bwe@Matthew:1:1 @ Here are the names of the people in the family line from which Jesus Christ came. He came from Davids family. He came from Abrahams family.

bwe@Matthew:1:2 @ Jesus family line: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Perez (his mother was Tamar), Zezron, Ram, Amminadab, Nahshon, Salmon, Boaz (his mother was Rahab), Obed (his mother was Ruth), Jesse, David the king, Solomon (whose mother was Uriahs wife), Rehoboam, Abijah, Asa, Jehoshaphat, Joram, Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, Manasseh, Amon, Josiah, Jeconiah and his brothers (at the time the people of Israel were carried away to Babylon), Shealtiel, Zerubbabel, Abiud, Eliakim, Azor, Zadok, Achim, Eliud, Eleazor, Matthan, Jacob and Joseph who was the husband of Mary. Mary was the mother of Jesus, who is called the Christ.

bwe@Matthew:1:20 @ While he was thinking about this, he had a dream. An angel of the Lord came to him. He said, Joseph, Davids son, do not fear to take Mary to be your wife. Her baby is by the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Matthew:1:22 @ All of this had been told long before by the Lord through his prophet. It came true.

bwe@Matthew:1:24 @ Joseph woke up and did what the angel of the Lord told him to do. He took Mary to be his wife.

bwe@Matthew:2:1 @ Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem, in the country of Judea. Herod was the king. After Jesus was born, wise men came from the east to Jerusalem.

bwe@Matthew:2:2 @ They asked, Where is the child who has been born to be King of the Jews? We saw his star rising and we have come to worship him.

bwe@Matthew:2:4 @ He called all the chief priests and the scribes of the Jews for a meeting. He asked them, Where is the Christ to be born?

bwe@Matthew:2:5 @ They told him, In Bethlehem in Judea. That is what the prophet, the man of God long ago, wrote:

bwe@Matthew:2:6 @ "Bethlehem in the country of Judah, you are not the least among the leaders in Judah. A leader will come from you who will rule over my people Israel."

bwe@Matthew:2:9 @ After they heard what the king said, they went away. And the star, which they had seen rising, went in front of them. It stopped above the place where the child was.

bwe@Matthew:2:13 @ After the wise men had gone, Joseph had a dream. An angel of the Lord came to him and said, Get up. Take the child and his mother, and go quickly to the country of Egypt. Stay there till I tell you, because Herod will try to find the child and kill him.

bwe@Matthew:2:15 @ He stayed there until Herod died. What the Lord told through his prophet long ago, came true. He said I called my son out of Egypt.

bwe@Matthew:2:16 @ Herod saw that the wise men had fooled him. He was very angry. He sent men to kill all the baby boys in the town of Bethlehem and around it. They killed all the boys who were two years old or less. Herod remembered what the wise men had told him about the time they first saw the star.

bwe@Matthew:2:18 @ He said, A voice could be heard in the town of Ramah. Rachel was crying for her children. She would not let anyone comfort her because her children were dead.

bwe@Matthew:2:19 @ Herod died. Then Joseph had a dream. An angel of the Lord came to him in Egypt.

bwe@Matthew:2:20 @ The angel said, Get up. Take the child and his mother and go to the country of Israel. The men who wanted to kill the child are dead.

bwe@Matthew:2:21 @ Joseph woke up. He took the child and his mother and went to the country of Israel.

bwe@Matthew:2:22 @ But he heard that Archelaus was king of Judea in his father Herods place. So he was afraid to go there. In a dream he was told what to do. He went to the country of Galilee.

bwe@Matthew:2:23 @ He went and made his home in the town of Nazareth. The prophets of God long ago had said, He shall be called a man from Nazareth. What they said came true.

bwe@Matthew:3:1 @ After some years had passed, John the Baptizer came and told Gods word in the desert of Judea.

bwe@Matthew:3:2 @ He said, Stop doing wrong things and turn back to God! The kingdom of heaven is almost here.

bwe@Matthew:3:3 @ This is the man that Isaiah the prophet of God spoke about long ago. He said, A man is calling in the wilderness, "Make the way ready for the Lord. Make the road straight for him."

bwe@Matthew:3:4 @ John wore clothes made of camels hair and a leather belt. He ate locusts and wild honey.

bwe@Matthew:3:5 @ People went to him from Jerusalem, from all of Judea, and from all the country near the Jordan River.

bwe@Matthew:3:7 @ Many of the Pharisee group and the Sadducee group came to him to be baptised. But when he saw them, he said to them, You family of snakes! Who told you to run away from Gods anger that is coming?

bwe@Matthew:3:11 @ I baptise you with water when you stop your wrong ways. But another person is coming after me. He is greater than I am. I am not good enough to take off his shoes. He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

bwe@Matthew:3:16 @ After Jesus was baptised, he came up out of the water right away. The sky opened. He saw the Spirit of God coming down on him like a dove.

bwe@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the devil took Jesus to the holy city. He put him on a high part of the temple.

bwe@Matthew:4:6 @ The devil said to him, If you are Gods Son, jump down. The holy writings say, "God will tell his angels to take care of you. They will hold you up in their hands so that you will not knock your foot on a stone."

bwe@Matthew:4:8 @ The devil took Jesus to a very high hill. He showed him all the countries of the world and how great they were.

bwe@Matthew:4:11 @ Then the devil left Jesus. Angels came and took care of him.

bwe@Matthew:4:13 @ He left the town of Nazareth and went to live in the town of Capernaum. It is by the sea (of Galilee) in the district of Zebulun and Naphtali.

bwe@Matthew:4:15 @ He talked about, The country of Zebulun and the country of Naphtali, the road by the sea, the land on the other side of the Jordan River, Galilee where the people are not Jews.

bwe@Matthew:4:16 @ And he said, The people who lived in darkness have seen a great Light. Light has come to those who lived in a land covered by the dark shadow of death.

bwe@Matthew:4:17 @ From then on, Jesus began to tell Gods word to the people. He said, Stop your wrong ways and turn back to God! The kingdom of heaven is here!

bwe@Matthew:4:18 @ Jesus was walking by the sea of Galilee. There he saw two brothers, Simon who later was named Peter, and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a fishing net into the water. Their work was to catch fish.

bwe@Matthew:4:23 @ Jesus went all around through Galilee. He taught people in their meeting houses and told them the good news about the kingdom of heaven. He healed all the sick and weak people.

bwe@Matthew:4:24 @ The people in all the country of Syria heard about him. They brought all who were sick in any way, or had bad spirits in them, and those who could not walk or use their hands. Jesus healed them.

bwe@Matthew:4:25 @ Many people went with him. They came from Galilee, the Ten Towns, Jerusalem, Judea, and from the other side of the Jordan river.

bwe@Matthew:5:3 @ He said, God makes happy those who know that they need him. The kingdom of heaven is for them.

bwe@Matthew:5:10 @ God makes happy those who have trouble for doing what is right. The kingdom of heaven is for them.

bwe@Matthew:5:11 @ God makes you happy when people say wrong things about you, when they trouble you, and when they say all kinds of lies about you. God makes you happy when it is for my sake.

bwe@Matthew:5:17 @ Do not think that I have come to take away the law and the writings of the prophets. No, I have not come to take them away. But I have come to do what they say must be done.

bwe@Matthew:5:18 @ I tell you the truth. Until the sky and the earth are taken away, not one small part of the law will be taken away, until everything has been done.

bwe@Matthew:5:19 @ So anyone who does not obey one of the smallest laws, and teaches other people not to obey it, will have the smallest part in the kingdom of heaven. But any one who obeys and teaches the law, will have a big part in the kingdom of heaven.

bwe@Matthew:5:20 @ I tell you, you must do much better than the scribes and Pharisees. If you do not, then you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.

bwe@Matthew:5:24 @ If so, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First, go to your brother and make things right with him. Then come and give your gift to God.

bwe@Matthew:5:26 @ I tell you the truth, you will not get out of prison until you have paid every piece of money.

bwe@Matthew:5:29 @ If your right eye makes you do wrong, take it out and throw it away. It is better to lose a part of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

bwe@Matthew:5:30 @ If your right hand makes you do wrong, cut it off and throw it away. It is better to lose a part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell fire.

bwe@Matthew:5:34 @ But I tell you, do not make a promise in Gods name. Do not use the name of heaven, because that is where God rules.

bwe@Matthew:5:35 @ Do not use the name of earth, because that is where God rests his feet. Do not use the name of Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.

bwe@Matthew:5:36 @ Do not make a promise by your head, because you cannot make one hair of your head white or black.

bwe@Matthew:5:39 @ But I tell you, do not fight with anyone who does wrong to you. But if someone hits you on one side of your face, turn the other side to him also.

bwe@Matthew:5:45 @ In that way you will be sons of your Father in heaven. He makes his sun shine on both wrong and good people. He lets the rain fall on people who do right and on people who do wrong.

bwe@Matthew:6:2 @ So when you give money to poor people, do not send men in front of you to blow trumpets or horns. Some people do this in the meeting houses and on the streets so that people will praise them. They are not true to themselves. I tell you the truth. They have their pay already.

bwe@Matthew:6:27 @ Can any one of you live any longer by troubling yourself about these things?

bwe@Matthew:6:29 @ I tell you, King Solomon was a great man. But he was not dressed as fine as one of these flowers.

bwe@Matthew:7:3 @ Why do you look at the spot of dust in your brothers eye? But you do not see a big stick in your own eye!

bwe@Matthew:7:4 @ Why do you say to your brother, "Let me take the dust out of your eye"? And all the time you have that stick in your own eye!

bwe@Matthew:7:5 @ You are not true to yourselves! First take the stick out of your own eye. Then you will be able to see to take the dust out of your brothers eye.

bwe@Matthew:7:9 @ If your son asks for bread, will any of you give him a stone?

bwe@Matthew:7:12 @ Do to other people what you want them to do to you. That is what the law and the writings of the prophets say.

bwe@Matthew:7:21 @ Some people say to me, "Lord, Lord". But not all who say that will go into the kingdom of heaven. Only those who do what my Father in heaven wants, will go in.

bwe@Matthew:7:22 @ Many people will say to me on that day, "Lord, Lord, did we not speak in your name? Did we not drive bad spirits out of people in your name? Did we not do big works in your name?"

bwe@Matthew:8:2 @ A man who had leprosy <FI>a bad skin disease<Fi> came and kneeled in front of Jesus and worshipped him. He said to Jesus, Sir, I know you can heal me if you want to.

bwe@Matthew:8:5 @ When Jesus came to the town of Capernaum, a Roman army officer came to ask him for help.

bwe@Matthew:8:6 @ He said, Sir, one of my servants is in bed at my house. He cannot move and has much pain.

bwe@Matthew:8:8 @ The officer said, Sir, I am not good enough to have you come into my house. Just say the word and my servant will be healed.

bwe@Matthew:8:11 @ I tell you, many people will come from the east and from the west. They will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

bwe@Matthew:8:13 @ Jesus said to the officer, Go home. What you have believed, will be done. At that very same time the officers servant was healed.

bwe@Matthew:8:14 @ Jesus went into Peters house. There he saw the mother of Peters wife in bed, sick with fever.

bwe@Matthew:8:15 @ Jesus took hold of her hand and the fever left her. She got up and began to do things for Jesus.

bwe@Matthew:8:18 @ Jesus saw many people around him. So he said, Let us cross over to the other side of the sea.

bwe@Matthew:8:20 @ Jesus said, Foxes have holes to live in. Birds have nests. But the Son of Man has no place to lie down to rest.

bwe@Matthew:8:21 @ Another man who was a follower of Jesus, said to Jesus, Lord, let me go first and bury my father.

bwe@Matthew:8:27 @ The disciples were surprised. They said What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him.

bwe@Matthew:8:28 @ Jesus came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarene people. There were graves in that place. Two men came from among the graves to meet him. They had bad spirits in them. They were so bad and strong that people feared to pass that way.

bwe@Matthew:8:29 @ They shouted, Jesus, Son of God, what do you want to do to us? Have you come here to punish us before it is our time?

bwe@Matthew:8:31 @ The bad spirits begged Jesus, If you drive us out of these men, let us go into the pigs.

bwe@Matthew:8:32 @ Jesus said, Go! The spirits came out of the men and went into the pigs. All the pigs ran fast down the steep hill into the sea. They died in the water.

bwe@Matthew:8:34 @ All the people in the town came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged him to go away out of their country

bwe@Matthew:9:3 @ Some of the scribes were thinking, This man is not giving respect to God.

bwe@Matthew:9:6 @ I want you to know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive wrong things people have done. So he said to the sick man, Get up. Make up your bed and go home.

bwe@Matthew:9:16 @ No one sews a piece of new cloth on an old coat. If he does, the new cloth will tear the old coat. Then the hole is bigger than it was before.

bwe@Matthew:9:18 @ While Jesus was telling them these things, a ruler came to him. He bowed down in front of Jesus to worship him and said, My daughter has just died. But if you will come and put your hand on her, she will live.

bwe@Matthew:9:26 @ People in all that part of the country heard about it.

bwe@Matthew:9:27 @ When Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him. They called out, Son of David, help us!

bwe@Matthew:9:31 @ But they went away and told everybody in that part of the country about him.

bwe@Matthew:9:33 @ Jesus drove the bad spirit out of the man. Then he could talk. The people were very much surprised. They said, Nothing like this has ever been seen in the country of Israel.

bwe@Matthew:9:34 @ But the Pharisees said, He drives bad spirits out of people by the power of the chief of bad spirits.

bwe@Matthew:9:35 @ Jesus went around to all the cities and towns. He taught people in their meeting houses and told them the good news of the kingdom of heaven. He healed all the sick and weak people.

bwe@Matthew:9:38 @ Talk to the Lord of this harvest, and ask him to send out people to his harvest.

bwe@Matthew:10:1 @ Jesus called his twelve disciples to him. He gave them power over bad spirits so they could drive them out of people. He gave them power to heal people who were sick or weak in any way.

bwe@Matthew:10:2 @ The names of the twelve apostles are: Simon, whose other name was Peter, and his brother Andrew, James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose other name was Thaddaeus, Simon, the freedom fighter, and Judas Iscariot, the one who gave Jesus over to people who hated him.

bwe@Matthew:10:5 @ Jesus sent out these twelve. He said to them, Do not go to the people who are not Jews. Do not go to any town of the Samaritan people.

bwe@Matthew:10:6 @ But go to the people of Israel. They are like lost sheep.

bwe@Matthew:10:7 @ As you go, tell people that the kingdom of heaven is here.

bwe@Matthew:10:8 @ Heal sick people. Bring dead people to life. Heal people who have leprosy. Drive bad spirits out of people You got it free, so give it free to others

bwe@Matthew:10:14 @ In some places people will not take you in, or listen to what you say. So when you leave that house or town, shake the dust off your feet.

bwe@Matthew:10:15 @ I tell you the truth. On the day when people are judged, the people from that city will be punished harder than the people from the country of Sodom and Gomorrah.

bwe@Matthew:10:20 @ It is not you who speak. But it is the Spirit of your Father who is speaking through you.

bwe@Matthew:10:23 @ When they trouble you in one town, go to another. I tell you the truth. You will not go to all the towns in Israel before the Son of Man comes.

bwe@Matthew:10:26 @ So do not be afraid of people. Everything that is hidden will be seen. Everything that is hidden will be known.

bwe@Matthew:10:27 @ What I say to you in the dark, tell it in the light. What you hear in secret, shout to others from the tops of the houses.

bwe@Matthew:10:29 @ Are not two sparrows worth only a small amount of money? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father knowing about it.

bwe@Matthew:10:30 @ Even the number of hairs on your head is known.

bwe@Matthew:10:41 @ Anyone who takes in a prophet because he is a prophet of God will get a prophets reward.

bwe@Matthew:10:42 @ And if any one as a disciple gives a drink of cold water to one of my children, he will not lose his reward. I tell you the truth.

bwe@Matthew:11:2 @ John was in prison. He heard what Christ was doing. So he sent two of his disciples to him.

bwe@Matthew:11:9 @ Why did you go out? To see a prophet of God? Yes, I tell you, and he is much more than a prophet.

bwe@Matthew:11:10 @ He is the man the holy writings tell about. "See, I send my messenger ahead of you. He will make the way ready for you."

bwe@Matthew:11:11 @ I tell you the truth. No one has ever been born who is greater than John the Baptizer. And yet the smallest one in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

bwe@Matthew:11:12 @ From the time of John until now, people try hard to break into the kingdom of heaven. And strong people take hold of it.

bwe@Matthew:11:13 @ All the prophets and the books of the law gave Gods word until John came.

bwe@Matthew:11:16 @ What shall I say that the people of today are like? They are like children who sit in the market. They call to the other children.

bwe@Matthew:11:19 @ The Son of Man came. He eats and drinks. People say, "This man eats and drinks too much! He is a friend with tax collectors and bad people!" But a man is proved to be wise by what he has done.

bwe@Matthew:11:20 @ Then Jesus began to talk about the towns where he had done most of his big works. He said hard things about the people, because they did not stop their wrong ways and turn back to God.

bwe@Matthew:11:21 @ He said, Chorazin! You will have trouble! Bethsaida! You will have trouble! If the big works I did in you had been done in the cities of Tyre and Sidon, the people there would have stopped their wrong ways long ago. They would wear the clothes people wear to show they are sad. They would sit in ashes.

bwe@Matthew:11:22 @ But I tell you, on the day when people are judged, you will be punished harder than the people from the cities of Tyre and Sidon.

bwe@Matthew:11:23 @ Capernaum, will you be lifted up to the sky? No, you will go down to death. If the big things I did in you had been done in the city of Sodom, it would be standing now.

bwe@Matthew:11:25 @ Then Jesus said, Father, you are Lord of heaven and earth. I thank you because you have hidden these things from people who are wise and know many things. But you have shown them to people who are like children.

bwe@Matthew:12:1 @ About that time, Jesus was walking through the grain fields on a Sabbath day. His disciples were hungry. They began to pick some of the grain and to eat it.

bwe@Matthew:12:4 @ He went into Gods house. Some bread was there for God. Davids men ate it. David did not have the right to eat it, nor the men who were with him. Only the priests have the right to eat it. But David took the bread and ate it. He also gave some of it to the men who were with him.

bwe@Matthew:12:5 @ Have you never read in the books of the law that the priests in the temple break the Sabbath law on the Sabbath day? They are not punished for it.

bwe@Matthew:12:8 @ The Son of Man rules over the Sabbath day.

bwe@Matthew:12:11 @ Jesus said to them, If one of you had a sheep and it fell into a hole on the Sabbath day, would you not take hold of it and pull it out?

bwe@Matthew:12:17 @ So what Isaiah the prophet of God said, came true.

bwe@Matthew:12:24 @ The Pharisees heard about it. They said, This man drives out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub, the chief of bad spirits.

bwe@Matthew:12:25 @ Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said to them, If one part of any country fights against the other part of the country, that country is broken down. If one part of any city or family fights against the other part of it, it cannot stand.

bwe@Matthew:12:32 @ Anyone who says anything against the Son of Man will be forgiven. But anyone who says anything against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. He will not be forgiven in this world or in the next world.

bwe@Matthew:12:33 @ Either make a tree good and its fruit good, or make a tree bad and its fruit bad. People know what kind of tree it is by the fruit on it.

bwe@Matthew:12:34 @ You family of snakes! How can you say good things? You are wrong! The mouth will say what is in the heart.

bwe@Matthew:12:37 @ Because of your words, you will be called good. Or because of your words, you will be punished.

bwe@Matthew:12:38 @ Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, Teacher, we want you to show us a sign.

bwe@Matthew:12:39 @ But Jesus answered them, The people today are bad. They have gone away from God. They want a sign. No sign will be given them but the sign of the prophet Jonah.

bwe@Matthew:12:40 @ Jonah was inside the big sea animal for three days and three nights. So the Son of Man will be in the ground for three days and three nights.

bwe@Matthew:12:41 @ When people are judged, the men of the city of Nineveh will stand up and speak against the people of today. The people of Nineveh stopped their wrong ways when Jonah told them Gods word. And the one who is here is greater than Jonah.

bwe@Matthew:12:42 @ When people are judged, the Queen of the South will stand up and speak against the people of today. She came a long way to hear the wise talk of Solomon. And the one who is here is greater than Solomon.

bwe@Matthew:12:43 @ When a bad spirit has gone out of a man, he goes through dry places. He looks for a place to rest, but he does not find any.

bwe@Matthew:12:45 @ Then he goes and brings seven other spirits with him. They are worse than he is. They go in and live there. Now the man is worse than he was at first. That is how it will be for the wrong people of today.

bwe@Matthew:13:4 @ As he sowed it, some of the seed fell on the road. Birds came and ate the seed.

bwe@Matthew:13:11 @ Jesus answered them, You can learn the secret things about the kingdom of heaven. But they cannot learn them.

bwe@Matthew:13:15 @ The hearts of these people have no feeling. They do not hear well with their ears. And they have shut their eyes. They do not want to see with their eyes. They do not want to hear with their ears. They do not want to understand in their hearts. They do not want to turn to me. If they did turn, I would heal them."

