wmth@Matthew:1:18 @ The circumstances of the birth of Jesus Christ were these. After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they were united in marriage, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.

wmth@Matthew:2:5 @ »At Bethlehem in Judaea,« they replied; »for so it stands written in the words of the Prophet,

wmth@Matthew:2:9 @ After hearing what the king said, they went to Bethlehem, while, strange to say, the star they had seen in the east led them on until it came and stood over the place where the babe was.

wmth@Matthew:2:10 @ When they saw the star, the sight filled them with intense joy.

wmth@Matthew:2:11 @ So they entered the house; and when they saw the babe with His mother Mary, they prostrated themselves and did Him homage, and opening their treasure-chests offered gifts to Him–gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

wmth@Matthew:2:12 @ But being forbidden by God in a dream to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by a different route.

wmth@Matthew:2:13 @ When they were gone, and angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, »Rise: take the babe and His mother and escape to Egypt, and remain there till I bring you word. For Herod is about to make search for the child in order to destroy Him.«

wmth@Matthew:4:18 @ And walking along the shore of the Lake of Galilee He saw two brothers –Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew– throwing a drag-net into the Lake; for they were fishers.

wmth@Matthew:4:20 @ So they immediately left their nets and followed Him. As He went further on,

wmth@Matthew:4:22 @ And they at once left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

wmth@Matthew:4:24 @ Thus His fame spread through all Syria; and they brought all the sick to Him, the people who were suffering from various diseases and pains–demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He cured them.

wmth@Matthew:5:4 @ »Blessed are the mourners, for they shall be comforted.«

wmth@Matthew:5:5 @ »Blessed are the meek, for they as heirs shall obtain possession of the earth.«

wmth@Matthew:5:6 @ »Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be completely satisfied.«

wmth@Matthew:5:7 @ »Blessed are the compassionate, for they shall receive compassion.«

wmth@Matthew:5:8 @ »Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.«

wmth@Matthew:5:9 @ »Blessed are the peacemakers, for it is they who will be recognized as sons of God.«

wmth@Matthew:5:11 @ »Blessed are you when they have insulted and persecuted you, and have said every cruel thing about you falsely for my sake.

wmth@Matthew:5:16 @ Just so let your light shine before all men, in order that they may see your holy lives and may give glory to your Father who is in Heaven.

wmth@Matthew:6:2 @ `When you give in charity, never blow a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and streets in order that their praises may be sung by men. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.

wmth@Matthew:6:5 @ »And when praying, you must not be like the hypocrites. They are fond of standing and praying in the synagogues or at the corners of the wider streets, in order that men may see them. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.«

wmth@Matthew:6:7 @ »And when praying, do not use needless repetitions as the Gentiles do, for they expect to be listened to because of their multitude of words.«

wmth@Matthew:6:16 @ »When any of you fast, never assume gloomy looks as the hypocrites do; for they disfigure their faces in order that it may be evident to men that they are fasting. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.«

wmth@Matthew:6:26 @ Look at the birds which fly in the air: they do not sow or reap or store up in barns, but your Heavenly Father feeds them: are not you of much greater value than they?

wmth@Matthew:6:28 @ And why be anxious about clothing? Learn a lesson from the wild lilies. Watch their growth. They neither toil nor spin,

wmth@Matthew:7:6 @ »Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor throw your pearls to the swine; otherwise they will trample them under their feet and then turn and attack you.«

wmth@Matthew:7:15 @ »Beware of the false teachers–men who come to you in sheep's fleeces, but beneath that disguise they are ravenous wolves.«

wmth@Matthew:8:25 @ So they came and woke Him, crying, »Master, save us, we are drowning!«

wmth@Matthew:8:28 @ On His arrival at the other side, in the country of the Gadarenes, there met Him two men possessed by demons, coming from among the tombs: they were so dangerously fierce that no one was able to pass that way.

wmth@Matthew:8:29 @ They cried aloud, »What hast Thou to do with us, Thou Son of God? Hast Thou come here to torment us before the time?«

wmth@Matthew:8:31 @ So the demons entreated Him. »If Thou drivest us out,« they said, »send us into the herd of swine.«

wmth@Matthew:8:32 @ »Go,« He replied. Then they came out from the men and went into the swine, whereupon the entire herd instantly rushed down the cliff into the Lake and perished in the water.

wmth@Matthew:8:34 @ So at once the whole population came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, they besought Him to leave their country.

wmth@Matthew:9:2 @ Here they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith Jesus said to the paralytic, »Take courage, my child; your sins are pardoned.«

wmth@Matthew:9:8 @ And the crowds were awe-struck when they saw it, and ascribed the glory to God who had entrusted such power to a man.

wmth@Matthew:9:11 @ The Pharisees noticed this, and they inquired of His disciples, »Why does your Teacher eat with the tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?«

wmth@Matthew:9:15 @ »Can the bridegroom's party mourn,« He replied, »as long as the bridegroom is with them? But other days will come (when the Bridegroom has been taken from them) and then they will fast.

wmth@Matthew:9:17 @ Nor do people pour new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the skins would split, the wine would escape, and the skins be destroyed. But they put new wine into fresh skins, and both are saved.«

wmth@Matthew:9:24 @ and He said, »Go out of the room; the little girl is not dead, but asleep.« And they laughed at Him.

wmth@Matthew:9:28 @ And when He had gone indoors, they came to Him. »Do you believe that I can do this?« He asked them. »Yes, Sir,« they replied.

wmth@Matthew:9:31 @ But they went out and published His fame in all that district.

wmth@Matthew:9:32 @ And as they were leaving His presence a dumb demoniac was brought to Him.

wmth@Matthew:9:36 @ And when He saw the crowds He was touched with pity for them, because they were distressed and were fainting on the ground like sheep which have no shepherd.

wmth@Matthew:10:17 @ But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to appear before Sanhedrins, and will flog you in their synagogues;

wmth@Matthew:10:19 @ But when they have delivered you up, have no anxiety as to how you shall speak or what you shall say; for at that very time it shall be given you what to say;

wmth@Matthew:10:23 @ Whenever they persecute you in one town, escape to the next; for I solemnly tell you that you will not have gone the round of all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

wmth@Matthew:10:25 @ Enough for the learner to be on a level with his teacher, and for the servant to be on a level with his master. If they have called the master of the house Baal-zebul, how much more will they slander his servants?

wmth@Matthew:11:17 @ »`We have played the flute to you,' they say, `and you have not danced: we have sung dirges, and you have not beaten your breasts.'«

wmth@Matthew:11:18 @ »For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, `He has a demon.'

wmth@Matthew:11:19 @ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they exclaim, `See this man! –given to gluttony and tippling, and a friend of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners!' And yet Wisdom is vindicated by her actions.«

wmth@Matthew:11:20 @ Then began He to upbraid the towns where most of His mighty works had been done–because they had not repented.

wmth@Matthew:11:21 @ »Alas for thee, Chorazin!« He cried. »Alas for thee, Bethsaida! For had the mighty works been done in Tyre and Sidon which have been done in both of you, they would long ere now have repented, covered with sackcloth and ashes.

wmth@Matthew:12:10 @ where there was a man with a shrivelled arm. And they questioned Him, »Is it right to cure people on the Sabbath?« Their intention was to bring a charge against Him.

wmth@Matthew:12:14 @ But the Pharisees after leaving the synagogue consulted together against Him, how they might destroy Him.

wmth@Matthew:12:27 @ And if it is by Baal-zebul's power that I expel the demons, by whose power do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall be your judges.

wmth@Matthew:12:31 @ This is why I tell you that men may find forgiveness for every other sin and impious word, but that for impious speaking against the Holy Spirit they shall find no forgiveness.

wmth@Matthew:12:36 @ But I tell you that for every careless word that men shall speak they will be held accountable on the day of Judgement.

wmth@Matthew:12:39 @ »Wicked and faithless generation!« He replied, »they clamour for a sign, but none shall be given to them except the sign of the Prophet Jonah.

wmth@Matthew:12:41 @ There will stand up men of Nineveh at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and mark! there is One greater than Jonah here.

wmth@Matthew:12:45 @ Then he goes and brings back with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they come in and dwell there; and in the end that man's condition becomes worse than it was at first. So will it be also with the present wicked generation.«

wmth@Matthew:13:13 @ I speak to them in figurative language for this reason, that while looking they do not see, and while hearing they neither hear nor understand.

wmth@Matthew:13:16 @ »But as for you, blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.«

wmth@Matthew:13:41 @ The Son of Man will commission His angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all causes of sin and all who violate His laws;

wmth@Matthew:13:42 @ and these they will throw into the fiery furnace. There will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.

wmth@Matthew:13:48 @ When full, they haul it up on the beach, and sit down and collect the good fish in baskets, while the worthless they throw away.

wmth@Matthew:13:51 @ »Have you understood all this?« He asked. »Yes,« they said.

wmth@Matthew:13:54 @ And He came into His own country and proceeded to teach in their synagogue, so that they were filled with astonishment and exclaimed, »Where did he obtain such wisdom, and these wondrous powers?

wmth@Matthew:13:56 @ And his sisters–are they not all living here among us? Where then did he get all this?«

wmth@Matthew:13:57 @ So they turned angrily away from Him. But Jesus said to them, »There is no prophet left without honour except in his own country and among his own family.«

wmth@Matthew:14:5 @ And he would have liked to put him to death, but was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a Prophet.

wmth@Matthew:14:16 @ »They need not go away,« replied Jesus; »you yourselves must give them something to eat.«

wmth@Matthew:14:17 @ »We have nothing here,« they said, »but five loaves and a couple of fish.«

wmth@Matthew:14:20 @ So all ate, and were fully satisfied. The broken portions that remained over they gathered up, filling twelve baskets.

wmth@Matthew:14:26 @ When the disciples saw Him walking on the waves, they were greatly alarmed. »It is a spirit,« they exclaimed, and they cried out with terror.

wmth@Matthew:14:32 @ So they climbed into the boat, and the wind lulled;

wmth@Matthew:14:34 @ When they had quite crossed over, they put ashore at Gennesaret;

wmth@Matthew:14:35 @ and the men of the place, recognizing Him, sent word into all the country round. So they brought all the sick to Him,

wmth@Matthew:14:36 @ and they entreated Him that they might but touch the tassel of His outer garment; and all who did so were restored to perfect health.

wmth@Matthew:15:12 @ Then His disciples came and said to Him, »Do you know that the Pharisees were greatly shocked when they heard those words?«

wmth@Matthew:15:14 @ Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind; and if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into some pit.«

wmth@Matthew:15:30 @ Soon great crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were crippled in feet or hands, blind or dumb, and many besides, and they hastened to lay them at His feet. And He cured them,

wmth@Matthew:15:31 @ so that the people were amazed to see the dumb speaking, the maimed with their hands perfect, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they gave the glory to the God of Israel.

wmth@Matthew:15:32 @ But Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, »My heart yearns over this mass of people, for it is now the third day that they have been with me and they have nothing to eat. I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they should faint on the road.«

wmth@Matthew:15:34 @ »How many loaves have you?« Jesus asked. »Seven,« they said, »and a few small fish.«

wmth@Matthew:15:36 @ and He took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks He broke them up and then distributed them to the disciples, and they to the people.

wmth@Matthew:15:37 @ And they all ate and were satisfied. The broken portions that remained over they took up–seven full hampers.

wmth@Matthew:16:1 @ Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came to Him; and, to make trial of Him, they asked Him to show them a sign in the sky.

wmth@Matthew:16:5 @ When the disciples arrived at the other side of the Lake, they found that they had forgotten to bring any bread;

wmth@Matthew:16:7 @ they reasoned among themselves, saying, »It is because we have not brought any bread.«

wmth@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they perceived that He had not warned them against bread-yeast, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

wmth@Matthew:16:14 @ »Some say John the Baptist,« they replied; »others Elijah; others Jeremiah or one of the Prophets.«

wmth@Matthew:16:28 @ I solemnly tell you that some of those who are standing here will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom.«

wmth@Matthew:17:8 @ So they looked up, and saw no one but Jesus.

wmth@Matthew:17:9 @ As they were descending the mountain, Jesus laid a command upon them. »Tell no one,« He said, »of the sight you have seen till the Son of Man has risen from among the dead.«

wmth@Matthew:17:12 @ But I tell you that he has already come, and they did not recognize him, but dealt with him as they chose. And before long the Son of Man will be treated by them in a similar way.«

wmth@Matthew:17:14 @ When they had returned to the people, there came to Him a man who fell on his knees before Him and besought Him.

wmth@Matthew:17:16 @ I have brought him to your disciples, and they have not been able to cure him.«

wmth@Matthew:17:22 @ As they were travelling about in Galilee, Jesus said to them, »The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men;

wmth@Matthew:17:23 @ they will put Him to death, but on the third day He will be raised to life again.« And they were exceedingly distressed.

wmth@Matthew:18:7 @ »Alas for the world because of causes of falling! They cannot but come, but alas for each man through whom they come!«

wmth@Matthew:18:19 @ I also solemnly tell you that if two of you here on earth agree together concerning anything whatever that they shall ask, the boon will come to them from my Father who is in Heaven.

wmth@Matthew:18:31 @ His fellow servants, therefore, seeing what had happened, were exceedingly angry; and they came and told their master without reserve all that had happened.

wmth@Matthew:19:6 @ Thus they are no longer two, but `one'! What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.«

wmth@Matthew:19:7 @ »Why then,« said they, »did Moses command the husband to give her `a written notice of divorce,' and so put her away?«

wmth@Matthew:19:25 @ These words utterly amazed the disciples, and they asked, »Who then can be saved?«

wmth@Matthew:20:5 @ »So they went. Again about twelve, and about three o'clock, he went out and did the same.«

wmth@Matthew:20:7 @ `Because no one has hired us,' they replied. »`You also, go into the vineyard,' he said.

wmth@Matthew:20:9 @ »When those came who had begun at five o'clock, they received a shilling apiece;«

wmth@Matthew:20:10 @ and when the first came, they expected to get more, but they also each got the shilling.

wmth@Matthew:20:11 @ So when they had received it, they grumbled against the employer, saying,

wmth@Matthew:20:18 @ »We are going up to Jerusalem, and there the Son of Man will be betrayed to the High Priests and Scribes. They will condemn Him to death,«

wmth@Matthew:20:22 @ »None of you know what you are asking for,« said Jesus; »can you drink out of the cup from which I am about to drink?«»We can,« they replied.

wmth@Matthew:20:29 @ As they were leaving Jericho, an immense crowd following Him,

wmth@Matthew:20:31 @ The people angrily tried to silence them, but they cried all the louder. »O Sir, Son of David, pity us,« they said.

wmth@Matthew:20:33 @ »Sir, let our eyes be opened,« they replied.

wmth@Matthew:20:34 @ Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.

wmth@Matthew:21:1 @ When they were come near Jerusalem and had arrived at Bethphage and the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of the disciples on in front,

wmth@Matthew:21:7 @ they brought the she-ass and the foal, and threw their outer garments on them. So He sat on them;

wmth@Matthew:21:15 @ But when the High Priests and the Scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done and the children who were crying aloud in the Temple, they were filled with indignation.

wmth@Matthew:21:16 @ »Do you hear,« they asked Him, »what these children are saying?«»Yes,« He replied; »have you never read,

wmth@Matthew:21:20 @ When the disciples saw it they exclaimed in astonishment, »How instantaneously the fig-tree has withered away!«

wmth@Matthew:21:25 @ John's Baptism, whence was it? –had it a heavenly or a human origin?« So they debated the matter among themselves. »If we say `a heavenly origin,'« they argued, »he will say, `Why then did you not believe him?'

wmth@Matthew:21:26 @ and if we say `a human origin' we have the people to fear, for they all hold John to have been a Prophet.«

wmth@Matthew:21:27 @ So they answered Jesus, »We do not know.« »Nor do I tell you,« He replied, »by what authority I do these things.«

wmth@Matthew:21:31 @ Which of the two did as his father desired?« »The first,« they said. `I solemnly tell you,' replied Jesus, «that the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners are entering the Kingdom of God in front of you.

wmth@Matthew:21:35 @ but the vine-dressers seized the servants, and one they cruelly beat, one they killed, one they pelted with stones.

wmth@Matthew:21:36 @ Again he sent another party of servants more numerous than the first; and these they treated in the same manner.

wmth@Matthew:21:37 @ Later still he sent to them his son, saying, »`They will respect my son.'

wmth@Matthew:21:38 @ »But the vine-dressers, when they saw the son, said to one another,« `Here is the heir: come, let us kill him and get his inheritance.'

wmth@Matthew:21:39 @ »So they seized him, dragged him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

wmth@Matthew:21:46 @ but though they were eager to lay hands upon Him, they were afraid of the people, for by them He was regarded as a Prophet.

wmth@Matthew:22:3 @ and sent his servants to call the invited guests to the wedding, but they were unwilling to come.

wmth@Matthew:22:5 @ »They however gave no heed, but went, one to his home in the country, another to his business;«

wmth@Matthew:22:10 @ »So they went out into the roads and gathered together all they could find, both bad and good, and the banqueting hall was filled with guests.«

wmth@Matthew:22:15 @ Then the Pharisees went and consulted together how they might entrap Him in His conversation.

wmth@Matthew:22:16 @ So they sent to Him their disciples together with the Herodians; who said, »Teacher, we know that you are truthful and that you faithfully teach God's truth; and that no fear of man misleads you, for you are not biased by men's wealth or rank.

wmth@Matthew:22:19 @ Show me the tribute coin.« And they brought Him a shilling.

wmth@Matthew:22:21 @ »Caesar's,« they replied. »Pay therefore,« He rejoined, »what is Caesar's to Caesar; and what is God's to God.«

wmth@Matthew:22:22 @ They heard this, and were astonished; then left Him, and went their way.

wmth@Matthew:22:23 @ On the same day a party of Sadducees came to Him, contending that there is no resurrection. And they put this case to Him.

wmth@Matthew:22:24 @ »Teacher,« they said, »Moses enjoined,

wmth@Matthew:22:28 @ At the Resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? for they all married her.«

wmth@Matthew:22:30 @ For in the Resurrection, men neither marry nor are women given in marriage, but they are like angels in Heaven.

