@ DESCRIPTION: The Bible in Worldwide English (BWE)\par This New Testament was originally prepared by Annie Cressman, who died in 1993. She was a Canadian Bible teacher in Liberia in West Africa. Whilst teaching students in a Bible School where the language used was English, she found that she was spending more time explaining the meaning of the English than she was teaching the Bible itself. So she decided to write this simple version in easy English so that her students could easily understand.\par\par In 1959 the Full Gospel Publishing House in Toronto, Canada, printed a trial edition of the Gospel of Mark. A further edition was published in 1962 by the American Bible Society. The whole New Testament was first published by SOON Publications in India in 1969 in hardback form. This was assisted by Operation Mobilisation (OM) and was reprinted in 1971.\par\par The vision to reprint a new edition of the whole New Testament has now been carried out by SOON in conjunction with EPH and OM. Where a change to more modern words has been made, this has been kept in line with the the Authorised Version.
bwe@Matthew:3:9 @ Do not think you can say to your-selves, "Abraham is our father." I tell you, God can make children for Abraham from these stones.
bwe@Matthew:4:4 @ But Jesus answered him, The holy writings say, "Man cannot live on bread only. He needs to live by every word that God says."
bwe@Matthew:5:13 @ You are like salt in the world. If salt has lost its taste, how can it be made salty again? Salt that has no taste is good for nothing. The only thing to do is to throw it out on the road.
bwe@Matthew:5:14 @ You are like light in the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden.
bwe@Matthew:5:15 @ So also with a lamp. People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket. But they put it on the place for a lamp. Then all the people in the house can see its light.
bwe@Matthew:5:36 @ Do not make a promise by your head, because you cannot make one hair of your head white or black.
bwe@Matthew:6:24 @ No man can work for two masters. He will hate one and love the other. Or he will obey one and despise the other. You cannot work for both God and money.
bwe@Matthew:6:27 @ Can any one of you live any longer by troubling yourself about these things?
bwe@Matthew:7:18 @ A good tree cannot have bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot have good fruit.
bwe@Matthew:8:2 @ A man who had leprosy <FI>a bad skin disease<Fi> came and kneeled in front of Jesus and worshipped him. He said to Jesus, Sir, I know you can heal me if you want to.
bwe@Matthew:8:6 @ He said, Sir, one of my servants is in bed at my house. He cannot move and has much pain.
bwe@Matthew:9:15 @ Jesus answered, The people at a wedding cannot be sad while the man who is married is with them. But the time will come when he will be taken away from them. Then they will not eat.
bwe@Matthew:9:28 @ When Jesus came into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus asked them, Do you believe that I can do this? They said, Yes, sir.
bwe@Matthew:10:28 @ Do not fear people who can kill the body. They cannot kill the spirit. But fear the one who can destroy both spirit and body in hell.
bwe@Matthew:11:5 @ Blind people see. Lame people walk. People with leprosy are healed. People who could not hear, can hear. Dead people are made alive. Poor people hear the good news.
bwe@Matthew:12:25 @ Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said to them, If one part of any country fights against the other part of the country, that country is broken down. If one part of any city or family fights against the other part of it, it cannot stand.
bwe@Matthew:12:29 @ If anyone wants to go into a strong mans house and steal his things, he must first tie the strong man. Then he can steal his things.
bwe@Matthew:12:34 @ You family of snakes! How can you say good things? You are wrong! The mouth will say what is in the heart.
bwe@Matthew:13:11 @ Jesus answered them, You can learn the secret things about the kingdom of heaven. But they cannot learn them.
bwe@Matthew:13:52 @ Then Jesus said to them, So anyone who knows the law and has learned about the kingdom of heaven, is like the headman of a house. He can bring both new things and old things out of what he has stored up.
bwe@Matthew:14:15 @ In the evening the disciples came to him. They said, This is a lonely place. And the time is late. Send these people away so they can go to the farms and villages to buy food for themselves.
bwe@Matthew:15:3 @ Jesus asked them, Why do you break Gods law so that you can keep your own law?
bwe@Matthew:15:6 @ You make Gods law to mean nothing so you can keep your own laws!
bwe@Matthew:15:21 @ Jesus left that place and went to the country of Tyre and Sidon. 22A woman of the people of Canaan was in that country. She called out, Sir, you are the Son of David. Help me! My daughter is being troubled very much by a bad spirit.
bwe@Matthew:15:32 @ The disciples said to him, Where can we get enough food in this lonely place to feed so many people?
bwe@Matthew:16:26 @ What good will it do a man if he gets the whole world for himself, but loses his life? What can a person give to get back his life?
