended westward to Aznoth Tabor, and went out from there toward Hukkok; it adjoined Zebulun on the south side and Asher on the west side, and ended at Judah by the Jordan toward the sunrise.

nkjv@Joshua:19:39 @ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities and their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:19:40 @ The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:19:47 @ And the border of the children of Dan went beyond these, because the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem and took it; and they struck it with the edge of the sword, took possession of it, and dwelt in it. They called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.

nkjv@Joshua:19:48 @ This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:19:49 @ When they had made an end of dividing the land as an inheritance according to their borders, the children of Israel gave an inheritance among them to Joshua the son of Nun.

nkjv@Joshua:19:50 @ According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked for, Timnath Serah in the mountains of Ephraim; and he built the city and dwelt in it.

nkjv@Joshua:20:1 @ The LORD also spoke to Joshua, saying,

nkjv@Joshua:20:2 @ "Speak to the children of Israel, saying: "Appoint for yourselves cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through Moses,

nkjv@Joshua:20:4 @ And when he flees to one of those cities, and stands at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declares his case in the hearing of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city as one of them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.

nkjv@Joshua:20:6 @ And he shall dwell in that city until he stands before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the one who is high priest in those days. Then the slayer may return and come to his own city and his own house, to the city from which he fled."'

nkjv@Joshua:21:1 @ Then the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites came near to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:21:2 @ And they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, "The LORD commanded through Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with their common-lands for our livestock."

nkjv@Joshua:21:3 @ So the children of Israel gave to the Levites from their inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their common-lands:

nkjv@Joshua:21:7 @ The children of Merari according to their families had twelve cities from the tribe of Reuben, from the tribe of Gad, and from the tribe of Zebulun.

nkjv@Joshua:21:8 @ And the children of Israel gave these cities with their common-lands by lot to the Levites, as the LORD had commanded by the hand of Moses.

nkjv@Joshua:21:12 @ But the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession.

nkjv@Joshua:21:13 @ Thus to the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its common-land (a city of refuge for the slayer), Libnah with its common-land,

nkjv@Joshua:21:27 @ Also to the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, from the other half-tribe of Manasseh, they gave Golan in Bashan with its common-land (a city of refuge for the slayer), and Be Eshterah with its common-land: two cities;

nkjv@Joshua:21:33 @ All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their common-lands.

nkjv@Joshua:21:34 @ And to the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, from the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with its common-land, Kartah with its common-land,

nkjv@Joshua:21:40 @ So all the cities for the children of Merari according to their families, the rest of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve cities.

nkjv@Joshua:21:43 @ So the LORD gave to Israel all the land of which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it and dwelt in it.

nkjv@Joshua:21:44 @ The LORD gave them rest all around, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers. And not a man of all their enemies stood against them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.

nkjv@Joshua:21:45 @ Not a word failed of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.

nkjv@Joshua:22:2 @ and said to them: "You have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.

nkjv@Joshua:22:3 @ You have not left your brethren these many days, up to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.

nkjv@Joshua:22:4 @ And now the LORD your God has given rest to your brethren, as He promised them; now therefore, return and go to your tents and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

nkjv@Joshua:22:5 @ But take careful heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul."

nkjv@Joshua:22:6 @ So Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went to their tents.

nkjv@Joshua:22:7 @ Now to half the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given a possession in Bashan, but to the other half of it Joshua gave a possession among their brethren on this side of the Jordan, westward. And indeed, when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,

nkjv@Joshua:22:8 @ and spoke to them, saying, "Return with much riches to your tents, with very much livestock, with silver, with gold, with bronze, with iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren."

nkjv@Joshua:22:9 @ So the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they had obtained according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

nkjv@Joshua:22:10 @ And when they came to the region of the Jordan which is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh built an altar there by the Jordan--a great, impressive altar.

nkjv@Joshua:22:12 @ And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered together at Shiloh to go to war against them.

nkjv@Joshua:22:13 @ Then the children of Israel sent Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead,

nkjv@Joshua:22:15 @ Then they came to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,

nkjv@Joshua:22:16 @ "Thus says the whole congregation of the LORD: "What treachery is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that you have built for yourselves an altar, that you might rebel this day against the LORD?

nkjv@Joshua:22:19 @ Nevertheless, if the land of your possession is unclean, then cross over to the land of the possession of the LORD, where the LORD's tabernacle stands, and take possession among us; but do not rebel against the LORD, nor rebel against us, by building yourselves an altar besides the altar of the LORD our God.

nkjv@Joshua:22:21 @ Then the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh answered and said to the heads of the divisions of Israel:

nkjv@Joshua:22:23 @ If we have built ourselves an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer on it burnt offerings or grain offerings, or if to offer peace offerings on it, let the LORD Himself require an account.

nkjv@Joshua:22:24 @ But in fact we have done it for fear, for a reason, saying, "In time to come your descendants may speak to our descendants, saying, "What have you to do with the LORD God of Israel?

nkjv@Joshua:22:26 @ Therefore we said, "Let us now prepare to build ourselves an altar, not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice,

nkjv@Joshua:22:27 @ but that it may be a witness between you and us and our generations after us, that we may perform the service of the LORD before Him with our burnt offerings, with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your descendants may not say to our descendants in time to come, "You have no part in the LORD."'

nkjv@Joshua:22:28 @ Therefore we said that it will be, when they say this to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say, "Here is the replica of the altar of the LORD which our fathers made, though not for burnt offerings nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between you and us.'

nkjv@Joshua:22:29 @ Far be it from us that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn from following the LORD this day, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for grain offerings, or for sacrifices, besides the altar of the LORD our God which is before His tabernacle."

nkjv@Joshua:22:31 @ Then Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh, "This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because you have not committed this treachery against the LORD. Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD."

nkjv@Joshua:22:32 @ And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the rulers, returned from the children of Reuben and the children of Gad, from the land of Gilead to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought back word to them.

nkjv@Joshua:22:33 @ So the thing pleased the children of Israel, and the children of Israel blessed God; they spoke no more of going against them in battle, to destroy the land where the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.

nkjv@Joshua:23:1 @ Now it came to pass, a long time after the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua was old, advanced in age.

nkjv@Joshua:23:2 @ And Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders, for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers, and said to them: "I am old, advanced in age.

nkjv@Joshua:23:3 @ You have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations because of you, for the LORD your God is He who has fought for you.

nkjv@Joshua:23:4 @ See, I have divided to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the Great Sea westward.

nkjv@Joshua:23:9 @ For the LORD has driven out from before you great and strong nations; but as for you, no one has been able to stand against you to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:23:11 @ Therefore take careful heed to yourselves, that you love the LORD your God.

nkjv@Joshua:23:12 @ Or else, if indeed you do go back, and cling to the remnant of these nations--these that remain among you--and make marriages with them, and go in to them and they to you,

nkjv@Joshua:23:13 @ know for certain that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. But they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the LORD your God has given you.

nkjv@Joshua:24:1 @ Then Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem and called for the elders of Israel, for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.

nkjv@Joshua:24:2 @ And Joshua said to all the people, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel: "Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of the River in old times; and they served other gods.

nkjv@Joshua:24:5 @ Also I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to what I did among them. Afterward I brought you out.

nkjv@Joshua:24:6 @ "Then I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea; and the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea.

nkjv@Joshua:24:7 @ So they cried out to the LORD; and He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, brought the sea upon them, and covered them. And your eyes saw what I did in Egypt. Then you dwelt in the wilderness a long time.

nkjv@Joshua:24:9 @ Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose to make war against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you.

nkjv@Joshua:24:10 @ But I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he continued to bless you. So I delivered you out of his hand.

nkjv@Joshua:24:11 @ Then you went over the Jordan and came to Jericho. And the men of Jericho fought against you--also the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. But I delivered them into your hand.

nkjv@Joshua:24:15 @ And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

nkjv@Joshua:24:16 @ So the people answered and said: "Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD to serve other gods;

nkjv@Joshua:24:19 @ But Joshua said to the people, "You cannot serve the LORD, for He is a holy God. He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.

nkjv@Joshua:24:21 @ And the people said to Joshua, "No, but we will serve the LORD!"

nkjv@Joshua:24:22 @ So Joshua said to the people, "You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the LORD for yourselves, to serve Him." And they said, "We are witnesses!"

nkjv@Joshua:24:23 @ "Now therefore," he said, "put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the LORD God of Israel."

nkjv@Joshua:24:24 @ And the people said to Joshua, "The LORD our God we will serve, and His voice we will obey!"

nkjv@Joshua:24:27 @ And Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, this stone shall be a witness to us, for it has heard all the words of the LORD which He spoke to us. It shall therefore be a witness to you, lest you deny your God."

nkjv@Joshua:24:28 @ So Joshua let the people depart, each to his own inheritance.

nkjv@Joshua:24:29 @ Now it came to pass after these things that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred and ten years old.

nkjv@Joshua:24:33 @ And Eleazar the son of Aaron died. They buried him in a hill belonging to Phinehas his son, which was given to him in the mountains of Ephraim.

nkjv@Judges:1:1 @ Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, "Who shall be first to go up for us against the Canaanites to fight against them?"

nkjv@Judges:1:3 @ So Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me to my allotted territory, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I will likewise go with you to your allotted territory." And Simeon went with him.

nkjv@Judges:1:7 @ And Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to gather scraps under my table; as I have done, so God has repaid me." Then they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

nkjv@Judges:1:9 @ And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who dwelt in the mountains, in the South, and in the lowland.

nkjv@Judges:1:12 @ Then Caleb said, "Whoever attacks Kirjath Sepher and takes it, to him I will give my daughter Achsah as wife."

nkjv@Judges:1:14 @ Now it happened, when she came to him, that she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you wish?"

nkjv@Judges:1:15 @ So she said to him, "Give me a blessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water." And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

nkjv@Judges:1:20 @ And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said. Then he expelled from there the three sons of Anak.

nkjv@Judges:1:21 @ But the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; so the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

nkjv@Judges:1:23 @ So the house of Joseph sent men to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city was formerly Luz.)

nkjv@Judges:1:24 @ And when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, "Please show us the entrance to the city, and we will show you mercy."

nkjv@Judges:1:25 @ So he showed them the entrance to the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go.

nkjv@Judges:1:26 @ And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.

nkjv@Judges:1:27 @ However, Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; for the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.

nkjv@Judges:1:28 @ And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites under tribute, but did not completely drive them out.

nkjv@Judges:1:33 @ Nor did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh or the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but they dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath were put under tribute to them.

nkjv@Judges:1:34 @ And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountains, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;

nkjv@Judges:1:35 @ and the Amorites were determined to dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; yet when the strength of the house of Joseph became greater, they were put under tribute.

nkjv@Judges:2:1 @ Then the Angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said: "I led you up from Egypt and brought you to the land of which I swore to your fathers; and I said, "I will never break My covenant with you.

nkjv@Judges:2:3 @ Therefore I also said, "I will not drive them out before you; but they shall be thorns in your side, and their gods shall be a snare to you."'

nkjv@Judges:2:4 @ So it was, when the Angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voices and wept.

nkjv@Judges:2:5 @ Then they called the name of that place Bochim; and they sacrificed there to the LORD.

nkjv@Judges:2:6 @ And when Joshua had dismissed the people, the children of Israel went each to his own inheritance to possess the land.

nkjv@Judges:2:10 @ When all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who did not know the LORD nor the work which He had done for Israel.

nkjv@Judges:2:12 @ and they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; and they followed other gods from among the gods of the people who were all around them, and they bowed down to them; and they provoked the LORD to anger.

nkjv@Judges:2:15 @ Wherever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for calamity, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn to them. And they were greatly distressed.

nkjv@Judges:2:17 @ Yet they would not listen to their judges, but they played the harlot with other gods, and bowed down to them. They turned quickly from the way in which their fathers walked, in obeying the commandments of the LORD; they did not do so.

nkjv@Judges:2:18 @ And when the LORD raised up judges for them, the LORD was with the judge and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the LORD was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who oppressed them and harassed them.

nkjv@Judges:2:19 @ And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they reverted and behaved more corruptly than their fathers, by following other gods, to serve them and bow down to them. They did not cease from their own doings nor from their stubborn way.

nkjv@Judges:3:4 @ And they were left, that He might test Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commandments of the LORD, which He had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

nkjv@Judges:3:6 @ And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons; and they served their gods.

nkjv@Judges:3:9 @ When the children of Israel cried out to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer for the children of Israel, who delivered them: Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

nkjv@Judges:3:10 @ The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-Rishathaim.

nkjv@Judges:3:13 @ Then he gathered to himself the people of Ammon and Amalek, went and defeated Israel, and took possession of the City of Palms.

nkjv@Judges:3:15 @ But when the children of Israel cried out to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. By him the children of Israel sent tribute to Eglon king of Moab.

nkjv@Judges:3:17 @ So he brought the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. (Now Eglon was a very fat man.)

nkjv@Judges:3:20 @ So Ehud came to him (now he was sitting upstairs in his cool private chamber). Then Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." So he arose from his seat.

nkjv@Judges:3:24 @ When he had gone out, Eglon's servants came to look, and to their surprise, the doors of the upper room were locked. So they said, "He is probably attending to his needs in the cool chamber."

nkjv@Judges:3:26 @ But Ehud had escaped while they delayed, and passed beyond the stone images and escaped to Seirah.

nkjv@Judges:3:28 @ Then he said to them, "Follow me, for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand." So they went down after him, seized the fords of the Jordan leading to Moab, and did not allow anyone to cross over.

nkjv@Judges:4:3 @ And the children of Israel cried out to the LORD; for Jabin had nine hundred chariots of iron, and for twenty years he had harshly oppressed the children of Israel.

nkjv@Judges:4:5 @ And she would sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the mountains of Ephraim. And the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.

nkjv@Judges:4:6 @ Then she sent and called for Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, "Has not the LORD God of Israel commanded, "Go and deploy troops at Mount Tabor; take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun;

nkjv@Judges:4:9 @ So she said, "I will surely go with you; nevertheless there will be no glory for you in the journey you are taking, for the LORD will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman." Then Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.

nkjv@Judges:4:10 @ And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; he went up with ten thousand men under his command, and Deborah went up with him.

nkjv@Judges:4:12 @ And they reported to Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.

nkjv@Judges:4:13 @ So Sisera gathered together all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth Hagoyim to the River Kishon.

nkjv@Judges:4:14 @ Then Deborah said to Barak, "Up! For this is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not the LORD gone out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.

nkjv@Judges:4:17 @ However, Sisera had fled away on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.

nkjv@Judges:4:18 @ And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, "Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me; do not fear." And when he had turned aside with her into the tent, she covered him with a blanket.

nkjv@Judges:4:19 @ Then he said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty." So she opened a jug of milk, gave him a drink, and covered him.

nkjv@Judges:4:20 @ And he said to her, "Stand at the door of the tent, and if any man comes and inquires of you, and says, "Is there any man here?' you shall say, "No."'

nkjv@Judges:4:21 @ Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent peg and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went down into the ground; for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.

nkjv@Judges:4:22 @ And then, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, "Come, I will show you the man whom you seek." And when he went into her tent, there lay Sisera, dead with the peg in his temple.

nkjv@Judges:6:6 @ So Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites, and the children of Israel cried out to the LORD.

nkjv@Judges:6:7 @ And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried out to the LORD because of the Midianites,

nkjv@Judges:6:8 @ that the LORD sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel: "I brought you up from Egypt and brought you out of the house of bondage;

nkjv@Judges:6:10 @ Also I said to you, "I am the LORD your God; do not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell." But you have not obeyed My voice."'

nkjv@Judges:6:11 @ Now the Angel of the LORD came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from the Midianites.

nkjv@Judges:6:12 @ And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, "The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!"

nkjv@Judges:6:13 @ Gideon said to Him, "O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, "Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?' But now the LORD has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites."

nkjv@Judges:6:14 @ Then the LORD turned to him and said, "Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?"

nkjv@Judges:6:15 @ So he said to Him, "O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house."

nkjv@Judges:6:16 @ And the LORD said to him, "Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man."

nkjv@Judges:6:17 @ Then he said to Him, "If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who talk with me.

nkjv@Judges:6:18 @ Do not depart from here, I pray, until I come to You and bring out my offering and set it before You." And He said, "I will wait until you come back."

nkjv@Judges:6:19 @ So Gideon went in and prepared a young goat, and unleavened bread from an ephah of flour. The meat he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot; and he brought them out to Him under the terebinth tree and presented them.

nkjv@Judges:6:20 @ The Angel of God said to him, "Take the meat and the unleavened bread and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth." And he did so.

nkjv@Judges:6:22 @ Now Gideon perceived that He was the Angel of the LORD. So Gideon said, "Alas, O Lord GOD! For I have seen the Angel of the LORD face to face."

nkjv@Judges:6:23 @ Then the LORD said to him, "Peace be with you; do not fear, you shall not die."

nkjv@Judges:6:24 @ So Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it The-LORD-Is-Peace. To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

nkjv@Judges:6:25 @ Now it came to pass the same night that the LORD said to him, "Take your father's young bull, the second bull of seven years old, and tear down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the wooden image that is beside it;

nkjv@Judges:6:26 @ and build an altar to the LORD your God on top of this rock in the proper arrangement, and take the second bull and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the image which you shall cut down."

nkjv@Judges:6:27 @ So Gideon took ten men from among his servants and did as the LORD had said to him. But because he feared his father's household and the men of the city too much to do it by day, he did it by night.

nkjv@Judges:6:29 @ So they said to one another, "Who has done this thing?" And when they had inquired and asked, they said, "Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing."

nkjv@Judges:6:30 @ Then the men of the city said to Joash, "Bring out your son, that he may die, because he has torn down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the wooden image that was beside it."

nkjv@Judges:6:31 @ But Joash said to all who stood against him, "Would you plead for Baal? Would you save him? Let the one who would plead for him be put to death by morning! If he is a god, let him plead for himself, because his altar has been torn down!"

nkjv@Judges:6:35 @ And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, who also gathered behind him. He also sent messengers to Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.

nkjv@Judges:6:36 @ So Gideon said to God, "If You will save Israel by my hand as You have said--

nkjv@Judges:6:39 @ Then Gideon said to God, "Do not be angry with me, but let me speak just once more: Let me test, I pray, just once more with the fleece; let it now be dry only on the fleece, but on all the ground let there be dew."

nkjv@Judges:7:2 @ And the LORD said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel claim glory for itself against Me, saying, "My own hand has saved me.'

nkjv@Judges:7:4 @ But the LORD said to Gideon, "The people are still too many; bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. Then it will be, that of whom I say to you, "This one shall go with you,' the same shall go with you; and of whomever I say to you, "This one shall not go with you,' the same shall not go."

nkjv@Judges:7:5 @ So he brought the people down to the water. And the LORD said to Gideon, "Everyone who laps from the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set apart by himself; likewise everyone who gets down on his knees to drink."

nkjv@Judges:7:6 @ And the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people got down on their knees to drink water.

nkjv@Judges:7:7 @ Then the LORD said to Gideon, "By the three hundred men who lapped I will save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, every man to his place."

nkjv@Judges:7:8 @ So the people took provisions and their trumpets in their hands. And he sent away all the rest of Israel, every man to his tent, and retained those three hundred men. Now the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.

nkjv@Judges:7:22 @ When the three hundred blew the trumpets, the LORD set every man's sword against his companion throughout the whole camp; and the army fled to Beth Acacia, toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.

nkjv@Judges:7:25 @ And they captured two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb. They killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb. They pursued Midian and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of the Jordan.

nkjv@Judges:8:1 @ Now the men of Ephraim said to him, "Why have you done this to us by not calling us when you went to fight with the Midianites?" And they reprimanded him sharply.

nkjv@Judges:8:2 @ So he said to them, "What have I done now in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

nkjv@Judges:8:4 @ When Gideon came to the Jordan, he and the three hundred men who were with him crossed over, exhausted but still in pursuit.

nkjv@Judges:8:5 @ Then he said to the men of Succoth, "Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me, for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian."

nkjv@Judges:11:8 @ And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "That is why we have turned again to you now, that you may go with us and fight against the people of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

nkjv@Judges:11:19 @ Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, "Please let us pass through your land into our place."

nkjv@Judges:11:20 @ But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together, encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

nkjv@Judges:11:33 @ And he defeated them from Aroer as far as Minnith--twenty cities--and to Abel Keramim, with a very great slaughter. Thus the people of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.

nkjv@Judges:11:34 @ When Jephthah came to his house at Mizpah, there was his daughter, coming out to meet him with timbrels and dancing; and she was his only child. Besides her he had neither son nor daughter.

nkjv@Judges:11:35 @ And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he tore his clothes, and said, "Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low! You are among those who trouble me! For I have given my word to the LORD, and I cannot go back on it."

nkjv@Judges:11:36 @ So she said to him, "My father, if you have given your word to the LORD, do to me according to what has gone out of your mouth, because the LORD has avenged you of your enemies, the people of Ammon."

nkjv@Judges:12:3 @ So when I saw that you would not deliver me, I took my life in my hands and crossed over against the people of Ammon; and the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day to fight against me?"

nkjv@Judges:12:5 @ The Gileadites seized the fords of the Jordan before the Ephraimites arrived. And when any Ephraimite who escaped said, "Let me cross over," the men of Gilead would say to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If he said, "No,"

nkjv@Judges:12:6 @ then they would say to him, "Then say, "Shibboleth'!" And he would say, "Sibboleth," for he could not pronounce it right. Then they would take him and kill him at the fords of the Jordan. There fell at that time forty-two thousand Ephraimites.

nkjv@Judges:14:5 @ So Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah. Now to his surprise, a young lion came roaring against him.

nkjv@Judges:14:8 @ After some time, when he returned to get her, he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion. And behold, a swarm of bees and honey were in the carcass of the lion.

nkjv@Judges:14:9 @ He took some of it in his hands and went along, eating. When he came to his father and mother, he gave some to them, and they also ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.

nkjv@Judges:14:10 @ So his father went down to the woman. And Samson gave a feast there, for young men used to do so.

nkjv@Judges:14:11 @ And it happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.

nkjv@Judges:14:12 @ Then Samson said to them, "Let me pose a riddle to you. If you can correctly solve and explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.

nkjv@Judges:14:13 @ But if you cannot explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing." And they said to him, "Pose your riddle, that we may hear it."

nkjv@Judges:14:14 @ So he said to them: "Out of the eater came something to eat, And out of the strong came something sweet." Now for three days they could not explain the riddle.

nkjv@Judges:14:15 @ But it came to pass on the seventh day that they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband, that he may explain the riddle to us, or else we will burn you and your father's house with fire. Have you invited us in order to take what is ours? Is that not so?"

nkjv@Judges:14:16 @ Then Samson's wife wept on him, and said, "You only hate me! You do not love me! You have posed a riddle to the sons of my people, but you have not explained it to me." And he said to her, "Look, I have not explained it to my father or my mother; so should I explain it to you?"

nkjv@Judges:14:17 @ Now she had wept on him the seven days while their feast lasted. And it happened on the seventh day that he told her, because she pressed him so much. Then she explained the riddle to the sons of her people.

nkjv@Judges:14:18 @ So the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down: "What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion?" And he said to them: "If you had not plowed with my heifer, You would not have solved my riddle!"

nkjv@Judges:14:19 @ Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily, and he went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty of their men, took their apparel, and gave the changes of clothing to those who had explained the riddle. So his anger was aroused, and he went back up to his father's house.

nkjv@Judges:14:20 @ And Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his best man.

nkjv@Judges:15:1 @ After a while, in the time of wheat harvest, it happened that Samson visited his wife with a young goat. And he said, "Let me go in to my wife, into her room." But her father would not permit him to go in.

nkjv@Judges:15:2 @ Her father said, "I really thought that you thoroughly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Is not her younger sister better than she? Please, take her instead."

nkjv@Judges:15:3 @ And Samson said to them, "This time I shall be blameless regarding the Philistines if I harm them!"

nkjv@Judges:15:4 @ Then Samson went and caught three hundred foxes; and he took torches, turned the foxes tail to tail, and put a torch between each pair of tails.

nkjv@Judges:15:6 @ Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" And they answered, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion." So the Philistines came up and burned her and her father with fire.

nkjv@Judges:15:7 @ Samson said to them, "Since you would do a thing like this, I will surely take revenge on you, and after that I will cease."

nkjv@Judges:15:10 @ And the men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" So they answered, "We have come up to arrest Samson, to do to him as he has done to us."

nkjv@Judges:15:11 @ Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines rule over us? What is this you have done to us?" And he said to them, "As they did to me, so I have done to them."

nkjv@Judges:15:12 @ But they said to him, "We have come down to arrest you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines." Then Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves."

nkjv@Judges:15:13 @ So they spoke to him, saying, "No, but we will tie you securely and deliver you into their hand; but we will surely not kill you." And they bound him with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock.

nkjv@Judges:15:14 @ When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting against him. Then the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him; and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds broke loose from his hands.

nkjv@Judges:15:18 @ Then he became very thirsty; so he cried out to the LORD and said, "You have given this great deliverance by the hand of Your servant; and now shall I die of thirst and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?"

nkjv@Judges:15:19 @ So God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out, and he drank; and his spirit returned, and he revived. Therefore he called its name En Hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.

nkjv@Judges:16:1 @ Now Samson went to Gaza and saw a harlot there, and went in to her.

nkjv@Judges:16:3 @ And Samson lay low till midnight; then he arose at midnight, took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two gateposts, pulled them up, bar and all, put them on his shoulders, and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron.

nkjv@Judges:16:5 @ And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, "Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver."

nkjv@Judges:16:6 @ So Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength lies, and with what you may be bound to afflict you."

nkjv@Judges:16:7 @ And Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh bowstrings, not yet dried, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."

nkjv@Judges:16:8 @ So the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh bowstrings, not yet dried, and she bound him with them.

nkjv@Judges:16:9 @ Now men were lying in wait, staying with her in the room. And she said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he broke the bowstrings as a strand of yarn breaks when it touches fire. So the secret of his strength was not known.

nkjv@Judges:16:10 @ Then Delilah said to Samson, "Look, you have mocked me and told me lies. Now, please tell me what you may be bound with."

nkjv@Judges:16:11 @ So he said to her, "If they bind me securely with new ropes that have never been used, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."

nkjv@Judges:16:12 @ Therefore Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And men were lying in wait, staying in the room. But he broke them off his arms like a thread.

nkjv@Judges:16:13 @ Delilah said to Samson, "Until now you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me what you may be bound with." And he said to her, "If you weave the seven locks of my head into the web of the loom"--

nkjv@Judges:16:14 @ So she wove it tightly with the batten of the loom, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he awoke from his sleep, and pulled out the batten and the web from the loom.

nkjv@Judges:16:15 @ Then she said to him, "How can you say, "I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies."

nkjv@Judges:16:18 @ When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, "Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart." So the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand.

nkjv@Judges:16:19 @ Then she lulled him to sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him, and his strength left him.

nkjv@Judges:16:21 @ Then the Philistines took him and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza. They bound him with bronze fetters, and he became a grinder in the prison.

nkjv@Judges:16:22 @ However, the hair of his head began to grow again after it had been shaven.

nkjv@Judges:16:23 @ Now the lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice. And they said: "Our god has delivered into our hands Samson our enemy!"

nkjv@Judges:17:3 @ So when he had returned the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, "I had wholly dedicated the silver from my hand to the LORD for my son, to make a carved image and a molded image; now therefore, I will return it to you."

nkjv@Judges:18:1 @ In those days there was no king in Israel. And in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking an inheritance for itself to dwell in; for until that day their inheritance among the tribes of Israel had not fallen to them.

nkjv@Judges:18:2 @ So the children of Dan sent five men of their family from their territory, men of valor from Zorah and Eshtaol, to spy out the land and search it. They said to them, "Go, search the land." So they went to the mountains of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.

nkjv@Judges:18:3 @ While they were at the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young Levite. They turned aside and said to him, "Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? What do you have here?"

nkjv@Judges:18:5 @ So they said to him, "Please inquire of God, that we may know whether the journey on which we go will be prosperous."

nkjv@Judges:18:6 @ And the priest said to them, "Go in peace. The presence of the LORD be with you on your way."

nkjv@Judges:18:7 @ So the five men departed and went to Laish. They saw the people who were there, how they dwelt safely, in the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure.

nkjv@Judges:18:15 @ So they turned aside there, and came to the house of the young Levite man--to the house of Micah--and greeted him.

nkjv@Judges:18:17 @ Then the five men who had gone to spy out the land went up. Entering there, they took the carved image, the ephod, the household idols, and the molded image. The priest stood at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men who were armed with weapons of war.

nkjv@Judges:18:19 @ And they said to him, "Be quiet, put your hand over your mouth, and come with us; be a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be a priest to the household of one man, or that you be a priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?"

nkjv@Judges:18:23 @ And they called out to the children of Dan. So they turned around and said to Micah, "What ails you, that you have gathered such a company?"

nkjv@Judges:18:24 @ So he said, "You have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and you have gone away. Now what more do I have? How can you say to me, "What ails you?"'

nkjv@Judges:18:27 @ So they took the things Micah had made, and the priest who had belonged to him, and went to Laish, to a people quiet and secure; and they struck them with the edge of the sword and burned the city with fire.

nkjv@Judges:18:28 @ There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no ties with anyone. It was in the valley that belongs to Beth Rehob. So they rebuilt the city and dwelt there.

nkjv@Judges:18:29 @ And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel. However, the name of the city formerly was Laish.

nkjv@Judges:18:30 @ Then the children of Dan set up for themselves the carved image; and Jonathan the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.

nkjv@Judges:19:1 @ And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite staying in the remote mountains of Ephraim. He took for himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.

nkjv@Judges:19:5 @ Then it came to pass on the fourth day that they arose early in the morning, and he stood to depart; but the young woman's father said to his son-in-law, "Refresh your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way."

nkjv@Judges:19:6 @ So they sat down, and the two of them ate and drank together. Then the young woman's father said to the man, "Please be content to stay all night, and let your heart be merry."

nkjv@Judges:19:7 @ And when the man stood to depart, his father-in-law urged him; so he lodged there again.

nkjv@Judges:19:11 @ They were near Jebus, and the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, "Come, please, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites and lodge in it."

nkjv@Judges:19:25 @ But the men would not heed him. So the man took his concubine and brought her out to them. And they knew her and abused her all night until morning; and when the day began to break, they let her go.

nkjv@Judges:19:27 @ When her master arose in the morning, and opened the doors of the house and went out to go his way, there was his concubine, fallen at the door of the house with her hands on the threshold.

nkjv@Judges:19:28 @ And he said to her, "Get up and let us be going." But there was no answer. So the man lifted her onto the donkey; and the man got up and went to his place.

nkjv@Judges:20:1 @ So all the children of Israel came out, from Dan to Beersheba, as well as from the land of Gilead, and the congregation gathered together as one man before the LORD at Mizpah.

nkjv@Judges:20:3 @ (Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) Then the children of Israel said, "Tell us, how did this wicked deed happen?"

nkjv@Judges:20:13 @ Now therefore, deliver up the men, the perverted men who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and remove the evil from Israel!" But the children of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brethren, the children of Israel.

nkjv@Judges:20:14 @ Instead, the children of Benjamin gathered together from their cities to Gibeah, to go to battle against the children of Israel.

nkjv@Judges:20:18 @ Then the children of Israel arose and went up to the house of God to inquire of God. They said, "Which of us shall go up first to battle against the children of Benjamin?" The LORD said, "Judah first!"

nkjv@Judges:20:20 @ And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin, and the men of Israel put themselves in battle array to fight against them at Gibeah.

nkjv@Judges:20:25 @ And Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah on the second day, and cut down to the ground eighteen thousand more of the children of Israel; all these drew the sword.

nkjv@Judges:20:26 @ Then all the children of Israel, that is, all the people, went up and came to the house of God and wept. They sat there before the LORD and fasted that day until evening; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

nkjv@Judges:20:31 @ So the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city.

nkjv@Judges:20:32 @ And the children of Benjamin said, "They are defeated before us, as at first." But the children of Israel said, "Let us flee and draw them away from the city to the highways."

nkjv@Judges:20:36 @ So the children of Benjamin saw that they were defeated. The men of Israel had given ground to the Benjamites, because they relied on the men in ambush whom they had set against Gibeah.

nkjv@Judges:20:39 @ whereupon the men of Israel would turn in battle. Now Benjamin had begun to strike and kill about thirty of the men of Israel. For they said, "Surely they are defeated before us, as in the first battle."

nkjv@Judges:20:40 @ But when the cloud began to rise from the city in a column of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and there was the whole city going up in smoke to heaven.

nkjv@Judges:20:45 @ Then they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon; and they cut down five thousand of them on the highways. Then they pursued them relentlessly up to Gidom, and killed two thousand of them.

nkjv@Judges:20:48 @ And the men of Israel turned back against the children of Benjamin, and struck them down with the edge of the sword--from every city, men and beasts, all who were found. They also set fire to all the cities they came to.

nkjv@Judges:21:1 @ Now the men of Israel had sworn an oath at Mizpah, saying, "None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife."

nkjv@Judges:21:2 @ Then the people came to the house of God, and remained there before God till evening. They lifted up their voices and wept bitterly,

nkjv@Judges:21:3 @ and said, "O LORD God of Israel, why has this come to pass in Israel, that today there should be one tribe missing in Israel?"

nkjv@Judges:21:5 @ The children of Israel said, "Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who did not come up with the assembly to the LORD?" For they had made a great oath concerning anyone who had not come up to the LORD at Mizpah, saying, "He shall surely be put to death."

nkjv@Judges:21:13 @ Then the whole congregation sent word to the children of Benjamin who were at the rock of Rimmon, and announced peace to them.

nkjv@Judges:21:18 @ However, we cannot give them wives from our daughters, for the children of Israel have sworn an oath, saying, "Cursed be the one who gives a wife to Benjamin."'

nkjv@Judges:21:22 @ Then it shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to us to complain, that we will say to them, "Be kind to them for our sakes, because we did not take a wife for any of them in the war; for it is not as though you have given the women to them at this time, making yourselves guilty of your oath."'

nkjv@Judges:21:23 @ And the children of Benjamin did so; they took enough wives for their number from those who danced, whom they caught. Then they went and returned to their inheritance, and they rebuilt the cities and dwelt in them.

nkjv@Judges:21:24 @ So the children of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and family; they went out from there, every man to his inheritance.

nkjv@Ruth:1:1 @ Now it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons.

nkjv@Ruth:1:2 @ The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion--Ephrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to the country of Moab and remained there.

nkjv@Ruth:1:12 @ Turn back, my daughters, go--for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say I have hope, if I should have a husband tonight and should also bear sons,

nkjv@Ruth:1:14 @ Then they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

nkjv@Ruth:1:15 @ And she said, "Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law."

nkjv@Ruth:1:16 @ But Ruth said: "Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God.

nkjv@Ruth:1:17 @ Where you die, I will die, And there will I be buried. The LORD do so to me, and more also, If anything but death parts you and me."

nkjv@Ruth:1:18 @ When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she stopped speaking to her.

nkjv@Ruth:1:19 @ Now the two of them went until they came to Bethlehem. And it happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was excited because of them; and the women said, "Is this Naomi?"

nkjv@Ruth:1:20 @ But she said to them, "Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.

nkjv@Ruth:1:22 @ So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab. Now they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.

nkjv@Ruth:2:2 @ So Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, "Please let me go to the field, and glean heads of grain after him in whose sight I may find favor." And she said to her, "Go, my daughter."

nkjv@Ruth:2:3 @ Then she left, and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

nkjv@Ruth:2:4 @ Now behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, "The LORD be with you!" And they answered him, "The LORD bless you!"

nkjv@Ruth:2:5 @ Then Boaz said to his servant who was in charge of the reapers, "Whose young woman is this?"

nkjv@Ruth:2:8 @ Then Boaz said to Ruth, "You will listen, my daughter, will you not? Do not go to glean in another field, nor go from here, but stay close by my young women.

nkjv@Ruth:2:9 @ Let your eyes be on the field which they reap, and go after them. Have I not commanded the young men not to touch you? And when you are thirsty, go to the vessels and drink from what the young men have drawn."

nkjv@Ruth:2:10 @ So she fell on her face, bowed down to the ground, and said to him, "Why have I found favor in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?"

nkjv@Ruth:2:11 @ And Boaz answered and said to her, "It has been fully reported to me, all that you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and have come to a people whom you did not know before.

nkjv@Ruth:2:13 @ Then she said, "Let me find favor in your sight, my lord; for you have comforted me, and have spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not like one of your maidservants."

nkjv@Ruth:2:14 @ Now Boaz said to her at mealtime, "Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar." So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed parched grain to her; and she ate and was satisfied, and kept some back.

nkjv@Ruth:2:15 @ And when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.

nkjv@Ruth:2:18 @ Then she took it up and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. So she brought out and gave to her what she had kept back after she had been satisfied.

nkjv@Ruth:2:19 @ And her mother-in-law said to her, "Where have you gleaned today? And where did you work? Blessed be the one who took notice of you." So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, "The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz."

nkjv@Ruth:2:20 @ Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be he of the LORD, who has not forsaken His kindness to the living and the dead!" And Naomi said to her, "This man is a relation of ours, one of our close relatives."

nkjv@Ruth:2:21 @ Ruth the Moabitess said, "He also said to me, "You shall stay close by my young men until they have finished all my harvest."'

nkjv@Ruth:2:22 @ And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, "It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, and that people do not meet you in any other field."

nkjv@Ruth:2:23 @ So she stayed close by the young women of Boaz, to glean until the end of barley harvest and wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.

nkjv@Ruth:3:1 @ Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, shall I not seek security for you, that it may be well with you?

nkjv@Ruth:3:3 @ Therefore wash yourself and anoint yourself, put on your best garment and go down to the threshing floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.

nkjv@Ruth:3:5 @ And she said to her, "All that you say to me I will do."

nkjv@Ruth:3:6 @ So she went down to the threshing floor and did according to all that her mother-in-law instructed her.

nkjv@Ruth:3:7 @ And after Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was cheerful, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.

nkjv@Ruth:3:13 @ Stay this night, and in the morning it shall be that if he will perform the duty of a close relative for you--good; let him do it. But if he does not want to perform the duty for you, then I will perform the duty for you, as the LORD lives! Lie down until morning."

nkjv@Ruth:3:14 @ So she lay at his feet until morning, and she arose before one could recognize another. Then he said, "Do not let it be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."

nkjv@Ruth:3:16 @ When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, "Is that you, my daughter?" Then she told her all that the man had done for her.

nkjv@Ruth:3:17 @ And she said, "These six ephahs of barley he gave me; for he said to me, "Do not go empty-handed to your mother-in-law."'

nkjv@Ruth:4:1 @ Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there; and behold, the close relative of whom Boaz had spoken came by. So Boaz said, "Come aside, friend, sit down here." So he came aside and sat down.

nkjv@Ruth:4:3 @ Then he said to the close relative, "Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, sold the piece of land which belonged to our brother Elimelech.

nkjv@Ruth:4:4 @ And I thought to inform you, saying, "Buy it back in the presence of the inhabitants and the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am next after you."' And he said, "I will redeem it."

nkjv@Ruth:4:5 @ Then Boaz said, "On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also buy it from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to perpetuate the name of the dead through his inheritance."

nkjv@Ruth:4:7 @ Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging, to confirm anything: one man took off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was a confirmation in Israel.

nkjv@Ruth:4:8 @ Therefore the close relative said to Boaz, "Buy it for yourself." So he took off his sandal.

nkjv@Ruth:4:9 @ And Boaz said to the elders and all the people, "You are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, from the hand of Naomi.

nkjv@Ruth:4:10 @ Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, I have acquired as my wife, to perpetuate the name of the dead through his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brethren and from his position at the gate. You are witnesses this day."

nkjv@Ruth:4:11 @ And all the people who were at the gate, and the elders, said, "We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman who is coming to your house like Rachel and Leah, the two who built the house of Israel; and may you prosper in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem.

nkjv@Ruth:4:12 @ May your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring which the LORD will give you from this young woman."

nkjv@Ruth:4:13 @ So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and when he went in to her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.

nkjv@Ruth:4:14 @ Then the women said to Naomi, "Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a close relative; and may his name be famous in Israel!

nkjv@Ruth:4:15 @ And may he be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him."

nkjv@Ruth:4:16 @ Then Naomi took the child and laid him on her bosom, and became a nurse to him.

nkjv@Ruth:4:17 @ Also the neighbor women gave him a name, saying, "There is a son born to Naomi." And they called his name Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:3 @ This man went up from his city yearly to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. Also the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:4 @ And whenever the time came for Elkanah to make an offering, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:5 @ But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, although the LORD had closed her womb.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:6 @ And her rival also provoked her severely, to make her miserable, because the LORD had closed her womb.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:7 @ So it was, year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, that she provoked her; therefore she wept and did not eat.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:8 @ Then Elkanah her husband said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep? Why do you not eat? And why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?"

nkjv@1Samuel:1:10 @ And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD and wept in anguish.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:11 @ Then she made a vow and said, "O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head."

nkjv@1Samuel:1:14 @ So Eli said to her, "How long will you be drunk? Put your wine away from you!"

nkjv@1Samuel:1:19 @ Then they rose early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD, and returned and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:20 @ So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, "Because I have asked for him from the LORD."

nkjv@1Samuel:1:21 @ Now the man Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and his vow.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:22 @ But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, "Not until the child is weaned; then I will take him, that he may appear before the LORD and remain there forever."

nkjv@1Samuel:1:23 @ So Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems best to you; wait until you have weaned him. Only let the LORD establish His word." Then the woman stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:24 @ Now when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD in Shiloh. And the child was young.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:25 @ Then they slaughtered a bull, and brought the child to Eli.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:26 @ And she said, "O my lord! As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:28 @ Therefore I also have lent him to the LORD; as long as he lives he shall be lent to the LORD." So they worshiped the LORD there.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:5 @ Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, And the hungry have ceased to hunger. Even the barren has borne seven, And she who has many children has become feeble.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:6 @ "The LORD kills and makes alive; He brings down to the grave and brings up.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:11 @ Then Elkanah went to his house at Ramah. But the child ministered to the LORD before Eli the priest.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:14 @ Then he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; and the priest would take for himself all that the fleshhook brought up. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:15 @ Also, before they burned the fat, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who sacrificed, "Give meat for roasting to the priest, for he will not take boiled meat from you, but raw."

nkjv@1Samuel:2:16 @ And if the man said to him, "They should really burn the fat first; then you may take as much as your heart desires," he would then answer him, "No, but you must give it now; and if not, I will take it by force."

nkjv@1Samuel:2:19 @ Moreover his mother used to make him a little robe, and bring it to him year by year when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:20 @ And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and say, "The LORD give you descendants from this woman for the loan that was given to the LORD." Then they would go to their own home.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:22 @ Now Eli was very old; and he heard everything his sons did to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who assembled at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:23 @ So he said to them, "Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all the people.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:25 @ If one man sins against another, God will judge him. But if a man sins against the LORD, who will intercede for him?" Nevertheless they did not heed the voice of their father, because the LORD desired to kill them.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:27 @ Then a man of God came to Eli and said to him, "Thus says the LORD: "Did I not clearly reveal Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?

nkjv@1Samuel:2:28 @ Did I not choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to offer upon My altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod before Me? And did I not give to the house of your father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?

nkjv@1Samuel:2:29 @ Why do you kick at My sacrifice and My offering which I have commanded in My dwelling place, and honor your sons more than Me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people?'

nkjv@1Samuel:2:34 @ Now this shall be a sign to you that will come upon your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die, both of them.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:35 @ Then I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest who shall do according to what is in My heart and in My mind. I will build him a sure house, and he shall walk before My anointed forever.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:36 @ And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and say, "Please, put me in one of the priestly positions, that I may eat a piece of bread.""'

nkjv@1Samuel:3:1 @ Now the boy Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:2 @ And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow so dim that he could not see,

nkjv@1Samuel:3:5 @ So he ran to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." And he said, "I did not call; lie down again." And he went and lay down.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:6 @ Then the LORD called yet again, "Samuel!" So Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." He answered, "I did not call, my son; lie down again."

nkjv@1Samuel:3:7 @ (Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, nor was the word of the LORD yet revealed to him.)

nkjv@1Samuel:3:8 @ And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. So he arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you did call me." Then Eli perceived that the LORD had called the boy.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:9 @ Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, "Speak, LORD, for Your servant hears."' So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:11 @ Then the LORD said to Samuel: "Behold, I will do something in Israel at which both ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:12 @ In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:14 @ And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever."

nkjv@1Samuel:3:15 @ So Samuel lay down until morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel was afraid to tell Eli the vision.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:17 @ And he said, "What is the word that the LORD spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that He said to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:3:18 @ Then Samuel told him everything, and hid nothing from him. And he said, "It is the LORD. Let Him do what seems good to Him."

nkjv@1Samuel:3:19 @ So Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:20 @ And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel had been established as a prophet of the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:21 @ Then the LORD appeared again in Shiloh. For the LORD revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:1 @ And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out to battle against the Philistines, and encamped beside Ebenezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:3 @ And when the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, "Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Shiloh to us, that when it comes among us it may save us from the hand of our enemies."

nkjv@1Samuel:4:4 @ So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, who dwells between the cherubim. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:7 @ So the Philistines were afraid, for they said, "God has come into the camp!" And they said, "Woe to us! For such a thing has never happened before.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:8 @ Woe to us! Who will deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods who struck the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:9 @ Be strong and conduct yourselves like men, you Philistines, that you do not become servants of the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Conduct yourselves like men, and fight!"

nkjv@1Samuel:4:10 @ So the Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and every man fled to his tent. There was a very great slaughter, and there fell of Israel thirty thousand foot soldiers.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:12 @ Then a man of Benjamin ran from the battle line the same day, and came to Shiloh with his clothes torn and dirt on his head.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:16 @ Then the man said to Eli, "I am he who came from the battle. And I fled today from the battle line." And he said, "What happened, my son?"

nkjv@1Samuel:4:19 @ Now his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, due to be delivered; and when she heard the news that the ark of God was captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth, for her labor pains came upon her.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:20 @ And about the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, "Do not fear, for you have borne a son." But she did not answer, nor did she regard it.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:1 @ Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:3 @ And when the people of Ashdod arose early in the morning, there was Dagon, fallen on its face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. So they took Dagon and set it in its place again.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:4 @ And when they arose early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen on its face to the ground before the ark of the LORD. The head of Dagon and both the palms of its hands were broken off on the threshold; only Dagon's torso was left of it.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:5 @ Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon's house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:8 @ Therefore they sent and gathered to themselves all the lords of the Philistines, and said, "What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?" And they answered, "Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried away to Gath." So they carried the ark of the God of Israel away.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:10 @ Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. So it was, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, "They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people!"

nkjv@1Samuel:5:11 @ So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, "Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its own place, so that it does not kill us and our people." For there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:12 @ And the men who did not die were stricken with the tumors, and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:2 @ And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, "What shall we do with the ark of the LORD? Tell us how we should send it to its place."

nkjv@1Samuel:6:3 @ So they said, "If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty; but by all means return it to Him with a trespass offering. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why His hand is not removed from you."

nkjv@1Samuel:6:4 @ Then they said, "What is the trespass offering which we shall return to Him?" They answered, "Five golden tumors and five golden rats, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines. For the same plague was on all of you and on your lords.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:5 @ Therefore you shall make images of your tumors and images of your rats that ravage the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel; perhaps He will lighten His hand from you, from your gods, and from your land.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:7 @ Now therefore, make a new cart, take two milk cows which have never been yoked, and hitch the cows to the cart; and take their calves home, away from them.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:8 @ Then take the ark of the LORD and set it on the cart; and put the articles of gold which you are returning to Him as a trespass offering in a chest by its side. Then send it away, and let it go.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:9 @ And watch: if it goes up the road to its own territory, to Beth Shemesh, then He has done us this great evil. But if not, then we shall know that it is not His hand that struck us--it happened to us by chance."

nkjv@1Samuel:6:10 @ Then the men did so; they took two milk cows and hitched them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:12 @ Then the cows headed straight for the road to Beth Shemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right hand or the left. And the lords of the Philistines went after them to the border of Beth Shemesh.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:13 @ Now the people of Beth Shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:14 @ Then the cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh, and stood there; a large stone was there. So they split the wood of the cart and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:15 @ The Levites took down the ark of the LORD and the chest that was with it, in which were the articles of gold, and put them on the large stone. Then the men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices the same day to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:16 @ So when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:17 @ These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned as a trespass offering to the LORD: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron;

nkjv@1Samuel:6:18 @ and the golden rats, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and country villages, even as far as the large stone of Abel on which they set the ark of the LORD, which stone remains to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:20 @ And the men of Beth Shemesh said, "Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? And to whom shall it go up from us?"

nkjv@1Samuel:6:21 @ So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath Jearim, saying, "The Philistines have brought back the ark of the LORD; come down and take it up with you."

nkjv@1Samuel:7:1 @ Then the men of Kirjath Jearim came and took the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and consecrated Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:3 @ Then Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, "If you return to the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths from among you, and prepare your hearts for the LORD, and serve Him only; and He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines."

nkjv@1Samuel:7:5 @ And Samuel said, "Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to the LORD for you."

nkjv@1Samuel:7:8 @ So the children of Israel said to Samuel, "Do not cease to cry out to the LORD our God for us, that He may save us from the hand of the Philistines."

nkjv@1Samuel:7:9 @ And Samuel took a suckling lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the LORD. Then Samuel cried out to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered him.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:10 @ Now as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. But the LORD thundered with a loud thunder upon the Philistines that day, and so confused them that they were overcome before Israel.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:14 @ Then the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath; and Israel recovered its territory from the hands of the Philistines. Also there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:16 @ He went from year to year on a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah, and judged Israel in all those places.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:17 @ But he always returned to Ramah, for his home was there. There he judged Israel, and there he built an altar to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:1 @ Now it came to pass when Samuel was old that he made his sons judges over Israel.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:4 @ Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah,

nkjv@1Samuel:8:5 @ and said to him, "Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations."

nkjv@1Samuel:8:6 @ But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us." So Samuel prayed to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:7 @ And the LORD said to Samuel, "Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:8 @ According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, even to this day--with which they have forsaken Me and served other gods--so they are doing to you also.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:10 @ So Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who asked him for a king.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:11 @ And he said, "This will be the behavior of the king who will reign over you: He will take your sons and appoint them for his own chariots and to be his horsemen, and some will run before his chariots.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:12 @ He will appoint captains over his thousands and captains over his fifties, will set some to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and some to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:13 @ He will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, and bakers.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:14 @ And he will take the best of your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, and give them to his servants.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:15 @ He will take a tenth of your grain and your vintage, and give it to his officers and servants.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:16 @ And he will take your male servants, your female servants, your finest young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:19 @ Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, "No, but we will have a king over us,

nkjv@1Samuel:8:22 @ So the LORD said to Samuel, "Heed their voice, and make them a king." And Samuel said to the men of Israel, "Every man go to his city."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:3 @ Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul's father, were lost. And Kish said to his son Saul, "Please take one of the servants with you, and arise, go and look for the donkeys."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:5 @ When they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, "Come, let us return, lest my father cease caring about the donkeys and become worried about us."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:6 @ And he said to him, "Look now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honorable man; all that he says surely comes to pass. So let us go there; perhaps he can show us the way that we should go."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:7 @ Then Saul said to his servant, "But look, if we go, what shall we bring the man? For the bread in our vessels is all gone, and there is no present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?"

