rsv@Matthew:1:1 @ The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

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

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

rsv@Matthew:1:4 @ and Ram the father of Ammin'adab, and Ammin'adab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon,

rsv@Matthew:1:5 @ and Salmon the father of Bo'az by Rahab, and Bo'az the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse,

rsv@Matthew:1:6 @ and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uri'ah,

rsv@Matthew:1:7 @ and Solomon the father of Rehobo'am, and Rehobo'am the father of Abi'jah, and Abi'jah the father of Asa,

rsv@Matthew:1:8 @ and Asa the father of Jehosh'aphat, and Jehosh'aphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzzi'ah,

rsv@Matthew:1:9 @ and Uzzi'ah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezeki'ah,

rsv@Matthew:1:10 @ and Hezeki'ah the father of Manas'seh, and Manas'seh the father of Amos, and Amos the father of Josi'ah,

rsv@Matthew:1:11 @ and Josi'ah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

rsv@Matthew:1:12 @ And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoni'ah was the father of She-al'ti-el, and She-al'ti-el the father of Zerub'babel,

rsv@Matthew:1:13 @ and Zerub'babel the father of Abi'ud, and Abi'ud the father of Eli'akim, and Eli'akim the father of Azor,

rsv@Matthew:1:14 @ and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eli'ud,

rsv@Matthew:1:15 @ and Eli'ud the father of Elea'zar, and Elea'zar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob,

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

rsv@Matthew:1:17 @ So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.

rsv@Matthew:1:18 @ Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit;

rsv@Matthew:1:19 @ and her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.

rsv@Matthew:1:20 @ But as he considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit;

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

rsv@Matthew:1:22 @ All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

rsv@Matthew:1:23 @ "Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel" (which means, God with us).

rsv@Matthew:1:24 @ When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took his wife,

rsv@Matthew:1:25 @ but knew her not until she had borne a son; and he called his name Jesus.

rsv@Matthew:2:1 @ Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying,

rsv@Matthew:2:2 @ "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him."

rsv@Matthew:2:3 @ When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;

rsv@Matthew:2:4 @ and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

rsv@Matthew:2:5 @ They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it is written by the prophet:

rsv@Matthew:2:6 @ `And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will govern my people Israel.'"

rsv@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star appeared;

rsv@Matthew:2:8 @ and he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him bring me word, that I too may come and worship him."

rsv@Matthew:2:9 @ When they had heard the king they went their way; and lo, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the child was.

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

rsv@Matthew:2:11 @ and going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

rsv@Matthew:2:12 @ And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.

rsv@Matthew:2:13 @ Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there till I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him."

rsv@Matthew:2:14 @ And he rose and took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt,

rsv@Matthew:2:15 @ and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, "Out of Egypt have I called my son."

rsv@Matthew:2:16 @ Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men.

rsv@Matthew:2:17 @ Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah:

rsv@Matthew:2:18 @ "A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled, because they were no more."

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

rsv@Matthew:2:20 @ "Rise, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead."

rsv@Matthew:2:21 @ And he rose and took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.

rsv@Matthew:2:22 @ But when he heard that Archelaus reigned over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream he withdrew to the district of Galilee.

rsv@Matthew:2:23 @ And he went and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, "He shall be called a Nazarene."

rsv@Matthew:3:1 @ In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea,

rsv@Matthew:3:2 @ "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

rsv@Matthew:3:3 @ For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight."

rsv@Matthew:3:4 @ Now John wore a garment of camel's hair, and a leather girdle around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

rsv@Matthew:3:5 @ Then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan,

rsv@Matthew:3:6 @ and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

rsv@Matthew:3:7 @ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sad'ducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

rsv@Matthew:3:8 @ Bear fruit that befits repentance,

rsv@Matthew:3:9 @ and do not presume to say to yourselves, `We have Abraham as our father'; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

rsv@Matthew:3:10 @ Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

rsv@Matthew:3:11 @ "I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

rsv@Matthew:3:12 @ His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."

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

rsv@Matthew:3:14 @ John would have prevented him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"

rsv@Matthew:3:15 @ But Jesus answered him, "Let it be so now; for thus it is fitting for us to fulfil all righteousness." Then he consented.

rsv@Matthew:3:16 @ And when Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him;

rsv@Matthew:3:17 @ and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."

rsv@Matthew:4:1 @ Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

rsv@Matthew:4:2 @ And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he was hungry.

rsv@Matthew:4:3 @ And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread."

rsv@Matthew:4:4 @ But he answered, "It is written, `Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'"

rsv@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the devil took him to the holy city, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

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

rsv@Matthew:4:7 @ Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, `You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"

rsv@Matthew:4:8 @ Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;

rsv@Matthew:4:9 @ and he said to him, "All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me."

rsv@Matthew:4:10 @ Then Jesus said to him, "Begone, Satan! for it is written, `You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.'"

rsv@Matthew:4:11 @ Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.

rsv@Matthew:4:12 @ Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee;

rsv@Matthew:4:13 @ and leaving Nazareth he went and dwelt in Caper'na-um by the sea, in the territory of Zeb'ulun and Naph'tali,

rsv@Matthew:4:14 @ that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

rsv@Matthew:4:15 @ "The land of Zeb'ulun and the land of Naph'tali, toward the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles--

rsv@Matthew:4:16 @ the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned."

rsv@Matthew:4:17 @ From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

rsv@Matthew:4:18 @ As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

rsv@Matthew:4:19 @ And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

rsv@Matthew:4:20 @ Immediately they left their nets and followed him.

rsv@Matthew:4:21 @ And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zeb'edee and John his brother, in the boat with Zeb'edee their father, mending their nets, and he called them.

rsv@Matthew:4:22 @ Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him.

rsv@Matthew:4:23 @ And he went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people.

rsv@Matthew:4:24 @ So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

rsv@Matthew:4:25 @ And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decap'olis and Jerusalem and Judea and from beyond the Jordan.

rsv@Matthew:5:1 @ Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to him.

rsv@Matthew:5:2 @ And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:

rsv@Matthew:5:3 @ "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

rsv@Matthew:5:4 @ "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

rsv@Matthew:5:5 @ "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

rsv@Matthew:5:6 @ "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

rsv@Matthew:5:7 @ "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

rsv@Matthew:5:8 @ "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

rsv@Matthew:5:9 @ "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

rsv@Matthew:5:10 @ "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

rsv@Matthew:5:11 @ "Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.

rsv@Matthew:5:12 @ Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were before you.

rsv@Matthew:5:13 @ "You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trodden under foot by men.

rsv@Matthew:5:14 @ "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid.

rsv@Matthew:5:15 @ Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.

rsv@Matthew:5:16 @ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

rsv@Matthew:5:17 @ "Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them.

rsv@Matthew:5:18 @ For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished.

rsv@Matthew:5:19 @ Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

rsv@Matthew:5:20 @ For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

rsv@Matthew:5:21 @ "You have heard that it was said to the men of old, `You shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be liable to judgment.'

rsv@Matthew:5:22 @ But I say to you that every one who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother shall be liable to the council, and whoever says, `You fool!' shall be liable to the hell of fire.

rsv@Matthew:5:23 @ So if you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,

rsv@Matthew:5:24 @ leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

rsv@Matthew:5:25 @ Make friends quickly with your accuser, while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison;

rsv@Matthew:5:26 @ truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny.

rsv@Matthew:5:27 @ "You have heard that it was said, `You shall not commit adultery.'

rsv@Matthew:5:28 @ But I say to you that every one who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

rsv@Matthew:5:29 @ If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.

rsv@Matthew:5:30 @ And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.

rsv@Matthew:5:31 @ "It was also said, `Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.'

rsv@Matthew:5:32 @ But I say to you that every one who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

rsv@Matthew:5:33 @ "Again you have heard that it was said to the men of old, `You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.'

rsv@Matthew:5:34 @ But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God,

rsv@Matthew:5:35 @ or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

rsv@Matthew:5:36 @ And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.

rsv@Matthew:5:37 @ Let what you say be simply `Yes' or `No'; anything more than this comes from evil.

rsv@Matthew:5:38 @ "You have heard that it was said, `An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'

rsv@Matthew:5:39 @ But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also;

rsv@Matthew:5:40 @ and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well;

rsv@Matthew:5:41 @ and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

rsv@Matthew:5:42 @ Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you.

rsv@Matthew:5:43 @ "You have heard that it was said, `You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'

rsv@Matthew:5:44 @ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

rsv@Matthew:5:45 @ so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

rsv@Matthew:5:46 @ For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

rsv@Matthew:5:47 @ And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

rsv@Matthew:5:48 @ You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

rsv@Matthew:6:1 @ "Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

rsv@Matthew:6:2 @ "Thus, when you give alms, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

rsv@Matthew:6:3 @ But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

rsv@Matthew:6:4 @ so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

rsv@Matthew:6:5 @ "And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

rsv@Matthew:6:6 @ But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

rsv@Matthew:6:7 @ "And in praying do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their many words.

rsv@Matthew:6:8 @ Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

rsv@Matthew:6:9 @ Pray then like this: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

rsv@Matthew:6:10 @ Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.

rsv@Matthew:6:11 @ Give us this day our daily bread;

rsv@Matthew:6:12 @ And forgive us our debts, As we also have forgiven our debtors;

rsv@Matthew:6:13 @ And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil.

rsv@Matthew:6:14 @ For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you;

rsv@Matthew:6:15 @ but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

rsv@Matthew:6:16 @ "And when you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

rsv@Matthew:6:17 @ But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

rsv@Matthew:6:18 @ that your fasting may not be seen by men but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

rsv@Matthew:6:19 @ "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal,

rsv@Matthew:6:20 @ but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal.

rsv@Matthew:6:21 @ For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

rsv@Matthew:6:22 @ "The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light;

rsv@Matthew:6:23 @ but if your eye is not sound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

rsv@Matthew:6:24 @ "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

rsv@Matthew:6:25 @ "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

rsv@Matthew:6:26 @ Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

rsv@Matthew:6:27 @ And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life?

rsv@Matthew:6:28 @ And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin;

rsv@Matthew:6:29 @ yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

rsv@Matthew:6:30 @ But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O men of little faith?

rsv@Matthew:6:31 @ Therefore do not be anxious, saying, `What shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?' or `What shall we wear?'

rsv@Matthew:6:32 @ For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

rsv@Matthew:6:33 @ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well.

rsv@Matthew:6:34 @ "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day.

rsv@Matthew:7:1 @ "Judge not, that you be not judged.

rsv@Matthew:7:2 @ For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get.

rsv@Matthew:7:3 @ Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

rsv@Matthew:7:4 @ Or how can you say to your brother, `Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye?

rsv@Matthew:7:5 @ You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

rsv@Matthew:7:6 @ "Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot and turn to attack you.

rsv@Matthew:7:7 @ "Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

rsv@Matthew:7:8 @ For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

rsv@Matthew:7:9 @ Or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

rsv@Matthew:7:10 @ Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?

rsv@Matthew:7:11 @ If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

rsv@Matthew:7:12 @ So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

rsv@Matthew:7:13 @ "Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.

rsv@Matthew:7:14 @ For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

rsv@Matthew:7:15 @ "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

rsv@Matthew:7:16 @ You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?

rsv@Matthew:7:17 @ So, every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit.

rsv@Matthew:7:18 @ A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

rsv@Matthew:7:19 @ Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

rsv@Matthew:7:20 @ Thus you will know them by their fruits.

rsv@Matthew:7:21 @ "Not every one who says to me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

rsv@Matthew:7:22 @ On that day many will say to me, `Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?'

rsv@Matthew:7:23 @ And then will I declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.'

rsv@Matthew:7:24 @ "Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock;

rsv@Matthew:7:25 @ and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.

rsv@Matthew:7:26 @ And every one who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;

rsv@Matthew:7:27 @ and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell; and great was the fall of it."

rsv@Matthew:7:28 @ And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching,

rsv@Matthew:7:29 @ for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.

rsv@Matthew:8:1 @ When he came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him;

rsv@Matthew:8:2 @ and behold, a leper came to him and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, if you will, you can make me clean."

rsv@Matthew:8:3 @ And he stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, "I will; be clean." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

rsv@Matthew:8:4 @ And Jesus said to him, "See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof to the people."

rsv@Matthew:8:5 @ As he entered Caper'na-um, a centurion came forward to him, beseeching him

rsv@Matthew:8:6 @ and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, in terrible distress."

rsv@Matthew:8:7 @ And he said to him, "I will come and heal him."

rsv@Matthew:8:8 @ But the centurion answered him, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed.

