riversident@Matthew:1:3 @ Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah (note:)Tamar was their mother(:note); Perez was the father of Hezron; Hezron was the father of Ram;

riversident@Matthew:1:4 @ Ram was the father of Amminadab; Amminadab was the father of Nahshon; Nahshon was the father of Salmon;

riversident@Matthew:1:5 @ Salmon was the father of Boaz (note:)Rahab was his mother(:note); Boaz was the father of Obed Ruth was his mother;

riversident@Matthew:1:6 @ Jesse was the father of David the King. David was the father of Solomon (note:)his mother had been Uriah's wife(:note);

riversident@Matthew:1:7 @ Solomon was the father of Rehoboam; Rehoboam was the father of Abijah; Abijah was the father of Asa;

riversident@Matthew:1:8 @ Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat; Jehoshaphat was the father of Joram; Joram was the father of Uzziah;

riversident@Matthew:1:9 @ Uzziah was the father of Jotham; Jotham was the father of Ahaz; Ahaz was the father of Hezekiah;

riversident@Matthew:1:10 @ Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh; Manasseh was the father of Amon; Amon was the father of Josiah;

riversident@Matthew:1:11 @ Josiah was the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the Babylonian exile.

riversident@Matthew:1:12 @ After the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel; Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel;

riversident@Matthew:1:13 @ Zerubbabel was the father of Abiud; Abiud was the father of Eliakim; Eliakim was the father of Azor;

riversident@Matthew:1:14 @ Azor was the father of Sadoc; Sadoc was the father of Achim; Achim was the father of Eliud;

riversident@Matthew:1:15 @ Eliud was the father of Eleazar; Eleazar was the father of Matthan; Matthan was the father of Jacob;

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

riversident@Matthew:1:17 @ So there were in all fourteen generations from Abraham to David, and fourteen generations from David to the Babylonian exile, and fourteen generations from the Babylonian exile to the Christ.

riversident@Matthew:1:18 @ The birth of Jesus was in this way: His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, but before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Matthew:1:19 @ Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and yet not willing to make her a public example, resolved to dismiss her privately.

riversident@Matthew:1:20 @ But while he was thinking this over, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Matthew:1:21 @ She will bear a son and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

riversident@Matthew:1:22 @ All this happened in fulfillment of what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:

riversident@Matthew:1:23 @ "Behold the virgin will conceive and will bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel" (note:)which means, God is with us(:note).

riversident@Matthew:1:24 @ When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took his wife to his home.

riversident@Matthew:1:25 @ But he did not live with her as a husband until she had borne a son. He called his name Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:2:1 @ AFTER Jesus had been born in Bethlehem, in Judaea, in the days of Herod the King, wise men from the East arrived at Jerusalem,

riversident@Matthew:2:2 @ saying, "Where is he who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the East and have come to do homage to him."

riversident@Matthew:2:3 @ When King Herod heard it, he was disturbed, and so was all Jerusalem.

riversident@Matthew:2:4 @ Then he called together all the high priests and scribes of the people and inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

riversident@Matthew:2:5 @ They said to him, "In Bethlehem, in Juda. For so it was written by the prophet,

riversident@Matthew:2:6 @ 'And thou, Bethlehem, land of Judah, art by no means least among the leaders of Judah; for from thee will come a leader who will shepherd my people Israel.' "

riversident@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men and learned from them exactly the time of the star's appearance,

riversident@Matthew:2:8 @ and as he sent them to Bethlehem he said, "Go and make careful inquiries about the child, and when you have found him bring me word, so that I too may come and do homage to him."

riversident@Matthew:2:9 @ After hearing the king, they journeyed on, and the star which they had seen in the East went before them until it came and stood over where the child was.

riversident@Matthew:2:10 @ When they saw the star, they were very joyful.

riversident@Matthew:2:11 @ They entered the house and saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and presented to him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

riversident@Matthew:2:12 @ After this they were warned in a dream not to return to Herod, and so went by another mad back to their own country.

riversident@Matthew:2:13 @ After they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph and said, "Rise up, and take the child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and be there until I tell you, for Herod will search for the child in order to kill him."

riversident@Matthew:2:14 @ So Joseph rose up, and took the child and his mother in the night and went away to Egypt,

riversident@Matthew:2:15 @ and was there until the death of Herod, in order that the word of the Lord spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, "Out of Egypt I called my Son."

riversident@Matthew:2:16 @ Then Herod, seeing that he had been outwitted by the wise men, became furious, and sent out and killed all the boy babies two years old and under in Bethlehem and all its neighborhood, guided by the date which he had carefully learned from the wise men.

riversident@Matthew:2:17 @ Then was fulfilled what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet when he said,

riversident@Matthew:2:18 @ "A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and bitter lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be comforted because they are not."

riversident@Matthew:2:19 @ But after Herod had died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt

riversident@Matthew:2:20 @ and said, "Arise, and take the child and his mother and go into the land of Israel, for they are dead who sought the child's life."

riversident@Matthew:2:21 @ So he arose, and took the child and his mother and came into the land of Israel.

riversident@Matthew:2:22 @ But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being directed in a dream he went away to the region of Galilee

riversident@Matthew:2:23 @ and settled in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, "He will be called a Nazarene."

riversident@Matthew:3:1 @ IN those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wild part of Judaea

riversident@Matthew:3:2 @ and saying, "Repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

riversident@Matthew:3:3 @ For this is he who was foretold through Isaiah the prophet when he said: 'The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Make ready the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.' "

riversident@Matthew:3:4 @ This John had his clothing of camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

riversident@Matthew:3:5 @ Then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judaea and all the neighborhood of the Jordan

riversident@Matthew:3:6 @ and were baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

riversident@Matthew:3:7 @ When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said, "Brood of vipers, who directed you to flee from the coming wrath?

riversident@Matthew:3:8 @ Produce fruit fitting for a change of heart,

riversident@Matthew:3:9 @ and do not think of saying to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you God is able out of these stones to raise up children for Abraham.

riversident@Matthew:3:10 @ Now the axe is lying at the root of the trees. Every tree that does not yield good fruit will be cut down and cast into the fire.

riversident@Matthew:3:11 @ I baptize you with water for a change of heart, but he who is coming after me is more powerful than I; I am not worthy to carry his shoes; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

riversident@Matthew:3:12 @ He has his fan in his hand and will thoroughly clean his threshing-floor. He will gather his grain into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable."

riversident@Matthew:3:13 @ Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized by him.

riversident@Matthew:3:14 @ But John opposed him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"

riversident@Matthew:3:15 @ Jesus replied, Then he permitted him.

riversident@Matthew:3:16 @ Jesus, as soon as he was baptized, went up from the water, and the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and coming upon him.

riversident@Matthew:3:17 @ A voice from the heavens said, "This is my Son, the beloved in whom I delight."

riversident@Matthew:4:1 @ THEN Jesus was led by the Spirit up into the wild country to be tempted by the Devil.

riversident@Matthew:4:2 @ After he had fasted forty days and forty nights he was hungry.

riversident@Matthew:4:3 @ Then the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to turn into loaves of bread."

riversident@Matthew:4:4 @ But he answered,

riversident@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the Devil took him with him to the holy city and placed him on the top of the temple

riversident@Matthew:4:6 @ and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, 'To his angels he will give charge of you, and on their hands they will bear you lest you strike your foot against a stone.' "

riversident@Matthew:4:7 @ Jesus said to him,

riversident@Matthew:4:8 @ Again the Devil took him with him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,

riversident@Matthew:4:9 @ and said to him, "All these things I will give you if you will fall down and do homage to me."

riversident@Matthew:4:10 @ Jesus said to him,

riversident@Matthew:4:11 @ Then the Devil left him, and angels came and waited upon him.

riversident@Matthew:4:12 @ When Jesus heard that John had been betrayed, he went away into Galilee.

riversident@Matthew:4:13 @ Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum on the lake shore on the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,

riversident@Matthew:4:14 @ so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

riversident@Matthew:4:15 @ "Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, road to the sea, country beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,

riversident@Matthew:4:16 @ the people that sat in darkness saw a great light and upon those sitting in the land and shadow of death light dawned."

riversident@Matthew:4:17 @ From that time Jesus began to proclaim and say,

riversident@Matthew:4:18 @ As he was walking along the shore of the lake of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen;

riversident@Matthew:4:19 @ and he said to them,

riversident@Matthew:4:20 @ They at once left the nets and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:4:21 @ Going on from there, he saw two other brothers \'97 James the son of Zebedee and John his brother \'97 in their boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

riversident@Matthew:4:22 @ They at once left the boat and their father and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:4:23 @ Jesus went around through the whole of Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people.

riversident@Matthew:4:24 @ His fame spread out into all Syria, and they brought to him all who were sick with various diseases and those suffering from acute pain, demoniacs, lunatics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

riversident@Matthew:4:25 @ Great crowds followed him from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from beyond the Jordan.

riversident@Matthew:5:1 @ SEEING the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he had seated himself his disciples came to him.

riversident@Matthew:5:2 @ He opened his mouth and taught them, saying:

riversident@Matthew:7:28 @ When Jesus ended these words, the crowds were astonished at his teaching.

riversident@Matthew:7:29 @ For he taught them like one who had authority, and not as their scribes taught.

riversident@Matthew:8:1 @ WHEN Jesus had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.

riversident@Matthew:8:2 @ And a leper came up and bowed before him, and said, "Sir, if you have the will, you have power to make me clean."

riversident@Matthew:8:3 @ Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him and said, Instantly his leprosy was cleansed away.

riversident@Matthew:8:4 @ Jesus said to him,

riversident@Matthew:8:5 @ When Jesus had entered Capernaum there came to him a Centurion who implored his help.

riversident@Matthew:8:6 @ "Sir," he said, "my servant lies in my house a paralytic, in great distress."

riversident@Matthew:8:7 @ Jesus said to him,

riversident@Matthew:8:8 @ The Centurion answered, "Sir, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but just speak the word and my servant will be cured.

riversident@Matthew:8:9 @ For I am a man, \'97 under authority, \'97 with soldiers under me, and I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."

riversident@Matthew:8:10 @ When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said,

riversident@Matthew:8:11" />

riversident@Matthew:8:12" />

riversident@Matthew:8:13 @ Then Jesus said to the Centurion, His servant was healed that very hour.

riversident@Matthew:8:14 @ When Jesus entered the house of Peter, he saw his wife's mother lying sick with fever.

riversident@Matthew:8:15 @ He touched her hand and the fever left her. Then she arose and waited upon him.

riversident@Matthew:8:16 @ When evening came, they brought to him many demoniacs and he cast out the spirits by a word, and all their sick he healed.

riversident@Matthew:8:17 @ This was in order to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, "He took our weaknesses and bore away our diseases."

riversident@Matthew:8:18 @ When Jesus saw a crowd around him, he gave directions to go over to the other side of the lake.

riversident@Matthew:8:19 @ Then a certain scribe came to him and said, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

riversident@Matthew:8:20 @ Jesus said to him,

riversident@Matthew:8:21 @ Another of his disciples said to him, "Sir, let me first go and bury my father."

riversident@Matthew:8:22 @ But Jesus said to him,

riversident@Matthew:8:23 @ Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him.

riversident@Matthew:8:24 @ Soon a great storm broke on the lake so that the boat was hidden under the waves; but he was sleeping.

riversident@Matthew:8:25 @ His disciples came to him and woke him and said, "Master, save us. We are going down."

riversident@Matthew:8:26 @ But he said, Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the lake, and there was a great calm.

riversident@Matthew:8:27 @ The men were astonished and said, "What sort of a person is this, whom even the winds and the lake obey?"

riversident@Matthew:8:28 @ When he arrived at the other side, the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two demoniacs coming out of the tombs. They were very fierce, so that no one was able to pass along that road.

riversident@Matthew:8:29 @ Suddenly they shouted, "Son of God, what have you to do with us? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"

riversident@Matthew:8:30 @ There was far off from them a herd of many swine feeding.

riversident@Matthew:8:31 @ The demons begged him, "If you cast us out, send us into the herd of swine."

riversident@Matthew:8:32 @ He said to them, So they went out and entered into the swine. Then suddenly the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the waves.

riversident@Matthew:8:33 @ The herdsmen fled and went away to the town and told everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs.

riversident@Matthew:8:34 @ Then at once all the town came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him they begged him to depart from their neighborhood.

riversident@Matthew:9:1 @ SO Jesus got into the boat and crossed over and came to his own city.

riversident@Matthew:9:2 @ They brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic,

riversident@Matthew:9:3 @ At once some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is speaking profane words."

riversident@Matthew:9:4 @ Jesus knew their thoughts and said,

riversident@Matthew:9:5" />

riversident@Matthew:9:6 @ \'97 then he said to the paralytic,

riversident@Matthew:9:7 @ Thereupon he rose and went away to his house.

riversident@Matthew:9:8 @ The crowds that saw it were astonished and gave glory to God, who had given such power to men.

riversident@Matthew:9:9 @ As Jesus was passing along from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. Jesus said to him, and he arose and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:9:10 @ It happened that, while he was reclining at table in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came in and reclined at the table with Jesus and his disciples.

riversident@Matthew:9:11 @ When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

riversident@Matthew:9:12 @ Jesus heard it and said,

riversident@Matthew:9:13" />

riversident@Matthew:9:14 @ Then the disciples of John came to Jesus and said, "Why are we and the Pharisees fasting while your disciples are not fasting?"

riversident@Matthew:9:15 @ He said,

riversident@Matthew:9:16" />

riversident@Matthew:9:17" />

riversident@Matthew:9:18 @ While Jesus was talking to them, a synagogue Director came and bowed down before him and said, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand upon her and she will live."

riversident@Matthew:9:19 @ Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples.

riversident@Matthew:9:20 @ Suddenly a woman who had been suffering for twelve years from hemorrhage came up behind him and touched the tassel of his cloak.

riversident@Matthew:9:21 @ For she said to herself, "If I touch only his cloak, I shall be healed."

riversident@Matthew:9:22 @ But Jesus turned and, seeing her, said, The woman was cured from that hour.

riversident@Matthew:9:23 @ Jesus entered the house of the Director and saw the flute-players and the crowd that was noisily lamenting, and he said,

riversident@Matthew:9:24 @ They laughed at him.

riversident@Matthew:9:25 @ But after the crowd had been turned out, he went in and took hold of her hand and the girl rose up.

riversident@Matthew:9:26 @ The report of this spread through all that country.

riversident@Matthew:9:27 @ As Jesus was going along from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, "Have pity on us, Son of David."

riversident@Matthew:9:28 @ After he had entered the house, these blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, They said, "Yes, Sir."

riversident@Matthew:9:29 @ Then he touched their eyes and said,

riversident@Matthew:9:30 @ And their eyes were opened. Jesus sternly commanded them,

riversident@Matthew:9:31 @ But they went out and spread his fame through all that country.

riversident@Matthew:9:32 @ As they were going out, a dumb man who was also a demoniac was brought to him.

riversident@Matthew:9:33 @ After the demon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke. The crowd wondered and said, "Never was anything like this seen in Israel."

riversident@Matthew:9:34 @ But the Pharisees said, "Through the Chief of the demons he casts out the demons."

riversident@Matthew:9:35 @ Jesus made a circuit through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity.

riversident@Matthew:9:36 @ Seeing the crowds, he was touched with compassion for them, for they were torn and flung down like sheep that have no shepherd.

riversident@Matthew:9:37 @ Then he said to his disciples,

riversident@Matthew:9:38" />

riversident@Matthew:10:1 @ THEN, calling to him his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over impure spirits to cast them out, and power to cure every disease and every infirmity.

riversident@Matthew:10:2 @ The names of the twelve apostles are these: Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother,

riversident@Matthew:10:3 @ Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus,

riversident@Matthew:10:4 @ Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.

riversident@Matthew:10:5 @ These twelve Jesus sent out and directed them:

riversident@Matthew:12:15 @ But Jesus was aware of it and went away from that place. Many followed him and he healed them all;

riversident@Matthew:12:16 @ but he gave strict orders to them not to make him known.

riversident@Matthew:12:17 @ It was in fulfillment of these words of Isaiah the prophet,

riversident@Matthew:21:10 @ When he entered Jerusalem all the city was shaken, and people said, "Who is this?"

riversident@Matthew:21:11 @ The crowds said, "This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee."

riversident@Matthew:21:16 @ and said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" Jesus said,

riversident@Matthew:21:18 @ Early in the morning as he was returning to the city, he was hungry,

riversident@Matthew:26:4 @ and they plotted to seize Jesus by some trick and kill him.

riversident@Matthew:26:5 @ But they said, "Not on the feast day, so that there may not be a riot among the people."

riversident@Matthew:26:6 @ When Jesus had come to Bethany and was in the house of Simon the leper,

riversident@Matthew:26:7 @ a woman came up to him, bringing an alabaster jar of costly ointment, and poured it on his head while he was reclining at table.

riversident@Matthew:26:8 @ On seeing this, the disciples were indignant and said, "Why this waste?

riversident@Matthew:26:16 @ And from that moment he kept seeking a favorable time to betray him.

riversident@Matthew:26:17 @ On the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Where do you wish us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

riversident@Matthew:26:18 @ He answered,

riversident@Matthew:26:19 @ The disciples did as Jesus had instructed them and prepared the Passover.

riversident@Matthew:26:20 @ When evening had come, he was reclining at table with the twelve disciples.

riversident@Matthew:26:59 @ The high priests and the whole council sought for false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death.

riversident@Matthew:26:60 @ But they did not find any, although many false witnesses came. Finally, two came forward

riversident@Matthew:26:61 @ and said, "This man said, 'I can pull down the Temple of God and in three days build it up again.' "

riversident@Matthew:26:62 @ The High Priest rose and said to him, "Have you no answer? What is it that these are testifying to against you?"

riversident@Matthew:26:64 @ Jesus said to him,

riversident@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the High Priest rent his garments, saying, "Impious words! Why do we any longer need witnesses? See, you have now heard his impious words.

riversident@Matthew:26:66 @ What do you think?" They answered, "He deserves death."

riversident@Matthew:26:67 @ Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Some slapped him,

riversident@Matthew:26:68 @ saying, "Act the prophet for us, you Christ! Who was it that struck you? "

riversident@Matthew:26:69 @ Peter was sitting outside in the court. A maid came up to him and said, "You too were with Jesus the Galilaean."

riversident@Matthew:26:71 @ When he had gone out into the gateway, another maid saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene."

riversident@Matthew:26:73 @ After a little those who were standing there came up and said to Peter, "Truly you are one of them, for your accent proves it."

riversident@Matthew:26:74 @ Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know the man." Immediately the cock crew, and

riversident@Matthew:26:75 @ Peter remembered what Jesus had said, and he went out and wept bitterly.

riversident@Matthew:27:1 @ WHEN morning came all the high priests and the elders of the people consulted together against Jesus to put him to death.

riversident@Matthew:27:2 @ After binding him, they led him away and handed him over to Pilate the Governor.

riversident@Matthew:27:3 @ Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus had been condemned, was sorry and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the high priests and elders,

riversident@Matthew:27:4 @ saying, "I sinned in betraying innocent blood!" But they said, "What is that to us? You must see to that."

riversident@Matthew:27:5 @ Then throwing the silver into the Temple he left and went and hung himself.

riversident@Matthew:27:6 @ The high priests took the money and said, "It is not proper to put it in with the consecrated gifts, since it is the price of blood."

riversident@Matthew:27:7 @ So after consultation they bought with it the potter's field for the burial of strangers.

riversident@Matthew:27:8 @ For this reason that field is called the "Field of Blood" to this day.

riversident@Matthew:27:9 @ Then was fulfilled what was said through Jeremiah the prophet, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who was priced, whom they priced from the sons of Israel,

riversident@Matthew:27:10 @ and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."

riversident@Matthew:27:11 @ Jesus stood before the Governor. The Governor asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said,

riversident@Matthew:27:12 @ While he was being accused by the high priests and elders, he answered nothing.

riversident@Matthew:27:13 @ Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they are testifying against you?"

riversident@Matthew:27:14 @ But Jesus did not answer even one word, so that the Governor was much astonished.