nkjv@1Samuel:9:8 @ And the servant answered Saul again and said, "Look, I have here at hand one-fourth of a shekel of silver. I will give that to the man of God, to tell us our way."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:9 @ (Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he spoke thus: "Come, let us go to the seer"; for he who is now called a prophet was formerly called a seer.)

nkjv@1Samuel:9:10 @ Then Saul said to his servant, "Well said; come, let us go." So they went to the city where the man of God was.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:11 @ As they went up the hill to the city, they met some young women going out to draw water, and said to them, "Is the seer here?"

nkjv@1Samuel:9:12 @ And they answered them and said, "Yes, there he is, just ahead of you. Hurry now; for today he came to this city, because there is a sacrifice of the people today on the high place.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:13 @ As soon as you come into the city, you will surely find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. For the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now therefore, go up, for about this time you will find him."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:14 @ So they went up to the city. As they were coming into the city, there was Samuel, coming out toward them on his way up to the high place.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:16 @ "Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him commander over My people Israel, that he may save My people from the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:17 @ So when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said to him, "There he is, the man of whom I spoke to you. This one shall reign over My people."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:18 @ Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, "Please tell me, where is the seer's house?"

nkjv@1Samuel:9:19 @ Samuel answered Saul and said, "I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today; and tomorrow I will let you go and will tell you all that is in your heart.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:21 @ And Saul answered and said, "Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak like this to me?"

nkjv@1Samuel:9:23 @ And Samuel said to the cook, "Bring the portion which I gave you, of which I said to you, "Set it apart."'

nkjv@1Samuel:9:26 @ They arose early; and it was about the dawning of the day that Samuel called to Saul on the top of the house, saying, "Get up, that I may send you on your way." And Saul arose, and both of them went outside, he and Samuel.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:27 @ As they were going down to the outskirts of the city, Samuel said to Saul, "Tell the servant to go on ahead of us." And he went on. "But you stand here awhile, that I may announce to you the word of God."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:2 @ When you have departed from me today, you will find two men by Rachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, "The donkeys which you went to look for have been found. And now your father has ceased caring about the donkeys and is worrying about you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"'

nkjv@1Samuel:10:3 @ Then you shall go on forward from there and come to the terebinth tree of Tabor. There three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:5 @ After that you shall come to the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is. And it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a stringed instrument, a tambourine, a flute, and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:7 @ And let it be, when these signs come to you, that you do as the occasion demands; for God is with you.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:8 @ You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and surely I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and make sacrifices of peace offerings. Seven days you shall wait, till I come to you and show you what you should do."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:9 @ So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:10 @ When they came there to the hill, there was a group of prophets to meet him; then the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:11 @ And it happened, when all who knew him formerly saw that he indeed prophesied among the prophets, that the people said to one another, "What is this that has come upon the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"

nkjv@1Samuel:10:13 @ And when he had finished prophesying, he went to the high place.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:14 @ Then Saul's uncle said to him and his servant, "Where did you go?" So he said, "To look for the donkeys. When we saw that they were nowhere to be found, we went to Samuel."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:15 @ And Saul's uncle said, "Tell me, please, what Samuel said to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:16 @ So Saul said to his uncle, "He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found." But about the matter of the kingdom, he did not tell him what Samuel had said.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:17 @ Then Samuel called the people together to the LORD at Mizpah,

nkjv@1Samuel:10:18 @ and said to the children of Israel, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel: "I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all kingdoms and from those who oppressed you.'

nkjv@1Samuel:10:19 @ But you have today rejected your God, who Himself saved you from all your adversities and your tribulations; and you have said to Him, "No, set a king over us!' Now therefore, present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and by your clans."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:20 @ And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:21 @ When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was chosen. And Saul the son of Kish was chosen. But when they sought him, he could not be found.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:24 @ And Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people?" So all the people shouted and said, "Long live the king!"

nkjv@1Samuel:10:25 @ Then Samuel explained to the people the behavior of royalty, and wrote it in a book and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:26 @ And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and valiant men went with him, whose hearts God had touched.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:1 @ Then Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh Gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:3 @ Then the elders of Jabesh said to him, "Hold off for seven days, that we may send messengers to all the territory of Israel. And then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:4 @ So the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and told the news in the hearing of the people. And all the people lifted up their voices and wept.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:7 @ So he took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, "Whoever does not go out with Saul and Samuel to battle, so it shall be done to his oxen." And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:9 @ And they said to the messengers who came, "Thus you shall say to the men of Jabesh Gilead: "Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have help."' Then the messengers came and reported it to the men of Jabesh, and they were glad.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:10 @ Therefore the men of Jabesh said, "Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do with us whatever seems good to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:12 @ Then the people said to Samuel, "Who is he who said, "Shall Saul reign over us?' Bring the men, that we may put them to death."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:13 @ But Saul said, "Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today the LORD has accomplished salvation in Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:14 @ Then Samuel said to the people, "Come, let us go to Gilgal and renew the kingdom there."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:15 @ So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they made sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:1 @ Now Samuel said to all Israel: "Indeed I have heeded your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:2 @ And now here is the king, walking before you; and I am old and grayheaded, and look, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my childhood to this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:7 @ Now therefore, stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD concerning all the righteous acts of the LORD which He did to you and your fathers:

nkjv@1Samuel:12:8 @ When Jacob had gone into Egypt, and your fathers cried out to the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt and made them dwell in this place.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:10 @ Then they cried out to the LORD, and said, "We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD and served the Baals and Ashtoreths; but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve You.'

nkjv@1Samuel:13:21 @ and the charge for a sharpening was a pim for the plowshares, the mattocks, the forks, and the axes, and to set the points of the goads.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:23 @ And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:1 @ Now it happened one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, let us go over to the Philistines' garrison that is on the other side." But he did not tell his father.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:4 @ Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp rock on one side and a sharp rock on the other side. And the name of one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:6 @ Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the LORD will work for us. For nothing restrains the LORD from saving by many or by few."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:7 @ So his armorbearer said to him, "Do all that is in your heart. Go then; here I am with you, according to your heart."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:8 @ Then Jonathan said, "Very well, let us cross over to these men, and we will show ourselves to them.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:9 @ If they say thus to us, "Wait until we come to you,' then we will stand still in our place and not go up to them.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:10 @ But if they say thus, "Come up to us,' then we will go up. For the LORD has delivered them into our hand, and this will be a sign to us."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:11 @ So both of them showed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, "Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hidden."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:12 @ Then the men of the garrison called to Jonathan and his armorbearer, and said, "Come up to us, and we will show you something." Jonathan said to his armorbearer, "Come up after me, for the LORD has delivered them into the hand of Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:17 @ Then Saul said to the people who were with him, "Now call the roll and see who has gone from us." And when they had called the roll, surprisingly, Jonathan and his armorbearer were not there.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:18 @ And Saul said to Ahijah, "Bring the ark of God here" (for at that time the ark of God was with the children of Israel).

nkjv@1Samuel:14:19 @ Now it happened, while Saul talked to the priest, that the noise which was in the camp of the Philistines continued to increase; so Saul said to the priest, "Withdraw your hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:20 @ Then Saul and all the people who were with him assembled, and they went to the battle; and indeed every man's sword was against his neighbor, and there was very great confusion.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:23 @ So the LORD saved Israel that day, and the battle shifted to Beth Aven.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:25 @ Now all the people of the land came to a forest; and there was honey on the ground.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:26 @ And when the people had come into the woods, there was the honey, dripping; but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:27 @ But Jonathan had not heard his father charge the people with the oath; therefore he stretched out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in a honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his countenance brightened.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:31 @ Now they had driven back the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. So the people were very faint.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:33 @ Then they told Saul, saying, "Look, the people are sinning against the LORD by eating with the blood!" So he said, "You have dealt treacherously; roll a large stone to me this day."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:34 @ Then Saul said, "Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, "Bring me here every man's ox and every man's sheep, slaughter them here, and eat; and do not sin against the LORD by eating with the blood."' So every one of the people brought his ox with him that night, and slaughtered it there.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:35 @ Then Saul built an altar to the LORD. This was the first altar that he built to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:36 @ Now Saul said, "Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and plunder them until the morning light; and let us not leave a man of them." And they said, "Do whatever seems good to you." Then the priest said, "Let us draw near to God here."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:40 @ Then he said to all Israel, "You be on one side, and my son Jonathan and I will be on the other side." And the people said to Saul, "Do what seems good to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:41 @ Therefore Saul said to the LORD God of Israel, "Give a perfect lot." So Saul and Jonathan were taken, but the people escaped.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:43 @ Then Saul said to Jonathan, "Tell me what you have done." And Jonathan told him, and said, "I only tasted a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand. So now I must die!"

nkjv@1Samuel:14:45 @ But the people said to Saul, "Shall Jonathan die, who has accomplished this great deliverance in Israel? Certainly not! As the LORD lives, not one hair of his head shall fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day." So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:46 @ Then Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their own place.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:1 @ Samuel also said to Saul, "The LORD sent me to anoint you king over His people, over Israel. Now therefore, heed the voice of the words of the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:2 @ Thus says the LORD of hosts: "I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:5 @ And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:6 @ Then Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, get down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them. For you showed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt." So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:7 @ And Saul attacked the Amalekites, from Havilah all the way to Shur, which is east of Egypt.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:9 @ But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But everything despised and worthless, that they utterly destroyed.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:10 @ Now the word of the LORD came to Samuel, saying,

nkjv@1Samuel:15:11 @ "I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not performed My commandments." And it grieved Samuel, and he cried out to the LORD all night.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:12 @ So when Samuel rose early in the morning to meet Saul, it was told Samuel, saying, "Saul went to Carmel, and indeed, he set up a monument for himself; and he has gone on around, passed by, and gone down to Gilgal."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:13 @ Then Samuel went to Saul, and Saul said to him, "Blessed are you of the LORD! I have performed the commandment of the LORD."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:15 @ And Saul said, "They have brought them from the Amalekites; for the people spared the best of the sheep and the oxen, to sacrifice to the LORD your God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:16 @ Then Samuel said to Saul, "Be quiet! And I will tell you what the LORD said to me last night." And he said to him, "Speak on."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:20 @ And Saul said to Samuel, "But I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and gone on the mission on which the LORD sent me, and brought back Agag king of Amalek; I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:21 @ But the people took of the plunder, sheep and oxen, the best of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the LORD your God in Gilgal."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:22 @ So Samuel said: "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:24 @ Then Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:26 @ But Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you, for you have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:27 @ And as Samuel turned around to go away, Saul seized the edge of his robe, and it tore.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:28 @ So Samuel said to him, "The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:32 @ Then Samuel said, "Bring Agag king of the Amalekites here to me." So Agag came to him cautiously. And Agag said, "Surely the bitterness of death is past."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:34 @ Then Samuel went to Ramah, and Saul went up to his house at Gibeah of Saul.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:35 @ And Samuel went no more to see Saul until the day of his death. Nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul, and the LORD regretted that He had made Saul king over Israel.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:1 @ Now the LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:2 @ And Samuel said, "How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me." But the LORD said, "Take a heifer with you, and say, "I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.'

nkjv@1Samuel:16:3 @ Then invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; you shall anoint for Me the one I name to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:4 @ So Samuel did what the LORD said, and went to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, "Do you come peaceably?"

nkjv@1Samuel:16:5 @ And he said, "Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice." Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons, and invited them to the sacrifice.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:7 @ But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:10 @ Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, "The LORD has not chosen these."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:11 @ And Samuel said to Jesse, "Are all the young men here?" Then he said, "There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the sheep." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and bring him. For we will not sit down till he comes here."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:13 @ Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:15 @ And Saul's servants said to him, "Surely, a distressing spirit from God is troubling you.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:16 @ Let our master now command your servants, who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp. And it shall be that he will play it with his hand when the distressing spirit from God is upon you, and you shall be well."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:17 @ So Saul said to his servants, "Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:19 @ Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, "Send me your son David, who is with the sheep."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:20 @ And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by his son David to Saul.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:21 @ So David came to Saul and stood before him. And he loved him greatly, and he became his armorbearer.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:22 @ Then Saul sent to Jesse, saying, "Please let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:1 @ Now the Philistines gathered their armies together to battle, and were gathered at Sochoh, which belongs to Judah; they encamped between Sochoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:8 @ Then he stood and cried out to the armies of Israel, and said to them, "Why have you come out to line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:9 @ If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:13 @ The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone to follow Saul to the battle. The names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:15 @ But David occasionally went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:17 @ Then Jesse said to his son David, "Take now for your brothers an ephah of this dried grain and these ten loaves, and run to your brothers at the camp.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:18 @ And carry these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers fare, and bring back news of them."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:20 @ So David rose early in the morning, left the sheep with a keeper, and took the things and went as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the camp as the army was going out to the fight and shouting for the battle.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:22 @ And David left his supplies in the hand of the supply keeper, ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:23 @ Then as he talked with them, there was the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, coming up from the armies of the Philistines; and he spoke according to the same words. So David heard them.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:25 @ So the men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? Surely he has come up to defy Israel; and it shall be that the man who kills him the king will enrich with great riches, will give him his daughter, and give his father's house exemption from taxes in Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:26 @ Then David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"

nkjv@1Samuel:17:28 @ Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was aroused against David, and he said, "Why did you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the insolence of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:31 @ Now when the words which David spoke were heard, they reported them to Saul; and he sent for him.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:32 @ Then David said to Saul, "Let no man's heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:33 @ And Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:34 @ But David said to Saul, "Your servant used to keep his father's sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock,

nkjv@1Samuel:17:37 @ Moreover David said, "The LORD, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, "Go, and the LORD be with you!"

nkjv@1Samuel:17:39 @ David fastened his sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, "I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them." So David took them off.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:40 @ Then he took his staff in his hand; and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag, in a pouch which he had, and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:41 @ So the Philistine came, and began drawing near to David, and the man who bore the shield went before him.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:43 @ So the Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:44 @ And the Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!"

nkjv@1Samuel:17:45 @ Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:46 @ This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:48 @ So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:49 @ Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:52 @ Now the men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as the entrance of the valley and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell along the road to Shaaraim, even as far as Gath and Ekron.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:54 @ And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:55 @ When Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, "Abner, whose son is this youth?" And Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I do not know."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:58 @ And Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, young man?" So David answered, "I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."

nkjv@1Samuel:18:1 @ Now when he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:2 @ Saul took him that day, and would not let him go home to his father's house anymore.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:4 @ And Jonathan took off the robe that was on him and gave it to David, with his armor, even to his sword and his bow and his belt.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:6 @ Now it had happened as they were coming home, when David was returning from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women had come out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with musical instruments.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:8 @ Then Saul was very angry, and the saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed only thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?"

nkjv@1Samuel:18:11 @ And Saul cast the spear, for he said, "I will pin David to the wall!" But David escaped his presence twice.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:17 @ Then Saul said to David, "Here is my older daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight the LORD's battles." For Saul thought, "Let my hand not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him."

nkjv@1Samuel:18:18 @ So David said to Saul, "Who am I, and what is my life or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?"

nkjv@1Samuel:18:19 @ But it happened at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as a wife.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:21 @ So Saul said, "I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David a second time, "You shall be my son-in-law today."

nkjv@1Samuel:18:23 @ So Saul's servants spoke those words in the hearing of David. And David said, "Does it seem to you a light thing to be a king's son-in-law, seeing I am a poor and lightly esteemed man?"

nkjv@1Samuel:18:25 @ Then Saul said, "Thus you shall say to David: "The king does not desire any dowry but one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to take vengeance on the king's enemies."' But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:26 @ So when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to become the king's son-in-law. Now the days had not expired;

nkjv@1Samuel:18:27 @ therefore David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full count to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as a wife.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:30 @ Then the princes of the Philistines went out to war. And so it was, whenever they went out, that David behaved more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name became highly esteemed.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:1 @ Now Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David; but Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted greatly in David.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:2 @ So Jonathan told David, saying, "My father Saul seeks to kill you. Therefore please be on your guard until morning, and stay in a secret place and hide.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:4 @ Thus Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Let not the king sin against his servant, against David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:5 @ For he took his life in his hands and killed the Philistine, and the LORD brought about a great deliverance for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?"

nkjv@1Samuel:19:7 @ Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these things. So Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as in times past.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:10 @ Then Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away from Saul's presence; and he drove the spear into the wall. So David fled and escaped that night.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:11 @ Saul also sent messengers to David's house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. And Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed."

nkjv@1Samuel:19:14 @ So when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, "He is sick."

nkjv@1Samuel:19:15 @ Then Saul sent the messengers back to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him."

nkjv@1Samuel:19:17 @ Then Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me like this, and sent my enemy away, so that he has escaped?" And Michal answered Saul, "He said to me, "Let me go! Why should I kill you?"'

nkjv@1Samuel:19:18 @ So David fled and escaped, and went to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:20 @ Then Saul sent messengers to take David. And when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as leader over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:22 @ Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is at Sechu. So he asked, and said, "Where are Samuel and David?" And someone said, "Indeed they are at Naioth in Ramah."

nkjv@1Samuel:19:23 @ So he went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on and prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:1 @ Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and went and said to Jonathan, "What have I done? What is my iniquity, and what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:2 @ So Jonathan said to him, "By no means! You shall not die! Indeed, my father will do nothing either great or small without first telling me. And why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so!"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:4 @ So Jonathan said to David, "Whatever you yourself desire, I will do it for you."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:5 @ And David said to Jonathan, "Indeed tomorrow is the New Moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king to eat. But let me go, that I may hide in the field until the third day at evening.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:6 @ If your father misses me at all, then say, "David earnestly asked permission of me that he might run over to Bethlehem, his city, for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.'

nkjv@1Samuel:20:8 @ Therefore you shall deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you. Nevertheless, if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:9 @ But Jonathan said, "Far be it from you! For if I knew certainly that evil was determined by my father to come upon you, then would I not tell you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:10 @ Then David said to Jonathan, "Who will tell me, or what if your father answers you roughly?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:11 @ And Jonathan said to David, "Come, let us go out into the field." So both of them went out into the field.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:12 @ Then Jonathan said to David: "The LORD God of Israel is witness! When I have sounded out my father sometime tomorrow, or the third day, and indeed there is good toward David, and I do not send to you and tell you,

nkjv@1Samuel:20:13 @ may the LORD do so and much more to Jonathan. But if it pleases my father to do you evil, then I will report it to you and send you away, that you may go in safety. And the LORD be with you as He has been with my father.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:17 @ Now Jonathan again caused David to vow, because he loved him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:18 @ Then Jonathan said to David, "Tomorrow is the New Moon; and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:19 @ And when you have stayed three days, go down quickly and come to the place where you hid on the day of the deed; and remain by the stone Ezel.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:20 @ Then I will shoot three arrows to the side, as though I shot at a target;

nkjv@1Samuel:20:21 @ and there I will send a lad, saying, "Go, find the arrows.' If I expressly say to the lad, "Look, the arrows are on this side of you; get them and come'--then, as the LORD lives, there is safety for you and no harm.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:22 @ But if I say thus to the young man, "Look, the arrows are beyond you'--go your way, for the LORD has sent you away.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:24 @ Then David hid in the field. And when the New Moon had come, the king sat down to eat the feast.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:26 @ Nevertheless Saul did not say anything that day, for he thought, "Something has happened to him; he is unclean, surely he is unclean."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:27 @ And it happened the next day, the second day of the month, that David's place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why has the son of Jesse not come to eat, either yesterday or today?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:28 @ So Jonathan answered Saul, "David earnestly asked permission of me to go to Bethlehem.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:30 @ Then Saul's anger was aroused against Jonathan, and he said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?

nkjv@1Samuel:20:31 @ For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Now therefore, send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:32 @ And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, "Why should he be killed? What has he done?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:33 @ Then Saul cast a spear at him to kill him, by which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to kill David.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:36 @ Then he said to his lad, "Now run, find the arrows which I shoot." As the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:37 @ When the lad had come to the place where the arrow was which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried out after the lad and said, "Is not the arrow beyond you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:38 @ And Jonathan cried out after the lad, "Make haste, hurry, do not delay!" So Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows and came back to his master.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:40 @ Then Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad, and said to him, "Go, carry them to the city."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:41 @ As soon as the lad had gone, David arose from a place toward the south, fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down three times. And they kissed one another; and they wept together, but David more so.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:42 @ Then Jonathan said to David, "Go in peace, since we have both sworn in the name of the LORD, saying, "May the LORD be between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants, forever."' So he arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:1 @ Now David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech was afraid when he met David, and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no one is with you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:21:2 @ So David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has ordered me on some business, and said to me, "Do not let anyone know anything about the business on which I send you, or what I have commanded you.' And I have directed my young men to such and such a place.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:5 @ Then David answered the priest, and said to him, "Truly, women have been kept from us about three days since I came out. And the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in effect common, even though it was consecrated in the vessel this day."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:6 @ So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the showbread which had been taken from before the LORD, in order to put hot bread in its place on the day when it was taken away.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:7 @ Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD. And his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:8 @ And David said to Ahimelech, "Is there not here on hand a spear or a sword? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:9 @ So the priest said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, there it is, wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it. For there is no other except that one here." And David said, "There is none like it; give it to me."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:10 @ Then David arose and fled that day from before Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:11 @ And the servants of Achish said to him, "Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of him to one another in dances, saying: "Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands'?"

nkjv@1Samuel:21:12 @ Now David took these words to heart, and was very much afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:14 @ Then Achish said to his servants, "Look, you see the man is insane. Why have you brought him to me?

nkjv@1Samuel:21:15 @ Have I need of madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?"

nkjv@1Samuel:22:1 @ David therefore departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. So when his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:2 @ And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:3 @ Then David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and mother come here with you, till I know what God will do for me."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:5 @ Now the prophet Gad said to David, "Do not stay in the stronghold; depart, and go to the land of Judah." So David departed and went into the forest of Hereth.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:7 @ then Saul said to his servants who stood about him, "Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds?

nkjv@1Samuel:22:8 @ All of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who reveals to me that my son has made a covenant with the son of Jesse; and there is not one of you who is sorry for me or reveals to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:9 @ Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said, "I saw the son of Jesse going to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:11 @ So the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests who were in Nob. And they all came to the king.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:13 @ Then Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day?"

nkjv@1Samuel:22:15 @ Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? Far be it from me! Let not the king impute anything to his servant, or to any in the house of my father. For your servant knew nothing of all this, little or much."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:17 @ Then the king said to the guards who stood about him, "Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled and did not tell it to me." But the servants of the king would not lift their hands to strike the priests of the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:18 @ And the king said to Doeg, "You turn and kill the priests!" So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck the priests, and killed on that day eighty-five men who wore a linen ephod.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:22 @ So David said to Abiathar, "I knew that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have caused the death of all the persons of your father's house.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:2 @ Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" And the LORD said to David, "Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:3 @ But David's men said to him, "Look, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?"

nkjv@1Samuel:23:4 @ Then David inquired of the LORD once again. And the LORD answered him and said, "Arise, go down to Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:5 @ And David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, struck them with a mighty blow, and took away their livestock. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:6 @ Now it happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah, that he went down with an ephod in his hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:7 @ And Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah. So Saul said, "God has delivered him into my hand, for he has shut himself in by entering a town that has gates and bars."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:8 @ Then Saul called all the people together for war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:9 @ When David knew that Saul plotted evil against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, "Bring the ephod here."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:10 @ Then David said, "O LORD God of Israel, Your servant has certainly heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:15 @ So David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. And David was in the Wilderness of Ziph in a forest.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:16 @ Then Jonathan, Saul's son, arose and went to David in the woods and strengthened his hand in God.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:17 @ And he said to him, "Do not fear, for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you. You shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you. Even my father Saul knows that."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:18 @ So the two of them made a covenant before the LORD. And David stayed in the woods, and Jonathan went to his own house.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:19 @ Then the Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Is David not hiding with us in strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?

nkjv@1Samuel:23:20 @ Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king's hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:23 @ See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides; and come back to me with certainty, and I will go with you. And it shall be, if he is in the land, that I will search for him throughout all the clans of Judah."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:24 @ So they arose and went to Ziph before Saul. But David and his men were in the Wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:25 @ When Saul and his men went to seek him, they told David. Therefore he went down to the rock, and stayed in the Wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued David in the Wilderness of Maon.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:26 @ Then Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain. So David made haste to get away from Saul, for Saul and his men were encircling David and his men to take them.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:27 @ But a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Hurry and come, for the Philistines have invaded the land!"

nkjv@1Samuel:24:2 @ Then Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the Rocks of the Wild Goats.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:3 @ So he came to the sheepfolds by the road, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to attend to his needs. (David and his men were staying in the recesses of the cave.)

nkjv@1Samuel:24:4 @ Then the men of David said to him, "This is the day of which the LORD said to you, "Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as it seems good to you."' And David arose and secretly cut off a corner of Saul's robe.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:6 @ And he said to his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD's anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD."

nkjv@1Samuel:24:7 @ So David restrained his servants with these words, and did not allow them to rise against Saul. And Saul got up from the cave and went on his way.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:8 @ David also arose afterward, went out of the cave, and called out to Saul, saying, "My lord the king!" And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed down.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:9 @ And David said to Saul: "Why do you listen to the words of men who say, "Indeed David seeks your harm'?

nkjv@1Samuel:24:10 @ Look, this day your eyes have seen that the LORD delivered you today into my hand in the cave, and someone urged me to kill you. But my eye spared you, and I said, "I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD's anointed.'

nkjv@1Samuel:24:11 @ Moreover, my father, see! Yes, see the corner of your robe in my hand! For in that I cut off the corner of your robe, and did not kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor rebellion in my hand, and I have not sinned against you. Yet you hunt my life to take it.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:16 @ So it was, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:17 @ Then he said to David: "You are more righteous than I; for you have rewarded me with good, whereas I have rewarded you with evil.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:19 @ For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him get away safely? Therefore may the LORD reward you with good for what you have done to me this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:21 @ Therefore swear now to me by the LORD that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name from my father's house."

nkjv@1Samuel:24:22 @ So David swore to Saul. And Saul went home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:1 @ Then Samuel died; and the Israelites gathered together and lamented for him, and buried him at his home in Ramah. And David arose and went down to the Wilderness of Paran.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:5 @ David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, "Go up to Carmel, go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:6 @ And thus you shall say to him who lives in prosperity: "Peace be to you, peace to your house, and peace to all that you have!

nkjv@1Samuel:25:8 @ Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a feast day. Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants and to your son David."'

nkjv@1Samuel:25:9 @ So when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all these words in the name of David, and waited.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:11 @ Shall I then take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men when I do not know where they are from?"

nkjv@1Samuel:25:13 @ Then David said to his men, "Every man gird on his sword." So every man girded on his sword, and David also girded on his sword. And about four hundred men went with David, and two hundred stayed with the supplies.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:14 @ Now one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, "Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master; and he reviled them.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:15 @ But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, nor did we miss anything as long as we accompanied them, when we were in the fields.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:16 @ They were a wall to us both by night and day, all the time we were with them keeping the sheep.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:17 @ Now therefore, know and consider what you will do, for harm is determined against our master and against all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that one cannot speak to him."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:19 @ And she said to her servants, "Go on before me; see, I am coming after you." But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:21 @ Now David had said, "Surely in vain I have protected all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belongs to him. And he has repaid me evil for good.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:22 @ May God do so, and more also, to the enemies of David, if I leave one male of all who belong to him by morning light."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:23 @ Now when Abigail saw David, she dismounted quickly from the donkey, fell on her face before David, and bowed down to the ground.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:26 @ Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, since the LORD has held you back from coming to bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now then, let your enemies and those who seek harm for my lord be as Nabal.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:27 @ And now this present which your maidservant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:29 @ Yet a man has risen to pursue you and seek your life, but the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with the LORD your God; and the lives of your enemies He shall sling out, as from the pocket of a sling.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:30 @ And it shall come to pass, when the LORD has done for my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you ruler over Israel,

nkjv@1Samuel:25:31 @ that this will be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. But when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, then remember your maidservant."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:32 @ Then David said to Abigail: "Blessed is the LORD God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me!

nkjv@1Samuel:25:33 @ And blessed is your advice and blessed are you, because you have kept me this day from coming to bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:34 @ For indeed, as the LORD God of Israel lives, who has kept me back from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely by morning light no males would have been left to Nabal!"

nkjv@1Samuel:25:35 @ So David received from her hand what she had brought him, and said to her, "Go up in peace to your house. See, I have heeded your voice and respected your person."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:36 @ Now Abigail went to Nabal, and there he was, holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; therefore she told him nothing, little or much, until morning light.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:39 @ So when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed be the LORD, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept His servant from evil! For the LORD has returned the wickedness of Nabal on his own head." And David sent and proposed to Abigail, to take her as his wife.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:40 @ When the servants of David had come to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her saying, "David sent us to you, to ask you to become his wife."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:41 @ Then she arose, bowed her face to the earth, and said, "Here is your maidservant, a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:44 @ But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was from Gallim.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:1 @ Now the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Is David not hiding in the hill of Hachilah, opposite Jeshimon?"

nkjv@1Samuel:26:2 @ Then Saul arose and went down to the Wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the Wilderness of Ziph.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:5 @ So David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped. And David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army. Now Saul lay within the camp, with the people encamped all around him.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:6 @ Then David answered, and said to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, "Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?" And Abishai said, "I will go down with you."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:7 @ So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and there Saul lay sleeping within the camp, with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. And Abner and the people lay all around him.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:8 @ Then Abishai said to David, "God has delivered your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore, please, let me strike him at once with the spear, right to the earth; and I will not have to strike him a second time!"

nkjv@1Samuel:26:9 @ But David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him; for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD's anointed, and be guiltless?"

nkjv@1Samuel:26:10 @ David said furthermore, "As the LORD lives, the LORD shall strike him, or his day shall come to die, or he shall go out to battle and perish.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:13 @ Now David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of a hill afar off, a great distance being between them.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:14 @ And David called out to the people and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, "Do you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner answered and said, "Who are you, calling out to the king?"

nkjv@1Samuel:26:15 @ So David said to Abner, "Are you not a man? And who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy your lord the king.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:16 @ This thing that you have done is not good. As the LORD lives, you deserve to die, because you have not guarded your master, the LORD's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the jug of water that was by his head."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:20 @ So now, do not let my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD. For the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:25 @ Then Saul said to David, "May you be blessed, my son David! You shall both do great things and also still prevail." So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:1 @ And David said in his heart, "Now I shall perish someday by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape to the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me anymore in any part of Israel. So I shall escape out of his hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:27:2 @ Then David arose and went over with the six hundred men who were with him to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:4 @ And it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath; so he sought him no more.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:5 @ Then David said to Achish, "If I have now found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:27:6 @ So Achish gave him Ziklag that day. Therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:8 @ And David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. For those nations were the inhabitants of the land from of old, as you go to Shur, even as far as the land of Egypt.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:9 @ Whenever David attacked the land, he left neither man nor woman alive, but took away the sheep, the oxen, the donkeys, the camels, and the apparel, and returned and came to Achish.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:11 @ David would save neither man nor woman alive, to bring news to Gath, saying, "Lest they should inform on us, saying, "Thus David did."' And thus was his behavior all the time he dwelt in the country of the Philistines.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:1 @ Now it happened in those days that the Philistines gathered their armies together for war, to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, "You assuredly know that you will go out with me to battle, you and your men."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:2 @ So David said to Achish, "Surely you know what your servant can do." And Achish said to David, "Therefore I will make you one of my chief guardians forever."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:7 @ Then Saul said to his servants, "Find me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her." And his servants said to him, "In fact, there is a woman who is a medium at En Dor."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:8 @ So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, "Please conduct a s^eaance for me, and bring up for me the one I shall name to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:9 @ Then the woman said to him, "Look, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the spiritists from the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?"

nkjv@1Samuel:28:10 @ And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, "As the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:12 @ When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. And the woman spoke to Saul, saying, "Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!"

nkjv@1Samuel:28:13 @ And the king said to her, "Do not be afraid. What did you see?" And the woman said to Saul, "I saw a spirit ascending out of the earth."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:14 @ So he said to her, "What is his form?" And she said, "An old man is coming up, and he is covered with a mantle." And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground and bowed down.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:15 @ Now Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" And Saul answered, "I am deeply distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me and does not answer me anymore, neither by prophets nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may reveal to me what I should do."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:17 @ And the LORD has done for Himself as He spoke by me. For the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:18 @ Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD nor execute His fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:21 @ And the woman came to Saul and saw that he was severely troubled, and said to him, "Look, your maidservant has obeyed your voice, and I have put my life in my hands and heeded the words which you spoke to me.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:24 @ Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she hastened to kill it. And she took flour and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread from it.

nkjv@1Samuel:29:3 @ Then the princes of the Philistines said, "What are these Hebrews doing here?" And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, "Is this not David, the servant of Saul king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or these years? And to this day I have found no fault in him since he defected to me."

nkjv@1Samuel:29:4 @ But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; so the princes of the Philistines said to him, "Make this fellow return, that he may go back to the place which you have appointed for him, and do not let him go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become our adversary. For with what could he reconcile himself to his master, if not with the heads of these men?

nkjv@1Samuel:29:5 @ Is this not David, of whom they sang to one another in dances, saying: "Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands'?"

nkjv@1Samuel:29:6 @ Then Achish called David and said to him, "Surely, as the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight. For to this day I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me. Nevertheless the lords do not favor you.

nkjv@1Samuel:29:8 @ So David said to Achish, "But what have I done? And to this day what have you found in your servant as long as I have been with you, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"

nkjv@1Samuel:29:9 @ Then Achish answered and said to David, "I know that you are as good in my sight as an angel of God; nevertheless the princes of the Philistines have said, "He shall not go up with us to the battle.'

nkjv@1Samuel:29:11 @ So David and his men rose early to depart in the morning, to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:1 @ Now it happened, when David and his men came to Ziklag, on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the South and Ziklag, attacked Ziklag and burned it with fire,

nkjv@1Samuel:30:12 @ And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. So when he had eaten, his strength came back to him; for he had eaten no bread nor drunk water for three days and three nights.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:13 @ Then David said to him, "To whom do you belong, and where are you from?" And he said, "I am a young man from Egypt, servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me behind, because three days ago I fell sick.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:14 @ In the morning it happened that David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:16 @ So it was, while Joab besieged the city, that he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew there were valiant men.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:27 @ And when her mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:1 @ Then the LORD sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him: "There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:3 @ But the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb which he had bought and nourished; and it grew up together with him and with his children. It ate of his own food and drank from his own cup and lay in his bosom; and it was like a daughter to him.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:4 @ And a traveler came to the rich man, who refused to take from his own flock and from his own herd to prepare one for the wayfaring man who had come to him; but he took the poor man's lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him."

nkjv@2Samuel:12:5 @ So David's anger was greatly aroused against the man, and he said to Nathan, "As the LORD lives, the man who has done this shall surely die!

nkjv@2Samuel:12:7 @ Then Nathan said to David, "You are the man! Thus says the LORD God of Israel: "I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:9 @ Why have you despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in His sight? You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the people of Ammon.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:10 @ Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.'

nkjv@2Samuel:12:11 @ Thus says the LORD: "Behold, I will raise up adversity against you from your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:14 @ However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die."

nkjv@2Samuel:12:15 @ Then Nathan departed to his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it became ill.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:17 @ So the elders of his house arose and went to him, to raise him up from the ground. But he would not, nor did he eat food with them.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:18 @ Then on the seventh day it came to pass that the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead. For they said, "Indeed, while the child was alive, we spoke to him, and he would not heed our voice. How can we tell him that the child is dead? He may do some harm!"

nkjv@2Samuel:12:19 @ When David saw that his servants were whispering, David perceived that the child was dead. Therefore David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" And they said, "He is dead."

nkjv@2Samuel:12:20 @ So David arose from the ground, washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went to his own house; and when he requested, they set food before him, and he ate.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:21 @ Then his servants said to him, "What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child died, you arose and ate food."

nkjv@2Samuel:12:24 @ Then David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her and lay with her. So she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. Now the LORD loved him,

nkjv@2Samuel:12:27 @ And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, "I have fought against Rabbah, and I have taken the city's water supply.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:29 @ So David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, fought against it, and took it.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:31 @ And he brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work with saws and iron picks and iron axes, and made them cross over to the brick works. So he did to all the cities of the people of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:4 @ And he said to him, "Why are you, the king's son, becoming thinner day after day? Will you not tell me?" Amnon said to him, "I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:5 @ So Jonadab said to him, "Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill. And when your father comes to see you, say to him, "Please let my sister Tamar come and give me food, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from her hand."'

nkjv@2Samuel:13:6 @ Then Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, "Please let Tamar my sister come and make a couple of cakes for me in my sight, that I may eat from her hand."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:7 @ And David sent home to Tamar, saying, "Now go to your brother Amnon's house, and prepare food for him."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:8 @ So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was lying down. Then she took flour and kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:9 @ And she took the pan and placed them out before him, but he refused to eat. Then Amnon said, "Have everyone go out from me." And they all went out from him.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:10 @ Then Amnon said to Tamar, "Bring the food into the bedroom, that I may eat from your hand." And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to Amnon her brother in the bedroom.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:11 @ Now when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to her, "Come, lie with me, my sister."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:13 @ And I, where could I take my shame? And as for you, you would be like one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:15 @ Then Amnon hated her exceedingly, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, "Arise, be gone!"

nkjv@2Samuel:13:16 @ So she said to him, "No, indeed! This evil of sending me away is worse than the other that you did to me." But he would not listen to her.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:20 @ And Absalom her brother said to her, "Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother; do not take this thing to heart." So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:22 @ And Absalom spoke to his brother Amnon neither good nor bad. For Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:23 @ And it came to pass, after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal Hazor, which is near Ephraim; so Absalom invited all the king's sons.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:24 @ Then Absalom came to the king and said, "Kindly note, your servant has sheepshearers; please, let the king and his servants go with your servant."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:25 @ But the king said to Absalom, "No, my son, let us not all go now, lest we be a burden to you." Then he urged him, but he would not go; and he blessed him.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:26 @ Then Absalom said, "If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us." And the king said to him, "Why should he go with you?"

nkjv@2Samuel:13:28 @ Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, "Watch now, when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, "Strike Amnon!' then kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and valiant."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:29 @ So the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and each one got on his mule and fled.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:30 @ And it came to pass, while they were on the way, that news came to David, saying, "Absalom has killed all the king's sons, and not one of them is left!"

nkjv@2Samuel:13:33 @ Now therefore, let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead. For only Amnon is dead."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:35 @ And Jonadab said to the king, "Look, the king's sons are coming; as your servant said, so it is."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:37 @ But Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:38 @ So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:39 @ And King David longed to go to Absalom. For he had been comforted concerning Amnon, because he was dead.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:2 @ And Joab sent to Tekoa and brought from there a wise woman, and said to her, "Please pretend to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel; do not anoint yourself with oil, but act like a woman who has been mourning a long time for the dead.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:3 @ Go to the king and speak to him in this manner." So Joab put the words in her mouth.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:4 @ And when the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground and prostrated herself, and said, "Help, O king!"

nkjv@2Samuel:14:5 @ Then the king said to her, "What troubles you?" And she answered, "Indeed I am a widow, my husband is dead.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:6 @ Now your maidservant had two sons; and the two fought with each other in the field, and there was no one to part them, but the one struck the other and killed him.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:7 @ And now the whole family has risen up against your maidservant, and they said, "Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may execute him for the life of his brother whom he killed; and we will destroy the heir also.' So they would extinguish my ember that is left, and leave to my husband neither name nor remnant on the earth."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:8 @ Then the king said to the woman, "Go to your house, and I will give orders concerning you."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:9 @ And the woman of Tekoa said to the king, "My lord, O king, let the iniquity be on me and on my father's house, and the king and his throne be guiltless."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:10 @ So the king said, "Whoever says anything to you, bring him to me, and he shall not touch you anymore."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:11 @ Then she said, "Please let the king remember the LORD your God, and do not permit the avenger of blood to destroy anymore, lest they destroy my son." And he said, "As the LORD lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the ground."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:12 @ Therefore the woman said, "Please, let your maidservant speak another word to my lord the king." And he said, "Say on."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:15 @ Now therefore, I have come to speak of this thing to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid. And your maidservant said, "I will now speak to the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his maidservant.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:18 @ Then the king answered and said to the woman, "Please do not hide from me anything that I ask you." And the woman said, "Please, let my lord the king speak."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:19 @ So the king said, "Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?" And the woman answered and said, "As you live, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right hand or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken. For your servant Joab commanded me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your maidservant.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:20 @ To bring about this change of affairs your servant Joab has done this thing; but my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of the angel of God, to know everything that is in the earth."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:21 @ And the king said to Joab, "All right, I have granted this thing. Go therefore, bring back the young man Absalom."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:22 @ Then Joab fell to the ground on his face and bowed himself, and thanked the king. And Joab said, "Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord, O king, in that the king has fulfilled the request of his servant."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:23 @ So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:24 @ And the king said, "Let him return to his own house, but do not let him see my face." So Absalom returned to his own house, but did not see the king's face.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:25 @ Now in all Israel there was no one who was praised as much as Absalom for his good looks. From the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:26 @ And when he cut the hair of his head--at the end of every year he cut it because it was heavy on him--when he cut it, he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels according to the king's standard.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:27 @ To Absalom were born three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar. She was a woman of beautiful appearance.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:29 @ Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but he would not come to him. And when he sent again the second time, he would not come.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:30 @ So he said to his servants, "See, Joab's field is near mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire." And Absalom's servants set the field on fire.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:31 @ Then Joab arose and came to Absalom's house, and said to him, "Why have your servants set my field on fire?"

nkjv@2Samuel:14:32 @ And Absalom answered Joab, "Look, I sent to you, saying, "Come here, so that I may send you to the king, to say, "Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still."' Now therefore, let me see the king's face; but if there is iniquity in me, let him execute me."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:33 @ So Joab went to the king and told him. And when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king. Then the king kissed Absalom.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:1 @ After this it happened that Absalom provided himself with chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:2 @ Now Absalom would rise early and stand beside the way to the gate. So it was, whenever anyone who had a lawsuit came to the king for a decision, that Absalom would call to him and say, "What city are you from?" And he would say, "Your servant is from such and such a tribe of Israel."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:3 @ Then Absalom would say to him, "Look, your case is good and right; but there is no deputy of the king to hear you."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:4 @ Moreover Absalom would say, "Oh, that I were made judge in the land, and everyone who has any suit or cause would come to me; then I would give him justice."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:5 @ And so it was, whenever anyone came near to bow down to him, that he would put out his hand and take him and kiss him.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:6 @ In this manner Absalom acted toward all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:7 @ Now it came to pass after forty years that Absalom said to the king, "Please, let me go to Hebron and pay the vow which I made to the LORD.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:8 @ For your servant took a vow while I dwelt at Geshur in Syria, saying, "If the LORD indeed brings me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD."'

nkjv@2Samuel:15:9 @ And the king said to him, "Go in peace." So he arose and went to Hebron.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:13 @ Now a messenger came to David, saying, "The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:14 @ So David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee, or we shall not escape from Absalom. Make haste to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly and bring disaster upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:15 @ And the king's servants said to the king, "We are your servants, ready to do whatever my lord the king commands."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:16 @ Then the king went out with all his household after him. But the king left ten women, concubines, to keep the house.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:19 @ Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, "Why are you also going with us? Return and remain with the king. For you are a foreigner and also an exile from your own place.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:22 @ So David said to Ittai, "Go, and cross over." Then Ittai the Gittite and all his men and all the little ones who were with him crossed over.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:25 @ Then the king said to Zadok, "Carry the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, He will bring me back and show me both it and His dwelling place.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:26 @ But if He says thus: "I have no delight in you,' here I am, let Him do to me as seems good to Him."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:27 @ The king also said to Zadok the priest, "Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:28 @ See, I will wait in the plains of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:29 @ Therefore Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark of God back to Jerusalem. And they remained there.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:32 @ Now it happened when David had come to the top of the mountain, where he worshiped God--there was Hushai the Archite coming to meet him with his robe torn and dust on his head.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:33 @ David said to him, "If you go on with me, then you will become a burden to me.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:34 @ But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, "I will be your servant, O king; as I was your father's servant previously, so I will now also be your servant,' then you may defeat the counsel of Ahithophel for me.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:35 @ And do you not have Zadok and Abiathar the priests with you there? Therefore it will be that whatever you hear from the king's house, you shall tell to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:2 @ And the king said to Ziba, "What do you mean to do with these?" So Ziba said, "The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine for those who are faint in the wilderness to drink."

nkjv@2Samuel:16:3 @ Then the king said, "And where is your master's son?" And Ziba said to the king, "Indeed he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, "Today the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me."'

nkjv@2Samuel:16:4 @ So the king said to Ziba, "Here, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours." And Ziba said, "I humbly bow before you, that I may find favor in your sight, my lord, O king!"

nkjv@2Samuel:16:5 @ Now when King David came to Bahurim, there was a man from the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei the son of Gera, coming from there. He came out, cursing continuously as he came.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:9 @ Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please, let me go over and take off his head!"

nkjv@2Samuel:16:10 @ But the king said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? So let him curse, because the LORD has said to him, "Curse David.' Who then shall say, "Why have you done so?"'

nkjv@2Samuel:16:11 @ And David said to Abishai and all his servants, "See how my son who came from my own body seeks my life. How much more now may this Benjamite? Let him alone, and let him curse; for so the LORD has ordered him.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:15 @ Meanwhile Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem; and Ahithophel was with him.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:16 @ And so it was, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, "Long live the king! Long live the king!"

nkjv@2Samuel:16:17 @ So Absalom said to Hushai, "Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?"

nkjv@2Samuel:16:18 @ And Hushai said to Absalom, "No, but whom the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel choose, his I will be, and with him I will remain.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:7 @ So Hushai said to Absalom: "The advice that Ahithophel has given is not good at this time.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:11 @ Therefore I advise that all Israel be fully gathered to you, from Dan to Beersheba, like the sand that is by the sea for multitude, and that you go to battle in person.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:13 @ Moreover, if he has withdrawn into a city, then all Israel shall bring ropes to that city; and we will pull it into the river, until there is not one small stone found there."

nkjv@2Samuel:17:14 @ So Absalom and all the men of Israel said, "The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than the advice of Ahithophel." For the LORD had purposed to defeat the good advice of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring disaster on Absalom.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:22 @ And Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said again to Joab, "But whatever happens, please let me also run after the Cushite." So Joab said, "Why will you run, my son, since you have no news ready?"

nkjv@2Samuel:18:23 @ "But whatever happens," he said, "let me run." So he said to him, "Run." Then Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain, and outran the Cushite.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:24 @ Now David was sitting between the two gates. And the watchman went up to the roof over the gate, to the wall, lifted his eyes and looked, and there was a man, running alone.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:26 @ Then the watchman saw another man running, and the watchman called to the gatekeeper and said, "There is another man, running alone!" And the king said, "He also brings news."

nkjv@2Samuel:18:28 @ So Ahimaaz called out and said to the king, "All is well!" Then he bowed down with his face to the earth before the king, and said, "Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who raised their hand against my lord the king!"

nkjv@2Samuel:18:32 @ And the king said to the Cushite, "Is the young man Absalom safe?" So the Cushite answered, "May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise against you to do harm, be like that young man!"

nkjv@2Samuel:18:33 @ Then the king was deeply moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept. And as he went, he said thus: "O my son Absalom--my son, my son Absalom--if only I had died in your place! O Absalom my son, my son!"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:5 @ Then Joab came into the house to the king, and said, "Today you have disgraced all your servants who today have saved your life, the lives of your sons and daughters, the lives of your wives and the lives of your concubines,

nkjv@2Samuel:19:7 @ Now therefore, arise, go out and speak comfort to your servants. For I swear by the LORD, if you do not go out, not one will stay with you this night. And that will be worse for you than all the evil that has befallen you from your youth until now."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:8 @ Then the king arose and sat in the gate. And they told all the people, saying, "There is the king, sitting in the gate." So all the people came before the king. For everyone of Israel had fled to his tent.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:11 @ So King David sent to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, saying, "Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, "Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the words of all Israel have come to the king, to his very house?

nkjv@2Samuel:19:12 @ You are my brethren, you are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?'

nkjv@2Samuel:19:13 @ And say to Amasa, "Are you not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if you are not commander of the army before me continually in place of Joab."'

nkjv@2Samuel:19:14 @ So he swayed the hearts of all the men of Judah, just as the heart of one man, so that they sent this word to the king: "Return, you and all your servants!"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:15 @ Then the king returned and came to the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to escort the king across the Jordan.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:16 @ And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, who was from Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet King David.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:18 @ Then a ferryboat went across to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. Now Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king when he had crossed the Jordan.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:19 @ Then he said to the king, "Do not let my lord impute iniquity to me, or remember what wrong your servant did on the day that my lord the king left Jerusalem, that the king should take it to heart.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:20 @ For I, your servant, know that I have sinned. Therefore here I am, the first to come today of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:21 @ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, "Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD's anointed?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:22 @ And David said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be adversaries to me today? Shall any man be put to death today in Israel? For do I not know that today I am king over Israel?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:23 @ Therefore the king said to Shimei, "You shall not die." And the king swore to him.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:24 @ Now Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king. And he had not cared for his feet, nor trimmed his mustache, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he returned in peace.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:25 @ So it was, when he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, "Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:26 @ And he answered, "My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, "I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go to the king,' because your servant is lame.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:27 @ And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king, but my lord the king is like the angel of God. Therefore do what is good in your eyes.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:28 @ For all my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king. Yet you set your servant among those who eat at your own table. Therefore what right have I still to cry out anymore to the king?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:29 @ So the king said to him, "Why do you speak anymore of your matters? I have said, "You and Ziba divide the land."'

nkjv@2Samuel:19:30 @ Then Mephibosheth said to the king, "Rather, let him take it all, inasmuch as my lord the king has come back in peace to his own house."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:31 @ And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim and went across the Jordan with the king, to escort him across the Jordan.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:33 @ And the king said to Barzillai, "Come across with me, and I will provide for you while you are with me in Jerusalem."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:34 @ But Barzillai said to the king, "How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

nkjv@2Samuel:19:35 @ I am today eighty years old. Can I discern between the good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any longer the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be a further burden to my lord the king?