bwe@Matthew:18:10 @ Do not think badly of these little children. I tell you this. They have angels in heaven. And all the time their angels can see the face of my father who is in heaven.
bwe@Matthew:18:16 @ But if he does not listen to you, take one or two others with you to talk to him. Then two or three people will hear every word and can prove what was said.
bwe@Matthew:19:11 @ Jesus said, Not everyone can agree to that. But God has chosen some not to be married.
bwe@Matthew:19:12 @ Some men cannot marry because they were born that way. Some were made that way by men. Others said, "I will not marry, for the sake of the kingdom of heaven." Anyone who can do this, should do it.
bwe@Matthew:19:25 @ When the disciples heard this, they were very much surprised. They said, Then who can be saved?
bwe@Matthew:19:26 @ Jesus looked at them and said, Men cannot do it, but God can do anything.
bwe@Matthew:20:15 @ It is my own money. Can I not do with it as I like? Do you think it is a wrong thing for me to be kind?"
bwe@Matthew:20:22 @ But Jesus said, You do not know what you are asking for. Can you drink from the cup that I will drink? Yes, they said. We can.
bwe@Matthew:20:23 @ Then Jesus said to them, You will drink what I drink. But I cannot choose who will sit at my right or at my left. My Father has planned who will sit there.
bwe@Matthew:21:21 @ Jesus said to them, I tell you the truth. Believe God. Do not doubt him. Then you can do what I did to this fig tree. But that is not all. You can even say to this hill, "Go and jump into the sea" and it will be done.
bwe@Matthew:22:43 @ Jesus asked, Then how can David call him "Lord"? He said, by the Spirit,
bwe@Matthew:22:45 @ David calls Christ his Lord. How can Christ be Davids son?
bwe@Matthew:23:13 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You are not true to yourselves! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven so people cannot go in. You yourselves do not go in, and you stop those who were going in.
bwe@Matthew:23:33 @ You snakes-a whole family of snakes! You cannot get away! You will be judged and sent to hell.
bwe@Matthew:24:24 @ People will come and say they are the Christ. People will come and say they are prophets. But they are not true. They will show big signs and do wonderful things to fool people. They will fool Gods chosen people if they can.
bwe@Matthew:24:27 @ When lightning shines in the east, it can be seen in the west. It will be like that when the Son of Man comes.
bwe@Matthew:24:45 @ Who is like a wise servant who can be trusted? His master will put him in charge of his other servants. He gives them their food at the right time.
bwe@Matthew:25:21 @ His master said, "You have done well. You are a good servant. I can trust you. You have taken good care of a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Come, have a good time with your master."
bwe@Matthew:25:23 @ His master said, "You have done well. You are a good servant. I can trust you. You have taken good care of a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Come, have a good time with your master."
bwe@Matthew:26:39 @ Jesus went on a little further. He bowed down with his face to the ground. He talked to God and said, My Father, if it can be, let this cup of trouble pass by me. But do not do what I want. May what you want be done.
bwe@Matthew:26:41 @ Watch and talk with God, so that you will not do wrong. A persons heart can want to do it, but his body is weak.
bwe@Matthew:26:53 @ Do you think that I cannot talk to my Father, and he would send me right now more than twelve armies of angels?
bwe@Matthew:26:61 @ They said, This man said, "I can break down Gods temple and build it again in three days."
bwe@Matthew:27:42 @ They said, He saved other people but he cannot save himself! If he is the King of the people of Israel, he should come down from the cross now. Then we will believe in him.
bwe@Matthew:27:43 @ He trusted in God. If God wants him, he can save him now. He said, "I am Gods Son."
bwe@Matthew:27:64 @ So give orders that the grave must be guarded for three days. Then his disciples cannot come in the night to carry away his body, and tell people he rose from death. This last trick would be worse than the first.
bwe@Matthew:27:65 @ Pilate said to them, Take soldiers. Go and guard the grave as well as you can.
bwe@Mark:1:40 @ A man who was sick with leprosy <FI>a bad skin disease<Fi> came to him. He kneeled down and begged Jesus saying, I know you can heal me if you want to.
bwe@Mark:2:7 @ They were thinking, Why does this man say such wrong things against God? He is not giving God respect! Who can forgive the wrong things people do? No one but God can do that.
bwe@Mark:2:19 @ Jesus answered them, The people at a wedding cannot be sad while the man who is married is with them.
bwe@Mark:3:19 @ He also chose Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon of Canan, and Judas Iscariot, the one who gave Jesus over to people who hated him. Then Jesus and his disciples went home.
