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

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

rkjnt@Matthew:1:3 @ And Judah the father of Perez and Zarah by Tamar; and Perez the father of Hezron; and Hezron the father of Ram;

rkjnt@Matthew:1:4 @ And Ram the father of Amminadab; and Amminadab the father of Nahshon; and Nahshon the father of Salma;

rkjnt@Matthew:1:5 @ And Salma the father of Boaz by Rahab; and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth; and Obed the father of Jesse;

rkjnt@Matthew:1:6 @ And Jesse the father of David the king; and David the king the father of Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;

rkjnt@Matthew:1:7 @ And Solomon the father of Rehoboam; and Rehoboam the father of Abijah; and Abijah the father of Asa;

rkjnt@Matthew:1:8 @ And Asa the father of Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram; and Joram the father of Azariah;

rkjnt@Matthew:1:9 @ And Azariah the father of Jotham; and Jotham the father of Ahaz; and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah;

rkjnt@Matthew:1:10 @ And Hezekiah the father of Manasseh; and Manasseh the father of Amon; and Amon the father of Josiah;

rkjnt@Matthew:1:11 @ And Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:

rkjnt@Matthew:1:12 @ And after the exile to Babylon, Jeconiah became the father of Shealtiel; and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel;

rkjnt@Matthew:1:13 @ And Zerubbabel the father of Abiud; and Abiud the father of Eliakim; and Eliakim the father of Azor;

rkjnt@Matthew:1:14 @ And Azor the father of Zadok; and Zadok the father of Achim; and Achim the father of Eliud;

rkjnt@Matthew:1:15 @ And Eliud the father of Eleazar; and Eleazar the father of Matthan; and Matthan the father of Jacob;

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

rkjnt@Matthew:1:17 @ So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the exile to Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the exile to Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.

rkjnt@Matthew:1:18 @ Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened in this way: When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

rkjnt@Matthew:1:19 @ Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to disgrace her, decided to divorce her secretly.

rkjnt@Matthew:1:20 @ But while he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

rkjnt@Matthew:1:21 @ And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

rkjnt@Matthew:1:22 @ Now all this was done to fulfill that which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

rkjnt@Matthew:1:23 @ Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which translated means, God with us.

rkjnt@Matthew:1:24 @ Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took her as his wife:

rkjnt@Matthew:1:25 @ And kept her a virgin until she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.

rkjnt@Matthew:2:1 @ Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men came from the east to Jerusalem,

rkjnt@Matthew:2:2 @ Saying, 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.

rkjnt@Matthew:2:3 @ When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

rkjnt@Matthew:2:4 @ And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

rkjnt@Matthew:2:5 @ And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it was written by the prophet,

rkjnt@Matthew:2:6 @ And you Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of you shall come a Governor, who shall rule my people Israel.

rkjnt@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, ascertained from them at what time the star appeared.

rkjnt@Matthew:2:8 @ And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word, that I may come and worship him also.

rkjnt@Matthew:2:9 @ When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:2:11 @ And when they had come into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:2:13 @ And when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I bring you word: for Herod will seek the child, to destroy him.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:2:15 @ And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt I have called my son.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:2:17 @ Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

rkjnt@Matthew:2:18 @ In Rama there was heard a voice, weeping, and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be comforted, because they were no more.

rkjnt@Matthew:2:19 @ But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

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

rkjnt@Matthew:2:21 @ And he arose, and took the child and his mother, and came to the land of Israel.

rkjnt@Matthew:2:22 @ But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there: and, being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside to the regions of Galilee:

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

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

rkjnt@Matthew:3:2 @ And saying, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

rkjnt@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.

rkjnt@Matthew:3:4 @ And John had a garment of camel's hair, and a leather girdle about his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

rkjnt@Matthew:3:5 @ Then Jerusalem, and all Judaea, went out to him, and all the region around the Jordan,

rkjnt@Matthew:3:6 @ And were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.

rkjnt@Matthew:3:7 @ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come for baptism, he said to them, You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

rkjnt@Matthew:3:8 @ Therefore, bring forth fruit in keeping with repentance:

rkjnt@Matthew:3:9 @ And do not think to say to yourselves, We have Abraham as our father: for I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

rkjnt@Matthew:3:10 @ And now the axe is laid to the root of the trees: therefore every tree which does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:3:12 @ His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly clean his threshing floor, and gather his wheat into the barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:3:14 @ But John tried to prevent him, saying, I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?

rkjnt@Matthew:3:15 @ And Jesus answered him, Let it be so now: for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he consented.

rkjnt@Matthew:3:16 @ And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up immediately out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

rkjnt@Matthew:3:17 @ And lo, a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:4:2 @ And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.

rkjnt@Matthew:4:3 @ And when the tempter came to him, he said, If you are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

rkjnt@Matthew:4:4 @ But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

rkjnt@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple,

rkjnt@Matthew:4:6 @ And said to him, If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning you: and on their hands they shall bear you up, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:4:8 @ Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

rkjnt@Matthew:4:9 @ And said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.

rkjnt@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.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:4:12 @ Now when Jesus heard that John had been cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;

rkjnt@Matthew:4:13 @ And leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali:

rkjnt@Matthew:4:14 @ That what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled,

rkjnt@Matthew:4:15 @ The land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

rkjnt@Matthew:4:16 @ The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light; and to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, a light has sprung up.

rkjnt@Matthew:4:17 @ From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

rkjnt@Matthew:4:18 @ And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:4:20 @ And they immediately left their nets, and followed him.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:4:22 @ And they immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:4:24 @ And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought to him all sick people who were taken with various diseases and torments, those who were possessed by devils, and those who were epileptic, and paralytics; and he healed them.

rkjnt@Matthew:4:25 @ And great multitudes of people followed him from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond the Jordan.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:1 @ And seeing the multitudes, he went up on the mountain: and when he sat down, his disciples came to him:

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

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

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

rkjnt@Matthew:5:5 @ Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:6 @ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:7 @ Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

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

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

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

rkjnt@Matthew:5:11 @ Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:5:13 @ You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost its taste, with what shall it be salted? it is no longer good for anything, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:14 @ You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:15 @ Nor do men light a lamp, and put it under a bushel, but on a lampstand; and it gives light to all who are in the house.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:5:17 @ Do not think that I have come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I have not come to destroy, but to fulfill.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:18 @ For truly I say to you, Until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke, shall by any means pass away from the law, until all is fulfilled.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:19 @ Therefore, whoever shall break one of the least commandments, and shall so teach men to do, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:20 @ For I say to you, That unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall never enter into the kingdom of heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:21 @ You have heard that it was said to them of old, You shall not kill; and whoever shall kill shall be subject to judgment:

rkjnt@Matthew:5:22 @ But I say to you, That whoever is angry with his brother shall be in danger of judgment: and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whoever shall say, You fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:23 @ Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you;

rkjnt@Matthew:5:24 @ Leave your gift before the altar, and go your way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:25 @ Come to terms with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him; lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:26 @ Truly I say to you, You shall by no means come out of there, until you have paid the last farthing.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:27 @ You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery:

rkjnt@Matthew:5:28 @ But I say to you, That whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:29 @ And if your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out, and cast it from you: for it is better for you that one of your members should perish, than that your whole body should be cast into hell.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:30 @ And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is better for you that one of your members should perish, than that your whole body should be cast into hell.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:31 @ It has been said, Whoever shall divorce his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce:

rkjnt@Matthew:5:32 @ But I say to you, That whoever shall divorce his wife, except for the cause of unchastity, causes her to commit adultery: and whoever shall marry a woman who has been divorced commits adultery.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:33 @ Again, you have heard that it has been said to them of old, You shall not swear falsely, but shall fulfill your oaths to the Lord:

rkjnt@Matthew:5:34 @ But I say to you, Do not swear at all; either by heaven; for it is God's throne:

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

rkjnt@Matthew:5:36 @ Nor shall you swear by your head, because you can not make one hair white or black.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:37 @ But let your statements be, Yes for yes; No for no: for whatever is more than these comes from the evil one.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:38 @ You have heard that it has been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

rkjnt@Matthew:5:39 @ But I say to you, Do not resist evil: but whoever shall strike you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:40 @ And if any man wants to sue you, and take away your shirt, let him have your coat also.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:41 @ And whoever shall compel you to go one mile, go with him two.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:42 @ Give to him who asks from you, and do not turn away from him who would borrow from you.

rkjnt@Matthew:5:43 @ You have heard that it has been said, You shall love your neighbour, and hate your enemy.

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

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

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

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

rkjnt@Matthew:5:48 @ Therefore be perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.

rkjnt@Matthew:6:1 @ Take heed that you do not practice your righteousness before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:6:2 @ Therefore, when you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have praise from men. Truly I say to you, They have received their reward.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:6:4 @ That your alms may be in secret: and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you.

rkjnt@Matthew:6:5 @ And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and at the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have received their reward.

rkjnt@Matthew:6:6 @ But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you.

rkjnt@Matthew:6:7 @ But when you pray, do not use meaningless repetition, as the Gentiles do: for they think that they shall be heard for their many words.

rkjnt@Matthew:6:8 @ Therefore, do not be like them: for your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him.

rkjnt@Matthew:6:9 @ Therefore, pray in this manner: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be your name.

rkjnt@Matthew:6:10 @ Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:6:11 @ Give us this day our daily bread.

rkjnt@Matthew:6:12 @ And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

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

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

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

rkjnt@Matthew:6:16 @ Moreover, when you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do: for they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Truly I say to you, They have received their reward.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:6:18 @ That you may not be seen fasting by men, but by your Father who is in secret: and your Father, who sees in secret, shall reward you.

rkjnt@Matthew:6:19 @ Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal:

rkjnt@Matthew:6:20 @ But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal:

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

rkjnt@Matthew:6:22 @ The light of the body is the eye: therefore, if your eye is sound, your whole body shall be full of light.

rkjnt@Matthew:6:23 @ But if your eye is bad, your whole body shall be full of darkness. Therefore, if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

rkjnt@Matthew:6:24 @ No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

rkjnt@Matthew:6:25 @ Therefore I say to you, Do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

rkjnt@Matthew:6:26 @ Behold the birds of the air: they do not sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?

rkjnt@Matthew:6:27 @ Which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to the span of his life?

rkjnt@Matthew:6:28 @ And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they do not toil, nor do they spin:

rkjnt@Matthew:6:29 @ And yet I say to you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

rkjnt@Matthew:6:30 @ Therefore, if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O men of little faith?

rkjnt@Matthew:6:31 @ Therefore, do not be anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed?

rkjnt@Matthew:6:32 @ After all these things the Gentiles seek: but your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.

rkjnt@Matthew:6:33 @ But seek first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.

rkjnt@Matthew:6:34 @ Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow shall be anxious for itself. Sufficient for each day are the troubles of its own.

rkjnt@Matthew:7:1 @ Judge not, that you may not be judged.

rkjnt@Matthew:7:2 @ For in the manner you judge, you shall be judged: and with the measure you use, it shall be measured to you.

rkjnt@Matthew:7:3 @ And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not consider the beam that is in your own eye?

rkjnt@Matthew:7:4 @ Or how can you say to your brother, Let me pull the speck out of your eye; and, behold, a beam is in your own eye?

rkjnt@Matthew:7:5 @ You hypocrite, first remove the beam from your own eye; and then you shall see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

rkjnt@Matthew:7:6 @ Do not give that which is holy to dogs, nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

rkjnt@Matthew:7:7 @ Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you:

rkjnt@Matthew:7:8 @ For every one who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it shall be opened.

rkjnt@Matthew:7:9 @ Or what man is there among you, whom, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

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

rkjnt@Matthew:7:11 @ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him?

rkjnt@Matthew:7:12 @ Therefore, all things that you would have men do for you, do for them: for this is the law and the prophets.

rkjnt@Matthew:7:13 @ Enter in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there are who enter in by it:

rkjnt@Matthew:7:14 @ But small is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads to life, and few there are who find it.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:7:16 @ You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?

rkjnt@Matthew:7:17 @ Even so, every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a bad tree brings forth bad fruit.

rkjnt@Matthew:7:18 @ A good tree cannot bring forth bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bring forth good fruit.

rkjnt@Matthew:7:19 @ Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.

rkjnt@Matthew:7:20 @ Therefore, by their fruits you shall know them.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:7:22 @ Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name cast out devils? and in your name done many miracles?

rkjnt@Matthew:7:23 @ And then I will declare to them, I never knew you: depart from me, you who work iniquity.

rkjnt@Matthew:7:24 @ Therefore, whoever hears these words of mine, and does them, will be like a wise man, who built his house upon a rock:

rkjnt@Matthew:7:25 @ And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it did not fall: for it was founded upon a rock.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:7:27 @ And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

rkjnt@Matthew:7:28 @ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these sayings, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching:

rkjnt@Matthew:7:29 @ For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:1 @ When he had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:2 @ And, behold, there came a leper and knelt before him, saying, Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:3 @ And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I am willing; be clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:4 @ And Jesus said to him, See that you tell no man; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:5 @ And when Jesus entered into Capernaum, there came to him a centurion, begging him,

rkjnt@Matthew:8:6 @ Saying, Lord, my servant lies at home paralysed, grievously tormented.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:7 @ And Jesus said to him, I will come and heal him.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:8 @ The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy for you to come under my roof: but just speak the word, and my servant shall be healed.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:8:10 @ When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to those who followed, Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith, no, not even in Israel.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:11 @ And I say to you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall recline at table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:12 @ But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast into the outer darkness: where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:13 @ And Jesus said to the centurion, Go your way; and as you have believed, so be it done for you. And his servant was healed that same hour.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:14 @ And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:15 @ And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered to them.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:16 @ When evening had come, they brought to him many who were possessed by devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all who were sick:

rkjnt@Matthew:8:17 @ That what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, He Himself took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:18 @ Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave orders to depart to the other side.

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

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

rkjnt@Matthew:8:21 @ And another of his disciples said to him, Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:22 @ But Jesus said to him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their own dead.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:23 @ And when he entered into a boat, his disciples followed him.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:24 @ And, behold, there arose a great tempest on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:25 @ And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we are perishing.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:8:27 @ And the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

rkjnt@Matthew:8:28 @ And when he had come to the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, two men possessed by devils met him, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:29 @ And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with you, Jesus, you Son of God? have you come here to torment us before the time?

rkjnt@Matthew:8:30 @ Now there was, a good way off from them, a herd of many swine feeding.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:31 @ So the devils begged him, saying, If you cast us out, send us into the herd of swine.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:32 @ And he said to them, Go. And when they came out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep bank into the sea, and perished in the waters.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:33 @ And those who kept them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, including what happened to those possessed by the devils.

rkjnt@Matthew:8:34 @ And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they begged him that he would depart out of their region.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:1 @ And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came to his own city.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:2 @ And, behold, they brought to him a paralytic man, lying on a mat: and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic; Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:3 @ And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemes.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:9:5 @ For which is easier, to say, Your sins are forgiven you; or to say, Arise, and walk?

rkjnt@Matthew:9:6 @ But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins, (then he said to the paralytic,) Arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:7 @ And he arose, and departed to his house.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:8 @ But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:9 @ And as Jesus passed forth from there, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the tax office: and he said to him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:10 @ And it came to pass, as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax gatherers and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:11 @ And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your Teacher eat with tax gatherers and sinners?

rkjnt@Matthew:9:12 @ But when Jesus heard that, he said to them, Those who are whole do not need a physician, but those who are sick.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:13 @ But go and learn what this means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.

rkjnt@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?

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

rkjnt@Matthew:9:16 @ No man puts a piece of new cloth on an old garment, for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:17 @ Nor do men put new wine into old wineskins: for if they do, the wineskins burst, and the wine runs out, and the wineskins are destroyed: but they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:18 @ While he spoke these things to them, behold, a certain ruler came, and bowed before him, saying, My daughter has just died: but come and lay your hand upon her, and she shall live.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:19 @ And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:20 @ And, behold, a woman, who had suffered for twelve years with a flow of blood, came up behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:

rkjnt@Matthew:9:21 @ For she said to herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be made well.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:22 @ But Jesus turned around, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, take heart; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:23 @ And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute players and the crowd making a noise,

rkjnt@Matthew:9:24 @ He said to them, Depart: for the girl is not dead, but sleeps. And they laughed him to scorn.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:25 @ But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:26 @ And the report of this went abroad throughout all that region.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:27 @ And when Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Son of David, have mercy on us.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:28 @ And when he had come into 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.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:9:30 @ And their eyes were opened; and Jesus sternly charged them, saying, See that no man knows of this.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:31 @ When they departed, they spread abroad his fame in all that region.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:32 @ As they were going away, behold, a dumb man possessed by a devil was brought to him.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:33 @ And when the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:34 @ But the Pharisees said, He casts out devils by the prince of the devils.

rkjnt@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 sickness and every disease.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:36 @ But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

rkjnt@Matthew:9:37 @ Then he said to his disciples, The harvest truly is plentiful, but the labourers are few;

rkjnt@Matthew:9:38 @ Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

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

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

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

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

rkjnt@Matthew:10:5 @ These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Do not go among the Gentiles, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans:

rkjnt@Matthew:10:6 @ But rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:7 @ And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:8 @ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely you have received, freely give.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:9 @ Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor copper for your purses,

rkjnt@Matthew:10:10 @ Nor bag for your journey, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his food.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:11 @ And into whatever city or village you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and abide there until you depart.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:12 @ And when you come into a house, greet it.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:13 @ And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:14 @ And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:15 @ Truly I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:16 @ Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: therefore be as wise as serpents, and as harmless as doves.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:17 @ But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

rkjnt@Matthew:10:18 @ And you shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and the Gentiles.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:19 @ But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious about how or what you shall speak: for it shall be given to you in that hour what you shall speak.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:20 @ For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:21 @ And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:22 @ And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake: but he who endures to the end shall be saved.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:23 @ But when they persecute you in this city, flee into another: for truly I say to you, You shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, before the Son of man comes.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:24 @ The disciple is not above his teacher, nor the servant above his master.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:25 @ It is enough for the disciple that he is like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more the members of his household?

rkjnt@Matthew:10:26 @ Therefore, do not fear them: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and nothing hidden, that shall not be made known.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:27 @ What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light: and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:28 @ And do not fear those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:29 @ Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and not one of them shall fall to the ground without your Father's consent.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:30 @ But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:31 @ Therefore, do not fear; you are of more value than many sparrows.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:32 @ Whoever shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:33 @ But whoever shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:34 @ Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth: I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:35 @ For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:36 @ And a man's foes shall be those of his own household.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:37 @ He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:38 @ And he who does not take up his cross, and follow after me, is not worthy of me.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:39 @ He who finds his life shall lose it: and he who loses his life for my sake shall find it.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:40 @ He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:41 @ He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

rkjnt@Matthew:10:42 @ And whoever shall give to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink because he is my disciple, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:1 @ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:2 @ Now when John heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent word by two of his disciples,

rkjnt@Matthew:11:3 @ And said to him, Are you he who is to come, or should we look for another?

rkjnt@Matthew:11:4 @ Jesus answered them, Go and tell John those things which you hear and see:

rkjnt@Matthew:11:5 @ The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:6 @ And blessed is he who does not find cause to stumble over me.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:7 @ And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

rkjnt@Matthew:11:8 @ But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:9 @ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:10 @ For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who shall prepare your way before you.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:11 @ Truly I say to you, Among those who are born of women there has not arisen one greater than John the Baptist: yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:12 @ And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:13 @ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:14 @ And if you will receive it, he is Elijah, who was to come.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:15 @ He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:16 @ But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, and calling to their fellows,

rkjnt@Matthew:11:17 @ And saying, We have piped for you, and you have not danced; we have mourned for you, and you have not lamented.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:18 @ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a devil.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:19 @ The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax gatherers and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her deeds.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:20 @ Then he began to rebuke the cities in which most of his miracles had been done, because they did not repent:

rkjnt@Matthew:11:21 @ Woe to you, Chorazin! woe to you, Bethsaida! for if the miracles which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:22 @ But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:23 @ And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? you shall be brought down to Hades: for if the miracles which have been done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:24 @ But I say to you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:25 @ At that time Jesus said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babes.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:26 @ Yes, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:27 @ All things have been delivered to me by my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; nor does any man know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:28 @ Come to me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:29 @ Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest for your souls.

rkjnt@Matthew:11:30 @ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:12:2 @ But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, Behold, your disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:3 @ But he said to them, Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, he and those who were with him;

rkjnt@Matthew:12:4 @ How he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

rkjnt@Matthew:12:5 @ Or have you not read in the law, that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

rkjnt@Matthew:12:6 @ But I say to you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:7 @ But if you had known what this means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltless.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:8 @ For the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:9 @ And when he departed from there, he went into their synagogue:

rkjnt@Matthew:12:10 @ And, behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:11 @ And he said to them, What man is there among you, if he has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the sabbath day, will not lay hold of it, and lift it out?

rkjnt@Matthew:12:12 @ How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep? Therefore, it is lawful to do good on the sabbath.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:12:14 @ Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:15 @ But Jesus, knowing this, withdrew from there: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

rkjnt@Matthew:12:16 @ And charged them that they should not make him known:

rkjnt@Matthew:12:17 @ That what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled,

rkjnt@Matthew:12:18 @ Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:19 @ He shall not quarrel, nor cry out; nor shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:20 @ A bruised reed he shall not break, and a smoking wick he shall not quench, until he brings justice to victory.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:21 @ And in his name shall the Gentiles hope.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:22 @ Then was brought to him one possessed by a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, so that the blind and dumb man both spoke and saw.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:23 @ And all the people were amazed, and said, Is this not the son of David?

rkjnt@Matthew:12:24 @ But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow casts out devils only by Beelzebub, the prince of the devils.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:25 @ And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

rkjnt@Matthew:12:26 @ And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?

rkjnt@Matthew:12:27 @ And if I cast out devils by Beelzebub, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:28 @ But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:29 @ Or how can one enter a strong man's house, and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? and then he will plunder his house.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:30 @ He who is not with me is against me; and he who does not gather with me scatters.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:31 @ Therefore I say to you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven men.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:32 @ And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world to come.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:33 @ Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:34 @ You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:35 @ A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth evil things.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:36 @ But I say to you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account of on the day of judgment.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:37 @ For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:38 @ Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Teacher, we wish see a sign from you.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:39 @ But he answered them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and no sign shall be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah:

rkjnt@Matthew:12:40 @ For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:41 @ The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, one greater than Jonah is here.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:42 @ The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the remotest parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, one greater than Solomon is here.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:43 @ When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, it passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:44 @ Then it says, I will return to my house from which I came; and when it comes, it finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:45 @ Then it goes, and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they enter in and live there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:46 @ While he was still talking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, desiring to speak with him.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:47 @ Then one said to him, Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to speak with you.

rkjnt@Matthew:12:48 @ But he answered and said to him who told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?

rkjnt@Matthew:12:49 @ And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brothers!

rkjnt@Matthew:12:50 @ For whoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:1 @ That same day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:2 @ And great multitudes gathered around him, so that he went into a boat, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:3 @ And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

rkjnt@Matthew:13:4 @ And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured them:

rkjnt@Matthew:13:5 @ Some fell upon stony places, where they did not have much earth: and at once they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil:

rkjnt@Matthew:13:6 @ And when the sun came up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:7 @ And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up, and choked them:

rkjnt@Matthew:13:8 @ But other seeds fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

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

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

rkjnt@Matthew:13:11 @ He answered them, It has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:12 @ For whoever has, to him shall more be given, and he shall have an abundance: but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:13 @ Therefore, I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:14 @ And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, who says, You shall continue to hear, but not understand; and you shall continue to see, but not perceive:

rkjnt@Matthew:13:15 @ For this people's heart has become dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:13:17 @ For truly I say to you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:13:19 @ When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes, and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is the seed that was sown by the wayside.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:20 @ The seed sown upon stony places is he who hears the word, and immediately receives it with joy;

rkjnt@Matthew:13:21 @ Yet he has no root in himself, and endures only for a while: when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, he falls away.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:22 @ The seed sown among the thorns is he who hears the word; and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:23 @ But the seed sown on the good ground is he who hears the word, and understands it; he also bears fruit, and brings forth, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:24 @ He put forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field:

rkjnt@Matthew:13:25 @ But while everyone slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:26 @ But when the wheat had sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then the tares appeared also.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:27 @ So the servants of the landowner came and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? where then did the tares come from?

rkjnt@Matthew:13:28 @ He said to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Do you wish for us to go and gather them up?

rkjnt@Matthew:13:29 @ But he said, No; lest while you gather up the tares, you also pull up the wheat with them.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:30 @ Let both grow together until the harvest: and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:31 @ He put forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

rkjnt@Matthew:13:32 @ It is the smallest of all seeds: but when it is fully grown, it is the largest of the garden plants, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:33 @ He spoke another parable to them; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:34 @ All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and he spoke nothing to them without using a parable,

rkjnt@Matthew:13:35 @ That what was spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:36 @ Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:13:38 @ The field is the world; the good seed are the sons of the kingdom; but the tares are the sons of the wicked one;

rkjnt@Matthew:13:39 @ The enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:40 @ Therefore, as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be at the end of this age.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:41 @ The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and those who do iniquity;

rkjnt@Matthew:13:42 @ And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:43 @ Then the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:44 @ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again, then for joy went and sold all that he had, and bought that field.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:45 @ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:46 @ When he found one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:47 @ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered fish of every kind:

rkjnt@Matthew:13:48 @ Which, when it was full, they drew it to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:49 @ So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and separate the wicked from among the just,

rkjnt@Matthew:13:50 @ And shall cast them into the furnace of fire, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:51 @ Jesus said to them, Have you understood all these things? They said to him, Yes.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:52 @ Then he said to them, Therefore every scribe who is instructed about the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is an owner of a house, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:53 @ And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:54 @ And when he had come to his home town, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Where did this man get this wisdom, and these miracles?

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

rkjnt@Matthew:13:56 @ And his sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?

rkjnt@Matthew:13:57 @ And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, except in his home town, and in his own house.

rkjnt@Matthew:13:58 @ And he did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:1 @ At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

rkjnt@Matthew:14:2 @ And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead; and therefore miraculous powers are at work in him.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:3 @ For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:4 @ For John said to him, It is not lawful for you to have her.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:5 @ And although he would have put him to death, he feared the people, because they counted him as a prophet.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:6 @ But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:7 @ Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:8 @ And she, having been prompted by her mother, said, Give me John the Baptist's head here on a platter.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:9 @ And the king was sorry: nevertheless, because of his oath and his guests, he commanded that it be given to her.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:10 @ And he sent, and had John beheaded in the prison.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:14:12 @ And his disciples came, and took the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:13 @ When Jesus heard of it, he departed from there by boat privately into a solitary place: and when the people heard this, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:14 @ As Jesus went ashore, and saw a great multitude, he was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:15 @ And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desolate place, and the day is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:16 @ But Jesus said to them, They need not depart; you give them something to eat.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:17 @ And they said to him, We have here but five loaves, and two fish.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:18 @ He said, Bring them here to me.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:19 @ And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:20 @ And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up what remained of the fragments, twelve baskets full.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:21 @ And those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:22 @ And immediately Jesus made his disciples get into a boat, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent the multitude away.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:23 @ And when he had sent the multitude away, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray: and when evening came, he was there alone.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:24 @ But the boat was now many stadia from the land, tossed by waves: for the wind was contrary.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:25 @ And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:26 @ And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost; and they cried out in fear.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:27 @ But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, Take heart; it is I; do not be afraid.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:14:29 @ And he said, Come. And Peter got down out of the boat, and walked on the water to Jesus.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:30 @ But when he saw the wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:31 @ And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt?

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

rkjnt@Matthew:14:33 @ Then those who were in the boat came and worshipped him, saying, Truly you are the Son of God.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:34 @ And when they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.

rkjnt@Matthew:14:35 @ And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought to him all who were diseased;

rkjnt@Matthew:14:36 @ And begged him that they might just touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched it were made perfectly well.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:1 @ Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,

rkjnt@Matthew:15:2 @ Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:3 @ But he answered and said to them, Why do you transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

rkjnt@Matthew:15:4 @ For God commanded, saying, Honour your father and mother: and, He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:5 @ But you say, Whoever shall say to his father or his mother, Whatever of mine might benefit you is a gift to God;

rkjnt@Matthew:15:6 @ Then he is free not to honour his father or his mother. Thus have you made the commandment of God void by your tradition.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:7 @ You hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

rkjnt@Matthew:15:8 @ This people honours me with their lips; but their hearts are far from me.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:9 @ But in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:10 @ And he called the multitude, and said to them, Hear, and understand:

rkjnt@Matthew:15:11 @ Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:15:13 @ But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:14 @ Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:15 @ Then Peter answered and said to him, Explain to us this parable.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:16 @ And Jesus said, Are you also still without understanding?

rkjnt@Matthew:15:17 @ Do you not yet understand, that whatever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly, and is eliminated?

rkjnt@Matthew:15:18 @ But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:19 @ For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immorality, thefts, false witness, slanders:

rkjnt@Matthew:15:20 @ These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:21 @ Then Jesus went from there, and departed to the districts of Tyre and Sidon.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:22 @ And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of that region, and cried to him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:15:24 @ But he answered and said, I have been sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:25 @ Then she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:26 @ But he answered and said, It is not proper to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:27 @ And she said, True, Lord: yet the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:28 @ Then Jesus answered and said to her, O woman, great is your faith: be it done for you as you wish. And her daughter was made well from that very hour.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:29 @ And Jesus departed from there, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and went up on a mountain, and sat down there.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:30 @ And great multitudes came to him, having with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, dumb, and many others, and put them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them,

rkjnt@Matthew:15:31 @ So that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the crippled made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:32 @ Then Jesus called his disciples to himself, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint on the way.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:33 @ And his disciples said to him, Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill so great a multitude?

rkjnt@Matthew:15:34 @ And Jesus said to them, How many loaves do you have? And they said, Seven, and a few little fish.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:35 @ And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:36 @ And he took the seven loaves and the fish, and gave thanks, and broke them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:37 @ And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up the broken pieces that were left, seven baskets full.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:38 @ And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

rkjnt@Matthew:15:39 @ And he sent away the multitude, and got into the boat, and came to the region of Magadan.

rkjnt@Matthew:16:1 @ The Pharisees and the Sadducees came, and testing him, asked that he would show them a sign from heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:16:2 @ He answered and said to them, When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

rkjnt@Matthew:16:3 @ And in the morning, It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and threatening. O you hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky; but can you not discern the signs of the times?

rkjnt@Matthew:16:4 @ A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall be no sign given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.

rkjnt@Matthew:16:5 @ When they came to the other side of the lake, his disciples found they had forgotten to take bread.

rkjnt@Matthew:16:6 @ Then Jesus said to them, Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

rkjnt@Matthew:16:7 @ And they discussed among themselves, saying, It is because we brought no bread.

rkjnt@Matthew:16:8 @ When Jesus perceived this, he said to them, O you of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves that you have brought no bread?

rkjnt@Matthew:16:9 @ Do you not yet understand; do you not remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?

rkjnt@Matthew:16:10 @ Or the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?

rkjnt@Matthew:16:11 @ How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread, but that you should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

rkjnt@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they understood that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

rkjnt@Matthew:16:13 @ When Jesus came to the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

rkjnt@Matthew:16:14 @ And they said, Some say that you are John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:16:16 @ Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

rkjnt@Matthew:16:17 @ And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah: for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:16:18 @ And I say also to you, That you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:16:20 @ Then he charged his disciples that they should tell no man that he was the Christ.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:16:22 @ Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, God forbid it, Lord: this shall not happen to you.

rkjnt@Matthew:16:23 @ But he turned, and said to Peter, Get behind me, Satan: you are an offence to me: for you are not thinking of the things of God, but of the things of men.

rkjnt@Matthew:16:24 @ Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

rkjnt@Matthew:16:25 @ For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it: and whoever loses his life for my sake shall find it.

rkjnt@Matthew:16:26 @ For what does it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

rkjnt@Matthew:16:27 @ For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

rkjnt@Matthew:16:28 @ Truly I say to you, There are some standing here, who shall not taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:1 @ And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up a high mountain where they were alone,

rkjnt@Matthew:17:2 @ And was transfigured before them: and his face shone like the sun, and his clothing was white as the light.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:3 @ And, behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:4 @ Then Peter answered, and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you wish, let us make three tabernacles here; one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:5 @ While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and a voice out of the cloud said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear him.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:6 @ And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:7 @ And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and do not be afraid.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:8 @ And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:9 @ And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, until the Son of man has risen again from the dead.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:10 @ And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?

rkjnt@Matthew:17:11 @ And Jesus answered them, Elijah truly shall come first, and restore all things.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:12 @ But I say to you, That Elijah has already come, and they did not know him, but have done to him whatever they pleased. Likewise shall the Son of man suffer at their hands.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:13 @ Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:14 @ And when they had come to the multitude, a certain man came to him, kneeling down before him, and saying,

rkjnt@Matthew:17:15 @ Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is epileptic, and severely vexed: for often he falls into the fire, and often into the water.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:16 @ And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:17 @ Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I endure you? bring him here to me.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:18 @ And Jesus rebuked the devil; and it departed out of him: and the boy was cured from that very hour.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:17:20 @ And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief: for truly I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Move from here to there; and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible for you.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:21 @ [Yet this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.]

rkjnt@Matthew:17:22 @ And when they came together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

rkjnt@Matthew:17:23 @ And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceedingly sorry.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:24 @ And when they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the tax came to Peter, and said, Does not your teacher pay the tax?

rkjnt@Matthew:17:25 @ He said, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, What do you think, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth take customs or tribute? from their own sons, or from strangers?

rkjnt@Matthew:17:26 @ Peter said to him, From strangers. Jesus said to him, Then the sons are free.

rkjnt@Matthew:17:27 @ But lest we offend them, go to the sea, and cast in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you have opened its mouth, you shall find a shekel: take that, and give it to them for me and you.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:18:2 @ And Jesus called a little child to him, and set him in the midst of them,

rkjnt@Matthew:18:3 @ And said, Truly I say to you, Unless you are converted, and become like little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:4 @ Therefore, whoever shall humble himself as this little child, he is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:5 @ And whoever shall receive one such little child in my name receives me.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:6 @ But whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him that a great millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depths of the sea.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:7 @ Woe to the world because of temptations! for it must be that temptations come; but woe to that man by whom the temptation comes!

