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

bwe@Matthew: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:2:5 @ They told him, In Bethlehem in Judea. That is what the prophet, the man of God long ago, wrote:

bwe@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod called the wise men to talk with them secretly. He found out from them what time they saw the star.

bwe@Matthew:2:9 @ After they heard what the king said, they went away. And the star, which they had seen rising, went in front of them. It stopped above the place where the child was.

bwe@Matthew:2:16 @ Herod saw that the wise men had fooled him. He was very angry. He sent men to kill all the baby boys in the town of Bethlehem and around it. They killed all the boys who were two years old or less. Herod remembered what the wise men had told him about the time they first saw the star.

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:3:6 @ He baptised them in the Jordan River when they said how sorry they were for the wrong things they had done.

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:4:8 @ The devil took Jesus to a very high hill. He showed him all the countries of the world and how great they were.

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:4:20 @ Right away they left their nets and went with him.

bwe@Matthew:4:21 @ Jesus went on from there and saw two other brothers, James and John. Their fathers name was Zebedee. They were in the boat with their father mending their nets.

bwe@Matthew:5:16 @ So, let your light shine to all people. Then they will see the good things you do. And they will praise your Father in heaven.

bwe@Matthew:5:17 @ Do not think that I have come to take away the law and the writings of the prophets. No, I have not come to take them away. But I have come to do what they say must be done.

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:6:5 @ When you talk to God, do not be like people who are not true to themselves. They like to stand and talk to God in the meeting houses and at the street corners, so that people will see them. I tell you the truth. They have their reward already.

bwe@Matthew:6:7 @ And when you talk to God, do not say words that mean nothing, over and over again. People who do not believe in God do that. They think their god will hear them because they say many words.

bwe@Matthew:6:16 @ When you are fasting <FI>not eating food for a time<Fi>, do not look sad. That is what people do who are not true to themselves. They look sad to show people they are fasting. I tell you the truth. They have their reward already.

bwe@Matthew:6:26 @ Look at the birds that fly in the air. They do not plant or cut or keep any food. Yet your Father in heaven feeds them. Are you not worth more than birds?

bwe@Matthew:6:28 @ And why are you troubled about clothes? See how the flowers grow in the fields. They do not work or make cloth.

bwe@Matthew:7:6 @ Do not give what is holy to dogs. Do not throw your fine stones to pigs. They will walk all over them, and then turn and hurt you.

bwe@Matthew:7:15 @ Take care. There are prophets who are not true. They come to you dressed like sheep, but inside they are like wolves, bad animals that kill sheep.

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:7:20 @ So you will know them by the things they do, good or bad fruit.

bwe@Matthew:8:11 @ I tell you, many people will come from the east and from the west. They will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

bwe@Matthew:8:12 @ But those who were born in the kingdom will be put into the darkness outside. There they will cry and make noises with their teeth.

bwe@Matthew:8:25 @ The disciples came to Jesus and woke him. Lord, save us! they shouted. We will die!

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:8:28 @ Jesus came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarene people. There were graves in that place. Two men came from among the graves to meet him. They had bad spirits in them. They were so bad and strong that people feared to pass that way.

bwe@Matthew:8:29 @ They shouted, Jesus, Son of God, what do you want to do to us? Have you come here to punish us before it is our time?

bwe@Matthew:8:32 @ Jesus said, Go! The spirits came out of the men and went into the pigs. All the pigs ran fast down the steep hill into the sea. They died in the water.

bwe@Matthew:8:33 @ The men who cared for the pigs ran to the town. They told everything and what had happened to the men who had the bad spirits.

bwe@Matthew:8:34 @ All the people in the town came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged him to go away out of their country

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:9:4 @ Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said, Why do you think these wrong things in your heart?

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:9:14 @ Then Johns disciples came to Jesus. They said, We and the Pharisees fast. Why do your disciples not do the same?

bwe@Matthew:9:15 @ Jesus answered, The people at a wedding cannot be sad while the man who is married is with them. But the time will come when he will be taken away from them. Then they will not eat.

bwe@Matthew:9:17 @ People do not put new wine into old wine skins. If they do, the old skins break. The wine is lost and the skins are spoiled. New wine is put into new skins. And so they are both saved.

bwe@Matthew:9:24 @ He said to them, Go away. The girl is not dead, but sleeping. They laughed at him.

bwe@Matthew:9:25 @ The people were told to go outside. When they were out, he went in and took the girls hand. The girl got up.

bwe@Matthew:9:27 @ When Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him. They called out, Son of David, help us!

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:9:31 @ But they went away and told everybody in that part of the country about him.

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:9:36 @ He saw the many people and was sorry for them. They were troubled and they could not help themselves. They were like sheep with no one to care for them.

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:10:6 @ But go to the people of Israel. They are like lost sheep.

bwe@Matthew:10:17 @ But take care. Men will take you to their courts. They will beat you in their meeting houses.

bwe@Matthew:10:18 @ They will bring you to rulers and kings for my sake. Then you will talk about me to them and to those who are not Jews.

bwe@Matthew:10:23 @ When they trouble you in one town, go to another. I tell you the truth. You will not go to all the towns in Israel before the Son of Man comes.

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:10:28 @ Do not fear people who can kill the body. They cannot kill the spirit. But fear the one who can destroy both spirit and body in hell.

bwe@Matthew:11:16 @ What shall I say that the people of today are like? They are like children who sit in the market. They call to the other children.

bwe@Matthew:11:17 @ They say, "We played music for you, but you did not dance. We cried, but you did not cry."

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:11:21 @ He said, Chorazin! You will have trouble! Bethsaida! You will have trouble! If the big works I did in you had been done in the cities of Tyre and Sidon, the people there would have stopped their wrong ways long ago. They would wear the clothes people wear to show they are sad. They would sit in ashes.

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:12:2 @ The Pharisees saw them. They said to Jesus, Look! Your disciples are doing what is not right on the Sabbath day.

bwe@Matthew:12:5 @ Have you never read in the books of the law that the priests in the temple break the Sabbath law on the Sabbath day? They are not punished for it.

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:12:10 @ There was a man whose hand was thin and weak. The people asked Jesus, Is it right to heal a man on the Sabbath day? They wanted to find something wrong about Jesus.

bwe@Matthew:12:23 @ All the people were surprised. They said, Is he Davids son?

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:12:25 @ Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said to them, If one part of any country fights against the other part of the country, that country is broken down. If one part of any city or family fights against the other part of it, it cannot stand.

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

bwe@Matthew:12:39 @ But Jesus answered them, The people today are bad. They have gone away from God. They want a sign. No sign will be given them but the sign of the prophet Jonah.

bwe@Matthew:12:45 @ Then he goes and brings seven other spirits with him. They are worse than he is. They go in and live there. Now the man is worse than he was at first. That is how it will be for the wrong people of today.

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:12:47 @ Someone told him, Your mother and your brothers are standing outside. They want to talk to you.

bwe@Matthew:13:6 @ When the sun began to shine, it was too hot for the new plants. They died because they had no roots.

bwe@Matthew:13:11 @ Jesus answered them, You can learn the secret things about the kingdom of heaven. But they cannot learn them.

bwe@Matthew:13:13 @ That is why I tell them stories. They look, but they do not see. They listen, but they do not hear or understand.

bwe@Matthew:13:14 @ They make what Isaiah the prophet said long ago, come true. Isaiah said: "You will listen and listen, but you will not understand. You will look and look, but you will not see.

bwe@Matthew:13:15 @ The hearts of these people have no feeling. They do not hear well with their ears. And they have shut their eyes. They do not want to see with their eyes. They do not want to hear with their ears. They do not want to understand in their hearts. They do not want to turn to me. If they did turn, I would heal them."

bwe@Matthew:13:16 @ God is blessing your eyes because they see. God is blessing your ears because they hear.

bwe@Matthew:13:17 @ I tell you the truth. Many prophets and good men wanted to see what you see, but they did not see them. They wanted to hear what you hear, but they did not hear them.

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:13:36 @ 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:13:41 @ 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:13:42 @ They will put them into the big fire. There they will cry and make a noise with their teeth.

bwe@Matthew:13:48 @ When it was full, the men pulled it to the land. They sat down and picked out the good fish into baskets. But they threw the bad fish away.

bwe@Matthew:13:50 @ They will put the bad people into the never-ending hell fire. There they will cry and make a noise with their teeth.

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:13:57 @ 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:14:5 @ Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of the people. They thought John was a prophet, a man of God.

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:14:16 @ Jesus said to them, They need not go away. You give them food to eat.

bwe@Matthew:14:17 @ They said, We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish.

bwe@Matthew:14:20 @ They all ate and had enough. They gathered twelve baskets full of pieces that were left.

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:14:32 @ When they got into the boat, the wind stopped blowing.

bwe@Matthew:14:33 @ Then the men in the boat bowed down in front of Jesus. They said, You really are the Son of God.

bwe@Matthew:14:34 @ They crossed over the sea and came to the land at Gennesaret.

bwe@Matthew:14:35 @ The men there knew him and sent word to the people in all the country around. They brought all the sick people to him.

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

bwe@Matthew:15:2 @ They asked him, Why do your disciples break the law our fathers made? They do not wash their hands before they eat.

bwe@Matthew:15:9 @ They do not mean it in their hearts when they worship me. Their teachings are only the words of men."

bwe@Matthew:15:12 @ Then the disciples came to Jesus. They said, The Pharisees were angry when they heard what you said. Did you know that?

bwe@Matthew:15:14 @ Leave them alone. They are blind men who are trying to lead blind men. If a blind man leads a blind man, they will both fall into a hole.

bwe@Matthew:15:23 @ He said, I was sent only to the people of Israel. They are like lost sheep.

bwe@Matthew:15:29 @ Many people came to him. They brought sick people with them. Some were lame. Some were hurt. Some were blind. Some could not talk. And there were many others. They laid them down in front of Jesus. And he healed them.

bwe@Matthew:15:30 @ The people were surprised. They saw that people who had not been able to talk were talking. They saw that people who were hurt were made well. They saw that lame people were walking. They saw that blind people could see. And they praised the God of Israel.

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:15:33 @ Jesus said to them, How many loaves of bread have you? They said, We have seven, and a few small fish.

bwe@Matthew:15:36 @ They all ate and had enough. They gathered seven baskets full of pieces that were left.

bwe@Matthew:16:1 @ The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus. They wanted to test him, so they asked him to show them a sign from the sky.

bwe@Matthew:16:4 @ People today are wrong. They have gone away from God. They want a sign. No sign will be given them but the sign of Jonah. Then Jesus went away and left them.

bwe@Matthew:16:5 @ When the disciples reached the other side of the sea, they found they had forgotten to bring any bread with them.

bwe@Matthew:16:8 @ Jesus knew what they were saying. He said to them, You dont believe very much in me. Why are you saying to each other, "We have no bread".

bwe@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they understood that he was not talking about bread. He did not mean that the yeast of bread would spoil them. They understood that he was talking about the things the Pharisees and Sadducees taught.

bwe@Matthew:16:14 @ They answered, Some people say you are John the Baptizer. Others say you are Elijah. And others say you are Jeremiah or one of the prophets.

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:17:3 @ Then they saw Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus.

bwe@Matthew:17:6 @ When the disciples heard it, they bowed their faces to the ground. They were very much afraid.

bwe@Matthew:17:8 @ When they looked up, they saw no one but Jesus.

bwe@Matthew:17:9 @ When they came down the hill, Jesus said to them, Do not tell anyone what you saw. Do not tell it until after the Son of Man has been raised from death.

bwe@Matthew:17:12 @ I tell you that Elijah has come already. The people did not know him. And they did to him just what they wanted to do. So also the Son of Man will be troubled by them.

bwe@Matthew:17:14 @ They came to the people. A man came and kneeled in front of Jesus.

bwe@Matthew:17:16 @ I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.

bwe@Matthew:17:19 @ Then the disciples came to Jesus alone. They asked him, Why could we not drive the bad spirit out?

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:17:24 @ They came to Capernaum. There the men who were collecting the tax for the temple came to Peter. They asked him, Does not your teacher pay the tax for the temple?

bwe@Matthew:17:25 @ Peter said, Yes, he does. When he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him about it first. He said, Simon, what do you think? From whom do kings on earth take taxes? Do they take them from their own people or from other people?

bwe@Matthew:18:1 @ The disciples came to Jesus at that time. They said, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

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:18:31 @ The other servants saw what he did. They were very sad. They went and told their master everything that had been done.

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:19:6 @ So they are not two people any more, but they are one person. Man must not separate what God has joined together.

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:19:12 @ 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:19:25 @ When the disciples heard this, they were very much surprised. They said, Then who can be saved?

bwe@Matthew:20:3 @ About nine oclock he went out again. He saw some men standing around at the market. They were not working.

bwe@Matthew:20:4 @ He said to them, "You go out to work on the farm too. I will pay you what is right." And they went to work.

bwe@Matthew:20:7 @ They said, "No man has asked us to work." So he said to them, "You go out to work on the farm too."

bwe@Matthew:20:10 @ Those who started work first thought they would get more than that. But they also were paid a days wages.

bwe@Matthew:20:11 @ They took it, but they were angry and talked against the man who owned the farm.

bwe@Matthew:20:12 @ They said, "These men came last, and worked only one hour. Yet you paid them the same as you paid us. We worked all day, when the sun was hot."

bwe@Matthew:20:18 @ He said to them, We are going to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be given over to the chief priests and scribes. They will judge him and say he must die.

bwe@Matthew:20:19 @ They will give him over to rulers who are not Jews. They will make fun of him. They will beat him and nail him to a cross. On the third day, he will be raised.

bwe@Matthew:20:22 @ But Jesus said, You do not know what you are asking for. Can you drink from the cup that I will drink? Yes, they said. We can.

bwe@Matthew:20:24 @ When the other ten disciples heard about it, they were angry with the two brothers.

bwe@Matthew:20:30 @ Two blind men were sitting by the road. They heard that Jesus was passing that way. So they shouted, Sir, you are the Son of David. Help us!

bwe@Matthew:20:31 @ The people said to them, Be quiet! But they shouted louder, Sir, Son of David! Help us!

bwe@Matthew:20:33 @ They said, Sir, we want to see.

bwe@Matthew:20:34 @ Jesus was very sorry for them as he shared in their suffering. He touched their eyes, and right then they were able to see. They went with him.

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:21:2 @ He said to them, Go into the village in front of you. As soon as you go in, you will find a donkey for riding, and her young one. They are tied there. Untie them and bring them to me.

bwe@Matthew:21:7 @ They brought the donkey and her young one. They put their coats on them. Then Jesus got on to ride.

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

bwe@Matthew:21:15 @ The chief priests and the scribes saw the big works that Jesus did. They saw the children calling out in the temple, God save the Son of David! They were angry.

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:21:20 @ The disciples saw it and were surprised. They said, So soon the fig tree has died!

bwe@Matthew:21:23 @ He came to the temple and went in and taught the people. The chief priests and the leaders of the people came to him. They asked, What right have you to do these things? Who gave you the right to do them?

bwe@Matthew:21:25 @ Who gave John the right to baptise people? Did God or did men? So they talked it over together. They said, If we say, "God gave John the right to do it," he will say to us, "Then why did you not believe him?"

bwe@Matthew:21:27 @ So they answered Jesus, We do not know. Then Jesus said, Neither will I tell you what right I have to do these things.

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:21:35 @ The men caught the servants. They beat one of them and killed another one of them. They threw stones at another one.

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:21:39 @ They caught him, dragged him off the farm, and killed him.

bwe@Matthew:21:41 @ They answered, He will kill those bad men, and will give the farm to other men who will give him the fruit when it is time.

bwe@Matthew:21:43 @ So I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you. It will be given to the people who do what they should do in it.

bwe@Matthew:21:45 @ The chief priests and the Pharisees heard the stories Jesus told, and they knew he was talking about them.

bwe@Matthew:21:46 @ They wanted to catch him, but they feared the people. The people thought Jesus was a prophet.

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:22:10 @ So those servants went out on the roads. They brought all the people they could find, both bad and good people. Then the room was full of people for the wedding.

bwe@Matthew:22:15 @ Then the Pharisees went away. They planned how to make Jesus say something wrong.

bwe@Matthew:22:16 @ They sent their disciples to him with some of Herods people. They said, Teacher, we know that you are true. We know that you teach the true way of God. You do not fear any person, or care how great he is.

bwe@Matthew:22:18 @ Jesus knew they were trying to get him into trouble. So he said to them, Why are you trying to get me to do wrong? You are not true to yourselves!

bwe@Matthew:22:19 @ Show me a piece of money used for tax. They brought him a piece of money.

bwe@Matthew:22:21 @ They said, Caesars.Then he said to them, Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. And give to God what belongs to God.

bwe@Matthew:22:22 @ When they heard that, they were surprised. They left him and went away.

bwe@Matthew:22:23 @ The same day some of the Sadducees came to Jesus. They say that people do not rise from death.

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

bwe@Matthew:22:30 @ When people rise from death, men and women do not marry. But they are like angels in heaven.

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

bwe@Matthew:22:34 @ The Pharisees heard that the Sadducees could not answer Jesus. So they got together.

bwe@Matthew:22:42 @ He said, What do you think about Christ? Whose son is he? They said, He is Davids son.

bwe@Matthew:23:3 @ So obey and do everything they tell you to do. But do not do what they do. They say what should be done, but they do it not.

bwe@Matthew:23:4 @ They make heavy loads and put them on peoples backs. But they themselves will not put up even one finger to help carry the loads.

bwe@Matthew:23:5 @ They do all their work to be seen by people. They wear bigger and bigger boxes with Gods word in. And they make wider and wider borders on their gowns.

bwe@Matthew:23:6 @ They want to sit in the best places at the feasts. They want to have the front seats in the meeting houses.

bwe@Matthew:23:7 @ They want people to greet them in the market, and to call them "Teacher".

bwe@Matthew:23:25 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You wash the outside of a cup and a dish clean. But inside they are full of greed and wrong ways!

bwe@Matthew:23:27 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You are like graves that have been painted white. Outside they look very nice. But inside they are full of dead mens bones and all kinds of dirt.

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:24:2 @ But Jesus answered them, Do you see these buildings? I tell you the truth. Not one stone here will be left on top of another stone. They will all be thrown down!

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:24:5 @ Many men will come in my name. They will say, "I am the Christ". They will fool many people.

bwe@Matthew:24:10 @ Then many people will stop believing. They will give one another over to trouble. They will hate one another.

bwe@Matthew:24:11 @ Many people will come and say they are prophets of God. But they will not be true. They will fool many people.

bwe@Matthew:24:24 @ People will come and say they are the Christ. People will come and say they are prophets. But they are not true. They will show big signs and do wonderful things to fool people. They will fool Gods chosen people if they can.

bwe@Matthew:24:25 @ Watch! I have told you these things before they happen.

bwe@Matthew:24:26 @ So if people say to you, "He is in the wilderness," do not go there. If they say, "He is hiding somewhere," do not believe it.

bwe@Matthew:24:30 @ Then people will see the sign of the Son of Man in the sky. Then all the people of the earth will cry. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds in the sky. He will have much power and will be very great.

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:25:5 @ It was a long time before the man came, so they all went to sleep.

bwe@Matthew:25:7 @ Then all the young women woke up. They cleaned their lamps.

bwe@Matthew:25:10 @ While they went away to buy oil, the man came. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast. Then the door was shut.

bwe@Matthew:25:11 @ After that, the other women also came. They called, "Sir, sir, open the door for us."

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:25:40 @ The King will answer them, "I tell you the truth. What you did for even the smallest of these people you did for me. They are my brothers."

bwe@Matthew:25:44 @ Then they will also ask, "Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or needing clothes, or sick, or in prison, and did not help you?"

bwe@Matthew:25:46 @ And they will go away to be punished for ever. But the good people will go away to live for ever.

bwe@Matthew:26:4 @ They planned how to catch Jesus by some trick and have him killed.

bwe@Matthew:26:5 @ But they said, Let us not do it on the day of the feast. We do not want the people to start fighting about it.

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

bwe@Matthew:26:15 @ He said, What will you give me if I help you catch Jesus? They gave him thirty pieces of silver money.

bwe@Matthew:26:19 @ The disciples did what Jesus told them. They made the Passover food ready.

bwe@Matthew:26:21 @ As they were eating, Jesus said, I tell you the truth. One of you will give me over to people who hate me.

bwe@Matthew:26:22 @ They were very sad and troubled. One after the other they began to say to him, Lord, is it I?

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

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

bwe@Matthew:26:30 @ They sang a song and then went out to the hill called the Mount of Olives.

bwe@Matthew:26:43 @ Jesus went back again and found the disciples sleeping. They could not keep their eyes open.

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:26:59 @ The chief priests and all the judges of the court tried to find men to say Jesus had done something wrong so they could kill him.

bwe@Matthew:26:60 @ But they found nothing. Many people came and said things that were not true. At last two men came.

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:26:66 @ What do you think? They said, He should be killed.

bwe@Matthew:26:67 @ Then they spat on Jesus face and hit him. Others slapped him with their hands.

bwe@Matthew:26:68 @ They said, Christ, tell us, if you know who hit you!

bwe@Matthew:27:1 @ When it was morning, all the chief priests and the leaders of the people made a plan against Jesus. They wanted to kill him.

bwe@Matthew:27:2 @ They tied him and took him away. They took him to Pilate, the ruler.

bwe@Matthew:27:3 @ Judas was the man who helped them take Jesus. He saw that they had judged Jesus and were going to kill him. He was sorry for what he had done, so he brought the thirty pieces of silver money back to the chief priests and leaders.

bwe@Matthew:27:4 @ He said, I have done wrong. I have helped you take a good man who should not be killed. They said, What do we care? You look after that!

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:27:7 @ They talked the matter over and bought a field that belonged to a man who made pots. They bought it for a place in which to bury strangers.

bwe@Matthew:27:9 @ What Jeremiah the prophet said long ago, then came true at that time. He said, They took thirty pieces of silver money. That is what the people of Israel said he was worth.

bwe@Matthew:27:10 @ They paid for the potters field. That is what the Lord told me to do.

bwe@Matthew:27:15 @ At the feast Pilate used to let one prisoner free. He let the people choose the man they wanted to go free.

bwe@Matthew:27:18 @ Pilate knew that the chief priests did not like Jesus. He knew that was why they had brought Jesus to him.

bwe@Matthew:27:20 @ The chief priests and leaders talked to the people. They told them to ask Pilate to let Barabbas go free, but to kill Jesus.

bwe@Matthew:27:21 @ The ruler said to the people, Which of these two do you want me to let go free for you? They said, Barabbas.

bwe@Matthew:27:22 @ Pilate said to them, Then what shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all said, Nail him to a cross!

bwe@Matthew:27:23 @ The ruler said, What wrong thing has he done? But they shouted even more, Nail him to a cross!

bwe@Matthew:27:27 @ Then Pilates soldiers took Jesus to a room. They called all the soldiers together.

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:27:30 @ They spat on him. And they took the stick and hit him on the head with it.

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:27:32 @ As they were going, they met a man named Simon. He was born in the country of Cyrene. They made him carry Jesus cross.

bwe@Matthew:27:33 @ They came to a place called Golgotha. That means, The place of a head bone.

bwe@Matthew:27:34 @ They wanted Jesus to drink wine mixed with something bitter. Jesus tasted it but he would not drink it.

bwe@Matthew:27:35 @ Then they nailed him to a cross. They gambled to see how they should divide Jesus clothes.

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:27:38 @ Two bad men were also nailed to crosses. They had stolen money. One man was put on the right side of Jesus and one was put on the left side of him.

bwe@Matthew:27:39 @ The people who passed by said bad things about him. They shook their heads.

bwe@Matthew:27:40 @ They said, You are the man who said you could break down the temple and build it again in three days. Save yourself! If you are really Gods Son, come down from the cross.

bwe@Matthew:27:42 @ They said, He saved other people but he cannot save himself! If he is the King of the people of Israel, he should come down from the cross now. Then we will believe in him.

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

bwe@Matthew:27:53 @ They came out of their graves after Jesus rose from death. They went into Jerusalem. Many people saw them there.

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:27:55 @ Many women were there watching from far away. They had come with Jesus from Galilee and had helped him.

bwe@Matthew:27:61 @ Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there. They sat where they could see the grave.

bwe@Matthew:27:63 @ They said, Sir, that man fooled people. We remember what he said when he was still living. He said that he would rise after three days.

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:28:4 @ The soldiers who were guarding the grave saw him and shook with fear. They fell down like dead men.

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:28:10 @ Then Jesus said to them, Do not fear. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee. They will see me there.

bwe@Matthew:28:11 @ While the women were going, some of the soldiers who had guarded the grave came into the city. They told the chief priests all that had happened.

bwe@Matthew:28:12 @ The chief priests had a meeting with the leaders of the people and talked the matter over. They gave much money to the soldiers.