wmth@Matthew:22:34 @ Now the Pharisees came up when they heard that He had silenced the Sadducees,

wmth@Matthew:22:42 @ »What think you about the Christ,« He said, »whose son is He?«»David's,« they replied.

wmth@Matthew:23:3 @ Therefore do and observe everything that they command you; but do not imitate their lives, for though they tell others what to do, they do not do it themselves.

wmth@Matthew:23:4 @ Heavy and cumbrous burdens they bind together and load men's shoulders with them, while as for themselves, not with one finger do they choose to lift them.

wmth@Matthew:23:5 @ And everything they do they do with a view to being observed by men; for they widen their phylacteries and make the tassels large,

wmth@Matthew:23:25 @ »Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you wash clean the outside of the cup or dish, while within they are full of greed and self-indulgence.«

wmth@Matthew:23:27 @ »Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you are just like whitewashed sepulchres, the outside of which pleases the eye, though inside they are full of dead men's bones and of all that is unclean.«

wmth@Matthew:24:5 @ »for many will come assuming my name and saying `I am the Christ;' and they will mislead many.«

wmth@Matthew:24:9 @ »At that time they will deliver you up to punishment and will put you to death; and you will be objects of hatred to all the nations because you are called by my name.«

wmth@Matthew:24:10 @ Then and they will betray one another and hate one another.

wmth@Matthew:24:26 @ If therefore they should say to you, `See, He is in the Desert!' do not go out there: or `See, He is indoors in the room!' do not believe it.

wmth@Matthew:24:30 @ Then will appear the Sign of the Son of Man in the sky; and when they see the Son of Man with great power and glory.

wmth@Matthew:24:39 @ nor did they realise any danger till the Deluge came and swept them all away; so will it be at the Coming of the Son of Man.

wmth@Matthew:25:3 @ For the foolish, when they took their torches, did not provide themselves with oil;

wmth@Matthew:25:5 @ The bridegroom was a long time in coming, so that meanwhile they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

wmth@Matthew:25:10 @ »So they went to buy. But meanwhile the bridegroom came; those bridesmaids who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet; and the door was shut.«

wmth@Matthew:25:44 @ »Then will they also answer,« `Lord, when did we see Thee hungry or thirsty or homeless or ill-clad or sick or in prison, and not come to serve Thee?'

wmth@Matthew:26:5 @ But they said, »Not during the Festival, lest there be a riot among the people.«

wmth@Matthew:26:15 @ and said, »What are you willing to give me if I betray him to you?« So they weighed out to him thirty shekels,

wmth@Matthew:26:22 @ Intensely grieved they began one after another to ask Him, »Can it be I, Master?«

wmth@Matthew:26:30 @ So they sang the hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.

wmth@Matthew:26:43 @ He came and again found them asleep, for they were very tired.

wmth@Matthew:26:50 @ »Friend,« said Jesus, »carry out your intention.« Then they came and laid their hands on Jesus and seized Him firmly.

wmth@Matthew:26:60 @ but they could find none, although many false witnesses came forward. At length there came two

wmth@Matthew:26:66 @ What is your verdict? »He deserves to die,« they replied.

wmth@Matthew:26:67 @ Then they spat in His face, and struck Him –some with the fist, some with the open hand–

wmth@Matthew:26:68 @ while they taunted Him, saying, »Christ, prove yourself a Prophet by telling us who it was that struck you.«

wmth@Matthew:27:2 @ and binding Him they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate the Governor.

wmth@Matthew:27:4 @ and said, »I have sinned, in betraying to death one who is innocent.« »What does that matter to us?« they replied; »it is your business.«

wmth@Matthew:27:6 @ When the High Priests had gathered up the money they said, »It is illegal to put it into the Treasury, because it is the price of blood.«

wmth@Matthew:27:7 @ So after consulting together they spent the money in the purchase of the Potter's Field as a burial place for people not belonging to the city;

wmth@Matthew:27:13 @ »Do you not hear,« asked Pilate, »what a mass of evidence they are bringing against you?«

wmth@Matthew:27:16 @ and at this time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.«

wmth@Matthew:27:17 @ So when they were now assembled Pilate appealed to them. »Whom shall I release to you,« he said, »Barabbas, or Jesus the so-called Christ?«

wmth@Matthew:27:21 @ So when the Governor a second time asked them, »Which of the two shall I release to you?« –they cried, »Barabbas!«

wmth@Matthew:27:22 @ »What then,« said Pilate, »shall I do with Jesus, the so-called Christ?« With one voice they shouted, »Let him be crucified!«

wmth@Matthew:27:23 @ »Why, what crime has he committed?« asked Pilate. But they kept on furiously shouting, »Let him be crucified!«

wmth@Matthew:27:28 @ Stripping off His garments, they put on Him a general's short crimson cloak.

wmth@Matthew:27:29 @ They twisted a wreath of thorny twigs and put it on His head, and they put a sceptre of cane in His right hand, and kneeling to Him they shouted in mockery, »Long live the King of the Jews!«

wmth@Matthew:27:30 @ Then they spat upon Him, and taking the cane they repeatedly struck Him on the head with it.

wmth@Matthew:27:31 @ At last, having finished their sport, they took off the cloak, clothed Him again in His own garments, and led Him away for crucifixion.

wmth@Matthew:27:32 @ Going out they met a Cyrenaean named Simon; whom they compelled to carry His cross,

wmth@Matthew:27:33 @ and so they came to a place called Golgotha, which means `Skull-ground.'

wmth@Matthew:27:34 @ Here they gave Him a mixture of wine and gall to drink, but having tasted it He refused to drink it.

wmth@Matthew:27:35 @ After crucifying Him, they divided His garments among them by lot,

wmth@Matthew:27:37 @ Over His head they placed a written statement of the charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

wmth@Matthew:27:39 @ And the passers-by reviled Him. They shook their heads at Him

wmth@Matthew:27:42 @ »He saved others,« they said, »himself he cannot save! He is the King of Israel! Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in him.

wmth@Matthew:27:53 @ And coming out of their tombs after Christ's resurrection they entered the holy city and showed themselves to many.

wmth@Matthew:27:54 @ As for the Captain and the soldiers who were with Him keeping guard over Jesus, when they witnessed the earthquake and the other occurrences they were filled with terror, and exclaimed, »Assuredly he was God's Son.«

wmth@Matthew:27:63 @ »Sir,« they said, »we recollect that during his lifetime that impostor pretended that after two days he was to rise to life again.

wmth@Matthew:27:66 @ So they went and made the sepulchre secure, sealing the stone besides setting the guard.

wmth@Matthew:28:8 @ They quickly left the tomb and ran, still terrified but full of unspeakable joy, to carry the news to His disciples.

wmth@Matthew:28:9 @ And then suddenly they saw Jesus coming to meet them. »Peace be to you,« He said. And they came and clasped His feet, bowing to the ground before Him.

wmth@Matthew:28:10 @ Then He said, »Dismiss all fear! Go and take word to my brethren to go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.«

wmth@Matthew:28:11 @ While they went on this errand, some of the guards came into the city and reported to the High Priests every detail of what had happened.

wmth@Matthew:28:12 @ So the latter held a conference with the Elders, and after consultation with them they heavily bribed the soldiers,

wmth@Matthew:28:14 @ »And if this,« they added, »is reported to the Governor, we will satisfy him and screen you from punishment.«

wmth@Matthew:28:15 @ So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this story was noised about among the Jews, and is current to this day.

wmth@Matthew:28:16 @ As for the eleven disciples, they proceeded into Galilee, to the hill where Jesus had arranged to meet them.

wmth@Matthew:28:17 @ There they saw Him and prostrated themselves before Him. Yet some doubted.

wmth@Mark:1:16 @ One day, passing along the shore of the Lake of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, throwing their nets in the Lake; for they were fisherman.

wmth@Mark:1:18 @ At once they left their nets and followed Him.

wmth@Mark:1:19 @ Going on a little further He saw James the son of Zabdi and his brother John: they also were in the boat mending the nets, and He immediately called them.

wmth@Mark:1:20 @ They therefore left their father Zabdi in the boat with the hired men, and went and followed Him.

wmth@Mark:1:21 @ So they came to Capernaum, and on the next Sabbath He went to the synagogue and began to teach.

wmth@Mark:1:27 @ And all were amazed and awe-struck, so they began to ask one another, »What does this mean? Here is a new sort of teaching–and a tone of authority! And even to foul spirits he issues orders and they obey him!«

wmth@Mark:1:29 @ Then on leaving the synagogue they came at once, with James and John, to the house of Simon and Andrew.

wmth@Mark:1:30 @ Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill in bed with a fever, and without delay they informed Him about her.

wmth@Mark:1:34 @ Then He cured numbers of people who were ill with various diseases, and He drove out many demons; not allowing the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.

wmth@Mark:1:37 @ When they found Him they said, »Every one is looking for you.«

wmth@Mark:2:4 @ Finding themselves unable, however, to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they untiled the roof just over His head, and after clearing an opening they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying.

wmth@Mark:2:7 @ »Why does this man use such words?« they said; »he is blaspheming. Who can pardon sins but One–that is, God?«

wmth@Mark:2:8 @ At once perceiving by His spirit that they were reasoning within themselves, Jesus asked them, »Why do you thus argue in your minds?

wmth@Mark:2:12 @ The man rose, and immediately under the eyes of all took up his mat and went out, so that they were all filled with astonishment, gave the glory to God, and said, »We never saw anything like this.«

wmth@Mark:2:16 @ But when the Scribes of the Pharisee sect saw Him eating with the sinners and the tax-gatherers, they said to His disciples, »He is eating and drinking with the tax-gatherers and sinners!«

wmth@Mark:2:18 @ (Now John's disciples and those of the Pharisees were keeping a fast.) And they came and asked Him, »How is it that John's disciples and those of the Pharisees are fasting, and yours are not?«

wmth@Mark:2:19 @ »Can a wedding party fast while the bridegroom is among them?« replied Jesus. »So long as they have the bridegroom with them, fasting is impossible.

wmth@Mark:2:20 @ But a time will come when the Bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast.

wmth@Mark:2:23 @ One Sabbath He was walking through the wheatfields when His disciples began to pluck the ears of wheat as they went.

wmth@Mark:2:24 @ So the Pharisees said to Him, »Look! why are they doing what on the Sabbath is unlawful?«

wmth@Mark:3:2 @ They closely watched Him to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath–so as to have a charge to bring against Him.

wmth@Mark:3:4 @ Then He asked them, »Are we allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil? to save a life, or to destroy one?« They remained silent.

wmth@Mark:3:6 @ But no sooner had the Pharisees left the synagogue than they held a consultation with the Herodians against Jesus, to devise some means of destroying Him.

wmth@Mark:3:11 @ And the foul spirits, whenever they saw Him, threw themselves down at His feet, screaming out:»You are the Son of God.«

wmth@Mark:3:13 @ Then He went up the hill; and those whom He Himself chose He called, and they came to Him.

wmth@Mark:3:14 @ He appointed twelve of them, that they might be with Him, and that He might also send them to proclaim His Message,

wmth@Mark:3:21 @ Hearing of this, His relatives came to seize Him by force, for they said, »He is out of his mind.«

wmth@Mark:3:28 @ In solemn truth I tell you that all their sins may be pardoned to the sons of men, and all their blasphemies, however they may have blasphemed;

wmth@Mark:3:30 @ This was because they said, »He is possessed by a foul spirit.«

wmth@Mark:3:31 @ By this time His mother and His brothers arrive, and standing outside they send a message to Him to call Him.

wmth@Mark:3:32 @ Now a crowd was sitting round Him; so they tell Him, »Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, inquiring for you.«

wmth@Mark:4:15 @ Those who receive the seed by the way-side are those in whom the Message is sown, but, when they have heard it, Satan comes at once and carries away the Message sown in them.

wmth@Mark:4:16 @ In the same way those who receive the seed on the rocky places are those who, when they have heard the Message, at once accept it joyfully,

wmth@Mark:4:17 @ but they have no root within them. They last for a time; then, when suffering or persecution comes because of the Message, they are immediately overthrown.

wmth@Mark:4:18 @ Others there are who receive the seed among the thorns: these are they who have heard the Message,

wmth@Mark:4:25 @ For those who have will have more given them; and from those who have not, even what they have will be taken away.«

wmth@Mark:4:36 @ So they got away from the crowd, and took Him –as He was– in the boat; and other boats accompanied Him.

wmth@Mark:4:38 @ But He Himself was in the stern asleep, with His head on the cushion: so they woke Him. »Rabbi,« they cried, »is it nothing to you that we are drowning?«

wmth@Mark:4:41 @ Then they were filled with terror, and began to say to one another, »Who is this, then? For even wind and sea obey Him.«

wmth@Mark:5:1 @ So they arrived at the opposite shore of the Lake, in the country of the Gerasenes.

wmth@Mark:5:12 @ So they besought Jesus. »Send us to the swine,« they said, »so that we may enter into them.«

wmth@Mark:5:15 @ and when they came to Jesus, they beheld the demoniac quietly seated, clothed and of sane mind– the man who had had the legion; and they were awe-stricken.

wmth@Mark:5:17 @ Then they began entreating Him to depart from their district.

wmth@Mark:5:38 @ So they come to the Warden's house. Here He gazes on a scene of uproar, with people weeping aloud and wailing.

wmth@Mark:5:42 @ Instantly the little girl rises to her feet and begins to walk (for she was twelve years old). They were at once beside themselves with utter astonishment;

wmth@Mark:6:2 @ On the Sabbath He proceeded to teach in the synagogue; and many, as they heard Him, were astonished. »Where did he acquire all this?« they asked. »What is this wisdom that has been given to him? And what are these marvellous miracles which his hands perform?

wmth@Mark:6:3 @ Is not this the carpenter, Mary's son, the brother of James and Joses, Jude and Simon? And do not his sisters live here among us?« So they turned angrily away.

wmth@Mark:6:11 @ But wherever they will not receive you or listen to you, when you leave shake off the very dust from under your feet to bear witness concerning them.«

wmth@Mark:6:12 @ So they set out, and preached in order that men might repent.

wmth@Mark:6:13 @ Many demons they expelled, and many invalids they anointed with oil and cured.

wmth@Mark:6:29 @ When John's disciples heard of it, they came and took away his body and laid it in a tomb.

wmth@Mark:6:30 @ When the Apostles had re-assembled round Jesus, they reported to Him all they had done and all they had taught.

wmth@Mark:6:31 @ Then He said to them, »Come away, all of you, to a quiet place, and rest awhile.« For there were many coming and going, so that they had no time even for meals.

wmth@Mark:6:32 @ Accordingly they sailed away in the boat to a solitary place apart.

wmth@Mark:6:33 @ But the people saw them going, and many knew them; and coming by land they ran together there from all the neighbouring towns, and arrived before them.

wmth@Mark:6:34 @ So when Jesus landed, He saw a vast multitude; and His heart was moved with pity for them, because they were like sheep which have no shepherd, and He proceeded to teach them many things.

wmth@Mark:6:36 @ send them away that they may go to the farms and villages near here and buy themselves something to eat.«

wmth@Mark:6:37 @ »Give them food yourselves,« He replied. »Are we,« they asked, `to go and buy two hundred shillings' worth of bread and give them food?«

wmth@Mark:6:38 @ »How many loaves have you?« He inquired; »go and see.« So they found out, and said, »Five; and a couple of fish.«

wmth@Mark:6:40 @ And they sat down in rows of hundreds and of fifties.

wmth@Mark:6:43 @ And they carried away broken portions enough to fill twelve baskets, besides pieces of the fish.

wmth@Mark:6:49 @ They saw Him walking on the water, and thinking that it was a spirit they cried out;

wmth@Mark:6:50 @ for they all saw Him and were terrified. He, however, immediately spoke to them. »There is no danger,« He said; »it is I; be not alarmed.«

wmth@Mark:6:51 @ Then He went up to them on board the boat, and the wind lulled; and they were beside themselves with silent amazement.

wmth@Mark:6:52 @ For they had not learned the lesson taught by the loaves, but their minds were dull.

wmth@Mark:6:53 @ Having crossed over they drew to land in Gennesaret and came to anchor.

wmth@Mark:6:54 @ But no sooner had they gone ashore than the people immediately recognized Him.

wmth@Mark:6:55 @ Then they scoured the whole district, and began to bring Him the sick on their mats wherever they heard He was.

wmth@Mark:6:56 @ And enter wherever He might –village or town or hamlet– they laid their sick in the open places, and entreated Him to let them touch were it but the tassel of His robe; and all, whoever touched Him, were restored to health.

wmth@Mark:7:2 @ They had noticed that some of His disciples were eating their food with `unclean' (that is to say, unwashed) hands.

wmth@Mark:7:3 @ (For the Pharisees and all the Jews– being, as they are, zealous for the traditions of the Elders– never eat without first carefully washing their hands,

wmth@Mark:7:4 @ and when they come from market they will not eat without bathing first; and they have a good many other customs which they have received traditionally and cling to, such as the rinsing of cups and pots and of bronze utensils, and the washing of beds.)

wmth@Mark:7:27 @ »Let the children first eat all they want,« He said; »it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.«

wmth@Mark:7:32 @ Here they brought to Him a deaf man that stammered, on whom they begged Him to lay His hands.

wmth@Mark:7:36 @ Then Jesus charged them to tell no one; but the more He charged them, all the more did they spread the news far and wide.

wmth@Mark:7:37 @ The amazement was extreme. »He succeeds in everything he attempts,« they exclaimed; »he even makes deaf men hear and dumb men speak!«

wmth@Mark:8:1 @ About that time there was again an immense crowd, and they found themselves with nothing to eat. So He called His disciples to Him.

wmth@Mark:8:2 @ »My heart yearns over the people,« He said; »for this is now the third day they have remained with me, and they have nothing to eat.

wmth@Mark:8:3 @ If I were to send them home hungry, they would faint on the way, some of them having come a great distance.«

wmth@Mark:8:5 @ »How many loaves have you?« He asked. »Seven,« they said.