nkjv@2Samuel:19:37 @ Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, near the grave of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham; let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what seems good to you."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:38 @ And the king answered, "Chimham shall cross over with me, and I will do for him what seems good to you. Now whatever you request of me, I will do for you."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:39 @ Then all the people went over the Jordan. And when the king had crossed over, the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and he returned to his own place.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:40 @ Now the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him. And all the people of Judah escorted the king, and also half the people of Israel.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:41 @ Just then all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, "Why have our brethren, the men of Judah, stolen you away and brought the king, his household, and all David's men with him across the Jordan?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:43 @ And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, "We have ten shares in the king; therefore we also have more right to David than you. Why then do you despise us--were we not the first to advise bringing back our king?" Yet the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:1 @ And there happened to be there a rebel, whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite. And he blew a trumpet, and said: "We have no share in David, Nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse; Every man to his tents, O Israel!"

nkjv@2Samuel:20:2 @ So every man of Israel deserted David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri. But the men of Judah, from the Jordan as far as Jerusalem, remained loyal to their king.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:3 @ Now David came to his house at Jerusalem. And the king took the ten women, his concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in seclusion and supported them, but did not go in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:4 @ And the king said to Amasa, "Assemble the men of Judah for me within three days, and be present here yourself."

nkjv@2Samuel:20:5 @ So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah. But he delayed longer than the set time which David had appointed him.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:6 @ And David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom. Take your lord's servants and pursue him, lest he find for himself fortified cities, and escape us."

nkjv@2Samuel:20:7 @ So Joab's men, with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men, went out after him. And they went out of Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:9 @ Then Joab said to Amasa, "Are you in health, my brother?" And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:12 @ But Amasa wallowed in his blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he moved Amasa from the highway to the field and threw a garment over him, when he saw that everyone who came upon him halted.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:13 @ When he was removed from the highway, all the people went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:14 @ And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel and Beth Maachah and all the Berites. So they were gathered together and also went after Sheba.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:15 @ Then they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maachah; and they cast up a siege mound against the city, and it stood by the rampart. And all the people who were with Joab battered the wall to throw it down.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:16 @ Then a wise woman cried out from the city, "Hear, hear! Please say to Joab, "Come nearby, that I may speak with you."'

nkjv@2Samuel:20:17 @ When he had come near to her, the woman said, "Are you Joab?" He answered, "I am." Then she said to him, "Hear the words of your maidservant." And he answered, "I am listening."

nkjv@2Samuel:20:18 @ So she spoke, saying, "They used to talk in former times, saying, "They shall surely seek guidance at Abel,' and so they would end disputes.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:19 @ I am among the peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why would you swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?"

nkjv@2Samuel:20:21 @ That is not so. But a man from the mountains of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has raised his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city." So the woman said to Joab, "Watch, his head will be thrown to you over the wall."

nkjv@2Samuel:20:22 @ Then the woman in her wisdom went to all the people. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. Then he blew a trumpet, and they withdrew from the city, every man to his tent. So Joab returned to the king at Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:2 @ So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; the children of Israel had sworn protection to them, but Saul had sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:3 @ Therefore David said to the Gibeonites, "What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?"

nkjv@2Samuel:21:4 @ And the Gibeonites said to him, "We will have no silver or gold from Saul or from his house, nor shall you kill any man in Israel for us." So he said, "Whatever you say, I will do for you."

nkjv@2Samuel:21:6 @ let seven men of his descendants be delivered to us, and we will hang them before the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD chose." And the king said, "I will give them."

nkjv@2Samuel:21:8 @ So the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite;

nkjv@2Samuel:21:9 @ and he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before the LORD. So they fell, all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:10 @ Now Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until the late rains poured on them from heaven. And she did not allow the birds of the air to rest on them by day nor the beasts of the field by night.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:17 @ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, "You shall go out no more with us to battle, lest you quench the lamp of Israel."

nkjv@2Samuel:21:20 @ Yet again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also was born to the giant.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:22 @ These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

nkjv@2Samuel:22:1 @ Then David spoke to the LORD the words of this song, on the day when the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul.

nkjv@2Samuel:22:4 @ I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.

nkjv@2Samuel:22:7 @ In my distress I called upon the LORD, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry entered His ears.

nkjv@2Samuel:22:21 @ "The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.

nkjv@2Samuel:22:42 @ They looked, but there was none to save; Even to the LORD, but He did not answer them.

nkjv@2Samuel:22:45 @ The foreigners submit to me; As soon as they hear, they obey me.

nkjv@2Samuel:22:50 @ Therefore I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the Gentiles, And sing praises to Your name.

nkjv@2Samuel:22:51 @...mercy to His anointed, To David...

nkjv@2Samuel:23:3 @ The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me: "He who rules over men must be just, Ruling in the fear of God.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:10 @ He arose and attacked the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand stuck to the sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to plunder.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:13 @ Then three of the thirty chief men went down at harvest time and came to David at the cave of Adullam. And the troop of Philistines encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:16 @ So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:19 @ Was he not the most honored of three? Therefore he became their captain. However, he did not attain to the first three.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:21 @ And he killed an Egyptian, a spectacular man. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand; so he went down to him with a staff, wrested the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:23 @ He was more honored than the thirty, but he did not attain to the first three. And David appointed him over his guard.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:1 @ Again the anger of the LORD was aroused against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, "Go, number Israel and Judah."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:2 @ So the king said to Joab the commander of the army who was with him, "Now go throughout all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and count the people, that I may know the number of the people."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:3 @ And Joab said to the king, "Now may the LORD your God add to the people a hundred times more than there are, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king desire this thing?"

nkjv@2Samuel:24:4 @ Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab and against the captains of the army. Therefore Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:6 @ Then they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; they came to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon;

nkjv@2Samuel:24:7 @ and they came to the stronghold of Tyre and to all the cities of the Hivites and the Canaanites. Then they went out to South Judah as far as Beersheba.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:8 @ So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:9 @ Then Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to the king. And there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:10 @ And David's heart condemned him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the LORD, "I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, I pray, O LORD, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:11 @ Now when David arose in the morning, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

nkjv@2Samuel:24:12 @ "Go and tell David, "Thus says the LORD: "I offer you three things; choose one of them for yourself, that I may do it to you.""'

nkjv@2Samuel:24:13 @ So Gad came to David and told him; and he said to him, "Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or shall you flee three months before your enemies, while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days' plague in your land? Now consider and see what answer I should take back to Him who sent me."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:14 @ And David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Please let us fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:15 @ So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel from the morning till the appointed time. From Dan to Beersheba seventy thousand men of the people died.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:16 @ And when the angel stretched out His hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented from the destruction, and said to the angel who was destroying the people, "It is enough; now restrain your hand." And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:17 @ Then David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who was striking the people, and said, "Surely I have sinned, and I have done wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, be against me and against my father's house."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:20 @ Now Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming toward him. So Araunah went out and bowed before the king with his face to the ground.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:21 @ Then Araunah said, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" And David said, "To buy the threshing floor from you, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be withdrawn from the people."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:22 @ Now Araunah said to David, "Let my lord the king take and offer up whatever seems good to him. Look, here are oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing implements and the yokes of the oxen for wood.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:23 @ All these, O king, Araunah has given to the king." And Araunah said to the king, "May the LORD your God accept you."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:24 @ Then the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God with that which costs me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:25 @ And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD heeded the prayers for the land, and the plague was withdrawn from Israel.

nkjv@1Kings:2:18 @ So Bathsheba said, "Very well, I will speak for you to the king."

nkjv@1Kings:2:19 @ Bathsheba therefore went to King Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her and bowed down to her, and sat down on his throne and had a throne set for the king's mother; so she sat at his right hand.

nkjv@1Kings:2:20 @ Then she said, "I desire one small petition of you; do not refuse me." And the king said to her, "Ask it, my mother, for I will not refuse you."

nkjv@1Kings:2:21 @ So she said, "Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as wife."

nkjv@1Kings:2:22 @ And King Solomon answered and said to his mother, "Now why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also--for he is my older brother--for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah."

nkjv@1Kings:2:23 @ Then King Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, "May God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life!

nkjv@1Kings:2:24 @ Now therefore, as the LORD lives, who has confirmed me and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has established a house for me, as He promised, Adonijah shall be put to death today!"

nkjv@1Kings:2:26 @ And to Abiathar the priest the king said, "Go to Anathoth, to your own fields, for you are deserving of death; but I will not put you to death at this time, because you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and because you were afflicted every time my father was afflicted."

nkjv@1Kings:2:27 @ So Solomon removed Abiathar from being priest to the LORD, that he might fulfill the word of the LORD which He spoke concerning the house of Eli at Shiloh.

nkjv@1Kings:2:28 @ Then news came to Joab, for Joab had defected to Adonijah, though he had not defected to Absalom. So Joab fled to the tabernacle of the LORD, and took hold of the horns of the altar.

nkjv@1Kings:2:29 @ And King Solomon was told, "Joab has fled to the tabernacle of the LORD; there he is, by the altar." Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, "Go, strike him down."

nkjv@1Kings:2:30 @ So Benaiah went to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said to him, "Thus says the king, "Come out!"' And he said, "No, but I will die here." And Benaiah brought back word to the king, saying, "Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me."

nkjv@1Kings:2:31 @ Then the king said to him, "Do as he has said, and strike him down and bury him, that you may take away from me and from the house of my father the innocent blood which Joab shed.

nkjv@1Kings:2:36 @ Then the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, "Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and dwell there, and do not go out from there anywhere.

nkjv@1Kings:2:38 @ And Shimei said to the king, "The saying is good. As my lord the king has said, so your servant will do." So Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

nkjv@1Kings:2:39 @ Now it happened at the end of three years, that two slaves of Shimei ran away to Achish the son of Maachah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, "Look, your slaves are in Gath!"

nkjv@1Kings:2:40 @ So Shimei arose, saddled his donkey, and went to Achish at Gath to seek his slaves. And Shimei went and brought his slaves from Gath.

nkjv@1Kings:2:41 @ And Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had come back.

nkjv@1Kings:2:42 @ Then the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, "Did I not make you swear by the LORD, and warn you, saying, "Know for certain that on the day you go out and travel anywhere, you shall surely die'? And you said to me, "The word I have heard is good.'

nkjv@1Kings:2:44 @ The king said moreover to Shimei, "You know, as your heart acknowledges, all the wickedness that you did to my father David; therefore the LORD will return your wickedness on your own head.

nkjv@1Kings:3:1 @ Now Solomon made a treaty with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and married Pharaoh's daughter; then he brought her to the City of David until he had finished building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall all around Jerusalem.

nkjv@1Kings:3:4 @ Now the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place: Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.

nkjv@1Kings:3:5 @ At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask! What shall I give you?"

nkjv@1Kings:3:6 @ And Solomon said: "You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he walked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this great kindness for him, and You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

nkjv@1Kings:3:7 @ Now, O LORD my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in.

nkjv@1Kings:3:8 @ And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted.

nkjv@1Kings:3:9 @ Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?"

nkjv@1Kings:3:11 @ Then God said to him: "Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice,

nkjv@1Kings:3:12 @ behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you.

nkjv@1Kings:3:14 @ So if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days."

nkjv@1Kings:3:15 @ Then Solomon awoke; and indeed it had been a dream. And he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.

nkjv@1Kings:3:16 @ Now two women who were harlots came to the king, and stood before him.

nkjv@1Kings:3:21 @ And when I rose in the morning to nurse my son, there he was, dead. But when I had examined him in the morning, indeed, he was not my son whom I had borne."

nkjv@1Kings:3:25 @ And the king said, "Divide the living child in two, and give half to one, and half to the other."

nkjv@1Kings:3:26 @ Then the woman whose son was living spoke to the king, for she yearned with compassion for her son; and she said, "O my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him!" But the other said, "Let him be neither mine nor yours, but divide him."

nkjv@1Kings:3:28 @ And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had rendered; and they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice.

nkjv@1Kings:4:10 @ Ben-Hesed, in Arubboth; to him belonged Sochoh and all the land of Hepher;

nkjv@1Kings:4:12 @ Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach, Megiddo, and all Beth Shean, which is beside Zaretan below Jezreel, from Beth Shean to Abel Meholah, as far as the other side of Jokneam;

nkjv@1Kings:4:13 @ Ben-Geber, in Ramoth Gilead; to him belonged the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, in Gilead; to him also belonged the region of Argob in Bashan--sixty large cities with walls and bronze gate-bars;

nkjv@1Kings:4:21 @ So Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.

nkjv@1Kings:4:24 @ For he had dominion over all the region on this side of the River from Tiphsah even to Gaza, namely over all the kings on this side of the River; and he had peace on every side all around him.

nkjv@1Kings:4:27 @ And these governors, each man in his month, provided food for King Solomon and for all who came to King Solomon's table. There was no lack in their supply.

nkjv@1Kings:4:28 @ They also brought barley and straw to the proper place, for the horses and steeds, each man according to his charge.

nkjv@1Kings:4:33 @ Also he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree of Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of animals, of birds, of creeping things, and of fish.

nkjv@1Kings:4:34 @ And men of all nations, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom, came to hear the wisdom of Solomon.

nkjv@1Kings:5:1 @ Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, because he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father, for Hiram had always loved David.

nkjv@1Kings:5:2 @ Then Solomon sent to Hiram, saying:

nkjv@1Kings:5:5 @ And behold, I propose to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to my father David, saying, "Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build the house for My name."

nkjv@1Kings:5:6 @ Now therefore, command that they cut down cedars for me from Lebanon; and my servants will be with your servants, and I will pay you wages for your servants according to whatever you say. For you know there is none among us who has skill to cut timber like the Sidonians.

nkjv@1Kings:5:8 @ Then Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: 4 I have considered the message which you sent me, and I will do all you desire concerning the cedar and cypress logs.

nkjv@1Kings:5:9 @ My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea; I will float them in rafts by sea to the place you indicate to me, and will have them broken apart there; then you can take them away. And you shall fulfill my desire by giving food for my household.

nkjv@1Kings:5:10 @ Then Hiram gave Solomon cedar and cypress logs according to all his desire.

nkjv@1Kings:5:11 @ And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand kors of wheat as food for his household, and twenty kors of pressed oil. Thus Solomon gave to Hiram year by year.

nkjv@1Kings:5:14 @ And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month in shifts: they were one month in Lebanon and two months at home; Adoniram was in charge of the labor force.

nkjv@1Kings:5:17 @ And the king commanded them to quarry large stones, costly stones, and hewn stones, to lay the foundation of the temple.

nkjv@1Kings:5:18 @ So Solomon's builders, Hiram's builders, and the Gebalites quarried them; and they prepared timber and stones to build the temple.

nkjv@1Kings:6:1 @ And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

nkjv@1Kings:6:8 @ The doorway for the middle story was on the right side of the temple. They went up by stairs to the middle story, and from the middle to the third.

nkjv@1Kings:6:10 @ And he built side chambers against the entire temple, each five cubits high; they were attached to the temple with cedar beams.

nkjv@1Kings:6:11 @ Then the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying:

nkjv@1Kings:6:12 @ "Concerning this temple which you are building, if you walk in My statutes, execute My judgments, keep all My commandments, and walk in them, then I will perform My word with you, which I spoke to your father David.

nkjv@1Kings:6:15 @ And he built the inside walls of the temple with cedar boards; from the floor of the temple to the ceiling he paneled the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the temple with planks of cypress.

nkjv@1Kings:6:16 @ Then he built the twenty-cubit room at the rear of the temple, from floor to ceiling, with cedar boards; he built it inside as the inner sanctuary, as the Most Holy Place.

nkjv@1Kings:6:18 @ The inside of the temple was cedar, carved with ornamental buds and open flowers. All was cedar; there was no stone to be seen.

nkjv@1Kings:6:19 @ And he prepared the inner sanctuary inside the temple, to set the ark of the covenant of the LORD there.

nkjv@1Kings:6:24 @ One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub five cubits: ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other.

nkjv@1Kings:6:38 @ And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished in all its details and according to all its plans. So he was seven years in building it.

nkjv@1Kings:7:1 @ But Solomon took thirteen years to build his own house; so he finished all his house.

nkjv@1Kings:7:3 @ And it was paneled with cedar above the beams that were on forty-five pillars, fifteen to a row.

nkjv@1Kings:7:7 @ Then he made a hall for the throne, the Hall of Judgment, where he might judge; and it was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling.

nkjv@1Kings:7:9 @ All these were of costly stones cut to size, trimmed with saws, inside and out, from the foundation to the eaves, and also on the outside to the great court.

nkjv@1Kings:7:11 @ And above were costly stones, hewn to size, and cedar wood.

nkjv@1Kings:7:14 @ He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a bronze worker; he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill in working with all kinds of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and did all his work.

nkjv@1Kings:7:16 @ Then he made two capitals of cast bronze, to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.

nkjv@1Kings:7:18 @ So he made the pillars, and two rows of pomegranates above the network all around to cover the capitals that were on top; and thus he did for the other capital.

nkjv@1Kings:7:20 @ The capitals on the two pillars also had pomegranates above, by the convex surface which was next to the network; and there were two hundred such pomegranates in rows on each of the capitals all around.

nkjv@1Kings:7:23 @ And he made the Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.

nkjv@1Kings:7:24 @ Below its brim were ornamental buds encircling it all around, ten to a cubit, all the way around the Sea. The ornamental buds were cast in two rows when it was cast.

nkjv@1Kings:7:32 @ Under the panels were the four wheels, and the axles of the wheels were joined to the cart. The height of a wheel was one and a half cubits.

nkjv@1Kings:7:40 @ Huram made the lavers and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing all the work that he was to do for King Solomon for the house of the LORD:

nkjv@1Kings:7:42 @ four hundred pomegranates for the two networks (two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the pillars);

nkjv@1Kings:8:1 @ Now Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the City of David, which is Zion.

nkjv@1Kings:8:6 @ Then the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the Most Holy Place, under the wings of the cherubim.

nkjv@1Kings:8:8 @ The poles extended so that the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place, in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And they are there to this day.

nkjv@1Kings:8:10 @ And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,

nkjv@1Kings:8:13 @ I have surely built You an exalted house, And a place for You to dwell in forever."

nkjv@1Kings:8:15 @ And he said: "Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father David, and with His hand has fulfilled it, saying,

nkjv@1Kings:8:16 @ "Since the day that I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that My name might be there; but I chose David to be over My people Israel.'

nkjv@1Kings:8:17 @ Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a temple for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@1Kings:8:18 @ But the LORD said to my father David, "Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.

nkjv@1Kings:8:25 @ Therefore, LORD God of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, "You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.'

nkjv@1Kings:8:26 @ And now I pray, O God of Israel, let Your word come true, which You have spoken to Your servant David my father.

nkjv@1Kings:8:28 @ Yet regard the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O LORD my God, and listen to the cry and the prayer which Your servant is praying before You today:

nkjv@1Kings:8:31 @ "When anyone sins against his neighbor, and is forced to take an oath, and comes and takes an oath before Your altar in this temple,

nkjv@1Kings:8:32 @ then hear in heaven, and act, and judge Your servants, condemning the wicked, bringing his way on his head, and justifying the righteous by giving him according to his righteousness.

nkjv@1Kings:8:33 @ "When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and when they turn back to You and confess Your name, and pray and make supplication to You in this temple,

nkjv@1Kings:8:34 @ then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You gave to their fathers.

nkjv@1Kings:8:36 @ then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance.

nkjv@1Kings:8:39 @ then hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for You alone know the hearts of all the sons of men),

nkjv@1Kings:8:40 @ that they may fear You all the days that they live in the land which You gave to our fathers.

nkjv@1Kings:8:43 @ hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this temple which I have built is called by Your name.

nkjv@1Kings:8:44 @ "When Your people go out to battle against their enemy, wherever You send them, and when they pray to the LORD toward the city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name,

nkjv@1Kings:8:46 @ "When they sin against You (for there is no one who does not sin), and You become angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, and they take them captive to the land of the enemy, far or near;

nkjv@1Kings:8:47 @ yet when they come to themselves in the land where they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication to You in the land of those who took them captive, saying, "We have sinned and done wrong, we have committed wickedness';

nkjv@1Kings:8:48 @ and when they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and pray to You toward their land which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name:

nkjv@1Kings:8:52 @ that Your eyes may be open to the supplication of Your servant and the supplication of Your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they call to You.

nkjv@1Kings:8:53 @ For You separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be Your inheritance, as You spoke by Your servant Moses, when You brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD."

nkjv@1Kings:8:54 @ And so it was, when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, that he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.

nkjv@1Kings:8:56 @ "Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses.

nkjv@1Kings:8:61 @ Let your heart therefore be loyal to the LORD our God, to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day."

nkjv@1Kings:8:63 @ And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, twenty-two thousand bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.

nkjv@1Kings:8:64 @ On the same day the king consecrated the middle of the court that was in front of the house of the LORD; for there he offered burnt offerings, grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before the LORD was too small to receive the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.

nkjv@1Kings:8:65 @ At that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven more days--fourteen days.

nkjv@1Kings:8:66 @ On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the good that the LORD had done for His servant David, and for Israel His people.

nkjv@1Kings:9:1 @ And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he wanted to do,

nkjv@1Kings:9:2 @ that the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.

nkjv@1Kings:9:3 @ And the LORD said to him: "I have heard your prayer and your supplication that you have made before Me; I have consecrated this house which you have built to put My name there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.

nkjv@1Kings:9:4 @ Now if you walk before Me as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments,

nkjv@1Kings:9:5 @ then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, "You shall not fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.'

nkjv@1Kings:9:8 @ And as for this house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and will hiss, and say, "Why has the LORD done thus to this land and to this house?'

nkjv@1Kings:9:12 @ Then Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, but they did not please him.

nkjv@1Kings:9:13 @ So he said, "What kind of cities are these which you have given me, my brother?" And he called them the land of Cabul, as they are to this day.

nkjv@1Kings:9:15 @ And this is the reason for the labor force which King Solomon raised: to build the house of the LORD, his own house, the Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.

nkjv@1Kings:9:16 @ (Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer and burned it with fire, had killed the Canaanites who dwelt in the city, and had given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.)

nkjv@1Kings:9:19 @ all the storage cities that Solomon had, cities for his chariots and cities for his cavalry, and whatever Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

nkjv@1Kings:9:21 @ that is, their descendants who were left in the land after them, whom the children of Israel had not been able to destroy completely--from these Solomon raised forced labor, as it is to this day.

nkjv@1Kings:9:24 @ But Pharaoh's daughter came up from the City of David to her house which Solomon had built for her. Then he built the Millo.

nkjv@1Kings:9:27 @ Then Hiram sent his servants with the fleet, seamen who knew the sea, to work with the servants of Solomon.

nkjv@1Kings:9:28 @ And they went to Ophir, and acquired four hundred and twenty talents of gold from there, and brought it to King Solomon.

nkjv@1Kings:10:1 @ Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to test him with hard questions.

nkjv@1Kings:10:2 @ She came to Jerusalem with a very great retinue, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was in her heart.

nkjv@1Kings:10:3 @ So Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing so difficult for the king that he could not explain it to her.

nkjv@1Kings:10:5 @ the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the service of his waiters and their apparel, his cupbearers, and his entryway by which he went up to the house of the LORD, there was no more spirit in her.

nkjv@1Kings:10:6 @ Then she said to the king: "It was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom.

nkjv@1Kings:10:9 @ Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, setting you on the throne of Israel! Because the LORD has loved Israel forever, therefore He made you king, to do justice and righteousness."

nkjv@1Kings:10:10 @ Then she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, spices in great quantity, and precious stones. There never again came such abundance of spices as the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

nkjv@1Kings:10:12 @ And the king made steps of the almug wood for the house of the LORD and for the king's house, also harps and stringed instruments for singers. There never again came such almug wood, nor has the like been seen to this day.

nkjv@1Kings:10:13 @ Now King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired, whatever she asked, besides what Solomon had given her according to the royal generosity. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.

nkjv@1Kings:10:14 @ The weight of gold that came to Solomon yearly was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,

nkjv@1Kings:10:24 @ Now all the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

nkjv@1Kings:10:29 @ Now a chariot that was imported from Egypt cost six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse one hundred and fifty; and thus, through their agents, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.

nkjv@1Kings:11:2 @ from the nations of whom the LORD had said to the children of Israel, "You shall not intermarry with them, nor they with you. Surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods." Solomon clung to these in love.

nkjv@1Kings:11:4 @ For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the LORD his God, as was the heart of his father David.

nkjv@1Kings:11:8 @ And he did likewise for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

nkjv@1Kings:11:9 @ So the LORD became angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned from the LORD God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

nkjv@1Kings:11:11 @ Therefore the LORD said to Solomon, "Because you have done this, and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.

nkjv@1Kings:11:13 @ However I will not tear away the whole kingdom; I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem which I have chosen."

nkjv@1Kings:11:15 @ For it happened, when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army had gone up to bury the slain, after he had killed every male in Edom

nkjv@1Kings:11:17 @ that Hadad fled to go to Egypt, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him. Hadad was still a little child.

nkjv@1Kings:11:18 @ Then they arose from Midian and came to Paran; and they took men with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, apportioned food for him, and gave him land.

nkjv@1Kings:11:21 @ So when Hadad heard in Egypt that David rested with his fathers, and that Joab the commander of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, "Let me depart, that I may go to my own country."

nkjv@1Kings:11:22 @ Then Pharaoh said to him, "But what have you lacked with me, that suddenly you seek to go to your own country?" So he answered, "Nothing, but do let me go anyway."

nkjv@1Kings:19:21 @ So Elisha turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them and boiled their flesh, using the oxen's equipment, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah, and became his servant.

nkjv@1Kings:20:2 @ Then he sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, and said to him, "Thus says Ben-Hadad:

nkjv@1Kings:20:5 @ Then the messengers came back and said, "Thus speaks Ben-Hadad, saying, "Indeed I have sent to you, saying, "You shall deliver to me your silver and your gold, your wives and your children";

nkjv@1Kings:20:6 @ but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house and the houses of your servants. And it shall be, that whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they will put it in their hands and take it."'

nkjv@1Kings:20:7 @ So the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, "Notice, please, and see how this man seeks trouble, for he sent to me for my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold; and I did not deny him."

nkjv@1Kings:20:8 @ And all the elders and all the people said to him, "Do not listen or consent."

nkjv@1Kings:20:9 @ Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, "Tell my lord the king, "All that you sent for to your servant the first time I will do, but this thing I cannot do."' And the messengers departed and brought back word to him.

nkjv@1Kings:20:10 @ Then Ben-Hadad sent to him and said, "The gods do so to me, and more also, if enough dust is left of Samaria for a handful for each of the people who follow me."

nkjv@1Kings:20:12 @ And it happened when Ben-Hadad heard this message, as he and the kings were drinking at the command post, that he said to his servants, "Get ready." And they got ready to attack the city.

nkjv@1Kings:20:22 @ And the prophet came to the king of Israel and said to him, "Go, strengthen yourself; take note, and see what you should do, for in the spring of the year the king of Syria will come up against you."

nkjv@1Kings:20:23 @ Then the servants of the king of Syria said to him, "Their gods are gods of the hills. Therefore they were stronger than we; but if we fight against them in the plain, surely we will be stronger than they.

nkjv@1Kings:20:25 @ and you shall muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot. Then we will fight against them in the plain; surely we will be stronger than they." And he listened to their voice and did so.

nkjv@1Kings:20:26 @ So it was, in the spring of the year, that Ben-Hadad mustered the Syrians and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.

nkjv@1Kings:20:28 @ Then a man of God came and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, "Thus says the LORD: "Because the Syrians have said, "The LORD is God of the hills, but He is not God of the valleys," therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD."'

nkjv@1Kings:20:30 @ But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; then a wall fell on twenty-seven thousand of the men who were left. And Ben-Hadad fled and went into the city, into an inner chamber.

nkjv@1Kings:20:31 @ Then his servants said to him, "Look now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please, let us put sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will spare your life."

nkjv@1Kings:20:32 @ So they wore sackcloth around their waists and put ropes around their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, "Your servant Ben-Hadad says, "Please let me live."' And he said, "Is he still alive? He is my brother."

nkjv@1Kings:20:33 @ Now the men were watching closely to see whether any sign of mercy would come from him; and they quickly grasped at this word and said, "Your brother Ben-Hadad." So he said, "Go, bring him." Then Ben-Hadad came out to him; and he had him come up into the chariot.

nkjv@1Kings:20:34 @ So Ben-Hadad said to him, "The cities which my father took from your father I will restore; and you may set up marketplaces for yourself in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria." Then Ahab said, "I will send you away with this treaty." So he made a treaty with him and sent him away.

nkjv@1Kings:20:35 @ Now a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor by the word of the LORD, "Strike me, please." And the man refused to strike him.

nkjv@1Kings:20:36 @ Then he said to him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, surely, as soon as you depart from me, a lion shall kill you." And as soon as he left him, a lion found him and killed him.

nkjv@1Kings:20:39 @ Now as the king passed by, he cried out to the king and said, "Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and there, a man came over and brought a man to me, and said, "Guard this man; if by any means he is missing, your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.'

nkjv@1Kings:20:40 @ While your servant was busy here and there, he was gone." Then the king of Israel said to him, "So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it."

nkjv@1Kings:20:41 @ And he hastened to take the bandage away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.

nkjv@1Kings:20:42 @ Then he said to him, "Thus says the LORD: "Because you have let slip out of your hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people."'

nkjv@1Kings:20:43 @ So the king of Israel went to his house sullen and displeased, and came to Samaria.

nkjv@1Kings:21:1 @ And it came to pass after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

nkjv@1Kings:21:2 @ So Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, "Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near, next to my house; and for it I will give you a vineyard better than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money."

nkjv@1Kings:21:3 @ But Naboth said to Ahab, "The LORD forbid that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!"

nkjv@1Kings:21:4 @ So Ahab went into his house sullen and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, "I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers." And he lay down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food.

nkjv@1Kings:21:5 @ But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, "Why is your spirit so sullen that you eat no food?"

nkjv@1Kings:21:6 @ He said to her, "Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, "Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.' And he answered, "I will not give you my vineyard."'

nkjv@1Kings:21:7 @ Then Jezebel his wife said to him, "You now exercise authority over Israel! Arise, eat food, and let your heart be cheerful; I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite."

nkjv@1Kings:21:8 @ And she wrote letters in Ahab's name, sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and the nobles who were dwelling in the city with Naboth.

nkjv@1Kings:21:10 @ and seat two men, scoundrels, before him to bear witness against him, saying, You have blasphemed God and the king. Then take him out, and stone him, that he may die.

nkjv@1Kings:21:11 @ So the men of his city, the elders and nobles who were inhabitants of his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.

nkjv@1Kings:21:14 @ Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, "Naboth has been stoned and is dead."

nkjv@1Kings:21:15 @ And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, "Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead."

nkjv@1Kings:21:16 @ So it was, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab got up and went down to take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

nkjv@1Kings:21:17 @ Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

nkjv@1Kings:21:18 @ "Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who lives in Samaria. There he is, in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.

nkjv@1Kings:21:20 @ So Ahab said to Elijah, "Have you found me, O my enemy?" And he answered, "I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the LORD:

nkjv@1Kings:21:22 @ I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, because of the provocation with which you have provoked Me to anger, and made Israel sin.'

nkjv@1Kings:21:25 @ But there was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do wickedness in the sight of the LORD, because Jezebel his wife stirred him up.

nkjv@1Kings:21:26 @ And he behaved very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites had done, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

nkjv@1Kings:21:28 @ And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

nkjv@1Kings:22:2 @ Then it came to pass, in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went down to visit the king of Israel.

nkjv@1Kings:22:4 @ So he said to Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to fight at Ramoth Gilead?" Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."

nkjv@1Kings:22:5 @ Also Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire for the word of the LORD today."

nkjv@1Kings:22:6 @ Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall I go against Ramoth Gilead to fight, or shall I refrain?" So they said, "Go up, for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king."

nkjv@1Kings:22:8 @ So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is still one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the LORD; but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil." And Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say such things!"

nkjv@1Kings:22:12 @ And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, "Go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper, for the LORD will deliver it into the king's hand."

nkjv@1Kings:22:13 @ Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, "Now listen, the words of the prophets with one accord encourage the king. Please, let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak encouragement."

nkjv@1Kings:22:14 @ And Micaiah said, "As the LORD lives, whatever the LORD says to me, that I will speak."

nkjv@1Kings:22:15 @ Then he came to the king; and the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall we refrain?" And he answered him, "Go and prosper, for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king!"

nkjv@1Kings:22:20 @ And the LORD said, "Who will persuade Ahab to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead?' So one spoke in this manner, and another spoke in that manner.

nkjv@1Kings:22:22 @ The LORD said to him, "In what way?' So he said, "I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' And the LORD said, "You shall persuade him, and also prevail. Go out and do so.'

nkjv@1Kings:22:24 @ Now Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, "Which way did the spirit from the LORD go from me to speak to you?"

nkjv@1Kings:22:25 @ And Micaiah said, "Indeed, you shall see on that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide!"

nkjv@1Kings:22:26 @ So the king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah, and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king's son;

nkjv@1Kings:22:32 @ So it was, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, "Surely it is the king of Israel!" Therefore they turned aside to fight against him, and Jehoshaphat cried out.

nkjv@1Kings:22:34 @ Now a certain man drew a bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So he said to the driver of his chariot, "Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am wounded."

nkjv@1Kings:22:36 @ Then, as the sun was going down, a shout went throughout the army, saying, "Every man to his city, and every man to his own country!"

nkjv@1Kings:22:38 @ Then someone washed the chariot at a pool in Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood while the harlots bathed, according to the word of the LORD which He had spoken.

nkjv@1Kings:22:48 @ Jehoshaphat made merchant ships to go to Ophir for gold; but they never sailed, for the ships were wrecked at Ezion Geber.

nkjv@2Kings:4:39 @ So one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered from it a lapful of wild gourds, and came and sliced them into the pot of stew, though they did not know what they were.

nkjv@2Kings:4:40 @ Then they served it to the men to eat. Now it happened, as they were eating the stew, that they cried out and said, "Man of God, there is death in the pot!" And they could not eat it.

nkjv@2Kings:4:41 @ So he said, "Then bring some flour." And he put it into the pot, and said, "Serve it to the people, that they may eat." And there was nothing harmful in the pot.

nkjv@2Kings:4:42 @ Then a man came from Baal Shalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley bread, and newly ripened grain in his knapsack. And he said, "Give it to the people, that they may eat."

nkjv@2Kings:4:43 @ But his servant said, "What? Shall I set this before one hundred men?" He said again, "Give it to the people, that they may eat; for thus says the LORD: "They shall eat and have some left over."'

nkjv@2Kings:4:44 @ So he set it before them; and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the LORD.

nkjv@2Kings:5:1 @ Now Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man in the eyes of his master, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria. He was also a mighty man of valor, but a leper.

nkjv@2Kings:5:3 @ Then she said to her mistress, "If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! For he would heal him of his leprosy."

nkjv@2Kings:5:5 @ Then the king of Syria said, "Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel." So he departed and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing.

nkjv@2Kings:5:6 @ Then he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which said, 4 Now be advised, when this letter comes to you, that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.

nkjv@2Kings:5:7 @ And it happened, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he tore his clothes and said, "Am I God, to kill and make alive, that this man sends a man to me to heal him of his leprosy? Therefore please consider, and see how he seeks a quarrel with me."

nkjv@2Kings:5:8 @ So it was, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, "Why have you torn your clothes? Please let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel."

nkjv@2Kings:5:10 @ And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, "Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean."

nkjv@2Kings:5:11 @ But Naaman became furious, and went away and said, "Indeed, I said to myself, "He will surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy.'

nkjv@2Kings:5:13 @ And his servants came near and spoke to him, and said, "My father, if the prophet had told you to do something great, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, "Wash, and be clean'?"

nkjv@2Kings:5:14 @ So he went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

nkjv@2Kings:5:15 @ And he returned to the man of God, he and all his aides, and came and stood before him; and he said, "Indeed, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel; now therefore, please take a gift from your servant."

nkjv@2Kings:5:16 @ But he said, "As the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will receive nothing." And he urged him to take it, but he refused.

nkjv@2Kings:5:17 @ So Naaman said, "Then, if not, please let your servant be given two mule-loads of earth; for your servant will no longer offer either burnt offering or sacrifice to other gods, but to the LORD.

nkjv@2Kings:5:18 @ Yet in this thing may the LORD pardon your servant: when my master goes into the temple of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow down in the temple of Rimmon--when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the LORD please pardon your servant in this thing."

nkjv@2Kings:5:22 @ And he said, "All is well. My master has sent me, saying, "Indeed, just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the mountains of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of garments."'

nkjv@2Kings:5:23 @ So Naaman said, "Please, take two talents." And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and handed them to two of his servants; and they carried them on ahead of him.

nkjv@2Kings:5:24 @ When he came to the citadel, he took them from their hand, and stored them away in the house; then he let the men go, and they departed.

nkjv@2Kings:5:25 @ Now he went in and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, "Where did you go, Gehazi?" And he said, "Your servant did not go anywhere."

nkjv@2Kings:5:26 @ Then he said to him, "Did not my heart go with you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? Is it time to receive money and to receive clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male and female servants?

nkjv@2Kings:5:27 @ Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and your descendants forever." And he went out from his presence leprous, as white as snow.

nkjv@2Kings:6:18 @ So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, "Strike this people, I pray, with blindness." And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

nkjv@2Kings:6:19 @ Now Elisha said to them, "This is not the way, nor is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek." But he led them to Samaria.

nkjv@2Kings:6:20 @ So it was, when they had come to Samaria, that Elisha said, "LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see." And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and there they were, inside Samaria!

nkjv@2Kings:6:21 @ Now when the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, "My father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?"

nkjv@2Kings:6:22 @ But he answered, "You shall not kill them. Would you kill those whom you have taken captive with your sword and your bow? Set food and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master."

nkjv@2Kings:6:23 @ Then he prepared a great feast for them; and after they ate and drank, he sent them away and they went to their master. So the bands of Syrian raiders came no more into the land of Israel.

nkjv@2Kings:6:33 @ And while he was still talking with them, there was the messenger, coming down to him; and then the king said, "Surely this calamity is from the LORD; why should I wait for the LORD any longer?"

nkjv@2Kings:7:5 @ And they rose at twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians; and when they had come to the outskirts of the Syrian camp, to their surprise no one was there.

nkjv@2Kings:7:6 @ For the LORD had caused the army of the Syrians to hear the noise of chariots and the noise of horses--the noise of a great army; so they said to one another, "Look, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us!"

nkjv@2Kings:7:8 @ And when these lepers came to the outskirts of the camp, they went into one tent and ate and drank, and carried from it silver and gold and clothing, and went and hid them; then they came back and entered another tent, and carried some from there also, and went and hid it.

nkjv@2Kings:7:9 @ Then they said to one another, "We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we remain silent. If we wait until morning light, some punishment will come upon us. Now therefore, come, let us go and tell the king's household."

nkjv@2Kings:7:10 @ So they went and called to the gatekeepers of the city, and told them, saying, "We went to the Syrian camp, and surprisingly no one was there, not a human sound--only horses and donkeys tied, and the tents intact."

nkjv@2Kings:7:11 @ And the gatekeepers called out, and they told it to the king's household inside.

nkjv@2Kings:7:12 @ So the king arose in the night and said to his servants, "Let me now tell you what the Syrians have done to us.

nkjv@2Kings:7:15 @ And they went after them to the Jordan; and indeed all the road was full of garments and weapons which the Syrians had thrown away in their haste. So the messengers returned and told the king.

nkjv@2Kings:7:16 @ Then the people went out and plundered the tents of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.

nkjv@2Kings:7:17 @ Now the king had appointed the officer on whose hand he leaned to have charge of the gate. But the people trampled him in the gate, and he died, just as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.

nkjv@2Kings:8:3 @ It came to pass, at the end of seven years, that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines; and she went to make an appeal to the king for her house and for her land.

nkjv@2Kings:8:5 @ Now it happened, as he was telling the king how he had restored the dead to life, that there was the woman whose son he had restored to life, appealing to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, "My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life."

nkjv@2Kings:8:7 @ Then Elisha went to Damascus, and Ben-Hadad king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, "The man of God has come here."

nkjv@2Kings:8:8 @ And the king said to Hazael, "Take a present in your hand, and go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, "Shall I recover from this disease?"'

nkjv@2Kings:8:9 @ So Hazael went to meet him and took a present with him, of every good thing of Damascus, forty camel-loads; and he came and stood before him, and said, "Your son Ben-Hadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, "Shall I recover from this disease?"'

nkjv@2Kings:8:10 @ And Elisha said to him, "Go, say to him, "You shall certainly recover.' However the LORD has shown me that he will really die."

nkjv@2Kings:8:12 @ And Hazael said, "Why is my lord weeping?" He answered, "Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel: Their strongholds you will set on fire, and their young men you will kill with the sword; and you will dash their children, and rip open their women with child."

nkjv@2Kings:8:14 @ Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, "What did Elisha say to you?" And he answered, "He told me you would surely recover."

nkjv@2Kings:8:16 @ Now in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoshaphat having been king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat began to reign as king of Judah.

nkjv@2Kings:8:19 @ Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah, for the sake of His servant David, as He promised him to give a lamp to him and his sons forever.

nkjv@2Kings:9:6 @ Then he arose and went into the house. And he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel: "I have anointed you king over the people of the LORD, over Israel.

nkjv@2Kings:22:20 @ Surely, therefore, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the calamity which I will bring on this place.""' So they brought back word to the king.

nkjv@2Kings:23:1 @ Now the king sent them to gather all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem to him.

nkjv@2Kings:23:2 @ The king went up to the house of the LORD with all the men of Judah, and with him all the inhabitants of Jerusalem--the priests and the prophets and all the people, both small and great. And he read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant which had been found in the house of the LORD.

nkjv@2Kings:23:3 @ Then the king stood by a pillar and made a covenant before the LORD, to follow the LORD and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes, with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people took a stand for the covenant.

nkjv@2Kings:23:4 @ And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to bring out of the temple of the LORD all the articles that were made for Baal, for Asherah, and for all the host of heaven; and he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.

nkjv@2Kings:23:5 @ Then he removed the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense on the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem, and those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, to the moon, to the constellations, and to all the host of heaven.

nkjv@2Kings:23:6 @ And he brought out the wooden image from the house of the LORD, to the Brook Kidron outside Jerusalem, burned it at the Brook Kidron and ground it to ashes, and threw its ashes on the graves of the common people.

nkjv@2Kings:23:8 @ And he brought all the priests from the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba; also he broke down the high places at the gates which were at the entrance of the Gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were to the left of the city gate.

nkjv@2Kings:23:9 @ Nevertheless the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brethren.

nkjv@2Kings:23:10 ...And he defiled Topheth, which...

nkjv@2Kings:23:11 @ Then he removed the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance to the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech, the officer who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

nkjv@2Kings:23:15 @ Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and crushed it to powder, and burned the wooden image.

nkjv@2Kings:23:16 @ As Josiah turned, he saw the tombs that were there on the mountain. And he sent and took the bones out of the tombs and burned them on the altar, and defiled it according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.

nkjv@2Kings:23:19 @ Now Josiah also took away all the shrines of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger; and he did to them according to all the deeds he had done in Bethel.

nkjv@2Kings:23:20 @ He executed all the priests of the high places who were there, on the altars, and burned men's bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Kings:23:21 @ Then the king commanded all the people, saying, "Keep the Passover to the LORD your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant."

nkjv@2Kings:23:25 @ Now before him there was no king like him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses; nor after him did any arise like him.

nkjv@2Kings:23:29 @ In his days Pharaoh Necho king of Egypt went to the aid of the king of Assyria, to the River Euphrates; and King Josiah went against him. And Pharaoh Necho killed him at Megiddo when he confronted him.

nkjv@2Kings:23:30 @ Then his servants moved his body in a chariot from Megiddo, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in his father's place.

nkjv@2Kings:23:32 @ And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.

nkjv@2Kings:23:34 @ Then Pharaoh Necho made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in place of his father Josiah, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Pharaoh took Jehoahaz and went to Egypt, and he died there.

nkjv@2Kings:23:35 @ So Jehoiakim gave the silver and gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give money according to the command of Pharaoh; he exacted the silver and gold from the people of the land, from every one according to his assessment, to give it to Pharaoh Necho.

nkjv@2Kings:23:37 @ And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.

nkjv@2Kings:24:2 @ And the LORD sent against him raiding bands of Chaldeans, bands of Syrians, bands of Moabites, and bands of the people of Ammon; He sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD which He had spoken by His servants the prophets.

nkjv@2Kings:24:7 @ And the king of Egypt did not come out of his land anymore, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the Brook of Egypt to the River Euphrates.

nkjv@2Kings:24:9 @ And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done.

nkjv@2Kings:24:12 @ Then Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers went out to the king of Babylon; and the king of Babylon, in the eighth year of his reign, took him prisoner.

nkjv@2Kings:24:15 @ And he carried Jehoiachin captive to Babylon. The king's mother, the king's wives, his officers, and the mighty of the land he carried into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.

nkjv@2Kings:24:16 @ All the valiant men, seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths, one thousand, all who were strong and fit for war, these the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.

nkjv@2Kings:24:17 @ Then the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's uncle, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

nkjv@2Kings:24:19 @ He also did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

nkjv@2Kings:25:6 @ So they took the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, and they pronounced judgment on him.

nkjv@2Kings:25:7 @ Then they killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, put out the eyes of Zedekiah, bound him with bronze fetters, and took him to Babylon.

nkjv@2Kings:25:8 @ And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month (which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Kings:25:11 @ Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive the rest of the people who remained in the city and the defectors who had deserted to the king of Babylon, with the rest of the multitude.

nkjv@2Kings:25:13 @ The bronze pillars that were in the house of the LORD, and the carts and the bronze Sea that were in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried their bronze to Babylon.

nkjv@2Kings:25:20 @ So Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, took these and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.

nkjv@2Kings:25:21 @ Then the king of Babylon struck them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive from its own land.

nkjv@2Kings:25:23 @ Now when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah--Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, Johanan the son of Careah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.

nkjv@2Kings:25:28 @ He spoke kindly to him, and gave him a more prominent seat than those of the kings who were with him in Babylon.

nkjv@1Chronicles:1:19 @ To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

nkjv@1Chronicles:1:32 @ Now the sons born to Keturah, Abraham's concubine, were Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. The sons of Jokshan were Sheba and Dedan.

nkjv@1Chronicles:2:3 @ The sons of Judah were Er, Onan, and Shelah. These three were born to him by the daughter of Shua, the Canaanitess. Er, the firstborn of Judah, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so He killed him.

nkjv@1Chronicles:2:9 @ Also the sons of Hezron who were born to him were Jerahmeel, Ram, and Chelubai.

nkjv@1Chronicles:2:21 @ Now afterward Hezron went in to the daughter of Machir the father of Gilead, whom he married when he was sixty years old; and she bore him Segub.

nkjv@1Chronicles:2:23 @ (Geshur and Syria took from them the towns of Jair, with Kenath and its towns--sixty towns.) All these belonged to the sons of Machir the father of Gilead.

nkjv@1Chronicles:2:35 @ Sheshan gave his daughter to Jarha his servant as wife, and she bore him Attai.

nkjv@1Chronicles:3:1 @ Now these were the sons of David who were born to him in Hebron: The firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second, Daniel, Called by Abigail the Carmelitess;

nkjv@1Chronicles:3:4 @ These six were born to him in Hebron. There he reigned seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years.

nkjv@1Chronicles:3:5 @ And these were born to him in Jerusalem: Shimea, Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon--four by Bathshua the daughter of Ammiel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:4:39 @ So they went to the entrance of Gedor, as far as the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.

nkjv@1Chronicles:4:41 @ These recorded by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and they attacked their tents and the Meunites who were found there, and utterly destroyed them, as it is to this day. So they dwelt in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks there.

nkjv@1Chronicles:4:42 @ Now some of them, five hundred men of the sons of Simeon, went to Mount Seir, having as their captains Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.

nkjv@1Chronicles:4:43 @ And they defeated the rest of the Amalekites who had escaped. They have dwelt there to this day.

nkjv@1Chronicles:5:1 @ Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel--he was indeed the firstborn, but because he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel, so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright;

nkjv@1Chronicles:5:11 @ And the children of Gad dwelt next to them in the land of Bashan as far as Salcah:

nkjv@1Chronicles:5:18 @ The sons of Reuben, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh had forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty valiant men, men able to bear shield and sword, to shoot with the bow, and skillful in war, who went to war.

nkjv@1Chronicles:5:20 @ And they were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them, for they cried out to God in the battle. He heeded their prayer, because they put their trust in Him.

nkjv@1Chronicles:5:23 @ So the children of the half-tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land. Their numbers increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon, that is, to Senir, or Mount Hermon.

nkjv@1Chronicles:5:25 @ And they were unfaithful to the God of their fathers, and played the harlot after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.

nkjv@1Chronicles:5:26 @ So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, that is, Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria. He carried the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into captivity. He took them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan to this day.

nkjv@1Chronicles:6:19 @ The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. Now these are the families of the Levites according to their fathers:

nkjv@1Chronicles:6:31 @ Now these are the men whom David appointed over the service of song in the house of the LORD, after the ark came to rest.

nkjv@1Chronicles:6:32 @ They were ministering with music before the dwelling place of the tabernacle of meeting, until Solomon had built the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, and they served in their office according to their order.

nkjv@1Chronicles:6:48 @ And their brethren, the Levites, were appointed to every kind of service of the tabernacle of the house of God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:6:49 @ But Aaron and his sons offered sacrifices on the altar of burnt offering and on the altar of incense, for all the work of the Most Holy Place, and to make atonement for Israel, according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded.

nkjv@1Chronicles:6:54 @ Now these are their dwelling places throughout their settlements in their territory, for they were given by lot to the sons of Aaron, of the family of the Kohathites:

nkjv@1Chronicles:6:56 @ But the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

nkjv@1Chronicles:6:57 @ And to the sons of Aaron they gave one of the cities of refuge, Hebron; also Libnah with its common-lands, Jattir, Eshtemoa with its common-lands,

nkjv@1Chronicles:6:61 @ To the rest of the family of the tribe of the Kohathites they gave by lot ten cities from half the tribe of Manasseh.

nkjv@1Chronicles:6:62 @ And to the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, they gave thirteen cities from the tribe of Issachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.

nkjv@1Chronicles:6:63 @ To the sons of Merari, throughout their families, they gave twelve cities from the tribe of Reuben, from the tribe of Gad, and from the tribe of Zebulun.

nkjv@1Chronicles:6:64 @ So the children of Israel gave these cities with their common-lands to the Levites.

nkjv@1Chronicles:7:4 @ And with them, by their generations, according to their fathers' houses, were thirty-six thousand troops ready for war; for they had many wives and sons.

nkjv@1Chronicles:7:9 @ And they were recorded by genealogy according to their generations, heads of their fathers' houses, twenty thousand two hundred mighty men of valor.

nkjv@1Chronicles:7:11 @ All these sons of Jediael were heads of their fathers' houses; there were seventeen thousand two hundred mighty men of valor fit to go out for war and battle.

nkjv@1Chronicles:7:21 @ Zabad his son, Shuthelah his son, and Ezer and Elead. The men of Gath who were born in that land killed them because they came down to take away their cattle.

nkjv@1Chronicles:7:22 @ Then Ephraim their father mourned many days, and his brethren came to comfort him.

nkjv@1Chronicles:7:23 @ And when he went in to his wife, she conceived and bore a son; and he called his name Beriah, because tragedy had come upon his house.

nkjv@1Chronicles:7:28 @ Now their possessions and dwelling places were Bethel and its towns: to the east Naaran, to the west Gezer and its towns, and Shechem and its towns, as far as Ayyah and its towns;

nkjv@1Chronicles:8:6 @ These are the sons of Ehud, who were the heads of the fathers' houses of the inhabitants of Geba, and who forced them to move to Manahath:

nkjv@1Chronicles:8:7 @ Naaman, Ahijah, and Gera who forced them to move. He begot Uzza and Ahihud.

nkjv@1Chronicles:9:1 @ So all Israel was recorded by genealogies, and indeed, they were inscribed in the book of the kings of Israel. But Judah was carried away captive to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness.

nkjv@1Chronicles:9:9 @ and their brethren, according to their generations--nine hundred and fifty-six. All these men were heads of a father's house in their fathers' houses.

nkjv@1Chronicles:9:19 @ Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, from his father's house, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, gatekeepers of the tabernacle. Their fathers had been keepers of the entrance to the camp of the LORD.

nkjv@1Chronicles:9:22 @ All those chosen as gatekeepers were two hundred and twelve. They were recorded by their genealogy, in their villages. David and Samuel the seer had appointed them to their trusted office.

nkjv@1Chronicles:9:24 @ The gatekeepers were assigned to the four directions: the east, west, north, and south.

nkjv@1Chronicles:9:25 @ And their brethren in their villages had to come with them from time to time for seven days.

nkjv@1Chronicles:10:4 @ Then Saul said to his armorbearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and abuse me." But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.

nkjv@1Chronicles:10:8 @ So it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

nkjv@1Chronicles:10:9 @ And they stripped him and took his head and his armor, and sent word throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among the people.

nkjv@1Chronicles:10:11 @ And when all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

nkjv@1Chronicles:10:12 @ all the valiant men arose and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons; and they brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

nkjv@1Chronicles:10:14 @ But he did not inquire of the LORD; therefore He killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.

nkjv@1Chronicles:11:1 @ Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron, saying, "Indeed we are your bone and your flesh.

nkjv@1Chronicles:11:2 @ Also, in time past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in; and the LORD your God said to you, "You shall shepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over My people Israel."'

nkjv@1Chronicles:11:3 @ Therefore all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD. And they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:11:4 @ And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus, where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

nkjv@1Chronicles:11:5 @ But the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You shall not come in here!" Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David).

nkjv@1Chronicles:11:8 @ And he built the city around it, from the Millo to the surrounding area. Joab repaired the rest of the city.

nkjv@1Chronicles:11:10 @ Now these were the heads of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:11:15 @ Now three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.

nkjv@1Chronicles:11:18 @ So the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless David would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD.

nkjv@1Chronicles:11:21 @ Of the three he was more honored than the other two men. Therefore he became their captain. However he did not attain to the first three.

nkjv@1Chronicles:11:23 @ And he killed an Egyptian, a man of great height, five cubits tall. In the Egyptian's hand there was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, wrested the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.

nkjv@1Chronicles:11:25 @ Indeed he was more honored than the thirty, but he did not attain to the first three. And David appointed him over his guard.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:1 @ Now these were the men who came to David at Ziklag while he was still a fugitive from Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men, helpers in the war,

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:15 @ These are the ones who crossed the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all those in the valleys, to the east and to the west.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:16 @ Then some of the sons of Benjamin and Judah came to David at the stronghold.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:17 @ And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them, "If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if to betray me to my enemies, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look and bring judgment."

