nasb@Matthew:1:1 @The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham-

nasb@Matthew:1:2 @Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.

nasb@Matthew:1:3 @Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram.

nasb@Matthew:1:4 @Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon.

nasb@Matthew:1:5 @Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse.

nasb@Matthew:1:6 @Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah.

nasb@Matthew:1:7 @Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa.

nasb@Matthew:1:8 @Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah.

nasb@Matthew:1:9 @Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.

nasb@Matthew:1:10 @Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah.

nasb@Matthew:1:11 @Josiah became the father of Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

nasb@Matthew:1:12 @After the deportation to Babylon- Jeconiah became the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel.

nasb@Matthew:1:13 @Zerubbabel was the father of Abihud, Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor.

nasb@Matthew:1:14 @Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud.

nasb@Matthew:1:15 @Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob.

nasb@Matthew:1:16 @Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah.

nasb@Matthew:1:17 @So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.

nasb@Matthew:1:18 @Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows- when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Matthew:1:19 @And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly.

nasb@Matthew:1:20 @But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, " Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Matthew:1:21" @She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."

nasb@Matthew:1:22 @Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet-

nasb@Matthew:1:23" @ BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL," which translated means, " GOD WITH US."

nasb@Matthew:1:24 @And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife,

nasb@Matthew:2:1 @but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.

nasb@Matthew:2:10 @When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.

nasb@Matthew:2:11 @After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

nasb@Matthew:2:12 @And having been warned by God in a dream not to return to Herod, the magi left for their own country by another way.

nasb@Matthew:2:13 @Now when they had gone, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to destroy Him."

nasb@Matthew:2:14 @So Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and left for Egypt.

nasb@Matthew:2:15 @He remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet- " OUT OF EGYPT I CALLED MY SON."

nasb@Matthew:2:16 @Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged, and sent and slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the magi.

nasb@Matthew:2:17 @Then what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled-

nasb@Matthew:2:18" @ A VOICE WAS HEARD IN RAMAH, WEEPING AND GREAT MOURNING, RACHEL WEEPING FOR HER CHILDREN; AND SHE REFUSED TO BE COMFORTED, BECAUSE THEY WERE NO MORE."

nasb@Matthew:2:19 @But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, and said,

nasb@Matthew:2:21 @So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.

nasb@Matthew:2:10" @The axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

nasb@Matthew:2:11" @As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

nasb@Matthew:2:12" @His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

nasb@Matthew:2:13 @Then Jesus arrived from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him.

nasb@Matthew:2:14 @But John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?"

nasb@Matthew:2:15 @But Jesus answering said to him, "Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he permitted Him.

nasb@Matthew:2:16 @After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him,

nasb@Matthew:2:17 @and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, " This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased."

nasb@Matthew:3:1 @Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

nasb@Matthew:3:10 @Then Jesus said to him, "Go, Satan! For it is written, ' YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'"

nasb@Matthew:3:11 @Then the devil left Him; and behold, angels came and began to minister to Him.

nasb@Matthew:3:12 @Now when Jesus heard that John had been taken into custody, He withdrew into Galilee;

nasb@Matthew:3:13 @and leaving Nazareth, He came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.

nasb@Matthew:3:14 @This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet-

nasb@Matthew:3:15" @ THE LAND OF ZEBULUN AND THE LAND OF NAPHTALI, BY THE WAY OF THE SEA, BEYOND THE JORDAN, GALILEE OF THE GENTILES--

nasb@Matthew:3:16" @ THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SITTING IN DARKNESS SAW A GREAT LIGHT, AND THOSE WHO WERE SITTING IN THE LAND AND SHADOW OF DEATH, UPON THEM A LIGHT DAWNED."

nasb@Matthew:3:17 @From that time Jesus began to preach and say, " Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

nasb@Matthew:3:18 @Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

nasb@Matthew:3:19 @And He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."

nasb@Matthew:3:21 @Going on from there He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them.

nasb@Matthew:4:1 @When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him.

nasb@Matthew:4:10" @Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:11" @Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

nasb@Matthew:4:12" @Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

nasb@Matthew:4:13" @You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.

nasb@Matthew:4:14" @You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;

nasb@Matthew:4:15 @nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

nasb@Matthew:4:16" @Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:17" @Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.

nasb@Matthew:4:18" @For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

nasb@Matthew:4:19" @Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:21" @ You have heard that the ancients were told, ' YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER' and 'Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.'

nasb@Matthew:4:31" @It was said, ' WHOEVER SENDS HIS WIFE AWAY, LET HIM GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE';

nasb@Matthew:4:41" @Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.

nasb@Matthew:4:10 @' Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:11 @' Give us this day our daily bread.

nasb@Matthew:4:12 @'And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

nasb@Matthew:4:13 @'And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.]'

nasb@Matthew:4:14" @ For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

nasb@Matthew:4:15" @But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.

nasb@Matthew:4:16" @ Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

nasb@Matthew:4:17" @But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face

nasb@Matthew:4:18 @so that your fasting will not be noticed by men, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

nasb@Matthew:4:19" @ Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

nasb@Matthew:4:21 @for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

nasb@Matthew:4:31" @Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing?'

nasb@Matthew:4:10" @Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?

nasb@Matthew:4:11" @If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!

nasb@Matthew:4:12" @In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

nasb@Matthew:4:13" @ Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.

nasb@Matthew:4:14" @For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

nasb@Matthew:4:15" @Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

nasb@Matthew:4:16" @You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?

nasb@Matthew:4:17" @So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.

nasb@Matthew:4:18" @A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.

nasb@Matthew:4:19" @ Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

nasb@Matthew:4:21" @ Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.

nasb@Matthew:5:1 @When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

nasb@Matthew:5:10 @Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, "Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.

nasb@Matthew:5:11" @I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;

nasb@Matthew:5:12 @but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

nasb@Matthew:5:13 @And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed that very moment.

nasb@Matthew:5:14 @When Jesus came into Peter's home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever.

nasb@Matthew:5:15 @He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and waited on Him.

nasb@Matthew:5:16 @When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill.

nasb@Matthew:5:17 @This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet- " HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES."

nasb@Matthew:5:18 @Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, He gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea.

nasb@Matthew:5:19 @Then a scribe came and said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go."

nasb@Matthew:5:21 @Another of the disciples said to Him, "Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father."

nasb@Matthew:5:31 @The demons began to entreat Him, saying, "If You are going to cast us out, send us into the herd of swine."

nasb@Matthew:6:1 @Getting into a boat, Jesus crossed over the sea and came to His own city.

nasb@Matthew:6:10 @Then it happened that as Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples.

nasb@Matthew:6:11 @When the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, " Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?"

nasb@Matthew:6:12 @But when Jesus heard this, He said, "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.

nasb@Matthew:6:13" @But go and learn what this means- ' I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT SACRIFICE,' for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

nasb@Matthew:6:14 @Then the disciples of John came to Him, asking, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?"

nasb@Matthew:6:15 @And Jesus said to them, "The attendants of the bridegroom cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.

nasb@Matthew:6:16" @But no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results.

nasb@Matthew:6:17" @Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and the wineskins are ruined; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."

nasb@Matthew:6:18 @While He was saying these things to them, a synagogue official came and bowed down before Him, and said, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live."

nasb@Matthew:6:19 @Jesus got up and began to follow him, and so did His disciples.

nasb@Matthew:6:21 @for she was saying to herself, "If I only touch His garment, I will get well."

nasb@Matthew:6:31 @But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout all that land.

nasb@Matthew:7:1 @Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

nasb@Matthew:7:10 @or a bag for your journey, or even two coats, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worthy of his support.

nasb@Matthew:7:11" @And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay at his house until you leave that city.

nasb@Matthew:7:12" @As you enter the house, give it your greeting.

nasb@Matthew:7:13" @If the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, take back your blessing of peace.

nasb@Matthew:7:14" @Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.

nasb@Matthew:7:15" @Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

nasb@Matthew:7:16" @ Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.

nasb@Matthew:7:17" @But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the courts and scourge you in their synagogues;

nasb@Matthew:7:18 @and you will even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

nasb@Matthew:7:19" @ But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say.

nasb@Matthew:7:21" @ Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.

nasb@Matthew:7:31" @So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

nasb@Matthew:7:41" @ He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

nasb@Matthew:8:1 @When Jesus had finished giving instructions to His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

nasb@Matthew:8:10" @This is the one about whom it is written, ' BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU, WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY BEFORE YOU.'

nasb@Matthew:8:11" @Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

nasb@Matthew:8:12" @ From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force.

nasb@Matthew:8:13" @For all the prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

nasb@Matthew:8:14" @And if you are willing to accept it, John himself is Elijah who was to come.

nasb@Matthew:8:15" @ He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

nasb@Matthew:8:16" @But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the market places, who call out to the other children,

nasb@Matthew:8:17 @and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.'

nasb@Matthew:8:18" @For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ' He has a demon!'

nasb@Matthew:8:19" @The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds."

nasb@Matthew:8:21" @ Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had occurred in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

nasb@Matthew:9:1 @At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat.

nasb@Matthew:9:10 @And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned Jesus, asking, " Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"--so that they might accuse Him.

nasb@Matthew:9:11 @And He said to them, " What man is there among you who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?

nasb@Matthew:9:12" @ How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."

nasb@Matthew:9:13 @Then He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand!" He stretched it out, and it was restored to normal, like the other.

nasb@Matthew:9:14 @But the Pharisees went out and conspired against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.

nasb@Matthew:9:15 @But Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. Many followed Him, and He healed them all,

nasb@Matthew:9:16 @and warned them not to tell who He was.

nasb@Matthew:9:17 @This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet-

nasb@Matthew:9:18" @ BEHOLD, MY SERVANT WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN; MY BELOVED IN WHOM MY SOUL is WELL-PLEASED; I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT UPON HIM, AND HE SHALL PROCLAIM JUSTICE TO THE GENTILES.

nasb@Matthew:9:19" @ HE WILL NOT QUARREL, NOR CRY OUT; NOR WILL ANYONE HEAR HIS VOICE IN THE STREETS.

nasb@Matthew:9:21" @ AND IN HIS NAME THE GENTILES WILL HOPE."

nasb@Matthew:9:31" @ Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.

nasb@Matthew:9:41" @ The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment, and will condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

nasb@Matthew:10:1 @That day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting by the sea.

nasb@Matthew:10:2 @And large crowds gathered to Him, so He got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd was standing on the beach.

nasb@Matthew:10:3 @And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, "Behold, the sower went out to sow;

nasb@Matthew:10:4 @and as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up.

nasb@Matthew:10:5" @Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil.

nasb@Matthew:10:6" @But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

nasb@Matthew:10:7" @Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out.

nasb@Matthew:10:8" @And others fell on the good soil and yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.

nasb@Matthew:10:9" @ He who has ears, let him hear."

nasb@Matthew:10:10 @And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?"

nasb@Matthew:10:11 @Jesus answered them, " To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.

nasb@Matthew:10:12" @ For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.

nasb@Matthew:10:13" @Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

nasb@Matthew:10:14" @In their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, ' YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING, BUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND; YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE;

nasb@Matthew:10:15 @FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL, WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES, OTHERWISE THEY WOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES, HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN, AND I WOULD HEAL THEM.'

nasb@Matthew:10:16" @ But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.

nasb@Matthew:10:17" @For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

nasb@Matthew:10:18" @ Hear then the parable of the sower.

nasb@Matthew:10:19" @When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road.

nasb@Matthew:10:20" @The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

nasb@Matthew:10:21 @yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away.

nasb@Matthew:10:22" @And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

nasb@Matthew:10:23" @And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty."

nasb@Matthew:10:24 @Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, " The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

nasb@Matthew:10:25" @But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away.

nasb@Matthew:10:26" @But when the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the tares became evident also.

nasb@Matthew:10:27" @The slaves of the landowner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?'

nasb@Matthew:10:28" @And he said to them, 'An enemy has done this!' The slaves said to him, 'Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?'

nasb@Matthew:10:29" @But he said, 'No; for while you are gathering up the tares, you may uproot the wheat with them.

nasb@Matthew:10:30 @'Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"

nasb@Matthew:10:31 @He presented another parable to them, saying, " The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;

nasb@Matthew:10:32 @and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR come and NEST IN ITS BRANCHES."

nasb@Matthew:10:33 @He spoke another parable to them, " The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened."

nasb@Matthew:10:34 @All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and He did not speak to them without a parable.

nasb@Matthew:10:35 @This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet- " I WILL OPEN MY MOUTH IN PARABLES; I WILL UTTER THINGS HIDDEN SINCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD."

nasb@Matthew:10:36 @Then He left the crowds and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him and said, " Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field."

nasb@Matthew:10:37 @And He said, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,

nasb@Matthew:10:38 @and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one;

nasb@Matthew:10:39 @and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels.

nasb@Matthew:10:40" @So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age.

nasb@Matthew:10:41" @ The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness,

nasb@Matthew:10:43" @ Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

nasb@Matthew:10:44" @ The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

nasb@Matthew:10:45" @Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls,

nasb@Matthew:10:46 @and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.

nasb@Matthew:10:47" @Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea, and gathering fish of every kind;

nasb@Matthew:10:48 @and when it was filled, they drew it up on the beach; and they sat down and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away.

nasb@Matthew:10:49" @So it will be at the end of the age; the angels will come forth and take out the wicked from among the righteous,

nasb@Matthew:10:50 @and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

nasb@Matthew:10:51" @Have you understood all these things?" They said to Him, "Yes."

nasb@Matthew:10:52 @And Jesus said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure things new and old."

nasb@Matthew:10:53 @When Jesus had finished these parables, He departed from there.

nasb@Matthew:10:54 @He came to His hometown and began teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?

nasb@Matthew:10:55" @Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

nasb@Matthew:10:56" @And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"

nasb@Matthew:10:57 @And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, " A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household."

nasb@Matthew:10:58 @And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.

nasb@Matthew:11:1 @At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus,

nasb@Matthew:11:2 @and said to his servants, " This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him."

nasb@Matthew:11:3 @For when Herod had John arrested, he bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.

nasb@Matthew:11:4 @For John had been saying to him, " It is not lawful for you to have her."

nasb@Matthew:11:5 @Although Herod wanted to put him to death, he feared the crowd, because they regarded John as a prophet.

nasb@Matthew:11:6 @But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod,

nasb@Matthew:11:7 @so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.

nasb@Matthew:11:8 @Having been prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."

nasb@Matthew:11:9 @Although he was grieved, the king commanded it to be given because of his oaths, and because of his dinner guests.

nasb@Matthew:11:10 @He sent and had John beheaded in the prison.

nasb@Matthew:11:11 @And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

nasb@Matthew:11:12 @His disciples came and took away the body and buried it; and they went and reported to Jesus.

nasb@Matthew:11:13 @Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the people heard of this, they followed Him on foot from the cities.

nasb@Matthew:11:14 @When He went ashore, He saw a large crowd, and felt compassion for them and healed their sick.

nasb@Matthew:11:15 @When it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, "This place is desolate and the hour is already late; so send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves."

nasb@Matthew:11:16 @But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away; you give them something to eat!"

nasb@Matthew:11:17 @They said to Him, "We have here only five loaves and two fish."

nasb@Matthew:11:18 @And He said, "Bring them here to Me."

nasb@Matthew:11:19 @Ordering the people to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food, and breaking the loaves He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds,

nasb@Matthew:11:20 @and they all ate and were satisfied. They picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve full baskets.

nasb@Matthew:11:21 @There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children.

nasb@Matthew:11:22 @Immediately He made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away.

nasb@Matthew:11:23 @After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone.

nasb@Matthew:11:24 @But the boat was already a long distance from the land, battered by the waves; for the wind was contrary.

nasb@Matthew:11:25 @And in the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea.

nasb@Matthew:11:26 @When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out in fear.

nasb@Matthew:11:27 @But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, " Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid."

nasb@Matthew:11:28 @Peter said to Him, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water."

nasb@Matthew:11:29 @And He said, "Come!" And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

nasb@Matthew:11:30 @But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!"

nasb@Matthew:11:31 @Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, " You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

nasb@Matthew:11:32 @When they got into the boat, the wind stopped.

nasb@Matthew:11:33 @And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, "You are certainly God's Son!"

nasb@Matthew:11:34 @When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.

nasb@Matthew:11:35 @And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent word into all that surrounding district and brought to Him all who were sick;

nasb@Matthew:11:36 @and they implored Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were cured.

nasb@Matthew:11:15 @Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,

nasb@Matthew:11:2" @Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread."

nasb@Matthew:11:3 @And He answered and said to them, "Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

nasb@Matthew:11:4" @For God said, ' HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER,' and, ' HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH.'

nasb@Matthew:11:5" @But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or mother, "Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God,"

nasb@Matthew:11:6 @he is not to honor his father or his mother.' And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

nasb@Matthew:11:7" @You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you-

nasb@Matthew:11:8 @' THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.

nasb@Matthew:11:9 @'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.'"

nasb@Matthew:11:10 @After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, "Hear and understand.

nasb@Matthew:11:11" @ It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man."

nasb@Matthew:11:12 @Then the disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?"

nasb@Matthew:11:13 @But He answered and said, " Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant shall be uprooted.

nasb@Matthew:11:14" @Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit."

nasb@Matthew:11:15 @Peter said to Him, " Explain the parable to us."

nasb@Matthew:11:16 @Jesus said, "Are you still lacking in understanding also?

nasb@Matthew:11:17" @Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated?

nasb@Matthew:11:18" @But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man.

nasb@Matthew:11:19" @ For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders.

nasb@Matthew:11:20" @These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man."

nasb@Matthew:11:21 @Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the district of Tyre and Sidon.

nasb@Matthew:11:22 @And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed."

nasb@Matthew:11:23 @But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, "Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us."

nasb@Matthew:11:24 @But He answered and said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

nasb@Matthew:11:25 @But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, "Lord, help me!"

nasb@Matthew:11:26 @And He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

nasb@Matthew:11:27 @But she said, "Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."

nasb@Matthew:11:28 @Then Jesus said to her, "O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed at once.

nasb@Matthew:11:29 @Departing from there, Jesus went along by the Sea of Galilee, and having gone up on the mountain, He was sitting there.

nasb@Matthew:11:30 @And large crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and He healed them.

nasb@Matthew:11:31 @So the crowd marveled as they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

nasb@Matthew:11:32 @And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, " I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way."

nasb@Matthew:11:33 @The disciples said to Him, "Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?"

nasb@Matthew:11:34 @And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few small fish."

nasb@Matthew:11:35 @And He directed the people to sit down on the ground;

nasb@Matthew:11:36 @and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.

nasb@Matthew:11:37 @And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large baskets full.

nasb@Matthew:11:38 @And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

nasb@Matthew:11:39 @And sending away the crowds, Jesus got into the boat and came to the region of Magadan.

nasb@Matthew:12:1 @The Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and testing Jesus, they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven.

nasb@Matthew:12:2 @But He replied to them, " When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'

nasb@Matthew:12:3" @And in the morning, 'There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?

nasb@Matthew:12:4" @ An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and a sign will not be given it, except the sign of Jonah." And He left them and went away.

nasb@Matthew:12:5 @And the disciples came to the other side of the sea, but they had forgotten to bring any bread.

nasb@Matthew:12:6 @And Jesus said to them, "Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

nasb@Matthew:12:7 @They began to discuss this among themselves, saying, "He said that because we did not bring any bread."

nasb@Matthew:12:8 @But Jesus, aware of this, said, " You men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves that you have no bread?

nasb@Matthew:12:9" @Do you not yet understand or remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets full you picked up?

nasb@Matthew:12:10" @Or the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many large baskets full you picked up?

nasb@Matthew:12:11" @How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

nasb@Matthew:12:12 @Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

nasb@Matthew:12:13 @Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"

nasb@Matthew:12:14 @And they said, "Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."

nasb@Matthew:12:15 @He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

nasb@Matthew:12:16 @Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

nasb@Matthew:12:17 @And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:12:18" @I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.

nasb@Matthew:12:19" @I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven."

nasb@Matthew:12:20 @Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ.

nasb@Matthew:12:21 @From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day.

nasb@Matthew:12:22 @Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, "God forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen to You."

nasb@Matthew:12:23 @But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but man's."

nasb@Matthew:12:24 @Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.

nasb@Matthew:12:25" @For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

nasb@Matthew:12:26" @For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

nasb@Matthew:12:27" @For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and WILL THEN REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS.

nasb@Matthew:12:28" @Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."

nasb@Matthew:13:1 @Six days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.

nasb@Matthew:13:2 @And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light.

nasb@Matthew:13:3 @And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.

nasb@Matthew:13:4 @Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, I will make three tabernacles here, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

nasb@Matthew:13:5 @While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, " This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!"

nasb@Matthew:13:6 @When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground and were terrified.

nasb@Matthew:13:7 @And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid."

nasb@Matthew:13:8 @And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.

nasb@Matthew:13:9 @As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, " Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."

nasb@Matthew:13:10 @And His disciples asked Him, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

nasb@Matthew:13:11 @And He answered and said, "Elijah is coming and will restore all things;

nasb@Matthew:13:12 @but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."

nasb@Matthew:13:13 @Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist.

nasb@Matthew:13:14 @When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, falling on his knees before Him and saying,

nasb@Matthew:13:15" @Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic and is very ill; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.

nasb@Matthew:13:16" @I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him."

nasb@Matthew:13:17 @And Jesus answered and said, "You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me."

nasb@Matthew:13:18 @And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured at once.

nasb@Matthew:13:19 @Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not drive it out?"

nasb@Matthew:13:20 @And He said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.

nasb@Matthew:13:21 @[" But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."]

nasb@Matthew:13:22 @And while they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men;

nasb@Matthew:13:23 @and they will kill Him, and He will be raised on the third day." And they were deeply grieved.

nasb@Matthew:13:24 @When they came to Capernaum, those who collected the two-drachma tax came to Peter and said, "Does your teacher not pay the two-drachma tax?"

nasb@Matthew:13:25 @He said, "Yes." And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs or poll-tax, from their sons or from strangers?"

nasb@Matthew:13:26 @When Peter said, "From strangers," Jesus said to him, "Then the sons are exempt.

nasb@Matthew:13:27" @However, so that we do not offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for you and Me."