bwe@Mark:3:23 @ Jesus called the people and talked to them in stories. He asked, How can Satan drive out Satan?
bwe@Mark:3:24 @ If one part of a country fights against another part of the country, that country cannot be strong.
bwe@Mark:3:25 @ If one part of a family fights against the other part of the family, it cannot stand.
bwe@Mark:3:26 @ If Satan fights against himself and the bad spirits fight against each other, he cannot stand. It will be the end of him.
bwe@Mark:3:27 @ If anyone wants to go into a strong mans house and steal his things, he must first tie the strong man. Then he can steal his things.
bwe@Mark:4:11 @ He said to them, You can learn the secret things about the kingdom of God. But we must use stories to tell the other people.
bwe@Mark:5:12 @ The bad spirits begged Jesus saying, Send us to the pigs so that we can go into them.
bwe@Mark:7:9 @ You break Gods law so that you can keep your own law.
bwe@Mark:7:13 @ You make Gods law to mean nothing so that you can keep your own laws. You do many other things like that also.
bwe@Mark:7:18 @ He said, Do you still not understand? Do you not know this? What goes into a person from the outside cannot make a person dirty.
bwe@Mark:7:36 @ The people were very much surprised. They said, He has done everything well. The people who could not hear can hear. The people who could not talk can talk.
bwe@Mark:8:4 @ His disciples answered, Where can anyone get enough food in this lonely place to feed so many people?
bwe@Mark:8:18 @ Can you not see with your eyes or hear with your ears? Do you not remember?
bwe@Mark:8:37 @ What can a person give to get back his soul? People have gone away from God and are full of wrong ways. If anyone in this time is ashamed of me and the things I say, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of that person when he comes. The Son of Man will come with his holy angels, and be great like his Father.
bwe@Mark:9:17 @ One of the people said, Teacher, I brought my son to you. A bad spirit is in him so he cannot talk.
bwe@Mark:9:22 @ Often it has thrown him in the fire and in the water. It has tried to kill him. If you can do anything for him, show us that you share our suffering by helping us.
bwe@Mark:9:23 @ Jesus said to him, You say, "If you can." Anything can be done for the person who believes.
bwe@Mark:9:39 @ Jesus said, Do not stop him. Anyone who can do a great work in my name will not be quick to say wrong things about me.
bwe@Mark:9:50 @ Salt is good. But if the salt has lost its taste, how can it be made salty again? You must have salt in yourselves and live in peace with one another.
bwe@Mark:10:26 @ They were very much surprised. They said, Then who can be saved?
bwe@Mark:10:27 @ Jesus looked at them and said, Men cannot do it but God can, because God can do anything.
bwe@Mark:10:38 @ But Jesus said, You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink from the cup that I will drink from? Can you go through the big trouble that I will go through?
bwe@Mark:10:39 @ Yes, they said. We can. Then Jesus said to them, You will drink what I drink and you will have trouble the way I will have.
bwe@Mark:10:40 @ But I cannot choose who will sit at my right hand or at my left. It has been planned who will sit there.
bwe@Mark:12:35 @ Jesus was teaching people in the temple. He said, How can the scribes say that Christ is Davids son?
bwe@Mark:12:37 @ So David calls Christ his Lord. How can Christ be Davids son? Most of the people were glad to hear Jesus teaching.
bwe@Mark:13:22 @ People will come and say they are the Christ. People will come and say they are prophets of God. But they are not true to themselves. They will show big signs and do wonderful things that will fool people. They will fool Gods chosen people if they can.
bwe@Mark:14:7 @ You will always have poor people with you. Any time you want to, you can do good to them. But I will not always be with you.
bwe@Mark:14:14 @ When he goes into a house, talk to the master of the house. Say to him, "The Teacher says, Where is my room where I can eat the Passover Feast with my disciples?"
bwe@Mark:14:36 @ He said, Oh, my Father, you can do all things. Take this cup away from me. But do not do what I want, but what you want.
bwe@Mark:14:38 @ All of you must watch and talk with God so that you will not do wrong. A persons heart can want to do it, but his body is weak.
bwe@Mark:15:31 @ The chief priests and the scribes also made fun of him. He saved other people, but he cannot save himself!
bwe@Luke:1:18 @ Then Zechariah said to the angel, How can I know that this will happen? I am an old man and my wife is also old.
bwe@Luke:1:34 @ Then Mary said to the angel, How can this happen? I have no husband.
bwe@Luke:1:37 @ But God can do anything.
bwe@Luke:3:6 @ And all people will see that God can save."