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

rsv@Matthew:8:10 @ When Jesus heard him, he marveled, and said to those who followed him, "Truly, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.

rsv@Matthew:8:11 @ I tell you, many will come from east and west and sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,

rsv@Matthew:8:13 @ And to the centurion Jesus said, "Go; be it done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed at that very moment.

rsv@Matthew:8:14 @ And when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever;

rsv@Matthew:8:15 @ he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and served him.

rsv@Matthew:8:16 @ That evening they brought to him many who were possessed with demons; and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick.

rsv@Matthew:8:17 @ This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, "He took our infirmities and bore our diseases."

rsv@Matthew:8:18 @ Now when Jesus saw great crowds around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side.

rsv@Matthew:8:19 @ And a scribe came up and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

rsv@Matthew:8:20 @ And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head."

rsv@Matthew:8:21 @ Another of the disciples said to him, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."

rsv@Matthew:8:22 @ But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."

rsv@Matthew:8:23 @ And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him.

rsv@Matthew:8:24 @ And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep.

rsv@Matthew:8:25 @ And they went and woke him, saying, "Save, Lord; we are perishing."

rsv@Matthew:8:26 @ And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O men of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

rsv@Matthew:8:27 @ And the men marveled, saying, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?"

rsv@Matthew:8:28 @ And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way.

rsv@Matthew:8:29 @ And behold, they cried out, "What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"

rsv@Matthew:8:30 @ Now a herd of many swine was feeding at some distance from them.

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

rsv@Matthew:8:32 @ And he said to them, "Go." So they came out and went into the swine; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and perished in the waters.

rsv@Matthew:8:33 @ The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, and what had happened to the demoniacs.

rsv@Matthew:8:34 @ And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their neighborhood.

rsv@Matthew:9:1 @ And getting into a boat he crossed over and came to his own city.

rsv@Matthew:9:2 @ And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, lying on his bed; and when Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven."

rsv@Matthew:9:3 @ And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is blaspheming."

rsv@Matthew:9:4 @ But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts?

rsv@Matthew:9:5 @ For which is easier, to say, `Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, `Rise and walk'?

rsv@Matthew:9:6 @ But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--he then said to the paralytic--"Rise, take up your bed and go home."

rsv@Matthew:9:7 @ And he rose and went home.

rsv@Matthew:9:8 @ When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

rsv@Matthew:9:9 @ As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax office; and he said to him, "Follow me." And he rose and followed him.

rsv@Matthew:9:10 @ And as he sat at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.

rsv@Matthew:9:11 @ And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

rsv@Matthew:9:12 @ But when he heard it, he said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

rsv@Matthew:9:13 @ Go and learn what this means, `I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.' For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."

rsv@Matthew:9:14 @ Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"

rsv@Matthew:9:15 @ And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.

rsv@Matthew:9:16 @ And no one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear is made.

rsv@Matthew:9:17 @ Neither is new wine put into old wineskins; if it is, the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins are destroyed; but new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved."

rsv@Matthew:9:18 @ While he was thus speaking to them, behold, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."

rsv@Matthew:9:19 @ And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples.

rsv@Matthew:9:20 @ And behold, a woman who had suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment;

rsv@Matthew:9:21 @ for she said to herself, "If I only touch his garment, I shall be made well."

rsv@Matthew:9:22 @ Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." And instantly the woman was made well.

rsv@Matthew:9:23 @ And when Jesus came to the ruler's house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd making a tumult,

rsv@Matthew:9:24 @ he said, "Depart; for the girl is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him.

rsv@Matthew:9:25 @ But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

rsv@Matthew:9:26 @ And the report of this went through all that district.

rsv@Matthew:9:27 @ And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, "Have mercy on us, Son of David."

rsv@Matthew:9:28 @ When he entered the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to him, "Yes, Lord."

rsv@Matthew:9:29 @ Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you."

rsv@Matthew:9:30 @ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly charged them, "See that no one knows it."

rsv@Matthew:9:31 @ But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.

rsv@Matthew:9:32 @ As they were going away, behold, a dumb demoniac was brought to him.

rsv@Matthew:9:33 @ And when the demon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the crowds marveled, saying, "Never was anything like this seen in Israel."

rsv@Matthew:9:34 @ But the Pharisees said, "He casts out demons by the prince of demons."

rsv@Matthew:9:35 @ And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity.

rsv@Matthew:9:36 @ When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

rsv@Matthew:9:37 @ Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few;

rsv@Matthew:9:38 @ pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."

rsv@Matthew:10:1 @ And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity.

rsv@Matthew:10:2 @ The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zeb'edee, and John his brother;

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

rsv@Matthew:10:4 @ Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

rsv@Matthew:12:1 @ At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the sabbath; his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.

rsv@Matthew:12:6 @ I tell you, something greater than the temple is here.

rsv@Matthew:12:7 @ And if you had known what this means, `I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless.

rsv@Matthew:12:8 @ For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath."

rsv@Matthew:12:9 @ And he went on from there, and entered their synagogue.

rsv@Matthew:12:10 @ And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. And they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?" so that they might accuse him.

rsv@Matthew:12:12 @ Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the sabbath."

rsv@Matthew:12:13 @ Then he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And the man stretched it out, and it was restored, whole like the other.

rsv@Matthew:12:14 @ But the Pharisees went out and took counsel against him, how to destroy him.

rsv@Matthew:12:15 @ Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he healed them all,

rsv@Matthew:12:16 @ and ordered them not to make him known.

rsv@Matthew:12:17 @ This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:

rsv@Matthew:12:22 @ Then a blind and dumb demoniac was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the dumb man spoke and saw.

rsv@Matthew:12:23 @ And all the people were amazed, and said, "Can this be the Son of David?"

rsv@Matthew:12:24 @ But when the Pharisees heard it they said, "It is only by Be-el'zebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons."

rsv@Matthew:12:25 @ Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand;

rsv@Matthew:12:27 @ And if I cast out demons by Be-el'zebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

rsv@Matthew:13:2 @ And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat there; and the whole crowd stood on the beach.

rsv@Matthew:13:3 @ And he told them many things in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow.

rsv@Matthew:13:5 @ Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they had not much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil,

rsv@Matthew:13:6 @ but when the sun rose they were scorched; and since they had no root they withered away.

rsv@Matthew:13:7 @ Other seeds fell upon thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.

rsv@Matthew:13:8 @ Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

rsv@Matthew:13:9 @ He who has ears, let him hear."

rsv@Matthew:13:10 @ Then the disciples came and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"

rsv@Matthew:13:11 @ And he answered them, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

rsv@Matthew:13:12 @ For to him who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

rsv@Matthew:13:13 @ This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

rsv@Matthew:13:14 @ With them indeed is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which says: `You shall indeed hear but never understand, and you shall indeed see but never perceive.

rsv@Matthew:13:15 @ For this people's heart has grown dull, and their ears are heavy of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should perceive with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn for me to heal them.'

rsv@Matthew:13:16 @ But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.

rsv@Matthew:13:17 @ Truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

rsv@Matthew:13:18 @ "Hear then the parable of the sower.

rsv@Matthew:13:21 @ yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.

rsv@Matthew:13:23 @ As for what was sown on good soil, this is he who hears the word and understands it; he indeed bears fruit, and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty."

rsv@Matthew:13:24 @ Another parable he put before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field;

rsv@Matthew:13:25 @ but while men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.

rsv@Matthew:13:26 @ So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also.

rsv@Matthew:13:27 @ And the servants of the householder came and said to him, `Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then has it weeds?'

rsv@Matthew:13:29 @ But he said, `No; lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them.

rsv@Matthew:13:30 @ Let both grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.'"

rsv@Matthew:13:31 @ Another parable he put before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field;

rsv@Matthew:13:32 @ it is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches."

rsv@Matthew:13:33 @ He told them another parable. "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened."

rsv@Matthew:13:34 @ All this Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed he said nothing to them without a parable.

rsv@Matthew:13:35 @ This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world."

rsv@Matthew:13:36 @ Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field."

rsv@Matthew:13:37 @ He answered, "He who sows the good seed is the Son of man;

rsv@Matthew:13:38 @ the field is the world, and the good seed means the sons of the kingdom; the weeds are the sons of the evil one,

rsv@Matthew:13:39 @ and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels.

rsv@Matthew:13:40 @ Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age.

rsv@Matthew:13:41 @ The Son of man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers,

rsv@Matthew:13:42 @ and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.

rsv@Matthew:13:43 @ Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

rsv@Matthew:13:44 @ "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

rsv@Matthew:13:45 @ "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls,

rsv@Matthew:13:46 @ who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

rsv@Matthew:13:47 @ "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net which was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind;

rsv@Matthew:13:48 @ when it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into vessels but threw away the bad.

rsv@Matthew:13:49 @ So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous,

rsv@Matthew:13:50 @ and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.

rsv@Matthew:13:51 @ "Have you understood all this?" They said to him, "Yes."

rsv@Matthew:13:52 @ And he said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old."

rsv@Matthew:13:53 @ And when Jesus had finished these parables, he went away from there,

rsv@Matthew:13:54 @ and coming to his own country he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

rsv@Matthew:13:55 @ Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

rsv@Matthew:13:56 @ And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all this?"

rsv@Matthew:13:57 @ And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house."

rsv@Matthew:13:58 @ And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.

rsv@Matthew:14:1 @ At that time Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus;

rsv@Matthew:14:2 @ and he said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist, he has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him."

rsv@Matthew:14:3 @ For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison, for the sake of Hero'di-as, his brother Philip's wife;

rsv@Matthew:14:4 @ because John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."

rsv@Matthew:14:5 @ And though he wanted to put him to death, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet.

rsv@Matthew:14:6 @ But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Hero'di-as danced before the company, and pleased Herod,

rsv@Matthew:14:7 @ so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.

rsv@Matthew:14:8 @ Prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter."

rsv@Matthew:14:9 @ And the king was sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given;

rsv@Matthew:14:10 @ he sent and had John beheaded in the prison,

rsv@Matthew:14:11 @ and his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

rsv@Matthew:14:12 @ And his disciples came and took the body and buried it; and they went and told Jesus.

rsv@Matthew:14:13 @ Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a lonely place apart. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns.

rsv@Matthew:14:14 @ As he went ashore he saw a great throng; and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.

rsv@Matthew:14:15 @ When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a lonely place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves."

rsv@Matthew:14:16 @ Jesus said, "They need not go away; you give them something to eat."

rsv@Matthew:14:17 @ They said to him, "We have only five loaves here and two fish."

rsv@Matthew:14:18 @ And he said, "Bring them here to me."

rsv@Matthew:14:19 @ Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass; and taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

rsv@Matthew:14:20 @ And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over.

rsv@Matthew:14:21 @ And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

rsv@Matthew:14:22 @ Then he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.

rsv@Matthew:14:23 @ And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,

rsv@Matthew:14:24 @ but the boat by this time was many furlongs distant from the land, beaten by the waves; for the wind was against them.

rsv@Matthew:14:25 @ And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea.

rsv@Matthew:14:26 @ But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear.

rsv@Matthew:14:27 @ But immediately he spoke to them, saying, "Take heart, it is I; have no fear."

rsv@Matthew:14:28 @ And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, bid me come to you on the water."

rsv@Matthew:14:29 @ He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus;

rsv@Matthew:14:30 @ but when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me."

rsv@Matthew:14:31 @ Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, "O man of little faith, why did you doubt?"

rsv@Matthew:14:32 @ And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

rsv@Matthew:14:33 @ And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."

rsv@Matthew:14:34 @ And when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.

rsv@Matthew:14:35 @ And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent round to all that region and brought to him all that were sick,

rsv@Matthew:14:36 @ and besought him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.

rsv@Matthew:15:1 @ Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,

rsv@Matthew:15:2 @ "Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat."

rsv@Matthew:15:3 @ He answered them, "And why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

rsv@Matthew:15:4 @ For God commanded, `Honor your father and your mother,' and, `He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him surely die.'

rsv@Matthew:15:5 @ But you say, `If any one tells his father or his mother, What you would have gained from me is given to God, he need not honor his father.'

rsv@Matthew:15:6 @ So, for the sake of your tradition, you have made void the word of God.

rsv@Matthew:15:7 @ You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said:

rsv@Matthew:15:8 @ `This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;

rsv@Matthew:15:9 @ in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.'"

rsv@Matthew:15:10 @ And he called the people to him and said to them, "Hear and understand:

rsv@Matthew:15:11 @ not what goes into the mouth defiles a man, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man."

rsv@Matthew:15:12 @ Then the disciples came and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?"

rsv@Matthew:15:13 @ He answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.

rsv@Matthew:15:14 @ Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit."

rsv@Matthew:15:15 @ But Peter said to him, "Explain the parable to us."

rsv@Matthew:15:16 @ And he said, "Are you also still without understanding?

rsv@Matthew:15:17 @ Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and so passes on?