nasb@Matthew:14:1 @At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, " Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

nasb@Matthew:14:2 @And He called a child to Himself and set him before them,

nasb@Matthew:14:3 @and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:14:4" @Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:14:5" @And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me;

nasb@Matthew:14:6 @but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

nasb@Matthew:14:7" @Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!

nasb@Matthew:14:8" @ If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than to have two hands or two feet and be cast into the eternal fire.

nasb@Matthew:14:9" @ If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter life with one eye, than to have two eyes and be cast into the fiery hell.

nasb@Matthew:14:10" @See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:14:11 @[" For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.]

nasb@Matthew:14:12" @What do you think? If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying?

nasb@Matthew:14:13" @If it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.

nasb@Matthew:14:14" @So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish.

nasb@Matthew:14:15" @ If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.

nasb@Matthew:14:16" @But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED.

nasb@Matthew:14:17" @If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

nasb@Matthew:14:18" @Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:14:19" @Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:14:20" @For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst."

nasb@Matthew:14:21 @Then Peter came and said to Him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"

nasb@Matthew:14:22 @Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.

nasb@Matthew:14:23" @For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves.

nasb@Matthew:14:24" @When he had begun to settle them, one who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him.

nasb@Matthew:14:25" @But since he did not have the means to repay, his lord commanded him to be sold, along with his wife and children and all that he had, and repayment to be made.

nasb@Matthew:14:26" @So the slave fell to the ground and prostrated himself before him, saying, 'Have patience with me and I will repay you everything.'

nasb@Matthew:14:27" @And the lord of that slave felt compassion and released him and forgave him the debt.

nasb@Matthew:14:28" @But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii; and he seized him and began to choke him, saying, 'Pay back what you owe.'

nasb@Matthew:14:29" @So his fellow slave fell to the ground and began to plead with him, saying, 'Have patience with me and I will repay you.'

nasb@Matthew:14:30" @But he was unwilling and went and threw him in prison until he should pay back what was owed.

nasb@Matthew:14:31" @So when his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were deeply grieved and came and reported to their lord all that had happened.

nasb@Matthew:14:32" @Then summoning him, his lord said to him, 'You wicked slave, I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me.

nasb@Matthew:14:33 @' Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, in the same way that I had mercy on you?'

nasb@Matthew:14:34" @And his lord, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed him.

nasb@Matthew:14:35" @ My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart."

nasb@Matthew:15:1 @When Jesus had finished these words, He departed from Galilee and came into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan;

nasb@Matthew:15:2 @and large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.

nasb@Matthew:15:3 @Some Pharisees came to Jesus, testing Him and asking, " Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?"

nasb@Matthew:15:4 @And He answered and said, "Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE,

nasb@Matthew:15:5 @and said, ' FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH'?

nasb@Matthew:15:6" @So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."

nasb@Matthew:15:7 @They said to Him, " Why then did Moses command to GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND SEND her AWAY?"

nasb@Matthew:15:8 @He said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way.

nasb@Matthew:15:9" @And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery."

nasb@Matthew:15:10 @The disciples said to Him, "If the relationship of the man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry."

nasb@Matthew:15:11 @But He said to them, " Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been given.

nasb@Matthew:15:12" @For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it."

nasb@Matthew:15:13 @Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

nasb@Matthew:15:14 @But Jesus said, " Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

nasb@Matthew:15:15 @After laying His hands on them, He departed from there.

nasb@Matthew:15:16 @And someone came to Him and said, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?"

nasb@Matthew:15:17 @And He said to him, "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments."

nasb@Matthew:15:18 @Then he said to Him, "Which ones?" And Jesus said, " YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER; YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY; YOU SHALL NOT STEAL; YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS;

nasb@Matthew:15:19 @HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER; and YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

nasb@Matthew:15:20 @The young man said to Him, "All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?"

nasb@Matthew:15:21 @Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

nasb@Matthew:15:22 @But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.

nasb@Matthew:15:23 @And Jesus said to His disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:15:24" @Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

nasb@Matthew:15:25 @When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, "Then who can be saved?"

nasb@Matthew:15:26 @And looking at them Jesus said to them, " With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

nasb@Matthew:15:27 @Then Peter said to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You; what then will there be for us?"

nasb@Matthew:15:28 @And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

nasb@Matthew:15:29" @And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name's sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life.

nasb@Matthew:15:30" @ But many who are first will be last; and the last, first.

nasb@Matthew:15:20" @For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

nasb@Matthew:15:2" @When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius for the day, he sent them into his vineyard.

nasb@Matthew:15:3" @And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the market place;

nasb@Matthew:15:4 @and to those he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' And so they went.

nasb@Matthew:15:5" @Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did the same thing.

nasb@Matthew:15:6" @And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing around; and he said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day long?'

nasb@Matthew:15:7" @They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You go into the vineyard too.'

nasb@Matthew:15:8" @When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last group to the first.'

nasb@Matthew:15:9" @When those hired about the eleventh hour came, each one received a denarius.

nasb@Matthew:15:10" @When those hired first came, they thought that they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius.

nasb@Matthew:15:11" @When they received it, they grumbled at the landowner,

nasb@Matthew:15:12 @saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.'

nasb@Matthew:15:13" @But he answered and said to one of them, ' Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius?

nasb@Matthew:15:14 @'Take what is yours and go, but I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.

nasb@Matthew:15:15 @'Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is my own? Or is your eye envious because I am generous?'

nasb@Matthew:15:16" @So the last shall be first, and the first last."

nasb@Matthew:15:17 @As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the way He said to them,

nasb@Matthew:15:18" @Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death,

nasb@Matthew:15:19 @and will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and scourge and crucify Him, and on the third day He will be raised up."

nasb@Matthew:15:20 @Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him.

nasb@Matthew:15:21 @And He said to her, "What do you wish?" She said to Him, "Command that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit one on Your right and one on Your left."

nasb@Matthew:15:22 @But Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to Him, "We are able."

nasb@Matthew:15:23 @He said to them, " My cup you shall drink; but to sit on My right and on My left, this is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father."

nasb@Matthew:15:24 @And hearing this, the ten became indignant with the two brothers.

nasb@Matthew:15:25 @But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.

nasb@Matthew:15:26" @It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant,

nasb@Matthew:15:27 @and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave;

nasb@Matthew:15:28 @just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

nasb@Matthew:15:29 @As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him.

nasb@Matthew:15:30 @And two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

nasb@Matthew:15:31 @The crowd sternly told them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"

nasb@Matthew:15:32 @And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, "What do you want Me to do for you?"

nasb@Matthew:15:33 @They said to Him, "Lord, we want our eyes to be opened."

nasb@Matthew:15:34 @Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.

nasb@Matthew:16:1 @When they had approached Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

nasb@Matthew:16:2 @saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to Me.

nasb@Matthew:16:3" @If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and immediately he will send them."

nasb@Matthew:16:4 @This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet-

nasb@Matthew:16:5" @ SAY TO THE DAUGHTER OF ZION, 'BEHOLD YOUR KING IS COMING TO YOU, GENTLE, AND MOUNTED ON A DONKEY, EVEN ON A COLT, THE FOAL OF A BEAST OF BURDEN.'"

nasb@Matthew:16:6 @The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them,

nasb@Matthew:16:7 @and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their coats on them; and He sat on the coats.

nasb@Matthew:16:8 @Most of the crowd spread their coats in the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in the road.

nasb@Matthew:16:9 @The crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David; BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Hosanna in the highest!"

nasb@Matthew:16:10 @When He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, "Who is this?"

nasb@Matthew:16:11 @And the crowds were saying, "This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee."

nasb@Matthew:16:12 @And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves.

nasb@Matthew:16:14 @And the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.

nasb@Matthew:16:15 @But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done, and the children who were shouting in the temple, "Hosanna to the Son of David," they became indignant

nasb@Matthew:16:16 @and said to Him, "Do You hear what these children are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes; have you never read, ' OUT OF THE MOUTH OF INFANTS AND NURSING BABIES YOU HAVE PREPARED PRAISE FOR YOURSELF'?"

nasb@Matthew:16:17 @And He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and spent the night there.

nasb@Matthew:16:18 @Now in the morning, when He was returning to the city, He became hungry.

nasb@Matthew:16:19 @Seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it except leaves only; and He said to it, "No longer shall there ever be any fruit from you." And at once the fig tree withered.

nasb@Matthew:16:20 @Seeing this, the disciples were amazed and asked, "How did the fig tree wither all at once?"

nasb@Matthew:16:21 @And Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen.

nasb@Matthew:16:22" @And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."

nasb@Matthew:16:23 @When He entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him while He was teaching, and said, "By what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?"

nasb@Matthew:16:24 @Jesus said to them, "I will also ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.

nasb@Matthew:16:25" @The baptism of John was from what source, from heaven or from men?" And they began reasoning among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say to us, 'Then why did you not believe him?'

nasb@Matthew:16:26" @But if we say, 'From men,' we fear the people; for they all regard John as a prophet."

nasb@Matthew:16:27 @And answering Jesus, they said, "We do not know." He also said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

nasb@Matthew:16:28" @But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.'

nasb@Matthew:16:29" @And he answered, 'I will not'; but afterward he regretted it and went.

nasb@Matthew:16:30" @The man came to the second and said the same thing; and he answered, 'I will, sir'; but he did not go.

nasb@Matthew:16:31" @Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the kingdom of God before you.

nasb@Matthew:16:32" @For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and prostitutes did believe him; and you, seeing this, did not even feel remorse afterward so as to believe him.

nasb@Matthew:16:33" @Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who PLANTED A VINEYARD AND PUT A WALL AROUND IT AND DUG A WINE PRESS IN IT, AND BUILT A TOWER, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.

nasb@Matthew:16:34" @When the harvest time approached, he sent his slaves to the vine-growers to receive his produce.

nasb@Matthew:16:35" @The vine-growers took his slaves and beat one, and killed another, and stoned a third.

nasb@Matthew:16:36" @Again he sent another group of slaves larger than the first; and they did the same thing to them.

nasb@Matthew:16:37" @But afterward he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

nasb@Matthew:16:38" @But when the vine-growers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.'

nasb@Matthew:16:39" @They took him, and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

nasb@Matthew:16:40" @Therefore when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-growers?"

nasb@Matthew:16:41 @They said to Him, "He will bring those wretches to a wretched end, and will rent out the vineyard to other vine-growers who will pay him the proceeds at the proper seasons."

nasb@Matthew:16:42 @Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, ' THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone; THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES'?

nasb@Matthew:16:43" @Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people, producing the fruit of it.

nasb@Matthew:16:44" @And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust."

nasb@Matthew:16:45 @When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard His parables, they understood that He was speaking about them.

nasb@Matthew:16:46 @When they sought to seize Him, they feared the people, because they considered Him to be a prophet.

nasb@Matthew:16:22 @Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying,

nasb@Matthew:16:2" @ The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.

nasb@Matthew:16:3" @And he sent out his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come.

nasb@Matthew:16:4" @Again he sent out other slaves saying, 'Tell those who have been invited, "Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast."'

nasb@Matthew:16:5" @But they paid no attention and went their way, one to his own farm, another to his business,

nasb@Matthew:16:6 @and the rest seized his slaves and mistreated them and killed them.

nasb@Matthew:16:7" @But the king was enraged, and he sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and set their city on fire.

nasb@Matthew:16:8" @Then he said to his slaves, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

nasb@Matthew:16:9 @'Go therefore to the main highways, and as many as you find there, invite to the wedding feast.'

nasb@Matthew:16:10" @Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all they found, both evil and good; and the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests.

nasb@Matthew:16:11" @But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes,

nasb@Matthew:16:12 @and he said to him, ' Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?' And the man was speechless.

nasb@Matthew:16:13" @Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

nasb@Matthew:16:14" @For many are called, but few are chosen."

nasb@Matthew:16:15 @Then the Pharisees went and plotted together how they might trap Him in what He said.

nasb@Matthew:16:16 @And they sent their disciples to Him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any.

nasb@Matthew:16:17" @Tell us then, what do You think? Is it lawful to give a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?"

nasb@Matthew:16:18 @But Jesus perceived their malice, and said, "Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?

nasb@Matthew:16:19" @Show Me the coin used for the poll-tax." And they brought Him a denarius.

nasb@Matthew:16:20 @And He said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?"

nasb@Matthew:16:21 @They said to Him, "Caesar's." Then He said to them, " Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's."

nasb@Matthew:16:22 @And hearing this, they were amazed, and leaving Him, they went away.

nasb@Matthew:16:23 @On that day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Jesus and questioned Him,

nasb@Matthew:16:24 @asking, "Teacher, Moses said, ' IF A MAN DIES HAVING NO CHILDREN, HIS BROTHER AS NEXT OF KIN SHALL MARRY HIS WIFE, AND RAISE UP CHILDREN FOR HIS BROTHER.'

nasb@Matthew:16:25" @Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother;

nasb@Matthew:16:26 @so also the second, and the third, down to the seventh.

nasb@Matthew:16:27" @Last of all, the woman died.

nasb@Matthew:16:28" @In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her."

nasb@Matthew:16:29 @But Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God.

nasb@Matthew:16:30" @For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:16:31" @But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God-

nasb@Matthew:16:32 @' I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."

nasb@Matthew:16:33 @When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

nasb@Matthew:16:34 @But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered themselves together.

nasb@Matthew:16:35 @One of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him,

nasb@Matthew:16:36" @Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?"

nasb@Matthew:16:37 @And He said to him, " ' YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.'

nasb@Matthew:16:38" @This is the great and foremost commandment.

nasb@Matthew:16:39" @The second is like it, ' YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'

nasb@Matthew:16:40" @ On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."

nasb@Matthew:16:41 @Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question-

nasb@Matthew:16:42" @What do you think about the Christ, whose son is He?" They said to Him, " The son of David."

nasb@Matthew:16:43 @He said to them, "Then how does David in the Spirit call Him 'Lord,' saying,

nasb@Matthew:16:44 @' THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES BENEATH YOUR FEET"'?

nasb@Matthew:16:45" @If David then calls Him 'Lord,' how is He his son?"

nasb@Matthew:16:46 @No one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask Him another question.

nasb@Matthew:17:1 @Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples,

nasb@Matthew:17:2 @saying- " The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses;

nasb@Matthew:17:3 @therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them.

nasb@Matthew:17:4" @ They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger.

nasb@Matthew:17:5" @But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments.

nasb@Matthew:17:6" @They love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues,

nasb@Matthew:17:7 @and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called Rabbi by men.

nasb@Matthew:17:8" @But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.

nasb@Matthew:17:9" @Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:17:10" @Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ.

nasb@Matthew:17:11" @ But the greatest among you shall be your servant.

nasb@Matthew:17:12" @ Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.

nasb@Matthew:17:13" @ But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.

nasb@Matthew:17:14 @[" Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation.]

nasb@Matthew:17:15" @Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

nasb@Matthew:17:16" @Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ' Whoever swears by the temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple is obligated.'

nasb@Matthew:17:17" @You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold?

nasb@Matthew:17:18" @And, 'Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing, but whoever swears by the offering on it, he is obligated.'

nasb@Matthew:17:19" @You blind men, which is more important, the offering, or the altar that sanctifies the offering?

nasb@Matthew:17:20" @Therefore, whoever swears by the altar, swears both by the altar and by everything on it.

nasb@Matthew:17:21" @And whoever swears by the temple, swears both by the temple and by Him who dwells within it.

nasb@Matthew:17:22" @And whoever swears by heaven, swears both by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it.

nasb@Matthew:17:23" @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law- justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.

nasb@Matthew:17:24" @You blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!

nasb@Matthew:17:25" @Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence.

nasb@Matthew:17:26" @You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.

nasb@Matthew:17:27" @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.

nasb@Matthew:17:28" @So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

nasb@Matthew:17:29" @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,

nasb@Matthew:17:30 @and say, 'If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.'

nasb@Matthew:17:31" @So you testify against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.

nasb@Matthew:17:32" @Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers.

nasb@Matthew:17:33" @You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of hell?

nasb@Matthew:17:34" @ Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city,

nasb@Matthew:17:35 @so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

nasb@Matthew:17:36" @Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.

nasb@Matthew:17:37" @ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.

nasb@Matthew:17:38" @Behold, your house is being left to you desolate!

nasb@Matthew:17:39" @For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ' BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!'"

nasb@Matthew:18:1 @Jesus came out from the temple and was going away when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him.

nasb@Matthew:18:2 @And He said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down."

nasb@Matthew:18:3 @As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"

nasb@Matthew:18:4 @And Jesus answered and said to them, " See to it that no one misleads you.

nasb@Matthew:18:5" @For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many.

nasb@Matthew:18:6" @You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.

nasb@Matthew:18:7" @For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.

nasb@Matthew:18:8" @ But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

nasb@Matthew:18:9" @ Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

nasb@Matthew:18:10" @At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another.

nasb@Matthew:18:11" @Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.

nasb@Matthew:18:12" @Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold.

nasb@Matthew:18:13" @ But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.

nasb@Matthew:18:14" @This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

nasb@Matthew:18:15" @Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place ( let the reader understand),

nasb@Matthew:18:16 @then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.

nasb@Matthew:18:17" @Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house.

nasb@Matthew:18:18" @Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak.

nasb@Matthew:18:19" @But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

nasb@Matthew:18:20" @But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath.

nasb@Matthew:18:21" @For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.

nasb@Matthew:18:22" @Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.

nasb@Matthew:18:23" @ Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or 'There He is,' do not believe him.

nasb@Matthew:18:24" @For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.

nasb@Matthew:18:25" @Behold, I have told you in advance.

nasb@Matthew:18:26" @So if they say to you, 'Behold, He is in the wilderness,' do not go out, or, 'Behold, He is in the inner rooms,' do not believe them.

nasb@Matthew:18:27" @ For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

nasb@Matthew:18:28" @ Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.

nasb@Matthew:18:29" @But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

nasb@Matthew:18:30" @And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory.

nasb@Matthew:18:31" @And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

nasb@Matthew:18:32" @Now learn the parable from the fig tree- when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near;

nasb@Matthew:18:33 @so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.

nasb@Matthew:18:34" @Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

nasb@Matthew:18:35" @ Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

nasb@Matthew:18:36" @But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

nasb@Matthew:18:37" @For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.

nasb@Matthew:18:38" @For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,

nasb@Matthew:18:39 @and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

nasb@Matthew:18:40" @Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.

nasb@Matthew:18:41" @ Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left.

nasb@Matthew:18:42" @Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.

nasb@Matthew:18:43" @But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

nasb@Matthew:18:44" @For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.

nasb@Matthew:18:45" @ Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time?

nasb@Matthew:18:46" @Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.

nasb@Matthew:18:47" @Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

nasb@Matthew:18:48" @But if that evil slave says in his heart, 'My master is not coming for a long time,'

nasb@Matthew:18:49 @and begins to beat his fellow slaves and eat and drink with drunkards;

nasb@Matthew:18:50 @the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour which he does not know,

nasb@Matthew:18:51 @and will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

nasb@Matthew:18:25" @Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

nasb@Matthew:18:2" @Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.

nasb@Matthew:18:3" @For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them,

nasb@Matthew:18:4 @but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps.

nasb@Matthew:18:5" @Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep.

nasb@Matthew:18:6" @But at midnight there was a shout, 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.'

nasb@Matthew:18:7" @Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.

nasb@Matthew:18:8" @The foolish said to the prudent, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'

nasb@Matthew:18:9" @But the prudent answered, 'No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.'

nasb@Matthew:18:10" @And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut.

nasb@Matthew:18:11" @Later the other virgins also came, saying, ' Lord, lord, open up for us.'

nasb@Matthew:18:12" @But he answered, 'Truly I say to you, I do not know you.'

nasb@Matthew:18:13" @ Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour.

nasb@Matthew:18:14" @ For it is just like a man about to go on a journey, who called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them.

nasb@Matthew:18:15" @To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey.

nasb@Matthew:18:16" @Immediately the one who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained five more talents.

nasb@Matthew:18:17" @In the same manner the one who had received the two talents gained two more.

nasb@Matthew:18:18" @But he who received the one talent went away, and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.

nasb@Matthew:18:19" @Now after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.

nasb@Matthew:18:20" @The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, 'Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more talents.'

nasb@Matthew:18:21" @His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.'

nasb@Matthew:18:22" @Also the one who had received the two talents came up and said, 'Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more talents.'

nasb@Matthew:18:23" @His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.'

nasb@Matthew:18:24" @And the one also who had received the one talent came up and said, 'Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you scattered no seed.

nasb@Matthew:18:25 @'And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.'

nasb@Matthew:18:26" @But his master answered and said to him, 'You wicked, lazy slave, you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I scattered no seed.

nasb@Matthew:18:27 @'Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and on my arrival I would have received my money back with interest.

nasb@Matthew:18:28 @'Therefore take away the talent from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.'

nasb@Matthew:18:29" @ For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.

nasb@Matthew:18:30" @Throw out the worthless slave into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

nasb@Matthew:18:31" @But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.

nasb@Matthew:18:32" @All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;

nasb@Matthew:18:33 @and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.

nasb@Matthew:18:34" @Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

nasb@Matthew:18:35 @'For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;

nasb@Matthew:18:36 @naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.'

nasb@Matthew:18:37" @Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink?

nasb@Matthew:18:38 @'And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You?

nasb@Matthew:18:39 @'When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'

nasb@Matthew:18:40" @ The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'

nasb@Matthew:18:41" @Then He will also say to those on His left, ' Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;

nasb@Matthew:18:42 @for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink;

nasb@Matthew:18:43 @I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.'

nasb@Matthew:18:44" @Then they themselves also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?'

nasb@Matthew:18:45" @Then He will answer them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.'

nasb@Matthew:18:46" @These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

nasb@Matthew:18:26 @When Jesus had finished all these words, He said to His disciples,

nasb@Matthew:18:2" @ You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be handed over for crucifixion."

nasb@Matthew:18:3 @Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, named Caiaphas;

nasb@Matthew:18:4 @and they plotted together to seize Jesus by stealth and kill Him.

nasb@Matthew:18:5 @But they were saying, "Not during the festival, otherwise a riot might occur among the people."

nasb@Matthew:18:6 @Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper,

nasb@Matthew:18:7 @a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table.

nasb@Matthew:18:8 @But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, "Why this waste?