bwe@Luke:3:8 @ Do good things that will show you have stopped your wrong ways! Do not begin to say to yourselves, "We are Abrahams children. "I tell you, God can make children for Abraham from these stones.
bwe@Luke:4:4 @ Jesus answered him, The holy writings say, "Man cannot live on bread only."
bwe@Luke:4:6 @ He said to Jesus, I will give you the right to rule over all these countries. They will make you great. All this has been given to me. I can give it to anyone I want.
bwe@Luke:4:18 @ The Spirit of the Lord is on me because he chose me to tell the good news to poor people. He has sent me to tell the prisoners they can go free, and to tell the blind people they can see. He has sent me to set free those who have been wrongly held down,
bwe@Luke:4:36 @ All the people were very much surprised. They said to each other, What kind of talk is this? He can make bad spirits obey him. He tells them to come out and they come out.
bwe@Luke:5:12 @ Jesus was in one of the cities and a man was there who had leprosy, a bad skin disease. When he saw Jesus, he bowed his face to the ground. He begged Jesus saying, Sir, I know you can heal me if you want to.
bwe@Luke:5:21 @ The scribes and Pharisees began to talk about this. They said, Who is this man that is not giving respect to God? No one but God can forgive anyone for the wrong things they have done.
bwe@Luke:5:34 @ Then Jesus said to them, The people at a wedding cannot be sad while the man who is married is with them.
bwe@Luke:6:39 @ Jesus also told the people a story. He said, A blind man cannot lead a blind man. They will both fall into a hole.
bwe@Luke:6:42 @ How can you say to your brother, "Brother, let me take the dust out of your eye"? But you do not see the stick in your own eye. You are not true to yourselves! First take the stick out of your own eye. Then you will be able to see to take the dust out of your brothers eye.
bwe@Luke:7:22 @ He answered Johns disciples, Go tell John what you have seen and heard. Blind people see. The lame people walk. People with leprosy are healed. People who could not hear can hear. Dead people are alive again. Poor people hear the good news.
bwe@Luke:8:10 @ He said to them, You can learn the secret things about the kingdom of God. But other people must have stories. They will look, but they will not see. They will hear, but they will not understand.
bwe@Luke:8:16 @ No person lights a lamp and covers it with a basket or puts it under a bed. But he puts it on the place for a lamp. Then people who come in can see the light.
bwe@Luke:9:12 @ When it was late in the day, the twelve disciples came to him. They said, Send the people away so they can go to the towns and the farms to sleep and get something to eat. This is a lonely place.
bwe@Luke:11:7 @ Maybe the friend in the house answers you and says, "Do not trouble me. The door is locked. And my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything."
bwe@Luke:11:17 @ But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, If one part of any country fights against the other part of the country, that country is spoiled. And if one part of any family fights against the other part of the family, it cannot stand.
bwe@Luke:11:33 @ No person lights a lamp and hides it in a hole or puts it under a basket. But he puts it on a place for a lamp. Then people who come in can see the light.
bwe@Luke:11:52 @ You teachers of Gods law will have trouble! You have taken away the key of the door where people can go in and know what is true. You yourselves did not go in, and you stopped those who were going in.
bwe@Luke:12:4 @ You are my friends. I tell you, do not fear people who can kill your bodies. After that they cannot do anything more to you.
bwe@Luke:12:15 @ Then he said to the people, Take care. Do not be greedy in any way to get more and more things. Even if a man has much more than he needs, it cannot give him life.
bwe@Luke:12:25 @ Can any of you live any longer by troubling yourself about these things?
bwe@Luke:12:26 @ If you cannot do a small thing like that, why do you trouble yourself about the other things?
bwe@Luke:12:33 @ Sell what you have and give it to poor people. Make for yourselves money bags that will not wear out. Keep the things you like in heaven. They will not be lost there. People cannot go in and steal them, and insects cannot spoil them.
bwe@Luke:12:42 @ The Lord said, Who is like a wise servant who can be trusted? His master will put him in charge of his other servants. He gives them food to eat at the right time.
bwe@Luke:12:46 @ If he does that, his master will come on a day when he is not looking for him. He will not know the time when his master is coming. His master will punish him very much and put him away with those he cannot trust.
bwe@Luke:13:9 @ If it has fruit on it next year, that will be good. But if it has no fruit, you can have it cut down."
bwe@Luke:13:33 @ But I must go on my way today, tomorrow, and the next day. A prophet of God cannot be killed outside of Jerusalem.
bwe@Luke:14:14 @ You will be made happy because they cannot pay you. You will be repaid when all good people are raised from death.