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:28:15 @ 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@Matthew:28:16 @ The eleven disciples went to Galilee. They went to the hill where Jesus had told them to meet him.

bwe@Matthew:28:17 @ When they saw him, they bowed down in front of him. But some people were not sure.

bwe@Mark:1:4 @ John baptised people in the desert. He told them to stop doing wrong things and be baptised, and God would forgive them for the wrong things they did.

bwe@Mark:1:5 @ People from all the land of Judea and all the city of Jerusalem went out to John. He baptised them in the Jordan River when they told about the wrong things they did.

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:1:18 @ Right away they left their nets and went with him.

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:1:20 @ Jesus called them. Right away they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the workmen and went with Jesus.

bwe@Mark:1:21 @ They went to the town of Capernaum. As soon as it was the Sabbath day, Jesus went into their meeting house and taught the people.

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:1:29 @ As soon as they came out of the meeting house, they went to the home of Simon and Andrew. James and John went also.

bwe@Mark:1:30 @ Simons wifes mother was sick and was lying down. She had a fever. Right away they told Jesus about her.

bwe@Mark:1:34 @ He healed many sick people. He drove the bad spirits out of people. And he did not let them speak because they knew who he was.

bwe@Mark:1:37 @ When they found him they said, Everyone is looking for you.

bwe@Mark:2:4 @ But they could not get in the house where Jesus was, because there were so many people. So they went up on the roof. They made a hole in the roof. Then they let down the mat with the sick man on it.

bwe@Mark:2:5 @ Jesus saw that they believed he would be healed. So he said to the sick man, Son, the wrong things you have done are forgiven.

bwe@Mark:2:7 @ They were thinking, Why does this man say such wrong things against God? He is not giving God respect! Who can forgive the wrong things people do? No one but God can do that.

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

bwe@Mark: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:2:16 @ The scribes and Pharisees saw that Jesus ate with these people. They said to the disciples, Why does he eat and drink with bad people?

bwe@Mark:2:20 @ But the time will come when he will be taken away from them. Then they will fast.

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:3:2 @ The Pharisees watched Jesus to see if he would heal the man on the Sabbath day. They wanted to find something wrong about Jesus.

bwe@Mark:3:4 @ Then he spoke to the Pharisees. He said, Is it right to do good things on the Sabbath day or to do wrong things? Is it right to heal people so they will live, or to let them die? But the Pharisees said nothing.

bwe@Mark:3:6 @ The Pharisees went out. Right away they and the servants of King Herod planned together how to kill Jesus.

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:3:11 @ When the bad spirits saw Jesus, they bowed down before him. They shouted, You are Gods Son!

bwe@Mark:3:12 @ He told them they must not tell anyone who he was.

bwe@Mark:3:13 @ Then Jesus went up on the hill. He wanted some of the people to come with him. So he called them and they came.

bwe@Mark:3:20 @ So many people came again that they could not even eat.

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:3:31 @ Jesus mother and brothers came to him. They stood outside. They sent someone to him.

bwe@Mark:3:32 @ Many people were sitting around him. They said, See, your mother and your brothers are outside. They want you.

bwe@Mark:4:6 @ When the sun began to shine, it was too hot for the new plants. They died because they had no roots.

bwe@Mark:4:12 @ They may look and look, but they will not see. They may listen and listen, but they will not understand. If they did understand, they would turn back to God and he would forgive them for the wrong things they have done.

bwe@Mark:4:15 @ Those beside the road are like people who hear the message. But as soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes it out of their hearts

bwe@Mark:4:16 @ The seed that fell on the stony ground is the same. It is like people who hear the message and as soon as they hear it they are very glad.

bwe@Mark:4:17 @ They believe it for a short time. When trouble or a hard time comes because of the message, they stop believing.

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:4:21 @ Then Jesus said to them, People do not bring a light and put it under a basket or under a bed. But they put it on the place for a lamp.

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:4:38 @ 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:5:1 @ They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarene people.

bwe@Mark:5:13 @ Jesus let them go right away. The bad spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs. The pigs ran fast down the steep hill into the sea. They died in the water. The number of pigs was about two thousand.

bwe@Mark:5:14 @ Then the men who cared for the pigs ran away. They told the people in the city and all around the country about it. The people went out to see what had happened.

bwe@Mark:5:15 @ They came to Jesus. They saw the man who had the many bad spirits in him. He was sitting with clothes on and was not crazy any more. The people were afraid.

bwe@Mark:5:16 @ Those who had seen it told them what had happened to the man who used to have many bad spirits. And they told about the pigs.

bwe@Mark:5:35 @ While Jesus was still talking, some people came from the rulers house. They said, Your daughter has died. Why trouble the Teacher any more?

bwe@Mark:5:38 @ They came to the rulers house. Jesus saw that there was trouble. People were crying and making much noise because the rulers daughter had died.

bwe@Mark:5:40 @ They laughed at him. So he sent them all outside. Then he took the girls father and mother and the three disciples into the room where the girl was lying.

bwe@Mark:6:11 @ In some places the people will not take you in. They will not listen to what you say. When you leave such a town, shake the dust off your feet. That will be a warning to them. I tell you the truth. On the day when people are judged, the people in that town will be punished harder than the people in the country of Sodom and Gomorrah.

bwe@Mark:6:12 @ The disciples went out and told the people that they should stop doing wrong things.

bwe@Mark:6:13 @ They drove bad spirits out of many people. They also put oil on many 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:6:29 @ When Johns disciples heard of it, they came and took his body and buried it.

bwe@Mark:6:30 @ The apostles came back to Jesus. They told him all they had done and taught.

bwe@Mark:6:31 @ Jesus said to them, Come away with me. Let us go alone to a quiet place and rest for a while. Many people were coming and going. They could not even eat.

bwe@Mark:6:32 @ So they went away in a boat to a lonely place by themselves.

bwe@Mark:6:34 @ When the boat got there, Jesus saw the many people. He was very sorry for them because they were like sheep with no one to care for them. He began to teach them many things.

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:6:36 @ Send these people away to farms and villages to buy food for themselves. They have nothing to eat.

bwe@Mark:6:37 @ Jesus said, You give them food to eat. They said, Shall we go and buy a lot of bread and give them to eat?

bwe@Mark:6:38 @ He said, Go and see how much bread you have. When they knew, they told him, We have five loaves of bread and two fish.

bwe@Mark:6:42 @ They all ate and had enough.

bwe@Mark:6:43 @ Then they gathered twelve baskets full of pieces that were left.

bwe@Mark:6:49 @ But when they saw him walking on the water, they thought it was a spirit. They shouted loudly.

bwe@Mark:6:50 @ They all saw him and were very much afraid. He spoke to them right away. He said, Be glad! It is I. Do not fear.

bwe@Mark:6:51 @ Then he got in the boat with them. The wind stopped. They were very much surprised and did not know what to say.

bwe@Mark:6:52 @ They did not understand the lesson about the bread because their minds were too slow.

bwe@Mark:6:53 @ They crossed over the sea and came to the land at Gennesaret. They came to shore.

bwe@Mark:6:55 @ They went quickly to all the country around. They brought sick people in their beds to the place where they heard Jesus was.

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:7:2 @ They saw some of the disciples eating food. They had not washed their hands before they ate. The Pharisees said that was wrong.

bwe@Mark:7:3 @ They and all the Jews keep the laws made by men. God did not give them those laws. They do not eat until they wash their hands very well.

bwe@Mark:7:4 @ When they come from the market, they do not eat until they have washed themselves. They also keep many other laws such as washing cups, pots, brass pans, and beds.

bwe@Mark:7:5 @ The Pharisees and the scribes asked Jesus, Why do your disciples not keep the law our fathers made? Why do they eat with hands that are not clean?

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:7:26 @ But Jesus said to her, We will give the children all they want to eat first. It is not right to take the childrens food and give it to the little dogs.

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:7:35 @ Jesus said, Do not tell anyone. But the more he told them not to tell, the more they told it everywhere.

bwe@Mark:7:36 @ The people were very much surprised. They said, He has done everything well. The people who could not hear can hear. The people who could not talk can talk.

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

bwe@Mark:8:2 @ I share the suffering of the people. They have been with me for three days and they have nothing to eat.

bwe@Mark:8:3 @ If I send them home hungry, they will get weak and fall on the way. Some of them have come a long way.

bwe@Mark:8:5 @ Jesus asked them, How many loaves of bread have you? They said, Seven.

bwe@Mark:8:6 @ He told the people to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves of bread and thanked God for them. Then he broke the bread and gave it to the disciples. They gave it to the people.

bwe@Mark:8:7 @ They had a few small fish. Jesus told the disciples to divide the fish among the people also.

bwe@Mark:8:8 @ The people ate and had enough. They gathered seven baskets full of pieces that were left.

bwe@Mark:8:11 @ The Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus. They wanted to test him. So they asked him to show them a sign from the sky.

bwe@Mark:8:14 @ The disciples forgot to take food. They had only one loaf of bread with them in the boat.

bwe@Mark:8:16 @ The disciples talked to one another about the matter. They said, He says that because we have no bread.

bwe@Mark:8:17 @ Jesus knew what they were saying. He asked, Why are you saying, "We have no bread"? Do you not yet understand? Are your minds so slow?

bwe@Mark:8:19 @ When I broke five loaves for five thousand people, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you gather? They said, Twelve.

bwe@Mark:8:20 @ He said, When I broke seven loaves for four thousand people, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you gather? They said, Seven.

bwe@Mark:8:22 @ Then they came to Bethsaida. Some people brought a blind man to Jesus. They begged him to touch the man.

bwe@Mark:8:24 @ The man looked up and said, I see men, but they look like trees that are walking.

bwe@Mark:8:28 @ They answered, People say that you are John the Baptizer. Others say that you are Elijah. And others say that you are one of the prophets from long ago.

bwe@Mark:9:1 @ Jesus said to them, I tell you the truth. Some people are standing here who will not die before they see the kingdom of God come with power.

bwe@Mark:9:4 @ Then they saw Elijah and Moses talking with Jesus.

bwe@Mark:9:6 @ Peter did not know what to say because they were very much afraid.

bwe@Mark:9:8 @ They quickly looked around but they saw no one except Jesus there with them.

bwe@Mark:9:9 @ When they came down the hill, Jesus said to them, Do not tell anyone what you saw. Do not tell it until after the Son of Man has been raised from death.

bwe@Mark:9:10 @ So they kept these things to themselves, asking each other what he meant about rising from death.

bwe@Mark:9:11 @ Then they asked Jesus, Why do the scribes <FI>who know all about the holy writings<Fi> say that first Elijah must come?

bwe@Mark:9:12 @ He said, Elijah does come first. He will get everything ready. But why do the holy writings say that the Son of Man must have much trouble? They say, "He will have much trouble and the people will not respect him."

bwe@Mark:9:13 @ I tell you that Elijah has come. The people did to him just what they wanted to do. They did just as it is written about him.

bwe@Mark:9:14 @ When they came to the disciples, they saw many people around them. Some scribes were talking with the disciples.

bwe@Mark:9:15 @ The people were all very much surprised when they saw Jesus. They ran to him and greeted him.

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:9:28 @ 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:9:30 @ Then they left that place and went through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know it.

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:9:32 @ The disciples did not understand what he said and they were afraid to ask him.

bwe@Mark:9:33 @ They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked the disciples, What were you talking about on the way coming?

bwe@Mark:9:34 @ But they said nothing, because on the road they had been talking among themselves about who was the greatest person.

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:10:4 @ They said, Moses allowed a man to write a paper to show that he does not want her any more. Then he may send her away.

bwe@Mark:10:8 @ The two of them will be like one person. So they are not two people any more, but they are one person.

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

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:10:26 @ They were very much surprised. They said, Then who can be saved?

bwe@Mark:10:33 @ He said, We are going to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be given over to the chief priests and the scribes. They will judge him and say he must die. They will give him over to rulers who are not Jews.

bwe@Mark:10:34 @ They will make fun of him. They will spit on him. They will beat him and kill him. After three days, he will rise again.

bwe@Mark:10:37 @ They said, Let one of us sit at your right side and one at your left side when you rule.

bwe@Mark:10:39 @ Yes, they said. We can. Then Jesus said to them, You will drink what I drink and you will have trouble the way I will have.

bwe@Mark:10:41 @ When the other ten disciples heard about it, they were angry with James and John.

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:10:49 @ Jesus stopped and said, Call him. They called the blind man and said to him, Be glad! Come, get up! He is calling you.

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:11:4 @ The disciples went. They found the animal tied outside a door in the street. They untied it.

bwe@Mark:11:6 @ The disciples said what Jesus had told them to say. So they let them go.

bwe@Mark:11:7 @ They brought it to Jesus and laid their coats on it. He got on it.

bwe@Mark:11:12 @ In the morning when they were on the way out of Bethany, Jesus was hungry.

bwe@Mark:11:15 @ They reached Jerusalem. Jesus went into the temple. He began to drive out the people who were buying and selling in the temple. He threw down the tables of the money changers. He pushed down the seats of those who sold doves.

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:11:20 @ The next morning they passed the fig tree again. They saw that it had died from the roots.

bwe@Mark:11:25 @ When you stand and talk with God, forgive others for the wrong things they have done to you. Then your Father in heaven will also forgive you for the wrong things you have done.

bwe@Mark:11:27 @ They came to Jerusalem again. Jesus walked in the temple. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders came to him.

bwe@Mark:11:28 @ They said, What right have you to do these things? Who gave you the right to do them?

bwe@Mark:11:31 @ So they talked it over together. They said, If we say, "God gave John the right," he will say, "Then why did you not believe him?"

bwe@Mark:11:32 @ But what if we say, "Men gave him the right to do it"? They feared the people because they all believed that John was a prophet of God.

bwe@Mark:11:33 @ So they answered Jesus, We do not know. Then Jesus said, Neither will I tell you what right I have to do these things.

bwe@Mark:12:3 @ The men took the servant and beat him. They sent him away without any fruit.

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

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:12:13 @ They sent some Pharisees and some of Herods people to Jesus. They planned how to make Jesus say something wrong.

bwe@Mark:12:14 @ They came and said to him, Teacher, we know that you are true. You do not fear any person or care how great he is. But you teach the true way of God. Tell us, is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or is it not?

bwe@Mark:12:15 @ Should we pay taxes or not? Jesus knew they were trying to get him into trouble. So he said to them, Why are you trying to get me to do wrong? Bring me a piece of money. Let me look at it.

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

bwe@Mark:12:18 @ Some of the Sadducees came to Jesus. They say that people do not rise from death. They asked Jesus a question.

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:12:22 @ All seven brothers married her. They all had no children. Last of all the woman died also.

bwe@Mark:12:25 @ When people rise from death, men and women do not marry. But they are like angels in heaven.

bwe@Mark:12:38 @ Jesus went on to teach them. He said, Take care. Do not let the scribes fool you by the way they do things. They like to walk about with long gowns. They want people to greet them in the market.

bwe@Mark:12:39 @ They want to sit in the front seats in the meeting houses. They want to sit in the best places at feasts.

bwe@Mark:12:40 @ They take away the homes of women whose husbands are dead. They cover up the wrong things they do by talking to God a long time. They will be punished more!

bwe@Mark:12:44 @ All these people had plenty of money and they gave only a part of it. She was poor and she gave everything she had. She has nothing left to live on.

bwe@Mark:13:2 @ Jesus said, You see these big houses? I tell you, not one stone here will be left on top of another. They will all be thrown down!

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:13:6 @ Many men will come in my name. They will say, "I am Christ." They will fool many people.

bwe@Mark:13:9 @ But you must take care. Men will take you to court. They will beat you in their meeting houses. They will take you to rulers and kings because you are true to me. You will talk to them about me.

bwe@Mark:13:22 @ People will come and say they are the Christ. People will come and say they are prophets of God. But they are not true to themselves. They will show big signs and do wonderful things that will fool people. They will fool Gods chosen people if they can.

bwe@Mark:13:23 @ Watch! I have told you all these things before they happen.

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:14:1 @ The Passover Feast and the feast with bread that has no yeast in it was two days later. The chief priests and the scribes planned how to catch Jesus by some trick. They wanted to kill him.

bwe@Mark:14:2 @ But they said, Let us not do it on the day of the feast. We do not want the people to start fighting about it.

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:14:11 @ They were glad when they heard that. They promised to give him money. So he watched for a good way to help them catch Jesus.

bwe@Mark:14:16 @ The disciples went to the city. They found everything just as he had said. There they made the Passover food ready.

bwe@Mark:14:18 @ While they were sitting at the table eating, Jesus said, I tell you the truth. One of you who is eating with me will give me over to people who hate me.

bwe@Mark:14:19 @ They were sad and troubled. One after the other began to say to him, Lord, is it I?

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:14:23 @ He also took a cup. He thanked God for it. Then he gave it to them. They all drank some of it.

bwe@Mark:14:26 @ They sang a song and then went out to the hill called Olives.

bwe@Mark:14:31 @ Peter said, Even if I must die with you, I will never say I do not know you! They all said the same thing.

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:14:40 @ Jesus went back again and found the disciples sleeping. They could not keep their eyes open. They did not know what to say to Jesus.

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:14:46 @ Then they caught Jesus and held him.

bwe@Mark:14:55 @ The chief priests, and all the judges of the court tried to find men to say Jesus had done something wrong so they could kill him. But they found none.

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:14:64 @ What he has said is wrong! What do you think? They all said, He should be killed.

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:15:1 @ As soon as it was morning, the chief priests, leaders, and the scribes talked together. They tied Jesus and took him before Pilate to be judged.

bwe@Mark:15:6 @ At the feast Pilate used to let one prisoner free. He let the people choose the man they wanted to go free.

bwe@Mark:15:8 @ The people started shouting. They asked Pilate to let one prisoner free, as he used to do.

bwe@Mark:15:10 @ He knew that the chief priests did not like Jesus. He knew that was why they brought Jesus to him.

bwe@Mark:15:11 @ But the chief priests talked to the people. They told them to ask Pilate to let Barabbas go free.

bwe@Mark:15:13 @ They shouted back, Nail him to a cross!

bwe@Mark:15:14 @ Pilate then asked, Why, what wrong thing has he done? But they shouted even more, Nail him to a cross!

bwe@Mark:15:16 @ The soldiers took Jesus to a room. They called all the soldiers together.

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:15:18 @ Then they began to speak to him as if he were a king. They shouted, Greetings, King of the Jews!

bwe@Mark:15:19 @ They hit him on the head with a stick and spat on him. They kneeled down before him as if to give him great respect.

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:15:22 @ They took Jesus to Golgotha. That means the place of a head bone.

bwe@Mark:15:23 @ They wanted Jesus to drink wine mixed with something bitter. But Jesus would not drink it.

bwe@Mark:15:24 @ Then they nailed him to a cross. They gambled to see how they should divide Jesus clothes.

bwe@Mark:15:25 @ It was nine oclock in the morning when they nailed him on the cross.

bwe@Mark:15:26 @ They put the complaint they had against him above Jesus head. It was, The King of the Jews.

bwe@Mark:15:27 @ They also nailed two bad men on crosses there. One was put on the right side of Jesus and one was put on the left side of Jesus.

bwe@Mark:15:29 @ The people who passed by said wrong things about him. They shook their heads and said, Ha, ha! You are the man who said you could break down the temple and build it again in three days.

bwe@Mark:15:35 @ Some of the people standing there heard what Jesus said. They said, Listen, he is calling for Elijah!

bwe@Mark:15:41 @ When Jesus was in Galilee, they came with him and helped him. Some other women who had come to Jerusalem with Jesus were also watching.

bwe@Mark:15:47 @ Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where they laid Jesus.

bwe@Mark:16:1 @ The Sabbath day was past. Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome came to the grave. They brought spices that smelled very nice to put on the body of Jesus.

bwe@Mark:16:2 @ They came to the grave on the first day of the week. It was very early in the morning. The sun was beginning to shine.

bwe@Mark:16:4 @ The stone was very big. When they looked up they saw that the stone was rolled away.

bwe@Mark:16:5 @ So they went in the grave. They saw a young man dressed in a white gown. He sat at the right side. They were very much surprised.

bwe@Mark:16:6 @ He said, Do not be surprised. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth who was nailed to a cross. He is risen. He is not here. Look, here is where they laid him.

bwe@Mark:16:8 @ Then they left the grave quickly. They were trembling and afraid. They did not talk to anyone about it because they were afraid.

bwe@Mark:16:10 @ She went and told the disciples that she had seen him. They were still crying because Jesus was dead.

bwe@Mark:16:11 @ Mary told them that he was living. She had seen him. But they would not believe it.

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@Mark:16:13 @ They went back and told the rest of the disciples, but they would not believe them either.

bwe@Mark:16:14 @ Then after that Jesus showed himself to the eleven disciples while they were eating. He said it was very bad for them not to believe and for their minds to be slow. He said they should have believed those who saw him after he rose from death.

bwe@Mark:16:17 @ These signs will be with those who believe. They will drive bad spirits out of people by using my name. They will speak new languages.

bwe@Mark:16:18 @ They will take up snakes. If they drink poison, it will not make them sick. They will put their hands on sick people and sick people will get well again.

bwe@Mark:16:20 @ Then the disciples went and told the good news everywhere. The Lord worked with them. He made their words come true by the signs that happened after they talked.

bwe@Luke:1:2 @ These things were told us by men who saw them happen from the time they began to happen. And these men helped tell the good news.

bwe@Luke:1:6 @ Both of them were good people as God saw them. They obeyed all the laws and the things that the Lord said they should do.

bwe@Luke:1:7 @ But they had no children. Elizabeth was not able to have a baby and they were both very old.

bwe@Luke:1:17 @ He will go ahead of the Lord. He will have the spirit and power of Elijah. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children. And he will bring back the people who do not obey, so that they will want to do what good people do. He will make people ready for the Lord.

bwe@Luke:1:21 @ the people were waiting for Zechariah to come out of the temple. They were surprised that he stayed in so long.

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:1:58 @ When her neighbours and family heard that the Lord had been so kind to her, they were glad, too.

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:1:61 @ They said to her, But no one in your family has that name.

bwe@Luke:1:62 @ They made signs to the father to find out what name he wanted the child to have.

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

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

bwe@Luke:2:6 @ While they were there, the time came for her baby to be born.

bwe@Luke:2:8 @ In the same part of the country, men were taking care of sheep. They were in the field watching their sheep at night.

bwe@Luke:2:9 @ An angel of the Lord came to them and a bright light from the Lord shone all around them. They were very much afraid.

bwe@Luke:2:13 @ All at once a great number of angels from heaven were with the angel. They were praising God.

bwe@Luke:2:14 @ They said, Praise God in the highest heaven! Peace on earth and loving mercy towards all people!

bwe@Luke:2:16 @ They went quickly. They found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the box where cows feed.

bwe@Luke:2:17 @ When they saw the child, they told what the angel had said to them about him.

bwe@Luke:2:20 @ Then the men who were taking care of the sheep went back. They praised and thanked God for all they had heard and seen. It was just as they had been told it would be.

bwe@Luke:2:21 @ When the child was eight days old, it was time to circumcise him. They named him Jesus. That was the name the angel gave him before the baby began to grow inside Mary.

bwe@Luke:2:24 @ They also came to make a sacrifice as an offering to God. The law of the Lord said, A pair of doves or two young pigeons.

bwe@Luke:2:27 @ He came into the temple, led by the Spirit. The parents brought in the child Jesus to do what the law said they should do about him.

bwe@Luke:2:39 @ The parents did everything that the law of the Lord said they should do. Then they went back to Galilee to their own town, Nazareth.

bwe@Luke:2:42 @ When Jesus was twelve years old, they went to Jerusalem for the feast as they always did.

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:2:44 @ They thought he was coming with the rest of the people. They travelled one day. Then they looked for him among their family and friends.

bwe@Luke:2:45 @ But they did not find him. So they went back to Jerusalem and looked for him.

bwe@Luke:2:46 @ On the third day they found him in the temple. He was sitting in front of the teachers of the law. He was listening to them and asking them questions.

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:2:50 @ They did not understand what he meant.

bwe@Luke:3:3 @ Then John went to all the country around the Jordan River. He told the people to stop doing wrong things, turn back to God and be baptised. And God would forgive them for the wrong things they did.

bwe@Luke:3:12 @ Tax collectors also came to be baptised. They asked John, Sir, what shall we do?

bwe@Luke:3:15 @ The people were waiting to see what would happen. They were all asking about John. They thought that he might be the Christ, the great king promised by God long ago.

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:4:11 @ And "They will hold you up in their hands so that you will not knock your foot on a stone."

bwe@Luke:4:18 @ The Spirit of the Lord is on me because he chose me to tell the good news to poor people. He has sent me to tell the prisoners they can go free, and to tell the blind people they can see. He has sent me to set free those who have been wrongly held down,

bwe@Luke:4:21 @ He began to talk to them. He said, You have heard what the holy writings say. They have come true today.