nasb@Matthew:18:9" @For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor."

nasb@Matthew:18:10 @But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me.

nasb@Matthew:18:11" @For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me.

nasb@Matthew:18:12" @For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial.

nasb@Matthew:18:13" @Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her."

nasb@Matthew:18:14 @Then one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

nasb@Matthew:18:15 @and said, "What are you willing to give me to betray Him to you?" And they weighed out thirty pieces of silver to him.

nasb@Matthew:18:16 @From then on he began looking for a good opportunity to betray Jesus.

nasb@Matthew:18:17 @Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?"

nasb@Matthew:18:18 @And He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, " My time is near; I am to keep the Passover at your house with My disciples."'"

nasb@Matthew:18:19 @The disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.

nasb@Matthew:18:20 @Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.

nasb@Matthew:18:21 @As they were eating, He said, " Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me."

nasb@Matthew:18:22 @Being deeply grieved, they each one began to say to Him, "Surely not I, Lord?"

nasb@Matthew:18:23 @And He answered, " He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me.

nasb@Matthew:18:24" @The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born."

nasb@Matthew:18:25 @And Judas, who was betraying Him, said, "Surely it is not I, Rabbi?" Jesus said to him, " You have said it yourself."

nasb@Matthew:18:26 @While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."

nasb@Matthew:18:27 @And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you;

nasb@Matthew:18:28 @for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.

nasb@Matthew:18:29" @But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."

nasb@Matthew:18:30 @After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

nasb@Matthew:18:31 @Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, ' I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP OF THE FLOCK SHALL BE SCATTERED.'

nasb@Matthew:18:32" @But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee."

nasb@Matthew:18:33 @But Peter said to Him, "Even though all may fall away because of You, I will never fall away."

nasb@Matthew:18:34 @Jesus said to him, " Truly I say to you that this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."

nasb@Matthew:18:35 @Peter said to Him, " Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You." All the disciples said the same thing too.

nasb@Matthew:18:36 @Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."

nasb@Matthew:18:37 @And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed.

nasb@Matthew:18:38 @Then He said to them, " My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me."

nasb@Matthew:18:39 @And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will."

nasb@Matthew:18:40 @And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour?

nasb@Matthew:18:41" @ Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

nasb@Matthew:18:42 @He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done."

nasb@Matthew:18:43 @Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

nasb@Matthew:18:44 @And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.

nasb@Matthew:18:45 @Then He came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

nasb@Matthew:18:46" @Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"

nasb@Matthew:18:47 @While He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came up accompanied by a large crowd with swords and clubs, who came from the chief priests and elders of the people.

nasb@Matthew:18:48 @Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him."

nasb@Matthew:18:49 @Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.

nasb@Matthew:18:50 @And Jesus said to him, " Friend, do what you have come for." Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.

nasb@Matthew:18:51 @And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.

nasb@Matthew:18:52 @Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.

nasb@Matthew:18:53" @Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

nasb@Matthew:18:54" @How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?"

nasb@Matthew:18:55 @At that time Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me.

nasb@Matthew:18:56" @But all this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures of the prophets." Then all the disciples left Him and fled.

nasb@Matthew:18:57 @Those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

nasb@Matthew:18:58 @But Peter was following Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the officers to see the outcome.

nasb@Matthew:18:59 @Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death.

nasb@Matthew:18:60 @They did not find any, even though many false witnesses came forward. But later on two came forward,

nasb@Matthew:18:61 @and said, "This man stated, ' I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.'"

nasb@Matthew:18:62 @The high priest stood up and said to Him, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?"

nasb@Matthew:18:63 @But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God."

nasb@Matthew:18:64 @Jesus said to him, " You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you will see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN."

nasb@Matthew:18:65 @Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy;

nasb@Matthew:18:66 @what do you think?" They answered, " He deserves death!"

nasb@Matthew:18:67 @Then they spat in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others slapped Him,

nasb@Matthew:18:68 @and said, " Prophesy to us, You Christ; who is the one who hit You?"

nasb@Matthew:18:69 @Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant-girl came to him and said, "You too were with Jesus the Galilean."

nasb@Matthew:18:70 @But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about."

nasb@Matthew:18:71 @When he had gone out to the gateway, another servant-girl saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth."

nasb@Matthew:18:72 @And again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man."

nasb@Matthew:18:73 @A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Surely you too are one of them; for even the way you talk gives you away."

nasb@Matthew:18:74 @Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know the man!" And immediately a rooster crowed.

nasb@Matthew:18:75 @And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, " Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly.

nasb@Matthew:19:1 @Now when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus to put Him to death;

nasb@Matthew:19:2 @and they bound Him, and led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate the governor.

nasb@Matthew:19:3 @Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

nasb@Matthew:19:4 @saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? See to that yourself!"

nasb@Matthew:19:5 @And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.

nasb@Matthew:19:6 @The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood."

nasb@Matthew:19:7 @And they conferred together and with the money bought the Potter's Field as a burial place for strangers.

nasb@Matthew:19:8 @For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

nasb@Matthew:19:9 @Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled- " AND THEY TOOK THE THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER, THE PRICE OF THE ONE WHOSE PRICE HAD BEEN SET by the sons of Israel;

nasb@Matthew:19:10 @AND THEY GAVE THEM FOR THE POTTER'S FIELD, AS THE LORD DIRECTED ME."

nasb@Matthew:19:11 @Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And Jesus said to him, " It is as you say."

nasb@Matthew:19:12 @And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He did not answer.

nasb@Matthew:19:13 @Then Pilate said to Him, "Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?"

nasb@Matthew:19:14 @And He did not answer him with regard to even a single charge, so the governor was quite amazed.

nasb@Matthew:19:15 @Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the people any one prisoner whom they wanted.

nasb@Matthew:19:16 @At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.

nasb@Matthew:19:17 @So when the people gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"

nasb@Matthew:19:18 @For he knew that because of envy they had handed Him over.

nasb@Matthew:19:19 @While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous Man; for last night I suffered greatly in a dream because of Him."

nasb@Matthew:19:20 @But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to put Jesus to death.

nasb@Matthew:19:21 @But the governor said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barabbas."

nasb@Matthew:19:22 @Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Crucify Him!"

nasb@Matthew:19:23 @And he said, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they kept shouting all the more, saying, "Crucify Him!"

nasb@Matthew:19:24 @When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this Man's blood; see to that yourselves."

nasb@Matthew:19:25 @And all the people said, " His blood shall be on us and on our children!"

nasb@Matthew:19:26 @Then he released Barabbas for them; but after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

nasb@Matthew:19:27 @Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole Roman cohort around Him.

nasb@Matthew:19:28 @They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

nasb@Matthew:19:29 @And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, " Hail, King of the Jews!"

nasb@Matthew:19:30 @They spat on Him, and took the reed and began to beat Him on the head.

nasb@Matthew:19:31 @After they had mocked Him, they took the scarlet robe off Him and put His own garments back on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.

nasb@Matthew:19:32 @As they were coming out, they found a man of Cyrene named Simon, whom they pressed into service to bear His cross.

nasb@Matthew:19:33 @And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull,

nasb@Matthew:19:34 @they gave Him wine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink.

nasb@Matthew:19:35 @And when they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments among themselves by casting lots.

nasb@Matthew:19:36 @And sitting down, they began to keep watch over Him there.

nasb@Matthew:19:37 @And above His head they put up the charge against Him which read, " THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS."

nasb@Matthew:19:38 @At that time two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left.

nasb@Matthew:19:39 @And those passing by were hurling abuse at Him, wagging their heads

nasb@Matthew:19:40 @and saying, " You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross."

nasb@Matthew:19:41 @In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying,

nasb@Matthew:19:42" @ He saved others; He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

nasb@Matthew:19:43" @ HE TRUSTS IN GOD; LET GOD RESCUE Him now, IF HE DELIGHTS IN HIM; for He said, 'I am the Son of God.'"

nasb@Matthew:19:44 @The robbers who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the same words.

nasb@Matthew:19:45 @Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour.

nasb@Matthew:19:46 @About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, " ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" that is, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"

nasb@Matthew:19:47 @And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, began saying, "This man is calling for Elijah."

nasb@Matthew:19:48 @Immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, he filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink.

nasb@Matthew:19:49 @But the rest of them said, "Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him."

nasb@Matthew:19:50 @And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.

nasb@Matthew:19:51 @And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split.

nasb@Matthew:19:52 @The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

nasb@Matthew:19:53 @and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many.

nasb@Matthew:19:54 @Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

nasb@Matthew:19:55 @Many women were there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while ministering to Him.

nasb@Matthew:19:56 @Among them was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

nasb@Matthew:19:57 @When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

nasb@Matthew:19:58 @This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

nasb@Matthew:19:59 @And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

nasb@Matthew:19:60 @and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away.

nasb@Matthew:19:61 @And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the grave.

nasb@Matthew:19:62 @Now on the next day, the day after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together with Pilate,

nasb@Matthew:19:63 @and said, "Sir, we remember that when He was still alive that deceiver said, ' After three days I am to rise again.'

nasb@Matthew:19:64" @Therefore, give orders for the grave to be made secure until the third day, otherwise His disciples may come and steal Him away and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead,' and the last deception will be worse than the first."

nasb@Matthew:19:65 @Pilate said to them, "You have a guard; go, make it as secure as you know how."

nasb@Matthew:19:66 @And they went and made the grave secure, and along with the guard they set a seal on the stone.

nasb@Matthew:20:1 @Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave.

nasb@Matthew:20:10 @Then Jesus said to them, " Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me."

nasb@Matthew:20:11 @Now while they were on their way, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.

nasb@Matthew:20:12 @And when they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,

nasb@Matthew:20:13 @and said, "You are to say, 'His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.'

nasb@Matthew:20:14" @And if this should come to the governor's ears, we will win him over and keep you out of trouble."

nasb@Matthew:20:15 @And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely spread among the Jews, and is to this day.

nasb@Matthew:20:16 @But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated.

nasb@Matthew:20:17 @When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful.

nasb@Matthew:20:18 @And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, " All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

nasb@Matthew:20:19" @ Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,

nasb@Mark:1:1 @The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

nasb@Mark:1:2 @As it is written in Isaiah the prophet- " BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU, WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY;

nasb@Mark:1:3 @THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, 'MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.'"

nasb@Mark:1:4 @John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

nasb@Mark:1:5 @And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

nasb@Mark:1:6 @John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and his diet was locusts and wild honey.

nasb@Mark:1:7 @And he was preaching, and saying, "After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals.

nasb@Mark:1:8" @I baptized you with water; but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."

nasb@Mark:1:9 @In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

nasb@Mark:1:10 @Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him;

nasb@Mark:1:11 @and a voice came out of the heavens- " You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased."

nasb@Mark:1:12 @Immediately the Spirit impelled Him to go out into the wilderness.

nasb@Mark:1:13 @And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him.

nasb@Mark:1:14 @Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,

nasb@Mark:1:15 @and saying, " The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."

nasb@Mark:1:16 @As He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.

nasb@Mark:1:17 @And Jesus said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men."

nasb@Mark:1:18 @Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

nasb@Mark:1:19 @Going on a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.

nasb@Mark:1:20 @Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went away to follow Him.

nasb@Mark:1:21 @They went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach.

nasb@Mark:1:22 @They were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

nasb@Mark:1:23 @Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

nasb@Mark:1:24 @saying, " What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are-- the Holy One of God!"

nasb@Mark:1:25 @And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!"

nasb@Mark:1:26 @Throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit cried out with a loud voice and came out of him.

nasb@Mark:1:27 @They were all amazed, so that they debated among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him."

nasb@Mark:1:28 @Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere into all the surrounding district of Galilee.

nasb@Mark:1:29 @And immediately after they came out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

nasb@Mark:1:30 @Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they spoke to Jesus about her.

nasb@Mark:1:31 @And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she waited on them.

nasb@Mark:1:32 @When evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon-possessed.

nasb@Mark:1:33 @And the whole city had gathered at the door.

nasb@Mark:1:34 @And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.

nasb@Mark:1:35 @In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there.

nasb@Mark:1:36 @Simon and his companions searched for Him;

nasb@Mark:1:37 @they found Him, and said to Him, "Everyone is looking for You."

nasb@Mark:1:38 @He said to them, "Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may preach there also; for that is what I came for."

nasb@Mark:1:39 @And He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out the demons.

nasb@Mark:1:40 @And a leper came to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."

nasb@Mark:1:41 @Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."

nasb@Mark:1:42 @Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.

nasb@Mark:1:43 @And He sternly warned him and immediately sent him away,

nasb@Mark:1:44 @and He said to him, " See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

nasb@Mark:1:45 @But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the news around, to such an extent that Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but stayed out in unpopulated areas; and they were coming to Him from everywhere.

nasb@Mark:2:1 @When He had come back to Capernaum several days afterward, it was heard that He was at home.

nasb@Mark:2:10" @But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--He said to the paralytic,

nasb@Mark:2:11" @I say to you, get up, pick up your pallet and go home."

nasb@Mark:2:12 @And he got up and immediately picked up the pallet and went out in the sight of everyone, so that they were all amazed and were glorifying God, saying, " We have never seen anything like this."

nasb@Mark:2:13 @And He went out again by the seashore; and all the people were coming to Him, and He was teaching them.

nasb@Mark:2:14 @As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting in the tax booth, and He said to him, " Follow Me!" And he got up and followed Him.

nasb@Mark:2:15 @And it happened that He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners were dining with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many of them, and they were following Him.

nasb@Mark:2:16 @When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they said to His disciples, " Why is He eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners?"

nasb@Mark:2:17 @And hearing this, Jesus said to them, " It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

nasb@Mark:2:18 @John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and they came and said to Him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?"

nasb@Mark:2:19 @And Jesus said to them, "While the bridegroom is with them, the attendants of the bridegroom cannot fast, can they? So long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

nasb@Mark:2:21" @No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear results.

nasb@Mark:3:1 @He entered again into a synagogue; and a man was there whose hand was withered.

nasb@Mark:3:10 @for He had healed many, with the result that all those who had afflictions pressed around Him in order to touch Him.

nasb@Mark:3:11 @Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they would fall down before Him and shout, "You are the Son of God!"

nasb@Mark:3:12 @And He earnestly warned them not to tell who He was.

nasb@Mark:3:13 @And He went up on the mountain and summoned those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to Him.

nasb@Mark:3:14 @And He appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach,

nasb@Mark:3:15 @and to have authority to cast out the demons.

nasb@Mark:3:16 @And He appointed the twelve- Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter),

nasb@Mark:3:17 @and James, the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, which means, "Sons of Thunder");

nasb@Mark:3:18 @and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot;

nasb@Mark:3:19 @and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.

nasb@Mark:3:21 @When His own people heard of this, they went out to take custody of Him; for they were saying, " He has lost His senses."

nasb@Mark:3:31 @Then His mother and His brothers arrived, and standing outside they sent word to Him and called Him.

nasb@Mark:4:1 @He began to teach again by the sea. And such a very large crowd gathered to Him that He got into a boat in the sea and sat down; and the whole crowd was by the sea on the land.

nasb@Mark:4:10 @As soon as He was alone, His followers, along with the twelve, began asking Him about the parables.

nasb@Mark:4:11 @And He was saying to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but those who are outside get everything in parables,

nasb@Mark:4:12 @so that WHILE SEEING, THEY MAY SEE AND NOT PERCEIVE, AND WHILE HEARING, THEY MAY HEAR AND NOT UNDERSTAND, OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT RETURN AND BE FORGIVEN."

nasb@Mark:4:13 @And He said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How will you understand all the parables?

nasb@Mark:4:14" @The sower sows the word.

nasb@Mark:4:15" @These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

nasb@Mark:4:16" @In a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy;

nasb@Mark:4:17 @and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they fall away.

nasb@Mark:4:18" @And others are the ones on whom seed was sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,

nasb@Mark:4:19 @but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

nasb@Mark:4:21 @And He was saying to them, " A lamp is not brought to be put under a basket, is it, or under a bed? Is it not brought to be put on the lampstand?

nasb@Mark:4:31" @It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil,

nasb@Mark:4:41 @They became very much afraid and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey HimNULL"

nasb@Mark:5:1 @They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.

nasb@Mark:5:10 @And he began to implore Him earnestly not to send them out of the country.

nasb@Mark:5:11 @Now there was a large herd of swine feeding nearby on the mountain.

nasb@Mark:5:12 @The demons implored Him, saying, "Send us into the swine so that we may enter them."

nasb@Mark:5:13 @Jesus gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they were drowned in the sea.

nasb@Mark:5:14 @Their herdsmen ran away and reported it in the city and in the country. And the people came to see what it was that had happened.

nasb@Mark:5:15 @They came to Jesus and observed the man who had been demon-possessed sitting down, clothed and in his right mind, the very man who had had the " legion"; and they became frightened.

nasb@Mark:5:16 @Those who had seen it described to them how it had happened to the demon-possessed man, and all about the swine.

nasb@Mark:5:17 @And they began to implore Him to leave their region.

nasb@Mark:5:18 @As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed was imploring Him that he might accompany Him.

nasb@Mark:5:19 @And He did not let him, but He said to him, " Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you."

nasb@Mark:5:21 @When Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him; and so He stayed by the seashore.

nasb@Mark:5:31 @And His disciples said to Him, "You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, 'Who touched Me?'"

nasb@Mark:5:41 @Taking the child by the hand, He said to her, "Talitha kum!" (which translated means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!").

nasb@Mark:6:1 @Jesus went out from there and came into His hometown; and His disciples followed Him.

nasb@Mark:6:10 @And He said to them, "Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave town.

nasb@Mark:6:11" @Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them."

nasb@Mark:6:12 @They went out and preached that men should repent.

nasb@Mark:6:13 @And they were casting out many demons and were anointing with oil many sick people and healing them.

nasb@Mark:6:14 @And King Herod heard of it, for His name had become well known; and people were saying, " John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in Him."

nasb@Mark:6:15 @But others were saying, "He is Elijah." And others were saying, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old."

nasb@Mark:6:16 @But when Herod heard of it, he kept saying, "John, whom I beheaded, has risen!"

nasb@Mark:6:17 @For Herod himself had sent and had John arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he had married her.

nasb@Mark:6:18 @For John had been saying to Herod, " It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."

nasb@Mark:6:19 @Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death and could not do so;

nasb@Mark:6:21 @A strategic day came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his lords and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee;

nasb@Mark:6:31 @And He said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while." (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.)

nasb@Mark:6:41 @And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food and broke the loaves and He kept giving them to the disciples to set before them; and He divided up the two fish among them all.

nasb@Mark:6:51 @Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly astonished,

nasb@Mark:7:1 @The Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered around Him when they had come from Jerusalem,

nasb@Mark:7:10" @For Moses said, ' HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER'; and, ' HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER, IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH';

nasb@Mark:7:11 @but you say, 'If a man says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is to say, given to God),'

nasb@Mark:7:12 @you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother;

nasb@Mark:7:13 @thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that."

nasb@Mark:7:14 @After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, "Listen to Me, all of you, and understand-

nasb@Mark:7:15 @there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man.

nasb@Mark:7:16 @[" If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."]

nasb@Mark:7:17 @When he had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable.

nasb@Mark:7:18 @And He said to them, "Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him,

nasb@Mark:7:19 @because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?" (Thus He declared all foods clean.)

nasb@Mark:7:21" @For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,

nasb@Mark:7:31 @Again He went out from the region of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, within the region of Decapolis.

nasb@Mark:7:10 @And immediately He entered the boat with His disciples and came to the district of Dalmanutha.

nasb@Mark:7:11 @The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, to test Him.

nasb@Mark:7:12 @Sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, "Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation."

nasb@Mark:7:13 @Leaving them, He again embarked and went away to the other side.

nasb@Mark:7:14 @And they had forgotten to take bread, and did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.

nasb@Mark:7:15 @And He was giving orders to them, saying, " Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."

nasb@Mark:7:16 @They began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread.

nasb@Mark:7:17 @And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet see or understand? Do you have a hardened heart?

nasb@Mark:7:18" @ HAVING EYES, DO YOU NOT SEE? AND HAVING EARS, DO YOU NOT HEAR? And do you not remember,

nasb@Mark:7:19 @when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces you picked up?" They said to Him, "Twelve."

nasb@Mark:7:21 @And He was saying to them, " Do you not yet understand?"

nasb@Mark:7:31 @And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

nasb@Mark:8:1 @And Jesus was saying to them, " Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power."

nasb@Mark:8:10 @They seized upon that statement, discussing with one another what rising from the dead meant.

nasb@Mark:8:11 @They asked Him, saying, "Why is it that the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

nasb@Mark:8:12 @And He said to them, "Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

nasb@Mark:8:13" @But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him."

nasb@Mark:8:14 @When they came back to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them.

nasb@Mark:8:15 @Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Him, they were amazed and began running up to greet Him.

nasb@Mark:8:16 @And He asked them, "What are you discussing with them?"

nasb@Mark:8:17 @And one of the crowd answered Him, "Teacher, I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him mute;

nasb@Mark:8:18 @and whenever it seizes him, it slams him to the ground and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth and stiffens out. I told Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not do it."

nasb@Mark:8:19 @And He answered them and said, "O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!"

nasb@Mark:8:21 @And He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood.

nasb@Mark:8:31 @For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, " The Son of Man is to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days later."

nasb@Mark:8:41" @For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.

nasb@Mark:9:1 @Getting up, He went from there to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan; crowds gathered around Him again, and, according to His custom, He once more began to teach them.

nasb@Mark:9:10 @In the house the disciples began questioning Him about this again.

nasb@Mark:9:11 @And He said to them, " Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;

nasb@Mark:9:12 @and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery."

nasb@Mark:9:13 @And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.

nasb@Mark:9:14 @But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

nasb@Mark:9:15" @Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all."

nasb@Mark:9:16 @And He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them.

nasb@Mark:9:17 @As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

nasb@Mark:9:18 @And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

nasb@Mark:9:19" @You know the commandments, ' DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, Do not defraud, HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.'"

nasb@Mark:9:21 @Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, "One thing you lack- go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

nasb@Mark:9:31" @But many who are first will be last, and the last, first."

nasb@Mark:9:41 @Hearing this, the ten began to feel indignant with James and John.