riversident@Matthew:27:15 @ At every feast the Governor was accustomed to release for the people one prisoner, whomever they chose.

riversident@Matthew:27:16 @ There was at that time a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

riversident@Matthew:27:17 @ So, when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you, Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?"

riversident@Matthew:27:18 @ For he knew that out of jealousy they had handed him over.

riversident@Matthew:27:19 @ While he was sitting on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him a message, "Do not have anything to do with that righteous man. For I have suffered much to-day in a dream because of him."

riversident@Matthew:27:20 @ The high priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:27:21 @ The Governor said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" They said, "Barabbas."

riversident@Matthew:27:22 @ Pilate said to them, "What, then, shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Have him crucified."

riversident@Matthew:27:23 @ He said, "Why, what wrong has he done?" But they kept shouting furiously, "Have him crucified!"

riversident@Matthew:27:24 @ When Pilate saw that he was doing no good, but rather that an uproar was arising, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd and said, "I am innocent of this blood. You will have to see to it."

riversident@Matthew:27:25 @ All the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!"

riversident@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released Barabbas for them, but scourged Jesus and handed him over to be crucified.

riversident@Matthew:27:27 @ Then the soldiers of the Governor took Jesus with them into the castle and gathered about him all the battalion.

riversident@Matthew:27:28 @ They stripped him and put on him a crimson cloak,

riversident@Matthew:27:29 @ twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head, put a reed into his right hand, and, going down on their knees before him, made sport of him, shouting, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

riversident@Matthew:27:30 @ They spit on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

riversident@Matthew:27:31 @ After they had finished making sport of him, they took off from him the crimson cloak and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucifixion.

riversident@Matthew:27:32 @ As they were going out, they chanced upon a man from Cyrene by the name of Simon. This man they impressed to carry the cross of Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:27:33 @ On coming to a place called Golgotha (note:)that is, Skull Place(:note),

riversident@Matthew:27:34 @ they gave him wine mixed with gall to drink. He tasted it and would not drink it.

riversident@Matthew:27:35 @ When they had crucified him, they divided his clothes by casting lots.

riversident@Matthew:27:36 @ Then they sat and kept watch over him there.

riversident@Matthew:27:37 @ Above his head they put up the charge against him in writing:

riversident@Matthew:27:38 @ At the same time there were crucified along with him two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.

riversident@Matthew:27:39 @ The people who went by insulted him, shaking their heads

riversident@Matthew:27:40 @ and saying, "You who can pull down the Temple and in three days build it up, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

riversident@Matthew:27:41 @ In the same way the high priests, making sport of him, along with the scribes and elders, kept saying,

riversident@Matthew:27:42 @ "He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross and we will believe in him.

riversident@Matthew:27:43 @ He trusted in God, let him deliver him now if he wants him, for he said, 'I am the Son of God.' "

riversident@Matthew:27:44 @ In the same way even the robbers who were crucified with him insulted him.

riversident@Matthew:27:45 @ From noon darkness came over all the land until three o'clock.

riversident@Matthew:27:46 @ About three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, that is,

riversident@Matthew:27:47 @ Some of those who were standing there said, when they heard it, "This man is calling for Elijah."

riversident@Matthew:27:48 @ Immediately one of them took a sponge and filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed and gave him a drink.

riversident@Matthew:27:49 @ The rest said, "Let him alone, let us see whether Elijah comes to save him."

riversident@Matthew:27:50 @ But Jesus, after calling out again with a loud voice, gave up his spirit.

riversident@Matthew:27:51 @ Suddenly the curtain of the Temple was rent in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked. The rocks were split,

riversident@Matthew:27:52 @ and the tombs were opened and many bodies of the sleeping saints arose,

riversident@Matthew:27:53 @ and, coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

riversident@Matthew:27:54 @ The Centurion and his men who were guarding Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that happened, were greatly terrified and said, "Truly this man was a son of God!"

riversident@Matthew:27:55 @ Looking on from a distance, were many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee, waiting upon him.

riversident@Matthew:27:56 @ Among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

riversident@Matthew:27:57 @ In the late afternoon there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:27:58 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

riversident@Matthew:27:59 @ Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen sheet

riversident@Matthew:27:60 @ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. Then he rolled a great stone up to the door of the tomb and went away.

riversident@Matthew:27:61 @ Mary Magdalene remained there and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

riversident@Matthew:27:62 @ On the next day, that is, the day after the Preparation, the high priests and the Pharisees gathered about Pilate

riversident@Matthew:27:63 @ and said, "Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was alive,

riversident@Matthew:27:64 @ So give orders to have the tomb guarded until the third day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal him away and tell the people, 'He has been raised from the dead,' and the last error will be worse than the first."

riversident@Matthew:27:65 @ Pilate said to them, "You may have a guard. Go make it as secure as you know how."

riversident@Matthew:27:66 @ They went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone as well as setting a watch.

riversident@Matthew:28:1 @ LATE on the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was drawing near, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the tomb.

riversident@Matthew:28:2 @ And suddenly there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came to the stone and rolled it away and sat upon it.

riversident@Matthew:28:3 @ His appearance was like lightning and his raiment white as snow.

riversident@Matthew:28:4 @ For fear of him the guards trembled violently and became like dead men.

riversident@Matthew:28:5 @ The angel said to the women, "Do not you be afraid. For I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.

riversident@Matthew:28:6 @ He is not here. He has been raised, as he told you. Come see the place where he lay.

riversident@Matthew:28:7 @ Go quickly and tell his disciples that he has been raised from the dead. He will precede you to Galilee. There you will see him. See, I have told you."

riversident@Matthew:28:8 @ They left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to tell his disciples.

riversident@Matthew:28:9 @ Suddenly Jesus met them and said, They came up and clasped his feet and bowed down before him.

riversident@Matthew:28:10 @ Then Jesus said to them,

riversident@Matthew:28:11 @ While they were going, some of the guard came into the city and brought word to the high priests of all that had happened.

riversident@Matthew:28:12 @ After assembling with the elders and holding a consultation, they gave a good deal of money to the soldiers

riversident@Matthew:28:13 @ and said, "Say, 'His disciples came in the night and stole him away while we were asleep,'

riversident@Matthew:28:14 @ and if this comes to the ears of the Governor we will persuade him and free you from trouble."

riversident@Matthew:28:15 @ The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this report has been spread among the Jews to this day.

riversident@Matthew:28:16 @ The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed to meet them,

riversident@Matthew:28:17 @ and they saw him and bowed down before him; but some doubted.

riversident@Matthew:28:18 @ Jesus came to them and talked with them. He said,

riversident@Matthew:28:19" />

riversident@Matthew:28:20" />

riversident@Mark:1:1 @ THE Beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ.

riversident@Mark:1:2 @ It is written in Isaiah the prophet, "Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way.

riversident@Mark:1:3 @ The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way of the Lord; make his paths straight' ";

riversident@Mark:1:4 @ just so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching the baptism of a change of heart for forgiveness of sins.

riversident@Mark:1:5 @ All the land of Judaea and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him and were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.

riversident@Mark:1:6 @ John's clothes were of camel's hair and he had a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.

riversident@Mark:1:7 @ He proclaimed, "One is coming after me who is more powerful than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop and loose.

riversident@Mark:1:8 @ I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."

riversident@Mark:1:9 @ In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

riversident@Mark:1:10 @ Immediately as he was coming up from the water he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him.

riversident@Mark:1:11 @ And there was a voice from the heavens, "Thou art my Son, my Beloved; in thee I am well pleased."

riversident@Mark:1:12 @ Immediately the spirit impelled him to go out into the wild lands.

riversident@Mark:1:13 @ And he was in the wild lands forty days, tempted by Satan. There he was among the wild beasts, but angels waited upon him.

riversident@Mark:1:14 @ After John had been betrayed, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God

riversident@Mark:1:16 @ As he passed along by the lake of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.

riversident@Mark:1:17 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@Mark:1:18 @ They immediately left their nets and followed him.

riversident@Mark:1:19 @ Going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and his brother John in their boat, mending their net.

riversident@Mark:1:20 @ Immediately he called them. They left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him away.

riversident@Mark:1:21 @ They came into Capernaum. Immediately on the Sabbath he went into the synagogue and taught.

riversident@Mark:1:22 @ The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as if he had authority, and not as the scribes.

riversident@Mark:1:23 @ There was in their synagogue a man wider the power of an impure spirit, and he immediately cried out,

riversident@Mark:1:24 @ "What have you to do with us, Nazarene Jesus? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are \'97 the Holy one of God."

riversident@Mark:1:26 @ Then the impure spirit convulsed him, and screamed loudly and came out.

riversident@Mark:1:27 @ They were all amazed so that they discussed together, "What is this? A new powerful teaching! He commands even the impure spirits and they obey him!"

riversident@Mark:1:28 @ So reports about him immediately spread everywhere through the whole region of Galilee.

riversident@Mark:1:29 @ As soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

riversident@Mark:1:30 @ The mother-in-law of Simon was lying sick with fever. Immediately they told him about her.

riversident@Mark:1:31 @ He came to her, and took her by the hand and lifted her up. The fever left her and she waited on them.

riversident@Mark:1:32 @ When evening came and the sun had set, they brought to him all the sick and those who were afflicted with demons;

riversident@Mark:1:33 @ and the whole city was gathered before the door.

riversident@Mark:1:34 @ He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons, not allowing the demons to talk, because they knew him.

riversident@Mark:1:35 @ Early in the morning, while it was still night, he rose and went out, and went away into a solitary place and there prayed.

riversident@Mark:1:37 @ and when they found him they said to him, "All are looking for you?

riversident@Mark:1:38 @ But he said to them,

riversident@Mark:1:39 @ And he went through all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.

riversident@Mark:1:40 @ There came to him a leper, begging him and kneeling to him and saying, "If you will, you can cleanse me."

riversident@Mark:1:42 @ Immediately the leprosy left him and he became clean.

riversident@Mark:1:43 @ Then Jesus sent him away after strictly charging him,

riversident@Mark:1:45 @ But the man went away and began to proclaim freely and to spread the report, so that Jesus was no longer able to enter openly into any city, but stayed out in the wild country, and people came to him from every direction.

riversident@Mark:2:1 @ HE came again into Capernaum, and after some days it was heard that he was in the house.

riversident@Mark:2:2 @ Many came together, so that there was no longer room even near the door, and he preached to them.

riversident@Mark:2:3 @ Then some people came bringing to him a paralytic, borne by four.

riversident@Mark:2:4 @ Not being able to bring him near, owing to the crowd, they opened the roof where he was, and when they had broken through it, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying.

riversident@Mark:2:5 @ When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic,

riversident@Mark:2:6 @ There were some of the scribes sitting there and debating in their minds,

riversident@Mark:2:8 @ Immediately Jesus, perceiving that they were inwardly reasoning in this way, said to them,

riversident@Mark:2:10 @ turning to the paralytic he said,

riversident@Mark:2:12 @ Immediately the man rose and took up his pallet and went out before all, so that they were astounded and gave praise to God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

riversident@Mark:2:13 @ Jesus went out again beside the lake, and all the crowd came to him and he taught them.

riversident@Mark:2:14 @ As he was passing along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office and said to him, He arose and followed.

riversident@Mark:2:15 @ Jesus was reclining at table in Levi's house, and many tax collectors and sinners also reclined at table along with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.

riversident@Mark:2:16 @ When the scribes and the Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they said to his disciples, "Can it be that he eats with tax collectors and sinners?"

riversident@Mark:2:17 @ When Jesus heard it, he said to them,

riversident@Mark:2:18 @ The disciples of John as well as the Pharisees were fasting. They came and said to Jesus, "Why is it that the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but your disciples are not fasting?"

riversident@Mark:2:23 @ It happened on a Sabbath day that he was passing through the grainfields, and his disciples began, as they walked, to pluck the heads of grain.

riversident@Mark:2:24 @ The Pharisees said to him, "See what they are doing on the Sabbath \'97 something that is not allowable."

riversident@Mark:2:25 @ He said to them,

riversident@Mark:2:27 @ He said to them,

riversident@Mark:3:1 @ HE went another time into the synagogue and there was present a man with a withered hand.

riversident@Mark:3:2 @ They watched him to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might have something to say against him.

riversident@Mark:3:3 @ He said to the man with the withered hand,

riversident@Mark:3:4 @ Then he said to them, But they kept silent.

riversident@Mark:3:5 @ He looked round on them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their hearts, and said to the man, He stretched the hand out and it was completely restored.

riversident@Mark:3:6 @ The Pharisees went out immediately and joined with the Herodians in a plot to put him out of the way.

riversident@Mark:3:7 @ Then Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake and a great number from Galilee followed him. Also from Judaea

riversident@Mark:3:8 @ and from Jerusalem and from Idumaea and from beyond the Jordan and from the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon, a great number, hearing of all that he was doing, came to him.

riversident@Mark:3:9 @ Jesus spoke to his disciples to have a little boat ready for his use on account of the throng, to prevent them from pressing upon him.

riversident@Mark:3:11 @ The impure spirits, also, when they saw him, fell down before him and shouted, "You are the Son of God."

riversident@Mark:3:12 @ But he ordered them repeatedly and sternly not to make him known.

riversident@Mark:3:13 @ Jesus went up on the mountain and invited whom he chose, and they came to him.

riversident@Mark:3:16 @ He appointed these twelve: Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter (note:)Rock(:note),

riversident@Mark:3:17 @ James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, to whom he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder,

riversident@Mark:3:18 @ Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus, Simon the Zealot,

riversident@Mark:3:20 @ and the crowd gathered again so that they were not able even to eat bread.

riversident@Mark:3:21 @ When his family heard of it, they went out to take him by force, for they said, "He is out of his mind."

riversident@Mark:3:22 @ The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, "He has Beelzebul in him, and by the Chief of the demons he casts out demons."

riversident@Mark:3:23 @ Jesus called them to him and said to them in figures:

riversident@Mark:3:30 @ This he said because they said, "He has an impure spirit."

riversident@Mark:3:31 @ Then came his mother and his brothers, and standing outside sent and called him out.

riversident@Mark:3:32 @ A crowd was sitting around him when some one said to him, "Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside and want you."

riversident@Mark:3:34 @ Looking round at those sitting in the circle about him he said,

riversident@Mark:4:1 @ AGAIN Jesus began to teach beside the lake, and a very great crowd gathered around him, so that he got into a boat on the lake and sat down, and all the crowd was on the shore near the lake.

riversident@Mark:4:2 @ He taught them many things by figures of speech. He said to them in his teaching,

riversident@Mark:4:9 @ He said to them,

riversident@Mark:4:10 @ When he was alone, his close friends and the twelve asked him about the illustrations.

riversident@Mark:4:13 @ He said to them,

riversident@Mark:4:21 @ He said to them,

riversident@Mark:4:24 @ He said again to them,

riversident@Mark:4:33 @ With many such illustrations he went on talking to them as they were able to listen;

riversident@Mark:4:34 @ but except in figures of speech he did not talk to them. Privately to his own disciples he explained all things.

riversident@Mark:4:35 @ On that day when evening came he said to them,

riversident@Mark:4:36 @ So they left the crowd and took him along just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with them.

riversident@Mark:4:37 @ Then a heavy squall of wind came up and the waves beat into the boat so that it was filling.

riversident@Mark:4:38 @ But he was in the stern asleep on the cushion. They aroused him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are sinking?"

riversident@Mark:4:39 @ When he awoke, he rebuked the wind and said to the sea, The wind ceased and there was a great calm.

riversident@Mark:4:40 @ Then he asked them,

riversident@Mark:4:41 @ But they were intensely awestruck and said to one another, "Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the lake obey him?"

riversident@Mark:5:1 @ THEY came to the other side of the lake, to the land of the Gerasenes.

riversident@Mark:5:2 @ When he got out of the boat, immediately there came out of the tombs to meet him a man under the power of an impure spirit.

riversident@Mark:5:3 @ This man made his dwelling in the tombs, and nobody could bind him even with a chain,

riversident@Mark:5:4 @ because he had often been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart and the fetters broken in pieces by him, and no one was strong enough to tame him.

riversident@Mark:5:5 @ All night and all day long he was in the tombs and in the mountains, shrieking and cutting himself with stones.

riversident@Mark:5:7 @ and shouted with a loud voice, "What have I and you to do with each other, Jesus, Son of God most high? I adjure you by God, not to torment me."

riversident@Mark:5:10 @ Then he begged Jesus earnestly not to send them out of the country.

riversident@Mark:5:11 @ There was on the mountain-side a great herd of swine feeding,

riversident@Mark:5:12 @ and the demons begged him, "Send us to the swine and let us go into them."

riversident@Mark:5:13 @ He consented. The impure spirits came out of the man and entered into the swine. Then the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned in the lake.

riversident@Mark:5:14 @ At this, those who were feeding them fled and told it in the city and in the fields, and people came to see what had happened.

riversident@Mark:5:15 @ When they came to Jesus, they saw the demoniac, the man who had had the legion, sitting there clothed and in his right mind. They were struck with awe.

riversident@Mark:5:16 @ Those who had seen it told them about what had happened to the demoniac and about the swine.

riversident@Mark:5:17 @ Then they began to beg him to go away from their neighborhood.

riversident@Mark:5:18 @ As Jesus was entering the boat, the man who had been demoniac begged him to let him stay with him.

riversident@Mark:5:21 @ When Jesus had recrossed in the boat to the other side of the lake, a great crowd gathered around him as he stood on the shore.

riversident@Mark:5:22 @ Then came one of the directors of the synagogue, by the name of Jairus, and as soon as he saw Jesus he fell at his feet

riversident@Mark:5:25 @ There was a woman who had for twelve years had a hemorrhage

riversident@Mark:5:26 @ and had suffered much under the treatment of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, though without becoming better, but rather worse;

riversident@Mark:5:27 @ this woman had heard about Jesus, and she came in the crowd behind him and touched his cloak,

riversident@Mark:5:28 @ for she said, "If I can touch even his clothes, I shall be healed."

riversident@Mark:5:29 @ Immediately the hemorrhage ceased and she knew in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

riversident@Mark:5:30 @ Jesus was at once conscious that power had gone from him, and turned in the crowd and said,

riversident@Mark:5:31 @ His disciples replied, "You see the people crowding you, and do you ask,

riversident@Mark:5:33 @ Then the woman, afraid and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell before him and told him all the truth.

riversident@Mark:5:35 @ While he was still speaking, people came from the house of the synagogue Director and told him, "Your daughter is dead; why annoy the teacher any longer?"

riversident@Mark:5:36 @ But Jesus, overhearing what they were saying, said to the Director,

riversident@Mark:5:37 @ He did not permit any one to accompany him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

riversident@Mark:5:38 @ When they approached the Director's house, they saw a noisy crowd weeping loudly and wailing.

riversident@Mark:5:40 @ But they laughed at him. Then he put them all out and took the child's father and mother and his own companions and went in where the child was.

riversident@Mark:5:41 @ Taking hold of the child's hand he said to her, which means,

riversident@Mark:5:42 @ Immediately the little girl rose up and walked around. She was twelve years old. They were utterly amazed.

riversident@Mark:5:43 @ But he strictly ordered that no one should know it, and told them to give her something to eat.

riversident@Mark:6:1 @ LEAVING there, he came to his own native place accompanied by his disciples.

riversident@Mark:6:2 @ When the Sabbath came, he began teaching in the synagogue. Many who heard were astonished and said, "Where did he get this, and what is this wisdom with which he is gifted? How are such deeds of power done by his hands?

riversident@Mark:6:3 @ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joseph and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" So they fell into mistake regarding him.

riversident@Mark:6:4 @ But Jesus said to them,

riversident@Mark:6:5 @ There he was unable to do any work of power, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.

riversident@Mark:6:6 @ Their lack of faith astonished him. He made a circuit through the villages, teaching.

riversident@Mark:6:7 @ Then he called together the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over impure spirits,

riversident@Mark:6:8 @ and instructed them not to take anything for their journey but just a stick; no bread, no bag, no coppers in their belts,

riversident@Mark:6:10 @ He said to them,

riversident@Mark:6:12 @ They went out and proclaimed that men should repent,

riversident@Mark:6:13 @ and they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many sick people and healed them.