wmth@Mark:8:6 @ So He passed the word to the people to sit down on the ground. Then taking the seven loaves He blessed them, and broke them into portions and proceeded to give them to His disciples for them to distribute, and they distributed them to the people.

wmth@Mark:8:7 @ They had also a few small fish. He blessed them, and He told His disciples to distribute these also.

wmth@Mark:8:8 @ So the people ate an abundant meal; and what remained over they picked up and carried away–seven hampers of broken pieces.

wmth@Mark:8:14 @ Now they had forgotten to take bread, nor had they more than a single loaf with them in the boat;

wmth@Mark:8:16 @ they explained His words to one another by saying, »We have no bread!«

wmth@Mark:8:17 @ He perceived what they were saying, and He said to them, »What is this discussion of yours about having no bread? Do you not yet see and understand? Are your minds so dull of comprehension?

wmth@Mark:8:19 @ When I broke up the five loaves for the 5,000 men, how many baskets did you carry away full of broken portions? »Twelve,« they said.

wmth@Mark:8:20 @ »And when the seven for the 4,000, how many hampers full of portions did you take away?« »Seven,« they answered.

wmth@Mark:8:22 @ And they came to Bethsaida. And a blind man was brought to Jesus and they entreated Him to touch him.

wmth@Mark:8:28 @ »John the Baptist,« they replied, »but others say Elijah, and others, that it is one of the Prophets.«

wmth@Mark:9:1 @ He went on to say, »In solemn truth I tell you that some of those who are standing here will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God already come in power.«

wmth@Mark:9:6 @ For he knew not what to say: they were filled with such awe.

wmth@Mark:9:8 @ Instantly they looked round, and now they could no longer see any one, but themselves and Jesus.

wmth@Mark:9:9 @ As they were coming down from the mountain, He very strictly forbad them to tell any one what they had seen »until after the Son of Man has risen from among the dead.«

wmth@Mark:9:10 @ So they kept the matter to themselves, although frequently asking one another what was meant by the rising from the dead.

wmth@Mark:9:11 @ They also asked Him, »How is it that the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?«

wmth@Mark:9:13 @ Yet I tell you that not only has Elijah come, but they have also done to him whatever they chose, as the Scriptures say about him.«

wmth@Mark:9:14 @ As they came to rejoin the disciples, they saw an immense crowd surrounding them and a party of Scribes disputing with them.

wmth@Mark:9:15 @ Immediately the whole multitude on beholding Him were astonished and awe-struck, and yet they ran forward and greeted Him.

wmth@Mark:9:18 @ and wherever it comes upon him, it dashes him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth, and he is pining away. I begged your disciples to expel it, but they had not the power.«

wmth@Mark:9:20 @ So they brought him to Jesus. And the spirit, when he saw Jesus, immediately threw the youth into convulsions, so that he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

wmth@Mark:9:30 @ Departing thence they passed through Galilee, and He was unwilling that any one should know it;

wmth@Mark:9:31 @ for He was teaching His disciples, and telling them, »The Son of Man is to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and after being put to death, in three days He will rise to life again.«

wmth@Mark:9:32 @ They, however, did not understand what He meant, and were afraid to question Him.

wmth@Mark:9:33 @ So they came to Capernaum; and when in the house He asked them, »What were you arguing about on the way?«

wmth@Mark:9:34 @ But they remained silent; for on the way they had debated with one another who was the chief of them.

wmth@Mark:10:4 @ »Moses,« they said, »permitted a man to draw up a written notice of divorce, and to send his wife away.«

wmth@Mark:10:8 @ so that they are two no longer, but

wmth@Mark:10:26 @ They were astonished beyond measure, and said to one another, »Who then be saved?«

wmth@Mark:10:32 @ They were still on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; they were full of wonder, and some, though they followed, did so with fear. Then, once more calling to Him the Twelve, He began to tell them what was about to happen to Him.

wmth@Mark:10:33 @ »See,« He said, »we are going up to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man will be betrayed to the High Priests and the Scribes. They will condemn Him to death, and will hand Him over to the Gentiles;

wmth@Mark:10:34 @ they will insult Him in cruel sport, spit on Him, scourge Him, and put Him to death; but on the third day He will rise to life again.«

wmth@Mark:10:37 @ »Allow us,« they replied, »to sit one at your right hand and the other at your left hand, in your glory.«

wmth@Mark:10:39 @ »We are able,« they replied. »Out of the cup,« said Jesus, »from which I am to drink you shall drink, and with the baptism with which I am to be baptized you shall be baptized;

wmth@Mark:10:46 @ They came to Jericho; and as He was leaving that town –Himself and His disciples and a great crowd– Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind beggar, was sitting by the way-side.

wmth@Mark:10:49 @ Then Jesus stood still. »Call him,« He said. So they called the blind man. »Cheer up,« they said; »rise, he is calling you.«

wmth@Mark:11:1 @ When they were getting near Jerusalem and had arrived at Bethphage and Bethany, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples on in front, with these instructions.

wmth@Mark:11:4 @ So they went and found a young ass tied up at the front door of a house. They were untying it,

wmth@Mark:11:6 @ But on their giving the answer that Jesus had bidden them give, they let them take it.

wmth@Mark:11:7 @ So they brought the foal to Jesus, and threw their outer garments over him; and Jesus mounted.

wmth@Mark:11:8 @ Then many spread their outer garments to carpet the road, and others leafy branches which they had cut down in the fields;

wmth@Mark:11:12 @ The next day, after they had left Bethany, He was hungry.

wmth@Mark:11:15 @ They reached Jerusalem, and entering the Temple He began to drive out the buyers and sellers, and upset the money-changers' tables and the stools of the pigeon-dealers,

wmth@Mark:11:18 @ This the High Priests and Scribes heard, and they began to devise means to destroy Him. For they were afraid of Him, because of the deep impression produced on all the people by His teaching.

wmth@Mark:11:20 @ In the early morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig-tree withered to the roots;

wmth@Mark:11:27 @ They came again to Jerusalem; and as He was walking in the Temple, the High Priests, Scribes and Elders came to Him

wmth@Mark:11:31 @ So they debated the matter with one another. »Suppose we say, `Heavenly,'« they argued, »he will ask, `Why then did you not believe him?'

wmth@Mark:11:32 @ Or should we say, `human?'« They were afraid of the people; for all agreed in holding John to have been really a Prophet.

wmth@Mark:11:33 @ So they answered Jesus, »We do not know.«»Nor do I tell you,« said Jesus, »by what authority I do these things.«

wmth@Mark:12:3 @ But they seized him, beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.

wmth@Mark:12:4 @ Again he sent to them another servant: and as for him, they wounded him in the head and treated him shamefully.

wmth@Mark:12:5 @ Yet a third he sent, and him they killed. And he sent many besides, and them also they ill-treated, beating some and killing others.

wmth@Mark:12:6 @ He had still one left whom he could send, a dearly-loved son: him last of all he sent, saying, »`They will treat my son with respect.'

wmth@Mark:12:8 @ »So they took him and killed him, and flung his body outside the vineyard.«

wmth@Mark:12:9 @ What, therefore, will the owner of the vineyard do?« »He will come and put the vine-dressers to death,« they said; »and will give the vineyard to others.«

wmth@Mark:12:12 @ And they kept looking out for an opportunity to seize Him, but were afraid of the people; for they saw that in this parable He had referred to. So they left Him and went away.

wmth@Mark:12:14 @ So they came to Him. »Rabbi,« they said, »we know that you are a truthful man and you do not fear any one; for you do not recognize human distinctions, but teach God's way truly. Is it allowable to pay poll-tax to Caesar, or not?

wmth@Mark:12:16 @ They brought one; and He asked them, »Whose is this likeness and this inscription?«»Caesar's,« they replied.

wmth@Mark:12:17 @ »What is Caesar's,« replied Jesus, »pay to Caesar–and what is God's, pay to God.« And they wondered exceedingly at Him.

wmth@Mark:12:18 @ Then came to Him a party of Sadducees, a sect which denies that there is any Resurrection; and they proceeded to question Him.

wmth@Mark:12:19 @ »Rabbi,« they said, »Moses made it a law for us:

wmth@Mark:12:23 @ At the Resurrection whose wife will she be? For they all seven married her.«

wmth@Mark:12:25 @ For when they have risen from among the dead, men do not marry and women are not given in marriage, but they are as angels are in Heaven.

wmth@Mark:12:26 @ But as to the dead, that they rise to life, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God said to him,

wmth@Mark:12:44 @ for they have all contributed out of what they could well spare, but she out of her need has thrown in all she possessed–all she had to live on.«

wmth@Mark:13:6 @ Many will come assuming my name and saying, `I am He;' and they will mislead many.

wmth@Mark:13:7 @ But when you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed: come they must, but the End is not yet.

wmth@Mark:13:9 @ »You yourselves must be on your guard. They will deliver you up to Sanhedrins; you will be brought into synagogues and cruelly beaten; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to be witnesses to them for me.«

wmth@Mark:13:11 @ When however they are marching you along under arrest, do not be anxious beforehand about what you are to say, but speak what is given you when the time comes; for it will not be you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

wmth@Mark:13:26 @ And then will they see with great power and glory.

wmth@Mark:14:2 @ But they said, »Not on the Festival-day, for fear there should be a riot among the people.«

wmth@Mark:14:5 @ For that ointment might have been sold for fifteen pounds or more, and the money have been given to the poor.« And they were exceedingly angry with her.

wmth@Mark:14:11 @ They gladly listened to his proposal, and promised to give him a sum of money. So he looked out for an opportunity to betray Him.

wmth@Mark:14:16 @ So the disciples went out and came to the city, and found everything just as He had told them; and they got the Passover ready.

wmth@Mark:14:18 @ And while they were at table Jesus said, »I solemnly tell you that one of you will betray me–one who is eating with me.«

wmth@Mark:14:19 @ They were filled with sorrow, and began asking Him, one by one, »Not I, is it?«

wmth@Mark:14:23 @ Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and handed it to them, and they all of them drank from it.

wmth@Mark:14:26 @ After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

wmth@Mark:14:32 @ So they came to a place called Gethsemane. There He said to His disciples, »Sit down here till I have prayed.«

wmth@Mark:14:40 @ When He returned He again found them asleep, for they were very tired; and they knew not how to answer Him.

wmth@Mark:14:41 @ A third time He came, and then He said, »Sleep on and rest. Enough! the hour has come. Even now they are betraying the Son of Man into the hands of sinful men.

wmth@Mark:14:46 @ whereupon they laid hands on Him and held Him firmly.

wmth@Mark:14:51 @ One youth indeed did follow Him, wearing only a linen cloth round his bare body. Of him they laid hold,

wmth@Mark:14:53 @ So they led Jesus away to the High Priest, and with him there assembled all the High Priests, Elders, and Scribes.

wmth@Mark:14:64 @ You all heard his impious words. What is your judgement?« Then with one voice they condemned Him as deserving of death.

wmth@Mark:14:65 @ Thereupon some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, while striking Him with their fists and crying, »Prove that you are a prophet.« The officers too struck Him with open hands as they took Him in charge.

wmth@Mark:15:1 @ At earliest dawn, after the High Priests had held a consultation with the Elders and Scribes, they and the entire Sanhedrin bound Jesus and took Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.

wmth@Mark:15:4 @ Pilate again and again asked Him, »Do you make no reply? Listen to the many charges they are bringing against you.«

wmth@Mark:15:6 @ Now at the Festival it was customary for Pilate to release to the Jews any one prisoner whom they might beg off from punishment;

wmth@Mark:15:13 @ they once more shouted out, »Crucify Him!«

wmth@Mark:15:14 @ »Why, what crime has he committed?« asked Pilate. But they vehemently shouted, »Crucify Him!«

wmth@Mark:15:17 @ they arrayed Him in crimson, placed on His head a wreath of thorny twigs which they had twisted,

wmth@Mark:15:19 @ Then they began to beat Him on the head with a cane, to spit on Him, and to do Him homage on bended knees.

wmth@Mark:15:20 @ At last, having finished their sport, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.

wmth@Mark:15:21 @ One Simon, a Cyrenaean, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing along, coming from the country: him they compelled to carry His cross.

wmth@Mark:15:22 @ So they brought Him to the place called Golgotha, which, being translated, means `Skull-ground.'

wmth@Mark:15:23 @ Here they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh; but He refused it.

wmth@Mark:15:24 @ Then they crucified Him. This done, they divided His garments among them, drawing lots to decide what each should take.

wmth@Mark:15:25 @ It was nine o'clock in the morning when they crucified Him.

wmth@Mark:15:27 @ And together with Jesus they crucified two robbers, one at His right hand and one at His left.

wmth@Mark:15:29 @ And all the passers-by reviled Him. They shook their heads at Him and said, »Ah! you who were for destroying the Sanctuary and building a new one in three days,

wmth@Mark:16:2 @ So, very soon after sunrise on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb;

wmth@Mark:16:3 @ and they were saying to one another, `Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?«

wmth@Mark:16:4 @ But then, looking up, they saw that the stone was already rolled back: for it was of immense size.

wmth@Mark:16:5 @ Upon entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at their right hand, clothed in a long white robe. They were astonished and terrified.

wmth@Mark:16:6 @ But he said to them, »Do not be terrified. It is Jesus you are looking for–the Nazarene who has been crucified. He has come back to life: He is not here: this is the place where they laid Him.

wmth@Mark:16:8 @ So they came out, and fled from the tomb, for they were greatly agitated and surprised; and they said not a word to any one, for they were afraid.

wmth@Mark:16:10 @ She went and brought the tidings to those who had been with Him, as they were mourning and weeping.

wmth@Mark:16:11 @ But they, when they were told that He was alive and that she had seen Him, could not believe it.

wmth@Mark:16:12 @ Afterwards He showed Himself in another form to two of them as they were walking, on their way into the country.

wmth@Mark:16:13 @ These, again, went and told the news to the rest; but not even them did they believe.

wmth@Mark:16:14 @ Later still He showed Himself to the Eleven themselves whilst they were at table, and He upbraided them with their unbelief and obstinacy in not having believed those who had seen Him alive.

wmth@Mark:16:17 @ And signs shall attend those who believe, even such as these. By making use of my name they shall expel demons. They shall speak new languages.

wmth@Mark:16:18 @ They shall take up venomous snakes, and if they drink any deadly poison it shall do them no harm whatever. They shall lay their hands on the sick, and the sick shall recover.«

wmth@Mark:16:20 @ But they went out and made proclamation everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming their Message by the signs which accompanied it.]

wmth@Luke:1:7 @ But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren; and both of them were far advanced in life.

wmth@Luke:1:22 @ When, however, he came out, he was unable to speak to them; and they knew that he must have seen a vision in the Sanctuary; but he kept making signs to them and continued dumb.

wmth@Luke:1:58 @ and her neighbours and relatives heard how the Lord had had great compassion on her; and they rejoiced with her.

wmth@Luke:1:59 @ And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and were going to call him Zechariah, after his father.

wmth@Luke:1:61 @ »There is not one of your family,« they said, »who has that name.«

wmth@Luke:1:62 @ They asked his father by signs what he wished him to be called.

wmth@Luke:1:63 @ So he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, »His name is John.« And they all wondered.

wmth@Luke:1:66 @ All who heard the story treasured it in their memories. »What then will this child be?« they said. For the lord's hand was indeed with him.

wmth@Luke:2:6 @ But while they were there, her full time came,

wmth@Luke:2:9 @ when suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them; and they were filled with terror.

wmth@Luke:2:16 @ So they made haste and came and found Mary and Joseph, with the babe lying in the manger.

wmth@Luke:2:17 @ And when they saw the child, they told what had been said to them about Him;

wmth@Luke:2:20 @ And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen in accordance with the announcement made to them.

wmth@Luke:2:22 @ And when the days for their purification appointed by the Law of Moses had passed, they took Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord–

wmth@Luke:2:24 @ During the passage He fell asleep, and there came down a squall of wind on the Lake, so that the boat began to fill and they were in deadly peril.

wmth@Luke:2:25 @ And they also offered a sacrifice as commanded in the Law of the Lord,

wmth@Luke:2:40 @ Then, as soon as they had accomplished all that the Law required, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.

wmth@Luke:2:43 @ And when He was twelve years old they went up as was customary at the time of the Feast, and,

wmth@Luke:2:44 @ after staying the full number of days, when they started back home the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not discover this,

wmth@Luke:2:45 @ but supposing Him to be in the travelling company, they proceeded a day's journey. Then they searched up and down for Him among their relatives and acquaintances;

wmth@Luke:2:46 @ but being unable to find Him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for Him.

wmth@Luke:2:47 @ On the third day they found Him in the Temple sitting among the Rabbis, both listening to them and asking them questions,

wmth@Luke:2:49 @ When they saw Him, they were smitten with amazement, and His mother said to Him, »My child, why have you behaved thus to us? Your father and I have been searching for you in anguish.«

wmth@Luke:2:51 @ But they did not understand the significance of these words.

wmth@Luke:3:12 @ There came also a party of tax-gatherers to be baptized, and they asked him, »Rabbi, what are we to do?«

wmth@Luke:4:22 @ And they all spoke well of Him, wondering at the sweet words of kindness which fell from His lips, while they asked one another, »Is not this Joseph's son?«

wmth@Luke:4:29 @ They rose, hurried Him outside the town, and brought Him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, to throw Him down the cliff;

wmth@Luke:4:32 @ And they were greatly impressed by His teaching, because He spoke with the language of authority.

wmth@Luke:4:36 @ All were astonished and awe-struck; and they asked one another, »What sort of language is this? For with authority and real power He gives orders to the foul spirits and they come out.«

wmth@Luke:4:38 @ Now when He rose and left the synagogue He went to Simon's house. Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from an acute attack of fever; and they consulted Him about her.

wmth@Luke:4:41 @ Demons also came out of many, loudly calling out, »You are the Son of God.« But He rebuked them and forbad them to speak, because they knew Him to be the Christ.

wmth@Luke:4:42 @ Next morning, at daybreak, He left the town and went away to a solitary place; but the people flocked out to find Him, and, coming to the place where He was, they endeavoured to detain Him that He might not leave them.