bwe@Matthew:13:19 @ People listen to the message about the kingdom of heaven. If anyone does not understand it, the devil comes along and takes the message out of his heart. That person is like the seed which fell on the road.

bwe@Matthew:13:21 @ But it does not go down deep in his heart. He believes it for a short time. When trouble or a hard time comes because of the message, he stops believing.

bwe@Matthew:13:22 @ Some seed fell among the weeds. That is like the person who hears the message. But he thinks about the things of this world. He wants to get money to be happy. These things push the message out of his heart. No good comes from it.

bwe@Matthew:13:24 @ Jesus told the people another story. He said, The kingdom of heaven is like this. A man sowed good seed in his field.

bwe@Matthew:13:31 @ Jesus told the people another story. He said, The kingdom of heaven is like this. A man took a mustard seed and planted it in his field.

bwe@Matthew:13:32 @ A mustard seed is the smallest of all seeds. But the plant that grows from it is bigger than other plants. It is like a tree. It is so big that birds come and live in the branches.

bwe@Matthew:13:33 @ Jesus told them another story. He said, The kingdom of heaven is like this. A woman took yeast and mixed it with many cups of flour. The yeast went all through the flour.

bwe@Matthew:13:35 @ What the prophet of God said long ago, came true. He said, I will use stories. I will tell things that have been secret since the world was made.

bwe@Matthew:13:36 @ Then Jesus left the people and went into the house. His disciples came to him. They said, Tell us the meaning of the story about the weeds in the field.

bwe@Matthew:13:37 @ Jesus answered, The person who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

bwe@Matthew:13:39 @ The bad man who planted the weeds is the devil. The harvest time is the end of this world. The men who cut the harvest are angels.

bwe@Matthew:13:40 @ The weeds are gathered and burned in a fire. That is the way it will be at the end of the world.

bwe@Matthew:13:41 @ The Son of Man will send his angels. They will gather everything that is bad and the people who do bad things. They will take them out of his kingdom.

bwe@Matthew:13:44 @ The kingdom of heaven is like this. Something worth a lot of money is buried in a field. A man found it and covered it again. He was so glad that he went and sold everything he had. Then he bought that field.

bwe@Matthew:13:45 @ The kingdom of heaven is like this. A trader was looking for fine stones called pearls.

bwe@Matthew:13:46 @ He found a pearl that was worth a lot of money. Then he went and sold everything he had and bought it.

bwe@Matthew:13:47 @ The kingdom of heaven is like this. A fish net was thrown into the sea. It caught all kinds of fish.

bwe@Matthew:13:49 @ That is the way it will be at the end of the world. The angels will come and take the bad people away from the good people.

bwe@Matthew:13:52 @ Then Jesus said to them, So anyone who knows the law and has learned about the kingdom of heaven, is like the headman of a house. He can bring both new things and old things out of what he has stored up.

bwe@Matthew:14:1 @ At this time Herod the ruler heard of Jesus.

bwe@Matthew:14:3 @ Herod had taken John and tied him up. He put him in prison. He did this because of Herodias. She was the wife of his brother Philip.

bwe@Matthew:14:5 @ Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of the people. They thought John was a prophet, a man of God.

bwe@Matthew:14:6 @ On Herods birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced for the people who were there. She pleased Herod.

bwe@Matthew:14:8 @ The girls mother told her what to ask for. So she said, Give me here, on a plate, the head of John the Baptizer.

bwe@Matthew:14:10 @ He sent someone to the prison to cut off Johns head.

bwe@Matthew:14:14 @ When Jesus got out of the boat, he saw many people. He was sorry for them and he healed those who were sick.

bwe@Matthew:14:17 @ They said, We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish.

bwe@Matthew:14:19 @ Then Jesus told the people to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves of bread and the two fish. He looked up to heaven and thanked God for them. Then he broke the bread and gave it to the disciples. The disciples gave it to the people.

bwe@Matthew:14:20 @ They all ate and had enough. They gathered twelve baskets full of pieces that were left.

bwe@Matthew:14:21 @ The number of men who ate was about five thousand, besides some women and children.

bwe@Matthew:14:22 @ Then Jesus told the disciples, You get into the boat right away and go ahead of me to the other side of the sea. And I will send these people away.

bwe@Matthew:14:29 @ Jesus said, Come. So Peter got out of the boat. He walked on the water and went toward Jesus.

bwe@Matthew:14:31 @ Right away Jesus put out his hand and took hold of him. He said, You do not believe very much in me! Why did you not believe?

bwe@Matthew:14:33 @ Then the men in the boat bowed down in front of Jesus. They said, You really are the Son of God.

bwe@Matthew:15:9 @ They do not mean it in their hearts when they worship me. Their teachings are only the words of men."

bwe@Matthew:15:11 @ What goes into a persons mouth does not make him dirty. But what comes out of a persons mouth makes him dirty.

bwe@Matthew:15:15 @ Peter said to Jesus, Tell us the meaning of that story.

bwe@Matthew:15:17 @ Do you not know this? What goes into the mouth goes into the stomach, and then it goes out of the body.

bwe@Matthew:15:18 @ But what comes out of the mouth, comes from the heart. This is what makes a person dirty.

bwe@Matthew:15:19 @ Here is what comes from the heart: wrong thoughts, killing people, all kinds of adultery, stealing, lying, and saying wrong things about people.

bwe@Matthew:15:21 @ Jesus left that place and went to the country of Tyre and Sidon. 22A woman of the people of Canaan was in that country. She called out, Sir, you are the Son of David. Help me! My daughter is being troubled very much by a bad spirit.

bwe@Matthew:15:23 @ He said, I was sent only to the people of Israel. They are like lost sheep.

bwe@Matthew:15:24 @ But the woman came and bowed down in front of Jesus and worshipped him. She said, Sir, help me.

bwe@Matthew:15:26 @ She answered, Yes, sir. But even the little dogs eat the food that falls from the tables of their masters.

bwe@Matthew:15:28 @ Jesus went on from there along the Sea of Galilee. He went up on a hill and sat down there.

bwe@Matthew:15:29 @ Many people came to him. They brought sick people with them. Some were lame. Some were hurt. Some were blind. Some could not talk. And there were many others. They laid them down in front of Jesus. And he healed them.

bwe@Matthew:15:30 @ The people were surprised. They saw that people who had not been able to talk were talking. They saw that people who were hurt were made well. They saw that lame people were walking. They saw that blind people could see. And they praised the God of Israel.

bwe@Matthew:15:31 @ Jesus called his disciples to him. He said, I share the suffering of the people. They have been with me for three days and they have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry. If they go away hungry, they will get weak and fall on the way.

bwe@Matthew:15:33 @ Jesus said to them, How many loaves of bread have you? They said, We have seven, and a few small fish.

bwe@Matthew:15:35 @ Then he took the seven loaves of bread and the fish. He thanked God for them. Then he broke the bread and gave it to the disciples. The disciples gave it to the people.

bwe@Matthew:15:36 @ They all ate and had enough. They gathered seven baskets full of pieces that were left.

bwe@Matthew:15:37 @ The number of people who ate was about four thousand men, besides some women and children.

bwe@Matthew:16:3 @ In the morning you say, "It will be a stormy day, because the sky is red and there are clouds." You know the meaning of these signs in the sky. But you do not know the meaning of the signs about the time in which we are living.

bwe@Matthew:16:4 @ People today are wrong. They have gone away from God. They want a sign. No sign will be given them but the sign of Jonah. Then Jesus went away and left them.

bwe@Matthew:16:5 @ When the disciples reached the other side of the sea, they found they had forgotten to bring any bread with them.

bwe@Matthew:16:6 @ Jesus said, Watch! Do not let the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees spoil you.

bwe@Matthew:16:9 @ Do you not yet understand? When there were five thousand people, there were only five loaves of bread. Do you not remember how many baskets full of pieces you gathered up?

bwe@Matthew:16:10 @ When there were four thousand people, there were only seven loaves. Do you not remember how many baskets full of pieces you gathered up?

bwe@Matthew:16:11 @ Why do you not understand that I was not talking about bread? Take care. Do not let the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees spoil you.

bwe@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they understood that he was not talking about bread. He did not mean that the yeast of bread would spoil them. They understood that he was talking about the things the Pharisees and Sadducees taught.

bwe@Matthew:16:13 @ Jesus went to the country of Caesarea Philippi. He asked his disciples, I am the Son of Man. Whom do people say I am?

bwe@Matthew:16:14 @ They answered, Some people say you are John the Baptizer. Others say you are Elijah. And others say you are Jeremiah or one of the prophets.

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

bwe@Matthew:16:18 @ I tell you this. You are Peter. On this rock I will build my church. The power of death will not destroy it.

bwe@Matthew:16:19 @ I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. What you tie on earth will be tied in heaven. What you set free on earth will be set free in heaven.

bwe@Matthew:16:27 @ The Son of Man will come with his angels and will be great like his Father. Then he will pay every man for what he has done.

bwe@Matthew:16:28 @ I tell you the truth. Some people are standing here who will not die before they see the Son of Man come in his kingdom.

bwe@Matthew:17:2 @ Jesus was changed in front of them. His face was bright like the sun. His clothes were white, like light.

bwe@Matthew:17:9 @ When they came down the hill, Jesus said to them, Do not tell anyone what you saw. Do not tell it until after the Son of Man has been raised from death.

bwe@Matthew:17:12 @ I tell you that Elijah has come already. The people did not know him. And they did to him just what they wanted to do. So also the Son of Man will be troubled by them.

bwe@Matthew:17:14 @ They came to the people. A man came and kneeled in front of Jesus.

bwe@Matthew:17:15 @ He said, Sir, help my son. A bad spirit is in him and he has much trouble. Often he falls into the fire, and often he falls into the water.

bwe@Matthew:17:18 @ Jesus talked to the bad spirit and he came out of the boy. The boy was healed.

bwe@Matthew:17:21 @ But this kind of bad spirit does not come out of a person unless people ask God and fast <FI>do not eat food for a time<Fi>.

bwe@Matthew:17:22 @ They were travelling in Galilee. Jesus said to his disciples, The Son of Man will be given over to men.

bwe@Matthew:17:27 @ But we must not make them think something wrong about us. So go to the sea. Throw a fish-hook into the water. Take the first fish you catch. Open its mouth and you will see a piece of money. Take it and pay them the tax for you and me.

bwe@Matthew:18:1 @ The disciples came to Jesus at that time. They said, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

bwe@Matthew:18:2 @ Jesus called a child to him. He had the child stand in front of them.

bwe@Matthew:18:3 @ He said, I tell you the truth. If your hearts do not change and become like hearts of children, you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.

bwe@Matthew:18:4 @ So anyone who feels himself small like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

bwe@Matthew:18:6 @ These little children believe in me. If anyone makes one of them do wrong, he will be punished. He will have worse trouble than if a big stone were tied to his neck and he were thrown into the deep sea.

bwe@Matthew:18:8 @ If your hand or your foot makes you do wrong, cut it off and throw it away! It is better for you to enter into life without hands or feet than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into the fire that burns for ever.

bwe@Matthew:18:10 @ Do not think badly of these little children. I tell you this. They have angels in heaven. And all the time their angels can see the face of my father who is in heaven.

bwe@Matthew:18:11 @ The Son of Man came to save anyone who is lost.

bwe@Matthew:18:12 @ What do you think about this? A man has a hundred sheep. One of them is lost. Will he not leave the ninety-nine sheep on the hills and go to look for the one that is lost? Yes, he will.

bwe@Matthew:18:14 @ In the same way, my Father in heaven does not want one of these little children to be lost.

bwe@Matthew:18:19 @ I tell you another thing. If two of you on earth agree together to ask for something, my Father in heaven will do it for them.

bwe@Matthew:18:23 @ In that way the kingdom of heaven is like this. A king was ready to finish his business with his servants.

bwe@Matthew:18:24 @ The first servant was brought in. He owed the king a very large sum of money.

bwe@Matthew:18:26 @ So the servant bowed down in front of him. He begged, "Sir, give me time. I will pay everything."

bwe@Matthew:18:28 @ That same servant went out and met another servant. This man owed him a much smaller sum of money. He caught him by the throat and said, Pay me what you owe me!"

bwe@Matthew:18:29 @ Then this servant bowed down in front of him. He begged, "Give me time. I will pay you."

bwe@Matthew:18:35 @ That is like what my Father in heaven will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.

bwe@Matthew:19:1 @ When Jesus had finished this talk, he left Galilee. He went away to the part of Judea that is on the other side of the Jordan River.

bwe@Matthew:19:5 @ God said, "A man must leave his father and mother and must stay with his wife. The two of them will be like one person."

bwe@Matthew:19:12 @ Some men cannot marry because they were born that way. Some were made that way by men. Others said, "I will not marry, for the sake of the kingdom of heaven." Anyone who can do this, should do it.

bwe@Matthew:19:14 @ But Jesus said, Let the children come to me. Do not try to stop them. The kingdom of heaven belongs to people like them.

bwe@Matthew:19:23 @ Then Jesus said to his disciples, I tell you the truth. It is very hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

bwe@Matthew:19:24 @ And I tell you this also. It is easier for a big animal like a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

bwe@Matthew:19:28 @ Jesus said to them, I tell you the truth. In the new world, the Son of Man will be great. He will sit on his throne of glory <FI>big chair of a king<Fi> to rule. Then you who have come with me will also sit on twelve thrones. You will judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

bwe@Matthew:20:1 @ The kingdom of heaven is like this. A man owned a farm. Early in the morning he went out to look for men to work on his farm.

bwe@Matthew:20:9 @ Each of the men who started work at five oclock was paid a days wages.

bwe@Matthew:20:13 @ But he said to one of them, "My friend, I am not doing any wrong to you. You agreed that I should pay you a days wages. Did you not?

bwe@Matthew:20:18 @ He said to them, We are going to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be given over to the chief priests and scribes. They will judge him and say he must die.

bwe@Matthew:20:19 @ They will give him over to rulers who are not Jews. They will make fun of him. They will beat him and nail him to a cross. On the third day, he will be raised.

bwe@Matthew:20:20 @ Then Zebedees wife came with her sons to Jesus. She bowed down in front of him and asked him to do something for her.

bwe@Matthew:20:28 @ The Son of Man did not come to have others help him. But he came to help others. He came to give his life to make many people free.

bwe@Matthew:20:29 @ As Jesus and the disciples left the city of Jericho, many people followed him.

bwe@Matthew:20:30 @ Two blind men were sitting by the road. They heard that Jesus was passing that way. So they shouted, Sir, you are the Son of David. Help us!

bwe@Matthew:20:31 @ The people said to them, Be quiet! But they shouted louder, Sir, Son of David! Help us!

bwe@Matthew:21:1 @ Jesus and his disciples came near to Jerusalem. They came to the village of Bethphage by the hill called the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus sent two of his disciples ahead.

bwe@Matthew:21:2 @ He said to them, Go into the village in front of you. As soon as you go in, you will find a donkey for riding, and her young one. They are tied there. Untie them and bring them to me.

bwe@Matthew:21:4 @ This happened, and what the prophet of God said long ago, came true.

bwe@Matthew:21:5 @ He said, Tell the people of Zion: See, your king is coming to you. He is not proud. He rides a donkey. It is a young animal.

bwe@Matthew:21:9 @ People in front of him and people behind him shouted, Praise the Son of David! God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord! Praise him in heaven!

bwe@Matthew:21:11 @ The people who were with Jesus said, This is Jesus from the town of Nazareth in Galilee. He is a prophet.

bwe@Matthew:21:12 @ Jesus went into the temple of God. He drove out all the people who were buying and selling in the temple. He threw down the tables of the money changers. He pushed down the seats of those who sold doves.

bwe@Matthew:21:15 @ The chief priests and the scribes saw the big works that Jesus did. They saw the children calling out in the temple, God save the Son of David! They were angry.

bwe@Matthew:21:16 @ They asked Jesus, Do you hear what they are saying? Jesus answered, Yes. Have you never read this? "You like the praise of children and babies."

bwe@Matthew:21:17 @ Then he left them and went out of the city to Bethany. He stayed there for the night.

bwe@Matthew:21:23 @ He came to the temple and went in and taught the people. The chief priests and the leaders of the people came to him. They asked, What right have you to do these things? Who gave you the right to do them?

bwe@Matthew:21:31 @ Which of the two sons did what his father wanted him to do? They said, The first one. Then Jesus said, I tell you the truth. The tax collectors and women who commit adultery by selling their bodies, are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.

bwe@Matthew:21:33 @ Listen to another story. A man planted a farm of vines for growing fruit called grapes. He put a fence of small trees around it. He dug a place to press the juice from the fruit. He built a high house from which men could watch over the farm. He let some men pay to use it. Then he went to a country far away.

bwe@Matthew:21:34 @ When it was near the time to cut the fruit, he sent his servants to those men. He wanted to have some of the fruit.

bwe@Matthew:21:35 @ The men caught the servants. They beat one of them and killed another one of them. They threw stones at another one.

bwe@Matthew:21:37 @ Last of all he sent his son to them. He said, "They will respect my son."

bwe@Matthew:21:39 @ They caught him, dragged him off the farm, and killed him.

bwe@Matthew:21:40 @ When the owner of the farm comes, what will he do to those men?

bwe@Matthew:21:43 @ So I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you. It will be given to the people who do what they should do in it.

bwe@Matthew:22:2 @ He said, The kingdom of heaven is like this. A king made a wedding for his son.

bwe@Matthew:22:10 @ So those servants went out on the roads. They brought all the people they could find, both bad and good people. Then the room was full of people for the wedding.

bwe@Matthew:22:16 @ They sent their disciples to him with some of Herods people. They said, Teacher, we know that you are true. We know that you teach the true way of God. You do not fear any person, or care how great he is.

bwe@Matthew:22:19 @ Show me a piece of money used for tax. They brought him a piece of money.

bwe@Matthew:22:23 @ The same day some of the Sadducees came to Jesus. They say that people do not rise from death.

bwe@Matthew:22:26 @ The same thing happened to the second brother, and the third one, and all seven of them.

bwe@Matthew:22:27 @ Last of all, the woman died.

bwe@Matthew:22:28 @ Now then, when people rise from death, which of the seven brothers will have her for his wife? They all married her.

bwe@Matthew:22:32 @ He said, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." He is not the God of dead people, but of living people.

bwe@Matthew:22:35 @ One of them was a man who taught Gods law. He asked Jesus a question to try him out.

bwe@Matthew:22:36 @ Teacher, he said, which law is the greatest law of all?

bwe@Matthew:22:39 @ The second law of God is like it. "Love your neighbour as you love yourself."

bwe@Matthew:22:40 @ All that is written in the books of the law and the books of the prophets is about these two laws.

bwe@Matthew:23:13 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You are not true to yourselves! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven so people cannot go in. You yourselves do not go in, and you stop those who were going in.

bwe@Matthew:23:14 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You take away the homes of women whose husbands are dead. You cover up your wrong ways by talking big to God for a long time. Because of that, you will be punished harder.

bwe@Matthew:23:16 @ You blind leaders will have trouble. You say that if anyone makes a promise in the name of the temple, he does not have to keep that promise. But if anyone makes a promise in the name of the gold on the temple, he must keep that promise.

bwe@Matthew:23:18 @ And you say that if anyone makes a promise in the name of Gods altar, he does not have to keep that promise. But if anyone makes a promise in the name of the sacrifice, he must keep that promise.

bwe@Matthew:23:23 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You give God a tenth part of small garden plants. But you have not done those bigger matters of the law. You have not judged in the right way. You have not been kind. You have not believed God. You should be doing these things and the other things too.

bwe@Matthew:23:24 @ You blind leaders! You take a fly out of your cup, but you drink down a big animal like a camel!

bwe@Matthew:23:25 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You wash the outside of a cup and a dish clean. But inside they are full of greed and wrong ways!

bwe@Matthew:23:26 @ You blind Pharisees! First clean the inside of the cup and the dish so that the outside will be clean too.

bwe@Matthew:23:27 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You are like graves that have been painted white. Outside they look very nice. But inside they are full of dead mens bones and all kinds of dirt.

bwe@Matthew:23:28 @ So it is with you. You look right on the outside. But inside you are full of lies and wrong ways.

bwe@Matthew:23:29 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You build places to bury the prophets and fix up graves of good men.

bwe@Matthew:23:30 @ You say, "If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have helped to kill the prophets of God."

bwe@Matthew:23:31 @ So you prove that you are the sons of the men who killed the prophets.

bwe@Matthew:23:33 @ You snakes-a whole family of snakes! You cannot get away! You will be judged and sent to hell.

bwe@Matthew:23:34 @ That is why I send you prophets, wise men, and teachers. You will kill some of them and nail them to a cross. And you will beat some of them in your meeting houses and trouble them from one town to another.

bwe@Matthew:23:35 @ So you will be punished for all the blood of every good man that is on the ground. I mean all the blood from the time of Abel, who was a good man, to Zechariah, the son of Barachiah. You killed him between the temple and Gods altar.

bwe@Matthew:23:37 @ Jerusalem! Jerusalem! You kill the prophets. You throw stones to kill the men who are sent to you! How often I have wanted to gather your people together, as a mother hen gathers her little ones under her wings. But you would not come!

