rsv@Genesis:1:1 @ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

rsv@Genesis:1:2 @ The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters.

rsv@Genesis:1:4 @ And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.

rsv@Genesis:1:5 @ God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.

rsv@Genesis:1:6 @ And God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters."

rsv@Genesis:1:7 @ And God made the firmament and separated the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:9 @ And God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:10 @ God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

rsv@Genesis:1:11 @ And God said, "Let the earth put forth vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, upon the earth." And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:12 @ The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

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

rsv@Genesis:1:15 @ and let them be lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth." And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:16 @ And God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; he made the stars also.

rsv@Genesis:1:17 @ And God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth,

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

rsv@Genesis:1:20 @ And God said, "Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the firmament of the heavens."

rsv@Genesis:1:21 @ So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

rsv@Genesis:1:22 @ And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."

rsv@Genesis:1:24 @ And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds." And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:25 @ And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the cattle according to their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

rsv@Genesis:1:26 @ Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth."

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

rsv@Genesis:1:29 @ And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.

rsv@Genesis:1:30 @ And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:2:1 @ Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

rsv@Genesis:2:4 @ These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

rsv@Genesis:2:5 @ when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up--for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;

rsv@Genesis:2:6 @ but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground--

rsv@Genesis:2:8 @ And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

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

rsv@Genesis:2:10 @ A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers.

rsv@Genesis:2:11 @ The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

rsv@Genesis:2:12 @ and the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there.

rsv@Genesis:2:13 @ The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which flows around the whole land of Cush.

rsv@Genesis:2:15 @ The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it.

rsv@Genesis:2:16 @ And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;

rsv@Genesis:3:1 @ Now the serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God say, `You shall not eat of any tree of the garden'?"

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

rsv@Genesis:3:3 @ but God said, `You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"

rsv@Genesis:3:8 @ And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

rsv@Genesis:3:9 @ But the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"

rsv@Genesis:3:10 @ And he said, "I heard the sound of thee in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."

rsv@Genesis:3:14 @ The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above all wild animals; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.

rsv@Genesis:3:16 @ To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."

rsv@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; you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

rsv@Genesis:3:21 @ And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins, and clothed them.

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

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

rsv@Genesis:4:4 @ and Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and his offering,

rsv@Genesis:4:5 @ but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

rsv@Genesis:4:6 @ The LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen?

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

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

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

rsv@Genesis:4:14 @ Behold, thou hast driven me this day away from the ground; and from thy face I shall be hidden; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will slay me."

rsv@Genesis:4:15 @ Then the LORD said to him, "Not so! If any one slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD put a mark on Cain, lest any who came upon him should kill him.

rsv@Genesis:4:23 @ Lamech said to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; you wives of Lamech, hearken to what I say: I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me.

rsv@Genesis:5:3 @ When Adam had lived a hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.

rsv@Genesis:5:4 @ The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years; and he had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:5 @ Thus all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:6 @ When Seth had lived a hundred and five years, he became the father of Enosh.

rsv@Genesis:5:7 @ Seth lived after the birth of Enosh eight hundred and seven years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:8 @ Thus all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:9 @ When Enosh had lived ninety years, he became the father of Kenan.

rsv@Genesis:5:10 @ Enosh lived after the birth of Kenan eight hundred and fifteen years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:11 @ Thus all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:12 @ When Kenan had lived seventy years, he became the father of Ma-hal'alel.

rsv@Genesis:5:13 @ Kenan lived after the birth of Ma-hal'alel eight hundred and forty years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:14 @ Thus all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:15 @ When Ma-hal'alel had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Jared.

rsv@Genesis:5:16 @ Ma-hal'alel lived after the birth of Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:17 @ Thus all the days of Ma-hal'alel were eight hundred and ninety-five years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:18 @ When Jared had lived a hundred and sixty-two years he became the father of Enoch.

rsv@Genesis:5:19 @ Jared lived after the birth of Enoch eight hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:20 @ Thus all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:21 @ When Enoch had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Methu'selah.

rsv@Genesis:5:22 @ Enoch walked with God after the birth of Methu'selah three hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:23 @ Thus all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.

rsv@Genesis:5:25 @ When Methu'selah had lived a hundred and eighty-seven years, he became the father of Lamech.

rsv@Genesis:5:26 @ Methu'selah lived after the birth of Lamech seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:27 @ Thus all the days of Methu'selah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:28 @ When Lamech had lived a hundred and eighty-two years, he became the father of a son,

rsv@Genesis:5:30 @ Lamech lived after the birth of Noah five hundred and ninety-five years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:31 @ Thus all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:32 @ After Noah was five hundred years old, Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

rsv@Genesis:6:3 @ Then the LORD said, "My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for he is flesh, but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years."

rsv@Genesis:6:4 @ The Nephilim were 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. These were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.

rsv@Genesis:6:5 @ The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

rsv@Genesis:6:6 @ And the LORD was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.

rsv@Genesis:6:9 @ These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.

rsv@Genesis:6:11 @ Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence.

rsv@Genesis:6:12 @ And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.

rsv@Genesis:6:13 @ And God said to Noah, "I have determined to make an end of all flesh; for the earth is filled with violence through them; behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

rsv@Genesis:6:14 @ Make yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch.

rsv@Genesis:6:15 @ This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

rsv@Genesis:6:16 @ Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above; and set the door of the ark in its side; make it with lower, second, and third decks.

rsv@Genesis:6:17 @ For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall die.

rsv@Genesis:6:18 @ But I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

rsv@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.

rsv@Genesis:7:1 @ Then the LORD said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation.

rsv@Genesis:7:2 @ Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and his mate; and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate;

rsv@Genesis:7:3 @ and seven pairs of the birds of the air also, male and female, to keep their kind alive upon the face of all the earth.

rsv@Genesis:7:4 @ For in seven days I will send rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground."

rsv@Genesis:7:6 @ Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth.

rsv@Genesis:7:7 @ And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him went into the ark, to escape the waters of the flood.

rsv@Genesis:7:8 @ Of clean animals, and of animals that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground,

rsv@Genesis:7:9 @ two and two, male and female, went into the ark with Noah, as God had commanded Noah.

rsv@Genesis:7:10 @ And after seven days the waters of the flood came upon the earth.

rsv@Genesis:7:11 @ In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened.

rsv@Genesis:7:12 @ And rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

rsv@Genesis:7:13 @ On the very same day Noah and his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark,

rsv@Genesis:7:14 @ they and every beast according to its kind, and all the cattle according to their kinds, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind, every bird of every sort.

rsv@Genesis:7:15 @ They went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life.

rsv@Genesis:7:17 @ The flood continued forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.

rsv@Genesis:7:18 @ The waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark floated on the face of the waters.

rsv@Genesis:7:19 @ And the waters prevailed so mightily upon the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered;

rsv@Genesis:7:21 @ And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, birds, cattle, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm upon the earth, and every man;

rsv@Genesis:7:23 @ He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those that were with him in the ark.

rsv@Genesis:7:24 @ And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.

rsv@Genesis:8:1 @ But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided;

rsv@Genesis:8:3 @ and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters had abated;

rsv@Genesis:8:4 @ and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest upon the mountains of Ar'arat.

rsv@Genesis:8:6 @ At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made,

rsv@Genesis:8:7 @ and sent forth a raven; and it went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth.

rsv@Genesis:8:9 @ but the dove found no place to set her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put forth his hand and took her and brought her into the ark with him.

rsv@Genesis:8:10 @ He waited another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;

rsv@Genesis:8:11 @ and the dove came back to him in the evening, and lo, in her mouth a freshly plucked olive leaf; so Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth.

rsv@Genesis:8:13 @ In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry.

rsv@Genesis:8:14 @ In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

rsv@Genesis:8:16 @ "Go forth from the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you.

rsv@Genesis:8:17 @ Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh--birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth--that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply upon the earth."

rsv@Genesis:8:19 @ And every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves upon the earth, went forth by families out of the ark.

rsv@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.

rsv@Genesis:8:21 @ And when the LORD smelled the pleasing odor, the LORD said in his heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done.

rsv@Genesis:8:22 @ While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease."

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

rsv@Genesis:9:2 @ The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the air, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered.

rsv@Genesis:9:7 @ And you, be fruitful and multiply, bring forth abundantly on the earth and multiply in it."

rsv@Genesis:9:10 @ and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark.

rsv@Genesis:9:11 @ I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth."

rsv@Genesis:9:13 @ I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

rsv@Genesis:9:14 @ When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds,

rsv@Genesis:9:16 @ When the bow is in the clouds, I will look upon it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth."

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

rsv@Genesis:9:18 @ The sons of Noah who went forth from the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan.

rsv@Genesis:9:19 @ These three were the sons of Noah; and from these the whole earth was peopled.

rsv@Genesis:9:20 @ Noah was the first tiller of the soil. He planted a vineyard;

rsv@Genesis:9:23 @ Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it upon both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness.

rsv@Genesis:9:27 @ God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be his slave."

rsv@Genesis:9:28 @ After the flood Noah lived three hundred and fifty years.

rsv@Genesis:9:29 @ All the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:10:1 @ These are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; sons were born to them after the flood.

rsv@Genesis:10:3 @ The sons of Gomer: Ash'kenaz, Riphath, and Togar'mah.

rsv@Genesis:10:4 @ The sons of Javan: Eli'shah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Do'danim.

rsv@Genesis:10:5 @ From these the coastland peoples spread. These are the sons of Japheth in their lands, each with his own language, by their families, in their nations.

rsv@Genesis:10:8 @ Cush became the father of Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man.

rsv@Genesis:10:10 @ The beginning of his kingdom was Ba'bel, Erech, and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar.

rsv@Genesis:10:17 @ the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,

rsv@Genesis:10:18 @ the Ar'vadites, the Zem'arites, and the Ha'mathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.

rsv@Genesis:10:19 @ And the territory of the Canaanites extended from Sidon, in the direction of Gerar, as far as Gaza, and in the direction of Sodom, Gomor'rah, Admah, and Zeboi'im, as far as Lasha.

rsv@Genesis:10:20 @ These are the sons of Ham, by their families, their languages, their lands, and their nations.

rsv@Genesis:10:22 @ The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpach'shad, Lud, and Aram.

rsv@Genesis:10:23 @ The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

rsv@Genesis:10:24 @ Arpach'shad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber.

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

rsv@Genesis:10:26 @ Joktan became the father of Almo'dad, Sheleph, Hazarma'veth, Jerah,

rsv@Genesis:10:30 @ The territory in which they lived extended from Mesha in the direction of Sephar to the hill country of the east.

rsv@Genesis:10:31 @ These are the sons of Shem, by their families, their languages, their lands, and their nations.

rsv@Genesis:10:32 @ These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, in their nations; and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.

rsv@Genesis:11:1 @ Now the whole earth had one language and few words.

rsv@Genesis:11:2 @ And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.

rsv@Genesis:11:3 @ And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar.

rsv@Genesis:11:4 @ Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."

rsv@Genesis:11:6 @ And the LORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.

rsv@Genesis:11:8 @ So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.

rsv@Genesis:11:9 @ Therefore its name was called Ba'bel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

rsv@Genesis:11:10 @ These are the descendants of Shem. When Shem was a hundred years old, he became the father of Arpach'shad two years after the flood;

rsv@Genesis:11:11 @ and Shem lived after the birth of Arpach'shad five hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:12 @ When Arpach'shad had lived thirty-five years, he became the father of Shelah;

rsv@Genesis:11:13 @ and Arpach'shad lived after the birth of Shelah four hundred and three years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:14 @ When Shelah had lived thirty years, he became the father of Eber;

rsv@Genesis:11:15 @ and Shelah lived after the birth of Eber four hundred and three years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:16 @ When Eber had lived thirty-four years, he became the father of Peleg;

rsv@Genesis:11:17 @ and Eber lived after the birth of Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:18 @ When Peleg had lived thirty years, he became the father of Re'u;

rsv@Genesis:11:19 @ and Peleg lived after the birth of Re'u two hundred and nine years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:20 @ When Re'u had lived thirty-two years, he became the father of Serug;

rsv@Genesis:11:21 @ and Re'u lived after the birth of Serug two hundred and seven years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:22 @ When Serug had lived thirty years, he became the father of Nahor;

rsv@Genesis:11:23 @ and Serug lived after the birth of Nahor two hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:24 @ When Nahor had lived twenty-nine years, he became the father of Terah;

rsv@Genesis:11:25 @ and Nahor lived after the birth of Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:26 @ When Terah had lived seventy years, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

rsv@Genesis:11:27 @ Now these are the descendants of Terah. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot.

rsv@Genesis:11:28 @ Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chalde'ans.

rsv@Genesis:11:29 @ And Abram and Nahor took wives; the name of Abram's wife was Sar'ai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and Iscah.

rsv@Genesis:11:30 @ Now Sar'ai was barren; she had no child.

rsv@Genesis:11:31 @ Terah took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sar'ai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife, and they went forth together from Ur of the Chalde'ans to go into the land of Canaan; but when they came to Haran, they settled there.

rsv@Genesis:11:32 @ The days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.

rsv@Genesis:24:46 @ She quickly let down her jar from her shoulder, and said, `Drink, and I will give your camels drink also.' So I drank, and she gave the camels drink also.

rsv@Genesis:24:47 @ Then I asked her, `Whose daughter are you?' She said, The daughter of Bethu'el, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her arms.

rsv@Genesis:24:52 @ When Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself to the earth before the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:24:54 @ And he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and they spent the night there. When they arose in the morning, he said, "Send me back to my master."

rsv@Genesis:24:61 @ Then Rebekah and her maids arose, and rode upon the camels and followed the man; thus the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

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

rsv@Genesis:25:7 @ These are the days of the years of Abraham's life, a hundred and seventy-five years.

rsv@Genesis:25:8 @ Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

rsv@Genesis:25:9 @ Isaac and Ish'mael his sons buried him in the cave of Mach-pe'lah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre,

rsv@Genesis:25:10 @ the field which Abraham purchased from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried, with Sarah his wife.

rsv@Genesis:25:12 @ These are the descendants of Ish'mael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's maid, bore to Abraham.

rsv@Genesis:25:13 @ These are the names of the sons of Ish'mael, named in the order of their birth: Neba'ioth, the first-born of Ish'mael; and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

rsv@Genesis:25:16 @ These are the sons of Ish'mael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, twelve princes according to their tribes.

rsv@Genesis:25:17 @ (These are the years of the life of Ish'mael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his kindred.)

rsv@Genesis:25:19 @ These are the descendants of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham was the father of Isaac,

rsv@Genesis:25:20 @ and Isaac was forty years old when he took to wife Rebekah, the daughter of Bethu'el the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean.

rsv@Genesis:25:21 @ And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

rsv@Genesis:25:23 @ And the LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples, born of you, shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger."

rsv@Genesis:25:26 @ Afterward his brother came forth, and his hand had taken hold of Esau's heel; so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

rsv@Genesis:25:33 @ Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.

rsv@Genesis:26:1 @ Now there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gerar, to Abim'elech king of the Philistines.

rsv@Genesis:26:2 @ And the LORD appeared to him, and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land of which I shall tell you.

rsv@Genesis:26:4 @ I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and will give to your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves:

rsv@Genesis:26:5 @ because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."

rsv@Genesis:26:6 @ So Isaac dwelt in Gerar.

rsv@Genesis:26:7 @ When the men of the place asked him about his wife, he said, "She is my sister"; for he feared to say, "My wife," thinking, "lest the men of the place should kill me for the sake of Rebekah"; because she was fair to look upon.

rsv@Genesis:26:11 @ So Abim'elech warned all the people, saying, "Whoever touches this man or his wife shall be put to death."

rsv@Genesis:26:12 @ And Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. The LORD blessed him,

rsv@Genesis:26:15 @ (Now the Philistines had stopped and filled with earth all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father.)

rsv@Genesis:26:16 @ And Abim'elech said to Isaac, "Go away from us; for you are much mightier than we."

rsv@Genesis:26:17 @ So Isaac departed from there, and encamped in the valley of Gerar and dwelt there.

rsv@Genesis:26:20 @ the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." So he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.

rsv@Genesis:26:21 @ Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that also; so he called its name Sitnah.

rsv@Genesis:26:22 @ And he moved from there and dug another well, and over that they did not quarrel; so he called its name Reho'both, saying, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."

rsv@Genesis:26:24 @ And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father; fear not, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your descendants for my servant Abraham's sake."

rsv@Genesis:26:25 @ So he built an altar there and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants dug a well.

rsv@Genesis:26:26 @ Then Abim'elech went to him from Gerar with Ahuz'zath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.

rsv@Genesis:26:29 @ that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of the LORD."

rsv@Genesis:26:31 @ In the morning they rose early and took oath with one another; and Isaac set them on their way, and they departed from him in peace.

rsv@Genesis:26:34 @ When Esau was forty years old, he took to wife Judith the daughter of Be-e'ri the Hittite, and Bas'emath the daughter of Elon the Hittite;

rsv@Genesis:27:4 @ and prepare for me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat; that I may bless you before I die."

rsv@Genesis:27:9 @ Go to the flock, and fetch me two good kids, that I may prepare from them savory food for your father, such as he loves;

rsv@Genesis:27:14 @ So he went and took them and brought them to his mother; and his mother prepared savory food, such as his father loved.

rsv@Genesis:27:15 @ Then Rebekah took the best garments of Esau her older son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son;

rsv@Genesis:27:16 @ and the skins of the kids she put upon his hands and upon the smooth part of his neck;

rsv@Genesis:27:17 @ and she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

rsv@Genesis:27:18 @ So he went in to his father, and said, "My father"; and he said, "Here I am; who are you, my son?"

rsv@Genesis:27:21 @ Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Come near, that I may feel you, my son, to know whether you are really my son Esau or not."

rsv@Genesis:27:22 @ So Jacob went near to Isaac his father, who felt him and said, "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau."

rsv@Genesis:27:24 @ He said, "Are you really my son Esau?" He answered, "I am."

rsv@Genesis:27:26 @ Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come near and kiss me, my son."

rsv@Genesis:27:27 @ So he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, "See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed!

rsv@Genesis:27:28 @ May God give you of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and wine.

rsv@Genesis:27:30 @ As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, when Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

rsv@Genesis:27:31 @ He also prepared savory food, and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, "Let my father arise, and eat of his son's game, that you may bless me."

rsv@Genesis:27:32 @ His father Isaac said to him, "Who are you?" He answered, "I am your son, your first-born, Esau."

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

rsv@Genesis:27:39 @ Then Isaac his father answered him: "Behold, away from the fatness of the earth shall your dwelling be, and away from the dew of heaven on high.

rsv@Genesis:27:41 @ Now Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him, and Esau said to himself, "The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob."

rsv@Genesis:27:43 @ Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee to Laban my brother in Haran,

rsv@Genesis:27:46 @ Then Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am weary of my life because of the Hittite women. If Jacob marries one of the Hittite women such as these, one of the women of the land, what good will my life be to me?"

rsv@Genesis:28:1 @ Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, and charged him, "You shall not marry one of the Canaanite women.

rsv@Genesis:28:2 @ Arise, go to Paddan-aram to the house of Bethu'el your mother's father; and take as wife from there one of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother.

rsv@Genesis:28:5 @ Thus Isaac sent Jacob away; and he went to Paddan-aram to Laban, the son of Bethu'el the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.

rsv@Genesis:28:6 @ Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram to take a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he charged him, "You shall not marry one of the Canaanite women,"

rsv@Genesis:28:7 @ and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and gone to Paddan-aram.

rsv@Genesis:28:10 @ Jacob left Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.

rsv@Genesis:28:12 @ And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it!

rsv@Genesis:28:14 @ and your descendants shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and by you and your descendants shall all the families of the earth bless themselves.

rsv@Genesis:28:18 @ So Jacob rose early in the morning, and he took the stone which he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it.

rsv@Genesis:28:20 @ Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear,

rsv@Genesis:28:22 @ and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house; and of all that thou givest me I will give the tenth to thee."

rsv@Genesis:29:2 @ As he looked, he saw a well in the field, and lo, three flocks of sheep lying beside it; for out of that well the flocks were watered. The stone on the well's mouth was large,

rsv@Genesis:29:4 @ Jacob said to them, "My brothers, where do you come from?" They said, "We are from Haran."

rsv@Genesis:29:8 @ But they said, "We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and the stone is rolled from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep."

rsv@Genesis:29:13 @ When Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things,

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

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

rsv@Genesis:29:18 @ Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, "I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel."

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

rsv@Genesis:29:27 @ Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years."

rsv@Genesis:29:30 @ So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served Laban for another seven years.

rsv@Genesis:29:31 @ When the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

rsv@Genesis:29:33 @ She conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has given me this son also"; and she called his name Simeon.

rsv@Genesis:29:35 @ And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "This time I will praise the LORD"; therefore she called his name Judah; then she ceased bearing.

rsv@Genesis:30:3 @ Then she said, "Here is my maid Bilhah; go in to her, that she may bear upon my knees, and even I may have children through her."

rsv@Genesis:30:6 @ Then Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice and given me a son"; therefore she called his name Daniel.

rsv@Genesis:30:9 @ When Leah saw that she had ceased bearing children, she took her maid Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.

rsv@Genesis:30:14 @ In the days of wheat harvest Reuben went and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Give me, I pray, some of your son's mandrakes."

rsv@Genesis:30:17 @ And God hearkened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.

rsv@Genesis:30:18 @ Leah said, "God has given me my hire because I gave my maid to my husband"; so she called his name Is'sachar.

rsv@Genesis:30:21 @ Afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

rsv@Genesis:30:22 @ Then God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her and opened her womb.

rsv@Genesis:30:27 @ But Laban said to him, "If you will allow me to say so, I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you;

rsv@Genesis:30:29 @ Jacob said to him, "You yourself know how I have served you, and how your cattle have fared with me.

rsv@Genesis:30:35 @ But that day Laban removed the he-goats that were striped and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white on it, and every lamb that was black, and put them in charge of his sons;

rsv@Genesis:30:37 @ Then Jacob took fresh rods of poplar and almond and plane, and peeled white streaks in them, exposing the white of the rods.

rsv@Genesis:30:40 @ And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the striped and all the black in the flock of Laban; and he put his own droves apart, and did not put them with Laban's flock.

rsv@Genesis:30:43 @ Thus the man grew exceedingly rich, and had large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and asses.

rsv@Genesis:31:1 @ Now Jacob heard that the sons of Laban were saying, "Jacob has taken all that was our father's; and from what was our father's he has gained all this wealth."

rsv@Genesis:31:2 @ And Jacob saw that Laban did not regard him with favor as before.

rsv@Genesis:31:5 @ and said to them, "I see that your father does not regard me with favor as he did before. But the God of my father has been with me.

rsv@Genesis:31:7 @ yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not permit him to harm me.

rsv@Genesis:31:12 @ And he said, `Lift up your eyes and see, all the goats that leap upon the flock are striped, spotted, and mottled; for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you.

rsv@Genesis:31:13 @ I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar and made a vow to me. Now arise, go forth from this land, and return to the land of your birth.'"

rsv@Genesis:31:15 @ Are we not regarded by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and he has been using up the money given for us.

rsv@Genesis:31:17 @ So Jacob arose, and set his sons and his wives on camels;

rsv@Genesis:31:18 @ and he drove away all his cattle, all his livestock which he had gained, the cattle in his possession which he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to the land of Canaan to his father Isaac.

rsv@Genesis:31:19 @ Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole her father's household gods.

rsv@Genesis:31:20 @ And Jacob outwitted Laban the Aramean, in that he did not tell him that he intended to flee.

rsv@Genesis:31:21 @ He fled with all that he had, and arose and crossed the Euphra'tes, and set his face toward the hill country of Gilead.

rsv@Genesis:31:24 @ But God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream by night, and said to him, "Take heed that you say not a word to Jacob, either good or bad."

rsv@Genesis:31:26 @ And Laban said to Jacob, "What have you done, that you have cheated me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?

rsv@Genesis:31:28 @ And why did you not permit me to kiss my sons and my daughters farewell? Now you have done foolishly.

rsv@Genesis:31:29 @ It is in my power to do you harm; but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, `Take heed that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.'

rsv@Genesis:31:35 @ And she said to her father, "Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise before you, for the way of women is upon me." So he searched, but did not find the household gods.

rsv@Genesis:31:38 @ These twenty years I have been with you; your ewes and your she-goats have not miscarried, and I have not eaten the rams of your flocks.

rsv@Genesis:31:41 @ These twenty years I have been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.

rsv@Genesis:31:42 @ If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been on my side, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God saw my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night."

rsv@Genesis:31:43 @ Then Laban answered and said to Jacob, "The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and 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?

rsv@Genesis:31:45 @ So Jacob took a stone, and set it up as a pillar.

rsv@Genesis:31:47 @ Laban called it Je'gar-sahadu'tha: but Jacob called it Galeed.

rsv@Genesis:31:49 @ and the pillar Mizpah, for he said, "The LORD watch between you and me, when we are absent one from the other.

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

rsv@Genesis:31:53 @ The God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us." So Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac,

rsv@Genesis:31:54 @ and Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain and called his kinsmen to eat bread; and they ate bread and tarried all night on the mountain.

rsv@Genesis:31:55 @ Early in the morning Laban arose, and kissed his grandchildren and his daughters and blessed them; then he departed and returned home.

rsv@Genesis:32:2 @ and when Jacob saw them he said, "This is God's army!" So he called the name of that place Mahana'im.

rsv@Genesis:32:11 @ Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him, lest he come and slay us all, the mothers with the children.

rsv@Genesis:32:17 @ He instructed the foremost, "When Esau my brother meets you, and asks you, `To whom do you belong? Where are you going? And whose are these before you?'

rsv@Genesis:32:20 @ and you shall say, `Moreover your servant Jacob is behind us.'" For he thought, "I may appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterwards I shall see his face; perhaps he will accept me."

rsv@Genesis:32:22 @ The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.

rsv@Genesis:33:3 @ He himself went on before them, bowing himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

rsv@Genesis:33:5 @ And when Esau raised his eyes and saw the women and children, he said, "Who are these with you?" Jacob said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."

rsv@Genesis:33:6 @ Then the maids drew near, they and their children, and bowed down;

rsv@Genesis:33:7 @ Leah likewise and her children drew near and bowed down; and last Joseph and Rachel drew near, and they bowed down.

rsv@Genesis:33:13 @ But Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are frail, and that the flocks and herds giving suck are a care to me; and if they are overdriven for one day, all the flocks will die.

rsv@Genesis:33:14 @ Let my lord pass on before his servant, and I will lead on slowly, according to the pace of the cattle which are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord in Se'ir."

rsv@Genesis:33:15 @ So Esau said, "Let me leave with you some of the men who are with me." But he said, "What need is there? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord."

rsv@Genesis:33:18 @ And Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, on his way from Paddan-aram; and he camped before the city.

rsv@Genesis:33:20 @ There he erected an altar and called it El-El'ohe-Israel.

rsv@Genesis:34:5 @ Now Jacob heard that he had defiled his daughter Dinah; but his sons were with his cattle in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came.

rsv@Genesis:34:7 @ The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard of it; and the men were indignant and very angry, because he had wrought folly in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.

rsv@Genesis:34:8 @ But Hamor spoke with them, saying, "The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter; I pray you, give her to him in marriage.

rsv@Genesis:34:9 @ Make marriages with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.

rsv@Genesis:34:12 @ Ask of me ever so much as marriage present and gift, and I will give according as you say to me; only give me the maiden to be my wife."

rsv@Genesis:34:24 @ And all who went out of the gate of his city hearkened to Hamor and his son Shechem; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.

rsv@Genesis:34:25 @ On the third day, when they were sore, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and came upon the city unawares, and killed all the males.

rsv@Genesis:34:30 @ Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on me by making me odious to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Per'izzites; my numbers are few, and if they gather themselves against me and attack me, I shall be destroyed, both I and my household."

rsv@Genesis:34:31 @ But they said, "Should he treat our sister as a harlot?"

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

rsv@Genesis:35:14 @ And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

rsv@Genesis:37:6 @ He said to them, "Hear this dream which I have dreamed:

rsv@Genesis:37:7 @ behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and lo, my sheaf arose and stood upright; and behold, your sheaves gathered round it, and bowed down to my sheaf."

rsv@Genesis:37:8 @ His brothers said to him, "Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to have dominion over us?" So they hated him yet more for his dreams and for his words.

rsv@Genesis:37:9 @ Then he dreamed another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, "Behold, I have dreamed another dream; and behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me."

rsv@Genesis:37:12 @ Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem.

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

rsv@Genesis:37:16 @ "I am seeking my brothers," he said, "tell me, I pray you, where they are pasturing the flock."

rsv@Genesis:37:17 @ And the man said, "They have gone away, for I heard them say, `Let us go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers, and found them at Dothan.

rsv@Genesis:37:18 @ They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them they conspired against him to kill him.

rsv@Genesis:37:21 @ But when Reuben heard it, he delivered him out of their hands, saying, "Let us not take his life."

rsv@Genesis:37:25 @ Then they sat down to eat; and looking up they saw a caravan of Ish'maelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing gum, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry it down to Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:37:34 @ Then Jacob rent his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.

rsv@Genesis:37:36 @ Meanwhile the Mid'ianites had sold him in Egypt to Pot'i-phar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.

rsv@Genesis:38:14 @ she put off her widow's garments, and put on a veil, wrapping herself up, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she had not been given to him in marriage.

rsv@Genesis:38:15 @ When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot, for she had covered her face.

rsv@Genesis:38:19 @ Then she arose and went away, and taking off her veil she put on the garments of her widowhood.

rsv@Genesis:38:21 @ And he asked the men of the place, "Where is the harlot who was at Enaim by the wayside?" And they said, "No harlot has been here."

rsv@Genesis:38:22 @ So he returned to Judah, and said, "I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, `No harlot has been here.'"

rsv@Genesis:38:24 @ About three months later Judah was told, "Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot; and moreover she is with child by harlotry." And Judah said, "Bring her out, and let her be burned."

rsv@Genesis:38:25 @ As she was being brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, "By the man to whom these belong, I am with child." And she said, "Mark, I pray you, whose these are, the signet and the cord and the staff."

rsv@Genesis:39:15 @ and when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment with me, and fled and got out of the house."

rsv@Genesis:39:16 @ Then she laid up his garment by her until his master came home,

rsv@Genesis:40:7 @ So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, "Why are your faces downcast today?"

rsv@Genesis:40:11 @ Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand."

rsv@Genesis:40:12 @ Then Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days;

rsv@Genesis:40:13 @ within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office; and you shall place Pharaoh's cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his butler.

rsv@Genesis:40:14 @ But remember me, when it is well with you, and do me the kindness, I pray you, to make mention of me to Pharaoh, and so get me out of this house.

rsv@Genesis:40:17 @ and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head."

rsv@Genesis:40:18 @ And Joseph answered, "This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;

rsv@Genesis:40:19 @ within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head--from you!--and hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat the flesh from you."

rsv@Genesis:40:20 @ On the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, he made a feast for all his servants, and lifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

rsv@Genesis:40:21 @ He restored the chief butler to his butlership, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand;

rsv@Genesis:41:1 @ After two whole years, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile,

rsv@Genesis:41:4 @ And the gaunt and thin cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. And Pharaoh awoke.

rsv@Genesis:41:5 @ And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven ears of grain, plump and good, were growing on one stalk.

rsv@Genesis:41:6 @ And behold, after them sprouted seven ears, thin and blighted by the east wind.

rsv@Genesis:41:7 @ And the thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.

rsv@Genesis:41:8 @ So in the morning 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 dream, but there was none who could interpret it to Pharaoh.

rsv@Genesis:41:9 @ Then the chief butler said to Pharaoh, "I remember my faults today.

rsv@Genesis:41:10 @ When Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me and the chief baker in custody in the house of the captain of the guard,

rsv@Genesis:41:12 @ A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard; and when we told him, he interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each man according to his dream.

rsv@Genesis:41:14 @ Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon; and when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came in before Pharaoh.

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

rsv@Genesis:41:16 @ Joseph answered Pharaoh, "It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer."

rsv@Genesis:41:17 @ Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Behold, in my dream I was standing on the banks of the Nile;

rsv@Genesis:41:22 @ I also saw in my dream seven ears growing on one stalk, full and good;

rsv@Genesis:41:23 @ and seven ears, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprouted after them,

rsv@Genesis:41:24 @ and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears. And I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."

rsv@Genesis:41:25 @ Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dream of Pharaoh is one; God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.

rsv@Genesis:41:26 @ The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream is one.

rsv@Genesis:41:27 @ The seven lean and gaunt cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears blighted by the east wind are also seven years of famine.

rsv@Genesis:41:28 @ It is as I told Pharaoh, God has shown to Pharaoh what he is about to do.

rsv@Genesis:41:29 @ There will come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt,

rsv@Genesis:41:30 @ but after them there will arise seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; the famine will consume the land,

rsv@Genesis:41:32 @ And the doubling of Pharaoh's dream means that the thing is fixed by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

rsv@Genesis:41:33 @ Now therefore let Pharaoh select a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:41:34 @ Let Pharaoh proceed to appoint overseers over the land, and take the fifth part of the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven plenteous years.

rsv@Genesis:41:35 @ And let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and lay up grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.

rsv@Genesis:41:36 @ That food shall be a reserve for the land against the seven years of famine which are to befall the land of Egypt, so that the land may not perish through the famine."

rsv@Genesis:41:37 @ This proposal seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.

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

rsv@Genesis:41:39 @ So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discreet and wise as you are;

rsv@Genesis:41:40 @ you shall be over my house, and all my people shall order themselves as you command; only as regards the throne will I be greater than you."

rsv@Genesis:41:41 @ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt."

rsv@Genesis:41:42 @ Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in garments of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;

rsv@Genesis:41:43 @ and he made him to ride in his second chariot; and they cried before him, "Bow the knee!" Thus he set him over all the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:41:44 @ Moreover Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man shall lift up hand or foot in all the land of Egypt."

rsv@Genesis:41:45 @ And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaph'enath-pane'ah; and he gave him in marriage As'enath, the daughter of Poti'phera priest of On. So Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:41:46 @ Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went through all the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:41:47 @ During the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth abundantly,

rsv@Genesis:41:48 @ and he gathered up all the food of the seven years when there was plenty in the land of Egypt, and stored up food in the cities; he stored up in every city the food from the fields around it.

rsv@Genesis:41:50 @ Before the year of famine came, Joseph had two sons, whom As'enath, the daughter of Poti'phera priest of On, bore to him.

rsv@Genesis:41:51 @ Joseph called the name of the first-born Manas'seh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father's house."

rsv@Genesis:41:53 @ The seven years of plenty that prevailed in the land of Egypt came to an end;

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

rsv@Genesis:41:55 @ When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph; what he says to you, do."

rsv@Genesis:41:57 @ Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.

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

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

rsv@Genesis:42:4 @ But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with his brothers, for he feared that harm might befall him.

rsv@Genesis:42:9 @ And Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed of them; and he said to them, "You are spies, you have come to see the weakness of the land."

rsv@Genesis:42:11 @ We are all sons of one man, we are honest men, your servants are not spies."

rsv@Genesis:42:13 @ And they said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more."

rsv@Genesis:42:14 @ But Joseph said to them, "It is as I said to you, you are spies.

rsv@Genesis:42:15 @ By this you shall be tested: by the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go from this place unless your youngest brother comes here.

rsv@Genesis:42:16 @ Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, while you remain in prison, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you; or else, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies."

rsv@Genesis:42:18 @ On the third day Joseph said to them, "Do this and you will live, for I fear God:

rsv@Genesis:42:19 @ if you are honest men, let one of your brothers remain confined in your prison, and let the rest go and carry grain for the famine of your households,

rsv@Genesis:42:21 @ Then they said to one another, "In truth we are guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he besought us and we would not listen; therefore is this distress come upon us."

rsv@Genesis:42:26 @ Then they loaded their asses with their grain, and departed.

rsv@Genesis:42:28 @ and he said to his brothers, "My money has been put back; here it is in the mouth of my sack!" At this their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, "What is this that God has done to us?"

rsv@Genesis:42:31 @ But we said to him, `We are honest men, we are not spies;

rsv@Genesis:42:32 @ we are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.'

rsv@Genesis:42:33 @ Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, `By this I shall know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the famine of your households, and go your way.

rsv@Genesis:42:38 @ But he said, "My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he only is left. If harm should befall him on the journey that you are to make, you would bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol."

rsv@Genesis:43:7 @ They replied, "The man questioned us carefully about ourselves and our kindred, saying, `Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?' What we told him was in answer to these questions; could we in any way know that he would say, `Bring your brother down'?"

rsv@Genesis:43:8 @ And 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.

rsv@Genesis:43:9 @ I will be surety for him; of 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 for ever;

rsv@Genesis:43:19 @ So they went up to the steward of Joseph's house, and spoke with him at the door of the house,

rsv@Exodus:32:6 @ And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

rsv@Exodus:32:8 @ they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them; they have made for themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it, and said, `These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!'"

rsv@Exodus:32:12 @ Why should the Egyptians say, `With evil intent did he bring them forth, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth'? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.

rsv@Exodus:32:13 @ Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou didst swear by thine own self, and didst say to them, `I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it for ever.'"

rsv@Exodus:32:17 @ When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is a noise of war in the camp."

rsv@Exodus:32:18 @ But he said, "It is not the sound of shouting for victory, or the sound of the cry of defeat, but the sound of singing that I hear."

rsv@Exodus:32:19 @ And as soon as he came near the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, Moses' anger burned hot, and he threw the tables out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain.

rsv@Exodus:32:21 @ And Moses said to Aaron, "What did this people do to you that you have brought a great sin upon them?"

rsv@Exodus:32:22 @ And Aaron said, "Let not the anger of my lord burn hot; you know the people, that they are set on evil.

rsv@Exodus:32:25 @ And when Moses saw that the people had broken loose (for Aaron had let them break loose, to their shame among their enemies),

rsv@Exodus:32:35 @ And the LORD sent a plague upon the people, because they made the calf which Aaron made.

rsv@Exodus:33:1 @ The LORD said to Moses, "Depart, go up hence, you and the people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, `To your descendants I will give it.'

rsv@Exodus:33:3 @ Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up among you, lest I consume you in the way, for you are a stiff-necked people."

rsv@Exodus:33:4 @ When the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned; and no man put on his ornaments.

rsv@Exodus:33:5 @ For the LORD had said to Moses, "Say to the people of Israel, `You are a stiff-necked people; if for a single moment I should go up among you, I would consume you. So now put off your ornaments from you, that I may know what to do with you.'"

rsv@Exodus:33:6 @ Therefore the people of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, from Mount Horeb onward.

rsv@Exodus:33:7 @ Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp; and he called it the tent of meeting. And every one who sought the LORD would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp.

rsv@Exodus:33:9 @ When Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the door of the tent, and the LORD would speak with Moses.

rsv@Exodus:33:10 @ And when all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the door of the tent, all the people would rise up and worship, every man at his tent door.

rsv@Exodus:33:11 @ Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tent.

rsv@Exodus:33:15 @ And he said to him, "If thy presence will not go with me, do not carry us up from here.

rsv@Exodus:33:16 @ For how shall it be known that I have found favor in thy sight, I and thy people? Is it not in thy going with us, so that we are distinct, I and thy people, from all other people that are upon the face of the earth?"

rsv@Exodus:34:9 @ And he said, "If now I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, let the Lord, I pray thee, go in the midst of us, although it is a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thy inheritance."

rsv@Exodus:34:10 @ And he said, "Behold, I make a covenant. Before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been wrought in all the earth or in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the LORD; for it is a terrible thing that I will do with you.

rsv@Exodus:34:30 @ And when Aaron and all the people of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.

rsv@Exodus:34:31 @ But Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses talked with them.

rsv@Numbers:16:10 @ and that he has brought you near him, and all your brethren the sons of Levi with you? And would you seek the priesthood also?

rsv@Numbers:16:11 @ Therefore it is against the LORD that you and all your company have gathered together; what is Aaron that you murmur against him?"

rsv@Numbers:16:14 @ Moreover you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up."

rsv@Numbers:16:15 @ And Moses was very angry, and said to the LORD, "Do not respect their offering. I have not taken one ass from them, and I have not harmed one of them."

rsv@Numbers:16:16 @ And Moses said to Korah, "Be present, you and all your company, before the LORD, you and they, and Aaron, tomorrow;

rsv@Numbers:16:17 @ and let every one of you take his censer, and put incense upon it, and every one of you bring before the LORD his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each his censer."

rsv@Numbers:16:18 @ So every man took his censer, and they put fire in them and laid incense upon them, and they stood at the entrance of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.

rsv@Numbers:16:19 @ Then Korah assembled all the congregation against them at the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the glory of the LORD appeared to all the congregation.

rsv@Numbers:16:20 @ And the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron,

rsv@Numbers:16:21 @ "Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment."

rsv@Numbers:16:26 @ And he said to the congregation, "Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be swept away with all their sins."

rsv@Numbers:16:29 @ If these men die the common death of all men, or if they are visited by the fate of all men, then the LORD has not sent me.

rsv@Numbers:16:32 @ and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the men that belonged to Korah and all their goods.

rsv@Numbers:16:33 @ So they and all that belonged to them went down alive into Sheol; and the earth closed over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly.

rsv@Numbers:16:34 @ And all Israel that were round about them fled at their cry; for they said, "Lest the earth swallow us up!"

rsv@Numbers:16:37 @ "Tell Elea'zar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censers out of the blaze; then scatter the fire far and wide. For they are holy,

rsv@Numbers:16:38 @ the censers of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives; so let them be made into hammered plates as a covering for the altar, for they offered them before the LORD; therefore they are holy. Thus they shall be a sign to the people of Israel."

rsv@Numbers:16:39 @ So Elea'zar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were burned had offered; and they were hammered out as a covering for the altar,

rsv@Numbers:16:40 @ to be a reminder to the people of Israel, so that no one who is not a priest, who is not of the descendants of Aaron, should draw near to burn incense before the LORD, lest he become as Korah and as his company--as the LORD said to Elea'zar through Moses.

rsv@Numbers:16:41 @ But on the morrow all the congregation of the people of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, "You have killed the people of the LORD."

rsv@Numbers:16:42 @ And when the congregation had assembled against Moses and against Aaron, they turned toward the tent of meeting; and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.

rsv@Numbers:16:43 @ And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting,

rsv@Numbers:16:46 @ And Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense on it, and carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone forth from the LORD, the plague has begun."

rsv@Numbers:16:47 @ So Aaron took it as Moses said, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and behold, the plague had already begun among the people; and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.

rsv@Numbers:17:10 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept as a sign for the rebels, that you may make an end of their murmurings against me, lest they die."

rsv@Numbers:17:12 @ And the people of Israel said to Moses, "Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.

rsv@Numbers:17:13 @ Every one who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of the LORD, shall die. Are we all to perish?"

rsv@Numbers:18:1 @ So the LORD said to Aaron, "You and your sons and your fathers' house with you shall bear iniquity in connection with the sanctuary; and you and your sons with you shall bear iniquity in connection with your priesthood.

rsv@Numbers:18:2 @ And with you bring your brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may join you, and minister to you while you and your sons with you are before the tent of the testimony.

rsv@Numbers:18:3 @ They shall attend you and attend to all duties of the tent; but shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary or to the altar, lest they, and you, die.

rsv@Numbers:18:4 @ They shall join you, and attend to the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent; and no one else shall come near you.

rsv@Numbers:18:5 @ And you shall attend to the duties of the sanctuary and the duties of the altar, that there be wrath no more upon the people of Israel.

rsv@Numbers:18:6 @ And behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the people of Israel; they are a gift to you, given to the LORD, to do the service of the tent of meeting.

rsv@Numbers:18:7 @ And you and your sons with you shall attend to your priesthood for all that concerns the altar and that is within the veil; and you shall serve. I give your priesthood as a gift, and any one else who comes near shall be put to death."

rsv@Numbers:18:8 @ Then the LORD said to Aaron, "And behold, I have given you whatever is kept of the offerings made to me, all the consecrated things of the people of Israel; I have given them to you as a portion, and to your sons as a perpetual due.

rsv@Numbers:18:16 @ And their redemption price (at a month old you shall redeem them) you shall fix at five shekels in silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.

rsv@Numbers:18:18 @ but their flesh shall be yours, as the breast that is waved and as the right thigh are yours.

rsv@Numbers:18:20 @ And the LORD said to Aaron, "You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them; I am your portion and your inheritance among the people of Israel.

rsv@Numbers:18:22 @ And henceforth the people of Israel shall not come near the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin and die.

rsv@Numbers:18:23 @ But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations; and among the people of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

rsv@Numbers:18:28 @ So shall you also present an offering to the LORD from all your tithes, which you receive from the people of Israel; and from it you shall give the LORD's offering to Aaron the priest.

rsv@Numbers:18:29 @ Out of all the gifts to you, you shall present every offering due to the LORD, from all the best of them, giving the hallowed part from them.'

rsv@Joshua:8:4 @ And he commanded them, "Behold, you shall lie in ambush against the city, behind it; do not go very far from the city, but hold yourselves all in readiness;

rsv@Joshua:8:5 @ and I, and all the people who are with me, will approach the city. And when they come out against us, as before, we shall flee before them;

rsv@Joshua:8:6 @ and they will come out after us, till we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, `They are fleeing from us, as before.' So we will flee from them;

rsv@Joshua:8:10 @ And Joshua arose early in the morning and mustered the people, and went up, with the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.

rsv@Joshua:8:11 @ And all the fighting men who were with him went up, and drew near before the city, and encamped on the north side of Ai, with a ravine between them and Ai.

rsv@Joshua:8:13 @ So they stationed the forces, the main encampment which was north of the city and its rear guard west of the city. But Joshua spent that night in the valley.

rsv@Joshua:8:14 @ And when the king of Ai saw this he and all his people, the men of the city, made haste and went out early to the descent toward the Arabah to meet Israel in battle; but he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

rsv@Joshua:8:18 @ Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand toward Ai; for I will give it into your hand." And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.

rsv@Joshua:8:30 @ Then Joshua built an altar in Mount Ebal to the LORD, the God of Israel,

rsv@Joshua:8:31 @ as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the people of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, "an altar of unhewn stones, upon which no man has lifted an iron tool"; and they offered on it burnt offerings to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.

rsv@Joshua:8:34 @ And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.

rsv@Joshua:9:1 @ When all the kings who were beyond the Jordan in the hill country and in the lowland all along the coast of the Great Sea toward Lebanon, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Per'izzites, the Hivites, and the Jeb'usites, heard of this,

rsv@Joshua:9:3 @ But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai,

rsv@Joshua:9:4 @ they on their part acted with cunning, and went and made ready provisions, and took worn-out sacks upon their asses, and wineskins, worn-out and torn and mended,

rsv@Joshua:9:6 @ And they went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, "We have come from a far country; so now make a covenant with us."

rsv@Joshua:9:8 @ They said to Joshua, "We are your servants." And Joshua said to them, "Who are you? And where do you come from?"