rkjnt@Matthew:18:8 @ Therefore, if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off, and cast it from you: it is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into eternal fire.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:9 @ And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out, and cast it from you: it is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the fire of hell.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:10 @ Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I say to you, That in heaven their angels always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:11 @ [For the Son of man has come to save that which was lost.]

rkjnt@Matthew:18:12 @ What do you think? if a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains, and seek the one that has gone astray?

rkjnt@Matthew:18:13 @ And if he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep, than over the ninety-nine which did not go astray.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:14 @ In the same way, it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:15 @ If your brother shall sin against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone: if he shall hear you, you have gained your brother.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:16 @ But if he will not hear you, then take with you one or two more, that by the testimony of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:17 @ And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church: but if he even refuses to hear the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax gatherer.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:18:19 @ Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth about anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:20 @ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:21 @ Then Peter came to him, and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? up to seven times?

rkjnt@Matthew:18:22 @ Jesus said to him, I do not say to you, Up to seven times, but, Up to seventy times seven.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:23 @ Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:24 @ And when he had begun the settlement, one was brought to him, who owed him ten thousand talents.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:25 @ But because he had nothing with which to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:26 @ Therefore the servant fell down, and implored him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:27 @ Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and released him, and forgave him the debt.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:28 @ But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him a hundred denarii: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me what you owe.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:29 @ And his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and begged him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:30 @ He refused however, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay the debt.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:31 @ So when his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were very sorry, and came and told their lord all that had happened.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:32 @ Then his lord, after he had called him, said to him, You wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me:

rkjnt@Matthew:18:33 @ Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, even as I had pity on you?

rkjnt@Matthew:18:34 @ And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the torturers, until he should pay all that was due him.

rkjnt@Matthew:18:35 @ So shall my heavenly Father also do to each one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.

rkjnt@Matthew:19:1 @ And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the region of Judaea beyond the Jordan;

rkjnt@Matthew:19:2 @ And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

rkjnt@Matthew:19:3 @ The Pharisees also came to him, tempting him, and saying to him, Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause?

rkjnt@Matthew:19:4 @ And he answered and said to them, Have you not read, that he who made them at the beginning made them male and female,

rkjnt@Matthew:19:5 @ And said, For this reason shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cling to his wife: and the two shall be one flesh?

rkjnt@Matthew:19:6 @ Therefore they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let man not separate.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:19:8 @ He said to them, Because of the hardness of your hearts Moses allowed you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

rkjnt@Matthew:19:9 @ And I say to you, Whoever shall divorce his wife, except for unchastity, and shall marry another, commits adultery.

rkjnt@Matthew:19:10 @ His disciples said to him, If this is the case of a man with his wife, it is good not to marry.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:19:12 @ For there are some eunuchs, who were born so, from their mothers' wombs: and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.

rkjnt@Matthew:19:13 @ Then little children were brought to him, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: but the disciples rebuked them.

rkjnt@Matthew:19:14 @ But Jesus said, Let the little children come to me, and do not forbid them: for to such as these belongs the kingdom of heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:19:15 @ And he laid his hands on them, and departed from there.

rkjnt@Matthew:19:16 @ And, behold, one came and said to him, Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

rkjnt@Matthew:19:17 @ And he said to him, Why do you ask me what is good? there is no one good but One: but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.

rkjnt@Matthew:19:18 @ He said to him, Which ones? Jesus said, You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,

rkjnt@Matthew:19:19 @ Honour your father and your mother: and, You shall love your neighbour as yourself.

rkjnt@Matthew:19:20 @ The young man said to him, All these things I have kept from my youth up: what do I still lack?

rkjnt@Matthew:19:21 @ Jesus said to him, If you wish to be perfect, go and sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

rkjnt@Matthew:19:22 @ But when the young man heard that, he went away sorrowful: for he had much property.

rkjnt@Matthew:19:23 @ Then Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:19:24 @ And again I say to you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

rkjnt@Matthew:19:25 @ When his disciples heard this, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

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

rkjnt@Matthew:19:27 @ Then Peter answered and said to him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed you; what then shall we have?

rkjnt@Matthew:19:28 @ And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, At the renewal of all things, when the Son of man shall sit upon the throne of his glory, you who have followed me shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:19:30 @ But many who are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:1 @ For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers to work in his vineyard.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:2 @ And when he had agreed with the labourers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:3 @ And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,

rkjnt@Matthew:20:4 @ And said to them; Go also into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:5 @ Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:6 @ And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing, and said to them, Why are you standing here idle all the day?

rkjnt@Matthew:20:7 @ They said to him, Because no man has hired us. He said to them, Go also into the vineyard.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:8 @ So when evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:9 @ And when those who were hired about the eleventh hour came, every man received a denarius.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:10 @ But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; but each of them likewise received a denarius.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:11 @ And when they had received it, they grumbled against the landowner,

rkjnt@Matthew:20:12 @ Saying, These last have worked but one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:13 @ But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do you no wrong: did you not agree with me for a denarius?

rkjnt@Matthew:20:14 @ Take what is yours, and go your way: I wish to give to this last man, just as to you.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:15 @ Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is my own? Is your eye envious, because I am good?

rkjnt@Matthew:20:16 @ So the last shall be first, and the first last.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:20:18 @ Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,

rkjnt@Matthew:20:19 @ And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and on the third day he shall be raised up.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:20 @ Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, bowing before him, and asked a certain thing of him.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:21 @ And he said to her, What do you wish? She said to him, Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, the one on your right hand, and the other on the left, in your kingdom.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:22 @ But Jesus answered and said, You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink of the cup that I shall drink? They said to him, We are able.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:23 @ And he said to them, You shall indeed drink of my cup: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:24 @ And when the ten heard this, they were moved with indignation against the two brothers.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:25 @ But Jesus called them to him, and said, You know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:26 @ But it shall not be so among you: but whoever will be great among you, let him be your servant;

rkjnt@Matthew:20:27 @ And whoever will be chief among you, let him be your slave:

rkjnt@Matthew:20:28 @ Even as the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:29 @ And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:30 @ And, behold, two blind men sitting by the wayside, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:31 @ And the multitude rebuked them, telling them to be quiet: but they cried out all the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:32 @ And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What do you want that I should do for you?

rkjnt@Matthew:20:33 @ They said to him, Lord, we want our eyes to be opened.

rkjnt@Matthew:20:34 @ So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately they received their sight, and they followed him.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:1 @ And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

rkjnt@Matthew:21:2 @ Saying to them, Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you shall find a donkey tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them to me.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:3 @ And if any man says anything to you, you shall say, The Lord has need of them; and immediately he will send them.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:4 @ All this was done, that what was spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled,

rkjnt@Matthew:21:5 @ Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your King comes to you, meek, and sitting upon a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:6 @ And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

rkjnt@Matthew:21:7 @ And brought the donkey, and the colt, and placed on them their garments, and he sat upon them.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:8 @ And a very great multitude spread their garments along the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and spread them on the way.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:9 @ And the multitudes that went before, and that followed after, cried out, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:10 @ And when he came into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this?

rkjnt@Matthew:21:11 @ And the multitudes said, This is Jesus, the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:12 @ And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold doves,

rkjnt@Matthew:21:13 @ And said to them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer; but you have made it a den of robbers.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:21:15 @ And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were very displeased,

rkjnt@Matthew:21:16 @ And said to him, Do you hear what these say? And Jesus said to them, Yes; have you never read, Out of the mouths of children and nursing infants you have brought perfect praise?

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

rkjnt@Matthew:21:18 @ Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:19 @ And when he saw a fig tree by the way, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves, and he said to it, Let no fruit grow on you ever again. And at once the fig tree withered away.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:20 @ And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How did the fig tree so quickly wither away?

rkjnt@Matthew:21:21 @ Jesus answered and said to them, Truly I say to you, If you have faith, and do not doubt, you shall not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea; it shall be done.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:22 @ And all things, whatever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:21:24 @ And Jesus answered and said to them, I also will ask you one thing, and if you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:25 @ The baptism of John, where was it from? from heaven, or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him?

rkjnt@Matthew:21:26 @ But if we shall say, From men; we fear the people; for all hold that John was a prophet.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:21:28 @ But what do you think? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work today in the vineyard.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:29 @ He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:30 @ And he came to the second, and said the same. And he answered and said, I will, sir: but did not go.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:31 @ Which of the two did the will of his father? They said to him, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, That the tax gatherers and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:32 @ For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him: but the tax gatherers and the prostitutes believed him: and even when you had seen this, you did not afterward repent and believe him.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:33 @ Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to farmers, and went to a far country:

rkjnt@Matthew:21:34 @ And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, that they might collect his fruit.

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

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

rkjnt@Matthew:21:37 @ But last of all he sent to them his son, saying, They will respect my son.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:38 @ But when the tenants saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize his inheritance.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:21:40 @ Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?

rkjnt@Matthew:21:41 @ They said to him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard to other tenants, who shall give him the fruits in their seasons.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:42 @ Jesus said to them, Did you never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the cornerstone: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

rkjnt@Matthew:21:43 @ Therefore I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation which will bring forth its fruit.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:44 @ And whoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:45 @ And when the chief priests and Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:46 @ They sought to lay hands on him, but they feared the multitude, because they held him to be a prophet.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:1 @ And Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, and said,

rkjnt@Matthew:22:2 @ The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who gave a marriage feast for his son,

rkjnt@Matthew:22:3 @ And sent forth his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast: but they would not come.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:4 @ Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fat calves have been killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:22:6 @ And the rest took his servants, and treated them spitefully, and killed them.

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

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

rkjnt@Matthew:22:9 @ Therefore, go into the highways, and as many as you shall find, invite to the marriage feast.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:10 @ So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:11 @ And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment:

rkjnt@Matthew:22:12 @ And he said to him, Friend, how did you come in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:13 @ Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:22:15 @ Then the Pharisees went, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:16 @ And they sent out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that you are truthful, and teach the way of God in truth, nor do you defer to any man: for you do not regard the position of men.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:17 @ Therefore tell us, What do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

rkjnt@Matthew:22:18 @ But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

rkjnt@Matthew:22:19 @ Show me the money used for the tax. And they brought to him a denarius.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:20 @ And he said to them, Whose image and inscription is this?

rkjnt@Matthew:22:21 @ They said to him, Caesar's. Then he said to them, Then render to Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:22 @ When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:23 @ The same day the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him and asked him,

rkjnt@Matthew:22:24 @ Teacher, Moses said, If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:25 @ Now there were among us seven brothers: and the first, after he had married, died, and, having no children, left his wife to his brother:

rkjnt@Matthew:22:26 @ The same happened to the second, and the third, down to the seventh.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:27 @ And last of all the woman died.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:28 @ Therefore, at the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:29 @ Jesus answered them, You err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:22:31 @ And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by God,

rkjnt@Matthew:22:32 @ I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:33 @ And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:34 @ But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:35 @ Then one of them, who was a lawyer, asked him a question to test him, saying,

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

rkjnt@Matthew:22:37 @ Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:38 @ This is the first and greatest commandment.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:39 @ And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbour as yourself.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:40 @ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:41 @ While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

rkjnt@Matthew:22:42 @ What do you think of the Christ? whose son is he? They said to him, The Son of David.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:43 @ He said to them, How then does David in the spirit call him Lord, saying,

rkjnt@Matthew:22:44 @ The LORD said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet?

rkjnt@Matthew:22:45 @ If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?

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

rkjnt@Matthew:23:1 @ Then Jesus spoke to the multitude, and to his disciples,

rkjnt@Matthew:23:2 @ Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

rkjnt@Matthew:23:3 @ Therefore, all they bid you to observe, that observe and do; but do not imitate their works: for they say, but do not do.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:4 @ For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them upon men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:5 @ But all their works they do to be seen by men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

rkjnt@Matthew:23:6 @ And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

rkjnt@Matthew:23:7 @ And greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:8 @ But do not be called Rabbi: for one is your Teacher; and all of you are brethren.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:9 @ And call no man upon the earth your father: for one is your Father, who is in heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:10 @ Neither be called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:11 @ But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:12 @ And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and he who shall humble himself shall be exalted.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:13 @ But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:14 @ [Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: therefore you shall receive the greater condemnation.]

rkjnt@Matthew:23:15 @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you cross sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:16 @ Woe to you, blind guides, who say, Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

rkjnt@Matthew:23:17 @ You blind fools: which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?

rkjnt@Matthew:23:18 @ And, Whoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is upon it, he is obligated.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:19 @ You blind fools: which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?

rkjnt@Matthew:23:20 @ Therefore, whoever shall swear by the altar, swears by it, and by all things on it.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:21 @ And whoever shall swear by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells in it.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:22 @ And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:23 @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, justice, mercy, and faithfulness: these you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:24 @ You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:25 @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:26 @ You blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:27 @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like whitewashed tombs, which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but within are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:28 @ Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:29 @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you build the tombs of the prophets, and adorn the sepulchres of the righteous,

rkjnt@Matthew:23:30 @ And say, If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:31 @ Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the sons of those who killed the prophets.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:32 @ Fill up, then, the measure of the sins of your fathers.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:33 @ You serpents, you generation of vipers, how can you escape being condemned to hell?

rkjnt@Matthew:23:34 @ Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you shall kill and crucify; and some of them you shall scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:

rkjnt@Matthew:23:35 @ That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berachiah, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:36 @ Truly I say to you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:37 @ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets, and stone those who are sent to you, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not let me!

rkjnt@Matthew:23:38 @ Behold, your house is left to you desolate.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:39 @ For I say to you, You shall not see me again, until you shall say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:1 @ And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:2 @ And Jesus said to them, Do you not see all these things? truly I say to you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:3 @ And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us when these things shall be? and what shall be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?

rkjnt@Matthew:24:4 @ And Jesus answered them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:5 @ For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and shall deceive many.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:6 @ And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that you are not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:7 @ For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and earthquakes, in various places.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:8 @ All these are the beginning of birth pains.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:9 @ Then they shall deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated by all nations for my name's sake.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:10 @ And then shall many fall away, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:11 @ And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:12 @ And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall grow cold.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:13 @ But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:14 @ And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations; and then the end shall come.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:15 @ Therefore, when you shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (whoever reads, let him understand:)

rkjnt@Matthew:24:16 @ Then let those who are in Judaea flee into the mountains:

rkjnt@Matthew:24:17 @ Let him who is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house:

rkjnt@Matthew:24:18 @ Neither let him who is in the field turn back to take his cloak.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:19 @ And woe to those who are with child, and to those who nurse in those days!

rkjnt@Matthew:24:20 @ Pray that your flight may not be in the winter or on the sabbath day:

rkjnt@Matthew:24:21 @ For then there shall be great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:22 @ And unless those days had been cut short, no flesh would be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be cut short.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:23 @ Then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or there; do not believe it.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:24 @ For false Christs shall arise, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to deceive, if it were possible, even the very elect.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:25 @ Behold, I have told you beforehand.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:26 @ Therefore if they shall say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; do not go forth: behold, he is in the inner rooms; do not believe it.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:27 @ For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:28 @ For wherever the body is, there will the vultures be gathered together.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:29 @ Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

rkjnt@Matthew:24:30 @ And then the sign of the Son of man shall appear in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:31 @ And he shall send out his angels with a great call of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:32 @ Now learn this parable from the fig tree; When its branch becomes tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near:

rkjnt@Matthew:24:33 @ So likewise, when you shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:34 @ Truly I say to you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things are fulfilled.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:35 @ Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:36 @ But of that day and hour no man knows, no, not the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but my Father only.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:37 @ But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:38 @ For as in the days that were before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,

rkjnt@Matthew:24:39 @ And they did not know until the flood came and took them all away; so shall the coming of the Son of man be.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:40 @ Then shall two be in the field; one shall be taken, and the other left.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:41 @ Two women shall be grinding at the mill; one shall be taken, and the other left.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:42 @ Therefore watch: for you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:43 @ But know this, that if the owner of the house had known at what time the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:44 @ Therefore you must also be ready: for the Son of man will come at an hour you do not expect.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:45 @ Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?

rkjnt@Matthew:24:46 @ Blessed is that servant, whom his lord shall find so doing when he comes.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:47 @ Truly I say to you, That he shall put him in charge of all his goods.

rkjnt@Matthew:24:48 @ But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delays his coming;

rkjnt@Matthew:24:49 @ And shall begin to strike his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

rkjnt@Matthew:24:50 @ The lord of that servant shall come on a day when he does not expect him, and at a hour that he is not aware of,

rkjnt@Matthew:24:51 @ And shall cut him apart, and assign him a place with the hypocrites: where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:1 @ Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:2 @ And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:3 @ Those who were foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them:

rkjnt@Matthew:25:4 @ But the wise took oil in their flasks with their lamps.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:5 @ While the bridegroom tarried, they all became drowsy and slept.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:6 @ And at midnight there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go out to meet him.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:7 @ Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:8 @ And the foolish said to the wise, Give us some of your oil; for our lamps are going out.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:9 @ But the wise answered, saying, No; lest there not be enough for us and you: but rather go to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.

rkjnt@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.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:11 @ Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:12 @ But he answered and said, Truly I say to you, I do not know you.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:13 @ Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:14 @ For it is like a man travelling to a far country, who called his servants, and delivered to them his goods.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:15 @ To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his ability; and he went on his journey.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:16 @ Then he who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and gained another five talents.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:17 @ And likewise, he who had received two, gained two more.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:18 @ But he who had received one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:19 @ After a long time the lord of those servants came, and settled accounts with them.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:20 @ And so he who had received five talents came and brought the other five talents, saying, Lord, you delivered to me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:21 @ His lord said to him, Well done, you good and faithful servant: you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter into the joy of your lord.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:22 @ He also who had received two talents came and said, Lord, you delivered to me two talents: behold, I have gained two more talents.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:23 @ His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter into the joy of your lord.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:24 @ Then he who had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed:

rkjnt@Matthew:25:25 @ And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the earth: lo, here you have what is yours.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:26 @ His lord answered and said to him, You wicked and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed:

rkjnt@Matthew:25:27 @ Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and then at my coming I should have received it back with interest.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:28 @ Take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:29 @ For to every one who has shall more be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him who does not have, even that which he has shall be taken away.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:30 @ And cast the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:31 @ When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

rkjnt@Matthew:25:32 @ And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats:

rkjnt@Matthew:25:33 @ And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on the left.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:34 @ Then shall the King say to those on his right hand, Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

rkjnt@Matthew:25:35 @ For I was hungry, and you gave me food: I was thirsty, and you gave me drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in:

rkjnt@Matthew:25:36 @ Naked, and you clothed me: I was sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:37 @ Then the righteous shall answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? or thirsty, and give you drink?

rkjnt@Matthew:25:38 @ When did we see you a stranger, and take you in? or naked, and clothe you?

rkjnt@Matthew:25:39 @ Or when did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?

rkjnt@Matthew:25:40 @ And the King shall answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, as you have done it to one of the least of these, my brethren, you have done it to me.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:41 @ Then he shall say to those on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

rkjnt@Matthew:25:42 @ For I was hungry, and you gave me no food: I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink:

rkjnt@Matthew:25:43 @ I was a stranger, and you did not take me in: naked, and you did not clothe me: sick, and in prison, and you did not visit me.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:44 @ Then they also shall answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to you?

rkjnt@Matthew:25:45 @ Then he shall answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.

rkjnt@Matthew:25:46 @ And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:1 @ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,

rkjnt@Matthew:26:2 @ You know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man will be delivered up to be crucified.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:3 @ Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled together at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

rkjnt@Matthew:26:4 @ And conspired to take Jesus by stealth, and kill him.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:5 @ But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:26:7 @ There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head as he reclined at table.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:8 @ But when his disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

rkjnt@Matthew:26:9 @ For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:10 @ But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, Why do you trouble the woman? for she has done a good work for me.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:11 @ For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have me.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:12 @ When she poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:13 @ Truly I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, what this woman has done shall also be told in memory of her.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:14 @ Then one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,

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

rkjnt@Matthew:26:16 @ And from that time on he sought an opportunity to betray him.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:17 @ Now on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the passover?

rkjnt@Matthew:26:18 @ And he said, Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, The Teacher says, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at your house with my disciples.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:19 @ And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they made ready the passover.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:20 @ Now when the evening had come, he sat down with the twelve.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:21 @ And as they ate, he said, Truly I say to you, that one of you shall betray me.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:22 @ And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and every one of them began to say to him, Lord, is it I?

rkjnt@Matthew:26:23 @ And he answered and said, He who dipped his hand with me in the dish shall betray me.

rkjnt@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.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:25 @ Then Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Teacher, is it I? He said to him, You have said it.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:26:27 @ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink of it, all of you;

rkjnt@Matthew:26:28 @ For this is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:29 @ But I say to you, I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:26:31 @ Then Jesus said to them, This night all of you shall fall away because of me: for it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:32 @ But after I have risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:33 @ Peter answered and said to him, Though all fall away because of you, yet I will never fall away.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:34 @ Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, That this night, before the cock crows, you shall deny me thrice.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:35 @ Peter said to him, Though I die with you, yet I will not deny you. And all the disciples said the same.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:36 @ Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, Sit here, while I go and pray over there.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:37 @ And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very troubled.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:26:39 @ And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:40 @ And he came to the disciples, and found them asleep, and said to Peter, What, could you not watch with me one hour?

rkjnt@Matthew:26:41 @ Watch and pray, that you do not enter into temptation: the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:42 @ He went away again, a second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this may not pass away from me, except I drink it, your will be done.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:43 @ And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:44 @ And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:45 @ Then he came to his disciples, and said to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:46 @ Rise, let us be going: behold, he who betrays me is at hand.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:47 @ And while he yet spoke, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:48 @ Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomever I shall kiss, he is the one: hold him fast.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:49 @ And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:50 @ And Jesus said to him, Friend, do that which you have come for. Then they came, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:26:52 @ Then Jesus said to him, Put your sword back in its place: for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:53 @ Do you think that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall at once give me more than twelve legions of angels?

rkjnt@Matthew:26:54 @ But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that say it must happen this way?

rkjnt@Matthew:26:55 @ In that same hour Jesus said to the multitudes, Do you come out to take me with swords and clubs, as if I was a thief? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and you did not lay hold on me.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:56 @ But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:57 @ And those who had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:58 @ But Peter followed him from afar to the high priest's courtyard, and went in, and sat with the guards, to see the outcome.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:59 @ Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

rkjnt@Matthew:26:60 @ But found none, though many false witnesses came forth. At last two false witnesses came,

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

rkjnt@Matthew:26:62 @ And the high priest arose, and said to him, Do you have no answer? what is it which these men testify against you?

rkjnt@Matthew:26:63 @ But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said to him, I charge you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:64 @ Jesus said to him, You have said so: nevertheless I say to you, Hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:66 @ What do you think? They answered and said, He is worthy of death.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:67 @ Then they spit in his face, and beat him; and others struck him with the palms of their hands,

rkjnt@Matthew:26:68 @ Saying, Prophesy to us, you Christ, Who is it who struck you?

rkjnt@Matthew:26:69 @ Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard: and a maid came to him, saying, You also were with Jesus of Galilee.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:70 @ But he denied it before them all, saying, I know not what your are saying.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:71 @ And when he went out to the porch, another maid saw him, and said to those who were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:26:73 @ And after a while the bystanders came to him, and said to Peter, Surely you also are one of them; for your speech betrays you.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:74 @ Then he began to curse and to swear, saying, I do not know the man. And immediately the cock crowed.

rkjnt@Matthew:26:75 @ And Peter remembered the word Jesus said to him, Before the cock crows, you shall deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:27:2 @ And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pilate, the governor.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:3 @ Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

rkjnt@Matthew:27:4 @ Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see to that yourself.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:27:6 @ And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:7 @ And they took counsel, and bought with the money the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:8 @ Therefore that field has been called, The field of blood, to this day.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:9 @ Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a value had been set by the sons of Israel;

rkjnt@Matthew:27:10 @ And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:11 @ And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, Are you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say so.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:12 @ And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he said nothing.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:27:14 @ And he answered him not a word; so that the governor marvelled greatly.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:15 @ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner, whom they wanted.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:16 @ And they had at that time a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:17 @ Therefore, when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

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

rkjnt@Matthew:27:19 @ When he sat down on the judgment seat, his wife sent a message to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:20 @ But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask for Barabbas, and have Jesus executed.

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

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

rkjnt@Matthew:27:23 @ And the governor said, Why, what evil has he done? But they cried out all the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:24 @ When Pilate saw that he could not prevail, but rather that a tumult was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of this man's blood: you see to it yourselves.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:25 @ Then all the people answered, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released Barabbas to them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him over to be crucified.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:27 @ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered around him the whole cohort of soldiers.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:28 @ And they stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:29 @ And when they had weaved a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed their knees before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

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

rkjnt@Matthew:27:31 @ And after had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his own clothing on him, and led him away to crucify him.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:32 @ And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: they compelled him to bear his cross.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:33 @ And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, place of a skull,

rkjnt@Matthew:27:34 @ They gave him wine to drink mixed with gall: and when he had tasted it, he would not drink.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:35 @ And they crucified him, and divided his garments among them by casting lots.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:36 @ And sitting down they watched him there;

rkjnt@Matthew:27:37 @ And set up over his head the accusation against him, which read, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:38 @ At that time there were two robbers crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:39 @ And those who passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

rkjnt@Matthew:27:40 @ 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.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:41 @ Likewise the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying,

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

rkjnt@Matthew:27:43 @ He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:44 @ The robbers also, who were crucified with him, cast the same insult at him.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:27:46 @ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

rkjnt@Matthew:27:47 @ Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calls for Elijah.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:27:49 @ The rest said, Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:50 @ Jesus, when he had cried out again with a loud voice, yielded up the spirit.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:27:52 @ And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who slept arose,

rkjnt@Matthew:27:53 @ And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared to many.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:54 @ Now when the centurion, and those who were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:55 @ And many women were there, beholding from afar. They had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:56 @ Among them was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:57 @ When evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who had himself also become a disciple of Jesus.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:58 @ He went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it be delivered to him.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:59 @ And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

rkjnt@Matthew:27:60 @ And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone over the door of the tomb, and departed.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:61 @ And Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, were there, sitting opposite the tomb.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:62 @ Now the next day, which followed the day of preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together before Pilate,

rkjnt@Matthew:27:63 @ Saying, Sir, we remember that while he was yet alive that deceiver said, After three days I will rise again.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:64 @ Therefore, command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say to the people, He has risen from the dead: so the last deception shall be worse than the first.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:65 @ Pilate said to them, You have a guard: go your way; make it as secure as you can.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:66 @ So they went, and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone and posting a guard.

rkjnt@Matthew:28:1 @ At the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

rkjnt@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 from the door, and sat upon it.

rkjnt@Matthew:28:3 @ His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow:

rkjnt@Matthew:28:4 @ And for fear of him the guards shook, and became as dead men.

rkjnt@Matthew:28:5 @ And the angel said to the women, Fear not: for I know that you seek Jesus, who was crucified.

rkjnt@Matthew:28:6 @ He is not here: for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.

rkjnt@Matthew:28:7 @ And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead; and, behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you shall see him: lo, I have told you.

rkjnt@Matthew:28:8 @ And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy; and ran to bring his disciples word.

rkjnt@Matthew:28:9 @ And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, Hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

rkjnt@Matthew:28:10 @ Then Jesus said to them, Do not be afraid: go tell my brethren to go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.

rkjnt@Matthew:28:11 @ Now when they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.

rkjnt@Matthew:28:12 @ And when they had assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave much money to the soldiers,

rkjnt@Matthew:28:13 @ Saying, Say, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

rkjnt@Matthew:28:14 @ And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him, and keep you out of trouble.

rkjnt@Matthew:28:15 @ So they took the money, and did as they were told: and this story is commonly reported among the Jews to this day.

rkjnt@Matthew:28:16 @ Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to a mountain where Jesus had directed them.

rkjnt@Matthew:28:17 @ And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

rkjnt@Matthew:28:18 @ And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All power has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

rkjnt@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:

rkjnt@Matthew:28:20 @ Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.

rkjnt@Mark:1:1 @ The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

rkjnt@Mark:1:2 @ As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who shall prepare your way.

rkjnt@Mark:1:3 @ The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

rkjnt@Mark:1:4 @ John baptized in the wilderness, and preached a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

rkjnt@Mark:1:5 @ And there went out to him all the land of Judaea, and all those of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

rkjnt@Mark:1:6 @ And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a leather girdle about his waist; and he ate locusts and wild honey;

rkjnt@Mark:1:7 @ And preached, saying, After me there comes one mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.

rkjnt@Mark:1:8 @ I have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.

rkjnt@Mark:1:9 @ And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

rkjnt@Mark:1:10 @ And immediately as he came up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

rkjnt@Mark:1:11 @ And there came a voice from heaven, saying, You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

rkjnt@Mark:1:12 @ And immediately the Spirit drove him into the wilderness.

rkjnt@Mark:1:13 @ And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.

rkjnt@Mark:1:14 @ Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,

rkjnt@Mark:1:15 @ And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent and believe the gospel.

rkjnt@Mark:1:16 @ Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen.

rkjnt@Mark:1:17 @ And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

rkjnt@Mark:1:18 @ And immediately they forsook their nets, and followed him.

rkjnt@Mark:1:19 @ And when he had gone a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were in their boat mending their nets.

rkjnt@Mark:1:20 @ And immediately he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.

rkjnt@Mark:1:21 @ And they went into Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.

rkjnt@Mark:1:22 @ And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.

rkjnt@Mark:1:23 @ And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

rkjnt@Mark:1:24 @ Saying, What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.

rkjnt@Mark:1:26 @ And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried out with a loud voice, it came out of him.

rkjnt@Mark:1:27 @ And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? what a new teaching this is! for with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

rkjnt@Mark:1:28 @ And immediately his fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.