bwe@Luke:14:20 @ Another one said, "I have married a woman, and so I cannot come."
bwe@Luke:14:26 @ Many people were going with Jesus. He turned to them and said, If any man comes to me, he must hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sister. Yes, he must hate himself too. If he does not, he cannot be my disciple.
bwe@Luke:14:27 @ If anyone does not carry his cross <FI>is not ready to die<Fi> and come with me, he cannot be my disciple.
bwe@Luke:14:31 @ When a king goes to fight against another king, he sits down first and thinks about the matter. He will ask himself, "Can I fight him with ten thousand soldiers? He has twenty thousand soldiers."
bwe@Luke:14:32 @ If he cannot fight him, he will send some men to meet the other king while he is still far away. He will try to make peace with him.
bwe@Luke:14:33 @ In the same way, any one of you who does not give up all he has cannot be my disciple.
bwe@Luke:14:34 @ Salt is good. But if the salt has lost its taste, how can it be made salty again?
bwe@Luke:16:2 @ he called the manager and asked him, "What is this I hear about you? Tell me what you have done. You cannot be my manager any more."
bwe@Luke:16:10 @ Anyone who can be trusted in a little matter can also be trusted in a big matter. Anyone who does wrong in a very little matter will do wrong also in a big matter.
bwe@Luke:16:13 @ No servant can work for two masters. He will hate one and love the other. Or he will obey one and despise the other. You cannot work for both God and money.
bwe@Luke:16:26 @ But that is not all. A wide hole is between you and us. No one can go from here to you if he wanted to. And no one can come from where you are to us."
bwe@Luke:16:29 @ But Abraham said, "They have Moses and the Prophets. They can listen to them."
bwe@Luke:17:6 @ The Lord said, If you believe as much as a little mustard seed, then you can say to this tree, "Come up by the roots and plant yourself in the sea." And it would obey you.
bwe@Luke:17:20 @ The Pharisees asked Jesus, When will the kingdom of God come? He answered them, You cannot see the kingdom of God when it comes.
bwe@Luke:18:26 @ Those who heard it asked, Then who can be saved?
bwe@Luke:18:27 @ But Jesus said, God can do what men cannot do.
bwe@Luke:18:42 @ Jesus said, You can see now. You are healed because you believed.
bwe@Luke:20:36 @ They cannot die again. They are like angels. They are Gods children because they have been raised from death.
bwe@Luke:20:41 @ But Jesus asked them, How can people say that Christ is Davids son?
bwe@Luke:20:44 @ So David calls Christ his Lord. How can Christ be Davids son?
bwe@Luke:22:11 @ Tell the master of the house, "The Teacher says, Where is the room where I can eat the Passover Feast with my disciples?"
bwe@Luke:22:41 @ He went away from them about as far as a person can throw a stone. Then he kneeled down to talk with God.
bwe@Luke:24:38 @ Look at my hands and my feet. You can see that it is I myself. Touch me with your hands and see. A spirit does not have a body and bones as you see I have.
bwe@John:1:46 @ Nathanael said, From Nazareth? Can any good thing come from there? Philip said, Come and see for yourself.
bwe@John:2:1 @ Two days later there was a wedding in the town of Cana in the country of Galilee. Jesus mother was there.
bwe@John:2:11 @ This was the first big work that Jesus did. It was in Cana in Galilee. He showed that he was great. And his disciples believed in him.
bwe@John:3:3 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. No person can see Gods kingdom if he is not born again.
bwe@John:3:4 @ Nicodemus said, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he go inside of his mother again and be born?
bwe@John:3:5 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. This new birth is by water and by the Spirit. No person can enter Gods kingdom if he has not been born that way.
bwe@John:3:8 @ The wind blows where it wants to blow. You can hear the sound of it. But you do not know where it comes from, and you do not know where it goes. It is the same way with everyone who is born of the Spirit.
bwe@John:3:9 @ Nicodemus asked Jesus, How can such things be?
bwe@John:3:27 @ John answered, A man cannot get anything unless God in heaven gives it to him.
bwe@John:4:28 @ She said to the people, Come, I will show you a man who has told me everything I have done. Can this be the Christ?
bwe@John:4:45 @ So Jesus came back to the town of Cana in Galilee. That was the place where he had changed water into wine. One of the kings officers was there. His son was sick in the town of Capernaum.
bwe@John:5:19 @ Jesus said to them, l tell you the truth. The Son cannot do anything alone. He sees what his Father is doing and he does the same.
