bwe@Info @ DESCRIPTION: The Bible in Worldwide English (BWE)\par This New Testament was originally prepared by Annie Cressman, who died in 1993. She was a Canadian Bible teacher in Liberia in West Africa. Whilst teaching students in a Bible School where the language used was English, she found that she was spending more time explaining the meaning of the English than she was teaching the Bible itself. So she decided to write this simple version in easy English so that her students could easily understand.\par\par In 1959 the Full Gospel Publishing House in Toronto, Canada, printed a trial edition of the Gospel of Mark. A further edition was published in 1962 by the American Bible Society. The whole New Testament was first published by SOON Publications in India in 1969 in hardback form. This was assisted by Operation Mobilisation (OM) and was reprinted in 1971.\par\par The vision to reprint a new edition of the whole New Testament has now been carried out by SOON in conjunction with EPH and OM. Where a change to more modern words has been made, this has been kept in line with the the Authorised Version.

bwe@Matthew:1:2 @ Jesus family line: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Perez (his mother was Tamar), Zezron, Ram, Amminadab, Nahshon, Salmon, Boaz (his mother was Rahab), Obed (his mother was Ruth), Jesse, David the king, Solomon (whose mother was Uriahs wife), Rehoboam, Abijah, Asa, Jehoshaphat, Joram, Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, Manasseh, Amon, Josiah, Jeconiah and his brothers (at the time the people of Israel were carried away to Babylon), Shealtiel, Zerubbabel, Abiud, Eliakim, Azor, Zadok, Achim, Eliud, Eleazor, Matthan, Jacob and Joseph who was the husband of Mary. Mary was the mother of Jesus, who is called the Christ.

bwe@Matthew:1:18 @ This is the way Jesus Christ was born. Mary, his mother, was promised to Joseph to be his wife. But before they were married, she found out that she was going to have a baby. It was by the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Matthew:1:20 @ While he was thinking about this, he had a dream. An angel of the Lord came to him. He said, Joseph, Davids son, do not fear to take Mary to be your wife. Her baby is by the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Matthew:1:21 @ She will have a baby son. Name him Jesus, because he will save his people from the wrong things they have done.

bwe@Matthew:1:22 @ All of this had been told long before by the Lord through his prophet. It came true.

bwe@Matthew:1:23 @ The prophet said, A young woman who has not slept with a man is going to have a baby son. His name will be Emmanuel. That means "God is with us."

bwe@Matthew:1:24 @ Joseph woke up and did what the angel of the Lord told him to do. He took Mary to be his wife.

bwe@Matthew:2:2 @ They asked, Where is the child who has been born to be King of the Jews? We saw his star rising and we have come to worship him.

bwe@Matthew:2:3 @ When King Herod heard this, he was very troubled. All the people in Jerusalem were troubled also.

bwe@Matthew:2:11 @ They went into the house, and there they saw the child and Mary his mother. They kneeled down and worshipped him. Then they opened their bags and gave him gifts. These gifts were gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

bwe@Matthew:2:13 @ After the wise men had gone, Joseph had a dream. An angel of the Lord came to him and said, Get up. Take the child and his mother, and go quickly to the country of Egypt. Stay there till I tell you, because Herod will try to find the child and kill him.

bwe@Matthew:2:14 @ Joseph woke up. He took the child and his mother in the night and went to Egypt.

bwe@Matthew:2:15 @ He stayed there until Herod died. What the Lord told through his prophet long ago, came true. He said I called my son out of Egypt.

bwe@Matthew:2:20 @ The angel said, Get up. Take the child and his mother and go to the country of Israel. The men who wanted to kill the child are dead.

bwe@Matthew:2:21 @ Joseph woke up. He took the child and his mother and went to the country of Israel.

bwe@Matthew:2:22 @ But he heard that Archelaus was king of Judea in his father Herods place. So he was afraid to go there. In a dream he was told what to do. He went to the country of Galilee.

bwe@Matthew:2:23 @ He went and made his home in the town of Nazareth. The prophets of God long ago had said, He shall be called a man from Nazareth. What they said came true.

bwe@Matthew:3:3 @ This is the man that Isaiah the prophet of God spoke about long ago. He said, A man is calling in the wilderness, "Make the way ready for the Lord. Make the road straight for him."

bwe@Matthew:3:11 @ I baptise you with water when you stop your wrong ways. But another person is coming after me. He is greater than I am. I am not good enough to take off his shoes. He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

bwe@Matthew:3:12 @ He has a cleaning fan in his hand and will fan his grain very clean. He will put the grain into his storehouse. But he will burn the chaff in the fire that never dies.

bwe@Matthew:3:15 @ But Jesus answered, Please do it now. In this way we shall do all that is right. Then John let him be baptised.

bwe@Matthew:3:17 @ A voice from the sky said, This is my dear Son. I am very pleased with him.

bwe@Matthew:4:6 @ The devil said to him, If you are Gods Son, jump down. The holy writings say, "God will tell his angels to take care of you. They will hold you up in their hands so that you will not knock your foot on a stone."

bwe@Matthew:4:18 @ Jesus was walking by the sea of Galilee. There he saw two brothers, Simon who later was named Peter, and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a fishing net into the water. Their work was to catch fish.

bwe@Matthew:5:1 @ When Jesus saw the many people, he went up on a hill. He sat down and his disciples came to him.

bwe@Matthew:5:21 @ You have heard this said to men long ago, "Do not kill. Anyone who kills will be judged in court."

bwe@Matthew:5:22 @ But I tell you this. Anyone who is angry with his brother without having a good reason, will be judged in court. Anyone who says wrong things to his brother will be judged for it in the big court. Anyone who says "You fool!" will be judged to go into hell fire.

bwe@Matthew:5:23 @ Perhaps you are bringing your gift to God at his altar. There you remember that your brother has something against you.

bwe@Matthew:5:28 @ But I tell you that if a man looks at a woman and he wants her, then he has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

bwe@Matthew:5:31 @ The law said, "Any man who does not want to keep his wife must give her a paper to tell others she is no longer his wife."

bwe@Matthew:5:32 @ But I tell you, no man may send away his wife unless she has committed adultery. If he does send her away, he is making her commit adultery. And if a man marries a woman who has been sent away from her husband, he commits adultery.

bwe@Matthew:5:33 @ Also you have heard this said to men long ago, "You must not make a promise in Gods name and break it." And, "You must do for the Lord what you said you would do."

bwe@Matthew:5:35 @ Do not use the name of earth, because that is where God rests his feet. Do not use the name of Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.

bwe@Matthew:5:45 @ In that way you will be sons of your Father in heaven. He makes his sun shine on both wrong and good people. He lets the rain fall on people who do right and on people who do wrong.

bwe@Matthew:6:2 @ So when you give money to poor people, do not send men in front of you to blow trumpets or horns. Some people do this in the meeting houses and on the streets so that people will praise them. They are not true to themselves. I tell you the truth. They have their pay already.

bwe@Matthew:6:4 @ In this way, what you give to the poor will be secret. Your Father sees secret things and he will reward you.

bwe@Matthew:6:9 @ So talk to your God like this: "Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

bwe@Matthew:6:25 @ So, I tell you this. Do not be troubled about what you will eat or drink to keep alive. Do not be troubled about what you will wear on your body. Life itself is worth more than food, and the body is worth more than clothes.

bwe@Matthew:7:16 @ You will know them by the things they do. People do not pick fruit like grapes from thistles. They do not pick fruit like figs from thorn trees.

bwe@Matthew:7:24 @ Everyone who hears what I say and obeys me will be like a man who has good sense. He built his house on a rock.

bwe@Matthew:7:26 @ But everyone who hears what I say and does not obey me, will be like a man who has no sense. He built his house on the sand.

bwe@Matthew:7:28 @ Jesus finished saying all these things. The people were surprised at his teaching.

bwe@Matthew:8:3 @ Jesus put out his hand and touched him. He said, I want to. Be healed. Right away his leprosy was healed.

bwe@Matthew:8:4 @ Jesus said to him, Do not tell anyone about this. But go and let the priest look at you. Moses gave a law about the sacrifice you must give when you are healed. Give it, to prove to people you are healed.

bwe@Matthew:8:9 @ I myself am a man who takes orders, and I have soldiers who take orders from me. I say to one, "Go," and he goes. I say to another one, "Come," and he comes. I say to my servant, "Do this," and he does it.

bwe@Matthew:8:10 @ Jesus was surprised when he heard this. He said to the people who followed him, I tell you the truth. I have not found any Jew who believes as this man does.

bwe@Matthew:8:23 @ Jesus got in the boat and his disciples got in with him.

bwe@Matthew:8:27 @ The disciples were surprised. They said What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him.

bwe@Matthew:9:1 @ Jesus got in the boat and crossed the sea. He came to his own town.

bwe@Matthew:9:2 @ Some men brought a sick man to him. The man could not move his arms or legs. He was lying on a bed. Jesus saw that they believed he would be healed. So he said to the sick man, My son, be glad! The wrong things you have done are forgiven.

bwe@Matthew:9:3 @ Some of the scribes were thinking, This man is not giving respect to God.

bwe@Matthew:9:8 @ Many people saw this and were much surprised. They praised God who had given such power to men.

bwe@Matthew:9:10 @ Jesus was eating in a house. Many tax collectors and bad people came in. They sat down to eat with Jesus and his disciples.

bwe@Matthew:9:11 @ The Pharisees saw this. They said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and bad people?

bwe@Matthew:9:13 @ Go and learn what this means: "I want you to be kind. I do not want a sacrifice." I did not come to call good people. I came to call bad people to stop doing wrong things.

bwe@Matthew:9:19 @ Jesus got up and went with the ruler. His disciples went too.

bwe@Matthew:9:20 @ A woman had a sickness for twelve years. She was bleeding all the time. She came behind Jesus and touched his clothes.

bwe@Matthew:9:21 @ She said to herself, If only I touch his clothes, I will be well.

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:9:30 @ Then they were able to see. Jesus said to them, Take care, do not tell anyone about this.

bwe@Matthew:9:32 @ As they were leaving, people brought a man to Jesus. This man could not talk He had a bad spirit in him.

bwe@Matthew:9:33 @ Jesus drove the bad spirit out of the man. Then he could talk. The people were very much surprised. They said, Nothing like this has ever been seen in the country of Israel.

bwe@Matthew:9:37 @ Then Jesus said to his disciples, The harvest is much. But there are not many people to gather it.

bwe@Matthew:9:38 @ Talk to the Lord of this harvest, and ask him to send out people to his harvest.

bwe@Matthew:10:1 @ Jesus called his twelve disciples to him. He gave them power over bad spirits so they could drive them out of people. He gave them power to heal people who were sick or weak in any way.

bwe@Matthew:10:2 @ The names of the twelve apostles are: Simon, whose other name was Peter, and his brother Andrew, James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose other name was Thaddaeus, Simon, the freedom fighter, and Judas Iscariot, the one who gave Jesus over to people who hated him.

bwe@Matthew:10:10 @ Do not take a bag with you, and do not take two shirts, shoes, or a walking stick. The one who does the work should be given his food.

bwe@Matthew:10:21 @ A brother will take his brother to be killed. A father will take his child. The children will talk against their father and mother, and have them killed.

bwe@Matthew:10:24 @ The one who learns is not better than his teacher. And the servant is not better than his master.

bwe@Matthew:10:25 @ The one who learns should want to be like his teacher. And the servant should want to be like his master. If they say the master belongs to the devil, they will say it all the more about those who work for him.

bwe@Matthew:10:35 @ I came to take away peace between a man and his father. I came to take away peace between a daughter and her mother. I came to take away peace between a mans wife and his mother.

bwe@Matthew:10:36 @ A man will have people in his own family who make trouble for him.

bwe@Matthew:10:37 @ Anyone who loves his father or his mother more than he loves me, is not good enough for me. Anyone who loves his son or his daughter more than he loves me, is not good enough for me.

bwe@Matthew:10:38 @ Anyone who is not willing to carry his cross and suffer with me, is not good enough for me.

bwe@Matthew:10:39 @ Anyone who tries to keep his life, will lose it. Anyone who gives up his life for my sake, will find it.

bwe@Matthew:10:42 @ And if any one as a disciple gives a drink of cold water to one of my children, he will not lose his reward. I tell you the truth.

bwe@Matthew:11:1 @ When Jesus finished telling his twelve disciples what to do, he left that place. He went to teach and tell Gods word to people in the towns around there.

bwe@Matthew:11:2 @ John was in prison. He heard what Christ was doing. So he sent two of his disciples to him.

bwe@Matthew:11:6 @ Anyone who is not troubled in his heart about me, will be happy.

bwe@Matthew:11:14 @ If you will believe it, this man is the Elijah who would come.

bwe@Matthew:11:19 @ The Son of Man came. He eats and drinks. People say, "This man eats and drinks too much! He is a friend with tax collectors and bad people!" But a man is proved to be wise by what he has done.

bwe@Matthew:11:20 @ Then Jesus began to talk about the towns where he had done most of his big works. He said hard things about the people, because they did not stop their wrong ways and turn back to God.

bwe@Matthew:12:1 @ About that time, Jesus was walking through the grain fields on a Sabbath day. His disciples were hungry. They began to pick some of the grain and to eat it.

bwe@Matthew:12:3 @ But Jesus said to them, Have you not read what David did? He and his men who were with him were hungry.

bwe@Matthew:12:7 @ You do not know what this means, "I want you to be kind; I do not want a sacrifice." If you knew, then you would not have said what they did was wrong. What they did was not wrong.

bwe@Matthew:12:13 @ Then he said to the man, Hold out your hand. The man held out his hand and it was made well like the other hand.

bwe@Matthew:12:18 @ He said, This is my servant. I have chosen him. I love him. I am very pleased with him. I will put my Spirit on him. He will judge the people who are not Jews.

bwe@Matthew:12:19 @ He will not fight or shout. No one will hear his voice in the streets.

bwe@Matthew:12:24 @ The Pharisees heard about it. They said, This man drives out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub, the chief of bad spirits.

bwe@Matthew:12:26 @ If Satan drives out Satan, he fights against himself. How then will his kingdom 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:12:31 @ That is why I tell you this. All wrong things that people do or say, will be forgiven. But people who say wrong things against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven.

bwe@Matthew:12:32 @ Anyone who says anything against the Son of Man will be forgiven. But anyone who says anything against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. He will not be forgiven in this world or in the next world.

bwe@Matthew:12:35 @ A good man has stored up good things in his heart, so he will say good things. A bad man has stored up wrong things in his heart, so he will say wrong things.

bwe@Matthew:12:36 @ I tell you this. On the day when people are judged, they will pay for every empty word they have said.

bwe@Matthew:12:46 @ While Jesus was still talking to the people, his mother and brothers stood outside. They wanted to talk to him.

bwe@Matthew:12:49 @ He pointed to his disciples and said, These people are my mother and my brothers!

bwe@Matthew:13:19 @ People listen to the message about the kingdom of heaven. If anyone does not understand it, the devil comes along and takes the message out of his heart. That person is like the seed which fell on the road.

bwe@Matthew:13:21 @ But it does not go down deep in his heart. He believes it for a short time. When trouble or a hard time comes because of the message, he stops believing.

bwe@Matthew:13:22 @ Some seed fell among the weeds. That is like the person who hears the message. But he thinks about the things of this world. He wants to get money to be happy. These things push the message out of his heart. No good comes from it.

bwe@Matthew:13:24 @ Jesus told the people another story. He said, The kingdom of heaven is like this. A man sowed good seed in his field.

bwe@Matthew:13:28 @ He answered them, "A bad man has done this." They asked him, "Do you want us to go and pull up the weeds?"

bwe@Matthew:13:31 @ Jesus told the people another story. He said, The kingdom of heaven is like this. A man took a mustard seed and planted it in his field.

bwe@Matthew:13:33 @ Jesus told them another story. He said, The kingdom of heaven is like this. A woman took yeast and mixed it with many cups of flour. The yeast went all through the flour.

bwe@Matthew:13:36 @ Then Jesus left the people and went into the house. His disciples came to him. They said, Tell us the meaning of the story about the weeds in the field.

bwe@Matthew:13:39 @ The bad man who planted the weeds is the devil. The harvest time is the end of this world. The men who cut the harvest are angels.

bwe@Matthew:13:41 @ The Son of Man will send his angels. They will gather everything that is bad and the people who do bad things. They will take them out of his kingdom.

bwe@Matthew:13:44 @ The kingdom of heaven is like this. Something worth a lot of money is buried in a field. A man found it and covered it again. He was so glad that he went and sold everything he had. Then he bought that field.

bwe@Matthew:13:45 @ The kingdom of heaven is like this. A trader was looking for fine stones called pearls.

bwe@Matthew:13:47 @ The kingdom of heaven is like this. A fish net was thrown into the sea. It caught all kinds of fish.

bwe@Matthew:13:54 @ He went back to his home town and he taught people in their meeting house. They were very much surprised and said, Where did he learn all this? Where did he get the power to do these big works?

bwe@Matthew:13:55 @ Is he not the carpenters son? Is not Mary his mother? Are not James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas his brothers?

bwe@Matthew:13:56 @ Are not his sisters all here with us? Where did he get all this?

bwe@Matthew:13:57 @ They did not understand Jesus. Jesus said to them, Other people honour a man who is a prophet. But the people in his own country and home do not honour him.

bwe@Matthew:14:1 @ At this time Herod the ruler heard of Jesus.

bwe@Matthew:14:2 @ He said to his servants, This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from death. That is why he is able to do such great work.

bwe@Matthew:14:3 @ Herod had taken John and tied him up. He put him in prison. He did this because of Herodias. She was the wife of his brother Philip.

bwe@Matthew:14:9 @ The king was very sorry to do this. But he had made a promise. And all the people who were there had heard him promise. So he gave orders to do it.

bwe@Matthew:14:12 @ Then Johns disciples came and took his body and buried it. They went and told Jesus.

bwe@Matthew:14:13 @ When Jesus heard this, he went away from there in a boat. He went to a lonely place by himself. The people heard that he went away and they followed him. They walked from the towns around there.

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:14:24 @ The boat was far out on the water by this time. The water was beating against the boat and the wind was blowing the wrong way.

bwe@Matthew:14:26 @ His disciples saw him walking on the water. They were afraid, and said, It is a spirit! Then they shouted loudly because they were afraid.

bwe@Matthew:14:31 @ Right away Jesus put out his hand and took hold of him. He said, You do not believe very much in me! Why did you not believe?

bwe@Matthew:14:36 @ They begged Jesus to let them touch his clothes. And all the people who touched him were healed.

bwe@Matthew:15:4 @ God said, "Respect your father and your mother." And God said, "Anyone who says wrong things to his father or his mother will surely die."

bwe@Matthew:15:5 @ But you say, "Tell your father or your mother that you have given to God what you were going to give to them." You say, "If anyone says that, then he does not need to help his father or mother."

bwe@Matthew:15:17 @ Do you not know this? What goes into the mouth goes into the stomach, and then it goes out of the body.

bwe@Matthew:15:18 @ But what comes out of the mouth, comes from the heart. This is what makes a person dirty.

bwe@Matthew:15:22 @ Jesus did not answer her. His disciples came to him and said, Send her away. She keeps calling after us.

bwe@Matthew:15:31 @ Jesus called his disciples to him. He said, I share the suffering of the people. They have been with me for three days and they have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry. If they go away hungry, they will get weak and fall on the way.

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:16:13 @ Jesus went to the country of Caesarea Philippi. He asked his disciples, I am the Son of Man. Whom do people say I am?

bwe@Matthew:16:17 @ Jesus answered, Simon, Jonahs son, God has blessed you. No person on earth has showed you this. But my Father in heaven has showed you.

bwe@Matthew:16:18 @ I tell you this. You are Peter. On this rock I will build my church. The power of death will not destroy it.

bwe@Matthew:16:21 @ From that time on, Jesus began to teach his disciples. He said, I must go to Jerusalem. I will have much trouble from the leaders, the chief priests, and the scribes. I will be killed. On the third day, I will be raised from death.

bwe@Matthew:16:22 @ Peter took him to one side and began to talk to him. He said, Lord! May God stop it! This must never happen to you.

bwe@Matthew:16:24 @ Then Jesus told his disciples, If anyone wants to come with me, he must leave what he himself wants to do. He must be willing to carry his cross and come with me.

bwe@Matthew:16:25 @ Anyone who wants to keep his life will lose it. And anyone who gives up his life for my sake will find it.

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:16:27 @ The Son of Man will come with his angels and will be great like his Father. Then he will pay every man for what he has done.

bwe@Matthew:16:28 @ I tell you the truth. Some people are standing here who will not die before they see the Son of Man come in his kingdom.

bwe@Matthew:17:1 @ Six days after this, Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John with him. He led them up a hill by themselves.

bwe@Matthew:17:2 @ Jesus was changed in front of them. His face was bright like the sun. His clothes were white, like light.

bwe@Matthew:17:4 @ Peter said to Jesus, Lord, this is a good place for us. If you want, we will make three places here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

bwe@Matthew:17:5 @ While he was saying this, a bright cloud came over them. A voice in the cloud said, This is my dear Son. I am very pleased with him. Listen to him.

bwe@Matthew:17:20 @ Jesus said to them, Because you do not believe enough. I tell you the truth. If your strength to believe were as much as a little mustard seed, you could say to this hill, "Go, move over to that place!" And it would move. Nothing is too hard for you to do.

bwe@Matthew:17:21 @ But this kind of bad spirit does not come out of a person unless people ask God and fast <FI>do not eat food for a time<Fi>.

bwe@Matthew:17:22 @ They were travelling in Galilee. Jesus said to his disciples, The Son of Man will be given over to men.

bwe@Matthew:17:23 @ They will kill him. But he will be raised on the third day. This troubled the disciples very much.

bwe@Matthew:18:4 @ So anyone who feels himself small like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

bwe@Matthew:18:5 @ If anyone takes in a child like this for my sake, he takes in me.

bwe@Matthew:18:6 @ These little children believe in me. If anyone makes one of them do wrong, he will be punished. He will have worse trouble than if a big stone were tied to his neck and he were thrown into the deep sea.

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:18:12 @ What do you think about this? A man has a hundred sheep. One of them is lost. Will he not leave the ninety-nine sheep on the hills and go to look for the one that is lost? Yes, he will.

bwe@Matthew:18:23 @ In that way the kingdom of heaven is like this. A king was ready to finish his business with his servants.

bwe@Matthew:18:25 @ He could not pay it. So his master said, "Go sell him, his wife, his children, and everything he has, and pay me!"

bwe@Matthew:18:27 @ His master was sorry for him and let him go. He did not make him pay the money.

bwe@Matthew:18:28 @ That same servant went out and met another servant. This man owed him a much smaller sum of money. He caught him by the throat and said, Pay me what you owe me!"

bwe@Matthew:18:29 @ Then this servant bowed down in front of him. He begged, "Give me time. I will pay you."

bwe@Matthew:18:32 @ Then his master called the first servant to him. He said, "You bad man! I let you go. I did not make you pay all you owed me, because you begged me to be kind to you.

bwe@Matthew:18:34 @ His master was very angry. He turned the servant over to the prison guards until he could pay all he owed him.

bwe@Matthew:19:1 @ When Jesus had finished this talk, he left Galilee. He went away to the part of Judea that is on the other side of the Jordan River.

bwe@Matthew:19:3 @ The Pharisees came to Jesus to test him. They asked, Is it right for a man to send his wife away from him for any reason?

bwe@Matthew:19:4 @ Jesus answered, Have you not read this? From the time God first made people, he made them a man and a woman.

bwe@Matthew:19:5 @ God said, "A man must leave his father and mother and must stay with his wife. The two of them will be like one person."

bwe@Matthew:19:7 @ They said to Jesus, Then why did Moses make this law? He said that a man may give his wife a paper to show that he does not want her any more. Then he may send her away.

bwe@Matthew:19:9 @ But I tell you this. No man may send his wife away unless she has committed adultery. If he does, and if he marries another woman, he commits adultery. And if a man marries a woman who has been sent away by her husband, he commits adultery.

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:19:13 @ Then people brought children to Jesus. They wanted him to put his hands on them and ask God to bless them. The disciples tried to stop the people.

bwe@Matthew:19:15 @ So he put his hands on the children. Then he went away.

bwe@Matthew:19:21 @ Jesus said, If you want to be all right, go and sell everything you have. Give the money to poor people. For this you will be rich in heaven. Then come and go with me.

bwe@Matthew:19:23 @ Then Jesus said to his disciples, I tell you the truth. It is very hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

bwe@Matthew:19:24 @ And I tell you this also. It is easier for a big animal like a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

bwe@Matthew:19:25 @ When the disciples heard this, they were very much surprised. They said, Then who can be saved?

bwe@Matthew:19:28 @ Jesus said to them, I tell you the truth. In the new world, the Son of Man will be great. He will sit on his throne of glory <FI>big chair of a king<Fi> to rule. Then you who have come with me will also sit on twelve thrones. You will judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

bwe@Matthew:19:29 @ If anyone has left his house, his brothers, his sisters, his father, his mother, his children, or his farms for my sake, he will receive a hundred times as much as he has left. And he will live for ever.

bwe@Matthew:20:1 @ The kingdom of heaven is like this. A man owned a farm. Early in the morning he went out to look for men to work on his farm.

bwe@Matthew:20:2 @ He agreed to pay them a days wages and sent them out to his farm.

bwe@Matthew:20:8 @ When evening came, the man who owned the farm said to his manager, "Call the workmen and pay them. Begin with those who came last and end with those who came first."

bwe@Matthew:20:28 @ The Son of Man did not come to have others help him. But he came to help others. He came to give his life to make many people free.

bwe@Matthew:21:1 @ Jesus and his disciples came near to Jerusalem. They came to the village of Bethphage by the hill called the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus sent two of his disciples ahead.

bwe@Matthew:21:4 @ This happened, and what the prophet of God said long ago, came true.

bwe@Matthew:21:10 @ When Jesus came into Jerusalem, all the people there were very excited. They said, Who is this?

bwe@Matthew:21:11 @ The people who were with Jesus said, This is Jesus from the town of Nazareth in Galilee. He is a prophet.

bwe@Matthew:21:16 @ They asked Jesus, Do you hear what they are saying? Jesus answered, Yes. Have you never read this? "You like the praise of children and babies."

bwe@Matthew:21:21 @ Jesus said to them, I tell you the truth. Believe God. Do not doubt him. Then you can do what I did to this fig tree. But that is not all. You can even say to this hill, "Go and jump into the sea" and it will be done.

bwe@Matthew:21:28 @ What do you think about this? A man had two sons. He went to the first one and said, "Son, go and work today on my farm."

bwe@Matthew:21:29 @ The son said, "No, I will not go." But he changed his mind and went.

bwe@Matthew:21:31 @ Which of the two sons did what his father wanted him to do? They said, The first one. Then Jesus said, I tell you the truth. The tax collectors and women who commit adultery by selling their bodies, are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.

bwe@Matthew:21:34 @ When it was near the time to cut the fruit, he sent his servants to those men. He wanted to have some of the fruit.

bwe@Matthew:21:37 @ Last of all he sent his son to them. He said, "They will respect my son."

bwe@Matthew:21:38 @ When the men saw the son, they said to each other, "This is the one who will have everything when his father dies. Let us kill him and we will have it all."

bwe@Matthew:21:42 @ Jesus said, Have you never read in the holy writings "The stone which the builders would not use is now the chief corner stone. The Lord did this. It looks wonderful to us"?

bwe@Matthew:21:44 @ If anyone falls on this stone, he will be broken to pieces. But if this stone falls on anyone, it will crush him.

bwe@Matthew:22:2 @ He said, The kingdom of heaven is like this. A king made a wedding for his son.

bwe@Matthew:22:3 @ The king sent his servants to call the people who had been asked to the wedding. But they would not come.

bwe@Matthew:22:5 @ The people did not listen, but went away. One went to his farm. One went to his business.

bwe@Matthew:22:6 @ The others caught his servants, treated them very badly, and killed them.

bwe@Matthew:22:7 @ The king was very angry. He sent his soldiers to kill the men who had killed his servants. And he burned their city.

bwe@Matthew:22:8 @ Then he said to his servants, "The wedding is ready. But those who were asked to come were not good enough.

bwe@Matthew:22:13 @ Then the king said to his servants, "Tie his hands and his feet. Put him in a dark place outside. People there will cry and grind <FI>make a noise with<Fi> their teeth."

bwe@Matthew:22:20 @ Whose picture and name is this? he asked.

bwe@Matthew:22:24 @ They came to ask him a question. They said, Teacher, Moses gave us this law: "If a man dies and has no children, then his brother must marry the wife and raise a family for his brother."

bwe@Matthew:22:25 @ There were seven brothers among us. The first one married. He died and left no children. So his brother married the wife.

bwe@Matthew:22:28 @ Now then, when people rise from death, which of the seven brothers will have her for his wife? They all married her.

bwe@Matthew:22:33 @ When the people heard this, they were surprised at his teaching.

bwe@Matthew:22:38 @ This is the first and greatest law.

bwe@Matthew:22:45 @ David calls Christ his Lord. How can Christ be Davids son?

bwe@Matthew:23:1 @ Then Jesus talked to the people and to his disciples.

bwe@Matthew:23:20 @ So if anyone makes a promise by Gods altar, he makes his promise by it and by all that is on it.

bwe@Matthew:23:21 @ If anyone makes a promise by the temple, he makes his promise by the temple and by God who lives in the temple.

bwe@Matthew:23:22 @ If anyone makes a promise by heaven, he makes his promise by Gods big chair called a throne and by God who sits on the throne.

bwe@Matthew:23:39 @ I tell you this. You will not see me again until the time when you say, "God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord."

bwe@Matthew:24:1 @ Jesus left the temple and was going away. His disciples came to him. They wanted to show him the different buildings that were a part of the temple.

bwe@Matthew:24:3 @ Jesus was sitting on the hill called the Mount of Olives. The disciples came to him alone. They said, Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign to show you are coming and that it is the end of this world?

bwe@Matthew:24:14 @ This good news about the kingdom will be told in all the world. The people in all countries must know about it. And then the end will come.

bwe@Matthew:24:15 @ Daniel the prophet said that people would put something very bad in the temple. (Let the one who reads this understand it.)

bwe@Matthew:24:18 @ A person who is working in the fields must not go back home to get his coat.

bwe@Matthew:24:22 @ No person would be saved if the Lord did not cut the time of trouble shorter. He will cut it shorter for the sake of his chosen people.

bwe@Matthew:24:31 @ He will send his angels to call with a loud trumpet or horn. They will gather his chosen people from everywhere all over the earth.

bwe@Matthew:24:38 @ In the days before the water covered the earth, people ate and drank. They married and gave their daughters to be married. Then one day Noah went into his house built on a boat.

bwe@Matthew:24:43 @ And remember this. The owner of the house does not know at what time of the night a man will come to steal something. If he knew, he would watch and not let the man break into his house.

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:24:46 @ The servant who is doing this when his master comes, will be blessed.

bwe@Matthew:24:47 @ I tell you the truth. His master will put him in charge of all that he has.

bwe@Matthew:25:1 @ Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten young women took their lamps and went to meet a man who was being married.

bwe@Matthew:25:14 @ The kingdom of heaven will be like the time a man went to a country far away. He called his servants and put them in charge of his money.

bwe@Matthew:25:18 @ But the man who had only one bag of money dug a hole in the ground. And he hid his masters money in the ground.

bwe@Matthew:25:19 @ After a long time, the master of those servants came home. He asked what they had done with his money.

bwe@Matthew:25:20 @ The servant who had been given five bags of money brought five bags more to his master. He said, "Sir, you gave me five bags of money. See, I have made five bags more money."

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:25:22 @ The servant who had been given two bags of money came and said to his master, "Sir, you gave me two bags of money. I have made two bags more money."

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:25:26 @ His master answered him, "You are a bad and lazy servant. You knew that I cut grain where I did not plant. You knew that I pick fruit where I put nothing in.

bwe@Matthew:25:30 @ Take this good-for-nothing servant! Put him out in the dark place outside. People there will cry and make a noise with their teeth."

bwe@Matthew:25:31 @ The Son of Man will be great and will come with all his holy angels. Then he will sit on his throne like a king.

bwe@Matthew:25:33 @ The Son of Man will put people who are like the sheep at his right side. He will put people who are like the goats at his left side.

bwe@Matthew:25:34 @ Then the King will say to those who are at his right side, "Come! My Father has blessed you. The kingdom was made ready for you when the world was first made. Come into it now.

bwe@Matthew:25:41 @ Then he will say to those at the left side "Go away from me. You are cursed. Go into the fire that burns for ever. That fire has been made ready for the devil and his angels.

bwe@Matthew:26:1 @ When Jesus had finished telling all these things, he talked to his disciples.

bwe@Matthew:26:2 @ He said, You know that after two days it will be time for the Passover Feast. The Son of Man will be given over to his enemies to be nailed to a cross.

bwe@Matthew:26:3 @ Then at that time the chief priests and the leaders of the people met together in the house of the high priest. His name was Caiaphas.

bwe@Matthew:26:8 @ When the disciples saw this, they were angry. They said, Why was the oil wasted like that?

bwe@Matthew:26:23 @ Jesus answered them, The man who is putting his hand in the dish with me is the one who will give me over.

bwe@Matthew:26:26 @ As they were eating, Jesus took some bread. He thanked God for it and broke it. He gave it to the disciples and said, Take this bread and eat it. It is my body.

bwe@Matthew:26:27 @ He also took a cup. He thanked God for it. Then he gave it to the disciples and said, All of you drink from this.

bwe@Matthew:26:28 @ This is my blood. My blood is the blood of the new agreement. It is given so that many people will be forgiven for the wrong things they did.

bwe@Matthew:26:29 @ I tell you this. I will not drink any of the juice of the fruit of the vine again, until I drink some of it new with you in my Fathers kingdom.

bwe@Matthew:26:31 @ Then Jesus said to them, All of you will leave me this night. The holy writings say, "I will kill the one who takes care of the sheep. And the sheep will run away."

bwe@Matthew:26:34 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. This night, before the cock calls, you will say three times that you do not know me.

bwe@Matthew:26:36 @ Then Jesus came to a place called Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, Sit down here. I will go over there and talk with God.