wmth@Luke:5:6 @ This they did, and enclosed a vast number of fish; and their nets began to break.

wmth@Luke:5:7 @ So they signalled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came, and they filled both the boats so that they almost sank.

wmth@Luke:5:9 @ (For he was astonished and terrified –he and all his companions– at the haul of fish which they had taken;

wmth@Luke:5:11 @ Then, after bringing their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him.

wmth@Luke:5:18 @ And a party of men came carrying a palsied man on a bed, and they endeavoured to bring him in and lay him before Jesus.

wmth@Luke:5:19 @ But when they could find no way of doing so because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiling –bed and all– into the midst, in front of Jesus.

wmth@Luke:5:26 @ Amazement seized them all. »Glory to God!« was the abiding feeling. Yet fear flashed through their minds and they said, »We have seen strange things to-day.«

wmth@Luke:5:33 @ Again they said to Him, »John's disciples fast often and pray, as do also those of the pharisees; but yours eat and drink.«

wmth@Luke:5:34 @ »Can you compel the bridal party to fast,« replied Jesus, »so long as they have the bridegroom among them?

wmth@Luke:5:35 @ But a time for this will come, when the Bridegroom has been taken away from them: then, at that time, they will fast.«

wmth@Luke:6:7 @ The Scribes and the Pharisees were on the watch to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath that they might be able to bring an accusation against Him.

wmth@Luke:6:11 @ But they were filled with madness, and began to discuss with one another what they should do to Jesus.

wmth@Luke:6:44 @ Every tree is known by its own fruit. It is not from thorns that men gather figs, nor from the bramble that they can get a bunch of grapes.

wmth@Luke:7:4 @ And they, when they came to Jesus, earnestly entreated Him, pleading, »He deserves to have this favour granted him,

wmth@Luke:7:12 @ And just as He reached the gate of the town, they happened to be bringing out for burial a dead man who was his mother's only son; and she was a widow; and a great number of the townspeople were with her.

wmth@Luke:7:16 @ All were awe-struck, and they gave glory to God–some saying, »A Prophet, a great Prophet, has risen up among us.« Others said, »God has not forgotten His People.«

wmth@Luke:7:29 @ And all the people, including the tax-gatherers, when they listened to him upheld the righteousness of God, by being baptized with John's baptism.

wmth@Luke:7:31 @ »To what then shall I compare the men of the present generation, and what do they resemble?«

wmth@Luke:7:32 @ They are like children sitting in the public square and calling out to one another, `We have played the flute to you, and you have not danced: we have sung dirges, and you have not shown sorrow.'

wmth@Luke:8:10 @ »To you,« He replied, »it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God; but all others are taught by parables, in order that they may see and yet not see, and may hear and yet not understand.

wmth@Luke:8:12 @ Those by the way-side are those who have heard, and then the Devil comes and carries away the Message from their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

wmth@Luke:8:13 @ Those on the rock are the people who on hearing the Message receive it joyfully; but they have no root: for a time they believe, but when trial comes they fall away.

wmth@Luke:8:14 @ That which fell among the thorns means those who have heard, but as they go on their way, the Message is stifled by the anxieties, wealth and gaieties of time, and they yield nothing in perfection.

wmth@Luke:8:22 @ One day He went on board a boat–both He and his disciples; and He said to them, »Let us cross over to the other side of the Lake.« So they set sail.

wmth@Luke:8:24 @ So they came and woke Him, crying, »Rabbi, Rabbi, we are drowning.« Then He roused Himself and rebuked the wind and the surging of the water, and they ceased and there was a calm.

wmth@Luke:8:25 @ »Where is your faith?« He asked them. But they were filled with terror and amazement, and said to one another, »Who then is this? for He gives orders both to wind and waves, and they obey Him.«

wmth@Luke:8:26 @ Then they put in to shore in the country of the Gerasenes, which lies opposite to Galilee.

wmth@Luke:8:29 @ For already He had been commanding the foul spirit to come out of the man. For many a time it had seized and held him, and they had repeatedly put him in chains and fetters and kept guard over him, but he used to break the chains to pieces, and, impelled by the demon, to escape into the Desert.

wmth@Luke:8:31 @ and they besought Him not to command them to be gone into the Bottomless Pit.

wmth@Luke:8:35 @ whereupon the people came out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were terrified.

wmth@Luke:8:40 @ Now when Jesus was returning, the people gave Him a warm welcome; for they had all been looking out for Him.

wmth@Luke:8:53 @ And they jeered at Him, knowing that she was dead.

wmth@Luke:9:5 @ Wherever they refuse to receive you, as you leave that town shake off the very dust from your feet as a protest against them.«

wmth@Luke:9:6 @ So they departed and visited village after village, spreading the Good News and performing cures everywhere.

wmth@Luke:9:10 @ The Apostles, on their return, related to Jesus all they had done. Then He took them and withdrew to a quiet retreat, to a town called Bethsaida.

wmth@Luke:9:12 @ Now when the day began to decline, the Twelve came to Him and said, »Send the people away, that they may go to the villages and farms round about and find lodging and a supply of food; because here we are in an uninhabited district.«

wmth@Luke:9:13 @ »You yourselves,« He said, »must give them food.«»We have nothing,« they replied, »but five loaves and a couple of fish, unless indeed we were to go and buy provisions for all this host of people.«

wmth@Luke:9:15 @ They did so, making them all, without exception, sit down.

wmth@Luke:9:17 @ So they ate and were fully satisfied, all of them; and what they had remaining over was gathered up, twelve baskets of fragments.

wmth@Luke:9:19 @ »John the Baptist,« they replied; »but others say Elijah; and others that some one of the ancient Prophets has come back to life.«

wmth@Luke:9:27 @ I tell you truly that there are some of those who stand here who will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God.«

wmth@Luke:9:31 @ They came in glory, and kept speaking about His death, which He was so soon to undergo in Jerusalem.

wmth@Luke:9:32 @ Now Peter and the others were weighed down with sleep; but, keeping themselves awake all through, they saw His glory, and the two men standing with Him.

wmth@Luke:9:33 @ And when they were preparing to depart from Him, Peter said to Jesus, »Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents–one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.« He did not know what he was saying.

wmth@Luke:9:34 @ But while he was thus speaking, there came a cloud which spread over them; and they were awe-struck when they had entered into the cloud.

wmth@Luke:9:36 @ After this voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They kept it to themselves, and said not a word to any one at that time about what they had seen.

wmth@Luke:9:37 @ On the following day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great crowd came to meet Him;

wmth@Luke:9:40 @ I entreated your disciples to expel the spirit, but they could not.«

wmth@Luke:9:45 @ But they did not understand His meaning: it was veiled from them that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

wmth@Luke:9:52 @ They went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for Him.

wmth@Luke:9:54 @ When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, »Master, do you wish us to order fire to come down from Heaven and consume them?«

wmth@Luke:9:56 @ And they went to another village.

wmth@Luke:9:57 @ And, as they proceeded on their way, a man came to Him and said, »I will follow you wherever you go.«

wmth@Luke:10:8 @ »And whatever town you come to and they receive you, eat what they put before you.«

wmth@Luke:10:10 @ »But whatever town you come to and they will not receive you, go out into the broader streets and say,«

wmth@Luke:10:13 @ »Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! For had the miracles been performed in Tyre and Sidon which have been performed in you, long ere now they would have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.«

wmth@Luke:10:17 @ When the Seventy returned, they exclaimed joyfully, »Master, even the demons submit to us when we utter your name.«

wmth@Luke:10:38 @ As they pursued their journey He came to a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed Him to her house.

wmth@Luke:11:19 @ And if it is by the power of Baal-zebul that I expel the demons, by whom do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall be your judges.

wmth@Luke:11:26 @ Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more malignant than itself, and they enter and dwell there; and in the end that man's condition becomes worse than it was at first.

wmth@Luke:11:28 @ »Nay rather,« He replied, »they are blessed who hear God's Message and carefully keep it.«

wmth@Luke:11:32 @ There will stand up men of Nineveh at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and mark! One greater than Jonah is here.

wmth@Luke:11:48 @ It follows that you bear testimony to the actions of your forefathers and that you fully approve thereof. They slew, you build.

wmth@Luke:11:49 @ »For this reason also the Wisdom of God has said, `I will send Prophets and Apostles to them, of whom they will kill some and persecute others,'«

wmth@Luke:12:1 @ Meanwhile the people had come streaming towards Him by tens of thousands, so that they were trampling one another under foot. And now He proceeded to say to His disciples first, »Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, that is to say, beware of hypocrisy.

wmth@Luke:13:3 @ I tell you, certainly not. On the contrary, if you are not penitent you will all perish as they did.

wmth@Luke:13:4 @ Or those eighteen on whom the tower at Siloam fell, do you suppose they had failed in their duty more than all the rest of the people who live in Jerusalem?

wmth@Luke:13:5 @ I tell you, certainly not. On the contrary, if you do not repent you will all perish just as they did.«

wmth@Luke:13:29 @ They will come from east and west, from north and south, and will sit down at the banquet in the Kingdom of God.

wmth@Luke:14:1 @ One day –it was a Sabbath– He was taking a meal at the house of one of the Rulers of the Pharisee party, while they were closely watching Him.

wmth@Luke:14:4 @ They gave Him no answer; so He took hold of the man, cured him, and sent him away.

wmth@Luke:14:6 @ To this they could make no reply.

wmth@Luke:14:12 @ Also to His host, who had invited Him, He said, »When you give a breakfast or a dinner, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbours, lest perhaps they should invite you in return and a requital be made you.

wmth@Luke:14:14 @ and you will be blessed, because they have no means of requiting you, but there will be requital for you at the Resurrection of the righteous.«

wmth@Luke:14:18 @ »But they all without exception began to excuse themselves. The first told him,« `I have purchased a piece of land, and must of necessity go and look at it. Pray hold me excused.'

wmth@Luke:14:21 @ »So the servant came and brought these answers to his master, and they stirred his anger.« `Go out quickly,' he said, `into the streets of the city–the wide ones and the narrow. You will see poor men, and crippled, blind, lame: fetch them all in here.'

wmth@Luke:20:11 @ Then he sent a second servant; and him too they beat and ill treated and sent away empty-handed.

wmth@Luke:20:12 @ Then again he sent a third; and this one also they wounded and drove away.

wmth@Luke:20:20 @ So, after impatiently watching their opportunity, they sent spies who were to act the part of good and honest men, that they might fasten on some expression of His, so as to hand Him over to the ruling power and the Governor's authority.

wmth@Luke:20:21 @ So they put a question to Him. »Rabbi,« they said, »we know that you say and teach what is right and that you make no distinctions between one man and another, but teach God's way truly.

wmth@Luke:20:24 @ »Show me a shilling; whose likeness and inscription does it bear?« »Caesar's,« they said.

wmth@Luke:20:26 @ There was nothing here that they could lay hold of before the people, and marvelling at His answer they said no more.

wmth@Luke:20:27 @ Next some of the Sadducees came forward (who deny that there is a Resurrection), and they asked Him,

wmth@Luke:21:12 @ »But before all these things happen they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you up to synagogues and to prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my sake.«

wmth@Luke:22:38 @ »Master, here are two swords,« they exclaimed. »That is enough,« He replied.

wmth@Luke:22:54 @ And they arrested Him and led Him away, and brought Him to the High Priest's house, while Peter followed a good way behind.

wmth@Luke:23:21 @ They, however, persistently shouted, »Crucify, crucify him!«

wmth@Luke:23:26 @ As soon as they led Him away, they laid hold on one Simon, a Cyrenaean, who was coming in from the country, and on his shoulders they put the cross, for him to carry it behind Jesus.

wmth@Luke:23:29 @ For a time is coming when they will say, `Blessed are the women who never bore children, and the breasts which have never given nourishment.'

wmth@Luke:23:30 @ Then will they begin to say to the mountains, `Fall on us;' and to the hills, `Cover us.'

wmth@Luke:23:31 @ For if they are doing these things in the case of the green tree, what will be done in that of the dry?«

wmth@Luke:23:32 @ They brought also two others, criminals, to put them to death with Him.

wmth@Luke:23:33 @ When they reached the place called `The Skull,' there they nailed Him to the cross, and the criminals also, one at His right hand and one at His left.

wmth@Luke:23:34 @ Jesus prayed, »Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing.« And they divided His garments among them, drawing lots for them;

wmth@Luke:23:35 @ and the people stood looking on. The Rulers, too, repeatedly uttered their bitter taunts. »This fellow,« they said, »saved others: let him save himself, if he is God's Anointed, the Chosen One.«

wmth@Luke:23:56 @ Then they returned, and prepared spices and perfumes. On the Sabbath they rested in obedience to the Commandment.

wmth@Luke:24:1 @ And, on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices they had prepared.

wmth@Luke:24:2 @ But they found the stone rolled back from the tomb,

wmth@Luke:24:3 @ and on entering they found that the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.

wmth@Luke:24:4 @ At this they were in great perplexity, when suddenly there stood by them two men whose raiment flashed like lightning.

wmth@Luke:24:5 @ The women were terrified; but, as they stood with their faces bowed to the ground, the men said to them, »Why do you search among the dead for Him who is living?

wmth@Luke:24:8 @ Then they remembered His words,

wmth@Luke:24:9 @ and returning from the tomb they reported all this to the Eleven and to all the rest.

wmth@Luke:24:10 @ The women were Mary of Magdala, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; and they and the rest of the women related all this to the Apostles.

wmth@Luke:24:11 @ But the whole story seemed to them an idle tale; they could not believe the women.

wmth@Luke:24:16 @ though they were prevented from recognizing Him.

wmth@Luke:24:17 @ »What is the subject,« He asked them, »on which you are talking so earnestly, as you walk?« And they stood still, looking full of sorrow.

wmth@Luke:24:19 @ »What things?« He asked. »The things about Jesus the Nazarene,« they said, »who was a Prophet powerful in work and word before God and all the people;

wmth@Luke:24:22 @ And, besides, some of the women of our company have amazed us. They went to the tomb at daybreak,

wmth@Luke:24:23 @ and, finding that His body was not there, they came and declared to us that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive.

wmth@Luke:24:24 @ Thereupon some of our party went to the tomb and found things just as the women had said; but Jesus Himself they did not see.«

wmth@Luke:24:28 @ When they had come near the village to which they were going, He appeared to be going further.

wmth@Luke:24:29 @ But they pressed Him to remain with them. »Because,« said they, »it is getting towards evening, and the day is nearly over.« So He went in to stay with them.

wmth@Luke:24:31 @ their eyes were opened and they recognized Him. But He vanished from them.

wmth@Luke:24:32 @ »Were not our hearts,« they said to one another, »burning within us while He talked to us on the way and explained the Scriptures to us?«

wmth@Luke:24:33 @ So they rose and without an hour's delay returned to Jerusalem, and found the Eleven and the rest met together, who said to them,

wmth@Luke:24:35 @ Then they related what had happened on the way, and how He had been recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

wmth@Luke:24:36 @ While they were thus talking, He Himself stood in their midst and said, »Peace be to you!«

wmth@Luke:24:37 @ Startled, and in the utmost alarm, they thought they were looking at a spirit;

wmth@Luke:24:41 @ But, while they still could not believe it for joy and were full of astonishment, He asked them, »Have you any food here?«

wmth@Luke:24:42 @ And they gave Him a piece of roasted fish,

wmth@Luke:24:52 @ They worshipped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.

wmth@Luke:24:53 @ Afterwards they were continually in attendance at the Temple, blessing God.

wmth@John:1:21 @ »What then?« they inquired; »are you Elijah?«»I am not,« he said. »Are you the Prophet?«»No,« he answered.

wmth@John:1:22 @ So they pressed the question. »Who are you?« they said– »that we may take an answer to those who sent us. What account do you give of yourself?«

wmth@John:1:24 @ They were Pharisees who had been sent.

wmth@John:1:25 @ Again they questioned him. »Why then do you baptize,« they said, »if you are neither the Christ nor Elijah nor the Prophet?«

wmth@John:1:37 @ The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus.

wmth@John:1:38 @ Then Jesus turned round, and seeing them following He asked them, »What is your wish?« »Rabbi,« they replied- »where are you staying?«

wmth@John:1:39 @ »Come and you shall see,« He said. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they remained and spent that day with Him. It was then about ten o'clock in the morning.

wmth@John:2:3 @ Now the wine ran short; whereupon the mother of Jesus said to Him, »They have no wine.«

wmth@John:2:7 @ Jesus said to the attendants, »Fill the jars with water.« And they filled them to the brim.

wmth@John:2:9 @ So they carried some to him. And no sooner had the President tasted the water now turned into wine, than –not knowing where it came from, though the attendants who had drawn the water knew– he called to the bridegroom

wmth@John:2:12 @ Afterwards He went down to Capernaum–He, and His mother, and His brothers, and His disciples; and they made a short stay there.

wmth@John:2:22 @ When however He had risen from among the dead, His disciples recollected that He had said this; and they believed the Scripture and the teaching which Jesus had given them.

wmth@John:3:19 @ And this is the test by which men are judged–the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than they loved the Light, because their deeds were wicked.

wmth@John:3:26 @ they came to John and reported to him, »Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan and to whom you bore testimony is now baptizing, and great numbers of people are resorting to him.«

wmth@John:4:30 @ They left the town and set out to go to Him.

wmth@John:4:31 @ Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. »Rabbi,« they said, »eat something.«

wmth@John:4:33 @ So the disciples began questioning one another. »Can it be,« they said, »that some one has brought Him something to eat?«

wmth@John:4:35 @ Do you not say, `It wants four months yet to the harvest'? But look round, I tell you, and observe these plains– they are already ripe for the sickle.

wmth@John:4:40 @ When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

wmth@John:4:42 @ and they said to the woman, »We no longer believe in Him simply because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world.«

wmth@John:4:45 @ When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been to the Festival.

wmth@John:4:52 @ So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. »Yesterday, about seven o'clock,« they replied, »the fever left him.«

wmth@John:5:12 @ »Who is it,« they asked, »that said to you, `Take up your mat and walk'?«

wmth@John:5:23 @ that all may honour the Son even as they honour the Father. The man who withholds honour from the Son withholds honour from the Father who sent Him.