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:18 @ Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, chief of the captains, and he said: "We are yours, O David; We are on your side, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, And peace to your helpers! For your God helps you." So David received them, and made them captains of the troop.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:19 @ And some from Manasseh defected to David when he was going with the Philistines to battle against Saul; but they did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines sent him away by agreement, saying, "He may defect to his master Saul and endanger our heads."

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:20 @ When he went to Ziklag, those of Manasseh who defected to him were Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of the thousands who were from Manasseh.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:22 @ For at that time they came to David day by day to help him, until it was a great army, like the army of God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:23 @ Now these were the numbers of the divisions that were equipped for war, and came to David at Hebron to turn over the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD:

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:29 @ of the sons of Benjamin, relatives of Saul, three thousand (until then the greatest part of them had remained loyal to the house of Saul);

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:31 @ of the half-tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were designated by name to come and make David king;

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:32 @ of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command;

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:33 @ of Zebulun there were fifty thousand who went out to battle, expert in war with all weapons of war, stouthearted men who could keep ranks;

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:36 @ of Asher, those who could go out to war, able to keep battle formation, forty thousand;

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:38 @ All these men of war, who could keep ranks, came to Hebron with a loyal heart, to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest of Israel were of one mind to make David king.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:40 @ Moreover those who were near to them, from as far away as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, were bringing food on donkeys and camels, on mules and oxen--provisions of flour and cakes of figs and cakes of raisins, wine and oil and oxen and sheep abundantly, for there was joy in Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:2 @ And David said to all the assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you, and if it is of the LORD our God, let us send out to our brethren everywhere who are left in all the land of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites who are in their cities and their common-lands, that they may gather together to us;

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:3 @ and let us bring the ark of our God back to us, for we have not inquired at it since the days of Saul."

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:5 @ So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor in Egypt to as far as the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath Jearim.

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:6 @ And David and all Israel went up to Baalah, to Kirjath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who dwells between the cherubim, where His name is proclaimed.

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:9 @ And when they came to Chidon's threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled.

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:10 @ Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Uzza, and He struck him because he put his hand to the ark; and he died there before God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:11 @ And David became angry because of the LORD's outbreak against Uzza; therefore that place is called Perez Uzza to this day.

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:12 @ David was afraid of God that day, saying, "How can I bring the ark of God to me?"

nkjv@1Chronicles:14:1 @ Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, with masons and carpenters, to build him a house.

nkjv@1Chronicles:14:8 @ Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it and went out against them.

nkjv@1Chronicles:14:10 @ And David inquired of God, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?" The LORD said to him, "Go up, for I will deliver them into your hand."

nkjv@1Chronicles:14:11 @ So they went up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. Then David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water." Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

nkjv@1Chronicles:14:14 @ Therefore David inquired again of God, and God said to him, "You shall not go up after them; circle around them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees.

nkjv@1Chronicles:14:15 @ And it shall be, when you hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall go out to battle, for God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines."

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:2 @ Then David said, "No one may carry the ark of God but the Levites, for the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of God and to minister before Him forever."

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:3 @ And David gathered all Israel together at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD to its place, which he had prepared for it.

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:15 @ And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders, by its poles, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD.

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:16 @ Then David spoke to the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers accompanied by instruments of music, stringed instruments, harps, and cymbals, by raising the voice with resounding joy.

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:19 @ the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were to sound the cymbals of bronze;

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:20 @ Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with strings according to Alamoth;

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:21 @ Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah, to direct with harps on the Sheminith;

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:24 @ Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, were to blow the trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah, doorkeepers for the ark.

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:25 @ So David, the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-Edom with joy.

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:29 @ And it happened, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the City of David, that Michal, Saul's daughter, looked through a window and saw King David whirling and playing music; and she despised him in her heart.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:3 @ Then he distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:4 @ And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the LORD God of Israel:

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:5 @ Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, and Obed-Edom: Jeiel with stringed instruments and harps, but Asaph made music with cymbals;

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:7 @ On that day David first delivered this psalm into the hand of Asaph and his brethren, to thank the LORD:

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:8 @ Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples!

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:9 @ Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works!

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:16 @ The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:17 @...Jacob for a statute, To Israel...

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:20 @ When they went from one nation to another, And from one kingdom to another people,

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:21 @ He permitted no man to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:23 @ Sing to the LORD, all the earth; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:25 @ For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:28 @ Give to the LORD, O families of the peoples, Give to the LORD glory and strength.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:29 @ Give to the LORD the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness!

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:33 @ Then the trees of the woods shall rejoice before the LORD, For He is coming to judge the earth.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:34 @ Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:35 @...to Your holy name, To triumph...

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:36 @ Blessed be the LORD God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! And all the people said, "Amen!" and praised the LORD.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:37 @ So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister before the ark regularly, as every day's work required;

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:38 @ and Obed-Edom with his sixty-eight brethren, including Obed-Edom the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, to be gatekeepers;

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:40 @ to offer burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offering regularly morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the Law of the LORD which He commanded Israel;

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:41 @ and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because His mercy endures forever;

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:42 @ and with them Heman and Jeduthun, to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals and the musical instruments of God. Now the sons of Jeduthun were gatekeepers.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:43 @ Then all the people departed, every man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:1 @ Now it came to pass, when David was dwelling in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, "See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under tent curtains."

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:2 @ Then Nathan said to David, "Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you."

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:3 @ But it happened that night that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:4 @ "Go and tell My servant David, "Thus says the LORD: "You shall not build Me a house to dwell in.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:5 @ For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought up Israel, even to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:6 @ Wherever I have moved about with all Israel, have I ever spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, "Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?""

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:7 @ Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, "Thus says the LORD of hosts: "I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:10 @ since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. Also I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the LORD will build you a house.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:11 @ And it shall be, when your days are fulfilled, when you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your seed after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:15 @ According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:17 @ And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O God; and You have also spoken of Your servant's house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:18 @ What more can David say to You for the honor of Your servant? For You know Your servant.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:19 @ O LORD, for Your servant's sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:20 @ O LORD, there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:21 @ And who is like Your people Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people--to make for Yourself a name by great and awesome deeds, by driving out nations from before Your people whom You redeemed from Egypt?

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:25 @ For You, O my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build him a house. Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray before You.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:26 @ And now, LORD, You are God, and have promised this goodness to Your servant.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:27 @ Now You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You have blessed it, O LORD, and it shall be blessed forever."

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:1 @ After this it came to pass that David attacked the Philistines, subdued them, and took Gath and its towns from the hand of the Philistines.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:3 @ And David defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah as far as Hamath, as he went to establish his power by the River Euphrates.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:5 @ When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of the Syrians.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:7 @ And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:10 @ he sent Hadoram his son to King David, to greet him and bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him (...been at war with Tou...); and Hadoram brought with him all kinds of articles of gold, silver, and bronze.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:11 @ King David also dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold that he had brought from all these nations--from Edom, from Moab, from the people of Ammon, from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:14 @ So David reigned over all Israel, and administered judgment and justice to all his people.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:2 @ Then David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came to Hanun in the land of the people of Ammon to comfort him.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:3 @ And the princes of the people of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David really honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Did his servants not come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?"

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:5 @ Then some went and told David about the men; and he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:6 @ When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves repulsive to David, Hanun and the people of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Mesopotamia, from Syrian Maacah, and from Zobah.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:7 @ So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, with the king of Maacah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. Also the people of Ammon gathered together from their cities, and came to battle.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:15 @ When the people of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fleeing, they also fled before Abishai his brother, and entered the city. So Joab went to Jerusalem.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:19 @ And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became his servants. So the Syrians were not willing to help the people of Ammon anymore.

nkjv@1Chronicles:20:1 @ It happened in the spring of the year, at the time kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the armed forces and ravaged the country of the people of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. And Joab defeated Rabbah and overthrew it.

nkjv@1Chronicles:20:2 @ Then David took their king's crown from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. And it was set on David's head. Also he brought out the spoil of the city in great abundance.

nkjv@1Chronicles:20:3 @ And he brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. So David did to all the cities of the people of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

nkjv@1Chronicles:20:6 @ Yet again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, with twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.

nkjv@1Chronicles:20:8 @ These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:1 @ Now Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:2 @ So David said to Joab and to the leaders of the people, "Go, number Israel from Beersheba to Dan, and bring the number of them to me that I may know it."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:4 @ Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel and came to Jerusalem.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:5 @ Then Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. All Israel had one million one hundred thousand men who drew the sword, and Judah had four hundred and seventy thousand men who drew the sword.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:6 @ But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king's word was abominable to Joab.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:8 @ So David said to God, "I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing; but now, I pray, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:9 @ Then the LORD spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:10 @ "Go and tell David, saying, "Thus says the LORD: "I offer you three things; choose one of them for yourself, that I may do it to you.""'

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:11 @ So Gad came to David and said to him, "Thus says the LORD: "Choose for yourself,

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:12 @ either three years of famine, or three months to be defeated by your foes with the sword of your enemies overtaking you, or else for three days the sword of the LORD--the plague in the land, with the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the territory of Israel.' Now consider what answer I should take back to Him who sent me."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:13 @ And David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Please let me fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:15 @ And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was destroying, the LORD looked and relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who was destroying, "It is enough; now restrain your hand." And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:17 @ And David said to God, "Was it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, O LORD my God, be against me and my father's house, but not against Your people that they should be plagued."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:18 @ Therefore, the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David that David should go and erect an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:21 @ So David came to Ornan, and Ornan looked and saw David. And he went out from the threshing floor, and bowed before David with his face to the ground.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:22 @ Then David said to Ornan, "Grant me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar on it to the LORD. You shall grant it to me at the full price, that the plague may be withdrawn from the people."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:23 @ But Ornan said to David, "Take it to yourself, and let my lord the king do what is good in his eyes. Look, I also give you the oxen for burnt offerings, the threshing implements for wood, and the wheat for the grain offering; I give it all."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:24 @ Then King David said to Ornan, "No, but I will surely buy it for the full price, for I will not take what is yours for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings with that which costs me nothing."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:26 @ And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on the LORD; and He answered him from heaven by fire on the altar of burnt offering.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:27 @ So the LORD commanded the angel, and he returned his sword to its sheath.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:30 @ But David could not go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:2 @ So David commanded to gather the aliens who were in the land of Israel; and he appointed masons to cut hewn stones to build the house of God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:4 @ and cedar trees in abundance; for the Sidonians and those from Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:5 @ Now David said, "Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all countries. I will now make preparation for it." So David made abundant preparations before his death.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:6 @ Then he called for his son Solomon, and charged him to build a house for the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:7 @ And David said to Solomon: "My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house to the name of the LORD my God;

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:8 @ but the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "You have shed much blood and have made great wars; you shall not build a house for My name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in My sight.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:9 @ Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies all around. His name shall be Solomon, for I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:11 @ Now, my son, may the LORD be with you; and may you prosper, and build the house of the LORD your God, as He has said to you.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:13 @ Then you will prosper, if you take care to fulfill the statutes and judgments with which the LORD charged Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and of good courage; do not fear nor be dismayed.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:14 @ Indeed I have taken much trouble to prepare for the house of the LORD one hundred thousand talents of gold and one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron beyond measure, for it is so abundant. I have prepared timber and stone also, and you may add to them.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:17 @ David also commanded all the leaders of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:19 @ Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God. Therefore arise and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy articles of God into the house that is to be built for the name of the LORD."

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:4 @ Of these, twenty-four thousand were to look after the work of the house of the LORD, six thousand were officers and judges,

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:13 @ The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was set apart, he and his sons forever, that he should sanctify the most holy things, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to Him, and to give the blessing in His name forever.

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:14 @ Now the sons of Moses the man of God were reckoned to the tribe of Levi.

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:25 @ For David said, "The LORD God of Israel has given rest to His people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem forever";

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:26 @ and also to the Levites, "They shall no longer carry the tabernacle, or any of the articles for its service."

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:28 @ because their duty was to help the sons of Aaron in the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts and in the chambers, in the purifying of all holy things and the work of the service of the house of God,

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:30 @ to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at evening;

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:31 @ and at every presentation of a burnt offering to the LORD on the Sabbaths and on the New Moons and on the set feasts, by number according to the ordinance governing them, regularly before the LORD;

nkjv@1Chronicles:25:5 @ All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to exalt his horn. For God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

nkjv@1Chronicles:26:6 @ Also to Shemaiah his son were sons born who governed their fathers' houses, because they were men of great ability.

nkjv@1Chronicles:26:12 @ Among these were the divisions of the gatekeepers, among the chief men, having duties just like their brethren, to serve in the house of the LORD.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:20 @ Then David said to all the assembly, "Now bless the LORD your God." So all the assembly blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed their heads and prostrated themselves before the LORD and the king.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:21 @ And they made sacrifices to the LORD and offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the next day: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:22 @ So they ate and drank before the LORD with great gladness on that day. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him before the LORD to be the leader, and Zadok to be priest.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:24 @ All the leaders and the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David, submitted themselves to King Solomon.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:30 @ with all his reign and his might, and the events that happened to him, to Israel, and to all the kingdoms of the lands.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:2 @ And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every leader in all Israel, the heads of the fathers' houses.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:3 @ Then Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for the tabernacle of meeting with God was there, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:4 @ But David had brought up the ark of God from Kirjath Jearim to the place David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:6 @ And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:7 @ On that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, "Ask! What shall I give you?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:8 @ And Solomon said to God: "You have shown great mercy to David my father, and have made me king in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:9 @ Now, O LORD God, let Your promise to David my father be established, for You have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:11 @ Then God said to Solomon: "Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honor or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life--but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king--

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:12 @ wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings have had who were before you, nor shall any after you have the like."

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:13 @ So Solomon came to Jerusalem from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tabernacle of meeting, and reigned over Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:17 @ They also acquired and imported from Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty; thus, through their agents, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:1 @ Then Solomon determined to build a temple for the name of the LORD, and a royal house for himself.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:2 @ Solomon selected seventy thousand men to bear burdens, eighty thousand to quarry stone in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred to oversee them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:3 @ Then Solomon sent to Hiram king of Tyre, saying: 4 As you have dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build himself a house to dwell in, so deal with me.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:4 @ Behold, I am building a temple for the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to Him, to burn before Him sweet incense, for the continual showbread, for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, on the New Moons, and on the set feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:6 @ But who is able to build Him a temple, since heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him? Who am I then, that I should build Him a temple, except to burn sacrifice before Him?

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:7 @ Therefore send me at once a man skillful to work in gold and silver, in bronze and iron, in purple and crimson and blue, who has skill to engrave with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:8 @ Also send me cedar and cypress and algum logs from Lebanon, for I know that your servants have skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and indeed my servants will be with your servants,

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:9 @ to prepare timber for me in abundance, for the temple which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:10 @ And indeed I will give to your servants, the woodsmen who cut timber, twenty thousand kors of ground wheat, twenty thousand kors of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:11 @ Then Hiram king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon: 4 Because the LORD loves His people, He has made you king over them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:14 @ (the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre), skilled to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, purple and blue, fine linen and crimson, and to make any engraving and to accomplish any plan which may be given to him, with your skillful men and with the skillful men of my lord David your father.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:15 @ Now therefore, the wheat, the barley, the oil, and the wine which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:16 @ And we will cut wood from Lebanon, as much as you need; we will bring it to you in rafts by sea to Joppa, and you will carry it up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:17 @ Then Solomon numbered all the aliens who were in the land of Israel, after the census in which David his father had numbered them; and there were found to be one hundred and fifty-three thousand six hundred.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:18 @ And he made seventy thousand of them bearers of burdens, eighty thousand stonecutters in the mountain, and three thousand six hundred overseers to make the people work.

nkjv@2Chronicles:3:1 @ Now Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

nkjv@2Chronicles:3:2 @ And he began to build on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.

nkjv@2Chronicles:3:3 @ This is the foundation which Solomon laid for building the house of God: The length was sixty cubits (by cubits according to the former measure) and the width twenty cubits.

nkjv@2Chronicles:3:8 @ And he made the Most Holy Place. Its length was according to the width of the house, twenty cubits, and its width twenty cubits. He overlaid it with six hundred talents of fine gold.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:2 @ Then he made the Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:3 @ And under it was the likeness of oxen encircling it all around, ten to a cubit, all the way around the Sea. The oxen were cast in two rows, when it was cast.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:6 @ He also made ten lavers, and put five on the right side and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as they offered for the burnt offering they would wash in them, but the Sea was for the priests to wash in.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:7 @ And he made ten lampstands of gold according to their design, and set them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:11 @ Then Huram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing the work that he was to do for King Solomon for the house of God:

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:13 @ four hundred pomegranates for the two networks (two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on the pillars);

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:20 @ the lampstands with their lamps of pure gold, to burn in the prescribed manner in front of the inner sanctuary,

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:22 @ the trimmers, the bowls, the ladles, and the censers of pure gold. As for the entry of the sanctuary, its inner doors to the Most Holy Place, and the doors of the main hall of the temple, were gold.

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:7 @ Then the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the Most Holy Place, under the wings of the cherubim.

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:9 @ The poles extended so that the ends of the poles of the ark could be seen from the holy place, in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And they are there to this day.

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:11 @ And it came to pass when the priests came out of the Most Holy Place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without keeping to their divisions),

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:13 @ indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying: "For He is good, For His mercy endures forever," that the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud,

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:2 @ I have surely built You an exalted house, And a place for You to dwell in forever."

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:4 @ And he said: "Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His hands what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, saying,

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:5 @ "Since the day that I brought My people out of the land of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that My name might be there, nor did I choose any man to be a ruler over My people Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:6 @ Yet I have chosen Jerusalem, that My name may be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.'

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:7 @ Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a temple for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:8 @ But the LORD said to my father David, "Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well in that it was in your heart.

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:16 @ Therefore, LORD God of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, "You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk in My law as you have walked before Me.'

nkjv@2Chronicles:7:3 @ When all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD on the temple, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised the LORD, saying: "For He is good, For His mercy endures forever."

nkjv@2Chronicles:7:6 @ And the priests attended to their services; the Levites also with instruments of the music of the LORD, which King David had made to praise the LORD, saying, "For His mercy endures forever," whenever David offered praise by their ministry. The priests sounded trumpets opposite them, while all Israel stood.

nkjv@2Chronicles:7:7 @ Furthermore Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was in front of the house of the LORD; for there he offered burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat.

nkjv@2Chronicles:7:8 @ At that time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt.

nkjv@2Chronicles:7:10 @ On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the good that the LORD had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:7:11 @ Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD and the king's house; and Solomon successfully accomplished all that came into his heart to make in the house of the LORD and in his own house.

nkjv@2Chronicles:7:12 @ Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: "I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.

nkjv@2Chronicles:7:13 @ When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people,

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:2 @ that the cities which Hiram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them; and he settled the children of Israel there.

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:3 @ And Solomon went to Hamath Zobah and seized it.

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:6 @ also Baalath and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities and the cities of the cavalry, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:8 @ that is, their descendants who were left in the land after them, whom the children of Israel did not destroy--from these Solomon raised forced labor, as it is to this day.

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:11 @ Now Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the house he had built for her, for he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places to which the ark of the LORD has come are holy."

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:12 @ Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD which he had built before the vestibule,

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:13 @ according to the daily rate, offering according to the commandment of Moses, for the Sabbaths, the New Moons, and the three appointed yearly feasts--the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:14 @ And, according to the order of David his father, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, the Levites for their duties (to praise and serve before the priests) as the duty of each day required, and the gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate; for so David the man of God had commanded.

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:15 @ They did not depart from the command of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter or concerning the treasuries.

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:17 @ Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber and Elath on the seacoast, in the land of Edom.

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:18 @ And Hiram sent him ships by the hand of his servants, and servants who knew the sea. They went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and acquired four hundred and fifty talents of gold from there, and brought it to King Solomon.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:1 @ Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem to test Solomon with hard questions, having a very great retinue, camels that bore spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was in her heart.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:2 @ So Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing so difficult for Solomon that he could not explain it to her.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:4 @ the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the service of his waiters and their apparel, his cupbearers and their apparel, and his entryway by which he went up to the house of the LORD, there was no more spirit in her.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:5 @ Then she said to the king: "It was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:8 @ Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, setting you on His throne to be king for the LORD your God! Because your God has loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness."

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:9 @ And she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, spices in great abundance, and precious stones; there never were any spices such as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:12 @ Now King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all she desired, whatever she asked, much more than she had brought to the king. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:13 @ The weight of gold that came to Solomon yearly was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:14 @ besides what the traveling merchants and traders brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:18 @ The throne had six steps, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne; there were armrests on either side of the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the armrests.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:21 @ For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Hiram. Once every three years the merchant ships came, bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and monkeys.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:23 @ And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:26 @ So he reigned over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:28 @ And they brought horses to Solomon from Egypt and from all lands.

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:1 @ And Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone to Shechem to make him king.

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:3 @ Then they sent for him and called him. And Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:5 @ So he said to them, "Come back to me after three days." And the people departed.

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:6 @ Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, saying, "How do you advise me to answer these people?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:7 @ And they spoke to him, saying, "If you are kind to these people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be your servants forever."

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:9 @ And he said to them, "What advice do you give? How should we answer this people who have spoken to me, saying, "Lighten the yoke which your father put on us'?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:10 @ Then the young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, "Thus you should speak to the people who have spoken to you, saying, "Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make it lighter on us'--thus you shall say to them: "My little finger shall be thicker than my father's waist!

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:11 @ And now, whereas my father put a heavy yoke on you, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!"'

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:12 @ So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had directed, saying, "Come back to me the third day."

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:14 @ and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:15 @ So the king did not listen to the people; for the turn of events was from God, that the LORD might fulfill His word, which He had spoken by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:16 @ Now when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying: "What share have we in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to your tents, O Israel! Now see to your own house, O David!" So all Israel departed to their tents.

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:18 @ Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was in charge of revenue; but the children of Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. Therefore King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste to flee to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:19 @ So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:1 @ Now when Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he assembled from the house of Judah and Benjamin one hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:2 @ But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:3 @ "Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:4 @ "Thus says the LORD: "You shall not go up or fight against your brethren! Let every man return to his house, for this thing is from Me."

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:14 @ For the Levites left their common-lands and their possessions and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them from serving as priests to the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:16 @ And after the Levites left, those from all the tribes of Israel, such as set their heart to seek the LORD God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the LORD God of their fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:22 @ And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maachah as chief, to be leader among his brothers; for he intended to make him king.

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:23 @ He dealt wisely, and dispersed some of his sons throughout all the territories of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city; and he gave them provisions in abundance. He also sought many wives for them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:1 @ Now it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom and had strengthened himself, that he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel along with him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:4 @ And he took the fortified cities of Judah and came to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:5 @ Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus says the LORD: "You have forsaken Me, and therefore I also have left you in the hand of Shishak."'

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:7 @ Now when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, "They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance. My wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:10 @ Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who guarded the doorway of the king's house.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:12 @ When he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, so as not to destroy him completely; and things also went well in Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:13 @ Thus King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Now Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king; and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. His mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:14 @ And he did evil, because he did not prepare his heart to seek the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:5 @ Should you not know that the LORD God of Israel gave the dominion over Israel to David forever, to him and his sons, by a covenant of salt?

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:7 @ Then worthless rogues gathered to him, and strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and inexperienced and could not withstand them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:8 @ And now you think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD, which is in the hand of the sons of David; and you are a great multitude, and with you are the gold calves which Jeroboam made for you as gods.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:9 @ Have you not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests, like the peoples of other lands, so that whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of things that are not gods?

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:10 @ But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and the priests who minister to the LORD are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites attend to their duties.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:11 @ And they burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense; they also set the showbread in order on the pure gold table, and the lampstand of gold with its lamps to burn every evening; for we keep the command of the LORD our God, but you have forsaken Him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:12 @ Now look, God Himself is with us as our head, and His priests with sounding trumpets to sound the alarm against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the LORD God of your fathers, for you shall not prosper!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:13 @ But Jeroboam caused an ambush to go around behind them; so they were in front of Judah, and the ambush was behind them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:14 @ And when Judah looked around, to their surprise the battle line was at both front and rear; and they cried out to the LORD, and the priests sounded the trumpets.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:4 @ He commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to observe the law and the commandment.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:7 @ Therefore he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities and make walls around them, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side."

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:4 @ Therefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD, like the house of Ahab; for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:5 @ He also followed their advice, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:6 @ Then he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds which he had received at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:7 @ His going to Joram was God's occasion for Ahaziah's downfall; for when he arrived, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:9 @ Then he searched for Ahaziah; and they caught him (he was hiding in Samaria), and brought him to Jehu.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:9 @ And Jehoiada the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and the large and small shields which had belonged to King David, that were in the temple of God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:10 @ Then he set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and by the temple, all around the king.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:14 @ And Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, "Take her outside under guard, and slay with the sword whoever follows her." For the priest had said, "Do not kill her in the house of the LORD."

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:17 @ And all the people went to the temple of Baal, and tore it down. They broke in pieces its altars and images, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:18 @ Also Jehoiada appointed the oversight of the house of the LORD to the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had assigned in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the Law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was established by David.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:20 @ Then he took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the house of the LORD; and they went through the Upper Gate to the king's house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:5 @ Then he gathered the priests and the Levites, and said to them, "Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that you do it quickly." However the Levites did not do it quickly.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:6 @ So the king called Jehoiada the chief priest, and said to him, "Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and from Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD and of the assembly of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:7 @ For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken into the house of God, and had also presented all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD to the Baals.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:9 @ And they made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to bring to the LORD the collection that Moses the servant of God had imposed on Israel in the wilderness.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:11 @ So it was, at that time, when the chest was brought to the king's official by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, that the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it and returned it to its place. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:12 @ The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the house of the LORD; and they hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also those who worked in iron and bronze to restore the house of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:13 @ So the workmen labored, and the work was completed by them; they restored the house of God to its original condition and reinforced it.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:17 @ Now after the death of Jehoiada the leaders of Judah came and bowed down to the king. And the king listened to them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:19 @ Yet He sent prophets to them, to bring them back to the LORD; and they testified against them, but they would not listen.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:20 @ Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood above the people, and said to them, "Thus says God: "Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, He also has forsaken you."'

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:22 @ Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son; and as he died, he said, "The LORD look on it, and repay!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:23 @ So it happened in the spring of the year that the army of Syria came up against him; and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the leaders of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:4 @ However he did not execute their children, but did as it is written in the Law in the Book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, "The fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall the children be put to death for their fathers; but a person shall die for his own sin."

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:5 @ Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together and set over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, according to their fathers' houses, throughout all Judah and Benjamin; and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them to be three hundred thousand choice men, able to go to war, who could handle spear and shield.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:7 @ But a man of God came to him, saying, "O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel--not with any of the children of Ephraim.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:10 @ So Amaziah discharged the troops that had come to him from Ephraim, to go back home. Therefore their anger was greatly aroused against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:11 @ Then Amaziah strengthened himself, and leading his people, he went to the Valley of Salt and killed ten thousand of the people of Seir.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:12 @ Also the children of Judah took captive ten thousand alive, brought them to the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were dashed in pieces.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:13 @ But as for the soldiers of the army which Amaziah had discharged, so that they would not go with him to battle, they raided the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon, killed three thousand in them, and took much spoil.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:14 @ Now it was so, after Amaziah came from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the people of Seir, set them up to be his gods, and bowed down before them and burned incense to them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:15 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD was aroused against Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet who said to him, "Why have you sought the gods of the people, which could not rescue their own people from your hand?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:16 @ So it was, as he talked with him, that the king said to him, "Have we made you the king's counselor? Cease! Why should you be killed?" Then the prophet ceased, and said, "I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not heeded my advice."

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:17 @ Now Amaziah king of Judah asked advice and sent to Joash the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us face one another in battle."

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:18 @ And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, "The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, "Give your daughter to my son as wife'; and a wild beast that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:19 @ Indeed you say that you have defeated the Edomites, and your heart is lifted up to boast. Stay at home now; why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall--you and Judah with you?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:21 @ So Joash king of Israel went out; and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced one another at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:22 @ And Judah was defeated by Israel, and every man fled to his tent.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:23 @ Then Joash the king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh; and he brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate--four hundred cubits.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:24 @ And he took all the gold and silver, all the articles that were found in the house of God with Obed-Edom, the treasures of the king's house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:27 @ After the time that Amaziah turned away from following the LORD, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:2 @ He built Elath and restored it to Judah, after the king rested with his fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:4 @ And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:8 @ Also the Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah. His fame spread as far as the entrance of Egypt, for he became exceedingly strong.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:11 @ Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war by companies, according to the number on their roll as prepared by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:13 @ And under their authority was an army of three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:14 @ Then Uzziah prepared for them, for the entire army, shields, spears, helmets, body armor, bows, and slings to cast stones.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:15 @ And he made devices in Jerusalem, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and the corners, to shoot arrows and large stones. So his fame spread far and wide, for he was marvelously helped till he became strong.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:16 @ But when he was strong his heart was lifted up, to his destruction, for he transgressed against the LORD his God by entering the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:18 @ And they withstood King Uzziah, and said to him, "It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed! You shall have no honor from the LORD God."

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:19 @ Then Uzziah became furious; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense. And while he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead, before the priests in the house of the LORD, beside the incense altar.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:20 @ And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and there, on his forehead, he was leprous; so they thrust him out of that place. Indeed he also hurried to get out, because the LORD had struck him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:22 @ Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, from first to last, the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz wrote.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:23 @ So Uzziah rested with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial which belonged to the kings, for they said, "He is a leper." Then Jotham his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:2 @ And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done (although he did not enter the temple of the LORD). But still the people acted corruptly.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:5 @ He also fought with the king of the Ammonites and defeated them. And the people of Ammon gave him in that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon paid this to him in the second and third years also.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:3 @ He burned incense in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and burned his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:5 @ Therefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria. They defeated him, and carried away a great multitude of them as captives, and brought them to Damascus. Then he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who defeated him with a great slaughter.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:7 @ Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king's son, Azrikam the officer over the house, and Elkanah who was second to the king.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:8 @ And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand women, sons, and daughters; and they also took away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:9 @ But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out before the army that came to Samaria, and said to them: "Look, because the LORD God of your fathers was angry with Judah, He has delivered them into your hand; but you have killed them in a rage that reaches up to heaven.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:10 @ And now you propose to force the children of Judah and Jerusalem to be your male and female slaves; but are you not also guilty before the LORD your God?

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:13 @ and said to them, "You shall not bring the captives here, for we already have offended the LORD. You intend to add to our sins and to our guilt; for our guilt is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel."

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:15 @ Then the men who were designated by name rose up and took the captives, and from the spoil they clothed all who were naked among them, dressed them and gave them sandals, gave them food and drink, and anointed them; and they let all the feeble ones ride on donkeys. So they brought them to their brethren at Jericho, the city of palm trees. Then they returned to Samaria.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:16 @ At the same time King Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:19 @ For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had encouraged moral decline in Judah and had been continually unfaithful to the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:20 @ Also Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria came to him and distressed him, and did not assist him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:21 @ For Ahaz took part of the treasures from the house of the LORD, from the house of the king, and from the leaders, and he gave it to the king of Assyria; but he did not help him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:22 @ Now in the time of his distress King Ahaz became increasingly unfaithful to the LORD. This is that King Ahaz.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:23 @ For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him, saying, "Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me." But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:25 @ And in every single city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:26 @ Now the rest of his acts and all his ways, from first to last, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:2 @ And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father David had done.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:5 @ and said to them: "Hear me, Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry out the rubbish from the holy place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:7 @ They have also shut up the doors of the vestibule, put out the lamps, and have not burned incense or offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:8 @ Therefore the wrath of the LORD fell upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He has given them up to trouble, to desolation, and to jeering, as you see with your eyes.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:16 @ Then the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD to cleanse it, and brought out all the debris that they found in the temple of the LORD to the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it out and carried it to the Brook Kidron.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:17 @ Now they began to sanctify on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the vestibule of the LORD. So they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they finished.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:18 @ Then they went in to King Hezekiah and said, "We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, the altar of burnt offerings with all its articles, and the table of the showbread with all its articles.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:20 @ Then King Hezekiah rose early, gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:21 @ And they brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats for a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. Then he commanded the priests, the sons of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:24 @ And the priests killed them; and they presented their blood on the altar as a sin offering to make an atonement for all Israel, for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering be made for all Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:25 @ And he stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, of Gad the king's seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for thus was the commandment of the LORD by His prophets.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:27 @ Then Hezekiah commanded them to offer the burnt offering on the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD also began, with the trumpets and with the instruments of David king of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:30 @ Moreover King Hezekiah and the leaders commanded the Levites to sing praise to the LORD with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:31 @ Then Hezekiah answered and said, "Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come near, and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD." So the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings, and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:32 @ And the number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:1 @ And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:2 @ For the king and his leaders and all the assembly in Jerusalem had agreed to keep the Passover in the second month.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:5 @ So they resolved to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem, since they had not done it for a long time in the prescribed manner.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:6 @ Then the runners went throughout all Israel and Judah with the letters from the king and his leaders, and spoke according to the command of the king: "Children of Israel, return to the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; then He will return to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:7 @ And do not be like your fathers and your brethren, who trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, so that He gave them up to desolation, as you see.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:8 @ Now do not be stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD; and enter His sanctuary, which He has sanctified forever, and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:9 @ For if you return to the LORD, your brethren and your children will be treated with compassion by those who lead them captive, so that they may come back to this land; for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn His face from you if you return to Him."

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:10 @ So the runners passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, as far as Zebulun; but they laughed at them and mocked them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:11 @ Nevertheless some from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:12 @ Also the hand of God was on Judah to give them singleness of heart to obey the command of the king and the leaders, at the word of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:13 @ Now many people, a very great assembly, gathered at Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:15 @ Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought the burnt offerings to the house of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:16 @ They stood in their place according to their custom, according to the Law of Moses the man of God; the priests sprinkled the blood received from the hand of the Levites.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:17 @ For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves; therefore the Levites had charge of the slaughter of the Passover lambs for everyone who was not clean, to sanctify them to the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:18 @ For a multitude of the people, many from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, "May the good LORD provide atonement for everyone

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:19 @ who prepares his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he is not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary."

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:20 @ And the LORD listened to Hezekiah and healed the people.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:21 @ So the children of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing to the LORD, accompanied by loud instruments.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:22 @ And Hezekiah gave encouragement to all the Levites who taught the good knowledge of the LORD; and they ate throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:23 @ Then the whole assembly agreed to keep the feast another seven days, and they kept it another seven days with gladness.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:24 @ For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep, and the leaders gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:27 @ Then the priests, the Levites, arose and blessed the people, and their voice was heard; and their prayer came up to His holy dwelling place, to heaven.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:1 @ Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke the sacred pillars in pieces, cut down the wooden images, and threw down the high places and the altars--from all Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh--until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned to their own cities, every man to his possession.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:2 @ And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites according to their divisions, each man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and peace offerings, to serve, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:4 @ Moreover he commanded the people who dwelt in Jerusalem to contribute support for the priests and the Levites, that they might devote themselves to the Law of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:6 @ And the children of Israel and Judah, who dwelt in the cities of Judah, brought the tithe of oxen and sheep; also the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to the LORD their God they laid in heaps.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:10 @ And Azariah the chief priest, from the house of Zadok, answered him and said, "Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat and have plenty left, for the LORD has blessed His people; and what is left is this great abundance."

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:11 @ Now Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in the house of the LORD, and they prepared them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:14 @ Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the East Gate, was over the freewill offerings to God, to distribute the offerings of the LORD and the most holy things.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:15 @ And under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, his faithful assistants in the cities of the priests, to distribute allotments to their brethren by divisions, to the great as well as the small.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:16 @ Besides those males from three years old and up who were written in the genealogy, they distributed to everyone who entered the house of the LORD his daily portion for the work of his service, by his division,

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:19 @ Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the common-lands of their cities, in every single city, there were men who were designated by name to distribute portions to all the males among the priests and to all who were listed by genealogies among the Levites.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:21 @ And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:1 @ After these deeds of faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and entered Judah; he encamped against the fortified cities, thinking to win them over to himself.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:2 @ And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that his purpose was to make war against Jerusalem,

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:3 @ he consulted with his leaders and commanders to stop the water from the springs which were outside the city; and they helped him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:5 @ And he strengthened himself, built up all the wall that was broken, raised it up to the towers, and built another wall outside; also he repaired the Millo in the City of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:6 @ Then he set military captains over the people, gathered them together to him in the open square of the city gate, and gave them encouragement, saying,

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:8 @ With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God, to help us and to fight our battles." And the people were strengthened by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:9 @ After this Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem (but he and all the forces with him laid siege against Lachish), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were in Jerusalem, saying,

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:11 @ Does not Hezekiah persuade you to give yourselves over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, "The LORD our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria"?

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:13 @ Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of other lands? Were the gods of the nations of those lands in any way able to deliver their lands out of my hand?

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:14 @ Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed that could deliver his people from my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you from my hand?

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:15 @ Now therefore, do not let Hezekiah deceive you or persuade you like this, and do not believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people from my hand or the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand?"'

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:17 @ He also wrote letters to revile the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, "As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand."

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:18 @ Then they called out with a loud voice in Hebrew to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them and trouble them, that they might take the city.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:20 @ Now because of this King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, prayed and cried out to heaven.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:21 @ Then the LORD sent an angel who cut down every mighty man of valor, leader, and captain in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned shamefaced to his own land. And when he had gone into the temple of his god, some of his own offspring struck him down with the sword there.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:23 @ And many brought gifts to the LORD at Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations thereafter.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:24 @ In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death, and he prayed to the LORD; and He spoke to him and gave him a sign.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:25 @ But Hezekiah did not repay according to the favor shown him, for his heart was lifted up; therefore wrath was looming over him and over Judah and Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:30 @ This same Hezekiah also stopped the water outlet of Upper Gihon, and brought the water by tunnel to the west side of the City of David. Hezekiah prospered in all his works.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:31 @ However, regarding the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, whom they sent to him to inquire about the wonder that was done in the land, God withdrew from him, in order to test him, that He might know all that was in his heart.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:2 @ But he did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:6 @ Also he caused his sons to pass through the fire in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom; he practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft and sorcery, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:7 @ He even set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, "In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever;

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:9 @ So Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do more evil than the nations whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:10 @ And the LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they would not listen.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:11 @ Therefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with hooks, bound him with bronze fetters, and carried him off to Babylon.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:13 @ and prayed to Him; and He received his entreaty, heard his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD was God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:14 @ After this he built a wall outside the City of David on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate; and it enclosed Ophel, and he raised it to a very great height. Then he put military captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:16 @ He also repaired the altar of the LORD, sacrificed peace offerings and thank offerings on it, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:17 @ Nevertheless the people still sacrificed on the high places, but only to the LORD their God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:18 @ Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:22 @ But he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done; for Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which his father Manasseh had made, and served them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:2 @ And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:3 @ For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:4 @ They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence, and the incense altars which were above them he cut down; and the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images he broke in pieces, and made dust of them and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:7 @ When he had broken down the altars and the wooden images, had beaten the carved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:8 @ In the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the temple, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:9 @ When they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the doors had gathered from the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, from all the remnant of Israel, from all Judah and Benjamin, and which they had brought back to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:10 @ Then they put it in the hand of the foremen who had the oversight of the house of the LORD; and they gave it to the workmen who worked in the house of the LORD, to repair and restore the house.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:11 @ They gave it to the craftsmen and builders to buy hewn stone and timber for beams, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:12 @ And the men did the work faithfully. Their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah the Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to supervise. Others of the Levites, all of whom were skillful with instruments of music,

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:15 @ Then Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the LORD." And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:12 @ Then they removed the burnt offerings that they might give them to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the lay people, to offer to the LORD, as it is written in the Book of Moses. And so they did with the cattle.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:13 @ Also they roasted the Passover offerings with fire according to the ordinance; but the other holy offerings they boiled in pots, in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them quickly among all the lay people.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:15 @ And the singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their places, according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:16 @ So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, according to the command of King Josiah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:20 @ After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:21 @ But he sent messengers to him, saying, "What have I to do with you, king of Judah? I have not come against you this day, but against the house with which I have war; for God commanded me to make haste. Refrain from meddling with God, who is with me, lest He destroy you."

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:22 @ Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself so that he might fight with him, and did not heed the words of Necho from the mouth of God. So he came to fight in the Valley of Megiddo.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:23 @ And the archers shot King Josiah; and the king said to his servants, "Take me away, for I am severely wounded."