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:26:42 @ Jesus went away again. He talked to God and said, My Father, if you do not want this cup to pass by me, but you want me to drink it, I will do what you want.

bwe@Matthew:26:45 @ Then he went back to his disciples and said to them, Are you still sleeping and resting? The time has come now. The Son of Man is given over to bad people.

bwe@Matthew:26:47 @ As Jesus was saying this, Judas came. He was one of the twelve disciples. Many people came with him. They had long knives or swords and big sticks. The chief priests and the leaders of the people had sent them.

bwe@Matthew:26:51 @ One of the men who was with Jesus took his sword in his hand. He hit the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.

bwe@Matthew:26:54 @ But then, how would Gods word come true? The holy writings say that this is the way it must be.

bwe@Matthew:26:56 @ All this happened so that what the prophets said in the holy writings would come true. Then all the disciples left Jesus and ran away.

bwe@Matthew:26:57 @ The men who caught Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the high priest. The scribes and the leaders had met at his house.

bwe@Matthew:26:58 @ Peter followed Jesus a long way behind. He went as far as the yard of the high priests house. He sat down with the people who worked for the high priest. He wanted to see how this would end.

bwe@Matthew:26:61 @ They said, This man said, "I can break down Gods temple and build it again in three days."

bwe@Matthew:26:62 @ The high priest stood up. He said to Jesus, Have you no answer? What do you have to say about this? They have said something against you.

bwe@Matthew:26:64 @ Jesus answered him, Yes, I am. Also I tell you that after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the One who has all power. You will see him coming on the clouds in the sky!

bwe@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, What he has said is wrong! We do not need any more proof against him. You have heard the wrong thing he said.

bwe@Matthew:26:71 @ Peter went out to the gate. There, another servant-girl saw him. She said to the others around there, This man was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

bwe@Matthew:27:6 @ The chief priests took the money. They said, It is not right to put this money in the money box of the temple. It has been used to buy a mans death.

bwe@Matthew:27:14 @ But Jesus did not answer him, not even one word. Pilate was very much surprised about this.

bwe@Matthew:27:19 @ While Pilate was sitting in the court to judge the case, his wife sent a message to him. She said, Do nothing to that good man. I have been troubled very much in a dream about him today.

bwe@Matthew:27:24 @ Pilate saw that he was not doing any good. And the people were making a lot of loud noise. So he washed his hands in water in front of the people. Then he said, I will not say this man must be killed. You must do that.

bwe@Matthew:27:28 @ They took off his clothes, and they put a red gown on him.

bwe@Matthew:27:29 @ They made a big ring of thorns like a crown and put it on his head. They put a stick in his right hand. Then they kneeled down in front of him and made fun of him. They shouted, Greetings, King of the Jews!

bwe@Matthew:27:31 @ After they had made fun of him, they took off the red gown. They put his own clothes on him. Then they took him away to nail him to a cross.

bwe@Matthew:27:37 @ They put the complaint against Jesus above his head. These words were written there: This is Jesus the King of the Jews.

bwe@Matthew:27:47 @ Some of the people standing there heard what Jesus said. They said This man is calling for Elijah.

bwe@Matthew:27:54 @ The Roman captain and some of his soldiers were guarding Jesus on the cross. When they saw the earth shake and the other things happen, they were very much afraid. They said, Surely this man was Gods Son.

bwe@Matthew:27:60 @ He put the body in his own new grave which had been cut in a rock. He rolled a very big stone to close the grave. Then he went away.

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:27:66 @ So they went and shut the grave tight. They put a government mark on the big stone. And the soldiers stayed to guard it. This was to make sure the grave would stay shut.

bwe@Matthew:28:3 @ His face shone like lightning. His clothes were as white as snow.

bwe@Matthew:28:7 @ Go quickly and tell his disciples, "He has risen from death. He is going to Galilee before you. You will see him there." Now, I have told you.

bwe@Matthew:28:8 @ The women went quickly away. They left the grave with fear and they were very happy. They ran to tell his disciples.

bwe@Matthew:28:9 @ As they were going, Jesus met them. He said Greetings! The women bowed down in front of him and put their hands on his feet.

bwe@Matthew:28:13 @ They said, Tell the people, "His disciples came by night and took away the body while we were sleeping."

bwe@Matthew:28:14 @ If the ruler hears about this, then we will talk to him so that he will not punish you.

bwe@Matthew:28:15 @ The soldiers took the money. They did as they were told to do. And even to this day, many of the Jewish leaders say this is what happened to Jesus.

bwe@Mark:1:1 @ This is the beginning of the good news about Jesus Christ, Gods Son.

bwe@Mark:1:2 @ The men of God, called prophets, long ago wrote about it this way: God said, See, I send my man ahead of you to tell about you. He will make the way ready for you.

bwe@Mark:1:7 @ He told the people, Another person is coming. He is greater than I am. I am not good enough to bend down and untie his shoe strings.

bwe@Mark:1:16 @ Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee. There he saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a fishing net into the water. Their work was to catch fish.

bwe@Mark:1:19 @ Jesus went on from there and saw James and his brother John. Their fathers name was Zebedee. They were in a boat mending their nets.

bwe@Mark:1:22 @ They were very much surprised at his teaching because he taught them as if he had the right to teach them. He did not teach them like their teachers called scribes.

bwe@Mark:1:27 @ The people were all surprised. They said one to another, What is this? Is not this a new teaching? He tells the bad spirits what to do and even they obey him

bwe@Mark:1:36 @ Simon and his friends went out after Jesus.

bwe@Mark:1:41 @ Jesus was very sorry for him. He put out his hand and touched him. He said, I want to. Be healed.

bwe@Mark:1:42 @ As soon as he said this, the disease left the man and he was healed.

bwe@Mark:1:44 @ He said, Do not tell anyone about this. But go and let the priest look at you. Moses gave a law about the gift you must give to God when you are healed. Give it to prove to people that you are healed.

bwe@Mark:1:45 @ But the man went out and told everyone everywhere what had happened to him. Because he did this, Jesus could not go into any large town freely. He stayed in places where only a few people were. There people came to him from everywhere.

bwe@Mark:2:3 @ Four men brought a sick man to Jesus. The man could not move his arms or legs.

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:2:8 @ Jesus understood in his spirit what the scribes were thinking. He said right away, Why do you think these wrong things in your hearts?

bwe@Mark:2:12 @ Right away the man stood up in front of them. He took up his mat and went home. They were all very much surprised, and they praised God. They said, We have never seen anything like this before.

bwe@Mark:2:15 @ Jesus was eating in Levis house. Many tax collectors and bad people also came. They sat down to eat with Jesus and his disciples. There were many who went with him.

bwe@Mark:2:23 @ Jesus was walking through the grainfields on the Sabbath day. His disciples began to pick some of the seed (to eat) as they went along.

bwe@Mark:2:25 @ Jesus answered them, Have you not read what David did? He and his men who were with him were hungry.

bwe@Mark:3:8 @ Jesus and his disciples went away to the sea of Galilee. Many people went with Jesus. They came from Galilee, Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and from the other side of the Jordan River. And many more people came also, a great many from around the cities of Tyre and Sidon. They also had heard about the great works that Jesus had done.

bwe@Mark:3:10 @ He did this because he healed many people. All who were sick tried to touch him.

bwe@Mark:3:17 @ He also chose James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee, whom he named Boanerges, which means "Men of Thunder."

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:3:21 @ When Jesus family heard about this, they came to take him away. They said, He is crazy.

bwe@Mark:3:22 @ The scribes who came from Jerusalem also talked about Jesus. They said, Beelzebub, the chief of bad spirits, is in this man. He drives out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub.

bwe@Mark:3:27 @ 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:3:30 @ Jesus said all this because the scribes said, A bad spirit is in him.

bwe@Mark:4:13 @ Jesus said also, Do you not understand this story? How then are you going to understand all the stories?

bwe@Mark:4:19 @ But they think about the things of this world. They want to get money and other things to be happy. These things push the message out of their hearts. No good comes from it.

bwe@Mark:4:26 @ And Jesus said, The kingdom of God is like this. A man sows some seed in the ground.

bwe@Mark:4:31 @ It is like this. A mustard seed is the smallest seed that is ever planted in the earth.

bwe@Mark:4:33 @ Jesus told the people many stories like this. He told them as much of Gods words as they were able to understand.

bwe@Mark:4:34 @ He did not tell them anything without a story. When he was alone with his disciples, he told them the meaning of the stories.

bwe@Mark:4:35 @ In the evening of that day, Jesus said to his disciples, Let us cross over to the other side of the sea.

bwe@Mark:4:38 @ Jesus was in the back end of the boat, sleeping with his head on a pillow. The disciples woke him up. Master, they shouted. We will die! Do you not care?

bwe@Mark:4:41 @ The disciples were surprised. They said to each other, What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the sea obey him.

bwe@Mark:5:8 @ He said this because Jesus had said to him, You bad spirit, come out of the man.

bwe@Mark:5:22 @ One of the rulers of the meeting house came to him. His name was Jairus. When he saw Jesus, he kneeled down before him.

bwe@Mark:5:27 @ When she heard of Jesus, she came among the people behind him. Then she reached out and touched his clothes.

bwe@Mark:5:28 @ She said to herself, If only I touch his clothes, I will be well.

bwe@Mark:5:31 @ But his disciples said to him, You see all these people pushing around you. Why do you ask, "Who touched me?"

bwe@Mark:5:37 @ Jesus did not let anyone go with him only Peter, James, and his brother John.

bwe@Mark:5:43 @ Jesus said, Do not tell anyone about this. Give the girl something to eat.

bwe@Mark:6:1 @ Jesus left that place and went back to his home town. His disciples went with him.

bwe@Mark:6:2 @ On the Sabbath day he began to teach in the meeting house again. Many people who heard him were very much surprised and said, Where did he learn all this? Where did he get the power to do these big works?

bwe@Mark:6:3 @ Is he not the carpenter? Is not Mary his mother? Are not James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon his brothers? Are not his sisters here with us? The people did not understand Jesus.

bwe@Mark:6:4 @ Jesus said to them, Other people honour a man who is a prophet of God. But the people in his own country, his own home, and his family, do not honour him.

bwe@Mark:6:5 @ Jesus could not do any big works in that place. But he put his hands on a few sick people and healed them.

bwe@Mark:6:17 @ Herod had sent his people to catch John. They tied him and put him in prison to please Herodias. Herod had married her, but she was his brother Philips wife.

bwe@Mark:6:20 @ So Herodias hated John. She wanted to kill him. But she could not because Herod liked John. He knew that John did what was right and was a good man. So he kept John safe. When he heard John speak he was troubled in his heart, and yet he was glad to hear him.

bwe@Mark:6:21 @ rod made a feast on his birthday. He called all his rulers and the captains and the leaders of Galilee to come to the feast.

bwe@Mark:6:22 @ The daughter of Herodias came in and danced for them. This pleased Herod and the people at the feast. Then the king said to the girl, Ask me for anything you want and I will give it to you.

bwe@Mark:6:29 @ When Johns disciples heard of it, they came and took his body and buried it.

bwe@Mark:6:35 @ When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him. They said, This is a lonely place and the time is late.

bwe@Mark:6:56 @ They laid sick people by the road in villages, towns, and farms and every place he went. They begged him to let them touch his clothes. And all the people who touched him were healed.

bwe@Mark:7:6 @ Jesus said to them, Isaiah spoke the truth about you people! You are not true to yourselves! He wrote about you this way: "These people respect me with their mouths. But their hearts are far from me. They do not mean it in their hearts when they worship me. Their teachings are only words of men."

bwe@Mark:7:10 @ Moses said, "Respect your father and your mother. Anyone who says wrong things to his father or his mother will die."

bwe@Mark:7:12 @ So you stop him from doing anything for his father and mother.

bwe@Mark:7:17 @ Jesus left the people and went into a house. His disciples asked him the meaning of the story.

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:7:19 @ It does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and then it goes out of the body. By saying this, Jesus meant that food does not make a person dirty.

bwe@Mark:7:28 @ Jesus said to her, Because you have said this, you may go home. The bad spirit has gone out of your daughter.

bwe@Mark:7:31 @ The people brought a man to Jesus who could not hear and could not talk well. They begged Jesus to put his hand on him.

bwe@Mark:7:32 @ So Jesus took him away alone. He put his fingers in the mans ears. Then he spat and touched the mans tongue.

bwe@Mark:7:34 @ Right away the mans ears were opened and his tongue was made free. He could talk well.

bwe@Mark:8:1 @ Again at that time many, many people came together. They had nothing to eat. Jesus called his disciples. He said,

bwe@Mark:8:4 @ His disciples answered, Where can anyone get enough food in this lonely place to feed so many people?

bwe@Mark:8:10 @ Jesus sent them away. Then right away he got in the boat with his disciples and went to the country around Dalmanutha.

bwe@Mark:8:12 @ He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, Why do people today want a sign? I tell you the truth. No sign will be given to them.

bwe@Mark:8:23 @ Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. He spat on his eyes and put his hands on him. Then he asked, Do you see anything?

bwe@Mark:8:25 @ Jesus put his hands on him again. He made him look up. Then he was healed and could see everybody clearly.

bwe@Mark:8:26 @ Jesus sent the man away to his home. Do not go into the village and do not tell it to anyone, he said.

bwe@Mark:8:27 @ Jesus went with his disciples to the villages in Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, Who do people say that I am?

bwe@Mark:8:32 @ Jesus said this very plainly. Peter took him to one side and began to tell him not to say such things.

bwe@Mark:8:34 @ Jesus called the people and the disciples to him. He said, If anyone wants to come with me he must leave what he himself wants to do. He must be ready to carry his own cross and come with me.

bwe@Mark:8:35 @ Anyone who tries to keep his life will lose it. And anyone who gives up his life for my sake and for the sake of the good news will find it.

bwe@Mark:8:36 @ What good will it do a man if he gets the whole world for himself but loses his soul?

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:9:2 @ Six days after this, Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him. He led them up a hill by themselves. Jesus was changed in front of them.

bwe@Mark:9:3 @ His clothes were white like light. No person on earth could make them so white.

bwe@Mark:9:5 @ Then Peter said to Jesus, Master, this is a good place for us. We will make three places, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

bwe@Mark:9:7 @ Then a cloud came over them. A voice in the cloud said, This is my dear Son. Listen to him.

bwe@Mark:9:16 @ Jesus asked his disciples, What are you talking about with them?

bwe@Mark:9:18 @ Wherever it takes hold of him, it throws him around. It makes him foam at his mouth. It makes him make noises with his teeth. He is getting weak and thin. I asked your disciples to drive the bad spirit out, but they could not do it.

bwe@Mark:9:20 @ So they brought the boy to him. As soon as the bad spirit saw him, he threw the boy around. The boy fell on the ground and rolled around. Foam was coming from his mouth.

bwe@Mark:9:21 @ Jesus asked the father, How long has he had this spirit? He answered, Since he was a child.

bwe@Mark:9:24 @ Right away the father of the child, with tears in his eyes, said loudly, I do believe! Help me to believe more!

bwe@Mark:9:27 @ But Jesus took his hand and helped him to get up. The boy stood up.

bwe@Mark:9:28 @ Jesus went into the house. His disciples were alone with him. They asked him, Why could we not drive out the bad spirit?

bwe@Mark:9:29 @ Jesus said to them, This kind of bad spirit does not come out unless people talk to God and fast.

bwe@Mark:9:31 @ He taught his disciples. He said to them, The Son of Man will be given over to men. They will kill him. When he is killed, he will rise after three days.

bwe@Mark:9:36 @ Jesus took a child and had him stand in front of them. Then he took the child in his arms and said,

bwe@Mark:9:37 @ If anyone takes in a child like this for my sake, he takes in me. If anyone takes in me, he takes in the One who sent me.

bwe@Mark:9:41 @ I tell you the truth. If anyone gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, he will not lose his reward

bwe@Mark:9:42 @ These little children believe in me. If anyone makes one of them do wrong, he will be punished. He will have worse trouble than if a big stone were tied to his neck and he were thrown into the deep sea.

bwe@Mark:10:2 @ The Pharisees came to him and asked, Is it right for a man to send his wife away from him? They asked this to test Jesus.

bwe@Mark:10:7 @ That is why a man must leave his father and mother and stay with his wife.

bwe@Mark:10:10 @ When they were in the house, the disciples asked Jesus about this matter.

bwe@Mark:10:11 @ So Jesus said, If any man sends away his wife and marries another woman, he commits adultery against her. <FI>He takes another woman who is not his wife.<Fi>

bwe@Mark:10:13 @ They brought children to Jesus. They wanted him to put his hands on them. The disciples tried to stop the people.

bwe@Mark:10:16 @ Jesus took the children up in his arms. He put his hands on them and blessed them.

bwe@Mark:10:23 @ Then Jesus looked around at his disciples and said to them, It is very hard for rich people to enter the kingdom of God.

bwe@Mark:10:24 @ The disciples were surprised at his words. But Jesus said again, Children, it is very hard for people who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God.

bwe@Mark:10:30 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. If any man has left his house, or his brothers, or his sisters, his mother, or his father, or his children, or farms, for my sake and for the sake of the good news, he will receive his pay in this life. He will have a hundred times as many houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and farms. He will have trouble also. But in the next world he will live for ever.

bwe@Mark:10:32 @ Jesus and his disciples were on the road to Jerusalem. Jesus was walking in front of them. The disciples were surprised. And the people who came behind were afraid. He took the twelve disciples and began to tell them what was going to happen to him.

bwe@Mark:10:45 @ The Son of Man did not come to have others help him. But he came to help others. He came to give his life to make many people free.

bwe@Mark:10:46 @ Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples left Jericho, many people followed him. A blind man named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road. He was begging for money.

bwe@Mark:10:50 @ The man threw off his coat, jumped up, and went to Jesus.

bwe@Mark:11:1 @ They came to Bethphage and Bethany, near Jerusalem by the hill called Olives. Then he sent two of his disciples ahead.

bwe@Mark:11:3 @ If anyone asks you, "Why are you doing this?" tell him, "The Lord needs it. He will send it back soon."

bwe@Mark:11:14 @ Jesus said to the tree, No one will ever eat a fig from you again! His disciples heard what he said.

bwe@Mark:11:18 @ The chief priests and scribes heard what he said. They wanted to find some way to kill him. They feared Jesus because all the people were surprised at his teaching.

bwe@Mark:11:19 @ In the evening Jesus and his disciples went out of the city.

bwe@Mark:11:23 @ I tell you the truth. Anyone may say to this hill, "Go and jump into the sea." He must not doubt in his heart, but he must believe that he will have the things he asks for and he will have them.

bwe@Mark:12:2 @ At harvest time the owner sent one his servants to get some of the fruit from the farm.

bwe@Mark:12:4 @ He sent another servant. They hurt this one also, and cut his head. The things they did to him were very wrong.

bwe@Mark:12:6 @ There was one left. He was his own son. He sent him last. He said, "They will respect my son."

bwe@Mark:12:7 @ But the men said to each other, "This is the one who will have everything when his father dies. Let us kill him. Then everything will belong to us."

bwe@Mark:12:8 @ They killed him and threw his body outside the farm.

bwe@Mark:12:10 @ Have you not read this writing: "The stone which the builders would not use is now the chief stone of the corner. The Lord did this. It looks wonderful to us."?

bwe@Mark:12:12 @ They tried to catch Jesus but they feared the people. They knew that Jesus had spoken this against them. So they left him and went away.

bwe@Mark:12:16 @ They brought one to him. He asked, Whose picture and name is this? They answered, Caesars.

bwe@Mark:12:19 @ Teacher, they said, Moses gave us this law: if a man dies and leaves a wife but no children, then his brother must marry the wife and raise a family for his brother.

bwe@Mark:12:31 @ The second law is this: "Love your neighbour as you love yourself." No law is greater than these laws.

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:12:43 @ Jesus called his disciples. He said, I tell you the truth. This poor woman has given more money than all the other people.

bwe@Mark:13:1 @ When Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said, Look Master, see those big stones and the wonderful houses!

bwe@Mark:13:4 @ They said, Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign when these things are going to be done?

bwe@Mark:13:12 @ A brother will take his brother to be killed. A father will take his child. The children will talk against their father and mother and have them killed.

bwe@Mark:13:14 @ Daniel the Man of God said that people would put something very bad in the temple. (Let the one who reads this understand it.) When that happens, the people in Judea must go quickly to the hills.

bwe@Mark:13:20 @ No person would be saved if the Lord did not make the time of trouble shorter. He will make it shorter for the sake of his chosen people.

bwe@Mark:13:27 @ He will send out the angels to gather his chosen people. They will gather them from everywhere all over the earth.

bwe@Mark:13:34 @ It is like a man who went to a country far away. He left his home and told each one of his servants what work he must do. Then he told the man who guards the door to watch.

bwe@Mark:13:37 @ What I say to you I say to everybody, and this is "Watch".

bwe@Mark:14:4 @ Some people there were angry. They said, Why was this oil wasted like that?

bwe@Mark:14:5 @ The oil might have been sold for a lot of money. Then the money could have been given to poor people. They said to the woman, You should not have done this!

bwe@Mark:14:12 @ It was the first day of the feast with bread that has no yeast in it. The sheep had to be killed for the Passover Feast. His disciples asked Jesus Where do you want us to make ready for you to eat the Passover Feast?

bwe@Mark:14:13 @ He sent two of his disciples and said to them, Go into the city. There you will meet a man who is carrying a pot of water. Follow him.

bwe@Mark:14:20 @ Jesus answered them, It is one of you twelve. It is the one who puts his hand in the same dish with me.

bwe@Mark:14:22 @ As they were eating, Jesus took some bread. He thanked God for it and broke it. Then he gave it to the disciples and said, Take this bread and eat it. It is my body.

bwe@Mark:14:24 @ Then he said to them, This is my blood. It is given for many people. It makes the agreement strong.

bwe@Mark:14:27 @ Jesus said to them, All of you will leave me this night. the holy writings say, "I will kill the one who takes care of the sheep. And the sheep will run away."

bwe@Mark:14:30 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. This very night, before the cock calls two times, you will say three times that you do not know me.

bwe@Mark:14:32 @ Then they came to a place called Gethsemane. Jesus said to his disciples, Sit here. I will go and talk with God.

bwe@Mark:14:35 @ Jesus went on a little farther. He fell on the ground and asked God that, if it could be so, this big trouble might pass by him.

bwe@Mark:14:36 @ He said, Oh, my Father, you can do all things. Take this cup away from me. But do not do what I want, but what you want.

bwe@Mark:14:38 @ 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:14:43 @ While he was saying this, Judas came. He was one of the twelve disciples. Many people came with him. They had long knives or swords and big sticks. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders had sent them.

bwe@Mark:14:47 @ One of the men standing by took his sword. He cut off the ear of the high priests servant.

bwe@Mark:14:56 @ Many people came and said things that were not true. But one said this thing and the other said that thing.

bwe@Mark:14:58 @ They said, We heard him say, "I will break down this temple which people have built with hands. In three days I will build another temple but not with hands."

bwe@Mark:14:60 @ The high priest stood up among the people and asked Jesus, Have you no answer? What do you have to say about this? They have said something against you.

bwe@Mark:14:63 @ Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, We do not need any more proof against him.

bwe@Mark:14:65 @ Some people began to spit on him. They covered his face and hit him. They laughed at him and said, Tell us if you know who hit you! The guards took him away and hit him as they went.

bwe@Mark:14:69 @ A girl saw Peter there and said to the other people standing by, This man is one of them.

bwe@Mark:14:71 @ Then Peter began to curse and say bad words. He said, I do not know this man you are talking about!

bwe@Mark:15:5 @ But Jesus said nothing. Pilate was very much surprised about this.

bwe@Mark:15:17 @ They put a red gown on Jesus. They made a big ring of thorns like a crown and put it on his head.

bwe@Mark:15:20 @ When they had made fun of him, they took off the red gown and put his own clothes on him again. Then they took Jesus out of the city to nail him to a cross.

bwe@Mark:15:21 @ man was coming in from the farms. His name was Simon. He was born in the country of Cyrene. Alexander and Rufus were his sons. The soldiers caught Simon and made him carry Jesus cross.

bwe@Mark:15:39 @ The captain who stood in front of Jesus saw that he died. He said, Surely, this man was Gods Son.

bwe@Mark:16:7 @ Go and tell his disciples and Peter. Tell them he is going to Galilee before you. You will see him there as he said to you.

bwe@Mark:16:12 @ After this, Jesus came to two disciples. He looked like a different person. They were walking out in the country.

bwe@Luke:1:8 @ Zechariah was doing his work one day as a priest to God. It was time for his group to do the work in the temple.

bwe@Luke:1:9 @ The priests had a certain way of dividing their work. This day it was Zechariahs turn to go into the temple of the Lord and burn the incense <FI>that smells sweet when it is burned<Fi>.

bwe@Luke:1:10 @ All the people were talking to God outside the temple at this time.

bwe@Luke:1:18 @ Then Zechariah said to the angel, How can I know that this will happen? I am an old man and my wife is also old.

bwe@Luke:1:19 @ The angel answered him, I am Gabriel and I stand before God. I have been sent to talk to you and to bring you this good news.

bwe@Luke:1:20 @ Now listen. You will be silent and not be able to talk until the day that all this has happened. This is because you did not believe what I told you. At the right time all that I said will come true.

bwe@Luke:1:22 @ When he came out, he could not talk to them. They knew that he had seen something in the temple. He made signs to them with his hands and did not talk.

bwe@Luke:1:23 @ When his time for doing the work of a priest was finished, Zechariah went home.

bwe@Luke:1:24 @ After that, his wife Elizabeth found she was going to have a baby. For five months she stayed away from people.

bwe@Luke:1:25 @ She said to herself, The Lord has done this for me. At this time he has remembered me so that I need not be ashamed among people anymore.

bwe@Luke:1:27 @ The angel was sent to a young woman there. Her name was Mary. She was promised to a man named Joseph, to be his wife. He was of Davids family line.

bwe@Luke:1:29 @ What the angel said troubled Mary. She wondered what this greeting meant.

bwe@Luke:1:32 @ He will be a great man. He will be called the Son of the Highest One <FI>a name for God<Fi>. The Lord God will make him king where his father David was king.

bwe@Luke:1:34 @ Then Mary said to the angel, How can this happen? I have no husband.

bwe@Luke:1:36 @ Your cousin Elizabeth is also going to have a baby son, though she is an old woman. This is the sixth month for her. She is one whom people said would not have a baby.

bwe@Luke:1:48 @ He has remembered his servant even though she is not a great person. From now on all people of all times will say God has blessed me.

bwe@Luke:1:49 @ He who has all power has done a big work for me. His name is holy.

bwe@Luke:1:51 @ He has shown how strong he is with his arm. He has taken away people who were proud in their hearts.

bwe@Luke:1:54 @ He has helped his servant Israel.

bwe@Luke:1:55 @ He has remembered to be kind just as he said to our fathers of long ago. He promised to be kind to Abraham and his childrens children for ever.

bwe@Luke:1:59 @ On the eighth day people came to circumcise <FI>make a special mark on<Fi> the child. They were going to name him Zechariah like his father.

bwe@Luke:1:60 @ But his mother said, No, his name is to be John.

bwe@Luke:1:63 @ He asked for something to write on. He wrote, His name is John. They were all surprised.

bwe@Luke:1:64 @ Right then he opened his mouth and his tongue was free. He began to speak and to praise God.

bwe@Luke:1:66 @ All those who heard them thought much about them. They said, What will this child be some day? They said this because the power of the Lord was with him.

bwe@Luke:1:67 @ Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke words from God.

bwe@Luke:1:68 @ He said, Praise the Lord God of Israel! He has remembered his people, and set them free.

bwe@Luke:1:69 @ He has chosen one from the family of his servant David. He has given him power to save us.

bwe@Luke:1:70 @ That is what he promised through his holy prophets of God long ago.

bwe@Luke:1:72 @ He said he would be kind to our fathers. He said he would remember his agreement with them.

bwe@Luke:1:76 @ You, my child, will be called the prophet or messenger of the Highest One. You will go ahead of the Lord to make his way ready.

bwe@Luke:1:77 @ You will tell his people how to be saved by being forgiven for their wrong ways.

bwe@Luke:2:2 @ This was the first time names were written in a book in this way. Quirinius was the ruler of Syria at that time.

bwe@Luke:2:3 @ Everyone went to his home town to have his name written in the book.

bwe@Luke:2:4 @ Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to the town of Bethlehem in Judea. This was Davids town, and Joseph came from Davids family line.

bwe@Luke:2:5 @ He went to have his name written in the book. Joseph took Mary with him. She was promised to Joseph to be his wife. She was going to have a baby.

bwe@Luke:2:7 @ This was her first child, a son. She wrapped him in a cloth and laid him in a box where cows feed. There was no room for them in the house for strangers.

bwe@Luke:2:10 @ The angel said to them, Fear not! Listen, I bring you good news! This news will make you very glad. It is for all people.

bwe@Luke:2:12 @ This is the way you will know him. You will find a baby wrapped in a cloth, lying in a box where cows feed.

bwe@Luke:2:23 @ This is what is written in the law of the Lord: Every boy who is the first child of his mother will be holy for the Lord.

bwe@Luke:2:28 @ Then Simeon took Jesus in his arms and praised God.

bwe@Luke:2:31 @ You have made this way for all peoples to be saved.

bwe@Luke:2:41 @ Every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the Passover Feast <FI>a special time to thank God<Fi>.

bwe@Luke:2:43 @ After the days of the feast were finished, they started home. But the boy Jesus stayed in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it.

bwe@Luke:2:47 @ All who heard him were surprised at what he knew and his answers.

bwe@Luke:2:48 @ His parents were surprised when they saw him. His mother said to him, Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been looking for you. We have been very troubled.

bwe@Luke:2:51 @ He went with them back to Nazareth and obeyed them. But his mother remembered all these things.

bwe@Luke:3:4 @ Isaiah, the prophet of God, wrote about him long ago in his book: A man is calling out in the desert: "Make the way ready for the Lord. Make the road straight for him.

bwe@Luke:3:16 @ John said to them all, I baptise you with water. But another person is coming. He is greater than I am. I am not good enough to untie his shoe strings. He will baptise you with the Holy spirit and with fire.

bwe@Luke:3:17 @ He has a cleaning fan in his hand and will fan his grain very clean. He will put the grain into his storehouse. But he will burn the chaff in the fire that never goes out.

bwe@Luke:3:19 @ John told Herod the ruler that he had done wrong things. He told him he should not have his brothers wife, Herodias. He also told him about all the other wrong things he had done.

bwe@Luke:3:23 @ Jesus was about thirty years old when he began his work. The people thought he was Josephs son. Here are the names of Jesus family line: Joseph, Heli, Matthat, Levi, Melchi, Janna, Joseph, Mattathiah, Amos, Nahum, Esli, Naggai, Maath, Mattathiah, Semei, Joseph, Judah, Joannas, Rhesa, Zerubbabel, Shealtiel, Neri, Melchi, Addi, Cosam, Elmodam, Er, Jose, Eliezer, Jorim, Matthat, Levi, Simeon, Judah, Joseph, Jonan, Eliakim, Melea, Menen, Mattathah, Nathan, David, Jesse, Obed, Boaz, Salmon, Nahshon, Amminadab, Ram, Hezron, Perez, Judah, Jacob, Isaac, Abraham, Terah, Nahor, Serug, Reu, Peleg, Eber, Shelah, Cainan, Arphaxad, Shem, Noah, Lamech, Methuselah, Enoch, Jared, Mahalalel, Cainan, Enosh, Seth, Adam. Adam came from God.

bwe@Luke:4:3 @ The devil said to him, If you are Gods Son, tell this stone to be changed into bread.

bwe@Luke:4:6 @ He said to Jesus, I will give you the right to rule over all these countries. They will make you great. All this has been given to me. I can give it to anyone I want.

bwe@Luke:4:10 @ The holy writings say, "God will tell his angels to take care of you."

bwe@Luke:4:13 @ When the devil finished all his testing, he left him for a while.

bwe@Luke:4:22 @ They all began to talk about him. They were surprised to hear him say such good words. They asked, Is not this Josephs son?

bwe@Luke:4:23 @ Then Jesus said, I know that you will say this to me "Doctor, heal yourself. We have heard what you did in Capernaum. Do the same things here in your own country."

bwe@Luke:4:24 @ And he went on to say, I tell you the truth. No prophet of God is accepted by the people in his own country.

bwe@Luke:4:28 @ When they heard this, all the people in the meeting house were very angry.

bwe@Luke:4:32 @ They were surprised at his teaching because he taught them as if he had the right to teach them.

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:4:40 @ When the sun went down, the people brought to Jesus all who were sick in any way. He put his hands on every one of them and healed them.

bwe@Luke:4:43 @ But he said to them, I must tell the good news to the people in other towns also. It is the news of Gods kingdom. I was sent to tell this.

bwe@Luke:5:6 @ When they did this, they caught many fish. Their nets were so full they were breaking.

bwe@Luke:5:8 @ When Simon Peter saw this, he kneeled down in front of Jesus. He said, Lord, leave me because I am a bad man!

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:5:13 @ Jesus put out his hand and touched the man. He said, I want you to be healed. Right away the man was free from leprosy.

bwe@Luke:5:14 @ Jesus said to him, Do not tell anyone about this. But go and let the priest look at you. Moses gave a law about the sacrifice you must give when you are healed. Give it to prove to the people that you are healed.

bwe@Luke:5:18 @ Some men brought a sick man on his bed. The man could not move his arms or legs. They tried to bring him in and put him in front of Jesus.