bwe@Matthew:23:39 @ I tell you this. You will not see me again until the time when you say, "God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord."

bwe@Matthew:24:1 @ Jesus left the temple and was going away. His disciples came to him. They wanted to show him the different buildings that were a part of the temple.

bwe@Matthew:24:2 @ But Jesus answered them, Do you see these buildings? I tell you the truth. Not one stone here will be left on top of another stone. They will all be thrown down!

bwe@Matthew:24:3 @ Jesus was sitting on the hill called the Mount of Olives. The disciples came to him alone. They said, Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign to show you are coming and that it is the end of this world?

bwe@Matthew:24:8 @ All these troubles are only the beginning of troubles that will come.

bwe@Matthew:24:11 @ Many people will come and say they are prophets of God. But they will not be true. They will fool many people.

bwe@Matthew:24:17 @ A person who is on the top of a house must not go down into the house to get things from the house.

bwe@Matthew:24:20 @ Ask God that you may not have to go in the cold time of the year or on the Sabbath day.

bwe@Matthew:24:22 @ No person would be saved if the Lord did not cut the time of trouble shorter. He will cut it shorter for the sake of his chosen people.

bwe@Matthew:24:27 @ When lightning shines in the east, it can be seen in the west. It will be like that when the Son of Man comes.

bwe@Matthew:24:29 @ Right after that time of trouble, the sun will be dark. The moon will not shine. The stars will fall from the sky. And the powers in the sky will be shaken.

bwe@Matthew:24:30 @ Then people will see the sign of the Son of Man in the sky. Then all the people of the earth will cry. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds in the sky. He will have much power and will be very great.

bwe@Matthew:24:32 @ Learn a lesson from the fig tree. As soon as its branches begin to grow and the leaves come, then you know it will soon be the warm time of the year.

bwe@Matthew:24:36 @ But no one knows the day and the hour when the Son of Man will come. Even the angels in heaven and the Son do not know. Only the Father knows.

bwe@Matthew:24:37 @ When the Son of Man comes, it will be as it was in the time of Noah.

bwe@Matthew:24:39 @ The people did not know until much water came and killed them all. When the Son of Man comes, it will be like that.

bwe@Matthew:24:43 @ And remember this. The owner of the house does not know at what time of the night a man will come to steal something. If he knew, he would watch and not let the man break into his house.

bwe@Matthew:24:44 @ So, be ready! The Son of Man will come at a time when you are not looking for him.

bwe@Matthew:24:45 @ Who is like a wise servant who can be trusted? His master will put him in charge of his other servants. He gives them their food at the right time.

bwe@Matthew:24:47 @ I tell you the truth. His master will put him in charge of all that he has.

bwe@Matthew:24:50 @ The master of that servant will come on a day the servant is not looking for him. He will not know the time he is coming home.

bwe@Matthew:25:1 @ Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten young women took their lamps and went to meet a man who was being married.

bwe@Matthew:25:2 @ Five of them were foolish and five of them were wise.

bwe@Matthew:25:4 @ The wise ones took bottles of oil with their lamps.

bwe@Matthew:25:8 @ The foolish ones said to the wise ones, "Give us some of your oil. The light in our lamps is dying."

bwe@Matthew:25:14 @ The kingdom of heaven will be like the time a man went to a country far away. He called his servants and put them in charge of his money.

bwe@Matthew:25:15 @ He gave five bags of money to one servant. He gave two bags of money to another servant. He gave one bag of money to another servant. He gave to each one what he was able to be in charge of. Then he went away.

bwe@Matthew:25:16 @ Right away the servant who had five bags of money began to buy and sell things with it. He made five bags of money more than he had at first.

bwe@Matthew:25:17 @ The servant who had two bags of money did the same thing as the one who had five bags. He also made two bags of money more than he had at first.

bwe@Matthew:25:18 @ But the man who had only one bag of money dug a hole in the ground. And he hid his masters money in the ground.

bwe@Matthew:25:19 @ After a long time, the master of those servants came home. He asked what they had done with his money.

bwe@Matthew:25:20 @ The servant who had been given five bags of money brought five bags more to his master. He said, "Sir, you gave me five bags of money. See, I have made five bags more money."

bwe@Matthew:25:21 @ His master said, "You have done well. You are a good servant. I can trust you. You have taken good care of a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Come, have a good time with your master."

bwe@Matthew:25:22 @ The servant who had been given two bags of money came and said to his master, "Sir, you gave me two bags of money. I have made two bags more money."

bwe@Matthew:25:23 @ His master said, "You have done well. You are a good servant. I can trust you. You have taken good care of a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Come, have a good time with your master."

bwe@Matthew:25:24 @ The servant who had been given one bag of money came and said, "Sir, I knew that you were a hard man. You cut grain where you did not plant. You pick fruit where you put nothing in.

bwe@Matthew:25:31 @ The Son of Man will be great and will come with all his holy angels. Then he will sit on his throne like a king.

bwe@Matthew:25:32 @ All the nations will be gathered in front of him. He will put them in two groups like a man who takes care of sheep. He puts the sheep on one side of him and he puts the goats on the other side of him.

bwe@Matthew:25:33 @ The Son of Man will put people who are like the sheep at his right side. He will put people who are like the goats at his left side.

bwe@Matthew:25:40 @ The King will answer them, "I tell you the truth. What you did for even the smallest of these people you did for me. They are my brothers."

bwe@Matthew:25:45 @ Then the King will answer them, "I tell you the truth. What you did not do for even the smallest of these, you did not do for me."

bwe@Matthew:26:2 @ He said, You know that after two days it will be time for the Passover Feast. The Son of Man will be given over to his enemies to be nailed to a cross.

bwe@Matthew:26:3 @ Then at that time the chief priests and the leaders of the people met together in the house of the high priest. His name was Caiaphas.

bwe@Matthew:26:5 @ But they said, Let us not do it on the day of the feast. We do not want the people to start fighting about it.

bwe@Matthew:26:6 @ When Jesus was in the town of Bethany, he was in the house of Simon, a man who had leprosy, a bad skin disease.

bwe@Matthew:26:7 @ While Jesus sat at the table, a woman came to him. She had a bottle of oil. It smelled very nice and cost much money. She put the oil on Jesus head.

bwe@Matthew:26:13 @ I tell you the truth. Any place in the whole world where people tell the good news, people will also tell what she has done. People will remember her because of it.

bwe@Matthew:26:14 @ Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, went to the chief priests.

bwe@Matthew:26:15 @ He said, What will you give me if I help you catch Jesus? They gave him thirty pieces of silver money.

bwe@Matthew:26:17 @ It was the first day of the feast with bread that has no yeast in it. The disciples came to Jesus and asked, Where do you want us to make ready for you to eat the Passover Feast?

bwe@Matthew:26:21 @ As they were eating, Jesus said, I tell you the truth. One of you will give me over to people who hate me.

bwe@Matthew:26:24 @ The Son of Man will go away just as the holy writings tell about him. But the man who gives him over will have trouble. It would have been better for that man if he had not been born!

bwe@Matthew:26:27 @ He also took a cup. He thanked God for it. Then he gave it to the disciples and said, All of you drink from this.

bwe@Matthew:26:28 @ This is my blood. My blood is the blood of the new agreement. It is given so that many people will be forgiven for the wrong things they did.

bwe@Matthew:26:29 @ I tell you this. I will not drink any of the juice of the fruit of the vine again, until I drink some of it new with you in my Fathers kingdom.

bwe@Matthew:26:30 @ They sang a song and then went out to the hill called the Mount of Olives.

bwe@Matthew:26:31 @ Then Jesus said to them, All of you will leave me this night. The holy writings say, "I will kill the one who takes care of the sheep. And the sheep will run away."

bwe@Matthew:26:39 @ Jesus went on a little further. He bowed down with his face to the ground. He talked to God and said, My Father, if it can be, let this cup of trouble pass by me. But do not do what I want. May what you want be done.

bwe@Matthew:26:45 @ Then he went back to his disciples and said to them, Are you still sleeping and resting? The time has come now. The Son of Man is given over to bad people.

bwe@Matthew:26:47 @ As Jesus was saying this, Judas came. He was one of the twelve disciples. Many people came with him. They had long knives or swords and big sticks. The chief priests and the leaders of the people had sent them.

bwe@Matthew:26:51 @ One of the men who was with Jesus took his sword in his hand. He hit the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.

bwe@Matthew:26:53 @ Do you think that I cannot talk to my Father, and he would send me right now more than twelve armies of angels?

bwe@Matthew:26:58 @ Peter followed Jesus a long way behind. He went as far as the yard of the high priests house. He sat down with the people who worked for the high priest. He wanted to see how this would end.

bwe@Matthew:26:59 @ The chief priests and all the judges of the court tried to find men to say Jesus had done something wrong so they could kill him.

bwe@Matthew:26:63 @ But Jesus said nothing at all. Then the high priest said to him, I ask you in the name of the living God. Tell us. Are you the Christ, the Son of God?

bwe@Matthew:26:64 @ Jesus answered him, Yes, I am. Also I tell you that after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the One who has all power. You will see him coming on the clouds in the sky!

bwe@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, What he has said is wrong! We do not need any more proof against him. You have heard the wrong thing he said.

bwe@Matthew:26:69 @ Peter sat out in the yard. A servant girl came to him and said, You were also with Jesus of Galilee.

bwe@Matthew:26:70 @ But Peter said in front of them all, I do not know what you are talking about.

bwe@Matthew:26:71 @ Peter went out to the gate. There, another servant-girl saw him. She said to the others around there, This man was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

bwe@Matthew:26:73 @ A little later, those standing around came to Peter and said, Surely you are one of them also. We know it by the way you talk.

bwe@Matthew:27:1 @ When it was morning, all the chief priests and the leaders of the people made a plan against Jesus. They wanted to kill him.

bwe@Matthew:27:3 @ Judas was the man who helped them take Jesus. He saw that they had judged Jesus and were going to kill him. He was sorry for what he had done, so he brought the thirty pieces of silver money back to the chief priests and leaders.

bwe@Matthew:27:6 @ The chief priests took the money. They said, It is not right to put this money in the money box of the temple. It has been used to buy a mans death.

bwe@Matthew:27:8 @ That is why that field has been called The field of blood until now.

bwe@Matthew:27:9 @ What Jeremiah the prophet said long ago, then came true at that time. He said, They took thirty pieces of silver money. That is what the people of Israel said he was worth.

bwe@Matthew:27:11 @ Jesus stood before the ruler. The ruler asked him, Are you the King of the Jews? Jesus said, Yes, I am.

bwe@Matthew:27:21 @ The ruler said to the people, Which of these two do you want me to let go free for you? They said, Barabbas.

bwe@Matthew:27:24 @ Pilate saw that he was not doing any good. And the people were making a lot of loud noise. So he washed his hands in water in front of the people. Then he said, I will not say this man must be killed. You must do that.

bwe@Matthew:27:28 @ They took off his clothes, and they put a red gown on him.

bwe@Matthew:27:29 @ They made a big ring of thorns like a crown and put it on his head. They put a stick in his right hand. Then they kneeled down in front of him and made fun of him. They shouted, Greetings, King of the Jews!

bwe@Matthew:27:31 @ After they had made fun of him, they took off the red gown. They put his own clothes on him. Then they took him away to nail him to a cross.

bwe@Matthew:27:32 @ As they were going, they met a man named Simon. He was born in the country of Cyrene. They made him carry Jesus cross.

bwe@Matthew:27:33 @ They came to a place called Golgotha. That means, The place of a head bone.

bwe@Matthew:27:37 @ They put the complaint against Jesus above his head. These words were written there: This is Jesus the King of the Jews.

bwe@Matthew:27:38 @ Two bad men were also nailed to crosses. They had stolen money. One man was put on the right side of Jesus and one was put on the left side of him.

bwe@Matthew:27:41 @ The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders also made fun of him.

bwe@Matthew:27:42 @ They said, He saved other people but he cannot save himself! If he is the King of the people of Israel, he should come down from the cross now. Then we will believe in him.

bwe@Matthew:27:47 @ Some of the people standing there heard what Jesus said. They said This man is calling for Elijah.

bwe@Matthew:27:48 @ Right away, one of them ran to get something called a sponge. He made it wet with sour wine and put it on the end of a stick. With it he gave Jesus a drink.

bwe@Matthew:27:52 @ The graves opened. Many of Gods people who had died rose from death.

bwe@Matthew:27:53 @ They came out of their graves after Jesus rose from death. They went into Jerusalem. Many people saw them there.

bwe@Matthew:27:54 @ The Roman captain and some of his soldiers were guarding Jesus on the cross. When they saw the earth shake and the other things happen, they were very much afraid. They said, Surely this man was Gods Son.

bwe@Matthew:27:56 @ Among these women were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedees sons.

bwe@Matthew:27:57 @ In the evening, a rich man came. He was Joseph from the town of Arimathea. He also believed in Jesus.

bwe@Matthew:27:58 @ He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate said that it should be given to him.

bwe@Matthew:28:1 @ The Sabbath day was past. Morning light was beginning to shine on the first day of the week. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the grave.

bwe@Matthew:28:2 @ The earth shook very much because an angel of the Lord came down from heaven. He came and rolled the big stone away from the grave and sat on it.

bwe@Matthew:28:9 @ As they were going, Jesus met them. He said Greetings! The women bowed down in front of him and put their hands on his feet.

bwe@Matthew:28:11 @ While the women were going, some of the soldiers who had guarded the grave came into the city. They told the chief priests all that had happened.

bwe@Matthew:28:12 @ The chief priests had a meeting with the leaders of the people and talked the matter over. They gave much money to the soldiers.

bwe@Matthew:28:15 @ The soldiers took the money. They did as they were told to do. And even to this day, many of the Jewish leaders say this is what happened to Jesus.

bwe@Matthew:28:17 @ When they saw him, they bowed down in front of him. But some people were not sure.

bwe@Matthew:28:19 @ So go and make disciples in all countries. Baptise them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Matthew:28:20 @ Teach them to do all the things I have told you to do. I am with you always, even to the end of time.

bwe@Mark:1:1 @ This is the beginning of the good news about Jesus Christ, Gods Son.

bwe@Mark:1:2 @ The men of God, called prophets, long ago wrote about it this way: God said, See, I send my man ahead of you to tell about you. He will make the way ready for you.

bwe@Mark:1:5 @ People from all the land of Judea and all the city of Jerusalem went out to John. He baptised them in the Jordan River when they told about the wrong things they did.

bwe@Mark:1:6 @ John wore clothes made of camels hair and a leather belt. He ate locusts and wild honey.

bwe@Mark:1:9 @ At that time Jesus came from the town of Nazareth in the country of Galilee. John baptised him in the Jordan River.

bwe@Mark:1:10 @ As soon as he came up out of the water, Jesus saw the sky open. He saw Gods Holy Spirit come down on him like a bird called a dove.

bwe@Mark:1:13 @ Jesus was in the desert for forty days. All that time Satan tried to make Jesus do wrong. Jesus was with wild animals. Angels came and took care of him.

bwe@Mark:1:14 @ John was put in prison. Then Jesus went to Galilee. He told people the good news of Gods kingdom.

bwe@Mark:1:15 @ The time has come, he said. The kingdom of God is here. Stop your wrong ways, turn back to God and believe the good news.

bwe@Mark:1:16 @ Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee. There he saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a fishing net into the water. Their work was to catch fish.

bwe@Mark:1:21 @ They went to the town of Capernaum. As soon as it was the Sabbath day, Jesus went into their meeting house and taught the people.

bwe@Mark:1:24 @ He called out, Jesus of Nazareth, what do you want to do to us? Have you come to kill us? I know who you are. You are the Holy One of God.

bwe@Mark:1:25 @ Jesus said to the spirit, Be quiet! Come out of him!

bwe@Mark:1:26 @ The bad spirit threw the man around. It called out loud and then it came out of the man.

bwe@Mark:1:29 @ As soon as they came out of the meeting house, they went to the home of Simon and Andrew. James and John went also.

bwe@Mark:1:34 @ He healed many sick people. He drove the bad spirits out of people. And he did not let them speak because they knew who he was.

bwe@Mark:1:39 @ Then Jesus talked to the people in all the meeting houses in all the country of Galilee. He also made the bad spirits come out of people.

bwe@Mark:2:4 @ But they could not get in the house where Jesus was, because there were so many people. So they went up on the roof. They made a hole in the roof. Then they let down the mat with the sick man on it.

bwe@Mark:2:6 @ Some of the scribes were sitting there.

bwe@Mark:2:10 @ I want you to know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive the wrong things people do. So he said to the sick man,

bwe@Mark:2:12 @ Right away the man stood up in front of them. He took up his mat and went home. They were all very much surprised, and they praised God. They said, We have never seen anything like this before.

bwe@Mark:2:14 @ As he went along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus. He was sitting at the place where people come to pay taxes. Jesus said to him, Come with me. Levi stood up and went with him.

bwe@Mark:2:18 @ Johns disciples and the Pharisees disciples were fasting <FI>not eating food for a time<Fi>. Some people came to Jesus and said, The disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast. Why do your disciples not do the same?

bwe@Mark:2:21 @ No person sews a piece of new cloth on an old coat. If he does, the new cloth will tear the old coat. Then the hole is bigger than it was before.

bwe@Mark:2:23 @ Jesus was walking through the grainfields on the Sabbath day. His disciples began to pick some of the seed (to eat) as they went along.

bwe@Mark:2:26 @ He went into Gods house when Abiathar was the high priest. Some bread was there for God. It was not right for them to eat it. Only the priests have the right to eat it. But David took the bread and ate it. He also gave some of it to the people who were with him.

bwe@Mark:2:27 @ Jesus went on to say, The Sabbath was made for the good of man. Man was not made for the Sabbath.

bwe@Mark:2:28 @ So the Son of Man rules over the Sabbath day.

bwe@Mark:3:6 @ The Pharisees went out. Right away they and the servants of King Herod planned together how to kill Jesus.

bwe@Mark:3:8 @ Jesus and his disciples went away to the sea of Galilee. Many people went with Jesus. They came from Galilee, Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and from the other side of the Jordan River. And many more people came also, a great many from around the cities of Tyre and Sidon. They also had heard about the great works that Jesus had done.

bwe@Mark:3:13 @ Then Jesus went up on the hill. He wanted some of the people to come with him. So he called them and they came.

bwe@Mark:3:15 @ He gave them power to heal people and to drive bad spirits out of people.

bwe@Mark:3:16 @ One of the twelve was Simon, whom Jesus called Peter.

bwe@Mark:3:17 @ He also chose James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee, whom he named Boanerges, which means "Men of Thunder."

bwe@Mark:3:19 @ He also chose Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon of Canan, and Judas Iscariot, the one who gave Jesus over to people who hated him. Then Jesus and his disciples went home.

bwe@Mark:3:22 @ The scribes who came from Jerusalem also talked about Jesus. They said, Beelzebub, the chief of bad spirits, is in this man. He drives out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub.

bwe@Mark:3:24 @ If one part of a country fights against another part of the country, that country cannot be strong.

bwe@Mark:3:25 @ If one part of a family fights against the other part of the family, it cannot stand.

bwe@Mark:3:26 @ If Satan fights against himself and the bad spirits fight against each other, he cannot stand. It will be the end of him.

bwe@Mark:4:4 @ As he sowed it, some of the seed fell on the road. Birds came and ate the seed.

bwe@Mark:4:11 @ He said to them, You can learn the secret things about the kingdom of God. But we must use stories to tell the other people.

bwe@Mark:4:15 @ Those beside the road are like people who hear the message. But as soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes it out of their hearts

bwe@Mark:4:17 @ They believe it for a short time. When trouble or a hard time comes because of the message, they stop believing.

bwe@Mark:4:19 @ But they think about the things of this world. They want to get money and other things to be happy. These things push the message out of their hearts. No good comes from it.

bwe@Mark:4:26 @ And Jesus said, The kingdom of God is like this. A man sows some seed in the ground.

bwe@Mark:4:28 @ The ground itself makes the seed grow. First the plant comes up. Then it begins to have seed of its own. After a while the harvest is ready.

bwe@Mark:4:30 @ And Jesus said, What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I say it is like?

bwe@Mark:4:33 @ Jesus told the people many stories like this. He told them as much of Gods words as they were able to understand.

bwe@Mark:4:34 @ He did not tell them anything without a story. When he was alone with his disciples, he told them the meaning of the stories.

bwe@Mark:4:35 @ In the evening of that day, Jesus said to his disciples, Let us cross over to the other side of the sea.

bwe@Mark:4:38 @ Jesus was in the back end of the boat, sleeping with his head on a pillow. The disciples woke him up. Master, they shouted. We will die! Do you not care?

bwe@Mark:4:41 @ The disciples were surprised. They said to each other, What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the sea obey him.

bwe@Mark:5:1 @ They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarene people.

bwe@Mark:5:2 @ There were graves in that place. As soon as Jesus came out of the boat, a man came from among the graves to meet him. The man had a bad spirit in him.

bwe@Mark:5:6 @ Jesus was still far from him, but when he saw Jesus he ran to him. He kneeled down in front of Jesus and worshipped him.