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

rkjnt@Mark:1:30 @ Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him of her.

rkjnt@Mark:1:31 @ And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she waited upon them.

rkjnt@Mark:1:32 @ And at evening, when the sun set, they brought to him all who were diseased, and those who were possessed by devils.

rkjnt@Mark:1:33 @ And all the city was gathered together at the door.

rkjnt@Mark:1:34 @ And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many devils; and did not permit the devils to speak, because they knew him.

rkjnt@Mark:1:35 @ And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed to a solitary place, and there he prayed.

rkjnt@Mark:1:37 @ And when they found him, they said to him, Everyone is seeking for you.

rkjnt@Mark:1:38 @ And he said to them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for that is why I have come.

rkjnt@Mark:1:39 @ And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

rkjnt@Mark:1:41 @ And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and said to him, I will; be clean.

rkjnt@Mark:1:42 @ And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

rkjnt@Mark:1:43 @ And he sternly charged him, and immediately sent him away;

rkjnt@Mark:1:44 @ He said to him, See that you say nothing to any man: but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.

rkjnt@Mark:1:45 @ But he went out, and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter abroad, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a city, but stayed out in lonely places: and they came to him from every quarter.

rkjnt@Mark:2:1 @ And he entered Capernaum again after some days; and it was reported that he was in the house.

rkjnt@Mark:2:2 @ And immediately many gathered together, so that there was no room to receive them, no, not even around the door: and he preached the word to them.

rkjnt@Mark:2:3 @ And they came, bringing a paralytic, who was borne by four men.

rkjnt@Mark:2:4 @ And when they could not come near to him because of the crowd, they made a hole in the roof where he was: and when they had broken through, they let down the mat on which the paralytic lay.

rkjnt@Mark:2:5 @ When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, Son, your sins are forgiven.

rkjnt@Mark:2:6 @ But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, who reasoned in their hearts,

rkjnt@Mark:2:7 @ Why does this man speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?

rkjnt@Mark:2:8 @ And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?

rkjnt@Mark:2:9 @ Which is easier to say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and take up your mat, and walk?

rkjnt@Mark:2:10 @ But that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (he said to the paralytic,)

rkjnt@Mark:2:12 @ And immediately he arose, took up the mat, and went forth before them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw anything like this.

rkjnt@Mark:2:13 @ And he went forth again on the seashore; and all the multitude came to him, and he taught them.

rkjnt@Mark:2:14 @ And as he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office, and said to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

rkjnt@Mark:2:15 @ And it came to pass, that, as Jesus reclined at table in his house, many tax gatherers and sinners also sat together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.

rkjnt@Mark:2:16 @ And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with tax gatherers and sinners, they said to his disciples, How is it that he eats and drinks with tax gatherers and sinners?

rkjnt@Mark:2:17 @ When Jesus heard it, he said to them, Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

rkjnt@Mark:2:18 @ Now the disciples of John and of the Pharisees were fasting: and they came and said to him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?

rkjnt@Mark:2:19 @ And Jesus said to them, Can the attendants of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

rkjnt@Mark:2:20 @ But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast.

rkjnt@Mark:2:21 @ No man sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment: because the new patch pulls away from the old, and the tear is made worse.

rkjnt@Mark:2:22 @ And no man puts new wine into old wineskins: because the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined: but new wine must be put into new wineskins.

rkjnt@Mark:2:23 @ And it came to pass, that he went through the grainfields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the heads of grain.

rkjnt@Mark:2:24 @ And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath day?

rkjnt@Mark:2:25 @ And he said to them, Have you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he, and those who were with him?

rkjnt@Mark:2:26 @ How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the showbread, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and gave also to them who were with him?

rkjnt@Mark:2:27 @ And he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

rkjnt@Mark:2:28 @ Therefore, the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

rkjnt@Mark:3:1 @ And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there who had a withered hand.

rkjnt@Mark:3:2 @ And they watched him, to see whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.

rkjnt@Mark:3:3 @ And he said to the man who had the withered hand, Stand and come here.

rkjnt@Mark:3:4 @ And he said to them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

rkjnt@Mark:3:5 @ And when he had looked around on them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man, Stretch forth your hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored.

rkjnt@Mark:3:6 @ And the Pharisees went forth, and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

rkjnt@Mark:3:7 @ But Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him; and also from Judaea,

rkjnt@Mark:3:8 @ And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond the Jordan, and from around Tyre and Sidon; a great multitude, when they heard the many things he did, came to him.

rkjnt@Mark:3:9 @ And he told his disciples that a boat should be ready for him because of the multitude, lest they should crowd him.

rkjnt@Mark:3:10 @ For he had healed many; so as many as had diseases pressed upon him to touch him.

rkjnt@Mark:3:11 @ And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried out, saying, You are the Son of God.

rkjnt@Mark:3:12 @ And he sternly commanded them that they should not make him known.

rkjnt@Mark:3:13 @ And he went up to the mountain, and called to him those he wanted: and they came to him.

rkjnt@Mark:3:14 @ And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

rkjnt@Mark:3:16 @ Simon, whom he called Peter;

rkjnt@Mark:3:17 @ And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; to whom he gave the surname Boanerges, which means, Sons of thunder:

rkjnt@Mark:3:18 @ And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot,

rkjnt@Mark:3:19 @ And Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. And they went into a house.

rkjnt@Mark:3:20 @ And the multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

rkjnt@Mark:3:21 @ And when his family heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

rkjnt@Mark:3:22 @ And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, He is possessed by Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils he casts out devils.

rkjnt@Mark:3:23 @ And he called them to himself, and said to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

rkjnt@Mark:3:26 @ And if Satan rises up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end.

rkjnt@Mark:3:27 @ No man can enter into a strong man's house, and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man; and then he will plunder his house.

rkjnt@Mark:3:28 @ Truly I say to you, All sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they shall speak:

rkjnt@Mark:3:29 @ But he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit shall never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin:

rkjnt@Mark:3:30 @ Because they said, He has an unclean spirit.

rkjnt@Mark:3:31 @ Then his brothers and mother came, and, standing outside, sent to him, calling him.

rkjnt@Mark:3:32 @ And the multitude sat about him, and they said to him, Behold, your mother and your brothers are outside seeking for you.

rkjnt@Mark:3:33 @ And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brothers?

rkjnt@Mark:3:34 @ And he looked around at those who sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brothers!

rkjnt@Mark:3:35 @ For whoever shall do the will of God is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

rkjnt@Mark:4:1 @ And again he began to teach by the seaside: and a great multitude gathered around him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat in it; and the whole multitude was on the shore.

rkjnt@Mark:4:2 @ And he taught them many things by parables, and said to them in his teaching,

rkjnt@Mark:4:4 @ And it came to pass, as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside, and the birds of the air came and devoured it.

rkjnt@Mark:4:5 @ And some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil:

rkjnt@Mark:4:6 @ But when the sun came up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

rkjnt@Mark:4:7 @ And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

rkjnt@Mark:4:8 @ And other seed fell on good ground, and yielded fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundredfold.

rkjnt@Mark:4:9 @ And he said to them, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

rkjnt@Mark:4:10 @ And when he was alone, those who were about him with the twelve asked him about the parable.

rkjnt@Mark:4:11 @ And he said to them, To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to those who are outside, all these things are done in parables:

rkjnt@Mark:4:12 @ That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest they should be converted, and their sins be forgiven.

rkjnt@Mark:4:13 @ And he said to them, Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?

rkjnt@Mark:4:14 @ The sower sows the word.

rkjnt@Mark:4:15 @ And these are the ones by the wayside, where the word is sown; when they have heard, Satan comes immediately, and takes away the word that was sown in them.

rkjnt@Mark:4:16 @ And likewise, these are the ones who are like seed sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

rkjnt@Mark:4:17 @ But have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution arises for the word's sake, they immediately fall away.

rkjnt@Mark:4:18 @ And these are the ones who are like seed sown among thorns; they hear the word,

rkjnt@Mark:4:19 @ And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lust for other things enter in, and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

rkjnt@Mark:4:20 @ And these are the ones who are like seed sown on good ground; they hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundredfold.

rkjnt@Mark:4:21 @ And he said to them, Is a lamp brought in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a lampstand?

rkjnt@Mark:4:22 @ For there is nothing hidden, which shall not be revealed; nor is anything kept secret that shall not come to light.

rkjnt@Mark:4:23 @ If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.

rkjnt@Mark:4:24 @ And he said to them, Take heed what you hear: with the measure you use, it shall be measured to you: and more besides.

rkjnt@Mark:4:25 @ For he who has, to him shall more be given: and he who has not, from him shall be taken even that which he has.

rkjnt@Mark:4:26 @ And he said, The kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the ground;

rkjnt@Mark:4:27 @ And goes to sleep and rises, night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows up, though he does not know how.

rkjnt@Mark:4:28 @ For the earth brings forth fruit by itself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full grain in the ear.

rkjnt@Mark:4:29 @ But when the grain is ripe, immediately he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.

rkjnt@Mark:4:30 @ And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or what parable shall we use for it?

rkjnt@Mark:4:31 @ It is like a grain of mustard seed, which is the smallest seed planted in the ground:

rkjnt@Mark:4:32 @ But when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all garden herbs, and shoots out great branches; so that the birds of the air may nest under the shadow of it.

rkjnt@Mark:4:33 @ And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.

rkjnt@Mark:4:34 @ And he did not speak to them without a parable: and when they were alone, he explained all things to his disciples.

rkjnt@Mark:4:35 @ And the same day, when evening had come, he said to them, Let us pass over to the other side.

rkjnt@Mark:4:36 @ And when they had sent the multitude away, they took him just as he was in the boat. And there were also with him other boats.

rkjnt@Mark:4:37 @ And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was almost swamped.

rkjnt@Mark:4:38 @ And he was in the stern, asleep on a pillow: and they awoke him, and said to him, Teacher, do you not care that we perish?

rkjnt@Mark:4:39 @ And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

rkjnt@Mark:4:40 @ And he said to them, Why are you so fearful? how is it that you have no faith?

rkjnt@Mark:4:41 @ And they were exceedingly fearful, and said to one another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

rkjnt@Mark:5:1 @ And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Garasenes.

rkjnt@Mark:5:2 @ And when he got out of the boat, immediately there met him from out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

rkjnt@Mark:5:3 @ Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not even with chains:

rkjnt@Mark:5:4 @ Because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and he had pulled apart the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces: no man could subdue him.

rkjnt@Mark:5:5 @ And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying out, and cutting himself with stones.

rkjnt@Mark:5:6 @ But when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed before him,

rkjnt@Mark:5:7 @ And cried out with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I implore you by God, that you do not torment me.

rkjnt@Mark:5:8 @ For he was saying to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.

rkjnt@Mark:5:9 @ And he was asking him, What is your name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

rkjnt@Mark:5:10 @ And he begged him much that he would not send them out of the country.

rkjnt@Mark:5:11 @ Now there was a great herd of swine feeding there on the hillside.

rkjnt@Mark:5:12 @ And all the devils begged him, saying, Send us to the swine, that we may enter into them.

rkjnt@Mark:5:13 @ And Jesus gave them permission. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (there were about two thousand;) and they were drowned in the sea.

rkjnt@Mark:5:14 @ And those who fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And people went out to see what it was that had happened.

rkjnt@Mark:5:15 @ And they came to Jesus, and saw the man who had been possessed by the devil, who had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

rkjnt@Mark:5:16 @ And those who saw it told what happened to the man who was possessed by the devil, and to the swine.

rkjnt@Mark:5:17 @ And they began to beg him to depart from their region.

rkjnt@Mark:5:18 @ And as he got into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the devil begged him that he might go with him.

rkjnt@Mark:5:19 @ Yet Jesus did not let him, but said to him, Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he has had compassion on you.

rkjnt@Mark:5:20 @ And he departed, and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him: and all the people were amazed.

rkjnt@Mark:5:21 @ And when Jesus crossed over again by boat to the other side, many people gathered around him: and he was near the sea.

rkjnt@Mark:5:22 @ And, behold, there came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

rkjnt@Mark:5:23 @ And begged him greatly, saying, My little daughter lies at the point of death: I beg you, come and lay your hands on her, that she may be healed and live.

rkjnt@Mark:5:26 @ And had suffered many things from many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was not helped, but rather grew worse,

rkjnt@Mark:5:27 @ When she heard of Jesus, came in the crowd from behind, and touched his garment.

rkjnt@Mark:5:28 @ For she said, If I just touch his clothes, I shall be healed.

rkjnt@Mark:5:29 @ And immediately the flow of blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.

rkjnt@Mark:5:30 @ And Jesus, immediately knowing that power had gone out of him, turned around in the crowd, and said, Who touched my clothes?

rkjnt@Mark:5:31 @ And his disciples said to him, You see the multitude crowding you, and you say, Who touched me?

rkjnt@Mark:5:32 @ And he looked around to see the woman who had done this thing.

rkjnt@Mark:5:33 @ But the woman, knowing what had happened in her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

rkjnt@Mark:5:34 @ And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.

rkjnt@Mark:5:35 @ While he was speaking, messengers came from the ruler of the synagogue's house and said, Your daughter is dead: why trouble the Teacher further?

rkjnt@Mark:5:36 @ As soon as Jesus heard what was spoken, he said to the ruler of the synagogue, Do not be afraid, only believe.

rkjnt@Mark:5:37 @ And he allowed no man to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

rkjnt@Mark:5:38 @ And he came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw the tumult, and those who wept and wailed greatly.

rkjnt@Mark:5:39 @ And when he had come in, he said to them, Why do you make this tumult, and weep? the child is not dead, but sleeps.

rkjnt@Mark:5:40 @ And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with him, and entered in where the child was.

rkjnt@Mark:5:41 @ And he took her by the hand, and said to her, Talitha cum; which means, Little girl, I say to you, arise.

rkjnt@Mark:5:42 @ And immediately the girl arose, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were completely astonished.

rkjnt@Mark:5:43 @ And he strictly ordered them that no one should know of this; and told them to give her something to eat.

rkjnt@Mark:6:1 @ And he went out from there, and came into his own country; and his disciples followed him.

rkjnt@Mark:6:2 @ And when the sabbath day came, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many who heard him were astonished, saying, Where did this man get these things? and what wisdom is this which is given to him, that even such miracles are performed by his hands?

rkjnt@Mark:6:3 @ Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, of Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended by him.

rkjnt@Mark:6:4 @ But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

rkjnt@Mark:6:5 @ And he could do no miracles there, except to lay his hands upon a few sick people, and heal them.

rkjnt@Mark:6:6 @ And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went among the villages, teaching.

rkjnt@Mark:6:7 @ And he called to him the twelve, and began to send them forth two by two; and gave them authority over unclean spirits;

rkjnt@Mark:6:8 @ And commanded them to take nothing for their journey, except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts:

rkjnt@Mark:6:10 @ And he said to them, Wherever you enter a house, abide there until you depart from that place.

rkjnt@Mark:6:11 @ And whoever will not receive you, or hear you, when you depart from there, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.

rkjnt@Mark:6:12 @ And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

rkjnt@Mark:6:13 @ And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them.

rkjnt@Mark:6:14 @ And King Herod heard of it; (for his name was spread abroad). And some said that John the Baptist had risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works showed themselves forth in him.

rkjnt@Mark:6:15 @ Others said, He is Elijah. And others said, He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.

rkjnt@Mark:6:16 @ But when Herod heard of it, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he has risen from the dead.

rkjnt@Mark:6:17 @ For Herod himself had John arrested, and bound him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.

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

rkjnt@Mark:6:19 @ Therefore Herodias had a grudge against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:

rkjnt@Mark:6:20 @ For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and kept him safe; and when he heard him, he was perplexed, but he enjoyed listening to him.

rkjnt@Mark:6:21 @ But an opportunity came on Herod's birthday, when he had a banquet for his lords, high captains, and chief men of Galilee;

rkjnt@Mark:6:22 @ When the daughter of Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and those who sat with him, the king said to the girl, Ask of me whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.

rkjnt@Mark:6:23 @ And he swore to her, Whatever you shall ask of me, I will give it to you, up to half of my kingdom.

rkjnt@Mark:6:24 @ And she went out, and said to her mother, For what shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

rkjnt@Mark:6:25 @ And she came immediately in haste to the king, and asked, saying, I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter.

rkjnt@Mark:6:26 @ The king was exceedingly sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for the sake of those who sat with him, he would not refuse her.

rkjnt@Mark:6:27 @ So immediately the king sent an executioner with orders that his head be brought. He went and beheaded him in the prison,

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

rkjnt@Mark:6:29 @ And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.

rkjnt@Mark:6:30 @ And the apostles gathered together with Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.

rkjnt@Mark:6:31 @ And he said to them, Come by yourselves to a lonely place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.

rkjnt@Mark:6:32 @ And they departed privately by boat to a lonely place by themselves.

rkjnt@Mark:6:33 @ And the people saw them departing, and many recognized them, and ran there on foot from all the cities, and got there before them.

rkjnt@Mark:6:34 @ And Jesus, when he came ashore, saw many people, and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

rkjnt@Mark:6:35 @ And when the day was almost gone, his disciples came to him, and said, This is a lonely place, and it is very late:

rkjnt@Mark:6:36 @ Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy bread for themselves: for they have nothing to eat.

rkjnt@Mark:6:37 @ He answered and said to them, You give them something to eat. And they said to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii of bread, and give it to them to eat?

rkjnt@Mark:6:38 @ He said to them, How many loaves have you? go and see. And when they found out, they said, Five, and two fish.

rkjnt@Mark:6:39 @ And he commanded them to make all the people sit down in groups upon the green grass.

rkjnt@Mark:6:40 @ And they sat down in groups, by hundreds, and by fifties.

rkjnt@Mark:6:41 @ And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fish he divided among them all.

rkjnt@Mark:6:42 @ And they all ate, and were filled.

rkjnt@Mark:6:43 @ And they picked up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fish.

rkjnt@Mark:6:44 @ And there were about five thousand men who ate of the loaves.

rkjnt@Mark:6:45 @ And immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he sent the people away.

rkjnt@Mark:6:46 @ And when he had sent them away, he departed to a mountain to pray.

rkjnt@Mark:6:47 @ And when evening had come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land.

rkjnt@Mark:6:48 @ And he saw them toiling at their rowing; for the wind was against them: and about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed them by.

rkjnt@Mark:6:49 @ But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it was a ghost, and cried out:

rkjnt@Mark:6:50 @ For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them, Take heart: it is I; do not be afraid.

rkjnt@Mark:6:51 @ And he joined them in the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were amazed beyond measure.

rkjnt@Mark:6:52 @ For they did not understand the miracle of the loaves: for their hearts were hardened.

rkjnt@Mark:6:53 @ And when they passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.

rkjnt@Mark:6:54 @ And when they had come out of the boat, immediately people recognized him,

rkjnt@Mark:6:55 @ And ran throughout that whole region, and began to carry the sick about on mats, to wherever they heard he was.

rkjnt@Mark:6:56 @ And wherever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and begged him that they might even touch the fringe of his garment: and as many as touched him were made well.

rkjnt@Mark:7:1 @ Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem, gathered around him.

rkjnt@Mark:7:2 @ And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashed, hands, they found fault.

rkjnt@Mark:7:3 @ (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they wash their hands, thus holding to the tradition of the elders.

rkjnt@Mark:7:4 @ And when they come from the market, unless they wash, they do not eat. And there are many other traditions which they observe, such as the washing of cups, and pots, and vessels of copper.)

rkjnt@Mark:7:5 @ Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but rather eat bread with unwashed hands?

rkjnt@Mark:7:6 @ He answered and said to them, Well has Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honours me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

rkjnt@Mark:7:7 @ In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

rkjnt@Mark:7:8 @ Laying aside the commandment of God, you hold to the traditions of men.

rkjnt@Mark:7:9 @ And he said to them, You fully reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.

rkjnt@Mark:7:10 @ For Moses said, Honour your father and your mother; and, Whoever curses father or mother, let him be put to death:

rkjnt@Mark:7:11 @ But you say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, whatever I have that might benefit you is Corban, that is to say, a gift to God,

rkjnt@Mark:7:12 @ Then you do not allow him to do anything for his father or his mother;

rkjnt@Mark:7:13 @ Thus making the word of God invalid through your tradition, which you have handed down: and you do many such things.

rkjnt@Mark:7:14 @ And when he had called all the people to him, he said to them, Listen to me, every one of you, and understand:

rkjnt@Mark:7:15 @ There is nothing from outside of a man that can defile him by entering into him: but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile the man.

rkjnt@Mark:7:16 @ [If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.]

rkjnt@Mark:7:17 @ And when he entered into the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.

rkjnt@Mark:7:18 @ And he said to them, Are you also without understanding? Do you not perceive, that whatever enters into the man from without, it cannot defile him;

rkjnt@Mark:7:19 @ Because it does not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and is eliminated? Thus he declared all foods clean.

rkjnt@Mark:7:20 @ And he said, That which comes out of the man, that defiles the man.

rkjnt@Mark:7:21 @ For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,

rkjnt@Mark:7:23 @ All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

rkjnt@Mark:7:24 @ And from there he arose, and went into the regions of Tyre, and entered into a house, and would not have anyone know it: but he could not be hidden.

rkjnt@Mark:7:25 @ But a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

rkjnt@Mark:7:26 @ The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth; and she begged him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

rkjnt@Mark:7:27 @ But Jesus said to her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not right to take the children's bread, and to cast it to the dogs.

rkjnt@Mark:7:28 @ And she answered and said to him, Yes, Lord: but even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.

rkjnt@Mark:7:29 @ And he said to her, For this answer go your way; the devil has gone out of your daughter.

rkjnt@Mark:7:30 @ And when she came to her house, she found the devil gone, and her daughter lying upon the bed.

rkjnt@Mark:7:31 @ And again, departing from the region of Tyre, through Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, in the region of Decapolis.

rkjnt@Mark:7:32 @ And they brought to him one who was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they begged him to put his hand upon him.

rkjnt@Mark:7:33 @ And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

rkjnt@Mark:7:34 @ And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

rkjnt@Mark:7:35 @ And immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plainly.

rkjnt@Mark:7:36 @ And he commanded them that they should tell no man: but the more he commanded them, the more widely they proclaimed it;

rkjnt@Mark:7:37 @ And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, He has done all things well: he makes both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

rkjnt@Mark:8:1 @ In those days another great multitude gathered, and as they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him, and said to them,

rkjnt@Mark:8:2 @ I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

rkjnt@Mark:8:3 @ And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint on the way: for some of them came from afar.

rkjnt@Mark:8:4 @ And his disciples answered him, Where can a man find enough bread to satisfy these men here in the wilderness?

rkjnt@Mark:8:5 @ And he asked them, How many loaves do you have? And they said, Seven.

rkjnt@Mark:8:6 @ And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke them, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and they set them before the people.

rkjnt@Mark:8:7 @ And they had a few small fish: which he blessed, and commanded to be set before them as well.

rkjnt@Mark:8:8 @ So they ate, and were filled: and of the broken pieces that were left over they picked up seven baskets.

rkjnt@Mark:8:9 @ And there were about four thousand people: and he sent them away.

rkjnt@Mark:8:10 @ And immediately he entered into a boat with his disciples, and went to the district of Dalmanutha.

rkjnt@Mark:8:11 @ And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, testing him.

rkjnt@Mark:8:12 @ And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, Why does this generation seek after a sign? truly I say to you, There shall be no sign given to this generation.

rkjnt@Mark:8:13 @ And he left them, and entering into the boat again departed to the other side.

rkjnt@Mark:8:14 @ Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and did not have in the boat with them more than one loaf.

rkjnt@Mark:8:15 @ And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod.

rkjnt@Mark:8:16 @ And they discussed among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.

rkjnt@Mark:8:17 @ And being aware of this, Jesus said to them, Why do you discuss having no bread? do you not yet see or understand? are your hearts hardened?

rkjnt@Mark:8:18 @ Having eyes, do you not see? and having ears, do you not hear? and do you not remember?

rkjnt@Mark:8:19 @ When I broke the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you pick up? They said to him, Twelve.

rkjnt@Mark:8:20 @ And when I broke the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you pick up? And they said, Seven.

rkjnt@Mark:8:21 @ And he said to them, How is it that you do not understand?

rkjnt@Mark:8:22 @ And he came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to him, and begged him to touch him.

rkjnt@Mark:8:23 @ And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw anything.

rkjnt@Mark:8:24 @ And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

rkjnt@Mark:8:25 @ After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw everything clearly.

rkjnt@Mark:8:26 @ And he sent him away to his house, saying, Do not go into the village.

rkjnt@Mark:8:27 @ And Jesus went out, with his disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi: and on the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?

rkjnt@Mark:8:28 @ And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets.

rkjnt@Mark:8:29 @ And he said to them, But who do you say that I am? And Peter answered and said to him, You are the Christ.

rkjnt@Mark:8:30 @ And he commanded them that they should tell no man about him.

rkjnt@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 by the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

rkjnt@Mark:8:32 @ And he spoke this plainly. And Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him.

rkjnt@Mark:8:33 @ But when he had turned about and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get behind me, Satan: for you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things that are of men.

rkjnt@Mark:8:34 @ And when he had called the people to him, with his disciples also, he said to them, Whoever would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

rkjnt@Mark:8:35 @ For whoever would save his life shall lose it; but whoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, shall save it.

rkjnt@Mark:8:36 @ For what does it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

rkjnt@Mark:8:38 @ Therefore, whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

rkjnt@Mark:9:1 @ And he said to them, Truly I say to you, That there are some of those who stand here, who shall not taste of death, until they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

rkjnt@Mark:9:2 @ And after six days Jesus took with him Peter, and James, and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.

rkjnt@Mark:9:3 @ And his clothing became shining and exceedingly white; as no fuller on earth could whiten them.

rkjnt@Mark:9:4 @ And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

rkjnt@Mark:9:5 @ And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: let us make three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

rkjnt@Mark:9:6 @ For he did not know what to say; for they were very afraid.

rkjnt@Mark:9:7 @ And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

rkjnt@Mark:9:8 @ And suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no man with them, except Jesus only.

rkjnt@Mark:9:9 @ And as they came down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no man the things they had seen, until the Son of man should have risen from the dead.

rkjnt@Mark:9:10 @ And they kept that saying to themselves, questioning one with another what rising from the dead might mean.

rkjnt@Mark:9:11 @ And they asked him, saying, Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?

rkjnt@Mark:9:12 @ And he answered them, Elijah truly comes first, and restores all things; and how is it written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be treated with contempt?

rkjnt@Mark:9:13 @ But I say to you, That Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.

rkjnt@Mark:9:14 @ And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes arguing with them.

rkjnt@Mark:9:15 @ And immediately all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and ran to greet him.

rkjnt@Mark:9:16 @ And he asked the scribes, What are you discussing with them?

rkjnt@Mark:9:17 @ And one of the multitude answered and said, Teacher, I have brought to you my son, who has a dumb spirit;

rkjnt@Mark:9:18 @ And whenever it seizes him, it tears him: and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid: and I asked your disciples to cast it out; and they could not.

rkjnt@Mark:9:19 @ He answered him, and said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I endure you? bring him to me.

rkjnt@Mark:9:20 @ And they brought him to him: and when he saw him, immediately the spirit tore him; and he fell on the ground, and rolled around foaming at the mouth.

rkjnt@Mark:9:21 @ And he asked his father, How long has this been happening to him? And he said, Since he was a child.

rkjnt@Mark:9:22 @ And often it has cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.

rkjnt@Mark:9:24 @ And immediately the father of the child cried out, and said, Lord, I believe; help me overcome my unbelief.

rkjnt@Mark:9:25 @ When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying to him, You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and do not enter into him again.

rkjnt@Mark:9:26 @ And the spirit cried out, and threw him into severe convulsions, and came out of him: and he was like a corpse; so that many said, He is dead.

rkjnt@Mark:9:27 @ But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

rkjnt@Mark:9:28 @ And when he came into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could we not cast it out?

rkjnt@Mark:9:29 @ And he said to them, This kind can come out by nothing but prayer.

rkjnt@Mark:9:30 @ And they departed from there, and passed through Galilee; and he would not have any man know about it,

rkjnt@Mark:9:31 @ For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after he is killed, he shall rise on the third day.

rkjnt@Mark:9:32 @ But they did not understood that saying, and were afraid to ask him.

rkjnt@Mark:9:33 @ And he came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house he asked them, What were you discussing among yourselves along the way?

rkjnt@Mark:9:34 @ But they kept quiet: for along the way they had discussed which of them was the greatest.

rkjnt@Mark:9:35 @ And he sat down, and called the twelve, and said to them, If any man desires to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.

rkjnt@Mark:9:36 @ And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said to them,

rkjnt@Mark:9:38 @ And John answered him, saying, Teacher, we saw someone casting out devils in your name, and we forbad him, because he does not follow us.

rkjnt@Mark:9:39 @ But Jesus said, Do not forbid him: for there is no man who shall do a miracle in my name, who can soon after speak evil of me.

rkjnt@Mark:9:40 @ For he who is not against us is for us.

rkjnt@Mark:9:41 @ For whoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to Christ, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

rkjnt@Mark:9:42 @ And whoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

rkjnt@Mark:9:43 @ And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched:

rkjnt@Mark:9:44 @ [Where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.]

rkjnt@Mark:9:45 @ And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off: it is better for you to enter life lame, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched:

rkjnt@Mark:9:46 @ [Where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.]

rkjnt@Mark:9:47 @ And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out: it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell:

rkjnt@Mark:9:48 @ Where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.

rkjnt@Mark:9:50 @ Salt is good: but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another.

rkjnt@Mark:10:1 @ And he arose from there, and went into the region of Judaea on the farther side of the Jordan: and the people came to him again; and, as was his custom, he taught them.

rkjnt@Mark:10:2 @ And the Pharisees came to him, and tested him, asking, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?

rkjnt@Mark:10:3 @ And he answered and said to them, What did Moses command you?

rkjnt@Mark:10:4 @ And they said, Moses allowed a man to write a bill of divorce, and to put her away.

rkjnt@Mark:10:5 @ Jesus answered and said to them, Because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote you this commandment.

rkjnt@Mark:10:6 @ But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

rkjnt@Mark:10:7 @ For this reason shall a man leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife;

rkjnt@Mark:10:8 @ And the two shall be one flesh: so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.

rkjnt@Mark:10:9 @ Therefore, what God has joined together, let man not separate.

rkjnt@Mark:10:10 @ And in the house his disciples asked him again about the matter.

rkjnt@Mark:10:11 @ And he said to them, Whoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, commits adultery against her.

rkjnt@Mark:10:12 @ And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she commits adultery.

rkjnt@Mark:10:13 @ And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those who brought them.

rkjnt@Mark:10:14 @ But when Jesus saw it, he was very displeased, and said to them, Let the little children come to me, and do not forbid them: for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

rkjnt@Mark:10:15 @ Truly I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter it at all.

rkjnt@Mark:10:16 @ And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

rkjnt@Mark:10:17 @ And when he started forth on his way, a man came running to him, and kneeled before him, and asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

rkjnt@Mark:10:18 @ And Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? there is no one good but God alone.

rkjnt@Mark:10:19 @ You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour your father and mother.

rkjnt@Mark:10:20 @ And he answered and said to him, Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.

rkjnt@Mark:10:21 @ Then Jesus, beholding him, loved him, and said to him, One thing you lack: go your way, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come follow me.

rkjnt@Mark:10:22 @ And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great wealth.

rkjnt@Mark:10:23 @ And Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!

rkjnt@Mark:10:24 @ And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answered again, and said to them, Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

rkjnt@Mark:10:25 @ 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.

rkjnt@Mark:10:26 @ And they were astonished beyond measure, and said among themselves, Who then can be saved?

rkjnt@Mark:10:27 @ And Jesus looking upon them said, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

rkjnt@Mark:10:28 @ Then Peter said to him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed you.

rkjnt@Mark:10:29 @ And Jesus answered and said, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

rkjnt@Mark:10:30 @ Who shall not receive a hundredfold in this present time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

rkjnt@Mark:10:31 @ But many who are first shall be last; and the last first.

rkjnt@Mark:10:32 @ And they were on the way up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And again he took the twelve aside, and began to tell them the things that would happen to him,

rkjnt@Mark:10:33 @ Saying, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:

rkjnt@Mark:10:34 @ And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

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

rkjnt@Mark:10:36 @ And he said to them, What do you want me to do for you?

rkjnt@Mark:10:37 @ They said to him, Grant to us that we may sit, one on your right hand, and the other on your left hand, in your glory.

rkjnt@Mark:10:38 @ But Jesus said to them, You do not know what you are asking: can you drink of the cup that I drink? or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?

rkjnt@Mark:10:39 @ And they said to him, We can. And Jesus said to them, You shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink; and be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized:

rkjnt@Mark:10:41 @ And when the ten heard it, they began to be very displeased with James and John.

rkjnt@Mark:10:42 @ But Jesus called them to him, and said to them, You know that those who are regarded as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them.

rkjnt@Mark:10:43 @ But it shall not be so among you: but whoever wishes to be great among you, shall be your servant:

rkjnt@Mark:10:44 @ And whoever wants to be the first among you, shall be the slave of all.

rkjnt@Mark:10:45 @ For even the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

rkjnt@Mark:10:46 @ And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway begging.

rkjnt@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.

rkjnt@Mark:10:48 @ And many commanded him to hold his peace: but he cried out all the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.

rkjnt@Mark:10:49 @ And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they called the blind man, saying to him, Take courage, arise; he calls you.

rkjnt@Mark:10:50 @ And he cast away his cloak, arose, and came to Jesus.

rkjnt@Mark:10:51 @ And Jesus said to him, What do you want that I should do for you? The blind man said to him, Master, I want to receive my sight.

rkjnt@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 Jesus along the way.

rkjnt@Mark:11:1 @ And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sent forth two of his disciples,

rkjnt@Mark:11:2 @ And said to them, Go into the village opposite you: as soon as you enter it, you shall find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

rkjnt@Mark:11:3 @ And if any man says to you, What are you doing? say that the Lord has need of it; and will send it back immediately.

rkjnt@Mark:11:4 @ And they went their way, and found the colt tied outside in the street by a door; and they untied it.

rkjnt@Mark:11:5 @ And some of those who stood there said to them, What are you doing, untying the colt?

rkjnt@Mark:11:6 @ And they said to them what Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.

rkjnt@Mark:11:7 @ And they brought the colt to Jesus, and threw their garments on it; and he sat upon it.

rkjnt@Mark:11:8 @ And many spread their garments on the road: and others spread branches they had cut in the fields.

rkjnt@Mark:11:9 @ And those who went ahead, and those who followed, cried out, Hosanna; Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord:

rkjnt@Mark:11:10 @ Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David: Hosanna in the highest.

rkjnt@Mark:11:11 @ And Jesus entered Jerusalem, and went into the temple: and when he looked around at everything, he went out to Bethany with the twelve, since evening had come.

rkjnt@Mark:11:12 @ On the next day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry:

rkjnt@Mark:11:13 @ And seeing a fig tree far off with leaves, he went to it, to see if he might find something on it: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season for figs.

rkjnt@Mark:11:14 @ And Jesus said to it, May no man ever eat fruit from you again. And his disciples heard it.

rkjnt@Mark:11:15 @ And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold doves;

rkjnt@Mark:11:16 @ And he would not allow any man to carry merchandise through the temple.

rkjnt@Mark:11:17 @ And he taught, saying to them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations? but you have made it a den of robbers.

rkjnt@Mark:11:18 @ And the scribes and chief priests heard this, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people were astonished at his teaching.

rkjnt@Mark:11:19 @ And when evening came, he went out of the city.

rkjnt@Mark:11:20 @ And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

rkjnt@Mark:11:21 @ And Peter remembered and said to him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which you cursed has withered away.

rkjnt@Mark:11:22 @ And Jesus said to them, Have faith in God.

rkjnt@Mark:11:23 @ For truly I say to you, That whoever shall say to this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he says shall come to pass; he shall have whatever he says.

rkjnt@Mark:11:24 @ Therefore I say to you, Whatever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.

rkjnt@Mark:11:25 @ And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone: that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive your trespasses.

rkjnt@Mark:11:26 @ [But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.]

rkjnt@Mark:11:27 @ And they came again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,

rkjnt@Mark:11:28 @ And said to him, By what authority do you do these things? and who gave you this authority to do these things?

rkjnt@Mark:11:29 @ And Jesus answered them, I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

rkjnt@Mark:11:30 @ The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me.

rkjnt@Mark:11:31 @ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him?

rkjnt@Mark:11:32 @ But if we shall say, From men; they feared the people: for all held that John was indeed a prophet.

rkjnt@Mark:11:33 @ So they answered and said to Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus said to them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

rkjnt@Mark:12:1 @ And he began to speak to them in parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and dug a place for the winepress, and built a tower, and rented it out to farmers, and went to a far country.

rkjnt@Mark:12:2 @ And at harvest time he sent a servant to the farmers, that he might receive from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.

rkjnt@Mark:12:3 @ But they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

rkjnt@Mark:12:4 @ And he sent to them another servant; and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully.

rkjnt@Mark:12:5 @ And he sent another; but they killed him, and so they did to many others; beating some, and killing some.

rkjnt@Mark:12:6 @ Having yet one more to send, his well-beloved son, he sent him last of all to them, saying, They will respect my son.

rkjnt@Mark:12:7 @ But the farmers said to themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.

rkjnt@Mark:12:8 @ And they took him, and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

rkjnt@Mark:12:9 @ Therefore, what shall the owner of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.

rkjnt@Mark:12:10 @ Have you not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone:

rkjnt@Mark:12:11 @ This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

rkjnt@Mark:12:12 @ And they sought to lay hold of him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.

rkjnt@Mark:12:13 @ And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and Herodians, to catch him in his words.

rkjnt@Mark:12:14 @ And when they had come, they said to him, Teacher, we know that you are truthful, and defer to no man: for you do not regard the position of men, but teach the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

rkjnt@Mark:12:15 @ Shall we pay, or shall we not pay? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why are you testing me? bring me a denarius, that I may see it.

rkjnt@Mark:12:16 @ And they brought it. And he said to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said to him, Caesar's.

rkjnt@Mark:12:17 @ And Jesus answered, saying to them, Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.

rkjnt@Mark:12:18 @ Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him, and they questioned him, saying,

rkjnt@Mark:12:19 @ Teacher, Moses wrote for us, If a man's brother dies, and leaves his wife, but leaves no child, his brother should take his wife, and raise up children for his brother.