nasb@Mark:9:51 @And answering him, Jesus said, "What do you want Me to do for you?" And the blind man said to Him, " Rabboni, I want to regain my sight!"

nasb@Mark:10:1 @As they approached Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples,

nasb@Mark:10:2 @and said to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

nasb@Mark:10:3" @If anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' you say, 'The Lord has need of it'; and immediately he will send it back here."

nasb@Mark:10:4 @They went away and found a colt tied at the door, outside in the street; and they untied it.

nasb@Mark:10:5 @Some of the bystanders were saying to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

nasb@Mark:10:6 @They spoke to them just as Jesus had told them, and they gave them permission.

nasb@Mark:10:7 @They brought the colt to Jesus and put their coats on it; and He sat on it.

nasb@Mark:10:8 @And many spread their coats in the road, and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.

nasb@Mark:10:9 @Those who went in front and those who followed were shouting- "Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD;

nasb@Mark:10:10 @Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David; Hosanna in the highest!"

nasb@Mark:10:11 @Jesus entered Jerusalem and came into the temple; and after looking around at everything, He left for Bethany with the twelve, since it was already late.

nasb@Mark:10:12 @On the next day, when they had left Bethany, He became hungry.

nasb@Mark:10:13 @Seeing at a distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if perhaps He would find anything on it; and when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

nasb@Mark:10:14 @He said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" And His disciples were listening.

nasb@Mark:10:15 @Then they came to Jerusalem. And He entered the temple and began to drive out those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves;

nasb@Mark:10:16 @and He would not permit anyone to carry merchandise through the temple.

nasb@Mark:10:18 @The chief priests and the scribes heard this, and began seeking how to destroy Him; for they were afraid of Him, for the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.

nasb@Mark:10:19 @When evening came, they would go out of the city.

nasb@Mark:10:20 @As they were passing by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots up.

nasb@Mark:10:21 @Being reminded, Peter said to Him, " Rabbi, look, the fig tree which You cursed has withered."

nasb@Mark:10:22 @And Jesus answered saying to them, " Have faith in God.

nasb@Mark:10:23" @ Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him.

nasb@Mark:10:24" @Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.

nasb@Mark:10:25" @Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.

nasb@Mark:10:26 @[" But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your transgressions."]

nasb@Mark:10:27 @They came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to Him,

nasb@Mark:10:28 @and began saying to Him, "By what authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority to do these things?"

nasb@Mark:10:29 @And Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question, and you answer Me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

nasb@Mark:10:30" @Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men? Answer Me."

nasb@Mark:10:31 @They began reasoning among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?'

nasb@Mark:10:32" @But shall we say, 'From men'?"--they were afraid of the people, for everyone considered John to have been a real prophet.

nasb@Mark:10:33 @Answering Jesus, they said, "We do not know." And Jesus said to them, "Nor will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

nasb@Mark:10:12 @And He began to speak to them in parables- " A man PLANTED A VINEYARD AND PUT A WALL AROUND IT, AND DUG A VAT UNDER THE WINE PRESS AND BUILT A TOWER, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.

nasb@Mark:10:2" @At the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, in order to receive some of the produce of the vineyard from the vine-growers.

nasb@Mark:10:3" @They took him, and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

nasb@Mark:10:4" @Again he sent them another slave, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully.

nasb@Mark:10:5" @And he sent another, and that one they killed; and so with many others, beating some and killing others.

nasb@Mark:10:6" @He had one more to send, a beloved son; he sent him last of all to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

nasb@Mark:10:7" @But those vine-growers said to one another, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!'

nasb@Mark:10:8" @They took him, and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.

nasb@Mark:10:9" @What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vine-growers, and will give the vineyard to others.

nasb@Mark:10:10" @Have you not even read this Scripture- ' THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone;

nasb@Mark:10:11 @THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES'?"

nasb@Mark:10:12 @And they were seeking to seize Him, and yet they feared the people, for they understood that He spoke the parable against them. And so they left Him and went away.

nasb@Mark:10:13 @Then they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Him in order to trap Him in a statement.

nasb@Mark:10:14 @They came and said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are truthful and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?

nasb@Mark:10:15" @Shall we pay or shall we not pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at."

nasb@Mark:10:16 @They brought one. And He said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" And they said to Him, "Caesar's."

nasb@Mark:10:17 @And Jesus said to them, " Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they were amazed at Him.

nasb@Mark:10:18 @Some Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection) came to Jesus, and began questioning Him, saying,

nasb@Mark:10:19" @Teacher, Moses wrote for us that IF A MAN'S BROTHER DIES and leaves behind a wife AND LEAVES NO CHILD, HIS BROTHER SHOULD MARRY THE WIFE AND RAISE UP CHILDREN TO HIS BROTHER.

nasb@Mark:10:20" @There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no children.

nasb@Mark:10:21" @The second one married her, and died leaving behind no children; and the third likewise;

nasb@Mark:10:22 @and so all seven left no children. Last of all the woman died also.

nasb@Mark:10:23" @In the resurrection, when they rise again, which one's wife will she be? For all seven had married her."

nasb@Mark:10:24 @Jesus said to them, "Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God?

nasb@Mark:10:25" @For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

nasb@Mark:10:26" @But regarding the fact that the dead rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ' I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, and the God of Jacob'?

nasb@Mark:10:27" @ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken."

nasb@Mark:10:28 @One of the scribes came and heard them arguing, and recognizing that He had answered them well, asked Him, "What commandment is the foremost of all?"

nasb@Mark:10:29 @Jesus answered, "The foremost is, ' HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD;

nasb@Mark:10:30 @AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.'

nasb@Mark:10:31" @The second is this, ' YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

nasb@Mark:10:32 @The scribe said to Him, "Right, Teacher; You have truly stated that HE IS ONE, AND THERE IS NO ONE ELSE BESIDES HIM;

nasb@Mark:10:33 @AND TO LOVE HIM WITH ALL THE HEART AND WITH ALL THE UNDERSTANDING AND WITH ALL THE STRENGTH, AND TO LOVE ONE'S NEIGHBOR AS HIMSELF, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."

nasb@Mark:10:34 @When Jesus saw that he had answered intelligently, He said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." After that, no one would venture to ask Him any more questions.

nasb@Mark:10:35 @And Jesus began to say, as He taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

nasb@Mark:10:36" @David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ' THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES BENEATH YOUR FEET."'

nasb@Mark:10:37" @David himself calls Him 'Lord'; so in what sense is He his son?" And the large crowd enjoyed listening to Him.

nasb@Mark:10:38 @In His teaching He was saying- "Beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long robes, and like respectful greetings in the market places,

nasb@Mark:10:39 @and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets,

nasb@Mark:10:40 @who devour widows' houses, and for appearance's sake offer long prayers; these will receive greater condemnation."

nasb@Mark:10:41 @And He sat down opposite the treasury, and began observing how the people were putting money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large sums.

nasb@Mark:10:42 @A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent.

nasb@Mark:10:43 @Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury;

nasb@Mark:10:44 @for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on."

nasb@Mark:11:1 @As He was going out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, "Teacher, behold what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!"

nasb@Mark:11:2 @And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left upon another which will not be torn down."

nasb@Mark:11:3 @As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew were questioning Him privately,

nasb@Mark:11:4" @Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?"

nasb@Mark:11:5 @And Jesus began to say to them, "See to it that no one misleads you.

nasb@Mark:11:6" @Many will come in My name, saying, ' I am He!' and will mislead many.

nasb@Mark:11:7" @When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end.

nasb@Mark:11:8" @For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

nasb@Mark:11:9" @But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them.

nasb@Mark:11:10" @ The gospel must first be preached to all the nations.

nasb@Mark:11:11" @ When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Mark:11:12" @Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.

nasb@Mark:11:13" @ You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.

nasb@Mark:11:14" @But when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.

nasb@Mark:11:15" @ The one who is on the housetop must not go down, or go in to get anything out of his house;

nasb@Mark:11:16 @and the one who is in the field must not turn back to get his coat.

nasb@Mark:11:17" @But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

nasb@Mark:11:18" @But pray that it may not happen in the winter.

nasb@Mark:11:19" @For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will.

nasb@Mark:11:20" @Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days.

nasb@Mark:11:21" @And then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ'; or, 'Behold, He is there'; do not believe him;

nasb@Mark:11:22 @for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect.

nasb@Mark:11:23" @But take heed; behold, I have told you everything in advance.

nasb@Mark:11:24" @But in those days, after that tribulation, THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT,

nasb@Mark:11:25 @AND THE STARS WILL BE FALLING from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.

nasb@Mark:11:26" @Then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN CLOUDS with great power and glory.

nasb@Mark:11:27" @And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven.

nasb@Mark:11:28" @Now learn the parable from the fig tree- when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.

nasb@Mark:11:29" @Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at the door.

nasb@Mark:11:30" @Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

nasb@Mark:11:31" @Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

nasb@Mark:11:32" @ But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

nasb@Mark:11:33" @Take heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when the appointed time will come.

nasb@Mark:11:34" @ It is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay on the alert.

nasb@Mark:11:35" @Therefore, be on the alert--for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning--

nasb@Mark:11:36 @in case he should come suddenly and find you asleep.

nasb@Mark:11:37" @What I say to you I say to all, ' Be on the alert!'"

nasb@Mark:12:1 @Now the Passover and Unleavened Bread were two days away; and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to seize Him by stealth and kill Him;

nasb@Mark:12:2 @for they were saying, "Not during the festival, otherwise there might be a riot of the people."

nasb@Mark:12:3 @While He was in Bethany at the home of Simon the leper, and reclining at the table, there came a woman with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume of pure nard; and she broke the vial and poured it over His head.

nasb@Mark:12:4 @But some were indignantly remarking to one another, "Why has this perfume been wasted?

nasb@Mark:12:5" @For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor." And they were scolding her.

nasb@Mark:12:6 @But Jesus said, "Let her alone; why do you bother her? She has done a good deed to Me.

nasb@Mark:12:7" @For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.

nasb@Mark:12:8" @She has done what she could; she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial.

nasb@Mark:12:9" @Truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her."

nasb@Mark:12:10 @Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went off to the chief priests in order to betray Him to them.

nasb@Mark:12:11 @They were glad when they heard this, and promised to give him money. And he began seeking how to betray Him at an opportune time.

nasb@Mark:12:12 @On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was being sacrificed, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?"

nasb@Mark:12:13 @And He sent two of His disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him;

nasb@Mark:12:14 @and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"'

nasb@Mark:12:15" @And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there."

nasb@Mark:12:16 @The disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

nasb@Mark:12:17 @When it was evening He came with the twelve.

nasb@Mark:12:18 @As they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said, "Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me--one who is eating with Me."

nasb@Mark:12:19 @They began to be grieved and to say to Him one by one, "Surely not I?"

nasb@Mark:12:20 @And He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who dips with Me in the bowl.

nasb@Mark:12:21" @For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born."

nasb@Mark:12:22 @While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take it; this is My body."

nasb@Mark:12:23 @And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

nasb@Mark:12:24 @And He said to them, "This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

nasb@Mark:12:25" @Truly I say to you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

nasb@Mark:12:26 @After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

nasb@Mark:12:27 @And Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away, because it is written, ' I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP SHALL BE SCATTERED.'

nasb@Mark:12:28" @But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee."

nasb@Mark:12:29 @But Peter said to Him, "Even though all may fall away, yet I will not."

nasb@Mark:12:30 @And Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, that this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times."

nasb@Mark:12:31 @But Peter kept saying insistently, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" And they all were saying the same thing also.

nasb@Mark:12:32 @They came to a place named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sit here until I have prayed."

nasb@Mark:12:33 @And He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be very distressed and troubled.

nasb@Mark:12:34 @And He said to them, " My soul is deeply grieved to the point of death; remain here and keep watch."

nasb@Mark:12:35 @And He went a little beyond them, and fell to the ground and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour might pass Him by.

nasb@Mark:12:36 @And He was saying, " Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will."

nasb@Mark:12:37 @And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour?

nasb@Mark:12:38" @ Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

nasb@Mark:12:39 @Again He went away and prayed, saying the same words.

nasb@Mark:12:40 @And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.

nasb@Mark:12:41 @And He came the third time, and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

nasb@Mark:12:42" @Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"

nasb@Mark:12:43 @Immediately while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came up accompanied by a crowd with swords and clubs, who were from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

nasb@Mark:12:44 @Now he who was betraying Him had given them a signal, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him and lead Him away under guard."

nasb@Mark:12:45 @After coming, Judas immediately went to Him, saying, " Rabbi!" and kissed Him.

nasb@Mark:12:46 @They laid hands on Him and seized Him.

nasb@Mark:12:47 @But one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.

nasb@Mark:12:48 @And Jesus said to them, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as you would against a robber?

nasb@Mark:12:49" @Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me; but this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures."

nasb@Mark:12:50 @And they all left Him and fled.

nasb@Mark:12:51 @A young man was following Him, wearing nothing but a linen sheet over his naked body; and they seized him.

nasb@Mark:12:52 @But he pulled free of the linen sheet and escaped naked.

nasb@Mark:12:53 @They led Jesus away to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes gathered together.

nasb@Mark:12:54 @Peter had followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself at the fire.

nasb@Mark:12:55 @Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, and they were not finding any.

nasb@Mark:12:56 @For many were giving false testimony against Him, but their testimony was not consistent.

nasb@Mark:12:57 @Some stood up and began to give false testimony against Him, saying,

nasb@Mark:12:58" @We heard Him say, ' I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'"

nasb@Mark:12:59 @Not even in this respect was their testimony consistent.

nasb@Mark:12:60 @The high priest stood up and came forward and questioned Jesus, saying, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?"

nasb@Mark:12:61 @But He kept silent and did not answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"

nasb@Mark:12:62 @And Jesus said, "I am; and you shall see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN."

nasb@Mark:12:63 @Tearing his clothes, the high priest said, "What further need do we have of witnesses?

nasb@Mark:12:64" @You have heard the blasphemy; how does it seem to you?" And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.

nasb@Mark:12:65 @Some began to spit at Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, " Prophesy!" And the officers received Him with slaps in the face.

nasb@Mark:12:66 @As Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came,

nasb@Mark:12:67 @and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You also were with Jesus the Nazarene."

nasb@Mark:12:68 @But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are talking about." And he went out onto the porch.

nasb@Mark:12:69 @The servant-girl saw him, and began once more to say to the bystanders, "This is one of them!"

nasb@Mark:12:70 @But again he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, "Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean too."

nasb@Mark:12:71 @But he began to curse and swear, "I do not know this man you are talking about!"

nasb@Mark:12:72 @Immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, "Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times." And he began to weep.

nasb@Mark:13:1 @Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole Council, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate.

nasb@Mark:13:2 @Pilate questioned Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered him, "It is as you say."

nasb@Mark:13:3 @The chief priests began to accuse Him harshly.

nasb@Mark:13:4 @Then Pilate questioned Him again, saying, "Do You not answer? See how many charges they bring against You!"

nasb@Mark:13:5 @But Jesus made no further answer; so Pilate was amazed.

nasb@Mark:13:6 @Now at the feast he used to release for them any one prisoner whom they requested.

nasb@Mark:13:7 @The man named Barabbas had been imprisoned with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the insurrection.

nasb@Mark:13:8 @The crowd went up and began asking him to do as he had been accustomed to do for them.

nasb@Mark:13:9 @Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"

nasb@Mark:13:10 @For he was aware that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.

nasb@Mark:13:11 @But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to ask him to release Barabbas for them instead.

nasb@Mark:13:12 @Answering again, Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?"

nasb@Mark:13:13 @They shouted back, "Crucify Him!"

nasb@Mark:13:14 @But Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify Him!"

nasb@Mark:13:15 @Wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

nasb@Mark:13:16 @The soldiers took Him away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium), and they called together the whole Roman cohort.

nasb@Mark:13:17 @They dressed Him up in purple, and after twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on Him;

nasb@Mark:13:18 @and they began to acclaim Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

nasb@Mark:13:19 @They kept beating His head with a reed, and spitting on Him, and kneeling and bowing before Him.

nasb@Mark:13:20 @After they had mocked Him, they took the purple robe off Him and put His own garments on Him. And they led Him out to crucify Him.

nasb@Mark:13:21 @They pressed into service a passer-by coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus), to bear His cross.

nasb@Mark:13:22 @Then they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.

nasb@Mark:13:23 @They tried to give Him wine mixed with myrrh; but He did not take it.

nasb@Mark:13:24 @And they crucified Him, and divided up His garments among themselves, casting lots for them to decide what each man should take.

nasb@Mark:13:25 @It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

nasb@Mark:13:26 @The inscription of the charge against Him read, " THE KING OF THE JEWS."

nasb@Mark:13:27 @They crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left.

nasb@Mark:13:28 @[ And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And He was numbered with transgressors."]

nasb@Mark:13:29 @Those passing by were hurling abuse at Him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,

nasb@Mark:13:30 @save Yourself, and come down from the cross!"

nasb@Mark:13:31 @In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves and saying, " He saved others; He cannot save Himself.

nasb@Mark:13:32" @Let this Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!" Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.

nasb@Mark:13:33 @When the sixth hour came, darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour.

nasb@Mark:13:34 @At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, " ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" which is translated, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"

nasb@Mark:13:35 @When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, "Behold, He is calling for Elijah."

nasb@Mark:13:36 @Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, "Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down."

nasb@Mark:13:37 @And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His last.

nasb@Mark:13:38 @And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

nasb@Mark:13:39 @When the centurion, who was standing right in front of Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

nasb@Mark:13:40 @There were also some women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less and Joses, and Salome.

nasb@Mark:13:41 @When He was in Galilee, they used to follow Him and minister to Him; and there were many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

nasb@Mark:13:42 @When evening had already come, because it was the preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

nasb@Mark:13:43 @Joseph of Arimathea came, a prominent member of the Council, who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God; and he gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

nasb@Mark:13:44 @Pilate wondered if He was dead by this time, and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He was already dead.

nasb@Mark:13:45 @And ascertaining this from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

nasb@Mark:13:46 @Joseph bought a linen cloth, took Him down, wrapped Him in the linen cloth and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.

nasb@Mark:13:47 @Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where He was laid.

nasb@Mark:14:1 @When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him.

nasb@Mark:14:2 @Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

nasb@Mark:14:3 @They were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?"

nasb@Mark:14:4 @Looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, although it was extremely large.

nasb@Mark:14:5 @Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe; and they were amazed.

nasb@Mark:14:6 @And he said to them, " Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him.

nasb@Mark:14:7" @But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ' He is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you.'"

nasb@Mark:14:8 @They went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had gripped them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

nasb@Mark:14:9 @[ Now after He had risen early on the first day of the week, He first appeared to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons.

nasb@Mark:14:10 @She went and reported to those who had been with Him, while they were mourning and weeping.

nasb@Mark:14:11 @When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they refused to believe it.

nasb@Mark:14:12 @After that, He appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking along on their way to the country.

nasb@Mark:14:13 @They went away and reported it to the others, but they did not believe them either.

nasb@Mark:14:14 @Afterward He appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He reproached them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen.

nasb@Mark:14:15 @And He said to them, " Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

nasb@Mark:14:16" @ He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.

nasb@Mark:14:17" @These signs will accompany those who have believed- in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;

nasb@Mark:14:18 @they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

nasb@Mark:14:19 @So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

nasb@Mark:14:20 @And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.] [ And they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions. And after that, Jesus Himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.]

nasb@Luke:1:1 @Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us,

nasb@Luke:1:2 @just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word,

nasb@Luke:1:3 @it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus;

nasb@Luke:1:4 @so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.

nasb@Luke:1:5 @In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

nasb@Luke:1:6 @They were both righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord.

nasb@Luke:1:7 @But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.

nasb@Luke:1:8 @Now it happened that while he was performing his priestly service before God in the appointed order of his division,

nasb@Luke:1:9 @according to the custom of the priestly office, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.

nasb@Luke:1:10 @And the whole multitude of the people were in prayer outside at the hour of the incense offering.

nasb@Luke:1:11 @And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense.

nasb@Luke:1:12 @Zacharias was troubled when he saw the angel, and fear gripped him.

nasb@Luke:1:13 @But the angel said to him, " Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will give him the name John.

nasb@Luke:1:14" @You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.

nasb@Luke:1:15" @For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and he will drink no wine or liquor, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit while yet in his mother's womb.

nasb@Luke:1:16" @And he will turn many of the sons of Israel back to the Lord their God.

nasb@Luke:1:17" @It is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, TO TURN THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS BACK TO THE CHILDREN, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous, so as to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."

nasb@Luke:1:18 @Zacharias said to the angel, "How will I know this for certain? For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years."

nasb@Luke:1:19 @The angel answered and said to him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.

nasb@Luke:1:20" @And behold, you shall be silent and unable to speak until the day when these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time."

nasb@Luke:1:21 @The people were waiting for Zacharias, and were wondering at his delay in the temple.

nasb@Luke:1:22 @But when he came out, he was unable to speak to them; and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he kept making signs to them, and remained mute.

nasb@Luke:1:23 @When the days of his priestly service were ended, he went back home.

nasb@Luke:1:24 @After these days Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself in seclusion for five months, saying,

nasb@Luke:1:25" @This is the way the Lord has dealt with me in the days when He looked with favor upon me, to take away my disgrace among men."

nasb@Luke:1:26 @Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth,

nasb@Luke:1:27 @to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

nasb@Luke:1:28 @And coming in, he said to her, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you."

nasb@Luke:1:29 @But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was.

nasb@Luke:1:30 @The angel said to her, " Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God.

nasb@Luke:1:31" @And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus.

nasb@Luke:1:32" @He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David;

nasb@Luke:1:33 @and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end."

nasb@Luke:1:34 @Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?"

nasb@Luke:1:35 @The angel answered and said to her, " The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.

nasb@Luke:1:36" @And behold, even your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age; and she who was called barren is now in her sixth month.

nasb@Luke:1:37" @For nothing will be impossible with God."

nasb@Luke:1:38 @And Mary said, "Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.

nasb@Luke:1:39 @Now at this time Mary arose and went in a hurry to the hill country, to a city of Judah,

nasb@Luke:1:40 @and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.