rsv@Joshua:9:9 @ 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 a report of him, and all that he did in Egypt,

rsv@Joshua:9:10 @ and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ash'taroth.

rsv@Joshua:9:11 @ And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country said to us, `Take provisions in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, "We are your servants; come now, make a covenant with us."'

rsv@Joshua:9:12 @ Here is our bread; it was still warm when we took it from our houses as our food for the journey, on the day we set forth to come to you, but now, behold, it is dry and moldy;

rsv@Joshua:9:13 @ these wineskins were new when we filled them, and behold, they are burst; and these garments and shoes of ours are worn out from the very long journey."

rsv@Joshua:9:14 @ So the men partook of their provisions, and did not ask direction from the LORD.

rsv@Joshua:9:16 @ At the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they dwelt among them.

rsv@Joshua:9:17 @ And the people of Israel set out and reached their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephi'rah, Be-er'oth, and Kir'iath-je'arim.

rsv@Joshua:9:22 @ Joshua summoned them, and he said to them, "Why did you deceive us, saying, `We are very far from you,' when you dwell among us?

rsv@Joshua:9:23 @ Now therefore you are cursed, and some of you shall always be slaves, hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God."

rsv@Joshua:9:24 @ They answered Joshua, "Because it was told to your servants for a certainty that the LORD your God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; so we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and did this thing.

rsv@Joshua:9:25 @ And now, behold, we are in your hand: do as it seems good and right in your sight to do to us."

rsv@Joshua:9:27 @ But Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of the LORD, to continue to this day, in the place which he should choose.

rsv@Joshua:10:1 @ When Ado'ni-ze'dek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it, doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among them,

rsv@Joshua:10:2 @ he feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.

rsv@Joshua:10:3 @ So Ado'ni-ze'dek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, to Japhi'a king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,

rsv@Joshua:10:5 @ Then the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered their forces, and went up with all their armies and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.

rsv@Joshua:10:6 @ And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, saying, "Do not relax your hand from your servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country are gathered against us."

rsv@Joshua:10:7 @ So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.

rsv@Joshua:10:8 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands; there shall not a man of them stand before you."

rsv@Joshua:10:9 @ So Joshua came upon them suddenly, having marched up all night from Gilgal.

rsv@Joshua:10:10 @ And the LORD threw them into a panic before Israel, who slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-hor'on, and smote them as far as Aze'kah and Makke'dah.

rsv@Joshua:10:11 @ And as they fled before Israel, while they were going down the ascent of Beth-hor'on, the LORD threw down great stones from heaven upon them as far as Aze'kah, and they died; there were more who died because of the hailstones than the men of Israel killed with the sword.

rsv@Joshua:10:13 @ And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.

rsv@Joshua:10:14 @ There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD hearkened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.

rsv@Joshua:10:18 @ And Joshua said, "Roll great stones against the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to guard them;

rsv@Joshua:10:19 @ but do not stay there yourselves, pursue your enemies, fall upon their rear, do not let them enter their cities; for the LORD your God has given them into your hand."

rsv@Joshua:10:23 @ And they did so, and brought those five kings out 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.

rsv@Joshua:10:24 @ And when they brought those kings out to Joshua, Joshua summoned all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, "Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings." Then they came near, and put their feet on their necks.

rsv@Joshua:10:26 @ And afterward Joshua smote them and put them to death, and he hung them on five trees. And they hung upon the trees until evening;

rsv@Joshua:10:41 @ And Joshua defeated them from Ka'desh-bar'nea to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, as far as Gibeon.

rsv@Joshua:11:1 @ When Jabin king of Hazor heard of this, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Ach'shaph,

rsv@Joshua:11:6 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them, for tomorrow at this time I will give over all of them, slain, to Israel; you shall hamstring their horses, and burn their chariots with fire."

rsv@Joshua:11:7 @ So Joshua came suddenly upon them with all his people of war, by the waters of Merom, and fell upon them.

rsv@Joshua:11:8 @ And the LORD gave them into the hand of Israel, who smote them and chased them as far as Great Sidon and Mis'rephoth-ma'im, and eastward as far as the valley of Mizpeh; and they smote them, until they left none remaining.

rsv@Joshua:11:9 @ And Joshua did to them as the LORD bade him; he hamstrung their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.

rsv@Joshua:11:20 @ For it was the LORD's doing to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, in order that they should be utterly destroyed, and should receive no mercy but be exterminated, as the LORD commanded Moses.

rsv@Joshua:11:23 @ So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD had spoken to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their tribal allotments. And the land had rest from war.

rsv@Joshua:12:1 @ Now these are the kings of the land, whom the people of Israel defeated, and took possession of their land beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon, with all the Arabah eastward:

rsv@Joshua:19:9 @ The inheritance of the tribe of Simeon formed part of the territory of Judah; because the portion of the tribe of Judah was too large for them, the tribe of Simeon obtained an inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.

rsv@Joshua:19:10 @ The third lot came up for the tribe of Zeb'ulun, according to its families. And the territory of its inheritance reached as far as Sarid;

rsv@Joshua:19:11 @ then its boundary goes up westward, and on to Mar'eal, and touches Dab'besheth, then the brook which is east of Jok'ne-am;

rsv@Joshua:19:12 @ from Sarid it goes in the other direction eastward toward the sunrise to the boundary of Chis'loth-ta'bor; thence it goes to Dab'erath, then up to Japhi'a;

rsv@Joshua:19:34 @ then the boundary turns westward to Az'noth-tabor, and goes from there to Hukkok, touching Zeb'ulun at the south, and Asher on the west, and Judah on the east at the Jordan.

rsv@Joshua:19:35 @ The fortified cities are Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Chin'nereth,

rsv@Joshua:19:51 @ These are the inheritances which Elea'zar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the people of Israel distributed by lot at Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing the land.

rsv@Joshua:20:7 @ So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naph'tali, and Shechem in the hill country of E'phraim, and Kir'iath-ar'ba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.

rsv@Joshua:21:1 @ Then the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites came to Elea'zar the priest and to Joshua the son of Nun and to the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the people of Israel;

rsv@Joshua:21:4 @ The lot came out for the families of the Ko'hathites. So those Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest received by lot from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin, thirteen cities.

rsv@Joshua:21:6 @ The Gersonites received by lot from the families of the tribe of Is'sachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of Naph'tali, and from the half-tribe of Manas'seh in Bashan, thirteen cities.

rsv@Joshua:21:7 @ The Merar'ites according to their families received from the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad, and the tribe of Zeb'ulun, twelve cities.

rsv@Joshua:21:10 @ which went to the descendants of Aaron, one of the families of the Ko'hathites who belonged to the Levites; since the lot fell to them first.

rsv@Joshua:21:11 @ They gave them Kir'iath-ar'ba (Arba being the father of Anak), that is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, along with the pasture lands round about it.

rsv@Joshua:21:13 @ And to the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron, the city of refuge for the slayer, with its pasture lands, Libnah with its pasture lands,

rsv@Joshua:21:19 @ The cities of the descendants of Aaron, the priests, were in all thirteen cities with their pasture lands.

rsv@Joshua:21:28 @ and out of the tribe of Is'sachar, Ki'shion with its pasture lands, Dab'erath with its pasture lands,

rsv@Joshua:21:32 @ and out of the tribe of Naph'tali, Kedesh in Galilee with its pasture lands, the city of refuge for the slayer, Ham'moth-dor with its pasture lands, and Kartan with its pasture lands--three cities.

rsv@Joshua:21:34 @ And to the rest of the Levites, the Merar'ite families, were given out of the tribe of Zeb'ulun, Jok'ne-am with its pasture lands, Kartah with its pasture lands,

rsv@Joshua:21:40 @ As for the cities of the several Merar'ite families, that is, the remainder of the families of the Levites, those allotted to them were in all twelve cities.

rsv@Joshua:22:3 @ you have not forsaken your brethren these many days, down to this day, but have been careful to keep the charge of the LORD your God.

rsv@Joshua:22:9 @ So the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manas'seh returned home, parting from the people of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, their own land of which they had possessed themselves by command of the LORD through Moses.

rsv@Joshua:22:10 @ And when they came to the region about the Jordan, that lies in the land of Canaan, the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manas'seh built there an altar by the Jordan, an altar of great size.

rsv@Joshua:22:11 @ And the people of Israel heard say, "Behold, the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manas'seh have built an altar at the frontier of the land of Canaan, in the region about the Jordan, on the side that belongs to the people of Israel."

rsv@Joshua:22:12 @ And when the people of Israel heard of it, the whole assembly of the people of Israel gathered at Shiloh, to make war against them.

rsv@Joshua:22:13 @ Then the people of Israel sent to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manas'seh, in the land of Gilead, Phin'ehas the son of Elea'zar the priest,

rsv@Joshua:22:16 @ "Thus says the whole congregation of the LORD, `What is this treachery which you have committed against the God of Israel in turning away this day from following the LORD, by building yourselves an altar this day in rebellion against the LORD?

rsv@Joshua:22:19 @ But now, if your land is unclean, pass over into the LORD's land where the LORD's tabernacle stands, and take for yourselves a possession among us; only do not rebel against the LORD, or make us as rebels by building yourselves an altar other than the altar of the LORD our God.

rsv@Joshua:22:23 @ for building an altar to turn away from following the LORD; or if we did so to offer burnt offerings or cereal offerings or peace offerings on it, may the LORD himself take vengeance.

rsv@Joshua:22:24 @ Nay, but we did it from fear that in time to come your children might say to our children, `What have you to do with the LORD, the God of Israel?

rsv@Joshua:22:25 @ For the LORD has made the Jordan a boundary between us and you, you Reubenites and Gadites; you have no portion in the LORD.' So your children might make our children cease to worship the LORD.

rsv@Joshua:22:26 @ Therefore we said, `Let us now build an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice,

rsv@Joshua:22:28 @ And we thought, If this should be said to us or to our descendants in time to come, we should say, `Behold the copy of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifice, but to be a witness between us and you.'

rsv@Joshua:22:29 @ Far be it from us that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn away this day from following the LORD by building an altar for burnt offering, cereal offering, or sacrifice, other than the altar of the LORD our God that stands before his tabernacle!"

rsv@Joshua:22:30 @ When Phin'ehas the priest and the chiefs of the congregation, the heads of the families of Israel who were with him, heard the words that the Reubenites and the Gadites and the Manas'sites spoke, it pleased them well.

rsv@Joshua:22:31 @ And Phin'ehas the son of Elea'zar the priest said to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the Manas'sites, "Today we know that the LORD is in the midst of us, because you have not committed this treachery against the LORD; now you have saved the people of Israel from the hand of the LORD."

rsv@Joshua:22:32 @ Then Phin'ehas the son of Elea'zar the priest, and the chiefs, returned from the Reubenites and the Gadites in the land of Gilead to the land of Canaan, to the people of Israel, and brought back word to them.

rsv@Joshua:22:33 @ And the report pleased the people of Israel; and the people of Israel blessed God and spoke no more of making war against them, to destroy the land where the Reubenites and the Gadites were settled.

rsv@Joshua:22:34 @ The Reubenites and the Gadites called the altar Witness; "For," said they, "it is a witness between us that the LORD is God."

rsv@Joshua:23:1 @ A long time afterward, when the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua was old and well advanced in years,

rsv@Joshua:23:2 @ Joshua summoned all Israel, their elders and heads, their judges and officers, and said to them, "I am now old and well advanced in years;

rsv@Joshua:23:13 @ know assuredly that the LORD your God will not continue to drive out these nations before you; but they shall be a snare and a trap for you, a scourge on your sides, and thorns in your eyes, till you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.

rsv@Joshua:23:14 @ "And now I am about to go the way of all the earth, and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God promised concerning you; all have come to pass for you, not one of them has failed.

rsv@Joshua:24:5 @ And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt with what I did in the midst of it; and afterwards I brought you out.

rsv@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.

rsv@Joshua:24:7 @ And when they cried to the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and made the sea come upon them and cover them; and your eyes saw what I did to Egypt; and you lived in the wilderness a long time.

rsv@Joshua:24:9 @ Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel; and he sent and invited Balaam the son of Be'or to curse you,

rsv@Joshua:24:13 @ I gave you a land on which you had not labored, and cities which you had not built, and you dwell therein; you eat the fruit of vineyards and oliveyards which you did not plant.'

rsv@Joshua:24:14 @ "Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness; put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.

rsv@Joshua:24:16 @ Then the people answered, "Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;

rsv@Joshua:24:20 @ If you forsake the LORD and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you harm, and consume you, after having done you good."

rsv@Joshua:24:22 @ Then Joshua said to the people, "You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the LORD, to serve him." And they said, "We are witnesses."

rsv@Joshua:24:23 @ He said, "Then put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the LORD, the God of Israel."

rsv@Joshua:24:26 @ And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak in the sanctuary of the LORD.

rsv@Joshua:24:27 @ And Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it has heard all the words of the LORD which he spoke to us; therefore it shall be a witness against you, lest you deal falsely with your God."

rsv@Joshua:24:29 @ After these things Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being a hundred and ten years old.

rsv@Joshua:24:33 @ And Elea'zar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him at Gib'e-ah, the town of Phin'ehas his son, which had been given him in the hill country of E'phraim.

rsv@Judges:1:9 @ And afterward the men of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who dwelt in the hill country, in the Negeb, and in the lowland.

rsv@Judges:1:10 @ And Judah went against the Canaanites who dwelt in Hebron (now the name of Hebron was formerly Kir'iath-ar'ba); and they defeated She'shai and Ahi'man and Talmai.

rsv@Judges:1:16 @ And the descendants of the Ken'ite, Moses' father-in-law, went up with the people of Judah from the city of palms into the wilderness of Judah, which lies in the Negeb near Arad; and they went and settled with the people.

rsv@Judges:1:19 @ And the LORD was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but he could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain, because they had chariots of iron.

rsv@Judges:1:35 @ the Amorites persisted in dwelling in Har-heres, in Ai'jalon, and in Sha-al'bim, but the hand of the house of Joseph rested heavily upon them, and they became subject to forced labor.

rsv@Judges:1:36 @ And the border of the Amorites ran from the ascent of Akrab'bim, from Sela and upward.

rsv@Judges:2:2 @ and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars.' But you have not obeyed my command. What is this you have done?

rsv@Judges:2:3 @ So now I say, I will not drive them out before you; but they shall become adversaries to you, and their gods shall be a snare to you."

rsv@Judges:2:8 @ And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of one hundred and ten years.

rsv@Judges:2:10 @ And all that generation also were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, who did not know the LORD or the work which he had done for Israel.

rsv@Judges:2:13 @ They forsook the LORD, and served the Ba'als and the Ash'taroth.

rsv@Judges:2:15 @ Whenever they marched out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had warned, and as the LORD had sworn to them; and they were in sore straits.

rsv@Judges:2:17 @ And yet they did not listen to their judges; for they played the harlot after other gods and bowed down to them; they soon turned aside from the way in which their fathers had walked, who had obeyed the commandments of the LORD, and they did not do so.

rsv@Judges:2:22 @ that by them I may test Israel, whether they will take care to walk in the way of the LORD as their fathers did, or not."

rsv@Judges:3:1 @ Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to test Israel by them, that is, all in Israel who had no experience of any war in Canaan;

rsv@Judges:3:2 @ it was only that the generations of the people of Israel might know war, that he might teach war to such at least as had not known it before.

rsv@Judges:3:3 @ These are the nations: the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sido'nians, and the Hivites who dwelt on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Ba'al-her'mon as far as the entrance of Hamath.

rsv@Judges:3:8 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cu'shan-rishatha'im king of Mesopota'mia; and the people of Israel served Cu'shan-rishatha'im eight years.

rsv@Judges:3:10 @ The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel; he went out to war, and the LORD gave Cu'shan-rishatha'im king of Mesopota'mia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cu'shan-rishatha'im.

rsv@Judges:3:11 @ So the land had rest forty years. Then Oth'ni-el the son of Kenaz died.

rsv@Judges:3:14 @ And the people of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

rsv@Judges:3:18 @ And when Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people that carried the tribute.

rsv@Judges:3:19 @ But he himself turned back at the sculptured stones near Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." And he commanded, "Silence." And all his attendants went out from his presence.

rsv@Judges:3:20 @ And Ehud came to him, as he was sitting alone in his cool roof chamber. And Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." And he arose from his seat.

rsv@Judges:3:27 @ When he arrived, he sounded the trumpet in the hill country of E'phraim; and the people of Israel went down with him from the hill country, having him at their head.

rsv@Judges:3:30 @ So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest for eighty years.

rsv@Judges:3:31 @ After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who killed six hundred of the Philistines with an oxgoad; and he too delivered Israel.

rsv@Judges:4:2 @ And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the commander of his army was Sis'era, who dwelt in Haro'sheth-ha-goiim.

rsv@Judges:4:3 @ Then the people of Israel cried to the LORD for help; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and oppressed the people of Israel cruelly for twenty years.

rsv@Judges:4:6 @ She sent and summoned Barak the son of Abin'o-am from Kedesh in Naph'tali, and said to him, "The LORD, the God of Israel, commands you, `Go, gather your men at Mount Tabor, taking ten thousand from the tribe of Naph'tali and the tribe of Zeb'ulun.

rsv@Judges:4:7 @ And I will draw out Sis'era, the general of Jabin's army, to meet you by the river Kishon with his chariots and his troops; and I will give him into your hand.'"

rsv@Judges:4:8 @ Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go."

rsv@Judges:4:9 @ And she said, "I will surely go with you; nevertheless, the road on which you are going will not lead to your glory, for the LORD will sell Sis'era into the hand of a woman." Then Deb'orah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.

rsv@Judges:4:10 @ And Barak summoned Zeb'ulun and Naph'tali to Kedesh; and ten thousand men went up at his heels; and Deb'orah went up with him.

rsv@Judges:4:11 @ Now Heber the Ken'ite had separated from the Ken'ites, the descendants of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far away as the oak in Za-anan'nim, which is near Kedesh.

rsv@Judges:4:12 @ When Sis'era was told that Barak the son of Abin'o-am had gone up to Mount Tabor,

rsv@Judges:4:13 @ Sis'era called out all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the men who were with him, from Haro'sheth-ha-goiim to the river Kishon.

rsv@Judges:4:14 @ And Deb'orah said to Barak, "Up! For this is the day in which the LORD has given Sis'era into your hand. Does not the LORD go out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.

rsv@Judges:4:15 @ And the LORD routed Sis'era and all his chariots and all his army before Barak at the edge of the sword; and Sis'era alighted from his chariot and fled away on foot.

rsv@Judges:4:16 @ And Barak pursued the chariots and the army to Haro'sheth-ha-goiim, and all the army of Sis'era fell by the edge of the sword; not a man was left.

rsv@Judges:4:18 @ And Ja'el came out to meet Sis'era, and said to him, "Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me; have no fear." So he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.

rsv@Judges:4:21 @ But Ja'el the wife of Heber took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, till it went down into the ground, as he was lying fast asleep from weariness. So he died.

rsv@Judges:4:22 @ And behold, as Barak pursued Sis'era, Ja'el went out to meet him, and said to him, "Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking." So he went in to her tent; and there lay Sis'era dead, with the tent peg in his temple.

rsv@Judges:4:24 @ And the hand of the people of Israel bore harder and harder on Jabin the king of Canaan, until they destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.

rsv@Judges:5:1 @ Then sang Deb'orah and Barak the son of Abin'o-am on that day:

rsv@Judges:5:3 @ "Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes; to the LORD I will sing, I will make melody to the LORD, the God of Israel.

rsv@Judges:5:4 @ "LORD, when thou didst go forth from Se'ir, when thou didst march from the region of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, yea, the clouds dropped water.

rsv@Judges:5:7 @ The peasantry ceased in Israel, they ceased until you arose, Deb'orah, arose as a mother in Israel.

rsv@Judges:5:8 @ When new gods were chosen, then war was in the gates. Was shield or spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel?

rsv@Judges:5:14 @ From E'phraim they set out thither into the valley, following you, Benjamin, with your kinsmen; from Machir marched down the commanders, and from Zeb'ulun those who bear the marshal's staff;

rsv@Judges:5:15 @ the princes of Is'sachar came with Deb'orah, and Is'sachar faithful to Barak; into the valley they rushed forth at his heels. Among the clans of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

rsv@Judges:6:1 @ The people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD gave them into the hand of Mid'ian seven years.

rsv@Judges:6:2 @ And the hand of Mid'ian prevailed over Israel; and because of Mid'ian the people of Israel made for themselves the dens which are in the mountains, and the caves and the strongholds.

rsv@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."

rsv@Judges:6:13 @ And Gideon said to him, "Pray, sir, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this befallen us?

rsv@Judges:6:18 @ Do not depart from here, I pray thee, until I come to thee, and bring out my present, and set it before thee." And he said, "I will stay till you return."

rsv@Judges:6:19 @ So Gideon went into his house and prepared a kid, and unleavened cakes from an ephah of flour; the meat he put in a basket, and the broth he put in a pot, and brought them to him under the oak and presented them.

rsv@Judges:6:23 @ But the LORD said to him, "Peace be to you; do not fear, you shall not die."

rsv@Judges:6:24 @ Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it, The LORD is peace. To this day it still stands at Ophrah, which belongs to the Abiez'rites.

rsv@Judges:6:25 @ That night the LORD said to him, "Take your father's bull, the second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Ba'al which your father has, and cut down the Ashe'rah that is beside it;

rsv@Judges:6:26 @ and build an altar to the LORD your God on the top of the stronghold here, with stones laid in due order; then take the second bull, and offer it as a burnt offering with the wood of the Ashe'rah which you shall cut down."

rsv@Judges:6:28 @ When the men of the town rose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Ba'al was broken down, and the Ashe'rah beside it was cut down, and the second bull was offered upon the altar which had been built.

rsv@Judges:6:29 @ And they said to one another, "Who has done this thing?" And after they had made search and inquired, they said, "Gideon the son of Jo'ash has done this thing."

rsv@Judges:6:30 @ Then the men of the town said to Jo'ash, "Bring out your son, that he may die, for he has pulled down the altar of Ba'al and cut down the Ashe'rah beside it."

rsv@Judges:6:31 @ But Jo'ash said to all who were arrayed against him, "Will you contend for Ba'al? Or will you defend his cause? Whoever contends for him shall be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because his altar has been pulled down."

rsv@Judges:6:32 @ Therefore on that day he was called Jerubba'al, that is to say, "Let Ba'al contend against him," because he pulled down his altar.

rsv@Judges:6:38 @ And it was so. When he rose early next morning and squeezed the fleece, he wrung enough dew from the fleece to fill a bowl with water.

rsv@Judges:7:1 @ Then Jerubba'al (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him rose early and encamped beside the spring of Harod; and the camp of Mid'ian was north of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.

rsv@Judges:7:2 @ The LORD said to Gideon, "The people with you are too many for me to give the Mid'ianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, `My own hand has delivered me.'

rsv@Judges:7:3 @ Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, `Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return home.'" And Gideon tested them; twenty-two thousand returned, and ten thousand remained.

rsv@Judges:7:4 @ And the LORD said to Gideon, "The people are still too many; take them down to the water and I will test them for you there; and he of whom I say to you, `This man shall go with you,' shall go with you; and any of whom I say to you, `This man shall not go with you,' shall not go."

rsv@Judges:7:8 @ So he took the jars of the people from their hands, and their trumpets; and he sent all the rest of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Mid'ian was below him in the valley.

rsv@Judges:7:9 @ That same night the LORD said to him, "Arise, go down against the camp; for I have given it into your hand.

rsv@Judges:7:10 @ But if you fear to go down, go down to the camp with Purah your servant;

rsv@Judges:7:11 @ and you shall hear what they say, and afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down against the camp." Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outposts of the armed men that were in the camp.

rsv@Judges:7:13 @ When Gideon came, behold, a man was telling a dream to his comrade; and he said, "Behold, I dreamed a dream; and lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Mid'ian, and came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat."

rsv@Judges:7:15 @ When Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped; and he returned to the camp of Israel, and said, "Arise; for the LORD has given the host of Mid'ian into your hand."

rsv@Judges:7:16 @ And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and put trumpets into the hands of all of them and empty jars, with torches inside the jars.

rsv@Judges:7:18 @ When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and shout, `For the LORD and for Gideon.'"

rsv@Judges:7:19 @ So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just set the watch; and they blew the trumpets and smashed the jars that were in their hands.

rsv@Judges:7:20 @ And the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the jars, holding in their left hands the torches, and in their right hands the trumpets to blow; and they cried, "A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!"

rsv@Judges:7:21 @ They stood every man in his place round about the camp, and all the army ran; they cried out and fled.

rsv@Judges:7:22 @ When they blew the three hundred trumpets, the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow and against all the army; and the army fled as far as Beth-shit'tah toward Zer'erah, as far as the border of A'bel-meho'lah, by Tabbath.

rsv@Judges:7:24 @ And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of E'phraim, saying, "Come down against the Mid'ianites and seize the waters against them, as far as Beth-bar'ah, and also the Jordan." So all the men of E'phraim were called out, and they seized the waters as far as Beth-bar'ah, and also the Jordan.

rsv@Judges:8:2 @ And he said to them, "What have I done now in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of E'phraim better than the vintage of Abi-e'zer?

rsv@Judges:8:3 @ God has given into your hands the princes of Mid'ian, Oreb and Zeeb; what have I been able to do in comparison with you?" Then their anger against him was abated, when he had said this.

rsv@Judges:8:5 @ So he said to the men of Succoth, "Pray, give loaves of bread to the people who follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmun'na, the kings of Mid'ian."

rsv@Judges:8:6 @ And the officials of Succoth said, "Are Zebah and Zalmun'na already in your hand, that we should give bread to your army?"

rsv@Judges:8:10 @ Now Zebah and Zalmun'na were in Karkor with their army, about fifteen thousand men, all who were left of all the army of the people of the East; for there had fallen a hundred and twenty thousand men who drew the sword.

rsv@Judges:8:11 @ And Gideon went up by the caravan route east of Nobah and Jog'behah, and attacked the army; for the army was off its guard.

rsv@Judges:8:12 @ And Zebah and Zalmun'na fled; and he pursued them and took the two kings of Mid'ian, Zebah and Zalmun'na, and he threw all the army into a panic.

rsv@Judges:8:15 @ And he came to the men of Succoth, and said, "Behold Zebah and Zalmun'na, about whom you taunted me, saying, `Are Zebah and Zalmun'na already in your hand, that we should give bread to your men who are faint?'"

rsv@Judges:8:18 @ Then he said to Zebah and Zalmun'na, "Where are the men whom you slew at Tabor?" They answered, "As you are, so were they, every one of them; they resembled the sons of a king."

rsv@Judges:8:21 @ Then Zebah and Zalmun'na said, "Rise yourself, and fall upon us; for as the man is, so is his strength." And Gideon arose and slew Zebah and Zalmun'na; and he took the crescents that were on the necks of their camels.

rsv@Judges:8:24 @ And Gideon said to them, "Let me make a request of you; give me every man of you the earrings of his spoil." (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ish'maelites.)

rsv@Judges:8:25 @ And they answered, "We will willingly give them." And they spread a garment, and every man cast in it the earrings of his spoil.

rsv@Judges:8:26 @ And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold; besides the crescents and the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Mid'ian, and besides the collars that were about the necks of their camels.

rsv@Judges:8:27 @ And Gideon made an ephod of it and put it in his city, in Ophrah; and all Israel played the harlot after it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and to his family.

rsv@Judges:8:28 @ So Mid'ian was subdued before the people of Israel, and they lifted up their heads no more. And the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon.

rsv@Judges:8:33 @ As soon as Gideon died, the people of Israel turned again and played the harlot after the Ba'als, and made Ba'al-be'rith their god.

rsv@Judges:9:2 @ "Say in the ears of all the citizens of Shechem, `Which is better for you, that all seventy of the sons of Jerubba'al rule over you, or that one rule over you?' Remember also that I am your bone and your flesh."

rsv@Judges:9:6 @ And all the citizens of Shechem came together, and all Beth-millo, and they went and made Abim'elech king, by the oak of the pillar at Shechem.

rsv@Judges:9:9 @ But the olive tree said to them, `Shall I leave my fatness, by which gods and men are honored, and go to sway over the trees?'

rsv@Judges:9:15 @ And the bramble said to the trees, `If in good faith you are anointing me king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade; but if not, let fire come out of the bramble and devour the cedars of Lebanon.'

rsv@Judges:9:22 @ Abim'elech ruled over Israel three years.

rsv@Judges:9:27 @ And they went out into the field, and gathered the grapes from their vineyards and trod them, and held festival, and went into the house of their god, and ate and drank and reviled Abim'elech.

rsv@Judges:9:28 @ And Ga'al the son of Ebed said, "Who is Abim'elech, and who are we of Shechem, that we should serve him? Did not the son of Jerubba'al and Zebul his officer serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem? Why then should we serve him?

rsv@Judges:9:29 @ Would that this people were under my hand! then I would remove Abim'elech. I would say to Abim'elech, `Increase your army, and come out.'"

rsv@Judges:9:30 @ When Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Ga'al the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.

rsv@Judges:9:31 @ And he sent messengers to Abim'elech at Aru'mah, saying, "Behold, Ga'al the son of Ebed and his kinsmen have come to Shechem, and they are stirring up the city against you.

rsv@Judges:9:52 @ And Abim'elech came to the tower, and fought against it, and drew near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire.

rsv@Judges:9:54 @ Then he called hastily to the young man his armor-bearer, and said to him, "Draw your sword and kill me, lest men say of me, `A woman killed him.'" And his young man thrust him through, and he died.

rsv@Judges:19:6 @ So the two men sat and ate and drank together; and the girl's father said to the man, "Be pleased to spend the night, and let your heart be merry."

rsv@Judges:19:8 @ And on the fifth day he arose early in the morning to depart; and the girl's father said, "Strengthen your heart, and tarry until the day declines." So they ate, both of them.

rsv@Judges:19:9 @ And when the man and his concubine and his servant rose up to depart, his father-in-law, the girl's father, said to him, "Behold, now the day has waned toward evening; pray tarry all night.

rsv@Judges:19:10 @ But the man would not spend the night; he rose up and departed, and arrived opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). He had with him a couple of saddled asses, and his concubine was with him.

rsv@Judges:19:11 @ When they were near Jebus, the day was far spent, and the servant said to his master, "Come now, let us turn aside to this city of the Jeb'usites, and spend the night in it."

rsv@Judges:19:13 @ And he said to his servant, "Come and let us draw near to one of these places, and spend the night at Gib'e-ah or at Ramah."

rsv@Judges:19:14 @ So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down on them near Gib'e-ah, which belongs to Benjamin,

rsv@Judges:19:15 @ and they turned aside there, to go in and spend the night at Gib'e-ah. And he went in and sat down in the open square of the city; for no man took them into his house to spend the night.

rsv@Judges:19:18 @ And he said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah to the remote parts of the hill country of E'phraim, from which I come. I went to Bethlehem in Judah; and I am going to my home; and nobody takes me into his house.

rsv@Judges:20:24 @ So the people of Israel came near against the Benjaminites the second day.

rsv@Judges:20:26 @ Then all the people of Israel, the whole army, went up and came to Bethel and wept; they sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until evening, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

rsv@Judges:20:39 @ the men of Israel should turn in battle. Now Benjamin had begun to smite and kill about thirty men of Israel; they said, "Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle."

rsv@Judges:20:43 @ Cutting down the Benjaminites, they pursued them and trod them down from Nohah as far as opposite Gib'e-ah on the east.

rsv@Judges:20:45 @ And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon; five thousand men of them were cut down in the highways, and they were pursued hard to Gidom, and two thousand men of them were slain.

rsv@Judges:20:47 @ But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and abode at the rock of Rimmon four months.

rsv@Judges:21:1 @ Now the men of Israel had sworn at Mizpah, "No one of us shall give his daughter in marriage to Benjamin."

rsv@Judges:21:21 @ and watch; if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come out of the vineyards and seize each man his wife from the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.

rsv@Judges:21:23 @ And the Benjaminites did so, and took their wives, according to their number, from the dancers whom they carried off; then they went and returned to their inheritance, and rebuilt the towns, and dwelt in them.

rsv@Judges:21:24 @ And the people of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and family, and they went out from there every man to his inheritance.

rsv@Ruth:1:4 @ These took Moabite wives; the name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth. They lived there about ten years;

rsv@Ruth:2:5 @ Then Bo'az said to his servant who was in charge of the reapers, "Whose maiden is this?"

rsv@Ruth:2:6 @ And the servant who was in charge of the reapers answered, "It is the Moabite maiden, who came back with Na'omi from the country of Moab.

rsv@Ruth:2:7 @ She said, `Pray, let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the reapers.' So she came, and she has continued from early morning until now, without resting even for a moment."

rsv@Ruth:2:9 @ Let your eyes be upon the field which they are reaping, and go after them. Have I not charged the young men not to molest you? And when you are thirsty, go to the vessels and drink what the young men have drawn."

rsv@Ruth:2:12 @ The LORD recompense you for what you have done, and a full reward be given you by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge!"

rsv@Ruth:2:13 @ Then she said, "You are most gracious to me, my lord, for you have comforted me and spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not one of your maidservants."

rsv@Ruth:2:14 @ And at mealtime Bo'az said to her, "Come here, and eat some bread, and dip your morsel in the wine." So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed to her parched grain; and she ate until she was satisfied, and she had some left over.

rsv@Ruth:2:17 @ So she gleaned in the field until evening; then she beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.

rsv@Ruth:2:20 @ And Na'omi said to her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be he by the LORD, whose kindness has not forsaken the living or the dead!" Na'omi also said to her, "The man is a relative of ours, one of our nearest kin."

rsv@Ruth:2:21 @ And Ruth the Moabitess said, "Besides, he said to me, `You shall keep close by my servants, till they have finished all my harvest.'"

rsv@Ruth:2:23 @ So she kept close to the maidens of Bo'az, gleaning until the end of the barley and wheat harvests; and she lived with her mother-in-law.

rsv@Ruth:3:2 @ Now is not Bo'az our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? See, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.

rsv@Ruth:3:7 @ And when Bo'az had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and lay down.

rsv@Ruth:3:8 @ At midnight the man was startled, and turned over, and behold, a woman lay at his feet!

rsv@Ruth:3:9 @ He said, "Who are you?" And she answered, "I am Ruth, your maidservant; spread your skirt over your maidservant, for you are next of kin."

rsv@Ruth:3:11 @ And now, my daughter, do not fear, I will do for you all that you ask, for all my fellow townsmen know that you are a woman of worth.

rsv@Ruth:3:12 @ And now it is true that I am a near kinsman, yet there is a kinsman nearer than I.

rsv@Ruth:3:13 @ Remain this night, and in the morning, if he will do the part of the next of kin for you, well; let him do it; but if he is not willing to do the part of the next of kin for you, then, as the LORD lives, I will do the part of the next of kin for you. Lie down until the morning."

rsv@Ruth:3:14 @ So she lay at his feet until the morning, but arose before one could recognize another; and he said, "Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."

rsv@Ruth:3:15 @ And he said, "Bring the mantle you are wearing and hold it out." So she held it, and he measured out six measures of barley, and laid it upon her; then she went into the city.

rsv@Ruth:4:5 @ Then Bo'az said, "The day you buy the field from the hand of Na'omi, you are also buying Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of the dead, in order to restore the name of the dead to his inheritance."

rsv@Ruth:4:9 @ Then Bo'az said to the elders and all the people, "You are witnesses this day that I have bought from the hand of Na'omi all that belonged to Elim'elech and all that belonged to Chil'ion and to Mahlon.

rsv@Ruth:4:10 @ Also Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, I have bought to be my wife, to perpetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brethren and from the gate of his native place; you are witnesses this day."

rsv@Ruth:4:12 @ and may your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the children that the LORD will give you by this young woman."

rsv@Ruth:4:18 @ Now these are the descendants of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron,

rsv@1Samuel:1:3 @ Now this man used to go up year by year from his city to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts at Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phin'ehas, were priests of the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:1:7 @ So it went on year by year; as often as she went up to the house of the LORD, she used to provoke her. Therefore Hannah wept and would not eat.

rsv@1Samuel:1:8 @ And Elka'nah, her husband, said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart sad? Am I not more to you than ten sons?"

rsv@1Samuel:1:13 @ Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice was not heard; therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman.

rsv@1Samuel:1:16 @ Do not regard your maidservant as a base woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation."

rsv@1Samuel:1:19 @ They rose early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD; then they went back to their house at Ramah. And Elka'nah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her;

rsv@1Samuel:1:21 @ And the man Elka'nah and all his house went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and to pay his vow.

rsv@1Samuel:1:22 @ But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, "As soon as the child is weaned, I will bring him, that he may appear in the presence of the LORD, and abide there for ever."

rsv@1Samuel:1:24 @ And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine; and she brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh; and the child was young.

rsv@1Samuel:2:1 @ Hannah also prayed and said, "My heart exults in the LORD; my strength is exalted in the LORD. My mouth derides my enemies, because I rejoice in thy salvation.

rsv@1Samuel:2:3 @ Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your mouth; for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

rsv@1Samuel:2:4 @ The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble gird on strength.

rsv@1Samuel:2:5 @ Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. The barren has borne seven, but she who has many children is forlorn.

rsv@1Samuel:2:12 @ Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they had no regard for the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:2:19 @ And his mother used to make for him a little robe and take it to him each year, when she went up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

rsv@1Samuel:2:22 @ Now Eli was very old, and he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

rsv@1Samuel:2:23 @ And he said to them, "Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all the people.

rsv@1Samuel:2:24 @ No, my sons; it is no good report that I hear the people of the LORD spreading abroad.

rsv@1Samuel:2:27 @ And there came a man of God to Eli, and said to him, "Thus the LORD has said, `I revealed myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt subject to the house of Pharaoh.

rsv@1Samuel:2:28 @ And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me; and I gave to the house of your father all my offerings by fire from the people of Israel.

rsv@1Samuel:2:29 @ Why then look with greedy eye at my sacrifices and my offerings which I commanded, and honor your sons above me by fattening yourselves upon the choicest parts of every offering of my people Israel?'

rsv@1Samuel:2:30 @ Therefore the LORD the God of Israel declares: `I promised that your house and the house of your father should go in and out before me for ever'; but now the LORD declares: `Far be it from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

rsv@1Samuel:2:31 @ Behold, the days are coming, when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father's house, so that there will not be an old man in your house.

rsv@1Samuel:18:5 @ And David went out and was successful wherever Saul sent him; so that Saul set him over the men of war. And this was good in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

rsv@1Samuel:18:10 @ And on the morrow an evil spirit from God rushed upon Saul, and he raved within his house, while David was playing the lyre, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;

rsv@1Samuel:18:11 @ and Saul cast the spear, for he thought, "I will pin David to the wall." But David evaded him twice.

rsv@1Samuel:18:12 @ Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him but had departed from Saul.

rsv@1Samuel:18:18 @ And David said to Saul, "Who am I, and who are my kinsfolk, my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?"

rsv@1Samuel:18:21 @ Saul thought, "Let me give her to him, that she may be a snare for him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David a second time, "You shall now be my son-in-law."

rsv@1Samuel:18:23 @ And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, "Does it seem to you a little thing to become the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man and of no repute?"

rsv@1Samuel:18:25 @ Then Saul said, "Thus shall you say to David, `The king desires no marriage present except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, that he may be avenged of the king's enemies.'" Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

rsv@1Samuel:18:27 @ David arose and went, along with his men, and killed two hundred of the Philistines; and David brought their foreskins, which were given in full number to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for a wife.

rsv@1Samuel:20:36 @ And he said to his lad, "Run and find the arrows which I shoot." As the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

rsv@1Samuel:20:37 @ And when the lad came to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the lad and said, "Is not the arrow beyond you?"

rsv@1Samuel:21:1 @ Then came David to Nob to Ahim'elech the priest; and Ahim'elech came to meet David trembling, and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no one with you?"

rsv@1Samuel:21:2 @ And David said to Ahim'elech the priest, "The king has charged me with a matter, and said to me, `Let no one know anything of the matter about which I send you, and with which I have charged you.' I have made an appointment with the young men for such and such a place.

rsv@1Samuel:21:5 @ And David answered the priest, "Of a truth women have been kept from us as always when I go on an expedition; the vessels of the young men are holy, even when it is a common journey; how much more today will their vessels be holy?"

rsv@1Samuel:21:12 @ And David took these words to heart, and was much afraid of A'chish the king of Gath.

rsv@1Samuel:21:13 @ So he changed his behavior before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and made marks on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle run down his beard.

rsv@1Samuel:22:1 @ David departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam; and when his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.

rsv@1Samuel:22:5 @ Then the prophet Gad said to David, "Do not remain in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah." So David departed, and went into the forest of Hereth.

rsv@1Samuel:22:6 @ Now Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men who were with him. Saul was sitting at Gib'e-ah, under the tamarisk tree on the height, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.

rsv@1Samuel:22:7 @ And Saul said to his servants who stood about him, "Hear now, you Benjaminites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds,

rsv@1Samuel:22:20 @ But one of the sons of Ahim'elech the son of Ahi'tub, named Abi'athar, escaped and fled after David.

rsv@1Samuel:22:21 @ And Abi'athar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:22:22 @ And David said to Abi'athar, "I knew on that day, when Do'eg the E'domite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have occasioned the death of all the persons of your father's house.

rsv@1Samuel:23:1 @ Now they told David, "Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Kei'lah, and are robbing the threshing floors."

rsv@1Samuel:23:3 @ But David's men said to him, "Behold, we are afraid here in Judah; how much more then if we go to Kei'lah against the armies of the Philistines?"

rsv@1Samuel:23:4 @ Then David inquired of the LORD again. And the LORD answered him, "Arise, go down to Kei'lah; for I will give the Philistines into your hand."

rsv@1Samuel:23:6 @ When Abi'athar the son of Ahim'elech fled to David to Kei'lah, he came down with an ephod in his hand.

rsv@1Samuel:23:7 @ Now it was told Saul that David had come to Kei'lah. And Saul said, "God has given him into my hand; for he has shut himself in by entering a town that has gates and bars."

rsv@1Samuel:23:8 @ And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Kei'lah, to besiege David and his men.

rsv@1Samuel:23:9 @ David knew that Saul was plotting evil against him; and he said to Abi'athar the priest, "Bring the ephod here."

rsv@1Samuel:23:10 @ Then said David, "O LORD, the God of Israel, thy servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Kei'lah, to destroy the city on my account.

rsv@1Samuel:23:11 @ Will the men of Kei'lah surrender me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as thy servant has heard? O LORD, the God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant." And the LORD said, "He will come down."

rsv@1Samuel:23:13 @ Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed from Kei'lah, and they went wherever they could go. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Kei'lah, he gave up the expedition.

rsv@1Samuel:23:17 @ And he said to him, "Fear not; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you; you shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you; Saul my father also knows this."

rsv@1Samuel:23:23 @ See therefore, and take note of all the lurking places where he hides, and come back to me with sure information. Then I will go with you; and if he is in the land, I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah."

rsv@1Samuel:23:24 @ And they arose, and went to Ziph ahead of Saul. Now David and his men were in the wilderness of Ma'on, in the Arabah to the south of Jeshi'mon.

rsv@1Samuel:23:25 @ And Saul and his men went to seek him. And David was told; therefore he went down to the rock which is in the wilderness of Ma'on. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Ma'on.

rsv@1Samuel:24:3 @ And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were sitting in the innermost parts of the cave.

rsv@1Samuel:24:4 @ And the men of David said to him, "Here is the day of which the LORD said to you, `Behold, I will give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.'" Then David arose and stealthily cut off the skirt of Saul's robe.

rsv@1Samuel:24:5 @ And afterward David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.

rsv@1Samuel:24:8 @ Afterward David also arose, and went out of the cave, and called after Saul, "My lord the king!" And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and did obeisance.

rsv@1Samuel:24:10 @ Lo, this day your eyes have seen how the LORD gave you today into my hand in the cave; and some bade me kill you, but I spared you. I said, `I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD'S anointed.'

rsv@1Samuel:24:17 @ He said to David, "You are more righteous than I; for you have repaid me good, whereas I have repaid you evil.

rsv@1Samuel:24:18 @ And you have declared this day how you have dealt well with me, in that you did not kill me when the LORD put me into your hands.

rsv@1Samuel:24:19 @ For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away safe? So may the LORD reward you with good for what you have done to me this day.

rsv@1Samuel:24:21 @ Swear to me therefore by the LORD that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father's house."

rsv@1Samuel:25:1 @ Now Samuel died; and all Israel assembled and mourned for him, and they buried him in his house at Ramah. Then David rose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

rsv@1Samuel:25:2 @ And there was a man in Ma'on, whose business was in Carmel. The man was very rich; he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. He was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

rsv@1Samuel:25:4 @ David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

rsv@1Samuel:25:5 @ So David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, "Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.

rsv@1Samuel:25:7 @ I hear that you have shearers; now your shepherds have been with us, and we did them no harm, and they missed nothing, all the time they were in Carmel.

rsv@1Samuel:25:10 @ And Nabal answered David's servants, "Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants nowadays who are breaking away from their masters.

rsv@1Samuel:25:11 @ Shall I take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who come from I do not know where?"

rsv@1Samuel:25:15 @ Yet the men were very good to us, and we suffered no harm, and we did not miss anything when we were in the fields, as long as we went with them;

rsv@1Samuel:25:18 @ Then Ab'igail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two skins of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.

rsv@1Samuel:25:20 @ And as she rode on the ass, and came down under cover of the mountain, behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.

rsv@1Samuel:25:21 @ Now David had said, "Surely in vain have I guarded all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him; and he has returned me evil for good.

rsv@1Samuel:25:24 @ She fell at his feet and said, "Upon me alone, my lord, be the guilt; pray let your handmaid speak in your ears, and hear the words of your handmaid.

rsv@1Samuel:25:25 @ Let not my lord regard this ill-natured fellow, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I your handmaid did not see the young men of my lord, whom you sent.

rsv@1Samuel:25:29 @ If men rise up to pursue you and to seek your life, the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living in the care of the LORD your God; and the lives of your enemies he shall sling out as from the hollow of a sling.

rsv@1Samuel:25:35 @ Then David received from her hand what she had brought him; and he said to her, "Go up in peace to your house; see, I have hearkened to your voice, and I have granted your petition."

rsv@1Samuel:25:36 @ And Ab'igail came to Nabal; and, lo, 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; so she told him nothing at all until the morning light.

rsv@1Samuel:25:37 @ And in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

rsv@1Samuel:25:39 @ When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed be the LORD who has avenged the insult I received at the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil; the LORD has returned the evil-doing of Nabal upon his own head."

rsv@1Samuel:25:40 @ And when the servants of David came to Ab'igail at Carmel, they said to her, "David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife."