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

rkjnt@Mark:12:21 @ And the second took her, and died without leaving a child: and the third likewise.

rkjnt@Mark:12:22 @ All seven had her, and left no child: last of all the woman died also.

rkjnt@Mark:12:23 @ Therefore, in the resurrection, when they shall rise, which one's wife shall she be? for all seven had her as wife.

rkjnt@Mark:12:24 @ Jesus answered them, Is this not the reason you err, because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God?

rkjnt@Mark:12:25 @ For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are like the angels in heaven.

rkjnt@Mark:12:26 @ And as for the dead rising: have you not read in the book of Moses, how God spoke to him in the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

rkjnt@Mark:12:27 @ He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: therefore you are greatly mistaken.

rkjnt@Mark:12:28 @ And one of the scribes came, and having heard them arguing, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

rkjnt@Mark:12:29 @ And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

rkjnt@Mark:12:30 @ And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.

rkjnt@Mark:12:31 @ And the second is this, You shall love your neighbour as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.

rkjnt@Mark:12:32 @ And the scribe said to him, Well said, Teacher, you have spoken the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

rkjnt@Mark:12:33 @ And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbour as oneself, is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.

rkjnt@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 man dared ask him anything.

rkjnt@Mark:12:35 @ And while he taught in the temple, Jesus said, How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

rkjnt@Mark:12:36 @ For David himself said by the Holy Spirit, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.

rkjnt@Mark:12:37 @ Therefore, David himself calls him Lord; so how can he be his son? And the great crowd heard him gladly.

rkjnt@Mark:12:38 @ And in his teaching he said to them, Beware of the scribes, who love to go about in long clothing, and love greetings in the marketplaces,

rkjnt@Mark:12:39 @ And the chief seats in the synagogues, and places of honour at feasts:

rkjnt@Mark:12:40 @ They devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.

rkjnt@Mark:12:41 @ And Jesus sat across from the treasury, and watched how the people put money into the treasury: and many who were rich cast in much.

rkjnt@Mark:12:42 @ And a certain poor widow came, and she put in two small copper coins, which make a farthing.

rkjnt@Mark:12:43 @ And he called his disciples to him, and said to them, Truly I say to you, That this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others:

rkjnt@Mark:12:44 @ For all the others gave out of their abundance; but she gave out of her poverty, putting in everything she had, all she had to live on.

rkjnt@Mark:13:1 @ And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, Teacher, see what wonderful stones and buildings!

rkjnt@Mark:13:2 @ Jesus said to him, Do you see these great buildings? there shall not be one stone left upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

rkjnt@Mark:13:3 @ And as he sat upon the mount of Olives across from the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

rkjnt@Mark:13:4 @ Tell us, when shall these things be? and what will be the sign that all these things are about to be fulfilled?

rkjnt@Mark:13:5 @ And Jesus said to them, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

rkjnt@Mark:13:6 @ For many will come in my name, saying, I am he; and shall deceive many.

rkjnt@Mark:13:7 @ And when you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be troubled: for such things must happen; but the end is not yet.

rkjnt@Mark:13:8 @ For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in various places, and there shall be famines: these are the beginnings of birth pains.

rkjnt@Mark:13:9 @ But take heed for yourselves: for they will deliver you up to councils; and you shall be beaten in the synagogues: and you shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them.

rkjnt@Mark:13:10 @ And the gospel must first be preached among all nations.

rkjnt@Mark:13:11 @ But when they bring you to trial, do not worry about what you shall say: but whatever is given to you in that hour, speak that: for it is not you who speaks, but the Holy Spirit.

rkjnt@Mark:13:12 @ Now brother will betray brother to death, and a father his son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.

rkjnt@Mark:13:13 @ And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake: but he who endures to the end shall be saved.

rkjnt@Mark:13:14 @ When you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be, (let him who reads understand,) then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains:

rkjnt@Mark:13:15 @ And let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter it to take anything out of his house:

rkjnt@Mark:13:16 @ And let him who is in the field not turn back again for his cloak.

rkjnt@Mark:13:18 @ Pray that your flight may not be in the winter.

rkjnt@Mark:13:19 @ For in those days there shall be affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of God's creation to this time, nor ever shall be again.

rkjnt@Mark:13:20 @ And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no one would be saved: but for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened the days.

rkjnt@Mark:13:21 @ And then if any man says to you, Lo, here is the Christ; or, lo, there he is; do not believe him:

rkjnt@Mark:13:22 @ For false Christs and false prophets shall arise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

rkjnt@Mark:13:23 @ But take heed: behold, I have told you all things in advance.

rkjnt@Mark:13:24 @ But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

rkjnt@Mark:13:25 @ And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

rkjnt@Mark:13:26 @ And then they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

rkjnt@Mark:13:27 @ And then he shall send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the remotest part of the earth to the remotest part of heaven.

rkjnt@Mark:13:28 @ Now learn a parable from the fig tree; When its branch becomes tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near:

rkjnt@Mark:13:29 @ Even so, when you see these things come to pass, know that it is near, even at the door.

rkjnt@Mark:13:30 @ Truly I say to you, that this generation shall not pass away, until all these things have happened.

rkjnt@Mark:13:31 @ Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

rkjnt@Mark:13:32 @ But of that day and that hour no man knows, no, not even the angels which are in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

rkjnt@Mark:13:33 @ Take heed, watch and pray: for you do not know when the time will come.

rkjnt@Mark:13:34 @ It is like a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to each man his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.

rkjnt@Mark:13:35 @ Watch therefore: for you do not know when the master of the house comes, at evening, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

rkjnt@Mark:13:36 @ Lest he come suddenly and find you sleeping.

rkjnt@Mark:14:1 @ After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him secretly, and put him to death.

rkjnt@Mark:14:2 @ But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

rkjnt@Mark:14:3 @ And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he reclined at table, there came a woman having an alabaster vial of perfume of pure nard; and she broke the vial, and poured it on his head.

rkjnt@Mark:14:4 @ And some were indignant, and said to themselves, Why was this perfume wasted?

rkjnt@Mark:14:5 @ For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and have been given to the poor. And they reproved her.

rkjnt@Mark:14:6 @ And Jesus said, Let her alone; why are you troubling her? she has done a beautiful thing to me.

rkjnt@Mark:14:7 @ For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good: but you will not always have me.

rkjnt@Mark:14:8 @ She has done what she could: she has come beforehand to anoint my body for burial.

rkjnt@Mark:14:9 @ Truly I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, what she has done shall be spoken of in remembrance of her.

rkjnt@Mark:14:10 @ And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, to betray him to them.

rkjnt@Mark:14:11 @ And when they heard this, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought an opportunity to betray him.

rkjnt@Mark:14:12 @ On the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover lamb, his disciples said to him, Where do you want us to go and prepare the passover for you to eat?

rkjnt@Mark:14:13 @ And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, Go into the city, and there you shall meet a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him.

rkjnt@Mark:14:14 @ And wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, The Teacher says, Where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

rkjnt@Mark:14:15 @ And he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready: make preparations for us there.

rkjnt@Mark:14:16 @ And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found it as he had said to them: and they made the passover ready.

rkjnt@Mark:14:17 @ And in the evening he came with the twelve.

rkjnt@Mark:14:18 @ And as they sat and ate, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, One of you who eats with me shall betray me.

rkjnt@Mark:14:19 @ And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, Is it I?

rkjnt@Mark:14:20 @ And he answered them, It is one of the twelve, one who dips with me in the bowl.

rkjnt@Mark:14:21 @ The Son of man shall indeed go, just as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it would be better for that man if he had never been born.

rkjnt@Mark:14:22 @ And as they ate, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave to them, and said, Take it: this is my body.

rkjnt@Mark:14:23 @ And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank from it.

rkjnt@Mark:14:24 @ And he said to them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many.

rkjnt@Mark:14:25 @ Truly I say to you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.

rkjnt@Mark:14:26 @ And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.

rkjnt@Mark:14:27 @ And Jesus said to them, All you shall fall away because of me: for it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.

rkjnt@Mark:14:30 @ And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, That this day, this very night, before the cock crows twice, you shall deny me three times.

rkjnt@Mark:14:31 @ But he spoke the more vehemently, If I should die with you, I will not deny you. And they all said the same.

rkjnt@Mark:14:32 @ And they came to a place named Gethsemane: and he said to his disciples, Sit here, while I pray.

rkjnt@Mark:14:33 @ And he took with him Peter and James and John, and he began to be filled with horror and deeply troubled;

rkjnt@Mark:14:34 @ And he said to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, to the point of death: stay here, and watch.

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

rkjnt@Mark:14:36 @ And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible for you; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what you will.

rkjnt@Mark:14:37 @ And he came, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, Simon, are you sleeping? could you not watch for one hour?

rkjnt@Mark:14:38 @ Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

rkjnt@Mark:14:39 @ And again he went away, and prayed, and spoke the same words.

rkjnt@Mark:14:40 @ And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) and they did not know what to answer him.

rkjnt@Mark:14:41 @ And he came the third time, and said to them, Are you still sleeping and resting? enough, the hour has come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

rkjnt@Mark:14:42 @ Rise up, let us go; behold, he who betrays me is at hand.

rkjnt@Mark:14:43 @ And immediately, while he yet spoke, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

rkjnt@Mark:14:44 @ And he who betrayed him had given them a signal, saying, Whomever I kiss is the one; take him, and lead him away safely.

rkjnt@Mark:14:45 @ And as soon as he came, he went immediately to him, and said, Master; and kissed him.

rkjnt@Mark:14:46 @ And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

rkjnt@Mark:14:47 @ And one of those who stood nearby drew a sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

rkjnt@Mark:14:48 @ And Jesus said to them, Have you come out, as against a thief, with swords and clubs to take me?

rkjnt@Mark:14:49 @ I was with you daily in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.

rkjnt@Mark:14:50 @ And they all forsook him, and fled.

rkjnt@Mark:14:51 @ And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth wrapped around his naked body; and they laid hold on him:

rkjnt@Mark:14:52 @ But he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

rkjnt@Mark:14:53 @ And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes were assembled.

rkjnt@Mark:14:54 @ And Peter followed him from afar, even into the courtyard of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

rkjnt@Mark:14:55 @ And the chief priests and all the council sought for testimony against Jesus to put him to death; but found none.

rkjnt@Mark:14:56 @ For many bore false witness against him, but their testimonies did not agree.

rkjnt@Mark:14:58 @ We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

rkjnt@Mark:14:59 @ But even then their testimonies did not agree.

rkjnt@Mark:14:60 @ And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, Have you no answer? what is it that these men are testifying against you?

rkjnt@Mark:14:61 @ But he held his peace, and said nothing. Again the high priest asked him, Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?

rkjnt@Mark:14:62 @ And Jesus said, I am: and you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

rkjnt@Mark:14:63 @ Then the high priest tore his clothes, and said, Why do we need any further witnesses?

rkjnt@Mark:14:64 @ You have heard the blasphemy: what do you think? And they all condemned him as worthy of death.

rkjnt@Mark:14:65 @ And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to strike him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and as the guards took him they beat him with their fists.

rkjnt@Mark:14:66 @ And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the maids of the high priest came:

rkjnt@Mark:14:67 @ And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, You also were with Jesus of Nazareth.

rkjnt@Mark:14:68 @ But he denied it, saying, I do not know or understand what you are saying. And he went out into the entryway.

rkjnt@Mark:14:69 @ And the maid saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by, This is one of them.

rkjnt@Mark:14:70 @ And he denied it again. And a little later, those who stood nearby again said to Peter, Surely you are one of them: for you are also a Galilaean.

rkjnt@Mark:14:71 @ But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I do not know this man of whom you speak.

rkjnt@Mark:14:72 @ And the second time the cock crowed. And Peter remembered that Jesus said to him, Before the cock crows twice, you shall deny me three times. And when he remembered this, he wept.

rkjnt@Mark:15:1 @ And immediately in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

rkjnt@Mark:15:2 @ And Pilate asked him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he said to him, You say so.

rkjnt@Mark:15:3 @ And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

rkjnt@Mark:15:4 @ And Pilate asked him again, saying, Have you no answer to make? behold how many things they testify against you.

rkjnt@Mark:15:5 @ But Jesus made no further answer; so that Pilate was amazed.

rkjnt@Mark:15:6 @ Now at the feast he released to them one prisoner, whomever they requested.

rkjnt@Mark:15:7 @ And there was one named Barabbas, who was in prison with his fellow rebels, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

rkjnt@Mark:15:8 @ And the multitude approached and began asking him to do for them as he usually did.

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

rkjnt@Mark:15:10 @ For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him out of envy.

rkjnt@Mark:15:11 @ But the chief priests incited the people to have him release Barabbas to them.

rkjnt@Mark:15:12 @ And Pilate answered and said again to them, What then shall I do with him whom you call the King of the Jews?

rkjnt@Mark:15:13 @ And they cried out again, Crucify him.

rkjnt@Mark:15:14 @ Then Pilate said to them, Why, what evil has he done? And they cried out all the louder, Crucify him.

rkjnt@Mark:15:15 @ And so Pilate, wanting to satisfy the people, released Barabbas to them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

rkjnt@Mark:15:16 @ And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called the Praetorium; and they called together the whole band of soldiers.

rkjnt@Mark:15:17 @ And they clothed him with purple, and weaved a crown of thorns, and put it on him,

rkjnt@Mark:15:18 @ And began to acclaim him, Hail, King of the Jews!

rkjnt@Mark:15:19 @ And they struck him on the head with a cane, and spat upon him, and bowed their knees in worship to him.

rkjnt@Mark:15:20 @ And when they had mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

rkjnt@Mark:15:21 @ And they compelled Simon, a Cyrenian who was passing by on his way in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

rkjnt@Mark:15:22 @ And they brought him to the place called Golgotha, which means, The place of a skull.

rkjnt@Mark:15:23 @ And they gave him wine to drink mingled with myrrh: but he would not take it.

rkjnt@Mark:15:24 @ And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots for them, to decide what each man should take.

rkjnt@Mark:15:25 @ And it was the third hour when they crucified him.

rkjnt@Mark:15:26 @ And the inscription of the accusation against him was written above him, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

rkjnt@Mark:15:27 @ And with him they crucified two thieves; one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

rkjnt@Mark:15:28 @ [And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, And he was numbered with the transgressors.]

rkjnt@Mark:15:29 @ And those who passed by kept abusing him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, you who would destroy the temple, and build it in three days,

rkjnt@Mark:15:30 @ Save yourself, and come down from the cross.

rkjnt@Mark:15:31 @ Likewise, the chief priests mocked him among themselves and with the scribes, He saved others; but he cannot save himself.

rkjnt@Mark:15:32 @ Let Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

rkjnt@Mark:15:33 @ And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

rkjnt@Mark:15:34 @ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which means, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

rkjnt@Mark:15:35 @ And some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he is calling Elijah.

rkjnt@Mark:15:36 @ And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, Wait; let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.

rkjnt@Mark:15:37 @ And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed his last.

rkjnt@Mark:15:38 @ And the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.

rkjnt@Mark:15:39 @ And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw how he breathed his last, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

rkjnt@Mark:15:40 @ There were also women looking on from afar: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

rkjnt@Mark:15:41 @ (Who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered to him;) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

rkjnt@Mark:15:42 @ And when the evening had come, because it was the preparation day, that is, the day before the sabbath,

rkjnt@Mark:15:43 @ Joseph of Arimathaea, an honoured member of the council, who also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

rkjnt@Mark:15:44 @ And Pilate wondered if he was dead so soon: and calling the centurion, he asked him if he was already dead.

rkjnt@Mark:15:45 @ And when he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph.

rkjnt@Mark:15:46 @ So he bought a fine linen cloth, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a tomb which was cut out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

rkjnt@Mark:15:47 @ Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses watched where he was laid.

rkjnt@Mark:16:1 @ And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought sweet spices, that they might go and anoint him.

rkjnt@Mark:16:2 @ And very early in the morning of the first day of the week, they came to the tomb at the rising of the sun.

rkjnt@Mark:16:3 @ And they said to one another, Who shall roll the stone away from the door of the tomb for us?

rkjnt@Mark:16:4 @ And when they looked, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled away.

rkjnt@Mark:16:5 @ And entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were amazed.

rkjnt@Mark:16:6 @ And he said to them, Do not be afraid: You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified: he has risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

rkjnt@Mark:16:7 @ But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goes before you into Galilee: there you shall see him, as he told you.

rkjnt@Mark:16:8 @ And they went out quickly, and fled from the tomb; for they were trembling and amazed: and they said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.

rkjnt@Mark:16:9 @ [Now when Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

rkjnt@Mark:16:10 @ And she went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

rkjnt@Mark:16:11 @ And they, when they heard that he was alive, and that she had seen him, did not believe.

rkjnt@Mark:16:12 @ After that he appeared in another form to two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

rkjnt@Mark:16:13 @ And they went and told it to the others, who also did not believe them.

rkjnt@Mark:16:14 @ Afterward, he appeared to the eleven as they sat eating, and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who saw him after he had risen.

rkjnt@Mark:16:15 @ And he said to them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

rkjnt@Mark:16:16 @ He who believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he who does not believe shall be condemned.

rkjnt@Mark:16:17 @ And these signs shall follow those who believe; In my name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

rkjnt@Mark:16:18 @ They shall pick up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

rkjnt@Mark:16:19 @ So after the Lord had spoken to them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

rkjnt@Mark:16:20 @ And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with accompanying signs.]

rkjnt@Luke:1:2 @ Just as they have been delivered to us, by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

rkjnt@Luke:1:3 @ It seemed good to me also, having carefully investigated all these things from the very beginning, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent Theophilus,

rkjnt@Luke:1:4 @ That you might know the certainty of those things, about which you have been instructed.

rkjnt@Luke:1:5 @ There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abija: and his wife was one of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

rkjnt@Luke:1:6 @ And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.

rkjnt@Luke:1:7 @ And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both now well along in years.

rkjnt@Luke:1:8 @ And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's service before God while his division was on duty,

rkjnt@Luke:1:9 @ According to the custom of the priest's office, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.

rkjnt@Luke:1:10 @ And the whole multitude of people were praying outside at the time of incense offering.

rkjnt@Luke:1:11 @ And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

rkjnt@Luke:1:12 @ And when Zechariah saw him, he was troubled, and fear came upon him.

rkjnt@Luke:1:13 @ But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zechariah: for your prayer has been heard; and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

rkjnt@Luke:1:15 @ For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.

rkjnt@Luke:1:16 @ And he shall turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.

rkjnt@Luke:1:17 @ And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

rkjnt@Luke:1:18 @ And Zechariah said to the angel, How shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is well along in years.

rkjnt@Luke:1:19 @ And the angel answered him, I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; and have been sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.

rkjnt@Luke:1:20 @ Behold, you shall be silent, unable to speak, until the day that these things come to pass, because you have not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.

rkjnt@Luke:1:21 @ And the people waited for Zechariah, and wondered why he delayed so long in the temple.

rkjnt@Luke:1:22 @ And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned to them, and remained speechless.

rkjnt@Luke:1:23 @ And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his service were finished, he departed to his own house.

rkjnt@Luke:1:24 @ And after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,

rkjnt@Luke:1:25 @ Thus has the Lord dealt with me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my disgrace among men.

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

rkjnt@Luke:1:27 @ To a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

rkjnt@Luke:1:28 @ And the angel came to her, and said, Hail, you who are highly favoured, the Lord is with you.

rkjnt@Luke:1:29 @ And she was troubled at his words, and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.

rkjnt@Luke:1:30 @ And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary, for you have found favour with God.

rkjnt@Luke:1:32 @ He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God shall give to him the throne of his father David:

rkjnt@Luke:1:33 @ And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

rkjnt@Luke:1:34 @ Then Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, since I am a virgin?

rkjnt@Luke:1:35 @ And the angel answered her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you: therefore the holy child to be born shall be called the Son of God.

rkjnt@Luke:1:36 @ And, behold, your cousin Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age: and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.

rkjnt@Luke:1:38 @ And Mary said, Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word. And the angel departed from her.

rkjnt@Luke:1:39 @ And at that time Mary arose, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah;

rkjnt@Luke:1:40 @ And entered into the house of Zechariah, and greeted Elizabeth.

rkjnt@Luke:1:41 @ And it came to pass, that, when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit:

rkjnt@Luke:1:42 @ And she spoke out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

rkjnt@Luke:1:43 @ And why do I deserve to have the mother of my Lord come to me?

rkjnt@Luke:1:44 @ For, lo, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy.

rkjnt@Luke:1:45 @ And blessed is she who believed that those things which were told her from the Lord would be fulfilled.

rkjnt@Luke:1:46 @ And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,

rkjnt@Luke:1:48 @ For he has looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

rkjnt@Luke:1:49 @ For he who is mighty has done great things for me; and holy is his name.

rkjnt@Luke:1:51 @ He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered those who were proud in the imagination of their hearts.

rkjnt@Luke:1:52 @ He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the humble.

rkjnt@Luke:1:53 @ He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he has sent away empty.

rkjnt@Luke:1:54 @ He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;

rkjnt@Luke:1:55 @ As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed forever.

rkjnt@Luke:1:56 @ And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her own house.

rkjnt@Luke:1:57 @ Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth; and she brought forth a son.

rkjnt@Luke:1:58 @ And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shown great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

rkjnt@Luke:1:59 @ And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they were going to call him Zechariah, after the name of his father.

rkjnt@Luke:1:60 @ And his mother answered and said, No; he shall be called John.

rkjnt@Luke:1:61 @ And they said to her, There is no one of your family who is called by this name.

rkjnt@Luke:1:62 @ And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called.

rkjnt@Luke:1:63 @ And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, His name is John. And they all marvelled.

rkjnt@Luke:1:64 @ And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.

rkjnt@Luke:1:65 @ And fear came upon all who lived around them: and all these things were spoken of throughout all the hill country of Judaea.

rkjnt@Luke:1:66 @ And all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What shall this child shall turn out to be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.

rkjnt@Luke:1:67 @ And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,

rkjnt@Luke:1:68 @ Blessed is the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people,

rkjnt@Luke:1:69 @ And has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;

rkjnt@Luke:1:70 @ As he spoke by the mouths of his holy prophets, from long ago:

rkjnt@Luke:1:71 @ That we would be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us;

rkjnt@Luke:1:72 @ To show the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;

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

rkjnt@Luke:1:74 @ That he would grant to us, that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear,

rkjnt@Luke:1:75 @ In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our lives.

rkjnt@Luke:1:76 @ And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High: for you shall go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;

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

rkjnt@Luke:1:78 @ Through the tender mercy of our God, the sunrise from on high will visit us,

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

rkjnt@Luke:1:80 @ And the child grew, and grew strong in spirit, and lived in the deserts until the day of his public appearance to Israel.

rkjnt@Luke:2:1 @ And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

rkjnt@Luke:2:2 @ (This was the first census taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria.)

rkjnt@Luke:2:4 @ And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

rkjnt@Luke:2:6 @ And so it was, that, while they were there, the time came for her to give birth.

rkjnt@Luke:2:7 @ And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in strips of cloth, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

rkjnt@Luke:2:8 @ And in that same region there were shepherds in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

rkjnt@Luke:2:9 @ And, lo, an angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were very afraid.

rkjnt@Luke:2:10 @ And the angel said to them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good news of great joy, which shall be for all people.

rkjnt@Luke:2:11 @ For to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.

rkjnt@Luke:2:13 @ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

rkjnt@Luke:2:14 @ Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men with whom he is pleased.

rkjnt@Luke:2:15 @ And it came to pass, as the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Let us go straight to Bethlehem, and see this thing which has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.

rkjnt@Luke:2:16 @ And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger.

rkjnt@Luke:2:17 @ And when they had seen, they made known what was told them concerning this child.

rkjnt@Luke:2:18 @ And all those who heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

rkjnt@Luke:2:19 @ But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

rkjnt@Luke:2:20 @ And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told to them.

rkjnt@Luke:2:21 @ And when eight days had passed, when he was to be circumcised, he was given the name JESUS, the name given him by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

rkjnt@Luke:2:22 @ And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were finished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;

rkjnt@Luke:2:23 @ (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

rkjnt@Luke:2:24 @ And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.

rkjnt@Luke:2:25 @ And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and he was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

rkjnt@Luke:2:26 @ And it was revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

rkjnt@Luke:2:27 @ And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,

rkjnt@Luke:2:28 @ He took him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

rkjnt@Luke:2:31 @ Which you have prepared in the presence of all people;

rkjnt@Luke:2:32 @ A light of revelation for the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.

rkjnt@Luke:2:33 @ And his father and mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

rkjnt@Luke:2:34 @ And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is appointed to cause the fall and rising of many in Israel; and to be a sign which shall be spoken against;

rkjnt@Luke:2:35 @ (Yea, a sword shall pierce through your own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

rkjnt@Luke:2:36 @ And there was Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher: she was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity;

rkjnt@Luke:2:37 @ And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fasting and prayer night and day.

rkjnt@Luke:2:38 @ And coming at that hour she also gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who looked for the redemption of Jerusalem.

rkjnt@Luke:2:39 @ And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city of Nazareth.

rkjnt@Luke:2:40 @ And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

rkjnt@Luke:2:41 @ Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.

rkjnt@Luke:2:42 @ And when he was twelve years old, they went up to the feast, according to the custom.

rkjnt@Luke:2:43 @ And after they had spent the full number of days, as they returned, the child Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem; and his parents did not know.

rkjnt@Luke:2:44 @ But supposing him to have been in their company, they went a day's journey; then they sought him among their relatives and acquaintances.

rkjnt@Luke:2:45 @ And when they could not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.

rkjnt@Luke:2:46 @ And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

rkjnt@Luke:2:47 @ And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

rkjnt@Luke:2:48 @ And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said to him, Son, why have you treated us this way? behold, your father and I have sought you anxiously.

rkjnt@Luke:2:49 @ And he said to them, Why were you seeking me? did you not know that I must be about my Father's business?

rkjnt@Luke:2:50 @ And they did not understand what he said to them.

rkjnt@Luke:2:51 @ And he went down with them, to Nazareth, and was obedient to them: but his mother kept all these things in her heart.

rkjnt@Luke:3:1 @ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judaea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

rkjnt@Luke:3:2 @ When Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

rkjnt@Luke:3:3 @ And he went into all the country about the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins;

rkjnt@Luke:3:4 @ As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

rkjnt@Luke:3:5 @ Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

rkjnt@Luke:3:6 @ And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

rkjnt@Luke:3:7 @ Then he said to the multitude that came forth to be baptized by him, O generation of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

rkjnt@Luke:3:8 @ Bring forth fruit worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, We have Abraham as our father: for I say to you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones.

rkjnt@Luke:3:9 @ Even now the axe is laid at the root of the trees: every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.

rkjnt@Luke:3:10 @ And the people asked him, What shall we do then?

rkjnt@Luke:3:11 @ He answered and said to them, He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise.

rkjnt@Luke:3:12 @ Then tax gatherers also came to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what shall we do?

rkjnt@Luke:3:13 @ And he said to them, Collect no more than you have been ordered to.

rkjnt@Luke:3:14 @ And the soldiers likewise questioned him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said to them, Do not extort money from anyone or accuse anyone falsely; and be content with your wages.

rkjnt@Luke:3:15 @ And as the people were expectant, and wondering in their hearts if John was the Christ,

rkjnt@Luke:3:16 @ John answered, saying to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I comes, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire:

rkjnt@Luke:3:17 @ Whose winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly clear his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.

rkjnt@Luke:3:18 @ And in his exhortation he preached many other things to the people.

rkjnt@Luke:3:19 @ But Herod the tetrarch, having been reproved by him because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and because of all the evils which Herod had done,

rkjnt@Luke:3:20 @ Added this to them all: he shut John up in prison.

rkjnt@Luke:3:21 @ Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also was baptized, and as he was praying, heaven was opened,

rkjnt@Luke:3:22 @ And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased.

rkjnt@Luke:3:23 @ And Jesus was about thirty years of age when he began his work, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, who was the son of Heli,

rkjnt@Luke:3:24 @ The son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,

rkjnt@Luke:4:1 @ And Jesus, being full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness,

rkjnt@Luke:4:2 @ For forty days, while tempted by the devil. And during those days he ate nothing: and when they had ended, he was hungry.

rkjnt@Luke:4:3 @ And the devil said to him, If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.

rkjnt@Luke:4:5 @ And the devil, taking him up to a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

rkjnt@Luke:4:6 @ And the devil said to him, I will give you all this power and its glory: for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I will.

rkjnt@Luke:4:7 @ Therefore if you will worship me, it shall all be yours.

rkjnt@Luke:4:8 @ Jesus answered him, It is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.

rkjnt@Luke:4:9 @ And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here:

rkjnt@Luke:4:10 @ For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you:

rkjnt@Luke:4:11 @ And in their hands they shall bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.

rkjnt@Luke:4:12 @ And Jesus answered and said to him, It is said, You shall not tempt the Lord your God.

rkjnt@Luke:4:13 @ And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.

rkjnt@Luke:4:14 @ And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee: and news about him went out to all the surrounding region.

rkjnt@Luke:4:15 @ And he taught in their synagogues, and was praised by all.

rkjnt@Luke:4:16 @ And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as was his custom, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.

rkjnt@Luke:4:17 @ And there was given to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

rkjnt@Luke:4:18 @ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed,

rkjnt@Luke:4:19 @ To preach the year of the Lord's favour.

rkjnt@Luke:4:20 @ And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the attendant, and sat down. And the eyes of all those who were in the synagogue were fastened upon him.

rkjnt@Luke:4:21 @ And he said to them, Today is this scripture fulfilled in your hearing.

rkjnt@Luke:4:22 @ And all spoke well of him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is this not Joseph's son?

rkjnt@Luke:4:23 @ And he said to them, You will surely quote to me this proverb, Physician, heal yourself: whatever we have heard you did in Capernaum, do here in your home town as well.

rkjnt@Luke:4:24 @ And he said, Truly I say to you, No prophet is accepted in his own home town.

rkjnt@Luke:4:25 @ But I tell you a truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when there was great famine throughout all the land;

rkjnt@Luke:4:26 @ But Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to Sarepta, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

rkjnt@Luke:4:27 @ And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, only Naaman the Syrian.

rkjnt@Luke:4:28 @ And all in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with anger,

rkjnt@Luke:4:29 @ And rose up, and drove him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might cast him down the cliff.

rkjnt@Luke:4:30 @ But he passed through the midst of them and went his way,

rkjnt@Luke:4:31 @ And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.

rkjnt@Luke:4:32 @ And they were astonished at his teaching: for his word was with power.

rkjnt@Luke:4:33 @ And in the synagogue there was a man, who had a spirit of an unclean devil, and he cried out with a loud voice,

rkjnt@Luke:4:34 @ Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are; the Holy One of God.

rkjnt@Luke:4:35 @ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold your peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, without doing him any harm.

rkjnt@Luke:4:36 @ And they were all amazed, and spoke among themselves, saying, What word is this? for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.

rkjnt@Luke:4:37 @ And his fame went out into every part of the surrounding country.

rkjnt@Luke:4:38 @ And he arose and left the synagogue, and entered Simon's house. And Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a burning fever; and they begged with him for her.

rkjnt@Luke:4:39 @ And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and served them.

rkjnt@Luke:4:40 @ Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

rkjnt@Luke:4:41 @ And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, You are the Son of God. And he rebuked them and did not allow them to speak: for they knew that he was the Christ.

rkjnt@Luke:4:42 @ And when it was day, he departed and went into a lonely place: and the people sought him, and came to him, and tried to keep him from leaving them.

rkjnt@Luke:4:43 @ But he said to them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for I was sent for that purpose.

rkjnt@Luke:4:44 @ And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

rkjnt@Luke:5:1 @ And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,

rkjnt@Luke:5:2 @ And saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gotten out of them, and were washing their nets.

rkjnt@Luke:5:3 @ And he got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people from the boat.

rkjnt@Luke:5:4 @ Now when he finished speaking, he said to Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch.

rkjnt@Luke:5:5 @ And Simon answered him, Master, we have toiled all night, and have caught nothing: nevertheless at your word I will let down the net.

rkjnt@Luke:5:6 @ And when they had done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fish: and their net began to break.

rkjnt@Luke:5:7 @ And they beckoned to their partners, who were in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.

rkjnt@Luke:5:8 @ When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

rkjnt@Luke:5:9 @ For he was astonished, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken:

rkjnt@Luke:5:10 @ And so were James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; from now on you shall catch men.

rkjnt@Luke:5:11 @ And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.

rkjnt@Luke:5:12 @ And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, there came a man full of leprosy; who, seeing Jesus, fell on his face and begged him, saying, Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.

rkjnt@Luke:5:13 @ And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

rkjnt@Luke:5:14 @ And he ordered him to tell no man: But go, and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.

rkjnt@Luke:5:15 @ But his fame was spread abroad so much the more: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

rkjnt@Luke:5:16 @ And he withdrew into the wilderness, and prayed.

rkjnt@Luke:5:17 @ And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting there, who had come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present for him to heal.

rkjnt@Luke:5:18 @ And, behold, men brought a man on a mat who was paralysed: and they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before him.

rkjnt@Luke:5:19 @ And when they could not find a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up on the roof, and let him down through the tiling with his mat into the midst of the crowd in front of Jesus.

rkjnt@Luke:5:20 @ And when he saw their faith, he said to him, Man, your sins are forgiven.

rkjnt@Luke:5:21 @ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?

rkjnt@Luke:5:22 @ But Jesus, aware of their thoughts, answered and said to them, Why do you question in your hearts?

rkjnt@Luke:5:24 @ But that you may know that the Son of man has power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said to the paralytic,) I say to you, Arise, and take up your mat, and go to your house.

rkjnt@Luke:5:25 @ And immediately he rose up before them, and took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.

rkjnt@Luke:5:26 @ And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things today.

rkjnt@Luke:5:27 @ And after these things he went forth, and saw a tax gatherer, named Levi, sitting at the tax office; and he said to him, Follow me.