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:5:25 @ Right away the man stood up in front of them. He took up his bed and went home praising God.

bwe@Luke:5:27 @ After this, Jesus went out. He saw a tax collector named Levi. Levi was sitting at the place where people came to pay taxes. Jesus said to him Come with me.

bwe@Luke:5:29 @ Levi made a big dinner at his house for Jesus. Many tax collectors and other people were sitting at the table with them.

bwe@Luke:6:1 @ Jesus was walking through the grain fields on a Sabbath day. His disciples picked some of the grain as they went along. They cleaned it by rubbing it in their hands, and ate it.

bwe@Luke:6:3 @ Jesus answered them, Have you not read what David did? He and his men were hungry.

bwe@Luke:6:13 @ In the morning he called his disciples to him. He chose twelve of them and called them apostles <FI>special messengers<Fi>.

bwe@Luke:6:14 @ They were Simon, whom Jesus called Peter, and his brother Andrew, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the freedom fighter, Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, the one who gave Jesus over to people who hated him.

bwe@Luke:6:17 @ Then Jesus came down the hill with them and stood on the flat ground. Many people came. There were many of his disciples. And there were many people from all parts of Judea, and from Jerusalem, and from the seaside of Tyre and Sidon. They came to hear him and to be healed because they were sick.

bwe@Luke:6:20 @ Jesus looked at his disciples and said, God will make happy you who are poor. The kingdom of God is for you.

bwe@Luke:6:40 @ The one who learns is not better than his teacher. But every one who learns will be like his teacher when his teacher has finished teaching him.

bwe@Luke:6:45 @ A good man has stored up good things in his heart, so he says good things. A bad man has stored up wrong things in his heart, so he will say wrong things. The mouth will say what is in the heart.

bwe@Luke:6:49 @ A man hears what I say but does not obey me. He is like a man who built his house on top of the ground. He did not dig down deep. The water beat hard against it and it fell with a loud noise!

bwe@Luke:7:3 @ The officer heard of Jesus. So he sent some of the leaders of the Jews to him. He asked him to come and heal his servant.

bwe@Luke:7:4 @ They came to Jesus and begged him very much. They said, He is a good man. You should come and do this for him.

bwe@Luke:7:8 @ I myself am a man who takes orders, and I have soldiers who take orders from me. I say to one, "Go," and he goes. I say to another, "Come," and he comes. I say to my servant, "Do this," and he does it.

bwe@Luke:7:9 @ Jesus was surprised when he heard this. He turned to the people who followed him. He said, I tell you, I have not found a Jew who believes as this man does.

bwe@Luke:7:11 @ Soon after that, Jesus went to the town of Nain. His disciples and many other people went with him.

bwe@Luke:7:12 @ He came near the gate of the town. There he met people carrying out a man who had died. He was the only son of his mother. And her husband was dead too. Many people from the city were with her.

bwe@Luke:7:15 @ The dead man sat up and began to talk. Jesus gave him to his mother.

bwe@Luke:7:16 @ Everyone was very much surprised. They praised God. They said, A great prophet of God has come to us. God has remembered his people.

bwe@Luke:7:18 @ John also heard about all these things from his disciples.

bwe@Luke:7:23 @ Happy is the person who is not troubled in his heart about me.

bwe@Luke:7:34 @ The Son of Man came. He eats and drinks. You say, "This man eats and drinks too much! He is a friend of tax collectors and bad people!"

bwe@Luke:7:38 @ She stood behind Jesus by his feet, and she was crying. She began to wash his feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. Then she kissed his feet and put oil on them.

bwe@Luke:7:39 @ The Pharisee who had asked Jesus to his house saw this. He said to himself, If this man were a prophet of God, he would know what kind of woman is touching him. She is a bad woman.

bwe@Luke:7:44 @ Then he turned towards the woman. He said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me water to wash my feet. But she has washed my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

bwe@Luke:7:49 @ Then those who were at the table with him began to say to themselves, Who is this man? He even forgives people for the wrong things they have done.

bwe@Luke:8:1 @ Soon after this, Jesus went through the cities and towns. He told the people Gods word about the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve disciples were with him.

bwe@Luke:8:5 @ He said, A man went out to sow his seed. As he sowed it, some seed fell on the road. People stepped on the seed. Birds ate it.

bwe@Luke:8:8 @ But some seed fell on good ground and it grew well. Those plants gave a hundred times as much grain as the man sowed. When Jesus had said this, he called out, Everyone who has ears to hear, listen!

bwe@Luke:8:9 @ His disciples asked Jesus what this story meant.

bwe@Luke:8:14 @ Some seeds fell among the weeds. They are like people who hear the word. But they think about the things of this world. They want to get money and things to be happy in this life. As they go on in life, these things push the message out of their hearts and no good comes from them.

bwe@Luke:8:19 @ The mother of Jesus and his brothers came to him. They could not reach him because there were so many people around him.

bwe@Luke:8:22 @ One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples. He said to them, Let us cross over to the other side of the sea. So they started out.

bwe@Luke:8:25 @ He said to the disciples, Why do you not believe God? They were afraid and surprised. They said to each other, What kind of man is this? He tells the wind and the sea what to do and they obey him.

bwe@Luke:8:29 @ He said this because Jesus had told the bad spirit to come out of the man. Many times the spirit had taken hold of the man. People had guarded him. They had tied him with chains and strong ropes. But he broke the chains and ropes. The bad spirit drove him into the desert.

bwe@Luke:8:30 @ Jesus asked him, What is your name? He answered, My name is An Army. He said this because many bad spirits had gone into him.

bwe@Luke:8:41 @ A man named Jairus came to him. He was a ruler in the meeting house. He bowed down in front of Jesus and begged him to come to his house.

bwe@Luke:8:44 @ She came behind Jesus and touched his clothes. The bleeding stopped right away.

bwe@Luke:9:1 @ Jesus called his twelve disciples together. He gave them power over all the bad spirits, and power to heal sick people.

bwe@Luke:9:9 @ Herod said, I cut off Johns head. Now who is this man of whom I hear such things? He wanted to see Jesus.

bwe@Luke:9:12 @ 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:9:14 @ There were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, Tell the people to sit down in groups of fifty.

bwe@Luke:9:18 @ One day Jesus was alone talking to God. His disciples were there too. He asked them, Who do people say I am?

bwe@Luke:9:21 @ Jesus said to them, Do not tell this to anyone.

bwe@Luke:9:23 @ And He said to all the people, If anyone wants to come with me, he must leave what he himself wants to do. Every day he must take up his cross <FI>be ready to die<Fi> and come with me.

bwe@Luke:9:24 @ Anyone who tries to keep his life will lose it. And anyone who gives up his life for my sake will find it.

bwe@Luke:9:25 @ What good will it do a man if he gets the whole world for himself but loses his life or spoils it?

bwe@Luke:9:26 @ If anyone is ashamed of me and the things I say, the Son of man 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@Luke:9:29 @ As he was talking with God, he was changed. His face was different. His clothes became very white and shining.

bwe@Luke:9:31 @ Light was shining from them. They talked about his leaving this world. That would happen when he was in Jerusalem.

bwe@Luke:9:34 @ As he said this, a cloud came over them. They were very much afraid when the cloud came around them.

bwe@Luke:9:35 @ A voice in the cloud said, This is my dear Son. Listen to him!

bwe@Luke:9:39 @ A bad spirit takes hold of him and he screams. It throws him around and makes him foam at his mouth. It beats him badly and does not want to leave him.

bwe@Luke:9:42 @ While he was coming, the bad spirit knocked him down and threw him around. Jesus told the spirit to stop. He healed the boy and gave him back to his father.

bwe@Luke:9:43 @ All the people were surprised to see that God has so much power. While the people were wondering about everything Jesus did, he talked to his disciples.

bwe@Luke:9:47 @ Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he took a child and put him by his side.

bwe@Luke:9:48 @ Then he said, If anyone takes in a child like this for my sake, he takes in me. And if anyone takes in me, he takes in the one who sent me. The one who takes the least or lowest place among you is the greatest.

bwe@Luke:10:1 @ After this the Lord chose seventy other men. He sent them ahead of him, two by two. He sent them to every town and village that he was going to visit.

bwe@Luke:10:2 @ He said to them, The harvest is much, but there are not many people to gather it. So talk to the Lord of this harvest and ask him to send out people to his harvest.

bwe@Luke:10:5 @ When you go into a house, first say, "May God give peace to this family."

bwe@Luke:10:7 @ Stay in that house. Eat and drink what the people give you. The one who works should have his pay for it. Do not move from one house to another house.

bwe@Luke:10:11 @ Say to the people, "We wipe off even the dust of the town that is on our feet. This will be a sign to you. But remember this, the kingdom of God has come."

bwe@Luke:10:12 @ I tell you this. On the day when people are judged, they will be punished more than the people in the city of Sodom.

bwe@Luke:10:23 @ Then Jesus turned to his disciples and said to them alone, God is blessing the eyes of people who see what you see!

bwe@Luke:10:24 @ I tell you this. Many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see. But they did not see them. They wanted to hear the things you hear. But they did not hear them.

bwe@Luke:10:30 @ Jesus answered, A man was going from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bad men caught him on the road. They took his clothes and beat him. Then they went away and left him half dead.

bwe@Luke:10:33 @ A man from the country of Samaria was going on that road also, and came to the place. He saw the man and wanted to share in his troubles.

bwe@Luke:10:34 @ He went to him and tied up the sores he had from the beating. He washed them with oil and wine. Then he lifted the man up and set him on his own animal to ride. He took him to the house for strangers. And he cared for him.

bwe@Luke:10:35 @ The next day he gave two pieces of money to the man who was in charge of the house for strangers. He said, "Take care of this man. If it costs you more than this, I will pay you when I come back.

bwe@Luke:10:38 @ Jesus and his disciples went on their way. They came to a town. A woman named Martha took him into her home.

bwe@Luke:11:1 @ One day Jesus was in a place talking with God. When he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to talk with God as John taught his disciples.

bwe@Luke:11:8 @ I tell you this. Maybe he will not give him anything because he is his friend. But he will get up and give him what he needs because he keeps on asking for it.

bwe@Luke:11:15 @ But some of them said, This man drives out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub, the chief of bad spirits.

bwe@Luke:11:18 @ If Satan fights against himself, how will his kingdom stand? You say I drive out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub.

bwe@Luke:11:19 @ If I drive out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub, by whose help do your own people drive them out? Your own people will judge you for this!

bwe@Luke:11:20 @ But if I drive out bad spirits by the help of God, then know this, Gods kingdom is here with you now.

bwe@Luke:11:21 @ A strong man has something in his hand to fight. He guards his place. He will not lose his things.

bwe@Luke:11:22 @ But when a stronger man comes, he catches the man who guards his house. He will take away what is in the mans hand. And he will take his things and give them to his friends.

bwe@Luke:11:27 @ As he said this, a woman among the people called out, Happy is your mother who gave birth to you, and fed you as a baby.

bwe@Luke:11:37 @ While Jesus was saying these things, a Pharisee asked him to come to eat at his house. So Jesus went in and sat at the table.

bwe@Luke:11:38 @ The Pharisee saw that Jesus did not wash his hands before he ate. He was surprised.

bwe@Luke:11:48 @ In this way you show you agree to the things your fathers did. They killed the prophets, and you build places to bury them.

bwe@Luke:12:18 @ So he said, "This is what I will do. I will break down my storehouses and build bigger ones. I will keep in them all the food and everything I have.

bwe@Luke:12:22 @ Jesus said to his disciples, So I tell you this. Do not be troubled about what you will eat to keep alive. Do not be troubled about clothes to wear on your body.

bwe@Luke:12:39 @ And remember this. If the owner of a house knew at what time a man would come to steal, he would not let the man break into his house.

bwe@Luke:12:41 @ Peter said, Lord, are you telling this story for us or for all the people?

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:12:43 @ His master will bless that servant if he is doing this when he comes!

bwe@Luke:12:44 @ I tell you the truth. His master will put him in charge of all that he has

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:12:47 @ A servant knew what his master wanted. But he was not ready. He did not do what his master wanted him to do. So he will be beaten much.

bwe@Luke:12:53 @ A father will be against his son, and the son will be against his father. The mother will be against her daughter, and the daughter will be against her mother. A mans mother will be against his wife, and his wife will be against his mother.

bwe@Luke:13:6 @ Then Jesus told this story: A man had a fruit tree on his farm. He came to look for fruit on it, but did not find any.

bwe@Luke:13:7 @ He said to the man who cared for the trees, "For three years I have come to look for fruit on this tree, but I have not found any. Cut it down. Why should it spoil my farmland?"

bwe@Luke:13:13 @ Jesus put his hands on her, and right away she stood up straight. And she praised God.

bwe@Luke:13:15 @ The Lord said to him, You are not true to yourselves! Every one of you unties his cow or horse and takes it to the water to drink on the Sabbath day. Do you not?

bwe@Luke:13:16 @ This woman belongs to Abrahams family. Satan has tied her for eighteen years. Is it not right that she should be set free on the Sabbath day?

bwe@Luke:13:19 @ It is like this. A man took a mustard seed and planted it in his field. It grew up big like a tree. The birds came and lived in its branches.

bwe@Luke:13:21 @ It is like this. A woman took yeast and mixed it with many cups of flour. The yeast went all through the flour.

bwe@Luke:13:35 @ Now you are left alone in your house. I tell you this. You will not see me again until the time when you say, "God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord."

bwe@Luke:14:2 @ man stood in front of him. He was sick. His body was filled with water.

bwe@Luke:14:9 @ Then the man who called you both will come and say to you, "Get up and let this man sit here." Then you will be ashamed. And you will go and sit down in the last place.

bwe@Luke:14:15 @ One of those who was sitting at the table heard this. He said, Happy is the person who will eat in the kingdom of God!

bwe@Luke:14:17 @ When the feast was ready, he sent his servant to tell the people who had been asked. He said, "Come. Everything is ready."

bwe@Luke:14:21 @ The servant came and told his master. Then the master was very angry. He said to his servant, "Go out quickly. Go on all the streets in the city. Bring here people who are poor, hurt, blind, or lame."

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:14:30 @ They will say, "This man started to build a house and could not finish it."

bwe@Luke:15:2 @ The Pharisees and scribes did not like it. And they said to each other, This man is glad to have bad people come. He eats with them.

bwe@Luke:15:3 @ So Jesus told them this story.

bwe@Luke:15:4 @ He said, Which one of you will not do this? A man has a hundred sheep. He loses one of them. He leaves the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and he goes to look for the one that is lost. He looks until he finds it.

bwe@Luke:15:5 @ And when he has found it, he is very glad. He carries it on his back.

bwe@Luke:15:6 @ When he comes home, he calls his friends and neighbours to come. He says, "Be glad with me! I have found my lost sheep."

bwe@Luke:15:8 @ What woman will not do this? She has ten pieces of silver money. If she loses one of them, she lights a lamp and sweeps the house. She looks for the money until she finds it.

bwe@Luke:15:12 @ The younger son said to his father, "Father, give me my part of what will belong to me." So his father divided all he had between the two sons.

bwe@Luke:15:13 @ After a few days, the younger son packed up his things. He left home and went to a country far away. There he spent his money in foolish and wrong ways.

bwe@Luke:15:15 @ So he went to stay with a man in the country who had a farm. The man sent him out to his farm to feed the pigs.

bwe@Luke:15:20 @ So he got up and went to his father. While he was still far away, his father saw him. He loved him and wanted to share in his troubles. He ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.

bwe@Luke:15:22 @ But his father said to his servants, "Go quickly and bring the best clothes. Dress him. Put a ring on his hand. Put shoes on his feet.

bwe@Luke:15:24 @ This is my son. He was dead and now he is alive again. He was lost and is found." And they began to have a good time.

bwe@Luke:15:28 @ But the older son was angry. He would not go into the house. His father came out and begged him to come in.

bwe@Luke:15:29 @ But the son said to his father, "Look. I have worked hard for you for many years. I have always done everything you told me to do. And yet you never even gave me a young goat to make a feast with my friends.

bwe@Luke:15:30 @ But now this son of yours has come back. He has spent all your money and was with bad women. And yet you kill the fat calf for him!"

bwe@Luke:16:1 @ Jesus also talked to his disciples. He said, A rich man had a manager in charge of his things. People told the rich man that the manager was wasting his things.

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:16:5 @ So he called to him everyone who owed his master something. He asked the first man, "How much do you owe my master?"

bwe@Luke:16:8 @ Then the master praised the manager who did wrong. He praised him because he did what was wise. The people of this world are wiser than the people who have the Light. They know how to get along with people like themselves.

bwe@Luke:16:9 @ I tell you this. Money may be a wrong thing, but use it to make friends for yourselves. Then when your money is spent, they will be glad to see you come into that place where people live for ever.

bwe@Luke:16:18 @ If a man sends away his wife and marries another woman, he commits adultery. And if the man marries a woman who has been sent away by her husband, he commits adultery.

bwe@Luke:16:20 @ A poor man named Lazarus was put at his door. He had many sores on his body.

bwe@Luke:16:21 @ He wanted to eat the pieces of food that fell from the rich mans table. Dogs came and licked his sores.

bwe@Luke:16:24 @ He called out, "Father Abraham, help me! Send Lazarus to dip his finger in some water and cool my tongue. This fire is very hot for me."

bwe@Luke:16:25 @ But Abraham said to him, "Son, remember this. You had a good time when you were living. Lazarus had a bad time when he was living. But now he is happy here and you are in pain.

bwe@Luke:16:28 @ I have five brothers there. Tell him to talk to them so that they will not come to this place where there is pain."

bwe@Luke:17:1 @ Jesus said to his disciples, People will make other people do wrong. But the person who makes another person do wrong will have trouble.

bwe@Luke:17:2 @ A big stone should be tied around his neck and then he should be thrown into the sea. That would be better for him than to make one of these little children do wrong.

bwe@Luke:17:6 @ The Lord said, If you believe as much as a little mustard seed, then you can say to this tree, "Come up by the roots and plant yourself in the sea." And it would obey you.

bwe@Luke:17:18 @ Is this stranger the only one who has come back to praise God?

bwe@Luke:17:22 @ Jesus said to his disciples, The time will come when you will want to see one of the days of the Son of Man. But you will not see it.

bwe@Luke:17:27 @ People ate and drank. They married and gave their daughters to be married. All this went on until the day when Noah went into his house built on a boat. Then there was much water and all the people outside the boat died.

bwe@Luke:17:31 @ On that day a man will be at the top of his house, and his things will be below. But he must not go down to get his things. In the same way a man will be in the field, but he must not go back home.

bwe@Luke:17:33 @ Anyone who wants to keep his life will lose it. And anyone who gives up his life will keep it.

bwe@Luke:17:37 @ They asked him, Where will this be, Lord? He said, The big birds that eat meat will go to the place where the dead body is.

bwe@Luke:18:5 @ But this woman is troubling me. So I will save her from her enemy. If I do not, she will keep coming until I am tired."

bwe@Luke:18:9 @ There were some people who thought they were very good. And they thought that other people were not good. Jesus told this story to them.

bwe@Luke:18:11 @ The Pharisee stood and said to himself, "God, I thank you that I am not like other men. They steal, cheat, and commit adultery. I thank you that I am not like this tax collector.

bwe@Luke:18:13 @ The tax collector stood far away. He did not even look up towards heaven. But he beat his chest, and said, "God, I am a bad man. Help me!"

bwe@Luke:18:14 @ I tell you, when this man went home, he was right with God. The other one was not. Everyone who puts himself up in a high place will be brought down to a low place. And everyone who puts himself in a low place will be brought up to a high place.

bwe@Luke:18:15 @ People brought even small children to Jesus. They wanted him to put his hands on them. When the disciples saw it, they tried to stop the people.

bwe@Luke:18:30 @ Jesus said to them, I tell you the truth. If any man has left his house, or his wife, or his brothers, or his father, or his mother, or his children for the sake of the kingdom of God, he will receive many times as much as he has left. He will receive that in this world. And in the next world he will live for ever.

bwe@Luke:18:37 @ They told him, Jesus of Nazareth is passing this way.

bwe@Luke:19:6 @ So Zacchaeus came down right then. He was glad to have Jesus come in his house.

bwe@Luke:19:7 @ When all the people saw this, they did not like it. They said, He has gone to visit a bad man.

bwe@Luke:19:9 @ Jesus said to him, The head of this house has been saved today! He also is a son of Abraham.

bwe@Luke:19:11 @ While they were listening to this, he started to tell them a story. He did so because they were near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God would begin right away.

bwe@Luke:19:13 @ Before he left, he called ten of his servants. He gave each of them some money. He said, "Go and trade with this money until I come back."

bwe@Luke:19:14 @ His people hated him. They chose some men and sent them after him to tell the king, "We do not want this man to rule over us."

bwe@Luke:19:28 @ When Jesus had said this, he went on ahead of them towards Jerusalem.

bwe@Luke:19:29 @ He came near Bethphage and Bethany by the hill called the Mount of Olives. Then he sent two of his disciples ahead.

bwe@Luke:19:40 @ Jesus answered, I tell you, if they do not speak like this the stones will call out.

bwe@Luke:19:41 @ When Jesus came near, he saw the city. His heart was very sad and he cried.

bwe@Luke:20:3 @ He answered, I will ask you a question also. Tell me this.

bwe@Luke:20:9 @ Then Jesus began to tell the people this story. A man planted a farm. He let some men use the farm. They paid him money for the rent. Then he went to a country far away and stayed a long time.

bwe@Luke:20:10 @ At harvest time the owner sent one of his servants to the men who used the farm. He wanted to have some fruit from the farm. But the men beat the servant and sent him away without any fruit.

bwe@Luke:20:11 @ So he sent another servant. They beat this one also, and did wrong things to him. And they sent him away without any fruit.

bwe@Luke:20:12 @ He sent a servant the third time. They hurt this one also and threw him out of the farm.

bwe@Luke:20:14 @ But when the men saw him they said to each other, "This is the one who will have everything when his father dies. Let us kill him. Then everything will belong to us."

bwe@Luke:20:16 @ He will come back and kill those men. And he will give the farm to other men to use. When the chief priests and scribes heard this, they said, May it not be so!

bwe@Luke:20:17 @ But Jesus looked right at them. He said, What about this writing then? "The stone which the builders would not use is now the chief corner stone."

bwe@Luke:20:19 @ The scribes and the chief priests wanted to catch Jesus right then but they feared the people. They understood that he had told this story against them.

bwe@Luke:20:20 @ So they watched for a chance to catch him. And they sent men to spy on him. These men acted as if they were good men. They did this because they wanted to catch him in something that he said. They wanted to give him over to the ruler who would judge and punish him.

bwe@Luke:20:26 @ They were not able to catch him in anything he said in front of the people. They were surprised at his answer and they could not say anything.

bwe@Luke:20:28 @ They came to ask Jesus a question. Teacher, they said, Moses gave us this law: "If a man dies and leaves a wife but no children, then his brother must marry the wife and raise a family for his brother."

bwe@Luke:20:34 @ Jesus said to them, Men and women in this world marry.

bwe@Luke:20:37 @ Even Moses showed that people do rise from death. It is in his book where we read about the small tree which burned. Moses says that the Lord is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

bwe@Luke:20:44 @ So David calls Christ his Lord. How can Christ be Davids son?

bwe@Luke:20:45 @ Then Jesus talked to his disciples while all the people could hear him.

bwe@Luke:21:3 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. This poor woman has given more than all the other people.

bwe@Luke:21:7 @ They asked him, Teacher, when will this happen? What will be the sign when these things are going to be done?

bwe@Luke:21:13 @ This will be a chance for you to talk about me.

bwe@Luke:21:23 @ In those days it will be very hard for women who are to have a child. It will be very hard for mothers who have babies. There will be big trouble on the earth. God will show his anger to these people.

bwe@Luke:21:34 @ But take care. Do not think too much about eating, drinking, and things in this life. If you do, that day will come and catch you like a trap.

bwe@Luke:22:1 @ It was near the time for the feast with bread that has no yeast in it. This is called the Passover Feast.

bwe@Luke:22:3 @ Satan came into the heart of Judas. Judas was one of the twelve disciples. His other name was Iscariot.

bwe@Luke:22:15 @ He said to them, I have wanted very much to eat this Passover Feast with you before my troubles come.

bwe@Luke:22:16 @ I tell you this. I will not eat it again until the great feast in the kingdom of God.

bwe@Luke:22:17 @ He took the cup and thanked God. He said, Take this. All of you drink from this.

bwe@Luke:22:18 @ I tell you this. I will not drink from the fruit of the vine again until the kingdom of God comes.

bwe@Luke:22:19 @ He took some bread. He thanked God for it and broke it. He gave it to the disciples and said, This is my body, which is given for you. When you do this, then remember me.

bwe@Luke:22:20 @ In the same way he took the cup after they had eaten. He said, This cup is the new agreement made by my blood. It is given for you.

bwe@Luke:22:21 @ There is a man who will give me over to my enemies. His hand is here at the table with me.

bwe@Luke:22:23 @ The disciples began to ask each other, Which of us will do this?

bwe@Luke:22:34 @ Jesus said, I tell you this, Peter. This very day, before the cock calls, you will say three times that you do not know me.

bwe@Luke:22:36 @ He said, But this time, anyone who has money should take it and his bag too. Anyone who has no sword should sell his coat and buy one.

bwe@Luke:22:39 @ Then Jesus went out of the room and went to the hill called the Mount of Olives where he often went. His disciples went with him.

bwe@Luke:22:42 @ He said, Father, if you will, take this cup away from me. But do not do what I want but what you want.

bwe@Luke:22:44 @ His heart was troubled very much. So he talked with God more than before. His sweat was like big drops of blood falling on the ground.

bwe@Luke:22:45 @ He stopped talking with God and got up. He went to his disciples and found them sleeping because they were sad.

bwe@Luke:22:47 @ As Jesus was saying this, many men came. One of the twelve disciples, named Judas, was leading the people. He came near Jesus to kiss him.

bwe@Luke:22:48 @ Jesus said to him, Judas, will you give over the Son of Man to his enemies with a kiss?

bwe@Luke:22:50 @ One of them hit the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

bwe@Luke:22:51 @ Jesus said, Just let me do this. And he touched the mans ear and healed him.

bwe@Luke:22:53 @ I was with you every day in the temple. You did not try to catch me then. But this is your time now, the time of the power of darkness.

bwe@Luke:22:56 @ A woman saw Peter sitting by the fire. She looked at him and said, This man was with him also.

bwe@Luke:22:59 @ About an hour later another person said, Surely this man was with him. He comes from Galilee.

bwe@Luke:22:64 @ They tied something over his eyes. Then they hit him in the face and said, Tell us if you know who hit you!

bwe@Luke:22:69 @ From this time on the Son of Man will sit beside God who has all power.

bwe@Luke:23:2 @ They began to make a complaint against him. They said, This man is leading our people to do wrong. He says we should not pay taxes to Caesar. He says that he is Christ, a King.

bwe@Luke:23:4 @ Pilate said to the chief priests and to the people, I find nothing wrong in this man.

bwe@Luke:23:5 @ But they said all the more, He troubles the people by his teaching. He has been teaching people in all the country of Judea. He began in Galilee and has come as far as this city.

bwe@Luke:23:6 @ When Pilate heard this, he asked, Is this man from Galilee?

bwe@Luke:23:11 @ Then Herod and his soldiers laughed at Jesus and made fun of him. He dressed him up in very fine clothes and sent him back to Pilate.

bwe@Luke:23:14 @ He said to them, You brought this man to me. You said he is leading your people to do wrong. I have asked questions here in front of you. I have found nothing wrong in this man.

bwe@Luke:23:15 @ Herod did the same. He sent him back to us. This man has done nothing for which he should die.

bwe@Luke:23:18 @ But they all shouted, Kill this man! Let Barabbas go free for us!

bwe@Luke:23:26 @ They took Jesus away. On the way, they caught a man who was coming in from the farms. His name was Simon. He was born in the country of Cyrene. They made him walk behind Jesus and carry his cross.

bwe@Luke:23:31 @ If this is what people do when the wood is new, what will they do when it is old?

bwe@Luke:23:34 @ Jesus said, Father, forgive them! They do not know what they are doing. The soldiers played a game to see how they should divide his clothes.

bwe@Luke:23:38 @ The sign that was put above Jesus head said, This is the King of the Jews.

bwe@Luke:23:41 @ It is right for us to be punished because we have done wrong things. But this man has done nothing bad.

bwe@Luke:23:46 @ Jesus called out loud, Father, I put my spirit into your hands! When he had said this, he died.

bwe@Luke:23:47 @ The captain saw all this. Then he praised God. He said, Surely, this was a good man!

bwe@Luke:23:49 @ All Jesus friends and the women who had come with him from Galilee stood far away. They saw all of this.

bwe@Luke:23:53 @ He took the body down from the cross. He wrapped it in a linen cloth and laid it in a grave cut in a rock. No one had ever been put in this grave.

bwe@Luke:23:55 @ Some women had come with Jesus from Galilee. They followed and saw the grave where his body was put.

bwe@Luke:23:56 @ Then they went back and got things ready to put on his body. These things were spices that smelled very nice, and sweet kinds of oil. On the Sabbath day they rested as the law said they should.

bwe@Luke:24:4 @ They were troubled about this. Then they saw two men standing near them. They were dressed in white clothes.

bwe@Luke:24:16 @ Jesus asked them, What is this that you are talking about as you walk along looking so sad?

bwe@Luke:24:20 @ But we were hoping that he was the one who would free the people of Israel. But that is not all. This is the third day since they did it.

bwe@Luke:24:21 @ Some of our women told us things that surprised us. Early this morning they were at the grave.

bwe@Luke:24:22 @ They did not find his body there. They came back and said that they saw angels. The angels told them that Jesus was living.

bwe@Luke:24:25 @ Christ had to have this trouble and go to the place where he will be great, did he not?

bwe@Luke:24:35 @ While they were telling them this, Jesus himself stood there with them. He said to them, Peace to you!

bwe@Luke:24:41 @ Then he said, I told you this while I was with you. I told you that things were written about me in the books of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms. And I told you that all of these things must come true.

bwe@Luke:24:44 @ Men will talk in his name to people in all countries. They will tell them to stop their wrong ways and ask to be forgiven. They will begin in Jerusalem.

bwe@Luke:24:47 @ Jesus led the disciples out as far as the town of Bethany. He put up his hands and blessed them.

bwe@John:1:11 @ He came into the world that was his own, but his own people did not receive him.

bwe@John:1:12 @ But there were people who did believe in his name. They did receive him. He gave all those who received him and believed him the right to become children of God.

bwe@John:1:13 @ They were born into Gods family by God. That is, they were not born into his family in the way a person is born into this world. It was not by any persons will.

bwe@John:1:14 @ The Word became man and he lived among us. We saw with our own eyes that he is great. He is great the way God the Father made his only Son great. We saw that he is full of loving kindness and truth.

bwe@John:1:17 @ Moses gave the law, but Jesus Christ gave this loving kindness and truth.

bwe@John:1:18 @ No one has ever seen God. But his only Son is very near to his Fathers heart. He has told us plainly about God.

bwe@John:1:23 @ John said, I am a voice calling in the desert, "Make the road straight for the Lord." This is what was said by Isaiah, the prophet of God long ago.

bwe@John:1:27 @ He is the one coming after me who is greater than I am. I am not even good enough to untie his shoe strings.

bwe@John:1:34 @ I saw the Spirit coming on him, and I have told you. This man is the Son of God.

bwe@John:1:35 @ The next day, John was standing with two of his followers.

bwe@John:1:41 @ The first thing Andrew did then was to find his brother Simon. He said, We have found the Messiah! (Messiah means the Christ, the messenger of God.)

bwe@John:2:2 @ Jesus and his disciples were also asked to the wedding.

bwe@John:2:5 @ His mother said to the servants, Do all that he tells you to do.

bwe@John:2:11 @ This was the first big work that Jesus did. It was in Cana in Galilee. He showed that he was great. And his disciples believed in him.

bwe@John:2:12 @ After this he went to the town called Capernaum. His mother, his brothers, and his disciples also went with him. They stayed there for a few days.

bwe@John:2:17 @ His disciples remembered that Gods word says, My love for your house is like a fire burning in me.

bwe@John:2:18 @ The leaders of the Jews said to Jesus, Who gave you the right to do this? What big work will prove it to us?

bwe@John:2:19 @ Jesus answered them, Break down this temple and in three days I will raise it up.

bwe@John:2:20 @ The Jewish leaders said, It took forty-six years to build this temple. Do you say you will raise it in three days?

bwe@John:2:21 @ But Jesus was talking about the temple which was his body.

bwe@John:2:22 @ After Jesus died and had been raised from death, the disciples remembered that he had said this to them. Then they believed what the holy writings say. They also believed what Jesus had said to them.

bwe@John:3:2 @ One night Nicodemus came to Jesus. He said, Master, we know you are a teacher sent by God. We know this because no person could do the big works you are doing if God did not help him.

bwe@John:3:4 @ 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:3:10 @ Jesus answered, Are you a teacher of the people of Israel and you do not know this?

bwe@John:3:16 @ God loved the world so very, very much that he gave his only Son. Because he did that, everyone who believes in him will not lose his life, but will live for ever.

bwe@John:3:17 @ God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world. He sent him to save the world.

bwe@John:3:22 @ After this, Jesus and his disciples came into the country of Judea. Jesus stayed there with them and baptized people.

bwe@John:3:24 @ This was before John was put in prison.

bwe@John:3:35 @ The Father loves his Son and has put everything in his hand.

bwe@John:4:4 @ He came to a town in Samaria called Sychar. It was near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

bwe@John:4:7 @ His disciples had gone into the town to buy some food.

bwe@John:4:11 @ Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us this well? He drank water from this well, also his children and cattle.

bwe@John:4:12 @ Jesus answered her, Anyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

bwe@John:4:14 @ The woman said, Sir, give me this water. Then I will never be thirsty again. I will not need to come here to draw water.

bwe@John:4:18 @ The woman said, Sir, this shows me you are a prophet of God.

bwe@John:4:19 @ Our fathers came to this mountain to worship God. But you people say Jerusalem is the place people must go to worship him.

bwe@John:4:20 @ Jesus said, Woman, believe what I say. The time is coming when you will not come to this mountain or to Jerusalem to worship my Father.

bwe@John:4:24 @ The woman said to Jesus, I know that Messiah is coming. His name is Christ. When he comes he will tell us everything.

bwe@John:4:26 @ When Jesus had said this, his disciples came back. They were surprised to hear him talking to a woman. But not one of them asked, What do you want? or, Why are you talking to her?

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:4:33 @ Jesus said to them, My food is to obey the one who sent me and to finish his work.

bwe@John:4:36 @ This saying is true here: "One sows and another gathers."

bwe@John:4:40 @ Many more people believed in Jesus because of his own word.

bwe@John:4:41 @ They said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of what you told us, but because of what he himself has told us. We know it is true. This is the Saviour of the world.

bwe@John:4:42 @ Two days after this, Jesus left Samaria and went to Galilee.

bwe@John:4:43 @ Jesus himself said, No prophet is honoured by the people in his own country.