rsv@1Samuel:26:2 @ So Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, with three thousand chosen men of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

rsv@1Samuel:26:4 @ David sent out spies, and learned of a certainty that Saul had come.

rsv@1Samuel:26:5 @ Then David rose and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army; Saul was lying within the encampment, while the army was encamped around him.

rsv@1Samuel:26:7 @ So David and Abi'shai went to the army by night; and there lay Saul sleeping within the encampment, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the army lay around him.

rsv@1Samuel:26:8 @ Then said Abi'shai to David, "God has given your enemy into your hand this day; now therefore let me pin him to the earth with one stroke of the spear, and I will not strike him twice."

rsv@1Samuel:26:11 @ The LORD forbid that I should put forth my hand against the LORD'S anointed; but take now the spear that is at his head, and the jar of water, and let us go."

rsv@1Samuel:26:12 @ So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul's head; and they went away. No man saw it, or knew it, nor did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen upon them.

rsv@1Samuel:26:13 @ Then David went over to the other side, and stood afar off on the top of the mountain, with a great space between them;

rsv@1Samuel:26:14 @ and David called to the army, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, "Will you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner answered, "Who are you that calls to the king?"

rsv@1Samuel:26:15 @ And David said to Abner, "Are you not a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.

rsv@1Samuel:26:16 @ This thing that you have done is not good. As the LORD lives, you deserve to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD'S anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the jar of water that was at his head."

rsv@1Samuel:26:19 @ Now therefore let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is the LORD who has stirred you up against me, may he accept an offering; but if it is men, may they be cursed before the LORD, for they have driven me out this day that I should have no share in the heritage of the LORD, saying, `Go, serve other gods.'

rsv@1Samuel:26:20 @ Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD; for the king of Israel has come out to seek my life, like one who hunts a partridge in the mountains."

rsv@1Samuel:26:21 @ Then Saul said, "I have done wrong; return, my son David, for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes this day; behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly."

rsv@1Samuel:27:8 @ Now David and his men went up, and made raids upon the Gesh'urites, the Gir'zites, and the Amal'ekites; for these were the inhabitants of the land from of old, as far as Shur, to the land of Egypt.

rsv@1Samuel:27:9 @ And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, but took away the sheep, the oxen, the asses, the camels, and the garments, and came back to A'chish.

rsv@1Samuel:28:1 @ In those days the Philistines gathered their forces for war, to fight against Israel. And A'chish said to David, "Understand that you and your men are to go out with me in the army."

rsv@1Samuel:28:2 @ David said to A'chish, "Very well, you shall know what your servant can do." And A'chish said to David, "Very well, I will make you my bodyguard for life."

rsv@1Samuel:28:3 @ Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had put the mediums and the wizards out of the land.

rsv@1Samuel:28:5 @ When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.

rsv@1Samuel:28:8 @ So Saul disguised himself and put on other garments, and went, he and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, "Divine for me by a spirit, and bring up for me whomever I shall name to you."

rsv@1Samuel:28:9 @ The woman said to him, "Surely you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the wizards from the land. Why then are you laying a snare for my life to bring about my death?"

rsv@1Samuel:28:14 @ He said to her, "What is his appearance?" And she said, "An old man is coming up; and he is wrapped in a robe." And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and did obeisance.

rsv@1Samuel:28:15 @ Then Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" Saul answered, "I am in great distress; for the Philistines are warring against me, and God has turned away from me and answers me no more, either by prophets or by dreams; therefore I have summoned you to tell me what I shall do."

rsv@1Samuel:28:18 @ Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD, and did not carry out his fierce wrath against Am'alek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you this day.

rsv@1Samuel:28:19 @ Moreover the LORD will give Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons shall be with me; the LORD will give the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines."

rsv@1Samuel:28:20 @ Then Saul fell at once full length upon the ground, filled with fear because of the words of Samuel; and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten nothing all day and all night.

rsv@1Samuel:28:21 @ And the woman came to Saul, and when she saw that he was terrified, she said to him, "Behold, your handmaid has hearkened to you; I have taken my life in my hand, and have hearkened to what you have said to me.

rsv@2Samuel:13:38 @ So Ab'salom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

rsv@2Samuel:14:1 @ Now Jo'ab the son of Zeru'iah perceived that the king's heart went out to Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:14:2 @ And Jo'ab sent to Teko'a, and fetched from there a wise woman, and said to her, "Pretend to be a mourner, and put on mourning garments; do not anoint yourself with oil, but behave like a woman who has been mourning many days for the dead;

rsv@2Samuel:14:6 @ And your handmaid had two sons, and they quarreled with one another in the field; there was no one to part them, and one struck the other and killed him.

rsv@2Samuel:14:7 @ And now the whole family has risen against your handmaid, and they say, `Give up the man who struck his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he slew'; and so they would destroy the heir also.

rsv@2Samuel:14:14 @ We must all die, we are like water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; but God will not take away the life of him who devises means not to keep his banished one an outcast.

rsv@2Samuel:14:20 @ In order to change the course of affairs your servant Jo'ab did this. But my lord has wisdom like the wisdom of the angel of God to know all things that are on the earth."

rsv@2Samuel:14:24 @ And the king said, "Let him dwell apart in his own house; he is not to come into my presence." So Ab'salom dwelt apart in his own house, and did not come into the king's presence.

rsv@2Samuel:14:27 @ There were born to Ab'salom three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar; she was a beautiful woman.

rsv@2Samuel:14:28 @ So Ab'salom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, without coming into the king's presence.

rsv@2Samuel:14:30 @ Then he said to his servants, "See, Jo'ab's field is next to mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire." So Ab'salom's servants set the field on fire.

rsv@2Samuel:14:31 @ Then Jo'ab arose and went to Ab'salom at his house, and said to him, "Why have your servants set my field on fire?"

rsv@2Samuel:15:1 @ After this Ab'salom got himself a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

rsv@2Samuel:15:2 @ And Ab'salom used to rise early and stand beside the way of the gate; and when any man had a suit to come before the king for judgment, Ab'salom would call to him, and say, "From what city are you?" And when he said, "Your servant is of such and such a tribe in Israel,"

rsv@2Samuel:15:3 @ Ab'salom would say to him, "See, your claims are good and right; but there is no man deputed by the king to hear you."

rsv@2Samuel:15:5 @ And whenever a man came near to do obeisance to him, he would put out his hand, and take hold of him, and kiss him.

rsv@2Samuel:15:6 @ Thus Ab'salom did to all of Israel who came to the king for judgment; so Ab'salom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

rsv@2Samuel:15:7 @ And at the end of four years Ab'salom said to the king, "Pray let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.

rsv@2Samuel:15:8 @ For your servant vowed a vow while I dwelt at Geshur in Aram, saying, `If the LORD will indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will offer worship to the LORD.'"

rsv@2Samuel:15:9 @ The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he arose, and went to Hebron.

rsv@2Samuel:15:10 @ But Ab'salom sent secret messengers throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then say, `Ab'salom is king at Hebron!'"

rsv@2Samuel:15:15 @ And the king's servants said to the king, "Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king decides."

rsv@2Samuel:15:19 @ Then the king said to It'tai the Gittite, "Why do you also go with us? Go back, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner, and also an exile from your home.

rsv@2Samuel:15:23 @ And all the country wept aloud as all the people passed by, and the king crossed the brook Kidron, and all the people passed on toward the wilderness.

rsv@2Samuel:15:24 @ And Abi'athar came up, and lo, Zadok came also, with all the Levites, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God, until the people had all passed out of the city.

rsv@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 let me see both it and his habitation;

rsv@2Samuel:15:30 @ But David went up the ascent of the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went, barefoot and with his head covered; and all the people who were with him covered their heads, and they went up, weeping as they went.

rsv@2Samuel:16:1 @ When David had passed a little beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephib'osheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, bearing two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred of summer fruits, and a skin of wine.

rsv@2Samuel:16:2 @ And the king said to Ziba, "Why have you brought these?" Ziba answered, "The asses 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 faint in the wilderness to drink."

rsv@2Samuel:16:8 @ The LORD has avenged upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the LORD has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Ab'salom. See, your ruin is on you; for you are a man of blood."

rsv@2Samuel:16:16 @ And when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Ab'salom, Hushai said to Ab'salom, "Long live the king! Long live the king!"

rsv@2Samuel:16:21 @ Ahith'ophel said to Ab'salom, "Go in to your father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that you have made yourself odious to your father, and the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened."

rsv@2Samuel:17:2 @ I will come upon him while he is weary and discouraged, and throw him into a panic; and all the people who are with him will flee. I will strike down the king only,

rsv@2Samuel:17:8 @ Hushai said moreover, "You know that your father and his men are mighty men, and that they are enraged, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. Besides, your father is expert in war; he will not spend the night with the people.

rsv@2Samuel:17:10 @ Then even the valiant man, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will utterly melt with fear; for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and that those who are with him are valiant men.

rsv@2Samuel:17:14 @ And Ab'salom and all the men of Israel said, "The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahith'ophel." For the LORD had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahith'ophel, so that the LORD might bring evil upon Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:17:15 @ Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abi'athar the priests, "Thus and so did Ahith'ophel counsel Ab'salom and the elders of Israel; and thus and so have I counseled.

rsv@2Samuel:17:18 @ But a lad saw them, and told Ab'salom; so both of them went away quickly, and came to the house of a man at Bahu'rim, who had a well in his courtyard; and they went down into it.

rsv@2Samuel:17:20 @ When Ab'salom's servants came to the woman at the house, they said, "Where are Ahim'a-az and Jonathan?" And the woman said to them, "They have gone over the brook of water." And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.

rsv@2Samuel:17:21 @ After they had gone, the men came up out of the well, and went and told King David. They said to David, "Arise, and go quickly over the water; for thus and so has Ahith'ophel counseled against you."

rsv@2Samuel:17:22 @ Then David arose, and all the people who were with him, and they crossed the Jordan; by daybreak not one was left who had not crossed the Jordan.

rsv@2Samuel:17:25 @ Now Ab'salom had set Ama'sa over the army instead of Jo'ab. Ama'sa was the son of a man named Ithra the Ish'maelite, who had married Ab'igal the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeru'iah, Jo'ab's mother.

rsv@2Samuel:17:27 @ When David came to Mahana'im, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites, and Machir the son of Am'miel from Lo-debar, and Barzil'lai the Gileadite from Ro'gelim,

rsv@2Samuel:18:2 @ And David sent forth the army, one third under the command of Jo'ab, one third under the command of Abi'shai the son of Zeru'iah, Jo'ab's brother, and one third under the command of It'tai the Gittite. And the king said to the men, "I myself will also go out with you."

rsv@2Samuel:18:3 @ But the men said, "You shall not go out. For if we flee, they will not care about us. If half of us die, they will not care about us. But you are worth ten thousand of us; therefore it is better that you send us help from the city."

rsv@2Samuel:18:4 @ The king said to them, "Whatever seems best to you I will do." So the king stood at the side of the gate, while all the army marched out by hundreds and by thousands.

rsv@2Samuel:18:5 @ And the king ordered Jo'ab and Abi'shai and It'tai, "Deal gently for my sake with the young man Ab'salom." And all the people heard when the king gave orders to all the commanders about Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:18:6 @ So the army went out into the field against Israel; and the battle was fought in the forest of E'phraim.

rsv@2Samuel:18:9 @ And Ab'salom chanced to meet the servants of David. Ab'salom was riding upon his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak, and his head caught fast in the oak, and he was left hanging between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him went on.

rsv@2Samuel:18:12 @ But the man said to Jo'ab, "Even if I felt in my hand the weight of a thousand pieces of silver, I would not put forth my hand against the king's son; for in our hearing the king commanded you and Abi'shai and It'tai, `For my sake protect the young man Ab'salom.'

rsv@2Samuel:18:14 @ Jo'ab said, "I will not waste time like this with you." And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them into the heart of Ab'salom, while he was still alive in the oak.

rsv@2Samuel:18:15 @ And ten young men, Jo'ab's armor-bearers, surrounded Ab'salom and struck him, and killed him.

rsv@2Samuel:18:18 @ Now Ab'salom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself the pillar which is in the King's Valley, for he said, "I have no son to keep my name in remembrance"; he called the pillar after his own name, and it is called Ab'salom's monument to this day.

rsv@2Samuel:18:19 @ Then said Ahi'ma-az the son of Zadok, "Let me run, and carry tidings to the king that the LORD has delivered him from the power of his enemies."

rsv@2Samuel:18:20 @ And Jo'ab said to him, "You are not to carry tidings today; you may carry tidings another day, but today you shall carry no tidings, because the king's son is dead."

rsv@2Samuel:18:22 @ Then Ahi'ma-az the son of Zadok said again to Jo'ab, "Come what may, let me also run after the Cushite." And Jo'ab said, "Why will you run, my son, seeing that you will have no reward for the tidings?"

rsv@2Samuel:18:25 @ And the watchman called out and told the king. And the king said, "If he is alone, there are tidings in his mouth." And he came apace, and drew near.

rsv@2Samuel:18:28 @ Then Ahi'ma-az cried out to the king, "All is well." And he bowed before the king with his face to the earth, and said, "Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who raised their hand against my lord the king."

rsv@2Samuel:19:2 @ So the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the people; for the people heard that day, "The king is grieving for his son."

rsv@2Samuel:19:3 @ And the people stole into the city that day as people steal in who are ashamed when they flee in battle.

rsv@2Samuel:19:6 @ because you love those who hate you and hate those who love you. For you have made it clear today that commanders and servants are nothing to you; for today I perceive that if Ab'salom were alive and all of us were dead today, then you would be pleased.

rsv@2Samuel:19:7 @ Now therefore arise, go out and speak kindly to your servants; for I swear by the LORD, if you do not go, not a man will stay with you this night; and this will be worse for you than all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now."

rsv@2Samuel:19:8 @ Then the king arose, and took his seat in the gate. And the people were all told, "Behold, the king is sitting in the gate"; and all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his own home.

rsv@2Samuel:19:11 @ And King David sent this message to Zadok and Abi'athar the priests, "Say to the elders of Judah, `Why should you be the last to bring the king back to his house, when the word of all Israel has come to the king?

rsv@2Samuel:19:24 @ And Mephib'osheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; he had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came back in safety.

rsv@2Samuel:19:31 @ Now Barzil'lai the Gileadite had come down from Ro'gelim; and he went on with the king to the Jordan, to escort him over the Jordan.

rsv@2Samuel:19:32 @ Barzil'lai was a very aged man, eighty years old; and he had provided the king with food while he stayed at Mahana'im; for he was a very wealthy man.

rsv@2Samuel:19:33 @ And the king said to Barzil'lai, "Come over with me, and I will provide for you with me in Jerusalem."

rsv@2Samuel:19:35 @ I am this day eighty years old; can I discern what is pleasant and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or what he drinks? Can I still listen to the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?

rsv@2Kings:2:12 @ And Eli'sha saw it and he cried, "My father, my father! the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!" And he saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and rent them in two pieces.

rsv@2Kings:2:14 @ Then he took the mantle of Eli'jah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, saying, "Where is the LORD, the God of Eli'jah?" And when he had struck the water, the water was parted to the one side and to the other; and Eli'sha went over.

rsv@2Kings:2:16 @ And they said to him, "Behold now, there are with your servants fifty strong men; pray, let them go, and seek your master; it may be that the Spirit of the LORD has caught him up and cast him upon some mountain or into some valley." And he said, "You shall not send."

rsv@2Kings:2:18 @ And they came back to him, while he tarried at Jericho, and he said to them, "Did I not say to you, Do not go?"

rsv@2Kings:2:21 @ Then he went to the spring of water and threw salt in it, and said, "Thus says the LORD, I have made this water wholesome; henceforth neither death nor miscarriage shall come from it."

rsv@2Kings:2:24 @ And he turned around, and when he saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys.

rsv@2Kings:2:25 @ From there he went on to Mount Carmel, and thence he returned to Sama'ria.

rsv@2Kings:3:1 @ In the eighteenth year of Jehosh'aphat king of Judah, Jeho'ram the son of Ahab became king over Israel in Sama'ria, and he reigned twelve years.

rsv@2Kings:3:2 @ He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, though not like his father and mother, for he put away the pillar of Ba'al which his father had made.

rsv@2Kings:3:3 @ Nevertheless he clung to the sin of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, which he made Israel to sin; he did not depart from it.

rsv@2Kings:3:6 @ So King Jeho'ram marched out of Sama'ria at that time and mustered all Israel.

rsv@2Kings:3:7 @ And he went and sent word to Jehosh'aphat king of Judah, "The king of Moab has rebelled against me; will you go with me to battle against Moab?" And he said, "I will go; I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."

rsv@2Kings:3:8 @ Then he said, "By which way shall we march?" Jeho'ram answered, "By the way of the wilderness of Edom."

rsv@2Kings:3:9 @ So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom. And when they had made a circuitous march of seven days, there was no water for the army or for the beasts which followed them.

rsv@2Kings:3:14 @ And Eli'sha said, "As the LORD of hosts lives, whom I serve, were it not that I have regard for Jehosh'aphat the king of Judah, I would neither look at you, nor see you.

rsv@2Kings:3:21 @ When all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, all who were able to put on armor, from the youngest to the oldest, were called out, and were drawn up at the frontier.

rsv@2Kings:3:22 @ And when they rose early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, the Moabites saw the water opposite them as red as blood.

rsv@2Kings:3:24 @ But when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose and attacked the Moabites, till they fled before them; and they went forward, slaughtering the Moabites as they went.

rsv@2Kings:3:25 @ And they overthrew the cities, and on every good piece of land every man threw a stone, until it was covered; they stopped every spring of water, and felled all the good trees; till only its stones were left in Kir-har'eseth, and the slingers surrounded and conquered it.

rsv@2Kings:4:1 @ Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried to Eli'sha, "Your servant my husband is dead; and you know that your servant feared the LORD, but the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves."

rsv@2Kings:4:2 @ And Eli'sha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me; what have you in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house, except a jar of oil."

rsv@2Kings:4:13 @ And he said to him, "Say now to her, See, you have taken all this trouble for us; what is to be done for you? Would you have a word spoken on your behalf to the king or to the commander of the army?" She answered, "I dwell among my own people."

rsv@2Kings:4:19 @ And he said to his father, "Oh, my head, my head!" The father said to his servant, "Carry him to his mother."

rsv@2Kings:4:25 @ So she set out, and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her coming, he said to Geha'zi his servant, "Look, yonder is the Shu'nammite;

rsv@2Kings:4:41 @ He said, "Then bring meal." And he threw it into the pot, and said, "Pour out for the men, that they may eat." And there was no harm in the pot.

rsv@2Kings:4:42 @ A man came from Ba'al-shal'ishah, bringing the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And Eli'sha said, "Give to the men, that they may eat."

rsv@2Kings:5:1 @ Na'aman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master and in high favor, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria. He was a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.

rsv@2Kings:5:2 @ Now the Syrians on one of their raids had carried off a little maid from the land of Israel, and she waited on Na'aman's wife.

rsv@2Kings:5:5 @ And the king of Syria said, "Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel." So he went, taking with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten festal garments.

rsv@2Kings:5:7 @ And when the king of Israel read the letter, he rent his clothes and said, "Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? Only consider, and see how he is seeking a quarrel with me."

rsv@2Kings:5:8 @ But when Eli'sha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, he sent to the king, saying, "Why have you rent your clothes? Let him come now to me, that he may know that there is a prophet in Israel."

rsv@2Kings:5:9 @ So Na'aman came with his horses and chariots, and halted at the door of Eli'sha's house.

rsv@2Kings:5:12 @ Are not Aba'na and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them, and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage.

rsv@2Kings:5:13 @ But his servants came near and said to him, "My father, if the prophet had commanded you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much rather, then, when he says to you, `Wash, and be clean'?"

rsv@2Kings:5:15 @ Then he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and he came and stood before him; and he said, "Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth but in Israel; so accept now a present from your servant."

rsv@2Kings:5:17 @ Then Na'aman said, "If not, I pray you, let there be given to your servant two mules' burden of earth; for henceforth your servant will not offer burnt offering or sacrifice to any god but the LORD.

rsv@2Kings:5:18 @ In this matter may the LORD pardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, leaning on my arm, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, when I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon your servant in this matter."

rsv@2Kings:5:21 @ So Geha'zi followed Na'aman. And when Na'aman saw some one running after him, he alighted from the chariot to meet him, and said, "Is all well?"

rsv@2Kings:5:22 @ And he said, "All is well. My master has sent me to say, `There have just now come to me from the hill country of E'phraim two young men of the sons of the prophets; pray, give them a talent of silver and two festal garments.'"

rsv@2Kings:5:23 @ And Na'aman said, "Be pleased to accept two talents." And he urged him, and tied up two talents of silver in two bags, with two festal garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they carried them before Geha'zi.

rsv@2Kings:6:17 @ Then Eli'sha prayed, and said, "O LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see." So the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Eli'sha.

rsv@2Kings:6:23 @ So he prepared for them a great feast; and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the Syrians came no more on raids into the land of Israel.

rsv@2Kings:6:24 @ Afterward Ben-ha'dad king of Syria mustered his entire army, and went up, and besieged Sama'ria.

rsv@2Kings:6:25 @ And there was a great famine in Sama'ria, as they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for eighty shekels of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five shekels of silver.

rsv@2Kings:6:30 @ When the king heard the words of the woman he rent his clothes--now he was passing by upon the wall--and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth beneath upon his body--

rsv@2Kings:7:1 @ But Eli'sha said, "Hear the word of the LORD: thus says the LORD, Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine meal shall be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Sama'ria."

rsv@2Kings:7:5 @ So they arose at twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians; but when they came to the edge of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no one there.

rsv@2Kings:7:6 @ For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians hear the sound of chariots, and of horses, the sound of a great army, so that they said to one another, "Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Egypt to come upon us."

rsv@2Kings:7:8 @ And when these lepers came to the edge of the camp, they went into a tent, and ate and drank, and they carried off silver and gold and clothing, and went and hid them; then they came back, and entered another tent, and carried off things from it, and went and hid them.

rsv@2Kings:7:9 @ Then they said to one another, "We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news; if we are silent and wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us; now therefore come, let us go and tell the king's household."

rsv@2Kings:7:15 @ So they went after them as far as the Jordan; and, lo, all the way was littered with garments and equipment which the Syrians had thrown away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.

rsv@2Kings:7:16 @ Then the people went out, and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a measure of fine meal was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.

rsv@2Kings:7:17 @ Now the king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have charge of the gate; and the people trod upon him in the gate, so that he died, as the man of God had said when the king came down to him.

rsv@2Kings:7:18 @ For when the man of God had said to the king, "Two measures of barley shall be sold for a shekel, and a measure of fine meal for a shekel, about this time tomorrow in the gate of Sama'ria,"

rsv@2Kings:8:1 @ Now Eli'sha had said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, "Arise, and depart with your household, and sojourn wherever you can; for the LORD has called for a famine, and it will come upon the land for seven years."

rsv@1Chronicles:18:10 @ he sent his son Hador'am to King David, to greet him, and to congratulate him because he had fought against Hadade'zer and defeated him; for Hadade'zer had often been at war with To'u. And he sent all sorts of articles of gold, of silver, and of bronze;

rsv@2Chronicles:13:9 @ Have you not driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves like the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull or seven rams becomes a priest of what are no gods.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:10 @ But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests ministering to the LORD who are sons of Aaron, and Levites for their service.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:11 @ They offer to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt offerings and incense of sweet spices, set out the showbread on the table of pure gold, and care for the golden lampstand that its lamps may burn every evening; for we keep the charge of the LORD our God, but you have forsaken him.

rsv@2Chronicles:26:6 @ He went out and made war against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath and the wall of Jabneh and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in the territory of Ashdod and elsewhere among the Philistines.

rsv@2Chronicles:26:7 @ God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabs that dwelt in Gurba'al, and against the Me-u'nites.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:2 @ And he said in the presence of his brethren and of the army of Sama'ria, "What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore things? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish up in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, and burned ones at that?"

rsv@Nehemiah:4:3 @ Tobi'ah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, "Yes, what they are building-- if a fox goes up on it he will break down their stone wall!"

rsv@Nehemiah:4:4 @ Hear, O our God, for we are despised; turn back their taunt upon their own heads, and give them up to be plundered in a land where they are captives.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:7 @ But when Sanbal'lat and Tobi'ah and the Arabs and the Ammonites and the Ash'dodites heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem was going forward and that the breaches were beginning to be closed, they were very angry;

rsv@Nehemiah:4:9 @ And we prayed to our God, and set a guard as a protection against them day and night.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:10 @ But Judah said, "The strength of the burden-bearers is failing, and there is much rubbish; we are not able to work on the wall."

rsv@Nehemiah:4:13 @ So in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in open places, I stationed the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:14 @ And I looked, and arose, and said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, "Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes."

rsv@Nehemiah:4:15 @ When our enemies heard that it was known to us and that God had frustrated their plan, we all returned to the wall, each to his work.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:16 @ From that day on, half of my servants worked on construction, and half held the spears, shields, bows, and coats of mail; and the leaders stood behind all the house of Judah,

rsv@Nehemiah:4:17 @ who were building on the wall. Those who carried burdens were laden in such a way that each with one hand labored on the work and with the other held his weapon.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:19 @ And I said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, "The work is great and widely spread, and we are separated on the wall, far from one another.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:20 @ In the place where you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us."

rsv@Nehemiah:4:21 @ So we labored at the work, and half of them held the spears from the break of dawn till the stars came out.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:22 @ I also said to the people at that time, "Let every man and his servant pass the night within Jerusalem, that they may be a guard for us by night and may labor by day."

rsv@Nehemiah:4:23 @ So neither I nor my brethren nor my servants nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us took off our clothes; each kept his weapon in his hand.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:1 @ Now there arose a great outcry of the people and of their wives against their Jewish brethren.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:2 @ For there were those who said, "With our sons and our daughters, we are many; let us get grain, that we may eat and keep alive."

rsv@Nehemiah:5:3 @ There were also those who said, "We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our houses to get grain because of the famine."

rsv@Nehemiah:5:4 @ And there were those who said, "We have borrowed money for the king's tax upon our fields and our vineyards.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:5 @ Now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children are as their children; yet we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have already been enslaved; but it is not in our power to help it, for other men have our fields and our vineyards."

rsv@Nehemiah:5:6 @ I was very angry when I heard their outcry and these words.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:7 @ I took counsel with myself, and I brought charges against the nobles and the officials. I said to them, "You are exacting interest, each from his brother." And I held a great assembly against them,

rsv@Nehemiah:5:8 @ and said to them, "We, as far as we are able, have bought back our Jewish brethren who have been sold to the nations; but you even sell your brethren that they may be sold to us!" They were silent, and could not find a word to say.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:9 @ So I said, "The thing that you are doing is not good. Ought you not to walk in the fear of our God to prevent the taunts of the nations our enemies?

rsv@Nehemiah:5:10 @ Moreover I and my brethren and my servants are lending them money and grain. Let us leave off this interest.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:11 @ Return to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive orchards, and their houses, and the hundredth of money, grain, wine, and oil which you have been exacting of them."

rsv@Nehemiah:5:14 @ Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of Ar-ta-xerx'es the king, twelve years, neither I nor my brethren ate the food allowance of the governor.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:15 @ The former governors who were before me laid heavy burdens upon the people, and took from them food and wine, besides forty shekels of silver. Even their servants lorded it over the people. But I did not do so, because of the fear of God.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:18 @ Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; fowls likewise were prepared for me, and every ten days skins of wine in abundance; yet with all this I did not demand the food allowance of the governor, because the servitude was heavy upon this people.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:1 @ Now when it was reported to Sanbal'lat and Tobi'ah and to Geshem the Arab and to the rest of our enemies that I had built the wall and that there was no breach left in it (although up to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),

rsv@Nehemiah:6:2 @ Sanbal'lat and Geshem sent to me, saying, "Come and let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono." But they intended to do me harm.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:6 @ In it was written, "It is reported among the nations, and Geshem also says it, that you and the Jews intend to rebel; that is why you are building the wall; and you wish to become their king, according to this report.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:8 @ Then I sent to him, saying, "No such things as you say have been done, for you are inventing them out of your own mind."

rsv@Nehemiah:6:10 @ Now when I went into the house of Shemai'ah the son of Delai'ah, son of Mehet'abel, who was shut up, 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, at night they are coming to kill you."

rsv@Nehemiah:6:16 @ And when all our enemies heard of it, all the nations round about us were afraid and fell greatly in their own esteem; for they perceived that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:18 @ For many in Judah were bound by oath to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecani'ah the son of Arah: and his son Jehoha'nan had taken the daughter of Meshul'lam the son of Berechi'ah as his wife.

rsv@Nehemiah:7:2 @ I gave my brother Hana'ni and Hanani'ah the governor of the castle charge over Jerusalem, for he was a more faithful and God-fearing man than many.

rsv@Nehemiah:7:3 @ And I said to them, "Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they are still standing guard let them shut and bar the doors. Appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each to his station and each opposite his own house."

rsv@Nehemiah:8:9 @ And Nehemi'ah, who was the governor, and 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 or weep." For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.

rsv@Nehemiah:8:10 @ Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord; and do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

rsv@Esther:1:6 @ There were white cotton curtains and blue hangings caught up with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and marble pillars, and also couches of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl and precious stones.

rsv@Esther:1:10 @ On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehu'man, Biztha, Harbo'na, Bigtha and Abag'tha, Zethar and Carkas, the seven eunuchs who served King Ahasu-e'rus as chamberlains,

rsv@Esther:2:12 @ Now when the turn came for each maiden to go in to King Ahasu-e'rus, after being twelve months under the regulations for the women, since this was the regular period of their beautifying, six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and ointments for women--

rsv@Esther:2:15 @ When the turn came for Esther the daughter of Ab'ihail the uncle of Mor'decai, who had adopted her as his own daughter, to go in to the king, she asked for nothing except what Hegai the king's eunuch, who had charge of the women, advised. Now Esther found favor in the eyes of all who saw her.

rsv@Esther:2:16 @ And when Esther was taken to King Ahasu-e'rus into his royal palace in the tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign,

rsv@Esther:2:20 @ Now Esther had not made known her kindred or her people, as Mor'decai had charged her; for Esther obeyed Mor'decai just as when she was brought up by him.

rsv@Esther:3:13 @ Letters were sent by couriers to all the king's provinces, to destroy, to slay, and to annihilate all Jews, young and old, women and children, in one day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and to plunder their goods.

rsv@Esther:4:1 @ When Mor'decai learned all that had been done, Mor'decai rent his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, wailing with a loud and bitter cry;

rsv@Esther:4:4 @ When Esther's maids and her eunuchs came and told her, the queen was deeply distressed; she sent garments to clothe Mor'decai, so that he might take off his sackcloth, but he would not accept them.

rsv@Esther:4:5 @ Then Esther called for Hathach, one of the king's eunuchs, who had been appointed to attend her, and ordered him to go to Mor'decai to learn what this was and why it was.

rsv@Esther:4:6 @ Hathach went out to Mor'decai in the open square of the city in front of the king's gate,

rsv@Esther:4:8 @ Mor'decai also gave him a copy of the written decree issued in Susa for their destruction, that he might show it to Esther and explain it to her and charge her to go to the king to make supplication to him and entreat him for her people.

rsv@Esther:4:11 @ "All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that if any man or woman goes to the king inside the inner court without being called, there is but one law; all alike are to be put to death, except the one to whom the king holds out the golden scepter that he may live. And I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days."

rsv@Esther:4:14 @ For if you keep silence at such a time as this, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another quarter, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

rsv@Esther:5:4 @ And Esther said, "If it please the king, let the king and Haman come this day to a dinner that I have prepared for the king."

rsv@Esther:5:5 @ Then said the king, "Bring Haman quickly, that we may do as Esther desires." So the king and Haman came to the dinner that Esther had prepared.

rsv@Esther:5:9 @ And Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart. But when Haman saw Mor'decai in the king's gate, that he neither rose nor trembled before him, he was filled with wrath against Mor'decai.

rsv@Esther:5:12 @ And Haman added, "Even Queen Esther let no one come with the king to the banquet she prepared but myself. And tomorrow also I am invited by her together with the king.

rsv@Esther:6:2 @ And it was found written how Mor'decai had told about Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, who guarded the threshold, and who had sought to lay hands upon King Ahasu-e'rus.

rsv@Esther:6:4 @ And the king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king's palace to speak to the king about having Mor'decai hanged on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

rsv@Esther:6:9 @ and let the robes and the horse be handed over to one of the king's most noble princes; let him array the man whom the king delights to honor, and let him conduct the man on horseback through the open square of the city, proclaiming before him: `Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.'"

rsv@Esther:6:11 @ So Haman took the robes and the horse, and he arrayed Mor'decai and made him ride through the open square of the city, proclaiming, "Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor."

rsv@Esther:6:14 @ While they were yet talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and brought Haman in haste to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

rsv@Esther:7:4 @ For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to be annihilated. If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would have held my peace; for our affliction is not to be compared with the loss to the king."

rsv@Esther:7:7 @ And the king rose from the feast in wrath and went into the palace garden; but Haman stayed to beg his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king.

rsv@Esther:7:8 @ And the king returned from the palace garden to the place where they were drinking wine, as Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was; and the king said, "Will he even assault the queen in my presence, in my own house?" As the words left the mouth of the king, they covered Haman's face.

rsv@Esther:7:9 @ Then said Harbo'na, one of the eunuchs in attendance on the king, "Moreover, the gallows which Haman has prepared for Mor'decai, whose word saved the king, is standing in Haman's house, fifty cubits high."

rsv@Esther:7:10 @ And the king said, "Hang him on that." So they hanged Haman on the gallows which he had prepared for Mor'decai. Then the anger of the king abated.

rsv@Esther:8:3 @ Then Esther spoke again to the king; she fell at his feet and besought him with tears to avert the evil design of Haman the Ag'agite and the plot which he had devised against the Jews.

rsv@Esther:8:5 @ and Esther rose and stood before the king. And she said, "If it please the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and if the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let an order be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman the Ag'agite, the son of Hammeda'tha, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the provinces of the king.

rsv@Esther:8:8 @ And you may write as you please with regard to the Jews, in the name of the king, and seal it with the king's ring; for an edict written in the name of the king and sealed with the king's ring cannot be revoked."

rsv@Esther:8:9 @ The king's secretaries were summoned at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on the twenty-third day; and an edict was written according to all that Mor'decai commanded concerning the Jews to the satraps and the governors and the princes of the provinces from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven provinces, to every province in its own script and to every people in its own language, and also to the Jews in their script and their language.

rsv@Esther:8:11 @ By these the king allowed the Jews who were in every city to gather and defend their lives, to destroy, to slay, and to annihilate any armed force of any people or province that might attack them, with their children and women, and to plunder their goods,

rsv@Esther:8:17 @ And in every province and in every city, wherever the king's command and his edict came, there was gladness and joy among the Jews, a feast and a holiday. And many from the peoples of the country declared themselves Jews, for the fear of the Jews had fallen upon them.

rsv@Esther:9:1 @ Now in the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's command and edict were about to be executed, on the very day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to get the mastery over them, but which had been changed to a day when the Jews should get the mastery over their foes,

rsv@Esther:9:2 @ the Jews gathered in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasu-e'rus to lay hands on such as sought their hurt. And no one could make a stand against them, for the fear of them had fallen upon all peoples.

rsv@Esther:9:3 @ All the princes of the provinces and the satraps and the governors and the royal officials also helped the Jews, for the fear of Mor'decai had fallen upon them.

rsv@Esther:9:7 @ and also slew Par-shan-da'tha and Dalphon and Aspa'tha

rsv@Esther:9:15 @ The Jews who were in Susa gathered also on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar and they slew three hundred men in Susa; but they laid no hands on the plunder.

rsv@Esther:9:17 @ This was on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth day they rested and made that a day of feasting and gladness.

rsv@Esther:9:19 @ Therefore the Jews of the villages, who live in the open towns, hold the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day for gladness and feasting and holiday-making, and a day on which they send choice portions to one another.

rsv@Esther:9:20 @ And Mor'decai recorded these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasu-e'rus, both near and far,

rsv@Esther:9:21 @ enjoining them that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar and also the fifteenth day of the same, year by year,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:11 @ Again, if two lie together, they are warm; but how can one be warm alone?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:1 @ Guard your steps when you go to the house of God; to draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know that they are doing evil.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:2 @ Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven, and you upon earth; therefore let your words be few.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:7 @ For when dreams increase, empty words grow many: but do you fear God.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:8 @ If you see in a province the poor oppressed and justice and right violently taken away, do not be amazed at the matter; for the high official is watched by a higher, and there are yet higher ones over them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:20 @ For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @ If a man begets a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but he does not enjoy life's good things, and also has no burial, I say that an untimely birth is better off than he.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:4 @ For it comes into vanity and goes into darkness, and in darkness its name is covered;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:6 @ Even though he should live a thousand years twice told, yet enjoy no good--do not all go to the one place?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:2 @ It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting; for this is the end of all men, and the living will lay it to heart.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:3 @ Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of countenance the heart is made glad.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:4 @ The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:5 @ It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise than to hear the song of fools.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:18 @ It is good that you should take hold of this, and from that withhold not your hand; for he who fears God shall come forth from them all.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:19 @ Wisdom gives strength to the wise man more than ten rulers that are in a city.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:20 @ Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:21 @ Do not give heed to all the things that men say, lest you hear your servant cursing you;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:22 @ your heart knows that many times you have yourself cursed others.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:23 @ All this I have tested by wisdom; I said, "I will be wise"; but it was far from me.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:24 @ That which is, is far off, and deep, very deep; who can find it out?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:25 @ I turned my mind to know and to search out and to seek wisdom and the sum of things, and to know the wickedness of folly and the foolishness which is madness.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:26 @ And I found more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are fetters; he who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is taken by her.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:1 @ Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his countenance is changed.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:4 @ For the word of the king is supreme, and who may say to him, "What are you doing?"

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:5 @ He who obeys a command will meet no harm, and the mind of a wise man will know the time and way.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:8 @ No man has power to retain the spirit, or authority over the day of death; there is no discharge from war, nor will wickedness deliver those who are given to it.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @ Because sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the sons of men is fully set to do evil.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:12 @ Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:13 @ but it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:14 @ There is a vanity which takes place on earth, that there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked, and there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:16 @ When I applied my mind to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on earth, how neither day nor night one's eyes see sleep;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @ But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hate man does not know. Everything before them is vanity,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @ since one fate comes to all, to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, to the clean and the unclean, to him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As is the good man, so is the sinner; and he who swears is as he who shuns an oath.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @ This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that one fate comes to all; also the hearts of men are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:5 @ For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward; but the memory of them is lost.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:6 @ Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and they have no more for ever any share in all that is done under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:7 @ Go, eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already approved what you do.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:8 @ Let your garments be always white; let not oil be lacking on your head.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:10 @ Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @ For man does not know his time. Like fish which are taken in an evil net, and like birds which are caught in a snare, so the sons of men are snared at an evil time, when it suddenly falls upon them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:16 @ But I say that wisdom is better than might, though the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heeded.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:17 @ The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:18 @ Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:2 @ A wise man's heart inclines him toward the right, but a fool's heart toward the left.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:9 @ He who quarries stones is hurt by them; and he who splits logs is endangered by them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:15 @ The toil of a fool wearies him, so that he does not know the way to the city.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:17 @ Happy are you, O land, when your king is the son of free men, and your princes feast at the proper time, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:20 @ Even in your thought, do not curse the king, nor in your bedchamber curse the rich; for a bird of the air will carry your voice, or some winged creature tell the matter.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:2 @ Give a portion to seven, or even to eight, for you know not what evil may happen on earth.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:3 @ If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth; and if a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:4 @ He who observes the wind will not sow; and he who regards the clouds will not reap.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:8 @ For if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:9 @ Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:10 @ Remove vexation from your mind, and put away pain from your body; for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:1 @ Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when you will say, "I have no pleasure in them";

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:2 @ before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds return after the rain;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:3 @ in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men are bent, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look through the windows are dimmed,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:4 @ and the doors on the street are shut; when the sound of the grinding is low, and one rises up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:5 @ they are afraid also of what is high, and terrors are in the way; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along and desire fails; because man goes to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:7 @ and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:9 @ Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging proverbs with great care.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:11 @ The sayings of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings which are given by one Shepherd.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:12 @ My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:13 @ The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:4 @ And in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadrez'zar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem, and they laid siege to it and built siegeworks against it round about.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:5 @ So the city was besieged till the eleventh year of King Zedeki'ah.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:7 @ Then a breach was made in the city; and all the men of war fled and went out from the city by night by the way of a gate between the two walls, by the king's garden, while the Chalde'ans were round about the city. And they went in the direction of the Arabah.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:8 @ But the army of the Chalde'ans pursued the king, and overtook Zedeki'ah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:12 @ In the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month--which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadrez'zar, king of Babylon--Nebu'zarad'an the captain of the bodyguard who served the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:14 @ And all the army of the Chalde'ans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls round about Jerusalem.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:15 @ And Nebu'zarad'an the captain of the guard carried away captive some of the poorest of the people and the rest of the people who were left in the city and the deserters who had deserted to the king of Babylon, together with the rest of the artisans.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:16 @ But Nebu'zarad'an the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and plowmen.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:17 @ And the pillars of bronze that were in the house of the LORD, and the stands and the bronze sea that were in the house of the LORD, the Chalde'ans broke in pieces, and carried all the bronze to Babylon.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:19 @ also the small bowls, and the firepans, and the basins, and the pots, and the lampstands, and the dishes for incense, and the bowls for libation. What was of gold the captain of the guard took away as gold, and what was of silver, as silver.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:20 @ As for the two pillars, the one sea, the twelve bronze bulls which were under the sea, and the stands, which Solomon the king had made for the house of the LORD, the bronze of all these things was beyond weight.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:21 @ As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, its circumference was twelve cubits, and its thickness was four fingers, and it was hollow.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:22 @ Upon it was a capital of bronze; the height of the one capital was five cubits; a network and pomegranates, all of bronze, were upon the capital round about. And the second pillar had the like, with pomegranates.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:24 @ And the captain of the guard took Serai'ah the chief priest, and Zephani'ah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold;

rsv@Jeremiah:52:25 @ and from the city he took an officer who had been in command of the men of war, and seven men of the king's council, who were found in the city; and the secretary of the commander of the army who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:26 @ And Nebu'zarad'an the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:27 @ And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried captive out of its land.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:28 @ This is the number of the people whom Nebuchadrez'zar carried away captive: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews;

rsv@Jeremiah:52:29 @ in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrez'zar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons;

rsv@Jeremiah:52:30 @ in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadrez'zar, Nebu'zarad'an the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five persons; all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

rsv@Jeremiah:52:31 @ And in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoi'achin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, E'vil-mer'odach king of Babylon, in the year that he became king, lifted up the head of Jehoi'achin king of Judah and brought him out of prison;

rsv@Lamentations:2:8 @ The LORD determined to lay in ruins the wall of the daughter of Zion; he marked it off by the line; he restrained not his hand from destroying; he caused rampart and wall to lament, they languish together.

rsv@Lamentations:2:9 @ Her gates have sunk into the ground; he has ruined and broken her bars; her king and princes are among the nations; the law is no more, and her prophets obtain no vision from the LORD.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:1 @ In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the exiles by the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:3 @ the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chalde'ans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was upon him there.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:5 @ And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the form of men,

rsv@Ezekiel:1:7 @ Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:9 @ their wings touched one another; they went every one straight forward, without turning as they went.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:12 @ And each went straight forward; wherever the spirit would go, they went, without turning as they went.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:14 @ And the living creatures darted to and fro, like a flash of lightning.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:15 @ Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:16 @ As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of a chrysolite; and the four had the same likeness, their construction being as it were a wheel within a wheel.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:19 @ And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:21 @ When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those rose from the earth, the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:23 @ And under the firmament their wings were stretched out straight, one toward another; and each creature had two wings covering its body.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:24 @ And when they went, I heard the sound of their wings like the sound of many waters, like the thunder of the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the sound of a host; when they stood still, they let down their wings.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:26 @ And above the firmament over their heads there was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like sapphire; and seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness as it were of a human form.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:27 @ And upward from what had the appearance of his loins I saw as it were gleaming bronze, like the appearance of fire enclosed round about; and downward from what had the appearance of his loins I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about him.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:28 @ Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking.

rsv@Ezekiel:2:2 @ And when he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me upon my feet; and I heard him speaking to me.

rsv@Ezekiel:2:4 @ The people also are impudent and stubborn: I send you to them; and you shall say to them, `Thus says the Lord GOD.'

rsv@Ezekiel:2:6 @ And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you sit upon scorpions; be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.

rsv@Ezekiel:3:6 @ not to many peoples of foreign speech and a hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, if I sent you to such, they would listen to you.

rsv@Ezekiel:3:7 @ But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they are not willing to listen to me; because all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and of a stubborn heart.

rsv@Ezekiel:3:8 @ Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.

rsv@Ezekiel:3:9 @ Like adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead; fear them not, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house."

rsv@Ezekiel:3:21 @ Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man not to sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and you will have saved your life."

rsv@Ezekiel:3:22 @ And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said to me, "Arise, go forth into the plain, and there I will speak with you."

rsv@Daniel:1:5 @ The king assigned them a daily portion of the rich food which the king ate, and of the wine which he drank. They were to be educated for three years, and at the end of that time they were to stand before the king.

rsv@Daniel:1:6 @ Among these were Daniel, Hanani'ah, Mish'a-el, and Azari'ah of the tribe of Judah.

rsv@Daniel:1:7 @ And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: Daniel he called Belteshaz'zar, Hanani'ah he called Shadrach, Mish'a-el he called Meshach, and Azari'ah he called Abed'nego.

rsv@Daniel:1:10 @ and the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, "I fear lest my lord the king, who appointed your food and your drink, should see that you were in poorer condition than the youths who are of your own age. So you would endanger my head with the king."

rsv@Daniel:1:11 @ Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hanani'ah, Mish'a-el, and Azari'ah;

rsv@Daniel:1:13 @ Then let our appearance and the appearance of the youths who eat the king's rich food be observed by you, and according to what you see deal with your servants."

rsv@Daniel:1:15 @ At the end of ten days it was seen that they were better in appearance and fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate the king's rich food.

rsv@Daniel:1:16 @ So the steward took away their rich food and the wine they were to drink, and gave them vegetables.

rsv@Daniel:1:17 @ As for these four youths, God gave them learning and skill in all letters and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

rsv@Daniel:1:18 @ At the end of the time, when the king had commanded that they should be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnez'zar.

rsv@Daniel:1:19 @ And the king spoke with them, and among them all none was found like Daniel, Hanani'ah, Mish'a-el, and Azari'ah; therefore they stood before the king.

rsv@Daniel:1:21 @ And Daniel continued until the first year of King Cyrus.

rsv@Daniel:2:1 @ In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnez'zar, Nebuchadnez'zar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep left him.