rkjnt@Luke:5:28 @ And he left all, rose up, and followed him.

rkjnt@Luke:5:29 @ And Levi made a great feast in his own house for him: and there was a great company of tax gatherers and of others who were reclining at table with them.

rkjnt@Luke:5:30 @ But the scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do you eat and drink with tax gatherers and sinners?

rkjnt@Luke:5:31 @ And Jesus answered and said to them, Those who are well do not need a physician; but those who are sick.

rkjnt@Luke:5:32 @ I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

rkjnt@Luke:5:33 @ And they said to him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but yours eat and drink?

rkjnt@Luke:5:34 @ And he said to them, Can you make the wedding guests fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

rkjnt@Luke:5:35 @ But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast in those days.

rkjnt@Luke:5:36 @ And he also spoke a parable to them; No man puts a piece of a new garment upon an old garment; if he does, then the new garment is torn, and the piece that was taken out of the new garment does not match the old.

rkjnt@Luke:5:37 @ And no man puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does the new wine will burst the skins, and be spilled, and the skins will be ruined.

rkjnt@Luke:5:38 @ But new wine must be put into new skins; then both are preserved.

rkjnt@Luke:5:39 @ And no man having drunk old wine desires the new: for he says, The old is better.

rkjnt@Luke:6:1 @ And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the grain fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of grain, and ate them, rubbing them in their hands.

rkjnt@Luke:6:2 @ And some of the Pharisees said to them, Why do you do what is not lawful to do on the sabbath?

rkjnt@Luke:6:3 @ And Jesus answered and said to them, Have you not even read what David did, when he was hungry, he and those who were with him;

rkjnt@Luke:6:4 @ How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the showbread, and gave also to those who were with him; although it is not lawful for anyone but the priests to eat of it?

rkjnt@Luke:6:5 @ And he said to them, The Son of man is Lord of the sabbath.

rkjnt@Luke:6:6 @ And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.

rkjnt@Luke:6:7 @ And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, to see if he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find a reason to accuse him.

rkjnt@Luke:6:8 @ But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man with the withered hand, Rise up, and stand here. And he arose and stood there.

rkjnt@Luke:6:9 @ Then Jesus said to them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?

rkjnt@Luke:6:10 @ And looking around at them all, he said to the man, Stretch forth your hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored.

rkjnt@Luke:6:11 @ And they were filled with rage; and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

rkjnt@Luke:6:12 @ And it came to pass in those days, that he went out to a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

rkjnt@Luke:6:13 @ And when it was day, he called his disciples: and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles;

rkjnt@Luke:6:14 @ Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

rkjnt@Luke:6:15 @ Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot,

rkjnt@Luke:6:16 @ And Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

rkjnt@Luke:6:17 @ And he came down with them, and stood on a level place; and there was the company of his disciples and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;

rkjnt@Luke:6:18 @ And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were healed.

rkjnt@Luke:6:19 @ And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for power came from him, and healed them all.

rkjnt@Luke:6:20 @ And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed are you who are poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

rkjnt@Luke:6:22 @ Blessed are you, when men hate you, and when they exclude you, and insult you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

rkjnt@Luke:6:23 @ Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward in heaven is great: for their fathers did the same to the prophets.

rkjnt@Luke:6:26 @ Woe to you, when all men speak well of you! for so their fathers did to the false prophets.

rkjnt@Luke:6:27 @ But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

rkjnt@Luke:6:29 @ And to him who strikes you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and from him who takes away your coat do not withhold your shirt either.

rkjnt@Luke:6:31 @ And as you would have men do to you, do the same to them.

rkjnt@Luke:6:32 @ For if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? for sinners also love those who love them.

rkjnt@Luke:6:33 @ And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? for sinners also do the same.

rkjnt@Luke:6:35 @ But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the children of the Most High: for he is kind to the unthankful and to the evil.

rkjnt@Luke:6:36 @ Be merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

rkjnt@Luke:6:38 @ Give, and it shall be given to you; a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, shall men put in your lap. For the measure you give to others shall be the same measure given back to you.

rkjnt@Luke:6:39 @ And he spoke a parable to them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

rkjnt@Luke:6:40 @ The disciple is not above his teacher: but every one who is fully trained shall be like his teacher.

rkjnt@Luke:6:41 @ And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the beam that is in your own eye?

rkjnt@Luke:6:42 @ Or how can you say to your brother, Brother, let me pull out the speck that is in your eye, when you do not even see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you shall see clearly to pull out the speck that is in your brother's eye.

rkjnt@Luke:6:44 @ For every tree is known by its fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorn bushes, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.

rkjnt@Luke:6:45 @ A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for from the overflow of the heart his mouth speaks.

rkjnt@Luke:6:46 @ And why do you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not do the things which I say?

rkjnt@Luke:6:47 @ I will show you what he is like who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them:

rkjnt@Luke:6:48 @ He is like a man who built a house, and dug deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the river beat violently upon that house, but could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

rkjnt@Luke:6:49 @ But he who hears, and does not obey, is like a man who built a house upon the ground without a foundation; and the river beat violently against it, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

rkjnt@Luke:7:1 @ Now when he finished saying all this in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.

rkjnt@Luke:7:3 @ And when he heard of Jesus, he sent the elders of the Jews to him, begging him to come and heal his servant.

rkjnt@Luke:7:4 @ And when they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, He is worthy to have you do this for him:

rkjnt@Luke:7:5 @ For he loves our nation, and he has built us a synagogue.

rkjnt@Luke:7:6 @ Then Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble yourself: for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof:

rkjnt@Luke:7:7 @ Nor did I think myself worthy to come to you: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

rkjnt@Luke:7:8 @ For I also am a man under authority, having under me soldiers; and I say to one, Go, and he goes, and to another, Come, and he comes, and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

rkjnt@Luke:7:9 @ When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and said to the people who followed him, I say to you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.

rkjnt@Luke:7:10 @ And those who were sent, returned to the house, and found the slave well.

rkjnt@Luke:7:11 @ And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, as did many people.

rkjnt@Luke:7:12 @ Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and many people from the city were with her.

rkjnt@Luke:7:13 @ And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, Do not weep.

rkjnt@Luke:7:14 @ And he came and touched the coffin, and those who bore it stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to you, Arise.

rkjnt@Luke:7:15 @ And the dead man sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him back to his mother.

rkjnt@Luke:7:16 @ And fear came upon them all: and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is risen up among us; and, God has visited his people.

rkjnt@Luke:7:17 @ And this report of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the surrounding region.

rkjnt@Luke:7:18 @ And the disciples of John told him of all these things.

rkjnt@Luke:7:19 @ And John, calling to him two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, Are you he who is to come? or should we look for another?

rkjnt@Luke:7:20 @ When the men had come to him, they said, John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, Are you he who is to come? or should we look for another?

rkjnt@Luke:7:21 @ And in that same hour he cured many people of their diseases and afflictions, and of evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.

rkjnt@Luke:7:22 @ Then Jesus answered and said to them, Go your way, and tell John the things you have seen and heard; how the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the gospel is preached to the poor.

rkjnt@Luke:7:23 @ And blessed is he who does not stumble over me.

rkjnt@Luke:7:24 @ And when the messengers of John departed, he began to speak to the people about John: What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

rkjnt@Luke:7:26 @ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.

rkjnt@Luke:7:27 @ This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who shall prepare your way before you.

rkjnt@Luke:7:28 @ For I say to you, Among those born of women there is none greater than John: but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

rkjnt@Luke:7:29 @ And all the people who heard him, and the tax gatherers, acknowledged the ways of God were just, for they had been baptized with the baptism of John.

rkjnt@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the purpose of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.

rkjnt@Luke:7:31 @ And the Lord said, To what shall I compare the men of this generation? and what are they like?

rkjnt@Luke:7:32 @ They are like children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We played the pipes for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge for you, and you did not weep.

rkjnt@Luke:7:33 @ For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say, He has a devil.

rkjnt@Luke:7:34 @ The Son of man comes eating and drinking; and you say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a drunkard, a friend of tax gatherers and sinners!

rkjnt@Luke:7:35 @ But wisdom is justified by all her children.

rkjnt@Luke:7:36 @ And one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and reclined at table.

rkjnt@Luke:7:37 @ And, behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that Jesus was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster vial of perfume,

rkjnt@Luke:7:38 @ And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.

rkjnt@Luke:7:39 @ Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is who touches him: for she is a sinner.

rkjnt@Luke:7:40 @ And Jesus answered him, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Say it, Teacher.

rkjnt@Luke:7:41 @ There was a certain creditor who had two debtors: the one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

rkjnt@Luke:7:42 @ And when they were unable to repay, he freely forgave them both. Now, which of them will love him most?

rkjnt@Luke:7:43 @ Simon answered, I suppose the one whom he forgave the most. And he said to him, You have judged correctly.

rkjnt@Luke:7:44 @ And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I entered your house: you gave me no water for my feet, but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.

rkjnt@Luke:7:46 @ You did not anoint my head with oil: but this woman has anointed my feet with perfume.

rkjnt@Luke:7:47 @ Therefore I say to you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but he who is forgiven little, loves little.

rkjnt@Luke:7:48 @ And he said to her, Your sins are forgiven.

rkjnt@Luke:7:49 @ And those who reclined at table with him began to say among themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins?

rkjnt@Luke:7:50 @ And he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.

rkjnt@Luke:8:1 @ And it came to pass soon after, that he went through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the glad news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him,

rkjnt@Luke:8:2 @ Along with certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven devils had gone out,

rkjnt@Luke:8:3 @ And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who helped support them out of their own means.

rkjnt@Luke:8:4 @ And when many people were gathered together, and came to him from town after town, he spoke in a parable:

rkjnt@Luke:8:5 @ A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trodden down, and the birds of the air devoured it.

rkjnt@Luke:8:6 @ And some fell upon the rock; and as soon as it had sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

rkjnt@Luke:8:7 @ And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

rkjnt@Luke:8:8 @ And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore a crop a hundred times as great. And when he said these things, he called out, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

rkjnt@Luke:8:10 @ And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others it is in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

rkjnt@Luke:8:11 @ Now the meaning of the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

rkjnt@Luke:8:12 @ Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes, and takes the word from their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

rkjnt@Luke:8:13 @ Those on the rock are the ones, who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but they have no root; they believe for a while, but in time of temptation fall away.

rkjnt@Luke:8:14 @ And the seed which fell among thorns are those, who, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

rkjnt@Luke:8:15 @ But the seed on the good ground are those, who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

rkjnt@Luke:8:16 @ No man, when he has lighted a lamp, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but sets it on a stand, that those who enter may see the light.

rkjnt@Luke:8:17 @ For nothing is hidden, that shall not be disclosed; nor anything secret, that shall not be made known and come into the open.

rkjnt@Luke:8:18 @ Therefore, take heed how you listen: for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have.

rkjnt@Luke:8:19 @ Then his mother and brothers came to him, and could not reach him because of the crowd.

rkjnt@Luke:8:20 @ And he was told, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.

rkjnt@Luke:8:21 @ And he answered and said to them, My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God, and do it.

rkjnt@Luke:8:22 @ Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he got into a boat with his disciples: and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

rkjnt@Luke:8:23 @ But as they sailed he fell asleep: and a storm of wind came down upon the lake; and they were filling with water, and were in danger.

rkjnt@Luke:8:24 @ And they came to him, and woke him, saying, Master, Master, we are perishing. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

rkjnt@Luke:8:25 @ And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they were afraid and amazed, saying to one another, Who is this! for he commands even the winds and water, and they obey him.

rkjnt@Luke:8:26 @ And they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is across from Galilee.

rkjnt@Luke:8:27 @ And when he stepped onto the land, he was met by a man from the city, who had devils, and for a long time had worn no clothes, nor did he live in a house, but in the tombs.

rkjnt@Luke:8:28 @ When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of God most high? I beg you, do not torment me.

rkjnt@Luke:8:29 @ (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For often it had seized him: and though he was kept under guard, bound with chains and in fetters; he would break the bonds and be driven by the devil into the desert.)

rkjnt@Luke:8:30 @ And Jesus asked him, saying, What is your name? And he said, Legion: because many devils had entered into him.

rkjnt@Luke:8:31 @ And they begged him that he would not command them to go out into the abyss.

rkjnt@Luke:8:32 @ Now there was a herd of many swine feeding there on the mountain: and they begged him to let them enter these. And he gave them permission.

rkjnt@Luke:8:33 @ Then the devils went out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were drowned.

rkjnt@Luke:8:34 @ When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.

rkjnt@Luke:8:35 @ Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the devils had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

rkjnt@Luke:8:36 @ Those who saw it happen told them how he who was possessed by the devils was healed.

rkjnt@Luke:8:37 @ Then all the people from the region of the Gerasenes begged him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he got into the boat, and returned.

rkjnt@Luke:8:38 @ Now the man out of whom the devils had gone begged to be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

rkjnt@Luke:8:39 @ Return to your own house, and describe what great things God has done for you. And he went his way, and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

rkjnt@Luke:8:40 @ And it came to pass, that when Jesus returned, the people welcomed him: for they were all waiting for him.

rkjnt@Luke:8:41 @ And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and begged him to come to his house:

rkjnt@Luke:8:42 @ For he had only one daughter, about twelve years old, and she lay dying. But as he went the people crowded around him.

rkjnt@Luke:8:43 @ And a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone,

rkjnt@Luke:8:44 @ Came up behind him, and touched the edge of his garment: and immediately the flow of blood stopped.

rkjnt@Luke:8:45 @ And Jesus said, Who touched me? When they all denied it, Peter said, Master, the multitudes crowd and press around you.

rkjnt@Luke:8:46 @ And Jesus said, Somebody has touched me: for I know that power has gone out of me.

rkjnt@Luke:8:47 @ And when the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling, fell down before him, and told him before all the people why she had touched him, and how she was immediately healed.

rkjnt@Luke:8:48 @ And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.

rkjnt@Luke:8:49 @ While he was speaking, a man came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, and said to him, Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher further.

rkjnt@Luke:8:50 @ But when Jesus heard this, he said, Do not fear: only believe, and she shall be made well.

rkjnt@Luke:8:51 @ And when he came into the house, he allowed no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl.

rkjnt@Luke:8:52 @ And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeps.

rkjnt@Luke:8:53 @ And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

rkjnt@Luke:8:54 @ And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Child, arise.

rkjnt@Luke:8:55 @ And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately: and he commanded that she be given food.

rkjnt@Luke:8:56 @ And her parents were astonished: but he directed them to tell no one what had happened.

rkjnt@Luke:9:1 @ Then he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

rkjnt@Luke:9:2 @ And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

rkjnt@Luke:9:3 @ And he said to them, Take nothing for your journey, no staff, no bag, no bread, no money; not even an extra tunic.

rkjnt@Luke:9:4 @ And whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave the town.

rkjnt@Luke:9:5 @ And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that town, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.

rkjnt@Luke:9:6 @ And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.

rkjnt@Luke:9:7 @ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was happening: and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead;

rkjnt@Luke:9:8 @ And by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets had risen again.

rkjnt@Luke:9:9 @ And Herod said, I beheaded John: but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

rkjnt@Luke:9:10 @ And the apostles, when they returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into the city of Bethsaida.

rkjnt@Luke:9:11 @ And the people, when they learned of it, followed him: and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.

rkjnt@Luke:9:12 @ And when the day began to wear away, the twelve came, and said to him, Send the crowd away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and find lodging and food: for we are here in a remote place.

rkjnt@Luke:9:13 @ But he said to them, You give them something to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fish; unless we go and buy food for all these people.

rkjnt@Luke:9:14 @ For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.

rkjnt@Luke:9:15 @ And they did so, and made them all sit down.

rkjnt@Luke:9:16 @ Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

rkjnt@Luke:9:17 @ And they ate, and were all filled: and they picked up twelve baskets of broken pieces that remained.

rkjnt@Luke:9:18 @ And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, Who do the people say that I am?

rkjnt@Luke:9:19 @ They answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.

rkjnt@Luke:9:20 @ He said to them, But who do you say that I am? Peter answered, The Christ of God.

rkjnt@Luke:9:21 @ And he strictly warned them, and commanded them not to tell this to anyone;

rkjnt@Luke:9:22 @ Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised on the third day.

rkjnt@Luke:9:23 @ And he said to them all, If anyone will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

rkjnt@Luke:9:24 @ For whoever will save his life shall lose it: but whoever will lose his life for my sake, he shall save it.

rkjnt@Luke:9:25 @ For what advantage is there for a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits himself?

rkjnt@Luke:9:26 @ For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his glory, and the glory of his Father, and of the holy angels.

rkjnt@Luke:9:27 @ But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.

rkjnt@Luke:9:28 @ And it came to pass about eight days after these teachings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.

rkjnt@Luke:9:29 @ And as he prayed, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white.

rkjnt@Luke:9:31 @ Who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, which he would accomplish at Jerusalem.

rkjnt@Luke:9:32 @ But Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

rkjnt@Luke:9:33 @ And it came to pass, as the two men departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: let us make three shelters; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: but he did not know what he was saying.

rkjnt@Luke:9:34 @ While he spoke, a cloud came and enveloped them: and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

rkjnt@Luke:9:35 @ And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my Chosen: hear him.

rkjnt@Luke:9:36 @ And when the voice had spoken, they found Jesus was alone. And they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of those things which they had seen.

rkjnt@Luke:9:37 @ And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they had come down from the hill, many people met him.

rkjnt@Luke:9:38 @ And, behold, a man of the crowd cried out, saying, Teacher, I beg you, look upon my son: for he is my only child.

rkjnt@Luke:9:39 @ And, lo, a spirit takes him, and he suddenly cries out; and it convulses him until he foams at the mouth, and it mauls him and hardly ever leaves him.

rkjnt@Luke:9:40 @ And I begged your disciples to cast it out; but they could not.

rkjnt@Luke:9:41 @ And Jesus answered, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and endure you? Bring your son here.

rkjnt@Luke:9:42 @ And as he was coming, the devil threw him down, and violently convulsed him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and gave him back to his father.

rkjnt@Luke:9:43 @ And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they were all marvelling at everything Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

rkjnt@Luke:9:44 @ Let these words sink down into your ears: the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

rkjnt@Luke:9:45 @ But they did not understand this statement, and it was hidden from them, so they did not understand it: and they were afraid to ask him about it.

rkjnt@Luke:9:46 @ Then there arose a dispute among them about which of them was the greatest.

rkjnt@Luke:9:47 @ And Jesus, perceiving what they were thinking in their hearts, took a child, and put him beside him,

rkjnt@Luke:9:48 @ And said to them, Whoever shall receive this child in my name receives me: and whoever shall receive me receives him who sent me: for he who is least among you, that one shall be great.

rkjnt@Luke:9:49 @ And John answered, Master, we saw someone casting out devils in your name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow along with us.

rkjnt@Luke:9:50 @ And Jesus said to him, Do not forbid him: for he who is not against you is for you.

rkjnt@Luke:9:51 @ And it came to pass, when the time had come for him to be taken up, he resolutely set his face to go to Jerusalem,

rkjnt@Luke:9:52 @ And sent messengers ahead of him: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

rkjnt@Luke:9:53 @ But they did not receive him, because his face was set to go to Jerusalem.

rkjnt@Luke:9:54 @ And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?

rkjnt@Luke:9:55 @ But he turned, and rebuked them,

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

rkjnt@Luke:9:57 @ And it came to pass, that, as they went along the way, a man said to him, Lord, I will follow you wherever you go.

rkjnt@Luke:9:58 @ 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.

rkjnt@Luke:9:59 @ And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.

rkjnt@Luke:9:60 @ Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their own dead: but you go and preach the kingdom of God.

rkjnt@Luke:9:61 @ And another said, Lord, I will follow you; but let me first go bid farewell to those who are at my home.

rkjnt@Luke:9:62 @ And Jesus said to him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

rkjnt@Luke:10:1 @ After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them out two by two before him into every town and place where he would go.

rkjnt@Luke:10:2 @ And he said to them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

rkjnt@Luke:10:4 @ Carry neither purse, nor bag, nor sandals: and greet no man along the way.

rkjnt@Luke:10:6 @ And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon him: if not, it shall turn to you.

rkjnt@Luke:10:7 @ Remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.

rkjnt@Luke:10:8 @ And into whatever town you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

rkjnt@Luke:10:9 @ And heal the sick who are in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God has come near to you.

rkjnt@Luke:10:10 @ But into whatever town you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

rkjnt@Luke:10:11 @ Even the very dust of your town, which clings to us, we wipe off against you: nevertheless, be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near to you.

rkjnt@Luke:10:13 @ Woe to you, Chorazin! woe to you, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

rkjnt@Luke:10:14 @ But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.

rkjnt@Luke:10:15 @ And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven; you shall be thrust down to Hades.

rkjnt@Luke:10:16 @ He who hears you hears me; and he who despises you despises me; and he who despises me despises him who sent me.

rkjnt@Luke:10:17 @ And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject to us through your name.

rkjnt@Luke:10:18 @ And he said to them, I beheld Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

rkjnt@Luke:10:19 @ Behold, I give to you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

rkjnt@Luke:10:20 @ Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.

rkjnt@Luke:10:21 @ In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babes: yea, Father; for so it seemed good in your sight.

rkjnt@Luke:10:22 @ All things have been given to me by my Father: and no man knows who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

rkjnt@Luke:10:23 @ And he turned to his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see:

rkjnt@Luke:10:24 @ For I tell you, that many prophets and kings desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them.

rkjnt@Luke:10:25 @ And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tested him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

rkjnt@Luke:10:26 @ He said to him, What is written in the law? how do you read it?

rkjnt@Luke:10:27 @ And he answered, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself.

rkjnt@Luke:10:28 @ And he said to him, You have answered right: do this, and you shall live.

rkjnt@Luke:10:29 @ But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

rkjnt@Luke:10:31 @ And by chance a certain priest came down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

rkjnt@Luke:10:32 @ And likewise a Levite, when he came to that place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

rkjnt@Luke:10:33 @ But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

rkjnt@Luke:10:35 @ And on the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.

rkjnt@Luke:10:36 @ Now which of these three, do you think, was a neighbour to him who fell among the robbers?

rkjnt@Luke:10:37 @ And he said, He who showed mercy on him. Then Jesus said to him, Go, and do likewise.

rkjnt@Luke:10:38 @ Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a woman named Martha received him into her house.

rkjnt@Luke:10:39 @ And she had a sister named Mary, who sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his words.

rkjnt@Luke:10:40 @ But Martha was distracted by many tasks, and came to him, and said, Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? then tell her to help me.

rkjnt@Luke:10:41 @ And Jesus answered her, Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things:

rkjnt@Luke:10:42 @ But only one thing is necessary: and Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

rkjnt@Luke:11:1 @ And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

rkjnt@Luke:11:2 @ And he said to them, when you pray, say, Father, Hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.

rkjnt@Luke:11:5 @ And he said to them, Suppose you have a friend and go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

rkjnt@Luke:11:7 @ And from within he shall answer and say, Do not trouble me: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give you anything.

rkjnt@Luke:11:8 @ I say to you, Though he will not rise and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as much as he needs.

rkjnt@Luke:11:10 @ For every one who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it shall be opened.

rkjnt@Luke:11:11 @ Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?

rkjnt@Luke:11:12 @ Or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?

rkjnt@Luke:11:13 @ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?

rkjnt@Luke:11:14 @ And he was casting out a devil that was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil had gone out, the dumb man spoke; and the crowd was amazed.

rkjnt@Luke:11:15 @ But some of them said, He casts out devils by Beelzebub, the chief of the devils.

rkjnt@Luke:11:16 @ And others, tempting him, sought from him a sign from heaven.

rkjnt@Luke:11:17 @ But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against itself falls.

rkjnt@Luke:11:19 @ And if I cast out devils by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

rkjnt@Luke:11:20 @ But if I cast out devils by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

rkjnt@Luke:11:21 @ When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his goods are safe:

rkjnt@Luke:11:22 @ But when one stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he takes from him all his armour in which he trusted, and divides the spoils.

rkjnt@Luke:11:23 @ He who is not with me is against me: and he who does not gather with me scatters.

rkjnt@Luke:11:24 @ When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, it passes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, I will return to my house from which I came.

rkjnt@Luke:11:25 @ And when it comes, it finds it swept and in order.

rkjnt@Luke:11:26 @ Then it goes, and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself; and they enter in, and live there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

rkjnt@Luke:11:27 @ And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman in the crowd lifted up her voice, and said to him, Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which you sucked.

rkjnt@Luke:11:28 @ But he said, Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.

rkjnt@Luke:11:29 @ And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: it seeks a sign; and no sign shall be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.

rkjnt@Luke:11:30 @ For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man be to this generation.

rkjnt@Luke:11:31 @ The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, one greater than Solomon is here.

rkjnt@Luke:11:32 @ The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, one greater than Jonah is here.

rkjnt@Luke:11:33 @ No man, after lighting a lamp, puts it in a cellar, or under a bushel, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.

rkjnt@Luke:11:34 @ The light of the body is the eye: therefore when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light; but when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness.

rkjnt@Luke:11:35 @ Take heed, then, that the light which is within you is not darkness.

rkjnt@Luke:11:36 @ Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, having no dark part in it, it shall be fully illuminated, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.

rkjnt@Luke:11:37 @ And as he spoke, a certain Pharisee begged him to dine with him: and he went in, and reclined at the table.

rkjnt@Luke:11:38 @ And the Pharisee was surprised when he saw that he had not first washed before dinner.

rkjnt@Luke:11:39 @ And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

rkjnt@Luke:11:40 @ You fools, did not he who made the outside also make the inside?

rkjnt@Luke:11:41 @ But rather give what you have within as alms; and, behold, all things are clean for you.

rkjnt@Luke:11:42 @ But woe to you, Pharisees! for you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, but neglect justice and the love of God: these you ought to have done, and not left the others undone.

rkjnt@Luke:11:43 @ Woe to you, Pharisees! for you love the best seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the marketplaces.

rkjnt@Luke:11:45 @ Then one of the lawyers answered him, Teacher, by saying this you insult us also.

rkjnt@Luke:11:46 @ And he said, Woe to you also, lawyers! for you load men with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

rkjnt@Luke:11:47 @ Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

rkjnt@Luke:11:48 @ Truly you bear witness that you approve of the deeds of your fathers: for they killed them, and you build their tombs.

rkjnt@Luke:11:49 @ For this reason also the wisdom of God said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall kill and persecute,

rkjnt@Luke:11:50 @ That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

rkjnt@Luke:11:51 @ From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the temple: truly I say to you, It shall be required of this generation.

rkjnt@Luke:11:52 @ Woe to you, lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.

rkjnt@Luke:11:53 @ And as he left, the scribes and Pharisees began to be hostile, and to question him closely on many things:

rkjnt@Luke:11:54 @ Lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

rkjnt@Luke:12:1 @ In the meantime, when a great crowd of people had gathered, so that they trod upon each other, he began to say first to his disciples, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

rkjnt@Luke:12:2 @ For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; nor hidden, that shall not be known.

rkjnt@Luke:12:3 @ Therefore, whatever you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which you have spoken in the ear behind closed doors shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

rkjnt@Luke:12:4 @ And I say to you, my friends, Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

rkjnt@Luke:12:5 @ But I will warn you whom to fear: Fear him, who after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear him.

rkjnt@Luke:12:6 @ Are not five sparrows sold for twopence, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

rkjnt@Luke:12:7 @ But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not fear: you are of more value than many sparrows.

rkjnt@Luke:12:8 @ And I say to you, Whoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

rkjnt@Luke:12:9 @ But he who denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

rkjnt@Luke:12:10 @ And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven.

rkjnt@Luke:12:11 @ And when they bring you to the synagogues, and to magistrates, and authorities, take no thought of how you shall defend yourself, or what you shall say:

rkjnt@Luke:12:12 @ For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.

rkjnt@Luke:12:13 @ And one of the company said to him, Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.

rkjnt@Luke:12:14 @ And he said to him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

rkjnt@Luke:12:15 @ And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of every form of greed: for a man's life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.

rkjnt@Luke:12:16 @ And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

rkjnt@Luke:12:17 @ And he thought to himself, What shall I do, because I have no room to store my crops?

rkjnt@Luke:12:18 @ And he said, This is what I will do: I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones; and there I will store all my grain and goods.

rkjnt@Luke:12:20 @ But God said to him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then who shall own those things, which you have prepared?

rkjnt@Luke:12:22 @ And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat; or for the body, what you shall put on.

rkjnt@Luke:12:23 @ For life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

rkjnt@Luke:12:24 @ Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them: how much more valuable are you than the birds!

rkjnt@Luke:12:26 @ If you then are not able to do such a small thing, why are you anxious about the rest?

rkjnt@Luke:12:27 @ Consider the lilies, how they grow: they do not toil or spin; and yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

rkjnt@Luke:12:28 @ If then God so clothes the grass, which is in the field today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?

rkjnt@Luke:12:30 @ For the nations of the world seek after all these things: and your Father knows that you have need of them.

rkjnt@Luke:12:31 @ But rather seek the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added to you.

rkjnt@Luke:12:32 @ Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

rkjnt@Luke:12:33 @ Sell what you have, and give alms; provide yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in heaven that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

rkjnt@Luke:12:34 @ For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

rkjnt@Luke:12:36 @ And be like men who wait for their lord to return from the wedding feast; that when he comes and knocks, they may open the door for him immediately.

rkjnt@Luke:12:37 @ Blessed are those servants, whom the lord shall find watching when he comes: truly I say to you, that he shall dress himself to serve, and make them sit down at the table, and will come forth and serve them.

rkjnt@Luke:12:38 @ And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

rkjnt@Luke:12:39 @ And know this, that if the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

rkjnt@Luke:12:40 @ Therefore you be ready also: for the Son of man will come at a hour when you do not expect.

rkjnt@Luke:12:41 @ Then Peter said to him, Lord, are you speaking this parable to us, or to everyone?

rkjnt@Luke:12:42 @ And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his servants, to give them their portion of food at the proper time?

rkjnt@Luke:12:43 @ Blessed is that servant, whom his lord shall find so doing when he comes.

rkjnt@Luke:12:44 @ Truly I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.

rkjnt@Luke:12:45 @ But if that servant says in his heart, My lord delays his coming; and begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

rkjnt@Luke:12:46 @ The lord of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at a hour he is not aware of, and will cut him in pieces, and will assign him a place with the unbelievers.

rkjnt@Luke:12:48 @ But he who did not know, and committed things worthy of a beating, shall be beaten with few blows. For to whomever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask all the more.

rkjnt@Luke:12:49 @ I have come to send fire on the earth; and how I wish it was already kindled.

rkjnt@Luke:12:50 @ But I have a baptism to undergo; and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

rkjnt@Luke:12:51 @ Do you suppose that I have come to give peace on earth? I tell you, No; but rather division:

rkjnt@Luke:12:52 @ For from henceforth there shall be five in one house, divided, three against two, and two against three.

rkjnt@Luke:12:53 @ They shall be divided father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

rkjnt@Luke:12:54 @ And he also said to the people, When you see a cloud rise out of the west, immediately you say, A shower is coming; and so it does.

rkjnt@Luke:12:55 @ And when you see the south wind blow, you say, There will be heat; and it comes to pass.

rkjnt@Luke:12:56 @ You hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that you do not discern this time?

rkjnt@Luke:12:58 @ When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, as you are on the way, make every effort to settle with him, lest he drag you before the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into prison.

rkjnt@Luke:12:59 @ I tell you, you shall not get out of there, until you have paid the very last farthing.

rkjnt@Luke:13:1 @ There were some present at that time who told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

rkjnt@Luke:13:2 @ And Jesus answered, saying to them, Do you suppose these Galilaeans were greater sinners than all the other Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

rkjnt@Luke:13:4 @ Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were more guilty than all the men who lived in Jerusalem?

rkjnt@Luke:13:6 @ Then he spoke this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit on it, and found none.

rkjnt@Luke:13:7 @ Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and have found none: cut it down; why should it use up the ground?

rkjnt@Luke:13:8 @ And he answered and said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, until I shall dig about it, and put manure on it:

rkjnt@Luke:13:9 @ And if it bears fruit, fine: and if not, then you can cut it down.

rkjnt@Luke:13:10 @ And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

rkjnt@Luke:13:11 @ And, behold, there was a woman who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years, and was bowed over, and could not straighten up at all.

rkjnt@Luke:13:12 @ And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her, Woman, you are freed from your sickness.

rkjnt@Luke:13:13 @ And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she straightened up, and glorified God.

rkjnt@Luke:13:14 @ And the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, said to the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: therefore come during them and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

rkjnt@Luke:13:15 @ The Lord then answered him, and said, You hypocrite, does not each one of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall, and lead him away to water?

rkjnt@Luke:13:16 @ And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

rkjnt@Luke:13:17 @ And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced over all the glorious things he was doing.

rkjnt@Luke:13:18 @ Then he said, What is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I compare it?

rkjnt@Luke:13:19 @ It is like a mustard seed, which a man took, and planted in his garden; and it grew, and became a great tree; and the birds of the air lodged in its branches.

rkjnt@Luke:13:20 @ And again he said, To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?

rkjnt@Luke:13:22 @ And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and traveling toward Jerusalem.

rkjnt@Luke:13:23 @ Then someone said to him, Lord, will only a few be saved? And he said to them,

rkjnt@Luke:13:24 @ Strive to enter in at the narrow gate: for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

rkjnt@Luke:13:25 @ When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open up to us; then he shall answer and say to you, I do not know where you are from:

rkjnt@Luke:13:26 @ Then you shall begin to say, We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.

rkjnt@Luke:13:27 @ But he shall say, I tell you, I do not know where you are from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.

rkjnt@Luke:13:28 @ There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out.

rkjnt@Luke:13:29 @ And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall recline at table in the kingdom of God.

rkjnt@Luke:13:30 @ And, behold, there are some who are last who shall be first, and there are some who are first who shall be last.

rkjnt@Luke:13:31 @ That same hour some of the Pharisees came, saying to him, Get away, and depart from here: for Herod wants to kill you.

rkjnt@Luke:13:32 @ And he said to them, Go tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall complete my course.