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:4:50 @ On the way, his servants met him. They said, Your son is living.

bwe@John:4:52 @ The father knew that was the time when Jesus said to him Your son will not die. So he and all his family believed in Jesus.

bwe@John:4:53 @ This was the second big work that Jesus did after he came back from Judea to Galilee.

bwe@John:5:2 @ In Jerusalem, near the Sheep Gate, there is a wide water hole. The Jews called this water hole Bethesda. It had five places with roofs for people to stand under.

bwe@John:5:9 @ The man was healed right away. He took up his bed and walked. This happened on the Sabbath day.

bwe@John:5:16 @ The Jewish leaders made trouble for Jesus because he did this on the Sabbath day.

bwe@John:5:18 @ This was why the leaders of the Jews tried much more to kill Jesus. He had broken the law of the Sabbath day. And also he called God his Father. In that way, he was making himself equal with God.

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:5:20 @ My Father loves his Son. He shows him all that he himself is doing. He will show his Son bigger works than these so that you may be surprised.

bwe@John:5:21 @ My Father raises people who were dead, and gives them life. So his Son gives life to anyone he wants to.

bwe@John:5:22 @ My Father judges no one, but he has made his Son to be the judge of everything.

bwe@John:5:23 @ He did this so that all people would respect the Son, just as they respect his Father. My Father has sent his Son. Anyone who does not respect his Son does not respect the Father.

bwe@John:5:25 @ I tell you the truth. The time is coming. Yes, the time is here when the dead people will hear the voice of the Son of God. Those who hear his voice will live.

bwe@John:5:26 @ My Father has life in himself. And so he has made his Son to have life in himself.

bwe@John:5:27 @ He has given his Son power also to judge because he is the Son of Man.

bwe@John:5:28 @ Do not be surprised at what I say. The time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear his voice.

bwe@John:5:34 @ I do not need to listen to what a person says about me. But I tell you this so that you may be saved.

bwe@John:5:35 @ John was a light burning and shining. For a while you were happy to be in his light.

bwe@John:5:43 @ I have come in my Fathers name, but you will not receive me. If another person comes in his own name, then you will receive him.

bwe@John:6:1 @ Then Jesus crossed over the sea of Galilee. (Another name for this sea was Tiberias.)

bwe@John:6:3 @ Jesus went up on a hill and sat down with his disciples.

bwe@John:6:6 @ Jesus knew what he himself would do, but he said this to see what Philip would do.

bwe@John:6:12 @ When they had eaten enough, he said to his disciples, Gather up all the pieces that are left so that nothing will be lost.

bwe@John:6:14 @ When those men saw the big work that Jesus did, they said, Truly, this is the Prophet that is to come into the world.

bwe@John:6:15 @ The people wanted to take Jesus by force to make him a king. When he saw this, he left again and went on the hill by himself.

bwe@John:6:16 @ In the evening his disciples went down to the lake <FI>called the sea of Galilee<Fi>.

bwe@John:6:24 @ The next day the people saw that Jesus and his disciples were not there. Then they went to Capernaum in boats to look for Jesus.

bwe@John:6:34 @ They said to him, Lord, give us this bread always!

bwe@John:6:40 @ My Father wants everyone who sees his Son and believes in him to live for ever. I will raise him up on the last day.

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:6:45 @ The prophets wrote, "God will teach all people." So then, every person who listens to his words and learns what he says, he will come to me.

bwe@John:6:50 @ Here is bread that comes down from heaven. The person who eats this bread will never die.

bwe@John:6:51 @ I am the bread that gives life. I came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he will live for ever. I will give bread so that the world may live. I am that bread.

bwe@John:6:53 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. If you do not eat the Son of Man and do not drink his blood, you will not have life.

bwe@John:6:58 @ This bread which came down from heaven is not like the bread that your fathers ate. They ate bread but they died. Anyone who eats this bread from heaven will live for ever.

bwe@John:6:60 @ Many of his disciples heard it. They said, This is a hard teaching. Who can listen to it?

bwe@John:6:61 @ But Jesus knew that his disciples did not like what he said. He asked, Is this hard for you?

bwe@John:7:1 @ After this, Jesus travelled around in Galilee. He would not travel around in Judea because the leaders of the Jews wanted to kill him.

bwe@John:7:5 @ Even his brothers did not believe in Jesus.

bwe@John:7:9 @ He said this to them and stayed in Galilee.

bwe@John:7:10 @ After his brothers went to the feast, Jesus went also. He did not go with the other people, but he went by himself.

bwe@John:7:15 @ The Jews were very much surprised. How can this man know books? He never went to school.

bwe@John:7:18 @ The person who speaks from his own mind only wants to be great himself. But the person whom God has sent wants to show that God is great. That person is true. He is not a bad man.

bwe@John:7:25 @ Some people from Jerusalem said, Is not this the person they are trying to kill?

bwe@John:7:26 @ See, he does not fear to speak and yet they say nothing to him! Do the rulers really know that this man is the Christ?

bwe@John:7:27 @ But we know where this man comes from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.

bwe@John:7:31 @ Many of the people believed in Jesus. They said, When Christ comes, will he do greater works than this man has done?

bwe@John:7:36 @ What does he mean by this: "You will look for me and will not find me. You will not be able to go to the place where I will be"?

bwe@John:7:38 @ If anyone believes in me, the holy writings say, "Rivers of water that give life will flow out of his heart."

bwe@John:7:39 @ This is what Jesus meant: those who believe in him would receive the Spirit. At that time no one had received the Holy Spirit because Jesus had not yet been lifted up to heaven

bwe@John:7:40 @ When some of the people heard this they said, Truly, this is the Prophet.

bwe@John:7:41 @ Other people said, This is the Christ. But some said, The Christ will not come from Galilee. Shall Christ come out of Galilee?

bwe@John:8:4 @ They said, Teacher, this woman has committed adultery. She was caught doing it.

bwe@John:8:6 @ They said this to see what Jesus would do, because they wanted to find something wrong with him. Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

bwe@John:8:20 @ When Jesus said these words he was teaching in the temple. He was in the place where the money is kept. No one caught him because it was not yet his time.

bwe@John:8:23 @ Jesus said to them, You are from below. I am from above. You belong to this world. I do not belong to this world.

bwe@John:8:27 @ The people did not understand that Jesus was talking to them about his Father.

bwe@John:8:30 @ Many people believed in Jesus while he was talking this way.

bwe@John:8:44 @ The bad spirit, the devil, is your real father. You gladly do the wrong things he wants you to do. From the beginning he killed people. He has nothing to do with what is true. His way is to tell lies. He himself is a liar and all lying comes from him.

bwe@John:8:55 @ But you do not know God. I know him. If I say, "I do not know him," I am a liar, just as you people are. But I know him and I obey his word.

bwe@John:9:1 @ On his way out of the temple Jesus saw a man who had been born blind.

bwe@John:9:2 @ His disciples asked Jesus, Master, was this man born blind because of the wrong things he did, or was it the wrong things his parents did?

bwe@John:9:3 @ Jesus answered, It was not that he or his parents did any wrong thing. But it was so that people would see what God will do in him.

bwe@John:9:4 @ There is one who has sent me. I must do his work while it is still daylight. Night is coming. Then it will be too dark to work.

bwe@John:9:6 @ When Jesus had said this, he spat on the ground. Then he put some of the wet dirt on the mans eyes.

bwe@John:9:7 @ And he said, Go. wash your eyes in that water hole called Siloam. (Siloam means Sent.) The man went and washed his eyes. After that, he was able to see.

bwe@John:9:8 @ His neighbours and other people had seen him when he was blind. They said, Is not this the same man who used to sit here and beg?

bwe@John:9:9 @ Some people said, Yes, this is the same man. Others said, He is like that man. But the man himself said, I am that man.

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:9:20 @ The parents answered, We know that this is our son. And we know that he was born blind.

bwe@John:9:22 @ The parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. They knew that the leaders of the Jews had already agreed that if anyone said Jesus is the Christ, they would be put out of the meeting place.

bwe@John:9:24 @ Then again they called the man who had been blind. They said to him, You must praise God for this. We know that the man who healed you is a bad man.

bwe@John:9:27 @ He answered them, I told you already. You did not listen. Why do you want me to tell you again? Do you also want to be his disciples?

bwe@John:9:28 @ This made them angry. They said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

bwe@John:9:29 @ We know that God talked to Moses. But this man, we do not know where he comes from.

bwe@John:9:30 @ The man who had been blind said, This surprises me! He healed me and yet you do not know where he comes from!

bwe@John:9:32 @ Before this, no one has ever healed a man who was born blind. Such a thing has not been heard of since the world was made.

bwe@John:9:33 @ If this man did not come from God, he could not do anything like this.

bwe@John:9:40 @ Some of the Pharisees were with Jesus and heard him say this. They asked him, You mean to say that we are blind also?

bwe@John:10:3 @ The guard will open the door for him. The sheep will listen to him. He calls his own sheep by their names and leads them out.

bwe@John:10:4 @ When all his own sheep are out of the house, he goes ahead of them. The sheep come behind him because they know his voice.

bwe@John:10:6 @ Jesus told this story to the Pharisees, but they did not understand what he was trying to tell them.

bwe@John:10:11 @ I am the good shepherd. I am the one who really cares for the sheep. The good shepherd is willing to die to save his sheep.

bwe@John:10:18 @ No one kills me. I die only because I choose to die. I have power to die and I have power to live again. This is what my Father has told me to do.

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:10:24 @ The Jews came around Jesus and said, How long will you keep us wondering about this matter? If you are really the Christ, then tell us plainly.

bwe@John:10:26 @ And yet you do not believe because you are not my sheep. I told you this before.

bwe@John:10:41 @ Many people came to him there. They said, John himself did not do any big work. But everything that John said about this man is true.

bwe@John:11:2 @ Mary was the same woman that put oil on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair. It was her brother Lazarus who was sick.

bwe@John:11:4 @ Jesus heard the message. He said, The man is sick, but he will not die from it. But this will show people that God is great, and his Son also.

bwe@John:11:7 @ After that, he said to his disciples, Let us go back again to Judea.

bwe@John:11:11 @ After he said this, he said also, Our friend Lazarus is sleeping, but I am going to wake him up.

bwe@John:11:12 @ His disciples said, Lord, if he is sleeping then he will get well again.

bwe@John:11:26 @ Anyone who is living and who believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?

bwe@John:11:28 @ When she had said this, she went back to call her sister. She said quietly, Mary, the Master has come. He is calling you.

bwe@John:11:33 @ Jesus saw her crying. He saw the Jews who came with her crying also. Then his heart was troubled very much.

bwe@John:11:37 @ Then some of them said, This man made the blind see. Could he not have saved Lazarus from dying?

bwe@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, Take the stone away. Martha, the sister of the dead man, said, Lord, he will smell bad by this time. He has been dead four days already.

bwe@John:11:42 @ I know that you always hear me. But I have said this so that the people who are standing here might believe that you have sent me.

bwe@John:11:43 @ When he had said this, he shouted, Lazarus, come out!

bwe@John:11:44 @ Out came the dead man! The cloth that they had buried him in was tied around his hands and feet. Another small cloth was tied around his face. Jesus said to the people, Take off the cloths and free him!

bwe@John:11:47 @ So the chief priests and the Pharisees met together. They said, What are we going to do? This man is doing many big works.

bwe@John:11:54 @ That is why Jesus did not go among the Jews in the open. But he went to another part of the country, to a town called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.

bwe@John:12:1 @ Six days before the Passover Feast Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus lived. This was the Lazarus that Jesus had raised from death.

bwe@John:12:3 @ Mary had a jar of oil. It smelled very nice and cost much money. She put some of it on Jesus feet. Then she wiped his feet with her hair. The smell of oil went all through the house.

bwe@John:12:5 @ He said, This oil is worth a years wages! Why did we not sell it and give the money to poor people?

bwe@John:12:6 @ Judas did not say this because he cared for poor people. But he used to steal. He carried the disciples money bag and he used to take money out of the bag for himself.

bwe@John:12:7 @ Then Jesus said, Leave her alone. She has kept this oil for the time when they will bury me.

bwe@John:12:16 @ His disciples did not understand this at first. But when God had made Jesus great, then they remembered what the holy writings said about him. They remembered that people had done these things to him.

bwe@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees said to each other, See, you cannot stop this thing. People everywhere are going after him.

bwe@John:12:25 @ Anyone who tries to keep his life will lose it. Anyone who gives up his life in this world will live for ever in the next world.

bwe@John:12:27 @ Now my heart is very sad. Shall I say, "Father, save me from this time of trouble"? No, I have come to this time just so that I might go through it.

bwe@John:12:30 @ Jesus answered them, This voice did not come for my sake, but it came for your sake.

bwe@John:12:31 @ It is time now for the world to be judged. The ruler of this world will be put out.

bwe@John:12:33 @ He said this to show how he would die.

bwe@John:12:34 @ The people answered him, Our law book tells us that Christ will stay here for ever. Why do you say, "The Son of Man will be raised up from the earth"? Tell us who this Son of Man is.

bwe@John:12:36 @ Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may be a people who have the light in you. When Jesus had said this, he left them. They did not know where he was.

bwe@John:12:41 @ Isaiah said this about the Christ when he saw how great he was.

bwe@John:12:49 @ I have not said this from my own mind, but my Father who sent me told me what to say. He told me what to tell you.

bwe@John:13:1 @ Before the Passover Feast had started, Jesus saw that the time had come for him to leave this world. The time had come for him to go back to his Father. He loved his own people who were in the world. And he loved them the same way right to the end.

bwe@John:13:2 @ He and his disciples were eating together. The devil had already put it into Judas heart to give Jesus over to people who hated him. (Judas was the son of Simon Iscariot.)

bwe@John:13:3 @ Jesus knew that his Father had put everything into his hands. He knew he had come from God. He knew he was going back to God.

bwe@John:13:4 @ Jesus stood up where he had been eating. He took off his outer clothing. And he took a towel and tied it around him.

bwe@John:13:10 @ Jesus said, A person who has bathed himself needs to wash his feet only. He is all clean. You are clean, but not all of you.

bwe@John:13:12 @ After Jesus had finished washing their feet, he took his gown and sat down again. Do you understand what I have done to you? he asked.

bwe@John:13:16 @ I tell you the truth. The servant is not better than his master. The one who is sent is not better than the one who sent him.

bwe@John:13:19 @ I am telling you this now before it happens. So when it happens you will believe who I am.

bwe@John:13:21 @ When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in his heart. He said, I tell you the truth. One of you will give me over to people who hate me.

bwe@John:13:23 @ The disciple Jesus loved was at his right side.

bwe@John:13:32 @ If he has made Gods name great, God also will make him great by his own power. He will do it right away.

bwe@John:13:35 @ This is how all people will know that you are my disciples.

bwe@John:14:9 @ Jesus said to him, Philip, you mean to say that I have been with you all this time and yet you do not know me? The person who has seen me has seen my Father also. Why do you say, "Show us your Father"?

bwe@John:14:26 @ But the Holy Spirit is the one who will help you. My Father will send him in my name. He will teach you everything that I have said to you. His Helper will remind you of all that I said.

bwe@John:14:29 @ I have told you this before it happens. Then when it does happen, you will believe.

bwe@John:14:30 @ After this I will not talk much with you. The ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me.

bwe@John:15:13 @ The strongest love anyone can have is this. He will die to save his friends.

bwe@John:15:15 @ I do not call you servants anymore, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends because you know everything that my Father has told me.

bwe@John:15:19 @ If you belonged to this world, the world would love you. But you do not belong to the world. I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

bwe@John:15:20 @ Remember what I told you. I said, "The servant is not better than his master." If the people in the world have troubled me, they will also trouble you. If they obey me, they will also obey you.

bwe@John:15:25 @ This has happened in order to make the words of their law book come true. It says, "They hated me for no reason."

bwe@John:16:8 @ When the Helper comes, he will prove this to the people of the world that they are wrong. They are wrong about what they call bad and about what they call good. He will show them how to be right with God. He will show them about Gods judgement.

bwe@John:16:11 @ He will show them how to judge right, because the ruler of this world himself will be judged.

bwe@John:16:13 @ When the truth-giving Spirit comes, he will show you everything that is true. He will not speak his own message, but he will tell you the things that he has been told to tell you. He will tell you what is going to happen.

bwe@John:16:19 @ Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him this question. So he said to them, Are you asking each other what I mean by saying, "Very soon you will not see me. Then in a little while after that you will see me"?

bwe@John:16:30 @ We know now that you know everything. No one needs to ask you questions. This makes us believe that God sent you.

bwe@John:16:32 @ Listen, the time is coming. No, the time is here when you will run away. Every man will go to his own home. You will leave me on my own. And yet I am not alone, because my Father is with me.

bwe@John:17:15 @ I do not ask you to take them out of the world. But I ask you to take care of them, so that the evil one of this world will not harm them.

bwe@John:17:20 @ I do not ask this for these people only; I ask it also for the people who will believe in me when they hear what these people say.

bwe@John:17:21 @ I do this so that the people will all be one. That is the same way with us. You, my Father, belong to me and I belong to you. I ask that they also may be joined to us. Then the world will believe that you have sent me.

bwe@John:18:1 @ When Jesus had finished saying this, he and his disciples went through the valley called Kidron. There was a garden with trees. He and his disciples went into the garden.

bwe@John:18:2 @ Jesus had gone to this place often with his disciples, so Judas knew where the place was. He was the one who gave Jesus over to the people who hated him.

bwe@John:18:9 @ So his words came true. He had said, I did not lose one of those you gave me.

bwe@John:18:10 @ Simon Peter had a long knife or sword. He took it out and hit the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. The servants name was Malchus.

bwe@John:18:14 @ This was the same Caiaphas that had talked to the leaders of the Jews. He had said, It is better for one man to die for the people.

bwe@John:18:17 @ The servant at the door said to Peter, Are you one of this mans disciples too? Peter said, No, I am not!

bwe@John:18:19 @ The high priest then asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching.

bwe@John:18:22 @ When he had said this, one of the officers who stood there hit Jesus. He said, Is that the way you answer the high priest?

bwe@John:18:25 @ Simon Peter stayed by the fire and stood warming himself. So the people said to him, Are you not one of his disciples also? He said, No, I am not!

bwe@John:18:29 @ Pilate went out to the Jewish leaders and said, What complaint do you bring against this man?

bwe@John:18:32 @ So this is the way the words of Jesus came true. He had said how he was going to die.

bwe@John:18:36 @ Jesus answered him, I am not a king in this world. If I were, my people would fight so that I would not be given to the Jews. But I am not a king in this world.

bwe@John:18:38 @ Pilate said, What is truth? When he had said this, he went out to the Jews again. He told them, I find nothing wrong in this man.

bwe@John:18:40 @ Then they all shouted again, Not this man, but Barabbas! Barabbas was a man who had stolen things.

bwe@John:19:4 @ Then Pilate went out to the people again and said to them, See, I bring the man before you. This is to show you that I find nothing wrong in him.

bwe@John:19:5 @ Then Jesus came out. He had the crown of thorns on his head and had the red gown on him. Pilate said, Here is the man!

bwe@John:19:12 @ After that Pilate tried to let Jesus go free. But the Jews shouted, If you let this man free, you are not Caesars friend! Anyone who makes himself a king is fighting against Caesar!

bwe@John:19:13 @ When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out. Then Pilate sat on the bench where the judge sits. The place was called the Street of Stone. The Jews called it Gabbatha.

bwe@John:19:17 @ They took Jesus and led him away. Jesus went out carrying his own cross. They went to a place which the Jews called Golgotha. That means the place of the skull bone.

bwe@John:19:20 @ Many of the Jews read this sign. The place where Jesus was nailed to a cross was near the city. The sign was written in the Jewish, Greek, and Latin languages.

bwe@John:19:21 @ Then the chief priests among the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, "The King of the Jews," but write, "This man said he is King of the Jews."

bwe@John:19:23 @ When the soldiers had nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his clothes. They divided them into four parts and gave each soldier one part. Then they took his coat. It was not sewn together but the cloth was all made in one piece from the top to the bottom.

bwe@John:19:24 @ So the soldiers said to one another, We will not tear this. But let us gamble for it. What the holy writings say came true. They say, They divided my clothes among them. They gambled for my coat. That is what the soldiers did.

bwe@John:19:25 @ Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mothers sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

bwe@John:19:26 @ Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near. He said to his mother, Woman, see your son!

bwe@John:19:27 @ And he said to the disciple, See your mother! From that time on, that disciple took her to live in his own home.

bwe@John:19:30 @ Jesus took the wine. Then he said, It is finished. And he bowed his head and died.

bwe@John:19:33 @ When they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead already. So they did not break his legs.

bwe@John:19:36 @ What the holy writings say came true. They say, Not one of his bones shall be broken.

bwe@John:19:38 @ A man named Joseph, from the town of Arimathea, was a disciple of Jesus. But he did not say so because he was afraid of the leaders of the Jews. After all this had happened, he went to Pilate. He asked him to let him take Jesus body away. Pilate let him. So he came and took his body.

bwe@John:20:9 @ Until this time they did not understand the holy writings where it says, He must rise from death.

bwe@John:20:14 @ When she had said this, she turned around. She saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

bwe@John:20:20 @ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

bwe@John:20:22 @ When he had said this, he breathed on them and said, Receive the Holy Spirit.

bwe@John:20:25 @ The other disciples told him about it. They said, We have seen the Lord! Thomas said, I will not believe unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands. I will not believe unless I put my finger on the mark and feel his side with my hand.

bwe@John:20:26 @ Then eight days later his disciples were in the house again. This time Thomas was with them. The doors were shut. Then Jesus came and stood there with them. He said to them, Peace to you!

bwe@John:20:30 @ Jesus did many other big works when he was with the disciples. They are not written in this book.

bwe@John:20:31 @ But these things are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. And when you believe in his name, then he will give you power to live.

bwe@John:21:1 @ The next time the disciples saw Jesus was at the Sea of Tiberias <FI>Galilee<Fi>. This is how Jesus showed himself to them.

bwe@John:21:7 @ That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord! As soon as Simon Peter heard it was the Lord, he put on his coat and his belt. He had taken off some clothes to work. Then he jumped into the water.

bwe@John:21:14 @ This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after he had risen from death.

bwe@John:21:19 @ Jesus said this to show how Peter would die and make Gods name great. When he had finished saying this, he said to him, Come and follow me!

bwe@John:21:21 @ When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, Lord, what about this man?

bwe@Acts:1:3 @ In many ways he proved to them that he was living again after his terrible death. For forty days they often saw him. Then he told them things about Gods kingdom.

bwe@Acts:1:9 @ When Jesus had said this, he went up. They watched him going. Then a cloud hid him, and they did not see him any more.

bwe@Acts:1:17 @ Judas was one of us. He had his part of the work to do. (

bwe@Acts:1:18 @ Judas received money for the wrong thing he did. He bought a field with the money and fell on his face. His belly burst open and all his insides came out.

bwe@Acts:1:19 @ All the people who live in Jerusalem know about this. In their language they named the field Akeldama, which means The Field of Blood.)

bwe@Acts:1:20 @ The book of Psalms says, "His house must be empty. No one may live in it." And it also says, "Someone else must do his work."

bwe@Acts:1:24 @ Then the people talked to God. They said, Lord, you know what is in everybodys heart. Show us which of these two men you have chosen to have a part in this work and to be an apostle. For Judas left this work and went to the place where he belonged.

bwe@Acts:2:6 @ Many people came together when they heard the apostles speaking. They did not know what to think. Everyone heard someone speaking in his own language.

bwe@Acts:2:12 @ They were all very much surprised and could hardly believe it. What does this mean? they asked each other.

bwe@Acts:2:22 @ You men of Israel, listen to this. God showed you that he was pleased with this man, Jesus of Nazareth. He proved it by the big works and the wonderful signs which he did by Jesus right here among you people. And you yourselves know it.

bwe@Acts:2:23 @ This same Jesus was given up. You let bad men take him. You let them nail him to a cross and kill him. This is just the way God had planned it. He knew how it would happen. But God raised him back to life. He set him free from the pain of death. Death could not hold him.

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:2:30 @ He was a prophet. He knew that God had promised him that someone born of his family would sit on his chair to rule. That one was Christ.

bwe@Acts:2:31 @ David knew what would happen. So he said that Christ would be raised from death. Christ was not left in the grave. His body was not spoiled. David said all this before it ever happened.

bwe@Acts:2:32 @ And now we all saw it. We are telling people that God raised this Jesus back to life.

bwe@Acts:2:33 @ God made him great by making him sit at his right side. God gave him the Holy Spirit as he had promised. So he sent this which you now see and hear.

bwe@Acts:2:36 @ So let all the people of Israel know this: God has made Jesus to be Lord and Christ. This is the same Jesus whom you nailed to the cross.

bwe@Acts:2:39 @ This promise is for you and your children and for all those whom the Lord our God calls, even though they are far away.

bwe@Acts:2:41 @ Then those who gladly received his words and believed were baptised. That same day about three thousand new believers joined them.

bwe@Acts:3:3 @ This man saw Peter and John ready to go into the temple. He begged them to give him something.

bwe@Acts:3:7 @ He took the mans right hand and raised him up. Right away his feet and ankles became strong.

bwe@Acts:3:8 @ He jumped to his feet and walked into the temple with them. He was so happy he jumped around and praised God.

bwe@Acts:3:10 @ And they knew that this was the man who sat begging at the temple gate which was called Beautiful. They were very much surprised at what had happened to him. They could hardly believe it.

bwe@Acts:3:12 @ When Peter saw this, he talked to the people. He said, Men of Israel, why are you so surprised at this? Do you think that we have power or are good enough to make this man walk? Why do you look at us that way?

bwe@Acts:3:13 @ The God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and of our fathers, has made his Son Jesus great. You gave him up to Pilate. You did not want to believe who he was. You did not want him back when Pilate agreed to let him go free.

bwe@Acts:3:16 @ This man whom you see and know, believed in the name of Jesus Christ. This mans faith in that name has healed him. Yes, believing in Jesus Christ has made him well here in front of you all.

bwe@Acts:3:18 @ But in this way God did what he had told us would happen. Through all the prophets he had told us that Christ would suffer.

bwe@Acts:3:21 @ But he must wait in heaven until the time when all things will be made new again as they were at first. By his holy prophets God spoke of all this from the beginning.

bwe@Acts:3:23 @ And everyone who does not obey that Prophet will be cut off from his people altogether."

bwe@Acts:3:26 @ God raised up and sent his Son to you first to bless you. He blesses you when each one of you stops doing wrong things.

bwe@Acts:4:7 @ Peter and John were brought before them. They asked the apostles, By what power or in what name have you done this?

bwe@Acts:4:10 @ Well, let it be known by all the people of Israel. This man standing before you is healed by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He has done this. You nailed him to a cross, but God raised him from death.

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:4:17 @ But we do not want any more people to hear about it. So let us say to these men, "Take care! Never speak to anyone in this name again."

bwe@Acts:4:18 @ They called them in and said, Never speak or teach in this name again.

bwe@Acts:4:26 @ The kings of the earth joined their forces. And the rulers met together against the Lord and his Christ."

bwe@Acts:4:27 @ It is true that Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with Jews and those who were not Jews here in this city. They met to make secret plans against your holy Son Jesus, whom you made Christ.

bwe@Acts:4:32 @ All the believers were one in heart and mind. Not one of them said, This is mine. But everything they had was for the use of all.

bwe@Acts:5:1 @ A man named Ananias and his wife, Sapphira, sold a field. He brought some of the money to the apostles. But he kept the rest of it. His wife knew what he had done.

bwe@Acts:5:4 @ As long as you had the field, it belonged to you. When you had the money, you could do what you wanted to do with it. Why then did you plan to do a thing like this? You have not lied to men, but to God.

bwe@Acts:5:7 @ About three hours later, his wife came in. She did not know what had happened.

bwe@Acts:5:11 @ Then all the church people, and all the people who heard about this were very much afraid.

bwe@Acts:5:20 @ Go, said the angel. Stand in the temple and tell the people all about this new life.

bwe@Acts:5:21 @ When the apostles heard that, they went into the temple early in the morning and taught the people there. The high priest and his men came. They called a meeting of the court and all the leaders of the Jews. Then they sent men to the prison to bring the apostles out.

bwe@Acts:5:24 @ When the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard this, they did not know what to think. We wonder what will come from all this, they thought.

bwe@Acts:5:27 @ So they brought them in and put them before the court. The high priest asked them, Did we not tell you that you must never teach again in this name? But here you are, teaching people all over Jerusalem in this name. You are trying to put on us the blame for this mans death.

bwe@Acts:5:31 @ God has made him great at his right side. He has made him leader and Saviour. He has done this so that the people of Israel may stop doing wrong things and be forgiven.

bwe@Acts:5:33 @ When the judges heard this, they were very, very angry and wanted to kill them.

bwe@Acts:5:36 @ Before this time, there was a man named Theudas. He tried to make people believe that he was a great man. He had about four hundred followers. He was killed, and all of his followers were scattered, and the whole thing ended.

bwe@Acts:5:37 @ Then after that, at tax time, another man named Judas from Galilee made trouble. Many people followed him. He also was killed and all of his followers were scattered. 38,

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:6:4 @ But we ourselves will keep on talking with God and telling his word.

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:6:10 @ But they could not say anything against his wise words and the Spirit by whom he spoke.

bwe@Acts:6:13 @ They brought in the men who told lies about him. They said, This man is always saying wrong things about this holy place and the laws.

bwe@Acts:6:14 @ We have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will break down this place and that he will change the law which Moses gave us.

bwe@Acts:6:15 @ Then all the judges who sat in the court looked at him and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

bwe@Acts:7:1 @ Then the high priest asked, Is this true?

bwe@Acts:7:4 @ Then Abraham came out of the country of the Chaldeans and lived for a while in the country of Haran. After his father died, God led him from there to this country where you are living now.

bwe@Acts:7:5 @ But God did not give any of the land to Abraham, not even a small part. But he promised that the land would belong to him. After him it would belong to his children, even though he did not have a child then.

bwe@Acts:7:6 @ This is what God told Abraham. He told him that his children would travel and live in another land. They would be slaves to the people there. They would have a hard time for four hundred years.

bwe@Acts:7:10 @ He took him out of all his troubles. He blessed him and made him wise in the eyes of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. Pharaoh made him president in Egypt and a ruler over all the people of his house.

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:7:12 @ Then Jacob heard that there was food in Egypt. He sent his sons on their first trip to buy some. They were our fathers of long ago.

bwe@Acts:7:13 @ The second time they went, Joseph told his brothers who he was. And Pharaoh found out who Josephs family was.

bwe@Acts:7:14 @ Then Joseph sent for Jacob his father and all the family to come. There were seventy-five people.

bwe@Acts:7:19 @ This king was not kind to our fathers but he gave them a hard time. They had to put their babies outside to die.

bwe@Acts:7:20 @ Moses was born during that time. He was a very fine baby. For three months he was raised in his own fathers home.

bwe@Acts:7:23 @ When he was forty years old he decided to visit his own family, the people of Israel.

bwe@Acts:7:25 @ He thought his people would know that God wanted him to make them free. But they did not understand.

bwe@Acts:7:26 @ The next day he saw two of his own people fighting and he wanted to make peace. "You are brothers," he said. "Why are you fighting?"

bwe@Acts:7:27 @ But the one who was fighting his neighbour pushed Moses away. He said, "Who made you our ruler and our judge?

bwe@Acts:7:35 @ This is the same Moses the people would not accept when they said, "Who made you our ruler and our judge?" This is the one God sent to be their ruler and to make them free when he spoke through the angel in the small tree.

bwe@Acts:7:37 @ This is the same Moses who said, "God will raise up one of your brothers to be a prophet, as he did me. Listen to him."

bwe@Acts:7:38 @ This is the same Moses who was with Gods people in the wilderness at the hill called Mount Sinai. He was with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers of long ago.It was he who received the words of life to give to us.

bwe@Acts:7:40 @ They said to Aaron, "Make gods to lead us. We do not know what has happened to this Moses who brought us out of Egypt."

bwe@Acts:7:41 @ They made a young cow at that time and gave sacrifices to this god which was not the true God. They were very happy. What they had made pleased them.

bwe@Acts:7:45 @ Our fathers brought that tent with them when they came to this country. Joshua was their leader. God put aside the people who lived here first. Our fathers kept that tent with them until the time of David.

bwe@Acts:7:60 @ Then he kneeled down and said in a loud voice, Lord, do not punish them for this wrong thing they are doing, After he said this, he died.

bwe@Acts:8:10 @ And all the people, young and old, listened to him. They said, This man is a big power of God.

bwe@Acts:8:11 @ He had fooled them for a long time with his work as a witch. That is why they listened to him.

bwe@Acts:8:19 @ He said, Give me this power, too, so that anyone on whom I put my hands will receive the Holy Spirit.