rsv@Daniel:2:6 @ But if you show the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor. Therefore show me the dream and its interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:2:8 @ The king answered, "I know with certainty that you are trying to gain time, because you see that the word from me is sure

rsv@Daniel:2:10 @ The Chalde'ans answered the king, "There is not a man on earth who can meet the king's demand; for no great and powerful king has asked such a thing of any magician or enchanter or Chalde'an.

rsv@Daniel:2:14 @ Then Daniel replied with prudence and discretion to Ar'i-och, the captain of the king's guard, who had gone out to slay the wise men of Babylon;

rsv@Daniel:2:15 @ he said to Ar'i-och, the king's captain, "Why is the decree of the king so severe?" Then Ar'i-och made the matter known to Daniel.

rsv@Daniel:2:24 @ Therefore Daniel went in to Ar'i-och, 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; bring me in before the king, and I will show the king the interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:2:25 @ Then Ar'i-och brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus to him: "I have found among the exiles from Judah a man who can make known to the king the interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:2:26 @ The king said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshaz'zar, "Are you able to make known to me the dream that I have seen and its interpretation?"

rsv@Daniel:2:28 @ but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnez'zar what will be in the latter days. Your dream and the visions of your head as you lay in bed are these:

rsv@Daniel:2:31 @ "You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening.

rsv@Daniel:2:32 @ The head of this image was of fine gold, its breast and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,

rsv@Daniel:2:33 @ its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.

rsv@Daniel:2:35 @ then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

rsv@Daniel:2:38 @ and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the sons of men, the beasts of the field, and the birds of the air, making you rule over them all--you are the head of gold.

rsv@Daniel:2:39 @ After you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.

rsv@Daniel:2:41 @ And as you saw the feet and toes partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but some of the firmness of iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the miry clay.

rsv@Daniel:2:42 @ And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle.

rsv@Daniel:2:43 @ As you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay.

rsv@Daniel:2:46 @ Then King Nebuchadnez'zar fell upon his face, and did homage to Daniel, and commanded that an offering and incense be offered up to him.

rsv@Daniel:3:1 @ King Nebuchadnez'zar made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its breadth six cubits. He set it up on the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.

rsv@Daniel:3:2 @ Then King Nebuchadnez'zar sent to assemble the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image which King Nebuchadnez'zar had set up.

rsv@Daniel:3:3 @ Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces, were assembled for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnez'zar had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnez'zar had set up.

rsv@Daniel:3:4 @ And the herald proclaimed aloud, "You are commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,

rsv@Daniel:3:5 @ that when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that King Nebuchadnez'zar has set up;

rsv@Daniel:3:7 @ Therefore, as soon as all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, all the peoples, nations, and languages fell down and worshiped the golden image which King Nebuchadnez'zar had set up.

rsv@Daniel:3:8 @ Therefore at that time certain Chalde'ans came forward and maliciously accused the Jews.

rsv@Daniel:3:9 @ They said to King Nebuchadnez'zar, "O king, live for ever!

rsv@Daniel:3:10 @ You, O king, have made a decree, that every man who hears the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;

rsv@Daniel:3:12 @ There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego. These men, O king, pay no heed to you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up."

rsv@Daniel:3:13 @ Then Nebuchadnez'zar in furious rage commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego be brought. Then they brought these men before the king.

rsv@Daniel:3:14 @ Nebuchadnez'zar said to them, "Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden image which I have set up?

rsv@Daniel:3:15 @ Now if you are ready when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the image which I have made, well and good; but if you do not worship, you shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace; and who is the god that will deliver you out of my hands?"

rsv@Daniel:3:16 @ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego answered the king, "O Nebuchadnez'zar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.

rsv@Daniel:3:19 @ Then Nebuchadnez'zar was full of fury, and the expression of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego. He ordered the furnace heated seven times more than it was wont to be heated.

rsv@Daniel:3:20 @ And he ordered certain mighty men of his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

rsv@Daniel:3:21 @ Then these men were bound in their mantles, their tunics, their hats, and their other garments, and they were cast into the burning fiery furnace.

rsv@Daniel:3:24 @ Then King Nebuchadnez'zar was astonished and rose up in haste. He said to his counselors, "Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?" They answered the king, "True, O king."

rsv@Daniel:3:25 @ He answered, "But I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods."

rsv@Daniel:3:26 @ Then Nebuchadnez'zar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace and said, "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come here!" Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego came out from the fire.

rsv@Daniel:3:27 @ And the satraps, the prefects, the governors, and the king's counselors gathered together and saw that the fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men; the hair of their heads was not singed, their mantles were not harmed, and no smell of fire had come upon them.

rsv@Daniel:3:28 @ Nebuchadnez'zar said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants, who trusted in him, and set at nought the king's command, and yielded up their bodies rather than serve and worship any god except their own God.

rsv@Daniel:4:1 @ King Nebuchadnez'zar to all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you!

rsv@Daniel:4:2 @ It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has wrought toward me.

rsv@Daniel:4:3 @ How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.

rsv@Daniel:4:4 @ I, Nebuchadnez'zar, was at ease in my house and prospering in my palace.

rsv@Daniel:4:5 @ I had a dream which made me afraid; as I lay in bed the fancies and the visions of my head alarmed me.

rsv@Daniel:4:8 @ At last Daniel came in before me--he who was named Belteshaz'zar after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods--and I told him the dream, saying,

rsv@Daniel:4:9 @ "O Belteshaz'zar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no mystery is difficult for you, here is the dream which I saw; tell me its interpretation.

rsv@Daniel:4:10 @ The visions of my head as I lay in bed were these: I saw, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and its height was great.

rsv@Daniel:4:11 @ The tree grew and became strong, and its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth.

rsv@Daniel:4:15 @ But leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, amid the tender grass of the field. Let him be wet with the dew of heaven; let his lot be with the beasts in the grass of the earth;

rsv@Daniel:4:18 @ This dream I, King Nebuchadnez'zar, saw. And you, O Belteshaz'zar, declare the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation, but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you."

rsv@Daniel:4:19 @ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshaz'zar, was dismayed for a moment, and his thoughts alarmed him. The king said, "Belteshaz'zar, let not the dream or the interpretation alarm you." Belteshaz'zar answered, "My lord, may the dream be for those who hate you and its interpretation for your enemies!

rsv@Daniel:4:20 @ The tree you saw, which grew and became strong, so that its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth;

rsv@Daniel:4:22 @ it is you, O king, who have grown and become strong. Your greatness has grown and reaches to heaven, and your dominion to the ends of the earth.

rsv@Daniel:4:23 @ And whereas the king saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying, `Hew down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field; and let him be wet with the dew of heaven; and let his lot be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him';

rsv@Daniel:4:28 @ All this came upon King Nebuchadnez'zar.

rsv@Daniel:4:31 @ While the words were still in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, "O King Nebuchadnez'zar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom has departed from you,

rsv@Daniel:4:32 @ and you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; and you shall be made to eat grass like an ox; and seven times shall pass over you, until you have learned that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will."

rsv@Daniel:4:33 @ Immediately the word was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnez'zar. He was driven from among men, and ate grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair grew as long as eagles' feathers, and his nails were like birds' claws.

rsv@Daniel:4:34 @ At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnez'zar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored him who lives for ever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom endures from generation to generation;

rsv@Daniel:4:35 @ all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing; and he does according to his will in the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, "What doest thou?"

rsv@Daniel:4:37 @ Now I, Nebuchadnez'zar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.

rsv@Daniel:5:1 @ King Belshaz'zar made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, and drank wine in front of the thousand.

rsv@Daniel:5:2 @ Belshaz'zar, when he tasted the wine, commanded that the vessels of gold and of silver which Nebuchadnez'zar his father had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem be brought, that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them.

rsv@Daniel:5:5 @ Immediately the fingers of a man's hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace, opposite the lampstand; and the king saw the hand as it wrote.

rsv@Daniel:5:6 @ Then the king's color changed, and his thoughts alarmed him; his limbs gave way, and his knees knocked together.

rsv@Daniel:5:9 @ Then King Belshaz'zar was greatly alarmed, and his color changed; and his lords were perplexed.

rsv@Daniel:5:10 @ The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banqueting hall; and the queen said, "O king, live for ever! Let not your thoughts alarm you or your color change.

rsv@Daniel:5:11 @ There is in your kingdom a man in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. In the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him, and King Nebuchadnez'zar, your father, made him chief of the magicians, enchanters, Chalde'ans, and astrologers,

rsv@Daniel:5:12 @ because an excellent spirit, knowledge, and understanding to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshaz'zar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:5:13 @ Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king said to Daniel, "You are that Daniel, one of the exiles of Judah, whom the king my father brought from Judah.

rsv@Daniel:5:14 @ I have heard of you that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.

rsv@Daniel:5:16 @ But I have heard that you can give interpretations and solve problems. 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 about your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.

rsv@Daniel:5:17 @ Then Daniel answered before the king, "Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing to the king and make known to him the interpretation.

rsv@Daniel:5:18 @ O king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnez'zar your father kingship and greatness and glory and majesty;

rsv@Daniel:5:19 @ and because of the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him; whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; whom he would he raised up, and whom he would he put down.

rsv@Daniel:5:20 @ But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him;

rsv@Daniel:5:22 @ And you his son, Belshaz'zar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,

rsv@Daniel:5:23 @ but you have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and the vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, but the God in whose hand is your breath, and whose are all your ways, you have not honored.

rsv@Daniel:5:25 @ And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, and PARSIN.

rsv@Daniel:5:29 @ Then Belshaz'zar commanded, and Daniel was clothed with purple, a chain of gold was put about his neck, and proclamation was made concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

rsv@Daniel:5:30 @ That very night Belshaz'zar the Chalde'an king was slain.

rsv@Daniel:5:31 @ And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.

rsv@Daniel:6:1 @ It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, to be throughout the whole kingdom;

rsv@Daniel:6:4 @ Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find a ground for complaint against Daniel with regard to the kingdom; but they could find no ground for complaint or any fault, because he was faithful, and no error or fault was found in him.

rsv@Daniel:6:6 @ Then these presidents and satraps came by agreement to the king and said to him, "O King Darius, live for ever!

rsv@Daniel:6:7 @ All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the counselors and the governors are agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce an interdict, that whoever makes petition to any god or man for thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.

rsv@Daniel:6:9 @ Therefore King Darius signed the document and interdict.

rsv@Daniel:6:10 @ When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem; and he got down upon his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously.

rsv@Daniel:6:12 @ Then they came near and said before the king, concerning the interdict, "O king! Did you not sign an interdict, that any man who makes petition to any god or man within thirty days except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?" The king answered, "The thing stands fast, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be revoked."

rsv@Daniel:6:14 @ Then the king, when he heard these words, was much distressed, and set his mind to deliver Daniel; and he labored till the sun went down to rescue him.

rsv@Daniel:6:19 @ Then, at break of day, the king arose and went in haste to the den of lions.

rsv@Daniel:6:20 @ When he came near to the den where Daniel was, he cried out in a tone of anguish and said to Daniel, "O Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?"

rsv@Daniel:6:25 @ Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth: "Peace be multiplied to you.

rsv@Daniel:6:26 @ I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, enduring for ever; his kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion shall be to the end.

rsv@Daniel:6:27 @ He delivers and rescues, he works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, he who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions."

rsv@Daniel:6:28 @ So this Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

rsv@Daniel:7:1 @ In the first year of Belshaz'zar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head as he lay in his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, and told the sum of the matter.

rsv@Daniel:7:5 @ And behold, another beast, a second one, like a bear. It was raised up on one side; it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, `Arise, devour much flesh.'

rsv@Daniel:7:6 @ After this I looked, and lo, another, like a leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back; and the beast had four heads; and dominion was given to it.

rsv@Daniel:7:15 @ "As for me, Daniel, my spirit within me was anxious and the visions of my head alarmed me.

rsv@Daniel:7:17 @ `These four great beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth.

rsv@Daniel:7:21 @ As I looked, this horn made war with the saints, and prevailed over them,

rsv@Daniel:7:23 @ "Thus he said: `As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it to pieces.

rsv@Daniel:7:24 @ As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise after them; he shall be different from the former ones, and shall put down three kings.

rsv@Daniel:7:25 @ He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, two times, and half a time.

rsv@Daniel:7:28 @ "Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly alarmed me, and my color changed; but I kept the matter in my mind."

rsv@Daniel:8:1 @ In the third year of the reign of King Belshaz'zar a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.

rsv@Daniel:8:4 @ I saw the ram charging westward and northward and southward; no beast could stand before him, and there was no one who could rescue from his power; he did as he pleased and magnified himself.

rsv@Daniel:8:5 @ As I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west across the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.

rsv@Daniel:8:8 @ Then the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly; but when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.

rsv@Daniel:8:9 @ Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the glorious land.

rsv@Daniel:8:10 @ It grew great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them.

rsv@Daniel:8:11 @ It magnified itself, even up to the Prince of the host; and the continual burnt offering was taken away from him, and the place of his sanctuary was overthrown.

rsv@Daniel:8:13 @ Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to the one that spoke, "For how long is the vision concerning the continual burnt offering, the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled under foot?"

rsv@Daniel:8:14 @ And he said to him, "For two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state."

rsv@Daniel:8:15 @ When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it; and behold, there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.

rsv@Daniel:8:16 @ And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the U'lai, and it called, "Gabriel, make this man understand the vision."

rsv@Daniel:8:17 @ So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened and fell upon my face. But he said to me, "Understand, O son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end."

rsv@Daniel:8:20 @ As for the ram which you saw with the two horns, these are the kings of Media and Persia.

rsv@Daniel:8:22 @ As for the horn that was broken, in place of which four others arose, four kingdoms shall arise from his nation, but not with his power.

rsv@Daniel:8:23 @ And at the latter end of their rule, when the transgressors have reached their full measure, a king of bold countenance, one who understands riddles, shall arise.

rsv@Daniel:8:24 @ His power shall be great, and he shall cause fearful destruction, and shall succeed in what he does, and destroy mighty men and the people of the saints.

rsv@Daniel:8:25 @ By his cunning he shall make deceit prosper under his hand, and in his own mind he shall magnify himself. Without warning he shall destroy many; and he shall even rise up against the Prince of princes; but, by no human hand, he shall be broken.

rsv@Daniel:9:1 @ In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasu-e'rus, by birth a Mede, who became king over the realm of the Chalde'ans--

rsv@Daniel:9:2 @ in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years which, according to the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before the end of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years.

rsv@Daniel:9:7 @ To thee, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us confusion of face, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, those that are near and those that are far away, in all the lands to which thou hast driven them, because of the treachery which they have committed against thee.

rsv@Daniel:9:11 @ All Israel has transgressed thy law and turned aside, refusing to obey thy voice. And the curse and oath which are written in the law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because we have sinned against him.

rsv@Daniel:9:16 @ O Lord, according to all thy righteous acts, let thy anger and thy wrath turn away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy hill; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people have become a byword among all who are round about us.

rsv@Daniel:9:17 @ Now therefore, O our God, hearken to the prayer of thy servant and to his supplications, and for thy own sake, O Lord, cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary, which is desolate.

rsv@Daniel:9:18 @ O my God, incline thy ear and hear; open thy eyes and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name; for we do not present our supplications before thee on the ground of our righteousness, but on the ground of thy great mercy.

rsv@Daniel:9:19 @ O LORD, hear; O LORD, forgive; O LORD, give heed and act; delay not, for thy own sake, O my God, because thy city and thy people are called by thy name."

rsv@Daniel:9:23 @ At the beginning of your supplications a word went forth, and I have come to tell it to you, for you are greatly beloved; therefore consider the word and understand the vision.

rsv@Daniel:9:24 @ "Seventy weeks of years are decreed concerning your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.

rsv@Daniel:9:25 @ Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time.

rsv@Daniel:9:26 @ And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off, and shall have nothing; and the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war; desolations are decreed.

rsv@Daniel:10:1 @ In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel, who was named Belteshaz'zar. And the word was true, and it was a great conflict. And he understood the word and had understanding of the vision.

rsv@Daniel:10:6 @ His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the noise of a multitude.

rsv@Daniel:10:8 @ So I was left alone and saw this great vision, and no strength was left in me; my radiant appearance was fearfully changed, and I retained no strength.

rsv@Daniel:10:9 @ Then I heard the sound of his words; and when I heard the sound of his words, I fell on my face in a deep sleep with my face to the ground.

rsv@Daniel:10:12 @ Then he said to me, "Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your mind to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.

rsv@Daniel:10:15 @ When he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground and was dumb.

rsv@Daniel:10:18 @ Again one having the appearance of a man touched me and strengthened me.

rsv@Daniel:10:19 @ And he said, "O man greatly beloved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage." And when he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."

rsv@Daniel:11:1 @ And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.

rsv@Daniel:11:2 @ "And now I will show you the truth. Behold, three more kings shall arise in Persia; and a fourth shall be far richer than all of them; and when he has become strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.

rsv@Daniel:11:3 @ Then a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion and do according to his will.

rsv@Daniel:11:4 @ And when he has arisen, his kingdom shall be broken and divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to the dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up and go to others besides these.

rsv@Daniel:11:6 @ After some years they shall make an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make peace; but she shall not retain the strength of her arm, and he and his offspring shall not endure; but she shall be given up, and her attendants, her child, and he who got possession of her.

rsv@Daniel:11:7 @ "In those times a branch from her roots shall arise in his place; he shall come against the army and enter the fortress of the king of the north, and he shall deal with them and shall prevail.

rsv@Daniel:11:8 @ He shall also carry off to Egypt their gods with their molten images and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and for some years he shall refrain from attacking the king of the north.

rsv@Daniel:11:10 @ "His sons shall wage war and assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall come on and overflow and pass through, and again shall carry the war as far as his fortress.

rsv@Daniel:11:12 @ And when the multitude is taken, his heart shall be exalted, and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.

rsv@Daniel:11:13 @ For the king of the north shall again raise a multitude, greater than the former; and after some years he shall come on with a great army and abundant supplies.

rsv@Daniel:11:18 @ Afterward he shall turn his face to the coastlands, and shall take many of them; but a commander shall put an end to his insolence; indeed he shall turn his insolence back upon him.

rsv@Daniel:11:19 @ Then he shall turn his face back toward the fortresses of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.

rsv@Daniel:11:20 @ "Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an exactor of tribute through the glory of the kingdom; but within a few days he shall be broken, neither in anger nor in battle.

rsv@Daniel:11:21 @ In his place shall arise a contemptible person to whom royal majesty has not been given; he shall come in without warning and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

rsv@Daniel:11:22 @ Armies shall be utterly swept away before him and broken, and the prince of the covenant also.

rsv@Daniel:11:24 @ Without warning he shall come into the richest parts of the province; and he shall do what neither his fathers nor his fathers' fathers have done, scattering among them plunder, spoil, and goods. He shall devise plans against strongholds, but only for a time.

rsv@Daniel:11:25 @ And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall wage war with an exceedingly great and mighty army; but he shall not stand, for plots shall be devised against him.

rsv@Daniel:11:26 @ Even those who eat his rich food shall be his undoing; his army shall be swept away, and many shall fall down slain.

rsv@Daniel:11:28 @ And he shall return to his land with great substance, but his heart shall be set against the holy covenant. And he shall work his will, and return to his own land.

rsv@Daniel:11:31 @ Forces from him shall appear and profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the continual burnt offering. And they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate.

rsv@Daniel:11:33 @ And those among the people who are wise shall make many understand, though they shall fall by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder, for some days.

rsv@Daniel:11:35 @ and some of those who are wise shall fall, to refine and to cleanse them and to make them white, until the time of the end, for it is yet for the time appointed.

rsv@Daniel:11:40 @ "At the time of the end the king of the south shall attack him; but the king of the north shall rush upon him like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall come into countries and shall overflow and pass through.

rsv@Daniel:12:1 @ "At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time; but at that time your people shall be delivered, every one whose name shall be found written in the book.

rsv@Daniel:12:2 @ And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

rsv@Daniel:12:3 @ And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.

rsv@Daniel:12:7 @ The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven; and I heard him swear by him who lives for ever that it would be for a time, two times, and half a time; and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be accomplished.

rsv@Daniel:12:8 @ I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, "O my lord, what shall be the issue of these things?"

rsv@Daniel:12:10 @ Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but those who are wise shall understand.

rsv@Hosea:1:2 @ When the LORD first spoke through Hose'a, the LORD said to Hose'a, "Go, take to yourself a wife of harlotry and have children of harlotry, for the land commits great harlotry by forsaking the LORD."

rsv@Hosea:1:7 @ But I will have pity on the house of Judah, and I will deliver them by the LORD their God; I will not deliver them by bow, nor by sword, nor by war, nor by horses, nor by horsemen."

rsv@Hosea:1:9 @ And the LORD said, "Call his name Not my people, for you are not my people and I am not your God."

rsv@Hosea:1:10 @ Yet the number of the people of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which can be neither measured nor numbered; and in the place where it was said to them, "You are not my people," it shall be said to them, "Sons of the living God."

rsv@Hosea:2:2 @ "Plead with your mother, plead-- for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband--that she put away her harlotry from her face, and her adultery from between her breasts;

rsv@Hosea:2:3 @ lest I strip her naked and make her as in the day she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a parched land, and slay her with thirst.

rsv@Hosea:2:4 @ Upon her children also I will have no pity, because they are children of harlotry.

rsv@Hosea:2:5 @ For their mother has played the harlot; she that conceived them has acted shamefully. For she said, `I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'

rsv@Hosea:2:12 @ And I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of which she said, `These are my hire, which my lovers have given me.' I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall devour them.

rsv@Hosea:2:15 @ And there I will give her her vineyards, and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. And there she shall answer as in the days of her youth, as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.

rsv@Hosea:2:18 @ And I will make for you a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the creeping things of the ground; and I will abolish the bow, the sword, and war from the land; and I will make you lie down in safety.

rsv@Hosea:2:21 @ "And in that day, says the LORD, I will answer the heavens and they shall answer the earth;

rsv@Hosea:2:22 @ and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil, and they shall answer Jezreel;

rsv@Hosea:2:23 @ and I will sow him for myself in the land. And I will have pity on Not pitied, and I will say to Not my people, `You are my people'; and he shall say `Thou art my God.'"

rsv@Hosea:3:1 @ And the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is beloved of a paramour and is an adulteress; even as the LORD loves the people of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins."

rsv@Hosea:3:2 @ So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley.

rsv@Hosea:3:3 @ And I said to her, "You must dwell as mine for many days; you shall not play the harlot, or belong to another man; so will I also be to you."

rsv@Hosea:3:4 @ For the children of Israel shall dwell many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or teraphim.

rsv@Hosea:3:5 @ Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and they shall come in fear to the LORD and to his goodness in the latter days.

rsv@Hosea:4:1 @ Hear the word of the LORD, O people of Israel; for the LORD has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land. There is no faithfulness or kindness, and no knowledge of God in the land;

rsv@Hosea:4:2 @ there is swearing, lying, killing, stealing, and committing adultery; they break all bounds and murder follows murder.

rsv@Hosea:4:3 @ Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it languish, and also the beasts of the field, and the birds of the air; and even the fish of the sea are taken away.

rsv@Hosea:4:6 @ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

rsv@Hosea:4:8 @ They feed on the sin of my people; they are greedy for their iniquity.

rsv@Hosea:4:10 @ They shall eat, but not be satisfied; they shall play the harlot, but not multiply; because they have forsaken the LORD to cherish harlotry.

rsv@Hosea:4:12 @ My people inquire of a thing of wood, and their staff gives them oracles. For a spirit of harlotry has led them astray, and they have left their God to play the harlot.

rsv@Hosea:4:13 @ They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, and make offerings upon the hills, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the harlot, and your brides commit adultery.

rsv@Hosea:4:14 @ I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for the men themselves go aside with harlots, and sacrifice with cult prostitutes, and a people without understanding shall come to ruin.

rsv@Hosea:4:15 @ Though you play the harlot, O Israel, let not Judah become guilty. Enter not into Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-a'ven, and swear not, "As the LORD lives."

rsv@Hosea:4:18 @ A band of drunkards, they give themselves to harlotry; they love shame more than their glory.

rsv@Hosea:4:19 @ A wind has wrapped them in its wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their altars.

rsv@Hosea:5:1 @ Hear this, O priests! Give heed, O house of Israel! Hearken, O house of the king! For the judgment pertains to you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

rsv@Hosea:5:3 @ I know E'phraim, and Israel is not hid from me; for now, O E'phraim, you have played the harlot, Israel is defiled.

rsv@Hosea:5:4 @ Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God. For the spirit of harlotry is within them, and they know not the LORD.

rsv@Hosea:5:8 @ Blow the horn in Gib'e-ah, the trumpet in Ramah. Sound the alarm at Beth-a'ven; tremble, O Benjamin!

rsv@Hosea:5:9 @ E'phraim shall become a desolation in the day of punishment; among the tribes of Israel I declare what is sure.

rsv@Hosea:5:10 @ The princes of Judah have become like those who remove the landmark; upon them I will pour out my wrath like water.

rsv@Hosea:5:14 @ For I will be like a lion to E'phraim, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will rend and go away, I will carry off, and none shall rescue.

rsv@Hosea:6:3 @ Let us know, let us press on to know the LORD; his going forth is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth."

rsv@Hosea:6:4 @ What shall I do with you, O E'phraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes early away.

rsv@Hosea:6:9 @ As robbers lie in wait for a man, so the priests are banded together; they murder on the way to Shechem, yea, they commit villainy.

rsv@Hosea:6:10 @ In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; E'phraim's harlotry is there, Israel is defiled.

rsv@Hosea:6:11 @ For you also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed. When I would restore the fortunes of my people,

rsv@Hosea:7:2 @ But they do not consider that I remember all their evil works. Now their deeds encompass them, they are before my face.

rsv@Hosea:7:4 @ They are all adulterers; they are like a heated oven, whose baker ceases to stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.

rsv@Hosea:7:6 @ For like an oven their hearts burn with intrigue; all night their anger smolders; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.

rsv@Hosea:7:7 @ All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers. All their kings have fallen; and none of them calls upon me.

rsv@Hosea:7:9 @ Aliens devour his strength, and he knows it not; gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, and he knows it not.

rsv@Hosea:7:14 @ They do not cry to me from the heart, but they wail upon their beds; for grain and wine they gash themselves, they rebel against me.

rsv@Hosea:7:15 @ Although I trained and strengthened their arms, yet they devise evil against me.

rsv@Hosea:7:16 @ They turn to Ba'al; they are like a treacherous bow, their princes shall fall by the sword because of the insolence of their tongue. This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

rsv@Hosea:8:5 @ I have spurned your calf, O Sama'ria. My anger burns against them. How long will it be till they are pure

rsv@Hosea:8:8 @ Israel is swallowed up; already they are among the nations as a useless vessel.

rsv@Hosea:8:11 @ Because E'phraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they have become to him altars for sinning.

rsv@Hosea:8:12 @ Were I to write for him my laws by ten thousands, they would be regarded as a strange thing.

rsv@Hosea:9:1 @ Rejoice not, O Israel! Exult not like the peoples; for you have played the harlot, forsaking your God. You have loved a harlot's hire upon all threshing floors.

rsv@Hosea:9:6 @ For behold, they are going to Assyria; Egypt shall gather them, Memphis shall bury them. Nettles shall possess their precious things of silver; thorns shall be in their tents.

rsv@Hosea:9:8 @ The prophet is the watchman of E'phraim, the people of my God, yet a fowler's snare is on all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.

rsv@Hosea:9:12 @ Even if they bring up children, I will bereave them till none is left. Woe to them when I depart from them!

rsv@Hosea:9:13 @ E'phraim's sons, as I have seen, are destined for a prey; E'phraim must lead forth his sons to slaughter.

rsv@Hosea:9:14 @ Give them, O LORD--what wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

rsv@Hosea:9:15 @ Every evil of theirs is in Gilgal; there I began to hate them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more; all their princes are rebels.

rsv@Hosea:9:16 @ E'phraim is stricken, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit. Even though they bring forth, I will slay their beloved children.

rsv@Hosea:9:17 @ My God will cast them off, because they have not hearkened to him; they shall be wanderers among the nations.

rsv@Hosea:10:1 @ Israel is a luxuriant vine that yields its fruit. The more his fruit increased the more altars he built; as his country improved he improved his pillars.

rsv@Hosea:10:2 @ Their heart is false; now they must bear their guilt. The LORD will break down their altars, and destroy their pillars.

rsv@Hosea:10:3 @ For now they will say: "We have no king, for we fear not the LORD, and a king, what could he do for us?"

rsv@Hosea:10:5 @ The inhabitants of Sama'ria tremble for the calf of Beth-a'ven. Its people shall mourn for it, and its idolatrous priests shall wail over it, over its glory which has departed from it.

rsv@Hosea:10:6 @ Yea, the thing itself shall be carried to Assyria, as tribute to the great king. E'phraim shall be put to shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his idol.

rsv@Hosea:10:8 @ The high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed. Thorn and thistle shall grow up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us, and to the hills, Fall upon us.

rsv@Hosea:10:9 @ From the days of Gib'e-ah, you have sinned, O Israel; there they have continued. Shall not war overtake them in Gib'e-ah?

rsv@Hosea:10:10 @ I will come against the wayward people to chastise them; and nations shall be gathered against them when they are chastised for their double iniquity.

rsv@Hosea:10:11 @ E'phraim was a trained heifer that loved to thresh, and I spared her fair neck; but I will put E'phraim to the yoke, Judah must plow, Jacob must harrow for himself.

rsv@Hosea:10:13 @ You have plowed iniquity, you have reaped injustice, you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your chariots and in the multitude of your warriors,

rsv@Hosea:10:14 @ therefore the tumult of war shall arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-ar'bel on the day of battle; mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.

rsv@Hosea:11:3 @ Yet it was I who taught E'phraim to walk, I took them up in my arms; but they did not know that I healed them.

rsv@Hosea:11:6 @ The sword shall rage against their cities, consume the bars of their gates, and devour them in their fortresses.

rsv@Hosea:11:7 @ My people are bent on turning away from me; so they are appointed to the yoke, and none shall remove it.

rsv@Hosea:11:8 @ How can I give you up, O E'phraim! How can I hand you over, O Israel! How can I make you like Admah! How can I treat you like Zeboi'im! My heart recoils within me, my compassion grows warm and tender.

rsv@Hosea:11:10 @ They shall go after the LORD, he will roar like a lion; yea, he will roar, and his sons shall come trembling from the west;

rsv@Hosea:12:1 @ E'phraim herds the wind, and pursues the east wind all day long; they multiply falsehood and violence; they make a bargain with Assyria, and oil is carried to Egypt.

rsv@Hosea:12:7 @ A trader, in whose hands are false balances, he loves to oppress.

rsv@Hosea:12:10 @ I spoke to the prophets; it was I who multiplied visions, and through the prophets gave parables.

rsv@Hosea:12:11 @ If there is iniquity in Gilead they shall surely come to nought; if in Gilgal they sacrifice bulls, their altars also shall be like stone heaps on the furrows of the field.

rsv@Hosea:12:12 @ (Jacob fled to the land of Aram, there Israel did service for a wife, and for a wife he herded sheep.)

rsv@Hosea:13:3 @ Therefore they shall be like the morning mist or like the dew that goes early away, like the chaff that swirls from the threshing floor or like smoke from a window.

rsv@Hosea:13:6 @ but when they had fed to the full, they were filled, and their heart was lifted up; therefore they forgot me.

rsv@Hosea:13:7 @ So I will be to them like a lion, like a leopard I will lurk beside the way.

rsv@Hosea:13:8 @ I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs, I will tear open their breast, and there I will devour them like a lion, as a wild beast would rend them.

rsv@Hosea:13:10 @ Where now is your king, to save you; where are all your princes, to defend you--those of whom you said, "Give me a king and princes"?

rsv@Hosea:13:14 @ Shall I ransom them from the power of Sheol? Shall I redeem them from Death? O Death, where are your plagues? O Sheol, where is your destruction? Compassion is hid from my eyes.

rsv@Hosea:13:15 @ Though he may flourish as the reed plant, the east wind, the wind of the LORD, shall come, rising from the wilderness; and his fountain shall dry up, his spring shall be parched; it shall strip his treasury of every precious thing.

rsv@Hosea:13:16 @ Sama'ria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open.

rsv@Hosea:14:5 @ I will be as the dew to Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, he shall strike root as the poplar;

rsv@Hosea:14:7 @ They shall return and dwell beneath my shadow, they shall flourish as a garden; they shall blossom as the vine, their fragrance shall be like the wine of Lebanon.

rsv@Hosea:14:9 @ Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the LORD are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them.

rsv@Joel:1:2 @ Hear this, you aged men, give ear, all inhabitants of the land! Has such a thing happened in your days, or in the days of your fathers?

rsv@Joel:1:4 @ What the cutting locust left, the swarming locust has eaten. What the swarming locust left, the hopping locust has eaten, and what the hopping locust left, the destroying locust has eaten.

rsv@Joel:1:5 @ Awake, you drunkards, and weep; and wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine, for it is cut off from your mouth.

rsv@Joel:1:6 @ For a nation has come up against my land, powerful and without number; its teeth are lions' teeth, and it has the fangs of a lioness.

rsv@Joel:1:7 @ It has laid waste my vines, and splintered my fig trees; it has stripped off their bark and thrown it down; their branches are made white.

rsv@Joel:1:9 @ The cereal offering and the drink offering are cut off from the house of the LORD. The priests mourn, the ministers of the LORD.

rsv@Joel:1:10 @ The fields are laid waste, the ground mourns; because the grain is destroyed, the wine fails, the oil languishes.

rsv@Joel:1:11 @ Be confounded, O tillers of the soil, wail, O vinedressers, for the wheat and the barley; because the harvest of the field has perished.

rsv@Joel:1:12 @ The vine withers, the fig tree languishes. Pomegranate, palm, and apple, all the trees of the field are withered; and gladness fails from the sons of men.

rsv@Joel:1:13 @ Gird on sackcloth and lament, O priests, wail, O ministers of the altar. Go in, pass the night in sackcloth, O ministers of my God! Because cereal offering and drink offering are withheld from the house of your God.

rsv@Joel:1:15 @ Alas for the day! For the day of the LORD is near, and as destruction from the Almighty it comes.

rsv@Joel:1:17 @ The seed shrivels under the clods, the storehouses are desolate; the granaries are ruined because the grain has failed.

rsv@Joel:1:18 @ How the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed because there is no pasture for them; even the flocks of sheep are dismayed.

rsv@Joel:1:20 @ Even the wild beasts cry to thee because the water brooks are dried up, and fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

rsv@Joel:2:1 @ Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming, it is near,

rsv@Joel:2:2 @ a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness! Like blackness there is spread upon the mountains a great and powerful people; their like has never been from of old, nor will be again after them through the years of all generations.

rsv@Joel:2:3 @ Fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them, but after them a desolate wilderness, and nothing escapes them.

rsv@Joel:2:4 @ Their appearance is like the appearance of horses, and like war horses they run.

rsv@Joel:2:5 @ As with the rumbling of chariots, they leap on the tops of the mountains, like the crackling of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, like a powerful army drawn up for battle.

rsv@Joel:2:6 @ Before them peoples are in anguish, all faces grow pale.

rsv@Joel:2:7 @ Like warriors they charge, like soldiers they scale the wall. They march each on his way, they do not swerve from their paths.

rsv@Joel:2:8 @ They do not jostle one another, each marches in his path; they burst through the weapons and are not halted.

rsv@Joel:2:10 @ The earth quakes before them, the heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.

rsv@Joel:2:11 @ The LORD utters his voice before his army, for his host is exceedingly great; he that executes his word is powerful. For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; who can endure it?

rsv@Matthew:13:39 @ and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels.

rsv@Matthew:13:40 @ Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age.

rsv@Matthew:13:43 @ Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

rsv@Matthew:13:46 @ who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

rsv@Matthew:13:49 @ So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous,

rsv@Matthew:13:55 @ Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

rsv@Matthew:13:56 @ And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all this?"

rsv@Matthew:14:1 @ At that time Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus;

rsv@Matthew:14:2 @ and he said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist, he has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him."

rsv@Matthew:14:5 @ And though he wanted to put him to death, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet.

rsv@Matthew:14:13 @ Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a lonely place apart. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns.

rsv@Matthew:14:26 @ But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear.

rsv@Matthew:14:27 @ But immediately he spoke to them, saying, "Take heart, it is I; have no fear."

rsv@Matthew:14:33 @ And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."

rsv@Matthew:14:34 @ And when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.

rsv@Matthew:14:36 @ and besought him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.

rsv@Matthew:15:1 @ Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,

rsv@Matthew:15:8 @ `This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;

rsv@Matthew:15:14 @ Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit."

rsv@Matthew:15:15 @ But Peter said to him, "Explain the parable to us."

rsv@Matthew:15:18 @ But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a man.

rsv@Matthew:15:19 @ For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander.

rsv@Matthew:15:20 @ These are what defile a man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man."

rsv@Matthew:15:33 @ And the disciples said to him, "Where are we to get bread enough in the desert to feed so great a crowd?"

rsv@Matthew:16:1 @ And the Pharisees and Sad'ducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

rsv@Matthew:16:3 @ And in the morning, `It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.

rsv@Matthew:16:4 @ An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah." So he left them and departed.

rsv@Matthew:16:6 @ Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sad'ducees."

rsv@Matthew:16:8 @ But Jesus, aware of this, said, "O men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves the fact that you have no bread?

rsv@Matthew:16:11 @ How is it that you fail to perceive that I did not speak about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sad'ducees."

rsv@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sad'ducees.

rsv@Matthew:16:13 @ Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesare'a Philip'pi, he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that the Son of man is?"

rsv@Matthew:16:16 @ Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

rsv@Matthew:16:17 @ And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

rsv@Matthew:16:19 @ I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

rsv@Matthew:16:20 @ Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

rsv@Matthew:16:23 @ But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you are not on the side of God, but of men."

rsv@Matthew:16:28 @ Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom."

rsv@Matthew:17:2 @ And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as light.

rsv@Matthew:17:3 @ And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Eli'jah, talking with him.

rsv@Matthew:17:4 @ And Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is well that we are here; if you wish, I will make three booths here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah."

rsv@Matthew:17:6 @ When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces, and were filled with awe.

rsv@Matthew:17:7 @ But Jesus came and touched them, saying, "Rise, and have no fear."

rsv@Matthew:17:17 @ And Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me."

rsv@Matthew:17:20 @ He said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, `Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you."

rsv@Matthew:17:24 @ He said, "Yes." And when he came home, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tribute? From their sons or from others?"

rsv@Matthew:17:25 @ And when he said, "From others," Jesus said to him, "Then the sons are free.

rsv@Matthew:26:74 @ Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, "I do not know the man." And immediately the cock crowed.

rsv@Matthew:27:5 @ And throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went and hanged himself.

rsv@Matthew:27:6 @ But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since they are blood money."

rsv@Matthew:27:11 @ Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You have said so."

rsv@Matthew:27:13 @ Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?"

rsv@Matthew:27:14 @ But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge; so that the governor wondered greatly.

rsv@Matthew:27:16 @ And they had then a notorious prisoner, called Barab'bas.

rsv@Matthew:27:17 @ So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you, Barab'bas or Jesus who is called Christ?"

rsv@Matthew:27:20 @ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the people to ask for Barab'bas and destroy Jesus.

rsv@Matthew:27:21 @ The governor again said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barab'bas."

rsv@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released for them Barab'bas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.

rsv@Matthew:27:28 @ And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe upon him,

rsv@Matthew:27:32 @ As they went out, they came upon a man of Cyre'ne, Simon by name; this man they compelled to carry his cross.

rsv@Matthew:27:35 @ And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots;

rsv@Matthew:27:37 @ And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, "This is Jesus the King of the Jews."

rsv@Matthew:27:40 @ and saying, "You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross."

rsv@Matthew:27:45 @ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

rsv@Matthew:27:47 @ And some of the bystanders hearing it said, "This man is calling Eli'jah."

rsv@Matthew:27:48 @ And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink.

rsv@Matthew:27:51 @ And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom; and the earth shook, and the rocks were split;

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

rsv@Matthew:27:54 @ When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe, and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

rsv@Matthew:27:55 @ There were also many women there, looking on from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him;

rsv@Matthew:27:56 @ among whom were Mary Mag'dalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zeb'edee.

rsv@Matthew:27:57 @ When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathe'a, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus.

rsv@Matthew:27:60 @ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

rsv@Matthew:27:61 @ Mary Mag'dalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the sepulchre.

rsv@Matthew:27:62 @ Next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate

rsv@Matthew:27:65 @ Pilate said to them, "You have a guard of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can."

rsv@Matthew:27:66 @ So they went and made the sepulchre secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard.

rsv@Matthew:28:1 @ Now after the sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Mag'dalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulchre.

rsv@Matthew:28:2 @ And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.

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

rsv@Matthew:28:4 @ And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men.

rsv@Matthew:28:8 @ So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

rsv@Matthew:28:11 @ While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place.

rsv@Matthew:28:14 @ And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble."

rsv@Matthew:28:18 @ And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

rsv@Mark:1:1 @ The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

rsv@Mark:1:2 @ As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, "Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way;

rsv@Mark:1:3 @ the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight--"

rsv@Mark:1:4 @ John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

rsv@Mark:1:5 @ And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

rsv@Mark:1:6 @ Now John was clothed with camel's hair, and had a leather girdle around his waist, and ate locusts and wild honey.

rsv@Mark:1:7 @ And he preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.

rsv@Mark:1:8 @ I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."

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

rsv@Mark:1:10 @ And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove;

rsv@Mark:1:11 @ and a voice came from heaven, "Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased."

rsv@Mark:1:12 @ The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness.

rsv@Mark:1:13 @ And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.

rsv@Mark:1:14 @ Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,

rsv@Mark:1:15 @ and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel."

rsv@Mark:1:16 @ And passing along by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.

rsv@Mark:1:17 @ And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you become fishers of men."

rsv@Mark:1:18 @ And immediately they left their nets and followed him.

rsv@Mark:1:19 @ And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zeb'edee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets.

rsv@Mark:1:20 @ And immediately he called them; and they left their father Zeb'edee in the boat with the hired servants, and followed him.

rsv@Mark:1:21 @ And they went into Caper'na-um; and immediately on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught.

rsv@Mark:1:22 @ And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.

rsv@Mark:1:23 @ And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit;

rsv@Mark:1:24 @ and he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God."

rsv@Mark:1:25 @ But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!"

rsv@Mark:1:26 @ And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

rsv@Mark:1:27 @ And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching! With authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."

rsv@Mark:1:28 @ And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.

rsv@Mark:1:29 @ And immediately he left the synagogue, and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

rsv@Mark:1:30 @ Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him of her.

rsv@Mark:1:31 @ And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her; and she served them.

rsv@Mark:1:32 @ That evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons.

rsv@Mark:1:33 @ And the whole city was gathered together about the door.

rsv@Mark:1:34 @ And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.

rsv@Mark:1:35 @ And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed.

rsv@Mark:1:36 @ And Simon and those who were with him pursued him,

rsv@Mark:1:37 @ and they found him and said to him, "Every one is searching for you."

rsv@Mark:1:38 @ And he said to them, "Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also; for that is why I came out."