nasb@Luke:1:41 @When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Luke:1:42 @And she cried out with a loud voice and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

nasb@Luke:1:43" @And how has it happened to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me?

nasb@Luke:1:44" @For behold, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy.

nasb@Luke:1:45" @And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord."

nasb@Luke:1:46 @And Mary said- " My soul exalts the Lord,

nasb@Luke:1:47 @And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

nasb@Luke:1:48" @For He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave; For behold, from this time on all generations will count me blessed.

nasb@Luke:1:49" @For the Mighty One has done great things for me; And holy is His name.

nasb@Luke:1:50" @ AND HIS MERCY IS UPON GENERATION AFTER GENERATION TOWARD THOSE WHO FEAR HIM.

nasb@Luke:1:51" @ He has done mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who were proud in the thoughts of their heart.

nasb@Luke:1:52" @He has brought down rulers from their thrones, And has exalted those who were humble.

nasb@Luke:1:53" @ HE HAS FILLED THE HUNGRY WITH GOOD THINGS; And sent away the rich empty-handed.

nasb@Luke:1:54" @He has given help to Israel His servant, In remembrance of His mercy,

nasb@Luke:1:55 @As He spoke to our fathers, To Abraham and his descendants forever."

nasb@Luke:1:56 @And Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her home.

nasb@Luke:1:57 @Now the time had come for Elizabeth to give birth, and she gave birth to a son.

nasb@Luke:1:58 @Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had displayed His great mercy toward her; and they were rejoicing with her.

nasb@Luke:1:59 @And it happened that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to call him Zacharias, after his father.

nasb@Luke:1:60 @But his mother answered and said, "No indeed; but he shall be called John."

nasb@Luke:1:61 @And they said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by that name."

nasb@Luke:1:62 @And they made signs to his father, as to what he wanted him called.

nasb@Luke:1:63 @And he asked for a tablet and wrote as follows, " His name is John." And they were all astonished.

nasb@Luke:1:64 @And at once his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he began to speak in praise of God.

nasb@Luke:1:65 @Fear came on all those living around them; and all these matters were being talked about in all the hill country of Judea.

nasb@Luke:1:66 @All who heard them kept them in mind, saying, "What then will this child turn out to be?" For the hand of the Lord was certainly with him.

nasb@Luke:1:67 @And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying-

nasb@Luke:1:68" @ Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, For He has visited us and accomplished redemption for His people,

nasb@Luke:1:69 @And has raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of David His servant--

nasb@Luke:1:70 @As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from of old--

nasb@Luke:1:71 @Salvation FROM OUR ENEMIES, And FROM THE HAND OF ALL WHO HATE US;

nasb@Luke:1:72 @To show mercy toward our fathers, And to remember His holy covenant,

nasb@Luke:1:73 @The oath which He swore to Abraham our father,

nasb@Luke:1:74 @To grant us that we, being rescued from the hand of our enemies, Might serve Him without fear,

nasb@Luke:1:75 @In holiness and righteousness before Him all our days.

nasb@Luke:1:76" @And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; For you will go on BEFORE THE LORD TO PREPARE HIS WAYS;

nasb@Luke:1:77 @To give to His people the knowledge of salvation By the forgiveness of their sins,

nasb@Luke:1:78 @Because of the tender mercy of our God, With which the Sunrise from on high will visit us,

nasb@Luke:1:79 @TO SHINE UPON THOSE WHO SIT IN DARKNESS AND THE SHADOW OF DEATH, To guide our feet into the way of peace."

nasb@Luke:1:80 @And the child continued to grow and to become strong in spirit, and he lived in the deserts until the day of his public appearance to Israel.

nasb@Luke:2:1 @Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth.

nasb@Luke:2:10 @But the angel said to them, " Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people;

nasb@Luke:2:11 @for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

nasb@Luke:2:12" @ This will be a sign for you- you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

nasb@Luke:2:13 @And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

nasb@Luke:2:14" @ Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased."

nasb@Luke:2:15 @When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, "Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us."

nasb@Luke:2:16 @So they came in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger.

nasb@Luke:2:17 @When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child.

nasb@Luke:2:18 @And all who heard it wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.

nasb@Luke:2:19 @But Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart.

nasb@Luke:2:21 @And when eight days had passed, before His circumcision, His name was then called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

nasb@Luke:2:31 @Which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples,

nasb@Luke:2:41 @Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.

nasb@Luke:2:51 @And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart.

nasb@Luke:3:1 @Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,

nasb@Luke:3:10 @And the crowds were questioning him, saying, " Then what shall we do?"

nasb@Luke:3:11 @And he would answer and say to them, "The man who has two tunics is to share with him who has none; and he who has food is to do likewise."

nasb@Luke:3:12 @And some tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?"

nasb@Luke:3:13 @And he said to them, "Collect no more than what you have been ordered to."

nasb@Luke:3:14 @Some soldiers were questioning him, saying, "And what about us, what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Do not take money from anyone by force, or accuse anyone falsely, and be content with your wages."

nasb@Luke:3:15 @Now while the people were in a state of expectation and all were wondering in their hearts about John, as to whether he was the Christ,

nasb@Luke:3:16 @John answered and said to them all, "As for me, I baptize you with water; but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the thong of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

nasb@Luke:3:17" @His winnowing fork is in His hand to thoroughly clear His threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

nasb@Luke:3:18 @So with many other exhortations he preached the gospel to the people.

nasb@Luke:3:19 @But when Herod the tetrarch was reprimanded by him because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and because of all the wicked things which Herod had done,

nasb@Luke:3:21 @Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened,

nasb@Luke:3:31 @the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David,

nasb@Luke:4:1 @Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led around by the Spirit in the wilderness

nasb@Luke:4:10 @for it is written, ' HE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU TO GUARD YOU,'

nasb@Luke:4:11 @and, ' ON their HANDS THEY WILL BEAR YOU UP, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.'"

nasb@Luke:4:12 @And Jesus answered and said to him, "It is said, ' YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.'"

nasb@Luke:4:13 @When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

nasb@Luke:4:14 @And Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about Him spread through all the surrounding district.

nasb@Luke:4:15 @And He began teaching in their synagogues and was praised by all.

nasb@Luke:4:16 @And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read.

nasb@Luke:4:17 @And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written,

nasb@Luke:4:18" @ THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED,

nasb@Luke:4:19 @TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD."

nasb@Luke:4:21 @And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."

nasb@Luke:4:31 @And He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and He was teaching them on the Sabbath;

nasb@Luke:4:41 @Demons also were coming out of many, shouting, "You are the Son of God!" But rebuking them, He would not allow them to speak, because they knew Him to be the Christ.

nasb@Luke:5:1 @Now it happened that while the crowd was pressing around Him and listening to the word of God, He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;

nasb@Luke:5:10 @and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, " Do not fear, from now on you will be catching men."

nasb@Luke:5:11 @When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him.

nasb@Luke:5:12 @While He was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man covered with leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."

nasb@Luke:5:13 @And He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately the leprosy left him.

nasb@Luke:5:14 @And He ordered him to tell no one, "But go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

nasb@Luke:5:15 @But the news about Him was spreading even farther, and large crowds were gathering to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

nasb@Luke:5:16 @But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray.

nasb@Luke:5:17 @One day He was teaching; and there were some Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present for Him to perform healing.

nasb@Luke:5:18 @And some men were carrying on a bed a man who was paralyzed; and they were trying to bring him in and to set him down in front of Him.

nasb@Luke:5:19 @But not finding any way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiles with his stretcher, into the middle of the crowd, in front of Jesus.

nasb@Luke:5:21 @The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, " Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?"

nasb@Luke:5:31 @And Jesus answered and said to them, " It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick.

nasb@Luke:6:1 @Now it happened that He was passing through some grainfields on a Sabbath; and His disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating the grain.

nasb@Luke:6:10 @After looking around at them all, He said to him, "Stretch out your hand!" And he did so; and his hand was restored.

nasb@Luke:6:11 @But they themselves were filled with rage, and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.

nasb@Luke:6:12 @It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God.

nasb@Luke:6:13 @And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as apostles-

nasb@Luke:6:14 @Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;

nasb@Luke:6:15 @and Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot;

nasb@Luke:6:16 @Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

nasb@Luke:6:17 @Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was a large crowd of His disciples, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon,

nasb@Luke:6:18 @who had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured.

nasb@Luke:6:19 @And all the people were trying to touch Him, for power was coming from Him and healing them all.

nasb@Luke:6:21" @Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.

nasb@Luke:6:31" @ Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.

nasb@Luke:6:41" @Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

nasb@Luke:7:1 @When He had completed all His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

nasb@Luke:7:10 @When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.

nasb@Luke:7:11 @Soon afterwards He went to a city called Nain; and His disciples were going along with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

nasb@Luke:7:12 @Now as He approached the gate of the city, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a sizeable crowd from the city was with her.

nasb@Luke:7:13 @When the Lord saw her, He felt compassion for her, and said to her, "Do not weep."

nasb@Luke:7:14 @And He came up and touched the coffin; and the bearers came to a halt. And He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise!"

nasb@Luke:7:15 @The dead man sat up and began to speak. And Jesus gave him back to his mother.

nasb@Luke:7:16 @Fear gripped them all, and they began glorifying God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and, "God has visited His people!"

nasb@Luke:7:17 @This report concerning Him went out all over Judea and in all the surrounding district.

nasb@Luke:7:18 @The disciples of John reported to him about all these things.

nasb@Luke:7:19 @Summoning two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, "Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someone else?"

nasb@Luke:7:21 @At that very time He cured many people of diseases and afflictions and evil spirits; and He gave sight to many who were blind.

nasb@Luke:7:31" @To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?

nasb@Luke:7:41" @A moneylender had two debtors- one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

nasb@Luke:8:1 @Soon afterwards, He began going around from one city and village to another, proclaiming and preaching the kingdom of God. The twelve were with Him,

nasb@Luke:8:10 @And He said, " To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that SEEING THEY MAY NOT SEE, AND HEARING THEY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND.

nasb@Luke:8:11" @Now the parable is this- the seed is the word of God.

nasb@Luke:8:12" @Those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they will not believe and be saved.

nasb@Luke:8:13" @Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away.

nasb@Luke:8:14" @The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

nasb@Luke:8:15" @But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance.

nasb@Luke:8:16" @Now no one after lighting a lamp covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light.

nasb@Luke:8:17" @ For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

nasb@Luke:8:18" @So take care how you listen; for whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him."

nasb@Luke:8:19 @And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd.

nasb@Luke:8:21 @But He answered and said to them, "My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it."

nasb@Luke:8:31 @They were imploring Him not to command them to go away into the abyss.

nasb@Luke:8:41 @And there came a man named Jairus, and he was an official of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus' feet, and began to implore Him to come to his house;

nasb@Luke:8:51 @When He came to the house, He did not allow anyone to enter with Him, except Peter and John and James, and the girl's father and mother.

nasb@Luke:9:1 @And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases.

nasb@Luke:9:10 @When the apostles returned, they gave an account to Him of all that they had done. Taking them with Him, He withdrew by Himself to a city called Bethsaida.

nasb@Luke:9:11 @But the crowds were aware of this and followed Him; and welcoming them, He began speaking to them about the kingdom of God and curing those who had need of healing.

nasb@Luke:9:12 @Now the day was ending, and the twelve came and said to Him, "Send the crowd away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and get something to eat; for here we are in a desolate place."

nasb@Luke:9:13 @But He said to them, "You give them something to eat!" And they said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we go and buy food for all these people."

nasb@Luke:9:14 @(For there were about five thousand men.) And He said to His disciples, "Have them sit down to eat in groups of about fifty each."

nasb@Luke:9:15 @They did so, and had them all sit down.

nasb@Luke:9:16 @Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them, and broke them, and kept giving them to the disciples to set before the people.

nasb@Luke:9:17 @And they all ate and were satisfied; and the broken pieces which they had left over were picked up, twelve baskets full.

nasb@Luke:9:18 @And it happened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, "Who do the people say that I am?"

nasb@Luke:9:19 @They answered and said, "John the Baptist, and others say Elijah; but others, that one of the prophets of old has risen again."

nasb@Luke:9:21 @But He warned them and instructed them not to tell this to anyone,

nasb@Luke:9:31 @who, appearing in glory, were speaking of His departure which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

nasb@Luke:9:41 @And Jesus answered and said, "You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here."

nasb@Luke:9:51 @When the days were approaching for His ascension, He was determined to go to Jerusalem;

nasb@Luke:9:61 @Another also said, "I will follow You, Lord; but first permit me to say good-bye to those at home."

nasb@Luke:10:1 @Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.

nasb@Luke:10:2 @And He was saying to them, " The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

nasb@Luke:10:3" @Go; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.

nasb@Luke:10:4" @ Carry no money belt, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way.

nasb@Luke:10:5" @Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'

nasb@Luke:10:6" @If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.

nasb@Luke:10:7" @Stay in that house, eating and drinking what they give you; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house.

nasb@Luke:10:8" @Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you;

nasb@Luke:10:9 @and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ' The kingdom of God has come near to you.'

nasb@Luke:10:10" @But whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

nasb@Luke:10:11 @' Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.'

nasb@Luke:10:12" @I say to you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

nasb@Luke:10:13" @ Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

nasb@Luke:10:14" @But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

nasb@Luke:10:15" @And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will be brought down to Hades!

nasb@Luke:10:16" @ The one who listens to you listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me."

nasb@Luke:10:17 @The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name."

nasb@Luke:10:18 @And He said to them, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.

nasb@Luke:10:19" @Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.

nasb@Luke:10:20" @Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven."

nasb@Luke:10:21 @At that very time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I praise You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.

nasb@Luke:10:22" @ All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him."

nasb@Luke:10:23 @Turning to the disciples, He said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see,

nasb@Luke:10:24 @for I say to you, that many prophets and kings wished to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them."

nasb@Luke:10:25 @And a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

nasb@Luke:10:26 @And He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?"

nasb@Luke:10:27 @And he answered, " YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

nasb@Luke:10:28 @And He said to him, "You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE."

nasb@Luke:10:29 @But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

nasb@Luke:10:30 @Jesus replied and said, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.

nasb@Luke:10:31" @And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

nasb@Luke:10:32" @Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

nasb@Luke:10:33" @But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,

nasb@Luke:10:34 @and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

nasb@Luke:10:35" @On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.'

nasb@Luke:10:36" @Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers' hands?"

nasb@Luke:10:37 @And he said, "The one who showed mercy toward him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same."

nasb@Luke:10:38 @Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.

nasb@Luke:10:39 @She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord's feet, listening to His word.

nasb@Luke:10:40 @But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me."

nasb@Luke:10:41 @But the Lord answered and said to her, " Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things;

nasb@Luke:10:42 @but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her."

nasb@Luke:11:1 @It happened that while Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples."

nasb@Luke:11:2 @And He said to them, " When you pray, say- ' Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

nasb@Luke:11:3 @'Give us each day our daily bread.

nasb@Luke:11:4 @'And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.'"

nasb@Luke:11:5 @Then He said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves;

nasb@Luke:11:6 @for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him';

nasb@Luke:11:7 @and from inside he answers and says, 'Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.'

nasb@Luke:11:8" @I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

nasb@Luke:11:9" @So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

nasb@Luke:11:10" @For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.

nasb@Luke:11:11" @Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?

nasb@Luke:11:12" @Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he?

nasb@Luke:11:13" @ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?"

nasb@Luke:11:14 @And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute; when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed.

nasb@Luke:11:15 @But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons."

nasb@Luke:11:16 @Others, to test Him, were demanding of Him a sign from heaven.

nasb@Luke:11:17 @But He knew their thoughts and said to them, "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls.

nasb@Luke:11:18" @If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.

nasb@Luke:11:19" @And if I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? So they will be your judges.

nasb@Luke:11:20" @But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

nasb@Luke:11:21" @When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed.

nasb@Luke:11:22" @But when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away from him all his armor on which he had relied and distributes his plunder.

nasb@Luke:11:23" @ He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters.

nasb@Luke:11:24" @ When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding any, it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.'

nasb@Luke:11:25" @And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order.

nasb@Luke:11:26" @Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first."

nasb@Luke:11:27 @While Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, " Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed."

nasb@Luke:11:28 @But He said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it."

nasb@Luke:11:29 @As the crowds were increasing, He began to say, " This generation is a wicked generation; it seeks for a sign, and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.

nasb@Luke:11:30" @For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.

nasb@Luke:11:31" @The Queen of the South will rise up with the men of this generation at the judgment and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

nasb@Luke:11:32" @The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

nasb@Luke:11:33" @ No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar nor under a basket, but on the lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.

nasb@Luke:11:34" @ The eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is clear, your whole body also is full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness.

nasb@Luke:11:35" @Then watch out that the light in you is not darkness.

nasb@Luke:11:36" @If therefore your whole body is full of light, with no dark part in it, it will be wholly illumined, as when the lamp illumines you with its rays."

nasb@Luke:11:37 @Now when He had spoken, a Pharisee asked Him to have lunch with him; and He went in, and reclined at the table.

nasb@Luke:11:38 @When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that He had not first ceremonially washed before the meal.

nasb@Luke:11:39 @But the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and of the platter; but inside of you, you are full of robbery and wickedness.

nasb@Luke:11:40" @ You foolish ones, did not He who made the outside make the inside also?

nasb@Luke:11:41" @But give that which is within as charity, and then all things are clean for you.

nasb@Luke:11:42" @ But woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithe of mint and rue and every kind of garden herb, and yet disregard justice and the love of God; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.

nasb@Luke:11:43" @Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the respectful greetings in the market places.

nasb@Luke:11:44" @ Woe to you! For you are like concealed tombs, and the people who walk over them are unaware of it."

nasb@Luke:11:45 @One of the lawyers said to Him in reply, "Teacher, when You say this, You insult us too."

nasb@Luke:11:46 @But He said, "Woe to you lawyers as well! For you weigh men down with burdens hard to bear, while you yourselves will not even touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

nasb@Luke:11:47" @ Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and it was your fathers who killed them.

nasb@Luke:11:48" @So you are witnesses and approve the deeds of your fathers; because it was they who killed them, and you build their tombs.

nasb@Luke:11:49" @For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ' I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and some they will persecute,

nasb@Luke:11:50 @so that the blood of all the prophets, shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation,

nasb@Luke:11:51 @from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against this generation.'

nasb@Luke:11:52" @Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves did not enter, and you hindered those who were entering."

nasb@Luke:11:53 @When He left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very hostile and to question Him closely on many subjects,

nasb@Luke:11:54 @plotting against Him to catch Him in something He might say.

nasb@Luke:11:12 @Under these circumstances, after so many thousands of people had gathered together that they were stepping on one another, He began saying to His disciples first of all, " Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

nasb@Luke:11:2" @ But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

nasb@Luke:11:3" @Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops.

nasb@Luke:11:4" @I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do.

nasb@Luke:11:5" @But I will warn you whom to fear- fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!

nasb@Luke:11:6" @Are not five sparrows sold for two cents? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God.

nasb@Luke:11:7" @ Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

nasb@Luke:11:8" @And I say to you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will confess him also before the angels of God;

nasb@Luke:11:9 @but he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

nasb@Luke:11:10" @ And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him.

nasb@Luke:11:11" @When they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not worry about how or what you are to speak in your defense, or what you are to say;

nasb@Luke:11:12 @for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say."

nasb@Luke:11:13 @Someone in the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me."

nasb@Luke:11:14 @But He said to him, " Man, who appointed Me a judge or arbitrator over you?"

nasb@Luke:11:15 @Then He said to them, " Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions."

nasb@Luke:11:16 @And He told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man was very productive.

nasb@Luke:11:17" @And he began reasoning to himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?'

nasb@Luke:11:18" @Then he said, 'This is what I will do- I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.

nasb@Luke:11:19 @'And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry."'

nasb@Luke:11:20" @But God said to him, ' You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?'

nasb@Luke:11:21" @So is the man who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

nasb@Luke:11:22 @And He said to His disciples, " For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on.

nasb@Luke:11:23" @For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.

nasb@Luke:11:24" @Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds!

nasb@Luke:11:25" @And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life's span?

nasb@Luke:11:26" @If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters?

nasb@Luke:11:27" @Consider the lilies, how they grow- they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

nasb@Luke:11:28" @But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith!

nasb@Luke:11:29" @And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying.

nasb@Luke:11:30" @For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things.

nasb@Luke:11:31" @But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you.

nasb@Luke:11:32" @ Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.

nasb@Luke:11:33" @ Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys.

nasb@Luke:11:34" @For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

nasb@Luke:11:35" @ Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit.

nasb@Luke:11:36" @Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks.

nasb@Luke:11:37" @Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them.

nasb@Luke:11:38" @ Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.

nasb@Luke:11:39" @ But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

nasb@Luke:11:40" @ You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect."

nasb@Luke:11:41 @Peter said, "Lord, are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?"

nasb@Luke:11:42 @And the Lord said, " Who then is the faithful and sensible steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time?

nasb@Luke:11:43" @Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.

nasb@Luke:11:44" @Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

nasb@Luke:11:45" @But if that slave says in his heart, 'My master will be a long time in coming,' and begins to beat the slaves, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk;

nasb@Luke:11:46 @the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

nasb@Luke:11:47" @And that slave who knew his master's will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes,

nasb@Luke:11:48 @but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.

nasb@Luke:11:49" @I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!

nasb@Luke:11:50" @But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

nasb@Luke:11:51" @ Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division;

nasb@Luke:11:52 @for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

nasb@Luke:11:53" @They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

nasb@Luke:11:54 @And He was also saying to the crowds, " When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it turns out.

nasb@Luke:11:55" @And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, 'It will be a hot day,' and it turns out that way.

nasb@Luke:11:56" @You hypocrites! You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not analyze this present time?

nasb@Luke:11:57" @And why do you not even on your own initiative judge what is right?

nasb@Luke:11:58" @For while you are going with your opponent to appear before the magistrate, on your way there make an effort to settle with him, so that he may not drag you before the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.

nasb@Luke:11:59" @I say to you, you will not get out of there until you have paid the very last cent."

nasb@Luke:12:1 @Now on the same occasion there were some present who reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

nasb@Luke:12:2 @And Jesus said to them, " Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate?