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

bwe@Luke:4:29 @ They jumped to their feet and put Jesus out of the town. Their town was built on a hill. They took Jesus out to the top and wanted to throw him down the hill.

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:4:38 @ Jesus left the meeting house and went to Simons house. The mother of Simons wife was sick with a bad fever. They asked Jesus to help her.

bwe@Luke:4:41 @ The bad spirits also came out of many people. They called out, You are the Son of God! But he stopped them. He would not let them talk because they knew that he was the Christ.

bwe@Luke:4:42 @ The next morning Jesus went away to a place by himself. The people went to look for him. When they found him, they did not want him to leave them.

bwe@Luke:5:2 @ He saw two boats by the water. The fishermen were not in their boats. They were washing their nets.

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

bwe@Luke:5:7 @ They called their friends in the other boat to come and help them. They came. They filled both boats with so much fish, they began to go down.

bwe@Luke:5:9 @ He was very much surprised to see how many fish they had caught. All those who were with him were surprised too.

bwe@Luke:5:10 @ James and John, the sons of Zebedee, were helping Simon. They were surprised also. Jesus said to Simon, Do not fear. From now on your work will be to catch men.

bwe@Luke:5:11 @ They brought their boats to the land. Then they left everything and went with Jesus.

bwe@Luke:5:17 @ One day Jesus was teaching people. Pharisees and other Jewish teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every town in Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem. Jesus had the power of the Lord to heal the sick.

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:5:19 @ But they could not get in the house where Jesus was, because there were so many people. So they went up on the roof. Then through a hole in the roof they let down the bed with the sick man on it, until he was in front of Jesus.

bwe@Luke:5:20 @ Jesus saw that they believed he would be healed. So he said to him, Man, the wrong things you have done are forgiven.

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:5:22 @ Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said, Why do you think these wrong things in your hearts?

bwe@Luke:5:26 @ The people were all surprised and they praised God. They did not know what to think. They said, We have seen things today that are hard to believe.

bwe@Luke:5:30 @ The Pharisees and their scribes did not like what Jesus disciples did. They said, Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and bad people?"

bwe@Luke:5:33 @ They said to him, The disciples or followers of John are often fasting <FI>not eating for a time<Fi>, and they talk with God. The disciples of the Pharisees do the same. But your disciples eat and drink.

bwe@Luke:5:35 @ But the time will come when he will be taken away from them. Then they will be fasting at that time.

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:6:7 @ The scribes and Pharisees watched Jesus to see if he would heal the man on the Sabbath day. They wanted to find something wrong about Jesus.

bwe@Luke:6:8 @ But Jesus knew what they were thinking. He spoke to the man whose hand was thin and weak. He said, Come and stand here in front The man stood up.

bwe@Luke:6:9 @ Jesus said to them, I ask you, is it right to do good things on the Sabbath day, or to do wrong things? Is it right to heal people so that they will live, or to let them die?

bwe@Luke:6:11 @ The Pharisees were very angry and they talked together about what they could do to Jesus.

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:6:18 @ Some were troubled by bad spirits, and they were healed.

bwe@Luke:6:22 @ God will make you happy when people hate you, when they will not let you belong to their group, when they say wrong things about you and make your name bad. God blesses you when it is for the sake of the Son of Man.

bwe@Luke:6:34 @ If you lend to those who will give to you, what good is there in that? Even bad people lend to bad people, if they think they will get the same from them.

bwe@Luke:6:38 @ Give to people and they will give to you. They will fill your cup, press it down, shake it, and let it run over. That is what they will give to you. How much you give to others is how much God will give to you.

bwe@Luke:6:39 @ Jesus also told the people a story. He said, A blind man cannot lead a blind man. They will both fall into a hole.

bwe@Luke:6:44 @ Every kind of tree is known by its fruit. People do not pick fruit like figs from thorn trees. And they do not pick grapes from bramble bushes.

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:7:10 @ The men who had been sent to Jesus went back into the house. They found that the servant who had been sick was well.

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:7:20 @ When the men came to Jesus, they said, John the Baptizer sent us to you. He asks, "Are you the One who is to come? Or shall we wait for another person?"

bwe@Luke:7:29 @ All the people and the tax collectors praised God when they heard that. They had been baptised by John.

bwe@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and teachers of the law would not follow Gods way and they were not baptised by John.

bwe@Luke:7:31 @ Jesus asked, What will I say that the people of today are like? What are they like?

bwe@Luke:7:32 @ They are like children who sit in the market. They call to other children. They say, "We played music for you, but you did not dance. We cried, but you did not cry."

bwe@Luke:7:42 @ They could not pay the money, so he let them both free. Now which one of them will love him more?

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:8:2 @ Some women were also with him. They had bad spirits and had been sick. But they had been healed. One was Mary, called Magdalene. Seven bad spirits had gone out of her.

bwe@Luke:8:3 @ Another one was Joanna, the wife of Chuza, who worked for Herod. Another one was Susanna. And there were many others who gave what they could to help him.

bwe@Luke:8:10 @ He said to them, You can learn the secret things about the kingdom of God. But other people must have stories. They will look, but they will not see. They will hear, but they will not understand.

bwe@Luke:8:12 @ Some seeds fell on the road. They are like the people who hear the word of God. Then the devil comes and takes the word out of their hearts. He does not want them to believe and be saved.

bwe@Luke:8:13 @ Some seeds fell on the stones. They are like people who are glad when they hear the word. But it does not go down deep into their hearts. They believe for a short time. But when they have trouble they stop believing.

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:8:15 @ Some seeds fell on good ground. They are like people who hear the word and remember it. Their hearts are honest and good. These people keep on believing, and much 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:8:20 @ Someone told him, Your mother and brothers are standing outside. They want to talk to you.

bwe@Luke:8:21 @ But he said to them, These people who hear the word of God and do it, they are my mother and my brothers.

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:8:23 @ While they were going, Jesus was sleeping. A bad storm came on the sea. Water was coming into the boat, and they were in trouble.

bwe@Luke:8:24 @ The disciples came to Jesus and woke him. They shouted, Master! Master! We will die! Jesus woke and said to the wind and the water, Stop! They stopped. Then all was quiet

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:8:26 @ They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarene people. Their country is on the other side of the sea from Galilee.

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:8:33 @ The spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs. They ran fast down the steep hill into the sea. They died in the water.

bwe@Luke:8:34 @ The men who cared for the pigs saw what happened. They ran and told it to the people in the town and in the country.

bwe@Luke:8:35 @ The people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus. They saw the man from whom the bad spirits had gone. He was sitting near the feet of Jesus. He had clothes on and was not crazy any more. The people were afraid.

bwe@Luke:8:37 @ All the people in the country around the Gadarenes asked Jesus to go away from them to some other place. They were very much afraid. So Jesus got into a boat and went back.

bwe@Luke:8:40 @ When Jesus came back, the people were very glad to see him. They were all waiting for him.

bwe@Luke:8:53 @ They laughed at him because they knew she was dead.

bwe@Luke:9:6 @ The disciples left and went through the towns. They told the good news and healed people everywhere.

bwe@Luke:9:10 @ When the apostles came back, they told Jesus all they had done. He took them away with him and they went by themselves to a town called Bethsaida.

bwe@Luke:9:11 @ But the people found out and they followed him. He was glad to see them and talked to them about Gods kingdom. He healed those who were sick.

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:9:13 @ But Jesus said to them, You give them food to eat. They said, All we have is five loaves of bread and two fish. Shall we go and buy food for all these people?

bwe@Luke:9:15 @ They did what he said, and they made all the people sit down.

bwe@Luke:9:17 @ They all ate and had enough. They picked up twelve baskets full of pieces that were left.

bwe@Luke:9:19 @ They answered, Some people say you are John the Baptizer. Others say you are Elijah. And others say that one of the old prophets of God has risen from death.

bwe@Luke:9:27 @ I tell you the truth. Some people are standing here who will not die before they see the kingdom of God.

bwe@Luke:9:30 @ And then two men were talking with Jesus. They were Moses and Elijah.

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:9:32 @ Peter and the others were very sleepy. They woke up and saw the light shining from Jesus. And they saw the two men standing with him.

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:9:36 @ The talking stopped. Then Jesus was left alone. The disciples did not say anything. They did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen.

bwe@Luke:9:37 @ The next day they came down the hill. Many people met him.

bwe@Luke:9:40 @ I begged your disciples to drive the bad spirit out, but they could not do it.

bwe@Luke:9:45 @ But they did not understand what he said. The meaning was hidden from them so they would not understand it. And they were afraid to ask him about it.

bwe@Luke:9:46 @ The disciples started talking among themselves. They quarrelled about which of them was the greatest person.

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

bwe@Luke:9:52 @ They went to one of the towns of the Samaritan people to get ready for him.

bwe@Luke:9:54 @ When the disciples James and John saw that, they said, Lord, do you want us to ask for fire to come down from the sky and burn them up?

bwe@Luke:9:56 @ The Son of Man did not come to kill people, but to save them. And they went on to another town.

bwe@Luke:9:57 @ As they went along on the road, a man said to him, I will go anywhere you go.

bwe@Luke:10:8 @ When you go into a town and they take you in, eat what is put before you.

bwe@Luke:10:10 @ But when you go into a town and they do not take you in, then go out into the streets of the town.

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:10:13 @ Chorazin, you will have trouble! Bethsaida, you will have trouble! If the big works I did in you had been done in the cities of Tyre and Sidon, the people there would have stopped doing bad things long ago. They would wear the clothes people wear to show they are sad, and would sit in ashes.

bwe@Luke:10:17 @ The seventy men Jesus had sent out came back very happy. They said, Lord, even the bad spirits obey us when we talk to them in your name!

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

bwe@Luke:11:16 @ Other people wanted to test Jesus. They asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

bwe@Luke:11:17 @ But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, If one part of any country fights against the other part of the country, that country is spoiled. And if one part of any family fights against the other part of the family, it cannot stand.

bwe@Luke:11:26 @ Then he goes and brings seven other spirits who are worse than he is. They go in and live there. Now the man is worse than he was at first.

bwe@Luke:11:29 @ More and more people were coming. He started to talk. He said, People today are bad. They want a sign. No sign will be given them but the sign of Jonah the prophet of God.

bwe@Luke:11:32 @ When people are judged, the men of Nineveh will stand up and speak against the people of today. They stopped their wrong ways when Jonah told them Gods word. And the one who is here is greater than Jonah.

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:11:49 @ That is why God, who is wise, said, "I will send prophets and messengers to them. They will kill some of them. And they will trouble some of them."

bwe@Luke:11:53 @ When Jesus left the house, the scribes and Pharisees began to be very angry with him. They asked him questions about many things.

bwe@Luke:11:54 @ They wanted him to say something that was wrong so they could make trouble for him.

bwe@Luke:12:1 @ Many thousands of people had gathered. They stepped on each other. Jesus began to talk to the disciples. He said, Take care. Do not let the yeast of the Pharisees spoil you. They are not true to themselves.

bwe@Luke:12:4 @ You are my friends. I tell you, do not fear people who can kill your bodies. After that they cannot do anything more to you.

bwe@Luke:12:24 @ Think of the birds. They do not plant, cut, or keep any food. Yet God feeds them. You are worth much more than the birds!

bwe@Luke:12:27 @ Think about the flowers. See how they grow. They do not work or make cloth. I tell you, King Solomon was a great man. But he was not dressed as fine as one of these flowers.

bwe@Luke:12:33 @ Sell what you have and give it to poor people. Make for yourselves money bags that will not wear out. Keep the things you like in heaven. They will not be lost there. People cannot go in and steal them, and insects cannot spoil them.

bwe@Luke:12:36 @ Be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from a wedding. They are ready to open the door as soon as he comes and knocks.

bwe@Luke:12:38 @ He may come in the middle of the night or when it is nearly morning. But if they are watching for the master, they will be happy.

bwe@Luke:12:48 @ But if a servant did not know and did something bad, he will be beaten only a little. To whom much has been given, from him much will be asked. When people give much to anyone, they will ask more from him.

bwe@Luke:12:52 @ From now, if there are five in a family, they will be against each other. Three of them will be against the other two. And two of them will be against the other three.

bwe@Luke:13:2 @ Jesus answered, Do you think it was because they were worse than all the other people in Galilee?

bwe@Luke:13:3 @ I tell you, "No!" But if you do not stop doing wrong things, then you will all die as they did.

bwe@Luke:13:4 @ Eighteen men died when the high house in Siloam fell on them. Do you think they were worse than all the other men who lived in Jerusalem?

bwe@Luke:13:5 @ I tell you, "No!" But if you do not stop doing wrong things, you will all die as they did.

bwe@Luke:13:24 @ Jesus answered, Try hard to go in by the small gate. I tell you, many will want to go in but they will not be able.

bwe@Luke:13:29 @ People will come from the east, from the west, from the north, and from the south. They will sit down to eat in the kingdom of God.

bwe@Luke:13:31 @ At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus. They said to him, Go away from here. Herod wants to kill you.

bwe@Luke:14:1 @ One Sabbath day Jesus went to eat at the house of a ruler. He was a ruler of the Pharisees. They were watching Jesus.

bwe@Luke:14:4 @ They did not answer. So he took the man and healed him. Then he sent him away.

bwe@Luke:14:6 @ They could not answer that.

bwe@Luke:14:7 @ Jesus told a story to the people who were asked to eat at the house. He saw that they chose to sit at the best places.

bwe@Luke:14:12 @ Then Jesus said to the man who had asked him to come, When you make a dinner or a feast, do not ask your friends, or your brothers, or the people in your family, or your rich neighbours. They will repay you by making a dinner for you.

bwe@Luke:14:14 @ You will be made happy because they cannot pay you. You will be repaid when all good people are raised from death.

bwe@Luke:14:30 @ 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:15:17 @ Then he started to get sense. He said, "My father has many men who work for him. They have plenty of food. But here I am dying because I have nothing to eat!

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: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:16:14 @ The Pharisees loved money. They heard all these things. They made fun of him.

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:16:29 @ But Abraham said, "They have Moses and the Prophets. They can listen to them."

bwe@Luke:16:30 @ He answered, "No, father Abraham! But if a man who had died went to them, they would stop their wrong ways."

bwe@Luke:16:31 @ Abraham said, "If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, then they will not believe, even if a man were raised from death."

bwe@Luke:17:12 @ When he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy came to him. They stood far away.

bwe@Luke:17:13 @ And they called out, Jesus, Master, help us!

bwe@Luke:17:14 @ When Jesus saw them, he said to them, Go and let the priests look at you. While they were going, they were healed of the leprosy.

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:17:28 @ It was the same way in the time of Lot. People ate and drank. They bought and sold. They planted and built.

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:18:1 @ Jesus told them a story to teach them that they should keep on talking with God and not give up.

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:18:15 @ 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:18:31 @ Jesus took the twelve disciples with him. He said to them, We are going to Jerusalem. The prophets of God long ago wrote about the Son of Man. Everything they wrote will be done to him.

bwe@Luke:18:32 @ He will be given over to rulers who are not Jews. They will make fun of him. They will treat him very badly. They will spit on him.

bwe@Luke:18:33 @ They will beat him and kill him. On the third day he will rise.

bwe@Luke:18:34 @ But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them and they did not understand what he said.

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

bwe@Luke:18:43 @ Right then he was able to see. He went with Jesus and he praised God. All the people saw it and they all praised God too.

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:19:11 @ 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:19:14 @ 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:19:25 @ They said, "Sir, he has ten times as much already!"

bwe@Luke:19:32 @ They went and found it just as Jesus had said.

bwe@Luke:19:33 @ When they were untying the animal, the men who owned it asked them, Why are you untying the animal?

bwe@Luke:19:34 @ They said, The Lord needs it.

bwe@Luke:19:35 @ They brought it to Jesus and laid their coats on it. Then they put Jesus on it.

bwe@Luke:19:37 @ He came near the top of the hill called the Mount of Olives. Then all the people who believed in him began to be happy. They sang out loudly, and praised God in a loud voice for all the big works they had seen.

bwe@Luke:19:38 @ They said, God bless the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven where God is praised!

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

bwe@Luke:19:42 @ He said, I wish you knew today what things would give you peace! But now you do not see what they are.

bwe@Luke:19:43 @ The time will come when the people who hate you will put a wall all around you. They will shut you up and keep you in on every side.

bwe@Luke:19:44 @ They will break you down to the ground. They will kill the people within you. They will not leave one stone of your houses on top of another. That will happen because you did not know the time when God was ready to help you.

bwe@Luke:19:48 @ But they did not find any way they could do it. All the people stayed around to hear what Jesus said.

bwe@Luke:20:2 @ They said to him, Tell us what right you have to do these things. Who gave you the right to do them?

bwe@Luke:20:5 @ They talked it over together. They said, If we say, "God gave John the right to do it," he will say, "Then why did you not believe him?"

bwe@Luke:20:6 @ But if we say, "Men gave him the right to do it," then the people will kill us with stones. They believe that John was a prophet of God.

bwe@Luke:20:7 @ So they answered Jesus, We do not know who gave him the right to do it.

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

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

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

bwe@Luke:20:13 @ Then the man who owned the farm said, "What shall I do? I will send my dear son. Maybe they will respect him."

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:20:15 @ They dragged him off the farm and killed him. What will the man who owned the farm do to them?

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:20:19 @ 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:20:21 @ So they asked Jesus, Teacher, we know that you talk and teach what is right. You do not fear any person. But you teach the true way of God.

bwe@Luke:20:23 @ He knew they were trying to get him into trouble.

bwe@Luke:20:24 @ So he said, Show me a piece of money. Whose picture and name are on it? They said, Caesars

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:20:27 @ Some of the Sadducees came to Jesus. (They say that people do not rise from death.)

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:20:31 @ Then the third one married her. All seven brothers married her. They all had no children and they died.

bwe@Luke:20:36 @ They cannot die again. They are like angels. They are Gods children because they have been raised from death.

bwe@Luke:20:46 @ He said, Take care. Do not let the scribes fool you. They like to walk about dressed in long gowns. They want people to greet them in the market. They want to have the front seats in the meeting houses. They want to sit in the best places at feasts.

bwe@Luke:20:47 @ They take away the homes of women whose husbands are dead. They cover up their wrong ways by talking to God a long time. They will be punished more!

bwe@Luke:21:4 @ All these people had plenty of money and they gave only a part of it. She was poor and she gave everything she had. She has nothing left to live on.

bwe@Luke:21:5 @ Some people were talking about how nice the temple looked. They talked about the fine stones and the things people gave to make the temple.

bwe@Luke:21:6 @ Jesus said, You see these things. Not one stone here will be left on top of another. They will all be thrown down!

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:21:8 @ He said, Take care. Do not let anyone fool you. Many men will come in my name. They will say, "I am Christ." And they will say, "The time is now." Do not go after them.

bwe@Luke:21:12 @ But before all these things happen, people will catch you and trouble you. They will take you to the meeting houses to be judged. They will put you in prison. They will take you to kings and rulers because you are true to me.

bwe@Luke:21:15 @ I will give you words and sense. All those who are against you will not be able to answer your words or say they are not true.

bwe@Luke:21:16 @ Even your parents, brothers, family people, and friends will give you over to trouble. They will kill some of you.

bwe@Luke:21:24 @ They will be killed by swords or long knives. They will be taken away as prisoners to every country. Jerusalem will be broken down by people who are not Jews. They will walk over it until the end of their allowed time.

bwe@Luke:21:25 @ There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And there will be much trouble for the people on earth. They will not know what to do. It will be like the sound of big waves of the sea.

bwe@Luke:21:26 @ Men will be weak with fear. They will be afraid of the things that will be happening to the world. The powers in the sky will be shaken.

bwe@Luke:22:2 @ The chief priests and the scribes planned how to kill Jesus. But they feared the people.

bwe@Luke:22:5 @ They were glad, and they said they would give him money for it.

bwe@Luke:22:9 @ They asked, Where do you want us to get it ready?

bwe@Luke:22:13 @ So they went and found everything just the way Jesus had said. Then they made the Passover food ready.

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:22:24 @ They started to quarrel among themselves about which of them was the greatest person.

bwe@Luke:22:35 @ Jesus said to them, When I sent you out to the towns, I told you not to carry a money bag, or a bag, or shoes. Did you ever need anything at that time? They said, No.

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:22:49 @ The disciples around Jesus saw what was going to happen. They said, Lord, shall we fight with our swords?

bwe@Luke:22:55 @ They made a fire in the yard and sat around it. Peter sat down with them.

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:22:65 @ And they said many other wrong things to him.

bwe@Luke:22:66 @ In the morning the leaders of the people, the chief priests and scribes met together. They took Jesus to their court.

bwe@Luke:22:67 @ They said, If you are the Christ, tell us. Jesus said, If I tell you, you will not believe.

bwe@Luke:22:70 @ They all said, Then are you the Son of God?" He said, Yes, I am.

bwe@Luke:22:71 @ They said, We do not need any more proof against him. We ourselves have heard what he said.

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:23:5 @ 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:23:10 @ The chief priests and the scribes stood near. They brought strong complaints against him.

bwe@Luke:23:12 @ Herod and Pilate became friends that day. Before that, they had hated each other.

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

bwe@Luke:23:21 @ But they shouted, Nail him to a cross! Nail him to a cross!"

bwe@Luke:23:23 @ But they shouted all the more loudly, saying, Nail him to a cross! And Pilate gave in to their shouting.

bwe@Luke:23:24 @ So he said they could have it their way.

bwe@Luke:23:25 @ He let the other man go free. (He was the one who had been put in prison because he fought and had killed a man. He was the one the people asked Pilate to let go free.) And Pilate did to Jesus what they wanted him to do.

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:23:30 @ Then people will begin to say to the big hills, "Fall on us." They will say to the small hills, "Hide us."

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

bwe@Luke:23:32 @ Two men were also led away to be killed with Jesus. They were bad men.

bwe@Luke:23:33 @ They came to the place called Calvary (the head bone.) There they nailed the two bad men to the crosses also. They put one man on the right side of Jesus and one man on the left side of him.

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:23:35 @ The people stood around watching. But the rulers made fun of him. They said, He saved other people. He should save himself if he is Gods Christ, Gods chosen one!

bwe@Luke:23:36 @ The soldiers made fun of him. They came and brought him wine to drink.

bwe@Luke:23:37 @ They said, If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!

bwe@Luke:23:48 @ Many people were around there to look on. When they saw what happened, they all went home beating their chests <FI>because they were sad<Fi>.

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:23:51 @ He had not wanted the people to do what they did. He was looking for the kingdom of God. He was from a town of the Jews, called Arimathea.

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:24:1 @ On the first day of the week, early in the morning, the women went to the grave. They took with them the things they had made ready.

bwe@Luke:24:2 @ They saw that the stone was rolled away from the grave.

bwe@Luke:24:3 @ So they went in. But they did not see the body of the Lord Jesus.

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:24:8 @ Then they remembered what he had said.

bwe@Luke:24:9 @ They left the grave and went back. They told all these things to the eleven disciples and to all the other people.

bwe@Luke:24:13 @ They were talking together about all the things that had happened.

bwe@Luke:24:14 @ While they were talking and asking each other questions, Jesus himself came and walked with them.

bwe@Luke:24:15 @ But even though they saw him, they did not know who he was.

bwe@Luke:24:18 @ Jesus said, What things?" They said, All that has happened to Jesus of Nazareth. He was a prophet of God. He had power to do big works and to teach the people. He was respected by God and all the people.

bwe@Luke:24:19 @ Our chief priests and rulers gave him over to be punished by death, and they nailed him to a cross.

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:24:23 @ Some of us went to the grave. And they found everything just as the women said. But they did not see Jesus.

bwe@Luke:24:27 @ They came near the village to which they were going. It looked as if he was going on further.

bwe@Luke:24:28 @ But they begged him not to go further. They said, Stay with us. It will soon be night. The day is almost finished. So he went in to stay with them.

bwe@Luke:24:30 @ Then they saw who he was. They knew him. And then suddenly they could not see him any more.

bwe@Luke:24:31 @ They said to each other, It was like a fire burning in our hearts when he talked to us on the road and told us the meaning of the holy writings!

bwe@Luke:24:32 @ They got up right then and went back to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven disciples together. Some other people were with them.

bwe@Luke:24:34 @ Then the men from Emmaus told them what had happened on the road. They told how they knew Jesus when he broke bread and gave it to them.

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:24:36 @ They were troubled and afraid. They thought they were seeing a spirit.

bwe@Luke:24:39 @ They gave him a piece of cooked fish.

bwe@Luke:24:42 @ Then he taught them so that they understood the things in the holy writings.