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:8:28 @ Now he was on his way back. He sat in his carriage reading from the book which was written long ago by Isaiah, the prophet of God.

bwe@Acts:8:32 @ This is what he was reading: He was led as a sheep to be killed. A lamb says nothing while its wool is being cut, so he also says nothing.

bwe@Acts:8:33 @ He was put down very low. He was not allowed to have a proper trial. He had no children to follow after him. For his life is taken from the earth.

bwe@Acts:8:39 @ When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away. The man did not see him again, but he went on his way and was very happy.

bwe@Acts:9:2 @ He asked him for letters to take to the meeting places at Damascus. In this way he was given the power to catch any men or women disciples. He could tie them and bring them back to Jerusalem.

bwe@Acts:9:3 @ He went on his way. All at once, near the city of Damascus, a light from the sky shone around him.

bwe@Acts:9:8 @ Saul got up off the ground. When he opened his eyes, he was blind. They took his hand and led him to Damascus.

bwe@Acts:9:12 @ In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming to him. He has seen him put his hands on him so that he may see again.

bwe@Acts:9:13 @ Then Ananias replied, Lord, often I have heard of this man. He has brought much trouble to your people at Jerusalem.

bwe@Acts:9:14 @ The chief priests have given him power in this city to put into prison all those who call on your name.

bwe@Acts:9:17 @ Then Ananias went. He went into the house and put his hands on Saul. He said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus came to you on the road while you were coming here. He has sent me to you so that you may see again, and that you may be filled with the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Acts:9:21 @ All the people who heard him were surprised. They said, This man killed the people who called on Jesus name in Jerusalem. He came here to catch them and tie them and take them to the chief priests!

bwe@Acts:9:33 @ There he saw a man named Aeneas who was sick. He could not stand up. He had been on his bed for eight years.

bwe@Acts:9:42 @ All over Joppa people heard about this. Many people believed on the Lord.

bwe@Acts:10:1 @ In Caesarea lived a man named Cornelius. He was a big captain in the army. His soldiers were called the Italian Group.

bwe@Acts:10:2 @ He was a good man. He and all the people of his house obeyed God. He gave many gifts to the poor. He always talked with God.

bwe@Acts:10:6 @ He is staying with Simon, the man who makes skins into leather. His house is by the sea. Peter will tell you what you should do.

bwe@Acts:10:7 @ When the angel which spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his house servants. He also called one of the soldiers who believed in God and who always helped him.

bwe@Acts:10:8 @ He told them carefully all about his vision. Then he sent them to Joppa.

bwe@Acts:10:16 @ This happened three times. Then the thing was taken up right away into the sky.

bwe@Acts:10:17 @ I have seen a strange thing, Peter said to himself. I wonder what it all means. He was thinking about all this. And the men whom Cornelius sent had asked the way to Simons house. Now they stood at the gate.

bwe@Acts:10:18 @ Is this where Simon Peter is staying? they called.

bwe@Acts:10:22 @ They answered, God sent a holy angel to Cornelius. He told him to call you to his house and hear what you have to say. Cornelius is a captain in the army. He is a good man. He does what is right and obeys God. All the Jews speak well of him.

bwe@Acts:10:23 @ Peter said, Come in. He had them stay as his guests. The next day he and some of the Christian brothers from Joppa went with the men.

bwe@Acts:10:24 @ The day after that, they reached Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them. He had called his family and close friends together.

bwe@Acts:10:25 @ Peter was about to enter the house. Cornelius met him. He kneeled down at his feet and worshipped him.

bwe@Acts:10:30 @ Cornelius answered, Four days ago, it was just at this time, three oclock. I was in my house talking with God. I had not eaten any food. A man stood in front of me wearing shining clothes.

bwe@Acts:10:32 @ Send men to Joppa to call for Simon Peter. He is staying with Simon, the man who makes skins into leather. His house is by the sea."

bwe@Acts:10:43 @ All the prophets tell about him. They say, "Everyone who believes in him will have his wrong ways forgiven through his name."

bwe@Acts:10:44 @ While Peter was saying this, the Holy Spirit came on all those who heard the message.

bwe@Acts:11:10 @ This happened three times. Then everything was taken up into the sky again.

bwe@Acts:11:13 @ He told us that he had seen Gods angel standing in his house. The angel said to him, "Send men to Joppa to call Simon whose other name is Peter.

bwe@Acts:11:17 @ God gave then the same gift as he gave to us who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. If God gave them this gift, how could I stop him? I am only a man.

bwe@Acts:11:18 @ When the people heard this, they were satisfied. They praised God saying, God has allowed the people who are not Jews to turn to him and live.

bwe@Acts:11:22 @ The people in the Jerusalem church heard this news. They sent Barnabas to go to Antioch.

bwe@Acts:11:28 @ One of them named Agabus stood up. He told them the Spirit had shown him that much trouble would come to all the world. There would not be much food for the people. (This trouble came when Claudius Caesar was ruler.)

bwe@Acts:12:3 @ He saw that this pleased the leaders of the Jews, so he caught Peter also. This happened at the Jewish feast which they had each year to remember leaving Egypt. (It was called the Passover Feast.)

bwe@Acts:12:7 @ An angel from the Lord came to him and a light shone in the prison. He hit Peters side and woke him up. Be quick, he said. Get up! His chains fell off his hands.

bwe@Acts:12:11 @ When Peter came to himself, he said, Now I know truly that the Lord has sent his angel. He has saved me from Herod and from all that the Jewish leaders are hoping will happen to me.

bwe@Acts:12:12 @ And when he thought about this, he went to Marys house. Mary was John Marks mother. Many people were meeting there, talking to God <FI>about Peter<Fi>.

bwe@Acts:12:15 @ They said, You are crazy. But she kept on saying that Peter was really there. Then they said, It must be his angel.

bwe@Acts:12:17 @ He put out his hand for them to be quiet. Then he told them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, Tell James and the brothers about this. Then he went away to another place.

bwe@Acts:12:20 @ Now Herod was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. But they got Blastus to speak to the king for them. Blastus was one of the men who worked in the kings house. They came to Herod together. They wanted to make peace with him because their country got its food from his country.

bwe@Acts:12:21 @ On a certain day Herod put on his kings robes and sat on his chair and made a speech.

bwe@Acts:13:7 @ This witch-doctor was with Sergius Paulus, the ruler of the country. Sergius Paulus was a wise man. He wanted to hear Gods word, so he called for Barnabas and Saul.

bwe@Acts:13:10 @ You son of the devil! he said. You do nothing but tell lies and make much trouble. You hate everything that is right. The Lords way is right. Will you not stop spoiling his way?

bwe@Acts:13:11 @ See now, the Lords hand is upon you. You will be blind and will not be able to see the sun for a while. And right then something like a dark cloud came over Elymas eyes. He went around begging someone to take his hand and lead him.

bwe@Acts:13:13 @ Paul and his friends left Paphos in a boat. They went to the town of Perga in the district of Pamphylia. There John left them and went back to Jerusalem.

bwe@Acts:13:16 @ Then Paul stood up and put out his hand. He said, Men of Israel and you who worship and fear God, please listen to me.

bwe@Acts:13:17 @ The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers. He made the people into a large tribe when they were strangers in the land of Egypt. God brought them out of Egypt by his power.

bwe@Acts:13:22 @ Then God took him away. He made David king over them. This is what God said about him, "David, Jesses son, is the kind of man I love. He will do all that I want him to do."

bwe@Acts:13:23 @ God has given Israel a Saviour from Davids family, as he promised to do. His name is Jesus.

bwe@Acts:13:25 @ When John was finishing his work, he said, "Who do you think I am? I am not the one. But wait, someone else will come after me. I am not good enough to untie his shoe strings."

bwe@Acts:13:26 @ Men and brothers, sons of Abraham, and all of you who worship God, the news of this way to be saved has been sent to us.

bwe@Acts:13:27 @ The people who live in Jerusalem and their rulers did not know who this Jesus really was. They did not understand the words of the prophets of God long ago which were read every Sabbath day. But even so, they did what the prophets had said they would do. They judged him.

bwe@Acts:13:32 @ And we are bringing you this good news. God made a promise to our fathers long ago. Now he has made his promise come true.

bwe@Acts:13:34 @ God raised Jesus from death. His body did not go back to the grave to be spoiled. Here is what God said about it. "I will give to you the blessings which I promised David."

bwe@Acts:13:36 @ As for David, he did the work God wanted him to do for the people in his time. Then, after that, he died. He was buried with his fathers. His body spoiled.

bwe@Acts:13:37 @ But God has raised one from death. His body did not spoil.

bwe@Acts:13:38 @ Men and brothers, understand this. It is because of this Jesus that we tell you your wrong ways will be forgiven you.

bwe@Acts:13:39 @ The law of Moses could not make you free. But this man makes you free. You will not be judged if you believe in him.

bwe@Acts:13:48 @ Those who were not Jews heard this. They were glad and they thanked God for his message. All those who had been chosen to live for ever believed.

bwe@Acts:14:3 @ Paul and Barnabas stayed there a long time anyway. They did not fear to talk about the Lord. The Lord proved that the message about his blessing was true. He worked through Paul and Barnabas. They did signs and wonderful things.

bwe@Acts:14:6 @ Paul and Barnabas found out about this. So they left quickly. They went to Lystra and Derbe in the district of Lycaonia and the country around.

bwe@Acts:14:8 @ At Lystra a man was sitting. He was not able to walk because he had no strength in his feet. He had never walked since he was born.

bwe@Acts:14:9 @ This man heard Paul speak. Paul looked at the man. He saw that the man believed he would be healed.

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:14:26 @ From there they went in a boat to Antioch. It was there that the people had given them over to Gods care. They had asked him to bless them in this work. Now they had finished the work.

bwe@Acts:15:3 @ So the church people sent them on their way. They passed through the districts of Phoenicia and Samaria. They told them that some who were not Jews were believing in God. This news made all the Christian brothers very happy.

bwe@Acts:15:14 @ Simeon has told us how God came the first time to the people who are not Jews. God chose some of them to belong to him and be his people.

bwe@Acts:15:15 @ This is what the prophets of God said long ago.

bwe@Acts:15:16 @ They said, "After this, I will come back and build up again the house of David which has fallen down. I will take the broken pieces and build a house again.

bwe@Acts:15:19 @ So now, this is what I think. We should not trouble those who are not Jews but who have turned to God.

bwe@Acts:15:21 @ Since the times of long ago there have been men who told about Moses in every city. They read his laws in the meeting places every Sabbath day.

bwe@Acts:15:24 @ We have heard that some of our people visited you and talked to you. They taught things that troubled you and made you believe wrong things. They said, "You must be circumcised like the Jews and keep the law." We did not tell them to teach you this.

bwe@Acts:15:35 @ Paul and Barnabas stayed there too. They taught the people and told them the Lords message. Many other men did this also.

bwe@Acts:15:39 @ The feeling about this matter was very strong between Barnabas and Paul, so they did not go together. Barnabas took Mark and went in a boat to Cyprus.

bwe@Acts:15:40 @ Paul chose Silas. The Christian brothers asked the Lord to bless Paul. Then he went on his way.

bwe@Acts:16:1 @ Then he came to Derbe and Lystra. A disciple named Timothy was there. His mother was a Jew, a believer, and his father was a Greek.

bwe@Acts:16:3 @ Paul wanted him to go with him. He circumcised him because all the Jews in those places knew that his father was a Greek.

bwe@Acts:16:12 @ From there we went to Philippi. This was the big city of the district of Macedonia. It was a free city. We stayed there for some time.

bwe@Acts:16:13 @ On the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the river. We thought this was a place where people met to talk with God. So we sat down and talked to the women who had come there.

bwe@Acts:16:16 @ One day we were going to the meeting place where people talked with God. We met a girl who had a bad spirit. She used to tell people what was going to happen. Her masters received much money when she did this.

bwe@Acts:16:17 @ This girl kept on following Paul and us. She was shouting, These men are servants of the High God. They are telling us how to be saved.

bwe@Acts:16:18 @ She did this for many days. This troubled Paul. He turned and said to the spirit in her, In the name of Jesus Christ, I say to you, come out of her! And the spirit came out at once.

bwe@Acts:16:19 @ Her masters saw that they had lost this way of getting money. They caught Paul and Silas and took them by force to the rulers in the court.

bwe@Acts:16:33 @ Paul and Silas had sores from the beating in prison. So that same hour of the night the guard washed them. Then he and all the people of his house were baptised.

bwe@Acts:16:34 @ He took Paul and Silas to his home and gave them food to eat. He and all the people in his house were very happy. They now believed in God.

bwe@Acts:16:38 @ The soldiers told this to the judges. They were very much afraid when they heard that Paul and Silas were Romans.

bwe@Acts:16:40 @ When Paul and Silas came out of prison, they went back to Lydias house. They saw their Christian brothers and talked to them. This helped the Christians to believe more strongly. Then Paul and Silas went on their way.

bwe@Acts:17:3 @ He proved these things from the writings. He said. It was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise again from death. And this Jesus, whom I am talking about, is the Christ.

bwe@Acts:17:7 @ Jason has taken them into his house. None of them obeys the laws of Caesar. They say there is another king named Jesus.

bwe@Acts:17:8 @ All the people and the rulers of the city became angry when they heard this.

bwe@Acts:17:12 @ Through this, many of them believed. Some of the leading women of the Greek people and some of the men also believed.

bwe@Acts:17:16 @ Paul was waiting for Silas and Timothy at Athens. He saw that the city was full of idols. His spirit was troubled about this.

bwe@Acts:17:18 @ There were some wise men who believed the teachings of Epicurius. They believed the teaching of other wise men called Stoics. Some of them began to talk with Paul. And some said, What does this talker have to say? Others said, He seems to be talking about new gods. This was because he was telling them about Jesus and how he was raised from death.

bwe@Acts:17:19 @ So they took Paul and brought him to a meeting at the hill called Areopagus. They said, We want to know what this new teaching is that you are talking about.

bwe@Acts:17:27 @ He did this so they would look for him. He wanted them to reach out and find him. But he is not far from each one of us.

bwe@Acts:17:31 @ God has set a day when he will judge the whole world in the right way. He has chosen a man to do this. He has proved to all people who the man is. He has raised him from death.

bwe@Acts:17:32 @ When the people of Athens heard that someone had been raised from death, some of them laughed. Others said, We want to hear you talk about this matter again some time.

bwe@Acts:18:1 @ After this Paul left Athens and went to the city of Corinth.

bwe@Acts:18:2 @ There he met a Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus. A short time before this he and his wife Priscilla had come from the country of Italy. They left Italy because Claudius the ruler had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. This was the big city in Italy. Paul went to the house of Aquila and Priscilla.

bwe@Acts:18:5 @ When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul felt in his heart that he must prove to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

bwe@Acts:18:6 @ But the people talked back to Paul. And they said wrong things about him. Paul shook his clothes and said to them, If you are lost, it is your own fault, not mine! From now on I will go to those who are not Jews.

bwe@Acts:18:7 @ So he left. He went to the house of a man named Justus who worshipped God. His house was next to the meeting place.

bwe@Acts:18:8 @ Crispus was the head ruler of the meeting house. He and his whole family believed in the Lord. Many of the people in Corinth heard and believed. And they were baptised.

bwe@Acts:18:10 @ I am with you. nobody will hurt you. I have many people in this city.

bwe@Acts:18:13 @ They said, This man is talking to the people. He is trying to make them worship God in a way that is against our law.

bwe@Acts:18:15 @ But this is a matter about words and names and about your own law. So you must go and take care of it yourselves! I will not judge such things.

bwe@Acts:18:17 @ They caught a man. His name was Sosthenes. He was the head ruler of the meeting house. They beat him in front of the judge, but Gallio did nothing about it.

bwe@Acts:18:18 @ Paul stayed there for many days. Then he said goodbye to the Christian brothers and went in a boat to the country of Syria. Priscilla and Aquila went with him. In the town of Cenchrea he cut his hair off. This was because he had made a promise to God.

bwe@Acts:18:24 @ A Jew came to Ephesus. His name was Apollos. He was born in Alexandria. He spoke with power and was able to explain the holy writings well.

bwe@Acts:18:25 @ This man had been taught the way of the Lord. He was strong in spirit as he talked to people. What he taught them about the Lord was true. But he knew only about the baptism of John.

bwe@Acts:19:5 @ When they heard this, they were baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus.

bwe@Acts:19:6 @ Paul put his hands on them. Then the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke in tongues of other lang-uages and spoke words from God.

bwe@Acts:19:9 @ Some of them were fixed in their minds and would not believe. They said, The Christian way is not good They said this in front of all the people. So Paul left them and took the disciples away. He talked and answered the questions of the people every day in the school of a man named Tyrannus.

bwe@Acts:19:10 @ This went on for two years, and all the people who lived in the province of Asia, both the Jews and the Greeks, heard the Lords word.

bwe@Acts:19:14 @ There was a Jew named Sceva. He was a chief priest. He had seven sons who did this.

bwe@Acts:19:17 @ When all the Jews and the Greeks at Ephesus knew about this, they all feared. And they had great respect for the name of the Lord Jesus.

bwe@Acts:19:21 @ After this, Paul decided he would go through Macedonia and Achaia and then to Jerusalem. After I have been there, he said, l must go to see the city of Rome also.

bwe@Acts:19:22 @ He sent Timothy and Erastus, two of his helpers, into Macedonia. But he himself stayed in Asia Minor for a while.

bwe@Acts:19:24 @ A man named Demetrius made things from silver. He made little silver houses like the big house of the idol-god Diana. He and other men got much money from this work.

bwe@Acts:19:25 @ Demetrius called them all together. He said, Men, you know that we get our money from this work.

bwe@Acts:19:26 @ Now you see and hear how this man Paul has talked. He has turned away many people in Ephesus. Not only that, but he has turned away the hearts of many people in almost all of Asia Minor. He says that things made by mens hands are not really gods.

bwe@Acts:19:27 @ This will spoil our work. Not only that, but people will not respect the house of the great idol goddess Diana any more. All the people in Asia and in the whole world worship her now. But they will despise her!

bwe@Acts:19:28 @ When they heard this, the men were very angry and shouted, Great is Diana of Ephesus!

bwe@Acts:19:33 @ The Jews pushed Alexander forward. Some of the people put him in front. He put up his hand and wanted to talk to the people.

bwe@Acts:19:41 @ When he had said this, he closed the meeting.

bwe@Acts:20:10 @ Paul went down stairs. He lay on him and put his arms around him. Do not fear, he said. He is alive.

bwe@Acts:20:28 @ The Holy Spirit has made you leaders over his people. Watch yourselves. Like one who takes care of his sheep, so you must take care of the church people. They are the Lords people. He gave his blood for them.

bwe@Acts:20:29 @ I know this, that there are people as bad as wild animals. After I leave you, they will come to you. They will trouble Gods people.

bwe@Acts:20:31 @ So then, watch and remember this. For three years, through the night and in the day, I told every one of you to be careful. I even cried as I told you.

bwe@Acts:20:32 @ And now, my brothers, I give you to God. I leave with you his word which brings blessing. That word is able to make you strong. It will give you your share in the good things of God promised by him. He gives these good things to people who are pure and holy.

bwe@Acts:20:36 @ When Paul had said this, he kneeled down and talked to God with them all.

bwe@Acts:20:37 @ They all cried much. They put their arms around his neck and kissed him.

bwe@Acts:21:11 @ When he came to us, he took Pauls belt. He tied his own hands and feet with it. Then he said, The Holy Spirit has told me that in the same way the leaders of the Jews in Jerusalem will tie the man who owns this belt. They will give him over to the people who are not Jews.

bwe@Acts:21:12 @ When we heard this, both we and the people there talked to Paul and begged him not to go to Jerusalem.

bwe@Acts:21:13 @ Then Paul answered, Why are you crying and making me sad like this? I am ready to be tied and also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

bwe@Acts:21:14 @ So when we saw that he would not change his mind, we stopped begging him. We said, May the Lord do what he wants to be done.

bwe@Acts:21:16 @ Some of the Christians from Caesarea went with us. One of them was Mnason, a man born in Cyprus. He was one of the first Christian believers. We stayed in his house.

bwe@Acts:21:28 @ They shouted, All you men of Israel, come and help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere not to respect our people. He says we need not obey the law or respect this temple. And what is more, he has brought Greek people into the temple. He has made this holy place unclean.

bwe@Acts:21:29 @ They said this because they had seen a man from Ephesus named Trophimus. He was in the city with Paul. And they thought that Paul had brought him into the temple.

bwe@Acts:21:34 @ Some of the crowd shouted one thing and some of them shouted something else. The captain could not find out what was true. The people were shouting too much. So he told his soldiers to take Paul into their army house.

bwe@Acts:21:40 @ So the officer let him talk. Paul stood on the steps and put up his hand. Then all the people were very quiet. He talked to them in the Jews language.

bwe@Acts:22:1 @ Paul said, Men, brothers, and fathers, listen while I tell you my side of this matter.

bwe@Acts:22:2 @ When the people heard him speak in the Jews language, they were even more quiet. Then Paul said, I am a Jew. I was born in the city of Tarsus in Cilicia. But I was raised here in this city. Gamaliel was my teacher. He taught me very well in the law of our fathers. I was trying hard to obey God, just as you all are today.

bwe@Acts:22:4 @ I troubled very much the people who believed this Way. I even killed them. I had men and women tied and put into prison.

bwe@Acts:22:5 @ The high priest and all the leaders know that this is true about me. They wrote letters for me to carry to the leaders of the Jews in the city of Damascus. I went to have the Christians there tied and brought to Jerusalem to be punished.

bwe@Acts:22:14 @ He said, "The God of our fathers has chosen you to know his will. He chose you to see the One who is right and to hear him speak.

bwe@Acts:22:25 @ When they had tied him with ropes, Paul said to the captain who was standing by, Is it right for you to beat a man who belongs to Rome without judging his case?

bwe@Acts:22:26 @ When the captain heard this, he told the commanding officer. He said, What are you going to do? This man is a Roman!

bwe@Acts:23:1 @ Paul looked at the members of the court and said, My brothers, I have done what I thought God wanted me to do, right up to this day.

bwe@Acts:23:2 @ Ananias, the high priest, said to those who were standing near Paul, Hit his mouth!

bwe@Acts:23:9 @ There was much shouting. Some of the clever men who were Pharisees got up. They said, We do not think this man has done wrong. Perhaps some angel or spirit really did speak to him.

bwe@Acts:23:13 @ There were more than forty Jews who made this secret plan together.

bwe@Acts:23:17 @ Paul called one of the officers and said to him, Take this young man to the commanding officer. He has something to tell him!

bwe@Acts:23:18 @ So the officer took him to the commanding officer. He said, Paul, the prisoner, called me. He asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.

bwe@Acts:23:21 @ But you must not do this. More than forty Jews are waiting for him. They have made a promise to themselves. They will not eat or drink until they have killed him. They are ready now and waiting for your agreement.

bwe@Acts:23:25 @ The officer wrote a letter to Felix like this:

bwe@Acts:23:27 @ This man was caught by the Jews. They were ready to kill him. But I came with my soldiers and took him away, because I found out that he is a Roman.

bwe@Acts:24:3 @ We are always very glad for this everywhere we go.

bwe@Acts:24:5 @ We have found this man to be a real trouble-maker. He talks to the Jews all over the world and causes them to disobey the laws. He is the leading trouble-maker of the Nazarene group.

bwe@Acts:24:10 @ The ruler made a sign for Paul to speak. So Paul said, I know that for many years you have judged matters for this people.

bwe@Acts:24:11 @ So I am happy to speak for myself. Not more than twelve days ago I went to Jerusalem to worship. If you ask the people, you will find this out.

bwe@Acts:24:14 @ But I myself tell you this. I worship the God of my fathers in the Christian way. They say this is not the right way. I believe everything that the law teaches. I believe everything that the prophets have written.

bwe@Acts:24:18 @ While I was doing this, they found me in the temple. I had made myself clean the way the law says to do. I did not have many people around me. I was not making trouble.

bwe@Acts:24:21 @ I did this one thing. I shouted while I was standing among them, "I am being judged today because I believe that the dead will be raised again."

bwe@Acts:24:22 @ Felix sent them away because he knew many things about the Christian way. He said, When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will know everything about this matter.

bwe@Acts:24:23 @ He said to the officer, Keep Paul in prison but let him have some freedom. Let his friends come to visit him and to do things for him.

bwe@Acts:24:24 @ Some days after that, Felix came with his wife Drusilla. She was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and listened to what Paul said about believing in Christ Jesus.

bwe@Acts:25:6 @ Festus stayed only eight or ten days more among them. Then he went to Caesarea. The next day he sat on his chair in the court and had Paul brought in.

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:25:24 @ Then Festus said, King Agrippa and all you men here with us, you see this man. All the Jewish leaders, both in Jerusalem and here, came together and talked about him. They shouted, "He must die!"

bwe@Acts:25:26 @ But I have no real complaint about him to write to my ruler. So I have brought this man before you all, and most of all before you, king Agrippa. When you have heard him, I hope I will have something to write about him.

bwe@Acts:26:1 @ Then Agrippa said to Paul, You may speak for yourself. So Paul put out his hand and began to speak.

bwe@Acts:26:7 @ All the people of our twelve tribes serve God faithfully day and night. They do this because they believe they will receive what he has promised. Because I believe this, king Agrippa, the Jewish leaders are talking against me.

bwe@Acts:26:10 @ I did this in Jerusalem. The chief priests gave me power. I put many of Gods people in prison. And when they were killed, I agreed to it.

bwe@Acts:26:26 @ The king knows about these things. I am not afraid to talk to him about them. I am sure that not one of these things happened without his knowing about it. This did not happen in secret.

bwe@Acts:26:31 @ They left the room and talked the matter over. They said, This man is not doing anything wrong for which he ought to be in prison or die.

bwe@Acts:26:32 @ Agrippa said to Festus, We could let this man go free if he had not asked to go to Caesar.

bwe@Acts:27:2 @ We got on a boat which was from the city of Adramyttium. This boat was going along the coast of Asia Minor. And so we went out to sea. A man named Aristarchus from the city of Thessalonica in Macedonia came with us also.

bwe@Acts:27:3 @ The next day we stopped at the city of Sidon. Julius was kind to Paul. He allowed him to go to see his friends so they could care for him.

bwe@Acts:27:8 @ We had trouble going along near the coast, but at last we came to a place called Fair Havens. This was near the town of Lasea.

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:27:23 @ I belong to God and worship him. Last night his angel stood before me.

bwe@Acts:27:35 @ When he had said this, he stood in front of them all. He took some bread and thanked God for it. Then he broke it and began to eat it.

bwe@Acts:27:44 @ Then the rest of you jump in and go on planks and other pieces of the boat. So in this way they all got to the land safely.

bwe@Acts:28:3 @ Paul gathered some sticks of wood. He put them on the fire. A bad snake came out of the heat and hung onto his hand.

bwe@Acts:28:4 @ The people of Malta saw the snake hanging on his hand. Oh, they said to each other. This man has no doubt killed someone. He did not die in the water, but it is not right for him to live.

bwe@Acts:28:7 @ The ruler of the island was a man named Publius. He owned some of the land there. He took us to his house for three days and was very kind to us.

bwe@Acts:28:8 @ The father of Publius was sick with fever, and blood was coming from his body. Paul went to see him. He talked to God and put his hands on the man. He healed him.

bwe@Acts:28:9 @ After this, other sick people on the island came to Paul. And they too were healed.

bwe@Acts:28:22 @ But we want to hear from you what you think. We know that people everywhere are talking against this Christian group.

bwe@Acts:28:28 @ Paul said, Therefore know this. The message that God will save them has been sent to those who were not Jews. They will listen to it.

bwe@Acts:28:31 @ He told them about Gods kingdom and taught them about the Lord Jesus Christ. He did this freely without fear. No one stopped him.

bwe@Romans:1:2 @ Through his prophets long ago God promised this good news to people, in the holy writings.

bwe@Romans:1:3 @ The good news was about his Son. He is Jesus Christ our Lord. He was a man born in Davids family.

bwe@Romans:1:4 @ He came alive from death. That showed he was Gods Son. He had Gods power. Gods Holy Spirit did all this.

bwe@Romans:1:5 @ This same Jesus Christ was kind to me. And he made me an apostle. I am sent in his name so that people in all nations will obey him.

bwe@Romans:1:7 @ I send greetings to all the Christians who live in the city of Rome. God loves you and has called you to be his people. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you. In their kindness may they give you peace.

bwe@Romans:1:9 @ God knows that I always talk to him about you. I worship him in my heart while I tell the good news about his Son.

bwe@Romans:1:13 @ My brothers, I want you to know that I have often planned to come to you. But something has stopped me until now. I planned to come so that I might see good things happen among you. I have done this in the other nations which are not Jewish.

bwe@Romans:1:14 @ This is something I must do for the Greek people and for all other people. I must do it for people who are wise and for people who are not wise.

bwe@Romans:1:17 @ The good news shows how God puts a person right. God puts a person right when that person believes in his Son and keeps on believing. The holy writings say, A person who is put right because he believes, will live for ever.

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:2:9 @ Every one who does what is wrong will have much trouble and a hard time. This will happen to the Jews first, then to those who are not Jews.

bwe@Romans:2:10 @ And every one who does what is good, will be made great. He will have honour and peace. This will happen to the Jews first and then to those who are not Jews.

bwe@Romans:2:16 @ This will be on the day when God judges the things men have kept secret. Jesus Christ will be the judge. That is part of the good news I tell people.

bwe@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision of the body is a good thing if you obey the law. But if you break the law, you are like a man who has not been circumcised with this mark of the Jew.

bwe@Romans:3:3 @ But some Jews did not keep his law. Does that mean that God cannot be trusted?

bwe@Romans:3:4 @ No, it does not mean that. God must be true, even if every man is not true. The holy writings say this about God: People will see that you are right in what you say. You will be without fault when you are judged.

bwe@Romans:3:22 @ God puts people right with himself when they believe in Jesus Christ. He does this for all who believe. They are all alike.

bwe@Romans:3:25 @ God gave him as a sacrifice. When people believe in him, his blood pays for the wrong things they have done. This shows that God is good and right. He was right when he forgave the wrong things that people did long ago.

bwe@Romans:3:26 @ God also shows that he is right now. He does this when he makes right any person who believes in Jesus.

bwe@Romans:4:4 @ When a person works, his pay is not a gift to him. His pay belongs to him.

bwe@Romans:4:9 @ Does God bless only people who have been circumcised? Or does he also bless those who are not? We say, because Abraham believed God, God called him a good man. His faith made him right with God.

bwe@Romans:4:13 @ God promised Abraham and his family that the world would belong to them. God did not make the promise because Abraham obeyed the law. But he made the promise because Abraham believed him and was put right with God.

bwe@Romans:4:18 @ Abraham believed and hoped, though there was nothing to give him hope. He believed that he would become the father of many nations. God had told him this would happen.

bwe@Romans:4:19 @ He did not stop believing when he thought about his own body. It was almost dead. He was about one hundred years old. He did not stop believing when he thought about Sarah, even though she had never given birth to any children.

bwe@Romans:4:20 @ He did not stop believing Gods promise. He believed God very much. He did not praise God for his own faith, but for Gods promise.

bwe@Romans:5:5 @ We will not be disappointed by this hope. God has given us the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit has put Gods love in our hearts.

bwe@Romans:5:8 @ God shows his love for us in this way: Christ died to save us while we were bad people.

bwe@Romans:5:10 @ When we were enemies, the death of his Son brought us back to God. Now that we are made right with God, it is the life of Jesus that will save us.

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:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the wrong thing. Many people died because one man did a wrong thing. This is sure. God was very kind and he gave a free gift. This gift was given to many people because one man, Jesus Christ, did a very kind thing.

bwe@Romans:5:16 @ The free gift is not like the wrong thing one man did. Because of that one man people were judged. And they were punished. Because many people did wrong things, God gave his free gift and many people were made right with him.

bwe@Romans:5:17 @ One man did a wrong thing. And so death ruled over people because of that one man. God has been kind to people and given them his free gift. That gift is to make people right with God. People who take that gift will live and rule because of one man, Jesus Christ.

bwe@Romans:5:21 @ The wrong things people did ruled over them, and they died. Now God has been very kind. He has made people right with him. So now Gods blessing will rule over them, and they will live for ever. Jesus Christ our Lord has done this for them.

bwe@Romans:6:3 @ All of us have been baptised in water. This means we are joined to Christ Jesus. We were baptised into his death. Do you know that?

bwe@Romans:6:4 @ We were buried when he was buried because we were baptised into his death. Christ was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father. So we also must live a new life.

bwe@Romans:6:6 @ We know this is true. The old person we used to be was nailed to the cross with him, so that our bodies which do wrong things would die. Then we will no longer be like slaves to the wrong things we used to do.

bwe@Romans:6:16 @ If you give yourselves to be slaves and obey your master, you are not free. You are his slaves. Do you not know this: you may be slaves to wrong things? But you will not live for ever. Or you may be slaves to obey God. Then you will be made good people and live with him.

bwe@Romans:6:23 @ The reward that wrong ways give is to die. But the gift which God gives is to live for ever. Christ Jesus our Lord has done this for us.

bwe@Romans:7:1 @ My brothers, I am saying this to you people who know the law. Do you not know that the law is master over a person only while he lives?

bwe@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been made free from the law. We died, and so we are no longer slaves to the one who was our master. Now we are slaves to God in our new life. This new life is ruled by the Spirit. We do not work for the old written law.

bwe@Romans:7:24 @ I am a very sad man. Who will save me from this body that will make me die?

bwe@Romans:7:25 @ Thank God for Jesus Christ our Lord who will do it! So this is the way it is. In my mind I am a slave to do the law of God, but in my body I am a slave to do the law of wrong things.

bwe@Romans:8:3 @ God has done what the law could not do. The things people did made the law weak. God sent his own Son in a body of man. His body was like the bodies which others use to do wrong things. He sent him because people have done wrong things. And he judged the wrong things people have done in their bodies.

bwe@Romans:8:4 @ He did this so that we might be good people as the law said we should be. We are good people if we live the way the Spirit wants us to live, not the way our bodies want to live.

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:8:11 @ God raised Christ Jesus from death. Does Gods Spirit live in you? Then God will also give life to your bodies which die. He does this through his Spirit who lives in you.

bwe@Romans:8:17 @ If we are his children, God will give us the good things that children receive. He will give us these blessings along with Christ. He will give it to us if we suffer with Christ. If we suffer with Christ, we will also be made great with him.

bwe@Romans:8:18 @ I think that the troubles we have in this life are nothing when we think of the great things that we shall have.

bwe@Romans:8:23 @ And not the world only, but we ourselves also cry out. We have the first blessing God gives of his Spirit. But we cry out in our hearts. We are waiting for God to finish making us his sons. Then our bodies will be set free.

bwe@Romans:8:28 @ We know that God works out everything for the good of those who love him. They are the people who are part of his plan.

bwe@Romans:8:29 @ He knew all along that he would choose them. He chose them to be made like his Son. Then his Son would be the first one of many brothers.

bwe@Romans:8:31 @ So what shall we say about this? If God is on our side, who can be against us?

bwe@Romans:8:32 @ He did not keep his own Son, but gave him up for us all. Because he has given him to us, will he not also give us all other things?

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:9:1 @ What I say is true and Christ knows it is. I do not tell a lie. My heart tells me it is true. And the Holy Spirit knows this.

bwe@Romans:9:3 @ They are Jews. God gave them the right to be his sons. He showed them how great he is. He made agreements with them. He gave them the law. He told them how to worship him. He gave them the promises.

bwe@Romans:9:6 @ Not all the people in Abrahams family are his children. But the holy writings say, It is Isaacs family who will be called your family.

bwe@Romans:9:7 @ This means that not all who were born in Abrahams family are Gods children. God promised Abraham a son <FI>Isaac<Fi>. His children <FI>the Jews<Fi> are the ones that God called Abrahams true family.

bwe@Romans:9:8 @ For this is what God promised, About this time next year I will come and Sarah shall have a son.

bwe@Romans:9:11 @ When the children were not yet born, they had done nothing good or bad. God chooses the people he wants. He does not choose people because of what they have done. He chooses people who will answer his call. So he said to Rebecca, The older one will be a slave of the younger one.