riversident@Mark:6:14 @ The name of Jesus was so much talked about that King Herod heard of it. Some were saying, "John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these mighty works are done by him."

riversident@Mark:6:15 @ Others said, "It is Elijah," and others said, "It is a prophet like one of the old prophets."

riversident@Mark:6:16 @ But Herod, when he heard about him, said, "John, the man whom I beheaded, has risen again."

riversident@Mark:6:17 @ Herod himself had sent and arrested John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married.

riversident@Mark:6:18 @ For John had said to Herod, "It is not right for you to have your brother's wife."

riversident@Mark:6:21 @ But an opportunity came for Herodias when Herod, on his birthday, gave a feast to his high officials and military officers and the leading men of Galilee.

riversident@Mark:6:22 @ Then the daughter of Herodias came in and danced and pleased Herod and his guests. The King said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you will and I will give it to you."

riversident@Mark:6:23 @ He swore, "Whatever you ask I will give you, up to the half of my kingdom."

riversident@Mark:6:24 @ The girl went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" She replied, "The head of John the Baptizer."

riversident@Mark:6:25 @ The girl immediately hurried in and said to the King, "I choose to have you give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter."

riversident@Mark:6:26 @ This made the King very sorry, but on account of his oaths and his guests he was unwilling to refuse her.

riversident@Mark:6:27 @ So he immediately sent one of the guardsmen with orders to bring John's head. The soldier went and beheaded him in the prison

riversident@Mark:6:28 @ and brought the head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother.

riversident@Mark:6:29 @ When John's disciples heard about it, they came and took the body and laid it in a tomb.

riversident@Mark:6:30 @ The apostles gathered back to Jesus and reported to him all that they had done and all that they had taught.

riversident@Mark:6:31 @ He said to them, For there were many people coming and going, and they had no time even to eat.

riversident@Mark:6:32 @ So they put off in a boat for an uninhabited, solitary place.

riversident@Mark:6:33 @ But many saw them going and recognized them, and ran together by land from all the towns and got there before them.

riversident@Mark:6:34 @ When Jesus landed, he saw a great crowd, and he was filled with compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began and taught them many things.

riversident@Mark:6:35 @ By this time it was late in the day, and his disciples came to him and said, "This is an uninhabited place and the hour is already late.

riversident@Mark:6:36 @ Send them away so that they can go to the farms and villages around and buy themselves something to eat."

riversident@Mark:6:37 @ But Jesus answered, They said, "Shall we go and buy two hundred shillings worth of bread and feed them?"

riversident@Mark:6:38 @ He asked, When they had ascertained they said, "Five, and there are two fishes."

riversident@Mark:6:39 @ Then he told them to have all the people recline in groups on the green grass.

riversident@Mark:6:40 @ They lay down in rows by hundreds and by fifties.

riversident@Mark:6:41 @ Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven and blessed them, and broke them and gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. The two fishes he also divided among all.

riversident@Mark:6:43 @ and they picked up twelve basketfuls of the broken pieces of the bread, besides portions of the fishes.

riversident@Mark:6:44 @ There were five thousand men who ate of the loaves.

riversident@Mark:6:45 @ Jesus immediately had his disciples get into the boat and cross before him to Bethsaida while he was dismissing the crowd.

riversident@Mark:6:46 @ After taking leave of them, he went away up the mountain to pray.

riversident@Mark:6:47 @ When evening had fallen, the boat was half across the lake and he was alone on the land.

riversident@Mark:6:48 @ He saw them distressed in rowing, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking on the lake and he seemed to be going past them.

riversident@Mark:6:49 @ But when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought that it was a ghost and cried out.

riversident@Mark:6:50 @ For they all saw him and were frightened. But he immediately spoke to them and said,

riversident@Mark:6:51 @ Then he got into the boat with them and the wind dropped. They were in boundless amazement;

riversident@Mark:6:52 @ for they had not grasped the miracle of the loaves because their minds were dull.

riversident@Mark:6:53 @ When they had crossed to the land they came to Gennesaret and dropped anchor.

riversident@Mark:6:54 @ As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

riversident@Mark:6:55 @ and hurried over all that region and brought in the sick on pallets wherever they heard that he was.

riversident@Mark:6:56 @ Whenever he went into villages or towns or among the farms they would lay the sick in the streets and beg him to let them touch at least the tassel of his cloak. And all who touched were healed.

riversident@Mark:7:1 @ ONCE the Pharisees gathered about him with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,

riversident@Mark:7:2 @ and they saw that some of his disciples were eating bread with "common," that is, unwashed, hands.

riversident@Mark:7:3 @ For the Pharisees and all the Jews never eat without first washing their hands up to the wrist, holding faithfully to the tradition of their forefathers,

riversident@Mark:7:4 @ and when they return from market they do not eat until they have washed. There are also many other traditions which they have been taught to hold tenaciously, such as washing cups and pitchers and copper vessels.

riversident@Mark:7:5 @ The Pharisees and scribes asked him, "Why do not your disciples live according to the tradition of our fore-fathers? Why do they eat their bread with common hands?"

riversident@Mark:7:9 @ He said further to them,

riversident@Mark:7:14 @ Then, calling the crowd to him again, he said to them,

riversident@Mark:7:17 @ After he had gone into the house, his disciples asked about his figurative language.

riversident@Mark:7:24 @ Leaving that place, Jesus went into the borders of Tyre. He entered a house and did not wish any one to know it, but he could not escape notice.

riversident@Mark:7:26 @ The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

riversident@Mark:7:28 @ She answered, "Yes, Sir, even the dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs."

riversident@Mark:7:29 @ Then he said to her,

riversident@Mark:7:30 @ She returned to her house and found the child lying on the bed and the demon gone.

riversident@Mark:7:31 @ Again leaving the region of Tyre, he came through Sidon to the lake of Galilee into the midst of the region of Decapolis.

riversident@Mark:7:32 @ They brought to him a deaf man who stammered, and begged him to lay his hand on him.

riversident@Mark:7:33 @ He took him aside from the crowd, put his fingers into his ears, and touched his tongue with spit.

riversident@Mark:7:34 @ Then looking up to heaven, he sighed and said, that is,,

riversident@Mark:7:36 @ Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell any one. But the more he forbade them the more widely they spread it,

riversident@Mark:7:37 @ for they were astonished beyond all bounds and said, "He has done everything well. He makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak."

riversident@Mark:8:1 @ IN those days, when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called together his disciples and said to them,

riversident@Mark:8:4 @ His disciples answered, "Where will any one be able to get bread to supply these people here in the uninhabited country?"

riversident@Mark:8:5 @ He asked them, They said, "Seven."

riversident@Mark:8:6 @ He told the people to recline on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and, after giving thanks, broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute, and they distributed to the people.

riversident@Mark:8:7 @ They had also a few small fishes. These he blessed and told the disciples to distribute them.

riversident@Mark:8:8 @ All ate and were satisfied, and they picked up of the fragments that were left over seven basketfuls.

riversident@Mark:8:9 @ There were about four thousand men. Then he dismissed them.

riversident@Mark:8:10 @ At once he got into a boat with the disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.

riversident@Mark:8:11 @ The Pharisees came out and began to argue with him, asking him for a sign from heaven, in order to test him.

riversident@Mark:8:13 @ Then he left them and got into the boat again and went away across the lake.

riversident@Mark:8:14 @ They had forgotten to take bread, and except one loaf they had none with them in the boat.

riversident@Mark:8:15 @ Jesus warned them,

riversident@Mark:8:16 @ They began to talk among themselves about their lack of bread.

riversident@Mark:8:17 @ He perceived it, and said to them,

riversident@Mark:8:19 @ They said, "Twelve."

riversident@Mark:8:20 @ They said, "Seven."

riversident@Mark:8:22 @ They came to Bethsaida. There some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him.

riversident@Mark:8:23 @ Taking hold of the blind man's hand, he led him out of the village. Then, after spitting in his eyes and laying his hands on him, he asked him,

riversident@Mark:8:24 @ He looked up and said, "I see the people; I see them like trees, walking around."

riversident@Mark:8:26 @ Then Jesus sent him away home, saying,

riversident@Mark:8:27 @ Jesus went away with his disciples to the villages round Caesarea Philippi. On the road he asked them,

riversident@Mark:8:28 @ They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; others say one of the prophets."

riversident@Mark:8:29 @ He asked them, Peter answered, "You are the Christ."

riversident@Mark:8:30 @ He gave them strict orders not to tell any one about him.

riversident@Mark:8:31 @ Then he began and taught them that it was necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders and the high priests and the scribes, and to be put to death, and after three days to rise again.

riversident@Mark:8:33 @ He turned and looked at his disciples and reproved Peter with the words,

riversident@Mark:8:34 @ Then he called the crowd along with his disciples and said to them,

riversident@Mark:9:1 @ HE said further to them,

riversident@Mark:9:2 @ Six days later, Jesus took Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain. They were all alone. There in their presence he became transfigured.

riversident@Mark:9:3 @ His clothes became dazzlingly white, with a whiteness that no bleacher on earth can impart.

riversident@Mark:9:4 @ Then Moses and Elijah appeared to them and conversed with Jesus.

riversident@Mark:9:6 @ For he did not know what to say, they were so frightened.

riversident@Mark:9:7 @ Then a cloud overshadowed them and there came a voice out of the cloud, "This is my beloved son, hear him."

riversident@Mark:9:8 @ Then suddenly as they looked around they no longer saw any one, but Jesus only, with themselves.

riversident@Mark:9:9 @ When they were descending the mountain, he told them not to tell any one what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

riversident@Mark:9:10 @ This command they kept, but debated among themselves what the rising from the dead was.

riversident@Mark:9:11 @ They asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

riversident@Mark:9:14 @ When they came to his disciples, they saw a great crowd around them and scribes debating with them.

riversident@Mark:9:15 @ At once the whole crowd saw him and were amazed, and they ran to him and welcomed him.

riversident@Mark:9:16 @ He asked them,

riversident@Mark:9:17 @ One of the crowd answered, "Teacher, I have brought my son to you. He has a dumb spirit,

riversident@Mark:9:18 @ and whenever it attacks him it convulses him and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth. He is wasting away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, but they had not the power."

riversident@Mark:9:20 @ They brought him to him. As soon as the spirit saw Jesus, he convulsed the boy so that he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

riversident@Mark:9:21 @ Jesus asked the father, He said, "From early childhood.

riversident@Mark:9:22 @ Often it has thrown him into the fire or into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us."

riversident@Mark:9:24 @ At once the father of the child cried out, "I believe; help my unbelief."

riversident@Mark:9:25 @ Jesus saw that the crowd was rapidly increasing, so he rebuked the impure spirit with the words,

riversident@Mark:9:26 @ He screamed and convulsed the boy and came out. The boy looked like a corpse, so that most of them said, "He is dead."

riversident@Mark:9:27 @ But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him and he stood up.

riversident@Mark:9:28 @ After he had gone into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why were we not able to cast it out?"

riversident@Mark:9:30 @ After leaving there, they were passing through Galilee, and he did not wish any one to know it.

riversident@Mark:9:31 @ For he was teaching his disciples and telling them that the Son of Man would be betrayed into the hands of men and that they would kill him, and that three days after being killed he would rise.

riversident@Mark:9:32 @ But they did not understand what he said and were afraid to question him.

riversident@Mark:9:33 @ They came to Capernaum. After entering the house, Jesus asked them,

riversident@Mark:9:34 @ They were silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves which was the greatest.

riversident@Mark:9:35 @ Taking a seat he called the twelve, and said,

riversident@Mark:9:36 @ Then he took a little child and placed him in the midst of them, and, putting his arms around him, said,

riversident@Mark:10:1 @ STARTING from there, he came into the land of Judaea and beyond the Jordan. Again the people crowded to him, and again as usual he was teaching them.

riversident@Mark:10:2 @ Some Pharisees came up and asked him, "Is it right for a man to divorce his wife?" They meant to catch him.

riversident@Mark:10:4 @ They said, "Moses permitted a husband to give a certificate of divorce and send his wife away."

riversident@Mark:10:5 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@Mark:10:10 @ When they were in the house, his disciples asked him again about this.

riversident@Mark:10:11 @ He said to them,

riversident@Mark:10:13 @ They were bringing little children to him to have him touch them, but his disciples rebuked them.

riversident@Mark:10:16 @ Then he took them into his arms and blessed them, putting his hands on them.

riversident@Mark:10:17 @ While he was going out into the road, a man came running and knelt before him and asked, "Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit life eternal?"

riversident@Mark:10:20 @ He answered, "Teacher, all these I have kept from my boyhood."

riversident@Mark:10:23 @ Then Jesus, looking around on his disciples, said,

riversident@Mark:10:24 @ The disciples were astonished at his words. Jesus spoke again and said,

riversident@Mark:10:26 @ They were amazed beyond measure and said to one another, "Then who can be saved?"

riversident@Mark:10:27 @ Jesus looked at them and said,

riversident@Mark:10:32 @ They were on the road going up to Jerusalem and Jesus was walking in advance. Astonishment fell on them, and those who were following were fearful. Then again he took aside the twelve and began and told them what was going to happen to him.

riversident@Mark:10:35 @ James and John the sons of Zebedee came to him and said, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you."

riversident@Mark:10:37 @ They said, "Grant that one of us may sit on your right hand and the other on your left hand in your glory."

riversident@Mark:10:38 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@Mark:10:39 @ They said to him, "We can." Jesus said,

riversident@Mark:10:41 @ When the ten heard about this, they became indignant at James and John.

riversident@Mark:10:42 @ Jesus called them to him and said,

riversident@Mark:10:46 @ They came to Jericho. As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (note:)the son of Timaeus(:note), a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside.

riversident@Mark:10:47 @ When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, "Son of David, Jesus, pity me!"

riversident@Mark:10:49 @ Jesus stopped and said, They called the blind man, saying, "Courage; rise up; he is calling you."

riversident@Mark:10:51 @ Jesus said to him, The blind man said, "Rabboni, I want to regain my sight."

riversident@Mark:10:52 @ Jesus said, At once he could see and followed Jesus along the road.

riversident@Mark:11:1 @ WHEN they were approaching Jerusalem, near Bethphage and Bethany, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples

riversident@Mark:11:2 @ and told them,

riversident@Mark:11:4 @ They went and found the colt tied near the door outside in the street, and they untied him.

riversident@Mark:11:5 @ Some of those who were standing there said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

riversident@Mark:11:6 @ They gave the reply that Jesus had told them to give, and the men let them take it.

riversident@Mark:11:7 @ They brought the colt to Jesus and threw upon it their cloaks and he mounted it.

riversident@Mark:11:8 @ Then many spread their cloaks in the road and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.

riversident@Mark:11:9 @ Some went in front and some followed, shouting, "God save him! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

riversident@Mark:11:10 @ Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! God in highest heaven save him!"

riversident@Mark:11:11 @ He entered Jerusalem and came into the Temple courts. After inspecting everything, because it was already late he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

riversident@Mark:11:12 @ On the next morning, after they had left Bethany, he was hungry,

riversident@Mark:11:13 @ and seeing a fig tree at a distance in full leaf he went to it on the chance of finding something on it. But when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

riversident@Mark:11:14 @ Then he said to it, And his disciples heard him.

riversident@Mark:11:15 @ They came to Jerusalem, and he went into the Temple courts and began to cast out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of the dove-sellers,

riversident@Mark:11:16 @ and would not allow any one to carry anything through the Temple courts,

riversident@Mark:11:17 @ for he taught and said to them,

riversident@Mark:11:18 @ When the high priests and the scribes heard of this they tried to contrive to put him out of the way, for they were afraid of him because the people were deeply impressed by his teaching.

riversident@Mark:11:19 @ When evening came, Jesus and his disciples used to go out of the city.

riversident@Mark:11:20 @ As they were passing by early in the morning they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.

riversident@Mark:11:21 @ Peter, calling to mind, said to him, "Rabbi, see, the fig tree that you cursed has withered up."

riversident@Mark:11:27 @ They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking about in the Temple courts, the high priests and the scribes came to him

riversident@Mark:11:28 @ and said, "By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you authority to do them?"

riversident@Mark:11:31 @ But they discussed among themselves, "If we say 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?'

riversident@Mark:11:32 @ But if we say, 'From men,' \'97 they feared the people, for all regarded John as really a prophet.

riversident@Mark:11:33 @ So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." And he replied,

riversident@Mark:12:1 @ THEN he began to speak to them in figures:

riversident@Mark:12:12 @ They kept trying to seize him, but were afraid of the crowd. For they knew that he had meant the illustration for them. So they left him and went away.

riversident@Mark:12:13 @ Then they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to entrap him in his talk.

riversident@Mark:12:14 @ When they came, they said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are true and are not afraid of any one; for you do not look at the social standing of men, but you teach the way of God in truth. Is it right to pay tribute to Caesar or not?

riversident@Mark:12:15 @ Shall we pay or shall we not pay?" But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them,

riversident@Mark:12:16 @ They brought one. Then he said, They said to him, "Caesar's."

riversident@Mark:12:17 @ Jesus said to them, They were astonished at him.

riversident@Mark:12:18 @ Then there came to him some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. They asked him,

riversident@Mark:12:19 @ "Teacher, Moses wrote a law for us that if any man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but no child, the brother shall take the wife and raise up off-spring for his brother.

riversident@Mark:12:20 @ Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died leaving no child,

riversident@Mark:12:21 @ then the second took her and died leaving no child, then the third likewise.

riversident@Mark:12:22 @ None of the seven left any child. Last of all the woman died also.

riversident@Mark:12:23 @ In the resurrection when they rise again whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife."

riversident@Mark:12:24 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@Mark:12:28 @ Then came one of the scribes, and, after listening to their discussion and knowing that he had answered them well, asked, "Which is the first commandment of all?"

riversident@Mark:12:32 @ The scribe said to him, "Right, teacher; you have said truly that he is one and there is no other beside him,

riversident@Mark:12:33 @ 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 one's self is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

riversident@Mark:12:34 @ Jesus, seeing that he had answered with intelligence, said to him, After that no one dared question him further.

riversident@Mark:12:35 @ Then Jesus asked, while teaching in the Temple courts,

riversident@Mark:12:41 @ Having seated himself across from the contribution box, he was watching how the crowd dropped money into the box. Many rich people were dropping in large gifts.

riversident@Mark:12:42 @ There came a poor widow and dropped in two mites, in value one penny.

riversident@Mark:12:43 @ Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said to them,

riversident@Mark:13:1 @ AS he was going out of the Temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, "Teacher, see what great stones and what great buildings!"

riversident@Mark:13:3 @ Then, when he was sitting on the Mount of Olives across from the Temple buildings, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

riversident@Mark:13:4 @ "Tell us when these things will be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to come to pass?"

riversident@Mark:13:5 @ Jesus began and said to them:

riversident@Mark:14:1 @ THE Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were to come after two days. The high priests and the scribes were contriving how they might seize him by some stratagem and kill him.

riversident@Mark:14:2 @ For they said, "Not at the feast; there might be a popular outbreak."

riversident@Mark:14:3 @ During his stay in Bethany in the house of Simon the Leper, while he was reclining at table there came a woman with an alabaster jar of pure nard perfume, very costly. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.

riversident@Mark:14:4 @ Some were indignant among themselves and said, "For what purpose was this waste of the perfume?

riversident@Mark:14:5 @ This perfume could have been sold for more than three hundred shillings and the money given to the poor." So they were indignant at her.

riversident@Mark:14:10 @ Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the high priests to betray him to them.

riversident@Mark:14:11 @ They were glad to hear it and promised to give him money. He meanwhile was contriving how he could betray him at some favorable time.

riversident@Mark:14:12 @ On the first day of unleavened bread \'97 when they sacrificed the Passover lamb \'97 his disciples said to him, "Where do you wish us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

riversident@Mark:14:13 @ So he sent two of his disciples, telling them,

riversident@Mark:14:16 @ The disciples went and entered the city and found everything as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

riversident@Mark:14:17 @ In the evening Jesus came with the twelve.