nasb@Luke:12:3" @I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.

nasb@Luke:12:4" @Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem?

nasb@Luke:12:5" @I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."

nasb@Luke:12:6 @And He began telling this parable- "A man had a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any.

nasb@Luke:12:7" @And he said to the vineyard-keeper, 'Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree without finding any. Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground?'

nasb@Luke:12:8" @And he answered and said to him, 'Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and put in fertilizer;

nasb@Luke:12:9 @and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but if not, cut it down.'"

nasb@Luke:12:10 @And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.

nasb@Luke:12:11 @And there was a woman who for eighteen years had had a sickness caused by a spirit; and she was bent double, and could not straighten up at all.

nasb@Luke:12:12 @When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your sickness."

nasb@Luke:12:13 @And He laid His hands on her; and immediately she was made erect again and began glorifying God.

nasb@Luke:12:14 @But the synagogue official, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, began saying to the crowd in response, " There are six days in which work should be done; so come during them and get healed, and not on the Sabbath day."

nasb@Luke:12:15 @But the Lord answered him and said, "You hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead him away to water him?

nasb@Luke:12:16" @And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?"

nasb@Luke:12:17 @As He said this, all His opponents were being humiliated; and the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things being done by Him.

nasb@Luke:12:18 @So He was saying, " What is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?

nasb@Luke:12:19" @It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and THE BIRDS OF THE AIR NESTED IN ITS BRANCHES."

nasb@Luke:12:20 @And again He said, " To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?

nasb@Luke:12:21" @ It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened."

nasb@Luke:12:22 @And He was passing through from one city and village to another, teaching, and proceeding on His way to Jerusalem.

nasb@Luke:12:23 @And someone said to Him, "Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?" And He said to them,

nasb@Luke:12:24" @ Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.

nasb@Luke:12:25" @Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ' Lord, open up to us!' then He will answer and say to you, ' I do not know where you are from.'

nasb@Luke:12:26" @Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets';

nasb@Luke:12:27 @and He will say, 'I tell you, I do not know where you are from; DEPART FROM ME, ALL YOU EVILDOERS.'

nasb@Luke:12:28" @ In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves being thrown out.

nasb@Luke:12:29" @And they will come from east and west and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

nasb@Luke:12:30" @And behold, some are last who will be first and some are first who will be last."

nasb@Luke:12:31 @Just at that time some Pharisees approached, saying to Him, "Go away, leave here, for Herod wants to kill You."

nasb@Luke:12:32 @And He said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I reach My goal.'

nasb@Luke:12:33" @Nevertheless I must journey on today and tomorrow and the next day; for it cannot be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.

nasb@Luke:12:34" @ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not have it!

nasb@Luke:12:35" @Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say, ' BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!'"

nasb@Luke:13:1 @It happened that when He went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching Him closely.

nasb@Luke:13:2 @And there in front of Him was a man suffering from dropsy.

nasb@Luke:13:3 @And Jesus answered and spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, " Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?"

nasb@Luke:13:4 @But they kept silent. And He took hold of him and healed him, and sent him away.

nasb@Luke:13:5 @And He said to them, " Which one of you will have a son or an ox fall into a well, and will not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?"

nasb@Luke:13:6 @And they could make no reply to this.

nasb@Luke:13:7 @And He began speaking a parable to the invited guests when He noticed how they had been picking out the places of honor at the table, saying to them,

nasb@Luke:13:8" @When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for someone more distinguished than you may have been invited by him,

nasb@Luke:13:9 @and he who invited you both will come and say to you, 'Give your place to this man,' and then in disgrace you proceed to occupy the last place.

nasb@Luke:13:10" @But when you are invited, go and recline at the last place, so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, 'Friend, move up higher'; then you will have honor in the sight of all who are at the table with you.

nasb@Luke:13:11" @ For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

nasb@Luke:13:12 @And He also went on to say to the one who had invited Him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, otherwise they may also invite you in return and that will be your repayment.

nasb@Luke:13:13" @But when you give a reception, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,

nasb@Luke:13:14 @and you will be blessed, since they do not have the means to repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."

nasb@Luke:13:15 @When one of those who were reclining at the table with Him heard this, he said to Him, " Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!"

nasb@Luke:13:16 @But He said to him, " A man was giving a big dinner, and he invited many;

nasb@Luke:13:17 @and at the dinner hour he sent his slave to say to those who had been invited, 'Come; for everything is ready now.'

nasb@Luke:13:18" @But they all alike began to make excuses. The first one said to him, 'I have bought a piece of land and I need to go out and look at it; please consider me excused.'

nasb@Luke:13:19" @Another one said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out; please consider me excused.'

nasb@Luke:13:20" @Another one said, ' I have married a wife, and for that reason I cannot come.'

nasb@Luke:13:21" @And the slave came back and reported this to his master. Then the head of the household became angry and said to his slave, 'Go out at once into the streets and lanes of the city and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.'

nasb@Luke:13:22" @And the slave said, 'Master, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.'

nasb@Luke:13:23" @And the master said to the slave, 'Go out into the highways and along the hedges, and compel them to come in, so that my house may be filled.

nasb@Luke:13:24 @'For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste of my dinner.'"

nasb@Luke:13:25 @Now large crowds were going along with Him; and He turned and said to them,

nasb@Luke:13:26" @ If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.

nasb@Luke:13:27" @Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

nasb@Luke:13:28" @For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it?

nasb@Luke:13:29" @Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him,

nasb@Luke:13:30 @saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'

nasb@Luke:13:31" @Or what king, when he sets out to meet another king in battle, will not first sit down and consider whether he is strong enough with ten thousand men to encounter the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

nasb@Luke:13:32" @Or else, while the other is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace.

nasb@Luke:13:33" @So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.

nasb@Luke:13:34" @Therefore, salt is good; but if even salt has become tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?

nasb@Luke:13:35" @It is useless either for the soil or for the manure pile; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

nasb@Luke:14:1 @Now all the tax collectors and the sinners were coming near Him to listen to Him.

nasb@Luke:14:2 @Both the Pharisees and the scribes began to grumble, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them."

nasb@Luke:14:3 @So He told them this parable, saying,

nasb@Luke:14:4" @ What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?

nasb@Luke:14:5" @When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

nasb@Luke:14:6" @And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!'

nasb@Luke:14:7" @I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

nasb@Luke:14:8" @Or what woman, if she has ten silver coins and loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?

nasb@Luke:14:9" @When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost!'

nasb@Luke:14:10" @In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

nasb@Luke:14:11 @And He said, "A man had two sons.

nasb@Luke:14:12" @The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of the estate that falls to me.' So he divided his wealth between them.

nasb@Luke:14:13" @And not many days later, the younger son gathered everything together and went on a journey into a distant country, and there he squandered his estate with loose living.

nasb@Luke:14:14" @Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine occurred in that country, and he began to be impoverished.

nasb@Luke:14:15" @So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

nasb@Luke:14:16" @And he would have gladly filled his stomach with the pods that the swine were eating, and no one was giving anything to him.

nasb@Luke:14:17" @But when he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have more than enough bread, but I am dying here with hunger!

nasb@Luke:14:18 @'I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight;

nasb@Luke:14:19 @I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired men."'

nasb@Luke:14:20" @So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.

nasb@Luke:14:21" @And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

nasb@Luke:14:22" @But the father said to his slaves, 'Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;

nasb@Luke:14:23 @and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and celebrate;

nasb@Luke:14:24 @for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.' And they began to celebrate.

nasb@Luke:14:25" @Now his older son was in the field, and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

nasb@Luke:14:26" @And he summoned one of the servants and began inquiring what these things could be.

nasb@Luke:14:27" @And he said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has received him back safe and sound.'

nasb@Luke:14:28" @But he became angry and was not willing to go in; and his father came out and began pleading with him.

nasb@Luke:14:29" @But he answered and said to his father, 'Look! For so many years I have been serving you and I have never neglected a command of yours; and yet you have never given me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends;

nasb@Luke:14:30 @but when this son of yours came, who has devoured your wealth with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.'

nasb@Luke:14:31" @And he said to him, 'Son, you have always been with me, and all that is mine is yours.

nasb@Luke:14:32 @'But we had to celebrate and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has begun to live, and was lost and has been found.'"

nasb@Luke:14:16 @Now He was also saying to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had a manager, and this manager was reported to him as squandering his possessions.

nasb@Luke:14:2" @And he called him and said to him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'

nasb@Luke:14:3" @The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg.

nasb@Luke:14:4 @'I know what I shall do, so that when I am removed from the management people will welcome me into their homes.'

nasb@Luke:14:5" @And he summoned each one of his master's debtors, and he began saying to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?'

nasb@Luke:14:6" @And he said, 'A hundred measures of oil.' And he said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'

nasb@Luke:14:7" @Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' And he said, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'

nasb@Luke:14:8" @And his master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this age are more shrewd in relation to their own kind than the sons of light.

nasb@Luke:14:9" @And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.

nasb@Luke:14:10" @ He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much.

nasb@Luke:14:11" @Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you?

nasb@Luke:14:12" @And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?

nasb@Luke:14:13" @ No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth."

nasb@Luke:14:14 @Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these things and were scoffing at Him.

nasb@Luke:14:15 @And He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God.

nasb@Luke:14:16" @ The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John; since that time the gospel of the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.

nasb@Luke:14:17" @ But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter of the Law to fail.

nasb@Luke:14:18" @ Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.

nasb@Luke:14:19" @Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day.

nasb@Luke:14:20" @And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores,

nasb@Luke:14:21 @and longing to be fed with the crumbs which were falling from the rich man's table; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores.

nasb@Luke:14:22" @Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried.

nasb@Luke:14:23" @In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom.

nasb@Luke:14:24" @And he cried out and said, ' Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.'

nasb@Luke:14:25" @But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony.

nasb@Luke:14:26 @'And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.'

nasb@Luke:14:27" @And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father's house--

nasb@Luke:14:28 @for I have five brothers--in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'

nasb@Luke:14:29" @But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.'

nasb@Luke:14:30" @But he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!'

nasb@Luke:14:31" @But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.'"

nasb@Luke:14:17 @He said to His disciples, " It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come!

nasb@Luke:14:2" @ It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.

nasb@Luke:14:3" @Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

nasb@Luke:14:4" @And if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, 'I repent,' forgive him."

nasb@Luke:14:5 @The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"

nasb@Luke:14:6 @And the Lord said, "If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea'; and it would obey you.

nasb@Luke:14:7" @Which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down to eat'?

nasb@Luke:14:8" @But will he not say to him, ' Prepare something for me to eat, and properly clothe yourself and serve me while I eat and drink; and afterward you may eat and drink'?

nasb@Luke:14:9" @He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded, does he?

nasb@Luke:14:10" @So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.'"

nasb@Luke:14:11 @While He was on the way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

nasb@Luke:14:12 @As He entered a village, ten leprous men who stood at a distance met Him;

nasb@Luke:14:13 @and they raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"

nasb@Luke:14:14 @When He saw them, He said to them, " Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they were going, they were cleansed.

nasb@Luke:14:15 @Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,

nasb@Luke:14:16 @and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a Samaritan.

nasb@Luke:14:17 @Then Jesus answered and said, "Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine--where are they?

nasb@Luke:14:18" @Was no one found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?"

nasb@Luke:14:19 @And He said to him, "Stand up and go; your faith has made you well."

nasb@Luke:14:20 @Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed;

nasb@Luke:14:21 @nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst."

nasb@Luke:14:22 @And He said to the disciples, " The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

nasb@Luke:14:23" @ They will say to you, 'Look there! Look here!' Do not go away, and do not run after them.

nasb@Luke:14:24" @ For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part of the sky, shines to the other part of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day.

nasb@Luke:14:25" @ But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

nasb@Luke:14:26" @ And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man-

nasb@Luke:14:27 @they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

nasb@Luke:14:28" @It was the same as happened in the days of Lot- they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;

nasb@Luke:14:29 @but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

nasb@Luke:14:30" @It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

nasb@Luke:14:31" @On that day, the one who is on the housetop and whose goods are in the house must not go down to take them out; and likewise the one who is in the field must not turn back.

nasb@Luke:14:32" @ Remember Lot's wife.

nasb@Luke:14:33" @ Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.

nasb@Luke:14:34" @I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left.

nasb@Luke:14:35" @ There will be two women grinding at the same place; one will be taken and the other will be left.

nasb@Luke:14:36 @[" Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left."]

nasb@Luke:14:37 @And answering they said to Him, "Where, LordNULL" And He said to them, " Where the body is, there also the vultures will be gathered."

nasb@Luke:15:1 @Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart,

nasb@Luke:15:2 @saying, "In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect man.

nasb@Luke:15:3" @There was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, 'Give me legal protection from my opponent.'

nasb@Luke:15:4" @For a while he was unwilling; but afterward he said to himself, 'Even though I do not fear God nor respect man,

nasb@Luke:15:5 @yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her legal protection, otherwise by continually coming she will wear me out.'"

nasb@Luke:15:6 @And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge said;

nasb@Luke:15:7 @now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them?

nasb@Luke:15:8" @I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?"

nasb@Luke:15:9 @And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt-

nasb@Luke:15:10" @Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

nasb@Luke:15:11" @The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself- 'God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

nasb@Luke:15:12 @'I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.'

nasb@Luke:15:13" @But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!'

nasb@Luke:15:14" @I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."

nasb@Luke:15:15 @And they were bringing even their babies to Him so that He would touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they began rebuking them.

nasb@Luke:15:16 @But Jesus called for them, saying, "Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

nasb@Luke:15:17" @Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all."

nasb@Luke:15:18 @A ruler questioned Him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

nasb@Luke:15:19 @And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

nasb@Luke:15:20" @You know the commandments, ' DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.'"

nasb@Luke:15:21 @And he said, "All these things I have kept from my youth."

nasb@Luke:15:22 @When Jesus heard this, He said to him, "One thing you still lack; sell all that you possess and distribute it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

nasb@Luke:15:23 @But when he had heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich.

nasb@Luke:15:24 @And Jesus looked at him and said, " How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!

nasb@Luke:15:25" @For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

nasb@Luke:15:26 @They who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"

nasb@Luke:15:27 @But He said, " The things that are impossible with people are possible with God."

nasb@Luke:15:28 @Peter said, "Behold, we have left our own homes and followed You."

nasb@Luke:15:29 @And He said to them, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

nasb@Luke:15:30 @who will not receive many times as much at this time and in the age to come, eternal life."

nasb@Luke:15:31 @Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.

nasb@Luke:15:32" @ For He will be handed over to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and mistreated and spit upon,

nasb@Luke:15:33 @and after they have scourged Him, they will kill Him; and the third day He will rise again."

nasb@Luke:15:34 @But the disciples understood none of these things, and the meaning of this statement was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said.

nasb@Luke:15:35 @As Jesus was approaching Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging.

nasb@Luke:15:36 @Now hearing a crowd going by, he began to inquire what this was.

nasb@Luke:15:37 @They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

nasb@Luke:15:38 @And he called out, saying, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

nasb@Luke:15:39 @Those who led the way were sternly telling him to be quiet; but he kept crying out all the more, " Son of David, have mercy on me!"

nasb@Luke:15:40 @And Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to Him; and when he came near, He questioned him,

nasb@Luke:15:41" @What do you want Me to do for you?" And he said, "Lord, I want to regain my sight!"

nasb@Luke:15:42 @And Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well."

nasb@Luke:15:43 @Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him, glorifying God; and when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God.

nasb@Luke:16:1 @He entered Jericho and was passing through.

nasb@Luke:16:2 @And there was a man called by the name of Zaccheus; he was a chief tax collector and he was rich.

nasb@Luke:16:3 @Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, and was unable because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.

nasb@Luke:16:4 @So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree in order to see Him, for He was about to pass through that way.

nasb@Luke:16:5 @When Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, "Zaccheus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."

nasb@Luke:16:6 @And he hurried and came down and received Him gladly.

nasb@Luke:16:7 @When they saw it, they all began to grumble, saying, "He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner."

nasb@Luke:16:8 @Zaccheus stopped and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I will give to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give back four times as much."

nasb@Luke:16:9 @And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham.

nasb@Luke:16:10" @For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."

nasb@Luke:16:11 @While they were listening to these things, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because He was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.

nasb@Luke:16:12 @So He said, " A nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and then return.

nasb@Luke:16:13" @And he called ten of his slaves, and gave them ten minas and said to them, 'Do business with this until I come back.'

nasb@Luke:16:14" @But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.'

nasb@Luke:16:15" @When he returned, after receiving the kingdom, he ordered that these slaves, to whom he had given the money, be called to him so that he might know what business they had done.

nasb@Luke:16:16" @The first appeared, saying, 'Master, your mina has made ten minas more.'

nasb@Luke:16:17" @And he said to him, 'Well done, good slave, because you have been faithful in a very little thing, you are to be in authority over ten cities.'

nasb@Luke:16:18" @The second came, saying, 'Your mina, master, has made five minas.'

nasb@Luke:16:19" @And he said to him also, 'And you are to be over five cities.'

nasb@Luke:16:20" @Another came, saying, 'Master, here is your mina, which I kept put away in a handkerchief;

nasb@Luke:16:21 @for I was afraid of you, because you are an exacting man; you take up what you did not lay down and reap what you did not sow.'

nasb@Luke:16:22" @He said to him, 'By your own words I will judge you, you worthless slave. Did you know that I am an exacting man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow?

nasb@Luke:16:23 @'Then why did you not put my money in the bank, and having come, I would have collected it with interest?'

nasb@Luke:16:24" @Then he said to the bystanders, 'Take the mina away from him and give it to the one who has the ten minas.'

nasb@Luke:16:25" @And they said to him, 'Master, he has ten minas already.'

nasb@Luke:16:26" @ I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.

nasb@Luke:16:27" @But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence."

nasb@Luke:16:28 @After He had said these things, He was going on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

nasb@Luke:16:29 @When He approached Bethphage and Bethany, near the mount that is called Olivet, He sent two of the disciples,

nasb@Luke:16:30 @saying, "Go into the village ahead of you; there, as you enter, you will find a colt tied on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

nasb@Luke:16:31" @If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' you shall say, 'The Lord has need of it.'"

nasb@Luke:16:32 @So those who were sent went away and found it just as He had told them.

nasb@Luke:16:33 @As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"

nasb@Luke:16:34 @They said, "The Lord has need of it."

nasb@Luke:16:35 @They brought it to Jesus, and they threw their coats on the colt and put Jesus on it.

nasb@Luke:16:36 @As He was going, they were spreading their coats on the road.

nasb@Luke:16:37 @As soon as He was approaching, near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen,

nasb@Luke:16:38 @shouting- " BLESSED IS THE KING WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"

nasb@Luke:16:39 @Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples."

nasb@Luke:16:40 @But Jesus answered, "I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!"

nasb@Luke:16:41 @When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it,

nasb@Luke:16:42 @saying, "If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes.

nasb@Luke:16:43" @For the days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, and surround you and hem you in on every side,

nasb@Luke:16:44 @and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation."

nasb@Luke:16:45 @Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling,

nasb@Luke:16:47 @And He was teaching daily in the temple; but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people were trying to destroy Him,

nasb@Luke:16:48 @and they could not find anything that they might do, for all the people were hanging on to every word He said.

nasb@Luke:17:1 @On one of the days while He was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders confronted Him,

nasb@Luke:17:2 @and they spoke, saying to Him, "Tell us by what authority You are doing these things, or who is the one who gave You this authority?"

nasb@Luke:17:3 @Jesus answered and said to them, "I will also ask you a question, and you tell Me-

nasb@Luke:17:4" @Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?"

nasb@Luke:17:5 @They reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'

nasb@Luke:17:6" @But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet."

nasb@Luke:17:7 @So they answered that they did not know where it came from.

nasb@Luke:17:8 @And Jesus said to them, "Nor will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

nasb@Luke:17:9 @And He began to tell the people this parable- "A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to vine-growers, and went on a journey for a long time.

nasb@Luke:17:10" @At the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, so that they would give him some of the produce of the vineyard; but the vine-growers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

nasb@Luke:17:11" @And he proceeded to send another slave; and they beat him also and treated him shamefully and sent him away empty-handed.

nasb@Luke:17:12" @And he proceeded to send a third; and this one also they wounded and cast out.

nasb@Luke:17:13" @The owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.'

nasb@Luke:17:14" @But when the vine-growers saw him, they reasoned with one another, saying, 'This is the heir; let us kill him so that the inheritance will be ours.'

nasb@Luke:17:15" @So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

nasb@Luke:17:16" @He will come and destroy these vine-growers and will give the vineyard to others." When they heard it, they said, " May it never be!"

nasb@Luke:17:17 @But Jesus looked at them and said, "What then is this that is written- ' THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone'?

nasb@Luke:17:18" @ Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust."

nasb@Luke:17:19 @The scribes and the chief priests tried to lay hands on Him that very hour, and they feared the people; for they understood that He spoke this parable against them.

nasb@Luke:17:20 @So they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, in order that they might catch Him in some statement, so that they could deliver Him to the rule and the authority of the governor.

nasb@Luke:17:21 @They questioned Him, saying, "Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth.

nasb@Luke:17:22" @Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"

nasb@Luke:17:23 @But He detected their trickery and said to them,

nasb@Luke:17:24" @Show Me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?" They said, "Caesar's."

nasb@Luke:17:25 @And He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

nasb@Luke:17:26 @And they were unable to catch Him in a saying in the presence of the people; and being amazed at His answer, they became silent.

nasb@Luke:17:27 @Now there came to Him some of the Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection),

nasb@Luke:17:28 @and they questioned Him, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that IF A MAN'S BROTHER DIES, having a wife, AND HE IS CHILDLESS, HIS BROTHER SHOULD MARRY THE WIFE AND RAISE UP CHILDREN TO HIS BROTHER.

nasb@Luke:17:29" @Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless;

nasb@Luke:17:30 @and the second

nasb@Luke:17:31 @and the third married her; and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

nasb@Luke:17:32" @Finally the woman died also.

nasb@Luke:17:33" @In the resurrection therefore, which one's wife will she be? For all seven had married her."

nasb@Luke:17:34 @Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,

nasb@Luke:17:35 @but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

nasb@Luke:17:36 @for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

nasb@Luke:17:37" @But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the burning bush, where he calls the Lord THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB.