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:9:21 @ God has a right to be very angry if he wants to be. He has the right to show his power. God was very angry with some people who deserved to die. And yet he waited a long time before he did anything to them.

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:10:5 @ Moses wrote this: A man who obeys the law will live by it.

bwe@Romans:10:10 @ A person believes with his heart, and he is made right with God. He speaks with his mouth and so is saved from his wrong ways.

bwe@Romans:11:1 @ So I ask, has God left his people? No, he has not! I myself am a Jew. I was born in Abrahams family. I belong to the tribe of Benjamin.

bwe@Romans:11:2 @ God has not left his people whom he knew from the first. Do you not know what the holy writings say about the prophet Elijah? He talked to God against the people of Israel.

bwe@Romans:11:13 @ Now I say this to you who are not Jews. I am an apostle to those who are not Jews, so I think highly of the work I have been sent to do.

bwe@Romans:11:22 @ See how kind God is. And see how hard he is. He is hard on those who have fallen. But God is kind to you if you go on following in his ways. If you do not, you also will be broken off.

bwe@Romans:11:25 @ My brothers, I want you to know something that has been a secret. Then you will not be proud of yourselves. The secret is this. Some Jews will have hard hearts until the right number of other people have come in.

bwe@Romans:11:27 @ This will be my agreement with them when I take away the wrong things they have done.

bwe@Romans:11:29 @ God does not change his gifts or his call to people.

bwe@Romans:12:2 @ Do not be like the people of this world, but have a new mind. Then you will prove for yourselves what God wants you to do. That will be good. It will please God. And it will be all right.

bwe@Romans:12:3 @ God has given me this gift. So I say this to every one of you. Do not think you are better than you really are. But think of yourself as you are. You are what you are because God has given you something when you believed.

bwe@Romans:12:20 @ But, If your enemy is hungry, give him food. If he is thirsty, give him a drink. When you do that, it will be as if you put a pile of coals from the fire on his head.

bwe@Romans:13:1 @ Every person must obey the rulers over him. Every ruler has his power from God. And the rulers are put there by God.

bwe@Romans:13:8 @ Do not have any debts, but love each other. Anyone who loves his neighbour has done all that the law says we should do.

bwe@Romans:13:9 @ The law says, Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not want things that belong to other people. These laws and others are all in this one law: Love your neighbour as you love yourself.

bwe@Romans:13:10 @ Anyone who loves his neighbour will do no wrong to him. So love does all that the law says to do.

bwe@Romans:13:11 @ In all this you know what a special time it is. It is time now for you to wake up from your sleep. The time when we will be saved is nearer to us now than when we first believed.

bwe@Romans:14:4 @ Why do you judge another persons servant? He stands or he falls before his own master. But he will stand because the Lord can give him power to stand.

bwe@Romans:14:5 @ One man thinks, This day is better than that day. But another man thinks, All days are alike. Every man should be sure in his own mind what he believes.

bwe@Romans:14:13 @ So we must not judge each other any longer. But it is better for us to judge this. Never put anything in a brothers way that will hurt him or that will make him fall down.

bwe@Romans:14:18 @ A person who does the work of Christ in this way pleases God. And people like him.

bwe@Romans:14:20 @ Do not spoil what God has done because you want some food. Everything is right. But it is wrong for anyone to eat anything if that will make his brother fall.

bwe@Romans:15:2 @ But each of us must please his neighbour. He must do what is good for him and what will help him do better.

bwe@Romans:15:8 @ What I say is this. Christ came to serve the Jews. He did this to prove that what God said was true. He proved that God kept his promises to the fathers.

bwe@Romans:15:9 @ He did this so that people who are not Jews would praise God because he is kind. The holy writings say, So I will praise you among the people who are not Jews. I will sing songs to your name.

bwe@Romans:15:28 @ I will finish doing this, and I will give them what the people send them. Then I will go by you on my way to Spain.

bwe@Romans:15:30 @ My brothers, I ask you to do this for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ and because the Spirit has given you love. Talk to God for me. And I also will talk to him.

bwe@Romans:16:13 @ Give my greetings to Rufus. The Lord chose him. Give my greetings also to his mother who is like a mother to me.

bwe@Romans:16:15 @ Give my greetings to Philologus, Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all Gods people who are with them.

bwe@Romans:16:17 @ Brothers, I ask you to do this. Watch the people who make quarrels. They make people do wrong because they teach things you have not been taught. Have nothing to do with those people.

bwe@Romans:16:22 @ (I, Tertius, send you Christian greetings. I am writing this letter for Paul.)

bwe@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius sends you greetings. I am staying in his house. The whole church that meets in his house sends you greetings too. Erastus sends greetings to you. He takes care of the money for the city. Our brother Quartus sends you greetings.

bwe@Romans:16:24 @ I ask our Lord Jesus Christ to show you his loving kindness. He will!

bwe@Romans:16:26 @ The books of the prophets have told this message. The God who lives for ever told the prophets to write this message so that all the people who are not Jews will believe and obey.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:1 @ I am Paul. God called me to be an apostle of Jesus Christ. He did this because he wanted to.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:3 @ May God show you his kindness and peace which come from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God never fails anyone. It is he who called you to belong to his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:11 @ My brothers, I say this because I have been told by some of Chloes family that you are quarrelling.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:12 @ This is what I mean. Some of you say, I belong to Paul. Others say, I belong to Apollos. And others say, I belong to Cephas.And yet others say, I belong to Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:17 @ Christ did not send me to baptize people, but he sent me to tell the good news. I must not tell it with the clever words of this world. That would not show what the death of Christ on a cross truly means.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where are your wise people, the men who know books, the men who like to talk about the things of this world? God has shown that the clever things of this world are nothing.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:23 @ But we tell people about Christ who died on a cross. The leaders of the Jews do not like this, and those who are not Jews laugh at it.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:24 @ But some have been called by God. They are chosen, both Jews and other people. Christ is Gods power to save them. This shows how wise he is.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:28 @ And God chose the small things, things that people despise. Yes, he chose even the things which seem to be nothing. He did this to destroy the big things.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:29 @ He did this so that people would not be proud before God.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:2 @ I made up my mind that I would talk about only one thing while I was with you. That one thing was Jesus Christ and his death on a cross.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:5 @ I did this so that you would not believe because of mans wise words, but you would believe because of Gods power.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:6 @ However, our words are wise words to those who really believe. But they are not the kind of wise words that the people of this world speak. They are not the kind of wise words that the rulers of this world speak. Those rulers will die.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:8 @ None of the rulers of this world knew about these things. If they had, they would not have killed on a cross the Lord who was full of Gods glory.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:10 @ God has shown these things to us by his Spirit. The Spirit understands everything, even the things that God has kept secret.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:12 @ We have not received the spirit of the world. But we have received the Spirit of God. In this way we may understand the blessings which God has freely given to us.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:1 @ My brothers, I could not talk to you at first as to people who have the Spirit of God. But I talked to you as people who have the spirit of this world. I talked to you as people who are very new-born, baby Christians.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:3 @ You still have the spirit of this world in you. You are jealous of each other and you are quarrelling. The spirit of this world is still in you and you live like people of this world.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:4 @ One says, I belong to Paul. Another says, I belong to Apollos. Does not that show that you have the spirit of this world?

bwe@1Corinthians:3:8 @ The man who plants and the man who waters are equal. Each one will be paid for his own work.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:10 @ I built the lower walls of the house because God showed me the best way to do it. Now another man builds on top of this foundation. Each man must take care how he builds on it.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:14 @ If the work a man did is not burned up in the fire, he will be paid for his work.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:17 @ God will punish anyone who spoils his house. His house is holy, and you are the house.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Do not be fooled. If any one of you thinks that he is wise in the things of this world, he should count himself as not being wise. Then he would really be wise.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:19 @ The things that look wise to the people of this world look foolish to God. The holy writings say, He catches the wise people in their own tricks.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:2 @ A man who takes care of things must be a person his master can trust.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:5 @ So do not judge me before it is time. Wait until the Lord comes. The things which have been kept hidden in the dark he will bring out into the light. He will show what is in peoples hearts. At that time God will tell each man how good his work is.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:6 @ My brothers, I have said these things about Apollos and myself so that you will learn from us to live the way the holy writings say. Then you will not be proud and say, This teacher is better than that one.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:1 @ I have heard a very bad report about you. I hear there are wrong sexual ways among you. Even the people who are not Jews do not allow wrong sex such as this among them. A man is living with his fathers wife!

bwe@1Corinthians:5:2 @ Can it be that you are still proud? This should make you very sad. The man who has done this should be put out of the church meeting.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:3 @ My body is not with you, but my spirit is. Just as if I were right there, I have decided what to do about the man who did such a thing as this.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:4 @ Do this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. When you meet together my spirit will be with you. Then, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, give this man over to Satan. Let Satan punish his body. By this the mans spirit may yet be saved when the Lord Jesus comes.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we shall judge angels? Then we should surely be able to judge things in this life!

bwe@1Corinthians:6:4 @ So if you have complaints about things in this life, why do you take them to those who are not church people?

bwe@1Corinthians:6:14 @ God raised up the Lord and he will also raise us up by his power.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Run away from every kind of wrong sex! Every other wrong thing which a person does is done outside of his body. But the person who uses sex the wrong way does a wrong thing to his own body.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But wrong sex is always a danger to us. So it is better for each man to have his own wife and each woman to have her own husband.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:3 @ The husband should give his wife what is right. So also, the wife should give her husband what is right.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:4 @ The wife does not have full right over her own body. But her husband has a right to it. In the same way, the husband does not have full right over his own body. But his wife has a right to it.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:6 @ I say you may do this. I do not say that you must do it.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:11 @ But if she does leave him, she must not marry again, or she must come back to her husband again. And the husband may not send away his wife.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:12 @ Here is what I say to other people. (This is my word, not the Lords.) Perhaps a Christian brother has a wife who is not a Christian. If she wants to stay with him, then he should not send her away.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:14 @ The husband who is not a Christian is made holy by the wife. And the wife who is not a Christian is made holy by the husband. If this were not so, then your children would not be holy. But they are holy.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:17 @ Only let me say this. Every man should go on living in the way which the Lord chooses for him. He should go on as he was when God called him to be a Christian. I say this to people in all the churches.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Here is what I say about those who are not married. (I have no law from the Lord about this. But here is what I think. You can trust me because the Lord has helped me.)

bwe@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But, if you marry, it is not wrong. And if a woman marries, it is not wrong. People who marry will have trouble in this life. And I want to keep you out of it.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:31 @ And people who are busy with things in this world should not be too busy. The world as we see it is passing away.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:33 @ But the man who is married thinks about the things of this world. He tries to please his wife.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:34 @ In the same way, there is a difference between the woman who is married and the one who is not. The woman who is not married thinks about the things of the Lord. She wants her body and her spirit to be holy. But the married woman thinks about the things of this life. She tries to please her husband.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:35 @ I say this to help you, not to make it hard for you. I want to show you what is good. I do not want anything to stop you from serving the Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:37 @ But the man who has made up his mind not to marry his woman will do well. That is, if he does not have to marry her, and is able to control himself, and if he is sure about it in his own mind.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So the man who marries his woman will do what is good. But the man who does not marry her will do better.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A wife may not leave her husband as long as he is living. But if he dies, she is free to marry any man she wants. Only this, he must be a Christian.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But I think that she is happier if she stays as she is and does not marry again. (I think too that I am saying what the Spirit of God wants me to say in this matter.)

bwe@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now here is what I say about food given to idols. We all know something about this matter. Yet knowledge makes us proud. Love is the real teacher.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:4 @ So here is what I say about eating food that has been given to idols or false gods. We know that an idol really is nothing in this world. There is only one true and living God.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:10 @ You know it is not wrong for you to eat these things. But if a weak Christian sees you eating in the idols house, he will also want to eat food that has been given to an idol. He will do what is against his own belief.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:12 @ In this way you do wrong to your brother. You hurt him because he is weak. And in so doing you do wrong to Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:7 @ What soldier pays for his own food when he goes to war? Who plants a garden and does not eat what grows in it? Who takes care of animals and does not get any of the milk?

bwe@1Corinthians:9:9 @ Moses wrote in his books of the law of God, Do not tie shut the mouth of an ox when it is treading the grain. Does God care about the oxen?

bwe@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Does he not say this altogether for our sakes? Yes, he said it for our sakes. There are people who plough the ground and beat the grain. They do this work because they believe they will have a part of the food for themselves.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:15 @ And I am not writing this to ask you to do these things for me. I would rather die! It is something I am proud of, and no one shall take it away from me.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:19 @ Even though I am no ones slave, yet I have made myself a slave to everyone. I have done this so that I might win more people to Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:20 @ When I was with the Jews, I lived like the Jews, so that I might win the Jews to Christ. I was not under the law. But I lived as if I was under the law of the Jews. I did this so that I might win to Christ those who are under the law.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:21 @ When I was with those who do not have the law of the Jews, I lived as if I did not have the law of the Jews. I did this so that I might win them also. Of course, I myself have laws. I follow the laws of Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:22 @ When I was with weak people, I lived like a weak person. I did this so that I might win weak people to Christ. I lived like all kinds of people to save some of them.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:23 @ I do all this for the good news, so that I also will have some of its blessing.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:25 @ Everyone who wants to show his strength must control himself in every way. They do it for a prize that will spoil. But what we do, we do for a reward that will never, never spoil.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:6 @ This teaches us not to want wrong things as they did.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:16 @ We ask God to bless the cup at the Lords supper. When we drink from this cup it means that the blood of Christ is for us all. We break the bread. When we eat this bread, it means that the body of Christ is for us all.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What do I mean by saying this? Is the food that has been given to idols really something holy? Or is an idol really something like God?

bwe@1Corinthians:10:20 @ No. What I mean is this. Those people give the food to bad spirits and not to God. I do not want you to have anything to do with bad spirits.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if anyone says to you, This food has been given to an idol, then do not eat it. Do not eat it because of the one who told you and because it might seem wrong. I mean it might seem wrong, not to you, but to him.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I want you to know this. Christ is the head of every man. The husband is the head of the wife. And God is the head of Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:4 @ Any man who talks to God or speaks words from God with his head covered brings shame on his head.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:7 @ A man does not need to cover his head because he was made like God is. Man is Gods glory. Woman is mans glory.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:10 @ She should show this by having her head covered, because of the angels.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:14 @ It would be a shame for a man to have long hair. Everyone knows this.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:16 @ Does anyone still want to quarrel about this matter? This is what we do. And this is what the churches of God do also.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:18 @ First, I hear that in the church meeting you divide yourselves into groups. I think this may be true.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:22 @ Do you not have your own homes where you can eat and drink? Do you have no respect for the church of God? Do you want to make poor people ashamed? What shall I say to you? Shall I say you are doing well? No, you are not doing well in this matter!

bwe@1Corinthians:11:23 @ The Lord gave me what I taught you. This is what it was. On the night when the Lord Jesus was sold to his enemies, he took bread.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:24 @ He thanked God for it. Then he broke it and said, Take this bread and eat it. This is my body which is broken for you. Do this so that you will remember me.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same way, after they had eaten, he took the cup. He said, This cup is the new agreement made by my blood. Every time you drink from this cup, do it to remember me.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:26 @ Every time you eat this bread and drink from this cup you tell about the Lords death, until he comes again.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:28 @ Each one must look into his own heart carefully. When he has done that, he may eat the bread and drink from the cup.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore, I want you to understand this. No person who has the Spirit of God ever curses Jesus. And no one can say, Jesus is Lord, if he is not controlled by the Holy Spirit.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:24 @ He did this so that the body would not be divided into groups, but all the parts would help each other. 26)If one part has trouble, then all the other parts are troubled too. If one part is praised, then all the other parts are glad with it.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I wish that you could all talk in different tongues. But I want even more that you should speak words from God for all to hear and understand. The person who speaks words from God is greater than the person who talks in tongues-unless he is able to tell the meaning of his words, so that he helps all the people in the church.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:19 @ But in the church meeting it is better for me to say five words with my mind, so that I will teach other people also. This is better than to say ten thousand words in a tongue of a different language.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:21 @ The holy writings say, I will talk to these people by strangers and by people who talk in strange tongues. And yet, they will not listen to me. This is what the Lord says.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:25 @ Such a person sees everything that has been hidden in his heart. Then he will kneel down and worship God. He will say, It is true. God is here among you.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:33 @ God does not want things to be out of order. He wants peace in the church meeting. In all the churches of Gods people, the women should be quiet in the church meetings. They must not be allowed to talk. They must obey. The holy writings say this also.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:37 @ Perhaps someone thinks, I am the one to speak words from God, or, I have the Spirit. Then know this, the Lord has told me to write these things.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:38 @ If anyone does not know this, then God will not know him.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:11 @ So it does not matter who gave the message, they or I. This is the message we gave, and this is the message you believed.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:15 @ If this were so, we would have been telling lies about God, because we said that God raised up Christ. He did not raise up Christ if dead people are not raised up.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:19 @ And if we have hope in Christ for our life in this world only, then we are the most unhappy of all people.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:23 @ But each one has his turn. Christ rose first. Then those who belong to Christ will rise when he comes again.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:25 @ Christ must rule until God has all power over all his enemies.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:32 @ I fought against wild animals at Ephesus. If I was thinking only of life on earth, why did I do this? If dead people do not rise, then we might just as well say, Let us eat and drink because we will die tomorrow.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:44 @ When it is put in the ground it is only a body for this world. When it rises it is a body for the spirit. If there is a body for this world, then there is also a body for the spirit.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:45 @ The holy writings say, The first man, Adam, was of this world! The last Adam <FI>Christ<Fi> is a Spirit who gives life.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:46 @ The body for the spirit does not come first. The body for this world comes first. Then comes the body for the spirit.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Listen! I tell you a secret. We will not all die, but we will all be changed. It will happen very quickly, as fast as one can shut his eyes. It will be when the trumpet or horn is blown the last time. Someone will blow the trumpet, dead people will rise, and they will never die again. We ourselves will be changed.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:52 @ This body which dies must become a body which will never die.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:53 @ When this body which dies becomes one which will never die, what the holy writings say comes true. It says, Death is overcome by victory.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:10 @ If Timothy comes to you, be good to him, so that his heart will not be troubled while he is with you. He is working for the Lord, just as I am.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:15 @ You know that Stephanas and his family were the first people in the country of Greece to believe the good news. They have made up their minds to help Gods people always.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:21 @ And I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:3 @ He helps us every time we have trouble. Then we are able to be strong and help other people every time they have trouble. We can do this with the same comfort that God gives us.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:5 @ When we have trouble, it is for your sake so that you will be helped and saved. When we are comforted, this helps you. Then you will stand strong when you have the same troubles we have.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:6 @ Our hope for you is strong. If you have the same trouble we have had, then you will also have the same comfort and help we have. This we know.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:8 @ Yes, we really felt our time had come to die. This was to make us trust, not in ourselves, but in God. He brings people back to life.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:13 @ Because I was sure of this, I wanted to visit you before. Then you would have had a double blessing.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:15 @ That was what I wanted to do. Now then, did I act as if I did not know what I wanted? When I make my plans, do you think I make them like a man of this world? Do I say Yes when I mean to say No?

bwe@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Silvanus and Timothy and I told you about the Son of God, Jesus Christ. His word was not Yes and No. It was always Yes.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:19 @ It is God who makes us stand strong with you in Christ. God has chosen us and put his mark on us.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:20 @ He has put his Spirit in our hearts. This is the first part of what we are to receive, and it proves that we will receive all God has promised.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:10 @ I have done this so that Satan will not get ahead of us. We know his tricks. of Troas to tell the good news of Christ, the door was open for me to work for the Lord.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:11 @ But my mind was troubled because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to the people there and went on to the country of Macedonia. Christ. And Christ leads us to victory every time. To know Christ is like a sweet smell. And God lets us carry that sweet smell of his truth everywhere.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:12 @ We are like a sweet smell to God. It is the smell of Christ we have. We have this sweet smell among the people who are saved and among those who are lost.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:2 @ You yourselves are our letter. This letter has been written in our hearts. All people can read it and understand it.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:4 @ We can say this because we trust in God. And we trust in God because of Christ.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:7 @ The old law that brought death was written on pieces of rock. There was a very bright light when God gave it to the people. The people of Israel could not look at Moses because his face was so bright. And even as they saw it, the light on his face was going away.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:12 @ Because we believe this, we do not fear.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:13 @ We are not like Moses. He put a cloth over his face so that the people of Israel would not see that the light from God was dying.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:18 @ All of us have no cloth over our faces. People can see that we have some of the bright and wonderful light that the Lord has. And we are becoming brighter and brighter, more and more like him. It is the Lord, the Spirit, who does this.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:1 @ God in his kindness gave us this work. So we do not give up.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:4 @ The god of this world has covered their minds so they cannot see. They cannot see with their minds the light of the good news of Christ. They cannot see how bright and wonderful Christ is. He is just like God himself.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:6 @ God said, Let light shine in the darkness. And he has let light shine in our hearts too. He gave us light that shows how bright and wonderful God is. We see this light when we look at the face of Christ.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:7 @ This is something of great value within us, but we are like pots made of earth and clay. This power is greater than any other power. But it comes from God, not from us.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:14 @ We know this. God raised up the Lord Jesus, and he will raise us up also with Jesus. He will bring us all to stand together before God.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:15 @ All this is happening for you so that the blessings of God will reach more people. Then more people will thank God. And this will make Gods name greater. gets weak, but our heart gets new strength day after day.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:16 @ The load of trouble we carry now is a little heavy. But this trouble is getting something great and wonderful ready for us which will last for ever.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:4 @ While we are in this house, we cry and are troubled. It is not that we want to move out of this house, but we want to move into the other one. Then this body which will die will be changed into one which will live.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:5 @ God is the one who has made us ready for this change. He has already given us the Spirit. This is the first part of what we are to receive, and it proves that we will get more.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:8 @ We feel sure that we will want to leave this body and go to live with the Lord.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:11 @ No, we are not praising ourselves again. But we are telling you this so that you may really be proud of us. Then you will be ready to answer people who are proud of themselves. They are proud of the things which can be seen.But in their hearts they have nothing to be proud of.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:14 @ He died for all, so that those who live would not live to please themselves. But they should live to please him who gave his life for them and rose again from death.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:16 @ So, if any man belongs to Christ, he is a new person. His old life has gone. You see, he has begun a new life.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:17 @ But it is God who has done all this. He sent Christ to make peace with us and to bring us back to himself. Now he has given us the work of bringing other people back to God.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:13 @ I say this as to my own children. You should love us with all your hearts. with those who do not believe. You and they are not equal. How can people who do right, work with those who do not obey God? How can light and darkness be in the same place?

bwe@2Corinthians:7:2 @ I do not say this to bring something against you. I have already told you that we love you very much. If we live or if we die, we will be together with you.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:10 @ See what happened. When you were sad, the way God wanted you to be, then you tried to do the right thing. You wanted to free yourself from wrong. You hated what is wrong. You were afraid. You wanted very much to do what is right. You stood for the right. You punished wrong doing. In every way you showed that you did right in this matter.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:12 @ And so we have been comforted. Besides this, we were even more happy to see how happy Titus was. All of you really made his heart glad.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:7 @ We remember how well you do in everything. You do well in believing, in talking, in knowing things, in trying your best, and in the way you love us. So now, do well in giving this gift.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:17 @ We are sending another brother with him. This brother has a good name in all the churches because he tells the good news.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:18 @ Not only that, but the churches have chosen him to travel with us as we take care of this gift. We are doing this so that the Lord will be praised. We want to help others.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:19 @ We do not want anyone to say that we have not done the right thing. So we are taking care of this big gift in the right way. 21We want to do what the Lord says is right, but also what people say is right.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:21 @ I want to say this. Titus is my close friend and he works with me. And about our other brothers, they have been sent by the churches. They bring praise to Christ.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:3 @ But I am sending these brothers so that what we have said about you will be true in this way. I want you to be really ready with the gift, just as I said you would be.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I thought it would be good to send these brothers to you first. They will get this gift ready which you promised. Then it will be ready like a gift, and not as if you were forced to give it.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Everyone should give what he wants in his heart to give. He should be glad to give it, and should not give it because he was forced to give. God loves a person who gives gladly.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:12 @ This gift of money will help to give Gods people what they need. It will also make many people thank God.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:13 @ This gift will prove something to them. They will praise God because you obey the good news of Christ. They will praise God because you have given this gift to help them and all the others.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:15 @ Thank God for his gift so great that no words can ever tell it all!

bwe@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I beg you, do not force me to talk hard words when I come. I have made up my mind to talk hard words against some people. They think we are living for the things in this world.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:3 @ Of course we are living in bodies made for this world. But we are not fighting for the things in this world.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:4 @ We do not use the things of this world in our fighting, but we use the power of God. This power can break down the walls where the enemy hides.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Surely you can see this. If one person is sure that he belongs to Christ, then he should see that we too belong to Christ just as he does.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:11 @ People like that should know this. When we come we will do what we have said in our letters.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But the snake fooled Eve by his trick. And I am afraid that your minds will be drawn away from a clean, pure love of Christ.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:6 @ Maybe I am not a good talker, but I surely know what I am talking about! Yes, we made this plain to you in every way in all things.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:10 @ Surely, the true word of Christ is in me. I will never stop being proud of this anywhere in Achaia <FI>Greece<Fi>.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:11 @ Why is this? Is it because I do not love you? God knows that I love you.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:12 @ And I will keep on doing what I am doing now. Some teachers are praising themselves. They say they are like us. By doing this I prove they are not like us.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:15 @ So it is not strange if his workers also try to make themselves look like Gods workers who do right. They will come to an end like the work they do! think that I am foolish. But if you do, then please listen to me as if I were foolish. I also want to do a little talking about myself.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:16 @ I am not talking like the Lord when I say this. It seems foolish to say so much about myself.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:22 @ Are they workers for Christ? (I talk like one who is not in his right mind.) I am a better worker. I have worked much harder. I have been in prison more often. I have been beaten many, many times. Often I have almost died.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a Christian man. Fourteen years ago he was taken up into the place where God lives. I do not know if he was in his body when he went or not. God knows if he was.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:3 @ I do know this. He was taken up into the place where God lives. And again I say, I do not know if he was in his body or not. God knows if he was.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:4 @ This man heard things which cannot be told. No person on earth can speak them.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:6 @ Now if I wanted to talk about myself, I would not be foolish. I would be telling the truth. But I will not say any more. This is why: I do not want anyone to think I am better than what he sees I am, or hears me teach. I want him to judge me only by what he can see in me and by what I say.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:8 @ I begged the Lord three times that this trouble might leave me.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:12 @ In what way did you not receive as much as the other churches? Only this! I did not trouble you to pay me. Forgive me for the wrong I did you!

bwe@2Corinthians:12:18 @ Am I saying all this just to you? Are we just trying to make ourselves look right to you? No, we say this before God and in Christ. And my dear people, I have done it all to make you better Christians.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:1 @ This is the third time I am coming to you. The holy writings say Any complaint must be proved by the words of two or three people.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:3 @ This will be the proof you want that Christ speaks through me. Christ is not weak when he deals with you. No, he shows his power among you.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:4 @ It is true that he was weak when he died on a cross. But now he is alive by the power of God. We are weak as he was, but we will also be alive as he is by the power God has. You will see this.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:9 @ We are glad to be weak, if you are made strong. And we ask God for this too, that you may become perfect.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:14 @ And to all of you I say, May the kindness and blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ be upon you. May God show you his love. May you all have the Holy Spirit with you.

bwe@Galatians:1:3 @ May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you with his loving kindness and give you peace.

bwe@Galatians:1:4 @ Christ gave his life to pay for the wrong things we have done. He did this to set us free from the wrong ways of this world. This is what our God and Father wanted him to do.

bwe@Galatians:1:5 @ All the praise for this belongs to God for ever and ever. Yes, it does!

bwe@Galatians:1:11 @ My brothers, I want you to know this. The good news which I told you is not mans good news.

bwe@Galatians:1:15 @ But God chose me to be an apostle before I was born. And he called me by his love.

bwe@Galatians:1:16 @ God wanted to show his Son to me so that I might tell people who are not Jews about him. I did not go and ask any other person about the good news.

bwe@Galatians:1:23 @ They only heard people say, This is the man who used to trouble us and he is now telling others to believe what he once tried to stop.

bwe@Galatians:2:1 @ Fourteen years later I went to Jerusalem again. This time I went with Barnabas and I took Titus with me.

bwe@Galatians:2:3 @ Titus was with me. He was not a Jew, but they did not force him to be circumcised <FI>have the mark of a Jew made on his body<Fi>.

bwe@Galatians:2:10 @ One thing they asked us to do was to help the poor Christians. I was very glad to do this.

bwe@Galatians:3:5 @ God gives you the Spirit. He does wonderful works among you. Does he do this because you obey the law? No, he does it because you heard the word of God and believed it.

bwe@Galatians:3:11 @ Now, you can see this. No man is called a good man by God because he obeys the law. The holy writings say, Those who are right with God shall live by faith.

bwe@Galatians:3:14 @ Christ Jesus did this so that those who are not Jews will have the blessing which Abraham had. He did this so that when we believe, we will receive the Spirit who was promised to us.

bwe@Galatians:3:16 @ God made his promises to Abraham and to his Son. The promise does not have the words, and to his sons, for that means many sons. But it says, and to his Son, and that Son is Christ.

bwe@Galatians:3:18 @ Do we get what God has promised us by obeying the law? If we do, then we are not getting it by his promise. But God gave it to Abraham by his promise.

bwe@Galatians:3:22 @ But the holy writings say it is like this. The whole world is in prison, kept there by the wrong things they have done. This was done so that people who believe in Jesus Christ would have the blessing. This blessing was promised to those who believe.

bwe@Galatians:4:1 @ Here is what I mean. When a man dies, his son is to receive his property. As long as the son is not grown up, he cannot have it. He has no more right than a servant, even though he really owns all the property.

bwe@Galatians:4:2 @ He still has people who take care of him and he must obey them until the time set by his father.

bwe@Galatians:4:3 @ So it is with us. Before we were grown up, we were like servants. We were just beginning to learn about the things of this world.

bwe@Galatians:4:4 @ But when the right time came, God sent his Son to make us free. He was born by a woman during the time when men had to obey the law.

bwe@Galatians:4:6 @ Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts. The Spirit calls out, Father!

bwe@Galatians:4:20 @ I wish I could be with you now, and not have to talk this way. But I am troubled about you.

bwe@Galatians:5:4 @ Some of you are trying to obey the law, so that God will call you good. If you do this, you have been cut off from Christ. You have lost the blessing of God.

bwe@Galatians:5:5 @ But we hope to be made right by believing in Christ. The Spirit helps us to do this.

bwe@Galatians:5:6 @ So if a man belongs to Christ Jesus, it does not matter if he is circumcised or not. He must show by his love that he believes.

bwe@Galatians:5:14 @ This one law is the whole law: Love your neighbour as you love yourself.

bwe@Galatians:6:4 @ Let every man test his own work. Then he will be proud of his own work. He will not be proud because he thinks his own work is better than someone elses work.

bwe@Galatians:6:5 @ Each man must carry his own load.

bwe@Galatians:6:7 @ Do not be fooled about this. God cannot be fooled. A man gets what he plants.

bwe@Galatians:6:11 @ (See, I am writing this to you in big letters with my own hand.)

bwe@Galatians:6:16 @ May all who live by this rule have peace. And may God bless them. They are the true people of Israel and they belong to God.

bwe@Ephesians:1:1 @ I am Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ. It was Gods wish for me to be his messenger. I send greetings to Gods people in the city of Ephesus, to those who believe in Christ Jesus.

bwe@Ephesians:1:5 @ Because he loved us, he planned that we should be his own children. It is through Jesus Christ that we are Gods children. That is the way God wanted it to be.

bwe@Ephesians:1:6 @ Praise him! His kindness is great and wonderful. We have been accepted by God through Jesus Christ, whom he loves so much.

bwe@Ephesians:1:7 @ Jesus Christ has given his blood <FI>died<Fi> to make us free. He has forgiven us for our wrong ways. We have been put right with God freely because of his great kindness.

bwe@Ephesians:1:8 @ He has given us blessing after blessing in his wisdom and understanding.

bwe@Ephesians:1:9 @ He has shown us the plan he had. This plan was what he wanted to do through Christ.

bwe@Ephesians:1:11 @ In and through Christ we will have a share in all that belongs to him. Long ago God chose us for this. And he makes things happen that he wants to do.

bwe@Ephesians:1:14 @ The Holy Spirit is the first part of what we are to receive from God. This proves that we will get all God has promised. Some day we shall have them all. Praise God! He is very great and wonderful. 15,

bwe@Ephesians:1:17 @ I ask him that you may understand these things in your hearts. I ask him that you may know what a great hope you have because God has called you. I ask him that you may know the rich and great blessings God has promised to his people.

bwe@Ephesians:1:18 @ I ask him that you may know the wonderful power he has to do things for us who believe in Christ. His power is very strong.

bwe@Ephesians:1:19 @ God used that power when he raised Christ from death and had him sit at his right side in heaven.

bwe@Ephesians:1:20 @ He is greater than any ruler, power, chief, or king. His name is greater than any other name, not only in this world, but in the world that will come.

bwe@Ephesians:1:22 @ The church <FI>all the people who believe in Jesus Christ<Fi> is his body. The church people have everything that Christ has. He is the One who is in everything everywhere.

bwe@Ephesians:2:5 @ We were dead because of the wrong things we had done. He has made us alive with Christ. You have been saved by his love and kindness.

bwe@Ephesians:2:7 @ He did this to show us in all times to come how much he can bless people and how kind he is. It was Jesus Christ who brought this kindness to us.

bwe@Ephesians:2:12 @ Remember you did not know Christ at that time. You were far away from the people of Israel. You had no part in the agreements which God promised to them. You had no hope and you were without God in this world.