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

rsv@Mark:1:40 @ And a leper came to him beseeching him, and kneeling said to him, "If you will, you can make me clean."

rsv@Mark:1:41 @ Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, "I will; be clean."

rsv@Mark:1:42 @ And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.

rsv@Mark:1:43 @ And he sternly charged him, and sent him away at once,

rsv@Mark:1:44 @ and said to him, "See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to the people."

rsv@Mark:1:45 @ But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.

rsv@Mark:2:1 @ And when he returned to Caper'na-um after some days, it was reported that he was at home.

rsv@Mark:2:2 @ And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, not even about the door; and he was preaching the word to them.

rsv@Mark:2:3 @ And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.

rsv@Mark:2:4 @ And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and when they had made an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay.

rsv@Mark:2:5 @ And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "My son, your sins are forgiven."

rsv@Mark:2:6 @ Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts,

rsv@Mark:2:7 @ "Why does this man speak thus? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

rsv@Mark:2:8 @ And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you question thus in your hearts?

rsv@Mark:2:9 @ Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, `Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, `Rise, take up your pallet and walk'?

rsv@Mark:2:10 @ But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--he said to the paralytic--

rsv@Mark:2:11 @ "I say to you, rise, take up your pallet and go home."

rsv@Mark:2:12 @ And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

rsv@Mark:2:13 @ He went out again beside the sea; and all the crowd gathered about him, and he taught them.

rsv@Mark:2:14 @ And as he passed on, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he rose and followed him.

rsv@Mark:2:15 @ And as he sat at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were sitting with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many who followed him.

rsv@Mark:2:16 @ And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

rsv@Mark:2:17 @ And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."

rsv@Mark:2:18 @ Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and people came and said to him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"

rsv@Mark:2:19 @ And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

rsv@Mark:2:20 @ The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.

rsv@Mark:2:21 @ No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; if he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made.

rsv@Mark:2:22 @ And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and so are the skins; but new wine is for fresh skins."

rsv@Mark:2:23 @ One sabbath he was going through the grainfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain.

rsv@Mark:2:24 @ And the Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?"

rsv@Mark:2:25 @ And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him:

rsv@Mark:2:26 @ how he entered the house of God, when Abi'athar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?"

rsv@Mark:2:27 @ And he said to them, "The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath;

rsv@Mark:2:28 @ so the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath."

rsv@Mark:3:1 @ Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand.

rsv@Mark:3:2 @ And they watched him, to see whether he would heal him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him.

rsv@Mark:3:3 @ And he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Come here."

rsv@Mark:3:4 @ And he said to them, "Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?" But they were silent.

rsv@Mark:3:5 @ And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

rsv@Mark:3:6 @ The Pharisees went out, and immediately held counsel with the Hero'di-ans against him, how to destroy him.

rsv@Mark:3:7 @ Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed; also from Judea

rsv@Mark:3:8 @ and Jerusalem and Idume'a and from beyond the Jordan and from about Tyre and Sidon a great multitude, hearing all that he did, came to him.

rsv@Mark:3:9 @ And he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they should crush him;

rsv@Mark:3:10 @ for he had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him.

rsv@Mark:3:11 @ And whenever the unclean spirits beheld him, they fell down before him and cried out, "You are the Son of God."

rsv@Mark:3:12 @ And he strictly ordered them not to make him known.

rsv@Mark:3:13 @ And he went up on the mountain, and called to him those whom he desired; and they came to him.

rsv@Mark:3:14 @ And he appointed twelve, to be with him, and to be sent out to preach

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

rsv@Mark:3:16 @ Simon whom he surnamed Peter;

rsv@Mark:3:17 @ James the son of Zeb'edee and John the brother of James, whom he surnamed Bo-aner'ges, that is, sons of thunder;

rsv@Mark:3:18 @ Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean,

rsv@Mark:3:19 @ and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. Then he went home;

rsv@Mark:3:20 @ and the crowd came together again, so that they could not even eat.

rsv@Mark:3:21 @ And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for people were saying, "He is beside himself."

rsv@Mark:3:22 @ And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Be-el'zebul, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons."

rsv@Mark:3:23 @ And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan?

rsv@Mark:3:24 @ If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

rsv@Mark:3:25 @ And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

rsv@Mark:3:26 @ And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end.

rsv@Mark:3:27 @ But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man; then indeed he may plunder his house.

rsv@Mark:3:28 @ "Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter;

rsv@Mark:3:29 @ but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"--

rsv@Mark:3:30 @ for they had said, "He has an unclean spirit."

rsv@Mark:3:31 @ And his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside they sent to him and called him.

rsv@Mark:3:32 @ And a crowd was sitting about him; and they said to him, "Your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you."

rsv@Mark:3:33 @ And he replied, "Who are my mother and my brothers?"

rsv@Mark:3:34 @ And looking around on those who sat about him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers!

rsv@Mark:3:35 @ Whoever does the will of God is my brother, and sister, and mother."

rsv@Mark:4:1 @ Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land.

rsv@Mark:4:2 @ And he taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them:

rsv@Mark:4:3 @ "Listen! A sower went out to sow.

rsv@Mark:4:4 @ And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

rsv@Mark:4:5 @ Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil;

rsv@Mark:4:6 @ and when the sun rose it was scorched, and since it had no root it withered away.

rsv@Mark:4:7 @ Other seed fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain.

rsv@Mark:4:8 @ And other seeds fell into good soil and brought forth grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold."

rsv@Mark:4:9 @ And he said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

rsv@Mark:4:10 @ And when he was alone, those who were about him with the twelve asked him concerning the parables.

rsv@Mark:4:11 @ And he said to them, "To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables;

rsv@Mark:4:12 @ so that they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand; lest they should turn again, and be forgiven."

rsv@Mark:4:13 @ And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?

rsv@Mark:4:14 @ The sower sows the word.

rsv@Mark:4:15 @ And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown; when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word which is sown in them.

rsv@Mark:4:16 @ And these in like manner are the ones sown upon rocky ground, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy;

rsv@Mark:4:17 @ and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away.

rsv@Mark:4:18 @ And others are the ones sown among thorns; they are those who hear the word,

rsv@Mark:4:19 @ but the cares of the world, and the delight in riches, and the desire for other things, enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.

rsv@Mark:4:20 @ But those that were sown upon the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold."

rsv@Mark:4:21 @ And he said to them, "Is a lamp brought in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed, and not on a stand?

rsv@Mark:4:22 @ For there is nothing hid, except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret, except to come to light.

rsv@Mark:4:23 @ If any man has ears to hear, let him hear."

rsv@Mark:4:24 @ And he said to them, "Take heed what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you.

rsv@Mark:4:25 @ For to him who has will more be given; and from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away."

rsv@Mark:4:26 @ And he said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed upon the ground,

rsv@Mark:4:27 @ and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he knows not how.

rsv@Mark:4:28 @ The earth produces of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

rsv@Mark:4:29 @ But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."

rsv@Mark:4:30 @ And he said, "With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it?

rsv@Mark:4:31 @ It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth;

rsv@Mark:4:32 @ yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade."

rsv@Mark:4:33 @ With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it;

rsv@Mark:4:34 @ he did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

rsv@Mark:4:35 @ On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go across to the other side."

rsv@Mark:4:36 @ And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him.

rsv@Mark:4:37 @ And a great storm of wind arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already filling.

rsv@Mark:4:38 @ But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care if we perish?"

rsv@Mark:4:39 @ And he awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

rsv@Mark:4:40 @ He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Have you no faith?"

rsv@Mark:4:41 @ And they were filled with awe, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey him?"

rsv@Mark:5:1 @ They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Ger'asenes.

rsv@Mark:5:2 @ And when he had come out of the boat, there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

rsv@Mark:5:3 @ who lived among the tombs; and no one could bind him any more, even with a chain;

rsv@Mark:5:4 @ for he had often been bound with fetters and chains, but the chains he wrenched apart, and the fetters he broke in pieces; and no one had the strength to subdue him.

rsv@Mark:5:5 @ Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out, and bruising himself with stones.

rsv@Mark:5:6 @ And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped him;

rsv@Mark:5:7 @ and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."

rsv@Mark:5:8 @ For he had said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"

rsv@Mark:5:9 @ And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "My name is Legion; for we are many."

rsv@Mark:5:10 @ And he begged him eagerly not to send them out of the country.

rsv@Mark:5:11 @ Now a great herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside;

rsv@Mark:5:12 @ and they begged him, "Send us to the swine, let us enter them."

rsv@Mark:5:13 @ So he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered the swine; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and were drowned in the sea.

rsv@Mark:5:14 @ The herdsmen fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened.

rsv@Mark:5:15 @ And they came to Jesus, and saw the demoniac sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, the man who had had the legion; and they were afraid.

rsv@Mark:5:16 @ And those who had seen it told what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine.

rsv@Mark:5:17 @ And they began to beg Jesus to depart from their neighborhood.

rsv@Mark:5:18 @ And as he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him.

rsv@Mark:5:19 @ But he refused, and said to him, "Go home to your friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you."

rsv@Mark:5:20 @ And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decap'olis how much Jesus had done for him; and all men marveled.

rsv@Mark:5:21 @ And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him; and he was beside the sea.

rsv@Mark:5:22 @ Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Ja'irus by name; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,

rsv@Mark:5:23 @ and besought him, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live."

rsv@Mark:5:24 @ And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him.

rsv@Mark:5:25 @ And there was a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,

rsv@Mark:5:26 @ and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse.

rsv@Mark:5:27 @ She had heard the reports about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment.

rsv@Mark:5:28 @ For she said, "If I touch even his garments, I shall be made well."

rsv@Mark:5:29 @ And immediately the hemorrhage ceased; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.

rsv@Mark:5:30 @ And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, immediately turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my garments?"

rsv@Mark:5:31 @ And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, `Who touched me?'"

rsv@Mark:5:32 @ And he looked around to see who had done it.

rsv@Mark:5:33 @ But the woman, knowing what had been done to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.

rsv@Mark:5:34 @ And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease."

rsv@Mark:5:35 @ While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler's house some who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?"

rsv@Mark:5:36 @ But ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe."

rsv@Mark:5:37 @ And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

rsv@Mark:5:38 @ When they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, he saw a tumult, and people weeping and wailing loudly.

rsv@Mark:5:39 @ And when he had entered, he said to them, "Why do you make a tumult and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping."

rsv@Mark:5:40 @ And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside, and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

rsv@Mark:5:41 @ Taking her by the hand he said to her, "Tal'itha cu'mi"; which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise."

rsv@Mark:5:42 @ And immediately the girl got up and walked (she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement.

rsv@Mark:5:43 @ And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.

rsv@Mark:6:1 @ He went away from there and came to his own country; and his disciples followed him.

rsv@Mark:6:2 @ And on the sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue; and many who heard him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get all this? What is the wisdom given to him? What mighty works are wrought by his hands!

rsv@Mark:6:3 @ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.

rsv@Mark:6:4 @ And Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."

rsv@Mark:6:5 @ And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands upon a few sick people and healed them.

rsv@Mark:6:6 @ And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching.

rsv@Mark:6:7 @ And he called to him the twelve, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

rsv@Mark:6:8 @ He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts;

rsv@Mark:6:9 @ but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics.

rsv@Mark:6:10 @ And he said to them, "Where you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place.

rsv@Mark:6:11 @ And if any place will not receive you and they refuse to hear you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet for a testimony against them."

rsv@Mark:6:12 @ So they went out and preached that men should repent.

rsv@Mark:6:13 @ And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.

rsv@Mark:6:14 @ King Herod heard of it; for Jesus' name had become known. Some said, "John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him."

rsv@Mark:6:15 @ But others said, "It is Eli'jah." And others said, "It is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old."

rsv@Mark:6:16 @ But when Herod heard of it he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has been raised."

rsv@Mark:6:17 @ For Herod had sent and seized John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Hero'di-as, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her.

rsv@Mark:6:18 @ For John said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."

rsv@Mark:6:19 @ And Hero'di-as had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not,

rsv@Mark:6:20 @ for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he was much perplexed; and yet he heard him gladly.

rsv@Mark:6:21 @ But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers and officers and the leading men of Galilee.

rsv@Mark:6:22 @ For when Hero'di-as' daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will grant it."

rsv@Mark:6:23 @ And he vowed to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom."

rsv@Mark:6:24 @ And she went out, and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the baptizer."

rsv@Mark:6:25 @ And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

rsv@Mark:6:26 @ And the king was exceedingly sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her.

rsv@Mark:6:27 @ And immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard and gave orders to bring his head. He went and beheaded him in the prison,

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

rsv@Mark:6:29 @ When his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.

rsv@Mark:6:30 @ The apostles returned to Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught.

rsv@Mark:6:31 @ And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a lonely place, and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.

rsv@Mark:6:32 @ And they went away in the boat to a lonely place by themselves.

rsv@Mark:6:33 @ Now many saw them going, and knew them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns, and got there ahead of them.

rsv@Mark:6:34 @ As he went ashore he saw a great throng, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

rsv@Mark:6:35 @ And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, "This is a lonely place, and the hour is now late;

rsv@Mark:6:36 @ send them away, to go into the country and villages round about and buy themselves something to eat."

rsv@Mark:6:37 @ But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." And they said to him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?"

rsv@Mark:6:38 @ And he said to them, "How many loaves have you? Go and see." And when they had found out, they said, "Five, and two fish."

rsv@Mark:6:39 @ Then he commanded them all to sit down by companies upon the green grass.

rsv@Mark:6:40 @ So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.

rsv@Mark:6:41 @ And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all.

rsv@Mark:6:42 @ And they all ate and were satisfied.

rsv@Mark:6:43 @ And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.

rsv@Mark:6:44 @ And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

rsv@Mark:6:45 @ Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Beth-sa'ida, while he dismissed the crowd.

rsv@Mark:6:46 @ And after he had taken leave of them, he went up on the mountain to pray.

rsv@Mark:6:47 @ And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land.

rsv@Mark:6:48 @ And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them,

rsv@Mark:6:49 @ but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out;

rsv@Mark:6:50 @ for they all saw him, and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take heart, it is I; have no fear."

rsv@Mark:6:51 @ And he got into the boat with them and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded,

rsv@Mark:6:52 @ for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

rsv@Mark:6:53 @ And when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennes'aret, and moored to the shore.

rsv@Mark:6:54 @ And when they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,

rsv@Mark:6:55 @ and ran about the whole neighborhood and began to bring sick people on their pallets to any place where they heard he was.

rsv@Mark:6:56 @ And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or country, they laid the sick in the market places, and besought him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.

rsv@Mark:7:1 @ Now when the Pharisees gathered together to him, with some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,

rsv@Mark:7:2 @ they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands defiled, that is, unwashed.

rsv@Mark:7:3 @ (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they wash their hands, observing the tradition of the elders;

rsv@Mark:7:4 @ and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they purify themselves; and there are many other traditions which they observe, the washing of cups and pots and vessels of bronze.)

rsv@Mark:7:5 @ And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with hands defiled?"

rsv@Mark:7:6 @ And he 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;

rsv@Mark:7:7 @ in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.'

rsv@Mark:7:8 @ You leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men."

rsv@Mark:7:9 @ And he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God, in order to keep your tradition!

rsv@Mark:7:10 @ For Moses said, `Honor your father and your mother'; and, `He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him surely die';

rsv@Mark:7:11 @ but you say, `If a man tells his father or his mother, What you would have gained from me is Corban' (that is, given to God)--

rsv@Mark:7:12 @ then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother,

rsv@Mark:7:13 @ thus making void the word of God through your tradition which you hand on. And many such things you do."

rsv@Mark:7:14 @ And he called the people to him again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand:

rsv@Mark:7:15 @ there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him."

rsv@Mark:7:16 @ And when he had entered the house, and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.

rsv@Mark:7:17 @ And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him,

rsv@Mark:7:18 @ since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.)

rsv@Mark:7:19 @ And he said, "What comes out of a man is what defiles a man.

rsv@Mark:7:20 @ For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery,

rsv@Mark:7:21 @ coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.

rsv@Mark:7:22 @ All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man."

rsv@Mark:7:23 @ And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and would not have any one know it; yet he could not be hid.

rsv@Mark:7:24 @ But immediately a woman, whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell down at his feet.

rsv@Mark:7:25 @ Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoeni'cian by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

rsv@Mark:7:26 @ And he said to her, "Let the children first be fed, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

rsv@Mark:7:27 @ But she answered him, "Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."

rsv@Mark:7:28 @ And he said to her, "For this saying you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter."

rsv@Mark:7:29 @ And she went home, and found the child lying in bed, and the demon gone.

rsv@Mark:7:30 @ Then he returned from the region of Tyre, and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, through the region of the Decap'olis.

rsv@Mark:7:31 @ And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him.

rsv@Mark:7:32 @ And taking him aside from the multitude privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue;

rsv@Mark:7:33 @ and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Eph'phatha," that is, "Be opened."

rsv@Mark:7:34 @ And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.

rsv@Mark:7:35 @ And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.

rsv@Mark:7:36 @ And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well; he even makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak."

rsv@Mark:8:1 @ In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him, and said to them,

rsv@Mark:8:2 @ "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat;

rsv@Mark:8:3 @ and if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come a long way."

rsv@Mark:8:4 @ And his disciples answered him, "How can one feed these men with bread here in the desert?"

rsv@Mark:8:5 @ And he asked them, "How many loaves have you?" They said, "Seven."

rsv@Mark:8:6 @ And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd.

rsv@Mark:8:7 @ And they had a few small fish; and having blessed them, he commanded that these also should be set before them.

rsv@Mark:8:8 @ And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.

rsv@Mark:8:9 @ And there were about four thousand people.

rsv@Mark:8:10 @ And he sent them away; and immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and went to the district of Dalmanu'tha.

rsv@Mark:8:11 @ The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, to test him.

rsv@Mark:8:12 @ And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."

rsv@Mark:8:13 @ And he left them, and getting into the boat again he departed to the other side.

rsv@Mark:8:14 @ Now they had forgotten to bring bread; and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.

rsv@Mark:8:15 @ And he cautioned them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."

rsv@Mark:8:16 @ And they discussed it with one another, saying, "We have no bread."

rsv@Mark:8:17 @ And being aware of it, Jesus said to them, "Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened?

rsv@Mark:8:18 @ Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember?

rsv@Mark:8:19 @ When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They said to him, "Twelve."

rsv@Mark:8:20 @ "And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" And they said to him, "Seven."

rsv@Mark:8:21 @ And he said to them, "Do you not yet understand?"

rsv@Mark:8:22 @ And they came to Beth-sa'ida. And some people brought to him a blind man, and begged him to touch him.

rsv@Mark:8:23 @ And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, "Do you see anything?"

rsv@Mark:8:24 @ And he looked up and said, "I see men; but they look like trees, walking."

rsv@Mark:8:25 @ Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and saw everything clearly.

rsv@Mark:8:26 @ And he sent him away to his home, saying, "Do not even enter the village."

rsv@Mark:8:27 @ And Jesus went on with his disciples, to the villages of Caesare'a Philip'pi; and on the way he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?"

rsv@Mark:8:28 @ And they told him, "John the Baptist; and others say, Eli'jah; and others one of the prophets."

rsv@Mark:8:29 @ And he asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Christ."

rsv@Mark:8:30 @ And he charged them to tell no one about him.

rsv@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 the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

rsv@Mark:8:32 @ And he said this plainly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

rsv@Mark:8:33 @ But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you are not on the side of God, but of men."

rsv@Mark:8:34 @ And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

rsv@Mark:8:35 @ For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it.

rsv@Mark:8:36 @ For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?

rsv@Mark:8:37 @ For what can a man give in return for his life?

rsv@Mark:8:38 @ For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

rsv@Mark:9:1 @ And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power."

rsv@Mark:9:2 @ And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them,

rsv@Mark:9:3 @ and his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them.

rsv@Mark:9:4 @ And there appeared to them Eli'jah with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus.

rsv@Mark:9:5 @ And Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah."

rsv@Mark:9:6 @ For he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid.

rsv@Mark:9:7 @ And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son; listen to him."

rsv@Mark:9:8 @ And suddenly looking around they no longer saw any one with them but Jesus only.

rsv@Mark:9:9 @ And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of man should have risen from the dead.

rsv@Mark:9:10 @ So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.

rsv@Mark:9:11 @ And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that first Eli'jah must come?"

rsv@Mark:9:12 @ And he said to them, "Eli'jah does come first to restore all things; and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

rsv@Mark:9:13 @ But I tell you that Eli'jah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him."

rsv@Mark:9:14 @ And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd about them, and scribes arguing with them.

rsv@Mark:9:15 @ And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and ran up to him and greeted him.

rsv@Mark:9:16 @ And he asked them, "What are you discussing with them?"

rsv@Mark:9:17 @ And one of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a dumb spirit;

rsv@Mark:9:18 @ and wherever it seizes him, it dashes him down; and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid; and I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able."

rsv@Mark:9:19 @ And he answered them, "O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me."

rsv@Mark:9:20 @ And they brought the boy to him; and when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

rsv@Mark:9:21 @ And Jesus asked his father, "How long has he had this?" And he said, "From childhood.

rsv@Mark:9:22 @ And it has often cast him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us."

rsv@Mark:9:23 @ And Jesus said to him, "If you can! All things are possible to him who believes."

rsv@Mark:9:24 @ Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief!"

rsv@Mark:9:25 @ And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again."

rsv@Mark:9:26 @ And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse; so that most of them said, "He is dead."

rsv@Mark:9:27 @ But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

rsv@Mark:9:28 @ And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"

rsv@Mark:9:29 @ And he said to them, "This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer."

rsv@Mark:9:30 @ They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he would not have any one know it;

rsv@Mark:9:31 @ for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, "The Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he will rise."

rsv@Mark:9:32 @ But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to ask him.

rsv@Mark:9:33 @ And they came to Caper'na-um; and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you discussing on the way?"

rsv@Mark:9:34 @ But they were silent; for on the way they had discussed with one another who was the greatest.

rsv@Mark:9:35 @ And he sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any one would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."

rsv@Mark:9:36 @ And he took a child, and put him in the midst of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them,

rsv@Mark:9:37 @ "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me."

rsv@Mark:9:38 @ John said to him, "Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us."

rsv@Mark:9:39 @ But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon after to speak evil of me.

rsv@Mark:9:40 @ For he that is not against us is for us.

rsv@Mark:9:41 @ For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward.

rsv@Mark:9:42 @ "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

rsv@Mark:9:43 @ And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire.

rsv@Mark:9:44 @ And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell.

rsv@Mark:9:45 @ 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 than with two eyes to be thrown into hell,

rsv@Mark:9:46 @ where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.

rsv@Mark:9:47 @ For every one will be salted with fire.

rsv@Mark:9:48 @ Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its saltness, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

rsv@Mark:10:1 @ And he left there and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered to him again; and again, as his custom was, he taught them.

rsv@Mark:10:2 @ And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"

rsv@Mark:10:3 @ He answered them, "What did Moses command you?"

rsv@Mark:10:4 @ They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to put her away."

rsv@Mark:10:5 @ But Jesus said to them, "For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.

rsv@Mark:10:6 @ But from the beginning of creation, `God made them male and female.'

rsv@Mark:10:7 @ `For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,

rsv@Mark:10:8 @ and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh.

rsv@Mark:10:9 @ What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."

rsv@Mark:10:10 @ And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter.

rsv@Mark:10:11 @ And he said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery against her;

rsv@Mark:10:12 @ and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."

rsv@Mark:10:13 @ And they were bringing children to him, that he might touch them; and the disciples rebuked them.

rsv@Mark:10:14 @ But when Jesus saw it he was indignant, and said to them, "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

rsv@Mark:10:15 @ Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it."

rsv@Mark:10:16 @ And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands upon them.

rsv@Mark:10:17 @ And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

rsv@Mark:10:18 @ And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.

rsv@Mark:10:19 @ You know the commandments: `Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.'"

rsv@Mark:10:20 @ And he said to him, "Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth."

rsv@Mark:10:21 @ And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

rsv@Mark:10:22 @ At that saying his countenance fell, and he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.

rsv@Mark:10:23 @ And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it will be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!"

rsv@Mark:10:24 @ And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

rsv@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."

rsv@Mark:10:26 @ And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him, "Then who can be saved?"

rsv@Mark:10:27 @ Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God."

rsv@Mark:10:28 @ Peter began to say to him, "Lo, we have left everything and followed you."

rsv@Mark:10:29 @ Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel,

rsv@Mark:10:30 @ who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life.

rsv@Mark:10:31 @ But many that are first will be last, and the last first."

rsv@Mark:10:32 @ And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him,

rsv@Mark:10:33 @ saying, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him to the Gentiles;

rsv@Mark:10:34 @ and they will mock him, and spit upon him, and scourge him, and kill him; and after three days he will rise."

rsv@Mark:10:35 @ And James and John, the sons of Zeb'edee, came forward to him, and said to him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you."

rsv@Mark:10:36 @ And he said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"

rsv@Mark:10:37 @ And they said to him, "Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory."

rsv@Mark:10:38 @ But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?"

rsv@Mark:10:39 @ And they said to him, "We are able." And Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized;

rsv@Mark:10:40 @ but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared."

rsv@Mark:10:41 @ And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John.

rsv@Mark:10:42 @ And Jesus called them to him and said to them, "You know that those who are supposed to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.

rsv@Mark:10:43 @ But it shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant,

rsv@Mark:10:44 @ and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all.

rsv@Mark:10:45 @ For the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

rsv@Mark:10:46 @ And they came to Jericho; and as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, Bartimae'us, a blind beggar, the son of Timae'us, was sitting by the roadside.

rsv@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!"

rsv@Mark:10:48 @ And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

rsv@Mark:10:49 @ And Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." And they called the blind man, saying to him, "Take heart; rise, he is calling you."

rsv@Mark:10:50 @ And throwing off his mantle he sprang up and came to Jesus.

rsv@Mark:10:51 @ And Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?" And the blind man said to him, "Master, let me receive my sight."

rsv@Mark:10:52 @ And Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way.

rsv@Mark:11:1 @ And when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Beth'phage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

rsv@Mark:11:2 @ and said to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat; untie it and bring it.

rsv@Mark:11:3 @ If any one says to you, `Why are you doing this?' say, `The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.'"

rsv@Mark:11:4 @ And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door out in the open street; and they untied it.

rsv@Mark:11:5 @ And those who stood there said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

rsv@Mark:11:6 @ And they told them what Jesus had said; and they let them go.

rsv@Mark:11:7 @ And they brought the colt to Jesus, and threw their garments on it; and he sat upon it.

rsv@Mark:11:8 @ And many spread their garments on the road, and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.

rsv@Mark:11:9 @ And those who went before and those who followed cried out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

rsv@Mark:11:10 @ Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming! Hosanna in the highest!"

rsv@Mark:11:11 @ And he entered Jerusalem, and went into the temple; and when he had looked round at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

rsv@Mark:11:12 @ On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry.

rsv@Mark:11:13 @ And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

rsv@Mark:11:14 @ And he said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard it.

rsv@Mark:11:15 @ And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons;

rsv@Mark:11:16 @ and he would not allow any one to carry anything through the temple.

rsv@Mark:11:17 @ And he taught, and said to them, "Is it not written, `My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers."

rsv@Mark:11:18 @ And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and sought a way to destroy him; for they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

rsv@Mark:11:19 @ And when evening came they went out of the city.

rsv@Mark:11:20 @ As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.

rsv@Mark:11:21 @ And Peter remembered and said to him, "Master, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered."

rsv@Mark:11:22 @ And Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.

rsv@Mark:11:23 @ Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, `Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.

rsv@Mark:11:24 @ Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

rsv@Mark:11:25 @ And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against any one; so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

rsv@Mark:11:26 @ And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him,

rsv@Mark:11:27 @ and they said to him, "By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?"

rsv@Mark:11:28 @ Jesus said to them, "I will ask you a question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

rsv@Mark:11:29 @ Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men? Answer me."

rsv@Mark:11:30 @ And they argued with one another, "If we say, `From heaven,' he will say, `Why then did you not believe him?'

rsv@Mark:11:31 @ But shall we say, `From men'?"--they were afraid of the people, for all held that John was a real prophet.

rsv@Mark:11:32 @ So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

rsv@Mark:12:1 @ And he began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a pit for the wine press, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country.

rsv@Mark:12:2 @ When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.

rsv@Mark:12:3 @ And they took him and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

rsv@Mark:12:4 @ Again he sent to them another servant, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully.

rsv@Mark:12:5 @ And he sent another, and him they killed; and so with many others, some they beat and some they killed.

rsv@Mark:12:6 @ He had still one other, a beloved son; finally he sent him to them, saying, `They will respect my son.'

rsv@Mark:12:7 @ But those tenants said to one another, `This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'

rsv@Mark:12:8 @ And they took him and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

rsv@Mark:12:9 @ What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants, and give the vineyard to others.

rsv@Mark:12:10 @ Have you not read this scripture: `The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner;

rsv@Mark:12:11 @ this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?"

rsv@Mark:12:12 @ And they tried to arrest him, but feared the multitude, for they perceived that he had told the parable against them; so they left him and went away.

rsv@Mark:12:13 @ And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Hero'di-ans, to entrap him in his talk.

rsv@Mark:12:14 @ And they came and said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are true, and care for no man; for you do not regard the position of men, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

rsv@Mark:12:15 @ Should we pay them, or should we not?" But knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, "Why put me to the test? Bring me a coin, and let me look at it."

rsv@Mark:12:16 @ And they brought one. And he said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" They said to him, "Caesar's."

rsv@Mark:12:17 @ Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they were amazed at him.

rsv@Mark:12:18 @ And Sad'ducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him a question, saying,

rsv@Mark:12:19 @ "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the wife, and raise up children for his brother.

rsv@Mark:12:20 @ There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no children;

rsv@Mark:12:21 @ and the second took her, and died, leaving no children; and the third likewise;

rsv@Mark:12:22 @ and the seven left no children. Last of all the woman also died.

rsv@Mark:12:23 @ In the resurrection whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife."

rsv@Mark:12:24 @ Jesus said to them, "Is not this why you are wrong, that you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God?

rsv@Mark:12:25 @ For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

rsv@Mark:12:26 @ And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, `I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

rsv@Mark:12:27 @ He is not God of the dead, but of the living; you are quite wrong."

rsv@Mark:12:28 @ And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the first of all?"

rsv@Mark:12:29 @ Jesus answered, "The first is, `Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one;

rsv@Mark:12:30 @ and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.'

rsv@Mark:12:31 @ The second is this, `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

rsv@Mark:12:32 @ And the scribe said to him, "You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that he is one, and there is no other but he;

rsv@Mark:12:33 @ and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

rsv@Mark:12:34 @ And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And after that no one dared to ask him any question.

rsv@Mark:12:35 @ And as Jesus taught in the temple, he said, "How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

rsv@Mark:12:36 @ David himself, inspired by the Holy Spirit, declared, `The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put thy enemies under thy feet.'

rsv@Mark:12:37 @ David himself calls him Lord; so how is he his son?" And the great throng heard him gladly.

rsv@Mark:12:38 @ And in his teaching he said, "Beware of the scribes, who like to go about in long robes, and to have salutations in the market places

rsv@Mark:12:39 @ and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,

rsv@Mark:12:40 @ who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."

rsv@Mark:12:41 @ And he sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the multitude putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums.

rsv@Mark:12:42 @ And a poor widow came, and put in two copper coins, which make a penny.

rsv@Mark:12:43 @ And he called his disciples to him, and said to them, "Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury.

rsv@Mark:12:44 @ For they all contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, her whole living."

rsv@Mark:13:1 @ And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!"

rsv@Mark:13:2 @ And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down."

rsv@Mark:13:3 @ And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

rsv@Mark:13:4 @ "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign when these things are all to be accomplished?"

rsv@Mark:13:5 @ And Jesus began to say to them, "Take heed that no one leads you astray.

rsv@Mark:13:6 @ Many will come in my name, saying, `I am he!' and they will lead many astray.

rsv@Mark:13:7 @ And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is not yet.

rsv@Mark:13:8 @ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places, there will be famines; this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs.

rsv@Mark:13:9 @ "But take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to councils; and you will be beaten in synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them.

rsv@Mark:13:10 @ And the gospel must first be preached to all nations.

rsv@Mark:13:11 @ And when they bring you to trial and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say; but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

rsv@Mark:13:12 @ And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death;

rsv@Mark:13:13 @ and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

rsv@Mark:13:14 @ "But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains;

rsv@Mark:13:15 @ let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter his house, to take anything away;

rsv@Mark:13:16 @ and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle.

rsv@Mark:13:17 @ And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days!

rsv@Mark:13:18 @ Pray that it may not happen in winter.

rsv@Mark:13:19 @ For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

rsv@Mark:13:20 @ And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days.

rsv@Mark:13:21 @ And then if any one says to you, `Look, here is the Christ!' or `Look, there he is!' do not believe it.

rsv@Mark:13:22 @ False Christs and false prophets will arise and show signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect.

rsv@Mark:13:23 @ But take heed; I have told you all things beforehand.

rsv@Mark:13:24 @ "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,

rsv@Mark:13:25 @ and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

rsv@Mark:13:26 @ And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

rsv@Mark:13:27 @ And then he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.

rsv@Mark:13:28 @ "From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.

rsv@Mark:13:29 @ So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates.

rsv@Mark:13:30 @ Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away before all these things take place.

rsv@Mark:13:31 @ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

rsv@Mark:13:32 @ "But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

rsv@Mark:13:33 @ Take heed, watch; for you do not know when the time will come.

rsv@Mark:13:34 @ It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch.

rsv@Mark:13:35 @ Watch therefore--for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning--

rsv@Mark:13:36 @ lest he come suddenly and find you asleep.

rsv@Mark:13:37 @ And what I say to you I say to all: Watch."

rsv@Mark:14:1 @ It was now two days before the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest him by stealth, and kill him;

rsv@Mark:14:2 @ for they said, "Not during the feast, lest there be a tumult of the people."

rsv@Mark:14:3 @ And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head.

rsv@Mark:14:4 @ But there were some who said to themselves indignantly, "Why was the ointment thus wasted?

rsv@Mark:14:5 @ For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor." And they reproached her.

rsv@Mark:14:6 @ But Jesus said, "Let her alone; why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

rsv@Mark:14:7 @ For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you will, you can do good to them; but you will not always have me.

rsv@Mark:14:8 @ She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burying.

rsv@Mark:14:9 @ And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her."

rsv@Mark:14:10 @ Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order to betray him to them.

rsv@Mark:14:11 @ And when they heard it they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought an opportunity to betray him.

rsv@Mark:14:12 @ And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the passover lamb, his disciples said to him, "Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the passover?"

rsv@Mark:14:13 @ And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him,

rsv@Mark:14:14 @ and wherever he enters, say to the householder, `The Teacher says, Where is my guest room, where I am to eat the passover with my disciples?'

rsv@Mark:14:15 @ And he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us."

rsv@Mark:14:16 @ And the disciples set out and went to the city, and found it as he had told them; and they prepared the passover.

rsv@Mark:14:17 @ And when it was evening he came with the twelve.

rsv@Mark:14:18 @ And as they were at table eating, Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me."

rsv@Mark:14:19 @ They began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one after another, "Is it I?"

rsv@Mark:14:20 @ He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread into the dish with me.

rsv@Mark:14:21 @ For the Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."

rsv@Mark:14:22 @ And as they were eating, he took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take; this is my body."

rsv@Mark:14:23 @ And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it.

rsv@Mark:14:24 @ And he said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

rsv@Mark:14:25 @ Truly, I say to you, I shall not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

rsv@Mark:14:26 @ And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

rsv@Mark:14:27 @ And Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away; for it is written, `I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'

rsv@Mark:14:28 @ But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee."

rsv@Mark:14:29 @ Peter said to him, "Even though they all fall away, I will not."

rsv@Mark:14:30 @ And Jesus said to him, "Truly, I say to you, this very night, before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times."

rsv@Mark:14:31 @ But he said vehemently, "If I must die with you, I will not deny you." And they all said the same.

rsv@Mark:14:32 @ And they went to a place which was called Gethsem'ane; and he said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."

rsv@Mark:14:33 @ And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled.

rsv@Mark:14:34 @ And he said to them, "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch."

rsv@Mark:14:35 @ And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

rsv@Mark:14:36 @ And he said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; remove this cup from me; yet not what I will, but what thou wilt."

rsv@Mark:14:37 @ And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?

rsv@Mark:14:38 @ Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

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

rsv@Mark:14:40 @ And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer him.

rsv@Mark:14:41 @ And he came the third time, and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come; the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

rsv@Mark:14:42 @ Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand."

rsv@Mark:14:43 @ And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

rsv@Mark:14:44 @ Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I shall kiss is the man; seize him and lead him away under guard."

rsv@Mark:14:45 @ And when he came, he went up to him at once, and said, "Master!" And he kissed him.

rsv@Mark:14:46 @ And they laid hands on him and seized him.

rsv@Mark:14:47 @ But one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.

rsv@Mark:14:48 @ And Jesus said to them, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me?

rsv@Mark:14:49 @ Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the scriptures be fulfilled."

rsv@Mark:14:50 @ And they all forsook him, and fled.

rsv@Mark:14:51 @ And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body; and they seized him,

rsv@Mark:14:52 @ but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.

rsv@Mark:14:53 @ And they led Jesus to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes were assembled.

rsv@Mark:14:54 @ And Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the guards, and warming himself at the fire.

rsv@Mark:14:55 @ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus to put him to death; but they found none.

rsv@Mark:14:56 @ For many bore false witness against him, and their witness did not agree.

rsv@Mark:14:57 @ And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying,

rsv@Mark:14:58 @ "We heard him say, `I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.'"

rsv@Mark:14:59 @ Yet not even so did their testimony agree.

rsv@Mark:14:60 @ And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?"

rsv@Mark:14:61 @ But he was silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

rsv@Mark:14:62 @ And Jesus said, "I am; and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."

rsv@Mark:14:63 @ And the high priest tore his garments, and said, "Why do we still need witnesses?

rsv@Mark:14:64 @ You have heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?" And they all condemned him as deserving death.

rsv@Mark:14:65 @ And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to strike him, saying to him, "Prophesy!" And the guards received him with blows.

rsv@Mark:14:66 @ And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the maids of the high priest came;

rsv@Mark:14:67 @ and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus."

rsv@Mark:14:68 @ But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you mean." And he went out into the gateway.

rsv@Mark:14:69 @ And the maid saw him, and began again to say to the bystanders, "This man is one of them."

rsv@Mark:14:70 @ But again he denied it. And after a little while again the bystanders said to Peter, "Certainly you are one of them; for you are a Galilean."

rsv@Mark:14:71 @ But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, "I do not know this man of whom you speak."

rsv@Mark:14:72 @ And immediately the cock crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, "Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times." And he broke down and wept.

rsv@Mark:15:1 @ And as soon as it was morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council held a consultation; and they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him to Pilate.

rsv@Mark:15:2 @ And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so."

rsv@Mark:15:3 @ And the chief priests accused him of many things.

rsv@Mark:15:4 @ And Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you."

rsv@Mark:15:5 @ But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate wondered.

rsv@Mark:15:6 @ Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked.

rsv@Mark:15:7 @ And among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barab'bas.

rsv@Mark:15:8 @ And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he was wont to do for them.

rsv@Mark:15:9 @ And he answered them, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"

rsv@Mark:15:10 @ For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up.

rsv@Mark:15:11 @ But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barab'bas instead.

rsv@Mark:15:12 @ And Pilate again said to them, "Then what shall I do with the man whom you call the King of the Jews?"

rsv@Mark:15:13 @ And they cried out again, "Crucify him."

rsv@Mark:15:14 @ And Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify him."

rsv@Mark:15:15 @ So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barab'bas; and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

rsv@Mark:15:16 @ And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the praetorium); and they called together the whole battalion.

rsv@Mark:15:17 @ And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on him.

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

rsv@Mark:15:19 @ And they struck his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and they knelt down in homage to him.

rsv@Mark:15:20 @ And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak, and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him.

rsv@Mark:15:21 @ And they compelled a passer-by, Simon of Cyre'ne, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.

rsv@Mark:15:22 @ And they brought him to the place called Gol'gotha (which means the place of a skull).

rsv@Mark:15:23 @ And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh; but he did not take it.

rsv@Mark:15:24 @ And they crucified him, and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take.

rsv@Mark:15:25 @ And it was the third hour, when they crucified him.

rsv@Mark:15:26 @ And the inscription of the charge against him read, "The King of the Jews."

rsv@Mark:15:27 @ And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.

rsv@Mark:15:28 @ And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days,

rsv@Mark:15:29 @ save yourself, and come down from the cross!"

rsv@Mark:15:30 @ So also the chief priests mocked him to one another with the scribes, saying, "He saved others; he cannot save himself.

rsv@Mark:15:31 @ Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

rsv@Mark:15:32 @ And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

rsv@Mark:15:33 @ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "E'lo-i, E'lo-i, la'ma sabach-tha'ni?" which means, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

rsv@Mark:15:34 @ And some of the bystanders hearing it said, "Behold, he is calling Eli'jah."

rsv@Mark:15:35 @ And one ran and, filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Eli'jah will come to take him down."

rsv@Mark:15:36 @ And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed his last.

rsv@Mark:15:37 @ And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.

rsv@Mark:15:38 @ And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that he thus breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

rsv@Mark:15:39 @ There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Mag'dalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salo'me,

rsv@Mark:15:40 @ who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered to him; and also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

rsv@Mark:15:41 @ And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

rsv@Mark:15:42 @ Joseph of Arimathe'a, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

rsv@Mark:15:43 @ And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead.

rsv@Mark:15:44 @ And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph.

rsv@Mark:15:45 @ And he bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

rsv@Mark:15:46 @ Mary Mag'dalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.

rsv@Mark:16:1 @ And when the sabbath was past, Mary Mag'dalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salo'me, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.

rsv@Mark:16:2 @ And very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun had risen.

rsv@Mark:16:3 @ And they were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?"

rsv@Mark:16:4 @ And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; --it was very large.

rsv@Mark:16:5 @ And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed.

rsv@Mark:16:6 @ And he said to them, "Do not be amazed; you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen, he is not here; see the place where they laid him.

rsv@Mark:16:7 @ But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you."

rsv@Mark:16:8 @ And they went out and fled from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment had come upon them; and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.

rsv@Mark:16:9 @ Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.

rsv@Mark:16:10 @ She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

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

rsv@Mark:16:12 @ After this he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country.

rsv@Mark:16:13 @ And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.

rsv@Mark:16:14 @ Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they sat at table; and he upbraided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen.

rsv@Mark:16:15 @ And he said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.

rsv@Mark:16:16 @ He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

rsv@Mark:16:17 @ And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

rsv@Mark:16:18 @ they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover."

rsv@Mark:16:19 @ So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

rsv@Mark:16:20 @ And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it. Amen.

rsv@Luke:1:1 @ Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been accomplished among us,

rsv@Luke:1:5 @ In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechari'ah, of the division of Abi'jah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

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

rsv@Luke:1:11 @ And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

rsv@Luke:1:12 @ And Zechari'ah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.

rsv@Luke:1:13 @ But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechari'ah, for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

rsv@Luke:1:17 @ and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Eli'jah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared."

rsv@Luke:1:18 @ And Zechari'ah said to the angel, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years."

rsv@Luke:1:21 @ And the people were waiting for Zechari'ah, and they wondered at his delay in the temple.

rsv@Luke:1:26 @ In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

rsv@Luke:1:27 @ to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

rsv@Luke:1:30 @ And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

rsv@Luke:1:31 @ And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.

rsv@Luke:1:34 @ And Mary said to the angel, "How shall this be, since I have no husband?"

rsv@Luke:1:36 @ And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

rsv@Luke:1:38 @ And Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.