wmth@John:5:29 @ they who have done what is right to the resurrection of Life, and they whose actions have been evil to the resurrection of judgement.

wmth@John:6:2 @ A vast multitude followed Him, because they witnessed the miracles on the sick which He was constantly performing.

wmth@John:6:10 @ »Make the people sit down,« said Jesus. The ground was covered with thick grass; so they sat down, the adult men numbering about 5,000.

wmth@John:6:11 @ Then Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks He distributed them to those who were resting on the ground; and also the fish in like manner–as much as they desired.

wmth@John:6:13 @ Accordingly they gathered them up; and with the fragments of the five barley loaves –the broken portions that remained over after they had done eating– they filled twelve baskets.

wmth@John:6:15 @ Perceiving, however, that they were about to come and carry Him off by force to make Him a king, Jesus withdrew again up the hill alone by Himself.

wmth@John:6:17 @ There they got on board a boat, and pushed off to cross the Lake to Capernaum. By this time it had become dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them.

wmth@John:6:19 @ When, however, they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the water and coming near the boat.

wmth@John:6:20 @ They were terrified; but He called to them. »It is I,« He said, »do not be afraid.«

wmth@John:6:21 @ Then they were willing to take Him on board; and in a moment the boat reached the shore at the point to which they were going.

wmth@John:6:22 @ Next morning the crowd who were still standing about on the other side of the Lake found that there had been but one small boat there, and they had seen that Jesus did not go on board with His disciples, but that His disciples went away without Him.

wmth@John:6:23 @ Yet a number of small boats came from Tiberias to the neighbourhood of the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

wmth@John:6:24 @ When however the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they themselves also took boats and came to Capernaum to look for Jesus.

wmth@John:6:25 @ So when they had crossed the Lake and had found Him, they asked Him, »Rabbi, when did you come here?«

wmth@John:6:28 @ »What are we to do,« they asked, »in order to carry out the things that God requires?«

wmth@John:6:30 @ »What miracle then,« they asked, »do you perform for us to see and become believers in you? What do you?

wmth@John:6:34 @ »Sir,« they said, »always give us that bread.«

wmth@John:6:42 @ They kept asking, »Is not this man Joseph's son? Is he not Jesus, whose father and mother we know? What does he mean by now saying, `I have come down out of Heaven'?«

wmth@John:6:49 @ Your forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, and they died.

wmth@John:6:52 @ This led to an angry debate among the Jews. »How can this man,« they argued, »give us his flesh to eat?«

wmth@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down out of Heaven; it is unlike that which your forefathers ate–for they ate and yet died. He who eats this bread shall live for ever.«

wmth@John:6:60 @ Many therefore of His disciples, when they heard it, said, »This is hard to accept. Who can listen to such teaching?«

wmth@John:7:15 @ The Jews were astonished. »How does this man know anything of books,« they said, »although he has never been at any of the schools?«

wmth@John:7:25 @ Some however of the people of Jerusalem said, »Is not this the man they are wanting to kill?

wmth@John:7:26 @ But here he is, speaking openly and boldly, and they say nothing to him! Can the Rulers really have ascertained that this man is the Christ?

wmth@John:7:30 @ On hearing this they wanted to arrest Him; yet not a hand was laid on Him, because His time had not yet come.

wmth@John:7:31 @ But from among the crowd a large number believed in Him. »When the Christ comes,« they said, »will He perform more miracles than this teacher has performed?«

wmth@John:7:52 @ »Do you also come from Galilee?« they asked in reply. »Search and see for yourself that no Prophet is of Galilaean origin.«

wmth@John:7:53 @ [So they went away to their several homes;

wmth@John:8:3 @ and was teaching them when the Scribes and the Pharisees brought to Him a woman who had been found committing adultery. They made her stand in the centre of the court, and they put the case to Him.

wmth@John:8:4 @ »Rabbi,« they said, »this woman has been found in the very act of committing adultery.

wmth@John:8:6 @ They asked this in order to put Him to the test, so that they might have some charge to bring against Him. But Jesus leant forward and began to write with His finger on the ground.

wmth@John:8:7 @ When however they persisted with their question, He raised His head and said to them, »Let the sinless man among you be the first to throw a stone at her.«

wmth@John:8:9 @ They listened to Him, and then, beginning with the eldest, took their departure, one by one, till all were gone. And Jesus was left behind alone–and the woman in the centre of the court.

wmth@John:8:10 @ Then, raising His head, Jesus said to her, »Where are they? Has no one condemned you?«

wmth@John:8:19 @ »Where is your Father?« they asked. »You know my Father as little as you know me.« He replied; »if you knew me, you would know my Father also.«

wmth@John:8:25 @ »You–who are you?« they asked. »How is it that I am speaking to you at all?« replied Jesus.

wmth@John:8:27 @ They did not perceive that He was speaking to them of the Father.

wmth@John:8:33 @ »We are descendants of Abraham,« they answered, »and have never at any time been in slavery to any one. What do those words of yours mean, `You shall become free'?«

wmth@John:8:39 @ »Our father is Abraham,« they said. »If you were Abraham's children,« replied Jesus, »it is Abraham's deeds that you would be doing.

wmth@John:8:41 @ You are doing the deeds of your father. »We,« they replied, »are not illegitimate children. We have one Father, namely God.«

wmth@John:8:59 @ Thereupon they took up stones with which to stone Him, but He hid Himself and went away out of the Temple.

wmth@John:9:10 @ »How then were your eyes opened?« they asked.

wmth@John:9:12 @ »Where is he?« they inquired, but the man did not know.

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

wmth@John:9:17 @ And there was a division among them. So again they asked the once blind man, »What is your account of him? –for he opened your eyes.«»He is a Prophet,« he replied.

wmth@John:9:18 @ The Jews, however, did not believe the statement concerning him –that he had been blind and had obtained his sight– until they called his parents and asked them,

wmth@John:9:22 @ Such was their answer, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already settled among themselves that if any one should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be excluded from the synagogue.

wmth@John:9:24 @ A second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said, »Give God the praise: we know that that man is a sinner.«

wmth@John:9:26 @ »What did he do to you?« they asked; »how did he open your eyes?«

wmth@John:9:28 @ Then they railed at him, and said, »You are that man's disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

wmth@John:9:34 @ »You,« they replied, »were wholly begotten and born in sin, and do teach?« And they put him out of the synagogue.

wmth@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had done this. So having found him, He asked him, »Do you believe in the Son of God?«

wmth@John:9:40 @ These words were heard by those of the Pharisees who were present, and they asked Him, »Are also blind?«

wmth@John:10:4 @ When he has brought out his own sheep –all of them– he walks at the head of them; and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

wmth@John:10:5 @ But a stranger they will by no means follow, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.«

wmth@John:10:6 @ Jesus spoke to them in this figurative language, but they did not understand what He meant.

wmth@John:10:10 @ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy: I have come that they may have Life, and may have it in abundance.

wmth@John:10:16 @ I have also other sheep–which do not belong to this fold. Those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice; and they shall become one flock under one Shepherd.

wmth@John:10:25 @ »I have told you,« answered Jesus, »and you do not believe. The deeds that I do in my Father's name–they give testimony about me.

wmth@John:10:27 @ My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

wmth@John:10:28 @ I give them the Life of the Ages, and they shall never, never perish, nor shall any one wrest them from my hand.

wmth@John:10:38 @ But if they are, then even if you do not believe me, at least believe the deeds, that you may know and see clearly that the Father is in me, and that I am in the Father.«

wmth@John:11:13 @ Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought He referred to the rest taken in ordinary sleep.

wmth@John:11:31 @ So the Jews who were with Mary in the house sympathizing with her, when they saw that she had risen hastily and had gone out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep aloud there.

wmth@John:11:41 @ So they removed the stone. Then Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, »Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard me.

wmth@John:11:42 @ I know that Thou always hearest me; but for the sake of the crowd standing round I have said this–that they may believe that Thou didst send me.«

wmth@John:11:47 @ Therefore the High Priests and the Pharisees held a meeting of the Sanhedrin. »What steps are we taking?« they asked one another; »for this man is performing a great number of miracles.

wmth@John:11:53 @ So from that day forward they planned and schemed in order to put Him to death.

wmth@John:11:56 @ They therefore looked out for Jesus, and asked one another as they stood in the Temple, »What do you think? –will he come to the Festival at all?«

wmth@John:11:57 @ Now the High Priests and the Pharisees had issued orders that if any one knew where He was, he should give information, so that they might arrest Him.

wmth@John:12:2 @ So they gave a dinner there in honour of Jesus, at which Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of the guests who were with Him.

wmth@John:12:9 @ Now it became widely known among the Jews that Jesus was there; but they came not only on His account, but also in order to see Lazarus whom He had brought back to life.

wmth@John:12:13 @ took branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, shouting as they went, »God save him! –even on the King of Israel!«

wmth@John:12:16 @ The meaning of this His disciples did not understand at the time; but after Jesus was glorified they recollected that this was written about Him, and that they had done this to Him.

wmth@John:12:17 @ The large number of people, however, who had been present when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and brought him back to life, related what they had witnessed.

wmth@John:12:18 @ This was also why the crowd came to meet Him, because they had heard of His having performed that miracle.

wmth@John:12:21 @ They came to Philip, of Bethsaida in Galilee, with the request, »Sir, we wish to see Jesus.«

wmth@John:12:37 @ But though He had performed such great miracles in their presence, they did not believe in Him–

wmth@John:12:39 @ For this reason they were unable to believe–because Isaiah said again,

wmth@John:12:42 @ Nevertheless even from among the Rulers many believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees they did not avow their belief, for fear they should be shut out from the synagogue.

wmth@John:12:43 @ For they loved the glory that comes from men rather than the glory that comes from God.

wmth@John:13:18 @ I am not speaking of all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but things are as they are in order that the Scripture may be fulfilled, which says,

wmth@John:13:19 @ From this time forward I tell you things before they happen, in order that when they do happen you may believe that I am He.

wmth@John:15:6 @ If any one does not continue in me, he is like the unfruitful branch which is at once thrown away and then withers up. Such branches they gather up and throw into the fire and they are burned.

wmth@John:15:20 @ Bear in mind what I said to you, `A servant is not superior to his master.' If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.

wmth@John:15:21 @ But they will inflict all this suffering upon you on account of your bearing my name–because they do not know Him who sent me.

wmth@John:15:22 @ »If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have had no sin; but as the case stands they are without excuse for their sin.«

wmth@John:15:24 @ If I had not done among them, as I have, such miracles as no one else ever did, they would have had no sin; but they have in fact seen and also hated both me and my Father.

wmth@John:16:3 @ And they will do these things because they have failed to recognize the Father and to discover who I am.

wmth@John:16:9 @ of sin, because they do not believe in me;

wmth@John:16:18 @ So they asked one another repeatedly, »What can that `little while' mean which He speaks of? We do not understand His words.«

wmth@John:16:19 @ Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask Him, and He said, »Is this what you are questioning one another about–my saying, `A little while and you do not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me'?

wmth@John:17:6 @ »I have revealed Thy perfections to the men whom Thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and Thou gavest them to me, and they have obeyed Thy message.«

wmth@John:17:7 @ Now they know that whatever Thou hast given me is from Thee.

wmth@John:17:8 @ For the truths which Thou didst teach me I have taught them. And they have received them, and have known for certain that I came out from Thy presence, and have believed that Thou didst send me.

wmth@John:17:9 @ »I am making request for them: for the world I do not make any request, but for those whom Thou hast given me. Because they are Thine,

wmth@John:17:11 @ I am now no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to Thee. »Holy Father, keep them true to Thy name –the name which Thou hast given me to bear– that they may be one, even as we are.

wmth@John:17:14 @ I have given them Thy Message, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

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

wmth@John:17:23 @ I in them and Thou in me; that they may stand perfected in one; that the world may come to understand that Thou didst send me and hast loved them with the same love as that with which Thou hast loved me.

wmth@John:17:24 @ »Father, those whom Thou hast given me – I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see the glory –my glory– my gift from Thee, which Thou hast given me because Thou didst love me before the creation of the world.

wmth@John:18:6 @ As soon then as He said to them, »I am he,« they went backwards and fell to the ground.

wmth@John:18:7 @ Again therefore He asked them, »Who are you looking for?«»For Jesus the Nazarene,« they said.

wmth@John:18:13 @ They then brought Him to Annas first; for Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.

wmth@John:18:28 @ So they brought Jesus from Caiaphas's house to the Praetorium. It was the early morning, and they would not enter the Praetorium themselves for fear of defilement, and in order that they might be able to eat the Passover.

wmth@John:18:30 @ »If the man were not a criminal,« they replied, »we would not have handed him over to you.«

wmth@John:18:32 @ They said this that the words might be fulfilled in which Jesus predicted the kind of death He was to die.

wmth@John:18:40 @ With a roar of voices they again cried out, saying, »Not this man, but Barabbas!« Now Barabbas was a robber.

wmth@John:19:3 @ Then they began to march up to Him, saying in a mocking voice, »Hail King of the Jews!« And they struck Him with the palms of their hands.

wmth@John:19:6 @ As soon then as the High Priests and the officers saw Him, they shouted »To the cross! To the cross!« »Take him yourselves and crucify him,« said Pilate; »for I, at any rate, find no crime in him.«

wmth@John:19:16 @ Then Pilate gave Him up to them to be crucified. Accordingly they took Jesus;

wmth@John:19:18 @ where they nailed Him to a cross, and two others at the same time, one on each side and Jesus in the middle.

wmth@John:19:21 @ This led the Jewish High Priests to remonstrate with Pilate. »You should not write `The King of the Jews,'« they said, »but that he claimed to be King of the Jews.«

wmth@John:19:23 @ So the soldiers, as soon as they had crucified Jesus, took His garments, including His tunic, and divided them into four parts–one part for each soldier. The tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.

wmth@John:19:24 @ So they said to one another, »Do not let us tear it. Let us draw lots for it.« This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says, That was just what the soldiers did.

wmth@John:19:29 @ There was a jar of wine standing there. With this wine they filled a sponge, put it on the end of a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.

wmth@John:19:33 @ Then they came to Jesus Himself: but when they saw that He was already dead, they refrained from breaking His legs.

wmth@John:19:40 @ Taking down the body they wrapped it in linen cloths along with the spices, in accordance with the Jewish mode of preparing for burial.

wmth@John:19:42 @ Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation for the Jewish Passover, and the tomb was close at hand, they put Jesus there.

wmth@John:20:2 @ So she ran, as fast as she could, to find Simon Peter and the other disciple –the one who was dear to Jesus– and to tell them, »They have taken the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have put Him.«

wmth@John:20:9 @ For until now they had not understood the inspired teaching, that He must rise again from among the dead.

wmth@John:20:10 @ Then they went away and returned home.

wmth@John:20:13 @ They spoke to her. »Why are you weeping?« they asked. »Because,« she replied, »they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him.«

wmth@John:20:23 @ If you remit the sins of any persons, they remain remitted to them. If you bind fast the sins of any, they remain bound.«

wmth@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, »I am going fishing.«»We will go too,« said they. So they set out and went on board their boat; but they caught nothing that night.

wmth@John:21:5 @ He called to them. »Children,« He said, »have you any food there?«»No,« they answered.

wmth@John:21:6 @ »Throw the net in on the right hand side,« He said, »and you will find fish.« So they threw the net in, and now they could scarcely drag it along for the quantity of fish.

wmth@John:21:8 @ But the rest of the disciples came in the small boat (for they were not far from land–only about a hundred yards off), dragging the net full of fish.

wmth@John:21:9 @ As soon as they landed, they saw a charcoal fire burning there, with fish broiling on it, and bread close by.

wmth@John:21:10 @ Jesus told them to fetch some of the fish which they had just caught.

wmth@John:21:12 @ »Come this way and have breakfast,« said Jesus. But not one of the disciples ventured to question Him as to who He was, for they felt sure that it was the Master.

wmth@John:21:15 @ When they had finished breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, »Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?«»Yes, Master,« was his answer; »you know that you are dear to me.« »Then feed my lambs,« replied Jesus.

wmth@John:21:25 @ But there are also many other things which Jesus did–so vast a number indeed that if they were all described in detail, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would have to be written.

wmth@Acts:1:6 @ Once when they were with Him, they asked Him, »Master, is this the time at which you are about to restore the kingdom of Israel?«

wmth@Acts:1:9 @ When He had said this, and while they were looking at Him, He was carried up, and a cloud closing beneath Him hid Him from their sight.

wmth@Acts:1:10 @ But, while they stood intently gazing into the sky as He went, suddenly there were two men in white garments standing by them,

wmth@Acts:1:12 @ Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called the Oliveyard, which is near Jerusalem, about a mile off.

wmth@Acts:1:13 @ They entered the city, and they went up to the upper room which was now their fixed place for meeting. Their names were Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the brother of James.

wmth@Acts:1:26 @ Then they drew lots between them. The lot fell on Matthias, and a place among the eleven Apostles was voted to him.

wmth@Acts:2:1 @ At length, on the day of the Harvest Festival, they had all met in one place;

wmth@Acts:2:2 @ when suddenly there came from the sky a sound as of a strong rushing blast of wind. This filled the whole house where they were sitting;

wmth@Acts:2:3 @ and they saw tongues of what looked like fire distributing themselves over the assembly, and on the head of each person a tongue alighted.

wmth@Acts:2:4 @ They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in foreign languages according as the Spirit gave them words to utter.

wmth@Acts:2:6 @ So when this noise was heard, they came crowding together, and were amazed because everyone heard his own language spoken.

wmth@Acts:2:7 @ They were beside themselves with wonder, and exclaimed, »Are not all these speakers Galilaeans?

wmth@Acts:2:12 @ They were all astounded and bewildered, and asked one another, »What can this mean?«

wmth@Acts:2:13 @ But others, scornfully jeering, said, »They are brim-full of sweet wine.«

wmth@Acts:2:18 @ and even upon My bondservants, both men and women, at that time, I will pour out My Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

wmth@Acts:2:37 @ Stung to the heart by these words, they said to Peter and the rest of the Apostles, »Brethren, what are we to do?«

wmth@Acts:2:42 @ and they were constant in listening to the teaching of the Apostles and in their attendance at the Communion, that is, the Breaking of the Bread, and at prayer.