bwe@Ephesians:2:15 @ In his own body Christ made an end of the law and its rules. He did this so that in him two peoples could become one. In this way, he made peace between us.

bwe@Ephesians:2:16 @ He did this so that by the cross he might bring both kinds of people back to God in one body. And by the cross he has stopped our hating each other.

bwe@Ephesians:2:20 @ Gods family is like a house and you are part of the building. The apostles and prophets are like the lower walls of the house and you are the building on this foundation. Jesus Christ is the big stone at the corner.

bwe@Ephesians:2:22 @ You too are a part of this house. God himself lives in this house by his Spirit.

bwe@Ephesians:3:3 @ He showed me what his plan was. And I have already written a little about it to you.

bwe@Ephesians:3:4 @ When you read this, you can understand why I know about his plan for Christ.

bwe@Ephesians:3:5 @ In the past, God did not tell his plan to people. But now the Holy Spirit has shown it to his holy apostles and prophets.

bwe@Ephesians:3:6 @ This is Gods plan. Those who are not Jews will also share in the blessings of God. They also are a part of the body of Jesus Christ. They also will receive the things God has promised in Jesus Christ through the good news.

bwe@Ephesians:3:7 @ God gave me the work of telling that good news. And he blessed me by his power.

bwe@Ephesians:3:9 @ God has blessed me so that I might tell all people plainly what his plan is. God, who made all things, did not tell anyone about his plan in all the times in the past.

bwe@Ephesians:3:10 @ Now he wants those who rule and have power in the sky to know how very wise God is. They will know this when they look at the church people.

bwe@Ephesians:3:11 @ This is what God has always planned to do. And he did it in Jesus Christ our Lord.

bwe@Ephesians:3:16 @ I ask him to make you very strong in heart by his Spirit. He has great and wonderful blessings and is able to do so because of the fullness of his glory.

bwe@Ephesians:3:21 @ God can do much more than we ask him to do, or we even think of. He does it by his power which is working in us. So, praise him in the church meeting in Christ Jesus. Praise him for ever and ever! May it be so!

bwe@Ephesians:4:10 @ The one who came down is the same one who went up higher than all the heavens. He did this so that he would be everywhere.

bwe@Ephesians:4:14 @ The body of Christ must grow so that we will no longer be like children. We are like children when we are pushed this way and that way. We change our minds every time people bring a different teaching. Some teachers teach the lies of men and fool people so that they believe wrong things.

bwe@Ephesians:4:15 @ We must say what is true and say it with love. In that way we will grow up in all things to be like Christ, who is the head of this body.

bwe@Ephesians:4:28 @ The person who used to steal must not steal now. But he must do some good work with his own hands. Then he will have something to give to the poor people.

bwe@Ephesians:5:1 @ So try to be like God, because you are his own dear children.

bwe@Ephesians:5:2 @ Love others as Christ has loved us. He gave his life for us, a sweet smelling offering and a sacrifice to God.

bwe@Ephesians:5:4 @ There should be no dirty talk, no foolish talk, no funny stories with a wrong meaning. This is not a good way to talk. But what you should do is thank God.

bwe@Ephesians:5:5 @ You know this. There are people who use sex wrongly, and who are always wanting what others have. No such a person has any place in the kingdom of Christ and of God. He is worshipping an idol.

bwe@Ephesians:5:23 @ The husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the church people. The church is his body and he saved it.

bwe@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church people. He gave his life for the church.

bwe@Ephesians:5:27 @ He gave his life for the church so that one day he can look at the church and see that the people are great and wonderful. The people of the church must have no dirty spot or wrinkle or any thing like that. But they are to be holy and good.

bwe@Ephesians:5:28 @ So husbands should love their wives as they love their own bodies. The man who loves his wife loves himself.

bwe@Ephesians:5:29 @ No one ever hated his own body. But he feeds it and takes care of it.

bwe@Ephesians:5:30 @ In the same way Christ takes care of the church because we are parts of his body.

bwe@Ephesians:5:31 @ The holy writings say For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother. He shall be joined to his wife, and the two of them shall be like one person.

bwe@Ephesians:5:32 @ This is a wonderful plan of God. I am speaking here of the plan about Christ and the church people.

bwe@Ephesians:5:33 @ However, each one of you should love his wife as he loves himself. And the wife should respect her husband.

bwe@Ephesians:6:1 @ Children, obey your parents as the Lord wants you to. This is the right thing to do. 2,

bwe@Ephesians:6:2 @ Respect your father and mother. This is the first law of God with a promise: So that all will be well with you, and that you may live long on earth.

bwe@Ephesians:6:9 @ Last of all, I say this. Be strong in the Lord and use the strength he gives.

bwe@Ephesians:6:11 @ We are not fighting against people of flesh and blood. But we are fighting against rulers and powers whom we cannot see. We are fighting against those who control the darkness of this world, and against bad spirits who have power in the air.

bwe@Ephesians:6:17 @ Always talk to God in the Spirit. Talk to him about everything and ask him for what you need. Put your mind on what you are saying, asking God to help all his people.

bwe@Philippians:1:7 @ I have a right to feel this way about you all because I love you very much. God is good to me and you all share in this goodness. You share in my troubles in prison. You share in my work of staying true to the good news of Jesus.

bwe@Philippians:1:20 @ I look forward to this very much and hope that I will not be ashamed at all. But I want to be very strong. I want to bring honour to Christ now as I always have. I can do this if I live or die.

bwe@Philippians:1:25 @ Because I am sure of this, I know that I will stay on and be here with you all. That will help you to be better Christians and happy ones.

bwe@Philippians:2:7 @ He gave this up and became a servant. He was born a baby.

bwe@Philippians:2:11 @ Everyone will admit that Jesus Christ is Lord. They will praise God the Father for this.

bwe@Philippians:2:12 @ My dear people, you have always obeyed me. God has saved you from wrong ways. Now show this by the good things that you do. You must live that way, not only when I am with you, but much more now that I am not with you. Think of how wrong it will be if you do not. Try hard to work out how to do it.

bwe@Philippians:2:17 @ The life you live because you believe in God is like a sacrifice. Even if I am killed, it will be like wine which people pour on a sacrifice. I am happy to do this for you, and I am happy about you.

bwe@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know what a good man Timothy is. You know that he has worked with me in telling the good news. He has worked just as a son works with his father.

bwe@Philippians:2:26 @ I am sending him back because he has been lonely without you all. And his heart has been troubled because you heard that he was sick.

bwe@Philippians:2:30 @ He almost died doing the work of Christ. You wished to help me, but you could not come. He came instead. He was willing to put his life in danger in order to help me.

bwe@Philippians:3:8 @ Yes, I call them all nothing, because to know Christ Jesus my Lord is much better. It is for his sake that I have given them all up and call them just dirt. I have lost them but gained Christ.

bwe@Philippians:3:10 @ I want to know Christ. I want to know the power that raised him from death. I want to have a part in his trouble. I want to be like him in his death.

bwe@Philippians:3:14 @ Like a man running a race, I try hard to reach the line so that I will receive the prize. Because we belong to Christ Jesus, God is calling us to receive this prize that he has for us in heaven.

bwe@Philippians:3:15 @ All of us who are grown-up Christians should feel this way. And if you do not think this way, God will show you the right way.

bwe@Philippians:3:19 @ They will be lost for ever. Their belly is the god they worship. They boast about things they should be ashamed of. They think only about things of this world.

bwe@Philippians:3:21 @ He will change our body which was made for this world. He will make it like his own wonderful body. He will do this by his power to make all things obey him.

bwe@Philippians:4:14 @ You people of Philippi know this too. When I first told the good news after I left the country of Macedonia, you were the only church people who helped me. You sent me money to pay my expenses.

bwe@Colossians:1:2 @ Timothy our brother, and I are writing this letter to Gods people, the Christian brothers in the city of Colossae. May the kindness of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

bwe@Colossians:1:12 @ Thank the Father who has made us ready to be with the people of God who live in his light.

bwe@Colossians:1:13 @ He has set us free from the kingdom where it is dark. And he has put us into the kingdom where his dear Son rules.

bwe@Colossians:1:14 @ Because of his Son, we are set free and the wrong things we have done are forgiven.

bwe@Colossians:1:15 @ The Son is like God who cannot be seen. He was his Son before anything was made.

bwe@Colossians:1:20 @ And God chose him to be the one who would bring all things back to himself. God made peace by the blood which Christ gave on his cross. He would bring back all things on earth and in heaven.

bwe@Colossians:1:24 @ And now, even though I suffer for you, I am happy. There are still some things for Christ to suffer in his body, which is the church. So I am glad to take my share of his suffering in my body.

bwe@Colossians:1:26 @ This message is about the secret plan of God. People who lived in all the past times of the world did not know about this plan. But now it has been told to Gods people.

bwe@Colossians:1:27 @ He wanted them to know that his plan is very great and wonderful for those who are not Jews. And this plan is that Christ is in you! He is your hope for all the wonderful things that are to come.

bwe@Colossians:1:28 @ We tell about him. We tell everyone to be careful to live in the right way. We teach everyone all he needs to know. We do this so that we can bring everyone before God and he will be grown up in the things of Christ.

bwe@Colossians:1:29 @ And I am working for this with all the strength that God gives me.

bwe@Colossians:2:4 @ I say this so that no one may lead you the wrong way by their fine words.

bwe@Colossians:2:8 @ Do not let anyone fool you by his wise words. They are not true. They are what men say. They are the teachings of this world and not what Christ says.

bwe@Colossians:2:15 @ He won the victory over powers and rulers. He showed that they had no power at all. He showed the world his victory through the cross.

bwe@Colossians:2:18 @ Do not let anyone tell you that you are wrong and that to be humble you must worship angels. He talks about things he has not seen. He is very proud, but he has nothing to be proud of, because his thoughts come from his own mind.

bwe@Colossians:2:20 @ Did you die with Christ? Then you left the teachings of this world. So why do you obey laws as if you were still living in this world?

bwe@Colossians:2:21 @ I mean laws like this: "Do not touch that. Do not eat this. Do not put your hand on that."

bwe@Colossians:3:5 @ So then, put to death those things of this world which are in you. I mean these things: wrong sex, things that are not clean, a heart that is burning to do wrong things, wanting what is wrong, and wanting to have what other people have. This last one is like worshipping an idol.

bwe@Colossians:3:11 @ In this new person, there is no difference between a Greek and a Jew. There is no difference between a man who is circumcised with the mark of the Jew and a man who is not circumcised. There is no difference between a person from a friendly country or someone from a country which is not friendly. There is no difference between a slave and a person who is free. Christ is everything and is in all of them.

bwe@Colossians:3:14 @ Beside all these, you must have love. This joins everything together as it should be.

bwe@Colossians:3:18 @ Wives, obey your husbands. This is the right way to live when you belong to the Lord.

bwe@Colossians:3:20 @ Children, obey your parents in everything. This pleases the Lord.

bwe@Colossians:4:3 @ Talk to God about us too. Ask him to open a way for us to tell people his message. We want to tell Gods plan about Christ. That is why I am in prison because of that plan.

bwe@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras sends you greetings. He is one of you and is a servant of Christ Jesus. He always talks to God about you with all his heart. He asks God to help you to be strong so that you will become grown-up Christians and know all that God wants you to do.

bwe@Colossians:4:16 @ When you have read this letter, then be sure that it is also read to the church people in Laodicea. And be sure that you read the letter which will be sent to you from Laodicea.

bwe@Colossians:4:18 @ I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember that I am in prison. God bless you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, send greetings to the church people in the city of Thessalonica. The people of this church belong to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May the kindness of God bless you and give you peace. for all of you, and we always talk to him about you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ And you wait for his Son to come again from heaven. God raised his Son Jesus from death. It is Jesus who saves us from Gods great anger which is to come.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ We never said nice things about people that were not true. You know this. We never talked to get something out of it for ourselves. God knows this.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ We lived in a holy and right way among you Christians. We did nothing wrong to you. You know this yourselves and God knows it too.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ You know how we talked to each of you as a father talks to his children. We comforted, helped, and taught you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ We told you to live to please God. He called you to his own kingdom and greatness.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ This is what God wants. He wants you to live clean lives. He wants you to keep away from wrong sex.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ Do not do wrong to your Christian brother by taking his wife for yourself. The Lord will surely punish all those who do wrong in these things. We have already told you that and made it very clear.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ So anyone who does not obey is not just disobeying a man, but he is disobeying God. And it is God who has given us his Holy Spirit.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ My brothers, we beg you, tell this to people who do not do what they should do. Talk to those who fear, and say something that will make them strong. Help those who are weak. Be patient with all people.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ Thank God for everything. This is what God wants you to do through Christ Jesus.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:24 @ I give you this order from the Lord. Read this letter to all the Christian brothers.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy send greetings to the church people in the city of Thessalonica. This church belongs to God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ This proves that God will judge right. And he will say that you are good enough for the kingdom of God because you suffer for it.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ And he will give rest to you who are having troubles, and to us also. He will give this rest when our Lord Jesus comes back from heaven. The Lord Jesus will come with his strong angels in flaming fire.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:9 @ They will be destroyed for ever. That will be their punishment. They will be for ever separated from the Lord and from his great and wonderful power.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ This will happen on the day he comes. On that day his people will show how great and wonderful he is. And all those who have believed in him will be surprised at how great he is. That means you also, because you believed what we told you.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ That is why we always talk to God about you. We want our God to make you fit for the good work to which he called you. We ask him to finish his good work of faith which trusts in his power.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ In that way you will make the name of our Lord Jesus Christ great. And he will make you great. This will be because of the kindness of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ And you know what is holding that evil man back. He will not be seen until it is his time to be seen.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ Then that evil man will be seen. The Lord Jesus will kill him with the breath from his mouth. The coming of the Lord Jesus will be so bright and wonderful that it will put the evil man to an end.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ And by his bad tricks he will fool people who are lost. They will not love the true message which would have saved them.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ God called you to be saved by the good news we brought you. He did this so that you would have some of the honour which the Lord Jesus Christ has.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:16 @ God has loved us and made us happy through his kindness. He gave us everlasting comfort and good hope.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ Now, my brothers, we tell you to do this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Have nothing to do with any lazy brother who is not living the way we taught you.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ We have the right to be helped. But we wanted to show you what you should do in this matter.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ Even when we were with you, we told you this, If any man will not work, do not let him eat.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ If any one will not obey what we say in this letter, look at that man and remember him. Have nothing to do with him, so that he will be ashamed.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:16 @ The Lord gives peace. May he give his peace to you at all times in every way. May the Lord be with you all.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:17 @ I, Paul, write these words of greeting with my own hand. This is the sign in all my letters that I wrote them.

bwe@1Timothy:1:4 @ Tell them not to use stories that are not true, and long histories of names. These things often make people quarrel. These things do not make people believe and follow Gods way.

bwe@1Timothy:1:11 @ The wonderful good news of God teaches what is right. Praise him! And he has trusted me to tell this good news.

bwe@1Timothy:1:12 @ I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who gave me power to tell the good news. I thank him because he believed he could trust me, and he chose me for this work.

bwe@1Timothy:1:13 @ There was a time when I did not respect him. I troubled his people. I said wrong things about him. But he was very kind to me, because I did not know what I was doing and I did not believe in him.

bwe@1Timothy:1:16 @ Jesus Christ wanted to show that he is very, very patient. And so he was kind to me who was the worst. He did this so that others would believe in him and live for ever.

bwe@1Timothy:2:1 @ First of all, I want Gods people to do this. They must talk to God for all the people. They must ask God to help them. They must ask God to give them what they need. They must thank God for all that he gives them.

bwe@1Timothy:2:2 @ They must talk to God for all the kings and all rulers. They must do this so that we may live in peace and quiet, so that we may please God and do what is right.

bwe@1Timothy:2:3 @ This is a good thing. And God, our Saviour, is pleased when people do it.

bwe@1Timothy:2:6 @ He gave his life to set all men free. This matter was told at the right time.

bwe@1Timothy:2:7 @ I was chosen to tell about this and to be an apostle. I am telling the truth. I am not lying. I was chosen to teach people who are not Jews. I must teach them to believe and to know what is true.

bwe@1Timothy:2:10 @ But women should busy themselves with good works. This is the right thing for women who say they worship God.

bwe@1Timothy:3:2 @ For a man to be a church leader, people must speak well of him. He must have only one wife. He must be able to control himself. He must use good sense. He must behave himself well. He must be kind to strangers in his house. He must be a good teacher.

bwe@1Timothy:3:4 @ He must be a good leader for his own family. His children must obey him and respect him.

bwe@1Timothy:3:5 @ If a man does not know how to lead his own family, how can he take care of the church of God?

bwe@1Timothy:3:15 @ Then if I do not come right away, you will know what people should do in Gods family. This family is the church of the living God. The church people hold what is true and keeps it strong.

bwe@1Timothy:4:3 @ They will teach people that they should not marry. They will teach them not to eat some kinds of food. God made the food and he wanted people to take it and thank him for it. Those who believe and know what is true do this.

bwe@1Timothy:4:16 @ Take care of yourself and what you teach. Keep on doing this. If you do, you will save yourself and those who listen to you.

bwe@1Timothy:5:2 @ Talk to the older women like mothers. Talk to the young women like sisters. And be sure to keep a clean mind and heart in all this.

bwe@1Timothy:5:4 @ If they have children or grandchildren, they should learn that the first place to do Gods work is in the home to help their own family. They should help their parents because their parents have helped them. This will please God.

bwe@1Timothy:5:8 @ A man must care for his own people. At least he must care for his family. If he does not care for them, he shows that he does not believe in God. He is worse than one who has never believed.

bwe@1Timothy:5:17 @ The leaders of the church people who rule well should be given greater honour and reward. At least do this for those who work hard in speaking and teaching.

bwe@1Timothy:5:21 @ I say this before God and Christ Jesus and the chosen angels of God. Do these things in an honest way. Do not treat one person better than another person.

bwe@1Timothy:6:7 @ When we were born, we brought nothing into this world, and when we die, we can take nothing out of the world.

bwe@1Timothy:6:9 @ People who want to be rich have trouble. They get caught in a trap. They want many foolish things which are wrong for them. Because of this, men are lost and punished for ever.

bwe@1Timothy:6:11 @ But you belong to God, Timothy. Have nothing to do with all this. But do what is right. Do what God wants you to do. Believe in Christ. Be loving. Be patient. Be kind.

bwe@1Timothy:6:13 @ Now we stand before God who gives life to all things. We stand before Christ who said what was right when he was in court before Pontius Pilate. I tell you to do this.

bwe@1Timothy:6:17 @ Tell the rich people in this world not to be proud. Tell them to trust in God not in short-lived riches. He gives us richly all things to make us happy.

bwe@1Timothy:6:19 @ In this way they will store up good things for themselves for the time to come. Then they will get that life which really is the true life.

bwe@2Timothy:1:1 @ I am Paul. I am an apostle of Christ Jesus because God wanted me to be. This is because God has promised life through Christ Jesus.

bwe@2Timothy:1:3 @ I worship God with a clean heart, as my fathers did. And I thank God when I talk to him about you. I always do this night and day.

bwe@2Timothy:1:8 @ So do not be ashamed to talk about our Lord. And do not be ashamed of me. I am his prisoner. Be patient in your trouble also, because you tell the good news. God will give you the power to do it.

bwe@2Timothy:1:9 @ God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did not do it because of the good things we have done. He did it because he himself planned to do it, and wanted to do it. That was the blessing he gave us in Christ Jesus. He had this plan before he made the world.

bwe@2Timothy:1:12 @ That is why I have this trouble. But I am not ashamed of it because I know the one whom I have trusted. And I am sure he is able to keep safe what I have trusted to him. He will keep it safe until that great day when he comes again.

bwe@2Timothy:3:1 @ Be sure of this. In the last days hard times will come.

bwe@2Timothy:3:17 @ In this way a person who belongs to God has all he needs. He is ready for every kind of good work.

bwe@2Timothy:4:1 @ I say this before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge people who are living and people who are dead. I say this to you because he will come back and rule over all.

bwe@2Timothy:4:6 @ My life is already being poured out as an offering to God. The time is here for me to leave this life.

bwe@2Timothy:4:10 @ Demas has left me because he loved the things of this world. He has gone to the city of Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.

bwe@2Timothy:4:22 @ The Lord be with your spirit. May he in his kindness bless you. Amen. May it be so!

bwe@Titus:1:1 @ I am Paul. I am a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I have been sent to Gods chosen people so that they will believe and know what is true. This will make them more like God wants them to be.

bwe@Titus:1:2 @ I do this work because then they can hope to have everlasting life. God does not fool people. He promised everlasting life before he made the world.

bwe@Titus:1:3 @ And at the right time he sent men to tell people his word. God, who saves us, trusted me and told me to tell that word.

bwe@Titus:1:5 @ A leader must be a good man, that no one can blame for doing anything wrong. He must have only one wife. His children should believe. They must not live wrong lives.

bwe@Titus:1:6 @ The church leader must be a good man because he looks after Gods work. He must not want his own way. He must not get angry or get drunk. He must not fight. He must not try to get rich in wrong ways.

bwe@Titus:1:7 @ But he must be kind to strangers in his house. He must love what is good. He must be wise. He must do what is right. He must live a holy life. He must know how to control himself.

bwe@Titus:1:9 @ There are many people who do not obey Gods truth. They talk about things that do no good, and they fool people by it. The Jewish leaders do this very much.

bwe@Titus:2:12 @ It teaches us to say no to the things that are not true of God, and to the things of this world. It teaches us to use good sense, to do what is right, and to please God while we live in this world.

bwe@Titus:2:13 @ All this is while we wait and hope to see the one who brings blessing. We are waiting for our great God to come in Jesus Christ. He is the One who will save us. He is wonderful!

bwe@Titus:3:7 @ He did this so that we can be put right with God, by his kindness. He did this so that we can become his children. So now we can look forward to everlasting life.

bwe@Philemon:1:9 @ But because I love you, I would rather not tell you, but ask you to do this for me. I, Paul, am an old man and now I am in prison because I belong to Jesus Christ.

bwe@Philemon:1:10 @ I am asking you to do something for my son. He became a Christian here in prison. This son is Onesimus.

bwe@Philemon:1:14 @ But I did not want to do anything unless you agreed. I did not want you to do this because you were forced to do it, but because you wanted to do it.

bwe@Philemon:1:19 @ I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it. I do not need to tell you that you have your life because of what I did for you.

bwe@Hebrews:1:2 @ In these last days, he talked to us through his Son. God chose him to be the one to whom he would give all things. God also made the world by this Son.

bwe@Hebrews:1:3 @ He shines as bright as God. He is just like God himself. He holds up the world by the power of his word. He made people clean from their wrong ways. Then he sat down beside God in heaven.

bwe@Hebrews:1:6 @ When God brings his first-born Son into the world, he says, All of Gods angels must worship him.

bwe@Hebrews:1:7 @ Here is what he says about the angels: God makes his angels to be like the winds. He makes his helpers to be like flames of fire.

bwe@Hebrews:1:8 @ But here is what God says about his Son: O God, you will sit and rule for ever. You will rule in the right way.

bwe@Hebrews:2:3 @ If that is so, then we will not get away without being punished. We will be punished if we forget or throw away this wonderful way to be saved. It was the Lord who first told people how to be saved. Then those who heard him told us the true way.

bwe@Hebrews:2:4 @ God also proved that it was the true way. He gave signs. He did things that surprised people. He did many things by his power. He gave the gifts of the Holy Spirit to people just as he wanted to.

bwe@Hebrews:2:9 @ But we do see Jesus! For a short time he was lower than the angels. Because he died, we see him made great and high. He did this so that he could die for every person. God is so good!

bwe@Hebrews:2:10 @ Everything was made for God and by God. It seemed good to him that Jesus life should be made complete, by going through the hard things that happened to him. This was because Jesus leads many people to heaven as Gods children. And he is the one who saves them.

bwe@Hebrews:2:11 @ Jesus, who makes people holy, and those who are made holy, all have one Father in heaven. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers.

bwe@Hebrews:2:14 @ Gods children all have a body. That is why Jesus himself had the same. But because Jesus also had a body, he was able to die and stop the devil. The devil has power to make people die. But Jesus, by his own death, was able to stop the power of death.

bwe@Hebrews:2:17 @ So he had to be made like his brothers in every way. Then he could be a high priest to make a way to God for them, a priest who was kind and true. He could make it possible for God to forgive people for the wrong things they had done.

bwe@Hebrews:3:18 @ Who were the people God said would never go into his resting place? They were the people who would not listen to him.

bwe@Hebrews:4:1 @ We still have Gods promise that people will go into his resting place. So let us take care that not one of you will be kept out.

bwe@Hebrews:4:3 @ But we who believe, will go into that resting place of God. It is as God said, When I was angry, I said, "They will never go into my resting place." He said this even though his work had been finished ever since he had made the world.

bwe@Hebrews:4:4 @ Here is what he said, somewhere in the holy writings, about the seventh day: And God rested on the seventh day after doing all his work.

bwe@Hebrews:4:7 @ So he chose another day called Today. He spoke through David many years later, who said, Today, when you hear his voice, do not make your hearts hard.

bwe@Hebrews:4:10 @ The person who goes into Gods resting place will rest after doing his work, just as God rested after doing his work.

bwe@Hebrews:5:1 @ Every high priest is chosen from among men. His work is to stand before God for people. He brings gifts and makes sacrifices to God for the wrong things people have done.

bwe@Hebrews:5:8 @ Even though Jesus was his Son, he learned to obey God in the troubles he had.

bwe@Hebrews:5:12 @ By this time you should be able to teach others. But you need someone to teach you Gods word again from the very beginning. Like children, you need milk, not meat.

bwe@Hebrews:6:9 @ This is the way we talk. But dear people, we are sure that better things are true about you. Yes, you show all the good ways of people who have been saved from their wrong ways.

bwe@Hebrews:6:13 @ God made a promise to Abraham. God did not have anyone greater than himself to hear his promise.

bwe@Hebrews:6:19 @ This promise gives our hearts something to hold on to. It keeps our hearts strong and steady. It will take us into the Holy Place right inside Gods house.

bwe@Hebrews:7:7 @ Everyone knows this is true. The person who is blessed is not so great as the person who blesses him.

bwe@Hebrews:7:8 @ Here, priests take their tenth, but they are people who will die one day. But Melchizedek, who took his tenth, never dies. The holy writings say it is so.

bwe@Hebrews:7:9 @ And we say that Levi, the priest who takes the tenth from the people, gave his tenth through Abraham.

bwe@Hebrews:7:13 @ The one we are talking about belonged to another tribe. No man from his tribe ever made sacrifices in Gods house.

bwe@Hebrews:7:17 @ This is what the holy writings say about him, You are a priest for ever, like Melchizedek.

bwe@Hebrews:7:21 @ But this man was made priest by Gods strong promise. God said to him, The Lord has made a strong promise, and he will not change it. "You are a priest for ever."

bwe@Hebrews:7:22 @ Also because of this, Jesus makes a better agreement with God for people.

bwe@Hebrews:7:24 @ But because Jesus lives forever, he is a priest for ever and no one takes his place.

bwe@Hebrews:7:28 @ The law makes men high priests, and they are weak. But the word of Gods promise came after the law. It makes his Son high priest for ever, and he is all right.

bwe@Hebrews:8:1 @ The real point of what we are saying is this. We now have a high priest who sits beside Gods throne or chief chair in heaven.

bwe@Hebrews:8:3 @ Every high priest is chosen to offer gifts and sacrifices. So this high priest must have something to offer also.

bwe@Hebrews:8:6 @ But Christ has been given a much better work, because he is the man who is between God and men in making an agreement. This is a much better agreement. It was made by better promises.

bwe@Hebrews:8:10 @ After those days, the Lord says, I will make an agreement with the people of Israel. This is my agreement. I will put my laws in their minds. I will write them in their hearts. I will be their God and they will be my people.

bwe@Hebrews:8:11 @ A man will not need to teach another man, or his brother. He will not say, "Know the Lord," because everyone from the youngest to the oldest will know me.

bwe@Hebrews:8:13 @ God says this is a new agreement, and that makes the first one old. When a thing is old and no good, it is about ready to be thrown away.

bwe@Hebrews:9:2 @ A house was made. In the first part of the house were the light, the table, and the bread of God. This first part was called the Holy Place.

bwe@Hebrews:9:4 @ In the Most Holy Place was a pan made of gold. In this pan a fire could burn to make a sweet-smelling smoke. The box of the agreement was also in the Most Holy Place. It was covered all over with gold. In this box were: the golden pot, which had some of the food God sent from heaven for the people in the desert; Aarons stick which grew flowers on it; and the stones which had Gods agreement written on them.

bwe@Hebrews:9:8 @ This is how the Holy Spirit showed that the way into the Most Holy Place was not yet open to everybody. It was not open as long as the first house was still standing.

bwe@Hebrews:9:9 @ This first part is a picture of the time we are in now. In it gifts and sacrifices are made to God. But they cannot make a persons heart clean to worship God.

bwe@Hebrews:9:11 @ But Christ has come as the high priest of the good things which have come. He went through a greater and better house which was not made by mens hands. It is not a part of this world.

bwe@Hebrews:9:12 @ He did not take the blood of goats and young cows. He took his own blood. And he went into the Most Holy Place just once. He paid for our sins and made us free for ever.

bwe@Hebrews:9:13 @ The priest takes the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes from a young cow that has been burned. He puts this on the people who have done wrong things. This makes their bodies clean.

bwe@Hebrews:9:14 @ If the blood of animals can do that, then the blood of Christ will clean our hearts much better. Christ gave himself to God as the sacrifice. He did this by the Spirit who lives for ever. He was a perfect sacrifice. He will clean our hearts from useless acts of worship. Then we can serve the living God.

bwe@Hebrews:9:15 @ That is why he is the middle man of a new agreement. He died and paid for the wrong things that were done under the first agreement. Because he is a middle man, those people who are called by God can have what he promised. This will belong to them for ever.

bwe@Hebrews:9:16 @ A person can say who will get his things when he dies. He writes this agreement down. Before anyone can have them, it must be proved that the person has died.

bwe@Hebrews:9:20 @ As he did this, he said, This is the blood for the agreement which God has made for you.

bwe@Hebrews:9:25 @ Christ did not have to offer himself as a sacrifice many times. He is not like the high priest who went into the Holy Place every year and took blood that was not his own blood.

bwe@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then I said, "See, I have come to do what you, God, want me to do." This is what is written about me in the book of the law.

bwe@Hebrews:10:10 @ God wanted us to be made holy. We have been made holy by Jesus Christ. He made us holy by once making his body a sacrifice.

bwe@Hebrews:10:11 @ Every priest stands day after day doing his work. He makes the same sacrifices many times. But these sacrifices can never clean away the wrong things people have done.

bwe@Hebrews:10:13 @ Since then, he is waiting till his enemies are put under him.

bwe@Hebrews:10:15 @ The Holy Spirit tells us about this also.

bwe@Hebrews:10:16 @ First he said, This is the agreement that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts. I will write them in their minds.

bwe@Hebrews:10:20 @ He made a new and living way for us. He opened up Gods way specially for us. It lets us through the big curtain or cloth which hides God from us. This happened when Jesus gave his body as a sacrifice.

bwe@Hebrews:10:30 @ We know God who has said, I am the one who will punish people. I will repay them. Also, The Lord will judge his people.

bwe@Hebrews:11:3 @ We believe in God, so that is how we know that God made the world by his word. The things we see were made out of things that cannot be seen.

bwe@Hebrews:11:4 @ Because Abel believed God, he made a sacrifice that pleased God more than the one Cain made. Because Abel believed God, God showed that he was good. God was pleased with his gifts. Abel died. But because he believed God, he still speaks to us through his faith.

bwe@Hebrews:11:7 @ God told Noah about things that would happen. These things had never happened before. Noah believed God; he respected God. He built a big house on a boat, and so his family was saved <FI>from the big flood<Fi>. By believing God he showed that the other people were wrong. He was put right with God because he believed.

bwe@Hebrews:11:8 @ God called Abraham to go away to a place which he would have as his own. Because Abraham believed God, he obeyed him. He went even though he did not know where he was to go.

bwe@Hebrews:11:13 @ These people all died still believing God. They did not get the things God had promised them. But they saw them far away and were glad to see them. They said they did not belong to this world, but were only travelling in it.

bwe@Hebrews:11:17 @ Abraham believed God when he was tested. The test was to give Isaac as a sacrifice. Abraham gave up his only son, even though God had made a promise to him about Isaac.

bwe@Hebrews:11:19 @ Abraham said in his heart that God could bring Isaac back to life. And so it was just as if he did get his son back.

bwe@Hebrews:11:21 @ Jacob believed God. When he was dying, he blessed Josephs two sons. He leaned on his walking stick as he worshipped God.

bwe@Hebrews:11:22 @ Joseph believed God. When he died, he remembered Gods promise and talked about the time the people of Israel would leave Egypt. He told them what to do with his bones when they left Egypt.

bwe@Hebrews:11:28 @ He believed God and obeyed his law about the Passover Feast, and put blood on the door posts. He did this so that the angel who killed the oldest sons of the Egyptians, would pass over. Then he would not kill the oldest sons in the families of the Jews.

bwe@Hebrews:11:31 @ Rahab was a woman who used her body wrongly for sex to get money. But she believed in God, so she did not die with the people who did not believe in God. This was when the men came to spy out her country. She took them into her house in peace.

bwe@Hebrews:11:38 @ They were really too good to be in this world. They walked about in the desert and in the mountains, and in the holes in the hills and in the holes among the rocks on the earth.

bwe@Hebrews:12:6 @ The Lord punishes the person he loves. And he beats every son he takes into his family.

bwe@Hebrews:12:7 @ Do not give up when you are punished. God is treating you like sons. Is there a son who has never been punished by his father?

bwe@Hebrews:12:16 @ Take care that no one takes part in wrong ways of using sex. And take care that no one is like Esau and forgets God. He was the older son. But he sold all that he would get from his father. He sold it for a little food.

bwe@Hebrews:12:20 @ They were afraid of what he said. He said, If even an animal touches this mountain, it must be killed with stones.

bwe@Hebrews:12:21 @ Moses was afraid when he saw all this. He said, I fear very much and I tremble.

bwe@Hebrews:12:24 @ You have come to Jesus who is the middle man of a new agreement. You have come to the place where the spilling of his blood has more power than Abels.