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:24:49 @ They bowed down and worshipped him. They were very happy and went back to Jerusalem.

bwe@Luke:24:50 @ Every day they were in the temple praising God.

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:1:19 @ The leaders of the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem. They asked John, Who are you? John told them.

bwe@John:1:21 @ So they asked him, Well then, are you Elijah? He answered, No, I am not. They asked, Are you the Prophet? He answered, No.

bwe@John:1:25 @ So they asked him, If you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet, why then are you baptizing?

bwe@John:1:37 @ The two followers heard what John said, so they went after Jesus.

bwe@John:1:38 @ Jesus turned. He saw them coming after him. He said to them, What are you looking for? They said, Teacher, where do you live?

bwe@John:1:39 @ Jesus said, Come and see. They went and saw the place where Jesus was staying. The time was about four oclock in the afternoon. They stayed with Jesus the rest of the day.

bwe@John:2:3 @ The people needed more wine. Then Jesus mother said to him, They have no wine.

bwe@John:2:7 @ Jesus said, Fill the pots with water. So they filled them to the very top.

bwe@John:2:8 @ Jesus said, Now take some out. Carry it to the one in charge of the feast. They did what he said.

bwe@John:2:10 @ He said, Other people give the good wine at the beginning of the feast. When people have had all they want, then they give the wine which is not so good. But you have kept the good wine until now.

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:2:14 @ In the temple he found people buying and selling things. They were selling cows, sheep, and doves. Others were sitting at tables changing money for the people.

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:2:23 @ Many people believed in Jesus name when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast. They believed in him because they saw the big works he did.

bwe@John:3:19 @ Light came into the world. But people wanted to be in the dark because they did wrong things. They did not want the light. That is why they are judged.

bwe@John:3:26 @ They came to John and said, Teacher, there was a man with you on the other side of the Jordan River. You were telling people about him. Now he himself is baptizing and all the people are going to him.

bwe@John:4:2 @ The Lord knew that they had heard about it. So he left Judea and went back to Galilee again.

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:4:30 @ While they were on the way coming to Jesus, the disciples asked him, Teacher, will you please eat.

bwe@John:4:39 @ When the people from Samaria came, they begged him to stay with them. So he stayed with them for two days.

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:4:44 @ When he came to Galilee, the people of that country were glad to see him. They had seen all the things he did when he was at the feast in Jerusalem. They had been at the feast also.

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

bwe@John:4:51 @ He asked, What time did he begin to get well? They said, Yesterday at one hour after midday the fever left him.

bwe@John:5:3 @ Many sick people were lying on these places. Some of them were blind. Some were lame. Some were very thin and stiff so that they could not move by themselves. All of them were waiting for the water to move.

bwe@John:5:10 @ So the leaders of the Jews talked to the man who was healed. They said, It is the Sabbath day. It is not right for you to carry your bed.

bwe@John:5:12 @ They asked him, Who is the man who told you to take up your bed and walk?

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:5:29 @ They will come out of the graves. Those who have done what is good will come out to live. But those who have done what is wrong will come out to be punished.

bwe@John:6:2 @ Many people followed him because they saw the big works he had done in healing the sick people.

bwe@John:6:11 @ Then Jesus took the bread and thanked God for it. He gave it to the disciples and they divided it among those who were sitting. He did the same thing with the fish. The people had all they wanted.

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:6:13 @ They gathered all the pieces of the five loaves. Twelve baskets full were left over after all the people had eaten enough.

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:6:17 @ They got in a boat and crossed over the sea toward the town of Capernaum. It was dark, but Jesus had not come back to them.

bwe@John:6:19 @ They rowed the boat into the middle of the lake. Then they saw Jesus walking on the water. He came close to the boat. They were afraid.

bwe@John:6:21 @ Then they were glad to take him into the boat. Then at once the boat reached the land to which they were going.

bwe@John:6:22 @ The people who stayed back on the land had seen one boat only. They had seen the disciples get in it and go away without Jesus.

bwe@John:6:23 @ But there were some other boats from Tiberias. It was near the place where they had eaten bread, after the Lord had thanked God for it.

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:6:25 @ When they found Jesus on the other side of the lake, they said, Teacher, when did you get here?

bwe@John:6:28 @ They asked him, What works does God ask us to do?

bwe@John:6:30 @ They said, What big work will you do? We want to see it and believe you. What work are you are going to do?

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

bwe@John:6:37 @ All those whom my Father gives me, they will come to me. I will never turn anyone away who comes to me.

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:6:49 @ Your fathers ate bread in the desert long ago, but they died.

bwe@John:6:52 @ The leaders of the Jews began to quarrel with each other about what Jesus said. They said, How can he give us himself to eat?

bwe@John:6:58 @ 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:7:7 @ The people of the world cannot hate you. But they hate me because I say what they do is wrong.

bwe@John:7:11 @ The leaders of the Jews at the feast tried to find him. They said, Where is he?

bwe@John:7:13 @ But they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, so no one talked about him out in the open.

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:7:31 @ Many of the people believed in Jesus. They said, When Christ comes, will he do greater works than this man has done?

bwe@John:7:40 @ When some of the people heard this they said, Truly, this is the Prophet.

bwe@John:7:45 @ The soldiers came back to the chief priests and the Pharisees. They asked the soldiers, Why did you not bring him?

bwe@John:7:48 @ None of the rulers and none of the Pharisees have believed on him, have they?

bwe@John:7:49 @ These poor people do not know the law. They will die!

bwe@John:7:52 @ They answered him, Are you from Galilee also? Study what is written. You will see that no prophet is to come from Galilee.

bwe@John:8:3 @ The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman to Jesus. They had caught her having sex with a man who was not her husband. They made the woman stand in front of them.

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:8:7 @ They kept on asking him. He stood up and said to them, The one among you who has never done any wrong thing may throw the first stone at her.

bwe@John:8:9 @ When the people heard what he said, they went out, one by one. The oldest one went out first. Jesus was left alone with the woman in front of him.

bwe@John:8:19 @ They asked him, Where is your Father? He said, You do not know me and you do not know my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.

bwe@John:8:25 @ They said to him, Who are you? Jesus answered, I am what I told you from the beginning.

bwe@John:8:33 @ They said to him, We are Abrahams children. We have always been free. Why do you say to us, "You will be free"?

bwe@John:8:34 @ Jesus answered them, I tell you the truth. People who do wrong things are not free. They become a slave of the wrong things they do.

bwe@John:8:39 @ They answered him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said, If you were Abrahams children, you would do what Abraham did.

bwe@John:8:41 @ You are doing your fathers work. Then they said to him, We were not born of an unmarried woman. God is the Father of us all.

bwe@John:8:59 @ Then they picked up stones to throw at him. But Jesus got out of their way. He left the temple and they did not know where he went.

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:9:10 @ They asked him, How is it that you can see now?

bwe@John:9:12 @ Where is the man? they asked. He said, I do not know.

bwe@John:9:13 @ They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.

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:9:17 @ Then they asked the man who had been born blind, What do you say about the man who healed you? He answered, I say he is a prophet from God.

bwe@John:9:18 @ But the leaders of the Jews did not really believe what they heard about the man. They did not believe that first he had been blind and now was able to see. So they called the parents of the man who could now see.

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:9:22 @ 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:9:26 @ Then they said to him again, What did he do to you? How did he heal you?

bwe@John:9:28 @ This made them angry. They said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

bwe@John:9:34 @ They answered, You have been a bad man ever since you were born! Now are you trying to teach us? And with that they put him out of the meeting place.

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:10:4 @ 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:10:5 @ They will not go after a stranger. They will run away from him because they do not know the voice of strangers.

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:10:8 @ All those who came before me are bad people and steal things. They came to steal the sheep. But the sheep did not listen to them.

bwe@John:10:10 @ The thief comes only to steal the sheep and to kill them and spoil them. I have come so that people may live and that they may enjoy life to the full.

bwe@John:10:16 @ I have some other sheep which are not with these sheep. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice. Then all the sheep will be together and there will be one person who cares for all of them.

bwe@John:10:27 @ My sheep listen to me. I know them. They come to me.

bwe@John:10:28 @ I give them life that lasts for ever. They will never die. No one will take them out of my hand.

bwe@John:10:39 @ Because of what he said, they tried to catch Jesus again. But he got away from them.

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:11:3 @ So the sisters sent someone to tell Jesus. They said, Lord, the one whom you love is sick.

bwe@John:11:8 @ They said, Master, it is not long since the Jews wanted to kill you with stones. Are you going back there again?

bwe@John:11:19 @ Many Jews had come out to see Martha and Mary. They came to comfort them because their brother had died.

bwe@John:11:31 @ The Jews who were in the house to comfort Mary saw her get up quickly and go out. They went after her. They said, She is going to the grave to cry.

bwe@John:11:34 @ Where have you buried him? he said. Come, Lord, and see, they said.

bwe@John:11:41 @ So they pushed the stone away from the grave. Jesus looked up and said, Father, I thank you because you have heard me.

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:11:45 @ When they saw the things Jesus did, many of the Jews who had come with Mary believed on 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:11:53 @ So from that day on they planned to kill Jesus.

bwe@John:11:55 @ The time for the Passover Feast of the Jews was near. Many people from all around the country went to Jerusalem. They had to make themselves clean according to the law before the Passover Feast.

bwe@John:11:56 @ They were looking around for Jesus. As they were standing in the temple they talked to one another. They said, What do you think? Do you think that he will come to the feast?

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:12:9 @ Many of the Jews knew that Jesus was at Bethany. So they came because Jesus was there. But they also came to see Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from death.

bwe@John:12:13 @ So they took branches of palm trees and went to meet him. They shouted, Praise God! God bless the King of Israel! He is coming in the name of the Lord!

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:12:17 @ Many people were with Jesus when he called Lazarus out of the grave and raised him from death. They had talked about what he did.

bwe@John:12:18 @ That is why many people went out to meet Jesus. They had heard about the big work he did.

bwe@John:12:21 @ They came to Philip who was from Bethsaida in Galilee. They said, Sir, we want to see Jesus.

bwe@John:12:22 @ Philip came to Andrew and told him. Then they both went and told Jesus.

bwe@John:12:29 @ Some people were standing near. When they heard the voice, they said, It is thundering. Other people said, An angel talked to him.

bwe@John:12:32 @ And as for me, if they lift me up from the earth, I will draw all people to me.

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:12:37 @ Even though they had seen Jesus doing many big works, they did not believe in him.

bwe@John:12:38 @ What the prophet Isaiah said came true. He said, Lord, who has believed what we told them? Who has believed even though they have seen the power of Gods hand?

bwe@John:12:40 @ So they could not believe. Isaiah said also, God has made them blind. Their hearts have no feeling. They cannot see. They do not understand with their heart. They will not turn to God. If they did turn, he would heal them.

bwe@John:12:42 @ Some of the chief rulers believed in Jesus, but they did not tell anyone that they believed in him. They were afraid the Pharisees would put them out of the meeting place.

bwe@John:12:43 @ They wanted the praise of men more than the praise of God.

bwe@John:13:22 @ The disciples looked at one another. They did not know which one of them Jesus was talking about.

bwe@John:14:27 @ Peace is what I leave for you. I give you my own peace. People of the world also say, "Peace" to you. I do not say it as they say it. Do not let anything trouble your hearts. Do not fear.

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:15:21 @ They will do all these things to you because you are true to me. They do not know the one who sent me.

bwe@John:15:22 @ I came and spoke to them. If I had not done that, then what they did would not have been a wrong thing. But now they have no excuse for doing it.

bwe@John:15:24 @ No other person has ever done the work that I have done. If they had, then what they did would not be a wrong thing. But now they have seen me and hated me and my Father also.

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:16:3 @ They will do these things because they do not know my Father nor me.

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:16:9 @ He will prove it is a bad thing that they do not believe in me.

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:17:3 @ You are the only true God. If they know you, and Jesus Christ whom you sent, they will live for ever.

bwe@John:17:6 @ I have shown these men who you really are. They are men whom you gave me from the world. They belonged to you and you gave them to me. They have obeyed you.

bwe@John:17:7 @ Now they really know that everything you gave me comes from you.

bwe@John:17:8 @ I have told them the things that you told me to tell them. And they have believed my words. They know it is true that I was with you before I came. They have believed that you sent me.

bwe@John:17:9 @ It is these men I am asking you for. I am not asking you for the people of the world. But I am asking for those you gave me, because they belong to you.

bwe@John:17:10 @ All those I have are yours. And all you have are mine. And they make my name great.

bwe@John:17:11 @ I am not in the world any longer. But they are in the world. And I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me. Then they will be one, just as you and I are one.

bwe@John:17:13 @ Now I am coming to you. I say these things while I am in the world so that they may be very glad, as I am.

bwe@John:17:14 @ I have told them what you said. The world has hated them because they do not belong to the world. So also, I do not belong to the world.

bwe@John:17:16 @ They do not belong to the world, even as I do not belong to the world.

bwe@John:17:19 @ I have made myself clean and kept myself for them, so that they may be clean and be kept for you also by the truth.

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:17:23 @ I belong to them and you belong to me, so that they all may be really one together. Then the world will know that you have sent me and that you have loved them just as you have loved me.

bwe@John:17:24 @ Father, I want the people that you have given me to be with me. Then they will see that you made me great, because you loved me before you made the world.

bwe@John:17:26 @ I have told them who you are. I will tell them again and again. Then they will love each other as much as you have loved me. And I will live in them.

bwe@John:18:3 @ The chief priests and the Pharisees sent soldiers and guards with Judas. They had lamps, and torches, and things to fight with.

bwe@John:18:5 @ They answered, Jesus from Nazareth. Jesus said to them, I am he. Judas, who had given Jesus over to them, was standing with them.

bwe@John:18:6 @ When Jesus said to them, I am he, they all drew back suddenly and fell down.

bwe@John:18:7 @ So Jesus asked them again, Who are you looking for? And they said, Jesus from Nazareth.

bwe@John:18:13 @ First they took him to Annas. He was the father of Caiaphas wife. Caiaphas was the high priest that year.

bwe@John:18:18 @ It was cold there. The servants and the officers had made a small fire. They stood by it and warmed themselves. Peter stood by the fire also and warmed himself.

bwe@John:18:21 @ Why do you ask me? The people heard me talk. Ask them what I told them. They know what I said.

bwe@John:18:28 @ Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the court house. It was early in the day. They themselves did not go into the court house. They did not want to become unclean. They wanted to eat the Passover Feast.

bwe@John:18:30 @ They said to him, If he were not a very bad man, then we would not have brought him to you.

bwe@John:18:40 @ Then they all shouted again, Not this man, but Barabbas! Barabbas was a man who had stolen things.

bwe@John:19:2 @ The soldiers made a big ring of thorns like a crown and put it on Jesus head. They put a red gown on him.

bwe@John:19:3 @ They said, Greetings, King of the Jews! They beat him with their hands.

bwe@John:19:6 @ When the chief priests and the officers saw Jesus, they shouted, Nail him to a cross! Nail him to a cross! Pilate said to them, You take him and nail him to a cross. I find nothing wrong in him.

bwe@John:19:7 @ The leaders of the Jews answered him, We have a law. That law says he should die, because he calls himself the Son of God. When Pilate heard what they said, he was very much afraid.

bwe@John:19:15 @ But they shouted, Take him away! Take him away! Nail him to a cross! Pilate said to them, Shall I nail your King to a cross? The chief priests answered, Caesar is the only king we have.

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:19:18 @ There they nailed Jesus to the cross. Two other people were also nailed to crosses. One was put on each side of Jesus. Jesus was put in the centre.

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:19:29 @ A bowl of bad wine was there. They took something called a sponge and made it wet with the wine. Then they put it on a stick and put it to Jesus mouth.

bwe@John:19:31 @ It was the day before the Sabbath day. The Jewish leaders did not want the bodies to stay on the cross on the Sabbath day because it was a big day. So they begged Pilate to break the legs of those who had been nailed to crosses. Then they could be taken away.

bwe@John:19:32 @ The soldiers came and broke the legs of the one nailed to the cross on one side of Jesus. Then they broke the legs of the one on the other side of him.

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:19:37 @ They also say, They shall look at the one into whom they stuck the spear.

bwe@John:19:40 @ They wrapped linen cloth around the body of Jesus and put the myrrh and aloes in with the cloth. That is how Jews bury a person.

bwe@John:19:42 @ They laid Jesus body there because it was the day before the Sabbath day, and the grave was near.

bwe@John:20:2 @ So she ran and met Simon Peter and the other disciple, whom Jesus loved. She said to them, They have taken the Lord out of the grave! We do not know where they have laid him!

bwe@John:20:9 @ Until this time they did not understand the holy writings where it says, He must rise from death.

bwe@John:20:12 @ She saw two angels with white clothes on. They were sitting where Jesus body had been. One sat at the head and one at the foot.

bwe@John:20:13 @ They said to her, Woman, why are you crying? She said to them, They have taken away my Lord and I do not know where they have laid him.

bwe@John:20:19 @ It was the first day of the week. In the evening the disciples were in a house together. The doors were shut because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Jesus came and stood there with them. He said to them, Peace to you!

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:20:23 @ Whoever you make free from the wrong things they have done will be free. Whoever you do not make free from the wrong things they have done will not be free.

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:20:29 @ Jesus said to him, You yourself have seen me. Is that why you now believe? God will bless people who believe though they have not seen me.

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:21:2 @ Some of the disciples were in one place. They were Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of Jesus.

bwe@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to the others, I am going fishing. The others said, We are going with you also. They went out in a boat right away. That night they caught nothing.

bwe@John:21:5 @ He said to them, My children, did you catch any fish? They answered, No.

bwe@John:21:6 @ He said to them, Throw out your net on the right side of the boat, then you will catch some. They threw out their net and caught many fish, so that they were not able to bring in the net.

bwe@John:21:8 @ The other disciples came in a small boat. They were pulling the net. It was full of fish. They were not far from the land, only about a hundred yards.

bwe@John:21:9 @ When they came to the land, they saw a small fire. Fish and some bread lay on the fire.

bwe@John:21:12 @ Jesus said to them, Come and eat. The disciples were all afraid to ask him, Who are you? They knew it was the Lord.

bwe@John:21:15 @ After they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these? He said, Yes, Lord. You know that I like you. I am your friend. Jesus said to him, Feed my lambs.

bwe@John:21:18 @ I tell you the truth. When you were young, you put on your own belt. You went where you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will put out your hands. Others will put your belt on for you. They will take you where you do not want to go.

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:1:6 @ When they had come together, the apostles asked Jesus, Lord, are you now going to set up the kingdom of Israel?

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:1:10 @ While they were looking at the sky as he went up, two men stood by them in white clothes.

bwe@Acts:1:11 @ They said, You men from Galilee, why do you stand there looking at the sky? Jesus has gone up into heaven. In the same way that you saw him go up, he will come again.

bwe@Acts:1:12 @ Then they left the hill called the Mount of Olives. They went back to Jerusalem which was not far away. (It was how far the law said people may walk on the Sabbath day.)

bwe@Acts:1:13 @ When they reached Jerusalem, they went to a room up in a house. Here lived Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon the freedom fighter, and Judas the son of James.

bwe@Acts:1:16 @ He said, My friends and brothers, Judas showed the people where Jesus was so they could take him. The Holy Spirit spoke through king David long ago about Judas before he did it. What was written about him has now happened.

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:1:22 @ They were with us from the time John baptised people until the day Jesus was taken up from us. One of these men must help us tell people that Jesus was raised from death.

bwe@Acts:1:23 @ They took two men. One was Joseph, named Barsabbas, who had another name Justus. The other man was Matthias.

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:1:26 @ Then they picked out the name of Matthias. He was chosen to be with the eleven apostles.

bwe@Acts:2:2 @ Then, suddenly, a sound came from heaven. It was like a very strong wind blowing. It went all through the house where they were sitting.

bwe@Acts:2:3 @ And then they saw tongues like fire. These were divided and came on each one of the people there.

bwe@Acts:2:4 @ All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit. They began to speak the words of God in other languages as the Spirit spoke through them.

bwe@Acts:2:5 @ Crowds of Jews were staying in Jerusalem. They had come from every country in the world. They were good men who believed in God.

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:2:7 @ They were all very much surprised and said to each other, These men who are speaking, are they not all from Galilee?

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:2:37 @ What Peter said cut the peoples hearts when they heard it. They knew they had done wrong. They said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brothers, what shall we do?

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:2:42 @ They kept on being taught by the apostles. And they kept on being with them. They ate bread together and talked with God.

bwe@Acts:2:44 @ All the believers were together; and everything they had was for the use of all.

bwe@Acts:2:45 @ They sold their things and divided the money among the believers. They gave each person what he needed. 46,

bwe@Acts:2:46 @ And every day the believers kept on gathering in the temple. They ate bread in each others homes. They ate their food gladly and with open hearts. They praised God. All the people respected them. Day by day, the Lord added to the church those who were saved.

bwe@Acts:3:5 @ The man looked at them. He thought they would give him something.

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:3:11 @ While the man still held on to Peter and John, all the people came running to them. It was in the part of the temple which is called Solomons porch. They were still very excited.

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:3:24 @ Prophets spoke at the time of Samuel, and prophets spoke after that time. They all have told about these days also.

bwe@Acts:4:2 @ They were angry at Peter and John because they taught the people. They were angry because they told them that Jesus was brought back from death.

bwe@Acts:4:3 @ They caught them and put them in prison until the next day, because it was already evening.

bwe@Acts:4:4 @ But many of the people who heard them speak the word of God, believed what they said. The number of men who believed was about five thousand.

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:4:13 @ They saw that Peter and John were not afraid to speak out. They knew that they were like any other men. They did not have much training. So the people were very much surprised. They knew that Peter and John had been with Jesus.

bwe@Acts:4:14 @ They saw the man who had been healed standing beside them. So they could say nothing against them.

bwe@Acts:4:15 @ They told Peter and John to leave the court. Then they talked the matter over among themselves.

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:4:18 @ They called them in and said, Never speak or teach in this name again.

bwe@Acts:4:21 @ So the high priest and those with him told them again. Then they let them go. They could not punish them because of the people. They all praised God for what had been done.

bwe@Acts:4:23 @ When they were free, Peter and John went back to their own friends. They told them all that the chief priests and leaders had said to them.

bwe@Acts:4:24 @ When they heard it, they talked to God together. They said, Lord, you are God. You made the sky, and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.

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:4:28 @ But they only did what you had already planned should be done.

bwe@Acts:4:29 @ Lord, hear their words. Listen to the wrong things they say against us. We are your servants. Help us to speak your word without fear. And heal the sick by your own power. Let signs and wonderful things be done in the name of your holy Son Jesus.

bwe@Acts:4:31 @ When they had talked to God, the room they were in shook. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they spoke the word of God without fear.

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:4:34 @ None of them was in need of anything. Those who owned fields and houses sold them. They brought the money to the apostles. Then the apostles gave each one what he needed.

bwe@Acts:5:6 @ The young men came and wrapped him up. They carried him out and buried him.

bwe@Acts:5:9 @ Then Peter said to her, Why did you two agree together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen, I hear the footsteps of the men who buried your husband. They are at the door. They will carry you out too.

bwe@Acts:5:10 @ And she fell down at Peters feet and died. The young men came in and saw that she was dead. They carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

bwe@Acts:5:13 @ Other people feared to join them, but they spoke well of them.

bwe@Acts:5:15 @ They brought sick people out into the streets and laid them on beds and mats. They hoped that at least Peters shadow would touch them as he passed by.

bwe@Acts:5:16 @ Many people also came from the cities around Jerusalem. They brought others who were sick and those who were controlled by bad spirits. Every one of them was healed.

bwe@Acts:5:17 @ Some Sadducees were with the high priest. They all became very jealous.

bwe@Acts:5:18 @ They caught the apostles and put them in prison.

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:5:22 @ When the men came to the prison, they did not find the apostles there. Then they went back and told the high priest and those with him.

bwe@Acts:5:23 @ They said, The prison was locked very well. And the police were guarding the doors. But when we opened the doors, no one was inside.

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:5:26 @ Then the captain went with the men and brought the apostles quietly. They did not bring them by force because they were afraid the people would kill them with stones.

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:5:33 @ When the judges heard this, they were very, very angry and wanted to kill them.

bwe@Acts:5:40 @ They agreed to do what he said. They called in the apostles and had them beaten. They told them not to speak in the name of Jesus. Then they let them go.

bwe@Acts:5:41 @ The apostles left the court. They were very glad to think that God let them be punished for the name of Jesus.

bwe@Acts:5:42 @ Every day, in the temple and in homes, they kept on teaching and talking about Jesus Christ.

bwe@Acts:6:1 @ At that time more and more people joined the disciples. Then there was trouble about a certain matter. The Jews who spoke the Greek language complained against the other Jews. They said that each day when the food was being divided, their women whose husbands were dead did not get their part.

bwe@Acts:6:2 @ Then the twelve apostles called all of the disciples together. They said, It is not right for us to stop preaching Gods word to divide the food.