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:24 @ His servants therefore took him out of that chariot and put him in the second chariot that he had, and they brought him to Jerusalem. So he died, and was buried in one of the tombs of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:25 @ Jeremiah also lamented for Josiah. And to this day all the singing men and the singing women speak of Josiah in their lamentations. They made it a custom in Israel; and indeed they are written in the Laments.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:26 @ Now the rest of the acts of Josiah and his goodness, according to what was written in the Law of the LORD,

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:27 @ and his deeds from first to last, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:4 @ Then the king of Egypt made Jehoahaz's brother Eliakim king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother and carried him off to Egypt.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:6 @ Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in bronze fetters to carry him off to Babylon.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:7 @ Nebuchadnezzar also carried off some of the articles from the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:10 @ At the turn of the year King Nebuchadnezzar summoned him and took him to Babylon, with the costly articles from the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah, Jehoiakim's brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:13 @ And he also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear an oath by God; but he stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:14 @ Moreover all the leaders of the priests and the people transgressed more and more, according to all the abominations of the nations, and defiled the house of the LORD which He had consecrated in Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:15 @ And the LORD God of their fathers sent warnings to them by His messengers, rising up early and sending them, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:18 @ And all the articles from the house of God, great and small, the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king and of his leaders, all these he took to Babylon.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:20 @ And those who escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon, where they became servants to him and his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Persia,

nkjv@Ezra:1:8 @ and Cyrus king of Persia brought them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.

nkjv@Ezra:2:68 @ Some of the heads of the fathers' houses, when they came to the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God, to erect it in its place:

nkjv@Ezra:2:69 @ According to their ability, they gave to the treasury for the work sixty-one thousand gold drachmas, five thousand minas of silver, and one hundred priestly garments.

nkjv@Ezra:3:1 @ And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Ezra:3:2 @ Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brethren, arose and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God.

nkjv@Ezra:3:3 @ Though fear had come upon them because of the people of those countries, they set the altar on its bases; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, both the morning and evening burnt offerings.

nkjv@Ezra:3:5 @ Afterwards they offered the regular burnt offering, and those for New Moons and for all the appointed feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and those of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to the LORD.

nkjv@Ezra:3:6 @ From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD, although the foundation of the temple of the LORD had not been laid.

nkjv@Ezra:3:7 @ They also gave money to the masons and the carpenters, and food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre to bring cedar logs from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the permission which they had from Cyrus king of Persia.

nkjv@Ezra:3:9 @ Then Jeshua with his sons and brothers, Kadmiel with his sons, and the sons of Judah, arose as one to oversee those working on the house of God: the sons of Henadad with their sons and their brethren the Levites.

nkjv@Ezra:3:10 @ When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests stood in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the LORD, according to the ordinance of David king of Israel.

nkjv@Ezra:3:11 @ And they sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the LORD: "For He is good, For His mercy endures forever toward Israel." Then all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.

nkjv@Ezra:4:2 @ they came to Zerubbabel and the heads of the fathers' houses, and said to them, "Let us build with you, for we seek your God as you do; and we have sacrificed to Him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us here."

nkjv@Ezra:4:3 @ But Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of the heads of the fathers' houses of Israel said to them, "You may do nothing with us to build a house for our God; but we alone will build to the LORD God of Israel, as King Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us."

nkjv@Ezra:4:4 @ Then the people of the land tried to discourage the people of Judah. They troubled them in building,

nkjv@Ezra:4:5 @ and hired counselors against them to frustrate their purpose all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.

nkjv@Ezra:4:7 @ In the days of Artaxerxes also, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabel, and the rest of their companions wrote to Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the letter was written in Aramaic script, and translated into the Aramaic language.

nkjv@Ezra:4:8 @ Rehum the commander and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to King Artaxerxes in this fashion:

nkjv@Ezra:4:11 @ (This is a copy of the letter that they sent him) To King Artaxerxes from your servants, the men of the region beyond the River, and so forth:

nkjv@Ezra:4:12 @ Let it be known to the king that the Jews who came up from you have come to us at Jerusalem, and are building the rebellious and evil city, and are finishing its walls and repairing the foundations.

nkjv@Ezra:4:13 @ Let it now be known to the king that, if this city is built and the walls completed, they will not pay tax, tribute, or custom, and the king's treasury will be diminished.

nkjv@Ezra:4:14 @ Now because we receive support from the palace, it was not proper for us to see the king's dishonor; therefore we have sent and informed the king,

nkjv@Ezra:4:15 @ that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers. And you will find in the book of the records and know that this city is a rebellious city, harmful to kings and provinces, and that they have incited sedition within the city in former times, for which cause this city was destroyed.

nkjv@Ezra:4:17 @...king sent an answer: To Rehum...

nkjv@Ezra:4:18 @ The letter which you sent to us has been clearly read before me.

nkjv@Ezra:4:20 @ There have also been mighty kings over Jerusalem, who have ruled over all the region beyond the River; and tax, tribute, and custom were paid to them.

nkjv@Ezra:4:21 @ Now give the command to make these men cease, that this city may not be built until the command is given by me.

nkjv@Ezra:4:22 @ Take heed now that you do not fail to do this. Why should damage increase to the hurt of the kings?

nkjv@Ezra:4:23 @ Now when the copy of King Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem against the Jews, and by force of arms made them cease.

nkjv@Ezra:5:1 @ Then the prophet Haggai and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophets, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them.

nkjv@Ezra:5:2 @ So Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak rose up and began to build the house of God which is in Jerusalem; and the prophets of God were with them, helping them.

nkjv@Ezra:5:3 @ At the same time Tattenai the governor of the region beyond the River and Shethar-Boznai and their companions came to them and spoke thus to them: "Who has commanded you to build this temple and finish this wall?"

nkjv@Ezra:5:5 @ But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, so that they could not make them cease till a report could go to Darius. Then a written answer was returned concerning this matter.

nkjv@Ezra:5:6 @ This is a copy of the letter that Tattenai sent: The governor of the region beyond the River, and Shethar-Boznai, and his companions, the Persians who were in the region beyond the River, to Darius the king.

nkjv@Ezra:5:7 @ (They sent a letter to him, in which was written thus) To Darius the king: All peace.

nkjv@Ezra:5:8 @ Let it be known to the king that we went into the province of Judea, to the temple of the great God, which is being built with heavy stones, and timber is being laid in the walls; and this work goes on diligently and prospers in their hands.

nkjv@Ezra:5:9 @ Then we asked those elders, and spoke thus to them: "Who commanded you to build this temple and to finish these walls?"

nkjv@Ezra:5:10 @ We also asked them their names to inform you, that we might write the names of the men who were chief among them.

nkjv@Ezra:5:12 @ But because our fathers provoked the God of heaven to wrath, He gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this temple and carried the people away to Babylon.

nkjv@Ezra:5:13 @ However, in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus issued a decree to build this house of God.

nkjv@Ezra:5:14 @ Also, the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple that was in Jerusalem and carried into the temple of Babylon--those King Cyrus took from the temple of Babylon, and they were given to one named Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor.

nkjv@Ezra:5:15 @ And he said to him, "Take these articles; go, carry them to the temple site that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be rebuilt on its former site.'

nkjv@Ezra:5:17 @ Now therefore, if it seems good to the king, let a search be made in the king's treasure house, which is there in Babylon, whether it is so that a decree was issued by King Cyrus to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send us his pleasure concerning this matter.

nkjv@Ezra:6:5 @ Also let the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple which is in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and taken back to the temple which is in Jerusalem, each to its place; and deposit them in the house of God"--

nkjv@Ezra:6:8 @ Moreover I issue a decree as to what you shall do for the elders of these Jews, for the building of this house of God: Let the cost be paid at the king's expense from taxes on the region beyond the River; this is to be given immediately to these men, so that they are not hindered.

nkjv@Ezra:6:9 @ And whatever they need--young bulls, rams, and lambs for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the request of the priests who are in Jerusalem--let it be given them day by day without fail,

nkjv@Ezra:6:10 @ that they may offer sacrifices of sweet aroma to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and his sons.

nkjv@Ezra:6:12 @ And may the God who causes His name to dwell there destroy any king or people who put their hand to alter it, or to destroy this house of God which is in Jerusalem. I Darius issue a decree; let it be done diligently.

nkjv@Ezra:6:13 @ Then Tattenai, governor of the region beyond the River, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions diligently did according to what King Darius had sent.

nkjv@Ezra:6:14 @ So the elders of the Jews built, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the command of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.

nkjv@Ezra:6:17 @ And they offered sacrifices at the dedication of this house of God, one hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and as a sin offering for all Israel twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.

nkjv@Ezra:6:18 @ They assigned the priests to their divisions and the Levites to their divisions, over the service of God in Jerusalem, as it is written in the Book of Moses.

nkjv@Ezra:6:21 @ Then the children of Israel who had returned from the captivity ate together with all who had separated themselves from the filth of the nations of the land in order to seek the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@Ezra:6:22 @ And they kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with joy; for the LORD made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria toward them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

nkjv@Ezra:7:6 @ this Ezra came up from Babylon; and he was a skilled scribe in the Law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given. The king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him.

nkjv@Ezra:7:7 @ Some of the children of Israel, the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the Nethinim came up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes.

nkjv@Ezra:7:8 @ And Ezra came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.

nkjv@Ezra:7:9 @ On the first day of the first month he began his journey from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.

nkjv@Ezra:7:10 @ For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the Law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.

nkjv@Ezra:7:11 @ This is a copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave Ezra the priest, the scribe, expert in the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of His statutes to Israel:

nkjv@Ezra:7:12 @...Artaxerxes, king of kings, To Ezra...

nkjv@Ezra:7:13 @ I issue a decree that all those of the people of Israel and the priests and Levites in my realm, who volunteer to go up to Jerusalem, may go with you.

nkjv@Ezra:7:14 @ And whereas you are being sent by the king and his seven counselors to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, with regard to the Law of your God which is in your hand;

nkjv@Ezra:7:15 @ and whereas you are to carry the silver and gold which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose dwelling is in Jerusalem;

nkjv@Ezra:7:16 @ and whereas all the silver and gold that you may find in all the province of Babylon, along with the freewill offering of the people and the priests, are to be freely offered for the house of their God in Jerusalem--

nkjv@Ezra:7:17 @ now therefore, be careful to buy with this money bulls, rams, and lambs, with their grain offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them on the altar of the house of your God in Jerusalem.

nkjv@Ezra:7:18 @ And whatever seems good to you and your brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do it according to the will of your God.

nkjv@Ezra:7:19 @ Also the articles that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver in full before the God of Jerusalem.

nkjv@Ezra:7:20 @ And whatever more may be needed for the house of your God, which you may have occasion to provide, pay for it from the king's treasury.

nkjv@Ezra:7:21 @ And I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, issue a decree to all the treasurers who are in the region beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, may require of you, let it be done diligently,

nkjv@Ezra:7:22 @ up to one hundred talents of silver, one hundred kors of wheat, one hundred baths of wine, one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribed limit.

nkjv@Ezra:7:24 @ Also we inform you that it shall not be lawful to impose tax, tribute, or custom on any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God.

nkjv@Ezra:7:25 @ And you, Ezra, according to your God-given wisdom, set magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are in the region beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God; and teach those who do not know them.

nkjv@Ezra:7:27 @ Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem,

nkjv@Ezra:7:28 @ and has extended mercy to me before the king and his counselors, and before all the king's mighty princes. So I was encouraged, as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me; and I gathered leading men of Israel to go up with me.

nkjv@Ezra:8:15 @ Now I gathered them by the river that flows to Ahava, and we camped there three days. And I looked among the people and the priests, and found none of the sons of Levi there.

nkjv@Ezra:8:17 @ And I gave them a command for Iddo the chief man at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say to Iddo and his brethren the Nethinim at the place Casiphia--that they should bring us servants for the house of our God.

nkjv@Ezra:8:21 @ Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and our little ones and all our possessions.

nkjv@Ezra:8:22 @ For I was ashamed to request of the king an escort of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the road, because we had spoken to the king, saying, "The hand of our God is upon all those for good who seek Him, but His power and His wrath are against all those who forsake Him."

nkjv@Ezra:8:25 @ and weighed out to them the silver, the gold, and the articles, the offering for the house of our God which the king and his counselors and his princes, and all Israel who were present, had offered.

nkjv@Ezra:8:28 @ And I said to them, "You are holy to the LORD; the articles are holy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the LORD God of your fathers.

nkjv@Ezra:8:30 @ So the priests and the Levites received the silver and the gold and the articles by weight, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.

nkjv@Ezra:8:31 @ Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem. And the hand of our God was upon us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy and from ambush along the road.

nkjv@Ezra:8:32 @ So we came to Jerusalem, and stayed there three days.

nkjv@Ezra:8:35 @ The children of those who had been carried away captive, who had come from the captivity, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats as a sin offering. All this was a burnt offering to the LORD.

nkjv@Ezra:8:36 @ And they delivered the king's orders to the king's satraps and the governors in the region beyond the River. So they gave support to the people and the house of God.

nkjv@Ezra:9:1 @ When these things were done, the leaders came to me, saying, "The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, with respect to the abominations of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

nkjv@Ezra:9:4 @ Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel assembled to me, because of the transgression of those who had been carried away captive, and I sat astonished until the evening sacrifice.

nkjv@Ezra:9:5 @ At the evening sacrifice I arose from my fasting; and having torn my garment and my robe, I fell on my knees and spread out my hands to the LORD my God.

nkjv@Ezra:9:6 @ And I said: "O my God, I am too ashamed and humiliated to lift up my face to You, my God; for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has grown up to the heavens.

nkjv@Ezra:9:7 @ Since the days of our fathers to this day we have been very guilty, and for our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, and to humiliation, as it is this day.

nkjv@Ezra:9:8 @ And now for a little while grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and give us a measure of revival in our bondage.

nkjv@Ezra:9:9 @ For we were slaves. Yet our God did not forsake us in our bondage; but He extended mercy to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to revive us, to repair the house of our God, to rebuild its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem.

nkjv@Ezra:9:11 @ which You commanded by Your servants the prophets, saying, "The land which you are entering to possess is an unclean land, with the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, with their abominations which have filled it from one end to another with their impurity.

nkjv@Ezra:10:1 @ Now while Ezra was praying, and while he was confessing, weeping, and bowing down before the house of God, a very large assembly of men, women, and children gathered to him from Israel; for the people wept very bitterly.

nkjv@Ezra:10:2 @ And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, spoke up and said to Ezra, "We have trespassed against our God, and have taken pagan wives from the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope in Israel in spite of this.

nkjv@Ezra:10:5 @ Then Ezra arose, and made the leaders of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel swear an oath that they would do according to this word. So they swore an oath.

nkjv@Ezra:10:7 @ And they issued a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the descendants of the captivity, that they must gather at Jerusalem,

nkjv@Ezra:10:8 @ and that whoever would not come within three days, according to the instructions of the leaders and elders, all his property would be confiscated, and he himself would be separated from the assembly of those from the captivity.

nkjv@Ezra:10:11 @ Now therefore, make confession to the LORD God of your fathers, and do His will; separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the pagan wives."

nkjv@Ezra:10:13 @ But there are many people; it is the season for heavy rain, and we are not able to stand outside. Nor is this the work of one or two days, for there are many of us who have transgressed in this matter.

nkjv@Ezra:10:16 @ Then the descendants of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of the fathers' households, were set apart by the fathers' households, each of them by name; and they sat down on the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:1 @ And it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, that I took the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never been sad in his presence before.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:12 @ Then I arose in the night, I and a few men with me; I told no one what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem; nor was there any animal with me, except the one on which I rode.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:13 @ And I went out by night through the Valley Gate to the Serpent Well and the Refuse Gate, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down and its gates which were burned with fire.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:14 @ Then I went on to the Fountain Gate and to the King's Pool, but there was no room for the animal under me to pass.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:17 @ Then I said to them, "You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come and let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer be a reproach."

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:18 @ And I told them of the hand of my God which had been good upon me, and also of the king's words that he had spoken to me. So they said, "Let us rise up and build." Then they set their hands to this good work.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:20 @ So I answered them, and said to them, "The God of heaven Himself will prosper us; therefore we His servants will arise and build, but you have no heritage or right or memorial in Jerusalem."

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:2 @ Next to Eliashib the men of Jericho built. And next to them Zaccur the son of Imri built.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:4 @ And next to them Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz, made repairs. Next to them Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabel, made repairs. Next to them Zadok the son of Baana made repairs.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:5 @ Next to them the Tekoites made repairs; but their nobles did not put their shoulders to the work of their Lord.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:7 @ And next to them Melatiah the Gibeonite, Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon and Mizpah, repaired the residence of the governor of the region beyond the River.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:8 @ Next to him Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, one of the goldsmiths, made repairs. Also next to him Hananiah, one of the perfumers, made repairs; and they fortified Jerusalem as far as the Broad Wall.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:9 @ And next to them Rephaiah the son of Hur, leader of half the district of Jerusalem, made repairs.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:10 @ Next to them Jedaiah the son of Harumaph made repairs in front of his house. And next to him Hattush the son of Hashabniah made repairs.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:12 @ And next to him was Shallum the son of Hallohesh, leader of half the district of Jerusalem; he and his daughters made repairs.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:16 @ After him Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, leader of half the district of Beth Zur, made repairs as far as the place in front of the tombs of David, to the man-made pool, and as far as the House of the Mighty.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:17 @ After him the Levites, under Rehum the son of Bani, made repairs. Next to him Hashabiah, leader of half the district of Keilah, made repairs for his district.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:19 @ And next to him Ezer the son of Jeshua, the leader of Mizpah, repaired another section in front of the Ascent to the Armory at the buttress.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:20 @ After him Baruch the son of Zabbai carefully repaired the other section, from the buttress to the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:21 @ After him Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz, repaired another section, from the door of the house of Eliashib to the end of the house of Eliashib.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:24 @ After him Binnui the son of Henadad repaired another section, from the house of Azariah to the buttress, even as far as the corner.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:27 @ After them the Tekoites repaired another section, next to the great projecting tower, and as far as the wall of Ophel.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:4 @ Hear, O our God, for we are despised; turn their reproach on their own heads, and give them as plunder to a land of captivity!

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:5 @ Do not cover their iniquity, and do not let their sin be blotted out from before You; for they have provoked You to anger before the builders.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:6 @ So we built the wall, and the entire wall was joined together up to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:7 @...it happened, when Sanballat, Tobiah, the...

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:8 @ and all of them conspired together to come and attack Jerusalem and create confusion.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:9 @ Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and because of them we set a watch against them day and night.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:10 @ Then Judah said, "The strength of the laborers is failing, and there is so much rubbish that we are not able to build the wall."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:11 @ And our adversaries said, "They will neither know nor see anything, till we come into their midst and kill them and cause the work to cease."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:13 @ Therefore I positioned men behind the lower parts of the wall, at the openings; and I set the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:14 @ And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, to the leaders, and to the rest of the people, "Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:15 @ And it happened, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had brought their plot to nothing, that all of us returned to the wall, everyone to his work.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:19 @ Then I said to the nobles, the rulers, and the rest of the people, "The work is great and extensive, and we are separated far from one another on the wall.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:20 @ Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:22 @ At the same time I also said to the people, "Let each man and his servant stay at night in Jerusalem, that they may be our guard by night and a working party by day."

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:5 @ Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children; and indeed we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have been brought into slavery. It is not in our power to redeem them, for other men have our lands and vineyards."

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:7 @ After serious thought, I rebuked the nobles and rulers, and said to them, "Each of you is exacting usury from his brother." So I called a great assembly against them.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:8 @ And I said to them, "According to our ability we have redeemed our Jewish brethren who were sold to the nations. Now indeed, will you even sell your brethren? Or should they be sold to us?" Then they were silenced and found nothing to say.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:11 @ Restore now to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also a hundredth of the money and the grain, the new wine and the oil, that you have charged them."

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:12 @ So they said, "We will restore it, and will require nothing from them; we will do as you say." Then I called the priests, and required an oath from them that they would do according to this promise.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:13 @ Then I shook out the fold of my garment and said, "So may God shake out each man from his house, and from his property, who does not perform this promise. Even thus may he be shaken out and emptied." And all the assembly said, "Amen!" and praised the LORD. Then the people did according to this promise.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:14 @ Moreover, from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year until the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, twelve years, neither I nor my brothers ate the governor's provisions.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:17 @ And at my table were one hundred and fifty Jews and rulers, besides those who came to us from the nations around us.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:19 @ Remember me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:2 @ that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, "Come, let us meet together among the villages in the plain of Ono." But they thought to do me harm.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:3 @ So I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?"

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:5 @ Then Sanballat sent his servant to me as before, the fifth time, with an open letter in his hand.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:6 @ In it was written: It is reported among the nations, and Geshem says, that you and the Jews plan to rebel; therefore, according to these rumors, you are rebuilding the wall, that you may be their king.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:7 @ And you have also appointed prophets to proclaim concerning you at Jerusalem, saying, "There is a king in Judah!" Now these matters will be reported to the king. So come, therefore, and let us consult together.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:8 @ Then I sent to him, saying, "No such things as you say are being done, but you invent them in your own heart."

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:9 @ For they all were trying to make us afraid, saying, "Their hands will be weakened in the work, and it will not be done." Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:10 @ Afterward I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was a secret informer; and he said, "Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you; indeed, at night they will come to kill you."

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:11 @ And I said, "Should such a man as I flee? And who is there such as I who would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in!"

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:14 ...My God, remember Tobiah and...

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:17 @...and the letters of Tobiah came...

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:18 @ For many in Judah were pledged to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shechaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:19 @...my words to him. Tobiah sent...

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:2 @ that I gave the charge of Jerusalem to my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the leader of the citadel, for he was a faithful man and feared God more than many.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:3 @ And I said to them, "Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut and bar the doors; and appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, one at his watch station and another in front of his own house."

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:5 @ Then my God put it into my heart to gather the nobles, the rulers, and the people, that they might be registered by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of those who had come up in the first return, and found written in it:

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:6 @ These are the people of the province who came back from the captivity, of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, everyone to his city.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:65 @ And the governor said to them that they should not eat of the most holy things till a priest could consult with the Urim and Thummim.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:70 @ And some of the heads of the fathers' houses gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury one thousand gold drachmas, fifty basins, and five hundred and thirty priestly garments.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:71 @ Some of the heads of the fathers' houses gave to the treasury of the work twenty thousand gold drachmas, and two thousand two hundred silver minas.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:1 @ Now all the people gathered together as one man in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate; and they told Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded Israel.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:3 @ Then he read from it in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate from morning until midday, before the men and women and those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the Book of the Law.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:6 @ And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. Then all the people answered, "Amen, Amen!" while lifting up their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:7 @ Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, helped the people to understand the Law; and the people stood in their place.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:8 @ So they read distinctly from the book, in the Law of God; and they gave the sense, and helped them to understand the reading.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:9 @ And Nehemiah, who was the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, "This day is holy to the LORD your God; do not mourn nor weep." For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the Law.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:10 @ Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:12 @ And all the people went their way to eat and drink, to send portions and rejoice greatly, because they understood the words that were declared to them.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:13 @ Now on the second day the heads of the fathers' houses of all the people, with the priests and Levites, were gathered to Ezra the scribe, in order to understand the words of the Law.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:15 @ and that they should announce and proclaim in all their cities and in Jerusalem, saying, "Go out to the mountain, and bring olive branches, branches of oil trees, myrtle branches, palm branches, and branches of leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written."

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:18 @ Also day by day, from the first day until the last day, he read from the Book of the Law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day there was a sacred assembly, according to the prescribed manner.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:4 @ Then Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani stood on the stairs of the Levites and cried out with a loud voice to the LORD their God.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:8 @...a covenant with him To give...-- To give it to his descendants. You have performed Your words, For You are righteous.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:26 @...who testified against them To turn...

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:27 @ Therefore You delivered them into the hand of their enemies, Who oppressed them; And in the time of their trouble, When they cried to You, You heard from heaven; And according to Your abundant mercies You gave them deliverers who saved them From the hand of their enemies.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:28 @ "But after they had rest, They again did evil before You. Therefore You left them in the hand of their enemies, So that they had dominion over them; Yet when they returned and cried out to You, You heard from heaven; And many times You delivered them according to Your mercies,

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:29 @ And testified against them, That You might bring them back to Your law. Yet they acted proudly, And did not heed Your commandments, But sinned against Your judgments, "Which if a man does, he shall live by them.'

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:37 @ And it yields much increase to the kings You have set over us, Because of our sins; Also they have dominion over our bodies and our cattle At their pleasure; And we are in great distress.

nkjv@Nehemiah:10:28 @ Now the rest of the people--the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and all those who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the Law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, everyone who had knowledge and understanding--

nkjv@Nehemiah:10:29 @ these joined with their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse and an oath to walk in God's Law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and His ordinances and His statutes:

nkjv@Nehemiah:10:30 @ We would not give our daughters as wives to the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons;

nkjv@Nehemiah:10:31 @ if the peoples of the land brought wares or any grain to sell on the Sabbath day, we would not buy it from them on the Sabbath, or on a holy day; and we would forego the seventh year's produce and the exacting of every debt.

nkjv@Nehemiah:10:32 @ Also we made ordinances for ourselves, to exact from ourselves yearly one-third of a shekel for the service of the house of our God:

nkjv@Nehemiah:10:33 @ for the showbread, for the regular grain offering, for the regular burnt offering of the Sabbaths, the New Moons, and the set feasts; for the holy things, for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and all the work of the house of our God.

nkjv@Nehemiah:10:34 @ We cast lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for bringing the wood offering into the house of our God, according to our fathers' houses, at the appointed times year by year, to burn on the altar of the LORD our God as it is written in the Law.

nkjv@Nehemiah:10:35 @ And we made ordinances to bring the firstfruits of our ground and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, to the house of the LORD;

nkjv@Nehemiah:10:36 @ to bring the firstborn of our sons and our cattle, as it is written in the Law, and the firstborn of our herds and our flocks, to the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God;

nkjv@Nehemiah:10:37 @ to bring the firstfruits of our dough, our offerings, the fruit from all kinds of trees, the new wine and oil, to the priests, to the storerooms of the house of our God; and to bring the tithes of our land to the Levites, for the Levites should receive the tithes in all our farming communities.

nkjv@Nehemiah:10:38 @ And the priest, the descendant of Aaron, shall be with the Levites when the Levites receive tithes; and the Levites shall bring up a tenth of the tithes to the house of our God, to the rooms of the storehouse.

nkjv@Nehemiah:10:39 @ For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the grain, of the new wine and the oil, to the storerooms where the articles of the sanctuary are, where the priests who minister and the gatekeepers and the singers are; and we will not neglect the house of our God.

nkjv@Nehemiah:11:1 @ Now the leaders of the people dwelt at Jerusalem; the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to dwell in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine-tenths were to dwell in other cities.

nkjv@Nehemiah:11:2 @ And the people blessed all the men who willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.

nkjv@Nehemiah:11:30 @ Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages; in Lachish and its fields; in Azekah and its villages. They dwelt from Beersheba to the Valley of Hinnom.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:24 @ And the heads of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers across from them, to praise and give thanks, group alternating with group, according to the command of David the man of God.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:27 @ Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought out the Levites in all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings and singing, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:31 @ So I brought the leaders of Judah up on the wall, and appointed two large thanksgiving choirs. One went to the right hand on the wall toward the Refuse Gate.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:44 @ And at the same time some were appointed over the rooms of the storehouse for the offerings, the firstfruits, and the tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who ministered.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:45 @ Both the singers and the gatekeepers kept the charge of their God and the charge of the purification, according to the command of David and Solomon his son.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:46 @ For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:2 @ because they had not met the children of Israel with bread and water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them. However, our God turned the curse into a blessing.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:5 @ And he had prepared for him a large room, where previously they had stored the grain offerings, the frankincense, the articles, the tithes of grain, the new wine and oil, which were commanded to be given to the Levites and singers and gatekeepers, and the offerings for the priests.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:6 @ But during all this I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had returned to the king. Then after certain days I obtained leave from the king,

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:7 @...Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in...

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:9 @ Then I commanded them to cleanse the rooms; and I brought back into them the articles of the house of God, with the grain offering and the frankincense.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:10 @ I also realized that the portions for the Levites had not been given them; for each of the Levites and the singers who did the work had gone back to his field.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:12 @ Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the storehouse.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:13 @ And I appointed as treasurers over the storehouse Shelemiah the priest and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah; and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were considered faithful, and their task was to distribute to their brethren.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:16 @ Men of Tyre dwelt there also, who brought in fish and all kinds of goods, and sold them on the Sabbath to the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:17 @ Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, "What evil thing is this that you do, by which you profane the Sabbath day?

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:19 @ So it was, at the gates of Jerusalem, as it began to be dark before the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and charged that they must not be opened till after the Sabbath. Then I posted some of my servants at the gates, so that no burdens would be brought in on the Sabbath day.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:21 @ Then I warned them, and said to them, "Why do you spend the night around the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you!" From that time on they came no more on the Sabbath.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:22 @ And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should go and guard the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of Your mercy!

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:24 @ And half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod, and could not speak the language of Judah, but spoke according to the language of one or the other people.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:25 @ So I contended with them and cursed them, struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, "You shall not give your daughters as wives to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons or yourselves.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:26 @ Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations there was no king like him, who was beloved of his God; and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless pagan women caused even him to sin.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:30 @ Thus I cleansed them of everything pagan. I also assigned duties to the priests and the Levites, each to his service,

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:31 @ and to bringing the wood offering and the firstfruits at appointed times. Remember me, O my God, for good!

nkjv@Esther:1:1 @ Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus (this was the Ahasuerus who reigned over one hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India to Ethiopia),

nkjv@Esther:1:5 @ And when these days were completed, the king made a feast lasting seven days for all the people who were present in Shushan the citadel, from great to small, in the court of the garden of the king's palace.

nkjv@Esther:1:7 @ And they served drinks in golden vessels, each vessel being different from the other, with royal wine in abundance, according to the generosity of the king.

nkjv@Esther:1:8 @ In accordance with the law, the drinking was not compulsory; for so the king had ordered all the officers of his household, that they should do according to each man's pleasure.

nkjv@Esther:1:9 @ Queen Vashti also made a feast for the women in the royal palace which belonged to King Ahasuerus.

nkjv@Esther:1:11 @ to bring Queen Vashti before the king, wearing her royal crown, in order to show her beauty to the people and the officials, for she was beautiful to behold.

nkjv@Esther:1:12 @ But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's command brought by his eunuchs; therefore the king was furious, and his anger burned within him.

nkjv@Esther:1:13 @ Then the king said to the wise men who understood the times (for this was the king's manner toward all who knew law and justice,

nkjv@Esther:1:14 @ those closest to him being Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who had access to the king's presence, and who ranked highest in the kingdom):

nkjv@Esther:1:15 @ "What shall we do to Queen Vashti, according to law, because she did not obey the command of King Ahasuerus brought to her by the eunuchs?"

nkjv@Esther:1:17 @ For the queen's behavior will become known to all women, so that they will despise their husbands in their eyes, when they report, "King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought in before him, but she did not come.'

nkjv@Esther:1:18 @ This very day the noble ladies of Persia and Media will say to all the king's officials that they have heard of the behavior of the queen. Thus there will be excessive contempt and wrath.

nkjv@Esther:1:19 @ If it pleases the king, let a royal decree go out from him, and let it be recorded in the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it will not be altered, that Vashti shall come no more before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal position to another who is better than she.

nkjv@Esther:1:21 @ And the reply pleased the king and the princes, and the king did according to the word of Memucan.

nkjv@Esther:1:22 @ Then he sent letters to all the king's provinces, to each province in its own script, and to every people in their own language, that each man should be master in his own house, and speak in the language of his own people.

nkjv@Esther:2:3 @ and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather all the beautiful young virgins to Shushan the citadel, into the women's quarters, under the custody of Hegai the king's eunuch, custodian of the women.

nkjv@Esther:2:8 @ So it was, when the king's command and decree were heard, and when many young women were gathered at Shushan the citadel, under the custody of Hegai, that Esther also was taken to the king's palace, into the care of Hegai the custodian of the women.

nkjv@Esther:2:9 @ Now the young woman pleased him, and she obtained his favor; so he readily gave beauty preparations to her, besides her allowance. Then seven choice maidservants were provided for her from the king's palace, and he moved her and her maidservants to the best place in the house of the women.

nkjv@Esther:2:10 @ Esther had not revealed her people or family, for Mordecai had charged her not to reveal it.

nkjv@Esther:2:11 @ And every day Mordecai paced in front of the court of the women's quarters, to learn of Esther's welfare and what was happening to her.

nkjv@Esther:2:12 @ Each young woman's turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after she had completed twelve months' preparation, according to the regulations for the women, for thus were the days of their preparation apportioned: six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes and preparations for beautifying women.

nkjv@Esther:2:13 @ Thus prepared, each young woman went to the king, and she was given whatever she desired to take with her from the women's quarters to the king's palace.

nkjv@Esther:2:14 @ In the evening she went, and in the morning she returned to the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's eunuch who kept the concubines. She would not go in to the king again unless the king delighted in her and called for her by name.

nkjv@Esther:2:15 @ Now when the turn came for Esther the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as his daughter, to go in to the king, she requested nothing but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the custodian of the women, advised. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all who saw her.

nkjv@Esther:2:16 @ So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, into his royal palace, in the tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

nkjv@Esther:2:18 @ Then the king made a great feast, the Feast of Esther, for all his officials and servants; and he proclaimed a holiday in the provinces and gave gifts according to the generosity of a king.

nkjv@Esther:2:21 @ In those days, while Mordecai sat within the king's gate, two of the king's eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, doorkeepers, became furious and sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

nkjv@Esther:2:22 @ So the matter became known to Mordecai, who told Queen Esther, and Esther informed the king in Mordecai's name.

nkjv@Esther:3:2 @ And all the king's servants who were within the king's gate bowed and paid homage to Haman, for so the king had commanded concerning him. But Mordecai would not bow or pay homage.

nkjv@Esther:3:3 @ Then the king's servants who were within the king's gate said to Mordecai, "Why do you transgress the king's command?"

nkjv@Esther:3:4 @ Now it happened, when they spoke to him daily and he would not listen to them, that they told it to Haman, to see whether Mordecai's words would stand; for Mordecai had told them that he was a Jew.

nkjv@Esther:3:6 @ But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him of the people of Mordecai. Instead, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus--the people of Mordecai.

nkjv@Esther:3:7 @ In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur (that is, the lot), before Haman to determine the day and the month, until it fell on the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.

nkjv@Esther:3:8 @ Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from all other people's, and they do not keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not fitting for the king to let them remain.

nkjv@Esther:3:9 @ If it pleases the king, let a decree be written that they be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who do the work, to bring it into the king's treasuries."

nkjv@Esther:3:10 @ So the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.

nkjv@Esther:3:11 @ And the king said to Haman, "The money and the people are given to you, to do with them as seems good to you."

nkjv@Esther:3:12 @ Then the king's scribes were called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and a decree was written according to all that Haman commanded--to the king's satraps, to the governors who were over each province, to the officials of all people, to every province according to its script, and to every people in their language. In the name of King Ahasuerus it was written, and sealed with the king's signet ring.

nkjv@Esther:3:13 @ And the letters were sent by couriers into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and to plunder their possessions.

nkjv@Esther:3:14 @ A copy of the document was to be issued as law in every province, being published for all people, that they should be ready for that day.

nkjv@Esther:3:15 @ The couriers went out, hastened by the king's command; and the decree was proclaimed in Shushan the citadel. So the king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Shushan was perplexed.

nkjv@Esther:4:4 @ So Esther's maids and eunuchs came and told her, and the queen was deeply distressed. Then she sent garments to clothe Mordecai and take his sackcloth away from him, but he would not accept them.

nkjv@Esther:4:5 @ Then Esther called Hathach, one of the king's eunuchs whom he had appointed to attend her, and she gave him a command concerning Mordecai, to learn what and why this was.

nkjv@Esther:4:6 @ So Hathach went out to Mordecai in the city square that was in front of the king's gate.

nkjv@Esther:4:7 @ And Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and the sum of money that Haman had promised to pay into the king's treasuries to destroy the Jews.

nkjv@Esther:4:8 @ He also gave him a copy of the written decree for their destruction, which was given at Shushan, that he might show it to Esther and explain it to her, and that he might command her to go in to the king to make supplication to him and plead before him for her people.

nkjv@Esther:4:10 @ Then Esther spoke to Hathach, and gave him a command for Mordecai:

nkjv@Esther:4:11 @ "All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that any man or woman who goes into the inner court to the king, who has not been called, he has but one law: put all to death, except the one to whom the king holds out the golden scepter, that he may live. Yet I myself have not been called to go in to the king these thirty days."

nkjv@Esther:4:13 @ And Mordecai told them to answer Esther: "Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king's palace any more than all the other Jews.

nkjv@Esther:4:14 @ For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

nkjv@Esther:4:15 @ Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai:

nkjv@Esther:4:16 @ "Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!"

nkjv@Esther:4:17 @ So Mordecai went his way and did according to all that Esther commanded him.

nkjv@Esther:5:2 @ So it was, when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, that she found favor in his sight, and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther went near and touched the top of the scepter.

nkjv@Esther:5:3 @ And the king said to her, "What do you wish, Queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given to you--up to half the kingdom!"

nkjv@Esther:5:4 @ So Esther answered, "If it pleases the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him."

nkjv@Esther:5:5 @ Then the king said, "Bring Haman quickly, that he may do as Esther has said." So the king and Haman went to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

nkjv@Esther:5:6 @ At the banquet of wine the king said to Esther, "What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request, up to half the kingdom? It shall be done!"

nkjv@Esther:5:8 @ If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, then let the king and Haman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said."

nkjv@Esther:5:12 @ Moreover Haman said, "Besides, Queen Esther invited no one but me to come in with the king to the banquet that she prepared; and tomorrow I am again invited by her, along with the king.

nkjv@Esther:5:14 @ Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, "Let a gallows be made, fifty cubits high, and in the morning suggest to the king that Mordecai be hanged on it; then go merrily with the king to the banquet." And the thing pleased Haman; so he had the gallows made.

nkjv@Esther:6:1 @ That night the king could not sleep. So one was commanded to bring the book of the records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.

nkjv@Esther:6:2 @ And it was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, the doorkeepers who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

nkjv@Esther:6:4 @ So the king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king's palace to suggest that the king hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

nkjv@Esther:6:5 @ The king's servants said to him, "Haman is there, standing in the court." And the king said, "Let him come in."

nkjv@Esther:6:6 @ So Haman came in, and the king asked him, "What shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honor?" Now Haman thought in his heart, "Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?"

nkjv@Esther:6:7 @ And Haman answered the king, "For the man whom the king delights to honor,

nkjv@Esther:6:9 @ Then let this robe and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that he may array the man whom the king delights to honor. Then parade him on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him: "Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!'

nkjv@Esther:6:10 @ Then the king said to Haman, "Hurry, take the robe and the horse, as you have suggested, and do so for Mordecai the Jew who sits within the king's gate! Leave nothing undone of all that you have spoken."

nkjv@Esther:6:11 @ So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai and led him on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him, "Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!"

nkjv@Esther:6:12 @ Afterward Mordecai went back to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered.

nkjv@Esther:6:13 @ When Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him, his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, "If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him but will surely fall before him."

nkjv@Esther:6:14 @ While they were still talking with him, the king's eunuchs came, and hastened to bring Haman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.

nkjv@Esther:7:1 @ So the king and Haman went to dine with Queen Esther.

nkjv@Esther:7:2 @ And on the second day, at the banquet of wine, the king again said to Esther, "What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request, up to half the kingdom? It shall be done!"

nkjv@Esther:7:4 @ For we have been sold, my people and I, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. Had we been sold as male and female slaves, I would have held my tongue, although the enemy could never compensate for the king's loss."

nkjv@Esther:7:5 @ So King Ahasuerus answered and said to Queen Esther, "Who is he, and where is he, who would dare presume in his heart to do such a thing?"

nkjv@Esther:7:8 @ When the king returned from the palace garden to the place of the banquet of wine, Haman had fallen across the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, "Will he also assault the queen while I am in the house?" As the word left the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

nkjv@Esther:7:9 @ Now Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, said to the king, "Look! The gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good on the king's behalf, is standing at the house of Haman." Then the king said, "Hang him on it!"

nkjv@Esther:8:1 @ On that day King Ahasuerus gave Queen Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her.

nkjv@Esther:8:2 @ So the king took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai; and Esther appointed Mordecai over the house of Haman.

nkjv@Esther:8:3 @ Now Esther spoke again to the king, fell down at his feet, and implored him with tears to counteract the evil of Haman the Agagite, and the scheme which he had devised against the Jews.

nkjv@Esther:8:5 @ and said, "If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight and the thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to annihilate the Jews who are in all the king's provinces.

nkjv@Esther:8:6 @ For how can I endure to see the evil that will come to my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my countrymen?"

nkjv@Esther:8:7 @ Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and Mordecai the Jew, "Indeed, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows because he tried to lay his hand on the Jews.

nkjv@Esther:8:9 @ So the king's scribes were called at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on the twenty-third day; and it was written, according to all that Mordecai commanded, to the Jews, the satraps, the governors, and the princes of the provinces from India to Ethiopia, one hundred and twenty-seven provinces in all, to every province in its own script, to every people in their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language.

nkjv@Esther:8:11 @ By these letters the king permitted the Jews who were in every city to gather together and protect their lives--to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the forces of any people or province that would assault them, both little children and women, and to plunder their possessions,

nkjv@Esther:8:13 @ A copy of the document was to be issued as a decree in every province and published for all people, so that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

nkjv@Esther:9:1 @ Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, the time came for the king's command and his decree to be executed. On the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, the opposite occurred, in that the Jews themselves overpowered those who hated them.

nkjv@Esther:9:2 @ The Jews gathered together in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm. And no one could withstand them, because fear of them fell upon all people.

nkjv@Esther:9:11 @ On that day the number of those who were killed in Shushan the citadel was brought to the king.

nkjv@Esther:9:12 @ And the king said to Queen Esther, "The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the citadel, and the ten sons of Haman. What have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? Now what is your petition? It shall be granted to you. Or what is your further request? It shall be done."

nkjv@Esther:9:13 @ Then Esther said, "If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do again tomorrow according to today's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged on the gallows."

nkjv@Esther:9:14 @ So the king commanded this to be done; the decree was issued in Shushan, and they hanged Haman's ten sons.

nkjv@Esther:9:19 @ Therefore the Jews of the villages who dwelt in the unwalled towns celebrated the fourteenth day of the month of Adar with gladness and feasting, as a holiday, and for sending presents to one another.

nkjv@Esther:9:20 @ And Mordecai wrote these things and sent letters to all the Jews, near and far, who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus,

nkjv@Esther:9:21 @ to establish among them that they should celebrate yearly the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar,

nkjv@Esther:9:22 @ as the days on which the Jews had rest from their enemies, as the month which was turned from sorrow to joy for them, and from mourning to a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and joy, of sending presents to one another and gifts to the poor.

nkjv@Esther:9:23 @ So the Jews accepted the custom which they had begun, as Mordecai had written to them,

nkjv@Esther:9:24 @ because Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to annihilate them, and had cast Pur (that is, the lot), to consume them and destroy them;

nkjv@Esther:9:26 @ So they called these days Purim, after the name Pur. Therefore, because of all the words of this letter, what they had seen concerning this matter, and what had happened to them,

nkjv@Esther:9:27 @ the Jews established and imposed it upon themselves and their descendants and all who would join them, that without fail they should celebrate these two days every year, according to the written instructions and according to the prescribed time,

nkjv@Esther:9:28 @ that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city, that these days of Purim should not fail to be observed among the Jews, and that the memory of them should not perish among their descendants.

nkjv@Esther:9:29 @ Then Queen Esther, the daughter of Abihail, with Mordecai the Jew, wrote with full authority to confirm this second letter about Purim.

nkjv@Esther:9:30 @ And Mordecai sent letters to all the Jews, to the one hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,

nkjv@Esther:9:31 @ to confirm these days of Purim at their appointed time, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had prescribed for them, and as they had decreed for themselves and their descendants concerning matters of their fasting and lamenting.

nkjv@Esther:10:2 @ Now all the acts of his power and his might, and the account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

nkjv@Esther:10:3 @ For Mordecai the Jew was second to King Ahasuerus, and was great among the Jews and well received by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.

nkjv@Job:1:2 @ And seven sons and three daughters were born to him.

nkjv@Job:1:4 @ And his sons would go and feast in their houses, each on his appointed day, and would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.

nkjv@Job:1:5 @ So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." Thus Job did regularly.

nkjv@Job:1:6 @ Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.

nkjv@Job:1:7 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" So Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it."

nkjv@Job:1:8 @ Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?"

nkjv@Job:1:11 @ But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!"

nkjv@Job:1:12 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person." So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.

nkjv@Job:1:14 @ and a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the donkeys feeding beside them,

nkjv@Job:1:15 @ when the Sabeans raided them and took them away--indeed they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"

nkjv@Job:1:16 @ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"

nkjv@Job:1:17 @ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels and took them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"

nkjv@Job:1:19 @ and suddenly a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"

nkjv@Job:1:20 @ Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped.

nkjv@Job:2:1 @ Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

nkjv@Job:2:2 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it."

nkjv@Job:2:3 @ Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause."

nkjv@Job:2:5 @ But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will surely curse You to Your face!"

nkjv@Job:2:6 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life."

nkjv@Job:2:7 @ So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.

nkjv@Job:2:8 @ And he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself while he sat in the midst of the ashes.

nkjv@Job:2:9 @ Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!"

nkjv@Job:2:10 @ But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

nkjv@Job:2:11 @ Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place--Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come and mourn with him, and to comfort him.

nkjv@Job:2:13 @ So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:17 @ And I set my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @ I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:15 @ So I said in my heart, "As it happens to the fool, It also happens to me, And why was I then more wise?" Then I said in my heart, "This also is vanity."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:16 @ For there is no more remembrance of the wise than of the fool forever, Since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come. And how does a wise man die? As the fool!

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @ Therefore I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me, for all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @ Then I hated all my labor in which I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who will come after me.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:21 @ For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, knowledge, and skill; yet he must leave his heritage to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:26 @ For God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in His sight; but to the sinner He gives the work of gathering and collecting, that he may give to him who is good before God. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @ To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:2 @ A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:3 @ A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:4 @ A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:5 @ A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:6 @ A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:7 @ A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:8 @ A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:10 @ I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @ He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:12 @ I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives,

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:14 @ I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:15 @ That which is has already been, And what is to be has already been; And God requires an account of what is past.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:19 @ For what happens to the sons of men also happens to animals; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other. Surely, they all have one breath; man has no advantage over animals, for all is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:20 @ All go to one place: all are from the dust, and all return to dust.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:21 @ Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:22 @ So I perceived that nothing is better than that a man should rejoice in his own works, for that is his heritage. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @ There is one alone, without companion: He has neither son nor brother. Yet there is no end to all his labors, Nor is his eye satisfied with riches. But he never asks, "For whom do I toil and deprive myself of good?" This also is vanity and a grave misfortune.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:10 @ For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:14 @ For he comes out of prison to be king, Although he was born poor in his kingdom.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:1 @ Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:4 @ When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it; For He has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you have vowed--

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:5 @ Better not to vow than to vow and not pay.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:6 @ Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:11 @ When goods increase, They increase who eat them; So what profit have the owners Except to see them with their eyes?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:12 @ The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, Whether he eats little or much; But the abundance of the rich will not permit him to sleep.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:13 @ There is a severe evil which I have seen under the sun: Riches kept for their owner to his hurt.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:15 @...naked shall he return, To go...

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:18 @ Here is what I have seen: It is good and fitting for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him; for it is his heritage.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:19 @ As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor--this is the gift of God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @ A man to whom God has given riches and wealth and honor, so that he lacks nothing for himself of all he desires; yet God does not give him power to eat of it, but a foreigner consumes it. This is vanity, and it is an evil affliction.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:6 @ even if he lives a thousand years twice--but has not seen goodness. Do not all go to one place?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:8 @ For what more has the wise man than the fool? What does the poor man have, Who knows how to walk before the living?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:2 @ Better to go to the house of mourning Than to go to the house of feasting, For that is the end of all men; And the living will take it to heart.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:5 @ It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise Than for a man to hear the song of fools.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:9 @ Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, For anger rests in the bosom of fools.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:11 @ Wisdom is good with an inheritance, And profitable to those who see the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:12 @ For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:21 @ Also do not take to heart everything people say, Lest you hear your servant cursing you.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:25 @...the reason of things, To know...

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:27 @ "Here is what I have found," says the Preacher, "Adding one thing to the other to find out the reason,

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:3 @ Do not be hasty to go from his presence. Do not take your stand for an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:4 @ Where the word of a king is, there is power; And who may say to him, "What are you doing?"

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:8 @ No one has power over the spirit to retain the spirit, And no one has power in the day of death. There is no release from that war, And wickedness will not deliver those who are given to it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:9 @ All this I have seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun: There is a time in which one man rules over another to his own hurt.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @ Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:14 @ There is a vanity which occurs on earth, that there are just men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @ So I commended enjoyment, because a man has nothing better under the sun than to eat, drink, and be merry; for this will remain with him in his labor all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:16 @ When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that is done on earth, even though one sees no sleep day or night,

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:17 @ then I saw all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. For though a man labors to discover it, yet he will not find it; moreover, though a wise man attempts to know it, he will not be able to find it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @...clean, and the unclean; To him...

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @ This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: that one thing happens to all. Truly the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:4 @ But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:10 @ Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @ I returned and saw under the sun that-- The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @ This wisdom I have also seen under the sun, and it seemed great to me:

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @ Dead flies putrefy the perfumer's ointment, And cause it to give off a foul odor; So does a little folly to one respected for wisdom and honor.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:14 @ A fool also multiplies words. No man knows what is to be; Who can tell him what will be after him?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:15 @ The labor of fools wearies them, For they do not even know how to go to the city!

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:16 @ Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, And your princes feast in the morning!

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:2 @ Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, For you do not know what evil will be on the earth.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:3 @ If the clouds are full of rain, They empty themselves upon the earth; And if a tree falls to the south or the north, In the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:7 @ Truly the light is sweet, And it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:5 @ Also they are afraid of height, And of terrors in the way; When the almond tree blossoms, The grasshopper is a burden, And desire fails. For man goes to his eternal home, And the mourners go about the streets.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:7 @ Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:10 @ The Preacher sought to find acceptable words; and what was written was upright--words of truth.

nkjv@Daniel:1:1 @ In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.

nkjv@Daniel:1:2 @ And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the articles of the house of God, which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the articles into the treasure house of his god.

nkjv@Daniel:1:3 @ Then the king instructed Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, to bring some of the children of Israel and some of the king's descendants and some of the nobles,

nkjv@Daniel:1:4 @ young men in whom there was no blemish, but good-looking, gifted in all wisdom, possessing knowledge and quick to understand, who had ability to serve in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the language and literature of the Chaldeans.

nkjv@Daniel:1:7 @ To them the chief of the eunuchs gave names: he gave Daniel the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abed-Nego.

nkjv@Daniel:1:10 @ And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, "I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and drink. For why should he see your faces looking worse than the young men who are your age? Then you would endanger my head before the king."

nkjv@Daniel:1:11 @ So Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

nkjv@Daniel:1:12 @ "Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink.

nkjv@Daniel:1:16 @ Thus the steward took away their portion of delicacies and the wine that they were to drink, and gave them vegetables.

nkjv@Daniel:2:2 @ Then the king gave the command to call the magicians, the astrologers, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.

nkjv@Daniel:2:3 @ And the king said to them, "I have had a dream, and my spirit is anxious to know the dream."

nkjv@Daniel:2:4 @ Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic, "O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will give the interpretation."

nkjv@Daniel:2:5 @ The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, "My decision is firm: if you do not make known the dream to me, and its interpretation, you shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made an ash heap.

nkjv@Daniel:2:9 @ if you do not make known the dream to me, there is only one decree for you! For you have agreed to speak lying and corrupt words before me till the time has changed. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can give me its interpretation."

nkjv@Daniel:2:11 @ It is a difficult thing that the king requests, and there is no other who can tell it to the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh."

nkjv@Daniel:2:12 @ For this reason the king was angry and very furious, and gave the command to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

nkjv@Daniel:2:13 @ So the decree went out, and they began killing the wise men; and they sought Daniel and his companions, to kill them.

nkjv@Daniel:2:14 @ Then with counsel and wisdom Daniel answered Arioch, the captain of the king's guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon;

nkjv@Daniel:2:15 @ he answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, "Why is the decree from the king so urgent?" Then Arioch made the decision known to Daniel.

nkjv@Daniel:2:16 @ So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him time, that he might tell the king the interpretation.

nkjv@Daniel:2:17 @ Then Daniel went to his house, and made the decision known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,

nkjv@Daniel:2:19 @ Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

nkjv@Daniel:2:21 @ And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.

nkjv@Daniel:2:23 @ "I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers; You have given me wisdom and might, And have now made known to me what we asked of You, For You have made known to us the king's demand."

nkjv@Daniel:2:24 @ Therefore Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said thus to him: "Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon; take me before the king, and I will tell the king the interpretation."

nkjv@Daniel:2:25 @ Then Arioch quickly brought Daniel before the king, and said thus to him, "I have found a man of the captives of Judah, who will make known to the king the interpretation."

nkjv@Daniel:2:26 @ The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, "Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?"

nkjv@Daniel:2:27 @ Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, "The secret which the king has demanded, the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, and the soothsayers cannot declare to the king.

nkjv@Daniel:2:28 @ But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed, were these:

nkjv@Daniel:2:29 @ As for you, O king, thoughts came to your mind while on your bed, about what would come to pass after this; and He who reveals secrets has made known to you what will be.

nkjv@Daniel:2:30 @ But as for me, this secret has not been revealed to me because I have more wisdom than anyone living, but for our sakes who make known the interpretation to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.

nkjv@Daniel:2:39 @ But after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours; then another, a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.

nkjv@Daniel:2:43 @ As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.

nkjv@Daniel:2:44 @ And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

nkjv@Daniel:2:45 @ Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold--the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure."

nkjv@Daniel:2:46 @ Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, prostrate before Daniel, and commanded that they should present an offering and incense to him.

nkjv@Daniel:3:2 @ And King Nebuchadnezzar sent word to gather together the satraps, the administrators, the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

nkjv@Daniel:3:9 @ They spoke and said to King Nebuchadnezzar, "O king, live forever!

nkjv@Daniel:3:12 @ There are certain Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; these men, O king, have not paid due regard to you. They do not serve your gods or worship the gold image which you have set up."

nkjv@Daniel:3:13 @ Then Nebuchadnezzar, in rage and fury, gave the command to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. So they brought these men before the king.

nkjv@Daniel:3:14 @ Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying to them, "Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the gold image which I have set up?

nkjv@Daniel:3:16 @ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.

nkjv@Daniel:3:17 @ If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.

nkjv@Daniel:3:18 @ But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up."

nkjv@Daniel:3:20 @ And he commanded certain mighty men of valor who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

nkjv@Daniel:3:24 @ Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, "Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?" They answered and said to the king, "True, O king."

nkjv@Daniel:4:1 ...Nebuchadnezzar the king, To all...

nkjv@Daniel:4:2 @ I thought it good to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked for me.

nkjv@Daniel:4:3 @ How great are His signs, And how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And His dominion is from generation to generation.

nkjv@Daniel:4:6 @ Therefore I issued a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.

nkjv@Daniel:4:7 @ Then the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers came in, and I told them the dream; but they did not make known to me its interpretation.

nkjv@Daniel:4:8 @ But at last Daniel came before me (his name is Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god; in him is the Spirit of the Holy God), and I told the dream before him, saying:

nkjv@Daniel:4:9 @ "Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the Spirit of the Holy God is in you, and no secret troubles you, explain to me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.

nkjv@Daniel:4:11 @ The tree grew and became strong; Its height reached to the heavens, And it could be seen to the ends of all the earth.

nkjv@Daniel:4:17 @ "This decision is by the decree of the watchers, And the sentence by the word of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, Gives it to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of men.'

They shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, till you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.

nkjv@Daniel:4:26 @ "And inasmuch as they gave the command to leave the stump and roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be assured to you, after you come to know that Heaven rules.

nkjv@Daniel:4:27 @ Therefore, O king, let my advice be acceptable to you; break off your sins by being righteous, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your prosperity."

nkjv@Daniel:4:31 @ While the word was still in the king's mouth, a voice fell from heaven: "King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you!

nkjv@Daniel:4:32 @ And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses."

nkjv@Daniel:4:34 @ And at the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever: For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom is from generation to generation.

nkjv@Daniel:4:35 @ All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven And among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, "What have You done?"

nkjv@Daniel:4:36 @ At the same time my reason returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and splendor returned to me. My counselors and nobles resorted to me, I was restored to my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me.

nkjv@Daniel:4:37 @ Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. And those who walk in pride He is able to put down.

nkjv@Daniel:5:2 @ While he tasted the wine, Belshazzar gave the command to bring the gold and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple which had been in Jerusalem, that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them.

nkjv@Daniel:5:7 @ The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke, saying to the wise men of Babylon, "Whoever reads this writing, and tells me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around his neck; and he shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."

nkjv@Daniel:5:8 @ Now all the king's wise men came, but they could not read the writing, or make known to the king its interpretation.

nkjv@Daniel:5:10 @ The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came to the banquet hall. The queen spoke, saying, "O king, live forever! Do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your countenance change.

nkjv@Daniel:5:13 @ Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke, and said to Daniel, "Are you that Daniel who is one of the captives from Judah, whom my father the king brought from Judah?

nkjv@Daniel:5:15 @ Now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, but they could not give the interpretation of the thing.

nkjv@Daniel:5:16 @ And I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations and explain enigmas. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."

nkjv@Daniel:5:17 @ Then Daniel answered, and said before the king, "Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another; yet I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

nkjv@Daniel:5:28 @ PERES: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians."

nkjv@Daniel:6:1 @ It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred and twenty satraps, to be over the whole kingdom;

nkjv@Daniel:6:2 @ and over these, three governors, of whom Daniel was one, that the satraps might give account to them, so that the king would suffer no loss.

nkjv@Daniel:6:3 @ Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm.

nkjv@Daniel:6:4 @ So the governors and satraps sought to find some charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful; nor was there any error or fault found in him.

nkjv@Daniel:6:6 @ So these governors and satraps thronged before the king, and said thus to him: "King Darius, live forever!

nkjv@Daniel:6:7 @ All the governors of the kingdom, the administrators and satraps, the counselors and advisors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute and to make a firm decree, that whoever petitions any god or man for thirty days, except you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.

nkjv@Daniel:6:8 @ Now, O king, establish the decree and sign the writing, so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter."

nkjv@Daniel:6:12 @ And they went before the king, and spoke concerning the king's decree: "Have you not signed a decree that every man who petitions any god or man within thirty days, except you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?" The king answered and said, "The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter."

nkjv@Daniel:6:14 @ And the king, when he heard these words, was greatly displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored till the going down of the sun to deliver him.

nkjv@Daniel:6:15 @ Then these men approached the king, and said to the king, "Know, O king, that it is the law of the Medes and Persians that no decree or statute which the king establishes may be changed."

nkjv@Daniel:6:16 @ So the king gave the command, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. But the king spoke, saying to Daniel, "Your God, whom you serve continually, He will deliver you."

nkjv@Daniel:6:18 @ Now the king went to his palace and spent the night fasting; and no musicians were brought before him. Also his sleep went from him.

nkjv@Daniel:6:19 @ Then the king arose very early in the morning and went in haste to the den of lions.

nkjv@Daniel:6:20 @ And when he came to the den, he cried out with a lamenting voice to Daniel. The king spoke, saying to Daniel, "Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?"

nkjv@Daniel:6:21 @ Then Daniel said to the king, "O king, live forever!

nkjv@Daniel:6:24 @ And the king gave the command, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions--them, their children, and their wives; and the lions overpowered them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they ever came to the bottom of the den.

nkjv@Daniel:6:25 @...Then King Darius wrote: To all...

nkjv@Daniel:6:26 @ I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men must tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. For He is the living God, And steadfast forever; His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed, And His dominion shall endure to the end.

nkjv@Daniel:7:4 @ The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

nkjv@Daniel:7:5 @ "And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: "Arise, devour much flesh!'

nkjv@Daniel:7:6 @ "After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.

nkjv@Daniel:8:1 @ In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision appeared to me--to me, Daniel--after the one that appeared to me the first time.

nkjv@Daniel:8:4 @ I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward, so that no animal could withstand him; nor was there any that could deliver from his hand, but he did according to his will and became great.

nkjv@Daniel:8:6 @ Then he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing beside the river, and ran at him with furious power.

nkjv@Daniel:8:7 @ And I saw him confronting the ram; he was moved with rage against him, attacked the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to withstand him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled him; and there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand.

nkjv@Daniel:8:10 @ And it grew up to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them.

nkjv@Daniel:8:12 @ Because of transgression, an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast truth down to the ground. He did all this and prospered.

nkjv@Daniel:8:13 @ Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, "How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?"

nkjv@Daniel:8:14 @ And he said to me, "For two thousand three hundred days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed."

nkjv@Daniel:8:17 @ So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was afraid and fell on my face; but he said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time of the end."

nkjv@Daniel:8:18 @ Now, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep with my face to the ground; but he touched me, and stood me upright.

nkjv@Jonah:4:4 @ Then the LORD said, "Is it right for you to be angry?"

nkjv@Jonah:4:6 @ And the LORD God prepared a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be shade for his head to deliver him from his misery. So Jonah was very grateful for the plant.

nkjv@Jonah:4:8 @ And it happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah's head, so that he grew faint. Then he wished death for himself, and said, "It is better for me to die than to live."

nkjv@Matthew:9:1 @ So He got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own city.

nkjv@Matthew:9:2 @ Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, "Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you."

nkjv@Matthew:9:15 @ And Jesus said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

nkjv@Matthew:9:32 @ As they went out, behold, they brought to Him a man, mute and demon-possessed.

nkjv@Matthew:11:24 @ But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you."

nkjv@Matthew:11:25 @ At that time Jesus answered and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.

nkjv@Matthew:13:53 @ Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, that He departed from there.

nkjv@Matthew:13:54 @ When He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, "Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

nkjv@Matthew:14:13 @ When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities.

nkjv@Matthew:14:23 @ And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.

nkjv@Matthew:14:34 @ When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.

nkjv@Matthew:14:35 @ And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent out into all that surrounding region, brought to Him all who were sick,

nkjv@Matthew:15:28 @ Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

nkjv@Matthew:15:30 @ Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus' feet, and He healed them.

nkjv@Matthew:15:32 @ Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way."

nkjv@Matthew:15:34 @ Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few little fish."

nkjv@Matthew:15:35 @ So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

nkjv@Matthew:16:5 @ Now when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

nkjv@Matthew:16:6 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees."

nkjv@Matthew:25:15 @ And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.

nkjv@Matthew:25:20 @ "So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, "Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.'

nkjv@Matthew:25:21 @ His lord said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

nkjv@Matthew:25:22 @ He also who had received two talents came and said, "Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.'

nkjv@Matthew:25:23 @ His lord said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

nkjv@Matthew:25:24 @ "Then he who had received the one talent came and said, "Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

nkjv@Matthew:25:26 @ "But his lord answered and said to him, "You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.

nkjv@Matthew:25:27 @ So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest.

nkjv@Matthew:25:28 @ So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.

nkjv@Matthew:25:29 @ "For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.

nkjv@Matthew:25:34 @ Then the King will say to those on His right hand, "Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

nkjv@Matthew:25:36 @ I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.'

nkjv@Matthew:25:39 @ Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'

nkjv@Matthew:25:40 @ And the King will answer and say to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'

nkjv@Matthew:25:41 @ "Then He will also say to those on the left hand, "Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

nkjv@Matthew:25:44 @ "Then they also will answer Him, saying, "Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?'

nkjv@Matthew:25:45 @ Then He will answer them, saying, "Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.'

nkjv@Matthew:26:1 @ Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, that He said to His disciples,

nkjv@Matthew:26:2 @ "You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."

nkjv@Matthew:26:4 @ and plotted to take Jesus by trickery and kill Him.

nkjv@Matthew:26:7 @ a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table.

nkjv@Matthew:26:9 @ For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor."

nkjv@Matthew:26:10 @ But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me.

nkjv@Matthew:26:13 @ Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her."

nkjv@Matthew:26:14 @ Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

nkjv@Matthew:26:15 @ and said, "What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?" And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver.

nkjv@Matthew:26:16 @ So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.

nkjv@Matthew:26:17 @ Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?"

nkjv@Matthew:26:18 @ And He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, "The Teacher says, "My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.""'

nkjv@Matthew:26:21 @ Now as they were eating, He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me."

nkjv@Matthew:26:22 @ And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, "Lord, is it I?"

nkjv@Matthew:26:24 @ The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born."

nkjv@Matthew:26:25 @ Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, "Rabbi, is it I?" He said to him, "You have said it."

nkjv@Matthew:26:26 @ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."

nkjv@Matthew:26:27 @ Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you.

nkjv@Matthew:26:29 @ But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."

nkjv@Matthew:26:30 @ And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

nkjv@Matthew:26:31 @ Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: "I will strike the Shepherd, And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'

nkjv@Matthew:26:32 @ But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee."

nkjv@Matthew:26:33 @ Peter answered and said to Him, "Even if all are made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble."

nkjv@Matthew:26:34 @ Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."

nkjv@Matthew:26:35 @ Peter said to Him, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" And so said all the disciples.

nkjv@Matthew:26:36 @ Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, "Sit here while I go and pray over there."

nkjv@Matthew:26:37 @ And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.

nkjv@Matthew:26:38 @ Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me."

nkjv@Matthew:26:40 @ Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?

nkjv@Matthew:26:45 @ Then He came to His disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

nkjv@Matthew:26:49 @ Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.

nkjv@Matthew:26:50 @ But Jesus said to him, "Friend, why have you come?" Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him.

nkjv@Matthew:26:52 @ But Jesus said to him, "Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.

nkjv@Matthew:26:53 @ Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?

nkjv@Matthew:26:55 @ In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me.

nkjv@Matthew:26:57 @ And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

nkjv@Matthew:26:58 @ But Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest's courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.

nkjv@Matthew:26:59 @ Now the chief priests, the elders, and all the council sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death,

nkjv@Matthew:26:61 @ and said, "This fellow said, "I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days."'

nkjv@Matthew:26:62 @ And the high priest arose and said to Him, "Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?"

nkjv@Matthew:26:63 @ But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!"

nkjv@Matthew:26:64 @ Jesus said to him, "It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

nkjv@Matthew:26:68 @ saying, "Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?"

nkjv@Matthew:26:69 @ Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came to him, saying, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee."

nkjv@Matthew:26:71 @ And when he had gone out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, "This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth."

nkjv@Matthew:26:73 @ And a little later those who stood by came up and said to Peter, "Surely you also are one of them, for your speech betrays you."

nkjv@Matthew:26:74 @ Then he began to curse and swear, saying, "I do not know the Man!" Immediately a rooster crowed.

nkjv@Matthew:26:75 @ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." So he went out and wept bitterly.

nkjv@Matthew:27:1 @ When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put Him to death.

nkjv@Matthew:27:2 @ And when they had bound Him, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

nkjv@Matthew:27:3 @ Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

nkjv@Matthew:27:4 @ saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? You see to it!"

nkjv@Matthew:27:6 @ But the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because they are the price of blood."

nkjv@Matthew:27:7 @ And they consulted together and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

nkjv@Matthew:27:8 @ Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

nkjv@Matthew:27:11 @ Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" Jesus said to him, "It is as you say."

nkjv@Matthew:27:13 @ Then Pilate said to Him, "Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?"

nkjv@Matthew:27:15 @ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished.

nkjv@Matthew:27:17 @ Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"

nkjv@Matthew:27:19 @ While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him."

nkjv@Matthew:27:21 @ The governor answered and said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas!"

nkjv@Matthew:27:22 @ Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said to him, "Let Him be crucified!"

nkjv@Matthew:27:24 @ When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it."

nkjv@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.

nkjv@Matthew:27:31 @ And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified.

nkjv@Matthew:27:32 @ Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross.

nkjv@Matthew:27:33 @ And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull,

nkjv@Matthew:27:34 @ they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink.

nkjv@Matthew:27:48 @ Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink.

nkjv@Matthew:27:49 @ The rest said, "Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save Him."

nkjv@Matthew:27:51 @ Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,

nkjv@Matthew:27:53 @ and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

nkjv@Matthew:27:55 @ And many women who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar,

nkjv@Matthew:27:58 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him.

nkjv@Matthew:27:62 @ On the next day, which followed the Day of Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate,

nkjv@Matthew:27:64 @ Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, "He has risen from the dead.' So the last deception will be worse than the first."

nkjv@Matthew:27:65 @ Pilate said to them, "You have a guard; go your way, make it as secure as you know how."

nkjv@Matthew:28:1 @ Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

nkjv@Matthew:28:5 @ But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

nkjv@Matthew:28:8 @ So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.

nkjv@Matthew:28:9 @ And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, "Rejoice!" So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.

nkjv@Matthew:28:10 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me."

nkjv@Matthew:28:11 @ Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened.

nkjv@Matthew:28:12 @ When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,

nkjv@Matthew:28:14 @ And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will appease him and make you secure."

nkjv@Matthew:28:16 @ Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.

nkjv@Matthew:28:18 @ And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

nkjv@Matthew:28:20 @ teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

nkjv@Mark:1:5 @ Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

nkjv@Mark:1:7 @ And he preached, saying, "There comes One after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.

nkjv@Mark:1:9 @ It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

nkjv@Mark:1:13 @ And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to Him.

nkjv@Mark:1:14 @ Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

nkjv@Mark:1:17 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men."

nkjv@Mark:1:24 @ saying, "Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are--the Holy One of God!"

nkjv@Mark:1:32 @ At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed.

nkjv@Mark:1:34 @ Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

nkjv@Mark:1:35 @ Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.

nkjv@Mark:1:37 @ When they found Him, they said to Him, "Everyone is looking for You."

nkjv@Mark:1:38 @ But He said to them, "Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because for this purpose I have come forth."

nkjv@Mark:1:40 @ Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."

nkjv@Mark:1:41 @ Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."

nkjv@Mark:1:44 @ and said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

nkjv@Mark:1:45 @ However, he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but was outside in deserted places; and they came to Him from every direction.

nkjv@Mark:2:2 @ Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them.

nkjv@Mark:2:3 @ Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men.

nkjv@Mark:2:5 @ When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."

nkjv@Mark:2:8 @ But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, "Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?

nkjv@Mark:2:9 @ Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, "Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, "Arise, take up your bed and walk'?

nkjv@Mark:2:10 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins"--He said to the paralytic,

nkjv@Mark:2:11 @ "I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house."

nkjv@Mark:2:13 @ Then He went out again by the sea; and all the multitude came to Him, and He taught them.

nkjv@Mark:2:14 @ As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, "Follow Me." So he arose and followed Him.

nkjv@Mark:2:16 @ And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, "How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?"

nkjv@Mark:2:17 @ When Jesus heard it, He said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."

nkjv@Mark:2:18 @ The disciples of John and of the Pharisees were fasting. Then they came and said to Him, "Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?"

nkjv@Mark:2:19 @ And Jesus said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.

nkjv@Mark:2:23 @ Now it happened that He went through the grainfields on the Sabbath; and as they went His disciples began to pluck the heads of grain.

nkjv@Mark:2:24 @ And the Pharisees said to Him, "Look, why do they do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?"

nkjv@Mark:2:25 @ But He said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and those with him:

nkjv@Mark:2:26 @ how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the showbread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and also gave some to those who were with him?"

nkjv@Mark:2:27 @ And He said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.

nkjv@Mark:3:3 @ And He said to the man who had the withered hand, "Step forward."

nkjv@Mark:3:4 @ Then He said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they kept silent.

nkjv@Mark:3:5 @ And when He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.

nkjv@Mark:3:7 @ But Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea. And a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, and from Judea

nkjv@Mark:3:8 @ and Jerusalem and Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and those from Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard how many things He was doing, came to Him.

nkjv@Mark:3:10 @ For He healed many, so that as many as had afflictions pressed about Him to touch Him.

nkjv@Mark:3:13 @ And He went up on the mountain and called to Him those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him.

nkjv@Mark:3:14 @ Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach,

nkjv@Mark:3:15 @ and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:

nkjv@Mark:3:16 @ Simon, to whom He gave the name Peter;

nkjv@Mark:3:17 @ James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, to whom He gave the name Boanerges, that is, "Sons of Thunder";

nkjv@Mark:3:21 @ But when His own people heard about this, they went out to lay hold of Him, for they said, "He is out of His mind."

nkjv@Mark:3:23 @ So He called them to Himself and said to them in parables: "How can Satan cast out Satan?

nkjv@Mark:3:28 @ "Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter;

nkjv@Mark:3:29 @ but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation"--

nkjv@Mark:3:31 @ Then His brothers and His mother came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him.

nkjv@Mark:3:32 @ And a multitude was sitting around Him; and they said to Him, "Look, Your mother and Your brothers are outside seeking You."

nkjv@Mark:4:1 @ And again He began to teach by the sea. And a great multitude was gathered to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole multitude was on the land facing the sea.

nkjv@Mark:4:2 @ Then He taught them many things by parables, and said to them in His teaching:

nkjv@Mark:4:3 @ "Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow.

nkjv@Mark:4:9 @ And He said to them, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

nkjv@Mark:4:11 @ And He said to them, "To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables,

nkjv@Mark:4:13 @ And He said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?

nkjv@Mark:4:21 @ Also He said to them, "Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be set on a lampstand?

nkjv@Mark:4:22 @ For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.

nkjv@Mark:4:23 @ If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."

nkjv@Mark:4:24 @ Then He said to them, "Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.

nkjv@Mark:4:25 @ For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him."

nkjv@Mark:4:33 @ And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it.

nkjv@Mark:4:34 @ But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples.

nkjv@Mark:4:35 @ On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side."

nkjv@Mark:4:38 @ But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, "Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?"

nkjv@Mark:4:39 @ Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!" And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

nkjv@Mark:4:40 @ But He said to them, "Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?"

nkjv@Mark:4:41 @ And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, "Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!"

nkjv@Mark:5:1 @ Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes.

nkjv@Mark:5:7 @ And he cried out with a loud voice and said, "What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God that You do not torment me."

nkjv@Mark:5:8 @ For He said to him, "Come out of the man, unclean spirit!"

nkjv@Mark:5:12 @ So all the demons begged Him, saying, "Send us to the swine, that we may enter them."

nkjv@Mark:5:14 @ So those who fed the swine fled, and they told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had happened.

nkjv@Mark:5:15 @ Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been demon-possessed and had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.

nkjv@Mark:5:16 @ And those who saw it told them how it happened to him who had been demon-possessed, and about the swine.

nkjv@Mark:5:17 @ Then they began to plead with Him to depart from their region.

nkjv@Mark:5:19 @ However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, "Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you."

nkjv@Mark:5:20 @ And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all marveled.

nkjv@Mark:5:21 @ Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea.

nkjv@Mark:5:31 @ But His disciples said to Him, "You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, "Who touched Me?"'

nkjv@Mark:5:32 @ And He looked around to see her who had done this thing.

nkjv@Mark:5:33 @ But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.

nkjv@Mark:5:34 @ And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction."

nkjv@Mark:5:36 @ As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid; only believe."

nkjv@Mark:5:37 @ And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

nkjv@Mark:5:38 @ Then He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw a tumult and those who wept and wailed loudly.

nkjv@Mark:5:39 @ When He came in, He said to them, "Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping."

nkjv@Mark:5:41 @ Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," which is translated, "Little girl, I say to you, arise."

nkjv@Mark:5:43 @ But He commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat.

nkjv@Mark:6:1 @ Then He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him.

nkjv@Mark:6:2 @ And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, "Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands!

nkjv@Mark:6:4 @ But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house."

nkjv@Mark:6:7 @ And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.

nkjv@Mark:6:8 @ He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff--no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts--

nkjv@Mark:6:9 @ but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.

nkjv@Mark:6:10 @ Also He said to them, "In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till you depart from that place.

nkjv@Mark:6:11 @ And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!"

nkjv@Mark:6:18 @ Because John had said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."

nkjv@Mark:6:19 @ Therefore Herodias held it against him and wanted to kill him, but she could not;

nkjv@Mark:6:22 @ And when Herodias' daughter herself came in and danced, and pleased Herod and those who sat with him, the king said to the girl, "Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you."

nkjv@Mark:6:23 @ He also swore to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom."

nkjv@Mark:6:24 @ So she went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the Baptist!"

nkjv@Mark:6:25 @ Immediately she came in with haste to the king and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

nkjv@Mark:6:26 @ And the king was exceedingly sorry; yet, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he did not want to refuse her.

nkjv@Mark:6:27 @ Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in prison,

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

nkjv@Mark:6:30 @ Then the apostles gathered to Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.

nkjv@Mark:6:31 @ And He said to them, "Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while." For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

nkjv@Mark:6:32 @ So they departed to a deserted place in the boat by themselves.

nkjv@Mark:6:33 @ But the multitudes saw them departing, and many knew Him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to Him.

nkjv@Mark:6:34 @ And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things.

nkjv@Mark:6:35 @ When the day was now far spent, His disciples came to Him and said, "This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late.

nkjv@Mark:6:36 @ Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat."

nkjv@Mark:6:37 @ But He answered and said to them, "You give them something to eat." And they said to Him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?"

nkjv@Mark:6:38 @ But He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see." And when they found out they said, "Five, and two fish."

nkjv@Mark:6:39 @ Then He commanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.

nkjv@Mark:6:41 @ And when He had taken the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to heaven, blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and the two fish He divided among them all.

nkjv@Mark:6:45 @ Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away.

nkjv@Mark:6:46 @ And when He had sent them away, He departed to the mountain to pray.

nkjv@Mark:6:48 @ Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea, and would have passed them by.

nkjv@Mark:6:50 @ for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and said to them, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid."

nkjv@Mark:6:51 @ Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled.

nkjv@Mark:6:53 @ When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret and anchored there.

nkjv@Mark:6:55 @ ran through that whole surrounding region, and began to carry about on beds those who were sick to wherever they heard He was.

nkjv@Mark:7:1 @ Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes came together to Him, having come from Jerusalem.

nkjv@Mark:7:5 @ Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?"

nkjv@Mark:7:6 @ He answered and said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: "This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.

nkjv@Mark:7:9 @ He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

nkjv@Mark:7:10 @ For Moses said, "Honor your father and your mother'; and, "He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.'

nkjv@Mark:7:11 @ But you say, "If a man says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban"--' (that is, a gift to God),

nkjv@Mark:7:14 @ When He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, "Hear Me, everyone, and understand:

nkjv@Mark:7:16 @ If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!"

nkjv@Mark:7:18 @ So He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him,

nkjv@Mark:7:24 @ From there He arose and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be hidden.

nkjv@Mark:7:26 @ The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

nkjv@Mark:7:27 @ But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs."

nkjv@Mark:7:28 @ And she answered and said to Him, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs."

nkjv@Mark:7:29 @ Then He said to her, "For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter."

nkjv@Mark:7:30 @ And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.

nkjv@Mark:7:31 @ Again, departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, He came through the midst of the region of Decapolis to the Sea of Galilee.

nkjv@Mark:7:32 @ Then they brought to Him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His hand on him.

nkjv@Mark:7:34 @ Then, looking up to heaven, He sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."

nkjv@Mark:7:37 @ And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."

nkjv@Mark:8:1 @ In those days, the multitude being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them,

nkjv@Mark:8:2 @ "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat.

nkjv@Mark:8:3 @ And if I send them away hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar."

nkjv@Mark:8:6 @ So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.

nkjv@Mark:8:7 @ They also had a few small fish; and having blessed them, He said to set them also before them.

nkjv@Mark:8:10 @ immediately got into the boat with His disciples, and came to the region of Dalmanutha.

nkjv@Mark:8:11 @ Then the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him.

nkjv@Mark:8:12 @ But He sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."

nkjv@Mark:8:13 @ And He left them, and getting into the boat again, departed to the other side.

nkjv@Mark:8:14 @ Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat.

nkjv@Mark:8:17 @ But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, "Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?

nkjv@Mark:8:19 @ When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?" They said to Him, "Twelve."

nkjv@Mark:8:21 @ So He said to them, "How is it you do not understand?"

nkjv@Mark:8:22 @ Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him.

nkjv@Mark:8:26 @ Then He sent him away to his house, saying, "Neither go into the town, nor tell anyone in the town."

nkjv@Mark:8:27 @ Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He asked His disciples, saying to them, "Who do men say that I am?"

nkjv@Mark:8:29 @ He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered and said to Him, "You are the Christ."

nkjv@Mark:8:31 @ And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

nkjv@Mark:8:32 @ He spoke this word openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.

nkjv@Mark:8:34 @ When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

nkjv@Mark:8:35 @ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it.

nkjv@Mark:9:1 @ And He said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God present with power."

nkjv@Mark:9:4 @ And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

nkjv@Mark:9:5 @ Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"--

nkjv@Mark:9:6 @ because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.

nkjv@Mark:9:10 @ So they kept this word to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.

nkjv@Mark:9:13 @ But I say to you that Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him."

nkjv@Mark:9:14 @ And when He came to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with them.

nkjv@Mark:9:15 @ Immediately, when they saw Him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him.

nkjv@Mark:9:18 @ And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not."

nkjv@Mark:9:19 @ He answered him and said, "O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me."

nkjv@Mark:9:20 @ Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.

nkjv@Mark:9:21 @ So He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood.

nkjv@Mark:9:22 @ And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us."

nkjv@Mark:9:23 @ Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."

nkjv@Mark:9:25 @ When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!"

nkjv@Mark:9:29 @ So He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting."

nkjv@Mark:9:30 @ Then they departed from there and passed through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know it.

nkjv@Mark:9:31 @ For He taught His disciples and said to them, "The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill Him. And after He is killed, He will rise the third day."

nkjv@Mark:9:32 @ But they did not understand this saying, and were afraid to ask Him.

nkjv@Mark:9:33 @ Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, "What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?"

nkjv@Mark:9:35 @ And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, "If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all."

nkjv@Mark:9:36 @ Then He took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them,

nkjv@Mark:9:41 @ For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.

nkjv@Mark:9:42 @ "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.

nkjv@Mark:9:43 @ If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched--

nkjv@Mark:9:45 @ And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched--

nkjv@Mark:9:47 @ And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire--

nkjv@Mark:10:1 @ Then He arose from there and came to the region of Judea by the other side of the Jordan. And multitudes gathered to Him again, and as He was accustomed, He taught them again.

nkjv@Mark:10:2 @ The Pharisees came and asked Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" testing Him.

nkjv@Mark:10:3 @ And He answered and said to them, "What did Moses command you?"

nkjv@Mark:10:4 @ They said, "Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to dismiss her."

nkjv@Mark:10:5 @ And Jesus answered and said to them, "Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

nkjv@Mark:10:7 @ "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,

nkjv@Mark:10:11 @ So He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.

nkjv@Mark:10:13 @ Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

nkjv@Mark:10:14 @ But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Mark:10:15 @ Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it."

nkjv@Mark:10:18 @ So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.

nkjv@Mark:10:20 @ And he answered and said to Him, "Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth."

nkjv@Mark:10:21 @ Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me."

nkjv@Mark:10:23 @ Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!"

nkjv@Mark:10:24 @ And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, "Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God!

nkjv@Mark:10:25 @ It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

nkjv@Mark:10:28 @ Then Peter began to say to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You."

nkjv@Mark:10:29 @ So Jesus answered and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel's,

nkjv@Mark:10:30 @ who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time--houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions--and in the age to come, eternal life.

nkjv@Mark:10:32 @ Now they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them; and they were amazed. And as they followed they were afraid. Then He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them the things that would happen to Him:

nkjv@Mark:10:33 @ "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and deliver Him to the Gentiles;

nkjv@Mark:10:35 @ Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, "Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask."

nkjv@Mark:10:36 @ And He said to them, "What do you want Me to do for you?"

nkjv@Mark:10:37 @ They said to Him, "Grant us that we may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on Your left, in Your glory."

nkjv@Mark:10:38 @ But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"

nkjv@Mark:10:39 @ They said to Him, "We are able." So Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism I am baptized with you will be baptized;

nkjv@Mark:10:40 @ but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared."

nkjv@Mark:10:41 @ And when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John.

nkjv@Mark:10:42 @ But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, "You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

nkjv@Mark:10:43 @ Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.

nkjv@Mark:10:44 @ And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all.

nkjv@Mark:10:45 @ For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

nkjv@Mark:10:46 @ Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging.

nkjv@Mark:10:47 @ And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

nkjv@Mark:10:48 @ Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

nkjv@Mark:10:49 @ So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him, "Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you."

nkjv@Mark:10:50 @ And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus.

nkjv@Mark:10:51 @ So Jesus answered and said to him, "What do you want Me to do for you?" The blind man said to Him, "Rabboni, that I may receive my sight."

nkjv@Mark:10:52 @ Then Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.

nkjv@Mark:11:1 @ Now when they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples;

nkjv@Mark:11:2 @ and He said to them, "Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it.

nkjv@Mark:11:3 @ And if anyone says to you, "Why are you doing this?' say, "The Lord has need of it,' and immediately he will send it here."

nkjv@Mark:11:5 @ But some of those who stood there said to them, "What are you doing, loosing the colt?"

nkjv@Mark:11:6 @ And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go.

nkjv@Mark:11:7 @ Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it.

nkjv@Mark:11:11 @ And Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple. So when He had looked around at all things, as the hour was already late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve.

nkjv@Mark:11:13 @ And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

nkjv@Mark:11:14 @ In response Jesus said to it, "Let no one eat fruit from you ever again." And His disciples heard it.

nkjv@Mark:11:15 @ So they came to Jerusalem. Then Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.

nkjv@Mark:11:16 @ And He would not allow anyone to carry wares through the temple.

nkjv@Mark:11:17 @ Then He taught, saying to them, "Is it not written, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations'? But you have made it a "den of thieves."'

nkjv@Mark:11:21 @ And Peter, remembering, said to Him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away."

nkjv@Mark:11:22 @ So Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God.

nkjv@Mark:11:23 @ For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, "Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

nkjv@Mark:11:24 @ Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

nkjv@Mark:11:27 @ Then they came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to Him.

nkjv@Mark:11:28 @ And they said to Him, "By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority to do these things?"

nkjv@Mark:11:29 @ But Jesus answered and said to them, "I also will ask you one question; then answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

nkjv@Mark:11:32 @ But if we say, "From men"'--they feared the people, for all counted John to have been a prophet indeed.

nkjv@Mark:11:33 @ So they answered and said to Jesus, "We do not know." And Jesus answered and said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

nkjv@Mark:12:1 @ Then He began to speak to them in parables: "A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place for the wine vat and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country.

nkjv@Mark:12:2 @ Now at vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that he might receive some of the fruit of the vineyard from the vinedressers.

nkjv@Mark:12:6 @ Therefore still having one son, his beloved, he also sent him to them last, saying, "They will respect my son.'

nkjv@Mark:12:9 @ "Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers, and give the vineyard to others.

nkjv@Mark:12:12 @ And they sought to lay hands on Him, but feared the multitude, for they knew He had spoken the parable against them. So they left Him and went away.

nkjv@Mark:12:13 @ Then they sent to Him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch Him in His words.

nkjv@Mark:12:14 @ When they had come, they said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and care about no one; for You do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

nkjv@Mark:12:15 @ Shall we pay, or shall we not pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why do you test Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may see it."

nkjv@Mark:12:16 @ So they brought it. And He said to them, "Whose image and inscription is this?" They said to Him, "Caesar's."

nkjv@Mark:12:17 @ And Jesus answered and said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they marveled at Him.

nkjv@Mark:12:18 @ Then some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him; and they asked Him, saying:

nkjv@Mark:12:19 @ "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, and leaves his wife behind, and leaves no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

nkjv@Mark:12:24 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God?

nkjv@Mark:12:26 @ But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

nkjv@Mark:12:32 @ So the scribe said to Him, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He.

nkjv@Mark:12:33 @ And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

nkjv@Mark:12:34 @ Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." But after that no one dared question Him.

nkjv@Mark:12:36 @ For David himself said by the Holy Spirit: "The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool."'

nkjv@Mark:12:38 @ Then He said to them in His teaching, "Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces,

nkjv@Mark:13:1 @ Then as He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, "Teacher, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!"

nkjv@Mark:13:2 @ And Jesus answered and said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone shall be left upon another, that shall not be thrown down."

nkjv@Mark:13:5 @ And Jesus, answering them, began to say: "Take heed that no one deceives you.

nkjv@Mark:13:9 @ "But watch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them.

nkjv@Mark:13:12 @ Now brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.

nkjv@Mark:13:13 @ And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

nkjv@Mark:13:14 @ "So when you see the "abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not" (let the reader understand), "then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

nkjv@Mark:13:15 @ Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house.

nkjv@Mark:13:16 @ And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes.

nkjv@Mark:13:17 @ But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

nkjv@Mark:13:21 @ "Then if anyone says to you, "Look, here is the Christ!' or, "Look, He is there!' do not believe it.

nkjv@Mark:13:22 @ For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

nkjv@Mark:13:27 @ And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.

nkjv@Mark:13:30 @ Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.

nkjv@Mark:13:34 @ It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.

nkjv@Mark:13:37 @ And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!"

nkjv@Mark:14:1 @ After two days it was the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take Him by trickery and put Him to death.

nkjv@Mark:14:5 @ For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor." And they criticized her sharply.

nkjv@Mark:14:8 @ She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial.

nkjv@Mark:14:9 @ Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her."

nkjv@Mark:14:10 @ Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Him to them.

nkjv@Mark:14:11 @ And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. So he sought how he might conveniently betray Him.

nkjv@Mark:14:12 @ Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?"

nkjv@Mark:14:13 @ And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him.

nkjv@Mark:14:14 @ Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, "The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"'

nkjv@Mark:14:16 @ So His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover.

nkjv@Mark:14:18 @ Now as they sat and ate, Jesus said, "Assuredly, I say to you, one of you who eats with Me will betray Me."

nkjv@Mark:14:19 @ And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one by one, "Is it I?" And another said, "Is it I?"

nkjv@Mark:14:20 @ He answered and said to them, "It is one of the twelve, who dips with Me in the dish.

nkjv@Mark:14:21 @ The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born."

nkjv@Mark:14:22 @ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."

nkjv@Mark:14:23 @ Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

nkjv@Mark:14:24 @ And He said to them, "This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many.

nkjv@Mark:14:25 @ Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

nkjv@Mark:14:26 @ And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

nkjv@Mark:14:27 @ Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: "I will strike the Shepherd, And the sheep will be scattered.'

nkjv@Mark:14:28 @ "But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee."

nkjv@Mark:14:29 @ Peter said to Him, "Even if all are made to stumble, yet I will not be."

nkjv@Mark:14:30 @ Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times."

nkjv@Mark:14:31 @ But he spoke more vehemently, "If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" And they all said likewise.

nkjv@Mark:14:32 @ Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sit here while I pray."

nkjv@Mark:14:33 @ And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.

nkjv@Mark:14:34 @ Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch."

nkjv@Mark:14:37 @ Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?

nkjv@Mark:14:40 @ And when He returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.

nkjv@Mark:14:41 @ Then He came the third time and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

nkjv@Mark:14:45 @ As soon as he had come, immediately he went up to Him and said to Him, "Rabbi, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.

nkjv@Mark:14:48 @ Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me?

nkjv@Mark:14:53 @ And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes.

nkjv@Mark:14:55 @ Now the chief priests and all the council sought testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none.

nkjv@Mark:14:61 @ But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

nkjv@Mark:14:64 @ You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?" And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.

nkjv@Mark:14:65 @ Then some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, "Prophesy!" And the officers struck Him with the palms of their hands.

nkjv@Mark:14:69 @ And the servant girl saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by, "This is one of them."

nkjv@Mark:14:70 @ But he denied it again. And a little later those who stood by said to Peter again, "Surely you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it."

nkjv@Mark:14:71 @ Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know this Man of whom you speak!"

nkjv@Mark:14:72 @ A second time the rooster crowed. Then Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times." And when he thought about it, he wept.

nkjv@Mark:15:1 @ Immediately, in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council; and they bound Jesus, led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.

nkjv@Mark:15:2 @ Then Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He answered and said to him, "It is as you say."

nkjv@Mark:15:6 @ Now at the feast he was accustomed to releasing one prisoner to them, whomever they requested.

nkjv@Mark:15:8 @ Then the multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them.

nkjv@Mark:15:9 @ But Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

nkjv@Mark:15:11 @ But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them.

nkjv@Mark:15:12 @ Pilate answered and said to them again, "What then do you want me to do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?"

nkjv@Mark:15:14 @ Then Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they cried out all the more, "Crucify Him!"

nkjv@Mark:15:15 @ So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged Him, to be crucified.

nkjv@Mark:15:18 @ and began to salute Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

nkjv@Mark:15:20 @ And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.

nkjv@Mark:15:21 @ Then they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to bear His cross.

nkjv@Mark:15:22 @ And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.

nkjv@Mark:15:23 @ Then they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it.

nkjv@Mark:15:24 @ And when they crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.

nkjv@Mark:15:36 @ Then someone ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink, saying, "Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down."

nkjv@Mark:15:38 @ Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

nkjv@Mark:15:41 @ who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Mark:15:43 @ Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

nkjv@Mark:15:45 @ So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

nkjv@Mark:16:2 @ Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

nkjv@Mark:16:6 @ But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.

nkjv@Mark:16:7 @ But go, tell His disciples--and Peter--that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you."

nkjv@Mark:16:8 @ So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

nkjv@Mark:16:9 @ Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.

nkjv@Mark:16:12 @ After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country.

nkjv@Mark:16:13 @ And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.

nkjv@Mark:16:14 @ Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.

nkjv@Mark:16:15 @ And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

nkjv@Mark:16:19 @ So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

nkjv@Luke:1:1 @ Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to set in order a narrative of those things which have been fulfilled among us,

nkjv@Luke:1:2 @ just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word delivered them to us,

nkjv@Luke:1:3 @ it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent Theophilus,

nkjv@Luke:1:9 @ according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot fell to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.

nkjv@Luke:1:11 @ Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

nkjv@Luke:1:13 @ But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

nkjv@Luke:1:16 @ And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.

nkjv@Luke:1:17 @ He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, "to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."

nkjv@Luke:1:18 @ And Zacharias said to the angel, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years."

nkjv@Luke:1:19 @ And the angel answered and said to him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings.

nkjv@Luke:1:20 @ But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time."

nkjv@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, for he beckoned to them and remained speechless.

nkjv@Luke:1:23 @ So it was, as soon as the days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house.

nkjv@Luke:1:25 @ "Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to take away my reproach among people."

nkjv@Luke:1:26 @ Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

nkjv@Luke:1:27 @ to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.

nkjv@Luke:1:28 @ And having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!"

nkjv@Luke:1:30 @ Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

nkjv@Luke:1:34 @ Then Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?"

nkjv@Luke:1:35 @ And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

nkjv@Luke:1:38 @ Then Mary said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.

nkjv@Luke:1:39 @ Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah,

nkjv@Luke:1:43 @ But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

nkjv@Luke:1:50 @ And His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation to generation.

nkjv@Luke:1:55 @...spoke to our fathers, To Abraham...

nkjv@Luke:1:56 @ And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her house.

nkjv@Luke:1:57 @ Now Elizabeth's full time came for her to be delivered, and she brought forth a son.

nkjv@Luke:1:58 @ When her neighbors and relatives heard how the Lord had shown great mercy to her, they rejoiced with her.

nkjv@Luke:1:59 @ So it was, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him by the name of his father, Zacharias.

nkjv@Luke:1:61 @ But they said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."

nkjv@Luke:1:62 @ So they made signs to his father--what he would have him called.

nkjv@Luke:1:72 @ To perform the mercy promised to our fathers And to remember His holy covenant,

nkjv@Luke:1:73 @ The oath which He swore to our father Abraham:

nkjv@Luke:1:74 @ To grant us that we, Being delivered from the hand of our enemies, Might serve Him without fear,

nkjv@Luke:1:76 @ "And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; For you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,

nkjv@Luke:1:77 @ To give knowledge of salvation to His people By the remission of their sins,

nkjv@Luke:1:79 @...the shadow of death, To guide...

nkjv@Luke:1:80 @ So the child grew and became strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.

nkjv@Luke:2:1 @ And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.

nkjv@Luke:2:3 @ So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.

nkjv@Luke:2:4 @ Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,

nkjv@Luke:2:5 @ to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.

nkjv@Luke:2:6 @ So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered.

nkjv@Luke:2:10 @ Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.

nkjv@Luke:2:11 @ For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

nkjv@Luke:2:12 @ And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger."

nkjv@Luke:2:14 @ "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"

nkjv@Luke:2:15 @ So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us."

nkjv@Luke:2:22 @ Now when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord

nkjv@Luke:2:23 @ (as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the LORD"),

nkjv@Luke:2:24 @ and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, "A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons."

nkjv@Luke:2:26 @ And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

nkjv@Luke:2:27 @ So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law,

nkjv@Luke:2:29 @ "Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your word;

nkjv@Luke:2:32 @ A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel."

nkjv@Luke:2:34 @ Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, "Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against

nkjv@Luke:2:38 @ And coming in that instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

nkjv@Luke:2:39 @ So when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.

nkjv@Luke:2:41 @ His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.

nkjv@Luke:2:42 @ And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.

nkjv@Luke:2:44 @ but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day's journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances.

nkjv@Luke:2:45 @ So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him.

nkjv@Luke:2:46 @ Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.

nkjv@Luke:2:48 @ So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously."

nkjv@Luke:2:49 @ And He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?"

nkjv@Luke:2:50 @ But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them.

nkjv@Luke:2:51 @ Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart.

nkjv@Luke:3:2 @ while Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

nkjv@Luke:3:7 @ Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, "Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

nkjv@Luke:3:8 @ Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, "We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

nkjv@Luke:3:9 @ And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."

nkjv@Luke:3:11 @ He answered and said to them, "He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise."

nkjv@Luke:3:12 @ Then tax collectors also came to be baptized, and said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?"

nkjv@Luke:3:13 @ And he said to them, "Collect no more than what is appointed for you."

nkjv@Luke:3:14 @ Likewise the soldiers asked him, saying, "And what shall we do?" So he said to them, "Do not intimidate anyone or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages."

nkjv@Luke:3:16 @ John answered, saying to all, "I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

nkjv@Luke:3:18 @ And with many other exhortations he preached to the people.

nkjv@Luke:3:21 @ When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened.

nkjv@Luke:4:3 @ And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."

nkjv@Luke:4:6 @ And the devil said to Him, "All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

nkjv@Luke:4:8 @ And Jesus answered and said to him, "Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve."'

nkjv@Luke:4:9 @ Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here.

nkjv@Luke:4:10 @...angels charge over you, To keep...

nkjv@Luke:4:12 @ And Jesus answered and said to him, "It has been said, "You shall not tempt the LORD your God."'

nkjv@Luke:4:14 @ Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region.

nkjv@Luke:4:16 @ So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

nkjv@Luke:4:18 @...sight to the blind, To set...

nkjv@Luke:4:19 @ To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD."

nkjv@Luke:4:20 @ Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.

nkjv@Luke:4:21 @ And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

nkjv@Luke:4:22 @ So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, "Is this not Joseph's son?"

nkjv@Luke:4:23 @ He said to them, "You will surely say this proverb to Me, "Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country."'

nkjv@Luke:4:24 @ Then He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country.

nkjv@Luke:4:26 @ but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

nkjv@Luke:4:29 @ and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff.

nkjv@Luke:4:31 @ Then He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths.

nkjv@Luke:4:34 @ saying, "Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are--the Holy One of God!"

nkjv@Luke:4:40 @ When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.

nkjv@Luke:4:41 @ And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, "You are the Christ, the Son of God!" And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.

nkjv@Luke:4:42 @ Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them;

nkjv@Luke:4:43 @ but He said to them, "I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent."

nkjv@Luke:5:1 @ So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret,

nkjv@Luke:5:3 @ Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.

nkjv@Luke:5:4 @ When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, "Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch."

nkjv@Luke:5:5 @ But Simon answered and said to Him, "Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net."

nkjv@Luke:5:7 @ So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.

nkjv@Luke:5:10 @ and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men."

nkjv@Luke:5:11 @ So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him.

nkjv@Luke:5:14 @ And He charged him to tell no one, "But go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded."

nkjv@Luke:5:15 @ However, the report went around concerning Him all the more; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.

nkjv@Luke:5:17 @ Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

nkjv@Luke:5:18 @ Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him.

nkjv@Luke:5:20 @ When He saw their faith, He said to him, "Man, your sins are forgiven you."

nkjv@Luke:5:21 @ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

nkjv@Luke:5:22 @ But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, He answered and said to them, "Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

nkjv@Luke:5:23 @ Which is easier, to say, "Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, "Rise up and walk'?

nkjv@Luke:5:24 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins"--He said to the man who was paralyzed, "I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house."

nkjv@Luke:5:25 @ Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

nkjv@Luke:5:27 @ After these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, "Follow Me."

nkjv@Luke:5:31 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

nkjv@Luke:5:32 @ I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."

nkjv@Luke:5:33 @ Then they said to Him, "Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?"

nkjv@Luke:5:34 @ And He said to them, "Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?

nkjv@Luke:5:36 @ Then He spoke a parable to them: "No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old.

nkjv@Luke:6:2 @ And some of the Pharisees said to them, "Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?"

nkjv@Luke:6:4 @ how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some to those with him, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?"

nkjv@Luke:6:5 @ And He said to them, "The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath."

nkjv@Luke:6:8 @ But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, "Arise and stand here." And he arose and stood.

nkjv@Luke:6:9 @ Then Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy?"

nkjv@Luke:6:10 @ And when He had looked around at them all, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.

nkjv@Luke:6:11 @ But they were filled with rage, and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

nkjv@Luke:6:12 @ Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

nkjv@Luke:6:13 @ And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles:

nkjv@Luke:6:17 @ And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases,

nkjv@Luke:6:19 @ And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.

nkjv@Luke:6:23 @ Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great in heaven, For in like manner their fathers did to the prophets.

nkjv@Luke:6:24 @ "But woe to you who are rich, For you have received your consolation.

nkjv@Luke:6:25 @ Woe to you who are full, For you shall hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, For you shall mourn and weep.

nkjv@Luke:6:26 @ Woe to you when all men speak well of you, For so did their fathers to the false prophets.

nkjv@Luke:6:27 @ "But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

nkjv@Luke:6:29 @ To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either.

nkjv@Luke:6:30 @ Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.

nkjv@Luke:6:31 @ And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

nkjv@Luke:6:32 @ "But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

nkjv@Luke:6:33 @ And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

nkjv@Luke:6:34 @ And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back.

nkjv@Luke:6:35 @ But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.

nkjv@Luke:6:38 @ Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."

nkjv@Luke:6:39 @ And He spoke a parable to them: "Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch?

nkjv@Luke:6:42 @ Or how can you say to your brother, "Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye.

nkjv@Luke:6:47 @ Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like:

nkjv@Luke:7:2 @ And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die.

nkjv@Luke:7:3 @ So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Him to come and heal his servant.

nkjv@Luke:7:4 @ And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving,

nkjv@Luke:7:6 @ Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof.

nkjv@Luke:7:7 @ Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.

nkjv@Luke:7:8 @ For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, "Go,' and he goes; and to another, "Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, "Do this,' and he does it."

nkjv@Luke:7:9 @ When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, "I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!"

nkjv@Luke:7:10 @ And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well who had been sick.

nkjv@Luke:7:13 @ When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep."

nkjv@Luke:7:14 @ Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise."

nkjv@Luke:7:15 @ So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.

nkjv@Luke:7:18 @ Then the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things.

nkjv@Luke:7:19 @ And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to Jesus, saying, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?"

nkjv@Luke:7:20 @ When the men had come to Him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?"'

nkjv@Luke:7:21 @ And that very hour He cured many of infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight.

nkjv@Luke:7:22 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them.

nkjv@Luke:7:24 @ When the messengers of John had departed, He began to speak to the multitudes concerning John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

nkjv@Luke:7:25 @ But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings' courts.

nkjv@Luke:7:26 @ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

nkjv@Luke:7:28 @ For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."

nkjv@Luke:7:32 @ They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying: "We played the flute for you, And you did not dance; We mourned to you, And you did not weep.'

nkjv@Luke:7:36 @ Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee's house, and sat down to eat.

nkjv@Luke:7:38 @ and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil.

nkjv@Luke:7:39 @ Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, "This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner."

nkjv@Luke:7:40 @ And Jesus answered and said to him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." So he said, "Teacher, say it."

nkjv@Luke:7:42 @ And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?"

nkjv@Luke:7:43 @ Simon answered and said, "I suppose the one whom he forgave more." And He said to him, "You have rightly judged."

nkjv@Luke:7:44 @ Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.

nkjv@Luke:7:45 @ You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in.

nkjv@Luke:7:47 @ Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."

nkjv@Luke:7:48 @ Then He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."

nkjv@Luke:7:49 @ And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"

nkjv@Luke:7:50 @ Then He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."

nkjv@Luke:8:1 @ Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him,

nkjv@Luke:8:4 @ And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable:

nkjv@Luke:8:5 @ "A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it.

nkjv@Luke:8:8 @ But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold." When He had said these things He cried, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

nkjv@Luke:8:10 @ And He said, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that "Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.'

nkjv@Luke:8:14 @ Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

nkjv@Luke:8:17 @ For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.

nkjv@Luke:8:18 @ Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him."

nkjv@Luke:8:19 @ Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd.

nkjv@Luke:8:20 @ And it was told Him by some, who said, "Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You."

nkjv@Luke:8:21 @ But He answered and said to them, "My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it."

nkjv@Luke:8:22 @ Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the lake." And they launched out.

nkjv@Luke:8:24 @ And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm.

nkjv@Luke:8:25 @ But He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, "Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!"

nkjv@Luke:8:26 @ Then they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.

nkjv@Luke:8:28 @ When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, "What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!"

nkjv@Luke:8:29 @ For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.

nkjv@Luke:8:31 @ And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out into the abyss.

nkjv@Luke:8:32 @ Now a herd of many swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them.

nkjv@Luke:8:35 @ Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.

nkjv@Luke:8:37 @ Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. And He got into the boat and returned.

nkjv@Luke:8:39 @ "Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you." And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

nkjv@Luke:8:41 @ And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus' feet and begged Him to come to his house,

nkjv@Luke:8:47 @ Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.

nkjv@Luke:8:48 @ And He said to her, "Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace."

nkjv@Luke:8:49 @ While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher."

nkjv@Luke:8:51 @ When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl.

nkjv@Luke:8:55 @ Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat.

nkjv@Luke:8:56 @ And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.

nkjv@Luke:9:1 @ Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

nkjv@Luke:9:2 @ He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

nkjv@Luke:9:3 @ And He said to them, "Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece.

nkjv@Luke:9:9 @ Herod said, "John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things?" So he sought to see Him.

nkjv@Luke:9:10 @ And the apostles, when they had returned, told Him all that they had done. Then He took them and went aside privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

nkjv@Luke:9:11 @ But when the multitudes knew it, they followed Him; and He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.

nkjv@Luke:9:12 @ When the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to Him, "Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding towns and country, and lodge and get provisions; for we are in a deserted place here."

nkjv@Luke:9:13 @ But He said to them, "You give them something to eat." And they said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people."

nkjv@Luke:9:14 @ For there were about five thousand men. Then He said to His disciples, "Make them sit down in groups of fifty."

nkjv@Luke:9:16 @ Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

nkjv@Luke:9:20 @ He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered and said, "The Christ of God."

nkjv@Luke:9:21 @ And He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one,

nkjv@Luke:9:23 @ Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

nkjv@Luke:9:24 @ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.

nkjv@Luke:9:25 @ For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?

nkjv@Luke:9:28 @ Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.

nkjv@Luke:9:31 @ who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

nkjv@Luke:9:33 @ Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"--not knowing what he said.

nkjv@Luke:9:40 @ So I implored Your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."

nkjv@Luke:9:42 @ And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father.

nkjv@Luke:9:43 @ And they were all amazed at the majesty of God. But while everyone marveled at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,

nkjv@Luke:9:44 @ "Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men."

nkjv@Luke:9:45 @ But they did not understand this saying, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.

nkjv@Luke:9:46 @ Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest.

nkjv@Luke:9:48 @ and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all will be great."

nkjv@Luke:9:50 @ But Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side."

nkjv@Luke:9:51 @ Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,

nkjv@Luke:9:52 @ and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him.

nkjv@Luke:9:53 @ But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Luke:9:54 @ And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?"

nkjv@Luke:9:56 @ For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them." And they went to another village.

nkjv@Luke:9:57 @ Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, "Lord, I will follow You wherever You go."