rsv@Matthew:15:18 @ But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a man.

rsv@Matthew:15:19 @ For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander.

rsv@Matthew:15:20 @ These are what defile a man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man."

rsv@Matthew:15:21 @ And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.

rsv@Matthew:15:22 @ And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and cried, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely possessed by a demon."

rsv@Matthew:15:23 @ But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away, for she is crying after us."

rsv@Matthew:15:24 @ He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

rsv@Matthew:15:25 @ But she came and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, help me."

rsv@Matthew:15:26 @ And he answered, "It is not fair to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

rsv@Matthew:15:27 @ She said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table."

rsv@Matthew:15:28 @ Then Jesus answered her, "O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire." And her daughter was healed instantly.

rsv@Matthew:15:29 @ And Jesus went on from there and passed along the Sea of Galilee. And he went up on the mountain, and sat down there.

rsv@Matthew:15:30 @ And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the maimed, the blind, the dumb, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them,

rsv@Matthew:15:31 @ so that the throng wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

rsv@Matthew:15:32 @ Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat; and I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way."

rsv@Matthew:15:33 @ And the disciples said to him, "Where are we to get bread enough in the desert to feed so great a crowd?"

rsv@Matthew:15:34 @ And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves have you?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."

rsv@Matthew:15:35 @ And commanding the crowd to sit down on the ground,

rsv@Matthew:15:36 @ he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

rsv@Matthew:15:37 @ And they all ate and were satisfied; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over.

rsv@Matthew:15:38 @ Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

rsv@Matthew:15:39 @ And sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Mag'adan.

rsv@Matthew:16:1 @ And the Pharisees and Sad'ducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

rsv@Matthew:16:2 @ He answered them, "When it is evening, you say, `It will be fair weather; for the sky is red.'

rsv@Matthew:16:3 @ And in the morning, `It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.

rsv@Matthew:16:4 @ An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah." So he left them and departed.

rsv@Matthew:16:5 @ When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring any bread.

rsv@Matthew:16:6 @ Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sad'ducees."

rsv@Matthew:16:7 @ And they discussed it among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."

rsv@Matthew:16:8 @ But Jesus, aware of this, said, "O men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves the fact that you have no bread?

rsv@Matthew:16:9 @ Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?

rsv@Matthew:16:10 @ Or the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?

rsv@Matthew:16:11 @ How is it that you fail to perceive that I did not speak about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sad'ducees."

rsv@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sad'ducees.

rsv@Matthew:16:13 @ Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesare'a Philip'pi, he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that the Son of man is?"

rsv@Matthew:16:14 @ And they said, "Some say John the Baptist, others say Eli'jah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

rsv@Matthew:16:15 @ He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

rsv@Matthew:16:16 @ Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

rsv@Matthew:16:17 @ And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

rsv@Matthew:16:18 @ And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.

rsv@Matthew:16:19 @ I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

rsv@Matthew:16:20 @ Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

rsv@Matthew:16:21 @ From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.

rsv@Matthew:16:22 @ And Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying, "God forbid, Lord! This shall never happen to you."

rsv@Matthew:16:23 @ But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you are not on the side of God, but of men."

rsv@Matthew:16:24 @ Then Jesus told his disciples, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

rsv@Matthew:16:25 @ For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

rsv@Matthew:16:26 @ For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give in return for his life?

rsv@Matthew:16:27 @ For the Son of man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay every man for what he has done.

rsv@Matthew:16:28 @ Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom."

rsv@Matthew:17:1 @ And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain apart.

rsv@Matthew:17:2 @ And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as light.

rsv@Matthew:17:3 @ And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Eli'jah, talking with him.

rsv@Matthew:17:4 @ And Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is well that we are here; if you wish, I will make three booths here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah."

rsv@Matthew:17:5 @ He was still speaking, when lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him."

rsv@Matthew:17:6 @ When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces, and were filled with awe.

rsv@Matthew:17:7 @ But Jesus came and touched them, saying, "Rise, and have no fear."

rsv@Matthew:17:8 @ And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

rsv@Matthew:17:9 @ And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, "Tell no one the vision, until the Son of man is raised from the dead."

rsv@Matthew:17:10 @ And the disciples asked him, "Then why do the scribes say that first Eli'jah must come?"

rsv@Matthew:17:11 @ He replied, "Eli'jah does come, and he is to restore all things;

rsv@Matthew:17:12 @ but I tell you that Eli'jah has already come, and they did not know him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of man will suffer at their hands."

rsv@Matthew:17:13 @ Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.

rsv@Matthew:17:14 @ And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and kneeling before him said,

rsv@Matthew:17:15 @ "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and he suffers terribly; for often he falls into the fire, and often into the water.

rsv@Matthew:17:16 @ And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him."

rsv@Matthew:17:17 @ And Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me."

rsv@Matthew:17:18 @ And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured instantly.

rsv@Matthew:17:19 @ Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?"

rsv@Matthew:17:20 @ He said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, `Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you."

rsv@Matthew:17:21 @ As they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men,

rsv@Matthew:17:22 @ and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day." And they were greatly distressed.

rsv@Matthew:17:23 @ When they came to Caper'na-um, the collectors of the half-shekel tax went up to Peter and said, "Does not your teacher pay the tax?"

rsv@Matthew:17:24 @ He said, "Yes." And when he came home, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tribute? From their sons or from others?"

rsv@Matthew:17:25 @ And when he said, "From others," Jesus said to him, "Then the sons are free.

rsv@Matthew:17:26 @ However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel; take that and give it to them for me and for yourself."

rsv@Matthew:18:1 @ At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

rsv@Matthew:18:2 @ And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them,

rsv@Matthew:18:3 @ and said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

rsv@Matthew:18:4 @ Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

rsv@Matthew:18:5 @ "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me;

rsv@Matthew:18:6 @ but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

rsv@Matthew:18:7 @ "Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the man by whom the temptation comes!

rsv@Matthew:18:8 @ And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to enter life maimed or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire.

rsv@Matthew:18:9 @ And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away; it is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the hell of fire.

rsv@Matthew:18:10 @ "See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell you that in heaven their angels always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.

rsv@Matthew:18:11 @ What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray?

rsv@Matthew:18:12 @ And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray.

rsv@Matthew:18:13 @ So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

rsv@Matthew:18:14 @ "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.

rsv@Matthew:18:16 @ If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

rsv@Matthew:18:17 @ Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

rsv@Matthew:18:18 @ Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

rsv@Matthew:18:19 @ For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

rsv@Matthew:18:20 @ Then Peter came up and said to him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?"

rsv@Matthew:18:21 @ Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.

rsv@Matthew:18:22 @ "Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.

rsv@Matthew:18:26 @ And out of pity for him the lord of that servant released him and forgave him the debt.

rsv@Matthew:18:27 @ But that same servant, as he went out, came upon one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and seizing him by the throat he said, `Pay what you owe.'

rsv@Matthew:18:28 @ So his fellow servant fell down and besought him, `Have patience with me, and I will pay you.'

rsv@Matthew:18:29 @ He refused and went and put him in prison till he should pay the debt.

rsv@Matthew:18:30 @ When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their lord all that had taken place.

rsv@Matthew:18:31 @ Then his lord summoned him and said to him, `You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you besought me;

rsv@Matthew:18:34 @ So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart."

rsv@Matthew:19:1 @ Now when Jesus had finished these sayings, he went away from Galilee and entered the region of Judea beyond the Jordan;

rsv@Matthew:19:2 @ and large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

rsv@Matthew:19:3 @ And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?"

rsv@Matthew:19:4 @ He answered, "Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,

rsv@Matthew:19:5 @ and said, `For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?

rsv@Matthew:19:6 @ So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."

rsv@Matthew:19:7 @ They said to him, "Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?"

rsv@Matthew:19:8 @ He said to them, "For your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.

rsv@Matthew:19:9 @ And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another, commits adultery."

rsv@Matthew:19:10 @ The disciples said to him, "If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry."

rsv@Matthew:19:11 @ But he said to them, "Not all men can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given.

rsv@Matthew:19:12 @ For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it."

rsv@Matthew:19:13 @ Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people;

rsv@Matthew:19:15 @ And he laid his hands on them and went away.

rsv@Matthew:19:16 @ And behold, one came up to him, saying, "Teacher, what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?"

rsv@Matthew:19:17 @ And he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? One there is who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments."

rsv@Matthew:19:22 @ When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.

rsv@Matthew:19:23 @ And Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly, I say to you, it will be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

rsv@Matthew:19:24 @ Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

rsv@Matthew:19:25 @ When the disciples heard this they were greatly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"

rsv@Matthew:19:26 @ But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

rsv@Matthew:19:27 @ Then Peter said in reply, "Lo, we have left everything and followed you. What then shall we have?"

rsv@Matthew:19:28 @ Jesus said to them, "Truly, I say to you, in the new world, when the Son of man shall sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

rsv@Matthew:19:29 @ And every one who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.

rsv@Matthew:19:30 @ But many that are first will be last, and the last first.

rsv@Matthew:20:1 @ "For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

rsv@Matthew:20:2 @ After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

rsv@Matthew:20:3 @ And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the market place;

rsv@Matthew:20:4 @ and to them he said, `You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.

rsv@Matthew:20:5 @ Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same.

rsv@Matthew:20:6 @ And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing; and he said to them, `Why do you stand here idle all day?'

rsv@Matthew:20:7 @ They said to him, `Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, `You go into the vineyard too.'

rsv@Matthew:20:8 @ And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, `Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.'

rsv@Matthew:20:9 @ And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius.

rsv@Matthew:20:10 @ Now when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius.

rsv@Matthew:20:11 @ And on receiving it they grumbled at the householder,

rsv@Matthew:20:12 @ saying, `These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.'

rsv@Matthew:20:13 @ But he replied to one of them, `Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius?

rsv@Matthew:20:14 @ Take what belongs to you, and go; I choose to give to this last as I give to you.

rsv@Matthew:20:15 @ Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?'

rsv@Matthew:20:16 @ So the last will be first, and the first last."

rsv@Matthew:20:17 @ And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,

rsv@Matthew:20:18 @ "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

rsv@Matthew:20:19 @ and deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day."

rsv@Matthew:20:20 @ Then the mother of the sons of Zeb'edee came up to him, with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him for something.

rsv@Matthew:20:21 @ And he said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Command that these two sons of mine may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom."

rsv@Matthew:20:22 @ But Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?" They said to him, "We are able."

rsv@Matthew:20:23 @ He said to them, "You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."

rsv@Matthew:20:24 @ And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers.

rsv@Matthew:20:25 @ But Jesus called them to him and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.

rsv@Matthew:20:26 @ It shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant,

rsv@Matthew:20:27 @ and whoever would be first among you must be your slave;

rsv@Matthew:20:28 @ even as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

rsv@Matthew:20:29 @ And as they went out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him.

rsv@Matthew:20:30 @ And behold, two blind men sitting by the roadside, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!"

rsv@Matthew:20:31 @ The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be silent; but they cried out the more, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

rsv@Matthew:20:32 @ And Jesus stopped and called them, saying, "What do you want me to do for you?"

rsv@Matthew:20:33 @ They said to him, "Lord, let our eyes be opened."

rsv@Matthew:20:34 @ And Jesus in pity touched their eyes, and immediately they received their sight and followed him.

rsv@Matthew:21:1 @ And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Beth'phage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

rsv@Matthew:21:2 @ saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find an ass tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me.

rsv@Matthew:21:3 @ If any one says anything to you, you shall say, `The Lord has need of them,' and he will send them immediately."

rsv@Matthew:21:4 @ This took place to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet, saying,

rsv@Matthew:21:5 @ "Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on an ass, and on a colt, the foal of an ass."

rsv@Matthew:21:6 @ The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them;

rsv@Matthew:21:7 @ they brought the ass and the colt, and put their garments on them, and he sat thereon.

rsv@Matthew:21:8 @ Most of the crowd spread their garments on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

rsv@Matthew:21:9 @ And the crowds that went before him and that followed him shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"

rsv@Matthew:21:10 @ And when he entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, "Who is this?"

rsv@Matthew:21:11 @ And the crowds said, "This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee."

rsv@Matthew:21:12 @ And Jesus entered the temple of God and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons.

rsv@Matthew:21:13 @ He said to them, "It is written, `My house shall be called a house of prayer'; but you make it a den of robbers."

rsv@Matthew:21:14 @ And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

rsv@Matthew:21:15 @ But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant;

rsv@Matthew:21:16 @ and they said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes; have you never read, `Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast brought perfect praise'?"

rsv@Matthew:21:17 @ And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there.

rsv@Matthew:21:18 @ In the morning, as he was returning to the city, he was hungry.