bwe@John:5:44 @ How can you believe? You are always calling each other great, but you do not want the only God to make you great.
bwe@John:6:9 @ He said, A boy here has five loaves of bread and two small fish. But what can that little bit of food do for so many people?
bwe@John:6:42 @ They said, Is he not Josephs son, Jesus? We know his father and mother. How can he say, "I have come down from heaven"?
bwe@John:6:44 @ No one can come to me if my Father does not draw him. He sent me. I myself will raise up the one who comes to me. I will bring him back to life on the last day.
bwe@John:6:52 @ The leaders of the Jews began to quarrel with each other about what Jesus said. They said, How can he give us himself to eat?
bwe@John:6:60 @ Many of his disciples heard it. They said, This is a hard teaching. Who can listen to it?
bwe@John:6:65 @ Then Jesus said, That is why I said to you, "No one can come to me unless my Father lets him come."
bwe@John:7:7 @ The people of the world cannot hate you. But they hate me because I say what they do is wrong.
bwe@John:7:15 @ The Jews were very much surprised. How can this man know books? He never went to school.
bwe@John:7:35 @ The Jews said to one another, Where will he go that we cannot find him? Will he go to our people who are living in other countries? Will he teach them?
bwe@John:8:21 @ Jesus talked to them again. He said, I am going away. You will try to find me and will die doing wrong things. You cannot come where I am going.
bwe@John:8:22 @ Then the Jews said, Will he kill himself? He says, "You cannot come where I am going."
bwe@John:8:46 @ Which one of you can prove that what I have done is bad? I tell you what is true. Why then do you not believe me?
bwe@John:9:10 @ They asked him, How is it that you can see now?
bwe@John:9:15 @ Then the Pharisees also asked the man, How is it that you can see now? He answered them, The man put mud on my eyes. I washed my eyes and now I can see.
bwe@John:9:16 @ Then some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God. He does not obey the Sabbath day law. The others said, But how can a bad man do such a big work? So the Pharisees did not agree together in what they thought about Jesus.
bwe@John:9:19 @ Tell us, they said. Is this your son who you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?
bwe@John:9:21 @ But we do not know how it is that he can now see. We do not know who healed him. Ask him. He is old enough to talk for himself.
bwe@John:9:25 @ He answered them, I do not know if he is a bad man or not. But one thing I do know. I know that first I was blind, but now I can see.
bwe@John:9:41 @ Jesus answered them, If you agreed that you were blind, you would not be bad people. But you say, "We can see." So then you are still bad people.
bwe@John:10:21 @ But others said, A person who has a bad spirit in him does not say the things this man says. Can a bad spirit make blind people see?
bwe@John:10:36 @ Nothing can change the words in the holy writings. It is written that God spoke to men and that he called them gods. So he called some men gods. Then why do you say I do not respect God when I say that I am the Son of God? I am the one God chose and sent into the world.
bwe@John:11:9 @ Jesus answered them, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a person walks in the daylight, then he will not fall. He can see by the light that is in the world.
bwe@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees said to each other, See, you cannot stop this thing. People everywhere are going after him.
bwe@John:12:35 @ Then Jesus said to them, You have light for a short time longer. Walk while you have the light so that you will not need to walk in the dark. The person who walks in the dark cannot see where he is going.
bwe@John:12:40 @ So they could not believe. Isaiah said also, God has made them blind. Their hearts have no feeling. They cannot see. They do not understand with their heart. They will not turn to God. If they did turn, he would heal them.
bwe@John:13:33 @ My children, I am with you for a short time longer. You will look for me. What I said to the Jews I say to you now: "You cannot come to the place where I am going."
bwe@John:13:36 @ Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus answered him, You cannot go with me where I am going now. Later on you will go with me.
bwe@John:13:37 @ Peter said to him, Lord, why can I not go with you now? I am willing to die for you.
bwe@John:14:5 @ Thomas said to Jesus, Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?
bwe@John:14:6 @ Jesus said to him, I am the way. I am the truth. I give life. No one can come to my Father unless I take him there.
bwe@John:14:17 @ He will send you the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive the true Spirit because it does not see or know him. You know him because he is with you and will be in you.
bwe@John:15:4 @ But you must be in me and I will be in you. The branch cannot bear fruit by itself. It must be joined to the tree. And you cannot do any good thing if you are not joined to me.
bwe@John:15:5 @ I am the fruit tree and you are the branches. I will be in the person who is in me. That person will have a fruitful life. But you can do nothing without me.
bwe@John:15:13 @ The strongest love anyone can have is this. He will die to save his friends.