riversident@Mark:14:18 @ As they were reclining and eating, he said,

riversident@Mark:14:19 @ They began to be sad and to say one to another, "It cannot be I?"

riversident@Mark:14:22 @ While they were eating, he took a loaf and blessed it and broke it and gave to them, saying,

riversident@Mark:14:23 @ Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

riversident@Mark:14:24 @ He said to them,

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

riversident@Mark:14:27 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@Mark:14:31 @ But he kept saying more earnestly, "Though I have to die with you, I will not disown you." Just so they all said.

riversident@Mark:14:32 @ They came to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples,

riversident@Mark:14:34 @ He said to them,

riversident@Mark:14:35 @ Then he went forward a little and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass from him.

riversident@Mark:14:37 @ Then he came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter,

riversident@Mark:14:39 @ Then he went away again and prayed, saying the same words.

riversident@Mark:14:40 @ Again he returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to answer him.

riversident@Mark:14:41 @ He came back the third time and said to them,

riversident@Mark:14:43 @ Immediately, even while he was speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, was there and with him a crowd with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the high priests and the scribes and the elders.

riversident@Mark:14:44 @ The traitor had given them a sign, "The man I kiss, that is he. Seize him and take him safely away."

riversident@Mark:14:46 @ They laid their hands on him and held him.

riversident@Mark:14:47 @ But one of those who stood near drew his sword and struck a servant of the High Priest, cutting off his ear.

riversident@Mark:14:48 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@Mark:14:50 @ Then all his friends left him and fled.

riversident@Mark:14:51 @ There was a young man following him who had thrown a linen cloth around his naked body. They seized him,

riversident@Mark:14:52 @ but he left the linen cloth and fled naked.

riversident@Mark:14:53 @ They led Jesus away to the High Priest, and all the high priests and elders and scribes assembled.

riversident@Mark:14:54 @ Peter followed him at a distance and came inside the court of the High Priest and sat with the attendants, and warmed himself in the light of the fire.

riversident@Mark:14:55 @ The high priests and all the council tried to get testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, but they could not find any.

riversident@Mark:14:56 @ Many bore false witness against him, but their testimony did not agree.

riversident@Mark:14:57 @ Then some rose and testified falsely against him,

riversident@Mark:14:58 @ "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this Temple made by hands and in three days I will build another not made by hands.'

riversident@Mark:14:59 @ But their testimony did not agree even regarding this.

riversident@Mark:14:60 @ Then the High Priest rose and came forward into the midst and questioned Jesus, "Have you no answer? What about this evidence against you?"

riversident@Mark:14:61 @ But he was silent and did not answer a word. Again the High Priest questioned him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

riversident@Mark:14:63 @ Then the High Priest rent his garments and said, "Why do we any longer have need of witnesses?

riversident@Mark:14:64 @ You have heard his impious words. How does it appear to you?" They all condemned him as deserving of death.

riversident@Mark:14:65 @ Then some began to spit on him and to blindfold him and to strike him with their fists and say, "Prophesy," and the attendants slapped him as they took him in charge.

riversident@Mark:14:66 @ While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the maids of the High Priest came,

riversident@Mark:14:67 @ and when she saw Peter warming himself she looked at him and said, "You too were with the Nazarene, this Jesus."

riversident@Mark:14:68 @ But he denied it and said, "I do not know nor understand what you are saying." Then he went out into the outer courtyard.

riversident@Mark:14:69 @ There the maid saw him and began again to say to those who stood around, "This man is one of them."

riversident@Mark:14:70 @ But he again denied. Again after a little the men who were standing by said to Peter, "Truly you are one of them, for you are a Galilaean."

riversident@Mark:14:72 @ Immediately, for the second time, the cock crew and Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him, and when he thought of it he wept aloud.

riversident@Mark:15:1 @ PROMPTLY at dawn the high priests, after holding a consultation with the elders and the scribes and the whole council, bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate.

riversident@Mark:15:2 @ Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him,

riversident@Mark:15:3 @ The high priests went on making many charges against him.

riversident@Mark:15:4 @ Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many charges they are making against you."

riversident@Mark:15:6 @ It was customary that at every feast he should release some one prisoner at their request.

riversident@Mark:15:7 @ There was a man called Barabbas in chains among those insurrectionaries who in the insurrection had committed murder.

riversident@Mark:15:8 @ The crowd advanced and began asking him to do as he was accustomed to do for them.

riversident@Mark:15:9 @ Pilate answered them, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"

riversident@Mark:15:10 @ For he knew that it was on account of envy that the high priests had handed him over.

riversident@Mark:15:11 @ But the high priests incited the crowd to have him rather set free Barabbas for them.

riversident@Mark:15:12 @ Pilate again asked, "What, then, shall I do with him whom you call the King of the Jews?"

riversident@Mark:15:13 @ They again shouted, "Crucify him!"

riversident@Mark:15:14 @ But Pilate said to them, "What has he done that was wrong?" But they shouted violently, "Crucify him!"

riversident@Mark:15:15 @ Then Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, set free Barabbas for them and after scourging Jesus handed him over to be crucified.

riversident@Mark:15:16 @ The soldiers led him away inside the courtyard of the castle and called together the whole battalion.

riversident@Mark:15:17 @ Then they dressed him in purple and put on him a crown of thorns which they had twisted together,

riversident@Mark:15:18 @ and they began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

riversident@Mark:15:19 @ They kept striking him on the head with a reed and spitting on him, and bending their knees they did homage to him.

riversident@Mark:15:20 @ After making sport of him, they took off the purple and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

riversident@Mark:15:21 @ They impressed a man who was passing by, Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country (note:)the father of Alexander and Rufus(:note), to carry his cross.

riversident@Mark:15:22 @ So they brought him to the place Golgotha, which means Skull Place.

riversident@Mark:15:23 @ They gave him wine flavored with myrrh, but he did not take it.

riversident@Mark:15:24 @ Then they crucified him. They divided his clothes, casting lots what part each should take.

riversident@Mark:15:25 @ It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.

riversident@Mark:15:26 @ The statement of his crime was written up over him:

riversident@Mark:15:29 @ The people who passed by scoffed at him, shaking their heads and saying, "Ha, you who can pull down the Temple and build it up in three days,

riversident@Mark:15:30 @ save yourself by coining down from the cross."

riversident@Mark:15:31 @ In the same way the high priests, jesting with one another, and the scribes said, "He saved others; himself he cannot save.

riversident@Mark:15:32 @ Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross so that we may see and believe." Even the men who were crucified along with him reviled him.

riversident@Mark:15:33 @ At noon darkness fell on all the land and continued until three o'clock.

riversident@Mark:15:35 @ Some of the bystanders, when they heard this, said, "See, he is calling Elijah."

riversident@Mark:15:36 @ One ran and filled a sponge with sour wine and put it on a reed and gave him a drink, saying, "Let him be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to take him down."

riversident@Mark:15:37 @ But Jesus uttered a loud cry and ceased to breathe.

riversident@Mark:15:38 @ Then the curtain in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

riversident@Mark:15:39 @ When the Centurion who was standing facing him saw that he expired in this way, he exclaimed, "Truly this man was a son of God!"

riversident@Mark:15:40 @ There were also some women looking on from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the Little and Joses, and Salome,

riversident@Mark:15:41 @ who when he was in Galilee used to follow him and wait on him, and there were many others who had come up with him to Jerusalem.

riversident@Mark:15:42 @ It was now late in the afternoon and, since it was Preparation Day, that is the day before the Sabbath,

riversident@Mark:15:43 @ Joseph of Arimathaea, a councilor of high standing, who himself was looking for the kingdom of God, took courage to go in to Pilate and ask for the body of Jesus.

riversident@Mark:15:44 @ Pilate wondered whether he was already dead, but he called in the Centurion and asked him whether Jesus had been long dead.

riversident@Mark:15:45 @ Upon learning this from the Centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

riversident@Mark:15:46 @ Joseph bought a linen sheet and took him down and swathed him in it and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out in the rock. He then rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

riversident@Mark:15:47 @ Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where Jesus was laid.

riversident@Mark:16:1 @ WHEN the Sabbath had passed, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought perfumes to go and anoint him.

riversident@Mark:16:2 @ Very early in the morning of the first day of the week they came to the tomb. The sun had risen.

riversident@Mark:16:3 @ They were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?"

riversident@Mark:16:4 @ But when they looked they saw that the stone had been rolled away. It was very large.

riversident@Mark:16:5 @ Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side dressed in a white robe, and they were frightened.

riversident@Mark:16:6 @ But he said to them, "Do not be frightened. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene who was crucified. He has risen. He is not here. This is the place where they laid him.

riversident@Mark:16:7 @ But go tell his disciples and Peter, He has gone before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he told you."

riversident@Mark:16:8 @ The women came out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and amazement seized them. They told nothing to any one, they were so frightened.

riversident@Mark:16:9 @ After Jesus rose early on the morning of the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.

riversident@Mark:16:10 @ She went and told those who had been with him as they were grieving and lamenting.

riversident@Mark:16:11 @ But they, when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, did not believe her.

riversident@Mark:16:12 @ After this he appeared in another form to two of them as they were walking into the country.

riversident@Mark:16:13 @ They went and told the rest. But neither did they believe these men.

riversident@Mark:16:14 @ Later he appeared to the eleven as they were reclining at table, and reproached them for their lack of faith and dullness of mind because they had not believed those who had seen him since his resurrection.

riversident@Mark:16:15 @ He said to them,

riversident@Mark:16:19 @ Then the Lord Jesus, after talking with them, was taken up into heaven and sat down on the right hand of God.

riversident@Luke:1:2 @ just as those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses and who became bearers of the message handed them down to us;

riversident@Luke:1:3 @ it has seemed good to me also \'97 since I have followed everything from the beginning accurately \'97 to write a consecutive account for you, most excellent Theophilus,

riversident@Luke:1:4 @ so that you may know the exact truth in regard to the matters which you have been taught by word of mouth.

riversident@Luke:1:5 @ There was in the days of Herod, King of Judaea, a certain priest by the name of Zacharias, of the course of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

riversident@Luke:1:6 @ They were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and regulations of the Lord blameless.

riversident@Luke:1:7 @ But they had no child, for Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.

riversident@Luke:1:8 @ It happened that as Zacharias was performing his priestly duties before God in the order of his course,

riversident@Luke:1:9 @ according to the custom of the priesthood, it fell to him to enter the Temple of the Lord and offer the incense.

riversident@Luke:1:10 @ All the congregation of people was in prayer outside, at the hour of incense.

riversident@Luke:1:11 @ There appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.

riversident@Luke:1:13 @ But the angel said to him, "Do not fear, Zacharias, for your prayer has been heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear a son, and you will call his name John.

riversident@Luke:1:15 @ For he will be great before the Lord. He will not drink wine or strong drink. He will be full of the Holy Spirit even from his birth,

riversident@Luke:1:16 @ and many of the sons of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God.

riversident@Luke:1:17 @ He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him."

riversident@Luke:1:18 @ Zacharias said to the angel, "By what proof shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years."

riversident@Luke:1:19 @ The angel answered, "I am Gabriel, who stands before the face of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to give you this good news.

riversident@Luke:1:20 @ And now you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that this comes to pass, because you have not believed my words, which will be fulfilled in their time."

riversident@Luke:1:21 @ The people were waiting for Zacharias and wondering at his staying so long in the Temple.

riversident@Luke:1:22 @ But when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the Temple. He kept making signs to them and remained dumb.

riversident@Luke:1:23 @ When the days of his priestly service were finished, he went away to his home.

riversident@Luke:1:24 @ After these days Elizabeth his wife conceived and hid herself five months, saying,

riversident@Luke:1:25 @ "So has the Lord done for me in the days in which he has looked upon me to take away my reproach among men."

riversident@Luke:1:26 @ In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

riversident@Luke:1:27 @ to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The name of the virgin was Mary.

riversident@Luke:1:28 @ The angel entered and said to her, "Hail, favored one, the Lord is with you!"

riversident@Luke:1:30 @ The angel said to her, "Do not fear, Mary; for you have found favor with God.

riversident@Luke:1:32 @ He will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.

riversident@Luke:1:33 @ He will be king over the house of Jacob through the ages, and of his kingdom there will be no end."

riversident@Luke:1:34 @ But Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am not united to a man?"

riversident@Luke:1:35 @ The angel replied, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Highest will overshadow you. For that reason the child that is begotten will be called holy, Son of God.

riversident@Luke:1:36 @ And, indeed, Elizabeth your relative, even she, has conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

riversident@Luke:1:38 @ Mary said, "Here I am, the Lord's handmaid. Let it be to me according to your word." Then the angel left her.

riversident@Luke:1:39 @ In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill-country to a city of Judah,

riversident@Luke:1:40 @ and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.

riversident@Luke:1:41 @ When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the babe leapt in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit

riversident@Luke:1:42 @ and spoke out with a loud voice and said, "Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

riversident@Luke:1:43 @ But why do I have the honor of having the mother of my Lord come to me?

riversident@Luke:1:44 @ For, indeed, when the sound of your greeting fell upon my ears, the babe leapt for joy in my womb.

riversident@Luke:1:45 @ Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a complete fulfillment of the things spoken to her from the Lord!"

riversident@Luke:1:46 @ Then Mary said: "My soul magnifies the Lord,

riversident@Luke:1:48 @ Because he has looked upon the low estate of his handmaid. Indeed, from this time all generations will call me blessed.

riversident@Luke:1:49 @ Because the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is his name.

riversident@Luke:1:51 @ He shows strength with his arm; He scatters the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.

riversident@Luke:1:52 @ He casts down princes from their thrones and raises up the lowly.

riversident@Luke:1:53 @ The hungry he fills with good things and the affluent he sends away empty.

riversident@Luke:1:55 @ just as he promised our fathers, Abraham and his descendants, forever."

riversident@Luke:1:56 @ Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home.

riversident@Luke:1:58 @ Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown great kindness to her, and they rejoiced with her.

riversident@Luke:1:59 @ On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called him by the name of his father Zacharias.

riversident@Luke:1:60 @ But his mother said, "No, but he shall be called John."

riversident@Luke:1:61 @ They said to her, "There is no one of your family who is called by that name."

riversident@Luke:1:62 @ Then they made signs to his father to know what he wanted him called.

riversident@Luke:1:63 @ He asked for a tablet and wrote, "His name is John." They all wondered.

riversident@Luke:1:65 @ Awe fell on all their neighbors, and in the whole hill-country of Judaea all these matters were talked about.

riversident@Luke:1:66 @ All who heard them laid them up in their minds, saying, "What then will this child be?" For the hand of the Lord was with him.

riversident@Luke:1:67 @ Zacharias, his father, was filled with the Holy Spirit and said prophetically:

riversident@Luke:1:68 @ "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! For he has looked upon his people, and made deliverance for them.

riversident@Luke:1:69 @ He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant,

riversident@Luke:1:70 @ As he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets of old,

riversident@Luke:1:71 @ Salvation from our enemies and from the hands of all those that hate us,

riversident@Luke:1:72 @ Dealing kindly with our forefathers, mindful of his holy covenant,

riversident@Luke:1:73 @ The oath which he swore to Abraham our father,

riversident@Luke:1:74 @ To grant that we, saved from the hands of our enemies, may serve him Without fear

riversident@Luke:1:76 @ And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High. You will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,

riversident@Luke:1:77 @ To give the knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins,

riversident@Luke:1:78 @ Through the tender compassion of our God, With which the sunrise from on high will shine upon us;

riversident@Luke:1:79 @ To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, To guide our feet into the path of peace."

riversident@Luke:1:80 @ The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he lived in the wilds until the day of his appearance before Israel.

riversident@Luke:2:1 @ IN those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus for the registration of the whole world.

riversident@Luke:2:4 @ Joseph went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,

riversident@Luke:2:5 @ to be registered with Mary who was betrothed to him, and was with child.

riversident@Luke:2:6 @ While they were there, her time came

riversident@Luke:2:7 @ and she gave birth to her son, her first-born, and she wrapped him up and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

riversident@Luke:2:8 @ There were shepherds in the same country staying in the fields and keeping watch over their flocks by night.

riversident@Luke:2:9 @ Suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them. They were much afraid,

riversident@Luke:2:10 @ but the angel said to them, "Have no fear! Indeed, I am bringing you good news of a great joy which is to be for all the people;

riversident@Luke:2:11 @ for there was born for you to-day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ and Lord.

riversident@Luke:2:12 @ This will be a sign for you: you will find the babe wrapped up and lying in a manger."

riversident@Luke:2:13 @ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude from the army of heaven, praising God, and saying,

riversident@Luke:2:15 @ When the angels went away into heaven, the shepherds spoke to one another: "Let us go to Bethlehem and see this that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."

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

riversident@Luke:2:17 @ When they saw it, they told what had been spoken to them about this child.

riversident@Luke:2:18 @ All who heard it wondered at what was said to them by the shepherds.

riversident@Luke:2:19 @ Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart.

riversident@Luke:2:20 @ Then the shepherds went back glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as it had been told them.

riversident@Luke:2:21 @ When eight days had passed and the time to circumcise him had come, his name was called Jesus \'97 the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

riversident@Luke:2:22 @ When the days of their purification were completed, according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,

riversident@Luke:2:23 @ as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every firstborn male shall be called holy to the Lord,"

riversident@Luke:2:24 @ and to give an offering according to what is said in the law of the Lord, "a pair of doves or two young pigeons."

riversident@Luke:2:25 @ There was in Jerusalem a man named Simeon, and this man was upright and God-fearing, looking forward to the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

riversident@Luke:2:26 @ It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he was not to see death before he saw the Lord's Christ.

riversident@Luke:2:27 @ Led by the Spirit he came into the Temple courts, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus in order to do for him according to the custom of the law,

riversident@Luke:2:31 @ which thou hast prepared before the face of all the peoples,

riversident@Luke:2:33 @ His father and his mother wondered at the things that were spoken about him.

riversident@Luke:2:34 @ Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, "This child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel and for a sign much spoken against

riversident@Luke:2:36 @ And there was Anna, a prophetess, a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was far advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from her maidenhood

riversident@Luke:2:37 @ and having been a widow for now eighty-four years. She never left the Temple courts, but worshiped by fastings and prayers, night and day.

riversident@Luke:2:38 @ She too came up at that time and praised God and spoke about him to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.

riversident@Luke:2:39 @ When they had completed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own city Nazareth.

riversident@Luke:2:40 @ The child grew and became strong and was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

riversident@Luke:2:41 @ His parents used to go up every year to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover.

riversident@Luke:2:42 @ When he had reached the age of twelve years, and they had gone up according to the custom of the feast

riversident@Luke:2:43 @ and had completed the days and were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. But his parents did not know it.

riversident@Luke:2:44 @ Thinking that he was in the company, they went a day's journey. But when they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances

riversident@Luke:2:45 @ and did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem searching for him.

riversident@Luke:2:46 @ On the third day they found him in the Temple courts, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.

riversident@Luke:2:48 @ When his parents saw him, they were amazed, and his mother said to him, "Child, why have you treated us so? See, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress."

riversident@Luke:2:49 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:2:50 @ They did not understand the words that he spoke.

riversident@Luke:2:51 @ Then he went down with them, and came to Nazareth and was obedient to them. His mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

riversident@Luke:3:1 @ IN the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was Governor of Judaea and Herod Prince of Galilee, and Philip his brother Prince of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias Prince of Abilene,

riversident@Luke:3:2 @ during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wild lands.

riversident@Luke:3:3 @ Then he came into all the neighborhood of the Jordan proclaiming baptism for a change of heart in order to forgiveness of sins,

riversident@Luke:3:4 @ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one shouting in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight!'

riversident@Luke:3:5 @ Every ravine shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be graded down, and the crooked places shall become straight and the rough roads shall become smooth,

riversident@Luke:3:6 @ and all men shall see the salvation of God."

riversident@Luke:3:7 @ He said to the crowds that went out to be baptized by him, "Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

riversident@Luke:3:8 @ Produce then fruits suitable for a change of heart, and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father.' For I tell you, God is able out of these stones to raise up children for Abraham.

riversident@Luke:3:9 @ Already the axe is lying at the root of the trees. Every tree that does not yield good fruit is to be cut down and thrown into the fire."