bwe@Mark:5:7 @ He called out loud, Jesus, Son of the High God, what are you going to do to me? I beg you not to hurt me.

bwe@Mark:5:8 @ He said this because Jesus had said to him, You bad spirit, come out of the man.

bwe@Mark:5:10 @ He begged Jesus saying, Do not send us out of the country.

bwe@Mark:5:13 @ Jesus let them go right away. The bad spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs. The pigs ran fast down the steep hill into the sea. They died in the water. The number of pigs was about two thousand.

bwe@Mark:5:17 @ Then the people began to beg Jesus to go away out of their country.

bwe@Mark:5:22 @ One of the rulers of the meeting house came to him. His name was Jairus. When he saw Jesus, he kneeled down before him.

bwe@Mark:5:27 @ When she heard of Jesus, she came among the people behind him. Then she reached out and touched his clothes.

bwe@Mark:5:29 @ The bleeding stopped right away. She could feel that she was healed of her trouble.

bwe@Mark:5:33 @ The woman was afraid and trembled. She knew what had happened to her. She kneeled down in front of Jesus and told him the truth about herself.

bwe@Mark:6:4 @ Jesus said to them, Other people honour a man who is a prophet of God. But the people in his own country, his own home, and his family, do not honour him.

bwe@Mark:6:7 @ He called the twelve disciples to him and sent them out two by two. He gave them power to drive bad spirits out of people.

bwe@Mark:6:11 @ In some places the people will not take you in. They will not listen to what you say. When you leave such a town, shake the dust off your feet. That will be a warning to them. I tell you the truth. On the day when people are judged, the people in that town will be punished harder than the people in the country of Sodom and Gomorrah.

bwe@Mark:6:13 @ They drove bad spirits out of many people. They also put oil on many sick people and healed them.

bwe@Mark:6:15 @ Other people said, It is Elijah. Others said, He is a prophet like the prophets of God who lived long ago.

bwe@Mark:6:16 @ Herod heard what other people said, so he said, I cut off Johns head. He is alive again.

bwe@Mark:6:21 @ rod made a feast on his birthday. He called all his rulers and the captains and the leaders of Galilee to come to the feast.

bwe@Mark:6:22 @ The daughter of Herodias came in and danced for them. This pleased Herod and the people at the feast. Then the king said to the girl, Ask me for anything you want and I will give it to you.

bwe@Mark:6:23 @ He made a promise which he would not break. He said, Anything that you ask me for I will give you, even if you ask me for half of my kingdom.

bwe@Mark:6:24 @ The girl went to her mother and said, What shall I ask for? Her mother said, Ask for the head of John the Baptizer.

bwe@Mark:6:25 @ The girl came quickly to the king and said, I want you to give me the head of John the Baptizer on a plate. Give it to me right away.

bwe@Mark:6:27 @ Right away he sent one of the soldiers who was standing on guard. He told him to bring Johns head. The soldier went to the prison and cut off Johns head.

bwe@Mark:6:29 @ When Johns disciples heard of it, they came and took his body and buried it.

bwe@Mark:6:33 @ The people saw them going. Many people knew them. The people ran from all the towns and got there ahead of them.

bwe@Mark:6:37 @ Jesus said, You give them food to eat. They said, Shall we go and buy a lot of bread and give them to eat?

bwe@Mark:6:38 @ He said, Go and see how much bread you have. When they knew, they told him, We have five loaves of bread and two fish.

bwe@Mark:6:41 @ Jesus took the five loaves of bread and the two fish. He looked up to heaven and thanked God for them. Then he broke them in pieces. He gave them to the disciples to give to the people. Then he divided the two fish among them all.

bwe@Mark:6:43 @ Then they gathered twelve baskets full of pieces that were left.

bwe@Mark:6:44 @ The number of men who ate was about five thousand.

bwe@Mark:6:54 @ As soon as he got out of the boat, the people knew him.

bwe@Mark:7:2 @ They saw some of the disciples eating food. They had not washed their hands before they ate. The Pharisees said that was wrong.

bwe@Mark:7:6 @ Jesus said to them, Isaiah spoke the truth about you people! You are not true to yourselves! He wrote about you this way: "These people respect me with their mouths. But their hearts are far from me. They do not mean it in their hearts when they worship me. Their teachings are only words of men."

bwe@Mark:7:8 @ You do not keep the law of God, but you keep the laws made by people. Those laws are about washing pots and cups. You do many other things like that also.

bwe@Mark:7:14 @ Then Jesus called the people to him again. He said, Listen to me, all of you, and understand what I say.

bwe@Mark:7:15 @ What goes into a persons mouth does not make him dirty. But what comes out of a persons mouth makes him dirty.

bwe@Mark:7:17 @ Jesus left the people and went into a house. His disciples asked him the meaning of the story.

bwe@Mark:7:19 @ It does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and then it goes out of the body. By saying this, Jesus meant that food does not make a person dirty.

bwe@Mark:7:20 @ But he said, What comes out of a person makes him dirty. 21,

bwe@Mark:7:21 @ Here is what comes from the heart: wrong thoughts, all kinds of adultery, stealing, killing, wanting things that other people have, doing very wrong things, fooling people, breaking the law, jealousy, saying wrong things about people, being proud, being foolish.

bwe@Mark:7:23 @ Then Jesus went away to the country of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house and did not want anyone to know he was there. But he could not hide from the people.

bwe@Mark:7:24 @ Right away a woman heard of him. She came and kneeled down before him. Her daughter had a bad spirit in her.

bwe@Mark:7:25 @ The woman was not a Jew and had been born in the country of Phoenicia in Syria. She begged Jesus to drive the bad spirit out of her daughter.

bwe@Mark:7:28 @ Jesus said to her, Because you have said this, you may go home. The bad spirit has gone out of your daughter.

bwe@Mark:7:30 @ Jesus went away from Tyre and Sidon and came to the sea of Galilee. He passed through the country of the Ten Towns.

bwe@Mark:8:2 @ I share the suffering of the people. They have been with me for three days and they have nothing to eat.

bwe@Mark:8:3 @ If I send them home hungry, they will get weak and fall on the way. Some of them have come a long way.

bwe@Mark:8:5 @ Jesus asked them, How many loaves of bread have you? They said, Seven.

bwe@Mark:8:6 @ He told the people to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves of bread and thanked God for them. Then he broke the bread and gave it to the disciples. They gave it to the people.

bwe@Mark:8:8 @ The people ate and had enough. They gathered seven baskets full of pieces that were left.

bwe@Mark:8:9 @ The number of men who ate was about four thousand.

bwe@Mark:8:14 @ The disciples forgot to take food. They had only one loaf of bread with them in the boat.

bwe@Mark:8:15 @ Jesus said, Watch! Take care. Do not let the bread yeast of the Pharisees and Herod spoil you.

bwe@Mark:8:19 @ When I broke five loaves for five thousand people, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you gather? They said, Twelve.

bwe@Mark:8:20 @ He said, When I broke seven loaves for four thousand people, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you gather? They said, Seven.

bwe@Mark:8:23 @ Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. He spat on his eyes and put his hands on him. Then he asked, Do you see anything?

bwe@Mark:8:28 @ They answered, People say that you are John the Baptizer. Others say that you are Elijah. And others say that you are one of the prophets from long ago.

bwe@Mark:8:31 @ Then he began to teach them. He said, The Son of Man will have much trouble. The leaders, the chief priests, and the scribes will not believe him. He will be killed. After three days he will rise.

bwe@Mark:8:35 @ Anyone who tries to keep his life will lose it. And anyone who gives up his life for my sake and for the sake of the good news will find it.

bwe@Mark:8:37 @ What can a person give to get back his soul? People have gone away from God and are full of wrong ways. If anyone in this time is ashamed of me and the things I say, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of that person when he comes. The Son of Man will come with his holy angels, and be great like his Father.

bwe@Mark:9:1 @ Jesus said to them, I tell you the truth. Some people are standing here who will not die before they see the kingdom of God come with power.

bwe@Mark:9:2 @ Six days after this, Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him. He led them up a hill by themselves. Jesus was changed in front of them.

bwe@Mark:9:9 @ When they came down the hill, Jesus said to them, Do not tell anyone what you saw. Do not tell it until after the Son of Man has been raised from death.

bwe@Mark:9:12 @ He said, Elijah does come first. He will get everything ready. But why do the holy writings say that the Son of Man must have much trouble? They say, "He will have much trouble and the people will not respect him."

bwe@Mark:9:17 @ One of the people said, Teacher, I brought my son to you. A bad spirit is in him so he cannot talk.

bwe@Mark:9:18 @ Wherever it takes hold of him, it throws him around. It makes him foam at his mouth. It makes him make noises with his teeth. He is getting weak and thin. I asked your disciples to drive the bad spirit out, but they could not do it.

bwe@Mark:9:22 @ Often it has thrown him in the fire and in the water. It has tried to kill him. If you can do anything for him, show us that you share our suffering by helping us.

bwe@Mark:9:24 @ Right away the father of the child, with tears in his eyes, said loudly, I do believe! Help me to believe more!

bwe@Mark:9:25 @ Jesus saw many people come running together. He talked to the bad spirit: You bad spirit who stops the boy from hearing and talking! I tell you, come out of him and do not go into him again!

bwe@Mark:9:26 @ The bad spirit screamed and threw the boy around. Then it came out of him and left him like a dead person. Many of the people even said, The boy is dead.

bwe@Mark:9:29 @ Jesus said to them, This kind of bad spirit does not come out unless people talk to God and fast.

bwe@Mark:9:31 @ He taught his disciples. He said to them, The Son of Man will be given over to men. They will kill him. When he is killed, he will rise after three days.

bwe@Mark:9:36 @ Jesus took a child and had him stand in front of them. Then he took the child in his arms and said,

bwe@Mark:9:38 @ John said to him, Master, we saw a man driving bad spirits out of people. He was using your name, but he is not one of us. So we told him to stop because he is not one of us.

bwe@Mark:9:41 @ I tell you the truth. If anyone gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, he will not lose his reward

bwe@Mark:9:42 @ These little children believe in me. If anyone makes one of them do wrong, he will be punished. He will have worse trouble than if a big stone were tied to his neck and he were thrown into the deep sea.

bwe@Mark:9:43 @ If your hand makes you do wrong, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life with one hand than to have two hands and go into hell. Hell fire never dies.

bwe@Mark:9:45 @ If your foot makes you do wrong, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life with one foot than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. Hell fire never dies.

bwe@Mark:10:1 @ Jesus left that place and went through the country of Judea on the other side of the Jordan river. Many people came to him there again. He taught them as he always did.

bwe@Mark:10:8 @ The two of them will be like one person. So they are not two people any more, but they are one person.

bwe@Mark:10:15 @ I tell you the truth. If anyone does not believe in the kingdom of God like a child, he will never go in.

bwe@Mark:10:23 @ Then Jesus looked around at his disciples and said to them, It is very hard for rich people to enter the kingdom of God.

bwe@Mark:10:24 @ The disciples were surprised at his words. But Jesus said again, Children, it is very hard for people who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God.

bwe@Mark:10:25 @ It is easier for a big animal to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

bwe@Mark:10:30 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. If any man has left his house, or his brothers, or his sisters, his mother, or his father, or his children, or farms, for my sake and for the sake of the good news, he will receive his pay in this life. He will have a hundred times as many houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and farms. He will have trouble also. But in the next world he will live for ever.

bwe@Mark:10:32 @ Jesus and his disciples were on the road to Jerusalem. Jesus was walking in front of them. The disciples were surprised. And the people who came behind were afraid. He took the twelve disciples and began to tell them what was going to happen to him.

bwe@Mark:10:33 @ He said, We are going to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be given over to the chief priests and the scribes. They will judge him and say he must die. They will give him over to rulers who are not Jews.

bwe@Mark:10:34 @ They will make fun of him. They will spit on him. They will beat him and kill him. After three days, he will rise again.

bwe@Mark:10:35 @ James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said, Master, we want you to do for us anything we ask you.

bwe@Mark:10:37 @ They said, Let one of us sit at your right side and one at your left side when you rule.

bwe@Mark:10:45 @ The Son of Man did not come to have others help him. But he came to help others. He came to give his life to make many people free.

bwe@Mark:10:46 @ Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples left Jericho, many people followed him. A blind man named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road. He was begging for money.

bwe@Mark:10:47 @ He heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing. So he shouted, Jesus, Son of David! Help me!

bwe@Mark:10:48 @ Many people said, Be quiet! But he shouted louder, Son of David! Help me!

bwe@Mark:10:50 @ The man threw off his coat, jumped up, and went to Jesus.

bwe@Mark:11:1 @ They came to Bethphage and Bethany, near Jerusalem by the hill called Olives. Then he sent two of his disciples ahead.

bwe@Mark:11:2 @ He said, Go into the village in front of you. As soon as you go in, you will find an animal tied. No one has ever sat on it. Untie it and bring it to me.

bwe@Mark:11:9 @ People in front of him and people behind him shouted, Praise God! God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord!

bwe@Mark:11:10 @ God bless the kingdom of our father David which is coming. Praise him in heaven!

bwe@Mark:11:12 @ In the morning when they were on the way out of Bethany, Jesus was hungry.

bwe@Mark:11:13 @ He saw a fig tree a little way off with leaves on it. So he went to see if it had figs. He came to the tree. There was no fruit on it, only leaves. It was not the time for figs.

bwe@Mark:11:15 @ They reached Jerusalem. Jesus went into the temple. He began to drive out the people who were buying and selling in the temple. He threw down the tables of the money changers. He pushed down the seats of those who sold doves.

bwe@Mark:11:19 @ In the evening Jesus and his disciples went out of the city.

bwe@Mark:11:32 @ But what if we say, "Men gave him the right to do it"? They feared the people because they all believed that John was a prophet of God.

bwe@Mark:12:1 @ Jesus then began to speak to the disciples in stories. A man planted a farm of vines for growing fruit called grapes. He put a fence of small trees around it. He dug a place to press the juice from the fruit. He built a high house from which men could watch over the farm. Then he let some men pay to use it and went to a country far away.

bwe@Mark:12:2 @ At harvest time the owner sent one his servants to get some of the fruit from the farm.

bwe@Mark:12:10 @ Have you not read this writing: "The stone which the builders would not use is now the chief stone of the corner. The Lord did this. It looks wonderful to us."?

bwe@Mark:12:13 @ They sent some Pharisees and some of Herods people to Jesus. They planned how to make Jesus say something wrong.

bwe@Mark:12:14 @ They came and said to him, Teacher, we know that you are true. You do not fear any person or care how great he is. But you teach the true way of God. Tell us, is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or is it not?

bwe@Mark:12:15 @ Should we pay taxes or not? Jesus knew they were trying to get him into trouble. So he said to them, Why are you trying to get me to do wrong? Bring me a piece of money. Let me look at it.

bwe@Mark:12:18 @ Some of the Sadducees came to Jesus. They say that people do not rise from death. They asked Jesus a question.

bwe@Mark:12:22 @ All seven brothers married her. They all had no children. Last of all the woman died also.

bwe@Mark:12:23 @ Now then when people rise from death, whose wife will she be? All seven of them had married her.

bwe@Mark:12:26 @ People do rise from death! Have you never read what Moses wrote? It is in the place where we read about the small tree which burned. Moses tells how God said to him, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob."

bwe@Mark:12:27 @ He is not the God of dead people, but of living people. The way you look at things is wrong altogether.

bwe@Mark:12:28 @ One of the scribes heard them talking. He saw that Jesus gave them a good answer. Then he came and asked, Which law is the greatest law of all?

bwe@Mark:12:33 @ Love God with all your heart. Love him with all your understanding. Love him with all your strength. That is much better than to burn offerings and make sacrifices. Love your neighbour as you love yourself. That is better than any of these offerings and sacrifices.

bwe@Mark:12:34 @ Jesus saw that the scribe was wise. So he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. After that everyone feared to ask him any more questions.

bwe@Mark:12:37 @ So David calls Christ his Lord. How can Christ be Davids son? Most of the people were glad to hear Jesus teaching.

bwe@Mark:12:40 @ They take away the homes of women whose husbands are dead. They cover up the wrong things they do by talking to God a long time. They will be punished more!

bwe@Mark:12:42 @ A poor woman, whose husband was dead, came. She put in two small pieces of money.

bwe@Mark:12:44 @ All these people had plenty of money and they gave only a part of it. She was poor and she gave everything she had. She has nothing left to live on.

bwe@Mark:13:1 @ When Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said, Look Master, see those big stones and the wonderful houses!

bwe@Mark:13:2 @ Jesus said, You see these big houses? I tell you, not one stone here will be left on top of another. They will all be thrown down!

bwe@Mark:13:3 @ Afterwards, he was sitting on the hill called the Mount of Olives, near the temple. Peter, James, John, and Andrew came to him alone.

bwe@Mark:13:8 @ One tribe will fight against another tribe. And one country will fight against another country. The earth will shake in many different places. People will have no food to eat. These troubles are only the beginning of the troubles that will come.

bwe@Mark:13:14 @ Daniel the Man of God said that people would put something very bad in the temple. (Let the one who reads this understand it.) When that happens, the people in Judea must go quickly to the hills.

bwe@Mark:13:15 @ A person who is on the top of a house must not go down into the house to get things.

bwe@Mark:13:18 @ Ask God that you may not have the trouble in the cold time of the year.

bwe@Mark:13:20 @ No person would be saved if the Lord did not make the time of trouble shorter. He will make it shorter for the sake of his chosen people.

bwe@Mark:13:22 @ People will come and say they are the Christ. People will come and say they are prophets of God. But they are not true to themselves. They will show big signs and do wonderful things that will fool people. They will fool Gods chosen people if they can.

bwe@Mark:13:24 @ In that time of trouble, the sun will be dark. The moon will not shine.

bwe@Mark:13:26 @ Then people will see the sign of the Son of Man in the clouds. He will have much power and be very great.

bwe@Mark:13:28 @ Learn a lesson from the fig tree. As soon as its branches begin to grow and the leaves come, then you know it will soon be the warm time of the year.

bwe@Mark:13:32 @ But no one knows the day or the hour when the Son of Man will come. Even the angels in heaven and the Son do not know. Only the Father knows.

bwe@Mark:13:34 @ It is like a man who went to a country far away. He left his home and told each one of his servants what work he must do. Then he told the man who guards the door to watch.

bwe@Mark:13:35 @ So watch! You do not know when the master of the house will come. You do not know if he will come in the evening, or at midnight, or when the cock calls, or in the morning.

bwe@Mark:14:2 @ But they said, Let us not do it on the day of the feast. We do not want the people to start fighting about it.

bwe@Mark:14:3 @ When Jesus was in the town of Bethany, he was in Simons house. Simon had leprosy. While Jesus sat at the table, a woman came to him. She had a bottle of oil. It smelled very nice and cost much money. She broke the bottle and poured the oil on Jesus head.

bwe@Mark:14:5 @ The oil might have been sold for a lot of money. Then the money could have been given to poor people. They said to the woman, You should not have done this!

bwe@Mark:14:9 @ I tell you the truth. Any place in the whole world where people tell the good news, people will also tell what she has done. People will remember her because of it.

bwe@Mark:14:10 @ Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, went to the chief priests. He told them how he could help them catch Jesus.

bwe@Mark:14:12 @ It was the first day of the feast with bread that has no yeast in it. The sheep had to be killed for the Passover Feast. His disciples asked Jesus Where do you want us to make ready for you to eat the Passover Feast?

bwe@Mark:14:13 @ He sent two of his disciples and said to them, Go into the city. There you will meet a man who is carrying a pot of water. Follow him.

bwe@Mark:14:14 @ When he goes into a house, talk to the master of the house. Say to him, "The Teacher says, Where is my room where I can eat the Passover Feast with my disciples?"

bwe@Mark:14:18 @ While they were sitting at the table eating, Jesus said, I tell you the truth. One of you who is eating with me will give me over to people who hate me.

bwe@Mark:14:20 @ Jesus answered them, It is one of you twelve. It is the one who puts his hand in the same dish with me.

bwe@Mark:14:21 @ The Son of Man will go just as the holy writings tell about him. But the man who gives him over will have trouble. It would have been better for that man if he had not been born!

bwe@Mark:14:23 @ He also took a cup. He thanked God for it. Then he gave it to them. They all drank some of it.

bwe@Mark:14:25 @ I tell you the truth. I will not drink any of the fruit of the vine again until I drink some of it new in the kingdom of God.

bwe@Mark:14:27 @ Jesus said to them, All of you will leave me this night. the holy writings say, "I will kill the one who takes care of the sheep. And the sheep will run away."

bwe@Mark:14:38 @ All of you must watch and talk with God so that you will not do wrong. A persons heart can want to do it, but his body is weak.

bwe@Mark:14:41 @ Then he went back the third time. He said, Are you still sleeping and resting?. It is enough. The time has come now. The Son of Man is given over to bad people.

bwe@Mark:14:43 @ While he was saying this, Judas came. He was one of the twelve disciples. Many people came with him. They had long knives or swords and big sticks. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders had sent them.

bwe@Mark:14:47 @ One of the men standing by took his sword. He cut off the ear of the high priests servant.

bwe@Mark:14:50 @ Then all of the disciples left Jesus and ran away.

bwe@Mark:14:51 @ A young man went with Jesus. He had a piece of cloth about him. The people caught him.

bwe@Mark:14:54 @ Peter followed far behind Jesus. He went into the yard of the high priests house. He sat down with the people who worked for the high priest. He warmed himself by the fire.

bwe@Mark:14:55 @ The chief priests, and all the judges of the court tried to find men to say Jesus had done something wrong so they could kill him. But they found none.

bwe@Mark:14:61 @ But Jesus said nothing at all. Then the high priest asked him, Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?

bwe@Mark:14:62 @ Jesus answered, Yes, I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the One who has all power. You will see him coming on the clouds of the sky!

bwe@Mark:14:63 @ Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, We do not need any more proof against him.

bwe@Mark:14:67 @ She saw Peter warming himself by the fire. She looked at him and said, You were also with Jesus of Nazareth.

bwe@Mark:14:69 @ A girl saw Peter there and said to the other people standing by, This man is one of them.

bwe@Mark:14:70 @ But again Peter said he was not. A little while after, those standing around said to Peter, Surely you are one of them also. You come from Galilee.

bwe@Mark:15:2 @ Pilate asked him, Are you the King of the Jews? Jesus answered, Yes, I am.

bwe@Mark:15:9 @ Then Pilate asked, Do you want me to let the King of the Jews go free?

bwe@Mark:15:12 @ Pilate asked them, Then what shall I do with the man whom you call King of the Jews?

bwe@Mark:15:17 @ They put a red gown on Jesus. They made a big ring of thorns like a crown and put it on his head.

bwe@Mark:15:18 @ Then they began to speak to him as if he were a king. They shouted, Greetings, King of the Jews!

bwe@Mark:15:20 @ When they had made fun of him, they took off the red gown and put his own clothes on him again. Then they took Jesus out of the city to nail him to a cross.

bwe@Mark:15:21 @ man was coming in from the farms. His name was Simon. He was born in the country of Cyrene. Alexander and Rufus were his sons. The soldiers caught Simon and made him carry Jesus cross.

bwe@Mark:15:22 @ They took Jesus to Golgotha. That means the place of a head bone.

bwe@Mark:15:26 @ They put the complaint they had against him above Jesus head. It was, The King of the Jews.

bwe@Mark:15:27 @ They also nailed two bad men on crosses there. One was put on the right side of Jesus and one was put on the left side of Jesus.

bwe@Mark:15:28 @ The holy writings say, He was counted as one of the bad people. It came true.

bwe@Mark:15:31 @ The chief priests and the scribes also made fun of him. He saved other people, but he cannot save himself!

bwe@Mark:15:32 @ If he is the Christ, the king of the people of Israel, he should come down from the cross now. We want to see it and believe! The bad men who were also nailed to crosses said the same things to him.

bwe@Mark:15:35 @ Some of the people standing there heard what Jesus said. They said, Listen, he is calling for Elijah!

bwe@Mark:15:36 @ One man ran to get something called a sponge. He made it wet with sour wine and put it on the end of a stick. With it he gave Jesus a drink. He said, We will see if Elijah will come and take him down!

bwe@Mark:15:39 @ The captain who stood in front of Jesus saw that he died. He said, Surely, this man was Gods Son.

bwe@Mark:15:40 @ Some women were watching from far away. Among these women were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of the younger James and Joses, and Salome.

bwe@Mark:15:42 @ It was now evening of the day before the Sabbath.

bwe@Mark:15:43 @ Joseph of Arimathaea was a member of the court. He was a good man. He also was looking for the kingdom of God. He was not afraid, but went to Pilate and asked him for Jesus body.

bwe@Mark:15:47 @ Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where they laid Jesus.

bwe@Mark:16:1 @ The Sabbath day was past. Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome came to the grave. They brought spices that smelled very nice to put on the body of Jesus.

bwe@Mark:16:2 @ They came to the grave on the first day of the week. It was very early in the morning. The sun was beginning to shine.

bwe@Mark:16:6 @ He said, Do not be surprised. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth who was nailed to a cross. He is risen. He is not here. Look, here is where they laid him.

bwe@Mark:16:9 @ Jesus rose early on the first day of the week. He showed himself first to Mary Magdalene. Jesus had driven seven bad spirits out of her.

bwe@Mark:16:13 @ They went back and told the rest of the disciples, but they would not believe them either.

bwe@Mark:16:15 @ Then Jesus said to them, Go into every part of the world. Tell the good news to everyone.

bwe@Mark:16:17 @ These signs will be with those who believe. They will drive bad spirits out of people by using my name. They will speak new languages.

bwe@Luke:1:5 @ When Herod was king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah. He was one of a group of priests, and Abijah was their leader. Zechariahs wife Elizabeth came from the family of Aaron.

bwe@Luke:1:6 @ Both of them were good people as God saw them. They obeyed all the laws and the things that the Lord said they should do.

bwe@Luke:1:9 @ The priests had a certain way of dividing their work. This day it was Zechariahs turn to go into the temple of the Lord and burn the incense <FI>that smells sweet when it is burned<Fi>.

bwe@Luke:1:11 @ An angel of the Lord came to Zechariah. He was standing on the right side of the incense table.

bwe@Luke:1:16 @ He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God.

bwe@Luke:1:17 @ He will go ahead of the Lord. He will have the spirit and power of Elijah. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children. And he will bring back the people who do not obey, so that they will want to do what good people do. He will make people ready for the Lord.

bwe@Luke:1:21 @ the people were waiting for Zechariah to come out of the temple. They were surprised that he stayed in so long.

bwe@Luke:1:23 @ When his time for doing the work of a priest was finished, Zechariah went home.

bwe@Luke:1:26 @ Elizabeth was now in her sixth month. God sent the angel Gabriel to the town of Nazareth in Galilee.

bwe@Luke:1:27 @ The angel was sent to a young woman there. Her name was Mary. She was promised to a man named Joseph, to be his wife. He was of Davids family line.

bwe@Luke:1:32 @ He will be a great man. He will be called the Son of the Highest One <FI>a name for God<Fi>. The Lord God will make him king where his father David was king.

bwe@Luke:1:33 @ He will be king over the people of Israel for ever. He will never stop being king.

bwe@Luke:1:35 @ The angel answered, The Holy Spirit will come to you. The power of the Highest One will be over you. That is why the holy child who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

bwe@Luke:1:40 @ She went into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.

bwe@Luke:1:43 @ Who am I that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

bwe@Luke:1:48 @ He has remembered his servant even though she is not a great person. From now on all people of all times will say God has blessed me.

bwe@Luke:1:50 @ He is kind to people of all times who respect him.

bwe@Luke:1:55 @ He has remembered to be kind just as he said to our fathers of long ago. He promised to be kind to Abraham and his childrens children for ever.

bwe@Luke:1:65 @ Everyone who lived around there began to wonder at these things. And everywhere in the hill country of Judea, all these things were talked about.

bwe@Luke:1:66 @ All those who heard them thought much about them. They said, What will this child be some day? They said this because the power of the Lord was with him.

bwe@Luke:1:68 @ He said, Praise the Lord God of Israel! He has remembered his people, and set them free.

bwe@Luke:1:69 @ He has chosen one from the family of his servant David. He has given him power to save us.

bwe@Luke:1:70 @ That is what he promised through his holy prophets of God long ago.

bwe@Luke:1:76 @ You, my child, will be called the prophet or messenger of the Highest One. You will go ahead of the Lord to make his way ready.

bwe@Luke:1:80 @ The child grew. He became strong in spirit. He lived in the desert until the day when he came to the people of Israel.

bwe@Luke:2:2 @ This was the first time names were written in a book in this way. Quirinius was the ruler of Syria at that time.

bwe@Luke:2:4 @ Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to the town of Bethlehem in Judea. This was Davids town, and Joseph came from Davids family line.

bwe@Luke:2:8 @ In the same part of the country, men were taking care of sheep. They were in the field watching their sheep at night.

bwe@Luke:2:9 @ An angel of the Lord came to them and a bright light from the Lord shone all around them. They were very much afraid.

bwe@Luke:2:13 @ All at once a great number of angels from heaven were with the angel. They were praising God.

bwe@Luke:2:15 @ The angels left them and went back to heaven. The men who were taking care of the sheep said to one another Let us go to Bethlehem and see what has happened. It is the Lord who has told us about it.

bwe@Luke:2:20 @ Then the men who were taking care of the sheep went back. They praised and thanked God for all they had heard and seen. It was just as they had been told it would be.

bwe@Luke:2:22 @ The time came when Mary was no longer unclean by the law of Moses. Joseph and Mary took Jesus to Jerusalem to bring him to the Lord.

bwe@Luke:2:23 @ This is what is written in the law of the Lord: Every boy who is the first child of his mother will be holy for the Lord.

bwe@Luke:2:24 @ They also came to make a sacrifice as an offering to God. The law of the Lord said, A pair of doves or two young pigeons.

bwe@Luke:2:34 @ Simeon blessed them. He said to Mary, the mother of Jesus, He will be a sign that people do not believe in. He will make many people in Israel fall and rise.

bwe@Luke:2:39 @ The parents did everything that the law of the Lord said they should do. Then they went back to Galilee to their own town, Nazareth.

bwe@Luke:2:43 @ After the days of the feast were finished, they started home. But the boy Jesus stayed in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it.

bwe@Luke:2:44 @ They thought he was coming with the rest of the people. They travelled one day. Then they looked for him among their family and friends.

bwe@Luke:2:46 @ On the third day they found him in the temple. He was sitting in front of the teachers of the law. He was listening to them and asking them questions.

bwe@Luke:3:4 @ Isaiah, the prophet of God, wrote about him long ago in his book: A man is calling out in the desert: "Make the way ready for the Lord. Make the road straight for him.

bwe@Luke:3:7 @ Many people came out to John to be baptised. He said to them, You family of snakes! Who told you to run away from Gods anger that is coming?

bwe@Luke:4:14 @ Jesus had the power of the Spirit when he went back to Galilee. People talked about him in all that part of the country.

bwe@Luke:4:17 @ A man gave him the book that Isaiah the prophet of God wrote long ago. He opened the book and found the place where it says,

bwe@Luke:4:18 @ The Spirit of the Lord is on me because he chose me to tell the good news to poor people. He has sent me to tell the prisoners they can go free, and to tell the blind people they can see. He has sent me to set free those who have been wrongly held down,

bwe@Luke:4:24 @ And he went on to say, I tell you the truth. No prophet of God is accepted by the people in his own country.

bwe@Luke:4:25 @ I tell you the truth. At the time of Elijah, there were many women in Israel whose husbands were dead. There was no rain for three years and six months. All over the country there was great trouble because there was no food.

bwe@Luke:4:26 @ But Elijah was not sent to any of these widowed women in Israel. He was sent to a widow at Zarephath in Sidon.

bwe@Luke:4:27 @ Also while Elisha was the prophet of God, many people in Israel had leprosy <FI>a bad skin disease<Fi>. None of them was healed. The only one who was healed was Naaman from the country of Syria.

bwe@Luke:4:31 @ Jesus went to the town of Capernaum in Galilee. He taught the people there on the Sabbath day.

bwe@Luke:4:35 @ Jesus said to him, Be quiet! Come out of him! The bad spirit threw the man down in front of them. He came out of the man and did not hurt him.

bwe@Luke:4:36 @ All the people were very much surprised. They said to each other, What kind of talk is this? He can make bad spirits obey him. He tells them to come out and they come out.

bwe@Luke:4:38 @ Jesus left the meeting house and went to Simons house. The mother of Simons wife was sick with a bad fever. They asked Jesus to help her.

bwe@Luke:4:40 @ When the sun went down, the people brought to Jesus all who were sick in any way. He put his hands on every one of them and healed them.

bwe@Luke:4:41 @ The bad spirits also came out of many people. They called out, You are the Son of God! But he stopped them. He would not let them talk because they knew that he was the Christ.

bwe@Luke:4:43 @ But he said to them, I must tell the good news to the people in other towns also. It is the news of Gods kingdom. I was sent to tell this.

bwe@Luke:5:1 @ The people came close around Jesus to hear Gods word. He was standing by Lake Gennesaret <FI>the Sea of Galilee<Fi>.

bwe@Luke:5:12 @ Jesus was in one of the cities and a man was there who had leprosy, a bad skin disease. When he saw Jesus, he bowed his face to the ground. He begged Jesus saying, Sir, I know you can heal me if you want to.

bwe@Luke:5:17 @ One day Jesus was teaching people. Pharisees and other Jewish teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every town in Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem. Jesus had the power of the Lord to heal the sick.

bwe@Luke:5:18 @ Some men brought a sick man on his bed. The man could not move his arms or legs. They tried to bring him in and put him in front of Jesus.

bwe@Luke:5:19 @ But they could not get in the house where Jesus was, because there were so many people. So they went up on the roof. Then through a hole in the roof they let down the bed with the sick man on it, until he was in front of Jesus.

bwe@Luke:5:24 @ I want you to know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive wrong things people have done. So he said to the sick man, I tell you, get up. Take up your bed and go home.

bwe@Luke:5:25 @ Right away the man stood up in front of them. He took up his bed and went home praising God.

bwe@Luke:5:33 @ They said to him, The disciples or followers of John are often fasting <FI>not eating for a time<Fi>, and they talk with God. The disciples of the Pharisees do the same. But your disciples eat and drink.

bwe@Luke:6:1 @ Jesus was walking through the grain fields on a Sabbath day. His disciples picked some of the grain as they went along. They cleaned it by rubbing it in their hands, and ate it.

bwe@Luke:6:2 @ Some of the Pharisees said, Why do your disciples do what is not right on the Sabbath day?"

bwe@Luke:6:4 @ He went into Gods house. Some bread was there for God. But David took the bread and ate it. He also gave some of it to the men who were with him. Only the priests have the right to eat that bread.

bwe@Luke:6:5 @ Jesus said to them, The Son of Man rules over the Sabbath day.

bwe@Luke:6:12 @ About that time Jesus went out of the city on the hill to talk with God. He talked with God all night.

bwe@Luke:6:13 @ In the morning he called his disciples to him. He chose twelve of them and called them apostles <FI>special messengers<Fi>.

bwe@Luke:6:14 @ They were Simon, whom Jesus called Peter, and his brother Andrew, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the freedom fighter, Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, the one who gave Jesus over to people who hated him.

bwe@Luke:6:17 @ Then Jesus came down the hill with them and stood on the flat ground. Many people came. There were many of his disciples. And there were many people from all parts of Judea, and from Jerusalem, and from the seaside of Tyre and Sidon. They came to hear him and to be healed because they were sick.

bwe@Luke:6:20 @ Jesus looked at his disciples and said, God will make happy you who are poor. The kingdom of God is for you.

bwe@Luke:6:22 @ God will make you happy when people hate you, when they will not let you belong to their group, when they say wrong things about you and make your name bad. God blesses you when it is for the sake of the Son of Man.

bwe@Luke:6:23 @ Be very happy on that day and dance for joy. God will be good to you in heaven. The fathers of these people did the same things to the prophets of God long ago.

bwe@Luke:6:26 @ When all the people praise you, you will have trouble! The fathers of these people did the same things to those who were not true prophets of God.

bwe@Luke:6:29 @ If someone hits you on one side of your face, turn the other side also. If someone takes your coat, let him have your shirt also.

bwe@Luke:6:35 @ Love your enemies. Do good things. Lend to people and do not look to get anything back. You will be paid well. You will be sons of the Highest One. He is kind to those who do not thank him and to those who are bad.

bwe@Luke:6:41 @ Why do you look at the small piece of dust in your brothers eye? And you do not see the big stick in your own eye.

bwe@Luke:6:42 @ How can you say to your brother, "Brother, let me take the dust out of your eye"? But you do not see the stick in your own eye. You are not true to yourselves! First take the stick out of your own eye. Then you will be able to see to take the dust out of your brothers eye.

bwe@Luke:6:44 @ Every kind of tree is known by its fruit. People do not pick fruit like figs from thorn trees. And they do not pick grapes from bramble bushes.

bwe@Luke:6:49 @ A man hears what I say but does not obey me. He is like a man who built his house on top of the ground. He did not dig down deep. The water beat hard against it and it fell with a loud noise!

bwe@Luke:7:2 @ An army officer had a servant whom he loved. The servant was sick and almost dying.

bwe@Luke:7:3 @ The officer heard of Jesus. So he sent some of the leaders of the Jews to him. He asked him to come and heal his servant.

bwe@Luke:7:6 @ Jesus went with them. When he came near the house, the officer sent some friends to meet him and to say, Sir, do not trouble yourself to come further. I am not good enough to have you come into my house.

bwe@Luke:7:11 @ Soon after that, Jesus went to the town of Nain. His disciples and many other people went with him.

bwe@Luke:7:12 @ He came near the gate of the town. There he met people carrying out a man who had died. He was the only son of his mother. And her husband was dead too. Many people from the city were with her.

bwe@Luke:7:16 @ Everyone was very much surprised. They praised God. They said, A great prophet of God has come to us. God has remembered his people.

bwe@Luke:7:19 @ He called two of them and sent them to Jesus. He asked, Are you the One who is to come? Or shall we wait for another person?

bwe@Luke:7:26 @ What did you go out to see? A prophet of God? Yes, I tell you, and he is much more than a prophet.

bwe@Luke:7:27 @ He is the one the holy writings tell about: "See, I send my messenger ahead of you. He will make the way ready for you."

bwe@Luke:7:28 @ I tell you, no one has ever been born who is greater than John. And yet, the smallest one in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

bwe@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and teachers of the law would not follow Gods way and they were not baptised by John.

bwe@Luke:7:31 @ Jesus asked, What will I say that the people of today are like? What are they like?

bwe@Luke:7:34 @ The Son of Man came. He eats and drinks. You say, "This man eats and drinks too much! He is a friend of tax collectors and bad people!"

bwe@Luke:7:36 @ One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to come and eat with him. So Jesus went into the Pharisees house and sat down to eat.

bwe@Luke:7:37 @ In that city was a bad woman. When she knew that Jesus was eating at the Pharisees house, she came and brought a bottle of oil. It was oil that smelled very sweet and cost much money.

bwe@Luke:7:39 @ The Pharisee who had asked Jesus to his house saw this. He said to himself, If this man were a prophet of God, he would know what kind of woman is touching him. She is a bad woman.

bwe@Luke:7:41 @ Jesus said, There was a man who used to lend money to people. Two people owed him money. One man owed him five hundred pieces of silver money. The other owed him fifty pieces.

bwe@Luke:7:42 @ They could not pay the money, so he let them both free. Now which one of them will love him more?

bwe@Luke:7:43 @ Simon answered, I would say the one he let off the most. Jesus said, You are right.

bwe@Luke:8:1 @ Soon after this, Jesus went through the cities and towns. He told the people Gods word about the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve disciples were with him.

bwe@Luke:8:2 @ Some women were also with him. They had bad spirits and had been sick. But they had been healed. One was Mary, called Magdalene. Seven bad spirits had gone out of her.

bwe@Luke:8:3 @ Another one was Joanna, the wife of Chuza, who worked for Herod. Another one was Susanna. And there were many others who gave what they could to help him.

bwe@Luke:8:10 @ He said to them, You can learn the secret things about the kingdom of God. But other people must have stories. They will look, but they will not see. They will hear, but they will not understand.

bwe@Luke:8:12 @ Some seeds fell on the road. They are like the people who hear the word of God. Then the devil comes and takes the word out of their hearts. He does not want them to believe and be saved.

bwe@Luke:8:14 @ Some seeds fell among the weeds. They are like people who hear the word. But they think about the things of this world. They want to get money and things to be happy in this life. As they go on in life, these things push the message out of their hearts and no good comes from them.

bwe@Luke:8:19 @ The mother of Jesus and his brothers came to him. They could not reach him because there were so many people around him.

bwe@Luke:8:21 @ But he said to them, These people who hear the word of God and do it, they are my mother and my brothers.

bwe@Luke:8:22 @ One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples. He said to them, Let us cross over to the other side of the sea. So they started out.

bwe@Luke:8:25 @ He said to the disciples, Why do you not believe God? They were afraid and surprised. They said to each other, What kind of man is this? He tells the wind and the sea what to do and they obey him.

bwe@Luke:8:26 @ They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarene people. Their country is on the other side of the sea from Galilee.

bwe@Luke:8:27 @ As Jesus got out of the boat a man met him from the town. He had bad spirits in him. He had not worn clothes for a long time. He did not live in a house, but among the graves.

bwe@Luke:8:28 @ When he saw Jesus, he screamed loudly and bowed down in front of him. He called out loud, Jesus, Son of the Highest One! What do you want to do to me? I beg you, do not hurt me.

bwe@Luke:8:29 @ He said this because Jesus had told the bad spirit to come out of the man. Many times the spirit had taken hold of the man. People had guarded him. They had tied him with chains and strong ropes. But he broke the chains and ropes. The bad spirit drove him into the desert.

bwe@Luke:8:33 @ The spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs. They ran fast down the steep hill into the sea. They died in the water.

bwe@Luke:8:35 @ The people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus. They saw the man from whom the bad spirits had gone. He was sitting near the feet of Jesus. He had clothes on and was not crazy any more. The people were afraid.

bwe@Luke:8:41 @ A man named Jairus came to him. He was a ruler in the meeting house. He bowed down in front of Jesus and begged him to come to his house.

bwe@Luke:8:47 @ The woman saw that he knew about her. So she came trembling and bowed down in front of him. She told him in front of all the people why she had touched him. She told him that she had been healed right away.

bwe@Luke:8:52 @ All the people were crying and making a lot of noise because she had died. But he said, Do not cry. She is not dead, but sleeping.

bwe@Luke:9:2 @ He sent them out to tell people about the kingdom of God and to heal sick people.

bwe@Luke:9:5 @ Some people might not take you in. When you leave that town, shake the dust off your feet. That will be a sign to them.

bwe@Luke:9:8 @ Some people said Elijah had come back. And other people said that one of the old prophets of God had risen from death.

bwe@Luke:9:9 @ Herod said, I cut off Johns head. Now who is this man of whom I hear such things? He wanted to see Jesus.

bwe@Luke:9:13 @ But Jesus said to them, You give them food to eat. They said, All we have is five loaves of bread and two fish. Shall we go and buy food for all these people?

bwe@Luke:9:14 @ There were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, Tell the people to sit down in groups of fifty.

bwe@Luke:9:16 @ He took the five loaves of bread and the two fish. He looked up to heaven and thanked God for them. Then he broke the bread. He gave it to the disciples to give to the people.

bwe@Luke:9:17 @ They all ate and had enough. They picked up twelve baskets full of pieces that were left.

bwe@Luke:9:19 @ They answered, Some people say you are John the Baptizer. Others say you are Elijah. And others say that one of the old prophets of God has risen from death.

bwe@Luke:9:22 @ Then he went on to say, The Son of Man will have much trouble. The leaders of the people, the chief priests, and the scribes will not believe him. He will be killed. On the third day he will be raised from death.

bwe@Luke:9:26 @ If anyone is ashamed of me and the things I say, the Son of man will be ashamed of that person when he comes. The Son of man will come with his holy angels and be great like his Father.

bwe@Luke:9:27 @ I tell you the truth. Some people are standing here who will not die before they see the kingdom of God.

bwe@Luke:9:39 @ A bad spirit takes hold of him and he screams. It throws him around and makes him foam at his mouth. It beats him badly and does not want to leave him.

bwe@Luke:9:44 @ He said, Listen well to what I say. The Son of Man will be given over to men,

bwe@Luke:9:46 @ The disciples started talking among themselves. They quarrelled about which of them was the greatest person.

bwe@Luke:9:49 @ John answered, Master, we saw a man driving bad spirits out of people. He was using your name. We told him to stop because he is not one of us.

bwe@Luke:9:51 @ The time was near for Jesus to be taken up to heaven. Then he started off for Jerusalem. He sent messengers ahead of him.

bwe@Luke:9:52 @ They went to one of the towns of the Samaritan people to get ready for him.

bwe@Luke:9:55 @ But he turned and said to them, Stop that! You do not think about what kind of spirit you are showing.

bwe@Luke:9:56 @ The Son of Man did not come to kill people, but to save them. And they went on to another town.

bwe@Luke:9:58 @ Jesus said, Foxes have holes to live in. Birds have nests. But the Son of Man has no place to lie down to rest.

bwe@Luke:9:62 @ Jesus said to him, Any person who starts doing something and then keeps looking back is not fit for the kingdom of God.

bwe@Luke:10:1 @ After this the Lord chose seventy other men. He sent them ahead of him, two by two. He sent them to every town and village that he was going to visit.

bwe@Luke:10:2 @ He said to them, The harvest is much, but there are not many people to gather it. So talk to the Lord of this harvest and ask him to send out people to his harvest.

bwe@Luke:10:6 @ If a man of peace is there, your blessing will stay with him. If not, your blessing will come back to you.

bwe@Luke:10:9 @ Heal the sick people in the town. Tell the people, "The kingdom of God has come to you."

bwe@Luke:10:10 @ But when you go into a town and they do not take you in, then go out into the streets of the town.

bwe@Luke:10:11 @ Say to the people, "We wipe off even the dust of the town that is on our feet. This will be a sign to you. But remember this, the kingdom of God has come."

bwe@Luke:10:12 @ I tell you this. On the day when people are judged, they will be punished more than the people in the city of Sodom.

bwe@Luke:10:13 @ Chorazin, you will have trouble! Bethsaida, you will have trouble! If the big works I did in you had been done in the cities of Tyre and Sidon, the people there would have stopped doing bad things long ago. They would wear the clothes people wear to show they are sad, and would sit in ashes.

bwe@Luke:10:14 @ But on the day when people are judged you will be punished more than the people in the cities of Tyre and Sidon.

bwe@Luke:10:15 @ Capernaum, will you be lifted up to the sky? No, you will go down to the place of the dead.

bwe@Luke:10:19 @ I have given you power over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will hurt you.

bwe@Luke:10:21 @ At that same time the Holy Spirit made Jesus very happy. Jesus said, Father, you are Lord of heaven and earth. I thank you because you have hidden these things from people who are wise and know many things. But you have shown them to people who are like children. Yes, Father. That was the way you wanted it.

bwe@Luke:10:23 @ Then Jesus turned to his disciples and said to them alone, God is blessing the eyes of people who see what you see!

bwe@Luke:10:31 @ A priest happened to be going down that road. He saw the man but he passed by on the other side of the road.

bwe@Luke:10:33 @ A man from the country of Samaria was going on that road also, and came to the place. He saw the man and wanted to share in his troubles.

bwe@Luke:10:35 @ The next day he gave two pieces of money to the man who was in charge of the house for strangers. He said, "Take care of this man. If it costs you more than this, I will pay you when I come back.

bwe@Luke:10:36 @ Jesus said to the teacher of the law, What do you think? Which of these three was a neighbour to the man who was caught by the bad men?

bwe@Luke:10:39 @ She had a sister named Mary. Mary sat near the feet of Jesus and she listened to what he said.

bwe@Luke:11:1 @ One day Jesus was in a place talking with God. When he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to talk with God as John taught his disciples.

bwe@Luke:11:5 @ Jesus said to them, Maybe one of you has a friend. You go to him in the middle of the night and say to him, "Friend, lend me three loaves of bread.

bwe@Luke:11:11 @ Which of you fathers will give your son a snake if he asks for a fish?

bwe@Luke:11:14 @ Jesus was driving a bad spirit out of a man who could not talk. When the spirit left him, the man could talk. The people were surprised.

bwe@Luke:11:15 @ But some of them said, This man drives out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub, the chief of bad spirits.

bwe@Luke:11:17 @ But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, If one part of any country fights against the other part of the country, that country is spoiled. And if one part of any family fights against the other part of the family, it cannot stand.

bwe@Luke:11:18 @ If Satan fights against himself, how will his kingdom stand? You say I drive out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub.

bwe@Luke:11:19 @ If I drive out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub, by whose help do your own people drive them out? Your own people will judge you for this!

bwe@Luke:11:20 @ But if I drive out bad spirits by the help of God, then know this, Gods kingdom is here with you now.

bwe@Luke:11:24 @ When a bad spirit has gone out of a man, he goes through dry places. He looks for a place to rest, but he does not find any. Then he says, "I will go back to my house from where I came."

bwe@Luke:11:29 @ More and more people were coming. He started to talk. He said, People today are bad. They want a sign. No sign will be given them but the sign of Jonah the prophet of God.

bwe@Luke:11:30 @ Jonah was a sign to the men in the city of Nineveh. In the same way the Son of Man will be a sign to the people today.

bwe@Luke:11:31 @ When the people are judged, the Queen from the South will stand up and speak against men who live today. She came a long way to hear the wise words of Solomon. The one who is here is greater than Solomon.

bwe@Luke:11:32 @ When people are judged, the men of Nineveh will stand up and speak against the people of today. They stopped their wrong ways when Jonah told them Gods word. And the one who is here is greater than Jonah.

bwe@Luke:11:36 @ If no part of your body is dark, it will all be light. It will be like a lamp that shines to give you light.

bwe@Luke:11:39 @ The Lord said to him, You Pharisees wash the outside of a cup and a dish clean. But inside you are full of greed and wrong ways.

bwe@Luke:11:42 @ You Pharisees will have trouble! You give to God a tenth part of small garden plants. But you do not judge in the right way. And you do not love God. You should do these things and the other things too.

bwe@Luke:11:45 @ Then one of the men who taught Gods law said to Jesus, Teacher, when you say these things, you talk against us too.

bwe@Luke:11:47 @ You will have trouble! You build places to bury the prophets of God that your fathers killed.

bwe@Luke:11:49 @ That is why God, who is wise, said, "I will send prophets and messengers to them. They will kill some of them. And they will trouble some of them."

bwe@Luke:11:50 @ So the people who are living now will be punished for all the blood of the prophets of God that is on the ground since the world was made.

bwe@Luke:11:51 @ I mean all the blood from the time of Abel to the time of Zechariah. (He was killed between the holy table and the temple.) Yes, I tell you. The people who are living now will be punished for all of it.

bwe@Luke:11:52 @ You teachers of Gods law will have trouble! You have taken away the key of the door where people can go in and know what is true. You yourselves did not go in, and you stopped those who were going in.

bwe@Luke:12:1 @ Many thousands of people had gathered. They stepped on each other. Jesus began to talk to the disciples. He said, Take care. Do not let the yeast of the Pharisees spoil you. They are not true to themselves.

bwe@Luke:12:3 @ What you have said in the dark will be heard in the light. What you have said in secret with the door shut will be told from the tops of the houses.

bwe@Luke:12:6 @ Are not five sparrows sold for a tiny sum of money? Yet God does not forget about one of them.

bwe@Luke:12:7 @ Even the number of hairs on your head is known. So do not fear. You are worth more than many sparrows.

bwe@Luke:12:8 @ And I tell you. If anyone tells people that he knows me, the Son of Man will also tell the angels of God that he knows him.

bwe@Luke:12:9 @ But if anyone tells people he does not know me, the Son of Man will also tell the angels of God that he does not know that person.

bwe@Luke:12:10 @ Everyone who says anything against the Son of Man will be forgiven. But anyone who says wrong things against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

bwe@Luke:12:13 @ One of the people in the crowd said, Teacher, tell my brother to divide with me the things my father left when he died.

bwe@Luke:12:24 @ Think of the birds. They do not plant, cut, or keep any food. Yet God feeds them. You are worth much more than the birds!

bwe@Luke:12:25 @ Can any of you live any longer by troubling yourself about these things?

bwe@Luke:12:27 @ Think about the flowers. See how they grow. They do not work or make cloth. I tell you, King Solomon was a great man. But he was not dressed as fine as one of these flowers.

bwe@Luke:12:38 @ He may come in the middle of the night or when it is nearly morning. But if they are watching for the master, they will be happy.

bwe@Luke:12:39 @ And remember this. If the owner of a house knew at what time a man would come to steal, he would not let the man break into his house.

bwe@Luke:12:40 @ So then, be ready. The Son of Man will come at a time when you are not looking for him.

bwe@Luke:12:42 @ The Lord said, Who is like a wise servant who can be trusted? His master will put him in charge of his other servants. He gives them food to eat at the right time.

bwe@Luke:12:44 @ I tell you the truth. His master will put him in charge of all that he has

bwe@Luke:12:52 @ From now, if there are five in a family, they will be against each other. Three of them will be against the other two. And two of them will be against the other three.

bwe@Luke:12:56 @ You are not true to yourselves! You know the meaning of these signs in the earth and sky. But you do not know the meaning of the signs about the time in which we are living.

bwe@Luke:12:59 @ I tell you, you will not get out of prison until you have paid up every piece of money.

bwe@Luke:13:1 @ Some people were there at that time who told Jesus what Pilate had done. He had killed some of the people of Galilee and put their blood with the blood of their sacrifices to God.

bwe@Luke:13:10 @ Jesus was teaching in one of the meeting houses on the Sabbath day.

bwe@Luke:13:14 @ The ruler of the meeting house was angry because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day. He said to the people, There are six days to work. You should come to be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath day.

bwe@Luke:13:15 @ The Lord said to him, You are not true to yourselves! Every one of you unties his cow or horse and takes it to the water to drink on the Sabbath day. Do you not?

bwe@Luke:13:18 @ He went on to say, What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I say it is like?

bwe@Luke:13:20 @ Then Jesus said again, What else is the kingdom of God like?

bwe@Luke:13:21 @ It is like this. A woman took yeast and mixed it with many cups of flour. The yeast went all through the flour.

bwe@Luke:13:25 @ The master of the house will get up and lock the door. Then you will be standing outside. You will begin to knock on the door and call, "Sir, open the door for us!" But he will answer, "I do not know where you belong."

bwe@Luke:13:28 @ You will see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God. And you will see yourselves thrown out. Then you will cry and make a noise with your teeth.

bwe@Luke:13:29 @ People will come from the east, from the west, from the north, and from the south. They will sit down to eat in the kingdom of God.

bwe@Luke:13:32 @ He said, Go and tell that fox, "I drive bad spirits out of people and heal people. I do it today and tomorrow. On the third day I will finish what I am doing."

bwe@Luke:13:33 @ But I must go on my way today, tomorrow, and the next day. A prophet of God cannot be killed outside of Jerusalem.

bwe@Luke:13:34 @ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets of God. You throw stones to kill men who are sent to you. How often I have wanted to gather your people together as a mother hen gathers her little ones under her wings. But you would not come!

bwe@Luke:13:35 @ Now you are left alone in your house. I tell you this. You will not see me again until the time when you say, "God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord."

bwe@Luke:14:1 @ One Sabbath day Jesus went to eat at the house of a ruler. He was a ruler of the Pharisees. They were watching Jesus.

bwe@Luke:14:2 @ man stood in front of him. He was sick. His body was filled with water.

bwe@Luke:14:3 @ Jesus asked the teachers of Gods law and the Pharisees, Is it right to heal a person on the Sabbath day or not?

bwe@Luke:14:5 @ Jesus said to them, If your horse or cow falls into a hole, which one of you will not pull him out right away on the Sabbath day?

bwe@Luke:14:15 @ One of those who was sitting at the table heard this. He said, Happy is the person who will eat in the kingdom of God!

bwe@Luke:14:24 @ I tell you, not one of the men who were called first will eat any of my feast.

bwe@Luke:14:28 @ When any of you wants to build a high house, you sit down first and see how much it will cost. You want to see if you have enough money to finish it.

bwe@Luke:14:33 @ In the same way, any one of you who does not give up all he has cannot be my disciple.

bwe@Luke:15:4 @ He said, Which one of you will not do this? A man has a hundred sheep. He loses one of them. He leaves the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and he goes to look for the one that is lost. He looks until he finds it.

bwe@Luke:15:8 @ What woman will not do this? She has ten pieces of silver money. If she loses one of them, she lights a lamp and sweeps the house. She looks for the money until she finds it.

bwe@Luke:15:9 @ When she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbours to come. She says, "Be glad with me! I have found the piece of money I lost."

bwe@Luke:15:10 @ I tell you, the angels of God will be glad like that when one bad person stops doing wrong things.

bwe@Luke:15:12 @ The younger son said to his father, "Father, give me my part of what will belong to me." So his father divided all he had between the two sons.

bwe@Luke:15:17 @ Then he started to get sense. He said, "My father has many men who work for him. They have plenty of food. But here I am dying because I have nothing to eat!

bwe@Luke:15:19 @ I am not good enough now to be called your son. Let me be like one of these men who work for you."

bwe@Luke:15:21 @ The son said to him, "Father, I have been a bad son. I have done wrong to God in heaven and to you. I am not good enough now to be called your son. Let me be like one of these men who work for you."

bwe@Luke:15:26 @ He called one of the servants and said, "What is going on?"

bwe@Luke:15:30 @ But now this son of yours has come back. He has spent all your money and was with bad women. And yet you kill the fat calf for him!"

bwe@Luke:16:1 @ Jesus also talked to his disciples. He said, A rich man had a manager in charge of his things. People told the rich man that the manager was wasting his things.

bwe@Luke:16:6 @ He answered, "A hundred tins of oil." The manager said, "Take your paper. Sit down right now and write on it fifty."

bwe@Luke:16:7 @ Then he asked the next man, "How much do you owe?" He said, "A hundred bags of grain." The manager said, "Take your paper and write on it eighty."

bwe@Luke:16:8 @ Then the master praised the manager who did wrong. He praised him because he did what was wise. The people of this world are wiser than the people who have the Light. They know how to get along with people like themselves.

bwe@Luke:16:14 @ The Pharisees loved money. They heard all these things. They made fun of him.

bwe@Luke:16:16 @ The Law and the Prophets gave Gods word until John came. Since then, the good news of Gods kingdom has been told. And now everyone tries hard to get into the kingdom.

bwe@Luke:16:17 @ It would be easier to take away the sky and the earth than for the smallest part of the law to fall.

bwe@Luke:16:21 @ He wanted to eat the pieces of food that fell from the rich mans table. Dogs came and licked his sores.

bwe@Luke:16:23 @ He was in great pain in the world of dead people. He looked up and saw Abraham far away. With him was Lazarus.

bwe@Luke:17:2 @ A big stone should be tied around his neck and then he should be thrown into the sea. That would be better for him than to make one of these little children do wrong.

bwe@Luke:17:7 @ If your servant is working in the field or taking care of sheep, what will you say to him when he comes in from the field? Will you say, "Come now and sit down to eat"?

bwe@Luke:17:11 @ Jesus was going on the road to Jerusalem. He went between the countries of Samaria and Galilee.

bwe@Luke:17:14 @ When Jesus saw them, he said to them, Go and let the priests look at you. While they were going, they were healed of the leprosy.

bwe@Luke:17:15 @ One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back. He praised God with a loud voice.

bwe@Luke:17:16 @ He bowed down in front of Jesus and thanked him. He was a man from the country of Samaria.

bwe@Luke:17:20 @ The Pharisees asked Jesus, When will the kingdom of God come? He answered them, You cannot see the kingdom of God when it comes.

bwe@Luke:17:21 @ People will not be able to say, "Look, here it is!" or "There it is! That is because the kingdom of God is inside you.

bwe@Luke:17:22 @ Jesus said to his disciples, The time will come when you will want to see one of the days of the Son of Man. But you will not see it.

bwe@Luke:17:24 @ When lightning comes, it lights up the whole sky. It will be like that on the day when the Son of Man comes.

bwe@Luke:17:26 @ The way it was in the time of Noah is the way it will be in the time of the Son of Man.

bwe@Luke:17:28 @ It was the same way in the time of Lot. People ate and drank. They bought and sold. They planted and built.

bwe@Luke:17:29 @ Then one day Lot went out of the city of Sodom. Then on that day fire and burning rock came down from the sky and killed all the people.

bwe@Luke:17:30 @ That is the way it will be on the day when the Son of Man is seen.

bwe@Luke:17:31 @ On that day a man will be at the top of his house, and his things will be below. But he must not go down to get his things. In the same way a man will be in the field, but he must not go back home.

bwe@Luke:18:8 @ But I tell you, he will save them from their enemies soon. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find any people who believe in him?

bwe@Luke:18:12 @ Two times in the week I do not eat-I fast. I give away one tenth part of all I get."

bwe@Luke:18:16 @ But Jesus called them to him and said, Let the children come to me. Do not try to stop them. The kingdom of God belongs to people like them.

bwe@Luke:18:17 @ I tell you the truth. If anyone does not believe in the kingdom of God like a child, he will never go in.

bwe@Luke:18:24 @ Jesus looked at him and said, It is very hard for rich people to enter the kingdom of God!

bwe@Luke:18:25 @ It is easier for a big animal like a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

bwe@Luke:18:30 @ Jesus said to them, I tell you the truth. If any man has left his house, or his wife, or his brothers, or his father, or his mother, or his children for the sake of the kingdom of God, he will receive many times as much as he has left. He will receive that in this world. And in the next world he will live for ever.

bwe@Luke:18:31 @ Jesus took the twelve disciples with him. He said to them, We are going to Jerusalem. The prophets of God long ago wrote about the Son of Man. Everything they wrote will be done to him.

bwe@Luke:18:32 @ He will be given over to rulers who are not Jews. They will make fun of him. They will treat him very badly. They will spit on him.

bwe@Luke:18:34 @ But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them and they did not understand what he said.

bwe@Luke:18:35 @ When he came near the city of Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road. He was begging for money.

bwe@Luke:18:37 @ They told him, Jesus of Nazareth is passing this way.

bwe@Luke:18:38 @ Then he shouted, Jesus, son of David! Help me!

bwe@Luke:18:39 @ The people in front said, Be quiet! But he shouted louder and said, Son of David! Help me!

bwe@Luke:19:1 @ Jesus came to the city of Jericho and was passing through it.

bwe@Luke:19:8 @ Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, Look, Lord, I will give to the poor people half of all I have. And if I have cheated anyone, I will give him back four times as much as I took.

bwe@Luke:19:9 @ Jesus said to him, The head of this house has been saved today! He also is a son of Abraham.

bwe@Luke:19:10 @ The Son of Man came to look for and to save those who are lost.

bwe@Luke:19:11 @ While they were listening to this, he started to tell them a story. He did so because they were near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God would begin right away.

bwe@Luke:19:13 @ Before he left, he called ten of his servants. He gave each of them some money. He said, "Go and trade with this money until I come back."

bwe@Luke:19:21 @ I was afraid of you. You are a hard man. You take in where you put nothing out. You gather where you did not plant."

bwe@Luke:19:27 @ But where are those people who hate me and did not want me to rule over them? Bring them here and kill them right here in front of me."

bwe@Luke:19:28 @ When Jesus had said this, he went on ahead of them towards Jerusalem.

bwe@Luke:19:29 @ He came near Bethphage and Bethany by the hill called the Mount of Olives. Then he sent two of his disciples ahead.

bwe@Luke:19:30 @ He said, Go into the village in front of you. As soon as you go in, you will find an animal tied up. No one has ever sat on it. Untie it and bring it to me.

bwe@Luke:19:37 @ He came near the top of the hill called the Mount of Olives. Then all the people who believed in him began to be happy. They sang out loudly, and praised God in a loud voice for all the big works they had seen.

bwe@Luke:19:38 @ They said, God bless the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven where God is praised!

bwe@Luke:19:39 @ Some of the Pharisees who were among the people said to Jesus, Teacher, tell your disciples to stop saying that.

bwe@Luke:19:44 @ They will break you down to the ground. They will kill the people within you. They will not leave one stone of your houses on top of another. That will happen because you did not know the time when God was ready to help you.

bwe@Luke:19:47 @ He taught in the temple every day. The chief priests, scribes and the leaders of the people wanted to kill him.

bwe@Luke:20:6 @ But if we say, "Men gave him the right to do it," then the people will kill us with stones. They believe that John was a prophet of God.

bwe@Luke:20:10 @ At harvest time the owner sent one of his servants to the men who used the farm. He wanted to have some fruit from the farm. But the men beat the servant and sent him away without any fruit.

bwe@Luke:20:12 @ He sent a servant the third time. They hurt this one also and threw him out of the farm.

bwe@Luke:20:15 @ They dragged him off the farm and killed him. What will the man who owned the farm do to them?

bwe@Luke:20:21 @ So they asked Jesus, Teacher, we know that you talk and teach what is right. You do not fear any person. But you teach the true way of God.

bwe@Luke:20:24 @ So he said, Show me a piece of money. Whose picture and name are on it? They said, Caesars

bwe@Luke:20:26 @ They were not able to catch him in anything he said in front of the people. They were surprised at his answer and they could not say anything.

bwe@Luke:20:27 @ Some of the Sadducees came to Jesus. (They say that people do not rise from death.)

bwe@Luke:20:32 @ Last of all, the woman died also.

bwe@Luke:20:33 @ Now then, when people rise from death, whose wife will she be? All seven of them had married her.

bwe@Luke:20:37 @ Even Moses showed that people do rise from death. It is in his book where we read about the small tree which burned. Moses says that the Lord is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

bwe@Luke:20:38 @ He is not the God of dead people, but of living people. All people are alive to him.

bwe@Luke:20:39 @ Some of the scribes said to him, Teacher, what you say is right.

bwe@Luke:20:43 @ David himself says in the book of the Psalms, "The LORD said to my Lord, sit beside me until I make you master over your enemies."

bwe@Luke:20:47 @ They take away the homes of women whose husbands are dead. They cover up their wrong ways by talking to God a long time. They will be punished more!

bwe@Luke:21:2 @ And he saw a poor woman whose husband was dead. She put in two small pieces of money.

bwe@Luke:21:4 @ All these people had plenty of money and they gave only a part of it. She was poor and she gave everything she had. She has nothing left to live on.

bwe@Luke:21:6 @ Jesus said, You see these things. Not one stone here will be left on top of another. They will all be thrown down!

bwe@Luke:21:16 @ Even your parents, brothers, family people, and friends will give you over to trouble. They will kill some of you.

bwe@Luke:21:22 @ Those will be days of punishment. All that has been written in the holy writings must happen.

bwe@Luke:21:24 @ They will be killed by swords or long knives. They will be taken away as prisoners to every country. Jerusalem will be broken down by people who are not Jews. They will walk over it until the end of their allowed time.

bwe@Luke:21:25 @ There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And there will be much trouble for the people on earth. They will not know what to do. It will be like the sound of big waves of the sea.

bwe@Luke:21:26 @ Men will be weak with fear. They will be afraid of the things that will be happening to the world. The powers in the sky will be shaken.

bwe@Luke:21:27 @ Then people will see the sign of the Son of Man in a cloud. He will have much power and will be very great.

bwe@Luke:21:30 @ As soon as you see the leaves coming, you know that it will soon be the warm time of the year.

bwe@Luke:21:31 @ It is the same way when you see all these things happening. You will know that the kingdom of God is near.

bwe@Luke:21:36 @ Watch all the time. Ask God to make you strong to do right so that you will not go through all these things that are going to happen. Ask him to make you able to stand in front of the Son of Man.

bwe@Luke:21:37 @ Jesus taught in the temple every day. But at night he went out and stayed on the hill called the Mount of Olives.

bwe@Luke:22:3 @ Satan came into the heart of Judas. Judas was one of the twelve disciples. His other name was Iscariot.

bwe@Luke:22:7 @ It was the day of the feast with bread that has no yeast in it. The sheep had to be killed for the Passover Feast,

bwe@Luke:22:10 @ He said, When you go into the city, a man carrying a pot of water will meet you. Follow him into the house where he goes.

bwe@Luke:22:11 @ Tell the master of the house, "The Teacher says, Where is the room where I can eat the Passover Feast with my disciples?"

bwe@Luke:22:16 @ I tell you this. I will not eat it again until the great feast in the kingdom of God.

bwe@Luke:22:17 @ He took the cup and thanked God. He said, Take this. All of you drink from this.

bwe@Luke:22:18 @ I tell you this. I will not drink from the fruit of the vine again until the kingdom of God comes.

bwe@Luke:22:22 @ The Son of Man will go on as it was planned for him. But the man who gives him over will have trouble!

bwe@Luke:22:23 @ The disciples began to ask each other, Which of us will do this?

bwe@Luke:22:24 @ They started to quarrel among themselves about which of them was the greatest person.

bwe@Luke:22:25 @ Jesus said to them, The kings of countries make their people obey them. Those who rule give themselves a good name.

bwe@Luke:22:30 @ You will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. You will sit on chief chairs or thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

bwe@Luke:22:31 @ Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has asked to have all of you. He wants to shake you like grain with the cleaning fan.

bwe@Luke:22:37 @ The holy writings say, "He was counted as one of the bad people." And I tell you, that means me. And the things that are written about me must happen to me.

bwe@Luke:22:39 @ Then Jesus went out of the room and went to the hill called the Mount of Olives where he often went. His disciples went with him.

bwe@Luke:22:44 @ His heart was troubled very much. So he talked with God more than before. His sweat was like big drops of blood falling on the ground.

bwe@Luke:22:47 @ As Jesus was saying this, many men came. One of the twelve disciples, named Judas, was leading the people. He came near Jesus to kiss him.

bwe@Luke:22:48 @ Jesus said to him, Judas, will you give over the Son of Man to his enemies with a kiss?

bwe@Luke:22:50 @ One of them hit the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

bwe@Luke:22:52 @ The chief priests, the captains of the temple, and the leaders of the people had come to catch Jesus. He said to them, Have you come to take me with swords and sticks, the way you catch a man who steals?

bwe@Luke:22:53 @ I was with you every day in the temple. You did not try to catch me then. But this is your time now, the time of the power of darkness.

bwe@Luke:22:58 @ After a while, another person saw him and said, You are one of them also. But Peter said, Man, I am not.

bwe@Luke:22:63 @ The men who guarded Jesus made fun of him and beat him.

bwe@Luke:22:66 @ In the morning the leaders of the people, the chief priests and scribes met together. They took Jesus to their court.

bwe@Luke:22:69 @ From this time on the Son of Man will sit beside God who has all power.

bwe@Luke:22:70 @ They all said, Then are you the Son of God?" He said, Yes, I am.

bwe@Luke:22:71 @ They said, We do not need any more proof against him. We ourselves have heard what he said.

bwe@Luke:23:3 @ Then Pilate asked Jesus, Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus answered, Yes, I am.

bwe@Luke:23:5 @ But they said all the more, He troubles the people by his teaching. He has been teaching people in all the country of Judea. He began in Galilee and has come as far as this city.

bwe@Luke:23:11 @ Then Herod and his soldiers laughed at Jesus and made fun of him. He dressed him up in very fine clothes and sent him back to Pilate.

bwe@Luke:23:14 @ He said to them, You brought this man to me. You said he is leading your people to do wrong. I have asked questions here in front of you. I have found nothing wrong in this man.

bwe@Luke:23:26 @ They took Jesus away. On the way, they caught a man who was coming in from the farms. His name was Simon. He was born in the country of Cyrene. They made him walk behind Jesus and carry his cross.

bwe@Luke:23:28 @ But Jesus turned to them and said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not cry for me. But cry for yourselves and for your children.

bwe@Luke:23:33 @ They came to the place called Calvary (the head bone.) There they nailed the two bad men to the crosses also. They put one man on the right side of Jesus and one man on the left side of him.

bwe@Luke:23:35 @ The people stood around watching. But the rulers made fun of him. They said, He saved other people. He should save himself if he is Gods Christ, Gods chosen one!

bwe@Luke:23:36 @ The soldiers made fun of him. They came and brought him wine to drink.

bwe@Luke:23:37 @ They said, If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!

bwe@Luke:23:38 @ The sign that was put above Jesus head said, This is the King of the Jews.

bwe@Luke:23:39 @ One of the bad men who was hanging there said wrong things against Jesus. He said If you are the Christ, why do you not save yourself and us?

bwe@Luke:23:43 @ And Jesus said to him, I tell you the truth. Today you will be with me in Gods garden of paradise.

bwe@Luke:23:49 @ All Jesus friends and the women who had come with him from Galilee stood far away. They saw all of this.

bwe@Luke:23:50 @ There was a man named Joseph. He was a member of the court. He was a good man who lived the right way.

bwe@Luke:23:51 @ He had not wanted the people to do what they did. He was looking for the kingdom of God. He was from a town of the Jews, called Arimathea.

bwe@Luke:23:52 @ He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

bwe@Luke:23:56 @ Then they went back and got things ready to put on his body. These things were spices that smelled very nice, and sweet kinds of oil. On the Sabbath day they rested as the law said they should.

bwe@Luke:24:1 @ On the first day of the week, early in the morning, the women went to the grave. They took with them the things they had made ready.

bwe@Luke:24:3 @ So they went in. But they did not see the body of the Lord Jesus.

bwe@Luke:24:7 @ He said that the Son of Man would be given over to bad men. He would be nailed to a cross, and he would rise on the third day.

bwe@Luke:24:10 @ The women who told these things to the apostles were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women who were with them.

bwe@Luke:24:12 @ That same day, two of the disciples were going to the town called Emmaus. It was about two hours walk from Jerusalem.

bwe@Luke:24:17 @ One of them named Cleophas answered him. He said, Are you a stranger in Jerusalem and do not know what has happened there these last days?

bwe@Luke:24:18 @ Jesus said, What things?" They said, All that has happened to Jesus of Nazareth. He was a prophet of God. He had power to do big works and to teach the people. He was respected by God and all the people.

bwe@Luke:24:20 @ But we were hoping that he was the one who would free the people of Israel. But that is not all. This is the third day since they did it.

bwe@Luke:24:21 @ Some of our women told us things that surprised us. Early this morning they were at the grave.

bwe@Luke:24:23 @ Some of us went to the grave. And they found everything just as the women said. But they did not see Jesus.

bwe@Luke:24:24 @ Then he said to them, You foolish men! Your hearts are slow to believe all that the prophets of God have said long ago.

bwe@Luke:24:26 @ Then he told them the meaning of all that Moses and all the prophets of God long ago had written about him.

bwe@Luke:24:31 @ They said to each other, It was like a fire burning in our hearts when he talked to us on the road and told us the meaning of the holy writings!

bwe@Luke:24:39 @ They gave him a piece of cooked fish.

bwe@Luke:24:40 @ He took the fish and ate it in front of them.

bwe@Luke:24:41 @ Then he said, I told you this while I was with you. I told you that things were written about me in the books of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms. And I told you that all of these things must come true.

bwe@Luke:24:46 @ I will send you what the Father has promised to give you. So wait in the city of Jerusalem until you have been given power from God.

bwe@Luke:24:47 @ Jesus led the disciples out as far as the town of Bethany. He put up his hands and blessed them.

bwe@John:1:12 @ But there were people who did believe in his name. They did receive him. He gave all those who received him and believed him the right to become children of God.

bwe@John:1:14 @ The Word became man and he lived among us. We saw with our own eyes that he is great. He is great the way God the Father made his only Son great. We saw that he is full of loving kindness and truth.

bwe@John:1:16 @ He was full of loving kindness, and we have all received so much kindness from him.

bwe@John:1:19 @ The leaders of the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem. They asked John, Who are you? John told them.

bwe@John:1:23 @ John said, I am a voice calling in the desert, "Make the road straight for the Lord." This is what was said by Isaiah, the prophet of God long ago.

bwe@John:1:28 @ The place where John was baptizing was Bethany on the other side of the Jordan River.

bwe@John:1:29 @ The next day John saw Jesus coming to him. Look, said John. See Gods special Lamb! He takes away the wrong ways of the world.

bwe@John:1:31 @ I myself did not know who he was. But I came and baptized people in water so that the people of Israel would know who he was.

bwe@John:1:34 @ I saw the Spirit coming on him, and I have told you. This man is the Son of God.

bwe@John:1:35 @ The next day, John was standing with two of his followers.

bwe@John:1:39 @ Jesus said, Come and see. They went and saw the place where Jesus was staying. The time was about four oclock in the afternoon. They stayed with Jesus the rest of the day.

bwe@John:1:40 @ Andrew was one of those two followers of John who heard John speak and went after Jesus. He was Simon Peters brother.

bwe@John:1:41 @ The first thing Andrew did then was to find his brother Simon. He said, We have found the Messiah! (Messiah means the Christ, the messenger of God.)

bwe@John:1:42 @ Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, You are Simon, the son of John. Your name will be Cephas. (Cephas means Peter, a rock or stone.)

bwe@John:1:44 @ Philip was from the town of Bethsaida. Andrew and Peter were also from that town.

bwe@John:1:45 @ Philip went to find Nathanael. He said We have found the man about whom Moses wrote in the books of the law. The prophets also wrote about him. He is Jesus, from Nazareth. He is the son of Joseph.

bwe@John:1:47 @ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him. He said, Here is a man who is truly of Israel. He does not fool people.

bwe@John:1:49 @ Nathanael said, Teacher, you are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel.

bwe@John:1:51 @ I tell you the truth, said Jesus. You will see heaven open. You will see Gods angels going up and down to the Son of Man.

bwe@John:2:1 @ Two days later there was a wedding in the town of Cana in the country of Galilee. Jesus mother was there.

bwe@John:2:6 @ Six very large water pots made of stone were standing there. The pots were there because the Jews had a certain law about washing themselves.

bwe@John:2:8 @ Jesus said, Now take some out. Carry it to the one in charge of the feast. They did what he said.

bwe@John:2:9 @ The man in charge of the feast tasted the water that was now turned into wine. He did not know where it came from, but the servants who drew the water knew. When the man had tasted it, he called the man who was being married.

bwe@John:2:10 @ He said, Other people give the good wine at the beginning of the feast. When people have had all they want, then they give the wine which is not so good. But you have kept the good wine until now.

bwe@John:2:13 @ The time for the Passover Feast of the Jews was near. So Jesus went to Jerusalem.

bwe@John:2:15 @ Jesus tied some pieces of cord together to make a whip. Then he drove out all the people who were buying and selling in the temple. And he drove out the sheep and the cows. He threw down the tables of the money changers and their money.

bwe@John:2:16 @ He said to the people who sold doves, Take these things out of here. Do not make my Fathers house into a market place.

bwe@John:2:18 @ The leaders of the Jews said to Jesus, Who gave you the right to do this? What big work will prove it to us?

bwe@John:3:1 @ There was a man named Nicodemus. He was a Pharisee, a ruler and leader of the Jews.

bwe@John:3:4 @ Nicodemus said, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he go inside of his mother again and be born?

bwe@John:3:6 @ That which is born of a person is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

bwe@John:3:8 @ The wind blows where it wants to blow. You can hear the sound of it. But you do not know where it comes from, and you do not know where it goes. It is the same way with everyone who is born of the Spirit.

bwe@John:3:10 @ Jesus answered, Are you a teacher of the people of Israel and you do not know this?

bwe@John:3:13 @ No one has ever gone up to heaven-only the One who came down from heaven. That One is the Son of Man who is in heaven.

bwe@John:3:14 @ Moses lifted up a snake on a piece of wood in the desert. So the Son of Man must be lifted up.

bwe@John:3:18 @ Everyone who believes in the Son will not be judged. But everyone who does not believe in him is judged already, because he does not believe in the name of Gods only Son.

bwe@John:3:22 @ After this, Jesus and his disciples came into the country of Judea. Jesus stayed there with them and baptized people.

bwe@John:3:23 @ John was also baptizing people in the river at Aenon, near the town of Salim. There was much water. People came to him and were baptized.

bwe@John:3:25 @ Johns disciples and the leaders of the Jews were talking about how to be clean, the way God wants us to be clean.

bwe@John:3:26 @ They came to John and said, Teacher, there was a man with you on the other side of the Jordan River. You were telling people about him. Now he himself is baptizing and all the people are going to him.

bwe@John:3:28 @ You yourselves heard what I said. I am not the Christ but I have been sent ahead of the Christ.

bwe@John:3:31 @ The one who comes from heaven is greater than all other people. The one who is of the earth talks about things on earth. So the one who comes from heaven is greater than all.

bwe@John:3:34 @ The one God sent speaks the words of God. God does not give him the Spirit little by little, but he gives the Spirit in full.

bwe@John:4:3 @ He had to pass through the country of Samaria.

bwe@John:4:6 @ A woman from Samaria came to the well to draw water. Jesus said, Please give me a drink of water.

bwe@John:4:8 @ The woman said to Jesus, Why do you ask me for a drink of water? You are a Jew and I am from Samaria. (The Jews are not friends with the people of Samaria.)

bwe@John:4:9 @ Jesus answered her, You do not know what God gives people. And you do not know who is asking you for a drink. If you knew him, then it is you who would have asked for a drink of water. He would give you living water.

bwe@John:4:13 @ But anyone who drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty. The water I give him will become a well inside of him that will never be dry. It will give him life for ever.

bwe@John:4:18 @ The woman said, Sir, this shows me you are a prophet of God.

bwe@John:4:21 @ You worship one whom you do not know. But we know whom we worship. The Saviour will come of the Jews.

bwe@John:4:22 @ But the time is coming, yes, the time is here already, when those who worship God will worship him in spirit and in a true way. My Father is looking for that kind of people to worship him.

bwe@John:4:26 @ When Jesus had said this, his disciples came back. They were surprised to hear him talking to a woman. But not one of them asked, What do you want? or, Why are you talking to her?

bwe@John:4:38 @ Many of the people of the town believed in Jesus because of what the woman told them. She said, He told me everything I have done.

bwe@John:4:40 @ Many more people believed in Jesus because of his own word.

bwe@John:4:41 @ They said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of what you told us, but because of what he himself has told us. We know it is true. This is the Saviour of the world.

bwe@John:4:44 @ When he came to Galilee, the people of that country were glad to see him. They had seen all the things he did when he was at the feast in Jerusalem. They had been at the feast also.

bwe@John:4:45 @ So Jesus came back to the town of Cana in Galilee. That was the place where he had changed water into wine. One of the kings officers was there. His son was sick in the town of Capernaum.

bwe@John:4:48 @ The officer said, Sir, I beg you. Come right away before my son dies.

bwe@John:5:2 @ In Jerusalem, near the Sheep Gate, there is a wide water hole. The Jews called this water hole Bethesda. It had five places with roofs for people to stand under.

bwe@John:5:3 @ Many sick people were lying on these places. Some of them were blind. Some were lame. Some were very thin and stiff so that they could not move by themselves. All of them were waiting for the water to move.

bwe@John:5:4 @ An angel came down into the water at a certain time and made it move. The first person who stepped into the water when it moved was healed of any sickness that he had.

bwe@John:5:10 @ So the leaders of the Jews talked to the man who was healed. They said, It is the Sabbath day. It is not right for you to carry your bed.

bwe@John:5:15 @ The man went away and told the leaders of the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.

bwe@John:5:18 @ This was why the leaders of the Jews tried much more to kill Jesus. He had broken the law of the Sabbath day. And also he called God his Father. In that way, he was making himself equal with God.

bwe@John:5:22 @ My Father judges no one, but he has made his Son to be the judge of everything.

bwe@John:5:25 @ I tell you the truth. The time is coming. Yes, the time is here when the dead people will hear the voice of the Son of God. Those who hear his voice will live.

bwe@John:5:27 @ He has given his Son power also to judge because he is the Son of Man.

bwe@John:5:29 @ They will come out of the graves. Those who have done what is good will come out to live. But those who have done what is wrong will come out to be punished.

bwe@John:6:1 @ Then Jesus crossed over the sea of Galilee. (Another name for this sea was Tiberias.)

bwe@John:6:4 @ The time for the Passover Feast of the Jews was near.

bwe@John:6:8 @ One of Jesus disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, talked to Jesus.

bwe@John:6:9 @ He said, A boy here has five loaves of bread and two small fish. But what can that little bit of food do for so many people?

bwe@John:6:10 @ Jesus said, Tell the people to sit down. Much grass was there. The number of men who sat down was about five thousand.

bwe@John:6:13 @ They gathered all the pieces of the five loaves. Twelve baskets full were left over after all the people had eaten enough.

bwe@John:6:16 @ In the evening his disciples went down to the lake <FI>called the sea of Galilee<Fi>.

bwe@John:6:17 @ They got in a boat and crossed over the sea toward the town of Capernaum. It was dark, but Jesus had not come back to them.

bwe@John:6:19 @ They rowed the boat into the middle of the lake. Then they saw Jesus walking on the water. He came close to the boat. They were afraid.

bwe@John:6:25 @ When they found Jesus on the other side of the lake, they said, Teacher, when did you get here?

bwe@John:6:27 @ Do not work for the food that spoils, but work for the food that will never spoil, the food that will give you life for ever. The Son of Man will give you that food. God my Father has chosen him to do that.

bwe@John:6:41 @ The leaders of the Jews did not like Jesus to say, I am the bread that has come down from heaven.

bwe@John:6:52 @ The leaders of the Jews began to quarrel with each other about what Jesus said. They said, How can he give us himself to eat?

bwe@John:6:53 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. If you do not eat the Son of Man and do not drink his blood, you will not have life.

bwe@John:6:57 @ My Father is living. He sent me. I have my life from him. In the same way, the person who eats of me will live because of me.

bwe@John:6:60 @ Many of his disciples heard it. They said, This is a hard teaching. Who can listen to it?

bwe@John:6:62 @ What would you do if you saw the Son of Man go up to the place where he came from?

bwe@John:6:64 @ But even so, some of you do not believe me. Jesus knew right from the beginning which ones of them would not believe. He knew who was going to give him over to people who hated him.

bwe@John:6:66 @ After that, many of the followers of Jesus left him and stopped travelling around with him.

bwe@John:6:69 @ We believe now, and we know it is true. You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

bwe@John:6:70 @ Jesus said to them, Did I not choose you twelve? And one of you is a devil!

bwe@John:6:71 @ Jesus was talking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. Judas was the one who was going to give him over to people who hated him. Judas was one of these twelve disciples.

bwe@John:7:1 @ After this, Jesus travelled around in Galilee. He would not travel around in Judea because the leaders of the Jews wanted to kill him.

bwe@John:7:7 @ The people of the world cannot hate you. But they hate me because I say what they do is wrong.

bwe@John:7:11 @ The leaders of the Jews at the feast tried to find him. They said, Where is he?

bwe@John:7:13 @ But they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, so no one talked about him out in the open.

bwe@John:7:16 @ Jesus answered the people, I am not teaching you my teaching. It is the teaching of the one who sent me.

bwe@John:7:19 @ Did not Moses give you the law? Not one of you is keeping the law. Why are you trying to kill me?

bwe@John:7:22 @ Moses gave you the law of circumcision. You obey the law, not because it came from Moses, but because it came from the fathers long ago. You circumcise a baby boy on the Sabbath day.

bwe@John:7:23 @ You do it on the Sabbath day so that you will not break the law of Moses. If you do that, then why are you angry with me because I healed a man on the Sabbath day?

bwe@John:7:31 @ Many of the people believed in Jesus. They said, When Christ comes, will he do greater works than this man has done?

bwe@John:7:37 @ The last day of the feast was a big day. On that day Jesus stood up and shouted, If anyone is thirsty, he may come to me and drink.

bwe@John:7:38 @ If anyone believes in me, the holy writings say, "Rivers of water that give life will flow out of his heart."

bwe@John:7:40 @ When some of the people heard this they said, Truly, this is the Prophet.

bwe@John:7:41 @ Other people said, This is the Christ. But some said, The Christ will not come from Galilee. Shall Christ come out of Galilee?

bwe@John:7:42 @ Do not the holy writings say that Christ will be of Davids family? Will he not come from Bethlehem where David lived?

bwe@John:7:44 @ Some of them wanted to catch Jesus, but no one put hands on him.

bwe@John:7:48 @ None of the rulers and none of the Pharisees have believed on him, have they?

bwe@John:7:50 @ Nicodemus, the man who came to Jesus by night, was one of them.

bwe@John:7:53 @ Then every one of them went home.

bwe@John:8:1 @ Then Jesus went to the hill called the Mount of Olives.

bwe@John:8:3 @ The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman to Jesus. They had caught her having sex with a man who was not her husband. They made the woman stand in front of them.

bwe@John:8:5 @ The law of Moses tells us that the people who do that should be killed with stones. What do you say?

bwe@John:8:9 @ When the people heard what he said, they went out, one by one. The oldest one went out first. Jesus was left alone with the woman in front of him.

bwe@John:8:12 @ Then Jesus talked to the people in the temple. He said, I am the Light of the world. The one who comes with me will never walk in the dark, but he will have light that gives life.

bwe@John:8:28 @ So Jesus said, When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he. You will know that I do nothing by my own power, but I talk the way my Father taught me.

bwe@John:8:34 @ Jesus answered them, I tell you the truth. People who do wrong things are not free. They become a slave of the wrong things they do.

bwe@John:8:41 @ You are doing your fathers work. Then they said to him, We were not born of an unmarried woman. God is the Father of us all.

bwe@John:8:46 @ Which one of you can prove that what I have done is bad? I tell you what is true. Why then do you not believe me?

bwe@John:8:48 @ The leaders of the Jews answered him, We say what is true. We say that you come from Samaria. And we say that a bad spirit is in you.

bwe@John:8:52 @ The leaders of the Jews said to him, Now we know it is true that a bad spirit is in you. Abraham died. So did the prophets. And yet you say, "If anyone obeys my word, he will never die."

bwe@John:8:53 @ Are you greater than our father Abraham and the prophets of God who died long ago? Who do you make yourself out to be?

bwe@John:8:59 @ Then they picked up stones to throw at him. But Jesus got out of their way. He left the temple and they did not know where he went.

bwe@John:9:1 @ On his way out of the temple Jesus saw a man who had been born blind.

bwe@John:9:2 @ His disciples asked Jesus, Master, was this man born blind because of the wrong things he did, or was it the wrong things his parents did?

bwe@John:9:5 @ As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.

bwe@John:9:6 @ When Jesus had said this, he spat on the ground. Then he put some of the wet dirt on the mans eyes.

bwe@John:9:16 @ Then some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God. He does not obey the Sabbath day law. The others said, But how can a bad man do such a big work? So the Pharisees did not agree together in what they thought about Jesus.

bwe@John:9:18 @ But the leaders of the Jews did not really believe what they heard about the man. They did not believe that first he had been blind and now was able to see. So they called the parents of the man who could now see.

bwe@John:9:22 @ The parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. They knew that the leaders of the Jews had already agreed that if anyone said Jesus is the Christ, they would be put out of the meeting place.

bwe@John:9:28 @ This made them angry. They said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

bwe@John:9:32 @ Before this, no one has ever healed a man who was born blind. Such a thing has not been heard of since the world was made.

bwe@John:9:34 @ They answered, You have been a bad man ever since you were born! Now are you trying to teach us? And with that they put him out of the meeting place.

bwe@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that the people had put him out. When he found him, he said, Do you believe in the Son of God?

bwe@John:9:36 @ He answered, Sir, who is the Son of God? Tell me, so that I may believe in him.

bwe@John:9:37 @ Jesus said, You have already seen him. The person who is talking to you now, he is the Son of God.

bwe@John:9:38 @ The man said, Sir, I do believe. He kneeled down in front of Jesus and worshipped him.

bwe@John:9:40 @ Some of the Pharisees were with Jesus and heard him say this. They asked him, You mean to say that we are blind also?

bwe@John:10:2 @ But the man who comes in through the door, he is the one who takes care of the sheep.

bwe@John:10:4 @ When all his own sheep are out of the house, he goes ahead of them. The sheep come behind him because they know his voice.

bwe@John:10:5 @ They will not go after a stranger. They will run away from him because they do not know the voice of strangers.

bwe@John:10:7 @ So Jesus told them again. He said, I tell you the truth. I am the door of the sheep house.

bwe@John:10:16 @ I have some other sheep which are not with these sheep. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice. Then all the sheep will be together and there will be one person who cares for all of them.

bwe@John:10:19 @ The Jews did not all say the same thing because of what Jesus said.

bwe@John:10:20 @ Many of them said, A bad spirit is in him. He is crazy. Why do you listen to him?

bwe@John:10:22 @ At that time there was a feast in Jerusalem at the temple. It was the cold time of the year.

bwe@John:10:23 @ Jesus was walking in that part of the temple called Solomons resting place.

bwe@John:10:28 @ I give them life that lasts for ever. They will never die. No one will take them out of my hand.

bwe@John:10:29 @ My Father gave the sheep to me. He is greater than anyone else. No one is able to take them out of my Fathers hand.

bwe@John:10:31 @ Then the leaders of the Jews picked up stones again to kill him.

bwe@John:10:32 @ So Jesus said to them, I have done many good things that come from my Father. For which one of those are you going to kill me?

bwe@John:10:36 @ Nothing can change the words in the holy writings. It is written that God spoke to men and that he called them gods. So he called some men gods. Then why do you say I do not respect God when I say that I am the Son of God? I am the one God chose and sent into the world.

bwe@John:10:39 @ Because of what he said, they tried to catch Jesus again. But he got away from them.

bwe@John:10:40 @ He went away again to the other side of the Jordan River. He went to the place where John <FI>the Baptizer<Fi> was when he first baptized people. Jesus stayed there for a while.

bwe@John:11:1 @ A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived at Bethany, the home of Mary and her sister Martha.

bwe@John:11:27 @ She said, Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ. I believe that you are the Son of God who was to come into the world.

bwe@John:11:37 @ Then some of them said, This man made the blind see. Could he not have saved Lazarus from dying?

bwe@John:11:38 @ Jesus heart was troubled very much again. Then he came to the grave. It was a hole in the side of a large rock. A stone covered the hole.

bwe@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, Take the stone away. Martha, the sister of the dead man, said, Lord, he will smell bad by this time. He has been dead four days already.

bwe@John:11:44 @ Out came the dead man! The cloth that they had buried him in was tied around his hands and feet. Another small cloth was tied around his face. Jesus said to the people, Take off the cloths and free him!

bwe@John:11:45 @ When they saw the things Jesus did, many of the Jews who had come with Mary believed on Him.

bwe@John:11:46 @ But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

bwe@John:11:49 @ One of them, Caiaphas, was high priest that year. He said to them, You know nothing.

bwe@John:11:52 @ Jesus would die, not only for those people, but he would gather together all of Gods people who are out in different places.

bwe@John:11:54 @ That is why Jesus did not go among the Jews in the open. But he went to another part of the country, to a town called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.

bwe@John:11:55 @ The time for the Passover Feast of the Jews was near. Many people from all around the country went to Jerusalem. They had to make themselves clean according to the law before the Passover Feast.

bwe@John:12:2 @ The people made supper for Jesus. Martha helped give food for the people, and Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Jesus.

bwe@John:12:3 @ Mary had a jar of oil. It smelled very nice and cost much money. She put some of it on Jesus feet. Then she wiped his feet with her hair. The smell of oil went all through the house.

bwe@John:12:4 @ Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, was there. He was one of the disciples, the one who was going to give Jesus over to the people who hated him.

bwe@John:12:6 @ Judas did not say this because he cared for poor people. But he used to steal. He carried the disciples money bag and he used to take money out of the bag for himself.

bwe@John:12:9 @ Many of the Jews knew that Jesus was at Bethany. So they came because Jesus was there. But they also came to see Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from death.

bwe@John:12:11 @ Many of the Jews left the priests and believed in Jesus, because of Lazarus.

bwe@John:12:13 @ So they took branches of palm trees and went to meet him. They shouted, Praise God! God bless the King of Israel! He is coming in the name of the Lord!

bwe@John:12:15 @ Do not fear, people of Jerusalem. Your King is coming. He will be riding on a young donkey.

bwe@John:12:17 @ Many people were with Jesus when he called Lazarus out of the grave and raised him from death. They had talked about what he did.

bwe@John:12:20 @ Some of the people who came to worship God at the feast were Greek people.

bwe@John:12:23 @ Jesus said, The time has come when the Son of Man will be made great.

bwe@John:12:24 @ I tell you the truth. If a seed of grain is not put in the ground to die, it will be only a seed. But if it dies, it will bear many seeds.

bwe@John:12:27 @ Now my heart is very sad. Shall I say, "Father, save me from this time of trouble"? No, I have come to this time just so that I might go through it.

bwe@John:12:31 @ It is time now for the world to be judged. The ruler of this world will be put out.

bwe@John:12:34 @ The people answered him, Our law book tells us that Christ will stay here for ever. Why do you say, "The Son of Man will be raised up from the earth"? Tell us who this Son of Man is.

bwe@John:12:38 @ What the prophet Isaiah said came true. He said, Lord, who has believed what we told them? Who has believed even though they have seen the power of Gods hand?

bwe@John:12:42 @ Some of the chief rulers believed in Jesus, but they did not tell anyone that they believed in him. They were afraid the Pharisees would put them out of the meeting place.

bwe@John:12:43 @ They wanted the praise of men more than the praise of God.

bwe@John:13:2 @ He and his disciples were eating together. The devil had already put it into Judas heart to give Jesus over to people who hated him. (Judas was the son of Simon Iscariot.)

bwe@John:13:4 @ Jesus stood up where he had been eating. He took off his outer clothing. And he took a towel and tied it around him.

bwe@John:13:10 @ Jesus said, A person who has bathed himself needs to wash his feet only. He is all clean. You are clean, but not all of you.

bwe@John:13:18 @ I am not talking about all of you but I know the people I have chosen. So Gods word comes true. The holy writings say, "He who is eating my bread has turned against me."

bwe@John:13:21 @ When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in his heart. He said, I tell you the truth. One of you will give me over to people who hate me.

bwe@John:13:22 @ The disciples looked at one another. They did not know which one of them Jesus was talking about.

bwe@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered, I will put a piece of bread in the dish. Then I will give it to that one. He put in the bread, then he took it and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

bwe@John:13:31 @ When he had gone out, Jesus said, Now the Son of Man is very great. And he has made Gods name great.

bwe@John:14:13 @ I will do anything you ask of my Father in my name. In that way the Son will make my Fathers name great.

bwe@John:14:17 @ He will send you the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive the true Spirit because it does not see or know him. You know him because he is with you and will be in you.

bwe@John:14:22 @ Judas (not Iscariot) said to Jesus, Lord, how are you going to make yourself real to us, and not to the rest of the world?

bwe@John:14:26 @ But the Holy Spirit is the one who will help you. My Father will send him in my name. He will teach you everything that I have said to you. His Helper will remind you of all that I said.

bwe@John:14:27 @ Peace is what I leave for you. I give you my own peace. People of the world also say, "Peace" to you. I do not say it as they say it. Do not let anything trouble your hearts. Do not fear.

bwe@John:14:30 @ After this I will not talk much with you. The ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me.

bwe@John:14:31 @ I will do what my Father tells me to do so that the people of the world may know that I love my Father. Get up now! We must go.

bwe@John:15:1 @ I am the real fruit tree. My Father is the One who takes care of the tree.

bwe@John:15:6 @ If any person is not in me, he is cut off like a branch and dies. People gather the dry branches and throw them into the fire to be burned.

bwe@John:15:19 @ If you belonged to this world, the world would love you. But you do not belong to the world. I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

bwe@John:15:25 @ This has happened in order to make the words of their law book come true. It says, "They hated me for no reason."

bwe@John:16:2 @ The people will put you out of the meeting place. Yes, the time is coming when someone will kill you and think he is working for God.

bwe@John:16:5 @ But now I am going back to him who sent me here. Yet not one of you is asking me, "Where are you going?"

bwe@John:16:8 @ When the Helper comes, he will prove this to the people of the world that they are wrong. They are wrong about what they call bad and about what they call good. He will show them how to be right with God. He will show them about Gods judgement.

bwe@John:16:11 @ He will show them how to judge right, because the ruler of this world himself will be judged.

bwe@John:16:17 @ Some of the disciples talked among themselves and said, He says, "Very soon now, you will not see me. A little while after that, you will see me." And he says, "Because I go to my Father." What does he mean by "a little while"?

bwe@John:17:9 @ It is these men I am asking you for. I am not asking you for the people of the world. But I am asking for those you gave me, because they belong to you.

bwe@John:17:12 @ While I was with them, I took care of them in your name, which you gave me. I have taken care of them. Only one of them is lost. That is the one who was born to be lost. What your book says came true.

bwe@John:17:15 @ I do not ask you to take them out of the world. But I ask you to take care of them, so that the evil one of this world will not harm them.

bwe@John:18:2 @ Jesus had gone to this place often with his disciples, so Judas knew where the place was. He was the one who gave Jesus over to the people who hated him.

bwe@John:18:9 @ So his words came true. He had said, I did not lose one of those you gave me.

bwe@John:18:10 @ Simon Peter had a long knife or sword. He took it out and hit the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. The servants name was Malchus.

bwe@John:18:13 @ First they took him to Annas. He was the father of Caiaphas wife. Caiaphas was the high priest that year.

bwe@John:18:14 @ This was the same Caiaphas that had talked to the leaders of the Jews. He had said, It is better for one man to die for the people.

bwe@John:18:15 @ Simon Peter and one other disciple went after Jesus. The other disciple knew the high priest, so he went right in with Jesus through the gate of the high priests large house.

bwe@John:18:17 @ The servant at the door said to Peter, Are you one of this mans disciples too? Peter said, No, I am not!

bwe@John:18:18 @ It was cold there. The servants and the officers had made a small fire. They stood by it and warmed themselves. Peter stood by the fire also and warmed himself.

bwe@John:18:22 @ When he had said this, one of the officers who stood there hit Jesus. He said, Is that the way you answer the high priest?

bwe@John:18:25 @ Simon Peter stayed by the fire and stood warming himself. So the people said to him, Are you not one of his disciples also? He said, No, I am not!

bwe@John:18:26 @ A servant was there. He was of the same family as the one whose ear Peter had cut off. He said, Did I not see you in the garden with him?

bwe@John:18:31 @ Pilate said, Take him and judge him by your own law. The leaders of the Jews said, But we are not allowed to kill anyone.

bwe@John:18:32 @ So this is the way the words of Jesus came true. He had said how he was going to die.

bwe@John:18:33 @ Then Pilate went back into the court house again. He called for Jesus and asked him, Are you the King of the Jews?

bwe@John:18:39 @ But at the Passover Feast you always want me to let one prisoner go free for you. Do you want me to let the King of the Jews go free?

bwe@John:19:2 @ The soldiers made a big ring of thorns like a crown and put it on Jesus head. They put a red gown on him.

bwe@John:19:3 @ They said, Greetings, King of the Jews! They beat him with their hands.

bwe@John:19:5 @ Then Jesus came out. He had the crown of thorns on his head and had the red gown on him. Pilate said, Here is the man!

bwe@John:19:6 @ When the chief priests and the officers saw Jesus, they shouted, Nail him to a cross! Nail him to a cross! Pilate said to them, You take him and nail him to a cross. I find nothing wrong in him.

bwe@John:19:7 @ The leaders of the Jews answered him, We have a law. That law says he should die, because he calls himself the Son of God. When Pilate heard what they said, he was very much afraid.

bwe@John:19:13 @ When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out. Then Pilate sat on the bench where the judge sits. The place was called the Street of Stone. The Jews called it Gabbatha.

bwe@John:19:14 @ It was about the middle of the day before the Passover Feast. Pilate said to the Jews, See, here is your King!

bwe@John:19:17 @ They took Jesus and led him away. Jesus went out carrying his own cross. They went to a place which the Jews called Golgotha. That means the place of the skull bone.

bwe@John:19:18 @ There they nailed Jesus to the cross. Two other people were also nailed to crosses. One was put on each side of Jesus. Jesus was put in the centre.

bwe@John:19:19 @ Pilate wrote a sign and put it on the cross. He wrote, Jesus from Nazareth, the King of the Jews.

bwe@John:19:20 @ Many of the Jews read this sign. The place where Jesus was nailed to a cross was near the city. The sign was written in the Jewish, Greek, and Latin languages.

bwe@John:19:21 @ Then the chief priests among the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, "The King of the Jews," but write, "This man said he is King of the Jews."

bwe@John:19:25 @ Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mothers sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