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

rsv@Luke:1:40 @ and she entered the house of Zechari'ah and greeted Elizabeth.

rsv@Luke:1:41 @ And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit

rsv@Luke:1:42 @ and she exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

rsv@Luke:1:44 @ For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.

rsv@Luke:1:46 @ And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord,

rsv@Luke:1:48 @ for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed;

rsv@Luke:1:50 @ And his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation.

rsv@Luke:1:51 @ He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts,

rsv@Luke:1:56 @ And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her home.

rsv@Luke:1:58 @ And her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.

rsv@Luke:1:59 @ And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they would have named him Zechari'ah after his father,

rsv@Luke:1:63 @ And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they all marveled.

rsv@Luke:1:65 @ And fear came on all their neighbors. And all these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea;

rsv@Luke:1:66 @ and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, "What then will this child be?" For the hand of the Lord was with him.

rsv@Luke:1:67 @ And his father Zechari'ah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,

rsv@Luke:1:74 @ to grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear,

rsv@Luke:1:76 @ And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,

rsv@Luke:1:79 @ to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."

rsv@Luke:2:1 @ In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.

rsv@Luke:2:4 @ And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,

rsv@Luke:2:5 @ to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.

rsv@Luke:2:9 @ And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear.

rsv@Luke:2:14 @ "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!"

rsv@Luke:2:16 @ And they went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

rsv@Luke:2:18 @ and all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them.

rsv@Luke:2:19 @ But Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart.

rsv@Luke:2:20 @ And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

rsv@Luke:2:27 @ And inspired by the Spirit he came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,

rsv@Luke:2:28 @ he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,

rsv@Luke:2:29 @ "Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;

rsv@Luke:2:31 @ which thou hast prepared in the presence of all peoples,

rsv@Luke:2:33 @ And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him;

rsv@Luke:2:34 @ and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, "Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against

rsv@Luke:2:35 @ (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed."

rsv@Luke:2:36 @ And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phan'u-el, of the tribe of Asher; she was of a great age, having lived with her husband seven years from her virginity,

rsv@Luke:2:37 @ and as a widow till she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day.

rsv@Luke:2:39 @ And when they had performed everything according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.

rsv@Luke:2:41 @ Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover.

rsv@Luke:2:42 @ And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom;

rsv@Luke:2:43 @ and when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it,

rsv@Luke:2:47 @ and all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.

rsv@Luke:2:51 @ And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart.

rsv@Luke:3:1 @ In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiber'i-us Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Iturae'a and Trachoni'tis, and Lysa'ni-as tetrarch of Abile'ne,

rsv@Luke:3:2 @ in the high-priesthood of Annas and Ca'iaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechari'ah in the wilderness;

rsv@Luke:3:4 @ As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

rsv@Luke:3:7 @ He said therefore to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

rsv@Luke:3:8 @ Bear fruits that befit repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, `We have Abraham as our father'; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

rsv@Luke:3:9 @ Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."

rsv@Luke:3:11 @ And he answered them, "He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise."

rsv@Luke:3:15 @ As the people were in expectation, and all men questioned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he were the Christ,

rsv@Luke:3:17 @ His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."

rsv@Luke:3:19 @ But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him for Hero'di-as, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things that Herod had done,

rsv@Luke:3:22 @ and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form, as a dove, and a voice came from heaven, "Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased."

rsv@Luke:3:23 @ Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

rsv@Luke:4:3 @ The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."

rsv@Luke:4:9 @ And he took him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here;

rsv@Luke:4:10 @ for it is written, `He will give his angels charge of you, to guard you,'

rsv@Luke:4:11 @ and `On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.'"

rsv@Luke:4:13 @ And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.

rsv@Luke:4:16 @ And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and he went to the synagogue, as his custom was, on the sabbath day. And he stood up to read;

rsv@Luke:4:18 @ "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed,

rsv@Luke:4:19 @ to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

rsv@Luke:4:21 @ And he began to say to them, "Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."

rsv@Luke:4:23 @ And he said to them, "Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, `Physician, heal yourself; what we have heard you did at Caper'na-um, do here also in your own country.'"

rsv@Luke:4:25 @ But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Eli'jah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land;

rsv@Luke:4:26 @ and Eli'jah was sent to none of them but only to Zar'ephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

rsv@Luke:4:28 @ When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath.

rsv@Luke:4:34 @ "Ah! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God."

rsv@Luke:4:35 @ But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!" And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.

rsv@Luke:4:38 @ And he arose and left the synagogue, and entered Simon's house. Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they besought him for her.

rsv@Luke:4:40 @ Now 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.

rsv@Luke:4:41 @ And demons also came out of many, crying, "You are the Son of God!" But he rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

rsv@Luke:4:42 @ And when it was day he departed and went into a lonely place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them;

rsv@Luke:5:1 @ While the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennes'aret.

rsv@Luke:5:7 @ they beckoned 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.

rsv@Luke:5:8 @ But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord."

rsv@Luke:5:10 @ and so also were James and John, sons of Zeb'edee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; henceforth you will be catching men."

rsv@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 Moses commanded, for a proof to the people."

rsv@Luke:5:15 @ But so much the more the report went abroad concerning him; and great multitudes gathered to hear and to be healed of their infirmities.

rsv@Luke:5:17 @ On one of those days, as he was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.

rsv@Luke:5:18 @ And behold, men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they sought to bring him in and lay him before Jesus;

rsv@Luke:5:20 @ And when he saw their faith he said, "Man, your sins are forgiven you."

rsv@Luke:5:21 @ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, "Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God only?"

rsv@Luke:5:22 @ When Jesus perceived their questionings, he answered them, "Why do you question in your hearts?

rsv@Luke:5:23 @ Which is easier, to say, `Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, `Rise and walk'?

rsv@Luke:5:24 @ But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--he said to the man who was paralyzed--"I say to you, rise, take up your bed and go home."

rsv@Luke:5:29 @ And Levi made him a great feast in his house; and there was a large company of tax collectors and others sitting at table with them.

rsv@Luke:5:30 @ And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

rsv@Luke:5:31 @ And Jesus answered them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick;

rsv@Luke:5:33 @ And they said to him, "The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink."

rsv@Luke:5:36 @ He told them a parable also: "No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it upon an old garment; if he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.

rsv@Luke:6:2 @ But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the sabbath?"

rsv@Luke:6:7 @ And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against him.

rsv@Luke:6:9 @ And Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?"

rsv@Luke:6:10 @ And he looked around on them all, and said to him, "Stretch out your hand." And he did so, and his hand was restored.

rsv@Luke:7:3 @ When he heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his slave.

rsv@Luke:7:4 @ And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy to have you do this for him,

rsv@Luke:7:6 @ And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof;

rsv@Luke:7:9 @ When Jesus heard this he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude that followed him, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith."

rsv@Luke:7:11 @ Soon afterward he went to a city called Na'in, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him.

rsv@Luke:7:12 @ As he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large crowd from the city was with her.

rsv@Luke:7:14 @ And he came and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, arise."

rsv@Luke:7:16 @ Fear seized them all; and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and "God has visited his people!"

rsv@Luke:7:19 @ And John, calling to him two of his disciples, sent them to the Lord, saying, "Are you he who is to come, or shall we look for another?"

rsv@Luke:7:20 @ And when the men had come to him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, `Are you he who is to come, or shall we look for another?'"

rsv@Luke:7:22 @ And he answered them, "Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them.

rsv@Luke:7:25 @ What then did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings' courts.

rsv@Luke:7:27 @ This is he of whom it is written, `Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.'

rsv@Luke:7:29 @ (When they heard this all the people and the tax collectors justified God, having been baptized with the baptism of John;

rsv@Luke:7:30 @ but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.)

rsv@Luke:7:31 @ "To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?

rsv@Luke:7:32 @ They are like children sitting in the market place and calling to one another, `We piped to you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not weep.'

rsv@Luke:7:36 @ One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house, and took his place at table.

rsv@Luke:7:37 @ And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment,

rsv@Luke:7:38 @ and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

rsv@Luke:7:39 @ Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner."

rsv@Luke:7:41 @ "A certain creditor had two debtors; one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

rsv@Luke:7:44 @ Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house, you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

rsv@Luke:7:47 @ Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little."

rsv@Luke:7:48 @ And he said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."

rsv@Luke:8:1 @ Soon afterward he went on through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him,

rsv@Luke:8:2 @ and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Mag'dalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

rsv@Luke:8:3 @ and Joan'na, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means.

rsv@Luke:8:4 @ And when a great crowd came together and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable:

rsv@Luke:8:8 @ And some fell into good soil and grew, and yielded a hundredfold." As he said this, he called out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

rsv@Luke:8:9 @ And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant,

rsv@Luke:8:10 @ he said, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but for others they are in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

rsv@Luke:8:11 @ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

rsv@Luke:8:12 @ The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, that they may not believe and be saved.

rsv@Luke:8:13 @ And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy; but these have no root, they believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away.

rsv@Luke:8:14 @ And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature.

rsv@Luke:8:15 @ And as for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bring forth fruit with patience.

rsv@Luke:8:18 @ Take heed then how you hear; for to him who has will more be given, and from him who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away."

rsv@Luke:8:20 @ And he was told, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you."

rsv@Luke:8:21 @ But he said to them, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it."

rsv@Luke:8:24 @ And they went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; and they ceased, and there was a calm.

rsv@Luke:8:25 @ He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, "Who then is this, that he commands even wind and water, and they obey him?"

rsv@Luke:8:26 @ Then they arrived at the country of the Ger'asenes, which is opposite Galilee.

rsv@Luke:8:29 @ For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him; he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters, but he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the desert.)

rsv@Luke:8:31 @ And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss.

rsv@Luke:8:32 @ Now a large herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside; and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them leave.

rsv@Luke:8:37 @ Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Ger'asenes asked him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear; so he got into the boat and returned.

rsv@Luke:8:39 @ "Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you." And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.

rsv@Luke:8:42 @ for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. As he went, the people pressed round him.

rsv@Luke:8:43 @ And a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years and could not be healed by any one,

rsv@Luke:8:44 @ came up behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her flow of blood ceased.

rsv@Luke:8:47 @ And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.

rsv@Luke:8:50 @ But Jesus on hearing this answered him, "Do not fear; only believe, and she shall be well."

rsv@Luke:8:54 @ But taking her by the hand he called, saying, "Child, arise."

rsv@Luke:8:56 @ And her parents were amazed; but he charged them to tell no one what had happened.

rsv@Luke:9:4 @ And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart.

rsv@Luke:9:6 @ And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

rsv@Luke:9:7 @ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,

rsv@Luke:9:8 @ by some that Eli'jah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen.

rsv@Luke:9:9 @ Herod said, "John I beheaded; but who is this about whom I hear such things?" And he sought to see him.

rsv@Luke:9:10 @ On their return the apostles told him what they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart to a city called Beth-sa'ida.

rsv@Luke:9:11 @ When the crowds learned it, they followed him; and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and cured those who had need of healing.

rsv@Luke:9:12 @ Now the day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, "Send the crowd away, to go into the villages and country round about, to lodge and get provisions; for we are here in a lonely place."

rsv@Luke:9:13 @ But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish--unless we are to go and buy food for all these people."

rsv@Luke:9:21 @ But he charged and commanded them to tell this to no one,

rsv@Luke:9:27 @ But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God."

rsv@Luke:9:29 @ And as he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became dazzling white.

rsv@Luke:9:31 @ who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem.

rsv@Luke:9:33 @ And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah"--not knowing what he said.

rsv@Luke:9:39 @ and behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him till he foams, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him.

rsv@Luke:9:41 @ Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here."

rsv@Luke:9:43 @ And all were astonished at the majesty of God. But while they were all marveling at everything he did, he said to his disciples,

rsv@Luke:9:44 @ "Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men."

rsv@Luke:9:46 @ And an argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest.

rsv@Luke:9:47 @ But when Jesus perceived the thought of their hearts, he took a child and put him by his side,

rsv@Luke:9:51 @ When the days drew near for him to be received up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.

rsv@Luke:9:52 @ And he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him;

rsv@Luke:9:53 @ but the people would not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem.

rsv@Luke:9:61 @ Another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home."

rsv@Luke:10:20 @ Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

rsv@Luke:10:21 @ In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will.

rsv@Luke:10:23 @ Then turning to the disciples he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see what you see!

rsv@Luke:10:24 @ For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it."

rsv@Luke:10:35 @ And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, `Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.'

rsv@Luke:10:38 @ Now as they went on their way, he entered a village; and a woman named Martha received him into her house.

rsv@Luke:10:39 @ And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching.

rsv@Luke:16:4 @ I have decided what to do, so that people may receive me into their houses when I am put out of the stewardship.'

rsv@Luke:16:8 @ The master commended the dishonest steward for his shrewdness; for the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.

rsv@Luke:16:14 @ The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all this, and they scoffed at him.

rsv@Luke:16:15 @ But he said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

rsv@Luke:16:22 @ The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried;

rsv@Luke:16:23 @ and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far off and Laz'arus in his bosom.

rsv@Luke:16:24 @ And he called out, `Father Abraham, have mercy upon me, and send Laz'arus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.'

rsv@Luke:16:25 @ But Abraham said, `Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Laz'arus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.

rsv@Luke:16:28 @ for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.'

rsv@Luke:16:29 @ But Abraham said, `They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.'

rsv@Luke:16:31 @ He said to him, `If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if some one should rise from the dead.'"

rsv@Luke:17:6 @ And the Lord said, "If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this sycamine tree, `Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

rsv@Luke:17:8 @ Will he not rather say to him, `Prepare supper for me, and gird yourself and serve me, till I eat and drink; and afterward you shall eat and drink'?

rsv@Luke:17:10 @ So you also, when you have done all that is commanded you, say, `We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.'"

rsv@Luke:17:16 @ and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan.

rsv@Luke:17:17 @ Then said Jesus, "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?

rsv@Luke:17:20 @ Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them, "The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed;

rsv@Luke:17:27 @ They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

rsv@Luke:18:1 @ And he told them a parable, to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.

rsv@Luke:18:2 @ He said, "In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor regarded man;

rsv@Luke:18:3 @ and there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, `Vindicate me against my adversary.'

rsv@Luke:18:4 @ For a while he refused; but afterward he said to himself, `Though I neither fear God nor regard man,

rsv@Luke:18:5 @ yet because this widow bothers me, I will vindicate her, or she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"

rsv@Luke:18:6 @ And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge says.

rsv@Luke:18:8 @ I tell you, he will vindicate them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?"

rsv@Luke:18:9 @ He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others:

rsv@Luke:18:10 @ "Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

rsv@Luke:18:11 @ The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, `God, I thank thee that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

rsv@Luke:18:13 @ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, `God, be merciful to me a sinner!'

rsv@Luke:18:20 @ You know the commandments: `Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.'"

rsv@Luke:18:22 @ And when Jesus heard it, he said to him, "One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

rsv@Luke:18:23 @ But when he heard this he became sad, for he was very rich.

rsv@Luke:18:24 @ Jesus looking at him said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!

rsv@Luke:18:26 @ Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"

rsv@Luke:18:29 @ And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there is no man who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

rsv@Luke:18:31 @ And taking the twelve, he said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written of the Son of man by the prophets will be accomplished.

rsv@Luke:18:35 @ As he drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging;

rsv@Luke:18:36 @ and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant.

rsv@Luke:18:37 @ They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by."

rsv@Luke:18:40 @ And Jesus stopped, and commanded him to be brought to him; and when he came near, he asked him,

rsv@Luke:19:11 @ As they heard these things, he proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately.

rsv@Luke:19:12 @ He said therefore, "A nobleman went into a far country to receive a kingdom and then return.

rsv@Luke:19:19 @ And he said to him, `And you are to be over five cities.'

rsv@Luke:19:21 @ for I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man; you take up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.'

rsv@Luke:19:29 @ When he drew near to Beth'phage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,

rsv@Luke:19:31 @ If any one asks you, `Why are you untying it?' you shall say this, `The Lord has need of it.'"

rsv@Luke:19:33 @ And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"

rsv@Luke:19:35 @ And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their garments on the colt they set Jesus upon it.

rsv@Luke:19:36 @ And as he rode along, they spread their garments on the road.

rsv@Luke:19:37 @ As he was now drawing near, at 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 that they had seen,

rsv@Luke:19:39 @ And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."

rsv@Luke:19:41 @ And when he drew near and saw the city he wept over it,

rsv@Luke:19:42 @ saying, "Would that even today you knew the things that make for peace! But now they are hid from your eyes.

rsv@Luke:20:6 @ But if we say, `From men,' all the people will stone us; for they are convinced that John was a prophet."

rsv@Luke:20:9 @ And he began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country for a long while.

rsv@Luke:20:10 @ When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, that they should give him some of the fruit of the vineyard; but the tenants beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

rsv@Luke:20:13 @ Then the owner of the vineyard said, `What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will respect him.'

rsv@Luke:20:15 @ And they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

rsv@Luke:20:16 @ He will come and destroy those tenants, and give the vineyard to others." When they heard this, they said, "God forbid!"

rsv@Luke:20:19 @ The scribes and the chief priests tried to lay hands on him at that very hour, but they feared the people; for they perceived that he had told this parable against them.

rsv@Luke:20:21 @ They asked him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and show no partiality, but truly teach the way of God.

rsv@Luke:20:22 @ Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?"

rsv@Luke:20:24 @ "Show me a coin. Whose likeness and inscription has it?" They said, "Caesar's."

rsv@Luke:20:25 @ He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

rsv@Luke:20:26 @ And they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him by what he said; but marveling at his answer they were silent.

rsv@Luke:20:32 @ Afterward the woman also died.

rsv@Luke:20:34 @ And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage;

rsv@Luke:20:35 @ but those who are accounted worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,

rsv@Luke:20:36 @ for they cannot die any more, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

rsv@Luke:20:37 @ But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

rsv@Luke:20:40 @ For they no longer dared to ask him any question.

rsv@Luke:20:45 @ And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,

rsv@Luke:20:46 @ "Beware of the scribes, who like to go about in long robes, and love salutations in the market places and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,

rsv@Luke:21:11 @ there will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

rsv@Luke:21:13 @ This will be a time for you to bear testimony.

rsv@Luke:22:3 @ Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve;

rsv@Luke:22:13 @ And they went, and found it as he had told them; and they prepared the passover.

rsv@Luke:22:45 @ While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him;

rsv@Luke:23:1 @ Then the whole company of them arose, and brought him before Pilate.

rsv@Luke:23:2 @ And they began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king."

rsv@Luke:23:3 @ And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so."

rsv@Luke:23:6 @ When Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.

rsv@John:4:9 @ The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samar'ia?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

rsv@John:4:12 @ Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?"

rsv@John:4:17 @ The woman answered him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, `I have no husband';

rsv@John:4:19 @ The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

rsv@John:4:27 @ Just then his disciples came. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but none said, "What do you wish?" or, "Why are you talking with her?"

rsv@John:4:28 @ So the woman left her water jar, and went away into the city, and said to the people,

rsv@John:4:35 @ Do you not say, `There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see how the fields are already white for harvest.

rsv@John:4:39 @ Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me all that I ever did."

rsv@John:4:40 @ So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days.

rsv@John:4:42 @ They said to the woman, "It is no longer because of your words that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world."

rsv@John:4:43 @ After the two days he departed to Galilee.

rsv@John:4:47 @ When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

rsv@John:5:3 @ In these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, paralyzed.

rsv@John:5:4 @ One man was there, who had been ill for thirty-eight years.

rsv@John:5:9 @ So the Jews said to the man who was cured, "It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry your pallet."

rsv@John:5:13 @ Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse befall you."

rsv@John:5:19 @ For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself is doing; and greater works than these will he show him, that you may marvel.

rsv@John:5:23 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

rsv@John:5:24 @ "Truly, truly, 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.

rsv@John:5:27 @ Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

rsv@John:5:29 @ "I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

rsv@John:5:30 @ If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true;

rsv@John:5:31 @ there is another who bears witness to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is true.

rsv@John:5:35 @ But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear me witness that the Father has sent me.

rsv@John:5:36 @ And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen;

rsv@John:5:38 @ You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me;

rsv@John:6:5 @ Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a multitude was coming to him, Jesus said to Philip, "How are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?"

rsv@John:6:7 @ Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little."

rsv@John:6:9 @ "There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what are they among so many?"

rsv@John:6:13 @ So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten.

rsv@John:6:17 @ got into a boat, and started across the sea to Caper'na-um. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

rsv@John:6:19 @ When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat. They were frightened,

rsv@John:6:23 @ However, boats from Tiber'i-as came near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

rsv@John:6:45 @ It is written in the prophets, `And they shall all be taught by God.' Every one who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.

rsv@John:6:60 @ Many of his disciples, when they heard it, said, "This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?"

rsv@John:6:63 @ It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

rsv@John:6:64 @ But there are some of you that do not believe." For Jesus knew from the first who those were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him.

rsv@John:6:69 @ and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God."

rsv@John:6:71 @ He spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was to betray him.

rsv@John:7:3 @ So his brothers said to him, "Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples may see the works you are doing.

rsv@John:7:7 @ The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify of it that its works are evil.

rsv@John:7:13 @ Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of him.

rsv@John:7:15 @ The Jews marveled at it, saying, "How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?"

rsv@John:7:21 @ Jesus answered them, "I did one deed, and you all marvel at it.

rsv@John:7:23 @ If on the sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the sabbath I made a man's whole body well?

rsv@John:7:24 @ Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."

rsv@John:7:27 @ Yet we know where this man comes from; and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from."

rsv@John:7:30 @ So they sought to arrest him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.

rsv@John:7:31 @ Yet many of the people believed in him; they said, "When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?"

rsv@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the crowd thus muttering about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

rsv@John:7:38 @ He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, `Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.'"

rsv@John:7:40 @ When they heard these words, some of the people said, "This is really the prophet."

rsv@John:7:44 @ Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.

rsv@John:7:45 @ The officers then went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"

rsv@John:7:47 @ The Pharisees answered them, "Are you led astray, you also?

rsv@John:7:48 @ Have any of the authorities or of the Pharisees believed in him?

rsv@John:7:49 @ But this crowd, who do not know the law, are accursed."

rsv@John:7:51 @ "Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does?"

rsv@John:7:52 @ They replied, "Are you from Galilee too? Search and you will see that no prophet is to rise from Galilee."

rsv@John:8:2 @ Early in the morning he came again to the temple; all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.

rsv@John:8:3 @ The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst

rsv@John:8:6 @ This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.

rsv@John:8:9 @ But when they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.

rsv@John:8:10 @ Jesus looked up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"

rsv@John:8:12 @ Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

rsv@John:8:13 @ The Pharisees then said to him, "You are bearing witness to yourself; your testimony is not true."

rsv@John:8:14 @ Jesus answered, "Even if I do bear witness to myself, my testimony is true, for I know whence I have come and whither I am going, but you do not know whence I come or whither I am going.

rsv@John:8:18 @ I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me."

rsv@John:8:20 @ These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

rsv@John:8:23 @ He said to them, "You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.

rsv@John:8:25 @ They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Even what I have told you from the beginning.

rsv@John:8:26 @ I have much to say about you and much to judge; but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him."

rsv@John:8:31 @ Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples,

rsv@John:8:33 @ They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham, and have never been in bondage to any one. How is it that you say, `You will be made free'?"

rsv@John:8:37 @ I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

rsv@John:8:38 @ I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father."

rsv@John:8:40 @ but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God; this is not what Abraham did.

rsv@John:8:43 @ Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word.

rsv@John:8:44 @ You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

rsv@John:8:47 @ He who is of God hears the words of God; the reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God."

rsv@John:8:48 @ The Jews answered him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

rsv@John:8:53 @ Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you claim to be?"

rsv@John:8:55 @ But you have not known him; I know him. If I said, I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I do know him and I keep his word.

rsv@John:8:57 @ The Jews then said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"

rsv@John:9:2 @ And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

rsv@John:9:3 @ Jesus answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.

rsv@John:9:8 @ The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar, said, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"

rsv@John:9:13 @ They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind.

rsv@John:9:15 @ The Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."

rsv@John:9:16 @ Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was a division among them.

rsv@John:9:18 @ The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight,

rsv@John:9:20 @ His parents answered, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

rsv@John:9:22 @ His parents said this because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one should confess him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.

rsv@John:9:23 @ Therefore his parents said, "He is of age, ask him."

rsv@John:9:27 @ He answered them, "I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you too want to become his disciples?"

rsv@John:9:28 @ And they reviled him, saying, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

rsv@John:9:30 @ The man answered, "Why, this is a marvel! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes.

rsv@John:9:32 @ Never since the world began has it been heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

rsv@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him he said, "Do you believe in the Son of man?"

rsv@John:9:40 @ Some of the Pharisees near him heard this, and they said to him, "Are we also blind?"

rsv@John:10:3 @ To him the gatekeeper opens; the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

rsv@John:10:8 @ All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not heed them.

rsv@John:10:12 @ He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.

rsv@John:10:13 @ He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep.

rsv@John:10:16 @ And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd.

rsv@John:10:18 @ No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this charge I have received from my Father."

rsv@John:10:21 @ Others said, "These are not the sayings of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"

rsv@John:10:24 @ So the Jews gathered round him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."

rsv@John:10:25 @ Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness to me;

rsv@John:10:27 @ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;

rsv@John:10:30 @ I and the Father are one."

rsv@John:10:34 @ Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, `I said, you are gods'?

rsv@John:10:36 @ do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, `You are blaspheming,' because I said, `I am the Son of God'?

rsv@John:10:39 @ Again they tried to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.

rsv@John:11:1 @ Now a certain man was ill, Laz'arus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

rsv@John:11:2 @ It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Laz'arus was ill.

rsv@John:11:4 @ But when Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death; it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by means of it."

rsv@John:11:5 @ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Laz'arus.

rsv@John:11:6 @ So when he heard that he was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.

rsv@John:11:8 @ The disciples said to him, "Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?"

rsv@John:11:9 @ Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

rsv@John:11:11 @ Thus he spoke, and then he said to them, "Our friend Laz'arus has fallen asleep, but I go to awake him out of sleep."

rsv@John:11:14 @ Then Jesus told them plainly, "Laz'arus is dead;

rsv@John:11:17 @ Now when Jesus came, he found that Laz'arus had already been in the tomb four days.

rsv@John:11:18 @ Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off,

rsv@John:11:19 @ and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother.

rsv@John:11:20 @ When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary sat in the house.

rsv@John:11:21 @ Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

rsv@John:11:24 @ Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

rsv@John:11:27 @ She said to him, "Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, he who is coming into the world."

rsv@John:11:28 @ When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying quietly, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you."

rsv@John:11:29 @ And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him.

rsv@John:11:30 @ Now Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.

rsv@John:11:31 @ When the Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

rsv@John:11:32 @ Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

rsv@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days."

rsv@John:11:41 @ So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, "Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

rsv@John:11:42 @ I knew that thou hearest me always, but I have said this on account of the people standing by, that they may believe that thou didst send me."

rsv@John:11:43 @ When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Laz'arus, come out."

rsv@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him;

rsv@John:11:46 @ but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

rsv@John:11:47 @ So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council, and said, "What are we to do? For this man performs many signs.

rsv@John:11:49 @ But one of them, Ca'iaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all;

rsv@John:11:51 @ He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation,

rsv@John:11:52 @ and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

rsv@John:11:54 @ Jesus therefore no longer went about openly among the Jews, but went from there to the country near the wilderness, to a town called E'phraim; and there he stayed with the disciples.

rsv@John:11:57 @ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if any one knew where he was, he should let them know, so that they might arrest him.

rsv@John:12:1 @ Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Laz'arus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

rsv@John:12:2 @ There they made him a supper; Martha served, and Laz'arus was one of those at table with him.

rsv@John:12:3 @ Mary took a pound of costly ointment of pure nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

rsv@John:12:4 @ But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was to betray him), said,

rsv@John:12:5 @ "Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"

rsv@John:12:6 @ This he said, not that he cared for the poor but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box he used to take what was put into it.

rsv@John:12:9 @ When the great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, they came, not only on account of Jesus but also to see Laz'arus, whom he had raised from the dead.

rsv@John:12:10 @ So the chief priests planned to put Laz'arus also to death,

rsv@John:12:12 @ The next day a great crowd who had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

rsv@John:12:15 @ "Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on an ass's colt!"

rsv@John:12:17 @ The crowd that had been with him when he called Laz'arus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead bore witness.

rsv@John:12:18 @ The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign.

rsv@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees then said to one another, "You see that you can do nothing; look, the world has gone after him."

rsv@John:12:24 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

rsv@John:12:29 @ The crowd standing by heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."

rsv@John:12:32 @ and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself."

rsv@John:12:34 @ The crowd answered him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains for ever. How can you say that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?"

rsv@John:12:35 @ Jesus said to them, "The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, lest the darkness overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

rsv@John:12:36 @ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." When Jesus had said this, he departed and hid himself from them.

rsv@John:12:38 @ it was that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: "Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

rsv@John:12:40 @ "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes and perceive with their heart, and turn for me to heal them."

rsv@John:12:42 @ Nevertheless many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

rsv@John:12:46 @ I have come as light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.

rsv@John:12:47 @ If any one hears my sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

rsv@John:13:1 @ Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

rsv@John:13:2 @ And during supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

rsv@John:13:4 @ rose from supper, laid aside his garments, and girded himself with a towel.

rsv@John:13:7 @ Jesus answered him, "What I am doing you do not know now, but afterward you will understand."

rsv@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 in me."

rsv@John:13:10 @ Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but he is clean all over; and you are clean, but not every one of you."

rsv@John:13:11 @ For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, "You are not all clean."

rsv@John:13:12 @ When he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and resumed his place, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

rsv@John:13:13 @ You call me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.

rsv@John:13:17 @ If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

rsv@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give this morsel when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

rsv@John:13:27 @ Then after the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly."

rsv@John:13:35 @ By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

rsv@John:13:36 @ Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow afterward."

rsv@John:14:1 @ "Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me.

rsv@John:14:2 @ In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?

rsv@John:14:3 @ And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

rsv@John:14:5 @ Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?"

rsv@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?"

rsv@John:14:24 @ He who does not love me does not keep my words; and the word which you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.

rsv@John:14:27 @ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

rsv@John:14:28 @ You heard me say to you, `I go away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.

rsv@John:15:2 @ Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

rsv@John:15:3 @ You are already made clean by the word which I have spoken to you.

rsv@John:15:4 @ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.

rsv@John:15:5 @ I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

rsv@John:15:6 @ If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned.

rsv@John:15:8 @ By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.

rsv@John:15:14 @ You are my friends if you do what I command you.

rsv@John:15:15 @ No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

rsv@John:15:16 @ You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide; so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

rsv@John:15:19 @ If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

rsv@John:15:26 @ But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me;

rsv@John:15:27 @ and you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning.

rsv@John:16:5 @ But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, `Where are you going?'

rsv@John:16:6 @ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts.

rsv@John:16:12 @ "I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

rsv@John:16:13 @ When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.

rsv@John:16:14 @ He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

rsv@John:16:15 @ All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

rsv@John:16:19 @ Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him; so he said to them, "Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, `A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me'?

rsv@John:16:22 @ So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

rsv@John:16:29 @ His disciples said, "Ah, now you are speaking plainly, not in any figure!

rsv@John:17:4 @ I glorified thee on earth, having accomplished the work which thou gavest me to do;

rsv@John:17:9 @ I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine;

rsv@John:17:10 @ all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them.

rsv@John:17:11 @ And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.

rsv@John:17:12 @ While I was with them, I kept them in thy name, which thou hast given me; I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

rsv@John:17:14 @ I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

rsv@John:17:16 @ They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

rsv@John:17:21 @ that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

rsv@John:17:22 @ The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,

rsv@John:18:1 @ When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples across the Kidron valley, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.

rsv@John:18:3 @ So Judas, procuring a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

rsv@John:18:4 @ Then Jesus, knowing all that was to befall him, came forward and said to them, "Whom do you seek?"

rsv@John:18:5 @ They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am he." Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

rsv@John:18:7 @ Again he asked them, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

rsv@John:18:10 @ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave and cut off his right ear. The slave's name was Malchus.

rsv@John:18:13 @ First they led him to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Ca'iaphas, who was high priest that year.

rsv@John:18:17 @ The maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are not you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not."

rsv@John:18:18 @ Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves; Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.

rsv@John:18:21 @ Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me, what I said to them; they know what I said."

rsv@John:18:23 @ Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, bear witness to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?"

rsv@John:18:25 @ Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, "Are not you also one of his disciples?" He denied it and said, "I am not."

rsv@John:18:26 @ One of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"

rsv@John:18:28 @ Then they led Jesus from the house of Ca'iaphas to the praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not enter the praetorium, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

rsv@John:18:33 @ Pilate entered the praetorium again and called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

rsv@John:18:37 @ Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice."

rsv@John:18:40 @ They cried out again, "Not this man, but Barab'bas!" Now Barab'bas was a robber.

rsv@John:19:2 @ And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple robe;

rsv@John:19:5 @ So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold the man!"

rsv@John:19:8 @ When Pilate heard these words, he was the more afraid;

rsv@John:19:9 @ he entered the praetorium again and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave no answer.

rsv@John:19:12 @ Upon this Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend; every one who makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar."

rsv@John:19:13 @ When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, and in Hebrew, Gab'batha.

rsv@John:19:14 @ Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"

rsv@John:19:15 @ 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."

rsv@John:19:17 @ So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Gol'gotha.

rsv@John:19:19 @ Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the cross; it read, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews."

rsv@John:19:20 @ Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

rsv@John:19:23 @ When the soldiers had crucified Jesus they took his garments and made four parts, one for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was without seam, woven from top to bottom;

rsv@John:19:24 @ so they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be." This was to fulfil the scripture, "They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots."

rsv@John:19:25 @ So the soldiers did this. But standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Mag'dalene.

rsv@John:19:26 @ When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!"

rsv@John:19:29 @ A bowl full of vinegar stood there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop and held it to his mouth.

rsv@John:19:30 @ When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished"; and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

rsv@John:19:31 @ Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

rsv@John:19:34 @ But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.

rsv@John:19:38 @ After this Joseph of Arimathe'a, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took away his body.

rsv@John:19:41 @ Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb where no one had ever been laid.

rsv@John:19:42 @ So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

rsv@John:20:1 @ Now on the first day of the week Mary Mag'dalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

rsv@John:20:3 @ Peter then came out with the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.

rsv@John:20:11 @ But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb;

rsv@John:20:13 @ They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him."

rsv@John:20:15 @ Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom do you seek?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away."

rsv@John:20:16 @ Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rab-bo'ni!" (which means Teacher).

rsv@John:20:18 @ Mary Mag'dalene went and said to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord"; and she told them that he had said these things to her.

rsv@John:20:19 @ On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."

rsv@John:20:23 @ If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."

rsv@John:20:25 @ So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and place my finger in the mark of the nails, and place my hand in his side, I will not believe."

rsv@John:20:29 @ Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe."

rsv@John:20:30 @ Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;

rsv@John:20:31 @ but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

rsv@John:21:7 @ That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his clothes, for he was stripped for work, and sprang into the sea.

rsv@John:21:8 @ But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off.

rsv@John:21:9 @ When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish lying on it, and bread.

rsv@John:21:11 @ So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

rsv@John:21:12 @ Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." Now none of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord.

rsv@John:21:18 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you girded yourself and walked where you would; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish to go."

rsv@John:21:24 @ This is the disciple who is bearing witness to these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

rsv@John:21:25 @ But there are also many other things which Jesus did; were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

rsv@Acts:1:3 @ To them he presented himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God.

rsv@Acts:1:4 @ And while staying with them he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, "you heard from me,

rsv@Acts:1:8 @ But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Sama'ria and to the end of the earth."

rsv@Acts:1:12 @ Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day's journey away;

rsv@Acts:1:13 @ and when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James.

rsv@Acts:1:14 @ All these with one accord devoted themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

rsv@Acts:1:16 @ "Brethren, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was guide to those who arrested Jesus.

rsv@Acts:1:17 @ For he was numbered among us, and was allotted his share in this ministry.

rsv@Acts:1:18 @ (Now this man bought a field with the reward of his wickedness; and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.

rsv@Acts:1:23 @ And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsab'bas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthi'as.

rsv@Acts:1:24 @ And they prayed and said, "Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which one of these two thou hast chosen

rsv@Acts:2:3 @ And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them.

rsv@Acts:2:6 @ And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

rsv@Acts:2:7 @ And they were amazed and wondered, saying, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

rsv@Acts:2:8 @ And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language?

rsv@Acts:2:9 @ Par'thians and Medes and E'lamites and residents of Mesopota'mia, Judea and Cappado'cia, Pontus and Asia,

rsv@Acts:2:10 @ Phryg'ia and Pamphyl'ia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyre'ne, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

rsv@Acts:2:11 @ Cretans and Arabians, we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God."

rsv@Acts:2:13 @ But others mocking said, "They are filled with new wine."

rsv@Acts:2:14 @ But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them, "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.

rsv@Acts:2:15 @ For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day;

rsv@Acts:2:17 @ `And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;

rsv@Acts:2:20 @ the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and manifest day.

rsv@Acts:2:22 @ "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know--

rsv@Acts:2:29 @ "Brethren, I may say to you confidently of the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

rsv@Acts:2:32 @ This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses.

rsv@Acts:2:33 @ Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you see and hear.

rsv@Acts:2:37 @ Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?"

rsv@Acts:2:39 @ For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him."

rsv@Acts:2:43 @ And fear came upon every soul; and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

rsv@Acts:2:46 @ And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food with glad and generous hearts,

rsv@Acts:3:2 @ And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at that gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms of those who entered the temple.

rsv@Acts:3:6 @ But Peter said, "I have no silver and gold, but I give you what I have; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."

rsv@Acts:3:12 @ And when Peter saw it he addressed the people, "Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we had made him walk?

rsv@Acts:4:3 @ And they arrested them and put them in custody until the morrow, for it was already evening.

rsv@Acts:4:4 @ But many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to about five thousand.

rsv@Acts:4:9 @ if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a cripple, by what means this man has been healed,

rsv@Acts:4:18 @ So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

rsv@Acts:4:20 @ for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard."

rsv@Acts:4:22 @ For the man on whom this sign of healing was performed was more than forty years old.

rsv@Acts:4:24 @ And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, "Sovereign Lord, who didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them,

rsv@Acts:4:30 @ while thou stretchest out thy hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of thy holy servant Jesus."

rsv@Acts:4:32 @ Now the company of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had everything in common.

rsv@Acts:4:36 @ Thus Joseph who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas (which means, Son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus,

rsv@Acts:5:2 @ and with his wife's knowledge he kept back some of the proceeds, and brought only a part and laid it at the apostles' feet.

rsv@Acts:5:4 @ While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."

rsv@Acts:5:5 @ When Anani'as heard these words, he fell down and died. And great fear came upon all who heard of it.

rsv@Acts:5:6 @ The young men rose and wrapped him up and carried him out and buried him.

rsv@Acts:5:10 @ Immediately she fell down at his feet and died. When the young men came in they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

rsv@Acts:5:11 @ And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all who heard of these things.

rsv@Acts:5:13 @ None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high honor.

rsv@Acts:5:15 @ so that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and pallets, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.

rsv@Acts:5:16 @ The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

rsv@Acts:5:17 @ But the high priest rose up and all who were with him, that is, the party of the Sad'ducees, and filled with jealousy

rsv@Acts:8:7 @ For unclean spirits came out of many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice; and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed.

rsv@Acts:8:14 @ Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Sama'ria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John,

rsv@Acts:8:21 @ You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.

rsv@Acts:8:22 @ Repent therefore of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.

rsv@Acts:8:23 @ For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity."

rsv@Acts:8:25 @ Now when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.

rsv@Acts:8:26 @ But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." This is a desert road.

rsv@Acts:8:27 @ And he rose and went. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a minister of the Can'dace, queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship

rsv@Acts:8:28 @ and was returning; seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.

rsv@Acts:8:29 @ And the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join this chariot."

rsv@Acts:8:30 @ So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and asked, "Do you understand what you are reading?"

rsv@Acts:8:32 @ Now the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this: "As a sheep led to the slaughter or a lamb before its shearer is dumb, so he opens not his mouth.

rsv@Acts:8:33 @ In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken up from the earth."

rsv@Acts:8:37 @ And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

rsv@Acts:8:39 @ But Philip was found at Azo'tus, and passing on he preached the gospel to all the towns till he came to Caesare'a.

rsv@Acts:9:4 @ And he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"

rsv@Acts:9:5 @ And he said, "Who are you, Lord?" And he said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting;

rsv@Acts:9:6 @ but rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do."

rsv@Acts:9:7 @ The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one.

rsv@Acts:9:8 @ Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.

rsv@Acts:9:11 @ And the Lord said to him, "Rise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus named Saul; for behold, he is praying,

rsv@Acts:9:13 @ But Anani'as answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem;

rsv@Acts:9:15 @ But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel;

rsv@Acts:9:17 @ So Anani'as departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

rsv@Acts:9:21 @ And all who heard him were amazed, and said, "Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called on this name? And he has come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests."

rsv@Acts:9:27 @ But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how on the road he had seen the Lord, who spoke to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.

rsv@Acts:9:30 @ And when the brethren knew it, they brought him down to Caesare'a, and sent him off to Tarsus.

rsv@Acts:9:31 @ So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Sama'ria had peace and was built up; and walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit it was multiplied.

rsv@Acts:9:33 @ There he found a man named Aene'as, who had been bedridden for eight years and was paralyzed.

rsv@Acts:9:35 @ And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

rsv@Acts:9:36 @ Now there was at Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which means Dorcas. She was full of good works and acts of charity.

rsv@Acts:9:38 @ Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him entreating him, "Please come to us without delay."

rsv@Acts:9:39 @ So Peter rose and went with them. And when he had come, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him weeping, and showing tunics and other garments which Dorcas made while she was with them.

rsv@Acts:10:1 @ At Caesare'a there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort,

rsv@Acts:10:2 @ a devout man who feared God with all his household, gave alms liberally to the people, and prayed constantly to God.

rsv@Acts:10:3 @ About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, "Cornelius."

rsv@Acts:10:4 @ And he stared at him in terror, and said, "What is it, Lord?" And he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God.

rsv@Acts:10:7 @ When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those that waited on him,

rsv@Acts:10:9 @ The next day, as they were on their journey and coming near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.

rsv@Acts:10:10 @ And he became hungry and desired something to eat; but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance

rsv@Acts:10:11 @ and saw the heaven opened, and something descending, like a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth.

rsv@Acts:10:17 @ Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood before the gate

rsv@Acts:10:19 @ And while Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men are looking for you.

rsv@Acts:10:21 @ And Peter went down to the men and said, "I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason for your coming?"

rsv@Acts:10:22 @ And they said, "Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house, and to hear what you have to say."

rsv@Acts:10:24 @ And on the following day they entered Caesare'a. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his kinsmen and close friends.

rsv@Acts:10:30 @ And Cornelius said, "Four days ago, about this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel,

rsv@Acts:10:31 @ saying, `Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God.

rsv@Acts:10:33 @ So I sent to you at once, and you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord."

rsv@Acts:10:34 @ And Peter opened his mouth and said: "Truly I perceive that God shows no partiality,

rsv@Acts:10:35 @ but in every nation any one who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.

rsv@Acts:10:38 @ how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

rsv@Acts:10:39 @ And we are witnesses to all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree;

rsv@Acts:10:43 @ To him all the prophets bear witness that every one who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name."

rsv@Acts:10:44 @ While Peter was still saying this, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word.

rsv@Acts:10:46 @ For they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared,

rsv@Acts:11:1 @ Now the apostles and the brethren who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

rsv@Acts:11:2 @ So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party criticized him,

rsv@Acts:11:7 @ And I heard a voice saying to me, `Rise, Peter; kill and eat.'

rsv@Acts:11:11 @ At that very moment three men arrived at the house in which we were, sent to me from Caesare'a.

rsv@Acts:11:14 @ he will declare to you a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household.'

rsv@Acts:11:18 @ When they heard this they were silenced. And they glorified God, saying, "Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance unto life."

rsv@Acts:11:19 @ Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoeni'cia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none except Jews.

rsv@Acts:11:22 @ News of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

rsv@Acts:11:24 @ for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a large company was added to the Lord.

rsv@Acts:11:25 @ So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul;

rsv@Acts:11:26 @ and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church, and taught a large company of people; and in Antioch the disciples were for the first time called Christians.

rsv@Acts:11:30 @ and they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

rsv@Acts:12:3 @ and when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during the days of Unleavened Bread.

rsv@Acts:12:4 @ And when he had seized him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out to the people.

rsv@Acts:12:5 @ So Peter was kept in prison; but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church.

rsv@Acts:12:6 @ The very night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison;

rsv@Acts:12:7 @ and behold, an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, "Get up quickly." And the chains fell off his hands.

rsv@Acts:12:8 @ And the angel said to him, "Dress yourself and put on your sandals." And he did so. And he said to him, "Wrap your mantle around you and follow me."

rsv@Acts:12:10 @ When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened to them of its own accord, and they went out and passed on through one street; and immediately the angel left him.

rsv@Acts:12:12 @ When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.

rsv@Acts:12:15 @ They said to her, "You are mad." But she insisted that it was so. They said, "It is his angel!"

rsv@Acts:12:17 @ But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, "Tell this to James and to the brethren." Then he departed and went to another place.

rsv@Acts:12:19 @ And when Herod had sought for him and could not find him, he examined the sentries and ordered that they should be put to death. Then he went down from Judea to Caesare'a, and remained there.

rsv@Acts:12:25 @ And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their mission, bringing with them John whose other name was Mark.

rsv@Acts:13:1 @ Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyre'ne, Man'a-en a member of the court of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

rsv@Acts:13:2 @ While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."

rsv@Acts:13:5 @ When they arrived at Sal'amis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John to assist them.

rsv@Acts:13:6 @ When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came upon a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet, named Bar-Jesus.

rsv@Acts:13:7 @ He was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.

rsv@Acts:13:11 @ And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind and unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately mist and darkness fell upon him and he went about seeking people to lead him by the hand.

rsv@Acts:13:16 @ So Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said: "Men of Israel, and you that fear God, listen.

rsv@Acts:13:17 @ The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it.

rsv@Acts:13:18 @ And for about forty years he bore with them in the wilderness.

rsv@Acts:13:19 @ And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years.

rsv@Acts:13:21 @ Then they asked for a king; and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

rsv@Acts:13:22 @ And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; of whom he testified and said, `I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'

rsv@Acts:13:26 @ "Brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us has been sent the message of this salvation.

rsv@Acts:13:27 @ For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled these by condemning him.

rsv@Acts:13:28 @ Though they could charge him with nothing deserving death, yet they asked Pilate to have him killed.

rsv@Acts:13:31 @ and for many days he appeared to those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.

rsv@Acts:13:33 @ this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, `Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee.'

rsv@Acts:13:40 @ Beware, therefore, lest there come upon you what is said in the prophets:

rsv@Acts:13:41 @ `Behold, you scoffers, and wonder, and perish; for I do a deed in your days, a deed you will never believe, if one declares it to you.'"

rsv@Acts:13:43 @ And when the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.

rsv@Acts:13:44 @ The next sabbath almost the whole city gathered together to hear the word of God.

rsv@Acts:13:46 @ And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, "It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken first to you. Since you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

rsv@Acts:13:47 @ For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, `I have set you to be a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.'"

rsv@Acts:13:48 @ And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God; and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

rsv@Acts:13:50 @ But the Jews incited the devout women of high standing and the leading men of the city, and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district.

rsv@Acts:14:6 @ they learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycao'nia, and to the surrounding country;

rsv@Acts:14:12 @ Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, because he was the chief speaker, they called Hermes.

rsv@Acts:14:13 @ And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates and wanted to offer sacrifice with the people.

rsv@Acts:14:14 @ But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their garments and rushed out among the multitude, crying,

rsv@Acts:14:15 @ "Men, why are you doing this? We also are men, of like nature with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to a living God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.

rsv@Acts:14:17 @ yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness."

rsv@Acts:14:18 @ With these words they scarcely restrained the people from offering sacrifice to them.

rsv@Acts:14:20 @ But when the disciples gathered about him, he rose up and entered the city; and on the next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.

rsv@Acts:14:27 @ And when they arrived, they gathered the church together and declared all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.

rsv@Acts:15:1 @ But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."

rsv@Acts:15:2 @ And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question.

rsv@Acts:15:4 @ When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they declared all that God had done with them.

rsv@Acts:15:5 @ But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees rose up, and said, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the law of Moses."

rsv@Acts:15:7 @ And after there had been much debate, Peter rose and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in the early days God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.

rsv@Acts:15:8 @ And God who knows the heart bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us;

rsv@Acts:15:9 @ and he made no distinction between us and them, but cleansed their hearts by faith.

rsv@Acts:15:10 @ Now therefore why do you make trial of God by putting a yoke upon the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?

rsv@Acts:15:12 @ And all the assembly kept silence; and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.

rsv@Acts:15:17 @ that the rest of men may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by my name,

rsv@Acts:15:21 @ For from early generations Moses has had in every city those who preach him, for he is read every sabbath in the synagogues."

rsv@Acts:15:22 @ Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsab'bas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren,

rsv@Acts:15:23 @ with the following letter: "The brethren, both the apostles and the elders, to the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cili'cia, greeting.

rsv@Acts:15:24 @ Since we have heard that some persons from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions,

rsv@Acts:15:25 @ it has seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

rsv@Acts:15:28 @ For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:

rsv@Acts:15:29 @ that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from unchastity. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell."

rsv@Acts:15:34 @ But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

rsv@Acts:15:35 @ And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Come, let us return and visit the brethren in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are."

rsv@Acts:15:36 @ And Barnabas wanted to take with them John called Mark.

rsv@Acts:15:38 @ And there arose a sharp contention, so that they separated from each other; Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,

rsv@Acts:15:39 @ but Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.

rsv@Acts:16:9 @ And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedo'nia was standing beseeching him and saying, "Come over to Macedo'nia and help us."

rsv@Acts:16:14 @ One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyati'ra, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to give heed to what was said by Paul.

rsv@Acts:16:17 @ She followed Paul and us, crying, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation."

rsv@Acts:16:18 @ And this she did for many days. But Paul was annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I charge you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out that very hour.

rsv@Acts:16:19 @ But when her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the market place before the rulers;

rsv@Acts:16:20 @ and when they had brought them to the magistrates they said, "These men are Jews and they are disturbing our city.

rsv@Acts:16:22 @ The crowd joined in attacking them; and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them with rods.

rsv@Acts:16:23 @ And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.

rsv@Acts:16:24 @ Having received this charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

rsv@Acts:16:26 @ and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and every one's fetters were unfastened.

rsv@Acts:16:28 @ But Paul cried with a loud voice, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here."

rsv@Acts:16:29 @ And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas,

rsv@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now cast us out secretly? No! let them come themselves and take us out."

rsv@Acts:16:38 @ The police reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens;

rsv@Acts:16:40 @ So they went out of the prison, and visited Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they exhorted them and departed.

rsv@Acts:17:2 @ And Paul went in, as was his custom, and for three weeks he argued with them from the scriptures,

rsv@Acts:17:3 @ explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ."

rsv@Acts:17:5 @ But the Jews were jealous, and taking some wicked fellows of the rabble, they gathered a crowd, set the city in an uproar, and attacked the house of Jason, seeking to bring them out to the people.

rsv@Acts:17:7 @ and Jason has received them; and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus."

rsv@Acts:17:8 @ And the people and the city authorities were disturbed when they heard this.

rsv@Acts:17:10 @ The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroe'a; and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue.

rsv@Acts:17:13 @ But when the Jews of Thessaloni'ca learned that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroe'a also, they came there too, stirring up and inciting the crowds.

rsv@Acts:17:15 @ Those who conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.

rsv@Acts:17:17 @ So he argued in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the market place every day with those who chanced to be there.

rsv@Acts:17:19 @ And they took hold of him and brought him to the Are-op'agus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is which you present?

rsv@Acts:17:20 @ For you bring some strange things to our ears; we wish to know therefore what these things mean."

rsv@Acts:17:21 @ Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spent their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new.

rsv@Acts:17:22 @ So Paul, standing in the middle of the Are-op'agus, said: "Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious.

rsv@Acts:17:23 @ For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, `To an unknown god.' What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.

rsv@Acts:17:24 @ The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by man,

rsv@Acts:17:26 @ And he made from one every nation of men to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their habitation,

rsv@Acts:17:27 @ that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel after him and find him. Yet he is not far from each one of us,

rsv@Acts:17:28 @ for `In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your poets have said, `For we are indeed his offspring.'

rsv@Acts:17:29 @ Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the Deity is like gold, or silver, or stone, a representation by the art and imagination of man.

rsv@Acts:17:32 @ Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, "We will hear you again about this."

rsv@Acts:17:34 @ But some men joined him and believed, among them Dionys'ius the Are-op'agite and a woman named Dam'aris and others with them.

rsv@Acts:18:4 @ And he argued in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

rsv@Acts:18:5 @ When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedo'nia, Paul was occupied with preaching, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.

rsv@Acts:18:6 @ And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, "Your blood be upon your heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."

rsv@Acts:18:8 @ Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with all his household; and many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized.

rsv@Acts:18:10 @ for I am with you, and no man shall attack you to harm you; for I have many people in this city."

rsv@Acts:18:11 @ And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

rsv@Acts:18:13 @ saying, "This man is persuading men to worship God contrary to the law."

rsv@Acts:18:14 @ But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious crime, I should have reason to bear with you, O Jews;

rsv@Acts:18:19 @ And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself went into the synagogue and argued with the Jews.

rsv@Acts:18:22 @ When he had landed at Caesare'a, he went up and greeted the church, and then went down to Antioch.