bwe@John:16:12 @ I have many other things to tell you, but you cannot understand them now.
bwe@John:16:22 @ So you also are very sad now. But I will see you again. Then you will be very glad. And no one can take your joy from you.
bwe@John:21:2 @ Some of the disciples were in one place. They were Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of Jesus.
bwe@Acts:2:29 @ My brothers, I can talk very plainly to you about your father, David. He died and was buried. His grave is still here today.
bwe@Acts:2:38 @ Stop your wrong ways and turn back to God, answered Peter. And then everyone of you can be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ. Your wrong ways will be forgiven you, and you will receive the Holy Spirit.
bwe@Acts:4:12 @ No one else can save us. Of all the people in the world, God chose him to save us. It is by him we must be saved.
bwe@Acts:4:16 @ They said, What shall we do to these men? All the people who live in Jerusalem know about this big work they have done. And we cannot say they did not do it.
bwe@Acts:5:38 @ So now, I say, do nothing to these men. Leave them alone. If this is the teaching or work of men, it will come to an end. But if it is of God, you cannot stop these men. You might even be fighting against God!
bwe@Acts:6:5 @ This pleased all the people. The men they chose were Stephen, a man who believed God and was full of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus from Antioch who had joined the Jews.
bwe@Acts:7:11 @ For a long, long time there was no rain in Egypt and Canaan. And so there was very little food. This caused much trouble. Our fathers had nothing to eat.
bwe@Acts:8:21 @ You have no part in this matter. You cannot have any of this because God sees that your heart is not right.
bwe@Acts:8:27 @ So Philip went. He saw a man from the country of Ethiopia. This man was a servant of Candace, the queen of the Ethiopian people. She gave this servant much power. He took care of her money. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship.
bwe@Acts:8:31 @ How can I? I have no man to teach me, he answered. He asked Philip to get into the carriage and ride with him.
bwe@Acts:10:46 @ They heard them speak in tongues of other languages and praise God. Then Peter said, These people have received the Holy Spirit just as we have. Can anyone say they may not be baptised in water?
bwe@Acts:13:19 @ God took seven tribes out of the land of Canaan. Then he divided the land among our people.
bwe@Acts:14:15 @ They said, Why are you people doing this? We are only men like you. You should leave these gods which cannot help you. You should turn to the living God. He made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.
bwe@Acts:15:1 @ Some men came from Judea and taught the Christian brothers. They said, You must be circumcised with the mark made on your body in the way Moses taught us. If you are not circumcised you cannot be saved.
bwe@Acts:15:10 @ So now why are you doing what God did not do? You give the disciples a hard thing to do. Our fathers could not do it. And we cannot do it.
bwe@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said, We are Romans. And they have beaten us outside where people can see. They have put us in prison without proving we have done wrong. Now, are they going to take us out of prison secretly? No, they themselves must come and take us out.
bwe@Acts:17:25 @ Men cannot worship him by things they make with their hands because he does not need anything. He is the one who gives life and breath and everything else to all people.
bwe@Acts:19:36 @ No person can say it is not true. So you should be quiet and not do anything foolish.
bwe@Acts:20:35 @ I have always shown you that you must work hard, as I have. You must help those who cannot work. By so doing you are remembering the words of the Lord Jesus. He said, "It makes you more happy to give something than to get something."
bwe@Acts:21:21 @ They have heard that you teach all the Jews who live in other lands. They heard that you tell them not to obey Moses law: that they need not circumcise their children like the Jews do; and they can leave the Jewish ways of living.
bwe@Acts:22:13 @ He came to see me. He stood by my side and said to me, "Brother Saul, you can see again!" And right then I was able to see him.
bwe@Acts:24:13 @ They cannot prove the things they have said against me here.
bwe@Acts:25:5 @ Let the men among you who are able come with me. If Paul has done anything wrong, then they can talk against him.
bwe@Acts:25:21 @ But Paul asked to wait and let Caesar judge his case. So I had him put in prison to be kept there until I can send him to Caesar.
bwe@Acts:27:12 @ This place was not a good place for the boat to stay through the winter months of the year. So most of the men wanted to go on. They thought they might be able to reach Phoenicia and stay there for the winter. Phoenicia is a good place on the island of Crete. Boats can stay there. The winds do not blow against them.
bwe@Acts:27:31 @ But Paul said to the officer and soldiers, If these men do not stay on the boat, you cannot be saved.
bwe@Acts:27:34 @ So now, I beg you, eat something. You need it to make you strong so you can save yourselves. Not one of you will lose even one hair from your head.