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:6:6 @ These men were brought before the apostles. When the apostles had talked with God, they put their hands on their heads <FI>to bless them<Fi>.

bwe@Acts:6:9 @ But some of the Jews argued with Stephen, and said he was wrong. (They belonged to the meeting place of the Free Men. They were Jews who came from Cyrene, Alexandria, Cilicia and Asia Minor.) They did not agree with Stephen.

bwe@Acts:6:10 @ But they could not say anything against his wise words and the Spirit by whom he spoke.

bwe@Acts:6:11 @ So they paid some people to say, We have heard him say wrong things about Moses and God.

bwe@Acts:6:12 @ They talked to the people, the leaders, and the scribes, and made them angry. They went quickly and caught Stephen and took him into the court.

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:6:15 @ 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:7:6 @ 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:7:7 @ And God said, "I will judge the people who make them slaves. After that, they will come out of that land and serve me here."

bwe@Acts:7:9 @ Because they were jealous, they sold Joseph to be a slave in the country of Egypt. But God was with Joseph.

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:7:16 @ They were taken back to the place called Shechem and buried. Abraham had bought a grave from the family of Hamor in Shechem. He had paid money for it.

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:7:25 @ He thought his people would know that God wanted him to make them free. But they did not understand.

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:7:39 @ Our fathers would not obey Moses. They did not want him to lead them. They wished they were back in Egypt.

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:7:42 @ Then God turned away from them. He let them worship the sun, moon, and the many stars in the sky. The prophets of God wrote about it long ago. They said, "You people of Israel, did you sacrifice animals to me forty years in the wilderness?

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:7:52 @ What did your fathers do to the prophets of God? They made a lot of trouble for every one of them. They killed the ones who told that the Right and True One would come. He is the One you gave up to be killed. You are the killers.

bwe@Acts:7:54 @ When the men heard what Stephen said, they were very angry. They made noises with their teeth to show they hated him.

bwe@Acts:7:57 @ Then the men shouted. They put their fingers in their ears. All together they ran at Stephen.

bwe@Acts:7:58 @ They put him out of the city and threw stones at him. (Those who had talked against him laid their clothes down by the feet of a young man named Saul.)

bwe@Acts:7:59 @ They kept on throwing stones at Stephen. He spoke to God and said, Oh, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

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:8:2 @ Good men buried Stephen. They were very sad because he died.

bwe@Acts:8:6 @ And all the people together listened to what Philip said because they heard and saw the big works which he did.

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:8:14 @ Then the apostles at Jerusalem heard that the people of Samaria believed Gods word. So they sent Peter and John to them.

bwe@Acts:8:15 @ When they came to them, they prayed for them to receive the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Acts:8:16 @ Until that time, none of the people there had received the Holy Spirit. They had only been baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus.

bwe@Acts:8:17 @ Then the apostles put their hands on the people and they received the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Acts:8:25 @ The apostles told the people the word of the Lord. Then they went back to Jerusalem. On the way they told the good news in many villages in Samaria.

bwe@Acts:8:36 @ While they were going along, they came to some water by the road. The man said, See, here is water. What is there to stop me from being baptised?

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:9:7 @ The men who had come with Saul stood there. They did not say a word. They heard a voice but did not see anyone.

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:9:21 @ 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:9:24 @ But he found out that they were waiting for him. The Jewish leaders watched the gates of the city night and day. They were waiting for a chance to kill him.

bwe@Acts:9:26 @ When Saul came to Jerusalem, he wanted to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him. They did not believe that he was a disciple.

bwe@Acts:9:29 @ He talked to the Jews who spoke the Greek language. But they did not agree with Saul, and so they made plans to kill him.

bwe@Acts:9:30 @ When the Christian brothers knew that, they took him to Caesarea. Then they sent him to Tarsus <FI>the city where he was born<Fi>.

bwe@Acts:9:31 @ After that, the churches in Judea, Galilee, and Samaria were not troubled any more and they believed more strongly. The people obeyed the Lord, and the Holy Spirit helped them to believe. And many more people joined them.

bwe@Acts:9:35 @ All the people who lived at Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

bwe@Acts:9:37 @ She became sick and died. They bathed her body and put her in a room upstairs.

bwe@Acts:9:38 @ Lydda was near Joppa. When the disciples heard that Peter was at Lydda, they sent two men and asked for him to come quickly.

bwe@Acts:9:39 @ Peter got up and went with them. When he got there, they took him to the room upstairs. Women whose husbands were dead stood there crying. They showed Peter the clothes and coats that Dorcas had made for them while she was with them.

bwe@Acts:10:9 @ They went the next day. They were coming near to the city. About midday, Peter went up on the flat roof of the house to talk with God.

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:10:24 @ The day after that, they reached Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them. He had called his family and close friends together.

bwe@Acts:10:35 @ But he takes anyone who obeys him. He takes anyone who does what is right. It does not matter to what nation they belong.

bwe@Acts:10:39 @ We saw all the things which he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. And they hung him on a piece of wood and killed him.

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:10:45 @ The believers who came with Peter were Jews. They were very much surprised that the Holy Spirit was also sent to those who were not Jews. 46,

bwe@Acts:10:46 @ They heard them speak in tongues of other languages and praise God. Then Peter said, These people have received the Holy Spirit just as we have. Can anyone say they may not be baptised in water?

bwe@Acts:10:48 @ So he said they were to be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ. They begged him to stay with them for a while.

bwe@Acts:11:1 @ The apostles and other Christian brothers were in Judea. They heard that some people who were not Jews had also believed Gods message.

bwe@Acts:11:3 @ They asked, Why did you visit people who are not Jews? Why did you eat with them?

bwe@Acts:11:11 @ Right then three men came to the house where we were. They had come from Caesarea for me.

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:11:19 @ Some of the people had gone to other countries because of the big trouble when Stephen was killed. They went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch. They told Gods word to the Jews only.

bwe@Acts:11:20 @ Some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene. They went to Antioch. They also spoke to those who were not Jews, and they told them about the Lord Jesus.

bwe@Acts:11:22 @ The people in the Jerusalem church heard this news. They sent Barnabas to go to Antioch.

bwe@Acts:11:26 @ When he found him, he took him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with all who believed in Jesus Christ. They taught many people. Antioch was the first place where the disciples were called Christians.

bwe@Acts:11:29 @ Then the disciples decided to help the Christian brothers who lived in Judea. They would each one send what he could.

bwe@Acts:11:30 @ They did so. They sent Barnabas and Saul to carry it to the church leaders <FI>in Jerusalem<Fi>.

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:12:10 @ They passed the first and the second guard. Then they came to the iron gate out to the city. It opened for them by itself. So they went all the way down a street. Then the angel left him.

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:12:16 @ Peter kept on knocking. When they opened the door and saw him, they were very much surprised.

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:12:25 @ Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had finished their work. They brought John Mark with them.

bwe@Acts:13:1 @ In the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers. They were Barnabas, Simeon Niger, Lucius from Cyrene, Manaen who grew up with Herod the ruler, and Saul.

bwe@Acts:13:2 @ They were worshipping the Lord and fasting <FI>not eating food for a time<Fi>. The Holy Spirit said, Give me Barnabas and Saul to do the work for which I have called them.

bwe@Acts:13:3 @ The men fasted and talked to God. Then they laid their hands on Barnabas and Paul and sent them on their way.

bwe@Acts:13:4 @ Barnabas and Saul left Antioch. The Holy Spirit sent them to the town of Seleucia. From there they went in a boat to the island of Cyprus.

bwe@Acts:13:5 @ When they reached the town of Salamis, they told Gods word in the meeting places of the Jews. John was with them to help.

bwe@Acts:13:6 @ They went through all the island to the town of Paphos. There they met a witch doctor. He was a Jew named Bar-Jesus. He was not a true prophet.

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:13:14 @ The others went on from Perga. They came to Antioch in the district of Pisidia. On the Sabbath day they went into the meeting house and sat down.

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:13:24 @ Before he came, John <FI>the baptiser<Fi> talked to all the people of Israel. He said they should stop doing wrong things and be baptised.

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:13:28 @ They could not prove that he did anything wrong for which he should die. Yet they begged Pilate to kill him.

bwe@Acts:13:29 @ They did all the things that the prophets had written about him. Then they took him down from the cross made from a tree. They laid him in a grave cut from the rock.

bwe@Acts:13:31 @ People had come with Jesus from Galilee to Jerusalem. They saw him many days. Now they tell people what they saw.

bwe@Acts:13:41 @ They said, "Look, you people who despise everything. You will look in wonder before you die. I will do something in your time. I will do something that you will not believe even if someone told you what it is."

bwe@Acts:13:43 @ The meeting was finished. There were many Jews, also those who were not Jews but worshipped God. They followed Paul and Barnabas. Paul and Barnabus kept talking to the people and told them to keep on living in the way that will bring Gods blessing.

bwe@Acts:13:45 @ The leaders of the Jews saw that many people came. They were very jealous. They talked back to Paul and said he was not telling the truth. They also said wrong things about him.

bwe@Acts:13:46 @ But Paul and Barnabas did not fear the Jewish leaders. They said, We had to tell Gods word to you first but you will not listen to it. By that you are saying you Jews are not good enough to live for ever. So we will go to the people who are not Jews.

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:13:50 @ But the leaders of the Jews talked to the leading women who worshipped God and to the chief men of Antioch. They made plenty of trouble for Paul and Barnabas. They made them leave that part of the country.

bwe@Acts:13:51 @ So Paul and Barnabas shook the dust off their feet and left them. They went on to Iconium.

bwe@Acts:14:1 @ In Iconium Paul and Barnabas did as they had done before in other places. They went into the Jews meeting place and spoke. Many of the Jews and the other people believed.

bwe@Acts:14:2 @ But the Jews who did not believe said wrong things about them. They spoiled the minds of those who were not Jews so that they hated the Christians.

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:14:5 @ Then some of those people who were not Jews joined together with the Jews and their leaders. They made a plan to give the apostles much trouble and to kill them with stones.

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:14:7 @ There they told people the good news.

bwe@Acts:14:11 @ When the people saw what Paul had done, they shouted in their own language, The gods have become like men! They have come down to visit us.

bwe@Acts:14:12 @ They named Barnabas, Jupiter. And they named Paul, Mercury, because he was the one who talked.

bwe@Acts:14:14 @ But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and ran in among the people shouting.

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:14:16 @ In the time that is past, God allowed all people to do what they wanted to do.

bwe@Acts:14:18 @ By saying these things they stopped the people from making sacrifices to them.

bwe@Acts:14:19 @ Some of the Jewish leaders from Antioch and Iconium came to Lystra and won the people to their side. They threw stones at Paul. Then they carried him out of the city because they thought he was dead.

bwe@Acts:14:20 @ But as the disciples gathered around him, he got up and they went back into the city. The next day Paul and Barnabas left and went to Derbe.

bwe@Acts:14:21 @ They told the good news to the people in Derbe. Many people believed what they taught. Then they went back to Lystra, to Iconium. and to Antioch.

bwe@Acts:14:22 @ They talked to the disciples to help them. They told them to keep on believing. They said, We must go through much trouble to get into Gods kingdom.

bwe@Acts:14:23 @ They chose leaders for them in every church. They talked with God and fasted. When they were finished, they gave the leaders over to the Lords care, because they believed in him.

bwe@Acts:14:24 @ They went through the district of Pisidia to Pamphylia.

bwe@Acts:14:25 @ They told the good news to the people in Perga. Then they went to the town of Attalia.

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:14:27 @ When they reached the city, they called all the church people together. They told them all that God had done for them. They said, Now God has opened the way to believe for those who are not Jews.

bwe@Acts:15:1 @ Some men came from Judea and taught the Christian brothers. They said, You must be circumcised with the mark made on your body in the way Moses taught us. If you are not circumcised you cannot be saved.

bwe@Acts:15:2 @ Paul and Barnabas did not agree with them. There was much talking about it. Then they decided that Paul and Barnabas and some of the other men should go to Jerusalem. They would ask the apostles and church leaders there about it.

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:15:4 @ When they reached Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church people, the apostles, and the church leaders. They told all that God had done as he worked with them.

bwe@Acts:15:5 @ But some of the believers who belonged to the Pharisee group stood up and said, They must be circumcised <FI>like the Jews<Fi>. We must tell them to keep all the laws of Moses.

bwe@Acts:15:7 @ After much talking about it, Peter stood up. He said, Men and brothers, you know what happened in the first days. God chose me to tell the good news to those who are not Jews. They believed.

bwe@Acts:15:8 @ God knows what is in a persons heart. He proved that they believed. He gave them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us.

bwe@Acts:15:9 @ God made no difference between them and us. He made their hearts clean when they believed.

bwe@Acts:15:12 @ Then all the people stopped talking. They listened to what Paul and Barnabas had to say. They told them about all the signs and wonderful things that God had helped them to do among the people who were not Jews.

bwe@Acts:15:13 @ When they had finished talking, James said, Men and brothers, listen to me.

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:15:20 @ We should write them a letter and tell them what they must not do. They must not eat food that has been given to idols. They must not have sex with someone who is not their husband or wife. They must not eat the meat of animals that are killed by choking. They must not taste blood.

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:15:22 @ Then the apostles, and the leaders, and all the church people chose men from among themselves. They sent them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas, whose other name was Barsabbas, and Silas. They were leaders among the Christian brothers.

bwe@Acts:15:23 @ They sent a letter with them. It said, The apostles, the church leaders, and the Christian brothers send greetings to the Christians who are not Jews in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia.

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:15:27 @ We are sending Judas and Silas. They will tell you the same things that we have written in the letter.

bwe@Acts:15:30 @ So the men left and went to Antioch. There they called the people together and gave them the letter.

bwe@Acts:15:31 @ When the people read the letter, they were very glad. It helped them to become stronger in what they believed.

bwe@Acts:15:32 @ Judas and Silas were prophets. They said many things to the Christian brothers and helped them to believe more strongly.

bwe@Acts:15:33 @ They stayed there for a while. Then the brothers sent them back to those who had sent them. They sent a greeting of peace with them.

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:15:36 @ Some days later, Paul said to Barnabas, Let us go back and visit the brothers in every city where we have told the Lords message. Let us see how they are doing.

bwe@Acts:15:38 @ But Paul did not think that they should take him. John Mark had left them when they were at Pamphylia. He had not gone along with them to do the work.

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:16:4 @ They went from town to town and talked to the people. They told them what the apostles and church leaders at Jerusalem had said should be done. So the church people became stronger in what they believed. Every day more people joined the church.

bwe@Acts:16:6 @ Paul and Silas went through the district of Phrygia and Galatia. The Holy Spirit said they should not tell Gods word in the country of Asia Minor.

bwe@Acts:16:7 @ After they came to the district of Mysia, they wanted to go to the country of Bithynia but the Holy Spirit did not allow them.

bwe@Acts:16:8 @ So they went by Mysia and came to the city of Troas.

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:16:19 @ 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:16:20 @ When they had brought them before the judges, they said, These men are Jews. And they are making much trouble in our city.

bwe@Acts:16:21 @ They are teaching people laws which we may not obey because we are Roman people.

bwe@Acts:16:22 @ All the people standing around were against Paul and Silas. The judges tore off the clothes of Paul and Silas. They gave orders that they should be beaten.

bwe@Acts:16:23 @ They beat them very hard. Then they put them in prison. Take care, they said to the prison guard. Be sure that these prisoners do not run away.

bwe@Acts:16:24 @ And so the guard put them in the back room in the prison. They locked their feet in holes cut in heavy pieces of wood.

bwe@Acts:16:25 @ At midnight, Paul and Silas were talking with God. They were singing and praising God. The other prisoners were listening to them.

bwe@Acts:16:31 @ They replied, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. All the people in your house must do the same.

bwe@Acts:16:32 @ They talked to him and all the people in the house. They told them the word of the Lord.

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:16:35 @ In the morning the judges sent soldiers to the guard with a message. Let those men go free, they said.

bwe@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said, We are Romans. And they have beaten us outside where people can see. They have put us in prison without proving we have done wrong. Now, are they going to take us out of prison secretly? No, they themselves must come and take us out.

bwe@Acts: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:16:39 @ So they came to Paul and Silas. They said they were sorry for what they had done. They brought them out of prison and asked them to leave the city.

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:17:1 @ Paul and Silas went through the cities of Amphipolis and Apollonia. Then they reached the town of Thessalonica. Here the Jews had a meeting place.

bwe@Acts:17:4 @ Some of the people believed him and they followed Paul and Silas. Some of them were Greek people who worshipped God. And some were leading women.

bwe@Acts:17:5 @ But some Jews did not believe, and they were jealous. So they called some of the bad men together and made a crowd. They started to fight and to make plenty of trouble and noise in the city. At Jasons house they went in by force to find Paul and Silas. They wanted to bring them outside to the people.

bwe@Acts:17:6 @ But they did not find them. So they took Jason and some of the Christian brothers to the rulers of the city. They shouted, These men have turned the world upside down. Now they have come here also.

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:17:9 @ They made Jason and the other Christians pay much money. Then they let them go.

bwe@Acts:17:10 @ That night the Christian brothers sent Paul and Silas to the town of Berea. When they reached there, they went into the Jews meeting place.

bwe@Acts:17:11 @ The people in Berea were better than the people of Thessalonica. They were glad to listen to Pauls words. Every day they studied the holy writings to see if what Paul said was right.

bwe@Acts:17:13 @ The leaders of the Jews in Thessalonica heard that Paul told the word of God to the people at Berea. They came to Berea and talked to the people. They said things that made the people very angry against Paul.

bwe@Acts:17:15 @ The men took Paul to the city of Athens. Paul told them to tell Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as they could.

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:17:21 @ All the people of Athens and the strangers who lived there passed their time in one way. They liked to tell and to hear some new thing.

bwe@Acts:17:25 @ Men cannot worship him by things they make with their hands because he does not need anything. He is the one who gives life and breath and everything else to all people.

bwe@Acts: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:17:30 @ In times past God did not look at what people did. They did not know any better then. But now he is calling all people to stop doing those things.

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:18:3 @ Pauls work had been the making of tents, and that is what they did. So he stayed with them. They worked together.

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:18:8 @ 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:18:12 @ When Gallio was the ruler of the province of Achaia, the Jews got together to stop Paul. They took him to court.

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:18:17 @ 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:18:19 @ When they reached the city of Ephesus, Paul left the others there. He himself went to the meeting place and talked with the Jews.

bwe@Acts:18:26 @ He began to speak without fear in the meeting place. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him to their house. They explained the way of God so that he knew more about it.

bwe@Acts:18:27 @ Apollos decided to go into Achaia. The Christian brothers wrote to the disciples there and asked them to receive him. When he reached Achaia, he helped very much those who believed. They believed because God was kind to them.

bwe@Acts:19:2 @ Paul asked them, Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? They said, No. We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.

bwe@Acts:19:3 @ Paul asked them, How were you baptised? They said, We were baptised in Johns way.

bwe@Acts:19:4 @ Then Paul said, John baptised people when they stopped their wrong ways. He told people that they should believe on the one who would follow him. That one is Jesus.

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:19:11 @ God did big works through Paul. Even some pieces of cloth he had touched were carried to sick people and they were healed. Also, people who had bad spirits in them were made free.

bwe@Acts:19:13 @ Some Jews were there who travelled about from place to place. They had power over bad spirits like witch-doctors. They tried to make people free from bad spirits by using the name of the Lord Jesus. They said to the spirits, I tell you, in the name of Jesus, the one Paul talks about, come out!

bwe@Acts:19:16 @ And the man who had the bad spirit in him jumped on them. He beat them all because he was stronger than they were. Their bodies were bleeding and their clothes were torn. They ran out of the house.

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:19:18 @ Many of the people who believed, told God all the bad things they used to do.

bwe@Acts:19:19 @ Many had been witch-doctors. They brought their books and burned them in front of all the people. All the books together had cost about 50,000 silver coins.

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:19:29 @ All the people in the city were excited. They caught two men from Macedonia. Their names were Gaius and Aristarchus. They had travelled with Paul. Then they all rushed to the big meeting place with them.

bwe@Acts:19:31 @ Some of the leaders in Asia Minor liked Paul. They sent word to him and begged him not to go into the meeting place.

bwe@Acts:19:32 @ Some of the people were shouting one thing and some another. They were all stirred up. Most of the people did not know why they had come together.

bwe@Acts:19:34 @ But when they saw that he was a Jew, they all shouted together for two hours, Great is Diana of Ephesus!

bwe@Acts:19:35 @ At last the city chief stopped the shouting. He said, Men of Ephesus, everyone knows that all the people of Ephesus take care of the house of the great Diana. And they take care of the stone which fell from the sky.

bwe@Acts:19:37 @ The men whom you have brought here have not taken anything from the house. They have not even said anything wrong about our goddess.

bwe@Acts:20:1 @ When everything was quiet, Paul called the disciples. He talked to them so they would not be afraid. Then he said goodbye and left. He went to Macedonia.

bwe@Acts:20:4 @ Some men went with him as far as Asia Minor. They were Sopater from Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, and Timothy, and also Tychicus and Trophimus from Asia Minor.

bwe@Acts:20:7 @ On the first day of the week the disciples met together to break bread. Paul was ready to leave the next day. He talked a long time to the people at the meeting until long into the night. They were gathered in an upstairs room with many lights.

bwe@Acts:20:12 @ The people took the young man. They were very glad because he was alive.

bwe@Acts:20:18 @ When they came, he said, You know how I have lived all the time that I have been with you. I lived that way from the first day I came into Asia.

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:20:30 @ Also, some men will come from among you. They will teach things that are not true. They want people to follow them.

bwe@Acts:20:37 @ They all cried much. They put their arms around his neck and kissed him.

bwe@Acts:20:38 @ They were sad most of all because he had said they would not see him again. And they went with him to the boat.

bwe@Acts:21:3 @ When we saw the island of Cyprus, we went on the right side of it to Syria. We landed at Tyre because they unloaded the boat there.

bwe@Acts:21:6 @ We said goodbye to each other. Then we got on the boat and they went back to their homes.

bwe@Acts:21:9 @ He had four daughters who spoke words from God. They were not married.

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:21:20 @ When they heard it, they praised the Lord. They said to Paul, Brother, there are many thousands of Jews who believe. They all say we must obey the law of Moses.

bwe@Acts:21:21 @ They have heard that you teach all the Jews who live in other lands. They heard that you tell them not to obey Moses law: that they need not circumcise their children like the Jews do; and they can leave the Jewish ways of living.

bwe@Acts:21:22 @ What should we do about it? Many people will gather together because they will surely hear that you have come.

bwe@Acts:21:24 @ Take them with you. Make yourself clean with them, the way the law says to do. Pay the cost for having their hair cut. Then all the people will know that all the things they heard about you are not true. They will know that you live the way the law says you should live.

bwe@Acts:21:25 @ We sent a letter to those who are not Jews and have believed. Here is what we told them they must not do. They must not touch things that have been given to idols. They must not taste blood. They must not eat the meat of animals that were killed by choking. And they must not take part in any kind of wrong sexual behaviour between men and women.

bwe@Acts:21:26 @ Then Paul took the men with him. The next day he made himself clean with them the way the law says to do. Then he went into the temple. He told the priests which day they would finish making themselves clean. On that day a sacrifice would be made for each one of them.

bwe@Acts:21:27 @ The seven days were almost over. The Jewish leaders from Asia Minor saw Paul in the temple. They got all the people there excited. They caught hold of him.

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:21:30 @ So all the people in the city were excited. They came running. They caught Paul and took him out of the temple by force. Then the doors were shut behind them.

bwe@Acts:21:31 @ They were trying to kill him. The officer in charge of the soldiers heard that all the people of Jerusalem were making trouble.

bwe@Acts:21:32 @ Right away he took some soldiers and officers with him and ran down to the people. When the people saw them they stopped beating Paul.

bwe@Acts:21:36 @ They were all following, shouting, Kill him!

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:22:5 @ 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:22:9 @ The men who were with me saw the light. They were afraid. But they did not hear the one who spoke to me.

bwe@Acts:22:19 @ And I said, "Lord, they know that I put in prison those who believed in you. I beat them in all the meeting houses.

bwe@Acts:22:22 @ The people listened to Paul until he said that. Then they shouted, Kill him and get him off the earth. A man like that should not live!

bwe@Acts:22:23 @ The people shouted. They waved their clothes about and threw dust in the air.

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:23:8 @ The Sadducees say the dead will not be raised again. They say there is no angel or spirit. But the Pharisees believe in all these three things.