wmth@Acts:2:45 @ They sold their lands and other property, and distributed the proceeds among all, according to every one's necessities.

wmth@Acts:2:46 @ And, day by day, attending constantly in the Temple with one accord, and breaking bread in private houses, they took their meals with great happiness and single-heartedness,

wmth@Acts:3:2 @ some men were carrying there one who had been lame from birth, whom they were wont to place every day close to the Beautiful Gate (as it was called) of the Temple, for him to beg from the people as they went in.

wmth@Acts:3:10 @ and recognizing him as the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple asking for alms, they were filled with awe and amazement at what had happened to him.

wmth@Acts:4:1 @ While they were saying this to the people, the Priests, the Commander of the Temple Guard, and the Sadducees came upon them,

wmth@Acts:4:3 @ They arrested the two Apostles and lodged them in custody till the next day; for it was already evening.

wmth@Acts:4:7 @ So they made the Apostles stand in the centre, and demanded of them, »By what power or in what name have you done this?«

wmth@Acts:4:13 @ As they looked on Peter and John so fearlessly outspoken –and also discovered that they were illiterate persons, untrained in the schools– they were surprised; and now they recognized them as having been with Jesus.

wmth@Acts:4:14 @ And seeing the man standing with them –the man who had been cured– they had no reply to make.

wmth@Acts:4:15 @ So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin while they conferred among themselves.

wmth@Acts:4:16 @ »What are we to do with these men?« they asked one another; for the fact that a remarkable miracle has been performed by them is well known to every one in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

wmth@Acts:4:18 @ So they recalled the Apostles, and ordered them altogether to give up speaking or teaching in the name of Jesus.

wmth@Acts:4:24 @ And they, upon hearing the story, all lifted up their voices to God and said, »O Sovereign Lord, it is Thou who didst make Heaven and earth and sea, and all that is in them,

wmth@Acts:4:27 @ »They did indeed assemble in this city in hostility to Thy holy Servant Jesus whom Thou hadst anointed –Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and also the tribes of Israel–«

wmth@Acts:4:31 @ When they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled shook, and they were, one and all, filled with the Holy Spirit, and proceeded to tell God's Message with boldness.

wmth@Acts:4:32 @ Among all those who had embraced the faith there was but one heart and soul, so that none of them claimed any of his possessions as his own, but everything they had was common property;

wmth@Acts:4:34 @ And, in fact, there was not a needy man among them, for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the money which they realised,

wmth@Acts:5:9 @ »How was it,« replied Peter, »that you two agreed to try an experiment upon the Spirit of the Lord? The men who have buried your husband are already at the door, and they will carry you out.«

wmth@Acts:5:10 @ Instantly she fell down dead at his feet, and the young men came in and found her dead. So they carried her out and buried her by her husband's side.

wmth@Acts:5:12 @ Many signs and marvels continued to be done among the people by the Apostles; and by common consent they all met in Solomon's Portico.

wmth@Acts:5:15 @ so that they would even bring out their sick friends into the streets and lay them on light couches or mats, in order that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on one or other of them.

wmth@Acts:5:16 @ The inhabitants, too, of the towns in the neighbourhood of Jerusalem came in crowds, bringing sick persons and some who were harassed by foul spirits, and they were cured, one and all.

wmth@Acts:5:21 @ Having received that command they went into the Temple, just before daybreak, and began to teach: So when the High Priest and his party came, and had called together the Sanhedrin as well as all the Elders of the descendants of Israel, they sent to the jail to fetch the Apostles.

wmth@Acts:5:22 @ But the officers went and could not find them in the prison. So they came back and brought word,

wmth@Acts:5:24 @ When the Commander of the Temple Guards and the High Priests heard this statement, they were utterly at a loss with regard to it, wondering what would happen next.

wmth@Acts:5:26 @ Upon this the Commander went with the officers, and brought the Apostles; but without using violence; for they were afraid of being stoned by the people.

wmth@Acts:5:27 @ So they brought them and made them stand in front of the Sanhedrin. And then the High Priest questioned them.

wmth@Acts:5:33 @ Infuriated at getting this answer, they were disposed to kill the Apostles.

wmth@Acts:5:34 @ But a Pharisee of the name of Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, held in honour by all the people, rose from his seat and requested that they should be sent outside the court for a few minutes.

wmth@Acts:5:40 @ His advice carried conviction. So they called the Apostles in, and –after flogging them– ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and then let them go.

wmth@Acts:5:41 @ They, therefore, left the Sanhedrin and went their way, rejoicing that they had been deemed worthy to suffer disgrace on behalf of the NAME.

wmth@Acts:5:42 @ But they did not desist from teaching every day, in the Temple or in private houses, and telling the Good News about Jesus, the Christ.

wmth@Acts:6:5 @ The suggestion met with general approval, and they selected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch.

wmth@Acts:6:6 @ These men they brought to the Apostles, and, after prayer, they laid their hands upon them.

wmth@Acts:6:10 @ They were quite unable, however, to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.

wmth@Acts:6:11 @ Then they privately put forward men who declared, »We have heard him speak blasphemous things against Moses and against God.«

wmth@Acts:6:12 @ In this way they excited the people, the Elders, and the Scribes. At length they came upon him, seized him with violence, and took him before the Sanhedrin.

wmth@Acts:6:13 @ Here they brought forward false witnesses who declared, »This fellow is incessantly speaking against the Holy Place and the Law.

wmth@Acts:6:15 @ At once the eyes of all who were sitting in the Sanhedrin were fastened on him, and they saw his face looking just like the face of an angel.

wmth@Acts:7:7 @ »`And the nation, whichever it is, that enslaves them, I will judge,' said God; `and afterwards they shall come out, and they shall worship Me in this place.'«

wmth@Acts:7:16 @ and they were taken to Shechem and were laid in the tomb which Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a sum of money paid in silver.

wmth@Acts:7:19 @ He adopted a crafty policy towards our race, and oppressed our forefathers, making them cast out their infants so that they might not be permitted to live.

wmth@Acts:7:25 @ He supposed his brethren to be aware that by him God was sending them deliverance; this, however, they did not understand.

wmth@Acts:7:35 @ »The Moses whom they rejected, asking him, `Who appointed you magistrate and judge?' –that same Moses we find God sending as a magistrate and a deliverer by the help of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.«

wmth@Acts:7:40 @ They said to Aaron, »`Make gods for us, to march in front of us; for as for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'

wmth@Acts:7:41 @ »Moreover they made a calf at that time, and offered a sacrifice to the idol and kept rejoicing in the gods which their own hands had made.«

wmth@Acts:7:45 @ That Tent was bequeathed to the next generation of our forefathers. Under Joshua they brought it with them when they were taking possession of the land of the Gentile nations, whom God drove out before them. So it continued till David's time.

wmth@Acts:7:52 @ Which of the Prophets did not your forefathers persecute? Yes, they killed those who announced beforehand the advent of the righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become–

wmth@Acts:7:54 @ As they listened to these words, they became infuriated and gnashed their teeth at him.

wmth@Acts:7:57 @ Upon this, with a loud outcry they stopped their ears, rushed upon Stephen in a body,

wmth@Acts:7:59 @ So they stoned Stephen, while he prayed, »Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.«

wmth@Acts:8:6 @ Crowds of people, with one accord, gave attention to what they heard from him, listening, and witnessing the signs which he did.

wmth@Acts:8:12 @ But when Philip began to tell the Good News about the Kingdom of God and about the Name of Jesus Christ, and they embraced the faith, they were baptized, men and women alike.

wmth@Acts:8:14 @ When the Apostles in Jerusalem heard that the Samaritans had accepted God's Message, they sent Peter and John to visit them.

wmth@Acts:8:15 @ They, when they came down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit:

wmth@Acts:8:16 @ for He had not as yet fallen upon any of them. They had only been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

wmth@Acts:8:17 @ Then the Apostles placed their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

wmth@Acts:8:36 @ So they proceeded on their way till they came to some water; and the eunuch exclaimed, »See, here is water; what is there to prevent my being baptized?«

wmth@Acts:8:39 @ But no sooner had they come up out of the water than the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again. With a glad heart he resumed his journey;

wmth@Acts:9:8 @ Then he rose from the ground, but when he had opened his eyes, he could not see, and they led him by the arm and brought him to Damascus.

wmth@Acts:9:24 @ but information of their intention was given to him. They even watched the gates, day and night, in order to murder him;

wmth@Acts:9:26 @ So he came to Jerusalem and made several attempts to associate with the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, being in doubt as to whether he himself was a disciple.

wmth@Acts:9:30 @ But they kept trying to take his life. On learning this, the brethren brought him down to Caesarea, and then sent him by sea to Tarsus.

wmth@Acts:9:35 @ And all the people of Lud and Sharon saw him; and they turned to the Lord.

wmth@Acts:9:37 @ But, as it happened, just at that time she was taken ill and died. After washing her body they laid it out in a room upstairs.

wmth@Acts:9:39 @ So Peter rose and went with them. On his arrival they took him upstairs, and the widow women all came and stood by his side, weeping and showing him the underclothing and cloaks and garments of all kinds which Dorcas used to make while she was still with them.

wmth@Acts:10:9 @ The next day, while they were still on their journey and were getting near the town, about noon Peter went up on the house-top to pray.

wmth@Acts:10:10 @ He had become unusually hungry and wished for food; but, while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance.

wmth@Acts:10:24 @ and the day after that they reached Caesarea. There Cornelius was awaiting their arrival, and had invited all his relatives and intimate friends to be present.

wmth@Acts:10:39 @ »And we are witnesses as to all that He did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. But they even put Him to death, by crucifixion.«

wmth@Acts:10:46 @ For they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling the majesty of God. Then Peter said,

wmth@Acts:10:48 @ And he directed that they should be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they begged him to remain with them for a time.

wmth@Acts:11:3 @ »You went into the houses of men who are not Jews,« they said, »and you ate with them.«

wmth@Acts:11:18 @ This statement of Peter's silenced his opponents. They extolled the goodness of God, and said, »So, then, to the Gentiles also God has given the repentance which leads to Life.«

wmth@Acts:11:22 @ When tidings of this reached the ears of the Church in Jerusalem, they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.

wmth@Acts:11:26 @ He succeeded, and brought him to Antioch; and for a whole year they attended the meetings of the Church, and taught a large number of people. And it was in Antioch that the disciples first received the name of `Christians.'

wmth@Acts:11:30 @ This they did, forwarding their contributions to the Elders by Barnabas and Saul.

wmth@Acts:12:10 @ And passing through the first ward and the second, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. This opened to them of itself; and, going out, they passed on through one of the streets, and then suddenly the angel left him.

wmth@Acts:12:15 @ »You are mad,« they said. But she strenuously maintained that it was true. »It is his guardian angel,« they said.

wmth@Acts:12:16 @ Meanwhile Peter went on knocking, until at last they opened the door and saw that it was really he, and were filled with amazement.

wmth@Acts:12:20 @ Now the people of Tyre and Sidon had incurred Herod's violent displeasure. So they sent a large deputation to wait on him; and having secured the good will of Blastus, his treasurer, they begged the king to be friendly with them again, because their country was dependent on his for its food supply.

wmth@Acts:12:25 @ And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having discharged their mission, and they brought with them John, surnamed Mark.

wmth@Acts:13:2 @ While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, »Set apart for Me, now at once, Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.«

wmth@Acts:13:3 @ So, after fasting and prayer and the laying on of hands, they let them go.

wmth@Acts:13:4 @ They therefore, being thus sent out by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleuceia, and from there sailed to Cyprus.

wmth@Acts:13:5 @ Having reached Salamis, they began to announce God's Message in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John as their assistant.

wmth@Acts:13:6 @ When they had gone through the whole length of the island as far as Paphos, they there met with a Jewish magician and false prophet, Bar-Jesus by name,

wmth@Acts:13:14 @ But they themselves, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch in Pisidia. Here, on the Sabbath day, they went into the synagogue and sat down.

wmth@Acts:13:15 @ After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the Wardens of the synagogue sent word to them. »Brethren,« they said, »if you have anything encouraging to say to the people, speak.«

wmth@Acts:13:21 @ Next they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a Benjamite, who reigned forty years.

wmth@Acts:13:27 @ For the people of Jerusalem and their rulers, by the judgement they pronounced on Jesus, have actually fulfilled the predictions of the Prophets which are read Sabbath after Sabbath, through ignorance of those predictions and of Him.

wmth@Acts:13:28 @ Without having found Him guilty of any capital offence they urged Pilate to have Him put to death;

wmth@Acts:13:29 @ and when they had carried out everything which had been written about Him, they took Him down from the cross and laid Him in a tomb.

wmth@Acts:13:51 @ But they shook off the dust from their feet as a protest against them and came to Iconium;

wmth@Acts:13:52 @ and as for the disciples, they were more and more filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

wmth@Acts:14:7 @ And there they continued to tell the Good News.

wmth@Acts:14:12 @ They called Barnabas `Zeus,' and Paul, as being the principal speaker, `Hermes.'

wmth@Acts:14:14 @ But the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it; and tearing their clothes they rushed out into the middle of the crowd, exclaiming, »Sirs, why are you doing all this?

wmth@Acts:14:18 @ Even with words like these they had difficulty in preventing the thronging crowd from offering sacrifices to them.

wmth@Acts:14:19 @ But now a party of Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and, having won over the crowd, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the town, believing him to be dead.

wmth@Acts:14:21 @ and, after proclaiming the Good News to the people there and gaining a large number of converts, they retraced their steps to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch.

wmth@Acts:14:22 @ Everywhere they strengthened the disciples by encouraging them to hold fast to the faith, and warned them saying, »It is through many afflictions that we must make our way into the Kingdom of God.«

wmth@Acts:14:23 @ And in every Church, after prayer and fasting, they selected Elders by show of hands, and commended them to the Lord on whom their faith rested.

wmth@Acts:14:24 @ Then passing through Pisidia they came into Pamphylia;

wmth@Acts:14:25 @ and after telling the Message at Perga they came down to Attaleia.

wmth@Acts:14:26 @ Thence they sailed to Antioch, where they had previously been commended to the grace of God in connexion with the work which they had now completed.

wmth@Acts:14:27 @ Upon their arrival they called the Church together and proceeded to report in detail all that God, working with them, had done, and how He had opened for the Gentiles the door of faith.

wmth@Acts:14:28 @ And they remained a considerable time in Antioch with the disciples.

wmth@Acts:15:3 @ So they set out, being accompanied for a short distance by some other members of the Church; and as they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, they told the whole story of the conversion of the Gentiles and inspired all the brethren with great joy.

wmth@Acts:15:4 @ Upon their arrival in Jerusalem they were cordially received by the Church, the Apostles, and the Elders; and they reported in detail all that God, working with them, had done.

wmth@Acts:15:11 @ On the contrary, we believe that it is by the grace of the Lord Jesus that we, as well as they, shall be saved.«

wmth@Acts:15:12 @ Then the whole assembly remained silent while they listened to the statement made by Paul and Barnabas as to all the signs and marvels that God had done among the Gentiles through their instrumentality.

wmth@Acts:15:13 @ When they had finished speaking, James said, »Brethren, listen to me.

wmth@Acts:15:23 @ and they took with them the following letter: »The Apostles and the elder brethren send greeting to the Gentile brethren throughout Antioch, Syria and Cilicia.

wmth@Acts:15:30 @ They, therefore, having been solemnly sent, came down to Antioch, where they called together the whole assembly and delivered the letter.

wmth@Acts:15:33 @ After spending some time there they received an affectionate farewell from the brethren to return to those who had sent them.

wmth@Acts:15:36 @ After a while Paul said to Barnabas, »Suppose we now revisit the brethren in the various towns in which we have made known the Lord's Message–to see whether they are prospering!«

wmth@Acts:16:3 @ and Paul desiring that he should accompany him on his journey, took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

wmth@Acts:16:4 @ As they journeyed on from town to town, they handed to the brethren for their observance the decisions which had been arrived at by the Apostles and Elders in Jerusalem.

wmth@Acts:16:7 @ When they reached the frontier of Mysia, they were about to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit this.

wmth@Acts:16:8 @ So, passing along Mysia, they came to Troas.

wmth@Acts:16:19 @ But when her owners saw that their hopes of gain were gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them off to the magistrates in the public square.

wmth@Acts:16:20 @ Then they brought them before the praetors. »These men,« they said, »are creating a great disturbance in our city.

wmth@Acts:16:21 @ They are Jews, and are teaching customs which we, as Romans, are not permitted to adopt or practise.«

wmth@Acts:16:23 @ and, after severely flogging them, they threw them into jail and bade the jailer keep them safely.

wmth@Acts:16:31 @ »Believe on the Lord Jesus,« they replied, »and both you and your household will be saved.«

wmth@Acts:16:32 @ And they told the Lord's Message to him as well as to all who were in his house.

wmth@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said to them, »After cruelly beating us in public, without trial, Roman citizens though we are, they have thrown us into prison, and are they now going to send us away privately? No, indeed! Let them come in person and fetch us out.«

wmth@Acts:16:38 @ This answer the lictors took back to the praetors, who were alarmed when they were told that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens.

wmth@Acts:16:39 @ Accordingly they came and apologized to them; and, bringing them out, asked them to leave the city.

wmth@Acts:16:40 @ Then Paul and Silas, having come out of the prison, went to Lydia's house; and, after seeing the brethren and encouraging them, they left Philippi.

wmth@Acts:17:1 @ Then, passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they went to Thessalonica. Here there was a synagogue of the Jews.

wmth@Acts:17:5 @ But the jealousy of the Jews was aroused, and, calling to their aid some ill-conditioned and idle fellows, they got together a riotous mob and filled the city with uproar. They then attacked the house of Jason and searched for Paul and Silas, to bring them out before the assembly of people.