nkjv@Luke:9:58 @ And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."

nkjv@Luke:9:59 @ Then He said to another, "Follow Me." But he said, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."

nkjv@Luke:9:60 @ Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God."

nkjv@Luke:9:62 @ But Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

nkjv@Luke:10:1 @ After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.

nkjv@Luke:10:2 @ Then He said to them, "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

nkjv@Luke:10:5 @ But whatever house you enter, first say, "Peace to this house.'

nkjv@Luke:10:6 @ And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you.

nkjv@Luke:10:7 @ And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.

nkjv@Luke:10:9 @ And heal the sick there, and say to them, "The kingdom of God has come near to you.'

nkjv@Luke:10:11 @ "The very dust of your city which clings to us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.'

nkjv@Luke:10:12 @ But I say to you that it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city.

nkjv@Luke:10:13 @ "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

nkjv@Luke:10:15 @ And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades.

nkjv@Luke:10:17 @ Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name."

nkjv@Luke:10:18 @ And He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

nkjv@Luke:10:19 @ Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

nkjv@Luke:10:20 @ Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven."

nkjv@Luke:10:21 @ In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

nkjv@Luke:10:22 @ All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him."

nkjv@Luke:10:23 @ Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see;

nkjv@Luke:10:24 @ for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it."

nkjv@Luke:10:25 @ And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

nkjv@Luke:10:26 @ He said to him, "What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?"

nkjv@Luke:10:28 @ And He said to him, "You have answered rightly; do this and you will live."

nkjv@Luke:10:29 @ But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

nkjv@Luke:10:30 @ Then Jesus answered and said: "A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

nkjv@Luke:10:34 @ So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

nkjv@Luke:10:35 @ On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, "Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.'

nkjv@Luke:10:36 @ So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?"

nkjv@Luke:10:37 @ And he said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

nkjv@Luke:10:40 @ But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me."

nkjv@Luke:10:41 @ And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.

nkjv@Luke:11:1 @ Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples."

nkjv@Luke:11:2 @ So He said to them, "When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.

nkjv@Luke:11:4 @ And forgive us our sins, For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one."

nkjv@Luke:11:5 @ And He said to them, "Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, "Friend, lend me three loaves;

nkjv@Luke:11:6 @ for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him';

nkjv@Luke:11:7 @ and he will answer from within and say, "Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you'?

nkjv@Luke:11:8 @ I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.

nkjv@Luke:11:9 @ "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

nkjv@Luke:11:10 @ For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

nkjv@Luke:11:13 @ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"

nkjv@Luke:11:17 @ But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls.

nkjv@Luke:11:24 @ "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, "I will return to my house from which I came.'

nkjv@Luke:11:27 @ And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, "Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!"

nkjv@Luke:11:29 @ And while the crowds were thickly gathered together, He began to say, "This is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet.

nkjv@Luke:11:30 @ For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.

nkjv@Luke:11:31 @ The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.

nkjv@Luke:11:37 @ And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat.

nkjv@Luke:11:39 @ Then the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness.

nkjv@Luke:11:41 @ But rather give alms of such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you.

nkjv@Luke:11:42 @ "But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.

nkjv@Luke:11:43 @ Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.

nkjv@Luke:11:44 @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them."

nkjv@Luke:11:45 @ Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, "Teacher, by saying these things You reproach us also."

nkjv@Luke:11:46 @ And He said, "Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

nkjv@Luke:11:47 @ Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

nkjv@Luke:11:51 @ from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.

nkjv@Luke:11:52 @ "Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered."

nkjv@Luke:11:53 @ And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things,

nkjv@Luke:12:1 @ In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

nkjv@Luke:12:4 @ "And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

nkjv@Luke:12:12 @ For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say."

nkjv@Luke:12:13 @ Then one from the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."

nkjv@Luke:12:14 @ But He said to him, "Man, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?"

nkjv@Luke:12:15 @ And He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses."

nkjv@Luke:12:16 @ Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: "The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.

nkjv@Luke:12:17 @ And he thought within himself, saying, "What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?'

nkjv@Luke:12:19 @ And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry."'

nkjv@Luke:12:20 @ But God said to him, "Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?'

nkjv@Luke:12:22 @ Then He said to His disciples, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.

nkjv@Luke:13:14 @ But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, "There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day."

nkjv@Luke:13:15 @ The Lord then answered him and said, "Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it?

nkjv@Luke:14:1 @ Now it happened, as He went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they watched Him closely.

nkjv@Luke:14:3 @ And Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"

nkjv@Luke:14:7 @ So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them:

nkjv@Luke:14:12 @ Then He also said to him who invited Him, "When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid.

nkjv@Luke:14:15 @ Now when one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, "Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!"

nkjv@Luke:14:16 @ Then He said to him, "A certain man gave a great supper and invited many,

nkjv@Luke:14:17 @ and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, "Come, for all things are now ready.'

nkjv@Luke:14:18 @ But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, "I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.'

nkjv@Luke:14:19 @ And another said, "I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.'

nkjv@Luke:14:21 @ So that servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, "Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind.'

nkjv@Luke:14:23 @ Then the master said to the servant, "Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

nkjv@Luke:14:24 @ For I say to you that none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper."'

nkjv@Luke:14:25 @ Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them,

nkjv@Luke:14:26 @ "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.

nkjv@Luke:15:12 @ And the younger of them said to his father, "Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.' So he divided to them his livelihood.

nkjv@Luke:15:13 @ And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.

nkjv@Luke:15:14 @ But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want.

nkjv@Luke:15:15 @ Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

nkjv@Luke:15:17 @ "But when he came to himself, he said, "How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

nkjv@Luke:17:11 @ Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

nkjv@Luke:17:14 @ So when He saw them, He said to them, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.

nkjv@Luke:17:18 @ Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?"

nkjv@Luke:17:19 @ And He said to him, "Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well."

nkjv@Luke:18:1 @ Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,

nkjv@Luke:18:3 @ Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, "Get justice for me from my adversary.'

nkjv@Luke:18:7 @ And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?

nkjv@Luke:18:9 @ Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

nkjv@Luke:18:10 @ "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

nkjv@Luke:18:13 @ And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, "God, be merciful to me a sinner!'

nkjv@Luke:18:14 @ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

nkjv@Luke:18:15 @ Then they also brought infants to Him that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

nkjv@Luke:18:16 @ But Jesus called them to Him and said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Luke:18:17 @ Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it."

nkjv@Luke:18:18 @ Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

nkjv@Luke:18:19 @ So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.

nkjv@Luke:18:22 @ So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

nkjv@Luke:18:24 @ And when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, He said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!

nkjv@Luke:18:25 @ For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

nkjv@Luke:18:29 @ So He said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

nkjv@Luke:18:30 @ who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life."

nkjv@Luke:18:31 @ Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be accomplished.

nkjv@Luke:18:32 @ For He will be delivered to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.

nkjv@Luke:18:40 @ So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him,

nkjv@Luke:18:41 @ saying, "What do you want Me to do for you?" He said, "Lord, that I may receive my sight."

nkjv@Luke:18:42 @ Then Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well."

nkjv@Luke:18:43 @ And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

nkjv@Luke:19:3 @ And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature.

nkjv@Luke:19:4 @ So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way.

nkjv@Luke:19:5 @ And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house."

nkjv@Luke:19:7 @ But when they saw it, they all complained, saying, "He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner."

nkjv@Luke:19:8 @ Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold."

nkjv@Luke:19:9 @ And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;

nkjv@Luke:19:10 @ for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."

nkjv@Luke:19:12 @ Therefore He said: "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.

nkjv@Luke:19:13 @ So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, "Do business till I come.'

nkjv@Luke:19:14 @ But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, "We will not have this man to reign over us.'

nkjv@Luke:19:15 @ "And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

nkjv@Luke:19:17 @ And he said to him, "Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.'

nkjv@Luke:19:19 @ Likewise he said to him, "You also be over five cities.'

nkjv@Luke:19:22 @ And he said to him, "Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.

nkjv@Luke:19:24 @ "And he said to those who stood by, "Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.'

nkjv@Luke:19:25 @ (But they said to him, "Master, he has ten minas.')

nkjv@Luke:19:26 @ "For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

nkjv@Luke:19:27 @ But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me."'

nkjv@Luke:19:28 @ When He had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Luke:19:29 @ And it came to pass, when He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples,

nkjv@Luke:19:31 @ And if anyone asks you, "Why are you loosing it?' thus you shall say to him, "Because the Lord has need of it."'

nkjv@Luke:19:32 @ So those who were sent went their way and found it just as He had said to them.

nkjv@Luke:19:33 @ But as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, "Why are you loosing the colt?"

nkjv@Luke:19:35 @ Then they brought him to Jesus. And they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him.

nkjv@Luke:19:37 @ Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen,

nkjv@Luke:19:39 @ And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples."

nkjv@Luke:19:40 @ But He answered and said to them, "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out."

nkjv@Luke:19:44 @ and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation."

nkjv@Luke:19:45 @ Then He went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,

nkjv@Luke:19:46 @ saying to them, "It is written, "My house is a house of prayer,' but you have made it a "den of thieves."'

nkjv@Luke:19:47 @ And He was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people sought to destroy Him,

nkjv@Luke:19:48 @ and were unable to do anything; for all the people were very attentive to hear Him.

nkjv@Luke:20:2 @ and spoke to Him, saying, "Tell us, by what authority are You doing these things? Or who is he who gave You this authority?"

nkjv@Luke:20:3 @ But He answered and said to them, "I also will ask you one thing, and answer Me:

nkjv@Luke:20:8 @ And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

nkjv@Luke:20:9 @ Then He began to tell the people this parable: "A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time.

nkjv@Luke:20:10 @ Now at vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that they might give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vinedressers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

nkjv@Luke:20:15 @ So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

nkjv@Luke:20:16 @ He will come and destroy those vinedressers and give the vineyard to others." And when they heard it they said, "Certainly not!"

nkjv@Luke:20:18 @ Whoever falls on that stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder."

nkjv@Luke:20:19 @ And the chief priests and the scribes that very hour sought to lay hands on Him, but they feared the people --for they knew He had spoken this parable against them.

nkjv@Luke:20:20 @ So they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might seize on His words, in order to deliver Him to the power and the authority of the governor.

nkjv@Luke:20:22 @ Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

nkjv@Luke:20:23 @ But He perceived their craftiness, and said to them, "Why do you test Me?

nkjv@Luke:20:25 @ And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

nkjv@Luke:20:27 @ Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,

nkjv@Luke:20:28 @ saying: "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

nkjv@Luke:20:34 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

nkjv@Luke:20:35 @ But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

nkjv@Luke:20:36 @ nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

nkjv@Luke:20:38 @ For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him."

nkjv@Luke:20:41 @ And He said to them, "How can they say that the Christ is the Son of David?

nkjv@Luke:20:42 @ Now David himself said in the Book of Psalms: "The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand,

nkjv@Luke:20:45 @ Then, in the hearing of all the people, He said to His disciples,

nkjv@Luke:20:46 @ "Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts,

nkjv@Luke:21:3 @ So He said, "Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all;

nkjv@Luke:21:7 @ So they asked Him, saying, "Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?"

nkjv@Luke:21:9 @ But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately."

nkjv@Luke:21:10 @ Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

nkjv@Luke:21:12 @ But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake.

nkjv@Luke:21:14 @ Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer;

nkjv@Luke:21:15 @ for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist.

nkjv@Luke:21:16 @ You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death.

nkjv@Luke:21:21 @ Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her.

nkjv@Luke:21:23 @ But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people.

nkjv@Luke:21:28 @ Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near."

nkjv@Luke:21:29 @ Then He spoke to them a parable: "Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.

nkjv@Luke:21:32 @ Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place.

nkjv@Luke:21:34 @ "But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.

nkjv@Luke:21:36 @ Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man."

nkjv@Luke:21:38 @ Then early in the morning all the people came to Him in the temple to hear Him.

nkjv@Luke:22:4 @ So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them.

nkjv@Luke:22:5 @ And they were glad, and agreed to give him money.

nkjv@Luke:22:6 @ So he promised and sought opportunity to betray Him to them in the absence of the multitude.

nkjv@Luke:22:9 @ So they said to Him, "Where do You want us to prepare?"

nkjv@Luke:22:10 @ And He said to them, "Behold, when you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house which he enters.

nkjv@Luke:22:11 @ Then you shall say to the master of the house, "The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"'

nkjv@Luke:22:13 @ So they went and found it just as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

nkjv@Luke:22:15 @ Then He said to them, "With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;

nkjv@Luke:22:16 @ for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."

nkjv@Luke:22:18 @ for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."

nkjv@Luke:22:19 @ And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

nkjv@Luke:22:22 @ And truly the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!"

nkjv@Luke:22:23 @ Then they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.

nkjv@Luke:22:24 @ Now there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest.

nkjv@Luke:22:25 @ And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called "benefactors.'

nkjv@Luke:22:32 @ But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren."

nkjv@Luke:22:33 @ But he said to Him, "Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death."

nkjv@Luke:22:35 @ And He said to them, "When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?" So they said, "Nothing."

nkjv@Luke:22:36 @ Then He said to them, "But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.

nkjv@Luke:22:37 @ For I say to you that this which is written must still be accomplished in Me: "And He was numbered with the transgressors.' For the things concerning Me have an end."

nkjv@Luke:22:38 @ So they said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." And He said to them, "It is enough."

nkjv@Luke:22:39 @ Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him.

nkjv@Luke:22:40 @ When He came to the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation."

nkjv@Luke:22:43 @ Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him.

nkjv@Luke:22:44 @ And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

nkjv@Luke:22:45 @ When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow.

nkjv@Luke:22:46 @ Then He said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation."

nkjv@Luke:22:47 @ And while He was still speaking, behold, a multitude; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him.

nkjv@Luke:22:48 @ But Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"

nkjv@Luke:22:49 @ When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"

nkjv@Luke:22:52 @ Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

nkjv@Luke:22:53 @ When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."

nkjv@Luke:22:61 @ And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."

nkjv@Luke:22:67 @ "If You are the Christ, tell us." But He said to them, "If I tell you, you will by no means believe.

nkjv@Luke:22:70 @ Then they all said, "Are You then the Son of God?" So He said to them, "You rightly say that I am."

nkjv@Luke:23:1 @ Then the whole multitude of them arose and led Him to Pilate.

nkjv@Luke:23:2 @ And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ, a King."

nkjv@Luke:23:4 @ So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, "I find no fault in this Man."

nkjv@Luke:23:5 @ But they were the more fierce, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place."

nkjv@Luke:23:7 @ And as soon as he knew that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.

nkjv@Luke:23:8 @ Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by Him.

nkjv@Luke:23:11 @ Then Herod, with his men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.

nkjv@Luke:23:14 @ said to them, "You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him;

nkjv@Luke:23:15 @ no, neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by Him.

nkjv@Luke:23:17 @ (for it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast).

nkjv@Luke:23:18 @ And they all cried out at once, saying, "Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas"--

nkjv@Luke:23:20 @ Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them.

nkjv@Luke:23:22 @ Then he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go."

nkjv@Luke:23:25 @ And he released to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

nkjv@Luke:23:28 @ But Jesus, turning to them, said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

nkjv@Luke:23:30 @ Then they will begin "to say to the mountains, "Fall on us!" and to the hills, "Cover us!"'

nkjv@Luke:23:32 @ There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death.

nkjv@Luke:23:33 @ And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left.

nkjv@Luke:23:42 @ Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom."

nkjv@Luke:23:43 @ And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."

nkjv@Luke:23:48 @ And the whole crowd who came together to that sight, seeing what had been done, beat their breasts and returned.

nkjv@Luke:23:51 @ He had not consented to their decision and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Luke:23:52 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

nkjv@Luke:23:56 @ Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.

nkjv@Luke:24:1 @ Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.

nkjv@Luke:24:5 @ Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?

nkjv@Luke:24:6 @ He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee,

nkjv@Luke:24:9 @ Then they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

nkjv@Luke:24:10 @ It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles.

nkjv@Luke:24:11 @ And their words seemed to them like idle tales, and they did not believe them.

nkjv@Luke:24:12 @ But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at what had happened.

nkjv@Luke:24:13 @ Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem.

nkjv@Luke:24:17 @ And He said to them, "What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and are sad?"

nkjv@Luke:24:18 @ Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, "Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not known the things which happened there in these days?"

nkjv@Luke:24:19 @ And He said to them, "What things?" So they said to Him, "The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,

nkjv@Luke:24:20 @ and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and crucified Him.

nkjv@Luke:24:21 @ But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.

nkjv@Luke:24:24 @ And certain of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but Him they did not see."

nkjv@Luke:24:25 @ Then He said to them, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

nkjv@Luke:24:26 @ Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?"

nkjv@Luke:24:27 @ And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

nkjv@Luke:24:28 @ Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and He indicated that He would have gone farther.

nkjv@Luke:24:29 @ But they constrained Him, saying, "Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent." And He went in to stay with them.

nkjv@Luke:24:30 @ Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.

nkjv@Luke:24:32 @ And they said to one another, "Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?"

nkjv@Luke:24:33 @ So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,

nkjv@Luke:24:34 @ saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!"

nkjv@Luke:24:35 @ And they told about the things that had happened on the road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of bread.

nkjv@Luke:24:36 @ Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, "Peace to you."

nkjv@Luke:24:38 @ And He said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?

nkjv@Luke:24:41 @ But while they still did not believe for joy, and marveled, He said to them, "Have you any food here?"

nkjv@Luke:24:44 @ Then He said to them, "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me."

nkjv@Luke:24:46 @ Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

nkjv@Luke:24:47 @ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

nkjv@Luke:24:51 @ Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.

nkjv@Luke:24:52 @ And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

nkjv@John:1:7 @ This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.

nkjv@John:1:8 @ He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

nkjv@John:1:9 @ That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

nkjv@John:1:11 @ He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

nkjv@John:1:12 @ But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

nkjv@John:1:19 @ Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

nkjv@John:1:22 @ Then they said to him, "Who are you, that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?"

nkjv@John:1:27 @ It is He who, coming after me, is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose."

nkjv@John:1:31 @ I did not know Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel, therefore I came baptizing with water."

nkjv@John:1:33 @ I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, "Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

nkjv@John:1:38 @ Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, "What do you seek?" They said to Him, "Rabbi" (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), "where are You staying?"

nkjv@John:1:39 @ He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour).

nkjv@John:1:41 @ He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated, the Christ).

nkjv@John:1:42 @ And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is translated, A Stone).

nkjv@John:1:43 @ The following day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and He found Philip and said to him, "Follow Me."

nkjv@John:1:45 @ Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

nkjv@John:1:46 @ And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

nkjv@John:1:48 @ Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

nkjv@John:1:49 @ Nathanael answered and said to Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"

nkjv@John:1:50 @ Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you, "I saw you under the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."

nkjv@John:1:51 @ And He said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man."

nkjv@John:2:2 @ Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.

nkjv@John:2:3 @ And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine."

nkjv@John:2:4 @ Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come."

nkjv@John:2:5 @ His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."

nkjv@John:2:6 @ Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece.

nkjv@John:2:7 @ Jesus said to them, "Fill the waterpots with water." And they filled them up to the brim.

nkjv@John:2:8 @ And He said to them, "Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast." And they took it.

nkjv@John:2:10 @ And he said to him, "Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!"

nkjv@John:2:12 @ After this He went down to Capernaum, He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days.

nkjv@John:2:13 @ Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@John:2:16 @ And He said to those who sold doves, "Take these things away! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!"

nkjv@John:2:18 @ So the Jews answered and said to Him, "What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?"

nkjv@John:2:19 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

nkjv@John:2:20 @ Then the Jews said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?"

nkjv@John:2:22 @ Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

nkjv@John:2:24 @ But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men,

nkjv@John:3:2 @ This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him."

nkjv@John:3:3 @ Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

nkjv@John:3:4 @ Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"

nkjv@John:3:5 @ Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

nkjv@John:3:7 @ Do not marvel that I said to you, "You must be born again.'

nkjv@John:3:9 @ Nicodemus answered and said to Him, "How can these things be?"

nkjv@John:3:10 @ Jesus answered and said to him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things?

nkjv@John:3:11 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.

nkjv@John:3:13 @ No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.

nkjv@John:3:17 @ For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

nkjv@John:3:20 @ For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

nkjv@John:3:21 @ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God."

nkjv@John:3:26 @ And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified--behold, He is baptizing, and all are coming to Him!"

nkjv@John:3:27 @ John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.

nkjv@John:4:3 @ He left Judea and departed again to Galilee.

nkjv@John:4:4 @ But He needed to go through Samaria.

nkjv@John:4:5 @ So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

nkjv@John:4:7 @ A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink."

nkjv@John:4:8 @ For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

nkjv@John:4:9 @ Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

nkjv@John:4:10 @ Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, "Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

nkjv@John:4:11 @ The woman said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water?

nkjv@John:4:13 @ Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,

nkjv@John:4:15 @ The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."

nkjv@John:4:16 @ Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."

nkjv@John:4:17 @ The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You have well said, "I have no husband,'

nkjv@John:4:19 @ The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.

nkjv@John:4:20 @ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship."

nkjv@John:4:21 @ Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.

nkjv@John:4:23 @ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

nkjv@John:4:25 @ The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When He comes, He will tell us all things."

nkjv@John:4:26 @ Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am He."

nkjv@John:4:28 @ The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men,

nkjv@John:4:30 @ Then they went out of the city and came to Him.

nkjv@John:4:32 @ But He said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."

nkjv@John:4:33 @ Therefore the disciples said to one another, "Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?"

nkjv@John:4:34 @ Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.

nkjv@John:4:35 @ Do you not say, "There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!

nkjv@John:4:38 @ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors."

nkjv@John:4:40 @ So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

nkjv@John:4:42 @ Then they said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."

nkjv@John:4:43 @ Now after the two days He departed from there and went to Galilee.

nkjv@John:4:45 @ So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they also had gone to the feast.

nkjv@John:4:46 @ So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.

nkjv@John:4:47 @ When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

nkjv@John:4:48 @ Then Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe."

nkjv@John:4:49 @ The nobleman said to Him, "Sir, come down before my child dies!"

nkjv@John:4:50 @ Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your son lives." So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

nkjv@John:4:52 @ Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

nkjv@John:4:53 @ So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." And he himself believed, and his whole household.

nkjv@John:5:1 @ After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@John:5:6 @ When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, "Do you want to be made well?"

nkjv@John:5:7 @ The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me."

nkjv@John:5:8 @ Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed and walk."

nkjv@John:5:10 @ The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed."

nkjv@John:5:11 @ He answered them, "He who made me well said to me, "Take up your bed and walk."'

nkjv@John:5:12 @ Then they asked him, "Who is the Man who said to you, "Take up your bed and walk'?"

nkjv@John:5:14 @ Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you."

nkjv@John:5:16 @ For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.

nkjv@John:5:18 @ Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.

nkjv@John:5:19 @ Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

nkjv@John:5:21 @ For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will.

nkjv@John:5:22 @ For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,

nkjv@John:5:24 @ "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

nkjv@John:5:25 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.

nkjv@John:5:26 @ For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,

nkjv@John:5:27 @ and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.

nkjv@John:5:29 @ and come forth--those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

nkjv@John:5:33 @ You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

nkjv@John:5:35 @ He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.

nkjv@John:5:36 @ But I have a greater witness than John's; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish--the very works that I do--bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.

nkjv@John:5:40 @ But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

nkjv@John:5:45 @ Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you--Moses, in whom you trust.

nkjv@John:6:5 @ Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?"

nkjv@John:6:6 @ But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.

nkjv@John:6:8 @ One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,

nkjv@John:6:11 @ And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.

nkjv@John:6:12 @ So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost."

nkjv@John:6:14 @ Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."

nkjv@John:6:15 @ Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.

nkjv@John:6:16 @ Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

nkjv@John:6:17 @ got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

nkjv@John:6:20 @ But He said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."

nkjv@John:6:24 @ when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they also got into boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

nkjv@John:6:25 @ And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when did You come here?"

nkjv@John:6:26 @ Jesus answered them and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.

nkjv@John:6:27 @ Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him."

nkjv@John:6:28 @ Then they said to Him, "What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?"

nkjv@John:6:29 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent."

nkjv@John:6:30 @ Therefore they said to Him, "What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?

nkjv@John:6:31 @ Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat."'

nkjv@John:6:32 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

nkjv@John:6:33 @ For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

nkjv@John:6:34 @ Then they said to Him, "Lord, give us this bread always."

nkjv@John:6:35 @ And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

nkjv@John:6:36 @ But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe.

nkjv@John:6:37 @ All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.

nkjv@John:6:38 @ For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

nkjv@John:6:43 @ Jesus therefore answered and said to them, "Do not murmur among yourselves.

nkjv@John:6:44 @ No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

nkjv@John:6:45 @ It is written in the prophets, "And they shall all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.

nkjv@John:6:47 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.

nkjv@John:6:52 @ The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?"

nkjv@John:6:53 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.

nkjv@John:6:61 @ When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, "Does this offend you?

nkjv@John:6:63 @ It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

nkjv@John:6:65 @ And He said, "Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father."

nkjv@John:6:67 @ Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?"

nkjv@John:6:68 @ But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.

nkjv@John:6:69 @ Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

nkjv@John:7:1 @ After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for He did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him.

nkjv@John:7:3 @ His brothers therefore said to Him, "Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing.

nkjv@John:7:4 @ For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world."

nkjv@John:7:6 @ Then Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

nkjv@John:7:8 @ You go up to this feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come."

nkjv@John:7:9 @ When He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.

nkjv@John:7:10 @ But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

nkjv@John:7:17 @ If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.

nkjv@John:7:19 @ Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?"

nkjv@John:7:20 @ The people answered and said, "You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?"

nkjv@John:7:21 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "I did one work, and you all marvel.

nkjv@John:7:24 @ Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."

nkjv@John:7:25 @ Now some of them from Jerusalem said, "Is this not He whom they seek to kill?

nkjv@John:7:26 @ But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ?

nkjv@John:7:30 @ Therefore they sought to take Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

nkjv@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him.

nkjv@John:7:33 @ Then Jesus said to them, "I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to Him who sent Me.

nkjv@John:7:35 @ Then the Jews said among themselves, "Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

nkjv@John:7:37 @ On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.

nkjv@John:7:44 @ Now some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.

nkjv@John:7:45 @ Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why have you not brought Him?"

nkjv@John:7:50 @ Nicodemus (he who came to Jesus by night, being one of them) said to them,

nkjv@John:7:52 @ They answered and said to him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for no prophet has arisen out of Galilee."

nkjv@John:7:53 @ And everyone went to his own house.

nkjv@John:8:1 @ But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

nkjv@John:8:2 @ Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them.

nkjv@John:8:3 @ Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst,

nkjv@John:8:4 @ they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act.

nkjv@John:8:6 @ This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear.

nkjv@John:8:7 @ So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first."

nkjv@John:8:9 @ Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

nkjv@John:8:10 @ When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?"

nkjv@John:8:11 @ She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."

nkjv@John:8:12 @ Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."

nkjv@John:8:13 @ The Pharisees therefore said to Him, "You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true."

nkjv@John:8:14 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.

nkjv@John:8:15 @ You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.

nkjv@John:8:19 @ Then they said to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also."

nkjv@John:8:21 @ Then Jesus said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come."

nkjv@John:8:23 @ And He said to them, "You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

nkjv@John:8:24 @ Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

nkjv@John:8:25 @ Then they said to Him, "Who are You?" And Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

nkjv@John:8:26 @ I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him."

nkjv@John:8:27 @ They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father.

nkjv@John:8:28 @ Then Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.

nkjv@John:8:31 @ Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.

nkjv@John:8:33 @ They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, "You will be made free'?"

nkjv@John:8:34 @ Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.

nkjv@John:8:37 @ "I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

nkjv@John:8:39 @ They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

nkjv@John:8:40 @ But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

nkjv@John:8:41 @ You do the deeds of your father." Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father--God."

nkjv@John:8:42 @ Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.

nkjv@John:8:43 @ Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.

nkjv@John:8:44 @ You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

nkjv@John:8:48 @ Then the Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

nkjv@John:8:51 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death."

nkjv@John:8:52 @ Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, "If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.'

nkjv@John:8:53 @ Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?"

nkjv@John:8:56 @ Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."

nkjv@John:8:57 @ Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"

nkjv@John:8:58 @ Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."

nkjv@John:8:59 @ Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

nkjv@John:9:7 @ And He said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

nkjv@John:9:10 @ Therefore they said to him, "How were your eyes opened?"

nkjv@John:9:11 @ He answered and said, "A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, "Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed, and I received sight."

nkjv@John:9:12 @ Then they said to him, "Where is He?" He said, "I do not know."

nkjv@John:9:13 @ They brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees.

nkjv@John:9:15 @ Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."

nkjv@John:9:17 @ They said to the blind man again, "What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

nkjv@John:9:24 @ So they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, "Give God the glory! We know that this Man is a sinner."

nkjv@John:9:26 @ Then they said to him again, "What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?"

nkjv@John:9:27 @ He answered them, "I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?"

nkjv@John:9:29 @ We know that God spoke to Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where He is from."

nkjv@John:9:30 @ The man answered and said to them, "Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes!

nkjv@John:9:34 @ They answered and said to him, "You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?" And they cast him out.

nkjv@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"

nkjv@John:9:37 @ And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you."

nkjv@John:9:40 @ Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, "Are we blind also?"

nkjv@John:9:41 @ Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, "We see.' Therefore your sin remains.

nkjv@John:10:1 @ "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

nkjv@John:10:3 @ To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

nkjv@John:10:6 @ Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.

nkjv@John:10:7 @ Then Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

nkjv@John:10:10 @ The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

nkjv@John:10:18 @ No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father."

nkjv@John:10:20 @ And many of them said, "He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?"

nkjv@John:10:24 @ Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, "How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly."

nkjv@John:10:26 @ But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.

nkjv@John:10:29 @ My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand.

nkjv@John:10:31 @ Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.

nkjv@John:10:35 @ If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),

nkjv@John:10:39 @ Therefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand.

nkjv@John:10:40 @ And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptizing at first, and there He stayed.

nkjv@John:10:41 @ Then many came to Him and said, "John performed no sign, but all the things that John spoke about this Man were true."

nkjv@John:11:3 @ Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, "Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick."

nkjv@John:11:7 @ Then after this He said to the disciples, "Let us go to Judea again."

nkjv@John:11:8 @ The disciples said to Him, "Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to stone You, and are You going there again?"

nkjv@John:11:11 @ These things He said, and after that He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up."

nkjv@John:11:14 @ Then Jesus said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead.

nkjv@John:11:15 @ And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him."

nkjv@John:11:16 @ Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with Him."

nkjv@John:11:19 @ And many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

nkjv@John:11:21 @ Now Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

nkjv@John:11:23 @ Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

nkjv@John:11:24 @ Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

nkjv@John:11:25 @ Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.

nkjv@John:11:27 @ She said to Him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world."

nkjv@John:11:29 @ As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came to Him.

nkjv@John:11:31 @ Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, "She is going to the tomb to weep there."

nkjv@John:11:32 @ Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."

nkjv@John:11:34 @ And He said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to Him, "Lord, come and see."

nkjv@John:11:38 @ Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

nkjv@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."

nkjv@John:11:40 @ Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"

nkjv@John:11:44 @ And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let him go."

nkjv@John:11:45 @ Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him.

nkjv@John:11:46 @ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things Jesus did.

nkjv@John:11:49 @ And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,

nkjv@John:11:54 @ Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there remained with His disciples.

nkjv@John:11:55 @ And the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

nkjv@John:11:56 @ Then they sought Jesus, and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, "What do you think--that He will not come to the feast?"

nkjv@John:12:1 @ Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead.

nkjv@John:12:5 @ "Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"

nkjv@John:12:6 @ This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.

nkjv@John:12:10 @ But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also,

nkjv@John:12:12 @ The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

nkjv@John:12:13 @ took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out: "Hosanna! "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!' The King of Israel!"

nkjv@John:12:16 @ His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.

nkjv@John:12:20 @ Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast.

nkjv@John:12:21 @ Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

nkjv@John:12:24 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.

nkjv@John:12:27 @ "Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? "Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this purpose I came to this hour.

nkjv@John:12:29 @ Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to Him."

nkjv@John:12:32 @ And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself."

nkjv@John:12:35 @ Then Jesus said to them, "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.

nkjv@John:12:38 @ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: "Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?"

nkjv@John:12:47 @ And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

nkjv@John:13:1 @ Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

nkjv@John:13:2 @ And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him,

nkjv@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,

nkjv@John:13:5 @ After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

nkjv@John:13:6 @ Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, "Lord, are You washing my feet?"

nkjv@John:13:7 @ Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this."

nkjv@John:13:8 @ Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."

nkjv@John:13:9 @ Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"

nkjv@John:13:10 @ Jesus said to him, "He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."

nkjv@John:13:12 @ So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

nkjv@John:13:14 @ If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

nkjv@John:13:15 @ For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

nkjv@John:13:16 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

nkjv@John:13:19 @ Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He.

nkjv@John:13:20 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."

nkjv@John:13:21 @ When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me."

nkjv@John:13:24 @ Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.

nkjv@John:13:25 @ Then, leaning back on Jesus' breast, he said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"

nkjv@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it." And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

nkjv@John:13:27 @ Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."

nkjv@John:13:28 @ But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him.

nkjv@John:13:29 @ For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, "Buy those things we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.

nkjv@John:13:33 @ Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, "Where I am going, you cannot come,' so now I say to you.

nkjv@John:13:34 @ A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

nkjv@John:13:36 @ Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?" Jesus answered him, "Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but you shall follow Me afterward."

nkjv@John:13:37 @ Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake."

nkjv@John:13:38 @ Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not crow till you have denied Me three times.

nkjv@John:14:2 @ In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

nkjv@John:14:3 @ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

nkjv@John:14:5 @ Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?"

nkjv@John:14:6 @ Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

nkjv@John:14:8 @ Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us."

nkjv@John:14:9 @ Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, "Show us the Father'?

nkjv@John:14:10 @ Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

nkjv@John:14:12 @ "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

nkjv@John:14:21 @ He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him."

nkjv@John:14:22 @ Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?"

nkjv@John:14:23 @ Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

nkjv@John:18:6 @ Now when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground.

nkjv@John:18:11 @ So Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?"

nkjv@John:18:13 @ And they led Him away to Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was high priest that year.

nkjv@John:18:15 @ And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

nkjv@John:18:17 @ Then the servant girl who kept the door said to Peter, "You are not also one of this Man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not."

nkjv@John:18:20 @ Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet, and in secret I have said nothing.

nkjv@John:18:21 @ Why do you ask Me? Ask those who have heard Me what I said to them. Indeed they know what I said."

nkjv@John:18:24 @ Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

nkjv@John:18:25 @ Now Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. Therefore they said to him, "You are not also one of His disciples, are you?" He denied it and said, "I am not!"

nkjv@John:18:28 @ Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.

nkjv@John:18:29 @ Pilate then went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this Man?"

nkjv@John:18:30 @ They answered and said to him, "If He were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him up to you."

nkjv@John:18:31 @ Then Pilate said to them, "You take Him and judge Him according to your law." Therefore the Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,"

nkjv@John:18:33 @ Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"

nkjv@John:18:35 @ Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?"

nkjv@John:18:36 @ Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here."

nkjv@John:18:37 @ Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."

nkjv@John:18:38 @ Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no fault in Him at all.

nkjv@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God."

nkjv@John:19:9 @ and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, "Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.

nkjv@John:19:10 @ Then Pilate said to Him, "Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have power to crucify You, and power to release You?"

nkjv@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered, "You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin."

nkjv@John:19:12 @ From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar's friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

nkjv@John:19:14 @ Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"

nkjv@John:19:15 @ But they cried out, "Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"

nkjv@John:19:17 @ And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha,

nkjv@John:19:23 @ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.

nkjv@John:19:26 @ When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!"

nkjv@John:19:27 @ Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.

nkjv@John:19:29 @ Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth.

nkjv@John:19:33 @ But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

nkjv@John:19:39 @ And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

nkjv@John:19:40 @ Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

nkjv@John:20:16 @ Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to Him, "Rabboni!" (which is to say, Teacher).

nkjv@John:20:17 @ Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, "I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God."'

nkjv@John:20:18 @ Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.

nkjv@John:20:19 @ Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be with you."

nkjv@John:20:21 @ So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."

nkjv@John:20:22 @ And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@John:20:27 @ Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing."

nkjv@John:20:28 @ And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"

nkjv@John:20:29 @ Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

nkjv@John:21:1 @ After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself:

nkjv@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We are going with you also." They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.

nkjv@John:21:5 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Children, have you any food?" They answered Him, "No."

nkjv@John:21:6 @ And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.

nkjv@John:21:7 @ Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.

nkjv@John:21:9 @ Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

nkjv@John:21:10 @ Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught."

nkjv@John:21:11 @ Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.

nkjv@John:21:12 @ Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast." Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, "Who are You?"--knowing that it was the Lord.

nkjv@John:21:13 @ Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.

nkjv@John:21:14 @ This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.

nkjv@John:21:15 @ So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Feed My lambs."

nkjv@John:21:16 @ He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Tend My sheep."

nkjv@John:21:17 @ He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep.

nkjv@John:21:18 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish."

nkjv@John:21:22 @ Jesus said to him, "If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me."

nkjv@John:21:23 @ Then this saying went out among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you?"

nkjv@Acts:1:1 @ The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

nkjv@Acts:1:2 @ until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen,

nkjv@Acts:1:3 @ to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Acts:1:4 @ And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me;

nkjv@Acts:1:6 @ Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"

nkjv@Acts:1:7 @ And He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.

nkjv@Acts:1:8 @ But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

nkjv@Acts:1:12 @ Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey.

nkjv@Acts:1:16 @ "Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus;

nkjv@Acts:1:19 @ And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.)

nkjv@Acts:1:22 @ beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection."

nkjv@Acts:2:4 @ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

nkjv@Acts:2:7 @ Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, "Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?

nkjv@Acts:2:12 @ So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "Whatever could this mean?"

nkjv@Acts:2:14 @ But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words.

nkjv@Acts:2:17 @ "And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.

nkjv@Acts:2:22 @ "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know--

nkjv@Acts:2:23 @ Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death;

nkjv@Acts:2:39 @ For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call."

nkjv@Acts:2:41 @ Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.

nkjv@Acts:2:46 @ So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,

nkjv@Acts:2:47 @ praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

nkjv@Acts:3:1 @ Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

nkjv@Acts:3:2 @ And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple;

nkjv@Acts:3:3 @ who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms.

nkjv@Acts:3:5 @ So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

nkjv@Acts:3:10 @ Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

nkjv@Acts:3:11 @ Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch which is called Solomon's, greatly amazed.

nkjv@Acts:3:12 @ So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: "Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

nkjv@Acts:3:13 @ The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go.

nkjv@Acts:3:14 @ But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,

nkjv@Acts:3:20 @ and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before,

nkjv@Acts:3:22 @ For Moses truly said to the fathers, "The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you.

nkjv@Acts:3:25 @ You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, "And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'

nkjv@Acts:3:26 @ To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities."

nkjv@Acts:4:1 @ Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them,

nkjv@Acts:4:4 @ However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

nkjv@Acts:4:5 @ And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes,

nkjv@Acts:4:8 @ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:

nkjv@Acts:4:16 @ saying, "What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

nkjv@Acts:4:17 @ But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name."

nkjv@Acts:4:18 @ So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

nkjv@Acts:4:19 @ But Peter and John answered and said to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge.

nkjv@Acts:4:23 @ And being let go, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

nkjv@Acts:4:24 @ So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: "Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them,

nkjv@Acts:4:28 @ to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done.

nkjv@Acts:4:29 @ Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word,

nkjv@Acts:4:30 @ by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus."

nkjv@Acts:4:33 @ And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.

nkjv@Acts:4:35 @ and laid them at the apostles' feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.

nkjv@Acts:5:3 @ But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself?

nkjv@Acts:5:4 @ While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."

nkjv@Acts:5:9 @ Then Peter said to her, "How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."

nkjv@Acts:5:14 @ And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,

nkjv@Acts:5:16 @ Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

nkjv@Acts:5:20 @ "Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life."

nkjv@Acts:5:21 @ And when they heard that, they entered the temple early in the morning and taught. But the high priest and those with him came and called the council together, with all the elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

nkjv@Acts:5:28 @ saying, "Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this Man's blood on us!"

nkjv@Acts:5:29 @ But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: "We ought to obey God rather than men.

nkjv@Acts:5:31 @ Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

nkjv@Acts:5:32 @ And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him."

nkjv@Acts:5:33 @ When they heard this, they were furious and plotted to kill them.

nkjv@Acts:5:34 @ Then one in the council stood up, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in respect by all the people, and commanded them to put the apostles outside for a little while.

nkjv@Acts:5:35 @ And he said to them: "Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do regarding these men.

nkjv@Acts:5:36 @ For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody. A number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was slain, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing.

nkjv@Acts:5:38 @ And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing;

nkjv@Acts:5:39 @ but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it--lest you even be found to fight against God."

nkjv@Acts:5:41 @ So they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name.

nkjv@Acts:6:4 @ but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word."

nkjv@Acts:6:7 @ Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.

nkjv@Acts:6:10 @ And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.

nkjv@Acts:6:11 @ Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God."

nkjv@Acts:6:12 @ And they stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes; and they came upon him, seized him, and brought him to the council.

nkjv@Acts:6:13 @ They also set up false witnesses who said, "This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law;

nkjv@Acts:11:13 @ And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, "Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter,

nkjv@Acts:11:15 @ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning.

nkjv@Acts:11:18 @ When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life."

nkjv@Acts:11:19 @ Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but the Jews only.

nkjv@Acts:11:20 @ But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.

nkjv@Acts:11:21 @ And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

nkjv@Acts:11:22 @ Then news of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch.

nkjv@Acts:11:24 @ For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord.

nkjv@Acts:11:25 @ Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul.

nkjv@Acts:11:26 @ And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

nkjv@Acts:11:27 @ And in these days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.

nkjv@Acts:11:28 @ Then one of them, named Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius Caesar.

nkjv@Acts:11:29 @ Then the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea.

nkjv@Acts:11:30 @ This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

nkjv@Acts:12:1 @ Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church.

nkjv@Acts:12:3 @ And because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also. Now it was during the Days of Unleavened Bread.

nkjv@Acts:12:4 @ So when he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover.

nkjv@Acts:12:5 @ Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.

nkjv@Acts:12:6 @ And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison.

nkjv@Acts:12:8 @ Then the angel said to him, "Gird yourself and tie on your sandals"; and so he did. And he said to him, "Put on your garment and follow me."

nkjv@Acts:12:10 @ When they were past the first and the second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened to them of its own accord; and they went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.

nkjv@Acts:12:11 @ And when Peter had come to himself, he said, "Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people."

nkjv@Acts:12:12 @ So, when he had considered this, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together praying.

nkjv@Acts:12:13 @ And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a girl named Rhoda came to answer.

nkjv@Acts:12:15 @ But they said to her, "You are beside yourself!" Yet she kept insisting that it was so. So they said, "It is his angel."

nkjv@Acts:12:17 @ But motioning to them with his hand to keep silent, he declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, "Go, tell these things to James and to the brethren." And he departed and went to another place.

nkjv@Acts:12:19 @ But when Herod had searched for him and not found him, he examined the guards and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.

nkjv@Acts:12:20 @ Now Herod had been very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; but they came to him with one accord, and having made Blastus the king's personal aide their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food by the king's country.

nkjv@Acts:12:21 @ So on a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat on his throne and gave an oration to them.

nkjv@Acts:12:23 @ Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died.

nkjv@Acts:13:2 @ As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."

nkjv@Acts:13:4 @ So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus.

nkjv@Acts:13:6 @ Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus,

nkjv@Acts:13:7 @ who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.

nkjv@Acts:13:8 @ But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

nkjv@Acts:13:11 @ And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time." And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

nkjv@Acts:13:13 @ Now when Paul and his party set sail from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia; and John, departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:13:14 @ But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.

nkjv@Acts:13:15 @ And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Men and brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say on."

nkjv@Acts:13:19 @ And when He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He distributed their land to them by allotment.

nkjv@Acts:13:22 @ And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, "I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.'

nkjv@Acts:13:23 @ From this man's seed, according to the promise, God raised up for Israel a Savior--Jesus--

nkjv@Acts:13:24 @ after John had first preached, before His coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

nkjv@Acts:13:25 @ And as John was finishing his course, he said, "Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, there comes One after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.'

nkjv@Acts:13:26 @ "Men and brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of this salvation has been sent.

nkjv@Acts:13:28 @ And though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death.

nkjv@Acts:13:31 @ He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.

nkjv@Acts:13:32 @ And we declare to you glad tidings--that promise which was made to the fathers.

nkjv@Acts:13:34 @ And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has spoken thus: "I will give you the sure mercies of David.'

nkjv@Acts:13:35 @ Therefore He also says in another Psalm: "You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.'

nkjv@Acts:13:38 @ Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;

nkjv@Acts:13:41 @ "Behold, you despisers, Marvel and perish! For I work a work in your days, A work which you will by no means believe, Though one were to declare it to you."'

nkjv@Acts:13:42 @ So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.

nkjv@Acts:13:43 @ Now when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

nkjv@Acts:13:44 @ On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.

nkjv@Acts:13:46 @ Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, "It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

nkjv@Acts:13:47 @ For so the Lord has commanded us: "I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth."'

nkjv@Acts:13:48 @ Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.

nkjv@Acts:13:51 @ But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

nkjv@Acts:14:1 @ Now it happened in Iconium that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed.

nkjv@Acts:14:3 @ Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

nkjv@Acts:14:5 @ And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to abuse and stone them,

nkjv@Acts:14:6 @ they became aware of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region.

nkjv@Acts:14:9 @ This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

nkjv@Acts:14:11 @ Now when the people saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!"

nkjv@Acts:14:13 @ Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, intending to sacrifice with the multitudes.

nkjv@Acts:14:15 @ and saying, "Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them,

nkjv@Acts:14:16 @ who in bygone generations allowed all nations to walk in their own ways.

nkjv@Acts:14:18 @ And with these sayings they could scarcely restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them.

nkjv@Acts:14:19 @ Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.

nkjv@Acts:14:20 @ However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

nkjv@Acts:14:21 @ And when they had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

nkjv@Acts:14:22 @ strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, "We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God."

nkjv@Acts:14:23 @ So when they had appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

nkjv@Acts:14:24 @ And after they had passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

nkjv@Acts:14:25 @ Now when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

nkjv@Acts:14:26 @ From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had completed.

nkjv@Acts:14:27 @ Now when they had come and gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

nkjv@Acts:15:1 @ And certain men came down from Judea and taught the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."

nkjv@Acts:15:2 @ Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and dispute with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them should go up to Jerusalem, to the apostles and elders, about this question.

nkjv@Acts:15:3 @ So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.

nkjv@Acts:15:4 @ And when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders; and they reported all things that God had done with them.

nkjv@Acts:15:5 @ But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses."

nkjv@Acts:15:6 @ Now the apostles and elders came together to consider this matter.

nkjv@Acts:15:7 @ And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: "Men and brethren, you know that a good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.

nkjv@Acts:15:8 @ So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us,

nkjv@Acts:15:10 @ Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

nkjv@Acts:15:12 @ Then all the multitude kept silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul declaring how many miracles and wonders God had worked through them among the Gentiles.

nkjv@Acts:15:13 @ And after they had become silent, James answered, saying, "Men and brethren, listen to me:

nkjv@Acts:15:14 @ Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name.

nkjv@Acts:15:18 @ "Known to God from eternity are all His works.

nkjv@Acts:15:19 @ Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God,

nkjv@Acts:15:20 @ but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood.

nkjv@Acts:15:22 @ Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas who was also named Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.

nkjv@Acts:15:23 @...elders, and the brethren, To the...

nkjv@Acts:15:25 @ it seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

nkjv@Acts:15:28 @ For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:

nkjv@Acts:15:29 @ that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.

nkjv@Acts:15:30 @ So when they were sent off, they came to Antioch; and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.

nkjv@Acts:15:33 @ And after they had stayed there for a time, they were sent back with greetings from the brethren to the apostles.

nkjv@Acts:15:34 @ However, it seemed good to Silas to remain there.

nkjv@Acts:15:36 @ Then after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us now go back and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing."

nkjv@Acts:15:37 @ Now Barnabas was determined to take with them John called Mark.

nkjv@Acts:15:38 @ But Paul insisted that they should not take with them the one who had departed from them in Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work.

nkjv@Acts:15:39 @ Then the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another. And so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus;

nkjv@Acts:15:40 @ but Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of God.

nkjv@Acts:16:1 @ Then he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain Jewish woman who believed, but his father was Greek.

nkjv@Acts:16:3 @ Paul wanted to have him go on with him. And he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in that region, for they all knew that his father was Greek.

nkjv@Acts:16:4 @ And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, which were determined by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:16:6 @ Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia.

nkjv@Acts:16:7 @ After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them.

nkjv@Acts:16:8 @ So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

nkjv@Acts:16:9 @ And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."

nkjv@Acts:16:10 @ Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.

nkjv@Acts:16:11 @ Therefore, sailing from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day came to Neapolis,

nkjv@Acts:16:12 @ and from there to Philippi, which is the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city for some days.

nkjv@Acts:16:13 @ And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there.

nkjv@Acts:16:14 @ Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul.

nkjv@Acts:16:15 @ And when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay." So she persuaded us.

nkjv@Acts:16:16 @ Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling.

nkjv@Acts:16:17 @ This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, "These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation."

nkjv@Acts:16:18 @ And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And he came out that very hour.

nkjv@Acts:16:19 @ But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities.

nkjv@Acts:16:20 @ And they brought them to the magistrates, and said, "These men, being Jews, exceedingly trouble our city;

nkjv@Acts:16:21 @ and they teach customs which are not lawful for us, being Romans, to receive or observe."

nkjv@Acts:16:22 @ Then the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods.

nkjv@Acts:16:23 @ And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely.

nkjv@Acts:16:25 @ But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

nkjv@Acts:16:27 @ And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself.

nkjv@Acts:16:30 @ And he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

nkjv@Acts:16:32 @ Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

nkjv@Acts:16:36 @ So the keeper of the prison reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go. Now therefore depart, and go in peace."

nkjv@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us openly, uncondemned Romans, and have thrown us into prison. And now do they put us out secretly? No indeed! Let them come themselves and get us out."

nkjv@Acts:16:38 @ And the officers told these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.

nkjv@Acts:16:39 @ Then they came and pleaded with them and brought them out, and asked them to depart from the city.

nkjv@Acts:17:1 @ Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

nkjv@Acts:17:2 @ Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

nkjv@Acts:17:3 @ explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ."

nkjv@Acts:17:5 @ But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.

nkjv@Acts:17:6 @ But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, "These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.

nkjv@Acts:17:7 @ Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king--Jesus."

nkjv@Acts:17:10 @ Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.

nkjv@Acts:17:11 @ These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.

nkjv@Acts:17:14 @ Then immediately the brethren sent Paul away, to go to the sea; but both Silas and Timothy remained there.

nkjv@Acts:17:15 @ So those who conducted Paul brought him to Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed.

nkjv@Acts:17:16 @ Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols.

nkjv@Acts:17:17 @ Therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and with the Gentile worshipers, and in the marketplace daily with those who happened to be there.

nkjv@Acts:17:18 @ Then certain Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, "What does this babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods," because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.

nkjv@Acts:17:19 @ And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new doctrine is of which you speak?

nkjv@Acts:17:20 @ For you are bringing some strange things to our ears. Therefore we want to know what these things mean."

nkjv@Acts:17:21 @ For all the Athenians and the foreigners who were there spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or to hear some new thing.