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:23:10 @ The people started fighting. The commanding officer was afraid they would tear Paul into pieces. So he told the soldiers to take Paul and bring him into the army house.

bwe@Acts:23:12 @ In the morning, some of the Jewish leaders planned together. They made a promise that they would not eat or drink until they had killed Paul.

bwe@Acts:23:14 @ They came to the chief priests and leaders and said, We have made a promise for ourselves. We will not eat anything until we have killed Paul.

bwe@Acts:23:19 @ The officer took the young man by the arm. He went to one side so they could be alone. He asked, What do you want to tell me?

bwe@Acts:23:20 @ The young man said, The leaders of the Jews have made a plan. They will ask you to bring Paul down to court tomorrow. They will say that they wish to find out more about him.

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:23:27 @ 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:23:28 @ I wanted to find out what complaint they had against him, so I brought him into their court.

bwe@Acts:23:30 @ When I heard that the Jewish leaders were planning to catch him, I sent him to you at once. I told those who are making complaints against him that they must bring the matter to you.

bwe@Acts:23:31 @ So the soldiers took Paul as they had been told to do. They went with him that night as far as the town of Antipatris.

bwe@Acts:23:33 @ When they reached Caesarea, they gave the letter to the ruler and brought Paul to him.

bwe@Acts:24:1 @ Five days later, Ananias the high priest came from Jerusalem. He brought with him some of the leaders and a lawyer named Tertullus. They told the ruler their complaint against Paul.

bwe@Acts:24:9 @ The Jews agreed with what Tertullus the lawyer said. They said, Yes, yes, he is telling the truth.

bwe@Acts:24:12 @ They did not find me quarrelling with anyone in the temple. I was not making trouble among the people in the meeting houses or in the city.

bwe@Acts:24:13 @ They cannot prove the things they have said against me here.

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:24:19 @ Some Jews were there from Asia Minor. They should be here before you and talk against me if they have anything to say.

bwe@Acts:24:20 @ Or let these men here tell if they found anything wrong with me when I stood in their court.

bwe@Acts:25:2 @ Then the chief priests and the leaders of the Jews told him what they had against Paul.

bwe@Acts:25:3 @ Please do something for us, they begged. Send for Paul to come to Jerusalem. They had made a secret plan to kill him on the road.

bwe@Acts:25:5 @ Let the men among you who are able come with me. If Paul has done anything wrong, then they can talk against him.

bwe@Acts:25:7 @ When Paul came in, the Jewish leaders who had come from Jerusalem stood around Paul. They talked much against him. But they could not prove that the things they said were true.

bwe@Acts:25:14 @ They stayed for many days. Festus brought Pauls matter to the king. He said, Felix left a man in prison here.

bwe@Acts:25:15 @ When I was in Jerusalem, the chief priest and leaders of the Jews came to me. They talked against him, and they asked me to punish him.

bwe@Acts:25:16 @ I told them that the Romans do not do it that way. They do not punish a man until he has met those who talk against him. Then he has a chance to speak for himself.

bwe@Acts:25:17 @ So they came here with me. I did not wait. The very next day I sat on my chair in the court and had the man brought in.

bwe@Acts:25:18 @ When they stood up, they did not say the wrong things against him that I thought they would.

bwe@Acts:25:19 @ But instead, they had a quarrel with him about the things they believe in. The quarrel is about a man named Jesus who died. Paul said he is alive.

bwe@Acts:25:23 @ So the next day Agrippa and Bernice came, making a big show of themselves. They went into the room to hear Paul talk. Officers and the leading men of the city also went in. When Festus called for Paul, he was brought in.

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:26:3 @ You know all the ways of the Jews. You know what they believe. So please take time to listen to me.

bwe@Acts:26:5 @ They have known me for a long time. They know, if they would tell it, that I lived like the Pharisee group. They obey the law better than any others who worship God the way we do.

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:26:18 @ I send you to them to open their eyes. Then they will turn from darkness to light. You are to take them out of Satans power and turn them to God, to be forgiven of their wrong ways. Then they will be among those who are made clean and pure by believing in me."

bwe@Acts:26:20 @ I told the good news to the people of Damascus and Jerusalem. Then I told it all over Judea. I went to those who are not Jews. I told everyone that they must stop doing wrong things and turn to God. I told them they must show by the way they live that they have stopped doing wrong things.

bwe@Acts:26:23 @ They said Christ must suffer. They said he would be the first person to rise from death. He would be the first person to bring news of light to the Jews and those who are not Jews.

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: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:27:12 @ 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:27:13 @ When the south wind began to blow a little, they thought they had what they wanted. So they started off. They went along very close to the land of Crete.

bwe@Acts:27:15 @ The wind blew against the boat and it could not go into the wind. So they let the boat go where the wind took it.

bwe@Acts:27:17 @ However, at last they got it up. Then they put ropes around the boat to make it strong. They were also afraid they would get stuck in a bad place in the sand. So they took down the big sail cloth that was up to catch the wind. Then they let the boat go where the wind took it.

bwe@Acts:27:18 @ The next day the storm was very bad. They threw out the things that were in the boat.

bwe@Acts:27:19 @ And the third day they threw off the things they used on the boat, with their own hands.

bwe@Acts:27:28 @ So they tested how deep the water was there. They found that the line went down twenty arm lengths. A little later they tested and found that it was only fifteen arm lengths deep.

bwe@Acts:27:29 @ Then they were afraid that we would hit the rocks. There were four heavy iron hooks called anchors. They let them down into the water at the back end of the boat. Then they wished that morning would come.

bwe@Acts:27:30 @ The boatmen wanted to get off and leave the boat. They even put down the small boat into the water. They said they were going to put more anchors out from the front of the big boat.

bwe@Acts:27:36 @ Then they all were glad and ate some food themselves.

bwe@Acts:27:38 @ They ate all they wanted. Then they threw the grain into the water, so that the boat would not be so heavy.

bwe@Acts:27:39 @ In the morning they saw land. But they did not know what country it was. They saw a sandy place. So they talked it over and thought they would try to get the boat on it.

bwe@Acts:27:40 @ They cut off the anchors and left them in the water. At the same time, they untied the wood that guided the boat. They put up the big sail to catch the wind and tried to get the boat onto that sandy place.

bwe@Acts:27:41 @ But they came to a place where there was sand under the water. The boat stuck in it. The front end stuck so badly that they could not make it go. The back end began to break up because the water beat it so hard.

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:28:2 @ The people there were very kind to us. They made a fire for us and took care of us. It was cold and raining.

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:28:6 @ The people thought surely he would swell up or would drop down dead at once. They waited a long time and saw that nothing bad happened to him. Then they said, We were wrong. He must be a god.

bwe@Acts:28:9 @ After this, other sick people on the island came to Paul. And they too were healed.

bwe@Acts:28:10 @ They gave us many things. When we went away, they put on the boat for us the things that we would need.

bwe@Acts:28:14 @ There we found some Christian brothers. They asked us to stay with them for seven days. Then we went to Rome. Some of the Christians at Rome had heard about us. They came to places called the Market Place of Appius and the Three Hotels. There they met us. When Paul saw them, he thanked God. It made him strong and glad to see these brothers.

bwe@Acts:28:17 @ After three days, Paul called for the leaders of the Jews at Rome. When they had come, he said to them, My brothers, I have done nothing against our people. I have obeyed the laws of our fathers. And yet I was made a prisoner at Jerusalem and was given over to the Romans.

bwe@Acts:28:18 @ When the Romans judged my case in court, they wanted to let me go free. They said there was no reason to kill me.

bwe@Acts:28:21 @ They said to him, The people of Judea have not written us any letter about you. When our brother Jews have come here, not one of them has told or said anything wrong about you.

bwe@Acts:28:23 @ So they chose a certain day. On that day many of them came to the house where Paul was staying. He told them about Gods kingdom. He tried to make them understand about Jesus by the things that were written in the law of Moses and in the books of the prophets. He talked from morning until evening.

bwe@Acts:28:25 @ They did not agree among themselves. So they started to go away. But before they left, Paul said one more thing. What the Holy Spirit said was right. He spoke to your fathers long ago through Isaiah, the prophet of God.

bwe@Acts:28:27 @ The hearts of these people have become hard. They do not hear with their ears. They have shut their eyes. They do not want to see with their eyes. They do not want to hear with their ears. They do not want to understand with their hearts. If they did, they would turn back to me and I would forgive them."

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:28:29 @ When Paul had said these words, the Jewish leaders went away. They were talking amongst themselves about these things.

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:1:18 @ God is angry. He has shown it from heaven. He is angry because of all the bad and wrong things people do. These people hold back Gods truth by the wrong things they do.

bwe@Romans:1:19 @ They know about God. God himself has shown them.

bwe@Romans:1:20 @ People cannot see that God has power which lasts for ever. They cannot see that he is really God. But ever since he made the world, he has clearly shown this by the things he made. So they cannot say, I did not know about God.

bwe@Romans:1:21 @ Even though they knew he was God, they did not worship him as God. They did not thank him. Their thoughts were no good. Their foolish minds became dark.

bwe@Romans:1:22 @ They said they were wise people, but they were foolish people.

bwe@Romans:1:23 @ They did not worship God who cannot die. But they worshipped things made to look like a man who does die. They worshipped things made to look like birds and animals and snakes.

bwe@Romans:1:24 @ So God left them to do the things their hearts wanted to do. They did the things that are not right to do with their bodies. They did not respect their own bodies.

bwe@Romans:1:25 @ They would not believe what was true about God. They believed a lie. They worshipped and worked for something that was made by God. They did not worship God-God who made all things. He is the one to worship for ever. Amen. May it be so!

bwe@Romans:1:26 @ That is why God left them to do the wrong things they wanted to do. Their women left the right way for women and did things that are wrong for women to do.

bwe@Romans:1:27 @ Their men also left the right way with women. They wanted to have sex with one another. They did wrong things with other men. Their own bodies were punished because of the wrong things they did.

bwe@Romans:1:28 @ They did not want to know God. So he left them to their wrong thoughts and to do things that are not right.

bwe@Romans:1:29 @ They were very bad. They did every kind of wrong thing. They were greedy. They hated people. They were very jealous. They killed many people. They fought. They fooled people. They told lies about people. They carried stories from one person to another.

bwe@Romans:1:30 @ They said wrong things about people. They hated God. They did not respect people. They were proud. They talked big. They even thought of new wrong things to do. They did not obey their parents.

bwe@Romans:1:31 @.They were foolish. They did not do what they said they would do. They did not love people. They were not kind.

bwe@Romans:1:32 @ They know that God says that people who do such things should die. Even so, they not only do them, but they praise other people who do them.

bwe@Romans:2:8 @ But God will be very angry with the people who think of themselves first before others. They do not obey what is right. They do wrong things.

bwe@Romans:2:12 @ All those who do not know the law <FI>of God given to Moses<Fi> and did what was wrong, will die. But they will not be judged by the law. All those who know the law and did what was wrong will be judged by the law.

bwe@Romans:2:13 @ (God does not say people are good because they have heard the law. But people who obey the law will be called good people.

bwe@Romans:2:14 @ Some people do not have the law. But they do what the law says because their own hearts tell them to. They have a law of their own, even though they do not know the law.

bwe@Romans:2:15 @ They show that the law is written in their hearts. They know what is right to do and what is wrong to do. Their own thoughts tell them they have done what is wrong or what is not wrong.)

bwe@Romans:2:24 @ The holy writings say, People who are not Jews say wrong things about the name of God. They do it because of what you Jews do.

bwe@Romans:2:27 @ Some people have not been circumcised, but they obey the law. They will show that you should be punished. You have the written law and you have been circumcised, and yet you break the law.

bwe@Romans:3:8 @ Some people say wrong things about us. They say that we say, Let us do wrong things so that good things will happen. People who say such things should be punished.

bwe@Romans:3:12 @ They all have turned away from the straight road. Together they have gone the wrong way. No one does good, not even one person!

bwe@Romans:3:13 @ Their mouth is like an open grave. They have used their tongues to fool people. The poison of bad snakes is under their lips.

bwe@Romans:3:16 @ Death and trouble are on the ways they go.

bwe@Romans:3:17 @ They do not know the way of peace.

bwe@Romans:3:18 @ They do not fear God.

bwe@Romans:3:20 @ No one will be put right with God because he has tried to obey the law. The law only makes people know what they have done wrong.

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:3:30 @ He will put right people who have been circumcised <FI>the Jews<Fi> because they believe. And he will also put right people who are not circumcised when they believe.

bwe@Romans:4:7 @ David said, God blesses people who have been forgiven the wrong things they have done. God covers over the wrong things they have done.

bwe@Romans:4:8 @ The Lord blesses people when he forgets the wrong things they have done.

bwe@Romans:4:11 @ Abraham was circumcised as a sign. It was a sign that he was a good man, because he believed when he was not yet circumcised. That makes him the father of all people who believe, even those who are not circumcised. God says they are good people.

bwe@Romans:4:17 @ the holy writings say, I have made you the father of many nations. Abraham was made the father of many nations by God. He believed God. He believed that God could make dead people live. He believed God when he said that things were true even though they had not happened yet.

bwe@Romans:4:24 @ They say it for us too. God will say we are put right if we believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from death.

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:5:21 @ 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:6:21 @ You are now ashamed of those things. What good did they do you? For the end of those things is death.

bwe@Romans:7:13 @ So did that good thing make me die? No. The wrong things I did made me die, because that good thing showed they were wrong. And the law shows that the wrong things are very, very bad.

bwe@Romans:8:5 @ Some people live the way their bodies want to live. They think only about the things their bodies want to do. Other people live the way the Spirit wants them to live. They think about the things the Spirit wants them to do.

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:8:21 @ And it hoped to be free like Gods children when they are made great.

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:8:30 @ He chose them and he also called them. He called them to himself as if they had never been bad people. He made them right with himself and he also made them great in heaven.

bwe@Romans:8:33 @ Who will say anything against Gods chosen people? For it is God himself who says they have been put right with him.

bwe@Romans:8:34 @ Who will say they are not right? Jesus Christ died. Yes, he was raised from death. He is at the right side of God. And he talks to God for us.

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:9:11 @ 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:9:24 @ In the book written long ago by the prophet Hosea, God says They were not my people. But I will call them "my people". I did not love her, but I will call her "the one I love."

bwe@Romans:9:25 @ And in the very place where it was said to them, "You are not my people," they will be called "sons of the living God."

bwe@Romans:9:29 @ So what shall we say? The people who are not Jews have been put right with God. They did nothing to make themselves right with God. But they were put right because they believed God.

bwe@Romans:9:30 @ But the Jews tried to obey the law that could make them good people. But they did not obey it all.

bwe@Romans:9:31 @ Why was that? They did not trust in God. They only trusted in doing the things of the law. They therefore hit their feet on the stone on which men hit their feet.

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:10:3 @ They did not know the way God makes people right with him. They tried to make themselves good people. So they did not obey Gods way to become right with him.

bwe@Romans:10:8 @ But what do the holy writings say? They say, The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. That means, the word to believe which we tell people.

bwe@Romans:10:14 @ But how can people call someone if they have not believed in him? And how can they believe in him if they have not heard about him? And how can they hear about him if no one tells them about him?

bwe@Romans:10:16 @ But they have not all obeyed the good news. It is as Isaiah said it would be, Lord, who has believed what we have told them?

bwe@Romans:10:17 @ So people believe because they hear. They hear because people tell them about Christ.

bwe@Romans:10:18 @ But I ask, have they not heard? Yes, they have. The holy writings say, Their voice has gone out all over the earth. And their words have gone out all over the world.

bwe@Romans:11:3 @ He said, Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have pulled down your holy places. I am the only one that is left, and they are trying to kill me.

bwe@Romans:11:6 @ But if it was a gift because he was kind to them, then it was no longer because of the things they did. Or else a gift would no longer be a gift.

bwe@Romans:11:7 @ So what does that mean? The Jews did not get what they tried to get. Only the people God chose got it. The hearts of the rest of the people became hard.

bwe@Romans:11:8 @ The holy writings say, God made them dull with sleep. He gave them eyes that could not see, and ears that could not hear. They have been like that until today.

bwe@Romans:11:9 @ And David said long ago, May the table where they eat be like a net and like a trap. May it make them fall down. May it punish them.

bwe@Romans:11:10 @ Make their eyes become blind so that they cannot see. Make their backs bent all the time.

bwe@Romans:11:11 @ So I ask, Have their feet been caught so that they have really fallen down? No. But because they began to fall, the people who are not Jews were told how to be saved. That would make the Jews jealous.

bwe@Romans:11:20 @ That is true. They were broken off because they did not believe. And you have your place only because you believe. So do not be proud, but fear.

bwe@Romans:11:23 @ God will also put back the other branches if they believe. God is able to put the Jews back where they belong.

bwe@Romans:11:27 @ This will be my agreement with them when I take away the wrong things they have done.

bwe@Romans:11:28 @ The Jews make themselves enemies of God because they do not want the good news of Jesus Christ. That helps you since the good news has then come to you. But God still loves the Jews because of the promise he made to their fathers long ago.

bwe@Romans:11:31 @ So now, they also have not obeyed him. But he will also be kind to them because he was kind to you.

bwe@Romans:12:19 @ My dear brothers, do not punish people who do wrong to you. But let Gods anger punish them. In the holy writings the Lord says, I myself will punish people. If they have done wrong things, I will do wrong things to them also.

bwe@Romans:13:3 @ The rulers do not bring fear to a good man, but they bring fear to a bad man. If you do not want to be afraid of a ruler, do what is good and he will praise you.

bwe@Romans:13:6 @ That is why you also pay taxes. The rulers serve God and they give all their time to their work.

bwe@Romans:13:7 @ Pay them all that they should have. Pay taxes to the person who should have the taxes. Pay money to the person who should have the money. Respect the people who should be respected. Honour a person who should be honoured.

bwe@Romans:15:4 @ Everything that is in the holy writings was written to teach us. They give hope and strength when we have troubles. The holy writings comfort our hearts.

bwe@Romans:15:11 @ And they also say, People who are not Jews, praise the Lord. All peoples should praise him.

bwe@Romans:15:16 @ I am a servant of Christ Jesus to the people who are not Jews. I am like a priest to them, to tell them Gods good news. Then I offer the people to God. That pleases God. They have been accepted by him and made holy by the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Romans:15:18 @ I will speak only of what Christ has done through me. People who are not Jews have obeyed the good news. They have obeyed because of what I told them and because of what I did.

bwe@Romans:15:21 @ The holy writings say, They were not told about him, but they will see him. And the people who have not heard of him will understand.

bwe@Romans:15:27 @ They wanted to do it, and they should do it for them. The Jews gave the people who were not Jews the good things their spirits need. So the people who were not Jews should give the Jews the good things their bodies need.

bwe@Romans:16:4 @ They almost died to save me. I am not the only one who thanks them. All the churches who are not Jews thank them also.

bwe@Romans:16:7 @ Give my greetings to Andronicus and Junia. They belong to my family. We were in prison together. The apostles think they are good men. They were Christians before I was.

bwe@Romans:16:11 @ Give my greetings to Herodion. He belongs to my family. Give my greetings to the family of Narcissus. They are Christians.

bwe@Romans:16:12 @ Give my greetings to Tryphena and Tryphosa. They worked for the Lord. Give my greetings to dear Persis. She has worked hard for the Lord.

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:16:18 @ Those people do not work for our Lord Jesus Christ. They work only for themselves. With their words of praise they fool people who do not know what is wrong.

bwe@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy sends you greetings. He worked with me. Luke, Jason, and Sosipater send you greetings. They belong to my family.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:18 @ When people who are turning away from God hear about the cross, they say, That is foolish! But for us who are being saved, the cross is the power God uses to save us.

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: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:2:14 @ The person who does not have the Spirit does not receive the blessings of the Spirit of God. He thinks they are foolish. He cannot understand them because only people who have the Spirit of God can test them.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:12 @ We work hard with our hands. People curse us, but we bless them. They trouble us much, but we must take it.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:13 @ They talk behind our backs, but we still try to win them. People treat us as a dirt pile, the rubbish of the world. And they still do these things.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:8 @ I wrote a letter to you. I told you not to be friends with people who use sex the wrong way <FI>with a person they are not married to<Fi>.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that bad people will have no part in the kingdom where God rules? Do not be fooled. There are some people who will not have part in that place. They are those who commit adultery of any kind, those who have idols, or steal, or are always wanting more, or talk wrong things about people, or drink plenty of strong drink, or take things by force, or curse.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:9 @ But if they cannot keep themselves under control, then they should marry. It is better to marry than to burn with desire for sex.

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:7:29 @ Here, my brothers, is what I mean. The time is short. In the time that is left, men who have wives should live as though they did not.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:30 @ People who cry should live as though they were not sad. People who laugh should live as though they were not glad. People who buy things should live as though they did not own them.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But not every Christian knows these things. Some of them have always believed in idols. And when they eat food which has been given to an idol, they think the food belongs to the idol. And because they are weak Christians they feel they do wrong when they eat it.

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:9:13 @ You know there are men who do the work in the temple. They get their food from the temple. Those who help to make sacrifices in the temple get a part of the sacrifice.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:14 @ It is the same with those who work telling the good news. The Lord said they should get their living from that work.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:24 @ You know when people are running a race, they all run. But only one man will win. The way you should run is to run to win.

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:10:1 @ My brothers, here is something you should know. Long ago, all our fathers were led by the cloud of God over them. They all went through the Red Sea.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:2 @ It was as if they were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:3 @ They all ate the same food from the Spirit.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:4 @ They all drank the same water sent by the Spirit. The water they drank came from a Rock of the Spirit which went with them. That Rock was Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:5 @ But God was not pleased with most of them. They died in the wilderness.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:6 @ This teaches us not to want wrong things as they did.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Do not worship idols, as some of them did. The holy writings say, The people sat down to eat and drink. Then they got up and danced.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:9 @ We must not test the Lord, as some of them did. They were bitten by bad snakes and died!

bwe@1Corinthians:10:10 @ Do not grumble, as some of them did. They were killed by the Angel of Death!

bwe@1Corinthians:10:11 @ These things happened to them to teach other people. They were written in the holy writings to teach us who are living in the last days of the world.

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:12:19 @ If they were all one part, how could it be a body?

bwe@1Corinthians:12:23 @ And we look after some parts of our body more than others because they need it. The parts of our body that are not so fine in one way are made more fine in other ways. But the parts which are fine already do not need to be made fine. God made the body and has given more care to the parts that need it.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:27 @ Are all the people apostles? Can they all speak words from God? Can they all teach? Can they all do big works?

bwe@1Corinthians:12:28 @ Do they all have the gifts to heal the sick people? Can they all speak in different tongues? Can they all tell the meaning of these tongues?

bwe@1Corinthians:13:6 @ Love is not glad when people do wrong things. But it is always glad when they do right.

bwe@1Corinthians:13:13 @ These three things will remain for ever. They are faith, hope, and love. And love is the greatest of them.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:7 @ Such things as horns or harps have no life, but they make sounds. Now if they dont make the right noise, no one will know what the sound means.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:9 @ If you say words that people cannot understand, they will not know what you say. You talk for nothing!

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:14:22 @ So then, tongues are a sign to people who do not believe God. They are not a sign to those who believe him. But speaking words from God like a prophet is a sign to those who believe. It is not a sign to those who do not believe.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:23 @ Sometimes all the people of the church may be gathered together. If everyone talks in tongues, and if some people who do not know or believe come in, they will say that you are crazy.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:24 @ But what happens if everyone speaks words from God? If such people come in, then the words from God will prove to them that they have done wrong. They will all speak to the heart.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:27 @ If any people talk in a tongue, only two or not more than three should talk. They must talk one at a time and someone must tell the meaning.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:29 @ Two or three prophets may speak words from God and the others should say what they think about it.

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:14:35 @ If the women want to know something, they should ask their own husbands at home. It is a shame for a woman to talk in a church meeting.

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:15:35 @ But someone will ask, How can dead people be raised? What kind of body will they have when they come back from death?

bwe@1Corinthians:15:40 @ So too, there are bodies for the sky and bodies for the earth. The bodies for the sky are fine in one way, and the bodies for the earth are fine in another way. They are not alike.

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:16:3 @ When I get there, I will send to Jerusalem the men you all choose. They will carry your gift with your letters of approval.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:4 @ And if it seems good for me to go too, they will go with me.

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:16:17 @ I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have come. They have made up for your not being here.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:18 @ They have made me happy and you also. Show that you know the value of such men.

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:2:14 @ We are not like some people. They tell Gods message to make money. But we tell it with a true heart just as God told it to us. We tell it as if we stood before God. And we tell it with Christs help.

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:4:3 @ If the good news which we tell is not clear to some people, it is because they are lost. They do not believe.

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: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:5:18 @ God was in Christ. He brought the world back to himself. He forgave them for the wrong things they had done. And he gave us the message that will bring people back to himself.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:9 @ Many people do not know us, and yet many people know us very well. We almost die and yet we live. People give us much trouble but they do not kill us. We are very sad and yet always glad.