rsv@Matthew:21:19 @ And seeing a fig tree by the wayside he went to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only. And he said to it, "May no fruit ever come from you again!" And the fig tree withered at once.

rsv@Matthew:21:20 @ When the disciples saw it they marveled, saying, "How did the fig tree wither at once?"

rsv@Matthew:21:21 @ And Jesus answered them, "Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and never doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, `Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will be done.

rsv@Matthew:21:22 @ And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith."

rsv@Matthew:21:23 @ And when he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?"

rsv@Matthew:21:24 @ Jesus answered them, "I also will ask you a question; and if you tell me the answer, then I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.

rsv@Matthew:21:25 @ The baptism of John, whence was it? From heaven or from men?" And they argued with one another, "If we say, `From heaven,' he will say to us, `Why then did you not believe him?'

rsv@Matthew:21:26 @ But if we say, `From men,' we are afraid of the multitude; for all hold that John was a prophet."

rsv@Matthew:21:27 @ So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." And he said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

rsv@Matthew:21:28 @ "What do you think? A man had two sons; and he went to the first and said, `Son, go and work in the vineyard today.'

rsv@Matthew:21:29 @ And he answered, `I will not'; but afterward he repented and went.

rsv@Matthew:21:30 @ And he went to the second and said the same; and he answered, `I go, sir,' but did not go.

rsv@Matthew:21:31 @ Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

rsv@Matthew:21:32 @ For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him; and even when you saw it, you did not afterward repent and believe him.

rsv@Matthew:21:33 @ "Hear another parable. There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country.

rsv@Matthew:21:34 @ When the season of fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to get his fruit;

rsv@Matthew:21:35 @ and the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

rsv@Matthew:21:36 @ Again he sent other servants, more than the first; and they did the same to them.

rsv@Matthew:21:37 @ Afterward he sent his son to them, saying, `They will respect my son.'

rsv@Matthew:21:38 @ But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, `This is the heir; come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.'

rsv@Matthew:21:39 @ And they took him and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

rsv@Matthew:21:40 @ When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?"

rsv@Matthew:21:41 @ They said to him, "He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons."

rsv@Matthew:21:42 @ Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the scriptures: `The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?

rsv@Matthew:21:43 @ Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it."

rsv@Matthew:21:44 @ When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them.

rsv@Matthew:21:45 @ But when they tried to arrest him, they feared the multitudes, because they held him to be a prophet.

rsv@Matthew:22:1 @ And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying,

rsv@Matthew:22:2 @ "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a marriage feast for his son,

rsv@Matthew:22:3 @ and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast; but they would not come.

rsv@Matthew:22:4 @ Again he sent other servants, saying, `Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have made ready my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves are killed, and everything is ready; come to the marriage feast.'

rsv@Matthew:22:5 @ But they made light of it and went off, one to his farm, another to his business,

rsv@Matthew:22:6 @ while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.

rsv@Matthew:22:7 @ The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

rsv@Matthew:22:8 @ Then he said to his servants, `The wedding is ready, but those invited were not worthy.

rsv@Matthew:22:9 @ Go therefore to the thoroughfares, and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find.'

rsv@Matthew:22:10 @ And those servants went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good; so the wedding hall was filled with guests.

rsv@Matthew:22:11 @ "But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment;

rsv@Matthew:22:12 @ and he said to him, `Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless.

rsv@Matthew:22:13 @ Then the king said to the attendants, `Bind him hand and foot, and cast him into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.'

rsv@Matthew:22:14 @ For many are called, but few are chosen."

rsv@Matthew:22:15 @ Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how to entangle him in his talk.

rsv@Matthew:22:16 @ And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Hero'di-ans, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God truthfully, and care for no man; for you do not regard the position of men.

rsv@Matthew:22:17 @ Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"

rsv@Matthew:22:18 @ But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, "Why put me to the test, you hypocrites?

rsv@Matthew:22:19 @ Show me the money for the tax." And they brought him a coin.

rsv@Matthew:22:20 @ And Jesus said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?"

rsv@Matthew:22:21 @ They said, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

rsv@Matthew:22:22 @ When they heard it, they marveled; and they left him and went away.

rsv@Matthew:22:23 @ The same day Sad'ducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him a question,

rsv@Matthew:22:24 @ saying, "Teacher, Moses said, `If a man dies, having no children, his brother must marry the widow, and raise up children for his brother.'

rsv@Matthew:22:25 @ Now there were seven brothers among us; the first married, and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother.

rsv@Matthew:22:26 @ So too the second and third, down to the seventh.

rsv@Matthew:22:27 @ After them all, the woman died.

rsv@Matthew:22:28 @ In the resurrection, therefore, to which of the seven will she be wife? For they all had her."

rsv@Matthew:22:29 @ But Jesus answered them, "You are wrong, because you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God.

rsv@Matthew:22:30 @ For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

rsv@Matthew:22:31 @ And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God,

rsv@Matthew:22:32 @ `I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not God of the dead, but of the living."

rsv@Matthew:22:33 @ And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

rsv@Matthew:22:34 @ But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sad'ducees, they came together.

rsv@Matthew:22:35 @ And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, to test him.

rsv@Matthew:22:36 @ "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?"

rsv@Matthew:22:37 @ And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

rsv@Matthew:22:38 @ This is the great and first commandment.

rsv@Matthew:22:39 @ And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

rsv@Matthew:22:40 @ On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets."

rsv@Matthew:22:41 @ Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,

rsv@Matthew:22:42 @ saying, "What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "The son of David."

rsv@Matthew:22:43 @ He said to them, "How is it then that David, inspired by the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying,

rsv@Matthew:22:44 @ `The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put thy enemies under thy feet'?

rsv@Matthew:22:45 @ If David thus calls him Lord, how is he his son?"

rsv@Matthew:22:46 @ And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did any one dare to ask him any more questions.

rsv@Matthew:23:1 @ Then said Jesus to the crowds and to his disciples,

rsv@Matthew:23:2 @ "The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat;

rsv@Matthew:23:3 @ so practice and observe whatever they tell you, but not what they do; for they preach, but do not practice.

rsv@Matthew:23:4 @ They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.

rsv@Matthew:23:5 @ They do all their deeds to be seen by men; for they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long,

rsv@Matthew:25:10 @ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut.

rsv@Matthew:26:1 @ When Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,

rsv@Matthew:26:2 @ "You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of man will be delivered up to be crucified."

rsv@Matthew:26:3 @ Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the palace of the high priest, who was called Ca'iaphas,

rsv@Matthew:26:4 @ and took counsel together in order to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.

rsv@Matthew:26:5 @ But they said, "Not during the feast, lest there be a tumult among the people."

rsv@Matthew:26:6 @ Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,

rsv@Matthew:26:7 @ a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head, as he sat at table.

rsv@Matthew:26:8 @ But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste?

rsv@Matthew:26:9 @ For this ointment might have been sold for a large sum, and given to the poor."

rsv@Matthew:26:10 @ But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me.

rsv@Matthew:26:11 @ For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.

rsv@Matthew:26:12 @ In pouring this ointment on my body she has done it to prepare me for burial.

rsv@Matthew:26:13 @ Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her."

rsv@Matthew:26:14 @ Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

rsv@Matthew:26:15 @ and said, "What will you give me if I deliver him to you?" And they paid him thirty pieces of silver.

rsv@Matthew:26:16 @ And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him.

rsv@Matthew:26:17 @ Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the passover?"

rsv@Matthew:26:18 @ He said, "Go into the city to a certain one, and say to him, `The Teacher says, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at your house with my disciples.'"

rsv@Matthew:26:19 @ And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the passover.

rsv@Matthew:26:20 @ When it was evening, he sat at table with the twelve disciples;

rsv@Matthew:26:21 @ and as they were eating, he said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."

rsv@Matthew:26:22 @ And they were very sorrowful, and began to say to him one after another, "Is it I, Lord?"

rsv@Matthew:26:23 @ He answered, "He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me, will betray me.

rsv@Matthew:26:24 @ The Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."

rsv@Matthew:26:25 @ Judas, who betrayed him, said, "Is it I, Master?" He said to him, "You have said so."

rsv@Matthew:26:26 @ Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."

rsv@Matthew:26:27 @ And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, "Drink of it, all of you;

rsv@Matthew:26:28 @ for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

rsv@Matthew:26:29 @ I tell you I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."

rsv@Matthew:26:30 @ And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

rsv@Matthew:26:31 @ Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of me this night; for it is written, `I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'

rsv@Matthew:26:32 @ But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee."

rsv@Matthew:26:33 @ Peter declared to him, "Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away."

rsv@Matthew:26:34 @ Jesus said to him, "Truly, I say to you, this very night, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times."

rsv@Matthew:26:35 @ Peter said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you." And so said all the disciples.

rsv@Matthew:26:36 @ Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsem'ane, and he said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go yonder and pray."

rsv@Matthew:26:37 @ And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zeb'edee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled.

rsv@Matthew:26:38 @ Then he said to them, "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me."

rsv@Matthew:26:39 @ And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt."

rsv@Matthew:26:40 @ And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, "So, could you not watch with me one hour?

rsv@Matthew:26:41 @ Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

rsv@Matthew:26:42 @ Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, thy will be done."

rsv@Matthew:26:43 @ And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

rsv@Matthew:26:44 @ So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words.

rsv@Matthew:26:45 @ Then he came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

rsv@Matthew:26:46 @ Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand."

rsv@Matthew:26:47 @ While he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people.

rsv@Matthew:26:48 @ Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I shall kiss is the man; seize him."

rsv@Matthew:26:49 @ And he came up to Jesus at once and said, "Hail, Master!" And he kissed him.

rsv@Matthew:26:50 @ Jesus said to him, "Friend, why are you here?" Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him.

rsv@Matthew:26:51 @ And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

rsv@Matthew:26:52 @ Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.

rsv@Matthew:26:53 @ Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?

rsv@Matthew:26:54 @ But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?"

rsv@Matthew:26:55 @ At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me.

rsv@Matthew:26:56 @ But all this has taken place, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.

rsv@Matthew:26:57 @ Then those who had seized Jesus led him to Ca'iaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered.

rsv@Matthew:26:58 @ But Peter followed him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and going inside he sat with the guards to see the end.

rsv@Matthew:26:59 @ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death,

rsv@Matthew:26:60 @ but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward

rsv@Matthew:26:61 @ and said, "This fellow said, `I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.'"

rsv@Matthew:26:62 @ And the high priest stood up and said, "Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?"

rsv@Matthew:26:63 @ But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, "I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God."

rsv@Matthew:26:64 @ Jesus said to him, "You have said so. But I tell you, hereafter you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

rsv@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the high priest tore his robes, and said, "He has uttered blasphemy. Why do we still need witnesses? You have now heard his blasphemy.

rsv@Matthew:26:66 @ What is your judgment?" They answered, "He deserves death."

rsv@Matthew:26:67 @ Then they spat in his face, and struck him; and some slapped him,

rsv@Matthew:26:68 @ saying, "Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who is it that struck you?"

rsv@Matthew:26:69 @ Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. And a maid came up to him, and said, "You also were with Jesus the Galilean."

rsv@Matthew:26:70 @ But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you mean."

rsv@Matthew:26:71 @ And when he went out to the porch, another maid saw him, and she said to the bystanders, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth."

rsv@Matthew:26:72 @ And again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man."

rsv@Matthew:26:73 @ After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Certainly you are also one of them, for your accent betrays you."

rsv@Matthew:26:74 @ Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, "I do not know the man." And immediately the cock crowed.

rsv@Matthew:26:75 @ And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, "Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly.

rsv@Matthew:27:1 @ When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death;

rsv@Matthew:27:2 @ and they bound him and led him away and delivered him to Pilate the governor.

rsv@Matthew:27:3 @ When Judas, his betrayer, saw that he was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,

rsv@Matthew:27:4 @ saying, "I have sinned in betraying innocent blood." They said, "What is that to us? See to it yourself."

rsv@Matthew:27:5 @ And throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went and hanged himself.

rsv@Matthew:27:6 @ But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since they are blood money."

rsv@Matthew:27:7 @ So they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

rsv@Matthew:27:8 @ Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

rsv@Matthew:27:9 @ Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel,

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

rsv@Matthew:27:11 @ Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You have said so."

rsv@Matthew:27:12 @ But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he made no answer.

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

rsv@Matthew:27:14 @ But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge; so that the governor wondered greatly.

rsv@Matthew:27:15 @ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted.

rsv@Matthew:27:16 @ And they had then a notorious prisoner, called Barab'bas.