rkjnt@Luke:13:33 @ Nevertheless, I must journey on today, and tomorrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.

rkjnt@Luke:13:34 @ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to you; how often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not allow it!

rkjnt@Luke:13:35 @ Behold, your house is left to you desolate: and truly I say to you, You shall not see me, until the time comes when you shall say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

rkjnt@Luke:14:1 @ And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat on the sabbath day, that they watched him.

rkjnt@Luke:14:2 @ And, behold, there was a certain man in front of him who had dropsy.

rkjnt@Luke:14:3 @ And Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, asking, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

rkjnt@Luke:14:4 @ But they held their peace. And he took hold of him, and healed him, and let him go;

rkjnt@Luke:14:5 @ And answered them, saying, If one of you has a son or an ox fall into a pit on the sabbath day, which of you will not immediately pull him out?

rkjnt@Luke:14:6 @ And they could not answer these things.

rkjnt@Luke:14:7 @ And he told a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the places of honour; saying to them,

rkjnt@Luke:14:8 @ When you are invited by someone to a wedding, do not sit down at the place of honour; for one more distinguished than you may have been invited;

rkjnt@Luke:14:9 @ And he who invited both of you will come and say to you, Give this man your place; and with shame you will begin to take the lowest place.

rkjnt@Luke:14:10 @ But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place; that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher: then you shall have honour in the presence of those who are at the table with you.

rkjnt@Luke:14:11 @ For whoever exalts himself shall be abased; and he who humbles himself shall be exalted.

rkjnt@Luke:14:12 @ Then he said to his host, When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers, your kinsmen, or your rich neighbours; lest they invite you in return, and you are repaid.

rkjnt@Luke:14:13 @ But when you have a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

rkjnt@Luke:14:14 @ And you shall be blessed; for they cannot repay you: but you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.

rkjnt@Luke:14:15 @ And when one of those who reclined at table with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

rkjnt@Luke:14:16 @ Then he said to him, A certain man made a great banquet, and invited many:

rkjnt@Luke:14:17 @ And at the banquet time he sent his servant to say to those who were invited, Come; for everything is now ready.

rkjnt@Luke:14:18 @ And they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of land, and I must go and see it: Please excuse me.

rkjnt@Luke:14:19 @ And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out: Please excuse me.

rkjnt@Luke:14:20 @ And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

rkjnt@Luke:14:21 @ So the servant returned, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the crippled, and the blind, and the lame.

rkjnt@Luke:14:22 @ And the servant said, Lord, it has been done as you have commanded, and yet there is still room.

rkjnt@Luke:14:23 @ And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and along the hedgerows, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

rkjnt@Luke:14:25 @ And great multitudes went with him: and he turned, and said to them,

rkjnt@Luke:14:26 @ If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.

rkjnt@Luke:14:28 @ For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has sufficient money to finish it?

rkjnt@Luke:14:29 @ Lest perhaps, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all who behold it will begin to mock him,

rkjnt@Luke:14:31 @ Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first, and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

rkjnt@Luke:14:32 @ Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation, and asks terms of peace.

rkjnt@Luke:14:33 @ So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has, cannot be my disciple.

rkjnt@Luke:14:35 @ It is fit for neither the land or the manure pile; it is cast out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

rkjnt@Luke:15:1 @ Then all the tax gatherers and sinners drew near to hear him.

rkjnt@Luke:15:2 @ And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receives sinners, and eats with them.

rkjnt@Luke:15:3 @ And he spoke this parable to them, saying,

rkjnt@Luke:15:4 @ What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?

rkjnt@Luke:15:5 @ And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

rkjnt@Luke:15:6 @ And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

rkjnt@Luke:15:7 @ I say to you, that likewise there shall be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous persons, who do not need to repent.

rkjnt@Luke:15:8 @ Or what woman, having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she finds it?

rkjnt@Luke:15:9 @ And when she has found it, she calls her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the coin which I had lost.

rkjnt@Luke:15:10 @ Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

rkjnt@Luke:15:11 @ And he said, A certain man had two sons:

rkjnt@Luke:15:12 @ And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me my part of the estate. So he divided his property between them.

rkjnt@Luke:15:13 @ And not many days after the younger son gathered everything together, and took a journey into a far country, and there wasted his estate with riotous living.

rkjnt@Luke:15:14 @ And when he had spent everything, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

rkjnt@Luke:15:15 @ And he went and hired himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

rkjnt@Luke:15:16 @ And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods the swine were eating: but no man gave him anything.

rkjnt@Luke:15:17 @ And when he came to himself, he said, How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough to spare, and I perish with hunger!

rkjnt@Luke:15:18 @ I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight,

rkjnt@Luke:15:20 @ And he arose, and went to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him.

rkjnt@Luke:15:21 @ And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.

rkjnt@Luke:15:22 @ But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet:

rkjnt@Luke:15:23 @ And bring the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

rkjnt@Luke:15:24 @ For this son of mine was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

rkjnt@Luke:15:25 @ Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.

rkjnt@Luke:15:26 @ And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.

rkjnt@Luke:15:27 @ And he said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.

rkjnt@Luke:15:28 @ And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore his father came out, and pleaded with him.

rkjnt@Luke:15:29 @ And he answered his father, Lo, these many years I have served you and never disobeyed your commandment: and yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

rkjnt@Luke:15:30 @ But as soon as this son of yours comes home, who has devoured your estate with prostitutes, you kill for him the fatted calf.

rkjnt@Luke:15:31 @ And he said to him, Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.

rkjnt@Luke:15:32 @ But we had to make merry, and be glad: for this brother of yours was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

rkjnt@Luke:16:1 @ And he also said to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward, and charges were brought to him that the steward was wasting his goods.

rkjnt@Luke:16:2 @ And he called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of you? give an account of your stewardship; for you may no longer be steward.

rkjnt@Luke:16:3 @ Then the steward said to himself, What shall I do? for my lord is taking away my stewardship: I am not strong enough to dig; and I am ashamed to beg.

rkjnt@Luke:16:4 @ I know what to do, so that when I am put out of the stewardship, people will receive me into their houses.

rkjnt@Luke:16:5 @ So he called in every one of his lord's debtors, and said to the first, How much do you owe to my lord?

rkjnt@Luke:16:6 @ And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

rkjnt@Luke:16:7 @ Then he said to another, And how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take your bill, and write eighty.

rkjnt@Luke:16:8 @ And the lord commended the dishonest steward, because he had acted shrewdly: for the children of this world are more shrewd in dealing with own kind than are the children of light.

rkjnt@Luke:16:9 @ And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves using worldly wealth; that, when it fails, they may receive you into the eternal habitations.

rkjnt@Luke:16:10 @ He who is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he who is dishonest in the least is also dishonest in much.

rkjnt@Luke:16:11 @ Therefore, if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

rkjnt@Luke:16:12 @ And if you have not been faithful with that which is another man's, who shall give you possessions of your own?

rkjnt@Luke:16:13 @ No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

rkjnt@Luke:16:14 @ The Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

rkjnt@Luke:16:15 @ And he said to them, You justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

rkjnt@Luke:16:16 @ The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man forces his way into it.

rkjnt@Luke:16:17 @ And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one dot of the law to fail.

rkjnt@Luke:16:18 @ Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

rkjnt@Luke:16:19 @ There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and feasted sumptuously every day:

rkjnt@Luke:16:20 @ And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, covered with sores,

rkjnt@Luke:16:21 @ And he longed to eat the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

rkjnt@Luke:16:22 @ And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

rkjnt@Luke:16:23 @ And in Hades he lift up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

rkjnt@Luke:16:24 @ And he cried out, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

rkjnt@Luke:16:25 @ But Abraham said, Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus received evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented.

rkjnt@Luke:16:26 @ And beside all this, between us and you a great gulf has been fixed: so that those who would pass from here to you cannot; nor can any pass over from there to us.

rkjnt@Luke:16:27 @ He said, Then I beg you, father, that you would send him to my father's house:

rkjnt@Luke:16:28 @ For I have five brothers. Have him warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

rkjnt@Luke:16:29 @ Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

rkjnt@Luke:16:30 @ And he said, No, father Abraham: but if someone went to them from the dead, they will repent.

rkjnt@Luke:16:31 @ And he said to him, If they will not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.

rkjnt@Luke:17:1 @ Then he said to the disciples, It is certain that stumbling blocks will come: but woe to him through whom they come!

rkjnt@Luke:17:2 @ It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and be cast into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

rkjnt@Luke:17:3 @ Be on your guard: If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

rkjnt@Luke:17:4 @ And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times a day comes to you, saying, I repent; you must forgive him.

rkjnt@Luke:17:5 @ And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.

rkjnt@Luke:17:6 @ And the Lord said, If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, Be plucked up by the root, and be planted in the sea; and it would obey you.

rkjnt@Luke:17:7 @ But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say to him when he has come in from the field, Go sit down to eat?

rkjnt@Luke:17:8 @ Will he not rather say to him, Make something for my supper, and gird yourself, and serve me until I eat and drink; and afterward you shall eat and drink?

rkjnt@Luke:17:9 @ Does he thank that servant because he did as he was commanded?

rkjnt@Luke:17:10 @ So likewise you, when you have done all those things which are commanded of you, say, We are unworthy servants: we have merely done our duty.

rkjnt@Luke:17:11 @ And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed between Samaria and Galilee.

rkjnt@Luke:17:12 @ And as he entered into a certain village, ten leprous men met him. They stood at a distance,

rkjnt@Luke:17:13 @ And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

rkjnt@Luke:17:14 @ And when he saw them, he said to them, Go show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

rkjnt@Luke:17:15 @ And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

rkjnt@Luke:17:16 @ And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

rkjnt@Luke:17:17 @ And Jesus answered, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

rkjnt@Luke:17:19 @ And he said to him, Arise, go your way: your faith has made you well.

rkjnt@Luke:17:20 @ And when he was asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with signs:

rkjnt@Luke:17:21 @ Nor shall they say, Look, here it is! or, look there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

rkjnt@Luke:17:22 @ And he said to the disciples, The days will come, when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you shall not see it.

rkjnt@Luke:17:23 @ And they shall say to you, See here!; or, see there!: do not go not after them, or follow them.

rkjnt@Luke:17:24 @ For as the lightning flashes in one part of the sky and shines to the other; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

rkjnt@Luke:17:25 @ But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.

rkjnt@Luke:17:26 @ As it was in the days of Noah, so it shall also be in the days of the Son of man.

rkjnt@Luke:17:27 @ They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

rkjnt@Luke:17:28 @ It was the same in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

rkjnt@Luke:17:29 @ But on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

rkjnt@Luke:17:30 @ Even so shall it be on the day when the Son of man is revealed.

rkjnt@Luke:17:31 @ On that day, let him who is upon the housetop, and his goods in the house, not come down to take them away: and likewise let not him who is in the field turn back.

rkjnt@Luke:17:34 @ I tell you, in that night two shall be in one bed; one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

rkjnt@Luke:17:35 @ Two women shall be grinding together; one shall be taken, and the other left.

rkjnt@Luke:17:36 @ [Two men shall be in the field; one shall be taken, and the other left.]

rkjnt@Luke:17:37 @ And they answered and said to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Wherever the body is, there will the vultures be gathered.

rkjnt@Luke:18:1 @ And he spoke a parable to them to show that men ought always to pray, and not loose heart;

rkjnt@Luke:18:2 @ Saying, There was a judge in a city, who did not fear God or respect man:

rkjnt@Luke:18:3 @ And there was a widow in that city; and she kept coming to him, saying, Give me justice against my adversary.

rkjnt@Luke:18:4 @ And he would not for a while: but afterward he said to himself, Though I do not fear God or respect man;

rkjnt@Luke:18:5 @ Yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her justice, lest by her continual coming she wear me out.

rkjnt@Luke:18:6 @ And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.

rkjnt@Luke:18:7 @ And shall not God vindicate his elect, who cry day and night to him, and will he delay long with them?

rkjnt@Luke:18:8 @ I tell you that he will vindicate them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, shall he find faith on the earth?

rkjnt@Luke:18:9 @ And he spoke this parable to certain people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

rkjnt@Luke:18:10 @ Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax gatherer.

rkjnt@Luke:18:11 @ The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank you that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax gatherer.

rkjnt@Luke:18:12 @ I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

rkjnt@Luke:18:13 @ And the tax gatherer, standing far off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but beat upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me, a sinner.

rkjnt@Luke:18:14 @ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one who exalts himself shall be abased; and he who humbles himself shall be exalted.

rkjnt@Luke:18:15 @ And they also brought infants to him, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw this, they rebuked them.

rkjnt@Luke:18:16 @ But Jesus called them to him, and said, Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them: for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

rkjnt@Luke:18:17 @ Truly I say to you, Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall by no means enter it.

rkjnt@Luke:18:18 @ And a certain ruler asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

rkjnt@Luke:18:20 @ You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour your father and your mother.

rkjnt@Luke:18:21 @ And he said, All these I have kept from my youth up.

rkjnt@Luke:18:22 @ Now when Jesus heard this, he said to him, You still lack one thing: sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

rkjnt@Luke:18:23 @ And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

rkjnt@Luke:18:24 @ And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!

rkjnt@Luke:18:25 @ It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

rkjnt@Luke:18:26 @ And those who heard it said, Who then can be saved?

rkjnt@Luke:18:27 @ And he said, Things that are impossible with men are possible with God.

rkjnt@Luke:18:28 @ Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed you.

rkjnt@Luke:18:29 @ And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

rkjnt@Luke:18:30 @ Who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the world to come, life everlasting.

rkjnt@Luke:18:31 @ Then he took the twelve aside, and said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

rkjnt@Luke:18:32 @ For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully treated, and spit upon:

rkjnt@Luke:18:33 @ And they shall flog him, and put him to death: and on the third day he shall rise again.

rkjnt@Luke:18:34 @ And they understood none of these things: this saying was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things which were spoken.

rkjnt@Luke:18:35 @ And it came to pass, that when he came near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road begging:

rkjnt@Luke:18:36 @ And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

rkjnt@Luke:18:37 @ And they told him, Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.

rkjnt@Luke:18:38 @ And he cried out, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

rkjnt@Luke:18:39 @ And those who led the way rebuked him, telling him to hold his peace: but he cried out all the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.

rkjnt@Luke:18:40 @ And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be brought to him: and when he had come near, he asked him,

rkjnt@Luke:18:41 @ What do you want me to do for you? And he said, Lord, I want to receive my sight.

rkjnt@Luke:18:42 @ And Jesus said to him, Receive your sight: your faith has healed you.

rkjnt@Luke:18:43 @ And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

rkjnt@Luke:19:2 @ And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief among the tax gatherers, and he was rich.

rkjnt@Luke:19:3 @ And he sought to see who Jesus was; but could not because of the crowd, for he was of small stature.

rkjnt@Luke:19:4 @ And he ran ahead, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

rkjnt@Luke:19:5 @ And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must stay at your house.

rkjnt@Luke:19:6 @ And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

rkjnt@Luke:19:7 @ And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.

rkjnt@Luke:19:8 @ And Zacchaeus stood, and said to the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any man of anything, I will repay it fourfold.

rkjnt@Luke:19:9 @ And Jesus said to him, This day salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

rkjnt@Luke:19:10 @ For the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.

rkjnt@Luke:19:11 @ And while they listened to these things, he told a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately appear.

rkjnt@Luke:19:12 @ Therefore he said, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and then to return.

rkjnt@Luke:19:13 @ And he called his ten servants, and gave them ten minas, and said to them, Trade with these until I come.

rkjnt@Luke:19:15 @ And it came to pass, that when he returned, having received the kingdom, that he commanded the servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

rkjnt@Luke:19:16 @ The first came, saying, Lord, your mina has gained ten minas.

rkjnt@Luke:19:17 @ And he said to him, Well done, you good servant: because you have been faithful in a very little, take authority over ten cities.

rkjnt@Luke:19:18 @ And the second came, saying, Lord, your mina has gained five minas.

rkjnt@Luke:19:19 @ And he said likewise to him, You shall be in authority over five cities.

rkjnt@Luke:19:20 @ And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is your mina, which I have kept laid up in a handkerchief:

rkjnt@Luke:19:22 @ And he said to him, Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was a severe man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow:

rkjnt@Luke:19:23 @ Why then did you not put my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?

rkjnt@Luke:19:24 @ And he said to those who stood by, Take from him the mina, and give it to him who has ten minas.

rkjnt@Luke:19:25 @ And they said to him, Lord, he already has ten minas.

rkjnt@Luke:19:26 @ I say to you, To everyone who has shall more be given; and from him who has not, even what he has shall be taken away from him.

rkjnt@Luke:19:27 @ As for my enemies, those who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here, and kill them in front of me.

rkjnt@Luke:19:28 @ And when he had spoken these things, he went on ahead, ascending to Jerusalem.

rkjnt@Luke:19:29 @ And it came to pass, when he had come near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,

rkjnt@Luke:19:30 @ Saying, Go into the village opposite you; and as you enter it you shall find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat: untie it, and bring it here.

rkjnt@Luke:19:31 @ And if anyone asks you, Why are you untying it? you shall say, Because the Lord has need of it.

rkjnt@Luke:19:32 @ And those who were sent went their way, and found it as he had said.

rkjnt@Luke:19:33 @ And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, Why are you untying the colt?

rkjnt@Luke:19:34 @ And they said, The Lord has need of it.

rkjnt@Luke:19:35 @ And they brought it to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they put Jesus on it.

rkjnt@Luke:19:36 @ And as he went, they spread their clothes on the road.

rkjnt@Luke:19:37 @ And as he was coming near, at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

rkjnt@Luke:19:38 @ Saying, Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

rkjnt@Luke:19:39 @ And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, Teacher, rebuke your disciples.

rkjnt@Luke:19:40 @ And he answered and said to them, I tell you that if they should hold their peace, the very stones would cry out.

rkjnt@Luke:19:41 @ And when he had come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

rkjnt@Luke:19:42 @ Saying, If you, even you, had only known on this day, the things which make for peace! but now they are hidden from your eyes.

rkjnt@Luke:19:43 @ For the days shall come upon you, when your enemies shall build an embankment about you, and surround you, and keep you in on every side,

rkjnt@Luke:19:44 @ And shall level you to the ground, and your children within you; and they shall not leave in you one stone upon another; because you did not know the time of your visitation.

rkjnt@Luke:19:45 @ And he went into the temple, and began to cast out those who were selling;

rkjnt@Luke:19:46 @ Saying to them, It is written, My house shall be a house of prayer: but you have made it a den of thieves.

rkjnt@Luke:19:47 @ And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the leaders of the people sought to destroy him,

rkjnt@Luke:19:48 @ But could not find what they might do: for all the people hung upon his words.

rkjnt@Luke:20:1 @ And it came to pass, on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came up to him with the elders,

rkjnt@Luke:20:2 @ And said to him, Tell us by what authority you do these things? or who it is who gave you this authority?

rkjnt@Luke:20:3 @ And he answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; and you answer me:

rkjnt@Luke:20:4 @ The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?

rkjnt@Luke:20:5 @ And they discussed among themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him?

rkjnt@Luke:20:6 @ But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

rkjnt@Luke:20:7 @ And they answered that they did not know from where it came.

rkjnt@Luke:20:8 @ And Jesus said to them, Neither will tell I you by what authority I do these things.

rkjnt@Luke:20:9 @ Then he began to tell the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and rented it out to tenants, and went into a far country for a long time.

rkjnt@Luke:20:10 @ And at harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants, that they should give him some of the fruit of the vineyard: but the tenants beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

rkjnt@Luke:20:11 @ He sent another servant: and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.

rkjnt@Luke:20:12 @ And he sent a third: and they wounded him, and cast him out.

rkjnt@Luke:20:13 @ Then the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will respect him when they see him.

rkjnt@Luke:20:14 @ But when the tenants saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

rkjnt@Luke:20:15 @ So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What then shall the lord of the vineyard do to them?

rkjnt@Luke:20:16 @ He shall come and destroy these tenants, and shall give the vineyard to others. When they heard this, they said, God forbid.

rkjnt@Luke:20:17 @ And he looked at them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone?

rkjnt@Luke:20:19 @ And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that same hour, for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them; but they feared the people.

rkjnt@Luke:20:20 @ So they watched him, and sent forth spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might catch him in his words, that they might deliver him to the power and authority of the governor.

rkjnt@Luke:20:21 @ And they asked him, Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly, and that you are not partial to any person, but teach the way of God truly:

rkjnt@Luke:20:23 @ But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them,

rkjnt@Luke:20:24 @ Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it? They answered, Caesar's.

rkjnt@Luke:20:25 @ And he said to them, Then render to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's.

rkjnt@Luke:20:26 @ And they could not trap him in what he said before the people: they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

rkjnt@Luke:20:27 @ Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, came to him, and they asked him,

rkjnt@Luke:20:28 @ Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any man's brother dies, leaving a wife and no children, that man should take the widow, and raise up children for his brother.

rkjnt@Luke:20:29 @ Now there were seven brothers: the first took a wife, and died without children.

rkjnt@Luke:20:30 @ And the second,

rkjnt@Luke:20:31 @ And the third took her; as did all seven: and they left no children, and died.

rkjnt@Luke:20:32 @ Last of all the woman died.

rkjnt@Luke:20:33 @ Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? for all seven had her as wife.

rkjnt@Luke:20:34 @ Jesus answered and said to them, The people of this age marry, and are given in marriage:

rkjnt@Luke:20:35 @ But those who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

rkjnt@Luke:20:36 @ Nor can they die any more: for they are like the angels; and are the children of God, since they are children of the resurrection.

rkjnt@Luke:20:37 @ That the dead are raised, even Moses showed in the account of the bush, when he called the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

rkjnt@Luke:20:38 @ For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all are alive to him.

rkjnt@Luke:20:39 @ Then certain of the scribes answered, Teacher, you have spoken well.

rkjnt@Luke:20:40 @ And after that they dared not ask him any more questions.

rkjnt@Luke:20:41 @ And he said to them, How is it that they say the Christ is David's son?

rkjnt@Luke:20:42 @ David himself says in the book of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,

rkjnt@Luke:20:44 @ Therefore David calls him Lord; so how is he then his son?

rkjnt@Luke:20:45 @ Then in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,

rkjnt@Luke:20:46 @ Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, and the best seats in the synagogues, and the places of honour at feasts;

rkjnt@Luke:20:47 @ They devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers: they shall receive the greater condemnation.

rkjnt@Luke:21:1 @ And he looked up, and saw the rich people putting their gifts into the treasury.

rkjnt@Luke:21:2 @ And he also saw a certain poor widow putting in two small copper coins.

rkjnt@Luke:21:3 @ And he said, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow has put in more than all of them:

rkjnt@Luke:21:4 @ For all these have given offerings to God out of their abundance: but she in her poverty has put in all she had to live on.

rkjnt@Luke:21:5 @ And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,

rkjnt@Luke:21:6 @ As for these things which you behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be one stone left upon another; every one of them shall be thrown down.

rkjnt@Luke:21:7 @ And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when shall these things happen? and what sign will there be that these things are about to take place?

rkjnt@Luke:21:8 @ And he said, Take heed that you are not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and, the time draws near: do not go after them.

rkjnt@Luke:21:9 @ And when you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end does not follow immediately.

rkjnt@Luke:21:10 @ Then said he to them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

rkjnt@Luke:21:11 @ And there shall be great earthquakes in various places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs from heaven.

rkjnt@Luke:21:12 @ But before all this, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, and you shall be brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

rkjnt@Luke:21:14 @ Therefore, settle it in your hearts, not to meditate beforehand how you shall answer:

rkjnt@Luke:21:16 @ And you shall be betrayed both by parents, and brothers, and relatives, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

rkjnt@Luke:21:18 @ But not a hair of your head shall perish.

rkjnt@Luke:21:20 @ And when you shall see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near.

rkjnt@Luke:21:21 @ Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let those who are inside the city depart; and let not those who are in the country enter into it.

rkjnt@Luke:21:22 @ For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

rkjnt@Luke:21:23 @ But woe to those who are with child, and to those who nurse infants, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

rkjnt@Luke:21:24 @ And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

rkjnt@Luke:21:25 @ And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth nations shall be distressed and perplexed by the roaring waves of the sea;

rkjnt@Luke:21:26 @ Men's hearts failing them for fear and foreboding of those things which are coming upon the earth: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

rkjnt@Luke:21:27 @ And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

rkjnt@Luke:21:28 @ And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near.

rkjnt@Luke:21:29 @ And he told them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

rkjnt@Luke:21:30 @ When they shoot forth leaves, you see and know for yourselves that summer is at hand.

rkjnt@Luke:21:31 @ So likewise, when you see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.

rkjnt@Luke:21:33 @ Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

rkjnt@Luke:21:34 @ And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be weighed down with dissipation, and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, so that day comes upon you unexpectedly like a snare.

rkjnt@Luke:21:35 @ For as a snare shall it come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth.

rkjnt@Luke:21:36 @ Watch therefore, and pray always, that you may be strong and accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

rkjnt@Luke:21:37 @ Now in the daytime he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and stayed on the mount that is called Olivet.

rkjnt@Luke:21:38 @ And all the people came to the temple early in the morning to hear him.

rkjnt@Luke:22:1 @ Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, drew near.

rkjnt@Luke:22:2 @ And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

rkjnt@Luke:22:3 @ Then Satan entered into Judas, called Iscariot, one the twelve.

rkjnt@Luke:22:4 @ And he went his way, and discussed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him to them.

rkjnt@Luke:22:5 @ They were glad, and agreed to give him money.

rkjnt@Luke:22:6 @ So he consented, and sought an opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of the multitude.

rkjnt@Luke:22:7 @ Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover lamb must be killed.

rkjnt@Luke:22:8 @ And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat it.

rkjnt@Luke:22:9 @ And they said to him, Where will you have us prepare it?

rkjnt@Luke:22:10 @ And he said to them, Behold, when you enter the city, a man shall meet you there, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house that he enters.

rkjnt@Luke:22:11 @ And you shall say to the owner of the house, The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

rkjnt@Luke:22:12 @ And he shall show you a large upper room, furnished: make ready there.

rkjnt@Luke:22:13 @ And they went, and found it as he had said to them: and they made ready the passover.

rkjnt@Luke:22:14 @ And when the hour had come, he sat down, and the apostles with him.

rkjnt@Luke:22:15 @ And he said to them, I have earnestly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

rkjnt@Luke:22:16 @ For I say to you, I will not eat it again, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

rkjnt@Luke:22:17 @ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

rkjnt@Luke:22:18 @ For I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

rkjnt@Luke:22:19 @ And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: do this in remembrance of me.

rkjnt@Luke:22:20 @ Likewise he took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood.

rkjnt@Luke:22:21 @ But, behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.

rkjnt@Luke:22:22 @ Truly the Son of man goes, as it was determined: but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!

rkjnt@Luke:22:23 @ And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

rkjnt@Luke:22:24 @ And there was also a dispute among them as to which of them should be accounted the greatest.

rkjnt@Luke:22:25 @ And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and those who exercise authority over them are called benefactors.

rkjnt@Luke:22:26 @ But not so with you: but he who is greatest among you, let him be as the youngest; and he who rules, as he who serves.

rkjnt@Luke:22:27 @ For which is greater, he who reclines at table, or he who serves? is it not he who reclines at table? but I am among you as one who serves.

rkjnt@Luke:22:29 @ And I grant to you a kingdom, as my Father has granted to me;

rkjnt@Luke:22:30 @ That you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

rkjnt@Luke:22:31 @ And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:

rkjnt@Luke:22:32 @ But I have prayed for you, that your faith will not fail: and when you have turned back, strengthen your brethren.

rkjnt@Luke:22:33 @ And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you, both into prison, and to death.

rkjnt@Luke:22:34 @ And he said, I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before you have thrice denied that you know me.

rkjnt@Luke:22:35 @ And he said to them, When I sent you out without purse, or bag, or sandals, did you lack anything? And they said, Nothing.

rkjnt@Luke:22:36 @ Then he said to them, But now, he who has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag: and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

rkjnt@Luke:22:37 @ For I say to you, that this scripture must yet be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for that which refers to me has its fulfillment.

rkjnt@Luke:22:38 @ And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.

rkjnt@Luke:22:39 @ And he came out, and went, as was his custom, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples followed him.

rkjnt@Luke:22:40 @ When he arrived at the place, he said to them, Pray that you may not enter into temptation.

rkjnt@Luke:22:41 @ And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down, and prayed,

rkjnt@Luke:22:42 @ Saying, Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but yours, be done.

rkjnt@Luke:22:43 @ And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

rkjnt@Luke:22:44 @ And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

rkjnt@Luke:22:45 @ And when he rose up from prayer, and came to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

rkjnt@Luke:22:46 @ And said to them, Why do you sleep? rise and pray, that you may not enter into temptation.

rkjnt@Luke:22:47 @ And while he yet spoke, behold a multitude came, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.

rkjnt@Luke:22:48 @ But Jesus said to him, Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?

rkjnt@Luke:22:49 @ When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, Lord, shall we strike with the sword?

rkjnt@Luke:22:50 @ And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

rkjnt@Luke:22:51 @ And Jesus answered, No more of this. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

rkjnt@Luke:22:52 @ Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and officers of the temple, and the elders, who had come to him, Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

rkjnt@Luke:22:53 @ When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not stretch forth hands against me: but this is your hour, when darkness reigns.

rkjnt@Luke:22:54 @ Then they seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed from afar.

rkjnt@Luke:22:55 @ And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and sat down together, Peter sat among them.

rkjnt@Luke:22:56 @ But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.

rkjnt@Luke:22:57 @ And he denied it, saying, Woman, I do not know him.

rkjnt@Luke:22:58 @ And after a little while another saw him, and said, You are also one of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

rkjnt@Luke:22:59 @ And after about an hour another insisted, Truly this man was also with him: for he is a Galilaean.

rkjnt@Luke:22:60 @ And Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are saying. And immediately, while he yet spoke, the cock crowed.

rkjnt@Luke:22:61 @ And the Lord turned, and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, Before the cock crows today, you shall deny me thrice.

rkjnt@Luke:22:62 @ And he went out, and wept bitterly.

rkjnt@Luke:22:63 @ And the men who held Jesus mocked him, and struck him.

rkjnt@Luke:22:64 @ And they blindfolded him, and struck him on the face, and asked him, Prophesy, who was it who struck you?

rkjnt@Luke:22:65 @ And they spoke many other insulting things against him.

rkjnt@Luke:22:66 @ And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,

rkjnt@Luke:22:67 @ Are you the Christ? tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, you will not believe:

rkjnt@Luke:22:69 @ Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.

rkjnt@Luke:22:70 @ Then they all said, Are you then the Son of God? And he said to them, You say that I am.

rkjnt@Luke:22:71 @ And they said, What need have we of further testimony? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.

rkjnt@Luke:23:1 @ And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him to Pilate.

rkjnt@Luke:23:2 @ And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting our nation, and forbidding us to give taxes to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

rkjnt@Luke:23:3 @ And Pilate asked him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he answered him, You have said so.

rkjnt@Luke:23:4 @ Then Pilate said to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

rkjnt@Luke:23:5 @ And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning in Galilee and coming all the way to this place.

rkjnt@Luke:23:6 @ When Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilaean.

rkjnt@Luke:23:7 @ And as soon as he learned that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself also in Jerusalem at that time.

rkjnt@Luke:23:8 @ And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad: for he had long wanted to see him, because he had heard many things about him; and he hoped to see a miracle done by him.

rkjnt@Luke:23:9 @ Then he questioned him at length; but he made no answer.

rkjnt@Luke:23:10 @ The chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

rkjnt@Luke:23:11 @ And Herod with his men of war treated him with contempt, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

rkjnt@Luke:23:12 @ And that same day Pilate and Herod became friends: for before there had been enmity between them.

rkjnt@Luke:23:13 @ And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

rkjnt@Luke:23:14 @ Said to them, You have brought this man to me, as one who perverts the people: but, behold, having examined him before you, I found no fault in this man regarding those things of which you accuse him:

rkjnt@Luke:23:15 @ No, nor did Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

rkjnt@Luke:23:16 @ Therefore I will chastise him, and release him.

rkjnt@Luke:23:17 @ [For he was obliged to release one man to them at the feast.]

rkjnt@Luke:23:18 @ But they all cried out at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas:

rkjnt@Luke:23:19 @ (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

rkjnt@Luke:23:20 @ Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, spoke to them again.

rkjnt@Luke:23:21 @ But they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

rkjnt@Luke:23:22 @ And he said to them a third time, Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no crime deserving death: therefore I will chastise him, and let him go.

rkjnt@Luke:23:23 @ And they were insistent, with loud voices demanding that he be crucified. And their voices prevailed.

rkjnt@Luke:23:24 @ So Pilate pronounced the sentence they demanded.

rkjnt@Luke:23:25 @ And he released to them the one they asked for, he who had been cast into prison for sedition and murder; but he delivered Jesus over to their will.

rkjnt@Luke:23:26 @ And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming in from the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might carry it after Jesus.

rkjnt@Luke:23:27 @ And there followed him a great company of people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.

rkjnt@Luke:23:28 @ But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

rkjnt@Luke:23:29 @ For, behold, the days are coming when they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts which never nursed.

rkjnt@Luke:23:30 @ Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us.

rkjnt@Luke:23:31 @ For if they do these things when the wood is green, what shall happen when it is dry?

rkjnt@Luke:23:32 @ And there were also two others, criminals, who were led away with him to be put to death.

rkjnt@Luke:23:33 @ And when they had come to the place, which is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

rkjnt@Luke:23:34 @ Then Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they do. And they divided his clothing by casting lots.

rkjnt@Luke:23:35 @ The people stood watching. And the rulers derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ, the chosen of God.

rkjnt@Luke:23:36 @ And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him wine vinegar,

rkjnt@Luke:23:37 @ And saying, If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.

rkjnt@Luke:23:38 @ Now there was also an inscription written over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

rkjnt@Luke:23:39 @ And one of the criminals who was hung there railed at him, saying, If you are the Christ, save yourself and us.

rkjnt@Luke:23:40 @ But the other rebuked him, saying, Do you not fear God, since you are under the same condemnation?