riversident@Luke:3:10 @ The crowds asked him, "What then shall we do?"

riversident@Luke:3:13 @ He said to them, "Do nothing beyond what you are authorized."

riversident@Luke:3:14 @ Soldiers asked him, "And what shall we do?" He said to them, "Do violence to no man; bring no false accusations; be content with your rations."

riversident@Luke:3:15 @ As the people were in expectation and all were debating in their minds about John, whether he was the Christ,

riversident@Luke:3:16 @ John said to them all, "I am baptizing you with water, but there is coming the One mightier than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to unfasten. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

riversident@Luke:3:17 @ He has his fan in his hand to cleanse his threshing floor and gather the wheat into his granary. But the chaff he will burn up with fire unquenchable."

riversident@Luke:3:18 @ With many different exhortations John proclaimed the good news to the people.

riversident@Luke:3:19 @ But Herod, the prince, because John reproved him regarding Herodias, his brother's wife, and regarding all the wicked things which Herod had done,

riversident@Luke:3:20 @ added also this wickedness to all the rest \'97 he shut up John in prison.

riversident@Luke:3:21 @ When all the people were being baptized, and when Jesus had been baptized and was praying, heaven was opened,

riversident@Luke:3:22 @ and the Holy Spirit in bodily form like a dove descended upon him, and a voice came from heaven, "Thou art my Son, the Beloved. In thee I delight."

riversident@Luke:4:28 @ Upon hearing these words, all in the synagogue were filled with rage,

riversident@Luke:4:29 @ and they rose up and expelled him from the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, intending to throw him down.

riversident@Luke:4:30 @ But he passed through the midst of them and went away.

riversident@Luke:4:31 @ He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. There he was teaching them on the Sabbath,

riversident@Luke:4:32 @ and they were amazed at his teaching, because he spoke with authority.

riversident@Luke:4:33 @ In the synagogue there was a man with the spirit of an impure demon, and he shouted with a loud voice,

riversident@Luke:4:34 @ "Ha, what have you to do with us, Nazarene Jesus? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are \'97 The Holy One of God."

riversident@Luke:4:35 @ Jesus rebuked him, saying, The demon flung him prostrate in the midst, but came out of him without injuring him at all.

riversident@Luke:4:42 @ When morning came, he went out and departed to a solitary place. The crowds were looking for him and came to where he was and tried to hinder his going away from them.

riversident@Luke:4:43 @ But he said to them,

riversident@Luke:4:44 @ So he continued teaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

riversident@Luke:5:1 @ IT happened that, as the crowd was pressing upon him and listening to the word of God, he was standing on the shore of Lake Gennesaret,

riversident@Luke:5:10 @ It was just the same with James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. But Jesus said to Simon,

riversident@Luke:5:11 @ Then they brought their boats to land and left all and followed him.

riversident@Luke:5:12 @ It happened that, when he was in one of the cities, there was a man present full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, "Sir, if you will, you can cleanse me."

riversident@Luke:5:13 @ Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, and said, Immediately the leprosy left him.

riversident@Luke:5:15 @ But all the more the reports about him spread, and great crowds came together to hear and to be healed of their infirmities.

riversident@Luke:5:17 @ It happened on one of those days that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting who had come from every village of Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal.

riversident@Luke:5:18 @ Then came some men bearing on a bed a man who was paralytic, and they tried to bring him in and lay him before Jesus.

riversident@Luke:5:19 @ When they could not contrive to bring him in on account of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiles with his pallet into the midst in front of Jesus.

riversident@Luke:5:20 @ He saw their faith and said,

riversident@Luke:5:21 @ The scribes and Pharisees began to argue, saying, "Who is this man who speaks profane words? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

riversident@Luke:5:22 @ But Jesus perceived their arguing and asked them,

riversident@Luke:5:24 @ \'97 he said to the paralytic \'97

riversident@Luke:5:25 @ Immediately he stood up before them and took up what he had been lying on and went away to his house, glorifying God.

riversident@Luke:5:26 @ Amazement seized them all and they gave glory to God, yet they were also filled with awe, and said, "We have seen astonishing things today!"

riversident@Luke:5:27 @ After this he went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at the tax office, and he said to him,

riversident@Luke:5:29 @ Levi held a great reception for him at his house, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others reclining at table with them.

riversident@Luke:5:30 @ The Pharisees and their scribes grumbled to his disciples, and said, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

riversident@Luke:5:31 @ Jesus answered them,

riversident@Luke:5:33 @ They said to him, "The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do those of the Pharisees, but your followers eat and drink."

riversident@Luke:5:34 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@Luke:5:36 @ He gave them also some illustrations.

riversident@Luke:6:1 @ IT happened that he was passing one Sabbath through some grainfields, and his disciples were plucking and eating the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.

riversident@Luke:6:2 @ But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?"

riversident@Luke:6:3 @ Jesus answered them,

riversident@Luke:6:5 @ He said further to them,

riversident@Luke:6:6 @ It happened on another Sabbath that he went into the synagogue and was teaching. There was a man there whose right hand was withered.

riversident@Luke:6:7 @ The scribes and Pharisees watched to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, wishing to find something to accuse him of.

riversident@Luke:6:8 @ But he knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, He rose and stood.

riversident@Luke:6:9 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@Luke:6:10 @ He looked around at all of them, then said to the man, He did so and his hand was restored.

riversident@Luke:6:11 @ But they were filled with blind fury, and discussed with one another what they could do to Jesus.

riversident@Luke:6:12 @ It happened during those days that he went out to the mountain and prayed and was all night in prayer to God.

riversident@Luke:6:13 @ When day came, he called to him his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom also he named "Apostles":

riversident@Luke:6:19 @ The whole crowd tried to touch him, because power went out from him and healed all.

riversident@Luke:6:39 @ He gave them an illustration:

riversident@Luke:7:1 @ WHEN he had finished all his discourses in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum.

riversident@Luke:7:2 @ The servant of a certain Centurion was sick and about to die. He was highly valued by his master,

riversident@Luke:7:3 @ who hearing about Jesus sent to him some elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.

riversident@Luke:7:4 @ When they came to Jesus they begged him earnestly, saying, "He deserves to have this done,

riversident@Luke:7:6 @ Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the Centurion sent friends to say to him, "Do not trouble yourself, Sir, for I am not fit to have you come under my roof.

riversident@Luke:7:7 @ On that account I did not think myself worthy to come to you. But say the word and have my servant cured.

riversident@Luke:7:9 @ When Jesus heard this, he wondered, and, turning to the crowd that was following him, he said,

riversident@Luke:7:10 @ Those who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.

riversident@Luke:7:12 @ As he approached the gate of the city, they were carrying out a dead man, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A great crowd from the city was with her.

riversident@Luke:7:13 @ When the Master saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her,

riversident@Luke:7:14 @ and he went up and touched the bier. The bearers stopped. He said,

riversident@Luke:7:15 @ The dead man sat up and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother.

riversident@Luke:7:16 @ All were awe-struck, and they gave praise to God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us and God has visited his people."

riversident@Luke:7:17 @ The reports about him spread through all Judaea and all the region of the Jordan.

riversident@Luke:7:18 @ John's disciples told him about all these things.

riversident@Luke:7:19 @ So he called to him two of his disciples and sent them to the Master to ask, "Are you 'the Coming One' or are we to expect some other person?"

riversident@Luke:7:20 @ When they came to him, the men said, "John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, Are you 'the Coming One' or are we to expect some other person?"

riversident@Luke:7:22 @ He answered them,

riversident@Luke:7:24 @ After John's messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John:

riversident@Luke:7:29 @ (All the people, even the tax collectors when they heard him, had confessed that God was right by being baptized with the baptism of John.

riversident@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and the lawyers had thwarted the purpose of God in reference to themselves by not being baptized by him.)

riversident@Luke:7:36 @ One of the Pharisees kept asking him to dine with him. Entering the house of this Pharisee, he reclined at the table.

riversident@Luke:7:37 @ Now there was a certain woman in the city, a sinner, and when she learned that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment

riversident@Luke:7:38 @ and took her place behind, beside his feet, weeping. Her tears began to rain down on his feet, and with the hair of her head she wiped them off, and she passionately kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.

riversident@Luke:7:39 @ When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said within himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what this woman who is touching him is, for she is a sinner."

riversident@Luke:7:43 @ Simon answered, "I suppose the one to whom he forgave most." He said to him,

riversident@Luke:7:44 @ Then, turning to the woman, he said to Simon,

riversident@Luke:7:49 @ The other guests began to say to themselves, "Who is this that even forgives sins?"

riversident@Luke:7:50 @ He said to the woman,

riversident@Luke:8:1 @ SHORTLY afterwards he was making his way through cities and villages preaching and telling the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him,

riversident@Luke:8:3 @ and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod's manager, and Susanna, and many others. These women provided for Jesus and his apostles out of their means.

riversident@Luke:8:4 @ When a great multitude was coming together and some from every city were crowding upon him, he spoke to them with an illustration:

riversident@Luke:8:9 @ His disciples kept asking him what the illustration meant.

riversident@Luke:8:19 @ His mother and his brothers came where he was, but could not get to him on account of the crowd.

riversident@Luke:8:20 @ It was told him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside wishing to see you."

riversident@Luke:8:22 @ It happened one day that he got into a boat, and his disciples went with him. He said to them, They put out.

riversident@Luke:8:23 @ While they were sailing he fell asleep. A gale of wind came down on the lake and the boat was filling and in peril.

riversident@Luke:8:24 @ Coming to him, they awoke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are going down!" He awoke and rebuked the wind and the waves. They grew quiet and there was a calm.

riversident@Luke:8:25 @ He said to the disciples, They were awed and amazed, and said to one another, "Who then is this man who commands the winds and the water and they obey him?"

riversident@Luke:8:26 @ They sailed to the land of the Gerasenes, which is across from Galilee.

riversident@Luke:8:27 @ When he got out on to the land, there met him a certain man from that city who had demons. For a long time he had not worn clothes and had not lived in a house, but in the tombs.

riversident@Luke:8:29 @ For he had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and, though he was bound with chains and fetters and kept under guard, yet bursting his chains he would be driven by the demon off into the wilds.

riversident@Luke:8:31 @ They begged him not to bid them go away into the abyss.

riversident@Luke:8:32 @ There was near by a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain. The demons begged him to permit them to go into the swine. He gave them leave.

riversident@Luke:8:33 @ The demons left the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

riversident@Luke:8:34 @ The herdsmen, seeing what had happened, fled and told it in the city and on the farms.

riversident@Luke:8:35 @ The people came out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind, and they were struck with awe.

riversident@Luke:8:36 @ Those who had seen it told them how the demoniac had been cured.

riversident@Luke:8:37 @ Whereupon all the crowd from the region of the Gerasenes asked him to go away from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into a boat and returned.

riversident@Luke:8:38 @ The man from whom the demons had gone out begged him to let him be with him. But he sent him away, saying,

riversident@Luke:8:39 @ He went through the whole city proclaiming how much Jesus had done for him.

riversident@Luke:8:41 @ There came a man by the name of Jairus \'97 he was a synagogue director. Falling at the feet of Jesus, he begged him to come to his house

riversident@Luke:8:42 @ because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As he was going the crowds pressed around him.

riversident@Luke:8:44 @ came up behind him and touched the tassel of his cloak. At once her hemorrhage ceased.

riversident@Luke:8:45 @ Jesus said, All denied, and Peter said, "Master, the crowd is pressing upon you on every side."

riversident@Luke:8:47 @ The woman, seeing that she had not escaped notice, came trembling and fell before him, and told before all the people why she had touched him and how she was instantly cured.

riversident@Luke:8:49 @ While he was still speaking some one came from the Director's house, saying, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the teacher any longer."

riversident@Luke:8:51 @ When he came to the house, he did not permit any one to enter with him except Peter and John and James and the father of the child and her mother.

riversident@Luke:8:53 @ They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.

riversident@Luke:8:55 @ Her spirit returned and at once she stood up. He told them to give her something to eat.

riversident@Luke:8:56 @ Her parents were amazed, but he told them not to tell any one of what had happened.

riversident@Luke:9:1 @ JESUS called together the twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.

riversident@Luke:9:2 @ Then he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.

riversident@Luke:9:3 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:9:6 @ Going forth, they began telling the good news from village to village and performing cures everywhere.

riversident@Luke:9:7 @ Herod the Prince heard of all that was going on, and he was at a loss because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

riversident@Luke:9:8 @ by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that some one of the old prophets had arisen.

riversident@Luke:9:10 @ The apostles returned and told Jesus all that they had done. Taking them with him, he went away privately to a city called Bethsaida.

riversident@Luke:9:11 @ The crowds found it out and followed him. He welcomed them and talked to them about the kingdom of God, and cured those who needed healing.

riversident@Luke:9:12 @ When the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to him, "Dismiss the crowd, so that they may go to the villages and farms around and put up for the night and find food, for here we are in the wild lands."

riversident@Luke:9:13 @ He said to them, They replied, "We have not more than five loaves and two fishes. We cannot go and buy food for all this crowd, can we?"

riversident@Luke:9:14 @ There were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples,

riversident@Luke:9:15 @ They did so, and made all recline.

riversident@Luke:9:16 @ Taking the five loaves and the fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed them and broke them and gave to the disciples to distribute to the crowd.

riversident@Luke:9:17 @ They all ate and had abundance, and what was left over was picked up \'97 twelve baskets of fragments.

riversident@Luke:9:18 @ Once when he was praying alone, his disciples joined him, and he asked them,

riversident@Luke:9:19 @ They answered, "John the Baptist; others say Elijah; others that some one of the old prophets has arisen."

riversident@Luke:9:20 @ He said to them, Peter answered, "The Christ of God."

riversident@Luke:9:21 @ But he rebuked him, and charged them not to say this to any one,

riversident@Luke:9:22 @ telling them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and high priests and be killed, and on the third day be raised.

riversident@Luke:9:28 @ About eight days after this conversation, Jesus took with him Peter and John and James and went up the mountain to pray.

riversident@Luke:9:29 @ While he was praying, the appearance of his face changed and his clothing became radiant white.

riversident@Luke:9:30 @ Suddenly two men were talking with him. They were Moses and Elijah,

riversident@Luke:9:32 @ Peter and his companions had been weighed down with sleep, but becoming fully awake they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him.

riversident@Luke:9:33 @ As they were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is fine for us to be here. Let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah," not knowing what he was saying.

riversident@Luke:9:34 @ While he was saying it there came a cloud and over-shadowed them. They were frightened as they entered the cloud.

riversident@Luke:9:35 @ Then a voice came from the cloud saying, "This is my Son, the Chosen, listen to him."

riversident@Luke:9:36 @ When the voice came, Jesus was there alone. They kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

riversident@Luke:9:37 @ On the next day, as they were coming down from the mountain, a great crowd met him,

riversident@Luke:9:38 @ and suddenly a man from the crowd cried out, "Teacher, I pray you look at my son, for he is my only one,

riversident@Luke:9:40 @ I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."

riversident@Luke:9:42 @ Even while he was coming, the demon dashed him down and convulsed him. Jesus rebuked the impure spirit and healed the boy and gave him back to his father.

riversident@Luke:9:43 @ They were amazed at the greatness of God. While they were all wondering at all the things that he did, he said to his disciples,

riversident@Luke:9:45 @ But they did not understand this remark, and it was hidden from them so that they did not take it in, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

riversident@Luke:9:46 @ A dispute started among them as to which of them was greatest.

riversident@Luke:9:47 @ Jesus knew the question that was in their minds, and he took a little child and stood him beside himself.

riversident@Luke:9:48 @ Then he said to them,

riversident@Luke:9:51 @ As the days before his being taken up to heaven were passing, he set his face to go to Jerusalem

riversident@Luke:9:52 @ and sent on messengers in advance. In journeying they came to a village of Samaritans to make arrangements for him.

riversident@Luke:9:53 @ The Samaritans did not receive him because his face was toward Jerusalem.

riversident@Luke:9:54 @ On seeing this, his disciples James and John said, "Sir, do you want us to bid fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"

riversident@Luke:9:55 @ But he turned and rebuked them. So they journeyed to another village.

riversident@Luke:9:57 @ As they were traveling on the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."

riversident@Luke:9:59 @ He said to another, But he said, "Let me first go and bury my father."

riversident@Luke:9:61 @ Another said, "I will follow you, Sir, but first let me say good-bye to those at my home."

riversident@Luke:10:1 @ AFTER this, the Master appointed seventy others and sent them out two and two before him into every city and place where he was soon to come.

riversident@Luke:10:2 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:10:17 @ The seventy returned with joy saying, "Master, even the demons are subject to us in your name."

riversident@Luke:10:18 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:10:21 @ At that hour in exultant joy through the Holy Sprit he said,

riversident@Luke:10:25 @ Then a certain lawyer stood up to test him, and said, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit life eternal?"

riversident@Luke:10:27 @ He answered, " 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy strength and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself.'

riversident@Luke:10:38 @ As they journeyed, he entered a certain village. There a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.

riversident@Luke:10:39 @ She had a sister called Mary who seated herself at the feet of the Master and was listening to his words.

riversident@Luke:10:40 @ But Martha was busy and worried over a great deal of service. Coming to him she said, "Master, do you not care that my sister has left me to do the work alone? Tell her to take hold with me."

riversident@Luke:10:41 @ But the Master answered her,

riversident@Luke:11:2 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:11:5 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:11:14 @ He was casting out a demon and it was dumb. After the demon had gone out, the dumb man spoke and the crowds wondered.

riversident@Luke:11:15 @ But some of them said, "By Beelzebul, the chief of the demons, he casts out the demons."

riversident@Luke:11:16 @ Others, by way of test, demanded of him a sign from heaven.

riversident@Luke:11:17 @ But he, knowing their reasonings, said to them,

riversident@Luke:11:27 @ While he was saying this a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, "Blessed was the womb that carried you and the breasts that you sucked!"

riversident@Luke:11:29 @ As the crowds were thronging about him, he began and said,

riversident@Luke:11:38 @ The Pharisee, seeing this, wondered that he had not first washed before dinner.

riversident@Luke:11:39 @ The Master said to him,

riversident@Luke:11:45 @ One of the lawyers answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you treat us roughly too."

riversident@Luke:11:53 @ After he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon him angrily and cross-question him on many points,

riversident@Luke:12:1 @ MEANWHILE, as the myriads of the crowd were thronging together so that they trod down one another, he began and said to his disciples first,

riversident@Luke:12:13 @ One out of the crowd said to him, "Teacher, bid my brother to divide the inheritance with me."

riversident@Luke:12:15 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:12:16 @ He gave them an illustration, saying,

riversident@Luke:12:42 @ The Master said,

riversident@Luke:12:54 @ He said also to the crowds,

riversident@Luke:13:1 @ AT that time some were present telling him about the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

riversident@Luke:13:2 @ He answered them,

riversident@Luke:13:10 @ He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.

riversident@Luke:13:11 @ And a woman was there who had had a spirit of weakness eighteen years, and was bent together and could not stand up straight.

riversident@Luke:13:14 @ But the synagogue Director, angry because Jesus was healing on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days in which work should be done. On those days come and be healed, but not on the Sabbath day."

riversident@Luke:13:15 @ The Master answered him,

riversident@Luke:13:17 @ As he said this, all his opposers were ashamed, and all the crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things that he did.

riversident@Luke:13:22 @ He was journeying through the cities and villages teaching and making his way toward Jerusalem.

riversident@Luke:13:23 @ A man said to him, "Master, are there few that are saved?" He said to them,

riversident@Luke:13:31 @ At that time there came to him some Pharisees, saying, "Go out and leave this place, for Herod purposes to kill you."

riversident@Luke:13:32 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:14:1 @ ONCE, 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.

riversident@Luke:14:2 @ And there before him was a man who had dropsy.

riversident@Luke:14:3 @ Jesus said to the lawyers and Pharisees,

riversident@Luke:14:4 @ They kept quiet. Then taking hold of him he cured him and dismissed him.

riversident@Luke:14:5 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:14:6 @ They could not say anything in answer to this.