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:6:15 @ Is there anything equal about a house of God and a house of idols? We are a house of the living God. God has said, I will live in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:2 @ They are being tested by much trouble. But they are always very happy. And they are very poor. Because of these two things, they give to others as if they were rich.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:3 @ I can tell you because I saw it myself. They gave as much as they could and even more than that. They did it all because they wanted to.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:4 @ They begged us to let them give something to help Gods people.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:5 @ And they did more than we thought they would do. First, they gave themselves to the Lord and to us, because we were doing Gods work.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:14 @ I want it to be equal for everyone. Right now, you have plenty and are able to help them. Another time, when they have plenty, they will help you when you need it. In that way things will be equal.

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:9:5 @ 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:9:12 @ 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:9:14 @ They will love you and talk to God about you, because God has blessed you very much.

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:10:10 @ Some people say, Pauls letters make us listen. They are strong. But he himself is weak and what he says is not worth listening to.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:12 @ We do not want to be like those people who praise themselves. They measure themselves by their own ideas, and look at themselves to see how good they are. When they do that, they are foolish!

bwe@2Corinthians:11:9 @ When I was with you and needed money, I did not make any of you pay me. When the brothers came from Macedonia, they gave me what I needed. So I was not, and I will not be, any trouble to 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:11:13 @ Men like that are not true apostles. They work to fool people. They try to make themselves look like apostles of Christ.

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:11:21 @ Are they Hebrew people? So am I. Are they Israels people? So am I. Is Abraham their father? He is mine too.

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:11:24 @ Three times people beat me with sticks, and once they threw rocks at me. Three times I was in a boat when it broke in the sea. I have been in the water all one night and day.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:20 @ And I am afraid that when I come my God will make me ashamed of you. I am afraid that my heart will be very sad about you. Many have been doing wrong things for a long time. Many have not turned away from their dirty ways, their wrong use of sex, and the things they should be ashamed of.

bwe@Galatians:1:7 @ There is really no other good news. But some people are making you think wrong things. They want to change the good news of Christ.

bwe@Galatians:1:14 @ I knew more about the law of the Jews than many of my own age among my people. I wanted much more than they did to obey the laws which our fathers passed down to us, even the ones that were not written.

bwe@Galatians:1:22 @ At that time the churches of Christ in Judea did not know me. They had never seen me.

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:1:24 @ And they praised God for what had happened to 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:2:4 @ But some men got in who were not true brothers. They came in secretly to spy on us to find out things about us. They did not want us to be free the way Christ Jesus has made us free. But they wanted to make us obey the old laws again <FI>which were given to Moses by God<Fi>.

bwe@Galatians:2:6 @ Those men who seemed to be leaders did not teach me anything new. It does not matter to me who they were. God does not love some people more than others.

bwe@Galatians:2:9 @ The leaders saw that God had blessed me. James, Peter, and John seemed to be leaders in the church. They saw that God had blessed me. So they accepted Barnabas and me as fellow workers. They agreed that we should go to the people who were not Jews and they themselves would go to the Jews.

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:2:12 @ Here is what happened. Peter ate with those who were not Jews. Then some men came whom James had sent. When they came he stopped eating with those who were not Jews. He was afraid of what the Jews might think.

bwe@Galatians:2:13 @ All the other Jewish Christians did the same as Peter did. They acted as if it was not right to eat with those who were not Jews. Even Barnabas did the same.

bwe@Galatians:2:14 @ But I saw they were not doing right. They were not obeying the true teaching of the good news. So I said to Peter in front of them all, You are a Jew. But you live the way people do who are not Jews. How then can you force those who are not Jews to live the way the Jews do?

bwe@Galatians:3:8 @ The holy writings say that he will put people right with himself if they believe him, even those who are not Jews. It was written down before God did it. The holy writings told the good news to Abraham ahead of time. It said, God will make you a blessing to all nations and people.

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:4:17 @ Other people are trying hard to get you on their side. But they do not mean to help you. They want to get you away from Christ so that you will listen to them.

bwe@Galatians:4:30 @ But what does the holy writings say? They says, Put away the slave woman and her son. The son of the slave woman will have nothing when the father dies. The son of the free woman will have everything.

bwe@Galatians:5:11 @ My brothers, am I still telling people to be circumcised? If I am, why are people still troubling me? If it were true, the cross of Christ, which they do not like, has lost its power.

bwe@Galatians:5:12 @ These teachers are troubling your minds. How I wish they would cut themselves off!

bwe@Galatians:5:17 @ People want to do wrong things that the Spirit does not want them to do. And the Spirit wants people to do things they do not want to do. The Spirit and the wrong things you want to do are against each other, so that you do not do what you yourself want to do.

bwe@Galatians:5:19 @ It is easy to see the wrong things people want to do. Both married people and those who are not married commit adultery. People make themselves unclean because of their wrong use of sex. They do things they should be ashamed of doing.

bwe@Galatians:5:20 @ They worship idols. They use witch-power. They hate. They quarrel. They are jealous. They get angry. They want their own way. They do not agree together and they join different groups against each other.

bwe@Galatians:5:21 @ They want what other people have. They even kill. They drink too much strong drink. They like to take part in loud drinking and dancing. They do other things like these. I have told you before and I tell you again. Those who do these things will not be in the kingdom of God.

bwe@Galatians:5:23 @ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have stopped doing the wrong things they want to do. They have stopped them just as if they were killed on a cross. And they have even stopped wanting to do them.

bwe@Galatians:6:6 @ People are taught the word of God. They should give some of all the good things they have to those who teach them.

bwe@Galatians:6:12 @ Some people want to do things that can be seen. They try to force you to be circumcised. They want to hide from trouble which would come to them if they talk about the cross of Christ.

bwe@Galatians:6:13 @ Even those who are circumcised do not obey the law. But they want you to be circumcised. Then they can be proud that they made you do it.

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:2:11 @ So remember that you were not born Jews. (They call you The Uncircumcised).

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:3:10 @ 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:4:13 @ The gifts are given so that we will all believe the one way and all know the Son of God. They are given so that we will be really grown-up Christians, like Christ himself.

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:4:17 @ Here then is what the Lord has told me to say. You must not live like the people who do not believe in God. They do not think clearly.

bwe@Ephesians:4:18 @ Their minds are dark. They are far away from Gods life because they do not know the truth. They have no love in their hearts.

bwe@Ephesians:4:19 @ Nothing makes them ashamed anymore. They live a very bad life. They do every kind of wrong thing. And they always want to do it more.

bwe@Ephesians:5:11 @ Have no part in the empty things people do in the dark. Show them that they are wrong.

bwe@Ephesians:5:12 @ It is a shame even to talk about the things they do in secret.

bwe@Ephesians:5:26 @ He did that so that he might make the church people holy, when they were washed with water by Gods word.

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:6:3 @ Fathers, do not make your children angry. But teach them the things children need to know, and tell them what they must not do. Teach them what Christ would teach them.

bwe@Philippians:1:14 @ Because I am in prison, most of my Christian brothers are stronger for the Lord. They are strong in the faith now and they are not afraid to tell Gods good news about Jesus Christ.

bwe@Philippians:1:15 @ Some of them tell about Christ because they are jealous. They want to prove they are better than me. Some of them tell about Christ because they want to help me.

bwe@Philippians:1:16 @ The first ones do it because they want to prove they are better than I am. They do not have a good reason. But they think they will make trouble for me while I am in prison.

bwe@Philippians:1:17 @ These last ones do it because they love me. They know that I am here to speak for the good news.

bwe@Philippians:1:28 @ Do not fear in any way those who are working against you. It is God who shows them they are lost and you are saved.

bwe@Philippians:2:11 @ Everyone will admit that Jesus Christ is Lord. They will praise God the Father for this.

bwe@Philippians:3:18 @ Many people live as if they hated the cross of Christ. I have often told you about them, and I tell you now with tears.

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:4:3 @ I beg you, my real helper, to help these women. They worked hard with me in telling the good news. Clement and my other helpers worked hard with me too. Their names are in Gods Book of Life. Always be glad for what the Lord has done. I will say it again, be glad.

bwe@Philippians:4:7 @ Here, my brothers, are some things I want you to think about. Think about things that are true, honest, right, clean and pure, things that are lovely, and things that are good to talk about. If they are good, and if they bring praise to God, think about these things.

bwe@Colossians:1:16 @ He made everything in the sky and on the earth. He made the things which can be seen and the things which cannot be seen. That means angels, kings, great powers, and rulers. They were all made by him and for him.

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:2:17 @ They are like a shadow of what is to come. But Christ is the body that makes the shadow.

bwe@Colossians:2:22 @ All such things are gone as soon as they are used. These are laws made and taught by men.

bwe@Colossians:2:23 @ These laws look as if they are good laws. They make a show of doing things for God. They make people humble themselves in some way. They make people control their bodies in certain ways. But they have no power to keep people from doing all the wrong things they want to do.

bwe@Colossians:3:6 @ They are things that make God angry.

bwe@Colossians:3:21 @ Fathers, do not make your children angry. They might stop trying to do right.

bwe@Colossians:4:9 @ I am sending Onesimus with him. He is also a good brother whom I love. He is one of you. They will tell you all about everything here.

bwe@Colossians:4:11 @ Jesus, whose other name is Justus, also sends greetings. These men are the only Jews who are doing Gods work with me. And they have comforted me much.

bwe@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ You have shown all the Christians in the countries of Macedonia and Greece how they should live.

bwe@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ They tell us how glad you were to see us. They tell us about how you left your idols and turned to God. You worship the God who is the living and true God.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ The Jewish leaders killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets. And they drove us out of their country. They do not please God and they are against all other people.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ They try to stop us from talking to those people who are not Jews. They do not want them to be saved. So they are always doing wrong things. And now at last, God has become very angry with them. have been away from you for a short time in body, but not in heart. We wanted very much to see you face to face, and we tried hard to come.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ When people are saying, Everything is quiet and safe, they will be destroyed. It will all happen very quickly. And there will be no way out. It will be like the pain that a woman has when a child is born.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ So comfort and strengthen one another, just as you are doing. you to respect those who are working among you. They are your leaders in the Lords work, and they tell you what you should do.

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@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: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:2:11 @ That is why God lets them be fooled so that they will believe what is not true.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ They will all be judged. I mean the people who have not believed in the true message but who wanted to do what is wrong.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ My brothers, please talk to God about us. Ask God that the Lords message may reach many people quickly and that they may receive it gladly as you did.

bwe@1Timothy:1:6 @ Some teachers have not tried to do these things and so they talk about things that do no good.

bwe@1Timothy:1:7 @ They want to teach the law. But they do not understand what they say. And they do not know what they are trying to prove.

bwe@1Timothy:1:19 @ Keep on believing. Do only what you know is right. Some people have not done that and they have stopped believing.

bwe@1Timothy:1:20 @ Hymenaeus and Alexander are among them. I have given them to Satan so that they will be punished and learn not to teach things that do not respect God.

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:2:8 @ So I want men in every place to talk to God. They must have clean lives when they lift up their hands to talk to God. They must not be angry. They must have faith in God.

bwe@1Timothy:2:9 @ I also want women to wear the right kind of clothes. They should not make a show of themselves, but use good sense. They should not fix up their hair in a fancy way, or wear gold and fine stones, or clothes that cost much money.

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:2:14 @ But anyway, the women will come safely through the time of delivering a child, if they keep on believing and loving God, and if they live a clean life and keep humble.

bwe@1Timothy:3:8 @ In the same way, the leaders helpers must be men whom people respect. They must not say one thing one time and something different another time. They must not drink too much wine. They must not try to get rich in wrong ways.

bwe@1Timothy:3:9 @ They must know Gods plan and what we believe. They must do only what they know is right.

bwe@1Timothy:3:10 @ Try these men first. Then let them help the church people if they have done nothing wrong.

bwe@1Timothy:3:11 @ In the same way, their wives must be women whom people respect. They must not tell lies about anyone. They must be able to control themselves. They must live so that people can trust them in all things.

bwe@1Timothy:3:12 @ The leaders helpers must have only one wife. They must be good leaders for their children and family.

bwe@1Timothy:3:13 @ When they have done the work of a helper well, people will respect them. If they do well, they will not fear to tell what they believe about Christ Jesus.

bwe@1Timothy:4:1 @ The Spirit of God says very plainly that in later times some people will stop believing. They will listen to other spirits that fool them, and to the teaching of bad spirits.

bwe@1Timothy:4:2 @ Men will tell lies and make people believe they are something when they are not. These men will have made their hearts so hard that they will not know they are doing wrong.

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:4:12 @ Do not let anyone despise you because you are a young man. Show those who believe how they should live. Show them by the way you talk. Show them by the way you live. Show them by the way you love. Show them how to believe by the way you believe. Show them how to live a clean life by the way you live a clean life.

bwe@1Timothy:5:3 @ Help widow women, whose husbands are dead, if they have no one to help them.

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:5:7 @ Tell them these things so that they will do what is right.

bwe@1Timothy:5:11 @ But do not choose young women. When they begin to love other things more than Christ, they will want to marry again.

bwe@1Timothy:5:12 @ And that will be wrong for them because they have not kept their first promise.

bwe@1Timothy:5:13 @ Not only that, but they also become lazy. They walk about going from house to house. Not only are they lazy but they talk too much and tell stories about people. They tell things they should not tell.

bwe@1Timothy:5:14 @ So I would like young women to marry again and have children. They should care for their homes. They should do nothing that would make the enemy say wrong things about them.

bwe@1Timothy:5:16 @ Do any Christians have in their families women whose husbands are dead? If they do, they should help them. The church people should not have to care for them. Then the church can help the women who have no one to help them.

bwe@1Timothy:5:24 @ The wrong things some men do can be seen clearly and show that they should be punished. But wrong things other people do are not seen until later.

bwe@1Timothy:5:25 @ So also, the good things are seen clearly. Even when they are not seen at first, they will be seen later.

bwe@1Timothy:6:2 @ Those who work for Christian masters should not take life easy just because the person they work for is a Christian. They should work all the better because they are loved by them. Teach these things and tell people to do them.

bwe@1Timothy:6:4 @ If there is such a person, he is full of pride. He knows nothing. He wants to quarrel and talk about words. Such things make people jealous of each other. They think wrong thoughts about each other which are not true.

bwe@1Timothy:6:5 @ They quarrel. The minds of these men are bad. They do not know what is true. They think that worshipping God makes people rich. Keep away from such people.

bwe@1Timothy:6:6 @ It is true that people are much better off if they live to please God and if they are satisfied.

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:6:10 @ Because people love money they do all kinds of wrong things. Some people have stopped believing in God because they want money so much. And it brings them many troubles.

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@1Timothy:6:20 @ Timothy, take good care of what has been given to you. Some teachers say they know many things, but these things are not true. Do not teach these foolish things that do not come from God. Do not teach these things that do not agree together.

bwe@2Timothy:1:2 @ Timothy, you are my son and I love you very much. May God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord, bless you. May they be kind to you and give you peace.

bwe@2Timothy:2:10 @ That is why I bear all my trouble for the sake of Gods chosen people. I do it so that they also may be saved by Christ Jesus and be made great for ever.

bwe@2Timothy:2:18 @ These men say that the time when people are raised from death is past already. That is not true. And what they say is making some people stop believing.

bwe@2Timothy:2:20 @ In a large house there are many pots. They are not all made of gold and silver. Some are made of wood, and some of earth. Some are used for fine things and some are used for things that are not so fine.

bwe@2Timothy:2:23 @ Keep out of foolish quarrels. You know that they start fights.

bwe@2Timothy:2:26 @ And they may get free again from the devils trap. He has caught them to do what he wants them to do.

bwe@2Timothy:3:2 @ People will love themselves. They will love money. They will talk about themselves and be proud. They will say wrong things about people. They will not obey their parents. They will not be thankful. They will not keep anything holy.

bwe@2Timothy:3:3 @ They will have no love. They will not agree with anybody. They will tell lies about people. They will have no self-control. They will beat people. They will not love anything that is good.

bwe@2Timothy:3:4 @ They cannot be trusted. They will act quickly, without thinking. They are proud of themselves. They love to have fun more than they love God.

bwe@2Timothy:3:5 @ They act as if they worshipped God, yet they do not let Gods power work in their lives. Keep away from people like that.

bwe@2Timothy:3:6 @ They are the kind who go quietly into peoples houses. There they get foolish women to believe them. These women know that they have done many wrong things. And they want to do many kinds of wrong things.

bwe@2Timothy:3:7 @ They are always trying to learn, but never able to find out what is really true.

bwe@2Timothy:3:8 @ Jannes and Jambres were two men who were very much against Moses. In the same way, these men I am talking about are against what is true. They are men who have wrong thoughts in their minds. They do not believe.

bwe@2Timothy:3:9 @ But these men will not get very far. Everyone will see that they are wrong, just as people saw that Jannes and Jambres were wrong.

bwe@2Timothy:3:13 @ Bad men and those who fool other people will grow worse and worse. They will fool other people, and other people will fool them.

bwe@2Timothy:3:14 @ But you, Timothy, must keep on doing the things you have learned. You know they are right. You know who taught them to you.

bwe@2Timothy:3:15 @ From the time you were a child you knew the holy writings. They showed you how to be saved by believing in Christ Jesus.

bwe@2Timothy:3:16 @ All that is written in the holy writings comes from the Spirit of God. The holy writings are good for these things: to teach people, to show them when they are wrong, to make them see what is right, to teach them to do what is right.

bwe@2Timothy:4:2 @ Tell people the word of God. Be ready to do it at any time. Show people they are wrong and talk to them about it. Tell them what they should do. Be very patient with them and teach them in many ways.

bwe@2Timothy:4:3 @ The time is coming when people will not listen to good teaching. They will want to listen to the things they like to hear. And they will bring in many teachers who will teach them just what they want to do.

bwe@2Timothy:4:4 @ They will not listen to what is true, but will turn away and listen to strange stories.

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:1:5 @ 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:1:9 @ 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:1:10 @ You must put a stop to their talking. They stop whole families from believing in Christ because they teach things which they have no right to teach. They teach because they want to get paid for it, even though it is wrong.

bwe@Titus:1:11 @ One of their own prophets said, The people of Crete are always telling lies. They are like wild, bad animals. They are lazy and want to eat too much.

bwe@Titus:1:12 @ What he said is true. You must tell them that they are wrong. Tell them to stop it. They must believe what is true.

bwe@Titus:1:13 @ They must not use the old Jewish stories. They must not use the rules which were made by men who do not believe what is true.

bwe@Titus:1:15 @ They say that they know God. But what they do shows that they do not know him. They live in a way that God hates. They do not obey. They can do nothing that is good.

bwe@Titus:2:2 @ Tell the older men that they must not drink too much wine. They must be men whom people respect. They must be wise. They must believe what is true. They must be loving and patient.

bwe@Titus:2:3 @ Tell the older women also that they must live like Christians. They must not tell lies about anyone. They must not drink much wine. They must teach what is good.

bwe@Titus:2:4 @ They must teach the young women to love their husbands and their children.

bwe@Titus:2:5 @ They must teach young women to have good sense, to live a clean life, to care for their homes, to be kind, and to obey their husbands. Then people cannot say wrong things about Gods word.

bwe@Titus:2:7 @ Titus, show them what they should do in all matters by the good things you do. Do not mix your teaching with things that are not true. Teach in such a way that people will respect you.

bwe@Titus:2:10 @ They must not steal, but be very honest so the person they work for can trust them. In all things they must show that the teaching about God our Saviour is good.

bwe@Titus:2:15 @ Talk about these things. Tell people they must do them. And use all your power to stop people if they are doing wrong. Do not let anyone despise you.

bwe@Titus:3:1 @ Tell the people again to obey their rulers and governments, and to do what they tell them to do. Tell them to be ready to do any honest work.

bwe@Titus:3:2 @ They must not say wrong things about anyone. They must not quarrel. They must be kind and polite to everyone.

bwe@Titus:3:10 @ Talk to any who do not believe right. Talk to them about it once or twice. Then, if they will not listen, have nothing more to do with them.

bwe@Titus:3:11 @ You know that such people are wrong and what they do is wrong. They themselves know that they are wrong. Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at the city of Nicopolis. I have planned to stay there while it is the cold time of the year.

bwe@Titus:3:12 @ Do your best to send Zenas the lawyer, and Apollos on their way. Give them all they need.

bwe@Philemon:1:24 @ Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke are working with me. They all send greetings too.

bwe@Hebrews:1:11 @ These things will come to an end, but you will live on. They will all wear out like clothes.

bwe@Hebrews:1:12 @ You will fold up the world and the sky as if they were a blanket. They will not stay as they are now. But you will always be as you are now. The years of your life will never end.

bwe@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are not all the angels spirits that help? They are sent out to help the people who will be saved.

bwe@Hebrews:2:15 @ People were afraid to die. All their lives they were like slaves. When Jesus died, he was able to set them free from their fear.

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:3:9 @ There your fathers tested me and tried me. And they saw what I did for forty years.

bwe@Hebrews:3:10 @ So I was very angry with the people of that time. I said, "Their minds are always dark. They have not known my ways."

bwe@Hebrews:3:11 @ I said when I was angry, "They will never go into my resting place."

bwe@Hebrews:3:17 @ With whom was God angry for forty years? He was angry with the people who had done wrong. And they died in the desert.

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:3:19 @ So then, we see that they could not go in because they did not believe him.

bwe@Hebrews:4:2 @ The good news has been told to us just as it was told to the people in the desert. But the message which they heard did not do them any good. Even though they heard it, they did not believe it.

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:4:5 @ And now here he says again, They will never go into my resting place.

bwe@Hebrews:4:6 @ So that means some people will go in. But the people who first heard the good news about it did not go in. They did not believe it.

bwe@Hebrews:4:11 @ So let us do our best to go into that resting place. Those people died in the wilderness because they did not believe. So let us take care that the same thing does not happen to one of us.

bwe@Hebrews:5:11 @ We have many things to say about him. But they are hard to explain to you. You are so slow to understand what we tell you.

bwe@Hebrews:6:4 @ Some people had light in their hearts once. They knew the gift from heaven.

bwe@Hebrews:6:5 @ They had the Holy Spirit. They knew the word of God is good and felt the powers of the next world.

bwe@Hebrews:6:6 @ If people who were like that leave their faith in Christ, they cannot come to God again. They themselves nail Gods Son up on the cross again. They are holding him up to shame before everyone.

bwe@Hebrews:6:12 @ Do not give up. But be like the people who get what God has promised. They believe God and keep on believing for a long time.

bwe@Hebrews:6:16 @ When men make a promise, they ask someone to hear it who is greater than they are. When someone great has heard a promise, it stops any quarrel about it.

bwe@Hebrews:7:5 @ The sons of Levi, who are priests, have the right by law to take a tenth of what the people have. These people are their own brothers. They also are Abrahams children.

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:7:23 @ The other priests were many, because they died and could not go on with their work.

bwe@Hebrews:7:25 @ Because of that, he is able to save people for ever, if they come to God by him. He lives for ever to talk to God for them.

bwe@Hebrews:7:27 @ He does not need to make sacrifices every day. The other high priests make sacrifices every day, first for the wrong things they have done, and then for the people. He did it once when he offered himself as the sacrifice.

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:8:5 @ The work they do shows what the work of the priest in heaven is. When Moses made a house for God, here is what God told him to do. He said, Be sure you make everything like I showed you on the mountain.

bwe@Hebrews:8:9 @ It will not be like the agreement that I made with their fathers. I made that agreement the day I led them by the hand out of the country of Egypt. But they did not keep their part of my agreement, so I left them alone, the Lord says.

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:8:12 @ I will be kind even when they do what is not right, and I will never remember the wrong things they do.

bwe@Hebrews:9:5 @ On top of the box were the shapes of two angels. They showed that God is great. Their wings spread over the cover of the box. It was the place where God showed that he is kind. But we cannot take time to tell about every part of these things now.

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:9:10 @ These are only things to eat and drink and different kinds of washings. They are laws made for the body until the time when everything is made right again.

bwe@Hebrews:9:22 @ Yes, by the old law almost everything is made clean with blood. If no animal is killed to give blood, then there is no way for people to be forgiven for the wrong things they have done.

bwe@Hebrews:9:27 @ People must die, and after that they will be judged.

bwe@Hebrews:10:2 @ If the law could make people all right, they would stop making sacrifices. The people who come to worship would be made clean for all time, and they would not remember the wrong things they had done.

bwe@Hebrews:10:3 @ But, by making these sacrifices, they show that they do remember the wrong things they have done.

bwe@Hebrews:10:17 @ Then he also said, I will never remember the wrong things they have done and the times they did not obey.

bwe@Hebrews:11:1 @ If people believe God, then they know they have the things they hope to get. It is the proof of things we do not see.

bwe@Hebrews:11:2 @ There were people long ago believed God. He said they were good because they believed him.

bwe@Hebrews:11:9 @ Because he believed God, he lived like a stranger in the land God promised him. He lived in tents with Isaac and Jacob. They had the same promise he had.

bwe@Hebrews:11:12 @ Abraham was too old to be a father, but a great nation was born from that one man. They are as many as the stars in the sky and as the sands on the seaside. No man can count them.