nasb@Luke:17:38" @ Now He is not the God of the dead but of the living; for all live to Him."

nasb@Luke:17:39 @Some of the scribes answered and said, "Teacher, You have spoken well."

nasb@Luke:17:40 @For they did not have courage to question Him any longer about anything.

nasb@Luke:17:41 @Then He said to them, "How is it that they say the Christ is David's son?

nasb@Luke:17:42" @For David himself says in the book of Psalms, ' THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND,

nasb@Luke:17:43 @UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET."'

nasb@Luke:17:44" @Therefore David calls Him 'Lord,' and how is He his son?"

nasb@Luke:17:45 @And while all the people were listening, He said to the disciples,

nasb@Luke:17:46" @Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love respectful greetings in the market places, and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets,

nasb@Luke:17:47 @who devour widows' houses, and for appearance's sake offer long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation."

nasb@Luke:18:1 @And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury.

nasb@Luke:18:2 @And He saw a poor widow putting in two small copper coins.

nasb@Luke:18:3 @And He said, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them;

nasb@Luke:18:4 @for they all out of their surplus put into the offering; but she out of her poverty put in all that she had to live on."

nasb@Luke:18:5 @And while some were talking about the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and votive gifts, He said,

nasb@Luke:18:6" @As for these things which you are looking at, the days will come in which there will not be left one stone upon another which will not be torn down."

nasb@Luke:18:7 @They questioned Him, saying, "Teacher, when therefore will these things happen? And what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?"

nasb@Luke:18:8 @And He said, "See to it that you are not misled; for many will come in My name, saying, ' I am He,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not go after them.

nasb@Luke:18:9" @When you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end does not follow immediately."

nasb@Luke:18:10 @Then He continued by saying to them, "Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,

nasb@Luke:18:11 @and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

nasb@Luke:18:12" @But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name's sake.

nasb@Luke:18:13" @ It will lead to an opportunity for your testimony.

nasb@Luke:18:14" @ So make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves;

nasb@Luke:18:15 @for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute.

nasb@Luke:18:16" @But you will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death,

nasb@Luke:18:17 @and you will be hated by all because of My name.

nasb@Luke:18:18" @Yet not a hair of your head will perish.

nasb@Luke:18:19" @ By your endurance you will gain your lives.

nasb@Luke:18:20" @But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near.

nasb@Luke:18:21" @Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of the city must leave, and those who are in the country must not enter the city;

nasb@Luke:18:22 @because these are days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled.

nasb@Luke:18:23" @Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land and wrath to this people;

nasb@Luke:18:24 @and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

nasb@Luke:18:25" @There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves,

nasb@Luke:18:26 @men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

nasb@Luke:18:27" @ Then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD with power and great glory.

nasb@Luke:18:28" @But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

nasb@Luke:18:29 @Then He told them a parable- "Behold the fig tree and all the trees;

nasb@Luke:18:30 @as soon as they put forth leaves, you see it and know for yourselves that summer is now near.

nasb@Luke:18:31" @So you also, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near.

nasb@Luke:18:32" @Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place.

nasb@Luke:18:33" @ Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

nasb@Luke:18:34" @ Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap;

nasb@Luke:18:35 @for it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth.

nasb@Luke:18:36" @But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man."

nasb@Luke:18:37 @Now during the day He was teaching in the temple, but at evening He would go out and spend the night on the mount that is called Olivet.

nasb@Luke:18:38 @And all the people would get up early in the morning to come to Him in the temple to listen to Him.

nasb@Luke:19:1 @Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.

nasb@Luke:19:2 @The chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might put Him to death; for they were afraid of the people.

nasb@Luke:19:3 @And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve.

nasb@Luke:19:4 @And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he might betray Him to them.

nasb@Luke:19:5 @They were glad and agreed to give him money.

nasb@Luke:19:6 @So he consented, and began seeking a good opportunity to betray Him to them apart from the crowd.

nasb@Luke:19:7 @Then came the first day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

nasb@Luke:19:8 @And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it."

nasb@Luke:19:9 @They said to Him, "Where do You want us to prepare it?"

nasb@Luke:19:10 @And He said to them, "When you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house that he enters.

nasb@Luke:19:11" @And you shall say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"'

nasb@Luke:19:12" @And he will show you a large, furnished upper room; prepare it there."

nasb@Luke:19:13 @And they left and found everything just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

nasb@Luke:19:14 @When the hour had come, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him.

nasb@Luke:19:15 @And He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;

nasb@Luke:19:16 @for I say to you, I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."

nasb@Luke:19:17 @And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves;

nasb@Luke:19:18 @for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes."

nasb@Luke:19:19 @And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

nasb@Luke:19:20 @And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.

nasb@Luke:19:21" @ But behold, the hand of the one betraying Me is with Mine on the table.

nasb@Luke:19:22" @For indeed, the Son of Man is going as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!"

nasb@Luke:19:23 @And they began to discuss among themselves which one of them it might be who was going to do this thing.

nasb@Luke:19:24 @And there arose also a dispute among them as to which one of them was regarded to be greatest.

nasb@Luke:19:25 @And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who have authority over them are called 'Benefactors.'

nasb@Luke:19:26" @But it is not this way with you, but the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant.

nasb@Luke:19:27" @For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves.

nasb@Luke:19:28" @You are those who have stood by Me in My trials;

nasb@Luke:19:29 @and just as My Father has granted Me a kingdom, I grant you

nasb@Luke:19:30 @that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

nasb@Luke:19:31" @Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat;

nasb@Luke:19:32 @but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers."

nasb@Luke:19:33 @But he said to Him, "Lord, with You I am ready to go both to prison and to death!"

nasb@Luke:19:34 @And He said, "I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me."

nasb@Luke:19:35 @And He said to them, " When I sent you out without money belt and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?" They said, "No, nothing."

nasb@Luke:19:36 @And He said to them, "But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one.

nasb@Luke:19:37" @For I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me, ' AND HE WAS NUMBERED WITH TRANSGRESSORS'; for that which refers to Me has its fulfillment."

nasb@Luke:19:38 @They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." And He said to them, "It is enough."

nasb@Luke:19:39 @And He came out and proceeded as was His custom to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed Him.

nasb@Luke:19:40 @When He arrived at the place, He said to them, " Pray that you may not enter into temptation."

nasb@Luke:19:41 @And He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and began to pray,

nasb@Luke:19:42 @saying, "Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done."

nasb@Luke:19:43 @Now an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.

nasb@Luke:19:44 @And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.

nasb@Luke:19:45 @When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow,

nasb@Luke:19:46 @and said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not enter into temptation."

nasb@Luke:19:47 @While He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding them; and he approached Jesus to kiss Him.

nasb@Luke:19:48 @But Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"

nasb@Luke:19:49 @When those who were around Him saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"

nasb@Luke:19:50 @And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

nasb@Luke:19:51 @But Jesus answered and said, "Stop! No more of this." And He touched his ear and healed him.

nasb@Luke:19:52 @Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against a robber?

nasb@Luke:19:53" @While I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but this hour and the power of darkness are yours."

nasb@Luke:19:54 @Having arrested Him, they led Him away and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but Peter was following at a distance.

nasb@Luke:19:55 @After they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting among them.

nasb@Luke:19:56 @And a servant-girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and looking intently at him, said, "This man was with Him too."

nasb@Luke:19:57 @But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know Him."

nasb@Luke:19:58 @A little later, another saw him and said, "You are one of them too!" But Peter said, "Man, I am not!"

nasb@Luke:19:59 @After about an hour had passed, another man began to insist, saying, "Certainly this man also was with Him, for he is a Galilean too."

nasb@Luke:19:60 @But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

nasb@Luke:19:61 @The Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, " Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times."

nasb@Luke:19:62 @And he went out and wept bitterly.

nasb@Luke:19:63 @Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking Him and beating Him,

nasb@Luke:19:64 @and they blindfolded Him and were asking Him, saying, " Prophesy, who is the one who hit You?"

nasb@Luke:19:65 @And they were saying many other things against Him, blaspheming.

nasb@Luke:19:66 @When it was day, the Council of elders of the people assembled, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him away to their council chamber, saying,

nasb@Luke:19:67" @ If You are the Christ, tell us." But He said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe;

nasb@Luke:19:68 @and if I ask a question, you will not answer.

nasb@Luke:19:69" @ But from now on THE SON OF MAN WILL BE SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND of the power OF GOD."

nasb@Luke:19:70 @And they all said, "Are You the Son of God, then?" And He said to them, " Yes, I am."

nasb@Luke:19:71 @Then they said, "What further need do we have of testimonyNULL For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth."

nasb@Luke:20:1 @Then the whole body of them got up and brought Him before Pilate.

nasb@Luke:20:10 @And the chief priests and the scribes were standing there, accusing Him vehemently.

nasb@Luke:20:11 @And Herod with his soldiers, after treating Him with contempt and mocking Him, dressed Him in a gorgeous robe and sent Him back to Pilate.

nasb@Luke:20:12 @Now Herod and Pilate became friends with one another that very day; for before they had been enemies with each other.

nasb@Luke:20:13 @Pilate summoned the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

nasb@Luke:20:14 @and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one who incites the people to rebellion, and behold, having examined Him before you, I have found no guilt in this man regarding the charges which you make against Him.

nasb@Luke:20:15" @No, nor has Herod, for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing deserving death has been done by Him.

nasb@Luke:20:16" @Therefore I will punish Him and release Him."

nasb@Luke:20:17 @[ Now he was obliged to release to them at the feast one prisoner.]

nasb@Luke:20:18 @But they cried out all together, saying, " Away with this man, and release for us Barabbas!"

nasb@Luke:20:19 @(He was one who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection made in the city, and for murder.)

nasb@Luke:20:21 @but they kept on calling out, saying, "Crucify, crucify Him!"

nasb@Luke:20:31" @For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?"

nasb@Luke:20:41" @And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."

nasb@Luke:20:51 @(he had not consented to their plan and action), a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God;

nasb@Luke:21:1 @But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.

nasb@Luke:21:2 @And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

nasb@Luke:21:3 @but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

nasb@Luke:21:4 @While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing;

nasb@Luke:21:5 @and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living One among the dead?

nasb@Luke:21:6" @He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee,

nasb@Luke:21:7 @saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."

nasb@Luke:21:8 @And they remembered His words,

nasb@Luke:21:9 @and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

nasb@Luke:21:10 @Now they were Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James; also the other women with them were telling these things to the apostles.

nasb@Luke:21:11 @But these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they would not believe them.

nasb@Luke:21:12 @But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen wrappings only; and he went away to his home, marveling at what had happened.

nasb@Luke:21:13 @And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

nasb@Luke:21:14 @And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place.

nasb@Luke:21:15 @While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them.

nasb@Luke:21:16 @But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him.

nasb@Luke:21:17 @And He said to them, "What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?" And they stood still, looking sad.

nasb@Luke:21:18 @One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, "Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?"

nasb@Luke:21:19 @And He said to them, "What things?" And they said to Him, "The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people,

nasb@Luke:21:20 @and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to the sentence of death, and crucified Him.

nasb@Luke:21:21" @But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened.

nasb@Luke:21:22" @But also some women among us amazed us. When they were at the tomb early in the morning,

nasb@Luke:21:23 @and did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive.

nasb@Luke:21:24" @Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just exactly as the women also had said; but Him they did not see."

nasb@Luke:21:25 @And He said to them, "O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

nasb@Luke:21:26" @ Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?"

nasb@Luke:21:27 @Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

nasb@Luke:21:28 @And they approached the village where they were going, and He acted as though He were going farther.

nasb@Luke:21:29 @But they urged Him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is getting toward evening, and the day is now nearly over." So He went in to stay with them.

nasb@Luke:21:30 @When He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them.

nasb@Luke:21:31 @Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight.

nasb@Luke:21:32 @They said to one another, "Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?"

nasb@Luke:21:33 @And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven and those who were with them,

nasb@Luke:21:34 @saying, " The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon."

nasb@Luke:21:35 @They began to relate their experiences on the road and how He was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

nasb@Luke:21:36 @While they were telling these things, He Himself stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be to you."

nasb@Luke:21:37 @But they were startled and frightened and thought that they were seeing a spirit.

nasb@Luke:21:38 @And He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

nasb@Luke:21:39" @ See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have."

nasb@Luke:21:40 @And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

nasb@Luke:21:41 @While they still could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He said to them, " Have you anything here to eat?"

nasb@Luke:21:42 @They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish;

nasb@Luke:21:43 @and He took it and ate it before them.

nasb@Luke:21:44 @Now He said to them, " These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled."

nasb@Luke:21:45 @Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,

nasb@Luke:21:46 @and He said to them, " Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day,

nasb@Luke:21:47 @and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

nasb@Luke:21:48" @You are witnesses of these things.

nasb@Luke:21:49" @And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

nasb@Luke:21:50 @And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

nasb@Luke:21:51 @While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven.

nasb@Luke:21:52 @And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

nasb@Luke:21:53 @and were continually in the temple praising God.

nasb@John:1:1 @In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

nasb@John:1:2 @He was in the beginning with God.

nasb@John:1:3 @All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.

nasb@John:1:4 @In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.

nasb@John:1:5 @The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

nasb@John:1:6 @There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.

nasb@John:1:7 @He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.

nasb@John:1:8 @He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

nasb@John:1:9 @There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.

nasb@John:1:10 @He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

nasb@John:1:11 @He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.

nasb@John:1:12 @But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,

nasb@John:1:13 @who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

nasb@John:1:14 @And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

nasb@John:1:15 @John testified about Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, ' He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'"

nasb@John:1:16 @For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace.

nasb@John:1:17 @For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

nasb@John:1:18 @No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.

nasb@John:1:19 @This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

nasb@John:1:20 @And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, " I am not the Christ."

nasb@John:1:21 @They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."

nasb@John:1:22 @Then they said to him, "Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?"

nasb@John:1:23 @He said, "I am A VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, 'MAKE STRAIGHT THE WAY OF THE LORD,' as Isaiah the prophet said."

nasb@John:1:24 @Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.

nasb@John:1:25 @They asked him, and said to him, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

nasb@John:1:26 @John answered them saying, " I baptize in water, but among you stands One whom you do not know.

nasb@John:1:27" @It is He who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."

nasb@John:1:28 @These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

nasb@John:1:29 @The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

nasb@John:1:30" @This is He on behalf of whom I said, ' After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'

nasb@John:1:31" @I did not recognize Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing in water."

nasb@John:1:32 @John testified saying, " I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him.

nasb@John:1:33" @I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'

nasb@John:1:34" @I myself have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God."

nasb@John:1:35 @Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,

nasb@John:1:36 @and he looked at Jesus as He walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

nasb@John:1:37 @The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

nasb@John:1:38 @And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What do you seek?" They said to Him, " Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?"

nasb@John:1:39 @He said to them, "Come, and you will see." So they came and saw where He was staying; and they stayed with Him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

nasb@John:1:40 @One of the two who heard John speak and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

nasb@John:1:41 @He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which translated means Christ).

nasb@John:1:42 @He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter).

nasb@John:1:43 @The next day He purposed to go into Galilee, and He found Philip. And Jesus said to him, " Follow Me."

nasb@John:1:44 @Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.

nasb@John:1:45 @Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

nasb@John:1:46 @Nathanael said to him, " Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

nasb@John:1:47 @Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!"

nasb@John:1:48 @Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

nasb@John:1:49 @Nathanael answered Him, " Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel."

nasb@John:1:50 @Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these."

nasb@John:1:51 @And He said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

nasb@John:2:1 @On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;

nasb@John:2:10 @and said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people have drunk freely, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."

nasb@John:2:11 @This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

nasb@John:2:12 @After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and His brothers and His disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

nasb@John:2:13 @The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

nasb@John:2:14 @And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables.

nasb@John:2:15 @And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables;

nasb@John:2:16 @and to those who were selling the doves He said, "Take these things away; stop making My Father's house a place of business."

nasb@John:2:17 @His disciples remembered that it was written, " ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME."

nasb@John:2:18 @The Jews then said to Him, " What sign do You show us as your authority for doing these things?"

nasb@John:2:19 @Jesus answered them, " Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

nasb@John:2:21 @But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

nasb@John:3:1 @Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;

nasb@John:3:10 @Jesus answered and said to him, "Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things?

nasb@John:3:11" @Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony.

nasb@John:3:12" @If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

nasb@John:3:13" @ No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven- the Son of Man.

nasb@John:3:14" @As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up;

nasb@John:3:15 @so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.

nasb@John:3:16" @For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

nasb@John:3:17" @For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

nasb@John:3:18" @ He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

nasb@John:3:19" @This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

nasb@John:3:21" @But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God."

nasb@John:3:31" @ He who comes from above is above all, he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

nasb@John:4:1 @Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

nasb@John:4:10 @Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

nasb@John:4:11 @She said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; where then do You get that living water?

nasb@John:4:12" @You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?"

nasb@John:4:13 @Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again;

nasb@John:4:14 @but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

nasb@John:4:15 @The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw."

nasb@John:4:16 @He said to her, "Go, call your husband and come here."

nasb@John:4:17 @The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You have correctly said, 'I have no husband';

nasb@John:4:18 @for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly."

nasb@John:4:19 @The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.

nasb@John:4:21 @Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

nasb@John:4:31 @Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, " Rabbi, eat."

nasb@John:4:41 @Many more believed because of His word;

nasb@John:4:51 @As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his son was living.

nasb@John:5:1 @After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

nasb@John:5:10 @So the Jews were saying to the man who was cured, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not permissible for you to carry your pallet."

nasb@John:5:11 @But he answered them, "He who made me well was the one who said to me, 'Pick up your pallet and walk.'"

nasb@John:5:12 @They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Pick up your pallet and walk'?"

nasb@John:5:13 @But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place.

nasb@John:5:14 @Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you."

nasb@John:5:15 @The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

nasb@John:5:16 @For this reason the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.

nasb@John:5:17 @But He answered them, "My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working."

nasb@John:5:18 @For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

nasb@John:5:19 @Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner.

nasb@John:5:21" @For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.

nasb@John:5:31" @ If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not true.

nasb@John:5:41" @ I do not receive glory from men;

nasb@John:6:1 @After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias).

nasb@John:6:10 @Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

nasb@John:6:11 @Jesus then took the loaves, and having given thanks, He distributed to those who were seated; likewise also of the fish as much as they wanted.

nasb@John:6:12 @When they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments so that nothing will be lost."

nasb@John:6:13 @So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

nasb@John:6:14 @Therefore when the people saw the sign which He had performed, they said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."

nasb@John:6:15 @So Jesus, perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone.

nasb@John:6:16 @Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

nasb@John:6:17 @and after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea to Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

nasb@John:6:18 @The sea began to be stirred up because a strong wind was blowing.

nasb@John:6:19 @Then, when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened.

nasb@John:6:21 @So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

nasb@John:6:31" @ Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ' HE GAVE THEM BREAD OUT OF HEAVEN TO EAT.'"

nasb@John:6:41 @Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, "I am the bread that came down out of heaven."

nasb@John:6:51" @ I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh."

nasb@John:6:61 @But Jesus, conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?

nasb@John:6:71 @Now He meant Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray Him.

nasb@John:7:1 @After these things Jesus was walking in Galilee, for He was unwilling to walk in Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.

nasb@John:7:10 @But when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as if, in secret.

nasb@John:7:11 @So the Jews were seeking Him at the feast and were saying, "Where is He?"

nasb@John:7:12 @There was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; some were saying, "He is a good man"; others were saying, "No, on the contrary, He leads the people astray."

nasb@John:7:13 @Yet no one was speaking openly of Him for fear of the Jews.

nasb@John:7:14 @But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to teach.

nasb@John:7:15 @The Jews then were astonished, saying, "How has this man become learned, having never been educated?"

nasb@John:7:16 @So Jesus answered them and said, " My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

nasb@John:7:17" @ If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.

nasb@John:7:18" @He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

nasb@John:7:19" @ Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you seek to kill Me?"

nasb@John:7:21 @Jesus answered them, "I did one deed, and you all marvel.

nasb@John:7:31 @But many of the crowd believed in Him; and they were saying, " When the Christ comes, He will not perform more signs than those which this man has, will He?"

nasb@John:7:41 @Others were saying, "This is the Christ." Still others were saying, " Surely the Christ is not going to come from Galilee, is He?

nasb@John:7:51" @ Our Law does not judge a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?"

nasb@John:8:1 @But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

nasb@John:8:10 @Straightening up, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"

nasb@John:8:11 @She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, " I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more."]

nasb@John:8:12 @Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, " I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."

nasb@John:8:13 @So the Pharisees said to Him, " You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not true."

nasb@John:8:14 @Jesus answered and said to them, " Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

nasb@John:8:15" @ You judge according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone.

nasb@John:8:16" @But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.

nasb@John:8:17" @Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true.

nasb@John:8:18" @I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me."

nasb@John:8:19 @So they were saying to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also."

nasb@John:8:21 @Then He said again to them, "I go away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come."

nasb@John:8:31 @So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, " If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;

nasb@John:8:41" @You are doing the deeds of your father." They said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father- God."

nasb@John:8:51" @Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death."

nasb@John:9:1 @As He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth.

nasb@John:9:10 @So they were saying to him, "How then were your eyes opened?"

nasb@John:9:11 @He answered, "The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash'; so I went away and washed, and I received sight."

nasb@John:9:12 @They said to him, "Where is He?" He said, "I do not know."

nasb@John:9:13 @They brought to the Pharisees the man who was formerly blind.

nasb@John:9:14 @Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

nasb@John:9:15 @Then the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, "He applied clay to my eyes, and I washed, and I see."

nasb@John:9:16 @Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, "This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath." But others were saying, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.

nasb@John:9:17 @So they said to the blind man again, "What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?" And he said, "He is a prophet."

nasb@John:9:18 @The Jews then did not believe it of him, that he had been blind and had received sight, until they called the parents of the very one who had received his sight,

nasb@John:9:19 @and questioned them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?"

nasb@John:9:21 @but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself."

nasb@John:9:31" @We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.

nasb@John:9:41 @Jesus said to them, " If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, ' We see,' your sin remains.

nasb@John:9:10" @Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.