bwe@Acts:27:43 @ But the officer wanted to save Paul, so he stopped the soldiers. He told the people, Those of you who can swim, jump into the water first and get to the land.
bwe@Romans:1:20 @ People cannot see that God has power which lasts for ever. They cannot see that he is really God. But ever since he made the world, he has clearly shown this by the things he made. So they cannot say, I did not know about God.
bwe@Romans:1:23 @ They did not worship God who cannot die. But they worshipped things made to look like a man who does die. They worshipped things made to look like birds and animals and snakes.
bwe@Romans:2:19 @ You are sure that you can lead people who are like blind men. You are like a light for people who are in the dark.
bwe@Romans:2:20 @ You are sure that you can tell foolish people what is right. You can teach people who are like children. You know what you need to know and you know what is true because you have the law.
bwe@Romans:3:3 @ But some Jews did not keep his law. Does that mean that God cannot be trusted?
bwe@Romans:3:19 @ We know that everything the law says, it says to the people who have the law. Then no one can say a word for themselves. All the people in the world will be brought to God to be judged.
bwe@Romans:3:21 @ So now God has shown how people can be put right with him without the law. The law and the prophets said he would do it.
bwe@Romans:4:5 @ But no person can work to put himself right with God. It is God alone who makes a bad person right. The one who believes in him-even a bad person is put right.
bwe@Romans:5:2 @ Because we believe, Christ has brought us to the place where God can do us good. We are in that place now. We are very happy because we have the hope that we shall see Gods greatness.
bwe@Romans:5:11 @ Not only is that true, but it is through our Lord Jesus Christ that we can enjoy God. This is for all who have been brought back to God by him.
bwe@Romans:5:18 @ One man did a wrong thing. And so all people were punished through him. But Christ did the right thing. And so all people can have the free gift of life through being put right with God.
bwe@Romans:7:18 @ I know that no good thing lives in me. I mean, no good thing lives in my body. I want to do what is good, but I cannot do it.
bwe@Romans:7:21 @ So there is a law I find that it is at work in me. When I want to do what is right, I can only do what is wrong.
bwe@Romans:8:7 @ People who think about the things of this life are Gods enemies. They do not obey Gods law. They cannot obey it.
bwe@Romans:8:8 @ People who do what their bodies want cannot please God.
bwe@Romans:8:24 @ That is what we hoped for when we were saved. When the thing hoped for is seen, there is no more hoping. When a person sees a thing, how can he hope for it?
bwe@Romans:8:26 @ Also the Spirit helps us because we are weak. We do not know how we should talk to God. But the Spirit himself talks to God for us, while we cry and cannot say any words.
bwe@Romans:8:31 @ So what shall we say about this? If God is on our side, who can be against us?
bwe@Romans:8:35 @ Who can take us away from Christs love? We may have trouble. We may have hard times. People may make us suffer because we believe. We may have no food to eat and no clothes to wear. We may be in danger. We may be killed with big knives. Can any of these things take us away from Christs love?
bwe@Romans:8:39 @ I know this. Death, life, angels, rulers, things happening now, things that will happen, high things, low things; nothing else in all the world can come between us and Gods love in Christ Jesus our Lord.
bwe@Romans:9:18 @ So you will ask me, Why does God still blame us? Who can fight against what God has planned?
bwe@Romans:9:19 @ But you are only a man. Will you tell God what to do? Can the pot say to the man who made it, Why did you make me like this?
bwe@Romans:9:20 @ The person who makes pots has power over the mud. He can make two different pots out of one pile of mud. One pot will be fine and another will not be fine. Can the potter not make them so?
bwe@Romans:10:2 @ I can say this about them, they want very much to obey God. But they do not know the right way.
bwe@Romans:10:14 @ But how can people call someone if they have not believed in him? And how can they believe in him if they have not heard about him? And how can they hear about him if no one tells them about him?
bwe@Romans:10:15 @ And how can people tell about him if no one sends them? The holy writings say, How good are the feet of those who bring the good news of peace and happiness.
bwe@Romans:11:10 @ Make their eyes become blind so that they cannot see. Make their backs bent all the time.
bwe@Romans:11:24 @ You were cut off from a wild olive tree. And you were put on a good olive tree. That is not the way trees grow. But it can be done. And so, even more, the Jewish branches will be put back on their own olive tree.
bwe@Romans:11:33 @ God is very kind. He is very wise. He knows much. No one can understand why he judges the way he does. No one can find out why he does the things he does.
bwe@Romans:12:6 @ We have different gifts because God has blessed us in different ways. If a person![[pBiblx2]](/img/menu.png)