rsv@Acts:18:23 @ After spending some time there he departed and went from place to place through the region of Galatia and Phryg'ia, strengthening all the disciples.

rsv@Acts:18:26 @ He began to speak boldly in the synagogue; but when Priscilla and Aq'uila heard him, they took him and expounded to him the way of God more accurately.

rsv@Acts:18:27 @ And when he wished to cross to Acha'ia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed,

rsv@Acts:19:2 @ And he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" And they said, "No, we have never even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."

rsv@Acts:19:5 @ On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

rsv@Acts:19:8 @ And he entered the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, arguing and pleading about the kingdom of God;

rsv@Acts:19:9 @ but when some were stubborn and disbelieved, speaking evil of the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them, taking the disciples with him, and argued daily in the hall of Tyran'nus.

rsv@Acts:19:10 @ This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

rsv@Acts:19:11 @ And God did extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,

rsv@Acts:19:12 @ so that handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them.

rsv@Acts:19:15 @ But the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?"

rsv@Acts:19:17 @ And this became known to all residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks; and fear fell upon them all; and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled.

rsv@Acts:19:19 @ And a number of those who practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all; and they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver.

rsv@Acts:19:23 @ About that time there arose no little stir concerning the Way.

rsv@Acts:19:24 @ For a man named Deme'trius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Ar'temis, brought no little business to the craftsmen.

rsv@Acts:19:26 @ And you see and hear that not only at Ephesus but almost throughout all Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable company of people, saying that gods made with hands are not gods.

rsv@Acts:19:27 @ And there is danger not only that this trade of ours may come into disrepute but also that the temple of the great goddess Ar'temis may count for nothing, and that she may even be deposed from her magnificence, she whom all Asia and the world worship."

rsv@Acts:19:28 @ When they heard this they were enraged, and cried out, "Great is Ar'temis of the Ephesians!"

rsv@Acts:19:29 @ So the city was filled with the confusion; and they rushed together into the theater, dragging with them Ga'ius and Aristar'chus, Macedo'nians who were Paul's companions in travel.

rsv@Acts:19:31 @ some of the A'si-archs also, who were friends of his, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.

rsv@Acts:19:33 @ Some of the crowd prompted Alexander, whom the Jews had put forward. And Alexander motioned with his hand, wishing to make a defense to the people.

rsv@Acts:19:34 @ But when they recognized that he was a Jew, for about two hours they all with one voice cried out, "Great is Ar'temis of the Ephesians!"

rsv@Acts:19:35 @ And when the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, "Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Ar'temis, and of the sacred stone that fell from the sky?

rsv@Acts:19:37 @ For you have brought these men here who are neither sacrilegious nor blasphemers of our goddess.

rsv@Acts:19:38 @ If therefore Deme'trius and the craftsmen with him have a complaint against any one, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls; let them bring charges against one another.

rsv@Acts:19:39 @ But if you seek anything further, it shall be settled in the regular assembly.

rsv@Acts:19:40 @ For we are in danger of being charged with rioting today, there being no cause that we can give to justify this commotion."

rsv@Acts:20:1 @ After the uproar ceased, Paul sent for the disciples and having exhorted them took leave of them and departed for Macedo'nia.

rsv@Acts:20:2 @ When he had gone through these parts and had given them much encouragement, he came to Greece.

rsv@Acts:20:4 @ Sop'ater of Beroe'a, the son of Pyrrhus, accompanied him; and of the Thessalo'nians, Aristar'chus and Secun'dus; and Ga'ius of Derbe, and Timothy; and the Asians, Tych'icus and Troph'imus.

rsv@Acts:20:7 @ On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the morrow; and he prolonged his speech until midnight.

rsv@Acts:20:10 @ But Paul went down and bent over him, and embracing him said, "Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him."

rsv@Acts:20:11 @ And when Paul had gone up and had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed.

rsv@Acts:20:13 @ But going ahead to the ship, we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for so he had arranged, intending himself to go by land.

rsv@Acts:20:14 @ And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mityle'ne.

rsv@Acts:20:19 @ serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials which befell me through the plots of the Jews;

rsv@Acts:20:32 @ And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

rsv@Acts:20:33 @ I coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel.

rsv@Acts:21:1 @ And when we had parted from them and set sail, we came by a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Pat'ara.

rsv@Acts:21:2 @ And having found a ship crossing to Phoeni'cia, we went aboard, and set sail.

rsv@Acts:21:3 @ When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload its cargo.

rsv@Acts:21:5 @ And when our days there were ended, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way till we were outside the city; and kneeling down on the beach we prayed and bade one another farewell.

rsv@Acts:21:6 @ Then we went on board the ship, and they returned home.

rsv@Acts:21:7 @ When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolema'is; and we greeted the brethren and stayed with them for one day.

rsv@Acts:21:8 @ On the morrow we departed and came to Caesare'a; and we entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

rsv@Acts:21:9 @ And he had four unmarried daughters, who prophesied.

rsv@Acts:21:12 @ When we heard this, we and the people there begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.

rsv@Acts:21:13 @ Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."

rsv@Acts:21:16 @ And some of the disciples from Caesare'a went with us, bringing us to the house of Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.

rsv@Acts:21:20 @ And when they heard it, they glorified God. And they said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed; they are all zealous for the law,

rsv@Acts:21:21 @ and they have been told about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or observe the customs.

rsv@Acts:21:22 @ What then is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come.

rsv@Acts:21:23 @ Do therefore what we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow;

rsv@Acts:21:30 @ Then all the city was aroused, and the people ran together; they seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut.

rsv@Acts:21:33 @ Then the tribune came up and arrested him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains. He inquired who he was and what he had done.

rsv@Acts:21:34 @ Some in the crowd shouted one thing, some another; and as he could not learn the facts because of the uproar, he ordered him to be brought into the barracks.

rsv@Acts:21:35 @ And when he came to the steps, he was actually carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;

rsv@Acts:21:37 @ As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he said to the tribune, "May I say something to you?" And he said, "Do you know Greek?

rsv@Acts:21:38 @ Are you not the Egyptian, then, who recently stirred up a revolt and led the four thousand men of the Assassins out into the wilderness?"

rsv@Acts:21:39 @ Paul replied, "I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cili'cia, a citizen of no mean city; I beg you, let me speak to the people."

rsv@Acts:22:1 @ "Brethren and fathers, hear the defense which I now make before you."

rsv@Acts:22:2 @ And when they heard that he addressed them in the Hebrew language, they were the more quiet. And he said:

rsv@Acts:22:3 @ "I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cili'cia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gama'li-el, educated according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God as you all are this day.

rsv@Acts:22:5 @ as the high priest and the whole council of elders bear me witness. From them I received letters to the brethren, and I journeyed to Damascus to take those also who were there and bring them in bonds to Jerusalem to be punished.

rsv@Acts:22:6 @ "As I made my journey and drew near to Damascus, about noon a great light from heaven suddenly shone about me.

rsv@Acts:22:7 @ And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, `Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?'

rsv@Acts:22:8 @ And I answered, `Who are you, Lord?' And he said to me, `I am Jesus of Nazareth whom you are persecuting.'

rsv@Acts:22:9 @ Now those who were with me saw the light but did not hear the voice of the one who was speaking to me.

rsv@Acts:22:14 @ And he said, `The God of our fathers appointed you to know his will, to see the Just One and to hear a voice from his mouth;

rsv@Acts:22:15 @ for you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.

rsv@Acts:22:20 @ And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I also was standing by and approving, and keeping the garments of those who killed him.'

rsv@Acts:22:21 @ And he said to me, `Depart; for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.'"

rsv@Acts:22:22 @ Up to this word they listened to him; then they lifted up their voices and said, "Away with such a fellow from the earth! For he ought not to live."

rsv@Acts:22:23 @ And as they cried out and waved their garments and threw dust into the air,

rsv@Acts:22:24 @ the tribune commanded him to be brought into the barracks, and ordered him to be examined by scourging, to find out why they shouted thus against him.

rsv@Acts:22:26 @ When the centurion heard that, he went to the tribune and said to him, "What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen."

rsv@Acts:22:27 @ So the tribune came and said to him, "Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?" And he said, "Yes."

rsv@Acts:22:28 @ The tribune answered, "I bought this citizenship for a large sum." Paul said, "But I was born a citizen."

rsv@Acts:23:3 @ Then Paul said to him, "God shall strike you, you whitewashed wall! Are you sitting to judge me according to the law, and yet contrary to the law you order me to be struck?"

rsv@Acts:23:6 @ But when Paul perceived that one part were Sad'ducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees; with respect to the hope and the resurrection of the dead I am on trial."

rsv@Acts:23:7 @ And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sad'ducees; and the assembly was divided.

rsv@Acts:23:8 @ For the Sad'ducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.

rsv@Acts:23:9 @ Then a great clamor arose; and some of the scribes of the Pharisees' party stood up and contended, "We find nothing wrong in this man. What if a spirit or an angel spoke to him?"

rsv@Acts:23:10 @ And when the dissension became violent, the tribune, afraid that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them and bring him into the barracks.

rsv@Acts:23:11 @ The following night the Lord stood by him and said, "Take courage, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must bear witness also at Rome."

rsv@Acts:23:15 @ You therefore, along with the council, give notice now to the tribune to bring him down to you, as though you were going to determine his case more exactly. And we are ready to kill him before he comes near."

rsv@Acts:23:16 @ Now the son of Paul's sister heard of their ambush; so he went and entered the barracks and told Paul.

rsv@Acts:23:21 @ But do not yield to them; for more than forty of their men lie in ambush for him, having bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they have killed him; and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from you."

rsv@Acts:23:22 @ So the tribune dismissed the young man, charging him, "Tell no one that you have informed me of this."

rsv@Acts:23:23 @ Then he called two of the centurions and said, "At the third hour of the night get ready two hundred soldiers with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen to go as far as Caesare'a.

rsv@Acts:23:27 @ This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them, when I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman citizen.

rsv@Acts:23:28 @ And desiring to know the charge on which they accused him, I brought him down to their council.

rsv@Acts:23:29 @ I found that he was accused about questions of their law, but charged with nothing deserving death or imprisonment.

rsv@Acts:23:32 @ And on the morrow they returned to the barracks, leaving the horsemen to go on with him.

rsv@Acts:23:33 @ When they came to Caesare'a and delivered the letter to the governor, they presented Paul also before him.

rsv@Acts:23:34 @ On reading the letter, he asked to what province he belonged. When he learned that he was from Cili'cia

rsv@Acts:23:35 @ he said, "I will hear you when your accusers arrive." And he commanded him to be guarded in Herod's praetorium.

rsv@Acts:24:2 @ and when he was called, Tertul'lus began to accuse him, saying: "Since through you we enjoy much peace, and since by your provision, most excellent Felix, reforms are introduced on behalf of this nation,

rsv@Acts:24:4 @ But, to detain you no further, I beg you in your kindness to hear us briefly.

rsv@Acts:24:5 @ For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, an agitator among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

rsv@Acts:24:7 @ By examining him yourself you will be able to learn from him about everything of which we accuse him."

rsv@Acts:24:8 @ The Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that all this was so.

rsv@Acts:24:9 @ And when the governor had motioned to him to speak, Paul replied: "Realizing that for many years you have been judge over this nation, I cheerfully make my defense.

rsv@Acts:24:15 @ So I always take pains to have a clear conscience toward God and toward men.

rsv@Acts:24:16 @ Now after some years I came to bring to my nation alms and offerings.

rsv@Acts:24:23 @ After some days Felix came with his wife Drusil'la, who was a Jewess; and he sent for Paul and heard him speak upon faith in Christ Jesus.

rsv@Acts:24:24 @ And as he argued about justice and self-control and future judgment, Felix was alarmed and said, "Go away for the present; when I have an opportunity I will summon you."

rsv@Acts:24:26 @ But when two years had elapsed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and desiring to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.

rsv@Acts:25:1 @ Now when Festus had come into his province, after three days he went up to Jerusalem from Caesare'a.

rsv@Acts:25:4 @ Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesare'a, and that he himself intended to go there shortly.

rsv@Acts:25:6 @ When he had stayed among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesare'a; and the next day he took his seat on the tribunal and ordered Paul to be brought.

rsv@Acts:25:7 @ And when he had come, the Jews who had gone down from Jerusalem stood about him, bringing against him many serious charges which they could not prove.

rsv@Acts:25:8 @ Paul said in his defense, "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended at all."

rsv@Acts:25:9 @ But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, "Do you wish to go up to Jerusalem, and there be tried on these charges before me?"

rsv@Acts:25:10 @ But Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's tribunal, where I ought to be tried; to the Jews I have done no wrong, as you know very well.

rsv@Acts:25:11 @ If then I am a wrongdoer, and have committed anything for which I deserve to die, I do not seek to escape death; but if there is nothing in their charges against me, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar."

rsv@Acts:25:12 @ Then Festus, when he had conferred with his council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar; to Caesar you shall go."

rsv@Acts:25:13 @ Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the king and Berni'ce arrived at Caesare'a to welcome Festus.

rsv@Acts:25:16 @ I answered them that it was not the custom of the Romans to give up any one before the accused met the accusers face to face, and had opportunity to make his defense concerning the charge laid against him.

rsv@Acts:25:18 @ When the accusers stood up, they brought no charge in his case of such evils as I supposed;

rsv@Acts:25:20 @ Being at a loss how to investigate these questions, I asked whether he wished to go to Jerusalem and be tried there regarding them.

rsv@Acts:25:21 @ But when Paul had appealed to be kept in custody for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be held until I could send him to Caesar."

rsv@Acts:25:22 @ And Agrippa said to Festus, "I should like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," said he, "you shall hear him."

rsv@Acts:25:23 @ So on the morrow Agrippa and Berni'ce came with great pomp, and they entered the audience hall with the military tribunes and the prominent men of the city. Then by command of Festus Paul was brought in.

rsv@Acts:25:24 @ And Festus said, "King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man about whom the whole Jewish people petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, shouting that he ought not to live any longer.

rsv@Acts:25:27 @ For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to indicate the charges against him."

rsv@Acts:26:3 @ because you are especially familiar with all customs and controversies of the Jews; therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.

rsv@Acts:26:5 @ They have known for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion I have lived as a Pharisee.

rsv@Acts:26:7 @ to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly worship night and day. And for this hope I am accused by Jews, O king!

rsv@Acts:26:9 @ "I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things in opposing the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

rsv@Acts:26:14 @ And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, `Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It hurts you to kick against the goads.'

rsv@Acts:26:15 @ And I said, `Who are you, Lord?' And the Lord said, `I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.

rsv@Acts:26:16 @ But rise and stand upon your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you to serve and bear witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you,

rsv@Acts:26:18 @ to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

rsv@Acts:26:20 @ but declared first to those at Damascus, then at Jerusalem and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God and perform deeds worthy of their repentance.

rsv@Acts:26:24 @ And as he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, "Paul, you are mad; your great learning is turning you mad."

rsv@Acts:26:29 @ And Paul said, "Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am--except for these chains."

rsv@Acts:26:32 @ And Agrippa said to Festus, "This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."

rsv@Acts:27:2 @ And embarking in a ship of Adramyt'tium, which was about to sail to the ports along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, accompanied by Aristar'chus, a Macedo'nian from Thessaloni'ca.

rsv@Acts:27:3 @ The next day we put in at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go to his friends and be cared for.

rsv@Acts:27:6 @ There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and put us on board.

rsv@Acts:27:7 @ We sailed slowly for a number of days, and arrived with difficulty off Cni'dus, and as the wind did not allow us to go on, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmo'ne.

rsv@Acts:27:8 @ Coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lase'a.

rsv@Acts:27:10 @ saying, "Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives."

rsv@Acts:27:12 @ And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to put to sea from there, on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, looking northeast and southeast, and winter there.

rsv@Acts:27:17 @ after hoisting it up, they took measures to undergird the ship; then, fearing that they should run on the Syr'tis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.

rsv@Acts:27:18 @ As we were violently storm-tossed, they began next day to throw the cargo overboard;

rsv@Acts:27:20 @ And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many a day, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.

rsv@Acts:27:21 @ As they had been long without food, Paul then came forward among them and said, "Men, you should have listened to me, and should not have set sail from Crete and incurred this injury and loss.

rsv@Acts:27:22 @ I now bid you take heart; for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

rsv@Acts:27:24 @ and he said, `Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and lo, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'

rsv@Acts:27:25 @ So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told.

rsv@Acts:27:27 @ When the fourteenth night had come, as we were drifting across the sea of A'dria, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land.

rsv@Acts:27:28 @ So they sounded and found twenty fathoms; a little farther on they sounded again and found fifteen fathoms.

rsv@Acts:27:29 @ And fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let out four anchors from the stern, and prayed for day to come.

rsv@Acts:27:43 @ but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from carrying out their purpose. He ordered those who could swim to throw themselves overboard first and make for the land,

rsv@Acts:28:1 @ After we had escaped, we then learned that the island was called Malta.

rsv@Acts:28:5 @ He, however, shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm.

rsv@Acts:28:10 @ They presented many gifts to us; and when we sailed, they put on board whatever we needed.

rsv@Acts:28:13 @ And from there we made a circuit and arrived at Rhe'gium; and after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Pute'oli.

rsv@Acts:28:15 @ And the brethren there, when they heard of us, came as far as the Forum of Ap'pius and Three Taverns to meet us. On seeing them Paul thanked God and took courage.

rsv@Acts:28:16 @ And when we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier that guarded him.

rsv@Acts:28:19 @ But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar--though I had no charge to bring against my nation.

rsv@Acts:28:22 @ But we desire to hear from you what your views are; for with regard to this sect we know that everywhere it is spoken against."

rsv@Acts:28:25 @ So, as they disagreed among themselves, they departed, after Paul had made one statement: "The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet:

rsv@Acts:28:26 @ `Go to this people, and say, You shall indeed hear but never understand, and you shall indeed see but never perceive.

rsv@Acts:28:27 @ For this people's heart has grown dull, and their ears are heavy of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should perceive with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn for me to heal them.'

rsv@Romans:2:29 @ He is a Jew who is one inwardly, and real circumcision is a matter of the heart, spiritual and not literal. His praise is not from men but from God.

rsv@Romans:3:2 @ Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews are entrusted with the oracles of God.

rsv@Romans:3:4 @ By no means! Let God be true though every man be false, as it is written, "That thou mayest be justified in thy words, and prevail when thou art judged."

rsv@Romans:3:8 @ And why not do evil that good may come?--as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.

rsv@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all; for I have already charged that all men, both Jews and Greeks, are under the power of sin,

rsv@Romans:3:15 @ "Their feet are swift to shed blood,

rsv@Romans:3:16 @ in their paths are ruin and misery,

rsv@Romans:3:18 @ "There is no fear of God before their eyes."

rsv@Romans:3:19 @ Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God.

rsv@Romans:3:21 @ But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from law, although the law and the prophets bear witness to it,

rsv@Romans:3:24 @ they are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus,

rsv@Romans:3:25 @ whom God put forward as an expiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins;

rsv@Romans:3:28 @ For we hold that a man is justified by faith apart from works of law.

rsv@Romans:3:31 @ Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.

rsv@Romans:4:4 @ Now to one who works, his wages are not reckoned as a gift but as his due.

rsv@Romans:4:6 @ So also David pronounces a blessing upon the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:

rsv@Romans:4:7 @ "Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;

rsv@Romans:4:12 @ and likewise the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but also follow the example of the faith which our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

rsv@Romans:4:14 @ If it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void.

rsv@Romans:4:16 @ That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his descendants-- not only to the adherents of the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, for he is the father of us all,

rsv@Romans:4:19 @ He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb.

rsv@Romans:5:1 @ Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

rsv@Romans:5:2 @ Through him we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in our hope of sharing the glory of God.

rsv@Romans:5:4 @ and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,

rsv@Romans:5:5 @ and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us.

rsv@Romans:5:7 @ Why, one will hardly die for a righteous man--though perhaps for a good man one will dare even to die.

rsv@Romans:5:9 @ Since, therefore, we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

rsv@Romans:5:10 @ For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

rsv@Romans:6:1 @ What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?

rsv@Romans:6:14 @ For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

rsv@Romans:6:15 @ What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!

rsv@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that if you yield yourselves to any one as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

rsv@Romans:6:17 @ But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,

rsv@Romans:6:20 @ When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

rsv@Romans:6:21 @ But then what return did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death.

rsv@Romans:7:2 @ Thus a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband dies she is discharged from the law concerning the husband.

rsv@Romans:7:3 @ Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.

rsv@Romans:7:4 @ Likewise, my brethren, you have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God.

rsv@Romans:7:5 @ While we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.

rsv@Romans:7:6 @ But now we are discharged from the law, dead to that which held us captive, so that we serve not under the old written code but in the new life of the Spirit.

rsv@Romans:7:8 @ But sin, finding opportunity in the commandment, wrought in me all kinds of covetousness. Apart from the law sin lies dead.

rsv@Romans:7:9 @ I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died;

rsv@Romans:7:14 @ We know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.

rsv@Romans:7:23 @ but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members.

rsv@Romans:8:1 @ There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

rsv@Romans:8:8 @ and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

rsv@Romans:8:9 @ But you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Any one who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

rsv@Romans:8:10 @ But if Christ is in you, although your bodies are dead because of sin, your spirits are alive because of righteousness.

rsv@Romans:8:12 @ So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh--

rsv@Romans:8:14 @ For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

rsv@Romans:8:15 @ For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship. When we cry, "Abba! Father!"

rsv@Romans:8:16 @ it is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

rsv@Romans:8:18 @ I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

rsv@Romans:8:23 @ and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

rsv@Romans:8:27 @ And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

rsv@Romans:8:28 @ We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.

rsv@Romans:8:32 @ He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him?

rsv@Romans:8:33 @ Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies;

rsv@Romans:8:35 @ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

rsv@Romans:8:36 @ As it is written, "For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."

rsv@Romans:8:37 @ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

rsv@Romans:8:39 @ nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

rsv@Romans:9:1 @ I am speaking the truth in Christ, I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit,

rsv@Romans:9:2 @ that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.

rsv@Romans:9:4 @ They are Israelites, and to them belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises;

rsv@Romans:9:5 @ to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ. God who is over all be blessed for ever. Amen.

rsv@Romans:9:6 @ But it is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel,

rsv@Romans:9:7 @ and not all are children of Abraham because they are his descendants; but "Through Isaac shall your descendants be named."

rsv@Romans:9:8 @ This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are reckoned as descendants.

rsv@Romans:9:9 @ For this is what the promise said, "About this time I will return and Sarah shall have a son."

rsv@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means!

rsv@Romans:9:17 @ For the scripture says to Pharaoh, "I have raised you up for the very purpose of showing my power in you, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth."

rsv@Romans:9:18 @ So then he has mercy upon whomever he wills, and he hardens the heart of whomever he wills.

rsv@Romans:9:20 @ But who are you, a man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me thus?"

rsv@Romans:9:23 @ in order to make known the riches of his glory for the vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory,

rsv@Romans:9:26 @ "And in the very place where it was said to them, `You are not my people,' they will be called `sons of the living God.'"

rsv@Romans:9:28 @ for the Lord will execute his sentence upon the earth with rigor and dispatch."

rsv@Romans:9:29 @ And as Isaiah predicted, "If the Lord of hosts had not left us children, we would have fared like Sodom and been made like Gomor'rah."

rsv@Romans:10:1 @ Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.

rsv@Romans:10:2 @ I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened.

rsv@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness based on faith says, Do not say in your heart, "Who will ascend into heaven?" (that is, to bring Christ down)

rsv@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say? The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart (that is, the word of faith which we preach);

rsv@Romans:10:9 @ because, if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

rsv@Romans:10:10 @ For man believes with his heart and so is justified, and he confesses with his lips and so is saved.

rsv@Romans:10:14 @ But how are men to call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?

rsv@Romans:10:15 @ And how can men preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach good news!"

rsv@Romans:10:16 @ But they have not all obeyed the gospel; for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?"

rsv@Romans:10:17 @ So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the preaching of Christ.

rsv@Romans:10:18 @ But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."

rsv@Romans:10:19 @ Again I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, "I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry."

rsv@Romans:10:21 @ But of Israel he says, "All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people."

rsv@Romans:11:3 @ "Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have demolished thy altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life."

rsv@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel failed to obtain what it sought. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened,

rsv@Romans:11:8 @ as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that should not see and ears that should not hear, down to this very day."

rsv@Romans:11:9 @ And David says, "Let their table become a snare and a trap, a pitfall and a retribution for them;

rsv@Romans:11:10 @ let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and bend their backs for ever."

rsv@Romans:11:16 @ If the dough offered as first fruits is holy, so is the whole lump; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

rsv@Romans:11:17 @ But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in their place to share the richness of the olive tree,

rsv@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

rsv@Romans:11:22 @ Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off.

rsv@Romans:11:24 @ For if you have been cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree.

rsv@Romans:11:25 @ Lest you be wise in your own conceits, I want you to understand this mystery, brethren: a hardening has come upon part of Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles come in,

rsv@Romans:11:28 @ As regards the gospel they are enemies of God, for your sake; but as regards election they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers.

rsv@Romans:11:29 @ For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.

rsv@Romans:11:33 @ O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!

rsv@Romans:11:36 @ For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory for ever. Amen.

rsv@Romans:12:5 @ so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

rsv@Romans:12:16 @ Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; never be conceited.

rsv@Romans:12:18 @ If possible, so far as it depends upon you, live peaceably with all.

rsv@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of him who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval,

rsv@Romans:13:4 @ for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain; he is the servant of God to execute his wrath on the wrongdoer.

rsv@Romans:13:6 @ For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing.

rsv@Romans:13:7 @ Pay all of them their dues, taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.

rsv@Romans:13:9 @ The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other commandment, are summed up in this sentence, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

rsv@Romans:13:11 @ Besides this you know what hour it is, how it is full time now for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed;

rsv@Romans:13:12 @ the night is far gone, the day is at hand. Let us then cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light;

rsv@Romans:13:13 @ let us conduct ourselves becomingly as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy.

rsv@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Master is able to make him stand.

rsv@Romans:14:8 @ If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.

rsv@Romans:14:15 @ If your brother is being injured by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not let what you eat cause the ruin of one for whom Christ died.

rsv@Romans:15:1 @ We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves;

rsv@Romans:15:5 @ May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus,

rsv@Romans:15:8 @ For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs,

rsv@Romans:15:14 @ I myself am satisfied about you, my brethren, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to instruct one another.

rsv@Romans:15:19 @ by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that from Jerusalem and as far round as Illyr'icum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ,

rsv@Romans:15:21 @ but as it is written, "They shall see who have never been told of him, and they shall understand who have never heard of him."

rsv@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth;

rsv@1Corinthians:1:28 @ God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are,

rsv@1Corinthians:2:3 @ And I was with you in weakness and in much fear and trembling;

rsv@1Corinthians:7:32 @ I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord;

rsv@1Corinthians:7:33 @ but the married man is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please his wife,

rsv@1Corinthians:7:36 @ If any one thinks that he is not behaving properly toward his betrothed, if his passions are strong, and it has to be, let him do as he wishes: let them marry--it is no sin.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:37 @ But whoever is firmly established in his heart, being under no necessity but having his desire under control, and has determined this in his heart, to keep her as his betrothed, he will do well.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So that he who marries his betrothed does well; and he who refrains from marriage will do better.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. If the husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

rsv@1Corinthians:8:5 @ For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth--as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"--

rsv@1Corinthians:8:6 @ yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.

rsv@1Corinthians:8:8 @ Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.

rsv@1Corinthians:8:9 @ Only take care lest this liberty of yours somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:1 @ Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you my workmanship in the Lord?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard without eating any of its fruit? Who tends a flock without getting some of the milk?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Does he not speak entirely for our sake? It was written for our sake, because the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of a share in the crop.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others share this rightful claim upon you, do not we still more? Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with a commission.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What then is my reward? Just this: that in my preaching I may make the gospel free of charge, not making full use of my right in the gospel.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:21 @ To those outside the law I became as one outside the law--not being without law toward God but under the law of Christ--that I might win those outside the law.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:23 @ I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:6 @ Now these things are warnings for us, not to desire evil as they did.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:11 @ Now these things happened to them as a warning, but they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the end of the ages has come.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:16 @ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?

rsv@1Corinthians:10:17 @ Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:18 @ Consider the people of Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar?

rsv@1Corinthians:10:20 @ No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:21 @ You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:22 @ Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

rsv@1Corinthians:10:23 @ "All things are lawful," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful," but not all things build up.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:25 @ Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:26 @ For "the earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."

rsv@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:30 @ If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?

rsv@1Corinthians:11:6 @ For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:12 @ for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.)

rsv@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him,

rsv@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For, in the first place, when you assemble as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it,

rsv@1Corinthians:11:19 @ for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:30 @ That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:32 @ But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened so that we may not be condemned along with the world.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:4 @ Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;

rsv@1Corinthians:12:5 @ and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord;

rsv@1Corinthians:12:6 @ and there are varieties of working, but it is the same God who inspires them all in every one.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:11 @ All these are inspired by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:17 @ If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell?

rsv@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But as it is, God arranged the organs in the body, each one of them, as he chose.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:20 @ As it is, there are many parts, yet one body.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:22 @ On the contrary, the parts of the body which seem to be weaker are indispensable,

rsv@1Corinthians:12:23 @ and those parts of the body which we think less honorable we invest with the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty,

rsv@1Corinthians:12:24 @ which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving the greater honor to the inferior part,

rsv@1Corinthians:12:25 @ that there may be no discord in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:27 @ Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers, helpers, administrators, speakers in various kinds of tongues.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:29 @ Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?

rsv@1Corinthians:12:31 @ But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:5 @ it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;

rsv@1Corinthians:13:7 @ Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:1 @ Make love your aim, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:7 @ If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will any one know what is played?

rsv@1Corinthians:14:10 @ There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning;

rsv@1Corinthians:14:12 @ So with yourselves; since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:16 @ Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how can any one in the position of an outsider say the "Amen" to your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying?

rsv@1Corinthians:14:22 @ Thus, tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is not for unbelievers but for believers.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:23 @ If, therefore, the whole church assembles and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?

rsv@1Corinthians:14:25 @ the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:31 @ For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged;

rsv@1Corinthians:14:32 @ and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:34 @ the women should keep silence in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:36 @ What! Did the word of God originate with you, or are you the only ones it has reached?

rsv@1Corinthians:14:39 @ So, my brethren, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues;

rsv@1Corinthians:15:2 @ by which you are saved, if you hold it fast--unless you believed in vain.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:6 @ Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:7 @ Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:8 @ Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God which is with me.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:15 @ We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:16 @ For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:17 @ If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:19 @ If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most to be pitied.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:27 @ "For God has put all things in subjection under his feet." But when it says, "All things are put in subjection under him," it is plain that he is excepted who put all things under him.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:28 @ When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things under him, that God may be everything to every one.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf?

rsv@1Corinthians:15:32 @ What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."

rsv@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But some one will ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?"

rsv@1Corinthians:15:37 @ And what you sow is not the body which is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are celestial bodies and there are terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:41 @ There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:47 @ The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:48 @ As was the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; and as is the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:49 @ Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the contribution for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:3 @ And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:9 @ for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The churches of Asia send greetings. Aq'uila and Prisca, together with the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother. To the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Acha'ia:

rsv@2Corinthians:1:4 @ who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:5 @ For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:6 @ If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:7 @ Our hope for you is unshaken; for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of the affliction we experienced in Asia; for we were so utterly, unbearably crushed that we despaired of life itself.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience that we have behaved in the world, and still more toward you, with holiness and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:14 @ as you have understood in part, that you can be proud of us as we can be of you, on the day of the Lord Jesus.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:22 @ he has put his seal upon us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:23 @ But I call God to witness against me--it was to spare you that I refrained from coming to Corinth.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For I wrote you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:11 @ to keep Satan from gaining the advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his designs.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:15 @ For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,

rsv@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word; but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you?

rsv@2Corinthians:3:2 @ You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on your hearts, to be known and read by all men;

rsv@2Corinthians:3:3 @ and you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:4 @ Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God,

rsv@2Corinthians:3:7 @ Now if the dispensation of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such splendor that the Israelites could not look at Moses' face because of its brightness, fading as this was,

rsv@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if there was splendor in the dispensation of condemnation, the dispensation of righteousness must far exceed it in splendor.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:12 @ Since we have such a hope, we are very bold,

rsv@2Corinthians:3:14 @ But their minds were hardened; for to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:18 @ And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:3 @ And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:6 @ For it is the God who said, "Let light 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 Christ.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:8 @ We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;

rsv@2Corinthians:4:10 @ always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For while we live we are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:16 @ So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed every day.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:17 @ For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,

rsv@2Corinthians:4:18 @ because we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:1 @ For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For while we are still in this tent, we sigh with anxiety; not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:5 @ He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:6 @ So we are always of good courage; we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord,

rsv@2Corinthians:5:8 @ We are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:9 @ So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive good or evil, according to what he has done in the body.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not commending ourselves to you again but giving you cause to be proud of us, so that you may be able to answer those who pride themselves on a man's position and not on his heart.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:13 @ For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:16 @ From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once regarded Christ from a human point of view, we regard him thus no longer.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:20 @ So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:4 @ but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities,

rsv@2Corinthians:6:6 @ by purity, knowledge, forbearance, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love,

rsv@2Corinthians:6:8 @ in honor and dishonor, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true;

rsv@2Corinthians:6:11 @ Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:12 @ You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:13 @ In return--I speak as to children--widen your hearts also.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not be mismated with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

rsv@2Corinthians:6:16 @ What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will live in them and move among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:17 @ Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you,

rsv@2Corinthians:7:1 @ Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, and make holiness perfect in the fear of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Open your hearts to us; we have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I do not say this to condemn you, for I said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For even when we came into Macedo'nia, our bodies had no rest but we were afflicted at every turn--fighting without and fear within.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you have proved yourselves guiltless in the matter.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:13 @ Therefore we are comforted. And besides our own comfort we rejoiced still more at the joy of Titus, because his mind has been set at rest by you all.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his heart goes out all the more to you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, and the fear and trembling with which you received him.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:2 @ for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of liberality on their part.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:4 @ begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints--

rsv@2Corinthians:8:7 @ Now as you excel in everything--in faith, in utterance, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in your love for us--see that you excel in this gracious work also.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:10 @ And in this matter I give my advice: it is best for you now to complete what a year ago you began not only to do but to desire,

rsv@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks be to God who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very earnest he is going to you of his own accord.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:18 @ With him we are sending the brother who is famous among all the churches for his preaching of the gospel;

rsv@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but he has been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work which we are carrying on, for the glory of the Lord and to show our good will.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:20 @ We intend that no one should blame us about this liberal gift which we are administering,

rsv@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And with them we are sending our brother whom we have often tested and found earnest in many matters, but who is now more earnest than ever because of his great confidence in you.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:23 @ As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker in your service; and as for our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:2 @ for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the people of Macedo'nia, saying that Acha'ia has been ready since last year; and your zeal has stirred up most of them.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:4 @ lest if some Macedo'nians come with me and find that you are not ready, we be humiliated--to say nothing of you--for being so confident.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren to go on to you before me, and arrange in advance for this gift you have promised, so that it may be ready not as an exaction but as a willing gift.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:6 @ The point is this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:10 @ He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your resources and increase the harvest of your righteousness.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:3 @ For though we live in the world we are not carrying on a worldly war,

rsv@2Corinthians:10:4 @ for the weapons of our warfare are not worldly but have divine power to destroy strongholds.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:5 @ We destroy arguments and every proud obstacle to the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,

rsv@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Look at what is before your eyes. If any one is confident that he is Christ's, let him remind himself that as he is Christ's, so are we.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:10 @ For they say, "His letters are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account."

rsv@2Corinthians:10:12 @ Not that we venture to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another, and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we are not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach you; we were the first to come all the way to you with the gospel of Christ.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We do not boast beyond limit, in other men's labors; but our hope is that as your faith increases, our field among you may be greatly enlarged,

rsv@2Corinthians:11:1 @ I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me!

rsv@2Corinthians:11:13 @ For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:19 @ For you gladly bear with fools, being wise yourselves!

rsv@2Corinthians:11:20 @ For you bear it if a man makes slaves of you, or preys upon you, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or strikes you in the face.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:21 @ To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever any one dares to boast of--I am speaking as a fool--I also dare to boast of that.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:22 @ Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one--I am talking like a madman--with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:27 @ in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:28 @ And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure upon me of my anxiety for all the churches.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:32 @ At Damascus, the governor under King Ar'etas guarded the city of Damascus in order to seize me,

rsv@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:3 @ And I know that this man was caught up into Paradise--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows--

rsv@2Corinthians:12:4 @ and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:6 @ Though if I wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for I shall be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And to keep me from being too elated by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to harass me, to keep me from being too elated.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:10 @ For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Here for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden, for I seek not what is yours but you; for children ought not to lay up for their parents, but parents for their children.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I fear that perhaps I may come and find you not what I wish, and that you may find me not what you wish; that perhaps there may be quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:21 @ I fear that when I come again my God may humble me before you, and I may have to mourn over many of those who sinned before and have not repented of the impurity, immorality, and licentiousness which they have practiced.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:1 @ This is the third time I am coming to you. Any charge must be sustained by the evidence of two or three witnesses.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I warned those who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come again I will not spare them--

rsv@2Corinthians:13:4 @ For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we are weak in him, but in dealing with you we shall live with him by the power of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Examine yourselves, to see whether you are holding to your faith. Test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you?--unless indeed you fail to meet the test!

rsv@2Corinthians:13:7 @ But we pray God that you may not do wrong--not that we may appear to have met the test, but that you may do what is right, though we may seem to have failed.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:9 @ For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. What we pray for is your improvement.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:10 @ I write this while I am away from you, in order that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Finally, brethren, farewell. Mend your ways, heed my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

rsv@Galatians:1:2 @ and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia:

rsv@Galatians:1:6 @ I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and turning to a different gospel--

rsv@Galatians:1:7 @ not that there is another gospel, but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.

rsv@Galatians:1:8 @ But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed.

rsv@Galatians:1:9 @ As we have said before, so now I say again, If any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed.

rsv@Galatians:1:13 @ For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it;

rsv@Galatians:1:15 @ But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and had called me through his grace,

rsv@Galatians:1:17 @ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned to Damascus.

rsv@Galatians:1:18 @ Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days.

rsv@Galatians:1:23 @ they only heard it said, "He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy."

rsv@Galatians:2:1 @ Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me.

rsv@Galatians:2:6 @ And from those who were reputed to be something (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)--those, I say, who were of repute added nothing to me;

rsv@Galatians:2:7 @ but on the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised

rsv@Galatians:2:9 @ and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised;

rsv@Galatians:2:12 @ For before certain men came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party.

rsv@Galatians:2:13 @ And with him the rest of the Jews acted insincerely, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their insincerity.

rsv@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?"

rsv@Galatians:2:15 @ We ourselves, who are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,

rsv@Galatians:3:2 @ Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?

rsv@Galatians:3:3 @ Are you so foolish? Having begun with the Spirit, are you now ending with the flesh?

rsv@Galatians:3:5 @ Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?

rsv@Galatians:3:7 @ So you see that it is men of faith who are the sons of Abraham.

rsv@Galatians:3:9 @ So then, those who are men of faith are blessed with Abraham who had faith.

rsv@Galatians:3:10 @ For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be every one who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, and do them."

rsv@Galatians:3:17 @ This is what I mean: the law, which came four hundred and thirty years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void.

rsv@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made; and it was ordained by angels through an intermediary.

rsv@Galatians:3:20 @ Now an intermediary implies more than one; but God is one.

rsv@Galatians:3:25 @ But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a custodian;

rsv@Galatians:3:26 @ for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.

rsv@Galatians:3:28 @ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

rsv@Galatians:3:29 @ And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.

rsv@Galatians:4:2 @ but he is under guardians and trustees until the date set by the father.

rsv@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"

rsv@Galatians:4:7 @ So through God you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then an heir.

rsv@Galatians:4:8 @ Formerly, when you did not know God, you were in bondage to beings that by nature are no gods;

rsv@Galatians:4:9 @ but now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and beggarly elemental spirits, whose slaves you want to be once more?

rsv@Galatians:4:10 @ You observe days, and months, and seasons, and years!

rsv@Galatians:4:12 @ Brethren, I beseech you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong;

rsv@Galatians:4:15 @ What has become of the satisfaction you felt? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

rsv@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you who desire to be under law, do you not hear the law?

rsv@Galatians:4:24 @ Now this is an allegory: these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar.

rsv@Galatians:4:25 @ Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

rsv@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, "Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and shout, you who are not in travail; for the children of the desolate one are many more than the children of her that is married."

rsv@Galatians:4:28 @ Now we, brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise.

rsv@Galatians:4:31 @ So, brethren, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman.

rsv@Galatians:5:4 @ You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.

rsv@Galatians:5:10 @ I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view than mine; and he who is troubling you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

rsv@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you bite and devour one another take heed that you are not consumed by one another.

rsv@Galatians:5:17 @ For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would.

rsv@Galatians:5:18 @ But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law.

rsv@Galatians:5:19 @ Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication, impurity, licentiousness,

rsv@Galatians:5:20 @ idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit,

rsv@Galatians:5:21 @ envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

rsv@Galatians:6:1 @ Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted.

rsv@Galatians:6:2 @ Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

rsv@Galatians:6:5 @ For each man will have to bear his own load.

rsv@Galatians:6:6 @ Let him who is taught the word share all good things with him who teaches.

rsv@Galatians:6:9 @ And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.

rsv@Galatians:6:10 @ So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

rsv@Galatians:6:11 @ See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.

rsv@Galatians:6:14 @ But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

rsv@Galatians:6:17 @ Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

rsv@Ephesians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are also faithful in Christ Jesus:

rsv@Ephesians:1:10 @ as a plan for the fulness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

rsv@Ephesians:1:13 @ In him you also, who have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

rsv@Ephesians:1:14 @ which is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

rsv@Ephesians:1:15 @ For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints,

rsv@Ephesians:1:18 @ having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

rsv@Ephesians:1:21 @ far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come;

rsv@Ephesians:2:7 @ that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

rsv@Ephesians:2:10 @ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

rsv@Ephesians:2:12 @ remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

rsv@Ephesians:2:13 @ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near in the blood of Christ.

rsv@Ephesians:2:17 @ And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near;

rsv@Ephesians:2:19 @ So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,

rsv@Ephesians:2:22 @ in whom you also are built into it for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

rsv@Ephesians:3:2 @ assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you,

rsv@Ephesians:3:6 @ that is, how the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

rsv@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

rsv@Ephesians:3:13 @ So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.

rsv@Ephesians:3:15 @ from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

rsv@Ephesians:3:17 @ and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

rsv@Ephesians:3:20 @ Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think,

rsv@Ephesians:4:2 @ with all lowliness and meekness, with patience, forbearing one another in love,

rsv@Ephesians:4:9 @ (In saying, "He ascended," what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth?

rsv@Ephesians:4:10 @ He who descended is he who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)

rsv@Ephesians:4:14 @ so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles.

rsv@Ephesians:4:15 @ Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,

rsv@Ephesians:4:16 @ from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every joint with which it is supplied, when each part is working properly, makes bodily growth and upbuilds itself in love.

rsv@Ephesians:4:18 @ they are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart;

rsv@Ephesians:4:20 @ You did not so learn Christ!--

rsv@Ephesians:4:21 @ assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus.

rsv@Ephesians:4:25 @ Therefore, putting away falsehood, let every one speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.

rsv@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for edifying, as fits the occasion, that it may impart grace to those who hear.

rsv@Ephesians:4:32 @ and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

rsv@Ephesians:5:4 @ Let there be no filthiness, nor silly talk, nor levity, which are not fitting; but instead let there be thanksgiving.

rsv@Ephesians:5:8 @ for once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light

rsv@Ephesians:5:10 @ and try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.

rsv@Ephesians:5:11 @ Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.

rsv@Ephesians:5:14 @ Therefore it is said, "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light."

rsv@Ephesians:5:15 @ Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,

rsv@Ephesians:5:16 @ making the most of the time, because the days are evil.

rsv@Ephesians:5:19 @ addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart,

rsv@Ephesians:5:30 @ because we are members of his body.

rsv@Ephesians:6:1 @ Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

rsv@Ephesians:6:3 @ "that it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth."

rsv@Ephesians:6:5 @ Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as to Christ;

rsv@Ephesians:6:6 @ not in the way of eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

rsv@Ephesians:6:9 @ Masters, do the same to them, and forbear threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.

rsv@Ephesians:6:11 @ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

rsv@Ephesians:6:12 @ For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

rsv@Ephesians:6:13 @ Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

rsv@Ephesians:6:16 @ besides all these, taking the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the flaming darts of the evil one.

rsv@Ephesians:6:20 @ for which I am an ambassador in chains; that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

rsv@Ephesians:6:22 @ I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts.

rsv@Philippians:1:5 @ thankful for your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.

rsv@Philippians:1:7 @ It is right for me to feel thus about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel.

rsv@Philippians:1:8 @ For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.

rsv@Philippians:1:13 @ so that it has become known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ;

rsv@Philippians:1:14 @ and most of the brethren have been made confident in the Lord because of my imprisonment, and are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.

rsv@Philippians:1:17 @ the former proclaim Christ out of partisanship, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment.

rsv@Philippians:1:23 @ I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.

rsv@Philippians:1:24 @ But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.

rsv@Philippians:1:27 @ Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel,

rsv@Philippians:1:28 @ and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear omen to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God.

rsv@Philippians:1:30 @ engaged in the same conflict which you saw and now hear to be mine.

rsv@Philippians:2:12 @ Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

rsv@Philippians:2:20 @ I have no one like him, who will be genuinely anxious for your welfare.

rsv@Philippians:2:25 @ I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphrodi'tus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need,

rsv@Philippians:2:26 @ for he has been longing for you all, and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill.

rsv@Philippians:2:27 @ Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

rsv@Philippians:2:30 @ for he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete your service to me.

rsv@Philippians:3:3 @ For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh.

rsv@Philippians:3:5 @ circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law a Pharisee,

rsv@Philippians:3:13 @ Brethren, I do not consider that I have made it my own; but one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,

rsv@Philippians:3:14 @ I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

rsv@Philippians:3:15 @ Let those of us who are mature be thus minded; and if in anything you are otherwise minded, God will reveal that also to you.

rsv@Philippians:3:17 @ Brethren, join in imitating me, and mark those who so live as you have an example in us.

rsv@Philippians:3:18 @ For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

rsv@Philippians:3:19 @ Their end is destruction, their god is the belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.

rsv@Philippians:4:3 @ And I ask you also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they have labored side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

rsv@Philippians:4:5 @ Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand.

rsv@Philippians:4:7 @ And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

rsv@Philippians:4:9 @ What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do; and the God of peace will be with you.

rsv@Philippians:4:11 @ Not that I complain of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content.

rsv@Philippians:4:12 @ I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want.

rsv@Philippians:4:14 @ Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble.

rsv@Philippians:4:15 @ And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedo'nia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving except you only;

rsv@Philippians:4:22 @ All the saints greet you, especially those of Caesar's household.

rsv@Colossians:1:4 @ because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have for all the saints,

rsv@Colossians:2:15 @ He disarmed the principalities and powers and made a public example of them, triumphing over them in him.

rsv@Colossians:2:16 @ Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a sabbath.

rsv@Colossians:2:17 @ These are only a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

rsv@Colossians:2:22 @ (referring to things which all perish as they are used), according to human precepts and doctrines?

rsv@Colossians:2:23 @ These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting rigor of devotion and self-abasement and severity to the body, but they are of no value in checking the indulgence of the flesh.

rsv@Colossians:3:1 @ If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

rsv@Colossians:3:2 @ Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

rsv@Colossians:4:10 @ Aristar'chus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions--if he comes to you, receive him),

rsv@Colossians:4:11 @ and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.

rsv@Colossians:4:12 @ Ep'aphras, who is one of yourselves, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always remembering you earnestly in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.

rsv@Colossians:4:13 @ For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in La-odice'a and in Hi-erap'olis.

rsv@Colossians:4:17 @ And say to Archip'pus, "See that you fulfil the ministry which you have received in the Lord."