riversident@Luke:14:7 @ Observing how the guests were choosing the best couches, he gave them an illustration:

riversident@Luke:14:12 @ He said, too, to the man who had invited him,

riversident@Luke:14:15 @ On hearing this, one of his fellow guests said to him, "Blessed will he be who eats bread in the kingdom of God!"

riversident@Luke:14:25 @ Great crowds were traveling along with him, and he turned and said to them,

riversident@Luke:15:1 @ ALL the tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to him in order to hear him.

riversident@Luke:15:2 @ The Pharisees and the scribes grumbled to one another, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."

riversident@Luke:15:3 @ He gave them this illustration:

riversident@Luke:15:11 @ He said further,

riversident@Luke:16:14 @ The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all this and they were sneering at him.

riversident@Luke:16:15 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:17:5 @ The apostles said to the Master, "Increase our faith."

riversident@Luke:17:6 @ The Master said,

riversident@Luke:17:12 @ As he was approaching a certain village, ten leprous men met him. They stood at a distance,

riversident@Luke:17:13 @ and, raising their voices, called, "Jesus, Master, have compassion on us."

riversident@Luke:17:14 @ When Jesus saw them, he said, While they were going, they became clean.

riversident@Luke:17:15 @ One of them, seeing that he had been cured, turned back with a loud shout giving glory to God,

riversident@Luke:17:16 @ and he fell on his face at the feet of Jesus, thanking him. He was a Samaritan.

riversident@Luke:17:20 @ On being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, Jesus answered them,

riversident@Luke:17:22 @ He said to the disciples,

riversident@Luke:17:37 @ They said to him, "Where, Master?" He said to them,

riversident@Luke:18:1 @ HE gave them an illustration that they ought always to pray and not to lose courage.

riversident@Luke:18:6 @ The Master said,

riversident@Luke:18:9 @ He gave also this illustration to some who trusted in themselves as being righteous and despised others:

riversident@Luke:18:15 @ They were bringing to him babes for him to touch. The disciples on seeing this rebuked them.

riversident@Luke:18:16 @ But Jesus called the children to him, saying,

riversident@Luke:18:18 @ One of the rulers asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit life eternal?"

riversident@Luke:18:21 @ He said, "All these I have kept from my boyhood up."

riversident@Luke:18:26 @ Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"

riversident@Luke:18:29 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:18:31 @ Taking the twelve aside, he said to them,

riversident@Luke:18:34 @ But they understood none of these things, and what he said was hidden from them. They did not grasp the meaning of his words.

riversident@Luke:18:35 @ As he approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging.

riversident@Luke:18:37 @ They told him, "Jesus, the Nazarene, is passing by."

riversident@Luke:18:38 @ Then he shouted, "Jesus, son of David, have pity on me!"

riversident@Luke:18:40 @ Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be led to him. When he had come up, Jesus asked him,

riversident@Luke:18:43 @ Immediately he received sight and followed him, giving glory to God. All the people upon seeing this gave praise to God.

riversident@Luke:19:2 @ In the city there was a man called Zacchaeus, who was chief of the tax collectors and was rich.

riversident@Luke:19:3 @ He was trying to see Jesus \'97 what he was like; but he could not on account of the crowd, for he was short in stature.

riversident@Luke:19:5 @ When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him,

riversident@Luke:19:8 @ Zacchaeus stood and said to the Master, "See, the half of my property, Sir, I give to the poor, and if I have unjustly taken anything from any one, I will give him back four-fold."

riversident@Luke:19:11 @ While they were listening to this, he added an illustration, because he was near to Jerusalem and they were thinking that the kingdom of heaven was going to appear immediately.

riversident@Luke:19:28 @ When he had said these things, he journeyed onward, going up toward Jerusalem.

riversident@Luke:19:29 @ When they approached Bethphage and Bethany at the mount called the Olive Orchard, he sent two of his disciples,

riversident@Luke:19:30 @ telling them,

riversident@Luke:19:32 @ Those who were sent went and found everything just as he had said to them.

riversident@Luke:19:33 @ While they were loosing the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you loosing the colt?"

riversident@Luke:19:34 @ They said, "The Master has need of it."

riversident@Luke:19:35 @ They led it to Jesus and threw their cloaks on the colt and mounted Jesus on it.

riversident@Luke:19:36 @ As he advanced, some spread their cloaks in the road,

riversident@Luke:19:37 @ and as he approached the descent of the Mount of Olives all the multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God in a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen,

riversident@Luke:19:38 @ saying: "Blessed be he who comes as king, in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the heights above!"

riversident@Luke:19:39 @ Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."

riversident@Luke:19:41 @ As he drew near and looked at the city, he wept over it,

riversident@Luke:19:45 @ Entering into the Temple courts he began and drove out the dealers,

riversident@Luke:19:46 @ saying to them,

riversident@Luke:19:47 @ He was teaching every day in the Temple courts. But the high priests and the scribes were bent on destroying him, and so were the first citizens.

riversident@Luke:19:48 @ But they could find no way to do it; for all the people hung upon him listening.

riversident@Luke:20:1 @ ON one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the Temple courts and proclaiming the good news, the high priests and the scribes came up with the elders

riversident@Luke:20:2 @ and said to him, "Tell us by what authority you are doing these things or who it is that gave you this authority."

riversident@Luke:20:3 @ He answered them,

riversident@Luke:20:5 @ They conferred among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

riversident@Luke:20:6 @ and if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet."

riversident@Luke:20:7 @ So they answered that they did not know where it came from.

riversident@Luke:20:8 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@Luke:20:9 @ He began and gave the people this illustration:

riversident@Luke:20:16 @ When they heard this, they exclaimed, "May it never be!"

riversident@Luke:20:17 @ He turned his eyes upon them and said,

riversident@Luke:20:19 @ The scribes and the high priests were eager to lay hands on him at that very time, for they knew that he had aimed the illustration at them; but they were afraid of the people.

riversident@Luke:20:20 @ So watching insidiously for an opportunity they sent spies, who pretended to be honest men, to seize upon anything he might say, so as to hand him over to the authorities and to the power of the Governor.

riversident@Luke:20:21 @ They asked him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly and that you do not regard personal influences, but you teach the way of God according to truth.

riversident@Luke:20:23 @ He saw through their cunning and said to them,

riversident@Luke:20:24 @ They said, "Caesar's."

riversident@Luke:20:25 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:20:26 @ They could not seize upon his words before the people, and in astonishment at his answer they were silent.

riversident@Luke:20:27 @ There came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, and asked him,

riversident@Luke:20:28 @ "Teacher, Moses wrote for us, 'If any one's married brother dies childless, that man must marry his brother's widow and raise up offspring for his brother.'

riversident@Luke:20:29 @ Well, there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died childless.

riversident@Luke:20:30 @ The second

riversident@Luke:20:31 @ and the third and the rest of the seven took her and died leaving no children.

riversident@Luke:20:32 @ Finally the woman also died.

riversident@Luke:20:33 @ Now this woman \'97 whose wife will she be at the resurrection? For she was wife to the seven."

riversident@Luke:20:34 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@Luke:20:39 @ Some of the scribes answered him, "Teacher, you have spoken well."

riversident@Luke:20:40 @ And they no longer dared to ask him anything.

riversident@Luke:20:41 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:20:45 @ While all the people were listening, he said to the disciples,

riversident@Luke:21:1 @ Looking up, he saw those who were dropping their gifts into the contribution box, the rich people.

riversident@Luke:21:5 @ As some were speaking about the Temple buildings, how they were decorated with beautiful stones and votive gifts,

riversident@Luke:21:7 @ They asked him, "Teacher, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when they are about to happen?"

riversident@Luke:21:10 @ Then he said to them,

riversident@Luke:21:29 @ He gave them an illustration:

riversident@Luke:21:37 @ During the days he continued to teach in the Temple courts, but every night he went out and stayed on the mount called Olive Orchard.

riversident@Luke:21:38 @ All the people came early every morning to him in the Temple courts to listen to him.

riversident@Luke:22:1 @ THE Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.

riversident@Luke:22:2 @ The high priests and the scribes were intent upon finding some way to destroy Jesus; for they were afraid of the people.

riversident@Luke:22:3 @ But Satan entered into Judas, called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve,

riversident@Luke:22:4 @ and he went away and talked over with the high priests and officers how he could betray him.

riversident@Luke:22:5 @ They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

riversident@Luke:22:6 @ He promised, and was on the lookout for an opportunity to betray him to them when the crowd was not with him.

riversident@Luke:22:7 @ The day of unleavened bread came, when the Passover lamb must be sacrificed,

riversident@Luke:22:8 @ and Jesus sent Peter and John, telling them,

riversident@Luke:22:9 @ They said to him, "Where do you wish us to make ready?"

riversident@Luke:22:13 @ They went away and found everything just as he had said, and they prepared the Passover.

riversident@Luke:22:14 @ When the hour came, he reclined at table and the apostles with him.

riversident@Luke:22:15 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:22:19 @ Then he took a loaf and gave thanks and broke it and gave it to them, saying,

riversident@Luke:22:20 @ He took the cup in the same manner after supper, saying,

riversident@Luke:22:23 @ They began to question among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do this.

riversident@Luke:22:24 @ There was also a dispute among them as to which of them should be regarded as superior.

riversident@Luke:22:25 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:22:35 @ He said to them, They said, "We lacked for nothing."

riversident@Luke:22:36 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:22:38 @ They said, "Master, here are two swords." He said to them,

riversident@Luke:22:39 @ He went out and made his way, according to his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.

riversident@Luke:22:40 @ When he came to the place, he said to them,

riversident@Luke:22:41 @ He parted from them about a stone's throw and kneeled down and prayed,

riversident@Luke:22:43 @ An angel from heaven appeared to him strengthening him.

riversident@Luke:22:44 @ Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood failing upon the ground.

riversident@Luke:22:45 @ Then he rose from prayer and came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow.

riversident@Luke:22:46 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:22:47 @ While he was still speaking there came a crowd, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came up to Jesus to kiss him.

riversident@Luke:22:49 @ Those about Jesus, seeing what was going to happen, said, "Master, shall we strike with the sword?"

riversident@Luke:22:50 @ One of them did strike the High Priest's servant and cut off his right ear.

riversident@Luke:22:52 @ Jesus said to the high priests and officers of the Temple and elders who had come out against him,

riversident@Luke:22:54 @ After arresting him they led him away and brought him into the house of the High Priest. Peter followed at a distance.

riversident@Luke:22:55 @ They lighted a fire in the center of the court and seated themselves around it, and Peter seated himself in the midst of them.

riversident@Luke:22:56 @ A maid saw him sitting near the light, and, looking hard at him, said, "This man was with him too."

riversident@Luke:22:58 @ After a short space another \'97 a man \'97 saw him, and said, "You too are one of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not."

riversident@Luke:22:59 @ About an hour later, another man asserted positively, "Truly this man was with him too, for he is a Galilaean."

riversident@Luke:22:60 @ But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately while he was speaking the cock crew,

riversident@Luke:22:61 @ and the Master turned and looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Master, how he had said to him,

riversident@Luke:22:63 @ The men who had arrested Jesus made sport of him, beating him,

riversident@Luke:22:64 @ and, after blindfolding him, they asked him, "Prophesy who it is that struck you."

riversident@Luke:22:65 @ Many other insulting words they said to him.

riversident@Luke:22:66 @ When daylight came, the eldership of the people assembled, both high priests and scribes, and they led him to their council, saying,

riversident@Luke:22:67 @ "If you are the Christ, tell us." He said to them,

riversident@Luke:22:70 @ They all said, "You then are the Son of God?" He said to them,

riversident@Luke:22:71 @ They said, "Why do we need any more testimony? For we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth."

riversident@Luke:23:1 @ THEN the whole assemblage arose and led him to Pilate.

riversident@Luke:23:2 @ They began accusing him, saying, "We have found this man corrupting our nation and opposing the payment of tribute to Caesar and saying that he himself is Christ a king."

riversident@Luke:23:3 @ Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus answered him,

riversident@Luke:23:4 @ Pilate said to the high priests and the crowd, "I find nothing criminal in this man."

riversident@Luke:23:5 @ But they were violent in saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching through the whole of Judaea. Starting in Galilee, he is now here."

riversident@Luke:23:6 @ Pilate, on hearing of Galilee, asked if the man was a Galilaean,

riversident@Luke:23:10 @ The high priests and the scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

riversident@Luke:23:12 @ So Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that day. Previously they had been at enmity.

riversident@Luke:23:13 @ Pilate called together the high priests and the rulers and the people

riversident@Luke:23:14 @ and said to them, "You have brought before me this man as one who misguides the people, and yet I, in examining him before you, have found in this man not one criminal thing of all that you charge against him.

riversident@Luke:23:18 @ But the whole crowd cried out together, "Put him out of the way and free Barabbas for us!"

riversident@Luke:23:20 @ Again Pilate spoke to them, wishing to release Jesus.

riversident@Luke:23:21 @ But they shouted, "Crucify him, crucify him!"

riversident@Luke:23:22 @ For the third time he said to them, "What wrong has he done? I have found nothing criminal in him. I will therefore scourge him and let him go."

riversident@Luke:23:23 @ But they insisted with loud voices asking to have him crucified, and their voices prevailed.

riversident@Luke:23:24 @ So Pilate gave sentence that what they asked should be done.

riversident@Luke:23:25 @ He freed the man who for riot and murder had been thrown into prison \'97 the man they asked for; but Jesus he handed over to their will.

riversident@Luke:23:26 @ As they led him away, they took hold of Simon, a Cyrenian coming from the country, and laid on him the cross to bear behind Jesus.

riversident@Luke:23:27 @ There followed him a great crowd of people and of women who were beating their breasts and bewailing him.

riversident@Luke:23:28 @ Jesus turned and said to them,

riversident@Luke:23:32 @ There were also two others, criminals, led with him to be put to death.

riversident@Luke:23:33 @ When they came to the place called Skull, there they crucified him and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.

riversident@Luke:23:34 @ Jesus said, They divided his clothes by casting lots.

riversident@Luke:23:35 @ The people stood looking on. The rulers scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen."

riversident@Luke:23:36 @ The soldiers made sport of him, coming up and offering him sour wine

riversident@Luke:23:37 @ and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!"

riversident@Luke:23:38 @ There was a writing over him,

riversident@Luke:23:39 @ One of the criminals who were crucified insulted him, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us."

riversident@Luke:23:40 @ But the other rebuked him and said, "Have you no fear of God, since you are under the same sentence?

riversident@Luke:23:42 @ Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."

riversident@Luke:23:44 @ It was now about noon, and darkness came over all the land until three,

riversident@Luke:23:45 @ the sun being eclipsed. And the curtain in the Temple was torn in the middle.

riversident@Luke:23:46 @ Then Jesus said in a loud voice, After saying this, he breathed his last.

riversident@Luke:23:47 @ When the Centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, "Certainly this was an upright man!"

riversident@Luke:23:48 @ And all the crowds that had stood by looking on the scene, after seeing what happened, turned away beating their breasts.

riversident@Luke:23:49 @ All his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Galilee were standing at a distance looking on.

riversident@Luke:23:50 @ There was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man

riversident@Luke:23:51 @ who had not participated in their plan and action. He was of Arimathaea, a city of the Judaeans, and was looking for the kingdom of God.

riversident@Luke:23:52 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

riversident@Luke:23:53 @ He took it down and wrapped it in fine linen and laid him in a tomb cut in the rock where no one was yet lying.

riversident@Luke:23:54 @ It was the day of Preparation and the Sabbath was about to begin.

riversident@Luke:23:55 @ The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed along and saw the tomb and how his body was laid,

riversident@Luke:23:56 @ and they went back and prepared perfumes and ointments. On the Sabbath they abstained from work according to the commandment.

riversident@Luke:24:1 @ BUT on the first day of the week at early dawn they came to the tomb, bringing the perfumes which they had prepared.

riversident@Luke:24:2 @ They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

riversident@Luke:24:3 @ and on entering they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

riversident@Luke:24:4 @ While they were at a loss about this, suddenly two men in glittering robes stood beside them.

riversident@Luke:24:5 @ They were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why are you looking for the living among the dead?

riversident@Luke:24:7 @ that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and rise on the third day."

riversident@Luke:24:8 @ Then they remembered his words

riversident@Luke:24:9 @ and turned back from the tomb and told all this to the eleven and all the rest.

riversident@Luke:24:10 @ It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them also told these things to the apostles.

riversident@Luke:24:11 @ But these reports seemed in their eyes like idle talk. They did not believe the women.

riversident@Luke:24:12 @ But Peter rose and ran to the tomb and stooping down he saw nothing but the linen cloths, and he went away to his place wondering at what had happened.

riversident@Luke:24:13 @ On that day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, seven miles distant from Jerusalem,

riversident@Luke:24:14 @ and they were talking to each other about all these occurrences.

riversident@Luke:24:15 @ It happened as they talked and discussed that Jesus himself drew near and walked along with them.

riversident@Luke:24:16 @ But their eyes were restrained from recognizing him.

riversident@Luke:24:17 @ He said to them, They stood still with sad faces.

riversident@Luke:24:18 @ One of them, named Cleopas, said to him, "Are you a stranger living alone in Jerusalem and do you not know the things that have happened there in recent days?"

riversident@Luke:24:19 @ He said to them, They said to him, "The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet powerful in deed and word before God and all the people \'97

riversident@Luke:24:21 @ But we were hoping that he was the one who was to redeem Israel. But now, however, the third day is passing since these things took place.

riversident@Luke:24:22 @ Yet some women from our company amazed us. They went at dawn to the tomb

riversident@Luke:24:23 @ and did not find his body, but came back saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive.

riversident@Luke:24:24 @ Some of our company went out to the tomb and found things as the women had said, but they did not see him."

riversident@Luke:24:25 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@Luke:24:27 @ Then, beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things about himself.

riversident@Luke:24:28 @ They drew near to the village where they were going and he acted as if he were going on.

riversident@Luke:24:29 @ But they urged him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the sun is already low." So he went in to stay with them.

riversident@Luke:24:30 @ As he reclined at table with them, he took the bread and blessed it and broke it and gave it to them.

riversident@Luke:24:31 @ And their eyes were opened and they recognized him; but he vanished from their sight.

riversident@Luke:24:32 @ They said to each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us when he was talking to us on the road and was explaining the Scriptures to us?"

riversident@Luke:24:33 @ Then, rising that very hour, they returned to Jerusalem and found the eleven and their associates assembled

riversident@Luke:24:34 @ and saying, "Really the Lord has risen and he has appeared to Simon."

riversident@Luke:24:35 @ They then narrated what had happened on the road and how they knew him by his breaking the bread.

riversident@Luke:24:36 @ While they were talking of these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them and said to them,

riversident@Luke:24:37 @ They were terrified and much alarmed, and thought that they were seeing a spirit.

riversident@Luke:24:38 @ But he said to them,

riversident@Luke:24:40 @ Saying this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

riversident@Luke:24:41 @ While they still were doubting for joy and wondering, he said to them,

riversident@Luke:24:42 @ They gave him a piece of broiled fish,

riversident@Luke:24:43 @ and he took it and ate before them.

riversident@Luke:24:44 @ He said to them,

riversident@Luke:24:45 @ Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,

riversident@Luke:24:46 @ and he said to them,

riversident@Luke:24:50 @ He led them out as far as Bethany and lifted up his hands and blessed them.

riversident@Luke:24:51 @ While he was blessing them he parted from them and was carried up into heaven.

riversident@Luke:24:52 @ They bowed down before him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

riversident@Luke:24:53 @ and were constantly in the Temple courts blessing God.

riversident@John:1:1 @ IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

riversident@John:1:2 @ He was in the beginning with God.

riversident@John:1:4 @ In him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.

riversident@John:1:5 @ And the Light shone in the darkness, but the darkness did not understand it.

riversident@John:1:6 @ There came a man, sent from God. His name was John.

riversident@John:1:7 @ He came for testimony, to testify about the Light, that all might believe through him.

riversident@John:1:8 @ He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

riversident@John:1:9 @ The true Light, which enlightens every man, was coming into the world.