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

rsv@Matthew:27:18 @ For he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered him up.

rsv@Matthew:27:19 @ Besides, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much over him today in a dream."

rsv@Matthew:27:20 @ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the people to ask for Barab'bas and destroy Jesus.

rsv@Matthew:27:21 @ The governor again said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barab'bas."

rsv@Matthew:27:22 @ Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified."

rsv@Matthew:27:23 @ And he said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Let him be crucified."

rsv@Matthew:27:24 @ So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves."

rsv@Matthew:27:25 @ And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!"

rsv@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released for them Barab'bas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.

rsv@Matthew:27:27 @ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the praetorium, and they gathered the whole battalion before him.

rsv@Matthew:27:28 @ And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe upon him,

rsv@Matthew:27:29 @ and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on his head, and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

rsv@Matthew:27:30 @ And they spat upon him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

rsv@Matthew:27:31 @ And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

rsv@Matthew:27:32 @ As they went out, they came upon a man of Cyre'ne, Simon by name; this man they compelled to carry his cross.

rsv@Matthew:27:33 @ And when they came to a place called Gol'gotha (which means the place of a skull),

rsv@Matthew:27:34 @ they offered him wine to drink, mingled with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it.

rsv@Matthew:27:35 @ And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots;

rsv@Matthew:27:36 @ then they sat down and kept watch over him there.

rsv@Matthew:27:37 @ And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, "This is Jesus the King of the Jews."

rsv@Matthew:27:38 @ Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left.

rsv@Matthew:27:39 @ And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads

rsv@Matthew:27:40 @ and saying, "You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross."

rsv@Matthew:27:41 @ So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying,

rsv@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.

rsv@Matthew:27:43 @ He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him; for he said, `I am the Son of God.'"

rsv@Matthew:27:44 @ And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.

rsv@Matthew:27:45 @ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

rsv@Matthew:27:46 @ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, la'ma sabach-tha'ni?" that is, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

rsv@Matthew:27:47 @ And some of the bystanders hearing it said, "This man is calling Eli'jah."

rsv@Matthew:27:48 @ And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink.

rsv@Matthew:27:49 @ But the others said, "Wait, let us see whether Eli'jah will come to save him."

rsv@Matthew:27:50 @ And Jesus cried again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.

rsv@Matthew:27:51 @ And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom; and the earth shook, and the rocks were split;

rsv@Matthew:27:52 @ the tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,

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

rsv@Matthew:27:54 @ When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe, and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

rsv@Matthew:27:55 @ There were also many women there, looking on from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him;

rsv@Matthew:27:56 @ among whom were Mary Mag'dalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zeb'edee.

rsv@Matthew:27:57 @ When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathe'a, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus.

rsv@Matthew:27:58 @ He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

rsv@Matthew:27:59 @ And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud,

rsv@Matthew:27:60 @ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

rsv@Matthew:27:61 @ Mary Mag'dalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the sepulchre.

rsv@Matthew:27:62 @ Next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate

rsv@Matthew:27:63 @ and said, "Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, `After three days I will rise again.'

rsv@Matthew:27:64 @ Therefore order the sepulchre to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away, and tell the people, `He has risen from the dead,' and the last fraud will be worse than the first."

rsv@Matthew:27:65 @ Pilate said to them, "You have a guard of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can."

rsv@Matthew:27:66 @ So they went and made the sepulchre secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard.

rsv@Matthew:28:1 @ Now after the sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Mag'dalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulchre.

rsv@Matthew:28:2 @ And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.

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

rsv@Matthew:28:4 @ And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men.

rsv@Matthew:28:5 @ But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

rsv@Matthew:28:6 @ He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.

rsv@Matthew:28:7 @ Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Lo, I have told you."

rsv@Matthew:28:8 @ So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

rsv@Matthew:28:9 @ And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Hail!" And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.

rsv@Matthew:28:10 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see me."

rsv@Matthew:28:11 @ While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place.

rsv@Matthew:28:12 @ And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sum of money to the soldiers

rsv@Matthew:28:13 @ and said, "Tell people, `His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.'

rsv@Matthew:28:14 @ And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble."

rsv@Matthew:28:15 @ So they took the money and did as they were directed; and this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.

rsv@Matthew:28:16 @ Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.

rsv@Matthew:28:17 @ And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted.

rsv@Matthew:28:18 @ And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

rsv@Matthew:28:19 @ Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

rsv@Matthew:28:20 @ teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."

rsv@Mark:1:10 @ And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove;

rsv@Mark:1:12 @ The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness.

rsv@Mark:1:13 @ And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.

rsv@Mark:1:15 @ and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel."

rsv@Mark:1:18 @ And immediately they left their nets and followed him.

rsv@Mark:1:19 @ And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zeb'edee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets.

rsv@Mark:1:20 @ And immediately he called them; and they left their father Zeb'edee in the boat with the hired servants, and followed him.

rsv@Mark:1:21 @ And they went into Caper'na-um; and immediately on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught.

rsv@Mark:1:22 @ And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.

rsv@Mark:1:23 @ And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit;

rsv@Mark:1:24 @ and he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God."

rsv@Mark:1:27 @ And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching! With authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."

rsv@Mark:1:28 @ And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.

rsv@Mark:1:29 @ And immediately he left the synagogue, and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

rsv@Mark:1:30 @ Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him of her.

rsv@Mark:1:32 @ That evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons.

rsv@Mark:1:33 @ And the whole city was gathered together about the door.

rsv@Mark:1:35 @ And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed.

rsv@Mark:1:38 @ And he said to them, "Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also; for that is why I came out."

rsv@Mark:1:42 @ And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.

rsv@Mark:1:43 @ And he sternly charged him, and sent him away at once,

rsv@Mark:1:44 @ and said to him, "See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to the people."

rsv@Mark:1:45 @ But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.

rsv@Mark:2:1 @ And when he returned to Caper'na-um after some days, it was reported that he was at home.

rsv@Mark:2:2 @ And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, not even about the door; and he was preaching the word to them.

rsv@Mark:2:8 @ And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you question thus in your hearts?

rsv@Mark:2:10 @ But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--he said to the paralytic--

rsv@Mark:2:12 @ And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

rsv@Mark:2:13 @ He went out again beside the sea; and all the crowd gathered about him, and he taught them.

rsv@Mark:2:14 @ And as he passed on, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he rose and followed him.

rsv@Mark:2:15 @ And as he sat at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were sitting with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many who followed him.

rsv@Mark:2:16 @ And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

rsv@Mark:2:20 @ The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.

rsv@Mark:2:21 @ No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; if he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made.

rsv@Mark:2:23 @ One sabbath he was going through the grainfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain.

rsv@Mark:2:24 @ And the Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?"

rsv@Mark:2:25 @ And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him:

rsv@Mark:2:26 @ how he entered the house of God, when Abi'athar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?"

rsv@Mark:2:27 @ And he said to them, "The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath;

rsv@Mark:2:28 @ so the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath."

rsv@Mark:3:2 @ And they watched him, to see whether he would heal him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him.

rsv@Mark:3:4 @ And he said to them, "Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?" But they were silent.

rsv@Mark:3:5 @ And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

rsv@Mark:3:6 @ The Pharisees went out, and immediately held counsel with the Hero'di-ans against him, how to destroy him.

rsv@Mark:3:7 @ Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed; also from Judea

rsv@Mark:3:8 @ and Jerusalem and Idume'a and from beyond the Jordan and from about Tyre and Sidon a great multitude, hearing all that he did, came to him.

rsv@Mark:3:9 @ And he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they should crush him;

rsv@Mark:3:10 @ for he had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him.

rsv@Mark:3:17 @ James the son of Zeb'edee and John the brother of James, whom he surnamed Bo-aner'ges, that is, sons of thunder;

rsv@Mark:3:18 @ Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean,

rsv@Mark:3:20 @ and the crowd came together again, so that they could not even eat.

rsv@Mark:3:23 @ And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan?

rsv@Mark:3:24 @ If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

rsv@Mark:3:25 @ And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

rsv@Mark:3:26 @ And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end.

rsv@Mark:3:28 @ "Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter;

rsv@Mark:3:34 @ And looking around on those who sat about him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers!

rsv@Mark:4:1 @ Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land.

rsv@Mark:4:4 @ And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

rsv@Mark:4:5 @ Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil;

rsv@Mark:4:12 @ so that they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand; lest they should turn again, and be forgiven."

rsv@Mark:4:15 @ And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown; when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word which is sown in them.

rsv@Mark:4:16 @ And these in like manner are the ones sown upon rocky ground, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy;

rsv@Mark:4:17 @ and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away.

rsv@Mark:4:20 @ But those that were sown upon the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold."

rsv@Mark:4:24 @ And he said to them, "Take heed what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you.

rsv@Mark:4:25 @ For to him who has will more be given; and from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away."

rsv@Mark:4:26 @ And he said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed upon the ground,

rsv@Mark:4:29 @ But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."

rsv@Mark:4:30 @ And he said, "With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it?

rsv@Mark:4:32 @ yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade."

rsv@Mark:4:34 @ he did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

rsv@Mark:4:35 @ On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go across to the other side."

rsv@Mark:4:36 @ And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him.

rsv@Mark:4:37 @ And a great storm of wind arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already filling.

rsv@Mark:4:39 @ And he awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

rsv@Mark:4:41 @ And they were filled with awe, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey him?"

rsv@Mark:5:2 @ And when he had come out of the boat, there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

rsv@Mark:5:7 @ and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."

rsv@Mark:5:9 @ And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "My name is Legion; for we are many."

rsv@Mark:5:11 @ Now a great herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside;

rsv@Mark:5:14 @ The herdsmen fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened.

rsv@Mark:5:16 @ And those who had seen it told what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine.

rsv@Mark:5:18 @ And as he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him.

rsv@Mark:5:21 @ And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him; and he was beside the sea.

rsv@Mark:5:22 @ Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Ja'irus by name; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,

rsv@Mark:5:23 @ and besought him, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live."

rsv@Mark:5:24 @ And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him.

rsv@Mark:5:26 @ and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse.

rsv@Mark:5:29 @ And immediately the hemorrhage ceased; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.

rsv@Mark:5:30 @ And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, immediately turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my garments?"

rsv@Mark:5:33 @ But the woman, knowing what had been done to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.

rsv@Mark:5:36 @ But ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe."

rsv@Mark:5:40 @ And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside, and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

rsv@Mark:5:42 @ And immediately the girl got up and walked (she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement.

rsv@Mark:5:43 @ And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.

rsv@Mark:6:2 @ And on the sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue; and many who heard him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get all this? What is the wisdom given to him? What mighty works are wrought by his hands!

rsv@Mark:6:3 @ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.

rsv@Mark:6:5 @ And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands upon a few sick people and healed them.

rsv@Mark:6:11 @ And if any place will not receive you and they refuse to hear you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet for a testimony against them."

rsv@Mark:6:12 @ So they went out and preached that men should repent.

rsv@Mark:6:13 @ And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.

rsv@Mark:6:14 @ King Herod heard of it; for Jesus' name had become known. Some said, "John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him."

rsv@Mark:6:20 @ for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he was much perplexed; and yet he heard him gladly.

rsv@Mark:6:22 @ For when Hero'di-as' daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will grant it."

rsv@Mark:6:23 @ And he vowed to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom."

rsv@Mark:6:24 @ And she went out, and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the baptizer."

rsv@Mark:6:25 @ And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

rsv@Mark:6:26 @ And the king was exceedingly sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her.

rsv@Mark:6:27 @ And immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard and gave orders to bring his head. He went and beheaded him in the prison,

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

rsv@Mark:6:30 @ The apostles returned to Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught.

rsv@Mark:6:31 @ And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a lonely place, and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.

rsv@Mark:6:32 @ And they went away in the boat to a lonely place by themselves.

rsv@Mark:6:34 @ As he went ashore he saw a great throng, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

rsv@Mark:6:35 @ And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, "This is a lonely place, and the hour is now late;

rsv@Mark:6:36 @ send them away, to go into the country and villages round about and buy themselves something to eat."

rsv@Mark:6:37 @ But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." And they said to him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?"

rsv@Mark:6:40 @ So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.

rsv@Mark:6:42 @ And they all ate and were satisfied.

rsv@Mark:6:44 @ And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

rsv@Mark:6:45 @ Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Beth-sa'ida, while he dismissed the crowd.

rsv@Mark:6:47 @ And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land.

rsv@Mark:6:48 @ And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them,

rsv@Mark:6:50 @ for they all saw him, and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take heart, it is I; have no fear."

rsv@Mark:6:51 @ And he got into the boat with them and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded,

rsv@Mark:6:53 @ And when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennes'aret, and moored to the shore.

rsv@Mark:6:54 @ And when they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,

rsv@Mark:6:56 @ And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or country, they laid the sick in the market places, and besought him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.

rsv@Mark:7:1 @ Now when the Pharisees gathered together to him, with some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,

rsv@Mark:7:2 @ they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands defiled, that is, unwashed.