nkjv@Acts:17:23 @ for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you:

nkjv@Acts:17:25 @ Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.

nkjv@Acts:17:26 @ And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,

nkjv@Acts:17:29 @ Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man's devising.

nkjv@Acts:17:30 @ Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,

nkjv@Acts:17:31 @ because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead."

nkjv@Acts:18:1 @ After these things Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth.

nkjv@Acts:18:2 @ And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome); and he came to them.

nkjv@Acts:18:5 @ When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

nkjv@Acts:18:6 @ But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, "Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."

nkjv@Acts:18:7 @ And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

nkjv@Acts:18:9 @ Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent;

nkjv@Acts:18:10 @ for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city."

nkjv@Acts:18:12 @ When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat,

nkjv@Acts:18:13 @ saying, "This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law."

nkjv@Acts:18:14 @ And when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrongdoing or wicked crimes, O Jews, there would be reason why I should bear with you.

nkjv@Acts:18:15 @ But if it is a question of words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; for I do not want to be a judge of such matters."

nkjv@Acts:18:19 @ And he came to Ephesus, and left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

nkjv@Acts:18:20 @ When they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent,

nkjv@Acts:18:21 @ but took leave of them, saying, "I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, God willing." And he sailed from Ephesus.

nkjv@Acts:18:22 @ And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up and greeted the church, he went down to Antioch.

nkjv@Acts:18:24 @ Now a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus.

nkjv@Acts:18:26 @ So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

nkjv@Acts:18:27 @ And when he desired to cross to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; and when he arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;

nkjv@Acts:19:1 @ And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples

nkjv@Acts:19:2 @ he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" So they said to him, "We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit."

nkjv@Acts:19:3 @ And he said to them, "Into what then were you baptized?" So they said, "Into John's baptism."

nkjv@Acts:19:4 @ Then Paul said, "John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus."

nkjv@Acts:19:12 @ so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.

nkjv@Acts:19:13 @ Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, "We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches."

nkjv@Acts:19:17 @ This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

nkjv@Acts:19:21 @ When these things were accomplished, Paul purposed in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."

nkjv@Acts:19:22 @ So he sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, but he himself stayed in Asia for a time.

nkjv@Acts:19:24 @ For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, brought no small profit to the craftsmen.

nkjv@Acts:19:30 @ And when Paul wanted to go in to the people, the disciples would not allow him.

nkjv@Acts:19:31 @ Then some of the officials of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him pleading that he would not venture into the theater.

nkjv@Acts:19:33 @ And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander motioned with his hand, and wanted to make his defense to the people.

nkjv@Acts:19:36 @ Therefore, since these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rashly.

nkjv@Acts:19:39 @ But if you have any other inquiry to make, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly.

nkjv@Acts:19:40 @ For we are in danger of being called in question for today's uproar, there being no reason which we may give to account for this disorderly gathering."

nkjv@Acts:20:1 @ After the uproar had ceased, Paul called the disciples to himself, embraced them, and departed to go to Macedonia.

nkjv@Acts:20:2 @ Now when he had gone over that region and encouraged them with many words, he came to Greece

nkjv@Acts:20:3 @ and stayed three months. And when the Jews plotted against him as he was about to sail to Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.

nkjv@Acts:20:4 @ And Sopater of Berea accompanied him to Asia--also Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

nkjv@Acts:20:7 @ Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight.

nkjv@Acts:20:13 @ Then we went ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, there intending to take Paul on board; for so he had given orders, intending himself to go on foot.

nkjv@Acts:20:14 @ And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.

nkjv@Acts:20:15 @ We sailed from there, and the next day came opposite Chios. The following day we arrived at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium. The next day we came to Miletus.

nkjv@Acts:20:16 @ For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the Day of Pentecost.

nkjv@Acts:20:17 @ From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church.

nkjv@Acts:20:18 @ And when they had come to him, he said to them: "You know, from the first day that I came to Asia, in what manner I always lived among you,

nkjv@Acts:20:19 @ serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears and trials which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews;

nkjv@Acts:20:20 @ how I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house,

nkjv@Acts:20:21 @ testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Acts:20:22 @ And see, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,

nkjv@Acts:20:24 @ But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

nkjv@Acts:20:26 @ Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.

nkjv@Acts:20:27 @ For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.

nkjv@Acts:20:28 @ Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

nkjv@Acts:20:30 @ Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

nkjv@Acts:20:31 @ Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.

nkjv@Acts:20:32 @ "So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

nkjv@Acts:20:35 @ I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive."'

nkjv@Acts:20:38 @ sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they would see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.

nkjv@Acts:21:1 @ Now it came to pass, that when we had departed from them and set sail, running a straight course we came to Cos, the following day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

nkjv@Acts:21:2 @ And finding a ship sailing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.

nkjv@Acts:21:3 @ When we had sighted Cyprus, we passed it on the left, sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload her cargo.

nkjv@Acts:21:4 @ And finding disciples, we stayed there seven days. They told Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:21:5 @ When we had come to the end of those days, we departed and went on our way; and they all accompanied us, with wives and children, till we were out of the city. And we knelt down on the shore and prayed.

nkjv@Acts:21:7 @ And when we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, greeted the brethren, and stayed with them one day.

nkjv@Acts:21:8 @ On the next day we who were Paul's companions departed and came to Caesarea, and entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

nkjv@Acts:21:11 @ When he had come to us, he took Paul's belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, "So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles."'

nkjv@Acts:21:12 @ Now when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:21:13 @ Then Paul answered, "What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."

nkjv@Acts:21:15 @ And after those days we packed and went up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:21:16 @ Also some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us and brought with them a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we were to lodge.

nkjv@Acts:21:17 @ And when we had come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

nkjv@Acts:21:18 @ On the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.

nkjv@Acts:21:20 @ And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord. And they said to him, "You see, brother, how many myriads of Jews there are who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law;

nkjv@Acts:21:21 @ but they have been informed about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children nor to walk according to the customs.

nkjv@Acts:21:25 @ But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written and decided that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality."

nkjv@Acts:21:26 @ Then Paul took the men, and the next day, having been purified with them, entered the temple to announce the expiration of the days of purification, at which time an offering should be made for each one of them.

nkjv@Acts:21:31 @ Now as they were seeking to kill him, news came to the commander of the garrison that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

nkjv@Acts:21:32 @ He immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. And when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.

nkjv@Acts:21:33 @ Then the commander came near and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and he asked who he was and what he had done.

nkjv@Acts:21:34 @ And some among the multitude cried one thing and some another. So when he could not ascertain the truth because of the tumult, he commanded him to be taken into the barracks.

nkjv@Acts:21:35 @ When he reached the stairs, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob.

nkjv@Acts:21:37 @ Then as Paul was about to be led into the barracks, he said to the commander, "May I speak to you?" He replied, "Can you speak Greek?

nkjv@Acts:21:39 @ But Paul said, "I am a Jew from Tarsus, in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city; and I implore you, permit me to speak to the people."

nkjv@Acts:21:40 @ So when he had given him permission, Paul stood on the stairs and motioned with his hand to the people. And when there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,

nkjv@Acts:22:2 @ And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they kept all the more silent. Then he said:

nkjv@Acts:22:3 @ "I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the strictness of our fathers' law, and was zealous toward God as you all are today.

nkjv@Acts:22:5 @ as also the high priest bears me witness, and all the council of the elders, from whom I also received letters to the brethren, and went to Damascus to bring in chains even those who were there to Jerusalem to be punished.

nkjv@Acts:22:7 @ And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?'

nkjv@Acts:22:8 @ So I answered, "Who are You, Lord?' And He said to me, "I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.'

nkjv@Acts:22:22 @ And they listened to him until this word, and then they raised their voices and said, "Away with such a fellow from the earth, for he is not fit to live!"

nkjv@Acts:22:24 @ the commander ordered him to be brought into the barracks, and said that he should be examined under scourging, so that he might know why they shouted so against him.

nkjv@Acts:22:25 @ And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said to the centurion who stood by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and uncondemned?"

nkjv@Acts:22:27 @ Then the commander came and said to him, "Tell me, are you a Roman?" He said, "Yes."

nkjv@Acts:22:29 @ Then immediately those who were about to examine him withdrew from him; and the commander was also afraid after he found out that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.

nkjv@Acts:22:30 @ The next day, because he wanted to know for certain why he was accused by the Jews, he released him from his bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down and set him before them.

nkjv@Acts:23:2 @ And the high priest Ananias commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.

nkjv@Acts:23:3 @ Then Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! For you sit to judge me according to the law, and do you command me to be struck contrary to the law?"

nkjv@Acts:23:9 @ Then there arose a loud outcry. And the scribes of the Pharisees' party arose and protested, saying, "We find no evil in this man; but if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God."

nkjv@Acts:23:10 @ Now when there arose a great dissension, the commander, fearing lest Paul might be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.

nkjv@Acts:23:14 @ They came to the chief priests and elders, and said, "We have bound ourselves under a great oath that we will eat nothing until we have killed Paul.

nkjv@Acts:23:15 @ Now you, therefore, together with the council, suggest to the commander that he be brought down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to make further inquiries concerning him; but we are ready to kill him before he comes near."

nkjv@Acts:23:17 @ Then Paul called one of the centurions to him and said, "Take this young man to the commander, for he has something to tell him."

nkjv@Acts:23:18 @ So he took him and brought him to the commander and said, "Paul the prisoner called me to him and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to say to you."

nkjv@Acts:23:19 @ Then the commander took him by the hand, went aside, and asked privately, "What is it that you have to tell me?"

nkjv@Acts:23:20 @ And he said, "The Jews have agreed to ask that you bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they were going to inquire more fully about him.

nkjv@Acts:23:21 @ But do not yield to them, for more than forty of them lie in wait for him, men who have bound themselves by an oath that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him; and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from you."

nkjv@Acts:23:22 @ So the commander let the young man depart, and commanded him, "Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me."

nkjv@Acts:23:23 @ And he called for two centurions, saying, "Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea at the third hour of the night;

nkjv@Acts:23:26 ...Claudius Lysias, To the...

nkjv@Acts:23:27 @ This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them. Coming with the troops I rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

nkjv@Acts:23:28 @ And when I wanted to know the reason they accused him, I brought him before their council.

nkjv@Acts:23:30 @ And when it was told me that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him immediately to you, and also commanded his accusers to state before you the charges against him. Farewell.

nkjv@Acts:23:31 @ Then the soldiers, as they were commanded, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

nkjv@Acts:23:32 @ The next day they left the horsemen to go on with him, and returned to the barracks.

nkjv@Acts:23:33 @ When they came to Caesarea and had delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.

nkjv@Acts:23:35 @ he said, "I will hear you when your accusers also have come." And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's Praetorium.

nkjv@Acts:24:1 @ Now after five days Ananias the high priest came down with the elders and a certain orator named Tertullus. These gave evidence to the governor against Paul.

nkjv@Acts:24:2 @ And when he was called upon, Tertullus began his accusation, saying: "Seeing that through you we enjoy great peace, and prosperity is being brought to this nation by your foresight,

nkjv@Acts:24:4 @ Nevertheless, not to be tedious to you any further, I beg you to hear, by your courtesy, a few words from us.

nkjv@Acts:24:8 @ commanding his accusers to come to you. By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him."

nkjv@Acts:24:10 @ Then Paul, after the governor had nodded to him to speak, answered: "Inasmuch as I know that you have been for many years a judge of this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself,

nkjv@Acts:24:11 @ because you may ascertain that it is no more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.

nkjv@Acts:24:14 @ But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets.

nkjv@Acts:24:16 @ This being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men.

nkjv@Acts:24:17 @ "Now after many years I came to bring alms and offerings to my nation,

nkjv@Acts:24:19 @ They ought to have been here before you to object if they had anything against me.

nkjv@Acts:24:25 @ Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and answered, "Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you."

nkjv@Acts:24:27 @ But after two years Porcius Festus succeeded Felix; and Felix, wanting to do the Jews a favor, left Paul bound.

nkjv@Acts:25:1 @ Now when Festus had come to the province, after three days he went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:25:3 @ asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem--while they lay in ambush along the road to kill him.

nkjv@Acts:25:5 @ "Therefore," he said, "let those who have authority among you go down with me and accuse this man, to see if there is any fault in him."

nkjv@Acts:25:6 @ And when he had remained among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea. And the next day, sitting on the judgment seat, he commanded Paul to be brought.

nkjv@Acts:25:13 @ And after some days King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to greet Festus.

nkjv@Acts:25:16 @ To them I answered, "It is not the custom of the Romans to deliver any man to destruction before the accused meets the accusers face to face, and has opportunity to answer for himself concerning the charge against him.'

nkjv@Acts:25:17 @ Therefore when they had come together, without any delay, the next day I sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought in.

nkjv@Acts:25:20 @ And because I was uncertain of such questions, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.

nkjv@Acts:25:21 @ But when Paul appealed to be reserved for the decision of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I could send him to Caesar."

nkjv@Acts:25:22 @ Then Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said, "you shall hear him."

nkjv@Acts:25:26 @ I have nothing certain to write to my lord concerning him. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the examination has taken place I may have something to write.

nkjv@Acts:25:27 @ For it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to specify the charges against him."

nkjv@Acts:26:1 @ Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You are permitted to speak for yourself." So Paul stretched out his hand and answered for himself:

nkjv@Acts:26:3 @ especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which have to do with the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.

nkjv@Acts:26:5 @ They knew me from the first, if they were willing to testify, that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

nkjv@Acts:27:5 @ And when we had sailed over the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

nkjv@Acts:27:6 @ There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing to Italy, and he put us on board.

nkjv@Acts:27:7 @ When we had sailed slowly many days, and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to proceed, we sailed under the shelter of Crete off Salmone.

nkjv@Acts:27:8 @ Passing it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

nkjv@Acts:27:12 @ And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.

nkjv@Acts:27:13 @ When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete.

nkjv@Acts:27:17 @ When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven.

nkjv@Acts:27:21 @ But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said, "Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss.

nkjv@Acts:27:22 @ And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

nkjv@Acts:27:31 @ Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."

nkjv@Acts:27:33 @ And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored them all to take food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day you have waited and continued without food, and eaten nothing.

nkjv@Acts:27:34 @ Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you."

nkjv@Acts:27:35 @ And when he had said these things, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it he began to eat.

nkjv@Acts:27:39 @ When it was day, they did not recognize the land; but they observed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship if possible.

nkjv@Acts:27:40 @ And they let go the anchors and left them in the sea, meanwhile loosing the rudder ropes; and they hoisted the mainsail to the wind and made for shore.

nkjv@Acts:27:42 @ And the soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape.

nkjv@Acts:27:43 @ But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land,

nkjv@Acts:27:44 @ and the rest, some on boards and some on parts of the ship. And so it was that they all escaped safely to land.

nkjv@Acts:28:4 @ So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live."

nkjv@Acts:28:6 @ However, they were expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

nkjv@Acts:28:8 @ And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and dysentery. Paul went in to him and prayed, and he laid his hands on him and healed him.

nkjv@Acts:28:13 @ From there we circled round and reached Rhegium. And after one day the south wind blew; and the next day we came to Puteoli,

nkjv@Acts:28:14 @ where we found brethren, and were invited to stay with them seven days. And so we went toward Rome.

nkjv@Acts:28:15 @ And from there, when the brethren heard about us, they came to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Three Inns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.

nkjv@Acts:28:16 @ Now when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard; but Paul was permitted to dwell by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

nkjv@Acts:28:17 @ And it came to pass after three days that Paul called the leaders of the Jews together. So when they had come together, he said to them: "Men and brethren, though I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,

nkjv@Acts:28:18 @ who, when they had examined me, wanted to let me go, because there was no cause for putting me to death.

nkjv@Acts:28:19 @ But when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything of which to accuse my nation.

nkjv@Acts:28:20 @ For this reason therefore I have called for you, to see you and speak with you, because for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain."

nkjv@Acts:28:21 @ Then they said to him, "We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor have any of the brethren who came reported or spoken any evil of you.

nkjv@Acts:28:22 @ But we desire to hear from you what you think; for concerning this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere."

nkjv@Acts:28:23 @ So when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging, to whom he explained and solemnly testified of the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning till evening.

nkjv@Acts:28:25 @ So when they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had said one word: "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,

nkjv@Acts:28:26 @ saying, "Go to this people and say: "Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand; And seeing you will see, and not perceive;

nkjv@Acts:28:28 @ "Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it!"

nkjv@Acts:28:30 @ Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him,

nkjv@Romans:1:1 @ Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God

nkjv@Romans:1:3 @ concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,

nkjv@Romans:1:4 @ and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.

nkjv@Romans:1:5 @ Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name,

nkjv@Romans:1:7 @ To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Romans:1:10 @ making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you.

nkjv@Romans:1:11 @ For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established--

nkjv@Romans:1:13 @ Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles.

nkjv@Romans:1:14 @ I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise.

nkjv@Romans:1:15 @ So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.

nkjv@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

nkjv@Romans:1:17 @ For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

nkjv@Romans:1:19 @ because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

nkjv@Romans:1:22 @ Professing to be wise, they became fools,

nkjv@Romans:1:24 @ Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,

nkjv@Romans:1:26 @ For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

nkjv@Romans:1:28 @ And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

nkjv@Romans:1:30 @ backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

nkjv@Romans:2:2 @ But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.

nkjv@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

nkjv@Romans:2:6 @ who "will render to each one according to his deeds":

nkjv@Romans:2:7 @ eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;

nkjv@Romans:2:8 @ but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness--indignation and wrath,

nkjv@Romans:2:10 @ but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

nkjv@Romans:2:14 @ for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves,

nkjv@Romans:2:16 @ in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

nkjv@Romans:2:19 @ and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

nkjv@Romans:3:2 @ Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God.

nkjv@Romans:3:7 @ For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

nkjv@Romans:3:15 @ "Their feet are swift to shed blood;

nkjv@Romans:3:19 @ Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

nkjv@Romans:3:22 @ even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;

nkjv@Romans:3:25 @ whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,

nkjv@Romans:3:26 @ to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

nkjv@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?

nkjv@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

nkjv@Romans:4:3 @ For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

nkjv@Romans:4:4 @ Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.

nkjv@Romans:4:5 @ But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,

nkjv@Romans:4:6 @ just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:

nkjv@Romans:4:8 @ Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin."

nkjv@Romans:4:9 @ Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

nkjv@Romans:4:11 @ And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also,

nkjv@Romans:4:12 @ and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while still uncircumcised.

nkjv@Romans:4:13 @ For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

nkjv@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

nkjv@Romans:4:17 @ (as it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations" ) in the presence of Him whom he believed--God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

nkjv@Romans:4:18 @ who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So shall your descendants be."

nkjv@Romans:4:20 @ He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,

nkjv@Romans:4:21 @ and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

nkjv@Romans:4:22 @ And therefore "it was accounted to him for righteousness."

nkjv@Romans:4:23 @ Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him,

nkjv@Romans:4:24 @ but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

nkjv@Romans:5:5 @ Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

nkjv@Romans:5:7 @ For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.

nkjv@Romans:5:10 @ For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

nkjv@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned--

nkjv@Romans:5:14 @ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

nkjv@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man's offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

nkjv@Romans:5:18 @ Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.

nkjv@Romans:5:21 @ so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

nkjv@Romans:6:2 @ Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

nkjv@Romans:6:10 @ For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

nkjv@Romans:6:11 @ Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

nkjv@Romans:6:13 @ And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

nkjv@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

nkjv@Romans:6:17 @ But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

nkjv@Romans:6:19 @ I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.

nkjv@Romans:6:20 @ For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

nkjv@Romans:6:22 @ But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.

nkjv@Romans:7:1 @ Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?

nkjv@Romans:7:2 @ For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.

nkjv@Romans:7:4 @ Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another--to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.

nkjv@Romans:7:5 @ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death.

nkjv@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.

nkjv@Romans:7:10 @ And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death.

nkjv@Romans:7:13 @ Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.

nkjv@Romans:7:15 @ For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.

nkjv@Romans:7:16 @ If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good.

nkjv@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.

nkjv@Romans:7:19 @ For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.

nkjv@Romans:7:20 @ Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

nkjv@Romans:7:21 @ I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.

nkjv@Romans:7:22 @ For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man.

nkjv@Romans:7:23 @ But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

nkjv@Romans:8:1 @ There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

nkjv@Romans:8:4 @ that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

nkjv@Romans:8:5 @ For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

nkjv@Romans:8:6 @ For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

nkjv@Romans:8:7 @ Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

nkjv@Romans:8:11 @ But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

nkjv@Romans:8:12 @ Therefore, brethren, we are debtors--not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

nkjv@Romans:8:13 @ For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

nkjv@Romans:8:15 @ For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."

nkjv@Romans:8:18 @ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

nkjv@Romans:8:20 @ For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;

nkjv@Romans:8:27 @ Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

nkjv@Romans:8:28 @ And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

nkjv@Romans:8:29 @ For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

nkjv@Romans:8:31 @ What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

nkjv@Romans:8:38 @ For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,

nkjv@Romans:8:39 @ nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

nkjv@Romans:9:3 @ For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh,

nkjv@Romans:9:4 @ who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises;

nkjv@Romans:9:5 @ of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.

nkjv@Romans:9:11 @ (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls),

nkjv@Romans:9:12 @ it was said to her, "The older shall serve the younger."

nkjv@Romans:9:15 @ For He says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion."

nkjv@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth."

nkjv@Romans:9:19 @ You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?"

nkjv@Romans:9:20 @ But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?"

nkjv@Romans:9:21 @ Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?

nkjv@Romans:9:22 @ What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,

nkjv@Romans:9:26 @ "And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, "You are not My people,' There they shall be called sons of the living God."

nkjv@Romans:9:30 @ What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness of faith;

nkjv@Romans:9:31 @ but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.

nkjv@Romans:9:33 @ As it is written: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, And whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."

nkjv@Romans:10:1 @ Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved.

nkjv@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

nkjv@Romans:10:3 @ For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

nkjv@Romans:10:4 @ For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

nkjv@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, "Do not say in your heart, "Who will ascend into heaven?"' (that is, to bring Christ down from above)

nkjv@Romans:10:7 @ or, ""Who will descend into the abyss?"' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

nkjv@Romans:10:11 @ For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."

nkjv@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.

nkjv@Romans:10:18 @ But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: "Their sound has gone out to all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world."

nkjv@Romans:10:19 @ But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: "I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, I will move you to anger by a foolish nation."

nkjv@Romans:10:20 @ But Isaiah is very bold and says: "I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me."

nkjv@Romans:11:9 @ And David says: "Let their table become a snare and a trap, A stumbling block and a recompense to them.

nkjv@Romans:11:11 @ I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.

nkjv@Romans:11:13 @ For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

nkjv@Romans:11:14 @ if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them.

nkjv@Romans:11:23 @ And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

nkjv@Romans:11:24 @ For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

nkjv@Romans:11:25 @ For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

nkjv@Romans:11:30 @ For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,

nkjv@Romans:11:32 @ For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.

nkjv@Romans:11:35 @ "Or who has first given to Him And it shall be repaid to him?"

nkjv@Romans:11:36 @ For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

nkjv@Romans:12:1 @ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

nkjv@Romans:12:2 @ And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

nkjv@Romans:12:3 @ For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

nkjv@Romans:12:6 @ Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith;

nkjv@Romans:12:9 @ Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.

nkjv@Romans:12:10 @ Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;

nkjv@Romans:12:13 @ distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.

nkjv@Romans:12:19 @ Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.

nkjv@Romans:13:1 @ Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.

nkjv@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.

nkjv@Romans:13:4 @ For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.

nkjv@Romans:13:6 @ For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing.

nkjv@Romans:13:7 @ Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.

nkjv@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.

nkjv@Romans:13:10 @ Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

nkjv@Romans:13:11 @ And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

nkjv@Romans:13:14 @ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

nkjv@Romans:14:1 @ Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things.

nkjv@Romans:14:6 @ He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.

nkjv@Romans:14:7 @ For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.

nkjv@Romans:14:8 @ For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.

nkjv@Romans:14:9 @ For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

nkjv@Romans:14:11 @ For it is written: "As I live, says the LORD, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God."

nkjv@Romans:14:12 @ So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.

nkjv@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother's way.

nkjv@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

nkjv@Romans:14:18 @ For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

nkjv@Romans:14:21 @ It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.

nkjv@Romans:14:22 @ Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

nkjv@Romans:15:1 @ We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

nkjv@Romans:15:2 @ Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.

nkjv@Romans:15:5 @ Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,

nkjv@Romans:15:7 @ Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.

nkjv@Romans:15:8 @ Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers,

nkjv@Romans:15:9 @ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: "For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name."

nkjv@Romans:15:12 @ And again, Isaiah says: "There shall be a root of Jesse; And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, In Him the Gentiles shall hope."

nkjv@Romans:15:14 @ Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

nkjv@Romans:15:15 @ Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God,

nkjv@Romans:15:16 @ that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@Romans:15:17 @ Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God.

nkjv@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, to make the Gentiles obedient--

nkjv@Romans:15:19 @ in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

nkjv@Romans:15:20 @ And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man's foundation,

nkjv@Romans:15:22 @ For this reason I also have been much hindered from coming to you.

nkjv@Romans:15:23 @ But now no longer having a place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come to you,

nkjv@Romans:15:24 @ whenever I journey to Spain, I shall come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.

nkjv@Romans:15:25 @ But now I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.

nkjv@Romans:15:26 @ For it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem.

nkjv@Romans:15:27 @ It pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in material things.

nkjv@Romans:15:28 @ Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain.

nkjv@Romans:15:29 @ But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

nkjv@Romans:15:30 @ Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me,

nkjv@Romans:15:31 @ that I may be delivered from those in Judea who do not believe, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,

nkjv@Romans:15:32 @ that I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may be refreshed together with you.

nkjv@Romans:16:1 @ I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea,

nkjv@Romans:16:4 @ who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

nkjv@Romans:16:5 @ Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia to Christ.

nkjv@Romans:16:17 @ Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.

nkjv@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil.

nkjv@Romans:16:25 @ Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began

nkjv@Romans:16:26 @ but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith--

nkjv@Romans:16:27 @ to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:2 @ To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:8 @ who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:19 @ For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:23 @ but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.

nkjv@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 things which are mighty;

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:28 @ and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:1 @ And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:6 @ However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:10 @ But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:12 @ Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:14 @ But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:1 @ And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able;

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:5 @ Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:8 @ Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:22 @ whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come--all are yours.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one's praise will come from God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:6 @ Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up on behalf of one against the other.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:11 @ To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this reason I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:21 @ What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:5 @ deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:10 @ Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:12 @ For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:1 @ Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:6 @ But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:7 @ Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:8 @ No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren!

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For "the two," He says, "shall become one flesh."

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:17 @ But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:1 @ Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:3 @ Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:8 @ But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am;

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:9 @ but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:10 @ Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:11 @ But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:12 @ But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:17 @ But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I suppose therefore that this is good because of the present distress--that it is good for a man to remain as he is:

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:27 @ Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:32 @ But I want you to be without care. He who is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord--how he may please the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But she is happier if she remains as she is, according to my judgment--and I think I also have the Spirit of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:2 @ And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:7 @ However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:8 @ But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:3 @ My defense to those who examine me is this:

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:4 @ Do we have no right to eat and drink?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who ever goes to war at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk of the flock?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have used none of these things, nor have I written these things that it should be done so to me; for it would be better for me to die than that anyone should make my boasting void.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:16 @ For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:19 @ For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more;

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:20 @ and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law;

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:21 @ to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ ), that I might win those who are without law;

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:22 @ to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:25 @ And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:27 @ But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:1 @ Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:6 @ Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:7 @ And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:11 @ Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything?

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:20 @ Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:22 @ Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience' sake; for "the earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness."

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:31 @ Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:32 @ Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God,

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:2 @ Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:6 @ For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:7 @ For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:10 @ For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:15 @ But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:16 @ But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:20 @ Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:22 @ What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread;

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:33 @ Therefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:1 @ Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant:

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:7 @ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:8 @ for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit,

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:9 @ to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:10 @ to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:11 @ But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free--and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:21 @ And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:22 @ No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:23 @ And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty,

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:24 @ but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it,

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:3 @ And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:2 @ For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:6 @ But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by revelation, by knowledge, by prophesying, or by teaching?

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:9 @ So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:11 @ Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:12 @ Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:21 @ In the law it is written: "With men of other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me," says the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:22 @ Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:28 @ But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:30 @ But if anything is revealed to another who sits by, let the first keep silent.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:32 @ And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:34 @ Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:35 @ And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:37 @ If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:39 @ Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:1 @ Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:2 @ by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:4 @ and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:6 @ After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:28 @ Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:38 @ But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:54 @ So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:57 @ But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also:

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:3 @ And when I come, whomever you approve by your letters I will send to bear your gift to Jerusalem.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:5 @ Now I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia (for I am passing through Macedonia).

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:7 @ For I do not wish to see you now on the way; but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:9 @ For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:11 @ Therefore let no one despise him. But send him on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brethren.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:12 @ Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brethren, but he was quite unwilling to come at this time; however, he will come when he has a convenient time.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:15 @ I urge you, brethren--you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints--

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:16 @ that you also submit to such, and to everyone who works and labors with us.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:1 @...and Timothy our brother, To the...

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:4 @ who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:11 @ you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the gift granted to us through many.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For we are not writing any other things to you than what you read or understand. Now I trust you will understand, even to the end

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:15 @ And in this confidence I intended to come to you before, that you might have a second benefit--

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:16 @ to pass by way of you to Macedonia, to come again from Macedonia to you, and be helped by you on my way to Judea.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No?

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:18 @ But as God is faithful, our word to you was not Yes and No.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:23 @ Moreover I call God as witness against my soul, that to spare you I came no more to Corinth.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:1 @ But I determined this within myself, that I would not come again to you in sorrow.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote this very thing to you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow over those from whom I ought to have joy, having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you, with many tears, not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have so abundantly for you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:5 @ But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but all of you to some extent--not to be too severe.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so that, on the contrary, you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:8 @ Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For to this end I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:12 @ Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord,

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:14 @ Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:15 @ For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:16 @ To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things?

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you?

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God,

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:15 @ But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:16 @ Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:18 @ But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:2 @ But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:3 @ But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:6 @ For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:13 @ And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I believed and therefore I spoke," we also believe and therefore speak,

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:15 @ For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:2 @ For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:8 @ We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:9 @ Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:12 @ For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity to boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:16 @ Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:18 @ Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:19 @ that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:20 @ Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:21 @ For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:1 @ We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:11 @ O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:13 @ Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:18 @ "I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORD Almighty."

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Open your hearts to us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have cheated no one.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I do not say this to condemn; for I have said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For indeed, when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were conflicts, inside were fears.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:9 @ Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:12 @ Therefore, although I wrote to you, I did not do it for the sake of him who had done the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:14 @ For if in anything I have boasted to him about you, I am not ashamed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting to Titus was found true.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:1 @ Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia:

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:3 @ For I bear witness that according to their ability, yes, and beyond their ability, they were freely willing,

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:4 @ imploring us with much urgency that we would receive the gift and the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:5 @ And not only as we had hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:10 @ And in this I give advice: It is to your advantage not only to be doing what you began and were desiring to do a year ago;

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:11 @ but now you also must complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to desire it, so there also may be a completion out of what you have.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks be to God who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he not only accepted the exhortation, but being more diligent, he went to you of his own accord.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but who was also chosen by the churches to travel with us with this gift, which is administered by us to the glory of the Lord Himself and to show your ready mind,

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Therefore show to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love and of our boasting on your behalf.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:1 @ Now concerning the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you;

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:2 @ for I know your willingness, about which I boast of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal has stirred up the majority.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:4 @ lest if some Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you!) should be ashamed of this confident boasting.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:5 @ Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren to go to you ahead of time, and prepare your generous gift beforehand, which you had previously promised, that it may be ready as a matter of generosity and not as a grudging obligation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:8 @ And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:9 @ As it is written: "He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever."

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:10 @ Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:11 @ while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:12 @ For the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God,

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:13 @ while, through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men,

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:15 @ Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:2 @ But I beg you that when I am present I may not be bold with that confidence by which I intend to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:3 @ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:5 @ casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:6 @ and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ's, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he is Christ's, even so we are Christ's.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:9 @ lest I seem to terrify you by letters.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we are not overextending ourselves (as though our authority did not extend to you), for it was to you that we came with the gospel of Christ;

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:16 @ to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's sphere of accomplishment.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:2 @ For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:5 @ For I consider that I am not at all inferior to the most eminent apostles.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Did I commit sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:8 @ I robbed other churches, taking wages from them to minister to you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was present with you, and in need, I was a burden to no one, for what I lacked the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:12 @ But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:15 @ Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:18 @ Seeing that many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:21 @ To our shame I say that we were too weak for that! But in whatever anyone is bold--I speak foolishly--I am bold also.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:29 @ Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:32 @ In Damascus the governor, under Aretas the king, was guarding the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desiring to arrest me;

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:1 @ It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord:

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a one was caught up to the third heaven.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:4 @ how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:6 @ For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:9 @ And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have become a fool in boasting; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the most eminent apostles, though I am nothing.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong!

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Now for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be burdensome to you; for I do not seek yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:17 @ Did I take advantage of you by any of those whom I sent to you?

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Again, do you think that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ. But we do all things, beloved, for your edification.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:1 @ This will be the third time I am coming to you. "By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established."

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I have told you before, and foretell as if I were present the second time, and now being absent I write to those who have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare--

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?--unless indeed you are disqualified.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:7 @ Now I pray to God that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though we may seem disqualified.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:10 @ Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the authority which the Lord has given me for edification and not for destruction.

nkjv@Galatians:1:2 @...who are with me, To the...

nkjv@Galatians:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

nkjv@Galatians:1:4 @ who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

nkjv@Galatians:1:5 @ to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

nkjv@Galatians:1:6 @ I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,

nkjv@Galatians:1:7 @ which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:1:8 @ But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

nkjv@Galatians:1:9 @ As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

nkjv@Galatians:1:10 @ For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:1:11 @ But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

nkjv@Galatians:1:13 @ For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it.

nkjv@Galatians:1:16 @ to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,

nkjv@Galatians:1:17 @ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

nkjv@Galatians:1:18 @ Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days.

nkjv@Galatians:1:20 @ (Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.)

nkjv@Galatians:1:22 @ And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:1:23 @ But they were hearing only, "He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once tried to destroy."

nkjv@Galatians:2:1 @ Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and also took Titus with me.

nkjv@Galatians:2:2 @ And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of reputation, lest by any means I might run, or had run, in vain.

nkjv@Galatians:2:3 @ Yet not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

nkjv@Galatians:2:4 @ And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in (who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage),

nkjv@Galatians:2:5 @ to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

nkjv@Galatians:2:6 @ But from those who seemed to be something--whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows personal favoritism to no man--for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me.

nkjv@Galatians:2:7 @ But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised had been committed to me, as the gospel for the circumcised was to Peter

nkjv@Galatians:2:8 @ (for He who worked effectively in Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised also worked effectively in me toward the Gentiles),

nkjv@Galatians:2:9 @ and when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

nkjv@Galatians:2:10 @ They desired only that we should remember the poor, the very thing which I also was eager to do.

nkjv@Galatians:2:11 @ Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed;

nkjv@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews?

nkjv@Galatians:2:17 @ "But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not!

nkjv@Galatians:2:19 @ For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God.

nkjv@Galatians:3:2 @ This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

nkjv@Galatians:3:5 @ Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?--

nkjv@Galatians:3:6 @ just as Abraham "believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

nkjv@Galatians:3:8 @ And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, "In you all the nations shall be blessed."

nkjv@Galatians:3:10 @ For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them."

nkjv@Galatians:3:15 @ Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man's covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it.

nkjv@Galatians:3:16 @ Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "And to your Seed," who is Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:3:18 @ For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

nkjv@Galatians:3:19 @ What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.

nkjv@Galatians:3:22 @ But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

nkjv@Galatians:3:24 @ Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

nkjv@Galatians:3:29 @ And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

nkjv@Galatians:4:5 @ to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

nkjv@Galatians:4:9 @ But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?

nkjv@Galatians:4:12 @ Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you. You have not injured me at all.

nkjv@Galatians:4:13 @ You know that because of physical infirmity I preached the gospel to you at the first.

nkjv@Galatians:4:15 @ What then was the blessing you enjoyed? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me.

nkjv@Galatians:4:17 @ They zealously court you, but for no good; yes, they want to exclude you, that you may be zealous for them.

nkjv@Galatians:4:18 @ But it is good to be zealous in a good thing always, and not only when I am present with you.

nkjv@Galatians:4:20 @ I would like to be present with you now and to change my tone; for I have doubts about you.

nkjv@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?

nkjv@Galatians:4:23 @ But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise,

nkjv@Galatians:4:24 @ which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar--

nkjv@Galatians:4:25 @ for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children--

nkjv@Galatians:4:29 @ But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.

nkjv@Galatians:5:2 @ Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.

nkjv@Galatians:5:3 @ And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.

nkjv@Galatians:5:4 @ You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

nkjv@Galatians:5:13 @ For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

nkjv@Galatians:5:17 @ For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

nkjv@Galatians:6:3 @ For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

nkjv@Galatians:6:8 @ For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

nkjv@Galatians:6:10 @ Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

nkjv@Galatians:6:11 @ See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand!

nkjv@Galatians:6:12 @ As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:6:13 @ For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

nkjv@Galatians:6:14 @ But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

nkjv@Galatians:6:16 @ And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

nkjv@Ephesians:1:1 @...the will of God, To the...

nkjv@Ephesians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Philippians:2:23 @ Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; for laboring night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ Therefore, when we could no longer endure it, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:13 @ and to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you;

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ nor did we eat anyone's bread free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you,

nkjv@1Timothy:1:15 @ This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

nkjv@1Timothy:1:16 @ However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:16 @ Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:4 @ But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and to repay their parents; for this is good and acceptable before God.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:11 @ But refuse the younger widows; for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,

nkjv@1Timothy:5:13 @ And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:14 @ Therefore I desire that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

nkjv@Philemon:1:11 @ who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me.

nkjv@Hebrews:1:1 @ God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

nkjv@Hebrews:1:2 @ has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;

nkjv@Hebrews:1:5 @..."You are My Son, Today I...

nkjv@Hebrews:1:8 @ But to the Son He says: "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

nkjv@Hebrews:1:13 @ But to which of the angels has He ever said: "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool"?

nkjv@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?

nkjv@Hebrews:2:1 @ Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.

nkjv@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

nkjv@Hebrews:2:4 @ God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

nkjv@Hebrews:2:5 @ For He has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels.

nkjv@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

nkjv@Hebrews:2:11 @ For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

nkjv@Hebrews:2:12 @ saying: "I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You."

nkjv@Hebrews:2:15 @ and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

nkjv@Hebrews:2:16 @ For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham.

nkjv@Hebrews:2:17 @ Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

nkjv@Hebrews:2:18 @ For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:2 @ who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,

nkjv@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?

nkjv@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:2 @ For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience,

nkjv@Hebrews:4:11 @ Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:12 @ For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:13 @ And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:16 @ Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:1 @ For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:2 @ He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:3 @ Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:4 @ And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:5 @..."You are My Son, Today I...

nkjv@Hebrews:5:6 @ As He also says in another place: "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek";

nkjv@Hebrews:5:7 @ who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear,

nkjv@Hebrews:5:9 @ And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

nkjv@Hebrews:5:10 @ called by God as High Priest "according to the order of Melchizedek,"

nkjv@Hebrews:5:11 @ of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:12 @ For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:14 @ But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:1 @ Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:5 @ and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:6 @ if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:8 @ but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:11 @ And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:13 @ For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:17 @ Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:18 @ that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:20 @ where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:2 @ to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated "king of righteousness," and then also king of Salem, meaning "king of peace,"

nkjv@Hebrews:7:4 @ Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:5 @ And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham;

nkjv@Hebrews:7:9 @ Even Levi, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, so to speak,

nkjv@Hebrews:7:11 @ Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron?

nkjv@Hebrews:7:13 @ For He of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no man has officiated at the altar.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:16 @ who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:17 @ For He testifies: "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek."

nkjv@Hebrews:7:19 @ for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:21 @ (for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him: "The LORD has sworn And will not relent, "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek"'),

nkjv@Hebrews:7:25 @ Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:27 @ who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people's, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:3 @ For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One also have something to offer.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:4 @ For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law;

nkjv@Hebrews:8:5 @ who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, "See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain."

nkjv@Hebrews:8:9 @ not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the LORD.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:11 @ None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, "Know the LORD,' for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:12 @ For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more."

nkjv@Hebrews:8:13 @ In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:9 @ It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience--

nkjv@Hebrews:9:11 @ But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:14 @ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

nkjv@Hebrews:9:19 @ For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

nkjv@Hebrews:9:22 @ And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

nkjv@Hebrews:9:26 @ He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:27 @ And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,

nkjv@Hebrews:9:28 @...the sins of many. To those...

nkjv@Hebrews:10:1 @ For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:2 @ For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then I said, "Behold, I have come-- In the volume of the book it is written of Me-- To do Your will, O God."'

nkjv@Hebrews:10:8 @ Previously saying, "Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them" (which are offered according to the law),

nkjv@Hebrews:10:9 @ then He said, "Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God." He takes away the first that He may establish the second.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:15 @ But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,

nkjv@Hebrews:10:19 @ Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,

nkjv@Hebrews:10:24 @ And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,

nkjv@Hebrews:10:39 @ But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:6 @ But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:8 @ By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:11 @ By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:15 @ And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:20 @ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:24 @ By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

nkjv@Hebrews:11:25 @ choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,

nkjv@Hebrews:11:26 @ esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:29 @ By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received their dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:4 @ You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:5 @ And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: "My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;

nkjv@Hebrews:12:9 @ Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

nkjv@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:11 @ Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:19 @ and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:23 @ to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

nkjv@Hebrews:12:24 @ to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:2 @ Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.

nkjv@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

nkjv@James:1:15 @ Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

nkjv@James:1:19 @ So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

nkjv@James:1:21 @ Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

nkjv@James:1:27 @ Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

nkjv@James:2:3 @ and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, "You sit here in a good place," and say to the poor man, "You stand there," or, "Sit here at my footstool,"

nkjv@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

nkjv@James:2:8 @ If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well;

nkjv@James:2:13 @ For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

nkjv@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?

nkjv@James:2:20 @ But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

nkjv@James:2:23 @ And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God.

nkjv@James:3:2 @ For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

nkjv@James:3:10 @ Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.

nkjv@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

nkjv@James:4:4 @ Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

nkjv@James:4:6 @ But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."

nkjv@James:4:7 @ Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

nkjv@James:4:8 @ Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

nkjv@James:4:9 @ Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.

nkjv@James:4:12 @ There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?

nkjv@James:4:13 @ Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit";

nkjv@James:4:15 @ Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that."

nkjv@James:4:17 @ Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

nkjv@James:5:16 @ Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

nkjv@1Peter:1:12 @ To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven--things which angels desire to look into.

nkjv@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

nkjv@1Peter:1:14 @ as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance;

nkjv@1Peter:1:17 @ And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear;

nkjv@1Peter:2:5 @ you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1Peter:2:6 @ Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame."

nkjv@1Peter:2:7 @ Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,"

nkjv@1Peter:2:8 @ and "A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense." They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.

nkjv@1Peter:2:13 @ Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme,

nkjv@1Peter:2:14 @ or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good.

nkjv@1Peter:2:15 @ For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men--

nkjv@1Peter:2:18 @ Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh.

nkjv@1Peter:2:21 @ For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

nkjv@1Peter:2:23 @ who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;

nkjv@1Peter:2:24 @ who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness--by whose stripes you were healed.

nkjv@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

nkjv@1Peter:3:1 @ Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives,

nkjv@1Peter:3:5 @ For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands,

nkjv@1Peter:3:7 @ Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

nkjv@1Peter:3:9 @ not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

nkjv@1Peter:3:12 @ For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil."

nkjv@1Peter:3:15 @ But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

nkjv@1Peter:3:17 @ For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

nkjv@1Peter:3:18 @ For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,

nkjv@1Peter:3:19 @ by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison,

nkjv@1Peter:3:22 @ who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

nkjv@1Peter:4:4 @ In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.

nkjv@1Peter:4:5 @ They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

nkjv@1Peter:4:6 @ For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

nkjv@1Peter:4:9 @ Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

nkjv@1Peter:4:10 @ As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

nkjv@1Peter:4:11 @ If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

nkjv@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;

nkjv@1Peter:4:13 @ but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

nkjv@1Peter:4:17 @ For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?

nkjv@1Peter:4:19 @ Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.

nkjv@1Peter:5:3 @ nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock;

nkjv@1Peter:5:5 @ Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."

nkjv@1Peter:5:10 @ But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

nkjv@1Peter:5:11 @ To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

nkjv@1Peter:5:12 @ By Silvanus, our faithful brother as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.

nkjv@1Peter:5:14 @ Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

nkjv@2Peter:1:1 @...apostle of Jesus Christ, To those...

nkjv@2Peter:1:2 @ Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,

nkjv@2Peter:1:3 @ as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

nkjv@2Peter:1:4 @ by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

nkjv@2Peter:1:5 @ But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,

nkjv@2Peter:1:6 @ to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness,

nkjv@2Peter:1:7 @ to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

nkjv@2Peter:1:9 @ For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

nkjv@2Peter:1:10 @ Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;

nkjv@2Peter:1:11 @ for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Peter:1:12 @ For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth.

nkjv@2Peter:1:13 @ Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,

nkjv@2Peter:1:15 @ Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease.

nkjv@2Peter:1:16 @ For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

nkjv@2Peter:1:17 @ For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

nkjv@2Peter:1:19 @ And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;

nkjv@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;

nkjv@2Peter:2:6 @ and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly;

nkjv@2Peter:2:8 @ (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)--

nkjv@2Peter:2:9 @ then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,

nkjv@2Peter:2:10 @ and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,

nkjv@2Peter:2:12 @ But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption,

nkjv@2Peter:2:13 @ and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you,

nkjv@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.

nkjv@2Peter:2:22 @ But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: "A dog returns to his own vomit," and, "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire."

nkjv@2Peter:3:1 @ Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder),

nkjv@2Peter:3:3 @ knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts,

nkjv@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

nkjv@2Peter:3:11 @ Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

nkjv@2Peter:3:13 @ Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

nkjv@2Peter:3:14 @ Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;

nkjv@2Peter:3:15 @ and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation--as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,

nkjv@2Peter:3:16 @ as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

nkjv@2Peter:3:18 @...and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him...

nkjv@1John:1:2 @ the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us--

nkjv@1John:1:3 @ that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1John:1:4 @ And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.

nkjv@1John:1:5 @ This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

nkjv@1John:1:9 @ If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

nkjv@1John:2:1 @ My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

nkjv@1John:2:6 @ He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

nkjv@1John:2:7 @ Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.

nkjv@1John:2:8 @ Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

nkjv@1John:2:12 @ I write to you, little children, Because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake.

nkjv@1John:2:13 @ I write to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, Because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, Because you have known the Father.

nkjv@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the wicked one.

nkjv@1John:2:21 @ I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

nkjv@1John:2:26 @ These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you.

nkjv@1John:3:5 @ And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.

nkjv@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death.

nkjv@1John:3:16 @ By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

nkjv@1John:4:10 @ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

nkjv@1John:4:11 @ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

nkjv@1John:5:13 @ These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

nkjv@1John:5:14 @ Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

nkjv@1John:5:16 @ If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.

nkjv@1John:5:17 @ All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.

nkjv@2John:1:1 ...The Elder, To the...

nkjv@2John:1:5 @ And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.

nkjv@2John:1:6 @ This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

nkjv@2John:1:8 @ Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.

nkjv@2John:1:10 @ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;

nkjv@2John:1:12 @ Having many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.

nkjv@3John:1:1 ...The Elder, To the...

nkjv@3John:1:4 @ I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

nkjv@3John:1:8 @ We therefore ought to receive such, that we may become fellow workers for the truth.

nkjv@3John:1:9 @ I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us.

nkjv@3John:1:10 @ Therefore, if I come, I will call to mind his deeds which he does, prating against us with malicious words. And not content with that, he himself does not receive the brethren, and forbids those who wish to, putting them out of the church.

nkjv@3John:1:13 @ I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink;

nkjv@3John:1:14 @ but I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace to you. Our friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.

nkjv@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

nkjv@Jude:1:5 @ But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

nkjv@Jude:1:7 @ as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

nkjv@Revelation:11:9 @ Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves.

nkjv@Revelation:11:10 @ And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

nkjv@Revelation:11:12 @ And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.

nkjv@Revelation:11:13 @ In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.

nkjv@Revelation:11:17 @ saying: "We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.

nkjv@Revelation:12:2 @ Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.

nkjv@Revelation:12:4 @ His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.

nkjv@Revelation:12:5 @ She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.

nkjv@Revelation:12:9 @ So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

nkjv@Revelation:12:11 @ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

nkjv@Revelation:12:12 @ Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."

nkjv@Revelation:12:13 @ Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child.

nkjv@Revelation:12:14 @ But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

nkjv@Revelation:12:15 @ So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.

nkjv@Revelation:12:17 @ And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Revelation:13:4 @ So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"

nkjv@Revelation:13:5 @ And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.

nkjv@Revelation:13:6 @ Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.

nkjv@Revelation:13:7 @ It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.

nkjv@Revelation:13:12 @ And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

nkjv@Revelation:13:14 @ And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.

nkjv@Revelation:13:15 @ He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

nkjv@Revelation:13:16 @ He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,

nkjv@Revelation:14:4 @ These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.

nkjv@Revelation:14:6 @ Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth--to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people--

nkjv@Revelation:14:7 @ saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water."

nkjv@Revelation:14:13 @ Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Write: "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on."' "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them."

nkjv@Revelation:14:15 @ And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, "Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe."

nkjv@Revelation:14:18 @ And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe."

nkjv@Revelation:14:20 @ And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, up to the horses' bridles, for one thousand six hundred furlongs.

nkjv@Revelation:15:7 @ Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever.

nkjv@Revelation:15:8 @ The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

nkjv@Revelation:16:1 @ Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, "Go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth."

nkjv@Revelation:16:5 @ And I heard the angel of the waters saying: "You are righteous, O Lord, The One who is and who was and who is to be, Because You have judged these things.

nkjv@Revelation:16:6 @ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, And You have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due."

nkjv@Revelation:16:8 @ Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire.

nkjv@Revelation:16:14 @ For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

nkjv@Revelation:16:16 @ And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.

nkjv@Revelation:16:19 @ Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.

nkjv@Revelation:17:1 @ Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters,

nkjv@Revelation:17:7 @ But the angel said to me, "Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

nkjv@Revelation:17:8 @ The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition.

nkjv@Revelation:17:13 @ These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.

nkjv@Revelation:17:15 @ Then he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.

nkjv@Revelation:17:17 @ For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.

nkjv@Revelation:19:10 @ And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

nkjv@Revelation:20:4 @ And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands.

nkjv@Revelation:20:12 @ And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.

nkjv@Revelation:20:13 @ The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.

nkjv@Revelation:21:5 @ Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful."

nkjv@Revelation:21:6 @ And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.

nkjv@Revelation:21:9 @ Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, "Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife."

nkjv@Revelation:21:10 @ And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

nkjv@Revelation:21:15 @ And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.

nkjv@Revelation:21:17 @ Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.

nkjv@Revelation:21:23 @ The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.

nkjv@Revelation:22:6 @ Then he said to me, "These words are faithful and true." And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place.