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:11:14 @ People who say such things mean they are looking for a country which will be their own.

bwe@Hebrews:11:15 @ If they had wanted the country they left behind, they could have gone back to it.

bwe@Hebrews:11:16 @ But now they want a better country. They want a place in heaven. That is why God wants to be called their God. He has made a city ready for them.

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:11:23 @ The father and mother of Moses believed God. When he was born, they hid him for three months because they saw that he was a very nice baby. They were not afraid of the kings orders.

bwe@Hebrews:11:29 @ The people believed God and went through the Red Sea on dry land. When the people of Egypt tried to do that, they were drowned.

bwe@Hebrews:11:33 @ Men believed God and were able to win over other nations. They made people do what was right. They got what God promised them. They were not eaten by lions.

bwe@Hebrews:11:34 @ The big, hot fire did not burn them. They got away from men who wanted to kill them with long knives or swords. They were weak, but they became strong. They became very strong to fight. They drove away the armies of their enemies.

bwe@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women had children who died and were raised to life again. Some people allowed themselves to be beaten to death. They would not go free because they wanted to rise again to a better life.

bwe@Hebrews:11:36 @ Others were laughed at and beaten very hard. They were even tied with chains and put into prison.

bwe@Hebrews:11:37 @ They were killed with stones. They were tested. They were cut in pieces. They were killed with swords. They walked about wearing skins of sheep and goats. They were very poor. They were treated very badly. They were punished.

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:11:39 @ All of these people had good things said about them because they believed God. But they did not get what God had promised.

bwe@Hebrews:11:40 @ God planned something better. They will be made perfect but only with us.

bwe@Hebrews:12:10 @ Our fathers on earth punished us for a short time the way they wanted to. But God punishes us the way it is good for us. He is holy and good, so he wants us to become holy also.

bwe@Hebrews:12:19 @ You have not come to a place where a loud trumpet or horn is blown, and a loud voice is talking. When the people heard the voice, they begged that God would not say anything more to them.

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:12:23 @ You have come to the church people. They are Gods first sons, and their names are written in heaven. You have come to God who is the judge of all people. You have come to the spirits of good people who have been made right.

bwe@Hebrews:12:25 @ Take care that you listen to God who is talking now. The people were punished when they would not listen to the One who talked on earth. And we will be punished much worse if we will not listen to the One who talks from heaven.

bwe@Hebrews:12:27 @ The words, Only once more mean that the things that are shaken will be taken away. They are things that were made. The things which are not shaken will stay.

bwe@Hebrews:13:7 @ Remember your leaders. They have told you the word of God. Think about the way they lived and died, and keep on believing as they did.

bwe@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and do what they tell you. They are watching over your souls. They must give a report. Obey them so they will be glad, and not sad, to give a report. If you make them sad, it is no help to you.

bwe@James:1:1 @ I am James. I am a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. I send greetings to all of Gods people wherever they live.

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:2:6 @ But you made the poor man ashamed. Is it not the rich people who trouble you? Are not they the ones who take you to court?

bwe@James:2:7 @ Are not they the ones who say wrong things about the good name you have?

bwe@James:2:16 @ Perhaps one of you says to them, God bless you. Be warm. Eat all you want. But what good is that if you do not give them what they need for their bodies?

bwe@James:2:19 @ You believe that there is one God. That is right. But even the bad spirits believe that. And they shake with fear.

bwe@James:2:23 @ The words of the holy writings came true. They say, Abraham believed God. And he was called a good man because of it. In another place he was called Gods friend.

bwe@James:3:3 @ We put a piece of iron in the mouths of horses so they will obey us. Then we can make their whole bodies go where we want them to go.

bwe@James:3:4 @ Look at the big boats also. They are very big. The strong winds push them along. But a man uses a small piece of wood and makes the boat go where he wants it to go.

bwe@James:3:9 @ We praise our Lord and Father with our tongues. And we speak wrong words about people with our tongues, even though they were made like God.

bwe@James:3:12 @ My brothers, do olives come from a fig tree? Or do figs come from a vine? No, they do not! Salt water and fresh water do not both come from the same place.

bwe@James:3:16 @ If people are jealous of others, their lives are not right. They do every kind of wrong thing to get what they want. They confuse and upset people.

bwe@James:3:17 @ First of all, when God makes people wise, they are holy. They do not fight. They are gentle. They listen to what other people say. They are very kind and do many good things. They do not quarrel. They do not say what is not true.

bwe@James:5:6 @ You have punished good people. You have killed them. And they do not stop you.

bwe@James:5:10 @ My brothers, look at the lives of the prophets of God who spoke in the name of the Lord. See the troubles they had. They took them and waited. Do as they did.

bwe@James:5:14 @ Is any one of you sick? He should call for the leaders of the church people. They should talk to God about him and put oil on him in the name of the Lord.

bwe@James:5:15 @ Because they talk to God, and believe, he will hear them. The sick man will be healed. The Lord will make him well again. If the sick man has done wrong things, the Lord will forgive him.

bwe@1Peter:1:4 @ Because we are Gods children, one day we shall receive special blessings. They cannot be spoiled in any way, and they will last for ever. They are kept safe in heaven for you.

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:1:11 @ The Spirit of Christ in them showed them that Christ would have troubles and after that he would be great. They tried to find out when these things would happen or how things would be when they did happen.

bwe@1Peter:1:12 @ The Spirit showed them that they told these things not for themselves, but for you. And now the men who told you the good news have told you these same things. They spoke by the power of the Holy Spirit who was sent from heaven. Even the angels wanted very much to know about these things.

bwe@1Peter:1:24 @ The holy writings say, People may be great. But they are like a flower on the grass. The grass dies and the flower falls off.

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:2:11 @ Live good lives among the people who do not believe. They may talk about you as if you do wrong things. But when they see the good things you do, they will praise God on the day he comes to help you.

bwe@1Peter:2:13 @ Obey the rulers because they are sent by him. They are sent to punish those who do wrong things and to praise those who do good things.

bwe@1Peter:2:14 @ That is what God wants you to do. He wants you to do good things. By doing good things, you will stop foolish people from saying wrong things about you. They say wrong things about you because they do not know you.

bwe@1Peter:3:1 @ Wives, respect and obey your husbands in the same way. Then the husbands who do not obey the word of God will want to know God. They will want to know God because their wives live good lives, even though they say nothing about God.

bwe@1Peter:3:2 @ They will see that you live holy lives and respect your husbands.

bwe@1Peter:3:3 @ You should not be fine on the outside only. Some women make their hair nice. They wear gold things. They have fine clothes.

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:3:12 @ The Lord watches over those who do good. He listens when they talk to him. But the Lord is against those who do wrong things.

bwe@1Peter:3:16 @ Keep your hearts clean. Then when people say wrong things about you, they will be ashamed because they have talked wrongly about your good Christian life.

bwe@1Peter:3:20 @ In the days long ago, they did not obey God. God waited for them to do so while Noah was building the big house on the boat. A few people, only eight, were saved by going through the water.

bwe@1Peter:4:4 @ Those people are surprised now that you do not do the same wrong things they do. And they say wrong things about you.

bwe@1Peter:4:5 @ They will have to explain what they are doing. They will have to talk to God about what they have done. He is ready to judge living people and dead people.

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: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@2Peter:1:21 @ The prophets did not say what they wanted to say. But the Holy Spirit made them speak. And they spoke Gods message.

bwe@2Peter:2:1 @ But prophets who were not true were also among the people of Israel. Also there will be teachers who will not be true among you. They will bring in wrong teaching that leads to death. They will even say that they do not belong to the Master who bought them. And so they will quickly bring themselves to death.

bwe@2Peter:2:2 @ Many people will do the same wrong things they do. And because of them, men will say wrong things about the true way.

bwe@2Peter:2:3 @ Because they are greedy for money, they will trick you with lies. For a long time God has planned to punish them. They will be punished at the right time.

bwe@2Peter:2:4 @ God punished the angels who did wrong. He put them into the darkest part of hell. They must be kept there until the time when they will be judged.

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:2:9 @ The Lord knows how to save good people out of the trouble that tests them. And he knows how to keep bad people until the day when he will judge them. And they are being punished even now.

bwe@2Peter:2:10 @ Most of all, he will punish people who do the wrong things they want to do and who will not obey the men who rule over them. They are very bold and proud. They do not fear to say wrong things about those who are great, even about the angels.

bwe@2Peter:2:11 @ Angels have more strength and power than they. And yet the angels do not judge them and say wrong things about them to the Lord.

bwe@2Peter:2:12 @ These people are like animals that cannot think. They are like animals that are born to be caught and killed. They say wrong things about things they do not understand. They will die like the animals.

bwe@2Peter:2:13 @ Bad things will happen to them because they have done wrong things. They think it is fun to have a good time during the day. They are like spots and sores. They like to eat and drink at the love feasts with you. They are trying to fool you.

bwe@2Peter:2:14 @ They are always looking for women to have sex with them. They never stop their wrong ways. They fool people whose hearts are not strong to do right. They always want more and more money. Gods curse is on them!

bwe@2Peter:2:15 @ They have left the right road and have done wrong. They follow the same road that Balaam walked. He was the son of Beor. He loved the pay he would get for doing a wrong thing.

bwe@2Peter:2:17 @ These men are like wells with no water in them. They are like fog that is blown away by a strong wind. A very dark place has been kept to put them in.

bwe@2Peter:2:18 @ They say big and foolish things. They fool people who have just left those who live in wrong ways. They fool them by making them want to do wrong things with their bodies.

bwe@2Peter:2:19 @ They promise them that they will be free. But they themselves are slaves of death. A man is a slave of anything that rules over him.

bwe@2Peter:2:20 @ They left the wrong ways of the world because they knew our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Then when they went back to the wrong ways again, they were ruled by them. Then they will have more trouble than they had at first.

bwe@2Peter:2:21 @ It would have been better for them if they had never known the right way! Because they knew the right way, it was very wrong for them to turn from the holy law God gave them.

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:3:3 @ Here is the first thing. In the last days, men will come who will make fun of holy things. They will do what they themselves want to do.

bwe@2Peter:3:4 @ They will say, He promised to come. Where is he? Our fathers have died. And since then everything is just the same as it has been since the world was made.

bwe@2Peter:3:5 @ They do not want to remember that long ago God spoke and made the sky. He made the land come up from the water.

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:3:10 @ The day of the Lord will come like a man who wants to steal. There will be a loud noise and the sky will go away. The elements will melt with fire and they will be gone. The earth and everything on it will be burned up.

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@2Peter:3:17 @ My dear brothers, you know about these things before they happen. Take care that you do not do the same things that bad people do. Take care that you do not stop believing the right way.

bwe@1John:2:19 @ They left us, but they did not belong with us. If they had belonged with us, they would have stayed with us. But they left us so that people could see that all of them did not belong with us.

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:4:1 @ My dear brothers, do not trust every spirit. But test the spirits to see if they belong to God. There are many prophets who are not true who have gone out into the world.

bwe@1John:4:5 @ Those prophets belong to the world. That is why they teach about things in the world. And that is why the people of the world listen to them.

bwe@1John:5:7 @ There are three in heaven who prove it is true. They are the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one.

bwe@1John:5:8 @ There are three on earth who prove it is true. They are the spirit, the water, and the blood. These three all prove the same thing.

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@2John:1:3 @ God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Fathers son, will bless us. They will be kind to us. They will give us peace. They will do these things because they are true, and they love us.

bwe@2John:1:4 @ I was very glad to find that some of your children are living in the right way. They are living the way the Father told us to live.

bwe@2John:1:7 @ Many men who fool people have gone out into the world. They believe that Jesus Christ did not come to live as a man with a body. These men belong to the one who fools people. He is against Christ.

bwe@3John:1:3 @ I was very happy when the brothers came and told me that you have been true. They said you are really living the right way.

bwe@3John:1:5 @ They have told the people of the church here how you showed your love to them. Please send them on their way as God would have you do.

bwe@3John:1:6 @ They went out to do Christs work. And they have not taken any help from people who do not believe in God.

bwe@3John:1:7 @ So we should help such men with what they need. Then we are doing our part to tell the true message. I wrote a letter to the people of the church. But Diotrephes wants to be the leader. He will not listen to us.

bwe@Jude:1:4 @ Some men have come in quietly. They are bad men. The holy writings told us long ago that they would be punished. These men change the blessing of our God to do the wrong things they want to do. They show by their lives that they do not belong to Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord

bwe@Jude:1:6 @ Remember the angels also. Some of them did not keep the high place they had. But they left their home. God has them tied in chains for ever, and he is keeping them in a very dark place. He will keep them there until that big day when they will be judged.

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:1:8 @ And yet these men do the same wrong things. They think of and do wrong things with their bodies. They will not obey the men who rule over them. And they say wrong things about those who are great, even about the angels.

bwe@Jude:1:10 @ But these men say wrong things about everything they do not understand. They know some things just like animals that cannot think. And they will die because they do those wrong things.

bwe@Jude:1:11 @ They will have trouble! They have lived like Cain. They have done wrong things for pay like Balaam. They have talked against those who are over them. Korah did that. And so they will die as he did.

bwe@Jude:1:12 @ These men spoil your love feasts. They are not afraid to eat and drink with you. They take care only of themselves. They are like clouds that do not give rain, and are blown around by the winds. They are like trees when their leaves are gone and they have no fruit. These trees are also dead because they have been pulled up by the roots.

bwe@Jude:1:13 @ These men are like big waves on the sea. Big waves cause much trouble. And these men also show the wrong things they do. They are like stars that have fallen from their place in the sky. A very dark place has been kept for ever in which to put these men.

bwe@Jude:1:15 @ He came to judge all people and to punish all the bad people for all the wrong things they have done. And he came to punish bad people for all the wrong things that they have said against him.

bwe@Jude:1:16 @ These men complain about the way things are. They do not like it. They do what they themselves want to do. They say big things. They say nice things to people to get what they want from them.

bwe@Jude:1:18 @ They said to you, At the end of time, men will come who will make fun of holy things. They will do the wrong things they themselves want to do.

bwe@Jude:1:19 @ These are the men who make people go into different groups in the church meetings. They have only a mans heart. They do not have the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Jude:1:22 @ Some people are not sure what they believe. Be kind to them by sharing in their troubles.

bwe@Revelation:1:4 @ Here is what John wrote to the people of the seven churches which are in the country of Asia Minor: May Gods loving kindness bless you and give you peace. He lives now, he always has lived, and he will come again. May the seven Spirits bless you and give you peace. They stand in front of Gods throne <FI>chief chair of a king<Fi>.

bwe@Revelation:1:7 @ Watch! He will come in the clouds. Every one will see him. Those who stuck a spear in him will also see him. All the tribes on earth will cry when they see him. That is the way it will be. Yes it will!

bwe@Revelation:2:2 @ He says, "I know the things you do. I know that you work hard and are patient. I know that you have nothing to do with bad men. You tested those who say they are messengers from God but are not. You proved that they are not true apostles.

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:2:9 @ He says, "I know the things you do and the trouble you have. I know you are poor. But you are rich in some ways. I know some people do not respect God. They call themselves Jews. But they are not real Jews. They belong to Satans people.

bwe@Revelation:2:14 @ But I have a few things to say against you. You have some people there who believe the teaching of Balaam. He showed Balak how to trick the people of Israel and make them do wrong. They ate food that was given to idols, and they used sex wrongly.

bwe@Revelation:2:15 @ Also, you have people among you who believe the teaching of the Nicolaitans. I hate the things they do.

bwe@Revelation:2:22 @ Look, I will make her very sick, and also those who love her. I will do it if they do not stop what they are doing with her.

bwe@Revelation:3:4 @ But you have a few people in Sardis who have not made their clothes dirty. They will walk with me in white clothes, because they are good enough.

bwe@Revelation:3:9 @ Look! I will bring some people who belong to Satans group. They call themselves Jews, but they are not real Jews. They lie. Look, I will make them come and kneel down in front of you. They will know that I have loved you.

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:4:6 @ In front of the throne, it was like a sea of glass. It looked like a stone called crystal. Around the throne on the four sides of it were four living beings. They had many eyes in their faces and in their back.

bwe@Revelation:4:8 @ Each of the four living beings had six wings. They had many eyes all over their bodies and under their wings. They say all the time, day and night: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God. He has all power. He always has lived. He lives now. And he always will live.

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:4:11 @ They say: Our Lord and God, it is right for you to have praise and honour and power. You made all things. They were made and have life because you wanted them.

bwe@Revelation:5:6 @ I saw a Lamb standing in front of the throne and the four living beings, and in front of the leaders. It looked as if it had been killed. It had seven horns and seven eyes. They are the seven Spirits of God who are sent out all over the earth.

bwe@Revelation:5:8 @ And when he took the book, the four living beings and the twenty-four leaders kneeled down in front of the Lamb. Every one of them had a harp and a gold bowl. The bowls were full of incense that smelled very sweet when it was burned. These bowls are the words of Gods people when they talk to him.

bwe@Revelation:5:9 @ And the four living beings and the leaders sang a new song. The new song was: You are able to take the book and to open its locks, because you were killed. You have set the people free and bought them for God with the cost of your blood. They are from every tribe, language, nation, and country.

bwe@Revelation:5:10 @ You have made them into kings and priests for our God. They will rule on the earth.

bwe@Revelation:5:11 @ Then I saw and heard many angels. They were around the chair, and the living beings, and the leaders. There were many, many thousands.

bwe@Revelation:5:12 @ They said with a loud voice, The Lamb of God who was killed is the only one good enough to be given power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, praise, and blessing!

bwe@Revelation:6:8 @ I saw a horse the colour of ashes. The name of the man who rode it was Death. And the one who controls the world of the dead followed him. They were given power over a fourth part of the world. They could kill people with a sword, or by making them go without food to eat, or by making them sick, or with wild animals.

bwe@Revelation:6:9 @ When the Lamb opened the fifth lock, I saw the souls of people who had been killed. They were under the holy table where incense is burned. They had been killed because they believed Gods word and said they believed it.

bwe@Revelation:6:10 @ They called in a loud voice, Lord, you are holy and true. How long will you wait before you judge and punish the people on earth because they killed us?

bwe@Revelation:6:11 @ Then each one of them was given a white gown to wear. They were told to wait a little longer for the other Christian brothers. Those who worked with them for the Lord would be killed as they had been.

bwe@Revelation:6:12 @ I saw the Lamb opening the sixth lock. The earth shook very much. The sun became very dark, like the black cloth people wear to show they are sad. The full moon became red like blood.

bwe@Revelation:6:13 @ The stars in the sky fell to the earth. They fell like figs that are not ripe when the fig tree is shaken by a strong wind.

bwe@Revelation:6:16 @ They called to the hills and to the rocks and said, Fall on us! Hide us so the One on the throne will not see us. Hide us from the Lamb who is angry with us.

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:7:2 @ Then I saw another angel coming up from the place where the sun rises. He had something to put the mark of the living God on people. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels. They had been given power to hurt the earth and the sea.

bwe@Revelation:7:4 @ And I heard that one hundred and forty-four thousand people were marked. They were from every tribe of Israel.

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:7:10 @ They called in a loud voice and said, Our God who sits on the throne, and the Lamb: they are the Ones who save people. Salvation belongs to them!

bwe@Revelation:7:11 @ All the angels were standing around the throne and around the leaders and the four living beings. They bowed down their faces in front of the throne and worshipped God.

bwe@Revelation:7:12 @ They said, May it be so! Blessing, praise, glory and wisdom, thanks, honour, power, and strength belong to our God for ever and ever! Amen!

bwe@Revelation:7:13 @ Then one of the leaders talked to me. He said, Who are these people wearing white clothes? Where did they come from?

bwe@Revelation:7:14 @ Then I said to him, Sir, I do not know. And he said to me, These are the people who have had much trouble. They have washed their clothes in the blood of the Lamb and made them white.

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:7:16 @ They will not be hungry or thirsty again. The sun or any other heat will not burn them.

bwe@Revelation:8:3 @ Another angel came and stood at the altar. He had a gold bowl. Plenty of incense was given to him. He was to put it with all the words of all Gods people when they talk to him. He was to put it on the gold altar in front of Gods throne.

bwe@Revelation:8:4 @ The sweet smelling smoke of the burning incense went up at the same time as the prayer words of Gods people. They went up from the hand of the angel that was standing in front of God.

bwe@Revelation:9:3 @ Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth like big grasshoppers. They were given the power to hurt people the way that scorpions do.

bwe@Revelation:9:4 @ They were told not to spoil any of the grass, nor any green plant, nor any tree on earth. They were told to hurt only the people who did not have Gods mark on their foreheads.

bwe@Revelation:9:5 @ They were told not to kill them, but to trouble them for five months. The pain they give is like the pain a scorpion gives when it strikes a person.

bwe@Revelation:9:6 @ In those days people will look for death, but they will not be able to find it. They will want to die, but death will fly away from them.

bwe@Revelation:9:7 @ The locusts looked like horses ready to go to war. On their heads were gold crowns. And they had faces like people.

bwe@Revelation:9:15 @ So the four angels were let free. They were ready for the hour, the day, the month, and the year when they would kill a third of the people.

bwe@Revelation:9:18 @ By these three big troubles a third part of the people were killed. They were killed by the fire, smoke, and choking sulphur dust that came out of the mouths of the horses.

bwe@Revelation:9:19 @ The power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. Their tails have heads and are like snakes. They hurt people with them.

bwe@Revelation:9:20 @ The other people were not killed by these big troubles. But they did not stop worshipping what they had made with their hands. They did not stop worshipping bad spirits and idols made of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood. These idols cannot see or hear or walk.

bwe@Revelation:9:21 @ And they did not stop their killing, or their witchcraft, or their wrong ways of using sex, or their stealing.

bwe@Revelation:10:4 @ When the seven thunders had spoken, I was going to write down what they said. But I heard a voice from the sky that said, Do not tell what the seven thunders said. Do not write it down.

bwe@Revelation:11:2 @ Do not measure the part outside the temple. Leave it out, because it has been given to the people who do not believe in God. They will walk in the holy city for forty-two months.

bwe@Revelation:11:3 @ I will give power to the two men who speak for me. They will speak words from God. They will continue to speak for forty-two months. They will wear clothes like people wear to show they are sad.

bwe@Revelation:11:6 @ These two men can stop the sky from raining all the days that they speak words from God. And they can turn the water into blood. They can bring all kinds of trouble to the earth as often as they want.

bwe@Revelation:11:9 @ People from many nations, tribes, languages, and countries will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days. They will not let anyone bury them.

bwe@Revelation:11:10 @ The people on earth will be very glad to see them dead. They will have a happy time. They will give gifts to each other because these two men from God had troubled the people on the earth.

bwe@Revelation:11:11 @ But after the three and a half days, life came into them. They stood on their feet. And all those who saw them were very much afraid.

bwe@Revelation:11:12 @ Then they heard a loud voice from the sky saying to them, Come up here! They went up into the sky in a cloud. And the men who hated them saw them go up.

bwe@Revelation:11:13 @ At that time, the earth shook very much. A tenth part of the city fell down. Seven thousand people were killed by the shaking of the earth. The other people were very much afraid and they give glory to God in heaven.

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:11:17 @ They said, We thank you, Lord God, who has all power. You live now and you always have lived. We thank you because you have now used your power and started to rule.

bwe@Revelation:12:8 @ But they did not win the fight and no longer were they allowed to stay in heaven.

bwe@Revelation:12:11 @ They have won the fight against him by the blood of the Lambs death, and by what they said. They did not try to save their lives, but were willing to die.

bwe@Revelation:12:17 @ Then the dragon was very angry with the woman. He went away to fight against the other children of the woman. They are the ones who keep the laws of God and tell the truth about Jesus.

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:13:8 @ Everyone on earth will worship the beast, if they do not have their names in the book of life. The book of life belongs to the Lamb who was killed. That was Gods plan since the world was made.

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:14:3 @ They were singing a new song in front of Gods chief chair, in front of the four living beings and the leaders. No one could learn that song but the one hundred and forty-four thousand people. They have been bought from the earth.

bwe@Revelation:14:4 @ They are the people who have not had sex with women. They are clean. They are the people who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They lived among people on earth. They have been bought from the earth. They are the first among men to have been bought for God and the Lamb.

bwe@Revelation:14:5 @ They never told lies. They are found to be without any wrong ways as they stand before the throne of God.