rsv@Mark:7:3 @ (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they wash their hands, observing the tradition of the elders;

rsv@Mark:7:4 @ and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they purify themselves; and there are many other traditions which they observe, the washing of cups and pots and vessels of bronze.)

rsv@Mark:7:5 @ And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with hands defiled?"

rsv@Mark:7:10 @ For Moses said, `Honor your father and your mother'; and, `He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him surely die';

rsv@Mark:7:11 @ but you say, `If a man tells his father or his mother, What you would have gained from me is Corban' (that is, given to God)--

rsv@Mark:7:12 @ then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother,

rsv@Mark:7:15 @ there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him."

rsv@Mark:7:17 @ And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him,

rsv@Mark:7:19 @ And he said, "What comes out of a man is what defiles a man.

rsv@Mark:7:20 @ For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery,

rsv@Mark:7:24 @ But immediately a woman, whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell down at his feet.

rsv@Mark:7:27 @ But she answered him, "Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."

rsv@Mark:7:32 @ And taking him aside from the multitude privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue;

rsv@Mark:7:33 @ and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Eph'phatha," that is, "Be opened."

rsv@Mark:8:1 @ In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him, and said to them,

rsv@Mark:8:2 @ "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat;

rsv@Mark:8:7 @ And they had a few small fish; and having blessed them, he commanded that these also should be set before them.

rsv@Mark:8:8 @ And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.

rsv@Mark:8:10 @ And he sent them away; and immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and went to the district of Dalmanu'tha.

rsv@Mark:8:12 @ And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."

rsv@Mark:8:13 @ And he left them, and getting into the boat again he departed to the other side.

rsv@Mark:8:14 @ Now they had forgotten to bring bread; and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.

rsv@Mark:8:17 @ And being aware of it, Jesus said to them, "Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened?

rsv@Mark:8:27 @ And Jesus went on with his disciples, to the villages of Caesare'a Philip'pi; and on the way he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?"

rsv@Mark:8:29 @ And he asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Christ."

rsv@Mark:8:31 @ And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

rsv@Mark:8:33 @ But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you are not on the side of God, but of men."

rsv@Mark:8:36 @ For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?

rsv@Mark:8:37 @ For what can a man give in return for his life?

rsv@Mark:8:38 @ For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

rsv@Mark:9:1 @ And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power."

rsv@Mark:9:5 @ And Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah."

rsv@Mark:9:6 @ For he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid.

rsv@Mark:9:9 @ And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of man should have risen from the dead.

rsv@Mark:9:10 @ So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.

rsv@Mark:9:11 @ And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that first Eli'jah must come?"

rsv@Mark:9:12 @ And he said to them, "Eli'jah does come first to restore all things; and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

rsv@Mark:9:13 @ But I tell you that Eli'jah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him."

rsv@Mark:9:14 @ And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd about them, and scribes arguing with them.

rsv@Mark:9:15 @ And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and ran up to him and greeted him.

rsv@Mark:9:16 @ And he asked them, "What are you discussing with them?"

rsv@Mark:9:19 @ And he answered them, "O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me."

rsv@Mark:9:20 @ And they brought the boy to him; and when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

rsv@Mark:9:21 @ And Jesus asked his father, "How long has he had this?" And he said, "From childhood.

rsv@Mark:9:22 @ And it has often cast him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us."

rsv@Mark:9:24 @ Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief!"

rsv@Mark:9:25 @ And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again."

rsv@Mark:9:26 @ And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse; so that most of them said, "He is dead."

rsv@Mark:9:28 @ And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"

rsv@Mark:9:33 @ And they came to Caper'na-um; and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you discussing on the way?"

rsv@Mark:9:34 @ But they were silent; for on the way they had discussed with one another who was the greatest.

rsv@Mark:9:35 @ And he sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any one would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."

rsv@Mark:9:40 @ For he that is not against us is for us.

rsv@Mark:9:41 @ For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward.

rsv@Mark:9:42 @ "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

rsv@Mark:9:48 @ Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its saltness, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

rsv@Mark:10:1 @ And he left there and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered to him again; and again, as his custom was, he taught them.

rsv@Mark:10:3 @ He answered them, "What did Moses command you?"

rsv@Mark:10:4 @ They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to put her away."

rsv@Mark:10:6 @ But from the beginning of creation, `God made them male and female.'

rsv@Mark:10:7 @ `For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,

rsv@Mark:10:9 @ What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."

rsv@Mark:10:10 @ And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter.

rsv@Mark:10:13 @ And they were bringing children to him, that he might touch them; and the disciples rebuked them.

rsv@Mark:10:17 @ And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

rsv@Mark:10:19 @ You know the commandments: `Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.'"

rsv@Mark:10:21 @ And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

rsv@Mark:10:22 @ At that saying his countenance fell, and he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.

rsv@Mark:10:24 @ And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

rsv@Mark:10:27 @ Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God."

rsv@Mark:10:29 @ Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel,

rsv@Mark:10:31 @ But many that are first will be last, and the last first."

rsv@Mark:10:32 @ And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him,

rsv@Mark:10:33 @ saying, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him to the Gentiles;

rsv@Mark:10:35 @ And James and John, the sons of Zeb'edee, came forward to him, and said to him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you."

rsv@Mark:10:37 @ And they said to him, "Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory."

rsv@Mark:10:38 @ But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?"

rsv@Mark:10:39 @ And they said to him, "We are able." And Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized;

rsv@Mark:10:40 @ but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared."

rsv@Mark:10:41 @ And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John.

rsv@Mark:10:42 @ And Jesus called them to him and said to them, "You know that those who are supposed to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.

rsv@Mark:10:43 @ But it shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant,

rsv@Mark:10:47 @ And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

rsv@Mark:10:51 @ And Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?" And the blind man said to him, "Master, let me receive my sight."

rsv@Mark:10:52 @ And Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way.

rsv@Mark:11:1 @ And when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Beth'phage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

rsv@Mark:11:2 @ and said to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat; untie it and bring it.

rsv@Mark:11:3 @ If any one says to you, `Why are you doing this?' say, `The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.'"

rsv@Mark:11:4 @ And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door out in the open street; and they untied it.

rsv@Mark:11:5 @ And those who stood there said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

rsv@Mark:11:6 @ And they told them what Jesus had said; and they let them go.

rsv@Mark:11:7 @ And they brought the colt to Jesus, and threw their garments on it; and he sat upon it.

rsv@Mark:11:10 @ Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming! Hosanna in the highest!"

rsv@Mark:11:11 @ And he entered Jerusalem, and went into the temple; and when he had looked round at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

rsv@Mark:11:14 @ And he said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard it.

rsv@Mark:11:15 @ And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons;

rsv@Mark:11:17 @ And he taught, and said to them, "Is it not written, `My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers."

rsv@Mark:11:18 @ And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and sought a way to destroy him; for they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

rsv@Mark:11:23 @ Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, `Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.

rsv@Mark:11:24 @ Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

rsv@Mark:11:25 @ And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against any one; so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

rsv@Mark:11:27 @ and they said to him, "By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?"

rsv@Mark:11:28 @ Jesus said to them, "I will ask you a question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

rsv@Mark:11:31 @ But shall we say, `From men'?"--they were afraid of the people, for all held that John was a real prophet.

rsv@Mark:11:32 @ So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

rsv@Mark:12:3 @ And they took him and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

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

rsv@Mark:12:5 @ And he sent another, and him they killed; and so with many others, some they beat and some they killed.

rsv@Mark:12:9 @ What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants, and give the vineyard to others.

rsv@Mark:12:12 @ And they tried to arrest him, but feared the multitude, for they perceived that he had told the parable against them; so they left him and went away.

rsv@Mark:12:14 @ And they came and said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are true, and care for no man; for you do not regard the position of men, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

rsv@Mark:12:15 @ Should we pay them, or should we not?" But knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, "Why put me to the test? Bring me a coin, and let me look at it."

rsv@Mark:12:17 @ Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they were amazed at him.

rsv@Mark:12:18 @ And Sad'ducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him a question, saying,

rsv@Mark:12:19 @ "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the wife, and raise up children for his brother.

rsv@Mark:12:24 @ Jesus said to them, "Is not this why you are wrong, that you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God?

rsv@Mark:12:28 @ And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the first of all?"

rsv@Mark:12:31 @ The second is this, `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

rsv@Mark:12:32 @ And the scribe said to him, "You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that he is one, and there is no other but he;

rsv@Mark:12:34 @ And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And after that no one dared to ask him any question.

rsv@Mark:12:35 @ And as Jesus taught in the temple, he said, "How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

rsv@Mark:12:36 @ David himself, inspired by the Holy Spirit, declared, `The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put thy enemies under thy feet.'

rsv@Mark:12:37 @ David himself calls him Lord; so how is he his son?" And the great throng heard him gladly.

rsv@Mark:12:38 @ And in his teaching he said, "Beware of the scribes, who like to go about in long robes, and to have salutations in the market places

rsv@Mark:12:39 @ and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,

rsv@Mark:12:40 @ who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."

rsv@Mark:12:41 @ And he sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the multitude putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums.

rsv@Mark:13:1 @ And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!"

rsv@Mark:13:2 @ And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down."

rsv@Mark:13:3 @ And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

rsv@Mark:13:4 @ "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign when these things are all to be accomplished?"

rsv@Mark:13:5 @ And Jesus began to say to them, "Take heed that no one leads you astray.

rsv@Mark:13:8 @ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places, there will be famines; this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs.

rsv@Mark:13:11 @ And when they bring you to trial and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say; but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

rsv@Mark:13:37 @ And what I say to you I say to all: Watch."

rsv@Mark:14:3 @ And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head.

rsv@Mark:14:8 @ She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burying.

rsv@Mark:14:9 @ And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her."

rsv@Mark:14:12 @ And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the passover lamb, his disciples said to him, "Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the passover?"

rsv@Mark:14:13 @ And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him,

rsv@Mark:14:18 @ And as they were at table eating, Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me."

rsv@Mark:14:21 @ For the Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."

rsv@Mark:14:22 @ And as they were eating, he took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take; this is my body."

rsv@Mark:14:25 @ Truly, I say to you, I shall not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

rsv@Mark:14:27 @ And Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away; for it is written, `I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'

rsv@Mark:14:33 @ And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled.

rsv@Mark:14:34 @ And he said to them, "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch."

rsv@Mark:14:35 @ And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

rsv@Mark:14:36 @ And he said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; remove this cup from me; yet not what I will, but what thou wilt."

rsv@Mark:14:37 @ And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?

rsv@Mark:14:38 @ Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

rsv@Mark:14:40 @ And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer him.

rsv@Mark:14:42 @ Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand."

rsv@Mark:14:43 @ And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

rsv@Mark:14:45 @ And when he came, he went up to him at once, and said, "Master!" And he kissed him.

rsv@Mark:14:54 @ And Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the guards, and warming himself at the fire.

rsv@Mark:14:55 @ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus to put him to death; but they found none.

rsv@Mark:14:58 @ "We heard him say, `I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.'"

rsv@Mark:14:60 @ And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?"

rsv@Mark:14:62 @ And Jesus said, "I am; and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."

rsv@Mark:14:64 @ You have heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?" And they all condemned him as deserving death.

rsv@Mark:14:67 @ and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus."

rsv@Mark:14:68 @ But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you mean." And he went out into the gateway.

rsv@Mark:14:72 @ And immediately the cock crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, "Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times." And he broke down and wept.

rsv@Mark:15:1 @ And as soon as it was morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council held a consultation; and they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him to Pilate.

rsv@Mark:15:2 @ And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so."

rsv@Mark:15:4 @ And Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you."

rsv@Mark:15:5 @ But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate wondered.

rsv@Mark:15:6 @ Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked.

rsv@Mark:15:8 @ And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he was wont to do for them.

rsv@Mark:15:10 @ For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up.

rsv@Mark:15:12 @ And Pilate again said to them, "Then what shall I do with the man whom you call the King of the Jews?"

rsv@Mark:15:14 @ And Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify him."

rsv@Mark:15:15 @ So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barab'bas; and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

rsv@Mark:15:16 @ And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the praetorium); and they called together the whole battalion.

rsv@Mark:15:19 @ And they struck his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and they knelt down in homage to him.

rsv@Mark:15:21 @ And they compelled a passer-by, Simon of Cyre'ne, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.

rsv@Mark:15:24 @ And they crucified him, and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take.

rsv@Mark:15:31 @ Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

rsv@Mark:15:33 @ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "E'lo-i, E'lo-i, la'ma sabach-tha'ni?" which means, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

rsv@Mark:15:36 @ And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed his last.

rsv@Mark:15:38 @ And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that he thus breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

rsv@Mark:15:41 @ And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

rsv@Mark:15:42 @ Joseph of Arimathe'a, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

rsv@Mark:15:43 @ And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead.

rsv@Mark:15:44 @ And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph.

rsv@Mark:16:1 @ And when the sabbath was past, Mary Mag'dalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salo'me, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.

rsv@Mark:16:4 @ And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; --it was very large.

rsv@Mark:16:7 @ But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you."