bwe@Hebrews:12:26 @ That time his voice shook the earth. But now he has said, Only once more I will shake the earth and the sky also.

bwe@Hebrews:13:2 @ Take strangers to your home and care for them. Some people who have done this found out the strangers were angels.

bwe@Hebrews:13:10 @ We have a sacrifice. But priests who serve God on earth have no right to eat from this sacrifice.

bwe@Hebrews:13:12 @ So also Jesus was put to death outside the town. Then he could make the people holy by his own blood.

bwe@Hebrews:13:15 @ Let us always give a sacrifice of praise to God through Jesus. We do it by thanking him for all that he has done and also by talking about him. That is the sacrifice we make with our lips to his name.

bwe@Hebrews:13:20 @ God gives peace. He brought back our Lord Jesus from death. Our Lord Jesus cares for Gods people and he gave his blood for the agreement that stands for ever.

bwe@James:1:3 @ You know this, that when you prove you believe, you become stronger to take troubles.

bwe@James:1:6 @ But when you ask, you must believe that God will do it. You must not doubt and think, Perhaps God will not do it. A person who doubts is like a wave on the sea. The wind drives it this way and that way.

bwe@James:1:8 @ A person like that has two minds. He cannot go straight in any of his ways.

bwe@James:1:12 @ God will bless any man who is strong to take his trouble, when he is being tested. When he has proved he is strong, he will live for ever. That is what the Lord has promised to those who love him.

bwe@James:1:13 @ No one who wants to do something wrong should say, God is trying to make me do this wrong thing. God cannot do anything wrong.

bwe@James:1:15 @ Then the wrong in his heart makes him do the wrong thing. And the wrong thing he has done leads to death.

bwe@James:1:18 @ He made us his children because he wanted us. He made us his children by giving us his true word. He made us his children so that we would be the first and best of all he made.

bwe@James:1:19 @ My dear brothers, do not forget this. Every man should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to be angry.

bwe@James:1:23 @ Anyone who just listens to the word, and does not obey it, is like a man who looks at his face in a looking glass.

bwe@James:1:27 @ This is what God the Father wants. It is clean and right. Go and help those who have no father and mother. Go and help widow women whose husbands are dead. These people have troubles. And keep yourself clean from the wrong things in the world.

bwe@James:2:3 @ You look at the man who wears fine clothes. And you say to him, Sit here on this good chair. But you say to the poor man, Stand over there, or you say, Sit on the floor by my feet.

bwe@James:2:4 @ If you do these things, you think some people are better than others. You are wrong when you judge people this way.

bwe@James:2:5 @ Listen, my dear brothers. God has chosen people who are poor in this world. They believe very much. They will have a place in the kingdom which he has promised to give to those who love him.

bwe@James:2:8 @ The holy writings say, Love your neighbour as you love yourself. If you obey this law of your King you do well.

bwe@James:2:21 @ Look at Abraham. God called our father Abraham a good man. This was because he gave his son Isaac to God on the holy table for a sacrifice.

bwe@James:2:22 @ You can see he believed. His faith and the things he did worked together. His believing was made all right because he did something.

bwe@James:3:2 @ We all do many wrong things. Any man who never says anything wrong is right in every way. He is able to make his whole body do what is right.

bwe@James:3:10 @ Praising and wrong words come out of the same mouth! My brothers, this should not be so.

bwe@James:3:13 @ Who among you is wise and knows about things? He should show what he knows by his good life. He will not be proud because he is wise.

bwe@James:3:15 @ God did not give you wisdom like that. But it comes from this world. It comes from people. It comes from bad spirits.

bwe@James:4:5 @ The holy writings say, God gave his Spirit to live in us. And that Spirit wants us for himself. Do you think this means nothing?

bwe@James:4:9 @ Be sad about this, and cry. Turn your laughing into crying. Stop being happy. Be sad.

bwe@James:4:11 @ My brothers, do not say wrong things about each other. A man who says wrong things about his brother or judges his brother is saying wrong things about Gods law and he is judging Gods law. If you judge the law, you are not obeying the law, but you are a judge.

bwe@James:4:15 @ You should say If the Lord wants to do it, we will live and do this or that.

bwe@James:5:20 @ Do not forget that the person who has brought a man back from his wrong ways will save that man from death. He will cover up many wrong things and be forgiven.

bwe@1Peter:1:1 @ I am Peter. I am an apostle of Jesus Christ. I send this letter to Gods chosen people. You are like people on a journey. You live in the countries of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. But you do not belong there.

bwe@1Peter:1:2 @ God the Father chose you as he planned to do long ago. You were made holy by the Spirit. You were chosen to obey Jesus Christ and to be made clean by the blood of his death. May you have much blessing and peace.

bwe@1Peter:1:3 @ Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He was very kind to us, and made us his children. So we have a new hope. This hope is a living hope because Jesus Christ was raised from death.

bwe@1Peter:1:6 @ This makes you very glad, even though now maybe you are sad because you have troubles of many kinds. They are only for a short time.

bwe@1Peter:1:10 @ The prophets of God long ago told about this way of being saved. They tried to find out about it and asked much about it. They spoke words from God telling about the blessing God would give you.

bwe@1Peter:1:18 @ You know this. You lived the way your fathers taught you to live, and it was not a good way to live. You were bought and set free from that way of life. But you were not bought with silver or gold money, which can spoil.

bwe@1Peter:1:23 @ You have been made Gods children. He did not make you his children by something that dies, but by something that cannot die. That is the word of God.

bwe@1Peter:1:25 @ But the word of the Lord cannot die! And this word is the good news which has been told to you.

bwe@1Peter:2:8 @ And to them he is also, a stone on which people will hit their feet, and a rock that will make them fall down. They hit their feet on it, because they do not obey the word. It was planned that this would happen to them! But you are a chosen people. You are priests to your king. You are a holy nation. You are Gods very own people. All this is so that you will tell how good he is. He called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

bwe@1Peter:2:10 @ Dear brothers, you are people who do not belong to this world. You are like visitors who are on a journey. I beg you, do not do the things your body wants to do. Those things fight against your soul.

bwe@1Peter:2:20 @ You have been called to do this because Christ also was punished for you. He showed you what you should do. So do as he did.

bwe@1Peter:2:23 @ Christ in his own body took the wrong things we have done to the cross. He did this so that we would stop our bad ways and live right. Because he was punished, you were healed.

bwe@1Peter:3:5 @ There were holy women long ago who trusted in God. They made themselves nice in this way. They obeyed their husbands.

bwe@1Peter:3:7 @ Husbands, also live with your wife the way you know is right. Respect her because she is a woman. She is not as strong as a man. Also respect her because God has given her, as well as you, the blessing of life. In this way, you will not stop God from doing what you ask him to do.

bwe@1Peter:3:9 @ You must not do wrong things to those who do wrong things to you. You must not say wrong things to those who say wrong things to you. But ask God to bless those people. This is what you have been called to do. Then God will bless you.

bwe@1Peter:3:18 @ For Christ died that once because of our wrong ways. He was good and he died for those who were bad. He did this to bring us to God. His body died, but his spirit had new life.

bwe@1Peter:3:19 @ His spirit went and gave his message to peoples spirits who were in prison.

bwe@1Peter:4:1 @ Christ suffered in his body. You also must be ready to have the same trouble happen to you. When a man has suffered in his body, he has stopped doing wrong things.

bwe@1Peter:4:2 @ For the rest of his life on earth he will not do what people want to do. He will do what God wants him to do.

bwe@1Peter:4:6 @ That is why the good news was also told to those who are now dead. They will be judged like men who are alive. This was done so that they could live like God in the spirit.

bwe@1Peter:4:10 @ God has given each person a gift. That gift is something he can do. Each one should use his gift to help the others. In that way you all make good use of the many blessings God has given you.

bwe@1Peter:5:1 @ So I am talking to the leaders among you. I am also a leader. I saw the sufferings of Christ. And I will have some part of his greatness when he comes again.

bwe@1Peter:5:2 @ Take good care of Gods people. They have been given to you to care for. Do this, not because you must do it, but because you want to please God. Do it not for the money that you get for doing it, but because you are glad to do it.

bwe@1Peter:5:12 @ Silas has written this short letter for me. I believe he is a brother who can be trusted. I have written to help you and tell you the true way to have Gods blessing. Stand firm in that way!

bwe@2Peter:1:1 @ I am Simon Peter. I am a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I send greetings to you who have believed as we have. Believing is worth just as much to you as it is to us. This is because our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, is right and good.

bwe@2Peter:1:3 @ Christ is God and by his own power he has given us everything that we need to live and to please God. He has given this to us because we know him, and he has called us because he is great and good.

bwe@2Peter:1:11 @ That will make it easy for you to go into the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. His kingdom will be for ever.

bwe@2Peter:1:12 @ I do want always to bring these things to your minds. I will do this even though you know them, and even though you are strong in the true way that you already have.

bwe@2Peter:1:17 @ God the Father praised him and showed that he is great. A voice came from the bright cloud and said to him, This is my Son. I love him and he pleases me very much.

bwe@2Peter:1:18 @ We heard this voice which came from heaven. It happened when we were on the holy hill with Jesus.

bwe@2Peter:1:20 @ First you must understand this. The words from the prophets in the holy writings did not come from their own minds.

bwe@2Peter:2:6 @ God burned up the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. He punished them so that no cities were left. He did this to show what would happen to bad people.

bwe@2Peter:2:8 @ That good man lived among the bad people and he saw and heard what they did. Day after day, the bad things they did troubled his heart because he was a good man.

bwe@2Peter:2:16 @ But he was told to stop doing wrong. The animal he was riding talked with a mans voice. It tried to make the prophet stop his foolish way.

bwe@2Peter:2:22 @ They show that this saying is true, The dog goes back to eat what his own stomach threw up! and, A pig that is washed rolls in the mud again!

bwe@2Peter:3:1 @ My dear brothers, this is my second letter to you. In both of my letters I have tried to bring some things to your good minds.

bwe@2Peter:3:7 @ The sky and the earth that are here now are being kept because God spoke. They are kept to be burned up. This will happen on the day when God judges people and they will die.

bwe@2Peter:3:8 @ My dear brothers, do not forget this one thing. One day is like a thousand years to the Lord. And a thousand years are like one day.

bwe@2Peter:3:15 @ Think of this. He is waiting a long time so that people will be saved. Our dear brother Paul also wrote these things to you, because God has made him wise.

bwe@2Peter:3:16 @ He also tells about them in all his letters. Some things in his letters are hard to understand. Some people do not know about these things and they are not strong in their faith. They change the meaning of the things Paul wrote. They do this to other things in the holy writings also. Because they do this, they will die.

bwe@1John:1:1 @ The Word of life always was living, even from the beginning. We heard him. We saw him with our own eyes. We looked at him, and we touched him with our own hands. We are writing to you about this Word of life.

bwe@1John:1:2 @ This life came to earth. We saw him, and we know about him. And we tell you about this life that lives for ever. This life was with the Father and came to us.

bwe@1John:1:10 @ Do we say, We have not done anything wrong?This is like saying that God is not true. That means we do not accept Gods word.

bwe@1John:2:3 @ We can be sure that we know him when we obey his laws.

bwe@1John:2:4 @ If any man says, I know him and does not obey his laws, he is telling a lie. He does not know what is true.

bwe@1John:2:5 @ But if any man obeys his word, he really loves God. Here is the way that we may be sure that we belong to him.

bwe@1John:2:7 @ My dear brothers, I am not writing you a new law. This is an old law. You had it from the beginning. The old law is the word which you have heard.

bwe@1John:2:9 @ Does anyone say he is in the light, and hates his brother? Then he is still in the dark.

bwe@1John:2:10 @ The man who loves his brother lives in the light. There is nothing in him to make him do wrong.

bwe@1John:2:11 @ But the man who hates his brother is in the dark. He lives in the dark. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has made him blind.

bwe@1John:2:16 @ Nothing in the world comes from the Father. I mean the wrong things people like to do with their bodies. I mean the things people see and want to have. I mean all the things people are proud of in this life. These things come from the world, not the Father.

bwe@1John:2:27 @ You have a gift of understanding from Christ. That gift stays with you. You do not need anyone to teach you. His gift teaches you about everything. It is true. It is not a lie. So stay with him as he has taught you.

bwe@1John:2:29 @ You know that he does what is right. So you know also that everyone who does what is right is his child.

bwe@1John:3:1 @ See how much the Father has loved us! We are called Gods children. It is true, we are Gods children. People in this world did not know him and so they do not know us.

bwe@1John:3:3 @ Everyone who has this hope about Christ makes his life holy. He makes his life holy and clean, just as Christ is holy.

bwe@1John:3:10 @ This is how people can know who are Gods children and who are the devils children. Everyone who does not do right is not Gods child. And anyone who does not love his brother is not Gods child.

bwe@1John:3:11 @ This is the word you have heard from the beginning. We must love one another.

bwe@1John:3:12 @ We must not be like Cain. He was a child of the devil and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? He killed him because the things he himself did were wrong, and the things his brother did were right with God.

bwe@1John:3:13 @ My brothers, do not be surprised if people in this world hate you.

bwe@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have gone from death to life. We know this because we love the Christian brothers. Anyone who does not love them has not gone from death to life.

bwe@1John:3:15 @ Everyone who hates his brother is like a man who kills a person. And you know that no one who kills a person has life that will live for ever.

bwe@1John:3:17 @ Perhaps a man has plenty of food and things. He sees that his brother needs some. If he does not want to help his brother, does he love God?

bwe@1John:3:19 @ And this is how we will know that we are true. This is why we will not be afraid in front of God.

bwe@1John:3:22 @ If we ask God for something, we get it. We get it because we obey his laws. We get it because we do what pleases him.

bwe@1John:3:23 @ This is his law. We must believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ. And we must love one another as he told us to do.

bwe@1John:3:24 @ If anyone obeys his laws, he belongs to God and God belongs to him. God has given us the Holy Spirit. That is how we know that God is with us.

bwe@1John:4:3 @ And every spirit that does not say this about Jesus, does not belong to God. That is the spirit of the one who is against Christ. You have heard that he is coming. And now he is already in the world.

bwe@1John:4:6 @ But we belong to God. Anyone who knows God listens to us. Anyone who does not belong to God does not listen to us. This is how we know if a spirit is true or not true.

bwe@1John:4:9 @ This is how God showed his love for us. He sent his only Son into the world to give us life.

bwe@1John:4:10 @ This is love! We did not love God, but he loved us. And he sent his Son to be the sacrifice to pay for the wrong things we have done.

bwe@1John:4:12 @ No man has ever seen God. But God lives in us if we love one another. And in loving one another, his love is made perfect.

bwe@1John:4:13 @ He has given us of his own Spirit. That is how we know that we are in him and he is in us.

bwe@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and we are telling you that the Father sent his Son to save the people in the world.

bwe@1John:4:17 @ That is why we love each other very much. Then we will not be afraid on the day when people are judged. We are like Christ in this world.

bwe@1John:4:20 @ If anyone says, I love God,and he hates his brother, he is telling a lie. If he does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

bwe@1John:4:21 @ God gave us this law. The person who loves God must love his brother also.

bwe@1John:5:1 @ Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is Gods child. And everyone who loves the Father loves his child.

bwe@1John:5:2 @ This is how we know we love Gods children. We love God and we obey his laws.

bwe@1John:5:3 @ We show that we love God when we obey his laws. His laws are not hard to obey.

bwe@1John:5:6 @ There was water and there was blood when Jesus Christ came. There was not water only, but there was water and there was blood. The Spirit proves this is true, because the Spirit is true.

bwe@1John:5:9 @ We believe what people prove to us. But when God proves something it is stronger than what people prove. This is what God proved about his Son.

bwe@1John:5:10 @ Anyone who believes in Gods Son believes what God says about him. Anyone who does not believe God shows that he thinks what God says is not true. He has not believed what God says about his Son.

bwe@1John:5:11 @ Here is what God says. He has given us life that will last for ever. And this life is in his Son.

bwe@1John:5:12 @ So anyone who has the Son has this life. Anyone who does not have the Son of God does not have this life.

bwe@1John:5:14 @ And we are sure God will do this. If we ask him for anything that he wants us to have, he will listen to us.

bwe@1John:5:16 @ Maybe a man sees his brother do something wrong, but not so bad that he must die for it. The man should ask God and God will let his brother live. God will let people live if the things they have done are not so bad that they must die for them. But there are things so wrong that a person must die for them. If he has done such as that, I do not tell the man to ask God to let him live.

bwe@1John:5:20 @ We know that the Son of God has come. He has given us a heart to know him who is true. We belong to him who is true, because we belong to his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God. He has the life that will live for ever.

bwe@2John:1:5 @ And now I want to ask you to do something. I am not telling you to do something new. It is the same law we had from the beginning. It is this, We must love one another.

bwe@2John:1:6 @ We love God when we live the way God has told us. This is the law you heard from the beginning. You must live by it.

bwe@3John:1:8 @ So if I come, I will show what he is doing. He is saying wrong things about us. And that is not all. He does not take our brothers into his own home. And he stops other people who want to take them in. He will not let them be church members any longer.

bwe@3John:1:10 @ Everyone says Demetrius is a good man. All this is true. We say the same thing too. And you know that what we say is true.

bwe@Jude:1:5 @ You know all these things for all times. But I want to bring them to your minds. First, the Lord saved his people from the country of Egypt. At a time after that, he killed those who did not believe in him.

bwe@Jude:1:7 @ Also Sodom and Gomorrah and the other cities near them show what will happen. The people there had wrong ways of using sex and did wrong things that people should not do with each other. They were punished and are in fire that burns for ever. God did this to show what will happen to others.

bwe@Jude:1:14 @ Enoch was the seventh in Adams family line. He spoke words from God to these men also. He said, Listen! The Lord came with many thousands of his angels.

bwe@Revelation:1:1 @ God showed these things to Jesus Christ to show to his servants. These are things that must happen soon. Then God sent his angel and showed them to John, his servant.

bwe@Revelation:1:3 @ God will bless the person who reads the words of this book. God will bless those who hear the words of this book and obey the things written in it.

bwe@Revelation:1:5 @ May Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace. What he says is true. He was the first to rise from death. And he is ruler of the kings of the earth. He loves us. By his own blood <FI>death<Fi> he has made us free from the wrong things we have done.

bwe@Revelation:1:6 @ He has made us into kings and priests to his God and Father. Praise him! He is great and has power for ever! Yes, it is so!

bwe@Revelation:1:9 @ I am John, your brother. I belong to Jesus and I am having big trouble just as you are. I also belong to his kingdom and I wait patiently for it. I was on an island called Patmos because I told the word of God and talked about Jesus Christ.

bwe@Revelation:1:13 @ In the centre of the seven lamps I saw someone like the Son of Man. He was wearing a long gown with a wide, gold belt around his chest.

bwe@Revelation:1:14 @ The hair on his head was white like sheeps hair, white as snow. His eyes shone like a flame of fire.

bwe@Revelation:1:15 @ His feet shone like fine brass that has been made pure by fire. His voice was like the sound of much water flowing.

bwe@Revelation:1:16 @ In his right hand he had seven stars. Out of his mouth came a long knife or sword, sharp on both sides. His face shone like the sun when it is shining very brightly.

bwe@Revelation:1:17 @ When I saw him, I fell down in front of him as if I had died. He put his right hand on me and said, Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.

bwe@Revelation:2:1 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Ephesus: Here are the words of the one who holds the seven stars in his hand, the one who walks among the seven gold lamps.

bwe@Revelation:2:6 @ But this is good: you hate the things which the people called Nicolaitans do. I hate the things they do also."

bwe@Revelation:2:8 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Smyrna: Here are the words of the one who is the First and the Last. He is the one who died but lived again.

bwe@Revelation:2:12 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Pergamum: Here are the words of the one who has the long knife which is sharp on both sides.

bwe@Revelation:2:18 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Thyatira: Here are the words of the Son of God. He is the one whose eyes shine like a flame of fire, and his feet shine like fine brass.

bwe@Revelation:2:20 @ But I have this to say against you. You let that woman named Jezebel keep on teaching. She calls herself a prophet of God but teaches my servants wrong things. She fools them to use sex wrongly and eat food that has been given to idols.

bwe@Revelation:2:27 @ The holy writings said this long ago: He will rule them with an iron stick. He will break them to pieces like pots made of clay. This is the same power as I received from my Father.

bwe@Revelation:3:1 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Sardis: Here are the words of the one who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars. He says, "I know what you do. People say that you are alive, but you are dead.

bwe@Revelation:3:5 @ He who wins will wear white clothes. I will not take his name out of the book of life. I will tell his name to my Father and to his angels."

bwe@Revelation:3:7 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Philadelphia: Here are the words of the one who is holy and true. He has Davids key. No one will shut what he opens. And no one will open what he shuts.

bwe@Revelation:3:12 @ I will make the person who wins become a strong post in the temple of my God. I will keep him strong. He will never leave it again. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of my Gods city. This city is the new Jerusalem. It comes down out of heaven from my God. And I will write my new name on him."

bwe@Revelation:3:14 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Laodicea: Here are the words of the one whose name is Truth. What he says can be trusted. He is the one who began all that God made.

bwe@Revelation:3:21 @ He who wins will sit with me on my throne in heaven. I won too, and I sat down with my Father on his throne."

bwe@Revelation:4:1 @ After this, I looked and saw a door open in heaven. I heard the same voice that I had heard before. It was like the sound of a horn or trumpet. It said, Come up here. I will show you the things that must happen after this.

bwe@Revelation:4:3 @ The one who sat on the throne looked very fine and bright. He looked like fine stones called jasper and carnelian. All around his chair was a rainbow that looked like a fine stone called emerald.

bwe@Revelation:4:4 @ Around his throne I saw twenty-four other thrones. On them sat twenty-four leaders. They wore white clothes and had gold crowns on their heads.

bwe@Revelation:4:10 @ Every time they do this, the twenty-four leaders kneel down in front of the one who sits on the throne. And they worship the one who lives for ever and ever. They take the crowns off their heads and lay them down in front of his throne.

bwe@Revelation:6:2 @ And I looked and saw a white horse. The man who rode on it had a bow to shoot arrows. A gold crown for his head was given to him. And he went out fighting to win the victory over his enemies.

bwe@Revelation:6:5 @ When the Lamb opened the third lock, I heard the third living being call, Come! I looked and saw a black horse. The man who rode on it had scales in his hand to weigh things.

bwe@Revelation:7:1 @ After this, I saw four angels standing at four different places on the earth. They were holding back the winds coming from every way. They did this so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.

bwe@Revelation:7:9 @ After this, I looked and saw many people. There were so many that no person could count them all. They were from every country, tribe, nation, and language. I saw them standing in front of the throne and the Lamb. They wore white clothes and they had palm branches in their hands.

bwe@Revelation:7:15 @ That is why they are in front of Gods throne. They worship him day and night in his temple. The one who sits on the throne will keep them safe because he is with them.

bwe@Revelation:8:7 @ The first angel blew his trumpet. Rain like stones, and fire mixed with blood, fell on the earth. A third part of the earth was burned. A third of the trees was burned. And one third of all the green grass was burned.

bwe@Revelation:8:8 @ The second angel blew his trumpet. Then something like a big hill, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea.

bwe@Revelation:8:10 @ The third angel blew his trumpet. A big star fell from the sky. It burned and gave a bright light. It fell on a third of the rivers and places where there is water.

bwe@Revelation:8:12 @ The fourth angel blew his trumpet. A third of the sun was made dark. And a third of the moon and a third of the stars were made dark. A third part of them became dark. A third part of the day had no light, and also a third part of the night.

bwe@Revelation:9:1 @ Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet. I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The key to the big hole that has no bottom was given to the angel.

bwe@Revelation:9:11 @ The king of the locusts is the angel of the big hole that has no bottom. His name is Abaddon in the Jews language and Apollyon in the Greek language. (This means, the one who destroys.)

bwe@Revelation:9:13 @ The sixth angel blew his trumpet. I heard a voice from the four horns of the gold altar in front of God.

bwe@Revelation:10:1 @ Then I saw another strong angel coming down from the sky. A cloud was around him and a rainbow was over his head. His face was like the sun and his legs were like posts of fire.

bwe@Revelation:10:2 @ In his hand he had a small book that was open. He put his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land.

bwe@Revelation:10:5 @ The angel that I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand toward the sky.

bwe@Revelation:10:7 @ But when the seventh angel calls by blowing his trumpet, then the secret plan of God will be finished. It will happen just as God told his servants, the prophets.

bwe@Revelation:10:8 @ The voice I heard in the sky talked to me again. It said, Go to the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land. Take the open book from his hand.

bwe@Revelation:11:5 @ If any one wants to hurt them, fire comes out of their mouths and burns up their enemies. If anyone wants to hurt them, he must be killed in this way.

bwe@Revelation:11:8 @ Their dead bodies will lie in the street of the big city. This city is called, Sodom and Egypt, because it is like them. Also it is where our Lord was nailed to a cross.

bwe@Revelation:11:15 @ Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet. Loud voices were heard in the sky. They said, The kingdom of the world now belongs to our Lord and to his Christ. He will rule for ever and ever.

bwe@Revelation:11:19 @ Then the temple of God in heaven was opened. The box where his agreement was kept was seen inside the temple. And there was lightning, loud noises, and thunder. The earth shook and much rain, like stones, fell.

bwe@Revelation:12:3 @ And another wonderful thing was seen in the sky. It was a big red dragon. He had seven heads and ten horns. He had seven big rings on his heads.

bwe@Revelation:12:4 @ His tail struck a third part of the stars from the sky to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who would soon have a baby. He wanted to eat her baby when it was born.

bwe@Revelation:12:7 @ Then there was fighting in heaven. Michael and his angels fought with the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back.

bwe@Revelation:12:9 @ The dragon was thrown down. He was that old snake who is called the devil and Satan. He fools all the people in the world. He was thrown down to earth and his angels were thrown down with him.

bwe@Revelation:12:10 @ I heard a loud voice in the sky. It said, Now the time has come for God to save people. He will use his strength. His kingdom will come and his Christ will use his power. The one who says bad things about our brothers to God day and night has been thrown down.

bwe@Revelation:12:15 @ The dragon poured water like a river out of his mouth after her. He wanted the water to carry her away.

bwe@Revelation:12:16 @ But the earth helped the woman. It opened a big hole. And the river which the dragon had poured out of his mouth went down the hole.

bwe@Revelation:13:2 @ The beast I saw was like a leopard. It had feet like a bear and a mouth like a lion. The dragon gave it his own strength, his own throne, and great power.

bwe@Revelation:13:4 @ They worshipped the dragon because he had given this power to the beast. And they worshipped the beast too. They said, Who is like this beast? Who can fight against it?

bwe@Revelation:13:6 @ It opened its mouth to speak against God, to speak against his name and the place where he lives, and to speak against those who live in heaven.

bwe@Revelation:13:10 @ Anyone who puts people in prison will go to prison. Any one who kills others with a long knife or sword will be killed by a long knife or sword. This is why Gods people are patient and keep on believing.

bwe@Revelation:13:17 @ No one could buy or sell anything if he did not have this mark. This mark is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

bwe@Revelation:14:1 @ The song of the 144,000 Then I looked and saw the Lamb standing on a hill called Zion. With him were one hundred and forty-four thousand people. They had his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.

bwe@Revelation:14:10 @ A third angel followed the other two. He said in a loud voice, Any person who worships the beast or its idol, and takes its mark on his forehead or on his hand, will also feel Gods anger. He is very angry. That person will be burned with fire and dust that chokes people when it burns. He will be burned in front of the holy angels and the Lamb.

bwe@Revelation:14:12 @ This is why Gods people must be patient. They are the ones who keep the laws of God and believe in Jesus.

bwe@Revelation:14:13 @ I heard a voice from the sky. It said, Write this: From now on, happy are those who die believing in the Lord. Yes, says the Spirit. They will have rest from their troubles. The good things they have done will go with them.

bwe@Revelation:14:14 @ I looked and saw a white cloud. I saw someone like the Son of Man sitting on the cloud. He had a big gold crown on his head and a sharp harvest knife in his hand.

bwe@Revelation:14:16 @ So the one who sat on the cloud used his knife on earth. And the harvest on earth was cut.

bwe@Revelation:14:19 @ So the angel used his knife on earth. He gathered the fruit of the vine on the earth. He put it in the big place where the water of the fruit is pressed out. This place is Gods anger.

bwe@Revelation:15:4 @ After this I looked. The temple in heaven was open. It was the place where Gods agreement was kept.

bwe@Revelation:16:2 @ So the first angel went and poured his bowl on the earth. Then a bad, dirty sore came on the people who had the mark of the animal on them, and who worshipped its idol.

bwe@Revelation:16:3 @ The second angel poured his bowl on the sea. It turned into blood like that of a person who has been killed. Everything in the sea that had life died.

bwe@Revelation:16:4 @ The third angel poured his bowl on the rivers and the places where there was water. They turned into blood.

bwe@Revelation:16:5 @ And I heard the angel of the water say, Holy One, you who live now and who always have lived, and will live for ever; you are right because you have punished them this way.

bwe@Revelation:16:6 @ They killed Gods people and the prophets. Now you have given them blood to drink. This is what they should get!

bwe@Revelation:16:8 @ The fourth angel poured his bowl on the sun. Then the sun was given the power to burn people with fire.

bwe@Revelation:16:10 @ The fifth angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast. The place where he ruled became dark. People bit their tongues because of the pain they had.

bwe@Revelation:16:12 @ The sixth angel poured his bowl on the big river Euphrates. Its water dried up so that a road was made ready for the kings to come from the east.

bwe@Revelation:16:17 @ Then the seventh angel poured his bowl into the air. A loud voice came from the temple and the chair. It said, It is finished!

bwe@Revelation:16:19 @ The big city was broken into three parts. And the cities of the nations fell down. God remembered Babylon, the big city. He made it feel all of his great anger.

bwe@Revelation:17:9 @ To understand this, one must be wise. The seven heads are the seven hills on which the woman is sitting.

bwe@Revelation:19:1 @ After this I heard a loud sound in heaven. It sounded like many people calling. They said, Praise our God! He saves people. He is great and power belongs to him.

bwe@Revelation:19:2 @ The way God punishes is true and right. He has punished the bad woman who spoiled the earth with her wrong ways. He has made her pay for the killing of his servants.

bwe@Revelation:19:4 @ Then the twenty-four leaders and the four living beings kneeled down. They worshipped God who was sitting on his throne, and they said, Amen! Yes, it is so! Praise God!

bwe@Revelation:19:5 @ A voice from the throne said, Praise our God, all his servants, all who respect and honour him: you who are great and you who are not great, praise him!

bwe@Revelation:19:9 @ The angel said to me, Write this: God blesses those who are called to come to the wedding feast of the Lamb. And he said to me, These are the true words of God.

bwe@Revelation:19:12 @ His eyes were like a flame of fire. On his head were many crowns. He had a name written on him, but no man knew what it was but he himself.

bwe@Revelation:19:13 @ He wore clothes that had been dipped in blood. His name is The Word of God.

bwe@Revelation:19:15 @ A long knife or sword comes from his mouth. With it he will punish and control the people of the nations. He will rule them with an iron stick. He is like the winepress that presses the water out of the fruit. It is the place where God, who has all power, shows his great anger.

bwe@Revelation:19:16 @ A name is written on his clothes and on his leg: it is King of kings, and Lord of lords.

bwe@Revelation:19:19 @ I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies. They were gathered to fight against the One riding the horse and his army.

bwe@Revelation:19:21 @ Their armies were killed by the man riding the horse. He killed them with the sword that came out of his mouth. All the birds ate all they wanted of their dead bodies.

bwe@Revelation:20:1 @ Then I saw an angel coming down from the sky. In his hand he had the key to the big hole that has no bottom, and a big chain.

bwe@Revelation:20:3 @ Then the angel threw him into the big hole that has no bottom. He shut it and locked him in. He did this so that the devil would not fool the nations again until the end of the thousand years. After that, the devil will be let free for a short time.

bwe@Revelation:20:5 @ The other dead people did not live again until the end of the thousand years. This is the first rising from death.

bwe@Revelation:20:6 @ God has blessed those who rise this first time, and they are holy. They will not die the second kind of death. But they will be priests of God and of Christ. They will rule with him for the thousand years.

bwe@Revelation:20:7 @ When the end of the thousand years comes, Satan will be set free from his prison.

bwe@Revelation:20:9 @ They marched far over the earth. They went all around the camp of Gods people and the city his people loved. Then fire came down from the sky and burned them.

bwe@Revelation:20:14 @ Then death and the world of the dead were thrown into the big fire. This fire is the second death.

bwe@Revelation:20:15 @ Every person whose name was not written in the book of life was thrown into this big fire.

bwe@Revelation:21:3 @ I heard a loud voice in heaven. It said, Look! Gods house is now set up among the people. God will live with them. They will be his people and God himself will be with them.

bwe@Revelation:21:5 @ The One who sat on the throne said, Look, I make all things new. And he said, Write this, because these words can be trusted. they are true.

bwe@Revelation:21:7 @ The one who wins will have these things. I will be his God and he will be my son.

bwe@Revelation:21:16 @ The city is square. It is as long as it is wide. The angel measured the city with his stick and it was about fifteen hundred miles. It is as long as it is wide and as high as it is long.

bwe@Revelation:22:3 @ Nothing that God hates will be in the city any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be there. And his servants will serve him.

bwe@Revelation:22:4 @ They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

bwe@Revelation:22:6 @ Then the angel said to me, These words can be trusted. They are true. The Lord God who gave his Spirit to the prophets has sent his angel to show his servants what must happen soon.

bwe@Revelation:22:7 @ Look! I will come soon! God will bless the person who obeys the words in this book.

bwe@Revelation:22:9 @ But He said to me, You must not do that. I am only a servant like you and your brothers, the prophets, and those who obey the words of this book. Worship God.

bwe@Revelation:22:10 @ The angel said to me, Do not keep secret the words of Gods message in this book. The time is near.

bwe@Revelation:22:18 @ I am talking to everyone who hears the words of Gods message in this book. If any one adds anything to this book, God will add to him the troubles that are written in this book.

bwe@Revelation:22:19 @ If any one takes away any of the words of Gods message, God will take away from him his share of the tree which gives life and the holy city. This book tells about them.