riversident@John:1:10 @ He was in the world, and the world had come into being through him, yet the world did not know him.

riversident@John:1:12 @ All who received him \'97 to them he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name,

riversident@John:1:13 @ who were born not of blood nor of the will of flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

riversident@John:1:14 @ The Word became flesh and tented among us, and we looked upon his glory, glory as of an only son from a father, full of grace and truth.

riversident@John:1:17 @ For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

riversident@John:1:18 @ No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has interpreted him.

riversident@John:1:19 @ This is the testimony of John when the Jews of Jerusalem sent to him priests and Levites to ask him, "Who are you?"

riversident@John:1:20 @ He confessed and did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ."

riversident@John:1:21 @ They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" He answered, "No."

riversident@John:1:22 @ They said then, "Who are you? Let us have an answer to give to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

riversident@John:1:23 @ He said, "I am 'the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."

riversident@John:1:24 @ The men had been sent from the Pharisees.

riversident@John:1:25 @ They asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet?"

riversident@John:1:26 @ John answered them, "I baptize with water. In the midst of you stands one whom you do not know \'97

riversident@John:1:27 @ the One who is coming after me \'97 for whom I am not worthy to loosen the strap of his sandal."

riversident@John:1:28 @ This happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

riversident@John:1:29 @ The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

riversident@John:1:32 @ John bore witness, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and it remained on him.

riversident@John:1:33 @ I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water \'97 he said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining, that is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

riversident@John:1:34 @ And I saw it and have borne witness that this is the Son of God."

riversident@John:1:35 @ Again on the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,

riversident@John:1:36 @ and, looking at Jesus as he walked, he said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

riversident@John:1:37 @ The two disciples heard him say this and they followed Jesus.

riversident@John:1:38 @ Jesus turned and looked at them as they followed, and said to them, They said to him, "Rabbi (note:)which means, when translated, Teacher(:note), where are you staying?"

riversident@John:1:39 @ He said to them, So they came and saw where he was staying, and stayed with him that day. It was then about four in the afternoon.

riversident@John:1:40 @ Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two that heard about Jesus from John and followed him.

riversident@John:1:41 @ He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah (note:)which means, when translated, the Christ(:note)!"

riversident@John:1:43 @ On the next day Jesus decided to go away to Galilee, and he found Philip and said to him,

riversident@John:1:44 @ Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

riversident@John:1:45 @ Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the Law and of whom the prophets wrote \'97 Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth."

riversident@John:1:46 @ Nathanael said to him, "From Nazareth can there be anything good?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

riversident@John:1:49 @ Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel!"

riversident@John:2:1 @ ON the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

riversident@John:2:2 @ Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.

riversident@John:2:3 @ When the wine ran short, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no wine."

riversident@John:2:5 @ His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he tells you, do it."

riversident@John:2:6 @ There were standing there six stone water jars in accordance with the Jewish custom of purification, holding about twenty or thirty gallons apiece.

riversident@John:2:7 @ Jesus said to them, They filled them to the brim.

riversident@John:2:8 @ Then he said to them, They carried it,

riversident@John:2:9 @ and when the Master of the feast tasted the water that had become wine, not knowing where it came from \'97 though the servants who had dipped out the water knew \'97 he called to the bridegroom

riversident@John:2:10 @ and said to him, "Every man sets on first the fine wine, and when they have drunk freely he sets on the poorer. You have kept the fine wine till now."

riversident@John:2:12 @ After this Jesus went down to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and there they stayed a few days.

riversident@John:2:13 @ The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

riversident@John:2:14 @ Finding in the Temple courts the sellers of cattle and sheep and doves and the money-changers sitting there,

riversident@John:2:15 @ he made a whip of cords and drove them all from the courts \'97 all the sheep and the cattle, \'97 and he poured out the small coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.

riversident@John:2:18 @ The Jews said to him, "What sign do you show us, since you act in this way?"

riversident@John:2:19 @ Jesus answered them,

riversident@John:2:20 @ The Jews said, "It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and will you raise it in three days?"

riversident@John:2:21 @ But he was speaking of the temple of his body.

riversident@John:2:22 @ So when he arose from the dead his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

riversident@John:2:23 @ When he was in Jerusalem at the Feast of the Passover, many believed in his name, seeing his signs that he did,

riversident@John:2:24 @ but Jesus did not trust himself to them because he knew all men

riversident@John:3:1 @ THERE was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus by name, a ruler of the Jews.

riversident@John:3:2 @ This man came to Jesus one night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him."

riversident@John:3:4 @ Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter into his mother's womb a second time and be born?"

riversident@John:3:9 @ Nicodemus answered him, "How can these things be?"

riversident@John:3:22 @ After this Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judaea and there he spent some time with them and baptized.

riversident@John:3:23 @ John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was abundant water there. People were constantly coming and being baptized.

riversident@John:3:25 @ There arose a dispute between the disciples of John and a Jew about purification.

riversident@John:3:26 @ They came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the man who was with you across the Jordan to whom you bore testimony \'97 see, he is baptizing and all are coming to him."

riversident@John:3:28 @ You yourselves are witnesses that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him.'

riversident@John:3:29 @ He who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine is complete.

riversident@John:3:31 @ He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth is of the earth and he speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

riversident@John:3:34 @ He whom God has sent speaks the word of God, for he does not give him the Spirit by measure.

riversident@John:3:35 @ The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in his hand.

riversident@John:3:36 @ He who believes in the Son has life eternal. He who disbelieves in the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him.

riversident@John:4:1 @ WHEN the Master knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John \'97

riversident@John:4:5 @ He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

riversident@John:4:6 @ Jacob's well was there. Jesus, weary from his journey, sat just as he was on the well. It was about noon.

riversident@John:4:7 @ There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her,

riversident@John:4:8 @ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

riversident@John:4:9 @ The Samaritan woman said to him, "How do you, a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.

riversident@John:4:11 @ She said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where do you get the living water from?

riversident@John:4:12 @ Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank of it, himself and his sons and his flocks?"

riversident@John:4:15 @ The woman said to him, "Give me this water, so that I may not thirst nor come all the way here to draw."

riversident@John:4:17 @ The woman answered, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her,

riversident@John:4:19 @ The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

riversident@John:4:20 @ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the proper place to worship."

riversident@John:4:25 @ The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming, who is called Christ. When he comes he will tell us all things."

riversident@John:4:27 @ Upon this came his disciples, and they wondered that he was talking with a woman. But no one said, "What do you want?" or, "Why are you talking with her?"

riversident@John:4:28 @ The woman left her pitcher and went away into the city and said to the people,

riversident@John:4:29 @ "Come, see a man who has told me all that I ever did. Is not this the Christ?"

riversident@John:4:30 @ They came out of the city and were on the way to him.

riversident@John:4:31 @ In the meantime his disciples begged him, "Rabbi, eat something."

riversident@John:4:32 @ He said to them,

riversident@John:4:33 @ The disciples said to one another, "Can it be that any one has brought him something to eat?"

riversident@John:4:34 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@John:4:39 @ From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him on account of the woman's testimony, "He told me all that I ever did."

riversident@John:4:40 @ When the Samaritans came out to him, they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.

riversident@John:4:42 @ and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard him and we know that this is truly the Savior of the World."

riversident@John:4:43 @ After the two days he went from there into Galilee.

riversident@John:4:45 @ So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed him because they had seen what he did in Jerusalem at the feast. For they, too, had gone to the feast.

riversident@John:4:46 @ He came again to Cana in Galilee where he had made the water wine. A certain royal officer was there whose son was sick in Capernaum.

riversident@John:4:47 @ This man heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, and he came to him and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death,

riversident@John:4:49 @ The officer said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."

riversident@John:4:50 @ Jesus said to him, The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and went.

riversident@John:4:51 @ Even while he was going down, his servants met him with the word that his son was living.

riversident@John:4:52 @ He inquired of them the hour when he was better. They said to him, "Yesterday at one o'clock the fever left him."

riversident@John:4:53 @ So the father knew that it was at that hour at which Jesus had said to him, and he believed, himself and his whole household.

riversident@John:4:54 @ This is the second time that Jesus did a sign just after coming from Judaea to Galilee.

riversident@John:5:1 @ AFTER this there was a feast of the Jews and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

riversident@John:5:2 @ There is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool which is called in Hebrew Bethesda. Around it are five colonnades.

riversident@John:5:3 @ In these lay a multitude of invalids \'97 blind, lame, withered.

riversident@John:5:5 @ There was a man there who had had an infirmity thirty-eight years.

riversident@John:5:6 @ Jesus saw this man lying there and perceiving that he had been there a long time, he said to him,

riversident@John:5:7 @ The sick man answered him, "I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled. While I am coming, some other man gets down before me."

riversident@John:5:9 @ At once the man became well and took up his pallet and began walking. That day was the Sabbath.

riversident@John:5:10 @ The Jews said to the man who had been cured, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not proper for you to carry your pallet."

riversident@John:5:11 @ But he answered them, "He who made me well \'97 he told me,

riversident@John:5:12 @ They asked him, "Who is the man that told you,

riversident@John:5:13 @ The cured man did not know who it was. For Jesus had taken himself away, a crowd being in that place.

riversident@John:5:14 @ Afterwards Jesus found him in the Temple court and said to him,

riversident@John:5:15 @ The man went away and told the Jews that Jesus was the man who had made him well.

riversident@John:5:16 @ On this account the Jews persecuted Jesus because he did such things on the Sabbath.

riversident@John:5:17 @ He answered them,

riversident@John:5:18 @ On this account the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only kept breaking the Sabbath, but even spoke of God as his own Father, making himself equal with God.

riversident@John:5:19 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@John:6:1 @ AFTER this Jesus went away beyond the Lake of Galilee (note:)the Lake of Tiberias(:note).

riversident@John:6:2 @ A great crowd was following him because they saw the signs that he was doing upon those who had infirmities.

riversident@John:6:3 @ Jesus had gone up on the mountain and there he was sitting with his disciples.

riversident@John:6:4 @ It was near the time for the Passover, the feast of the Jews.

riversident@John:6:7 @ Philip answered him, "Two hundred shillings worth of bread would not be enough for them each to have a little piece."

riversident@John:6:8 @ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

riversident@John:6:9 @ "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes. But what are these for so many?"

riversident@John:6:10 @ Jesus said, There was much grass in the place. So the men, about five thousand in number, reclined on the ground.

riversident@John:6:11 @ Jesus took the loaves and gave thanks and divided them to those who were reclining, and in the same way the fishes, as much as they wanted.

riversident@John:6:12 @ When they were satisfied, he said to his disciples,

riversident@John:6:13 @ They gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.

riversident@John:6:14 @ Then the people, seeing the sign that he had done, said, "This is truly the prophet who was to come into the world!"

riversident@John:6:15 @ Jesus, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again up the mountain by himself alone.

riversident@John:6:16 @ When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake

riversident@John:6:17 @ and got into a boat and started across toward Capernaum. It had already grown dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

riversident@John:6:18 @ The lake was getting rough, as a strong wind was blowing.

riversident@John:6:19 @ When they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the lake and getting near the boat, and they were frightened.

riversident@John:6:20 @ But he said to them,

riversident@John:6:21 @ Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and at once the boat came to the land they were making for.

riversident@John:6:22 @ On the next day the crowd that was standing on the other side of the lake saw that there had been no boat there but the one, and that Jesus had not got into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away by themselves

riversident@John:6:24 @ when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there nor his disciples either, they got into those boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

riversident@John:6:25 @ When they found him across the lake, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"

riversident@John:6:26 @ Jesus answered them,

riversident@John:6:28 @ They said to him, "What are we to do to work the works of God?"

riversident@John:6:29 @ Jesus answered them,

riversident@John:6:30 @ They said to him, "What sign are you doing for us to see and believe in you? What are you working?

riversident@John:6:31 @ Our fathers ate the manna in the desert as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.' "

riversident@John:6:32 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@John:6:34 @ They said to him, "Sir, always give us this bread."

riversident@John:6:35 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@John:6:41 @ The Jews were muttering to each other about him because he said,

riversident@John:6:42 @ and they were saying, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he say now,

riversident@John:6:43 @ Jesus answered them,

riversident@John:6:52 @ The Jews disputed angrily with one another, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

riversident@John:6:53 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@John:6:59 @ These things he said while teaching in a synagogue in Capernaum.

riversident@John:6:61 @ Jesus, knowing in his own mind that his disciples were muttering about this, said to them,

riversident@John:6:64 @ For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him.

riversident@John:6:66 @ After that many of the disciples drew back from him and no longer went about with him.

riversident@John:6:67 @ Jesus said to the twelve,

riversident@John:6:68 @ Simon Peter answered him, "Sir, to whom shall we go? You have the words of life eternal,

riversident@John:6:69 @ and we are persuaded and know that you are the Holy One of God."

riversident@John:6:70 @ Jesus answered them,

riversident@John:6:71 @ He was speaking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For he was going to betray him, though he was one of the twelve.

riversident@John:7:1 @ AFTER this Jesus went about in Galilee; for he would not go about in Judaea because the Jews were trying to kill him.

riversident@John:7:2 @ The Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.

riversident@John:7:3 @ His brothers said to him, "Leave this region and go into Judaea so that your disciples may see the works that you are doing.

riversident@John:7:4 @ For no one does anything in secret while desiring to be known publicly. If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world."

riversident@John:7:5 @ For neither did his brothers believe in him.

riversident@John:7:6 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@John:7:9 @ After saying this to them he stayed in Galilee.

riversident@John:7:10 @ After his brothers had gone up to the feast, Jesus himself went up, not openly, but somewhat privately.

riversident@John:7:11 @ The Jews were looking for him at the feast and were saying, "Where is that man?"

riversident@John:7:12 @ A low murmur of debate about him ran through the crowds. Some were saying, "He is good." Others were saying, "No, he misleads the crowd."

riversident@John:7:13 @ Nobody, however, was talking openly about him for fear of the Jews.

riversident@John:7:14 @ About the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the Temple courts and began teaching.

riversident@John:7:15 @ The Jews were astonished and said, "How does this man know books when he has never been educated?"

riversident@John:7:20 @ The crowd answered, "You have a demon. Who is trying to kill you?"

riversident@John:7:21 @ Jesus answered them,

riversident@John:7:25 @ Some of the Jerusalem people were saying, "Is not this the man they are trying to kill?

riversident@John:7:26 @ See, he is talking freely and they say nothing to him. It cannot be that the rulers know for truth that this is the Christ?

riversident@John:7:27 @ But we know where this man comes from. The Christ, when he comes \'97 no one will know where he comes from."

riversident@John:7:28 @ Jesus, while teaching in the Temple courts, cried out loudly,

riversident@John:7:30 @ They tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, for his hour had not yet come.

riversident@John:7:31 @ From the crowd many believed in him and said, "The Christ, when he comes, will not do more signs than this man does, will he?"

riversident@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the murmur of debate about him in the crowd, and the high priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

riversident@John:7:35 @ The Jews said to one another, "Where is this man going that we shall not find him? Will he go to the Jews who are scattered among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

riversident@John:7:37 @ On the last day, the great day, of the feast Jesus stood and cried out,

riversident@John:7:39 @ This he said referring to the Spirit which those who had believed in him were soon to receive. For as yet there was no Spirit, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

riversident@John:7:40 @ Some from the crowd, on hearing these words, said, "This man is truly the prophet."

riversident@John:7:41 @ Others said, "This is the Christ." Others said, "The Christ is not coming out of Galilee, is he?

riversident@John:7:42 @ Does not the Scripture say that the Christ comes of the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

riversident@John:7:43 @ A division arose in the crowd over him.

riversident@John:7:44 @ Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.

riversident@John:7:45 @ The officers came to the high priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"

riversident@John:7:46 @ The officers answered, "Never any man spoke as this man speaks."

riversident@John:7:47 @ The Pharisees answered them, "Have you also been deluded?

riversident@John:7:48 @ Can it be that any one of the rulers or Pharisees has believed in him?

riversident@John:7:49 @ But this crowd who do not know the Law are cursed."

riversident@John:7:50 @ Nicodemus said to them \'97 he who came to Jesus before \'97 being himself one of them,

riversident@John:7:52 @ They answered him, "Can it be that you too are from Galilee? Examine and see that from Galilee no prophet arises."

riversident@John:7:53 @ [They went each to his home,

riversident@John:8:1 @ but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

riversident@John:8:2 @ EARLY in the morning he came again to the Temple courts and all the people came to him and he sat down and taught them.

riversident@John:8:3 @ The scribes and the Pharisees led in a woman taken in adultery and making her stand in the midst,

riversident@John:8:4 @ they said to him, "Teacher, this woman was taken in the very act of adultery.

riversident@John:8:5 @ In the Law Moses commanded to stone such. What do you say?"

riversident@John:8:6 @ This they said, testing him, to have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped over and wrote with his finger on the ground.

riversident@John:8:7 @ As they kept on questioning him, he lifted himself up and said to them,

riversident@John:8:8 @ and again he stooped over and went on writing on the ground.

riversident@John:8:9 @ After hearing that, they passed out one by one, beginning with the older men, and he was left alone and the woman there in the center.

riversident@John:8:12 @ Again Jesus spoke to them, saying,

riversident@John:8:13 @ The Pharisees said to him, "You are bearing witness to yourself; your witness is not true."

riversident@John:8:14 @ Jesus answered them,

riversident@John:8:19 @ They said to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered,

riversident@John:8:20 @ These words he spoke in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple courts, and no one arrested him because his hour had not yet come.

riversident@John:8:21 @ He said again to them,

riversident@John:8:22 @ The Jews said, "Will he kill himself, and so says,

riversident@John:8:23 @ He said to them,

riversident@John:8:25 @ They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them,

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

riversident@John:8:30 @ While he was speaking these things, many believed in him.

riversident@John:8:31 @ Jesus said to the Jews that had believed him,

riversident@John:8:33 @ They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have never been in slavery to any man. How do you say,

riversident@John:8:34 @ Jesus answered them,

riversident@John:8:39 @ They answered him, "Abraham is our father." He said to them,

riversident@John:8:41 @ They said to him, "We were not born of unchastity. We have one father \'97 God."

riversident@John:8:42 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@John:8:48 @ The Jews answered him, "Do we not say correctly that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

riversident@John:8:52 @ The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died and the prophets died, and you say,

riversident@John:8:53 @ Are you greater than our father Abraham? And yet he died and the prophets died. Whom do you make yourself out to be?"

riversident@John:8:57 @ The Jews said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?

riversident@John:8:58 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@John:8:59 @ They took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus concealed himself and left the Temple courts.

riversident@John:9:6 @ After saying this, he spit on the ground and made clay with the spittle and put the clay on the man's eyes

riversident@John:9:8 @ His neighbors and those accustomed to see him before, when he was begging, said, "Is not this the man that sat and begged?"

riversident@John:9:9 @ Some said, "This is he." Others said, "No, but he is like him." He said, "I am the man."

riversident@John:9:10 @ They said to him, "How then were your eyes opened?"

riversident@John:9:11 @ He replied, "The man called Jesus made clay and spread it on my eyes and said to me, I went and washed and received my sight."

riversident@John:9:12 @ They said to him, "Where is that man?" He said, "I do not know."

riversident@John:9:13 @ They brought him to the Pharisees \'97 the man once blind.

riversident@John:9:14 @ It was on the Sabbath day that Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

riversident@John:9:15 @ The Pharisees in their turn asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes and I washed and I saw."

riversident@John:9:16 @ Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man, if he is a sinner, do such signs?" So there was a division among them.

riversident@John:9:17 @ They said again to the blind man, "What do you say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

riversident@John:9:18 @ The Jews did not believe the story that he was blind and recovered his sight, until they had called the parents of the man who had recovered his sight

riversident@John:9:19 @ and had asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how can he see now?"

riversident@John:9:22 @ His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed Jesus as the Christ, he should be cast out of the synagogue.

riversident@John:9:24 @ They called a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."

riversident@John:9:25 @ The man answered, "Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I know, I was blind and now I see."

riversident@John:9:26 @ They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"

riversident@John:9:27 @ He answered them, "I have told you already and you did not listen, why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples?"

riversident@John:9:28 @ They flouted him and said, "You are that man's disciple; we are Moses' disciples.