wmth@Acts:17:6 @ But, failing to find them, they dragged Jason and some of the other brethren before the magistrates of the city, loudly accusing them. »These men,« they said, »who have raised a tumult throughout the Empire, have come here also.

wmth@Acts:17:7 @ Jason has received them into his house; and they all set Caesar's authority at defiance, declaring that there is another Emperor– one called Jesus.«

wmth@Acts:17:8 @ Great was the excitement among the crowd, and among the magistrates of the city, when they heard these charges.

wmth@Acts:17:9 @ They required Jason and the rest to find substantial bail, and after that they let them go.

wmth@Acts:17:10 @ The brethren at once sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea, and they, on their arrival, went to the synagogue of the Jews.

wmth@Acts:17:11 @ The Jews at Beroea were of a nobler disposition than those in Thessalonica, for they very readily received the Message, and day after day searched the Scriptures to see whether it was as Paul stated.

wmth@Acts:17:13 @ As soon, however, as the Jews of Thessalonica learnt that God's Message had been proclaimed by Paul at Beroea, they came there also, and incited the mob to a riot.

wmth@Acts:17:19 @ Then they took him and brought him up to the Areopagus, asking him, »May we be told what this new teaching of yours is?

wmth@Acts:17:20 @ For the things you are saying sound strange to us. We should therefore like to be told exactly what they mean.«

wmth@Acts:17:27 @ that they might seek God, if perhaps they could grope for Him and find Him. Yes, though He is not far from any one of us.

wmth@Acts:17:32 @ When they heard Paul speak of a resurrection of dead men, some began to scoff. But others said, »We will hear you again on that subject.«

wmth@Acts:18:13 @ »This man,« they said, »is inducing people to offer unlawful worship to God.«

wmth@Acts:18:19 @ They put in at Ephesus, and there Paul left his companions behind. As for himself, he went to the synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.

wmth@Acts:18:20 @ When they asked him to remain longer he did not consent,

wmth@Acts:19:2 @ »Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you first believed?« he asked them. »No,« they replied, »we did not even hear that there is a Holy Spirit.«

wmth@Acts:19:3 @ »Into what then were you baptized?« he asked. »Into John's baptism,« they replied.

wmth@Acts:19:5 @ On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus;

wmth@Acts:19:6 @ and when Paul laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began to speak in tongues and to prophesy.

wmth@Acts:19:7 @ They numbered in all about twelve men.

wmth@Acts:19:12 @ Towels or aprons, for instance, which Paul had handled used to be carried to the sick, and they recovered from their ailments, or the evil spirits left them.

wmth@Acts:19:16 @ And the man in whom the evil spirit was sprang on two of them, over-mastered them both, and treated them with such violence, that they fled from the house stripped of their clothes and wounded.

wmth@Acts:19:17 @ All the people of Ephesus, Jews as well as Greeks, came to know of this. There was widespread terror, and they began to hold the name of the Lord Jesus in high honour.

wmth@Acts:19:26 @ and you see and hear that, not in Ephesus only but throughout almost the whole province of Asia, this fellow Paul has led away a vast number of people by inducing them to believe that they are not gods at all that are made by men's hands.

wmth@Acts:19:28 @ After listening to this harangue, they became furiously angry and kept calling out, »Great is the Ephesian Diana!«

wmth@Acts:19:29 @ The riot and uproar spread through the whole city, till at last with one accord they rushed into the Theatre, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, two Macedonians who were fellow travellers with Paul.

wmth@Acts:19:32 @ The people, meanwhile, kept shouting, some one thing and some another; for the assembly was all uproar and confusion, and the greater part had no idea why they had come together.

wmth@Acts:19:34 @ No sooner, however, did they see that he was a Jew, than there arose from them all one roar of shouting, lasting about two hours. »Great is the Ephesian Diana,« they said.

wmth@Acts:20:12 @ They had taken the lad home alive, and were greatly comforted.

wmth@Acts:20:37 @ and with loud lamentation they all threw their arms round his neck, and kissed him lovingly,

wmth@Acts:20:38 @ grieved above all things at his having told them that after that day they were no longer to see his face. And they went with him to the ship.

wmth@Acts:21:4 @ Having searched for the disciples and found them, we stayed at Tyre for seven days; and, taught by the Spirit, they repeatedly urged Paul not to proceed to Jerusalem.

wmth@Acts:21:6 @ we took leave of one another; and we went on board, while they returned home.

wmth@Acts:21:20 @ And they, when they had heard his statement, gave the glory to God. Then they said, »You see, brother, how many tens of thousands of Jews there are among those who have accepted the faith, and they are all zealous upholders of the Law.

wmth@Acts:21:21 @ Now what they have been repeatedly told about you is that you teach all the Jews among the Gentiles to abandon Moses, and that you forbid them to circumcise their children or observe old-established customs.

wmth@Acts:21:28 @ They laid hands on him, crying out, »Men of Israel, help! help! This is the man who goes everywhere preaching to everybody against the Jewish people and the Law and this place. And besides, he has even brought Gentiles into the Temple and has desecrated this holy place.«

wmth@Acts:21:31 @ But while they were trying to kill Paul, word was taken up to the Tribune in command of the battalion, that all Jerusalem was in a ferment.

wmth@Acts:21:32 @ He instantly sent for a few soldiers and their officers, and came down among the people with all speed. At the sight of the Tribune and the troops they ceased beating Paul.

wmth@Acts:22:2 @ And on hearing him address them in Hebrew, they kept all the more quiet; and he said,

wmth@Acts:22:9 @ »Now the men who were with me, though they saw the light, did not hear the words of Him who spoke to me.«

wmth@Acts:22:18 @ I saw Jesus, and He said to me, »`Make haste and leave Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about Me.'

wmth@Acts:22:22 @ Until they heard this last statement the people listened to Paul, but now with a roar of disapproval they cried out, »Away with such a fellow from the earth! He ought not to be allowed to live.«

wmth@Acts:22:23 @ And when they continued their furious shouts, throwing their clothes into the air and flinging dust about,

wmth@Acts:22:24 @ the Tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks, and be examined by flogging, in order to ascertain the reason why they thus cried out against him.

wmth@Acts:22:25 @ But, when they had tied him up with the straps, Paul said to the Captain who stood by, »Does the Law permit you to flog a Roman citizen–and one too who is uncondemned?«

wmth@Acts:23:12 @ Now, when daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and solemnly swore not to eat or drink till they had killed Paul.

wmth@Acts:23:14 @ They went to the High Priests and Elders and said to them, »We have bound ourselves under a heavy curse to take no food till we have killed Paul.

wmth@Acts:23:21 @ I beg you not to comply; for more than forty men among them are lying in wait for him, who have solemnly vowed that they will neither eat nor drink till they have assassinated him; and even now they are ready, in anticipation of receiving that promise of you.«

wmth@Acts:23:27 @ This man Paul had been seized by the Jews, and they were on the point of killing him, when I came upon them with the troops and rescued him, for I had been informed that he was a Roman citizen.

wmth@Acts:23:28 @ And, wishing to know with certainty the offense of which they were accusing him, I brought him down into their Sanhedrin,

wmth@Acts:23:30 @ But now that I have received information of an intended attack upon him, I immediately send him to you, directing his accusers also to state before you the case they have against him.«

wmth@Acts:23:33 @ and, the cavalry having reached Caesarea and delivered the letter to the Governor, they brought Paul also to him.

wmth@Acts:24:1 @ Five days after this, Ananias the High Priest came down to Caesarea with a number of Elders and a pleader called Tertullus. They stated to the Governor the case against Paul.

wmth@Acts:24:12 @ and that neither in the Temple nor in the synagogues, nor anywhere in the city, did they find me disputing with any opponent or collecting a crowd about me.

wmth@Acts:24:13 @ Nor can they prove the charges which they are now bringing against me.

wmth@Acts:24:14 @ But this I confess to you–that in the way which they style a heresy, I worship the God of our forefathers, believing everything that is taught in the Law or is written in the Prophets,

wmth@Acts:24:18 @ While I was busy about these, they found me in the Temple purified, with no crowd around me and no uproar; but there were certain Jews from the province of Asia.

wmth@Acts:24:19 @ They ought to have been here before you, and to have been my prosecutors, if they have any charge to bring against me.

wmth@Acts:24:20 @ Or let these men themselves say what misdemeanour they found me guilty of when I stood before the Sanhedrin,

wmth@Acts:25:3 @ asking it as a favour, to Paul's prejudice–to have him brought to Jerusalem. They were planning an ambush to kill him on the way.

wmth@Acts:25:7 @ Upon Paul's arrival, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood round him, and brought many grave charges against him which they were unable to substantiate.

wmth@Acts:25:18 @ But, when his accusers stood up, they did not charge him with the misdemeanours of which I had been suspecting him.

wmth@Acts:25:19 @ But they quarrelled with him about certain matters connected with their own religion, and about one Jesus who had died, but –so Paul persistently maintained– is now alive.

wmth@Acts:26:5 @ For they all know me of old –if they would but testify to the fact– how, being an adherent of the strictest sect of our religion, my life was that of a Pharisee.

wmth@Acts:26:10 @ And that was how I acted in Jerusalem. Armed with authority received from the High Priests I shut up many of God's people in various prisons, and when they were about to be put to death I gave my vote against them.

wmth@Acts:26:18 @ that they may turn from darkness to light and from the obedience to Satan to God, in order to receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified through faith in Me.'

wmth@Acts:26:20 @ but I proceeded to preach first to the people in Damascus, and then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and to the Gentiles, that they must repent and turn to God, and live lives consistent with such repentance.

wmth@Acts:26:31 @ and, having withdrawn, they talked to one another and said, »This man is doing nothing for which he deserves death or imprisonment.«

wmth@Acts:27:1 @ Now when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they handed over Paul and a few other prisoners into the custody of Julius, a Captain of the Augustan battalion;

wmth@Acts:27:12 @ and as the harbour was inconvenient for wintering in, the majority were in favour of putting out to sea, to try whether they could get to Phoenix –a harbour on the coast of Crete facing north-east and south-east– to winter there.

wmth@Acts:27:13 @ And a light breeze from the south sprang up, so that they supposed they were now sure of their purpose. So weighing anchor they ran along the coast of Crete, hugging the shore.

wmth@Acts:27:17 @ and, after hoisting it on board, they used frapping-cables to undergird the ship, and, as they were afraid of being driven on the Syrtis quicksands, they lowered the gear and lay to.

wmth@Acts:27:18 @ But, as the storm was still violent, the next day they began to lighten the ship;

wmth@Acts:27:19 @ and, on the third day, with their own hands they threw the ship's spare gear overboard.

wmth@Acts:27:21 @ When for a long time they had taken but little food, Paul, standing up among them, said, »Sirs, you ought to have listened to me and not have sailed from Crete. You would then have escaped this suffering and loss.

wmth@Acts:27:28 @ So they hove the lead and found twenty fathoms of water; and after a short time they hove again and found fifteen fathoms.

wmth@Acts:27:29 @ Then for fear of possibly running on rocks, they threw out four anchors from the stern and waited impatiently for daylight.

wmth@Acts:27:30 @ The sailors, however, wanted to make their escape from the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they were going to lay out anchors from the bow.

wmth@Acts:27:36 @ This raised the spirits of all, and they too took food.

wmth@Acts:27:38 @ After eating a hearty meal they lightened the ship by throwing the wheat overboard.

wmth@Acts:27:39 @ When daylight came, they tried in vain to recognise the coast. But an inlet with a sandy beach attracted their attention, and now their object was, if possible, to run the ship aground in this inlet.

wmth@Acts:27:40 @ So they cut away the anchors and left them in the sea, unloosing at the same time the bands which secured the paddle-rudders. Then, hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

wmth@Acts:27:41 @ But coming to a place where two seas met, they stranded the ship, and her bow sticking fast remained immovable, while the stern began to go to pieces under the heavy hammering of the sea.

wmth@Acts:28:2 @ The strange-speaking natives showed us remarkable kindness, for they lighted a fire and made us all welcome because of the pelting rain and the cold.

wmth@Acts:28:4 @ When the natives saw the creature hanging to his hand, they said to one another, »Beyond doubt this man is a murderer, for, though saved from the sea, unerring Justice does not permit him to live.«

wmth@Acts:28:6 @ They expected him soon to swell with inflammation or suddenly fall down dead; but, after waiting a long time and seeing no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

wmth@Acts:28:10 @ They also loaded us with honours, and when at last we sailed they put supplies on board for us.

wmth@Acts:28:17 @ After one complete day he invited the leading men among the Jews to meet him; and, when they were come together, he said to them, »As for me, brethren, although I had done nothing prejudicial to our people or contrary to the customs of our forefathers, I was handed over as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the power of the Romans.

wmth@Acts:28:18 @ They, after they had sharply questioned me, were willing to set me at liberty, because they found no offence in me for which I deserve to die.

wmth@Acts:28:21 @ »For our part,« they replied, »we have not received any letters from Judaea about you, nor have any of our countrymen come here and reported or stated anything to your disadvantage.

wmth@Acts:28:23 @ So they arranged a day with him and came to him in considerable numbers at the house of the friends who were entertaining him. And then, with solemn earnestness, he explained to them the subject of the Kingdom of God, endeavouring from morning till evening to convince them about Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.

wmth@Acts:28:25 @ Unable to agree among themselves, they at last left him, but not before Paul had spoken a parting word to them, saying, »Right well did the Holy Spirit say to your forefathers through the Prophet Isaiah:

wmth@Acts:28:28 @ »Be fully assured, therefore, that this salvation –God's salvation– has now been sent to the Gentiles, and that they, at any rate, will give heed.«

wmth@Romans:1:21 @ For when they had come to know God, they did not give Him glory as God nor render Him thanks, but they became absorbed in useless discussions, and their senseless minds were darkened.

wmth@Romans:1:29 @ Their hearts overflowed with all sorts of dishonesty, mischief, greed, malice. They were full of envy and murder, and were quarrelsome, crafty, and spiteful.

wmth@Romans:10:3 @ Ignorant of the righteousness which God provides and building their hopes upon a righteousness of their own, they have refused submission to God's righteousness.

wmth@Romans:11:11 @ I ask, however, »Have they stumbled so as to be finally ruined?« No, indeed; but by their lapse salvation has come to the Gentiles in order to arouse the jealousy of the descendants of Israel;

wmth@Romans:15:27 @ Yes, they have kindly done this, and, in fact, it was a debt they owed them. For seeing that the Gentiles have been admitted in to partnership with the Jews in their spiritual blessings, they in turn are under an obligation to render sacred service to the Jews in temporal things.

wmth@Colossians:4:9 @ And with him I send our dear and trusty brother Onesimus, who is one of yourselves. They will inform you of everything here.

wmth@Colossians:4:11 @ Jesus, called Justus, also sends greeting. These three are Hebrew converts. They alone among such have worked loyally with me for the Kingdom of God–they are men who have been a comfort to me.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For when others speak of us they report the reception we had from you, and how you turned from your idols to God, to be bondservants of the true and ever-living God,

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brethren, followed the example of the Churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judaea; seeing that you endured the same ill-treatment at the hands of your countrymen, as they did at the hands of the Jews.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ Those Jewish persecutors killed both the Lord Jesus and the Prophets, and drove us out of their midst. They are displeasing to God, and are the enemies of all mankind;

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ for they still try to prevent our preaching to the Gentiles so that they may find salvation. They thus continually fill up the measure of their own sins, and God's anger in its severest form has overtaken them.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ that none of you might be unnerved by your present trials: for you yourselves know that they are our appointed lot.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ While they are saying »Peace and safety!« then in a moment destruction falls upon them, like birth-pains on a woman who is with child; and escape there is none.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ Unceasing thanks are due from us to God on your behalf, brethren. They are appropriate because your faith is growing greatly, and the love of every one of you for all the others goes on increasing.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:9 @ They will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, being banished from the presence of the Lord and from His glorious majesty,

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and by every kind of wicked deception for those who are on the way to perdition because they did not welcome into their hearts the love of the truth, so that they might be saved.