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

rsv@Mark:16:14 @ Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they sat at table; and he upbraided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen.

rsv@Mark:16:15 @ And he said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.

rsv@Mark:16:19 @ So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

rsv@Luke:1:22 @ And when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them and remained dumb.

rsv@Luke:1:29 @ But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be.

rsv@Luke:1:32 @ He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David,

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

rsv@Luke:1:67 @ And his father Zechari'ah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,

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

rsv@Luke:1:71 @ that we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us;

rsv@Luke:8:28 @ When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you, do not torment me."

rsv@Luke:23:28 @ For behold, the days are coming when they will say, `Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave suck!'

rsv@Luke:23:30 @ For if they do this when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?"

rsv@Luke:23:31 @ Two others also, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him.

rsv@Luke:23:33 @ And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." And they cast lots to divide his garments.

rsv@Luke:23:34 @ And the people stood by, watching; but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!"

rsv@Luke:23:38 @ One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!"

rsv@Luke:23:39 @ But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

rsv@Luke:23:45 @ Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit!" And having said this he breathed his last.

rsv@Luke:23:46 @ Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God, and said, "Certainly this man was innocent!"

rsv@Luke:23:47 @ And all the multitudes who assembled to see the sight, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts.

rsv@Luke:23:48 @ And all his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Galilee stood at a distance and saw these things.

rsv@Luke:23:49 @ Now there was a man named Joseph from the Jewish town of Arimathe'a. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man,

rsv@Luke:24:16 @ And he said to them, "What is this conversation which you are holding with each other as you walk?" And they stood still, looking sad.

rsv@Luke:24:17 @ Then one of them, named Cle'opas, answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?"

rsv@Luke:24:18 @ And he said to them, "What things?" And they said to him, "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,

rsv@Luke:24:19 @ and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

rsv@Luke:24:20 @ But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since this happened.

rsv@Luke:24:21 @ Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning

rsv@Luke:24:22 @ and did not find his body; and they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

rsv@Luke:24:24 @ And he said to them, "O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

rsv@Luke:24:25 @ Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?"

rsv@Luke:24:29 @ When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them.

rsv@Luke:24:32 @ And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them,

rsv@Luke:24:34 @ Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

rsv@Luke:24:36 @ But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit.

rsv@Luke:24:38 @ See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have."

rsv@Luke:24:39 @ And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?"

rsv@Luke:24:41 @ and he took it and ate before them.

rsv@Luke:24:42 @ Then he said to them, "These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled."

rsv@Luke:24:44 @ and said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead,

rsv@Luke:24:45 @ and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

rsv@Luke:24:47 @ And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city, until you are clothed with power from on high."

rsv@Luke:24:50 @ And they returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

rsv@John:1:3 @ all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.

rsv@John:1:7 @ He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him.

rsv@John:1:9 @ The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world.

rsv@John:1:14 @ And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.

rsv@John:1:18 @ No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.

rsv@John:1:21 @ And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" And he answered, "No."

rsv@John:1:22 @ They said to him then, "Who are you? Let us have an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

rsv@John:1:26 @ John answered them, "I baptize with water; but among you stands one whom you do not know,

rsv@John:1:31 @ I myself did not know him; but for this I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel."

rsv@John:1:33 @ I myself did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, `He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

rsv@John:1:34 @ And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God."

rsv@John:1:36 @ and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

rsv@John:1:38 @ Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What do you seek?" And they said to him, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

rsv@John:1:39 @ He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

rsv@John:1:42 @ He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter).

rsv@John:1:45 @ Philip found Nathan'a-el, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

rsv@John:1:46 @ Nathan'a-el said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

rsv@John:1:47 @ Jesus saw Nathan'a-el coming to him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!"

rsv@John:1:48 @ Nathan'a-el said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

rsv@John:1:49 @ Nathan'a-el answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"

rsv@John:1:50 @ Jesus answered him, "Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these."

rsv@John:2:1 @ On the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;

rsv@John:2:4 @ And Jesus said to her, "O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come."

rsv@John:2:5 @ His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."

rsv@John:2:6 @ Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

rsv@John:2:7 @ Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim.

rsv@John:2:9 @ When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom

rsv@John:2:11 @ This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

rsv@John:2:13 @ The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

rsv@John:2:14 @ In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers at their business.

rsv@John:2:16 @ And he told those who sold the pigeons, "Take these things away; you shall not make my Father's house a house of trade."

rsv@John:2:17 @ His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for thy house will consume me."

rsv@John:2:18 @ The Jews then said to him, "What sign have you to show us for doing this?"

rsv@John:2:22 @ When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

rsv@John:2:23 @ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did;

rsv@John:2:25 @ because he knew all men and needed no one to bear witness of man; for he himself knew what was in man.

rsv@John:3:2 @ This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him."

rsv@John:3:5 @ Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

rsv@John:3:16 @ For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

rsv@John:3:17 @ For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.

rsv@John:3:19 @ And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

rsv@John:3:20 @ For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

rsv@John:3:21 @ But he who does what is true comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been wrought in God.

rsv@John:3:23 @ John also was baptizing at Ae'non near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were baptized.

rsv@John:3:27 @ John answered, "No one can receive anything except what is given him from heaven.

rsv@John:3:29 @ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice; therefore this joy of mine is now full.

rsv@John:3:32 @ He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony;

rsv@John:3:33 @ he who receives his testimony sets his seal to this, that God is true.

rsv@John:3:34 @ For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for it is not by measure that he gives the Spirit;

rsv@John:3:36 @ He who believes in the Son has eternal life; he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God rests upon him.

rsv@John:4:1 @ Now when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

rsv@John:4:5 @ So he came to a city of Samar'ia, called Sy'char, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

rsv@John:4:6 @ Jacob's well was there, and so Jesus, wearied as he was with his journey, sat down beside the well. It was about the sixth hour.

rsv@John:4:7 @ There came a woman of Samar'ia to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."

rsv@John:4:9 @ The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samar'ia?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

rsv@John:4:10 @ Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, `Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

rsv@John:4:11 @ The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; where do you get that living water?

rsv@John:4:12 @ Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?"

rsv@John:4:13 @ Jesus said to her, "Every one who drinks of this water will thirst again,

rsv@John:4:14 @ but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst; the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

rsv@John:4:15 @ The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."

rsv@John:4:19 @ The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

rsv@John:4:20 @ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain; and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."

rsv@John:4:21 @ Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

rsv@John:4:22 @ You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.

rsv@John:4:23 @ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him.

rsv@John:4:25 @ The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ); when he comes, he will show us all things."

rsv@John:4:27 @ Just then his disciples came. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but none said, "What do you wish?" or, "Why are you talking with her?"

rsv@John:4:28 @ So the woman left her water jar, and went away into the city, and said to the people,

rsv@John:4:29 @ "Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?"

rsv@John:4:31 @ Meanwhile the disciples besought him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."

rsv@John:4:32 @ But he said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."

rsv@John:4:36 @ He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.

rsv@John:4:38 @ I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."

rsv@John:4:39 @ Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me all that I ever did."

rsv@John:4:42 @ They said to the woman, "It is no longer because of your words that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world."

rsv@John:4:44 @ For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

rsv@John:4:45 @ So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they too had gone to the feast.

rsv@John:4:46 @ So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Caper'na-um there was an official whose son was ill.

rsv@John:4:47 @ When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

rsv@John:4:50 @ Jesus said to him, "Go; your son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went his way.

rsv@John:4:51 @ As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his son was living.

rsv@John:4:52 @ So he asked them the hour when he began to mend, and they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

rsv@John:4:53 @ The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live"; and he himself believed, and all his household.

rsv@John:4:54 @ This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.

rsv@John:5:2 @ Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Hebrew called Beth-za'tha, which has five porticoes.

rsv@John:5:5 @ When Jesus saw him and knew that he had been lying there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be healed?"

rsv@John:5:6 @ The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled, and while I am going another steps down before me."

rsv@John:5:8 @ And at once the man was healed, and he took up his pallet and walked. Now that day was the sabbath.

rsv@John:5:9 @ So the Jews said to the man who was cured, "It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry your pallet."

rsv@John:5:13 @ Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse befall you."

rsv@John:5:14 @ The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.

rsv@John:5:15 @ And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the sabbath.

rsv@John:5:16 @ But Jesus answered them, "My Father is working still, and I am working."

rsv@John:5:17 @ This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.

rsv@John:5:18 @ Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, that the Son does likewise.

rsv@John:5:19 @ For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself is doing; and greater works than these will he show him, that you may marvel.

rsv@John:5:20 @ For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.

rsv@John:5:21 @ The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,

rsv@John:5:22 @ that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

rsv@John:5:23 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

rsv@John:5:25 @ For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself,

rsv@John:5:27 @ Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

rsv@John:5:31 @ there is another who bears witness to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is true.

rsv@John:5:33 @ Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved.

rsv@John:5:35 @ But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear me witness that the Father has sent me.

rsv@John:5:36 @ And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen;

rsv@John:5:38 @ You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me;

rsv@John:5:39 @ yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.

rsv@John:5:41 @ But I know that you have not the love of God within you.

rsv@John:5:42 @ I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

rsv@John:5:43 @ How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

rsv@John:5:44 @ Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope.

rsv@John:6:3 @ Jesus went up on the mountain, and there sat down with his disciples.

rsv@John:6:4 @ Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

rsv@John:6:5 @ Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a multitude was coming to him, Jesus said to Philip, "How are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?"

rsv@John:6:6 @ This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

rsv@John:6:9 @ "There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what are they among so many?"

rsv@John:6:10 @ Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

rsv@John:6:11 @ Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.

rsv@John:6:12 @ And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, "Gather up the fragments left over, that nothing may be lost."

rsv@John:6:13 @ So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten.

rsv@John:6:15 @ Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

rsv@John:6:17 @ got into a boat, and started across the sea to Caper'na-um. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

rsv@John:6:19 @ When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat. They were frightened,

rsv@John:6:21 @ Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

rsv@John:6:22 @ On the next day the people who remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.

rsv@John:6:23 @ However, boats from Tiber'i-as came near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

rsv@John:6:24 @ So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and went to Caper'na-um, seeking Jesus.

rsv@John:6:26 @ Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.

rsv@John:6:27 @ Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you; for on him has God the Father set his seal."

rsv@John:6:28 @ Then they said to him, "What must we do, to be doing the works of God?"

rsv@John:6:29 @ Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."

rsv@John:6:30 @ So they said to him, "Then what sign do you do, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you perform?

rsv@John:6:31 @ Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, `He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"

rsv@John:6:32 @ Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

rsv@John:6:33 @ For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world."

rsv@John:6:36 @ But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.

rsv@John:6:37 @ All that the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will not cast out.

rsv@John:6:39 @ and this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day.

rsv@John:6:40 @ For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

rsv@John:6:41 @ The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven."

rsv@John:6:42 @ They said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, `I have come down from heaven'?"

rsv@John:6:44 @ No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

rsv@John:6:45 @ It is written in the prophets, `And they shall all be taught by God.' Every one who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.

rsv@John:6:46 @ Not that any one has seen the Father except him who is from God; he has seen the Father.

rsv@John:6:49 @ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

rsv@John:6:50 @ This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die.

rsv@John:6:51 @ I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh."

rsv@John:6:52 @ The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

rsv@John:6:53 @ So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you;

rsv@John:6:54 @ he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

rsv@John:6:56 @ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.

rsv@John:6:57 @ As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.

rsv@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down from heaven, not such as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live for ever."

rsv@John:6:59 @ This he said in the synagogue, as he taught at Caper'na-um.

rsv@John:6:61 @ But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said to them, "Do you take offense at this?

rsv@John:6:62 @ Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending where he was before?

rsv@John:6:63 @ It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

rsv@John:6:64 @ But there are some of you that do not believe." For Jesus knew from the first who those were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him.

rsv@John:6:65 @ And he said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father."

rsv@John:6:69 @ and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God."

rsv@John:7:2 @ Now the Jews' feast of Tabernacles was at hand.

rsv@John:7:3 @ So his brothers said to him, "Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples may see the works you are doing.

rsv@John:7:7 @ The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify of it that its works are evil.

rsv@John:7:10 @ But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private.

rsv@John:7:11 @ The Jews were looking for him at the feast, and saying, "Where is he?"

rsv@John:7:15 @ The Jews marveled at it, saying, "How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?"