rkjnt@Luke:23:41 @ And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man has done nothing wrong.

rkjnt@Luke:23:42 @ And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.

rkjnt@Luke:23:44 @ And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour,

rkjnt@Luke:23:45 @ For the sun was darkened. And the veil of the temple was torn in two.

rkjnt@Luke:23:46 @ And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and said, Father, into your hands I commit my spirit: and having said this, he breathed his last.

rkjnt@Luke:23:47 @ Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

rkjnt@Luke:23:48 @ And all the people who came together to see the sight, when they saw the things that had taken place, struck their breasts, and returned.

rkjnt@Luke:23:49 @ And all his acquaintances, and the women who followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

rkjnt@Luke:23:50 @ Now, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a member of the council; a good man, and just:

rkjnt@Luke:23:51 @ (Who had not consented to their decision and deed;) a man from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God.

rkjnt@Luke:23:52 @ This man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

rkjnt@Luke:23:53 @ And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb cut into the stone, where no man had ever before been laid.

rkjnt@Luke:23:54 @ It was the day of preparation, and the sabbath drew near.

rkjnt@Luke:23:55 @ Now the women who came with him from Galilee, followed behind, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid.

rkjnt@Luke:23:56 @ Then they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested on the sabbath day according to the commandment.

rkjnt@Luke:24:1 @ Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.

rkjnt@Luke:24:2 @ And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.

rkjnt@Luke:24:3 @ They entered, but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

rkjnt@Luke:24:4 @ And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

rkjnt@Luke:24:5 @ They were afraid, and bowed their faces to the earth, and the men said to them, Why do you seek the living among the dead?

rkjnt@Luke:24:6 @ He is not here, but has risen: remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee,

rkjnt@Luke:24:7 @ Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

rkjnt@Luke:24:8 @ And they remembered his words,

rkjnt@Luke:24:9 @ And returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.

rkjnt@Luke:24:10 @ They were Mary of Magdala, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women with them, who told these things to the apostles.

rkjnt@Luke:24:11 @ And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they did not believe them.

rkjnt@Luke:24:12 @ Then Peter arose, and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering to himself at that which had come to pass.

rkjnt@Luke:24:13 @ And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

rkjnt@Luke:24:14 @ And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

rkjnt@Luke:24:15 @ And it came to pass, that, while they were conversing and discussing, Jesus himself drew near, and went along with them.

rkjnt@Luke:24:16 @ But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

rkjnt@Luke:24:17 @ And he said to them, What is it that you are discussing with each other as you walk? And they stood still, looking downcast.

rkjnt@Luke:24:18 @ And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, Are you the only visitor in Jerusalem who does not know the things which have come to pass there in these days?

rkjnt@Luke:24:19 @ 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:

rkjnt@Luke:24:20 @ And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

rkjnt@Luke:24:21 @ But we trusted that it was he who would redeem Israel: and beside all this, today is the third day since these things happened.

rkjnt@Luke:24:22 @ Yea, and certain women of our company astonished us, for they were at the tomb early;

rkjnt@Luke:24:23 @ And they did not find his body. They came back, saying that they had seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

rkjnt@Luke:24:24 @ And certain of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said: but him they did not see.

rkjnt@Luke:24:25 @ Then he said to them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

rkjnt@Luke:24:26 @ Was it not necessary for the Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

rkjnt@Luke:24:27 @ And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them all the things concerning himself in the scriptures.

rkjnt@Luke:24:28 @ And they drew near to the village, where they were going: and he acted as though he would have gone farther.

rkjnt@Luke:24:29 @ But they urged him strongly, saying, Stay with us: for it is getting toward evening, and the day is nearly over. And he went in to stay with them.

rkjnt@Luke:24:30 @ And it came to pass, as he was at table with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to them.

rkjnt@Luke:24:31 @ And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished out of their sight.

rkjnt@Luke:24:32 @ And they said to one another, Did not our hearts burn within us, while he talked with us along the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

rkjnt@Luke:24:33 @ They rose up that same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, along with those who were with them,

rkjnt@Luke:24:34 @ Saying, The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon.

rkjnt@Luke:24:35 @ And they told what had happened on the road, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of bread.

rkjnt@Luke:24:36 @ And as they spoke of this, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, Peace be with you.

rkjnt@Luke:24:37 @ But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed that they were seeing a spirit.

rkjnt@Luke:24:38 @ And he said to them, Why are you troubled? and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

rkjnt@Luke:24:40 @ And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet.

rkjnt@Luke:24:41 @ And while they still did not believe because of joy, and marvelled, he said to them, Have you anything here to eat?

rkjnt@Luke:24:42 @ And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.

rkjnt@Luke:24:43 @ And he took it, and ate it before them.

rkjnt@Luke:24:44 @ He said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which are written about me in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms.

rkjnt@Luke:24:45 @ Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the scriptures,

rkjnt@Luke:24:46 @ And said to them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise from the dead on the third day:

rkjnt@Luke:24:47 @ And that repentance for forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

rkjnt@Luke:24:48 @ You are witnesses of these things.

rkjnt@Luke:24:49 @ 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.

rkjnt@Luke:24:50 @ And he led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

rkjnt@Luke:24:51 @ And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

rkjnt@Luke:24:52 @ And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

rkjnt@Luke:24:53 @ And were continually in the temple, praising God.

rkjnt@John:1:1 @ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

rkjnt@John:1:2 @ He was in the beginning with God.

rkjnt@John:1:4 @ In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

rkjnt@John:1:5 @ And the light shines in the darkness; and the darkness has not comprehended it.

rkjnt@John:1:6 @ There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

rkjnt@John:1:7 @ He came as a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

rkjnt@John:1:8 @ He was not the Light, but was sent to bear witness to the Light.

rkjnt@John:1:9 @ The true Light, which enlightens every man, was coming into the world.

rkjnt@John:1:10 @ He was in the world, and the world was made by him, but the world did not know him.

rkjnt@John:1:11 @ He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.

rkjnt@John:1:12 @ But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become the children of God, even to those who believe in his name:

rkjnt@John:1:13 @ Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

rkjnt@John:1:14 @ And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father,) full of grace and truth.

rkjnt@John:1:15 @ John bore witness to him, and cried out, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He who comes after me ranks above me: for he was before me.

rkjnt@John:1:17 @ For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

rkjnt@John:1:18 @ No man has seen God at any time; but God the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.

rkjnt@John:1:19 @ And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you?

rkjnt@John:1:20 @ And he confessed, and did not deny; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

rkjnt@John:1:21 @ And they asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And he answered, No.

rkjnt@John:1:22 @ Then they said to him, Who are you? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?

rkjnt@John:1:23 @ He said, I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said.

rkjnt@John:1:24 @ Now they had been sent by the Pharisees.

rkjnt@John:1:25 @ And they asked him, Why do you baptize then, if you are not the Christ, or Elijah, or the prophet?

rkjnt@John:1:26 @ John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but one stands among you, whom you do not know;

rkjnt@John:1:27 @ It is he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.

rkjnt@John:1:28 @ These things took place in Bethany, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

rkjnt@John:1:29 @ The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

rkjnt@John:1:30 @ This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who ranks above me: for he was before me.

rkjnt@John:1:31 @ And I did not know him: but I came baptizing with water that he might be revealed to Israel.

rkjnt@John:1:32 @ And John bore witness, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained upon him.

rkjnt@John:1:33 @ And I did not know him: but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, He upon whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.

rkjnt@John:1:34 @ And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.

rkjnt@John:1:35 @ Again the next day John stood with two of his disciples;

rkjnt@John:1:36 @ And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of God!

rkjnt@John:1:37 @ And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

rkjnt@John:1:38 @ Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, What do you seek? They said to him, Rabbi, (which translated means Teacher,) where are you staying?

rkjnt@John:1:39 @ He said to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he was staying, and remained with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

rkjnt@John:1:40 @ One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

rkjnt@John:1:41 @ He first found his brother Simon, and said to him, We have found the Messiah, which translated means Christ.

rkjnt@John:1:42 @ And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus saw him, he said, You are Simon the son of John: you shall be called Cephas, which translated means, Peter.

rkjnt@John:1:43 @ The day following Jesus decided to go forth into Galilee; and he found Philip, and said to him, Follow me.

rkjnt@John:1:44 @ Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

rkjnt@John:1:45 @ Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote about, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

rkjnt@John:1:48 @ Nathanael said to him, How do you know me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.

rkjnt@John:1:49 @ Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.

rkjnt@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.

rkjnt@John:1:51 @ And he said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, You shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

rkjnt@John:2:1 @ On the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

rkjnt@John:2:2 @ And both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the marriage.

rkjnt@John:2:3 @ And when the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.

rkjnt@John:2:4 @ Jesus said to her, Woman, what have I to do with you? my hour has not yet come.

rkjnt@John:2:5 @ His mother said to the servants, Whatever he says to you, do it.

rkjnt@John:2:6 @ Now there were six waterpots of stone set there, for the Jewish custom of purification, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece.

rkjnt@John:2:7 @ Jesus said to them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

rkjnt@John:2:8 @ And he said to them, Now draw some out, and take it to the steward of the feast. So they took it.

rkjnt@John:2:9 @ When the steward of the feast tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from: (but the servants who drew the water knew;) the steward of the feast called the bridegroom,

rkjnt@John:2:10 @ And said to him, Every man serves the good wine at the beginning; and when men have drunk freely, then that which is worse: but you have kept the good wine until now.

rkjnt@John:2:11 @ This, the beginning of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

rkjnt@John:2:12 @ After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples: and they stayed there not many days.

rkjnt@John:2:13 @ And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

rkjnt@John:2:14 @ And found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting there:

rkjnt@John:2:15 @ And when he had made a whip of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep, and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and overturned their tables;

rkjnt@John:2:16 @ And said to those who sold doves, Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of merchandise.

rkjnt@John:2:18 @ Then the Jews answered and said to him, What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?

rkjnt@John:2:19 @ Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

rkjnt@John:2:20 @ Then the Jews said, It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?

rkjnt@John:2:21 @ But he spoke of the temple of his body.

rkjnt@John:2:22 @ Therefore, when he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered he had said this to them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.

rkjnt@John:2:23 @ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, when they saw the miraculous signs which he did.

rkjnt@John:2:24 @ But Jesus did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all men,

rkjnt@John:2:25 @ And needed no one to testify about man: for he himself knew what was in man.

rkjnt@John:3:1 @ There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

rkjnt@John:3:2 @ He came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God: for no man can do the miraculous signs that you do, unless God is with him.

rkjnt@John:3:3 @ Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

rkjnt@John:3:4 @ Nicodemus said to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

rkjnt@John:3:5 @ Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

rkjnt@John:3:6 @ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

rkjnt@John:3:8 @ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but can not tell from where it comes, and where it goes: so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.

rkjnt@John:3:9 @ Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?

rkjnt@John:3:10 @ Jesus answered and said to him, Are you a teacher of Israel, and do not know these things?

rkjnt@John:3:12 @ If I have told you earthly things, and you do not believe, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

rkjnt@John:3:13 @ No man has ascended to heaven, but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man.

rkjnt@John:3:14 @ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up:

rkjnt@John:3:16 @ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

rkjnt@John:3:17 @ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world might be saved through him.

rkjnt@John:3:18 @ He who believes in him is not condemned: but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

rkjnt@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.

rkjnt@John:3:20 @ For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

rkjnt@John:3:21 @ But he who practices the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be shown to have been done through God.

rkjnt@John:3:22 @ After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judaea; and there he remained with them, and baptized.

rkjnt@John:3:23 @ And John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there: and people came, and were baptized.

rkjnt@John:3:25 @ Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and a Jew about purifying.

rkjnt@John:3:26 @ And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore witness, behold, he is baptizing, and all men are going to him.

rkjnt@John:3:27 @ John answered, A man can receive nothing, unless it has been given to him from heaven.

rkjnt@John:3:28 @ You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I have been sent before him.

rkjnt@John:3:29 @ He who has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.

rkjnt@John:3:30 @ He must increase, but I must decrease.

rkjnt@John:3:31 @ He who comes from above is above all: he who is of the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth: he who comes from heaven is above all.

rkjnt@John:3:32 @ And what he has seen and heard, to that he testifies; yet no man receives his testimony.

rkjnt@John:3:33 @ He who has received his testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true.

rkjnt@John:3:34 @ For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: for God gives the Spirit without measure.

rkjnt@John:3:35 @ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.

rkjnt@John:3:36 @ He who believes in the Son has eternal life: but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God rests upon him.

rkjnt@John:4:1 @ Therefore, when the Lord learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

rkjnt@John:4:3 @ He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

rkjnt@John:4:4 @ And he had to go through Samaria.

rkjnt@John:4:5 @ Then he came to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

rkjnt@John:4:6 @ Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus, therefore, being wearied from his journey, sat by the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

rkjnt@John:4:7 @ There came a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus said to her, Give me a drink.

rkjnt@John:4:8 @ (For his disciples had gone away to the city to buy food.)

rkjnt@John:4:9 @ Then the woman of Samaria said to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

rkjnt@John:4:10 @ Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, Give me a drink; you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.

rkjnt@John:4:11 @ The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where do you get that living water?

rkjnt@John:4:12 @ Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his children, and his cattle?

rkjnt@John:4:13 @ Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again:

rkjnt@John:4:14 @ But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into eternal life.

rkjnt@John:4:15 @ The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.

rkjnt@John:4:16 @ Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come here.

rkjnt@John:4:17 @ The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have well said, I have no husband:

rkjnt@John:4:18 @ For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that you spoke truly.

rkjnt@John:4:19 @ The woman said to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

rkjnt@John:4:20 @ Our fathers worshipped on this mountain; but you say that Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

rkjnt@John:4:21 @ Jesus said to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes when you shall worship the Father neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem.

rkjnt@John:4:22 @ You do not know what you worship: we know what we worship: for salvation is from the Jews.

rkjnt@John:4:23 @ But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.

rkjnt@John:4:25 @ The woman said to him, I know that Messiah comes, who is called Christ: when he comes, he will tell us all things.

rkjnt@John:4:26 @ Jesus said to her, I who speak to you am he.

rkjnt@John:4:27 @ And at this moment his disciples came, and marvelled that he was speaking with a woman: yet no one said, What do you seek? or, Why are you talking with her?

rkjnt@John:4:28 @ Then the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city, and said to the people,

rkjnt@John:4:29 @ Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did: is this not the Christ?

rkjnt@John:4:30 @ Then they went out of the city, and came to him.

rkjnt@John:4:31 @ In the meanwhile his disciples urged him, saying, Rabbi, eat.

rkjnt@John:4:32 @ But he said to them, I have food to eat of which you know nothing.

rkjnt@John:4:33 @ Therefore the disciples said to one another, Has any man brought him food?

rkjnt@John:4:34 @ Jesus said to them, My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work.

rkjnt@John:4:35 @ Do you not say, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are already white for harvest.

rkjnt@John:4:36 @ And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for life eternal: that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

rkjnt@John:4:37 @ And here the saying holds true, One sows, and another reaps.

rkjnt@John:4:38 @ I sent you to reap that upon which you bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and you have entered into their labours.

rkjnt@John:4:39 @ And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in him because of the words of the woman's testimony, He told me all that I ever did.

rkjnt@John:4:40 @ So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them: and he stayed there two days.

rkjnt@John:4:42 @ And they said to the woman, Now we believe, no longer because of your words: for now we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

rkjnt@John:4:43 @ Now after two days he departed from there, and went into Galilee.

rkjnt@John:4:44 @ For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honour in his own country.

rkjnt@John:4:45 @ When he came to Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went to the feast.

rkjnt@John:4:46 @ So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

rkjnt@John:4:47 @ When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

rkjnt@John:4:48 @ Then Jesus said to him, Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.

rkjnt@John:4:49 @ The royal official said to him, Sir, come down before my child dies.

rkjnt@John:4:50 @ Jesus said to him, Go your way; your son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he went his way.

rkjnt@John:4:51 @ And as he was going down, his servants met him, and told him, Your son lives.

rkjnt@John:4:52 @ Then he enquired of them the hour when he began to mend. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

rkjnt@John:4:53 @ Then the father realized that this was the very hour when Jesus said to him, Your son lives: and he believed, and his whole household.

rkjnt@John:4:54 @ This was the second miraculous sign Jesus did after he came out of Judaea into Galilee.

rkjnt@John:5:1 @ After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

rkjnt@John:5:2 @ Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, and which has five porches.

rkjnt@John:5:3 @ On these lay a great multitude of disabled, blind, lame, and paralysed people, [waiting for the moving of the water.

rkjnt@John:5:4 @ For an angel went down at certain seasons into the pool, and stirred up the water: whoever then first stepped into the water after the stirring up was cured of whatever disease he had.]

rkjnt@John:5:5 @ And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity for thirty-eight years.

rkjnt@John:5:6 @ When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been a long time in that condition, he said to him, Do you want to be made well?

rkjnt@John:5:7 @ The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up: but while I am coming, another steps down before me.

rkjnt@John:5:9 @ And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his mat, and walked: Now that day was the sabbath.

rkjnt@John:5:10 @ The Jews therefore said to the man who was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for you to carry your mat.

rkjnt@John:5:11 @ He answered them, He who made me well said to me, Take up your mat, and walk.

rkjnt@John:5:12 @ Then they asked him, What man is it who said to you, Take up your mat, and walk?

rkjnt@John:5:13 @ But the man who was healed did not know who it was: for Jesus had quietly withdrawn while there was a crowd in that place.

rkjnt@John:5:14 @ Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, you have been made well: sin no more, lest something worse come upon you.

rkjnt@John:5:15 @ The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

rkjnt@John:5:16 @ And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

rkjnt@John:5:17 @ But Jesus answered them, My Father works even until now, and I work.

rkjnt@John:5:18 @ Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but also said that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

rkjnt@John:5:19 @ Then Jesus answered and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, The Son can do nothing by himself, but only what he sees the Father doing: for whatever things he does, these things the Son does likewise.

rkjnt@John:5:20 @ For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he is doing: and he will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

rkjnt@John:5:21 @ For as the Father raises up the dead, and gives them life; even so the Son gives life to whom he will.

rkjnt@John:5:22 @ For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son:

rkjnt@John:5:23 @ That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who has sent him.

rkjnt@John:5:24 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, He who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and shall not come into judgment; but has passed from death into life.

rkjnt@John:5:25 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and those who hear shall live.

rkjnt@John:5:26 @ For as the Father has life in himself; so he has granted to the Son to have life in himself;

rkjnt@John:5:27 @ And has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.

rkjnt@John:5:28 @ Do not marvel at this: for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

rkjnt@John:5:29 @ And shall come forth; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.

rkjnt@John:5:30 @ I can do nothing by myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

rkjnt@John:5:32 @ There is another who bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he bears of me is true.

rkjnt@John:5:33 @ You sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth.

rkjnt@John:5:34 @ Not that the testimony I receive is from man: but these things I say, that you might be saved.

rkjnt@John:5:35 @ He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

rkjnt@John:5:36 @ But I have a greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father has given me to finish, the very works that I do, these bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.

rkjnt@John:5:37 @ And the Father himself, who has sent me, has borne witness of me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

rkjnt@John:5:38 @ And you do not have his word abiding in you: for you do not believe him whom he has sent.

rkjnt@John:5:39 @ You search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and it is they that testify of me.

rkjnt@John:5:42 @ But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.

rkjnt@John:5:43 @ I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.

rkjnt@John:5:44 @ How can you believe, when you receive honour from one another, and do not seek the honour that comes from him who alone is God?

rkjnt@John:5:45 @ Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one who accuses you, Moses, in whom you trust.

rkjnt@John:5:46 @ For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

rkjnt@John:6:1 @ After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, that is, the sea of Tiberias.

rkjnt@John:6:2 @ And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miraculous signs which he performed on those who were diseased.

rkjnt@John:6:3 @ And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

rkjnt@John:6:4 @ And the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

rkjnt@John:6:5 @ When Jesus lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company coming to him, he said to Philip, Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

rkjnt@John:6:6 @ And this he said to test him: for he knew what he would do.

rkjnt@John:6:7 @ Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii of bread is not sufficient for every one of them to have a little.

rkjnt@John:6:8 @ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

rkjnt@John:6:9 @ There is a lad here, who has five barley loaves, and two small fish: but what are they among so many?

rkjnt@John:6:10 @ And 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.

rkjnt@John:6:11 @ And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to those who were seated; and he did likewise with the fish, as much as they wanted.

rkjnt@John:6:12 @ When they were filled, he said to his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing may be lost.

rkjnt@John:6:13 @ Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

rkjnt@John:6:14 @ Then those men, when they had seen the miraculous sign that Jesus did, said, This is truly the prophet who is to come into the world.

rkjnt@John:6:15 @ When Jesus perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again to the mountain by himself.

rkjnt@John:6:16 @ And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

rkjnt@John:6:17 @ And entered into a boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

rkjnt@John:6:18 @ And the sea arose because of a great wind that blew.

rkjnt@John:6:19 @ So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat: and they were afraid.

rkjnt@John:6:20 @ But he said to them, It is I; do not be afraid.

rkjnt@John:6:21 @ Then they gladly received him into the boat: and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

rkjnt@John:6:22 @ The day following, the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one into which his disciples had entered, and that Jesus did not go with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples had gone away alone.

rkjnt@John:6:23 @ But now some other boats came from Tiberias near to the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks.

rkjnt@John:6:24 @ When the people saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they got into the small boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

rkjnt@John:6:25 @ And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when did you come here?

rkjnt@John:6:26 @ Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw the miraculous signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.

rkjnt@John:6:27 @ Do not labour for the food which perishes, but for that food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man shall give to you: for on him has God the Father set his seal.

rkjnt@John:6:28 @ Then they said to him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

rkjnt@John:6:29 @ Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.

rkjnt@John:6:30 @ Therefore they said to him, What sign do you show then, that we may see, and believe you? what work do you perform?

rkjnt@John:6:31 @ Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

rkjnt@John:6:32 @ Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

rkjnt@John:6:33 @ For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world.

rkjnt@John:6:34 @ Then they said to him, Lord, give us this bread always.

rkjnt@John:6:35 @ And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he who comes to me shall never hunger; and he who believes in me shall never thirst.

rkjnt@John:6:37 @ All those whom the Father gives me shall come to me; and he who comes to me I will by no means cast out.

rkjnt@John:6:38 @ For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

rkjnt@John:6:39 @ And this is the will of him who sent me, that of all he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up on the last day.

rkjnt@John:6:40 @ And this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son, and believes in him, may have eternal life: and I will raise him up on the last day.

rkjnt@John:6:41 @ Then the Jews murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

rkjnt@John:6:42 @ And they said, Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he now says, I came down from heaven?

rkjnt@John:6:43 @ Jesus answered and said to them, Do not murmur among yourselves.

rkjnt@John:6:44 @ No man can come to me, unless the Father who sent me draws him: and I will raise him up on the last day.

rkjnt@John:6:45 @ It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught by God. Therefore, every man who has heard, and has learned from the Father, comes to me.

rkjnt@John:6:46 @ Not that any man has seen the Father, except he who is from God; he has seen the Father.

rkjnt@John:6:47 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes has eternal life.

rkjnt@John:6:48 @ I am the bread of life.

rkjnt@John:6:49 @ Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

rkjnt@John:6:50 @ This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die.

rkjnt@John:6:51 @ I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

rkjnt@John:6:52 @ The Jews then argued among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

rkjnt@John:6:53 @ Then 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.

rkjnt@John:6:54 @ Whoever eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day.

rkjnt@John:6:56 @ He who eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, dwells in me, and I in him.

rkjnt@John:6:57 @ As the living Father sent me, and I live by the Father: so he who eats me shall live because of me.

rkjnt@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down from heaven: not as the fathers ate manna, and died: he who eats this bread shall live forever.

rkjnt@John:6:59 @ These things he said in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

rkjnt@John:6:60 @ Many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?

rkjnt@John:6:61 @ But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, Does this offend you?

rkjnt@John:6:62 @ What then if you should see the Son of man ascend to where he was before?

rkjnt@John:6:63 @ The spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing: the words I speak to you are spirit and life.

rkjnt@John:6:64 @ But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning those who did not believe, and who would betray him.

rkjnt@John:6:65 @ And he said, Therefore I said to you, that no one can come to me, unless it is granted to him by the Father.

rkjnt@John:6:67 @ Then Jesus said to the twelve, Do you also want to go away?

rkjnt@John:6:68 @ Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? you have the words of eternal life.

rkjnt@John:6:69 @ And we believe and have come to know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

rkjnt@John:6:70 @ Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?

rkjnt@John:6:71 @ He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for it was he, one of the twelve, who would betray him.

rkjnt@John:7:1 @ After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

rkjnt@John:7:2 @ Now the Jewish feast of tabernacles was at hand.

rkjnt@John:7:3 @ His brothers said to him, Depart from here, and go into Judaea, that your disciples may also see the works that you do.

rkjnt@John:7:4 @ For there is no man who does anything in secret, if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.

rkjnt@John:7:5 @ For his brothers did not believe in him either.

rkjnt@John:7:6 @ Then Jesus said to them, My time has not yet come: but your time is always here.

rkjnt@John:7:7 @ The world cannot hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.

rkjnt@John:7:9 @ When he had said these words to them, he remained in Galilee.

rkjnt@John:7:10 @ But when his brothers had gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

rkjnt@John:7:11 @ Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

rkjnt@John:7:12 @ And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, No; he deceives the people.

rkjnt@John:7:13 @ Yet no man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

rkjnt@John:7:14 @ Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

rkjnt@John:7:15 @ And the Jews marvelled, saying, How has this man become learned, having never studied?

rkjnt@John:7:16 @ Jesus answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

rkjnt@John:7:17 @ If any man is willing to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.

rkjnt@John:7:18 @ He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory: but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him, he is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

rkjnt@John:7:19 @ Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?

rkjnt@John:7:20 @ The people answered and said, You have a devil: who seeks to kill you?

rkjnt@John:7:21 @ Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and you all marvel.

rkjnt@John:7:22 @ Moses gave you circumcision; (though it is not from Moses, but from the fathers;) and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.

rkjnt@John:7:23 @ If a man may receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are you angry at me, because I have made an entire man well on the sabbath day?

rkjnt@John:7:25 @ Then some people of Jerusalem said, Is this not the man whom they seek to kill?

rkjnt@John:7:26 @ But, lo, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers really know that this is the Christ?

rkjnt@John:7:27 @ Yet we know where this man is from: but when the Christ comes, no man will know where he is from.

rkjnt@John:7:28 @ Then Jesus cried out in the temple as he taught, saying, You both know me, and you know where I am from: and I have not come of my own accord, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.

rkjnt@John:7:29 @ But I know him: for I am from him, and he has sent me.

rkjnt@John:7:30 @ Then they sought to seize him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.

rkjnt@John:7:31 @ And many of the people believed in him, and said, When the Christ comes, will he do more miraculous signs than this man has done?

rkjnt@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the people muttering such things about him; and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

rkjnt@John:7:33 @ Then Jesus said to them, Yet for a little while shall I be with you, and then I go to him who sent me.

rkjnt@John:7:34 @ You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, there you cannot come.

rkjnt@John:7:35 @ Then the Jews said among themselves, Where will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go to those dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

rkjnt@John:7:36 @ What manner of saying is this, You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, there you cannot come?

rkjnt@John:7:37 @ On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.

rkjnt@John:7:38 @ He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.

rkjnt@John:7:39 @ (But this he spoke of the Spirit, which those who believe in him were to receive: for the Holy Spirit had not yet been given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

rkjnt@John:7:40 @ Many of the people, when they heard this, said, Truly this is the Prophet.

rkjnt@John:7:41 @ Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?

rkjnt@John:7:42 @ Has not the scripture said, That Christ comes from the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, the village where David lived?

rkjnt@John:7:43 @ So there was a division among the people because of him.

rkjnt@John:7:45 @ Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees; who said to them, Why have you not brought him?

rkjnt@John:7:46 @ The officers answered, Never did a man speak like this man.

rkjnt@John:7:47 @ Then the Pharisees answered them, Are you also deceived?

rkjnt@John:7:48 @ Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in him?

rkjnt@John:7:49 @ But this crowd, which does not know the law, is cursed.

rkjnt@John:7:50 @ Nicodemus (who came to Jesus earlier, and who was one of them) said to them,

rkjnt@John:7:51 @ Does our law judge any man, before it hears him, and knows what he is doing?

rkjnt@John:7:52 @ They answered and said to him, Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see: no prophet arises out of Galilee.

rkjnt@John:8:1 @ But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.

rkjnt@John:8:2 @ And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down, and taught them.

rkjnt@John:8:3 @ And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery; and when they had placed her in the midst,

rkjnt@John:8:4 @ They said to him, Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act.

rkjnt@John:8:5 @ Now Moses, in the law, commanded us to stone such women; but what do you say?

rkjnt@John:8:6 @ This they said, testing him, that they might have grounds to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

rkjnt@John:8:7 @ But when they continued asking him, he stood up, and said to them, He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to cast a stone at her.

rkjnt@John:8:8 @ And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

rkjnt@John:8:9 @ And when they heard it, they went out one by one, beginning with the eldest: and Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing there.

rkjnt@John:8:10 @ When Jesus stood up, and saw no one but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are your accusers? has no man condemned you?

rkjnt@John:8:11 @ She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more.]

rkjnt@John:8:12 @ Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

rkjnt@John:8:13 @ Therefore, the Pharisees said to him, You bear testimony of yourself; your testimony is not true.

rkjnt@John:8:14 @ Jesus answered and said to them, Though I bear testimony of myself, yet my testimony is true: for I know where I came from, and where I go; but you do not know where I come from, or where I go.

rkjnt@John:8:15 @ You judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

rkjnt@John:8:16 @ And yet if I do judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I am with he who sent me.

rkjnt@John:8:17 @ It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

rkjnt@John:8:18 @ I am one who bears witness of myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness of me.

rkjnt@John:8:19 @ Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, You neither know me, nor my Father: if you had known me, you would have known my Father also.

rkjnt@John:8:20 @ These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour had not yet come.

rkjnt@John:8:21 @ Then Jesus said again to them, I go my way, and you shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: where I go, you cannot come.

rkjnt@John:8:22 @ Then the Jews said, Will he kill himself? because he said, Where I go, you cannot come.

rkjnt@John:8:23 @ And he said to them, You are from below; I am from above: you are of this world; I am not of this world.

rkjnt@John:8:24 @ Therefore I said to you, that you shall die in your sins: for if you do not believe that I am he, you shall die in your sins.

rkjnt@John:8:25 @ Then they said to him, Who are you? And Jesus said to them, That which I have been saying to you from the beginning.

rkjnt@John:8:26 @ I have many things to say and to judge about you: but he who sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard from him.

rkjnt@John:8:27 @ They did not understood that he spoke to them of the Father.

rkjnt@John:8:28 @ Then Jesus said to them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you shall know that I am he, and that I do nothing by myself; but I speak these things as my Father has taught me.

rkjnt@John:8:29 @ And he who sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I always do those things that please him.

rkjnt@John:8:30 @ As he spoke these words, many believed in him.

rkjnt@John:8:31 @ Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him, If you continue in my word, then you are my disciples indeed;

rkjnt@John:8:32 @ And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

rkjnt@John:8:33 @ They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how is it that you say, You shall be made free?

rkjnt@John:8:34 @ Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the slave of sin.

rkjnt@John:8:35 @ And the slave does not abide in the house forever: but the Son abides forever.

rkjnt@John:8:36 @ If the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.

rkjnt@John:8:38 @ I speak that which I have seen in the presence of my Father: and you do that which you have heard from your father.

rkjnt@John:8:39 @ They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

rkjnt@John:8:40 @ But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I have heard from God: this Abraham did not do.

rkjnt@John:8:41 @ You do the deeds of your father. Then they said to him, We are not illegitimate children; we have one Father, even God.

rkjnt@John:8:42 @ Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; for I did not come of my own accord, but he sent me.

rkjnt@John:8:43 @ Why do you not understand my speech? it is because you cannot bear to hear my word.

rkjnt@John:8:44 @ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature: for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

rkjnt@John:8:45 @ And because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me.

rkjnt@John:8:46 @ Which of you convicts me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do you not believe me?

rkjnt@John:8:47 @ He who is of God hears God's words: therefore you do not hear them, because you are not of God.

rkjnt@John:8:48 @ Then the Jews answered and said to him, Do we not rightly say that you are a Samaritan, and have a devil?

rkjnt@John:8:49 @ Jesus answered, I do not have a devil; but I honour my Father, and you dishonour me.

rkjnt@John:8:50 @ I do not seek my own glory: but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge.

rkjnt@John:8:51 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, If anyone keeps my word, he shall never see death.

rkjnt@John:8:52 @ Then the Jews said to him, Now we know that you have a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you say, If anyone keeps my word, he shall never taste of death.

rkjnt@John:8:53 @ Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are also dead: whom do you make yourself out to be?

rkjnt@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:

rkjnt@John:8:56 @ Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

rkjnt@John:8:57 @ Then the Jews said to him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?

rkjnt@John:8:58 @ Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am.

rkjnt@John:8:59 @ Then they took up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

rkjnt@John:9:1 @ And as he passed by, he saw a man who was blind from his birth.

rkjnt@John:9:2 @ And his disciples asked him, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

rkjnt@John:9:3 @ Jesus answered, It was not that this man sinned, or his parents: but it was so the works of God would be made manifest in him.

rkjnt@John:9:4 @ We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work.

rkjnt@John:9:5 @ As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

rkjnt@John:9:6 @ When he had said this, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

rkjnt@John:9:7 @ And said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which means, Sent.) He went his way, and washed, and came back seeing.

rkjnt@John:9:8 @ The neighbours, and those who had seen him before as a beggar, said, Is this not the one who sat and begged?

rkjnt@John:9:9 @ Some said, This is he: others said, No, but he is like him: but he said, I am the one.

rkjnt@John:9:10 @ Therefore they said to him, How were your eyes opened?

rkjnt@John:9:11 @ He answered and said, A man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received my sight.

rkjnt@John:9:12 @ Then they said to him, Where is he? He said, I do not know.