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ And for this reason God sends them a misleading influence that they may believe the lie;

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ To persons of that sort our injunction –and our command by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ– is that they are to work quietly and eat their own honestly-earned bread.

wmth@1Timothy:1:4 @ and the attention they bestow on mere fables and endless pedigrees, such as lead to controversy rather than to a true stewardship for God, which only exists where there is faith. And I make the same request now.

wmth@1Timothy:1:7 @ They are ambitious to be teachers of the Law, although they do not understand either their own words or what the things are about which they make such confident assertions.

wmth@1Timothy:1:20 @ Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.

wmth@1Timothy:3:10 @ And they must also be well-tried men, and when found to be of unblemished character then let them serve as deacons.

wmth@1Timothy:5:7 @ Press these facts upon them, so that they may live lives free from reproach.

wmth@1Timothy:5:11 @ But the younger widows you must not enrol; for as soon as they begin to chafe against the yoke of Christ, they want to marry,

wmth@1Timothy:5:12 @ and they incur disapproval for having broken their original vow.

wmth@1Timothy:5:13 @ And at the same time they also learn to be idle as they go round from house to house; and they are not only idle, but are gossips also and busybodies, speaking of things that ought not to be spoken of.

wmth@1Timothy:6:2 @ And those who have believing masters should not be wanting in respect towards them because they are their brethren, but should serve them all the more willingly because those who profit by the faithful service rendered are believers and are friends.

wmth@1Timothy:6:5 @ and persistent wranglings on the part of people whose intellects are disordered and they themselves blinded to all knowledge of the truth; who imagine that godliness means gain.

wmth@1Timothy:6:17 @ Impress on those who are rich in the present age that they must not be haughty nor set their hopes on riches –that unstable foundation– but on God who provides us richly with all things for our enjoyment.

wmth@1Timothy:6:18 @ They must be beneficent, rich in noble deeds, open-handed and liberal;

wmth@1Timothy:6:19 @ storing up for themselves that which shall be a solid foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of the Life which is life indeed.

wmth@2Timothy:2:10 @ For this reason I endure all things for the sake of God's own people; so that they also may obtain salvation –even the salvation which is in Christ Jesus– and with it eternal glory.

wmth@2Timothy:2:18 @ In the matter of the truth they have gone astray, saying that the Resurrection is already past, and so they are overthrowing the faith of some.

wmth@2Timothy:2:26 @ and recover sober-mindedness and freedom from the Devil's snare, though they are now entrapped by him to do his will.

wmth@2Timothy:3:2 @ For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, profane. They will be disobedient to parents, thankless, irreligious,

wmth@2Timothy:3:3 @ destitute of natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers. They will have no self-control, but will be brutal, opposed to goodness,

wmth@2Timothy:3:4 @ treacherous, headstrong, self-important. They will love pleasure instead of loving God,

wmth@2Timothy:3:8 @ And just as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also these false teachers withstand the truth–being, as they are, men of debased intellects, and of no real worth so far as faith is concerned.

wmth@2Timothy:3:9 @ But they will have no further success; for their folly will be as clearly manifest to all men, as that of the opponents of Moses came to be.

wmth@2Timothy:4:3 @ For a time is coming when they will not tolerate wholesome instruction, but, wanting to have their ears tickled, they will find a multitude of teachers to satisfy their own fancies;

wmth@Titus:1:11 @ You must stop the mouths of such men, for they overthrow the faith of whole families, teaching what they ought not, just for the sake of making money.

wmth@Titus:1:13 @ This testimony is true. Therefore sternly denounce them, that they may be robust in their faith,

wmth@Titus:1:16 @ They profess to know God; but in their actions they disown Him, and are detestable and disobedient men, and for any good work are utterly useless.

wmth@Titus:2:3 @ In the same way exhort aged women to let their conduct be such as becomes consecrated persons. They must not be slanderers nor enslaved to wine-drinking. They must be teachers of what is right.

wmth@Titus:2:4 @ They should school the young women to be affectionate to their husbands and to their children, to be sober-minded, pure in their lives,

wmth@Titus:3:1 @ Remind people that they must submit to the rulers who are in authority over them; that they must obey the magistrates, be prepared for every right action,

wmth@Titus:3:9 @ But hold yourself aloof from foolish controversies and pedigrees and discussions and wrangling about the Law, for they are useless and vain.

wmth@Titus:3:13 @ Help Zenas the lawyer forward on his journey with special care, and Apollos, so that they may have all they require.

wmth@Titus:3:14 @ And let our people too learn to set a good example in following honest occupations for the supply of their necessities, so that they may not live useless lives.

wmth@Hebrews:3:10 @ Therefore I was greatly grieved with that generation, and I said, `They are ever going astray in heart, and have not learnt to know My paths.'

wmth@Hebrews:3:11 @ As I swore in My anger, they shall not be admitted to My rest« –

wmth@Hebrews:3:16 @ For who were they that heard, and yet provoked God? Was it not the whole of the people who had come out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses?

wmth@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did He swear that they should not be admitted to His rest, if it was not to those who were disobedient?

wmth@Hebrews:3:19 @ And so we see that it was owing to lack of faith that they could not be admitted.

wmth@Hebrews:4:2 @ For Good News has been brought to us as truly as to them; but the message they heard failed to benefit them, because they were not one in faith with those who gave heed to it.

wmth@Hebrews:6:6 @ it is impossible, I say, to keep bringing them back to a new repentance, for, to their own undoing, they are repeatedly crucifying the Son of God afresh and exposing Him to open shame.

wmth@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if the crowning blessing was attainable by means of the Levitical priesthood –for as resting on this foundation the people received the Law, to which they are still subject– what further need was there for a Priest of a different kind to be raised up belonging to the order of Melchizedek instead of being said to belong to the order of Aaron?

wmth@Hebrews:7:23 @ And they have been appointed priests many in number, because death prevents their continuance in office:

wmth@Hebrews:9:9 @ And this is a figure –for the time now present– answering to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, unable though they are to give complete freedom from sin to him who ministers.

wmth@Hebrews:10:1 @ For, since the Law exhibits only an outline of the blessings to come and not a perfect representation of the things themselves, the priests can never, by repeating the same sacrifices which they continually offer year after year, give complete freedom from sin to those who draw near.

wmth@Hebrews:11:13 @ All these died in the possession of faith. They had not received the promised blessings, but had seen them from a distance and had greeted them, and had acknowledged themselves to be foreigners and strangers here on earth;

wmth@Hebrews:11:14 @ for men who acknowledge this make it manifest that they are seeking elsewhere a country of their own.

wmth@Hebrews:11:15 @ And if they had cherished the remembrance of the country they had left, they would have found an opportunity to return;

wmth@Hebrews:11:23 @ Through faith the child Moses was hid for three months by his parents, because they saw his rare beauty; and the king's edict had no terror for them.

wmth@Hebrews:11:29 @ Through faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing over dry land, but the Egyptians, when they tried to do the same, were swallowed up.

wmth@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received back their dear ones alive from the dead; and others were put to death with torture, refusing the deliverance offered to them–that they might secure a better resurrection.

wmth@Hebrews:11:37 @ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried by temptation, they were killed with the sword. They went from place to place in sheepskins or goatskins, enduring want, oppression and cruelty.

wmth@Hebrews:11:38 @ (They were men of whom the world was not worthy.) They wandered across deserts and mountains, or hid themselves in caves and in holes in the ground.

wmth@Hebrews:11:40 @ for God had provided for them and us something better, so that apart from us they were not to attain to full blessedness.

wmth@Hebrews:12:10 @ It is true that they disciplined us for a few years according as they thought fit; but He does it for our certain good, in order that we may become sharers in His own holy character.

wmth@Hebrews:12:20 @ For they could not endure the order which had been given,

wmth@Hebrews:12:25 @ Be careful not to refuse to listen to Him who is speaking to you. For if they of old did not escape unpunished when they refused to listen to him who spoke on earth, much less shall we escape who turn a deaf ear to Him who now speaks from Heaven.

wmth@Hebrews:13:7 @ Remember your former leaders–it was they who brought you God's Message. Bear in mind how they ended their lives, and imitate their faith.

wmth@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and be submissive to them. For they are keeping watch over your souls as those who will have to give account; that they may do this with joy and not with lamentation. For that would be of no advantage to you.

wmth@James:2:6 @ But have put dishonour upon the poor man. Yet is it not the rich who grind you down? Are not they the very people who drag you into the Law courts? –

wmth@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, »I wish you well; keep yourselves warm and well fed,« and yet you do not give them what they need; what is the use of that?

wmth@James:3:4 @ So too with ships, great as they are, and often driven along by strong gales, yet they can be steered with a very small rudder in whichever direction the caprice of the man at the helm chooses.

wmth@James:5:11 @ Remember that we call those blessed who endured what they did. You have also heard of Job's patient endurance, and have seen the issue of the Lord's dealings with him–how full of tenderness and pity the Lord is.

wmth@James:5:15 @ And the prayer of faith will restore the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up to health; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven.

wmth@1Peter:1:11 @ They were eager to know the time which the Spirit of Christ within them kept indicating, or the characteristics of that time, when they solemnly made known beforehand the sufferings that were to come upon Christ and the glories which would follow.

wmth@1Peter:1:12 @ To them it was revealed that they were serving not themselves but you, when they foretold the very things which have now been openly declared to you by those who, having been taught by the Holy Spirit which had been sent from Heaven, brought you the Good News. Angels long to stoop and look into these things.

wmth@1Peter:2:8 @ and Their foot strikes against it because they are disobedient to God's Message, and to this they were appointed.

wmth@1Peter:2:12 @ Live honourable lives among the Gentiles, in order that, although they now speak against you as evil-doers, they may yet witness your good conduct, and may glorify God on the day of reward and retribution.

wmth@1Peter:2:18 @ Household servants, be submissive to your masters, and show them the utmost respect–not only if they are kind and thoughtful, but also if they are unreasonable.

wmth@1Peter:3:1 @ Married women, in the same way, be submissive to your husbands, so that even if some of them disbelieve the Message, they may, apart from the Message, be won over by the daily life of their wives, after watching your daily life–

wmth@1Peter:3:7 @ Married men, in the same way, live with your wives with a clear recognition of the fact that they are weaker than you. Yet, since you are heirs with them of God's free gift of Life, treat them with honour; so that your prayers may not be hindered.

wmth@1Peter:4:4 @ At this they are astonished–that you do not run into the same excess of profligacy as they do; and they speak abusively of you.

wmth@1Peter:4:5 @ But they will have to give account to Him who stands ready to pronounce judgement on the living and the dead.

wmth@1Peter:4:6 @ For it is with this end in view that the Good News was proclaimed even to some who were dead, that they may be judged, as all mankind will be judged, in the body, but may be living a godly life in the spirit.

wmth@2Peter:1:8 @ If these things exist in you, and continually increase, they prevent your being either idle or unfruitful in advancing towards a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@2Peter:1:9 @ For the man in whom they are lacking is blind and cannot see distant objects, in that he has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his old sins.

wmth@2Peter:1:21 @ for never did any prophecy come by human will, but men sent by God spoke as they were impelled by the Holy Spirit.

wmth@2Peter:2:2 @ And in their immoral ways they will have many eager disciples, through whom religion will be brought into disrepute.

wmth@2Peter:2:3 @ Thirsting for riches, they will trade on you with their canting talk. From of old their judgement has been working itself out, and their destruction has not been slumbering.

wmth@2Peter:2:4 @ For God did not spare angels when they had sinned, but hurling them down to Tartarus consigned them to caves of darkness, keeping them in readiness for judgement.

wmth@2Peter:2:10 @ and especially those who are abandoned to sensuality–craving, as they do, for polluted things, and scorning control. Fool-hardy and self-willed, they do not tremble when speaking evil of glorious beings;

wmth@2Peter:2:11 @ while angels, though greater than they in might and power, do not bring any insulting accusation against such in the presence of the Lord.

wmth@2Peter:2:12 @ But these men, like brute beasts, created (with their natural instincts) only to be captured or destroyed, are abusive in matters of which they are ignorant, and in their corruption will perish,

wmth@2Peter:2:13 @ being doomed to receive a requital for their guilt. They reckon it pleasure to feast daintily in broad daylight. They are spots and blemishes, while feeding luxuriously at their love-feasts, and banqueting with you.

wmth@2Peter:2:14 @ Their very eyes are full of adultery–being eyes which never cease from sin. These men set traps to catch unstedfast souls, their own hearts being well trained in greed. They are fore-doomed to God's curse!

wmth@2Peter:2:15 @ Forsaking the straight road, they have gone astray, having eagerly followed in the steps of Balaam, the son of Beor, who was bent on securing the wages of unrighteousness.

wmth@2Peter:2:18 @ For, while they pour out their frivolous and arrogant talk, they use earthly cravings –every kind of immorality– as a bait to entrap men who are just escaping from the influence of those who live in error.

wmth@2Peter:2:19 @ And they promise them freedom, although they are themselves the slaves of what is corrupt. For a man is the slave of any one by whom he has been worsted in fight.

wmth@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would have been better for them not to have fully known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandments in which they were instructed.

wmth@2Peter:3:4 @ and, asking, »What has become of His promised Return? For from the time our forefathers fell asleep all things continue as they have been ever since the creation of the world.«

wmth@2Peter:3:5 @ For they are wilfully blind to the fact that there were heavens which existed of old, and an earth, the latter arising out of water and extending continuously through water, by the command of God;

wmth@2Peter:3:16 @ That is what he says in all his letters, when speaking in them of these things. In those letters there are some statements hard to understand, which ill-taught and unprincipled people pervert, just as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own ruin.

wmth@1John:2:16 @ For the things in the world –the cravings of the earthly nature, the cravings of the eyes, the show and pride of life– they all come, not from the Father, but from the world.

wmth@1John:2:19 @ They have gone forth from our midst, but they did not really belong to us; for had they belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they left us that it might be manifest that professed believers do not all belong to us.

wmth@1John:4:1 @ Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but put the spirits to the test to see whether they are from God; for many false teachers have gone out into the world.

wmth@1John:4:5 @ They are the world's children, and so their language is that of the world, and the world listens to them. We are God's children.

wmth@3John:1:5 @ My dear friend, you are acting faithfully in all your behaviour towards the brethren, even when they are strangers to you.

wmth@3John:1:6 @ They have testified, in the presence of the Church, to your love; and you will do well to help them on their journey in a manner worthy of your fellowship with God.

wmth@3John:1:7 @ For it is for Christ that they have gone forth, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

wmth@Jude:1:7 @ So also Sodom and Gomorrah –and the neighboring towns in the same manner– having been guilty of gross fornication and having gone astray in pursuit of unnatural vice, are now before us as a specimen of the fire of the Ages in the punishment which they are undergoing.

wmth@Jude:1:8 @ Yet in just the same way these dreamers also pollute the body, while they set authority at naught and speak evil of dignities.

wmth@Jude:1:10 @ Yet these men are abusive in matters of which they know nothing, and in things which, like the brutes, they understand instinctively–in all these they corrupt themselves.

wmth@Jude:1:11 @ Alas for them; for they have followed in the steps of Cain; for the sake of gain they have rushed on headlong in the evil ways of Balaam; and have perished in rebellion like that of Korah!

wmth@Jude:1:15 @ and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly deeds which in their ungodliness they have committed, and of all the hard words which they, ungodly sinners as they are, have spoken against Him.«

wmth@Jude:1:16 @ These men are murmurers, ever bemoaning their lot. Their lives are guided by their evil passions, and their mouths are full of big, boastful words, while they treat individual men with admiring reverence for the sake of the advantage they can gain.

wmth@Jude:1:18 @ how they declared to you, »In the last times there shall be scoffers, obeying only their own ungodly passions.«

wmth@Jude:1:19 @ These are those who cause divisions. They are men of the world, wholly unspiritual.

wmth@Jude:1:22 @ Some, when they argue with you, you must endeavor to convince;

wmth@Revelation:2:2 @ I know your doings and your toil and patient suffering. And I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, but have put to the test those who say that they themselves are Apostles but are not, and you have found them to be liars.

wmth@Revelation:2:9 @ Your sufferings I know, and your poverty –but you are rich– and the evil name given you by those who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but are Satan's synagogue.

wmth@Revelation:2:20 @ Yet I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and by her teaching leads astray My servants, so that they commit fornication and eat what has been sacrificed to idols.

wmth@Revelation:2:22 @ I tell you that I am about to cast her upon a bed of sickness, and I will severely afflict those who commit adultery with her, unless they repent of conduct such as hers.

wmth@Revelation:2:24 @ But to you, the rest of you in Thyateira, all who do not hold this teaching and are not the people who have learnt the »deep things,« as they call them (the deep things of Satan!) –to you I say that I lay no other burden on you.

wmth@Revelation:3:4 @ Yet you have in Sardis a few who have not soiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white; for they are worthy.

wmth@Revelation:3:9 @ I will cause some belonging to Satan's synagogue who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but are liars–I will make them come and fall at your feet and know for certain that I have loved you.

wmth@Revelation:4:8 @ And each of the four living creatures had six wings, and in every direction, and within, are full of eyes; and day after day, and night after night, they never cease saying, »Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, the Ruler of all, who wast and art and evermore shalt be.«

wmth@Revelation:4:10 @ the twenty-four Elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives until the Ages of the Ages, and they cast their wreaths down in front of the throne,

wmth@Revelation:5:10 @ And hast formed them into a Kingdom to be priests to our God, And they reign over the earth.«

wmth@Revelation:5:12 @ and in loud voices they were singing, »It is fitting that the Lamb which has been offered in sacrifice should receive all power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.«

wmth@Revelation:6:9 @ When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw at the foot of the altar the souls of those whose lives had been sacrificed because of the word of God and of the testimony which they had given.

wmth@Revelation:6:10 @ And now in loud voices they cried out, saying, »How long, O Sovereign Lord, the holy One and the true, dost Thou delay judgment and the taking of vengeance upon the inhabitants of the earth for our blood?«

wmth@Revelation:6:11 @ And there was given to each of them a long white robe, and they were bidden to wait patiently for a short time longer, until the full number of their fellow bondservants should also complete–namely of their brethren who were soon to be killed just as they had been.

wmth@Revelation:6:16 @ while they called to the mountains and the rocks, saying, »Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne and from the anger of the Lamb;

wmth@Revelation:7:4 @ When the sealing was finished, I heard how many were sealed out of the tribes of the descendants of Israel. They were 144,000.

wmth@Revelation:7:10 @ In loud voices they were exclaiming, »It is to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb, that we owe our salvation!«

wmth@Revelation:7:11 @ All the angels were standing in a circle round the throne and round the Elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces in front of the throne and worshipped God.

wmth@Revelation:7:12 @ »Even so!« they cried:»The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanks and the honor and the power and the might are to be ascribed to our God, until the Ages of the Ages! Even so!«

wmth@Revelation:7:13 @ Then, addressing me, one of the Elders said, »Who are these people clothed in the long white robes? And where have they come from?«

wmth@Revelation:7:14 @ »My lord, you know,« I replied. »They are those,« he said, »who have just passed through the great distress, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

wmth@Revelation:9:4 @ And they were forbidden to injure the herbage of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree. They were only to injure human beings–those who have not the seal of God on their foreheads.

wmth@Revelation:9:7 @ The appearance of the locusts was like that of horses equipped for war. On their heads they had wreaths which looked like gold.

wmth@Revelation:9:8 @ Their faces seemed human and they had hair like women's hair, but their teeth resembled those of lions.

wmth@Revelation:9:9 @ They had breast-plates which seemed to be made of steel; and the noise caused by their wings was like that of a vast number of horses and chariots hurrying into battle.

wmth@Revelation:9:10 @ They had tails like those of scorpions, and also stings; and in their tails lay their power of injuring mankind for five months.

wmth@Revelation:9:15 @ And the four angels who had been kept in readiness for that hour, day, month, and year, were set at liberty, so that they might kill a third part of mankind.

wmth@Revelation:9:19 @ For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; their tails being like serpents, and having heads, and it is with them that they inflict injury.

wmth@Revelation:9:20 @ But the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues, did not even then repent and leave the things they had made, so as to cease worshipping the demons, and the idols of gold and silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear, nor move.