rsv@John:7:21 @ Jesus answered them, "I did one deed, and you all marvel at it.

rsv@John:7:22 @ Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man upon the sabbath.

rsv@John:7:23 @ If on the sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the sabbath I made a man's whole body well?

rsv@John:7:26 @ And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ?

rsv@John:7:35 @ The Jews said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we shall not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

rsv@John:7:36 @ What does he mean by saying, `You will seek me and you will not find me,' and, `Where I am you cannot come'?"

rsv@John:7:37 @ On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and proclaimed, "If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink.

rsv@John:7:38 @ He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, `Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.'"

rsv@John:7:42 @ Has not the scripture said that the Christ is descended from David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

rsv@John:7:51 @ "Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does?"

rsv@John:7:52 @ They replied, "Are you from Galilee too? Search and you will see that no prophet is to rise from Galilee."

rsv@John:8:2 @ Early in the morning he came again to the temple; all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.

rsv@John:8:5 @ Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say about her?"

rsv@John:8:6 @ This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.

rsv@John:8:7 @ And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."

rsv@John:8:16 @ Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for it is not I alone that judge, but I and he who sent me.

rsv@John:8:17 @ In your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true;

rsv@John:8:18 @ I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me."

rsv@John:8:19 @ They said to him therefore, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father also."

rsv@John:8:24 @ I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he."

rsv@John:8:25 @ They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Even what I have told you from the beginning.

rsv@John:8:26 @ I have much to say about you and much to judge; but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him."

rsv@John:8:27 @ They did not understand that he spoke to them of the Father.

rsv@John:8:28 @ So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority but speak thus as the Father taught me.

rsv@John:8:29 @ And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him."

rsv@John:8:33 @ They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham, and have never been in bondage to any one. How is it that you say, `You will be made free'?"

rsv@John:8:37 @ I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

rsv@John:8:38 @ I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father."

rsv@John:8:39 @ They answered him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do what Abraham did,

rsv@John:8:40 @ but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God; this is not what Abraham did.

rsv@John:8:41 @ You do what your father did." They said to him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God."

rsv@John:8:42 @ Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded and came forth from God; I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.

rsv@John:8:43 @ Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word.

rsv@John:8:44 @ You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

rsv@John:8:47 @ He who is of God hears the words of God; the reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God."

rsv@John:8:48 @ The Jews answered him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

rsv@John:8:49 @ Jesus answered, "I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

rsv@John:8:51 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, if any one keeps my word, he will never see death."

rsv@John:8:52 @ The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, `If any one keeps my word, he will never taste death.'

rsv@John:8:53 @ Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you claim to be?"

rsv@John:8:54 @ Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is your God.

rsv@John:8:56 @ Your father Abraham rejoiced that he was to see my day; he saw it and was glad."

rsv@John:8:59 @ So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

rsv@John:9:2 @ And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

rsv@John:9:3 @ Jesus answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.

rsv@John:9:6 @ As he said this, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and anointed the man's eyes with the clay,

rsv@John:9:14 @ Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

rsv@John:9:16 @ Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was a division among them.

rsv@John:9:17 @ So they again said to the blind man, "What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

rsv@John:9:18 @ The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight,

rsv@John:9:20 @ His parents answered, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

rsv@John:9:22 @ His parents said this because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one should confess him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.

rsv@John:9:24 @ So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, "Give God the praise; we know that this man is a sinner."

rsv@John:9:25 @ He answered, "Whether he is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see."

rsv@John:9:26 @ They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"

rsv@John:9:29 @ We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from."

rsv@John:9:31 @ We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any one is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him.

rsv@John:9:32 @ Never since the world began has it been heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

rsv@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him he said, "Do you believe in the Son of man?"

rsv@John:9:36 @ He answered, "And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?"

rsv@John:9:39 @ Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind."

rsv@John:9:41 @ Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no guilt; but now that you say, `We see,' your guilt remains.

rsv@John:10:1 @ "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber;

rsv@John:10:3 @ To him the gatekeeper opens; the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

rsv@John:10:6 @ This figure Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

rsv@John:10:10 @ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

rsv@John:10:12 @ He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.

rsv@John:10:15 @ as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

rsv@John:10:16 @ And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd.

rsv@John:10:17 @ For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

rsv@John:10:18 @ No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this charge I have received from my Father."

rsv@John:10:22 @ It was the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem;

rsv@John:10:24 @ So the Jews gathered round him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."

rsv@John:10:25 @ Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness to me;

rsv@John:10:28 @ and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.

rsv@John:10:29 @ My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

rsv@John:10:30 @ I and the Father are one."

rsv@John:10:32 @ Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of these do you stone me?"

rsv@John:10:33 @ The Jews answered him, "It is not for a good work that we stone you but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself God."

rsv@John:10:36 @ do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, `You are blaspheming,' because I said, `I am the Son of God'?

rsv@John:10:37 @ If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me;

rsv@John:10:38 @ but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."

rsv@John:10:40 @ He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John at first baptized, and there he remained.

rsv@John:10:41 @ And many came to him; and they said, "John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true."

rsv@John:11:4 @ But when Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death; it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by means of it."

rsv@John:11:6 @ So when he heard that he was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.

rsv@John:11:13 @ Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep.

rsv@John:11:15 @ and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."

rsv@John:11:16 @ Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with him."

rsv@John:11:17 @ Now when Jesus came, he found that Laz'arus had already been in the tomb four days.

rsv@John:11:20 @ When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary sat in the house.

rsv@John:11:22 @ And even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you."

rsv@John:11:24 @ Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

rsv@John:11:27 @ She said to him, "Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, he who is coming into the world."

rsv@John:11:31 @ When the Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

rsv@John:11:32 @ Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

rsv@John:11:40 @ Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"

rsv@John:11:41 @ So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, "Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

rsv@John:11:42 @ I knew that thou hearest me always, but I have said this on account of the people standing by, that they may believe that thou didst send me."

rsv@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him;

rsv@John:11:46 @ but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

rsv@John:11:47 @ So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council, and said, "What are we to do? For this man performs many signs.

rsv@John:11:48 @ If we let him go on thus, every one will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our holy place and our nation."

rsv@John:11:49 @ But one of them, Ca'iaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all;

rsv@John:11:50 @ you do not understand that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish."

rsv@John:11:51 @ He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation,

rsv@John:11:52 @ and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

rsv@John:11:53 @ So from that day on they took counsel how to put him to death.

rsv@John:11:55 @ Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

rsv@John:11:56 @ They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?"

rsv@John:11:57 @ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if any one knew where he was, he should let them know, so that they might arrest him.

rsv@John:12:2 @ There they made him a supper; Martha served, and Laz'arus was one of those at table with him.

rsv@John:12:6 @ This he said, not that he cared for the poor but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box he used to take what was put into it.

rsv@John:12:9 @ When the great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, they came, not only on account of Jesus but also to see Laz'arus, whom he had raised from the dead.

rsv@John:12:10 @ So the chief priests planned to put Laz'arus also to death,

rsv@John:12:12 @ The next day a great crowd who had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

rsv@John:12:14 @ And Jesus found a young ass and sat upon it; as it is written,

rsv@John:12:16 @ His disciples did not understand this at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that this had been written of him and had been done to him.

rsv@John:12:17 @ The crowd that had been with him when he called Laz'arus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead bore witness.

rsv@John:12:18 @ The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign.

rsv@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees then said to one another, "You see that you can do nothing; look, the world has gone after him."

rsv@John:12:20 @ Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks.

rsv@John:12:24 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

rsv@John:12:25 @ He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

rsv@John:12:26 @ If any one serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; if any one serves me, the Father will honor him.

rsv@John:12:29 @ The crowd standing by heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."

rsv@John:12:33 @ He said this to show by what death he was to die.

rsv@John:12:34 @ The crowd answered him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains for ever. How can you say that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?"

rsv@John:12:36 @ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." When Jesus had said this, he departed and hid himself from them.

rsv@John:12:48 @ He who rejects me and does not receive my sayings has a judge; the word that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day.

rsv@John:13:5 @ Then he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.

rsv@John:13:7 @ Jesus answered him, "What I am doing you do not know now, but afterward you will understand."

rsv@John:13:10 @ Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but he is clean all over; and you are clean, but not every one of you."

rsv@John:13:28 @ Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him.

rsv@John:13:29 @ Some thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the feast"; or, that he should give something to the poor.

rsv@John:13:30 @ So, after receiving the morsel, he immediately went out; and it was night.

rsv@John:13:32 @ if God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once.

rsv@John:14:3 @ And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

rsv@John:14:6 @ Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.

rsv@John:17:14 @ I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

rsv@John:17:15 @ I do not pray that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil one.

rsv@John:17:25 @ O righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee; and these know that thou hast sent me.

rsv@John:17:26 @ I made known to them thy name, and I will make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them."

rsv@John:18:4 @ Then Jesus, knowing all that was to befall him, came forward and said to them, "Whom do you seek?"

rsv@John:18:8 @ Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he; so, if you seek me, let these men go."

rsv@John:18:11 @ Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?"

rsv@John:18:13 @ First they led him to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Ca'iaphas, who was high priest that year.

rsv@John:18:14 @ It was Ca'iaphas who had given counsel to the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

rsv@John:18:16 @ while Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the maid who kept the door, and brought Peter in.

rsv@John:18:21 @ Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me, what I said to them; they know what I said."

rsv@John:18:22 @ When he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, "Is that how you answer the high priest?"

rsv@John:18:27 @ Peter again denied it; and at once the cock crowed.

rsv@John:18:28 @ Then they led Jesus from the house of Ca'iaphas to the praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not enter the praetorium, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

rsv@John:18:29 @ So Pilate went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"

rsv@John:18:31 @ Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put any man to death."

rsv@John:18:32 @ This was to fulfil the word which Jesus had spoken to show by what death he was to die.

rsv@John:18:33 @ Pilate entered the praetorium again and called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

rsv@John:18:35 @ Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me; what have you done?"

rsv@John:18:36 @ Jesus answered, "My kingship is not of this world; if my kingship were of this world, my servants would fight, that I might not be handed over to the Jews; but my kingship is not from the world."

rsv@John:18:37 @ Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice."

rsv@John:18:38 @ Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again, and told them, "I find no crime in him.

rsv@John:18:39 @ But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover; will you have me release for you the King of the Jews?"

rsv@John:19:1 @ Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.

rsv@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."

rsv@John:19:5 @ So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold the man!"

rsv@John:19:6 @ When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no crime in him."

rsv@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he has made himself the Son of God."

rsv@John:19:8 @ When Pilate heard these words, he was the more afraid;

rsv@John:19:10 @ Pilate therefore said to him, "You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?"

rsv@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered him, "You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore he who delivered me to you has the greater sin."

rsv@John:19:12 @ Upon this Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend; every one who makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar."

rsv@John:19:13 @ When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, and in Hebrew, Gab'batha.

rsv@John:19:14 @ Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"

rsv@John:19:15 @ They cried out, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."

rsv@John:19:19 @ Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the cross; it read, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews."

rsv@John:19:20 @ Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

rsv@John:19:21 @ The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, "Do not write, `The King of the Jews,' but, `This man said, I am King of the Jews.'"

rsv@John:19:22 @ Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written."

rsv@John:19:27 @ Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

rsv@John:19:28 @ After this Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfil the scripture), "I thirst."

rsv@John:19:31 @ Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

rsv@John:19:33 @ but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

rsv@John:19:34 @ But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.

rsv@John:19:35 @ He who saw it has borne witness--his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth--that you also may believe.

rsv@John:19:36 @ For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of him shall be broken."

rsv@John:19:38 @ After this Joseph of Arimathe'a, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took away his body.

rsv@John:19:39 @ Nicode'mus also, who had at first come to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds' weight.

rsv@John:19:42 @ So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

rsv@John:20:1 @ Now on the first day of the week Mary Mag'dalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

rsv@John:20:9 @ for as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

rsv@John:20:12 @ and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet.

rsv@John:20:14 @ Saying this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

rsv@John:20:17 @ Jesus said to her, "Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."

rsv@John:20:18 @ Mary Mag'dalene went and said to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord"; and she told them that he had said these things to her.

rsv@John:20:19 @ On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."

rsv@John:20:21 @ Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you."

rsv@John:20:22 @ And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

rsv@John:20:26 @ Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, "Peace be with you."

rsv@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will go with you." They went out and got into the boat; but that night they caught nothing.

rsv@John:21:4 @ Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

rsv@John:21:6 @ He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, for the quantity of fish.

rsv@John:21:7 @ That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his clothes, for he was stripped for work, and sprang into the sea.

rsv@John:21:8 @ But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off.

rsv@John:21:10 @ Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish that you have just caught."

rsv@John:21:14 @ This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.

rsv@John:21:15 @ When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."

rsv@John:21:16 @ A second time he said to him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."

rsv@John:21:17 @ He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.