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

rkjnt@John:9:14 @ And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

rkjnt@John:9:15 @ Then again the Pharisees asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.

rkjnt@John:9:16 @ Therefore, some of the Pharisees said, This man is not of God, because he does not keep the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man who is a sinner do such miraculous signs? And there was a division among them.

rkjnt@John:9:17 @ They said to the blind man again, What do you say of him, since he opened your eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

rkjnt@John:9:18 @ But the Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of the one who had received his sight.

rkjnt@John:9:19 @ And they asked them, Is this your son, who you say was born blind? how then does he now see?

rkjnt@John:9:20 @ His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

rkjnt@John:9:21 @ But by what means he now sees, we do not know; or who has opened his eyes, we do not know: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

rkjnt@John:9:22 @ His parents said this because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed him to be the Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

rkjnt@John:9:23 @ Therefore his parents said, He is of age; ask him.

rkjnt@John:9:24 @ Then again they called the man who was blind, and said to him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

rkjnt@John:9:25 @ He answered and said, Whether he is a sinner, I do not know: one thing I do know, that, though I was blind, now I see.

rkjnt@John:9:26 @ Then they said to him again, What did he do to you? how did he open your eyes?

rkjnt@John:9:27 @ He answered them, I have told you already, and you did not listen: why do you want to hear it again? do you also want to be his disciples?

rkjnt@John:9:28 @ Then they reviled him, and said, You are his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.

rkjnt@John:9:29 @ We know that God spoke to Moses: as for this man, we know not where he comes from.

rkjnt@John:9:30 @ The man answered and said to them, Why, this is a marvellous thing; you do not know where he is from, yet he has opened my eyes.

rkjnt@John:9:31 @ Now we know that God does not hear sinners: but if any man is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he hears him.

rkjnt@John:9:32 @ Since the world began it has not been heard that any man opened the eyes of one who was born blind.

rkjnt@John:9:33 @ If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.

rkjnt@John:9:34 @ They answered and said to him, You were born in utter sin, and do you teach us? And they cast him out.

rkjnt@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said to him, Do you believe in the Son of man?

rkjnt@John:9:36 @ He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe in him?

rkjnt@John:9:37 @ And Jesus said to him, You have both seen him, and it is he who talks with you.

rkjnt@John:9:38 @ And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

rkjnt@John:9:40 @ And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words, and said to him, Are we blind also?

rkjnt@John:9:41 @ Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would have no sin: but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains.

rkjnt@John:10:1 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, He who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs in by some other way, he is a thief and a robber.

rkjnt@John:10:2 @ But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

rkjnt@John:10:3 @ To him the gatekeeper opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his sheep by name, and leads them out.

rkjnt@John:10:4 @ And when he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

rkjnt@John:10:5 @ A stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him: for they do not know the voice of strangers.

rkjnt@John:10:6 @ Jesus spoke this parable to them: but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

rkjnt@John:10:7 @ Then Jesus said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

rkjnt@John:10:8 @ All who came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

rkjnt@John:10:9 @ I am the door: if any man enters by me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

rkjnt@John:10:10 @ The thief comes only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I have come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

rkjnt@John:10:11 @ I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

rkjnt@John:10:12 @ But he who is a hireling, and not the shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees: and the wolf attacks them, and scatters the sheep.

rkjnt@John:10:13 @ The hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and does not care for the sheep.

rkjnt@John:10:14 @ I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me,

rkjnt@John:10:15 @ Just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

rkjnt@John:10:16 @ And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold: I must bring them also, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

rkjnt@John:10:17 @ Therefore my Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it up again.

rkjnt@John:10:18 @ No man 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 up again. This commandment I have received from my Father.

rkjnt@John:10:19 @ There was again a division among the Jews because of these words.

rkjnt@John:10:20 @ And many of them said, He has a devil, and is mad; why do you listen to him?

rkjnt@John:10:21 @ Others said, These are not the words of one who has a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

rkjnt@John:10:22 @ And it was the feast of the dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.

rkjnt@John:10:23 @ And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

rkjnt@John:10:24 @ Then the Jews came round about him, and said to him, How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.

rkjnt@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 of me.

rkjnt@John:10:26 @ But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep.

rkjnt@John:10:27 @ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

rkjnt@John:10:28 @ And I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, nor shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

rkjnt@John:10:29 @ My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

rkjnt@John:10:30 @ I and the Father are one.

rkjnt@John:10:31 @ Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

rkjnt@John:10:32 @ Jesus answered them, I have shown you many good works from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me?

rkjnt@John:10:33 @ The Jews answered him, saying, We do not stone you for a good work; but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself out to be God.

rkjnt@John:10:34 @ Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, You are gods?

rkjnt@John:10:35 @ If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

rkjnt@John:10:36 @ Do you say of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of God?

rkjnt@John:10:37 @ If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me.

rkjnt@John:10:38 @ But if I do them, though you do not believe me, believe the works: that you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father.

rkjnt@John:10:39 @ Therefore they sought again to seize him: but he escaped from their hands,

rkjnt@John:10:40 @ And went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John first baptized; and there he abode.

rkjnt@John:10:42 @ And many believed in him there.

rkjnt@John:11:1 @ Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

rkjnt@John:11:2 @ (It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

rkjnt@John:11:3 @ Therefore his sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick.

rkjnt@John:11:4 @ When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified through it.

rkjnt@John:11:5 @ Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

rkjnt@John:11:6 @ Therefore, when he heard that he was sick, he remained for two more days where he was.

rkjnt@John:11:7 @ Then after that he said to his disciples, Let us go to Judaea again.

rkjnt@John:11:8 @ His disciples said to him, Rabbi, the Jews were just recently seeking to stone you; and would you go there again?

rkjnt@John:11:9 @ Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

rkjnt@John:11:10 @ But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him.

rkjnt@John:11:11 @ These things he spoke: and then he said to them, Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go, that I may awaken him.

rkjnt@John:11:12 @ Then his disciples said, Lord, if he is sleeping, he shall recover.

rkjnt@John:11:13 @ Yet Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of natural sleep.

rkjnt@John:11:14 @ Then Jesus said to them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

rkjnt@John:11:15 @ And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him.

rkjnt@John:11:16 @ Then Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

rkjnt@John:11:17 @ When Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

rkjnt@John:11:19 @ And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

rkjnt@John:11:20 @ Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat in the house.

rkjnt@John:11:21 @ Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

rkjnt@John:11:23 @ Jesus said to her, Your brother shall rise again.

rkjnt@John:11:24 @ Martha said to him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection on the last day.

rkjnt@John:11:25 @ Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live:

rkjnt@John:11:27 @ She said to him, Yes, Lord: I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

rkjnt@John:11:28 @ And when she said this, she went her way, and called Mary her sister quietly, saying, The Teacher has come, and is calling for you.

rkjnt@John:11:29 @ As soon as she heard this, she rose quickly, and came to him.

rkjnt@John:11:30 @ Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.

rkjnt@John:11:31 @ When the Jews who were with her in the house, comforting her, saw that Mary rose up hastily and went out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

rkjnt@John:11:32 @ Then when Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

rkjnt@John:11:33 @ Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he was deeply moved, and was troubled,

rkjnt@John:11:34 @ And said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see.

rkjnt@John:11:36 @ Then the Jews said, Behold how he loved him!

rkjnt@John:11:37 @ But some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have kept this man from dying?

rkjnt@John:11:38 @ Jesus, again deeply moved within himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

rkjnt@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, Lord, by this time he stinks: for he has been dead four days.

rkjnt@John:11:40 @ Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you, that, if you would believe, you would see the glory of God?

rkjnt@John:11:41 @ Then they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank you that you have heard me.

rkjnt@John:11:42 @ And I knew that you always hear me: but because of the people who stand here I said it, that they may believe that you have sent me.

rkjnt@John:11:43 @ And when he had said this, he cried out with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

rkjnt@John:11:44 @ And the dead man came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, Unbind him, and let him go.

rkjnt@John:11:45 @ Then many of the Jews who came with Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed in him.

rkjnt@John:11:46 @ But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things Jesus had done.

rkjnt@John:11:47 @ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What should we do? for this man performs many miraculous signs.

rkjnt@John:11:48 @ If we let him go on like this, all men will believe in him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and our nation.

rkjnt@John:11:49 @ And one of them, named Caiaphas, who was the high priest that year, said to them, You know nothing at all,

rkjnt@John:11:50 @ Nor do you consider that it is expedient for you, that one man should die for the people, so that the whole nation should not perish.

rkjnt@John:11:51 @ And this he did not speak of his own accord: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;

rkjnt@John:11:52 @ And not for that nation only, but also that he should gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

rkjnt@John:11:53 @ Then from that day forth they planned together how to put him to death.

rkjnt@John:11:54 @ Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews; but went away from there to a region near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there he stayed with his disciples.

rkjnt@John:11:55 @ And the Jewish passover was near at hand: and many from the country went up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.

rkjnt@John:11:56 @ They sought for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What do you think, that he will not come to the feast?

rkjnt@John:11:57 @ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.

rkjnt@John:12:1 @ Six days before the passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.

rkjnt@John:12:2 @ There they made him a supper; and Martha served: and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him.

rkjnt@John:12:3 @ Then Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

rkjnt@John:12:4 @ Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who would later betray him, said,

rkjnt@John:12:5 @ Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?

rkjnt@John:12:6 @ He said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the money box, and stole what was put in it.

rkjnt@John:12:7 @ Then Jesus said, Let her alone: she has kept it for the day of my burial.

rkjnt@John:12:8 @ For the poor you have with you always; but me you do not always have.

rkjnt@John:12:9 @ Now a large multitude of the Jews learned that he was there: and they came not only because of Jesus, but also that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

rkjnt@John:12:10 @ But the chief priests discussed how they might put Lazarus to death also;

rkjnt@John:12:11 @ Because on account of him many of the Jews went away, and believed in Jesus.

rkjnt@John:12:12 @ On the next day many people who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

rkjnt@John:12:13 @ Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.

rkjnt@John:12:14 @ And Jesus, when he had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,

rkjnt@John:12:16 @ These things his disciples did not understand at first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.

rkjnt@John:12:17 @ Now the people who were with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, kept bearing witness.

rkjnt@John:12:18 @ For this cause also the people went out to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miraculous sign.

rkjnt@John:12:19 @ Therefore the Pharisees said among themselves, You see, you have accomplished nothing: behold, the world has gone after him.

rkjnt@John:12:20 @ And there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast:

rkjnt@John:12:21 @ They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and said to him, Sir, we want to see Jesus.

rkjnt@John:12:22 @ Philip came and told Andrew: then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

rkjnt@John:12:23 @ And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified.

rkjnt@John:12:24 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone: but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit.

rkjnt@John:12:25 @ He who loves his life shall lose it; and he who hates his life in this world shall keep it for life eternal.

rkjnt@John:12:26 @ If any man serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also: if any man serves me, the Father will honour him.

rkjnt@John:12:27 @ Now is my soul troubled; and shall I say, Father, save me from this hour? but it is for this reason that I came to this hour.

rkjnt@John:12:28 @ Father, glorify your name. Then there came a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

rkjnt@John:12:29 @ The crowd that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spoke to him.

rkjnt@John:12:31 @ Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

rkjnt@John:12:32 @ And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.

rkjnt@John:12:33 @ This he said, to signify what sort of death he should die.

rkjnt@John:12:34 @ The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides forever: and how is it that you say, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

rkjnt@John:12:35 @ Then Jesus said to them, Yet for a little while is the light with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you: for he who walks in darkness does not know where he goes.

rkjnt@John:12:36 @ While you have light, believe in the light, that you may be sons of light. These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and hid himself from them.

rkjnt@John:12:37 @ But though he had done so many miraculous signs before them, yet they did not believe in him:

rkjnt@John:12:38 @ That the word spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

rkjnt@John:12:39 @ Therefore they could not believe, because as Isaiah also said,

rkjnt@John:12:40 @ He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, and turn to me, that I should heal them.

rkjnt@John:12:41 @ These things Isaiah said because he saw his glory and spoke of him.

rkjnt@John:12:42 @ Nevertheless, even among the chief rulers, many believed in him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

rkjnt@John:12:43 @ For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

rkjnt@John:12:44 @ Jesus cried out and said, He who believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.

rkjnt@John:12:45 @ And he who sees me sees him who sent me.

rkjnt@John:12:46 @ I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me should not abide in darkness.

rkjnt@John:12:47 @ And if any man hears my words, and does not believe, I do not judge him: for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

rkjnt@John:12:48 @ He who rejects me, and does not receive my words, has one who judges him: the word that I have spoken, that shall judge him on the last day.

rkjnt@John:12:49 @ For I have not spoken of my own accord; but the Father who sent me, he commanded what I should say, and what I should speak.

rkjnt@John:12:50 @ And I know that his commandment is life eternal: therefore, whatever I speak, I speak as the Father has bidden me.

rkjnt@John:13:1 @ Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

rkjnt@John:13:2 @ It was during supper, and the devil had already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Jesus.

rkjnt@John:13:3 @ Knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was returning to God;

rkjnt@John:13:5 @ After that 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.

rkjnt@John:13:6 @ Then he came to Simon Peter: and Peter said to him, Lord, do you wash my feet?

rkjnt@John:13:9 @ Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.

rkjnt@John:13:10 @ Jesus said to him, He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but he is clean all over: and you are clean, but not all of you.

rkjnt@John:13:11 @ For he knew who would betray him; therefore he said, Not all of you are clean.

rkjnt@John:13:12 @ So after he had washed their feet, and had put on his garments, and had taken his place again, he said to them, Do you know what I have done to you?

rkjnt@John:13:13 @ You call me Teacher and Lord: and you say well; for so I am.

rkjnt@John:13:14 @ If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another's feet.

rkjnt@John:13:16 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

rkjnt@John:13:17 @ If you know these things, happy are you if you do them.

rkjnt@John:13:18 @ I do not speak of all of you: I know whom I have chosen: but it is that the scripture may be fulfilled, He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.

rkjnt@John:13:19 @ Now I tell you before it happens, that, when it has come to pass, you may believe that I am he.

rkjnt@John:13:20 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, He who receives whomever I send receives me; and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

rkjnt@John:13:21 @ When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you shall betray me.

rkjnt@John:13:22 @ Then the disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.

rkjnt@John:13:23 @ Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

rkjnt@John:13:24 @ Therefore Simon Peter beckoned to him, that he should ask of whom he spoke.

rkjnt@John:13:25 @ He, lying on Jesus' breast, said to him, Lord, who is it?

rkjnt@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered, It is he to whom I shall give this morsel, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

rkjnt@John:13:27 @ And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, What you do, do quickly.

rkjnt@John:13:28 @ Now no man at the table knew why he spoke this to him.

rkjnt@John:13:29 @ Some of them thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, Buy those things that we need for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.

rkjnt@John:13:30 @ Having received the morsel he went out immediately: and it was night.

rkjnt@John:13:31 @ When he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

rkjnt@John:13:33 @ Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you: Where I go, you cannot come.

rkjnt@John:13:34 @ A new commandment I give to you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, so you also love one another.

rkjnt@John:13:35 @ By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

rkjnt@John:13:36 @ Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus answered him, Where I go, you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow me afterwards.

rkjnt@John:13:38 @ Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for my sake? Truly, truly, I say to you, The cock shall not crow, until you have denied me thrice.

rkjnt@John:14:1 @ Let not your hearts be troubled: believe in God, believe also in me.

rkjnt@John:14:2 @ In my Father's house are many dwelling places: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

rkjnt@John:14:3 @ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

rkjnt@John:14:4 @ And you know the way to the place where I go.

rkjnt@John:14:5 @ Thomas said to him, Lord, we do not know where you are going; so how can we know the way?

rkjnt@John:14:6 @ Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.

rkjnt@John:14:7 @ If you had known me, you would have known my Father also: and from henceforth you know him, and have seen him.

rkjnt@John:14:8 @ Philip said to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it will satisfy us.

rkjnt@John:14:9 @ Jesus said to him, Have I been so long with you, and yet you do not know me, Philip? he who has seen me has seen the Father; and how then do you say, Show us the Father?

rkjnt@John:14:10 @ Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak to you I do not speak of my own accord: but the Father who dwells in me, he does his works.

rkjnt@John:14:11 @ Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me because of the works themselves.

rkjnt@John:14:12 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes in me, the works that I do he shall do also; and he shall do greater works than these; because I go to my Father.

rkjnt@John:14:13 @ And whatever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

rkjnt@John:14:16 @ And I will pray to the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever;

rkjnt@John:14:17 @ That is the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him, neither does it know him: but you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you.

rkjnt@John:14:19 @ Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you shall see me: because I live, you also shall live.

rkjnt@John:14:20 @ On that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

rkjnt@John:14:21 @ He who has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is who loves me: and he who loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

rkjnt@John:14:22 @ Judas, not Iscariot, said to him, Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?

rkjnt@John:14:23 @ Jesus answered and said to him, If a man loves me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.

rkjnt@John:14:24 @ He who does not love me does not keep my words: and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

rkjnt@John:14:25 @ These things I have spoken to you while I am still present with you.

rkjnt@John:14:26 @ But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you.

rkjnt@John:14:27 @ Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

rkjnt@John:14:28 @ You have heard how I said to you, I go away, and come again to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

rkjnt@John:14:29 @ And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that, when it has come to pass, you might believe.

rkjnt@John:14:30 @ Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes; he has no power over me,

rkjnt@John:14:31 @ But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let us go from here.

rkjnt@John:15:1 @ I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.

rkjnt@John:15:2 @ Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

rkjnt@John:15:3 @ Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken to you.

rkjnt@John:15:4 @ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine; neither can you, unless you abide in me.

rkjnt@John:15:5 @ I am the vine, you are the branches: He who abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.

rkjnt@John:15:6 @ If a man does not abide in me, he is thrown away as a branch, and withers; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

rkjnt@John:15:8 @ By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so prove to be my disciples.

rkjnt@John:15:9 @ As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you: abide in my love.

rkjnt@John:15:10 @ If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

rkjnt@John:15:11 @ These things have I spoken to you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

rkjnt@John:15:12 @ This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you.

rkjnt@John:15:15 @ No longer do I call you servants; for the servant does not know what his lord is doing: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

rkjnt@John:15:16 @ You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you to go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: so that whatever you shall ask from the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

rkjnt@John:15:17 @ This I command you, that you love one another.

rkjnt@John:15:18 @ If the world hates you, know that it hated me before it hated you.

rkjnt@John:15:19 @ If you were of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, because I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

rkjnt@John:15:20 @ Remember the word that I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.

rkjnt@John:15:21 @ But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake, because they do not know him who sent me.

rkjnt@John:15:22 @ If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin.

rkjnt@John:15:23 @ He who hates me hates my Father also.

rkjnt@John:15:24 @ If I had not done among them the works which no other man has done, they would not have sin: but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.

rkjnt@John:15:25 @ But this came to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

rkjnt@John:15:26 @ But when the Comforter comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:

rkjnt@John:15:27 @ And you also shall bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.

rkjnt@John:16:1 @ These things have I spoken to you, that you should not stumble.

rkjnt@John:16:2 @ They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time comes when whoever kills you will think that he is serving God.

rkjnt@John:16:3 @ And these things they will do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

rkjnt@John:16:4 @ But these things I have spoken to you, that when the time shall come, you may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.

rkjnt@John:16:5 @ But now I go to him who sent me; and none of you asks me, Where are you going?

rkjnt@John:16:6 @ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

rkjnt@John:16:7 @ Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; It is for your good that I go away: for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send him to you.

rkjnt@John:16:8 @ And when he has come, he will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

rkjnt@John:16:9 @ Of sin, because they do not believe in me;

rkjnt@John:16:10 @ Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you will see me no more;

rkjnt@John:16:11 @ Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

rkjnt@John:16:12 @ I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

rkjnt@John:16:13 @ Yet when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of his own accord; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.

rkjnt@John:16:14 @ He shall glorify me: for he shall take what is mine, and shall show it to you.

rkjnt@John:16:15 @ All things that the Father has are mine: therefore I said that he shall take what is mine, and shall show it to you.

rkjnt@John:16:17 @ Then some of his disciples said among themselves, What is this that he says to us, In a little while you shall not see me: and again, in a little while, you shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?

rkjnt@John:16:18 @ Therefore they said, What is this that he says, A little while? we cannot tell what he is saying.

rkjnt@John:16:19 @ Now Jesus knew that they wanted to question him, and said to them, Do you enquire among yourselves about what I meant when I said, In a little while you shall not see me: and again, in a little while, you shall see me?

rkjnt@John:16:20 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, You shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

rkjnt@John:16:21 @ A woman, when she is in travail, has sorrow, because her hour has come: but as soon as she has delivered the child, she remembers the anguish no more, for joy that a child has been born into the world.

rkjnt@John:16:22 @ So also you have sorrow now: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and no man shall take your joy from you.

rkjnt@John:16:23 @ And in that day you shall ask me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, Whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

rkjnt@John:16:25 @ These things I have spoken to you in parables: but the time comes when I shall no longer speak to you in parables, but I shall tell you plainly of the Father.

rkjnt@John:16:26 @ On that day you shall ask in my name; and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you:

rkjnt@John:16:27 @ For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from the Father.

rkjnt@John:16:28 @ I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

rkjnt@John:16:31 @ Jesus answered them, Do you now believe?

rkjnt@John:16:32 @ Behold, the hour comes, yea, has now come, when you shall be scattered, every man to his own home, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

rkjnt@John:16:33 @ These things I have spoken to you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

rkjnt@John:17:1 @ These words Jesus spoke, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you:

rkjnt@John:17:2 @ Since you have given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as you have given him.

rkjnt@John:17:3 @ And this is life eternal, that they might know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

rkjnt@John:17:4 @ I have glorified you on the earth: I have finished the work which you gave me to do.

rkjnt@John:17:5 @ And now, O Father, glorify me together with you; with the glory which I had with you before the world was.

rkjnt@John:17:6 @ I have manifested your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them to me; and they have kept your word.

rkjnt@John:17:7 @ Now they know that all things that you have given me are from you.

rkjnt@John:17:8 @ For I have given to them the words which you gave me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came from you, and they have believed that you did send me.

rkjnt@John:17:9 @ I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom you have given me; for they are yours.

rkjnt@John:17:10 @ And all mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I am glorified in them.

rkjnt@John:17:11 @ And now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep those whom you have given me in your own name, that they may be one, as we are.

rkjnt@John:17:12 @ While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name: those you gave me I have kept, and none of them has been lost, except the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

rkjnt@John:17:13 @ And now I come to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

rkjnt@John:17:14 @ I have given them your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

rkjnt@John:17:15 @ I do not pray that you would take them out of the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.

rkjnt@John:17:16 @ They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

rkjnt@John:17:17 @ Sanctify them in the truth: your word is truth.

rkjnt@John:17:18 @ As you have sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

rkjnt@John:17:19 @ And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified in the truth.

rkjnt@John:17:20 @ I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who shall believe in me through their word;

rkjnt@John:17:21 @ That they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me.

rkjnt@John:17:22 @ And the glory which you gave me I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

rkjnt@John:17:23 @ I in them, and you in me, that they may be made perfectly one; and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me.

rkjnt@John:17:24 @ Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which you have given me: for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

rkjnt@John:17:25 @ O righteous Father, the world has not known you: but I have known you, and these know that you have sent me.

rkjnt@John:17:26 @ And I have declared to them your name, and will declare it: that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.

rkjnt@John:18:1 @ When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the ravine of the Kedron, to where there was a garden into which he and his disciples entered.

rkjnt@John:18:2 @ And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

rkjnt@John:18:3 @ Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

rkjnt@John:18:4 @ Then Jesus, knowing all that would come upon him, went forth, and said to them, Whom do you seek?

rkjnt@John:18:5 @ They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said to them, I am he. And Judas, who betrayed him, stood with them.

rkjnt@John:18:6 @ As soon as he had said to them, I am he, they drew back, and fell to the ground.

rkjnt@John:18:7 @ Then he asked them again, Whom do you seek? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

rkjnt@John:18:8 @ Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: therefore if you seek me, let these men go their way:

rkjnt@John:18:9 @ This happened so that what he had spoken might be fulfilled, Of those whom you gave me I have lost none.

rkjnt@John:18:10 @ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

rkjnt@John:18:11 @ Then Jesus said to Peter, Put your sword into its sheath: the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?

rkjnt@John:18:12 @ Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

rkjnt@John:18:13 @ And led him first to Annas; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest that year.

rkjnt@John:18:14 @ Now Caiaphas was the one, who gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

rkjnt@John:18:15 @ And Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple: that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the court of the high priest.

rkjnt@John:18:16 @ But Peter stood outside at the door. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.

rkjnt@John:18:17 @ Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, Are you not also one of this man's disciples? He said, I am not.

rkjnt@John:18:18 @ Now the servants and officers who stood there had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

rkjnt@John:18:19 @ The high priest then asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching.

rkjnt@John:18:20 @ Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews all come together; and I said nothing in secret.

rkjnt@John:18:21 @ Why do you ask me? ask those who heard what I spoke to them: they know what I said.

rkjnt@John:18:22 @ And when he had said this, one of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Is that how you answer the high priest?

rkjnt@John:18:23 @ Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why do you strike me?

rkjnt@John:18:24 @ Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

rkjnt@John:18:25 @ And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said to him, Are you not also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.

rkjnt@John:18:26 @ One of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman of the man whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with him?

rkjnt@John:18:27 @ Peter denied it again: and immediately the cock crowed.

rkjnt@John:18:28 @ Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium: and it was early; and they themselves did not go into the praetorium, so they would not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

rkjnt@John:18:29 @ Pilate then went out to them, and said, What accusation do you bring against this man?

rkjnt@John:18:30 @ They answered and said to him, If he were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to you.

rkjnt@John:18:31 @ Then Pilate said to them, You take him and judge him according to your own law. The Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:

rkjnt@John:18:32 @ This was so the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke to signify what kind of death he should die.

rkjnt@John:18:33 @ Then Pilate entered the praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?

rkjnt@John:18:34 @ Jesus answered him, Do you say this of your own accord, or did others tell you of me?

rkjnt@John:18:35 @ Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you up to me: what have you done?

rkjnt@John:18:36 @ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I should not be delivered up to the Jews: but my kingdom is not of this world.

rkjnt@John:18:37 @ So Pilate said to him, You are a king then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause I came into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice.

rkjnt@John:18:38 @ Pilate said to him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, I find no fault in him.

rkjnt@John:18:39 @ But you have a custom, for me to release someone to you at the passover: do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?

rkjnt@John:18:40 @ Then they all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

rkjnt@John:19:1 @ Then Pilate took Jesus, and scourged him.

rkjnt@John:19:2 @ And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

rkjnt@John:19:3 @ And came up to him and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and struck him with their hands.

rkjnt@John:19:4 @ Pilate went forth again, and said to them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that you may know that I find no fault in him.

rkjnt@John:19:5 @ Then Jesus came forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, Behold the man!

rkjnt@John:19:6 @ When the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate said to them, You take him and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.

rkjnt@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself out to be the Son of God.

rkjnt@John:19:8 @ When Pilate heard these words, he was even more afraid;

rkjnt@John:19:9 @ And went again into the praetorium, and said to Jesus, Where are you from? But Jesus gave him no answer.

rkjnt@John:19:10 @ Then Pilate said to him, You do not speak to me? do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?

rkjnt@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered, You would have no power over me unless it was given to you from above: therefore he who delivered me to you has the greater sin.

rkjnt@John:19:12 @ And from then Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar's: whoever makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar.

rkjnt@John:19:13 @ When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

rkjnt@John:19:14 @ And it was the day of preparation for the passover, about the sixth hour: and he said to the Jews, Behold your King!

rkjnt@John:19:15 @ But 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.

rkjnt@John:19:16 @ Then he delivered him to them to be crucified.

rkjnt@John:19:17 @ And they took Jesus and led him away, and he, bearing his cross, went forth to a place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha:

rkjnt@John:19:18 @ Where they crucified him, and two others with him, one on either side and Jesus in the middle.

rkjnt@John:19:19 @ And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

rkjnt@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, and Latin, and Greek.

rkjnt@John:19:21 @ Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

rkjnt@John:19:23 @ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

rkjnt@John:19:24 @ Therefore they said among themselves, Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be. This was so the scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots. Therefore the soldiers did these things.

rkjnt@John:19:25 @ Now by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

rkjnt@John:19:26 @ When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing by, he said to his mother, Woman, behold your son!

rkjnt@John:19:27 @ Then he said to the disciple, Behold your mother! And from that hour that disciple took her into his own home.

rkjnt@John:19:28 @ After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, said in fulfillment of the scripture, I thirst.

rkjnt@John:19:29 @ Now there was a vessel full of vinegar set there: and they soaked a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon a hyssop branch, and held it to his mouth.

rkjnt@John:19:30 @ When Jesus received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

rkjnt@John:19:31 @ Because it was the day of preparation, in order that the bodies would not remain upon the cross during the sabbath day (for that sabbath day was a high day,) the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

rkjnt@John:19:32 @ The soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him.

rkjnt@John:19:33 @ But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they did not break his legs:

rkjnt@John:19:34 @ But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.

rkjnt@John:19:35 @ And he who saw it has borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knows what he says is true, that you also might believe.

rkjnt@John:19:36 @ For these things came to pass that the scripture should be fulfilled, Not one of his bones shall be broken.

rkjnt@John:19:37 @ And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they have pierced.

rkjnt@John:19:38 @ After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, being 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 permission. Therefore he came and took his body.

rkjnt@John:19:40 @ They took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

rkjnt@John:19:41 @ Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been laid.

rkjnt@John:19:42 @ Because of the Jewish day of preparation, as the tomb was near at hand, they laid Jesus there.

rkjnt@John:20:1 @ The first day of the week Mary Magdalene came early, when it was yet dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.

rkjnt@John:20:2 @ Then she ran, and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.

rkjnt@John:20:3 @ Therefore Peter went forth, with the other disciple, toward the tomb.

rkjnt@John:20:4 @ So they both ran together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb.

rkjnt@John:20:5 @ And he stooped down, and looked in, and saw the linen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in.

rkjnt@John:20:6 @ Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb, and saw the linen wrappings lying there,

rkjnt@John:20:7 @ And the cloth, which had been around his head, was not lying with the linen wrappings, but was rolled up in a place by itself.

rkjnt@John:20:8 @ Then the other disciple, who came first to the tomb, went in also and he saw, and believed.

rkjnt@John:20:9 @ For as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

rkjnt@John:20:10 @ Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.

rkjnt@John:20:11 @ But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the tomb,

rkjnt@John:20:12 @ And saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

rkjnt@John:20:13 @ And they said to her, Woman, why do you weep? She said to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.

rkjnt@John:20:14 @ And when she had said this, she turned around, and saw Jesus standing, but did not know that it was Jesus.

rkjnt@John:20:15 @ Jesus said to her, Woman, why do you weep? whom do you seek? She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.

rkjnt@John:20:16 @ Jesus said to her, Mary. She turned, and said to him, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher.

rkjnt@John:20:17 @ Jesus said to her, Do not hold me; for I have not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

rkjnt@John:20:18 @ Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things to her.

rkjnt@John:20:19 @ Then at evening of the same day, the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, Peace be with you.

rkjnt@John:20:20 @ And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.

rkjnt@John:20:21 @ Then Jesus said to them again, Peace be with you: as my Father has sent me, even so I send you.

rkjnt@John:20:22 @ And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit:

rkjnt@John:20:23 @ If you forgive the sins of any one, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any one, they are retained.

rkjnt@John:20:24 @ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

rkjnt@John:20:25 @ The other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I shall see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

rkjnt@John:20:26 @ After eight days his disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them: then Jesus came, though the doors were shut, and stood in their midst, and said, Peace be with you.

rkjnt@John:20:27 @ Then he said to Thomas, Reach here with your finger, and behold my hands; and reach here with your hand, and thrust it into my side: and do not be faithless, but believing.

rkjnt@John:20:30 @ Now Jesus performed many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

rkjnt@John:20:31 @ But these are written, that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you might have life through his name.

rkjnt@John:21:1 @ After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the sea of Tiberias; and he showed himself in this way:

rkjnt@John:21:2 @ Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples were together.

rkjnt@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, I am going fishing. They said to him, We will go with you. They went forth, and entered a boat; but that night they caught nothing.

rkjnt@John:21:4 @ But when the morning was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

rkjnt@John:21:5 @ Then Jesus said to them, Children, have you any fish? They answered him, No.

rkjnt@John:21:6 @ And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you shall find some. Therefore they cast it, and they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.

rkjnt@John:21:7 @ Therefore the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, (for he was stripped for work,) and cast himself into the sea.

rkjnt@John:21:8 @ And the other disciples came in the boat; (for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards,) dragging the net full of fish.

rkjnt@John:21:9 @ As soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

rkjnt@John:21:10 @ Jesus said to them, Bring some of the fish which you have caught.

rkjnt@John:21:11 @ Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, a hundred and fifty-three: and though there were so many, yet the net was not broken.

rkjnt@John:21:12 @ Jesus said to them, Come and have breakfast. And none of the disciples dared ask him, Who are you? knowing that it was the Lord.

rkjnt@John:21:13 @ Then Jesus came, and took bread, and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.

rkjnt@John:21:14 @ This was now the third time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.

rkjnt@John:21:15 @ So when they had eaten, 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.

rkjnt@John:21:16 @ He said to him a second time, Simon, son of John, do you love me? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you know that I love you. He said to him, Tend my sheep.

rkjnt@John:21:17 @ He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, do you love me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Do you love me? And he said to him, Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you. Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep.

rkjnt@John:21:18 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, When you were young, you girded yourself, and walked where you wanted: but when you grow old, you shall stretch forth your hands, and another shall gird you, and carry you where you do not want to go.

rkjnt@John:21:19 @ This he spoke to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he said to him, Follow me.

rkjnt@John:21:20 @ Then Peter, turning about, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following; the one who had leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, who is the one who betrays you?

rkjnt@John:21:23 @ Then this saying went abroad among the brethren, that this disciple should not die: yet Jesus did not said to him, He shall not die; but, If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?

rkjnt@John:21:24 @ This is the disciple who testifies of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

rkjnt@John:21:25 @ And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which, if every one of them were to be written, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

rkjnt@Acts:1:1 @ In my former treatise, O Theophilus, I wrote of all that Jesus began to do and teach,