nasb@John:9:10" @The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

nasb@John:9:11" @ I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

nasb@John:9:12" @He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.

nasb@John:9:13" @He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep.

nasb@John:9:14" @ I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me,

nasb@John:9:15 @even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

nasb@John:9:16" @I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.

nasb@John:9:17" @For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again.

nasb@John:9:18" @ No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father."

nasb@John:9:19 @A division occurred again among the Jews because of these words.

nasb@John:9:21 @Others were saying, "These are not the sayings of one demon-possessed. A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can he?"

nasb@John:9:31 @The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him.

nasb@John:9:41 @Many came to Him and were saying, "While John performed no sign, yet everything John said about this man was true."

nasb@John:10:1 @Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

nasb@John:10:2 @It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

nasb@John:10:3 @So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, " Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick."

nasb@John:10:4 @But when Jesus heard this, He said, "This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it."

nasb@John:10:5 @Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

nasb@John:10:6 @So when He heard that he was sick, He then stayed two days longer in the place where He was.

nasb@John:10:7 @Then after this He said to the disciples, " Let us go to Judea again."

nasb@John:10:8 @The disciples said to Him, " Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?"

nasb@John:10:9 @Jesus answered, " Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

nasb@John:10:10" @But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."

nasb@John:10:11 @This He said, and after that He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep."

nasb@John:10:12 @The disciples then said to Him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."

nasb@John:10:13 @Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was speaking of literal sleep.

nasb@John:10:14 @So Jesus then said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead,

nasb@John:10:15 @and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him."

nasb@John:10:16 @Therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, so that we may die with Him."

nasb@John:10:17 @So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.

nasb@John:10:18 @Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off;

nasb@John:10:19 @and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

nasb@John:10:20 @Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but Mary stayed at the house.

nasb@John:10:21 @Martha then said to Jesus, " Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

nasb@John:10:22" @Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You."

nasb@John:10:23 @Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

nasb@John:10:24 @Martha said to Him, " I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day."

nasb@John:10:25 @Jesus said to her, " I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,

nasb@John:10:26 @and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?"

nasb@John:10:27 @She said to Him, "Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world."

nasb@John:10:28 @When she had said this, she went away and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, " The Teacher is here and is calling for you."

nasb@John:10:29 @And when she heard it, she got up quickly and was coming to Him.

nasb@John:10:30 @Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met Him.

nasb@John:10:31 @Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and consoling her, when they saw that Mary got up quickly and went out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

nasb@John:10:32 @Therefore, when Mary came where Jesus was, she saw Him, and fell at His feet, saying to Him, " Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."

nasb@John:10:33 @When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,

nasb@John:10:34 @and said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to Him, "Lord, come and see."

nasb@John:10:35 @Jesus wept.

nasb@John:10:36 @So the Jews were saying, "See how He loved him!"

nasb@John:10:37 @But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind man, have kept this man also from dying?"

nasb@John:10:38 @So Jesus, again being deeply moved within, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.

nasb@John:10:39 @Jesus said, "Remove the stone." Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there will be a stench, for he has been dead four days."

nasb@John:10:40 @Jesus said to her, " Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?"

nasb@John:10:41 @So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, " Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

nasb@John:10:42" @I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me."

nasb@John:10:43 @When He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth."

nasb@John:10:44 @The man who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."

nasb@John:10:45 @Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what He had done, believed in Him.

nasb@John:10:46 @But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.

nasb@John:10:47 @Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and were saying, "What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs.

nasb@John:10:48" @If we let Him go on like this, all men will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."

nasb@John:10:49 @But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,

nasb@John:10:50 @nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."

nasb@John:10:51 @Now he did not say this on his own initiative, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

nasb@John:10:52 @and not for the nation only, but in order that He might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

nasb@John:10:53 @So from that day on they planned together to kill Him.

nasb@John:10:54 @Therefore Jesus no longer continued to walk publicly among the Jews, but went away from there to the country near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there He stayed with the disciples.

nasb@John:10:55 @Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the Passover to purify themselves.

nasb@John:10:56 @So they were seeking for Jesus, and were saying to one another as they stood in the temple, "What do you think; that He will not come to the feast at all?"

nasb@John:10:57 @Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where He was, he was to report it, so that they might seize Him.

nasb@John:11:1 @Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

nasb@John:11:2 @So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.

nasb@John:11:3 @Mary then took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

nasb@John:11:4 @But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was intending to betray Him, said,

nasb@John:11:5" @Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to poor people?"

nasb@John:11:6 @Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it.

nasb@John:11:7 @Therefore Jesus said, "Let her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of My burial.

nasb@John:11:8" @ For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me."

nasb@John:11:9 @The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.

nasb@John:11:10 @But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also;

nasb@John:11:11 @because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus.

nasb@John:11:12 @On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

nasb@John:11:13 @took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, " Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, even the King of Israel."

nasb@John:11:14 @Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,

nasb@John:11:15" @ FEAR NOT, DAUGHTER OF ZION; BEHOLD, YOUR KING IS COMING, SEATED ON A DONKEY'S COLT."

nasb@John:11:16 @These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things to Him.

nasb@John:11:17 @So the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him.

nasb@John:11:18 @For this reason also the people went and met Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.

nasb@John:11:19 @So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are not doing any good; look, the world has gone after Him."

nasb@John:11:20 @Now there were some Greeks among those who were going up to worship at the feast;

nasb@John:11:21 @these then came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and began to ask him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

nasb@John:11:22 @Philip came and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip came and told Jesus.

nasb@John:11:23 @And Jesus answered them, saying, " The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

nasb@John:11:24" @Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

nasb@John:11:25" @ He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.

nasb@John:11:26" @If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

nasb@John:11:27" @ Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ' Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this purpose I came to this hour.

nasb@John:11:28" @ Father, glorify Your name." Then a voice came out of heaven- "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."

nasb@John:11:29 @So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, " An angel has spoken to Him."

nasb@John:11:30 @Jesus answered and said, " This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes.

nasb@John:11:31" @ Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

nasb@John:11:32" @And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself."

nasb@John:11:33 @But He was saying this to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die.

nasb@John:11:34 @The crowd then answered Him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; and how can You say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"

nasb@John:11:35 @So Jesus said to them, " For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

nasb@John:11:36" @While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light." These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid Himself from them.

nasb@John:11:37 @But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him.

nasb@John:11:38 @This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke- " LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?"

nasb@John:11:39 @For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,

nasb@John:11:40" @ HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HE HARDENED THEIR HEART, SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND PERCEIVE WITH THEIR HEART, AND BE CONVERTED AND I HEAL THEM."

nasb@John:11:41 @These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke of Him.

nasb@John:11:42 @Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue;

nasb@John:11:43 @for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.

nasb@John:11:44 @And Jesus cried out and said, " He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me.

nasb@John:11:45" @ He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me.

nasb@John:11:46" @ I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

nasb@John:11:47" @If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

nasb@John:11:48" @ He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.

nasb@John:11:49" @ For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.

nasb@John:11:50" @I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me."

nasb@John:12:1 @Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

nasb@John:12:2 @During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him,

nasb@John:12:3 @Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God,

nasb@John:12:4 @got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself.

nasb@John:12:5 @Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

nasb@John:12:6 @So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, "Lord, do You wash my feet?"

nasb@John:12:7 @Jesus answered and said to him, "What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter."

nasb@John:12:8 @Peter said to Him, "Never shall You wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, " If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."

nasb@John:12:9 @Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head."

nasb@John:12:10 @Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."

nasb@John:12:11 @For He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, "Not all of you are clean."

nasb@John:12:12 @So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

nasb@John:12:13" @You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.

nasb@John:12:14" @If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

nasb@John:12:15" @For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you.

nasb@John:12:16" @Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.

nasb@John:12:17" @If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.

nasb@John:12:18" @ I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ' HE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.'

nasb@John:12:19" @From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He.

nasb@John:12:20" @Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."

nasb@John:12:21 @When Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me."

nasb@John:12:22 @The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know of which one He was speaking.

nasb@John:12:23 @There was reclining on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.

nasb@John:12:24 @So Simon Peter gestured to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking."

nasb@John:12:25 @He, leaning back thus on Jesus' bosom, said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"

nasb@John:12:26 @Jesus then answered, "That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him." So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

nasb@John:12:27 @After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."

nasb@John:12:28 @Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him.

nasb@John:12:29 @For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, "Buy the things we have need of for the feast"; or else, that he should give something to the poor.

nasb@John:12:30 @So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and it was night.

nasb@John:12:31 @Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him;

nasb@John:12:32 @if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.

nasb@John:12:33" @ Little children, I am with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.'

nasb@John:12:34" @A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

nasb@John:12:35" @ By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

nasb@John:12:36 @Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?" Jesus answered, " Where I go, you cannot follow Me now; but you will follow later."

nasb@John:12:37 @Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You right now? I will lay down my life for You."

nasb@John:12:38 @Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for MeNULL Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.

nasb@John:12:14" @ Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.

nasb@John:12:2" @In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.

nasb@John:12:3" @If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.

nasb@John:12:4" @And you know the way where I am going."

nasb@John:12:5 @Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?"

nasb@John:12:6 @Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

nasb@John:12:7" @ If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him."

nasb@John:12:8 @Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."

nasb@John:12:9 @Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

nasb@John:12:10" @Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.

nasb@John:12:11" @Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves.

nasb@John:12:12" @Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.

nasb@John:12:13" @ Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

nasb@John:12:14" @If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

nasb@John:12:15" @ If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

nasb@John:12:16" @I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;

nasb@John:12:17 @that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

nasb@John:12:18" @I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

nasb@John:12:19" @ After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also.

nasb@John:12:20" @ In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

nasb@John:12:21" @ He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him."

nasb@John:12:22 @Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?"

nasb@John:12:23 @Jesus answered and said to him, " If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.

nasb@John:12:24" @He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.

nasb@John:12:25" @These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you.

nasb@John:12:26" @But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

nasb@John:12:27" @ Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.

nasb@John:12:28" @ You heard that I said to you, 'I go away, and I will come to you.' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because I go to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

nasb@John:12:29" @Now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.

nasb@John:12:30" @I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;

nasb@John:12:31 @but so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do exactly as the Father commanded Me. Get up, let us go from here.

nasb@John:12:15" @ I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

nasb@John:12:2" @Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.

nasb@John:12:3" @ You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

nasb@John:12:4" @ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.

nasb@John:12:5" @I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

nasb@John:12:6" @If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.

nasb@John:12:7" @If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

nasb@John:12:8" @My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.

nasb@John:12:9" @Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.

nasb@John:12:10" @ If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.

nasb@John:12:11" @ These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.

nasb@John:12:12" @This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.

nasb@John:12:13" @ Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.

nasb@John:12:14" @You are My friends if you do what I command you.

nasb@John:12:15" @No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.

nasb@John:12:16" @ You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.

nasb@John:12:17" @This I command you, that you love one another.

nasb@John:12:18" @ If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.

nasb@John:12:19" @If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.

nasb@John:12:20" @Remember the word that I said to you, ' A slave is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

nasb@John:12:21" @But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me.

nasb@John:12:22" @ If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

nasb@John:12:23" @He who hates Me hates My Father also.

nasb@John:12:24" @ If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well.

nasb@John:12:25" @But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, ' THEY HATED ME WITHOUT A CAUSE.'

nasb@John:12:26" @When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me,

nasb@John:12:27 @and you will testify also, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

nasb@John:12:16" @ These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.

nasb@John:12:2" @They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.

nasb@John:12:3" @These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me.

nasb@John:12:4" @But these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.

nasb@John:12:5" @But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ' Where are You going?'

nasb@John:12:6" @But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

nasb@John:12:7" @But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

nasb@John:12:8" @And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;

nasb@John:12:9 @concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;

nasb@John:12:10 @and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;

nasb@John:12:11 @and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

nasb@John:12:12" @I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

nasb@John:12:13" @But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

nasb@John:12:14" @He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.

nasb@John:12:15" @ All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.

nasb@John:12:16" @ A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me."

nasb@John:12:17 @Some of His disciples then said to one another, "What is this thing He is telling us, ' A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'; and, 'because I go to the Father'?"

nasb@John:12:18 @So they were saying, "What is this that He says, 'A little while'? We do not know what He is talking about."

nasb@John:12:19 @Jesus knew that they wished to question Him, and He said to them, "Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, 'A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me'?

nasb@John:12:20" @Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy.

nasb@John:12:21" @ Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.

nasb@John:12:22" @Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

nasb@John:12:23" @ In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.

nasb@John:12:24" @ Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

nasb@John:12:25" @These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father.

nasb@John:12:26" @ In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf;

nasb@John:12:27 @for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

nasb@John:12:28" @ I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father."

nasb@John:12:29 @His disciples said, "Lo, now You are speaking plainly and are not using a figure of speech.

nasb@John:12:30" @Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You; by this we believe that You came from God."

nasb@John:12:31 @Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?

nasb@John:12:32" @Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

nasb@John:12:33" @These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."

nasb@John:13:1 @Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,

nasb@John:13:2 @even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.

nasb@John:13:3" @This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

nasb@John:13:4" @ I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.

nasb@John:13:5" @Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

nasb@John:13:6" @ I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

nasb@John:13:7" @Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;

nasb@John:13:8 @for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

nasb@John:13:9" @ I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours;

nasb@John:13:10 @and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.

nasb@John:13:11" @I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are.

nasb@John:13:12" @While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

nasb@John:13:13" @But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.

nasb@John:13:14" @I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

nasb@John:13:15" @I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.

nasb@John:13:16" @ They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

nasb@John:13:17" @ Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.

nasb@John:13:18" @As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

nasb@John:13:19" @For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

nasb@John:13:20" @I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word;

nasb@John:13:21 @that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

nasb@John:13:22" @The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one;

nasb@John:13:23 @I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.

nasb@John:13:24" @Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

nasb@John:13:25" @O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me;

nasb@John:13:26 @and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."

nasb@John:14:1 @When Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth with His disciples over the ravine of the Kidron, where there was a garden, in which He entered with His disciples.

nasb@John:14:2 @Now Judas also, who was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often met there with His disciples.

nasb@John:14:3 @Judas then, having received the Roman cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

nasb@John:14:4 @So Jesus, knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and said to them, " Whom do you seek?"

nasb@John:14:5 @They answered Him, "Jesus the Nazarene." He said to them, "I am He." And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them.

nasb@John:14:6 @So when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground.

nasb@John:14:7 @Therefore He again asked them, " Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus the Nazarene."

nasb@John:14:8 @Jesus answered, "I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,"

nasb@John:14:9 @to fulfill the word which He spoke, " Of those whom You have given Me I lost not one."

nasb@John:14:10 @Simon Peter then, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave's name was Malchus.

nasb@John:14:11 @So Jesus said to Peter, "Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?"

nasb@John:14:12 @So the Roman cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him,

nasb@John:14:13 @and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

nasb@John:14:14 @Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.

nasb@John:14:15 @Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest,

nasb@John:14:16 @but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.

nasb@John:14:17 @Then the slave-girl who kept the door said to Peter, " You are not also one of this man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not."

nasb@John:14:18 @Now the slaves and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.

nasb@John:14:19 @The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching.

nasb@John:14:20 @Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.

nasb@John:14:21" @Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said."

nasb@John:14:22 @When He had said this, one of the officers standing nearby struck Jesus, saying, "Is that the way You answer the high priest?"

nasb@John:14:23 @Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?"

nasb@John:14:24 @So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

nasb@John:14:25 @Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, " You are not also one of His disciples, are you?" He denied it, and said, "I am not."

nasb@John:14:26 @One of the slaves of the high priest, being a relative of the one whose ear Peter cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with Him?"

nasb@John:14:27 @Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.

nasb@John:14:28 @Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

nasb@John:14:29 @Therefore Pilate went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this Man?"

nasb@John:14:30 @They answered and said to him, "If this Man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him to you."

nasb@John:14:31 @So Pilate said to them, "Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law." The Jews said to him, "We are not permitted to put anyone to death,"

nasb@John:14:32 @to fulfill the word of Jesus which He spoke, signifying by what kind of death He was about to die.

nasb@John:14:33 @Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, " Are You the King of the Jews?"

nasb@John:14:34 @Jesus answered, "Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?"

nasb@John:14:35 @Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?"

nasb@John:14:36 @Jesus answered, " My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm."

nasb@John:14:37 @Therefore Pilate said to Him, "So You are a king?" Jesus answered, " You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."

nasb@John:14:38 @Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, " I find no guilt in Him.

nasb@John:14:39" @ But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release for you the King of the Jews?"

nasb@John:14:40 @So they cried out again, saying, " Not this Man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.

nasb@John:15:1 @Pilate then took Jesus and scourged Him.

nasb@John:15:2 @And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him;

nasb@John:15:3 @and they began to come up to Him and say, " Hail, King of the Jews!" and to give Him slaps in the face.

nasb@John:15:4 @Pilate came out again and said to them, "Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that I find no guilt in Him."

nasb@John:15:5 @Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold, the Man!"

nasb@John:15:6 @So when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out saying, "Crucify, crucify!" Pilate said to them, "Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him."

nasb@John:15:7 @The Jews answered him, " We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He made Himself out to be the Son of God."

nasb@John:15:8 @Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid;

nasb@John:15:9 @and he entered into the Praetorium again and said to Jesus, "Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.

nasb@John:15:10 @So Pilate said to Him, "You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?"

nasb@John:15:11 @Jesus answered, " You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin."

nasb@John:15:12 @As a result of this Pilate made efforts to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, " If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar."

nasb@John:15:13 @Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

nasb@John:15:14 @Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!"

nasb@John:15:15 @So they cried out, " Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."

nasb@John:15:16 @So he then handed Him over to them to be crucified.

nasb@John:15:17 @They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.

nasb@John:15:18 @There they crucified Him, and with Him two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between.

nasb@John:15:19 @Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, " JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

nasb@John:15:20 @Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin and in Greek.

nasb@John:15:21 @So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, "Do not write, ' The King of the Jews'; but that He said, 'I am King of the Jews.'"

nasb@John:15:22 @Pilate answered, " What I have written I have written."

nasb@John:15:23 @Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece.

nasb@John:15:24 @So they said to one another, " Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be"; this was to fulfill the Scripture- "THEY DIVIDED MY OUTER GARMENTS AMONG THEM, AND FOR MY CLOTHING THEY CAST LOTS."

nasb@John:15:25 @Therefore the soldiers did these things. But standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

nasb@John:15:26 @When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, " Woman, behold, your son!"

nasb@John:15:27 @Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" From that hour the disciple took her into his own household.

nasb@John:15:28 @After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, to fulfill the Scripture, said, " I am thirsty."

nasb@John:15:29 @A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth.

nasb@John:15:30 @Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, " It is finished!" And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.

nasb@John:15:31 @Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

nasb@John:15:32 @So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was crucified with Him;

nasb@John:15:33 @but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

nasb@John:15:34 @But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

nasb@John:15:35 @And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.

nasb@John:15:36 @For these things came to pass to fulfill the Scripture, " NOT A BONE OF HIM SHALL BE BROKEN."

nasb@John:15:37 @And again another Scripture says, " THEY SHALL LOOK ON HIM WHOM THEY PIERCED."

nasb@John:15:38 @After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body.

nasb@John:15:39 @Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.

nasb@John:15:40 @So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

nasb@John:15:41 @Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

nasb@John:15:42 @Therefore because of the Jewish day of preparation, since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

nasb@John:16:1 @Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw the stone already taken away from the tomb.

nasb@John:16:2 @So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, " They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."

nasb@John:16:3 @So Peter and the other disciple went forth, and they were going to the tomb.

nasb@John:16:4 @The two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first;

nasb@John:16:5 @and stooping and looking in, he saw the linen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in.

nasb@John:16:6 @And so Simon Peter also came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there,

nasb@John:16:7 @and the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself.

nasb@John:16:8 @So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed.

nasb@John:16:9 @For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.

nasb@John:16:10 @So the disciples went away again to their own homes.

nasb@John:16:11 @But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;

nasb@John:16:12 @and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying.

nasb@John:16:13 @And they said to her, " Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him."

nasb@John:16:14 @When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.

nasb@John:16:15 @Jesus said to her, " Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, "Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away."

nasb@John:16:16 @Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, " Rabboni!" (which means, Teacher).

nasb@John:16:17 @Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'"

nasb@John:16:18 @Mary Magdalene came, announcing to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that He had said these things to her.

nasb@John:16:19 @So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, " Peace be with you."

nasb@John:16:20 @And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

nasb@John:16:21 @So Jesus said to them again, " Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you."

nasb@John:16:22 @And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

nasb@John:16:23" @ If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained."

nasb@John:16:24 @But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

nasb@John:16:25 @So the other disciples were saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe."

nasb@John:16:26 @After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, " Peace be with you."

nasb@John:16:27 @Then He said to Thomas, " Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing."

nasb@John:16:28 @Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"

nasb@John:16:29 @Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."

nasb@John:16:30 @Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;

nasb@John:16:31 @but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.

nasb@John:17:1 @After these things Jesus manifested Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and He manifested Himself in this way.

nasb@John:17:2 @Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.

nasb@John:17:3 @Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will also come with you." They went out and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing.

nasb@John:17:4 @But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

nasb@John:17:5 @So Jesus said to them, "Children, you do not have any fish, do you?" They answered Him, "No."

nasb@John:17:6 @And He said to them, " Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find a catch." So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish.

nasb@John:17:7 @Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord." So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea.

nasb@John:17:8 @But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about one hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish.

nasb@John:17:9 @So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire already laid and fish placed on it, and bread.

nasb@John:17:10 @Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have now caught."

nasb@John:17:11 @Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

nasb@John:17:12 @Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples ventured to question Him, "Who are You?" knowing that it was the Lord.

nasb@John:17:13 @Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

nasb@John:17:14 @This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.

nasb@John:17:15 @So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Tend My lambs."

nasb@John:17:16 @He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, " Shepherd My sheep."

nasb@John:17:17 @He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, " Tend My sheep.

nasb@John:17:18" @Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go."

nasb@John:17:19 @Now this He said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, " Follow Me!"

nasb@John:17:20 @Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had leaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?"

nasb@John:17:21 @So Peter seeing him said to Jesus, "Lord, and what about this man?"

nasb@John:17:22 @Jesus said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!"

nasb@John:17:23 @Therefore this saying went out among the brethren that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?"

nasb@John:17:24 @This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

nasb@John:17:25 @And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.