riversident@John:9:30 @ The man answered them, "There is something wonderful in this. You do not know where he comes from, yet he has opened my eyes!

riversident@John:9:32 @ Since the world began it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

riversident@John:9:34 @ They answered him, "You were born in sin \'97 wholly; and are you teaching us?" and they cast him out.

riversident@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and found him and said,

riversident@John:9:36 @ The man answered, "Who is he, Sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him."

riversident@John:9:40 @ Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, "Are we blind also?"

riversident@John:9:41 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@John:10:6 @ This illustration Jesus gave to them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

riversident@John:10:19 @ There was again a division among the Jews, on account of these words.

riversident@John:10:20 @ Many of them said, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to him?"

riversident@John:10:21 @ Others said, "These words are not those of a demoniac. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"

riversident@John:10:22 @ Then came the Feast of Renovation in Jerusalem. It was winter.

riversident@John:10:23 @ Jesus was walking in the Temple courts, in Solomon's Colonnade.

riversident@John:10:24 @ The Jews came in a circle around him and said to him, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us frankly."

riversident@John:10:25 @ Jesus answered them,

riversident@John:10:31 @ Again the Jews took up stones to stone him.

riversident@John:10:32 @ Jesus answered them,

riversident@John:10:33 @ The Jews answered him, "For a good work we are not stoning you, but for profane words, because you, a man, are making yourself God."

riversident@John:10:34 @ Jesus answered them,

riversident@John:10:39 @ Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped from their hands

riversident@John:10:40 @ and went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was at first when he was baptizing, and he stayed there.

riversident@John:10:41 @ Many came to him and they said, "John did no sign; but all that John said about this man was true."

riversident@John:10:42 @ Many believed in him there.

riversident@John:11:1 @ THERE was a certain man sick \'97 Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.

riversident@John:11:2 @ It was that Mary who anointed the Master with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair whose brother Lazarus was sick.

riversident@John:11:3 @ So the sisters sent to Jesus, saying, "Master, he whom you love is sick."

riversident@John:11:7 @ Then, after that, he said to the disciples,

riversident@John:11:8 @ The disciples said to him, "Rabbi, just now the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"

riversident@John:11:11 @ He said this, and then he said to them,

riversident@John:11:12 @ The disciples said to him, "Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."

riversident@John:11:13 @ But Jesus had spoken of his death. They thought that he was speaking of the repose of sleep.

riversident@John:11:14 @ Then Jesus said to them frankly,

riversident@John:11:16 @ Thomas, who is called Didymus (note:)the Twin(:note), said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too to die with him."

riversident@John:11:17 @ When Jesus came he found that Lazarus had been already four days in the tomb.

riversident@John:11:19 @ and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them regarding their brother.

riversident@John:11:20 @ When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him. Mary was sitting in the house.

riversident@John:11:21 @ Martha said to Jesus, "Master, if you had been here my brother would not have died.

riversident@John:11:24 @ Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise at the resurrection on the last day."

riversident@John:11:27 @ She said to him, "Yes, Master. I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

riversident@John:11:28 @ Having said this, she went away and called Mary her sister, saying to her privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you."

riversident@John:11:30 @ Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.

riversident@John:11:31 @ The Jews who were with Mary in the house trying to comfort her, seeing her rise quickly and go out, followed thinking that she was going to the tomb to wail there.

riversident@John:11:32 @ When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master, if you had been here my brother would not have died."

riversident@John:11:33 @ When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her weeping, he was indignant in spirit and disturbed,

riversident@John:11:34 @ and said, They said to him, "Master, come and see."

riversident@John:11:36 @ The Jews said, "See, how he loved him!"

riversident@John:11:37 @ Some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have prevented this man from dying?"

riversident@John:11:38 @ Jesus, again indignant, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying on the entrance.

riversident@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Master, he is already offensive, for he has been dead four days."

riversident@John:11:41 @ So they took away the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said,

riversident@John:11:44 @ Forth came the dead man, swathed feet and hands in grave-clothes and his face bound up in a handkerchief. Jesus said,

riversident@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen what Jesus did believed in him.

riversident@John:11:46 @ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

riversident@John:11:47 @ So the high priests and the Pharisees assembled the Council and said, "What are we doing? for this man is doing many signs.

riversident@John:11:48 @ If we let him alone in this way, all will believe in him and the Romans will come and destroy our place and nation."

riversident@John:11:49 @ One of them, Caiaphas, who was High Priest that year, said to them, "You do not know anything

riversident@John:11:50 @ nor do you reason that it is better for you that one man should die for the people and so the whole nation escape destruction."

riversident@John:11:51 @ He did not say this of himself, but being High Priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

riversident@John:11:52 @ and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the children of God now scattered far and wide.

riversident@John:11:53 @ From that day they plotted to kill him.

riversident@John:11:54 @ So Jesus no more walked about openly among the Jews, but went away from there into the country near the wild lands, to a city called Ephraim, and there he stayed with his disciples.

riversident@John:11:55 @ The Passover of the Jews was near and many went up to Jerusalem from the country before the Passover to purify themselves.

riversident@John:11:56 @ They were looking for Jesus and were saying to one another, as they stood in the Temple courts, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?"

riversident@John:11:57 @ The high priests and the Pharisees had given orders that, if any one knew where he was, he should report it so that they might arrest him.

riversident@John:12:1 @ SIX days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom he had raised from the dead.

riversident@John:12:2 @ There they made a dinner for him. Martha waited on them, and Lazarus was one of those who reclined at table with him.

riversident@John:12:3 @ Mary took a pound of pure nard perfume, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

riversident@John:12:4 @ Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, the one who was going to betray him, said,

riversident@John:12:5 @ "Why was not this perfume sold for three hundred shillings and the money given to the poor?"

riversident@John:12:6 @ He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and having the purse used to pilfer what was put into it.

riversident@John:12:9 @ A great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not on account of Jesus alone, but also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.

riversident@John:12:10 @ The high priests planned to kill Lazarus too,

riversident@John:12:11 @ because many of the Jews on account of him went and believed in Jesus.

riversident@John:12:12 @ On the next day the great crowd which had come to the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

riversident@John:12:13 @ took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, "God save him! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord \'97 the King of Israel!"

riversident@John:12:15 @ "Fear not, daughter of Zion! Behold, your King comes, sitting on the foal of an ass!"

riversident@John:12:16 @ These things his disciples did not understand at first, but when Jesus had been glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written of him and had been done to him.

riversident@John:12:17 @ The people that were with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead were bearing witness to it.

riversident@John:12:18 @ For this reason the crowd went to meet him, because they had heard that he had done this sign.

riversident@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees said among themselves, "You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone off after him."

riversident@John:12:20 @ There were some Greeks among those who had come up to worship at the feast.

riversident@John:12:21 @ These came to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

riversident@John:12:22 @ Philip came and told Andrew. Andrew came with Philip and they told Jesus.

riversident@John:12:23 @ Jesus answered them,

riversident@John:12:28 @ There came a voice from heaven, "I have glorified it and will again glorify it."

riversident@John:12:29 @ The crowd that was standing there and heard said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel spoke to him."

riversident@John:12:34 @ The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

riversident@John:12:35 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@John:12:37 @ But, though he had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in him,

riversident@John:12:38 @ so that the word of Isaiah the prophet should be fulfilled. Isaiah said, "Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

riversident@John:12:39 @ For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah said again,

riversident@John:12:40 @ "He has blinded their eyes and dulled their mind so that they may not see with their eyes nor understand with their mind and repent so that I should heal them."

riversident@John:12:42 @ Nevertheless, even of the rulers many did believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, in order not to be expelled from the synagogue;

riversident@John:12:43 @ for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

riversident@John:13:1 @ BEFORE the Feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that the hour had come for him to pass from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world loved them to the end.

riversident@John:13:2 @ During supper, the Devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,

riversident@John:13:3 @ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands and that he had come from God and was going to God,

riversident@John:13:5 @ Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel he had around him.

riversident@John:13:11 @ For he knew the one who was going to betray him. For this reason he said,

riversident@John:13:12 @ When he had washed their feet and had taken his upper garments and lain down again, he said to them,

riversident@John:13:21 @ After saying these things Jesus was disturbed in spirit and solemnly said to them,

riversident@John:13:22 @ The disciples looked at one another wondering whom he meant.

riversident@John:13:23 @ One of his disciples was leaning on Jesus' breast \'97 the one Jesus loved.

riversident@John:13:25 @ He, leaning back on the breast of Jesus, said to him, "Master, who is it?"

riversident@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered, When he had dipped the bread, he took it and gave it to Judas the son of Simon Iscariot.

riversident@John:13:27 @ After the piece of bread Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him,

riversident@John:13:28 @ No one of those reclining at the table understood why he said this to him.

riversident@John:13:29 @ Some thought, since Judas had the purse, that Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the feast," or to give something to the poor.

riversident@John:13:30 @ After taking the morsel Judas immediately went out. It was night.

riversident@John:14:5 @ Thomas said to him, "Master, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?"

riversident@John:14:8 @ Philip said to him, "Master, show us the Father and we shall be satisfied."

riversident@John:14:22 @ Judas (note:)not Iscariot(:note) said to him, "Master, what has happened that you are going to show yourself to us and not to the world?"

riversident@John:16:17 @ Some of his disciples said to one another, "What is this that he says, and,

riversident@John:16:18 @ So they said, "What is this that he says, We do not know what he means."

riversident@John:16:19 @ Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them,

riversident@John:16:31 @ Jesus answered them,

riversident@John:17:1 @ THESE words spoke Jesus, and lifted his eyes to heaven and said,

riversident@John:18:1 @ WHEN Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron to a place where there was a garden. Into this he entered with his disciples.

riversident@John:18:2 @ Judas who was betraying him knew the place, for Jesus often met with his disciples there.

riversident@John:18:3 @ So Judas, getting a battalion of soldiers and some subordinate officers of the high priests and the Pharisees, came there with torches and lamps and weapons.

riversident@John:18:4 @ Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, came forward and said to them,

riversident@John:18:5 @ They answered him, "Jesus the Nazarene." He said to them, Judas the traitor was standing with them.

riversident@John:18:6 @ When he said to them, they moved backward and fell to the ground.

riversident@John:18:7 @ Again he questioned them, They said, "Jesus the Nazarene."

riversident@John:18:9 @ He said this that the word might be fulfilled which he had spoken,

riversident@John:18:10 @ Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck a servant of the High Priest, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

riversident@John:18:12 @ So the battalion and the Tribune and the Jewish policemen arrested Jesus and bound him

riversident@John:18:13 @ and took him first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.

riversident@John:18:14 @ Caiaphas was the man who had advised the Jews that it was best that one man should die for the people.

riversident@John:18:15 @ Simon Peter was following Jesus and so was another disciple. That disciple was known to the High Priest and he went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest.

riversident@John:18:16 @ Peter stood by the gate outside. The other disciple, who was known to the High Priest, went out and spoke to the girl at the door and brought in Peter.

riversident@John:18:17 @ The girl at the door said to Peter, "You are not one of this man's disciples, too, are you?" He said, "I am not."

riversident@John:18:18 @ The servants and policemen were standing there. They had made a fire, for it was cold, and were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.

riversident@John:18:19 @ The High Priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

riversident@John:18:22 @ When he said this, a policeman, who was standing by, gave Jesus a slap, saying, "Do you answer the High Priest that way?"

riversident@John:18:24 @ Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the High Priest.

riversident@John:18:25 @ Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, "Are not you also one of his disciples?" He denied it and said, "I am not."

riversident@John:18:26 @ One of the servants of the High Priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"

riversident@John:18:28 @ They led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Castle. It was early morning. The Jews did not enter the Castle, wishing to avoid defilement, so that they might eat the Passover.

riversident@John:18:29 @ Pilate went out to them and said, "What charge do you bring against this man?"

riversident@John:18:30 @ They answered, "If he were not an evil-doer, we should not have handed him over to you."

riversident@John:18:31 @ Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put any one to death."

riversident@John:18:32 @ They said this that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled \'97 the word he had spoken indicating by what death he was to die.

riversident@John:18:33 @ Pilate entered the Castle again and called Jesus and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

riversident@John:18:35 @ Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your nation and the high priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?"

riversident@John:18:37 @ Pilate said to him, "Are you not a king then?" Jesus answered,

riversident@John:18:38 @ Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" After saying this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, "I find no crime in him.

riversident@John:18:39 @ But you have a custom that I should release for you one at the Passover. Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"

riversident@John:18:40 @ They shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Barabbas was a robber.

riversident@John:19:1 @ THEN Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.

riversident@John:19:2 @ The soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and placed it on his head, threw around him a purple cloak,

riversident@John:19:3 @ and kept coming up to him and saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and slapping him.

riversident@John:19:4 @ Pilate went out again and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no crime in him."

riversident@John:19:5 @ Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple cloak. Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!"

riversident@John:19:6 @ When the high priests and their subordinates saw him, they shouted, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said, "You take him and crucify him. For I find no crime in him."

riversident@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered, "We have a law and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."

riversident@John:19:9 @ and went into the Castle and said to Jesus, "Where do you come from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.

riversident@John:19:12 @ After this, Pilate kept trying to release him, but the Jews shouted, "If you let this man go you are not a friend of Caesar. Every one who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

riversident@John:19:13 @ Pilate, on hearing these words, brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge's seat in the place called the Mosaic Pavement \'97 in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

riversident@John:19:14 @ It was the Preparation Day of the Passover, about noon. He said to the Jews, "See your king!"

riversident@John:19:15 @ They shouted, "Away with him, away with him! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your king?" The high priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."

riversident@John:19:16 @ Then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus

riversident@John:19:18 @ where they crucified him. And with him they crucified two others, one on this side and one on that, and Jesus between them.

riversident@John:19:19 @ Pilate wrote a sign and put it up on the cross. It was written:

riversident@John:19:20 @ Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

riversident@John:19:21 @ The high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'This man said, I am King of the Jews.' "

riversident@John:19:23 @ The soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes and made four parts, a part to each soldier, and there was his tunic besides. The tunic was seamless, woven from the top entire.

riversident@John:19:24 @ They said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots who shall have it." This was so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "They parted my garments among them and on my clothing they cast lots." The soldiers did this.

riversident@John:19:25 @ There were standing beside the cross of Jesus his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

riversident@John:19:26 @ When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother,

riversident@John:19:27 @ Then he said to the disciple, From that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

riversident@John:19:28 @ After this, Jesus knowing that now all things had been completed, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled said,

riversident@John:19:29 @ A pitcher was standing there full of sour wine. Putting a sponge full of sour wine on a hyssop stem, they raised it to his mouth.

riversident@John:19:30 @ When Jesus had taken the sour wine, he said, and bowing his head gave up his spirit.

riversident@John:19:31 @ The Jews, because it was Preparation Day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the Sabbath, for that Sabbath was a great day, requested Pilate to have their legs broken to kill them.

riversident@John:19:32 @ So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was crucified with him.

riversident@John:19:33 @ But, coming to Jesus, when they saw him already dead, they did not break his legs.

riversident@John:19:34 @ But one of the soldiers with his spear pierced his side and immediately there came forth blood and water.

riversident@John:19:35 @ He who saw it has borne witness and his witness is true, and he knows that he speaks the truth in order that you may believe.

riversident@John:19:36 @ For this happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him shall not be broken."

riversident@John:19:37 @ And again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they have pierced."

riversident@John:19:38 @ After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate permission to carry away the body of Jesus, and Pilate granted it. So he came and carried his body away.

riversident@John:19:39 @ Nicodemus, the man who came to him at first by night, came also bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.

riversident@John:19:40 @ They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the custom of the Jews in preparing for burial.

riversident@John:19:41 @ There was in the place where he had been crucified a garden and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had been laid.

riversident@John:19:42 @ There, on account of the Preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.

riversident@John:20:1 @ ON the first day of the week, early in the morning while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been taken from the tomb.

riversident@John:20:2 @ She ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Master from the tomb and we do not know where they have laid him."

riversident@John:20:3 @ Simon Peter and the other disciple went out and made their way to the tomb.

riversident@John:20:4 @ They were both running, and the other disciple outran Peter and came first to the tomb,

riversident@John:20:5 @ and stooping he saw the linen cloths lying; but he did not enter.

riversident@John:20:6 @ Simon Peter came following him and entered the tomb and looked at the linen cloths lying

riversident@John:20:7 @ and the handkerchief that had been about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place apart.

riversident@John:20:8 @ Then the other disciple who had come first to the tomb entered, and he saw and believed.

riversident@John:20:9 @ For they did not yet know the Scripture that he must rise from the dead.

riversident@John:20:10 @ Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.

riversident@John:20:11 @ Mary was standing by the tomb outside weeping. As she wept she stooped and looked into the tomb

riversident@John:20:12 @ and saw two angels in white sitting one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had lain.

riversident@John:20:13 @ They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have carried away my Master and I do not know where they have laid him."

riversident@John:20:15 @ Jesus said to her, She, thinking that he was the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have removed him, tell me where you have laid him and I will take him away."

riversident@John:20:18 @ Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples, "I have seen the Master," and she told that he had said these things to her.

riversident@John:20:19 @ In the evening of that day, the first day of the week, when the doors had been closed where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said to them,

riversident@John:20:20 @ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy on seeing the Master.

riversident@John:20:21 @ He said to them again,

riversident@John:20:22 @ When he had said this, he breathed on them and said,

riversident@John:20:24 @ Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus (note:)the Twin(:note), was not with them when Jesus came.

riversident@John:20:25 @ The other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Master." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it."

riversident@John:20:26 @ After eight days the disciples were again within and Thomas was with them. Jesus came and stood in the midst and said,

riversident@John:20:27 @ Then he said to Thomas,

riversident@John:20:30 @ Jesus did before the disciples many other signs which are not written in this book.

riversident@John:20:31 @ But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life through his name.

riversident@John:21:1 @ AFTER this, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the Lake of Tiberias. He showed himself in this way.

riversident@John:21:2 @ There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, called Didymus (note:)the Twin(:note), and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee and two other disciples.

riversident@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said, "We will go along with you." They went out and got into a boat, but that night they caught nothing.

riversident@John:21:4 @ When day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach. The disciples, however, did not recognize that it was Jesus.

riversident@John:21:5 @ Jesus said to them, They answered him, "No."

riversident@John:21:6 @ He said to them, They cast, and now they could not draw it in for the multitude of fishes.

riversident@John:21:7 @ That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Master!" Simon Peter, on hearing that it was the Master, girded around him his blouse, for he was naked, and threw himself into the lake.

riversident@John:21:8 @ The other disciples came in the small boat, for they were not far from land \'97 about a hundred yards \'97 dragging the netful of fish.

riversident@John:21:9 @ When they had gotten out on land, they saw a fire of coals and fish laid on it and bread.

riversident@John:21:10 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@John:21:11 @ Simon Peter got into the boat and drew the net to land full of big fishes \'97 a hundred and fifty-three \'97 and though there were so many the net was not torn.

riversident@John:21:12 @ Jesus said, No one of the disciples dared to ask him who he was, knowing that it was the Master.

riversident@John:21:13 @ Jesus came and took bread and gave to them, and fish in the same manner.

riversident@John:21:14 @ This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after rising from the dead.

riversident@John:21:15 @ When they had breakfasted, Jesus said to Simon Peter, He said to him, "Yes, Master, you know that I love you." He said to him,

riversident@John:21:17 @ He said to him the third time, Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, and he said to him, "Master, you know all things. You know that I love you." Jesus said to him,

riversident@John:21:19 @ This he said, indicating the kind of death by which he would glorify God. After saying this he said to him,

riversident@John:21:20 @ Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved, following. (note:)It was he who at the supper had leaned on Jesus' breast and said, "Lord, who is it that will betray you? "(:note)

riversident@John:21:23 @ So the report went out among the brethren that that disciple was not to die. But Jesus did not say to Peter that he would not die, but,

riversident@John:21:24 @ This is the disciple who witnesses to these things and who wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

riversident@John:21:25 @ There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these are written, every one, I do not think that the world itself will have room for the books when written.

riversident@Acts:1:1 @ IN my first book, Theophilus, I told of all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning