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ but though we had already suffered and been shamefully treated at Philip'pi, as you know, we had courage in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in the face of great opposition.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please men, but to please God who tests our hearts.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ But we were gentle among you, like a nurse taking care of her children.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our behavior to you believers;

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ for you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judea; for you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews,

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But since we were bereft of you, brethren, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face;

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:20 @ For you are our glory and joy.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ Therefore when we could bear it no longer, we were willing to be left behind at Athens alone,

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent that I might know your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and that our labor would be in vain.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ praying earnestly night and day that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith?

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ so that he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Finally, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God, just as you are doing, you do so more and more.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we solemnly forewarned you.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ to aspire to live quietly, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we charged you;

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel's call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first;

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall always be with the Lord.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you are not in darkness, brethren, for that day to surprise you like a thief.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ For you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:7 @ For those who sleep sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ But we beseech you, brethren, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the idlers, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as is fitting, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ Therefore we ourselves boast of you in the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you are enduring.

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be made worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering--

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and to grant rest with us to you who are afflicted, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at in all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ And then the lawless one will be revealed, and the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by his appearing and his coming.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and with all wicked deception for those who are to perish, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:17 @ comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:3 @ But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from evil.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things which we command.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:5 @ May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that some of you are living in idleness, mere busybodies, not doing any work.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work in quietness and to earn their own living.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ Brethren, do not be weary in well-doing.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:15 @ Do not look on him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:17 @ I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. This is the mark in every letter of mine; it is the way I write.

rsv@1Timothy:1:3 @ As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine,

rsv@1Timothy:1:5 @ whereas the aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith.

rsv@1Timothy:1:7 @ desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make assertions.

rsv@1Timothy:1:10 @ immoral persons, sodomites, kidnapers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine,

rsv@1Timothy:1:14 @ and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

rsv@1Timothy:1:18 @ This charge I commit to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophetic utterances which pointed to you, that inspired by them you may wage the good warfare,

rsv@1Timothy:1:20 @ among them Hymenae'us and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.

rsv@1Timothy:2:2 @ for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way.

rsv@1Timothy:2:8 @ I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;

rsv@1Timothy:2:9 @ also that women should adorn themselves modestly and sensibly in seemly apparel, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly attire

rsv@1Timothy:2:11 @ Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness.

rsv@1Timothy:2:15 @ Yet woman will be saved through bearing children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.

rsv@1Timothy:3:3 @ no drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, and no lover of money.

rsv@1Timothy:3:5 @ for if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for God's church?

rsv@1Timothy:3:7 @ moreover he must be well thought of by outsiders, or he may fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

rsv@1Timothy:3:9 @ they must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.

rsv@1Timothy:3:15 @ if I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth.

rsv@1Timothy:4:1 @ Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,

rsv@1Timothy:4:2 @ through the pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared,

rsv@1Timothy:4:3 @ who forbid marriage and enjoin abstinence from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

rsv@1Timothy:4:16 @ Take heed to yourself and to your teaching; hold to that, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.

rsv@1Timothy:5:3 @ Honor widows who are real widows.

rsv@1Timothy:5:4 @ If a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn their religious duty to their own family and make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

rsv@1Timothy:5:9 @ Let a widow be enrolled if she is not less than sixty years of age, having been the wife of one husband;

rsv@1Timothy:5:11 @ But refuse to enrol younger widows; for when they grow wanton against Christ they desire to marry,

rsv@1Timothy:5:13 @ Besides that, they learn to be idlers, gadding about from house to house, and not only idlers but gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not.

rsv@1Timothy:5:14 @ So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, rule their households, and give the enemy no occasion to revile us.

rsv@1Timothy:5:16 @ If any believing woman has relatives who are widows, let her assist them; let the church not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are real widows.

rsv@1Timothy:5:19 @ Never admit any charge against an elder except on the evidence of two or three witnesses.

rsv@1Timothy:5:20 @ As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear.

rsv@1Timothy:5:21 @ In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels I charge you to keep these rules without favor, doing nothing from partiality.

rsv@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, nor participate in another man's sins; keep yourself pure.

rsv@1Timothy:5:24 @ The sins of some men are conspicuous, pointing to judgment, but the sins of others appear later.

rsv@1Timothy:5:25 @ So also good deeds are conspicuous; and even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden.

rsv@1Timothy:6:1 @ Let all who are under the yoke of slavery regard their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be defamed.

rsv@1Timothy:6:2 @ Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brethren; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their service are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these duties.

rsv@1Timothy:6:5 @ and wrangling among men who are depraved in mind and bereft of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.

rsv@1Timothy:6:9 @ But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and hurtful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.

rsv@1Timothy:6:10 @ For the love of money is the root of all evils; it is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced their hearts with many pangs.

rsv@1Timothy:6:14 @ I charge you to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;

rsv@1Timothy:6:17 @ As for the rich in this world, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on uncertain riches but on God who richly furnishes us with everything to enjoy.

rsv@1Timothy:6:18 @ They are to do good, to be rich in good deeds, liberal and generous,

rsv@1Timothy:6:20 @ O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the godless chatter and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge,

rsv@1Timothy:6:21 @ for by professing it some have missed the mark as regards the faith. Grace be with you.

rsv@2Timothy:1:3 @ I thank God whom I serve with a clear conscience, as did my fathers, when I remember you constantly in my prayers.

rsv@2Timothy:1:4 @ As I remember your tears, I long night and day to see you, that I may be filled with joy.

rsv@2Timothy:1:8 @ Do not be ashamed then of testifying to our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel in the power of God,

rsv@2Timothy:1:10 @ and now has manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

rsv@2Timothy:1:12 @ and therefore I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am sure that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me.

rsv@2Timothy:1:13 @ Follow the pattern of the sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus;

rsv@2Timothy:1:14 @ guard the truth that has been entrusted to you by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us.

rsv@2Timothy:1:15 @ You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away from me, and among them Phy'gelus and Hermog'enes.

rsv@2Timothy:1:17 @ but when he arrived in Rome he searched for me eagerly and found me--

rsv@2Timothy:2:2 @ and what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

rsv@2Timothy:2:3 @ Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

rsv@2Timothy:2:6 @ It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops.

rsv@2Timothy:2:9 @ the gospel for which I am suffering and wearing fetters like a criminal. But the word of God is not fettered.

rsv@2Timothy:2:13 @ if we are faithless, he remains faithful-- for he cannot deny himself.

rsv@2Timothy:2:14 @ Remind them of this, and charge them before the Lord to avoid disputing about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.

rsv@2Timothy:2:17 @ and their talk will eat its way like gangrene. Among them are Hymenae'us and Phile'tus,

rsv@2Timothy:2:18 @ who have swerved from the truth by holding that the resurrection is past already. They are upsetting the faith of some.

rsv@2Timothy:2:19 @ But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity."

rsv@2Timothy:2:20 @ In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and earthenware, and some for noble use, some for ignoble.

rsv@2Timothy:2:22 @ So shun youthful passions and aim at righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call upon the Lord from a pure heart.

rsv@2Timothy:2:23 @ Have nothing to do with stupid, senseless controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.

rsv@2Timothy:2:24 @ And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kindly to every one, an apt teacher, forbearing,

rsv@2Timothy:2:26 @ and they may escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.

rsv@2Timothy:3:2 @ For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

rsv@2Timothy:3:6 @ For among them are those who make their way into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and swayed by various impulses,

rsv@2Timothy:3:7 @ who will listen to anybody and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth.

rsv@2Timothy:3:9 @ but they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

rsv@2Timothy:3:14 @ But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it

rsv@2Timothy:3:15 @ and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

rsv@2Timothy:4:1 @ I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:

rsv@2Timothy:4:3 @ For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings,

rsv@2Timothy:4:6 @ For I am already on the point of being sacrificed; the time of my departure has come.

rsv@2Timothy:4:8 @ Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

rsv@2Timothy:4:11 @ Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you; for he is very useful in serving me.

rsv@2Timothy:4:13 @ When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Tro'as, also the books, and above all the parchments.

rsv@2Timothy:4:14 @ Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will requite him for his deeds.

rsv@2Timothy:4:15 @ Beware of him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message.

rsv@2Timothy:4:16 @ At my first defense no one took my part; all deserted me. May it not be charged against them!

rsv@2Timothy:4:17 @ But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength to proclaim the message fully, that all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion's mouth.

rsv@Titus:1:6 @ if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of being profligate or insubordinate.

rsv@Titus:1:7 @ For a bishop, as God's steward, must be blameless; he must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain,

rsv@Titus:1:10 @ For there are many insubordinate men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially the circumcision party;

rsv@Titus:1:11 @ they must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for base gain what they have no right to teach.

rsv@Titus:1:12 @ One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons."

rsv@Titus:1:13 @ This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

rsv@Titus:1:15 @ To the pure all things are pure, but to the corrupt and unbelieving nothing is pure; their very minds and consciences are corrupted.

rsv@Titus:1:16 @ They profess to know God, but they deny him by their deeds; they are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good deed.

rsv@Titus:2:3 @ Bid the older women likewise to be reverent in behavior, not to be slanderers or slaves to drink; they are to teach what is good,

rsv@Titus:2:9 @ Bid slaves to be submissive to their masters and to give satisfaction in every respect; they are not to be refractory,

rsv@Titus:2:11 @ For the grace of God has appeared for the salvation of all men,

rsv@Titus:2:13 @ awaiting our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

rsv@Titus:2:14 @ who gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity and to purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds.

rsv@Titus:2:15 @ Declare these things; exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you.

rsv@Titus:3:2 @ to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all men.

rsv@Titus:3:3 @ For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by men and hating one another;

rsv@Titus:3:4 @ but when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,

rsv@Titus:3:8 @ The saying is sure. I desire you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to apply themselves to good deeds; these are excellent and profitable to men.

rsv@Titus:3:9 @ But avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels over the law, for they are unprofitable and futile.

rsv@Titus:3:12 @ When I send Artemas or Tych'icus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicop'olis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

rsv@Titus:3:14 @ And let our people learn to apply themselves to good deeds, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not to be unfruitful.

rsv@Titus:3:15 @ All who are with me send greetings to you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.

rsv@Philemon:1:2 @ and Ap'phia our sister and Archip'pus our fellow soldier, and the church in your house:

rsv@Philemon:1:5 @ because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and all the saints,

rsv@Philemon:1:6 @ and I pray that the sharing of your faith may promote the knowledge of all the good that is ours in Christ.

rsv@Philemon:1:7 @ For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.

rsv@Philemon:1:12 @ I am sending him back to you, sending my very heart.

rsv@Philemon:1:15 @ Perhaps this is why he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back for ever,

rsv@Philemon:1:17 @ So if you consider me your partner, receive him as you would receive me.

rsv@Philemon:1:18 @ If he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, charge that to my account.

rsv@Philemon:1:20 @ Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.

rsv@Philemon:1:22 @ At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping through your prayers to be granted to you.

rsv@Philemon:1:24 @ and so do Mark, Aristar'chus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

rsv@Hebrews:1:1 @ In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets;

rsv@Hebrews:1:3 @ He reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of his nature, upholding the universe by his word of power. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

rsv@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to what angel did God ever say, "Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee"? Or again, "I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son"?

rsv@Hebrews:1:10 @ And, "Thou, Lord, didst found the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of thy hands;

rsv@Hebrews:1:11 @ they will perish, but thou remainest; they will all grow old like a garment,

rsv@Hebrews:1:12 @ like a mantle thou wilt roll them up, and they will be changed. But thou art the same, and thy years will never end."

rsv@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to serve, for the sake of those who are to obtain salvation?

rsv@Hebrews:2:1 @ Therefore we must pay the closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.

rsv@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the message declared by angels was valid and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution,

rsv@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard him,

rsv@Hebrews:2:4 @ while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his own will.

rsv@Hebrews:2:5 @ For it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking.

rsv@Hebrews:2:6 @ It has been testified somewhere, "What is man that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou carest for him?

rsv@Hebrews:2:11 @ For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified have all one origin. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

rsv@Hebrews:2:14 @ Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same nature, that through death he might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil,

rsv@Hebrews:2:15 @ and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong bondage.

rsv@Hebrews:2:18 @ For because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

rsv@Hebrews:3:1 @ Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly call, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.

rsv@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ was faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house if we hold fast our confidence and pride in our hope.

rsv@Hebrews:3:7 @ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "Today, when you hear his voice,

rsv@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness,

rsv@Hebrews:3:9 @ where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years.

rsv@Hebrews:3:10 @ Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, `They always go astray in their hearts; they have not known my ways.'

rsv@Hebrews:3:12 @ Take care, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.

rsv@Hebrews:3:13 @ But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today," that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

rsv@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we share in Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end,

rsv@Hebrews:3:15 @ while it is said, "Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."

rsv@Hebrews:3:16 @ Who were they that heard and yet were rebellious? Was it not all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses?

rsv@Hebrews:3:17 @ And with whom was he provoked forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

rsv@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did he swear that they should never enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

rsv@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest remains, let us fear lest any of you be judged to have failed to reach it.

rsv@Hebrews:4:2 @ For good news came to us just as to them; but the message which they heard did not benefit them, because it did not meet with faith in the hearers.

rsv@Hebrews:4:7 @ again he sets a certain day, "Today," saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, "Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."

rsv@Hebrews:4:12 @ For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

rsv@Hebrews:4:13 @ And before him no creature is hidden, but all are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

rsv@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we have not a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

rsv@Hebrews:4:16 @ Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

rsv@Hebrews:5:2 @ He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness.

rsv@Hebrews:5:4 @ And one does not take the honor upon himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was.

rsv@Hebrews:5:5 @ So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, "Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee";

rsv@Hebrews:5:6 @ as he says also in another place, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchiz'edek."

rsv@Hebrews:5:7 @ In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard for his godly fear.

rsv@Hebrews:5:8 @ Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered;

rsv@Hebrews:5:11 @ About this we have much to say which is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

rsv@Hebrews:6:1 @ Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

rsv@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

rsv@Hebrews:6:8 @ But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed; its end is to be burned.

rsv@Hebrews:6:11 @ And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness in realizing the full assurance of hope until the end,

rsv@Hebrews:6:13 @ For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself,

rsv@Hebrews:6:16 @ Men indeed swear by a greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation.

rsv@Hebrews:6:17 @ So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he interposed with an oath,

rsv@Hebrews:7:2 @ and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace.

rsv@Hebrews:7:4 @ See how great he is! Abraham the patriarch gave him a tithe of the spoils.

rsv@Hebrews:7:5 @ And those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brethren, though these also are descended from Abraham.

rsv@Hebrews:7:8 @ Here tithes are received by mortal men; there, by one of whom it is testified that he lives.

rsv@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levit'ical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchiz'edek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron?

rsv@Hebrews:7:12 @ For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well.

rsv@Hebrews:7:13 @ For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.

rsv@Hebrews:7:15 @ This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchiz'edek,

rsv@Hebrews:7:17 @ For it is witnessed of him, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchiz'edek."

rsv@Hebrews:7:19 @ (for the law made nothing perfect); on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

rsv@Hebrews:7:21 @ Those who formerly became priests took their office without an oath, but this one was addressed with an oath, "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, `Thou art a priest for ever.'"

rsv@Hebrews:7:25 @ Consequently he is able for all time to save those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

rsv@Hebrews:7:26 @ For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, unstained, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

rsv@Hebrews:8:1 @ Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

rsv@Hebrews:8:2 @ a minister in the sanctuary and the true tent which is set up not by man but by the Lord.

rsv@Hebrews:8:3 @ For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; hence it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer.

rsv@Hebrews:8:4 @ Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law.

rsv@Hebrews:8:5 @ They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary; for when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, "See that you make everything according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain."

rsv@Hebrews:8:10 @ This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

rsv@Hebrews:8:12 @ For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more."

rsv@Hebrews:9:1 @ Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.

rsv@Hebrews:9:2 @ For a tent was prepared, the outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread of the Presence; it is called the Holy Place.

rsv@Hebrews:9:4 @ having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, which contained a golden urn holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

rsv@Hebrews:9:6 @ These preparations having thus been made, the priests go continually into the outer tent, performing their ritual duties;

rsv@Hebrews:9:7 @ but into the second only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people.

rsv@Hebrews:9:8 @ By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the sanctuary is not yet opened as long as the outer tent is still standing

rsv@Hebrews:9:9 @ (which is symbolic for the present age). According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper,

rsv@Hebrews:9:10 @ but deal only with food and drink and various ablutions, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation.

rsv@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation)

rsv@Hebrews:9:15 @ Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred which redeems them from the transgressions under the first covenant.

rsv@Hebrews:9:19 @ For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

rsv@Hebrews:9:23 @ Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

rsv@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ has entered, not into a sanctuary made with hands, a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.

rsv@Hebrews:9:25 @ Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the Holy Place yearly with blood not his own;

rsv@Hebrews:9:26 @ for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

rsv@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

rsv@Hebrews:10:1 @ For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices which are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near.

rsv@Hebrews:10:3 @ But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sin year after year.

rsv@Hebrews:10:5 @ Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, "Sacrifices and offerings thou hast not desired, but a body hast thou prepared for me;

rsv@Hebrews:10:8 @ When he said above, "Thou hast neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings" (these are offered according to the law),

rsv@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

rsv@Hebrews:10:15 @ And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,

rsv@Hebrews:10:16 @ "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,"

rsv@Hebrews:10:19 @ Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

rsv@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

rsv@Hebrews:10:25 @ not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

rsv@Hebrews:10:27 @ but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries.

rsv@Hebrews:10:31 @ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

rsv@Hebrews:10:32 @ But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings,

rsv@Hebrews:10:33 @ sometimes being publicly exposed to abuse and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated.

rsv@Hebrews:10:35 @ Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

rsv@Hebrews:10:37 @ "For yet a little while, and the coming one shall come and shall not tarry;

rsv@Hebrews:10:39 @ But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and keep their souls.

rsv@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear.

rsv@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he received approval as righteous, God bearing witness by accepting his gifts; he died, but through his faith he is still speaking.

rsv@Hebrews:11:6 @ And without faith it is impossible to please him. For whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

rsv@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, took heed and constructed an ark for the saving of his household; by this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by faith.

rsv@Hebrews:11:10 @ For he looked forward to the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

rsv@Hebrews:11:11 @ By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.

rsv@Hebrews:11:12 @ Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.

rsv@Hebrews:11:13 @ These all died in faith, not having received what was promised, but having seen it and greeted it from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

rsv@Hebrews:11:14 @ For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.

rsv@Hebrews:11:16 @ But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

rsv@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful; and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

rsv@Hebrews:11:24 @ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

rsv@Hebrews:11:25 @ choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.

rsv@Hebrews:11:26 @ He considered abuse suffered for the Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he looked to the reward.

rsv@Hebrews:11:31 @ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given friendly welcome to the spies.

rsv@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets--

rsv@Hebrews:11:34 @ quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.

rsv@Hebrews:11:38 @ of whom the world was not worthy-- wandering over deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

rsv@Hebrews:11:40 @ since God had foreseen something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

rsv@Hebrews:12:1 @ Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

rsv@Hebrews:12:3 @ Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.

rsv@Hebrews:12:5 @ And have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons?-- "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage when you are punished by him.

rsv@Hebrews:12:8 @ If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

rsv@Hebrews:12:9 @ Besides this, we have had earthly fathers to discipline us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?

rsv@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they disciplined us for a short time at their pleasure, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.

rsv@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.

rsv@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire, and darkness, and gloom, and a tempest,

rsv@Hebrews:12:19 @ and the sound of a trumpet, and a voice whose words made the hearers entreat that no further messages be spoken to them.

rsv@Hebrews:12:21 @ Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, "I tremble with fear."

rsv@Hebrews:12:23 @ and to the assembly of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to a judge who is God of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

rsv@Hebrews:12:25 @ See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less shall we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven.

rsv@Hebrews:12:26 @ His voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heaven."

rsv@Hebrews:13:2 @ Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

rsv@Hebrews:13:3 @ Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you also are in the body.

rsv@Hebrews:13:4 @ Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for God will judge the immoral and adulterous.

rsv@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings; for it is well that the heart be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited their adherents.

rsv@Hebrews:13:10 @ We have an altar from which those who serve the tent have no right to eat.

rsv@Hebrews:13:11 @ For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp.

rsv@Hebrews:13:13 @ Therefore let us go forth to him outside the camp and bear the abuse he endured.

rsv@Hebrews:13:16 @ Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

rsv@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as men who will have to give account. Let them do this joyfully, and not sadly, for that would be of no advantage to you.

rsv@Hebrews:13:18 @ Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things.

rsv@Hebrews:13:19 @ I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order that I may be restored to you the sooner.

rsv@Hebrews:13:22 @ I appeal to you, brethren, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

rsv@James:1:2 @ Count it all joy, my brethren, when you meet various trials,

rsv@James:1:17 @ Every good endowment and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

rsv@James:1:19 @ Know this, my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

rsv@James:1:22 @ But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

rsv@James:1:23 @ For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who observes his natural face in a mirror;

rsv@James:1:25 @ But he who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer that forgets but a doer that acts, he shall be blessed in his doing.

rsv@James:1:26 @ If any one thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man's religion is vain.

rsv@James:2:1 @ My brethren, show no partiality as you hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.

rsv@James:2:3 @ and you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, "Have a seat here, please," while you say to the poor man, "Stand there," or, "Sit at my feet,"

rsv@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brethren. Has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?

rsv@James:2:9 @ But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

rsv@James:2:12 @ So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty.

rsv@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit?

rsv@James:2:18 @ But some one will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith.

rsv@James:2:20 @ Do you want to be shown, you shallow man, that faith apart from works is barren?

rsv@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar?

rsv@James:2:25 @ And in the same way was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

rsv@James:2:26 @ For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead.

rsv@James:3:4 @ Look at the ships also; though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.

rsv@James:3:9 @ With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the likeness of God.

rsv@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.

rsv@James:3:15 @ This wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, devilish.

rsv@James:3:18 @ And the harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

rsv@James:4:1 @ What causes wars, and what causes fightings among you? Is it not your passions that are at war in your members?

rsv@James:4:2 @ You desire and do not have; so you kill. And you covet and cannot obtain; so you fight and wage war. You do not have, because you do not ask.

rsv@James:4:5 @ Or do you suppose it is in vain that the scripture says, "He yearns jealously over the spirit which he has made to dwell in us"?

rsv@James:4:8 @ Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you men of double mind.

rsv@James:4:11 @ Do not speak evil against one another, brethren. He that speaks evil against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.

rsv@James:4:12 @ There is one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you that you judge your neighbor?

rsv@James:4:13 @ Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and get gain";

rsv@James:4:14 @ whereas you do not know about tomorrow. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.

rsv@James:4:16 @ As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

rsv@James:5:1 @ Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you.

rsv@James:5:2 @ Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten.

rsv@James:5:4 @ Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.

rsv@James:5:5 @ You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

rsv@James:5:7 @ Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it until it receives the early and the late rain.

rsv@James:5:8 @ You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

rsv@James:5:11 @ Behold, we call those happy who were steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.

rsv@James:5:12 @ But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath, but let your yes be yes and your no be no, that you may not fall under condemnation.

rsv@James:5:17 @ Eli'jah was a man of like nature with ourselves and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth.

rsv@1Peter:3:9 @ Do not return evil for evil or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing.

rsv@1Peter:3:16 @ and keep your conscience clear, so that, when you are abused, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.

rsv@1Peter:3:20 @ who formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water.

rsv@1Peter:3:21 @ Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

rsv@1Peter:4:1 @ Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same thought, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

rsv@1Peter:4:3 @ Let the time that is past suffice for doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in licentiousness, passions, drunkenness, revels, carousing, and lawless idolatry.

rsv@2Peter:2:12 @ But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and killed, reviling in matters of which they are ignorant, will be destroyed in the same destruction with them,

rsv@2Peter:2:13 @ suffering wrong for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their dissipation, carousing with you.

rsv@2Peter:2:14 @ They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!

rsv@2Peter:2:17 @ These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm; for them the nether gloom of darkness has been reserved.

rsv@2Peter:2:18 @ For, uttering loud boasts of folly, they entice with licentious passions of the flesh men who have barely escaped from those who live in error.

rsv@2Peter:2:19 @ They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption; for whatever overcomes a man, to that he is enslaved.

rsv@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overpowered, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

rsv@2Peter:3:1 @ This is now the second letter that I have written to you, beloved, and in both of them I have aroused your sincere mind by way of reminder;

rsv@2Peter:3:5 @ They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and an earth formed out of water and by means of water,

rsv@2Peter:3:7 @ But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist have been stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

rsv@2Peter:3:8 @ But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

rsv@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is forbearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

rsv@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up.

rsv@2Peter:3:11 @ Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness,

rsv@2Peter:3:13 @ But according to his promise we wait for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

rsv@2Peter:3:15 @ And count the forbearance of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,

rsv@2Peter:3:16 @ speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures.

rsv@2Peter:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, beware lest you be carried away with the error of lawless men and lose your own stability.

rsv@1John:1:1 @ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life--

rsv@1John:1:3 @ that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

rsv@1John:1:4 @ And we are writing this that our joy may be complete.

rsv@1John:1:5 @ This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him is no darkness at all.

rsv@1John:1:6 @ If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth;

rsv@1John:1:10 @ If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

rsv@1John:2:4 @ He who says "I know him" but disobeys his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him;

rsv@1John:2:5 @ but whoever keeps his word, in him truly love for God is perfected. By this we may be sure that we are in him:

rsv@1John:2:7 @ Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard.

rsv@1John:2:8 @ Yet I am writing you a new commandment, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.

rsv@1John:2:9 @ He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness still.

rsv@1John:2:11 @ But he who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

rsv@1John:2:12 @ I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his sake.

rsv@1John:2:14 @ I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

rsv@1John:2:18 @ Children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come; therefore we know that it is the last hour.

rsv@1John:2:19 @ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out, that it might be plain that they all are not of us.

rsv@1John:2:22 @ Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

rsv@1John:2:24 @ Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you will abide in the Son and in the Father.

rsv@1John:2:28 @ And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming.

rsv@1John:3:1 @ See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

rsv@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, we are God's children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

rsv@1John:3:5 @ You know that he appeared to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.

rsv@1John:3:8 @ He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.

rsv@1John:3:10 @ By this it may be seen who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not do right is not of God, nor he who does not love his brother.

rsv@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

rsv@1John:3:17 @ But if any one has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?

rsv@1John:3:19 @ By this we shall know that we are of the truth, and reassure our hearts before him

rsv@1John:3:20 @ whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.

rsv@1John:3:21 @ Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God;

rsv@1John:4:1 @ Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

rsv@1John:4:3 @ and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. This is the spirit of antichrist, of which you heard that it was coming, and now it is in the world already.

rsv@1John:4:4 @ Little children, you are of God, and have overcome them; for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

rsv@1John:4:5 @ They are of the world, therefore what they say is of the world, and the world listens to them.

rsv@1John:4:6 @ We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

rsv@1John:4:17 @ In this is love perfected with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so are we in this world.

rsv@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love.

rsv@1John:4:20 @ If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

rsv@1John:5:1 @ Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God, and every one who loves the parent loves the child.

rsv@1John:5:3 @ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

rsv@1John:5:8 @ There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree.

rsv@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne to his Son.

rsv@1John:5:14 @ And this is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

rsv@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of him.

rsv@1John:5:19 @ We know that we are of God, and the whole world is in the power of the evil one.

rsv@1John:5:20 @ And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, to know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

rsv@2John:1:6 @ And this is love, that we follow his commandments; this is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you follow love.

rsv@2John:1:8 @ Look to yourselves, that you may not lose what you have worked for, but may win a full reward.

rsv@2John:1:11 @ for he who greets him shares his wicked work.

rsv@3John:1:3 @ For I greatly rejoiced when some of the brethren arrived and testified to the truth of your life, as indeed you do follow the truth.

rsv@3John:1:4 @ No greater joy can I have than this, to hear that my children follow the truth.

rsv@Jude:1:1 @ Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ:

rsv@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, being very eager to write to you of our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

rsv@Jude:1:5 @ Now I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that he who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

rsv@Jude:1:9 @ But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, disputed about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a reviling judgment upon him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you."

rsv@Jude:1:10 @ But these men revile whatever they do not understand, and by those things that they know by instinct as irrational animals do, they are destroyed.

rsv@Jude:1:12 @ These are blemishes on your love feasts, as they boldly carouse together, looking after themselves; waterless clouds, carried along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted;

rsv@Jude:1:13 @ wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars for whom the nether gloom of darkness has been reserved for ever.

rsv@Jude:1:15 @ to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness which they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."

rsv@Jude:1:16 @ These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own passions, loud-mouthed boasters, flattering people to gain advantage.

rsv@Jude:1:23 @ save some, by snatching them out of the fire; on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

rsv@Revelation:1:3 @ Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written therein; for the time is near.

rsv@Revelation:1:4 @ John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,

rsv@Revelation:1:5 @ and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood

rsv@Revelation:1:7 @ Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, every one who pierced him; and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.

rsv@Revelation:1:9 @ I John, your brother, who share with you in Jesus the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

rsv@Revelation:1:10 @ I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet

rsv@Revelation:1:11 @ saying, "Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Per'gamum and to Thyati'ra and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to La-odice'a."

rsv@Revelation:1:16 @ in his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth issued a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

rsv@Revelation:1:17 @ When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand upon me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first and the last,

rsv@Revelation:1:20 @ As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

rsv@Revelation:2:1 @ "To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: `The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands.

rsv@Revelation:2:3 @ I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary.

rsv@Revelation:2:7 @ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.'

rsv@Revelation:2:9 @ "`I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

rsv@Revelation:2:10 @ Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.

rsv@Revelation:2:17 @ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone which no one knows except him who receives it.'

rsv@Revelation:4:1 @ After this I looked, and lo, in heaven an open door! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "Come up hither, and I will show you what must take place after this."

rsv@Revelation:4:3 @ And he who sat there appeared like jasper and carnelian, and round the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald.

rsv@Revelation:4:4 @ Round the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clad in white garments, with golden crowns upon their heads.

rsv@Revelation:4:5 @ From the throne issue flashes of lightning, and voices and peals of thunder, and before the throne burn seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God;

rsv@Revelation:4:6 @ and before the throne there is as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And round the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind:

rsv@Revelation:4:8 @ And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all round and within, and day and night they never cease to sing, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!"

rsv@Revelation:4:11 @ "Worthy art thou, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for thou didst create all things, and by thy will they existed and were created."

rsv@Revelation:5:3 @ And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it,

rsv@Revelation:5:6 @ And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders, I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth;

rsv@Revelation:5:8 @ And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints;

rsv@Revelation:5:9 @ and they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the scroll and to open its seals, for thou wast slain and by thy blood didst ransom men for God from every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

rsv@Revelation:5:10 @ and hast made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on earth."

rsv@Revelation:5:11 @ Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,

rsv@Revelation:5:13 @ And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all therein, saying, "To him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might for ever and ever!"

rsv@Revelation:6:1 @ Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say, as with a voice of thunder, "Come!"

rsv@Revelation:6:3 @ When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!"

rsv@Revelation:6:4 @ And out came another horse, bright red; its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that men should slay one another; and he was given a great sword.

rsv@Revelation:6:5 @ When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" And I saw, and behold, a black horse, and its rider had a balance in his hand;

rsv@Revelation:6:6 @ and I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; but do not harm oil and wine!"

rsv@Revelation:6:7 @ When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"

rsv@Revelation:6:8 @ And I saw, and behold, a pale horse, and its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him; and they were given power over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.

rsv@Revelation:6:9 @ When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne;

rsv@Revelation:6:10 @ they cried out with a loud voice, "O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before thou wilt judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the earth?"

rsv@Revelation:6:12 @ When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood,

rsv@Revelation:6:13 @ and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale;

rsv@Revelation:6:15 @ Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the generals and the rich and the strong, and every one, slave and free, hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains,

rsv@Revelation:7:1 @ After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.

rsv@Revelation:7:2 @ Then I saw another angel ascend from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea,

rsv@Revelation:7:3 @ saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads."

rsv@Revelation:7:4 @ And I heard the number of the sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand sealed, out of every tribe of the sons of Israel,

rsv@Revelation:7:7 @ twelve thousand of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand of the tribe of Is'sachar,

rsv@Revelation:7:13 @ Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, clothed in white robes, and whence have they come?"

rsv@Revelation:7:14 @ I said to him, "Sir, you know." And he said to me, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

rsv@Revelation:7:15 @ Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night within his temple; and he who sits upon the throne will shelter them with his presence.

rsv@Revelation:7:17 @ For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

rsv@Revelation:8:3 @ And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne;

rsv@Revelation:8:5 @ Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth; and there were peals of thunder, voices, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

rsv@Revelation:8:7 @ The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, which fell on the earth; and a third of the earth was burnt up, and a third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

rsv@Revelation:8:10 @ The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the fountains of water.

rsv@Revelation:8:11 @ The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died of the water, because it was made bitter.

rsv@Revelation:8:12 @ The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light was darkened; a third of the day was kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.

rsv@Revelation:8:13 @ Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice, as it flew in midheaven, "Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets which the three angels are about to blow!"

rsv@Revelation:9:1 @ And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key of the shaft of the bottomless pit;

rsv@Revelation:9:2 @ he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft.

rsv@Revelation:9:3 @ Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth;

rsv@Revelation:9:4 @ they were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only those of mankind who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads;

rsv@Revelation:9:7 @ In appearance the locusts were like horses arrayed for battle; on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces,

rsv@Revelation:9:9 @ they had scales like iron breastplates, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle.

rsv@Revelation:9:12 @ The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.

rsv@Revelation:9:13 @ Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God,

rsv@Revelation:9:14 @ saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphra'tes."

rsv@Revelation:9:15 @ So the four angels were released, who had been held ready for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, to kill a third of mankind.

rsv@Revelation:9:16 @ The number of the troops of cavalry was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number.

rsv@Revelation:9:19 @ For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; their tails are like serpents, with heads, and by means of them they wound.

rsv@Revelation:9:20 @ The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot either see or hear or walk;

rsv@Revelation:10:1 @ Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire.

rsv@Revelation:10:3 @ and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring; when he called out, the seven thunders sounded.

rsv@Revelation:10:4 @ And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down."

rsv@Revelation:10:6 @ and swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there should be no more delay,

rsv@Revelation:10:8 @ Then the voice which I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, "Go, take the scroll which is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."

rsv@Revelation:11:1 @ Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told: "Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there,

rsv@Revelation:11:4 @ These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth.

rsv@Revelation:11:5 @ And if any one would harm them, fire pours out from their mouth and consumes their foes; if any one would harm them, thus he is doomed to be killed.

rsv@Revelation:11:6 @ They have power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

rsv@Revelation:11:7 @ And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit will make war upon them and conquer them and kill them,

rsv@Revelation:11:10 @ and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth.

rsv@Revelation:11:11 @ But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.

rsv@Revelation:11:12 @ Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up hither!" And in the sight of their foes they went up to heaven in a cloud.

rsv@Revelation:11:13 @ And at that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

rsv@Revelation:11:17 @ saying, "We give thanks to thee, Lord God Almighty, who art and who wast, that thou hast taken thy great power and begun to reign.

rsv@Revelation:11:18 @ The nations raged, but thy wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, for rewarding thy servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear thy name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth."

rsv@Revelation:11:19 @ Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple; and there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.

rsv@Revelation:12:1 @ And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;

rsv@Revelation:12:3 @ And another portent appeared in heaven; behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems upon his heads.

rsv@Revelation:12:4 @ His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear a child, that he might devour her child when she brought it forth;

rsv@Revelation:12:6 @ and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which to be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

rsv@Revelation:12:7 @ Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,

rsv@Revelation:12:9 @ And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world--he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

rsv@Revelation:12:10 @ And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.

rsv@Revelation:12:12 @ Rejoice then, O heaven and you that dwell therein! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!"

rsv@Revelation:12:13 @ And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had borne the male child.

rsv@Revelation:12:16 @ But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river which the dragon had poured from his mouth.

rsv@Revelation:12:17 @ Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.

rsv@Revelation:13:2 @ And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority.

rsv@Revelation:13:3 @ One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth followed the beast with wonder.

rsv@Revelation:13:7 @ Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation,

rsv@Revelation:13:8 @ and all who dwell on earth will worship it, every one whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain.

rsv@Revelation:13:9 @ If any one has an ear, let him hear:

rsv@Revelation:13:11 @ Then I saw another beast which rose out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.

rsv@Revelation:13:12 @ It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.

rsv@Revelation:13:13 @ It works great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of men;

rsv@Revelation:13:14 @ and by the signs which it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast, it deceives those who dwell on earth, bidding them make an image for the beast which was wounded by the sword and yet lived;

rsv@Revelation:13:16 @ Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,

rsv@Revelation:13:17 @ so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.

rsv@Revelation:14:2 @ And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder; the voice I heard was like the sound of harpers playing on their harps,

rsv@Revelation:14:3 @ and they sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth.

rsv@Revelation:14:4 @ It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are chaste; it is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes; these have been redeemed from mankind as first fruits for God and the Lamb,

rsv@Revelation:14:5 @ and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are spotless.

rsv@Revelation:14:6 @ Then I saw another angel flying in midheaven, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people;

rsv@Revelation:14:7 @ and he said with a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come; and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the fountains of water."

rsv@Revelation:14:9 @ And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If any one worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,

rsv@Revelation:14:11 @ And the smoke of their torment goes up for ever and ever; and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name."

rsv@Revelation:14:13 @ And I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth." "Blessed indeed," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!"

rsv@Revelation:14:14 @ Then I looked, and lo, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand.

rsv@Revelation:14:15 @ And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat upon the cloud, "Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe."

rsv@Revelation:14:16 @ So he who sat upon the cloud swung his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

rsv@Revelation:14:17 @ And another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.

rsv@Revelation:14:18 @ Then another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, "Put in your sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe."

rsv@Revelation:14:19 @ So the angel swung his sickle on the earth and gathered the vintage of the earth, and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God;

rsv@Revelation:15:1 @ Then I saw another portent in heaven, great and wonderful, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is ended.

rsv@Revelation:15:2 @ And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands.

rsv@Revelation:15:3 @ And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and wonderful are thy deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are thy ways, O King of the ages!

rsv@Revelation:15:4 @ Who shall not fear and glorify thy name, O Lord? For thou alone art holy. All nations shall come and worship thee, for thy judgments have been revealed."

rsv@Revelation:16:1 @ Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, "Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God."

rsv@Revelation:16:2 @ So the first angel went and poured his bowl on the earth, and foul and evil sores came upon the men who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

rsv@Revelation:16:5 @ And I heard the angel of water say, "Just art thou in these thy judgments, thou who art and wast, O Holy One.

rsv@Revelation:16:7 @ And I heard the altar cry, "Yea, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are thy judgments!"

rsv@Revelation:16:10 @ The fifth angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was in darkness; men gnawed their tongues in anguish

rsv@Revelation:16:12 @ The sixth angel poured his bowl on the great river Euphra'tes, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east.

rsv@Revelation:16:14 @ for they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.

rsv@Revelation:16:15 @ ("Lo, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is he who is awake, keeping his garments that he may not go naked and be seen exposed!")

rsv@Revelation:16:16 @ And they assembled them at the place which is called in Hebrew Armaged'don.

rsv@Revelation:16:18 @ And there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as had never been since men were on the earth, so great was that earthquake.

rsv@Revelation:16:19 @ The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered great Babylon, to make her drain the cup of the fury of his wrath.

rsv@Revelation:16:21 @ and great hailstones, heavy as a hundred-weight, dropped on men from heaven, till men cursed God for the plague of the hail, so fearful was that plague.

rsv@Revelation:17:1 @ Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who is seated upon many waters,

rsv@Revelation:17:2 @ with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and with the wine of whose fornication the dwellers on earth have become drunk."

rsv@Revelation:17:3 @ And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns.

rsv@Revelation:17:4 @ The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and bedecked with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication;

rsv@Revelation:17:5 @ and on her forehead was written a name of mystery: "Babylon the great, mother of harlots and of earth's abominations."

rsv@Revelation:17:6 @ And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her I marveled greatly.

rsv@Revelation:17:7 @ But the angel said to me, "Why marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.

rsv@Revelation:17:8 @ The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is to ascend from the bottomless pit and go to perdition; and the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will marvel to behold the beast, because it was and is not and is to come.

rsv@Revelation:17:9 @ This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated;

rsv@Revelation:17:10 @ they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he comes he must remain only a little while.

rsv@Revelation:17:12 @ And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast.

rsv@Revelation:17:13 @ These are of one mind and give over their power and authority to the beast;

rsv@Revelation:17:14 @ they will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful."

rsv@Revelation:17:15 @ And he said to me, "The waters that you saw, where the harlot is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.

rsv@Revelation:17:16 @ And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the harlot; they will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire,

rsv@Revelation:17:17 @ for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and giving over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

rsv@Revelation:17:18 @ And the woman that you saw is the great city which has dominion over the kings of the earth."

rsv@Revelation:18:1 @ After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was made bright with his splendor.

rsv@Revelation:18:3 @ for all nations have drunk the wine of her impure passion, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich with the wealth of her wantonness."

rsv@Revelation:18:4 @ Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues;

rsv@Revelation:18:5 @ for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

rsv@Revelation:18:7 @ As she glorified herself and played the wanton, so give her a like measure of torment and mourning. Since in her heart she says, `A queen I sit, I am no widow, mourning I shall never see,'

rsv@Revelation:18:9 @ And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and were wanton with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning;

rsv@Revelation:18:10 @ they will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say, "Alas! alas! thou great city, thou mighty city, Babylon! In one hour has thy judgment come."

rsv@Revelation:18:11 @ And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo any more,

rsv@Revelation:18:12 @ cargo of gold, silver, jewels and pearls, fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet, all kinds of scented wood, all articles of ivory, all articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble,

rsv@Revelation:18:13 @ cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls.

rsv@Revelation:18:14 @ "The fruit for which thy soul longed has gone from thee, and all thy dainties and thy splendor are lost to thee, never to be found again!"

rsv@Revelation:18:15 @ The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,

rsv@Revelation:18:16 @ "Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, bedecked with gold, with jewels, and with pearls!

rsv@Revelation:18:17 @ In one hour all this wealth has been laid waste." And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off

rsv@Revelation:18:22 @ and the sound of harpers and minstrels, of flute players and trumpeters, shall be heard in thee no more; and a craftsman of any craft shall be found in thee no more; and the sound of the millstone shall be heard in thee no more;

rsv@Revelation:18:23 @ and the light of a lamp shall shine in thee no more; and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall be heard in thee no more; for thy merchants were the great men of the earth, and all nations were deceived by thy sorcery.

rsv@Revelation:18:24 @ And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on earth."

rsv@Revelation:19:1 @ After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

rsv@Revelation:19:2 @ for his judgments are true and just; he has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants."

rsv@Revelation:19:5 @ And from the throne came a voice crying, "Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great."

rsv@Revelation:19:6 @ Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunderpeals, crying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.

rsv@Revelation:19:7 @ Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready;

rsv@Revelation:19:9 @ And the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are true words of God."

rsv@Revelation:19:11 @ Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.

rsv@Revelation:19:12 @ His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems; and he has a name inscribed which no one knows but himself.

rsv@Revelation:19:14 @ And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, followed him on white horses.

rsv@Revelation:19:15 @ From his mouth issues a sharp sword with which to smite the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron; he will tread the wine press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.

rsv@Revelation:19:19 @ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who sits upon the horse and against his army.

rsv@Revelation:19:20 @ And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had worked the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur.

rsv@Revelation:20:2 @ And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,

rsv@Revelation:20:3 @ and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while.

rsv@Revelation:20:4 @ Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

rsv@Revelation:20:5 @ The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.

rsv@Revelation:20:6 @ Blessed and holy is he who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with him a thousand years.

rsv@Revelation:20:7 @ And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be loosed from his prison

rsv@Revelation:20:8 @ and will come out to deceive the nations which are at the four corners of the earth, that is, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea.

rsv@Revelation:20:9 @ And they marched up over the broad earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city; but fire came down from heaven and consumed them,

rsv@Revelation:20:11 @ Then I saw a great white throne and him who sat upon it; from his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.

rsv@Revelation:21:1 @ Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

rsv@Revelation:21:2 @ And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband;

rsv@Revelation:21:3 @ and I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling of God is with men. He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them;

rsv@Revelation:21:4 @ he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away."

rsv@Revelation:21:5 @ And he who sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true."

rsv@Revelation:21:8 @ But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death."

rsv@Revelation:21:10 @ And in the Spirit he carried me away to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,

rsv@Revelation:21:11 @ having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.

rsv@Revelation:21:16 @ The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its breadth; and he measured the city with his rod, twelve thousand stadia; its length and breadth and height are equal.

rsv@Revelation:21:18 @ The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, clear as glass.

rsv@Revelation:21:20 @ the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.

rsv@Revelation:21:21 @ And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass.

rsv@Revelation:21:24 @ By its light shall the nations walk; and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory into it,

rsv@Revelation:21:27 @ But nothing unclean shall enter it, nor any one who practices abomination or falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

rsv@Revelation:22:6 @ And he said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.

rsv@Revelation:22:8 @ I John am he who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me;

rsv@Revelation:22:10 @ And he said to me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.

rsv@Revelation:22:14 @ Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.

rsv@Revelation:22:15 @ Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and fornicators and murderers and idolaters, and every one who loves and practices falsehood.

rsv@Revelation:22:16 @ "I Jesus have sent my angel to you with this testimony for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star."

rsv@Revelation:22:17 @ The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." And let him who hears say, "Come." And let him who is thirsty come, let him who desires take the water of life without price.

rsv@Revelation:22:18 @ I warn every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if any one adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book,

rsv@Revelation:22:19 @ and if any one takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
