wmth@Matthew:1:1 @ The Genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

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

wmth@Matthew:1:3 @ Judah was the father (by Tamar) of Perez and Zerah; Perez of Hezron; Hezron of Ram;

wmth@Matthew:1:5 @ Salmon (by Rahab) of Boaz; Boaz (by Ruth) of Obed; Obed of Jesse;

wmth@Matthew:1:6 @ Jesse of David–the King. David (by Uriah's widow) was the father of Solomon;

wmth@Matthew:1:7 @ Solomon of Rehoboam; Rehoboam of Abijah; Abijah of Asa;

wmth@Matthew:1:8 @ Asa of Jehoshaphat; Jehoshaphat of Jehoram; Jehoram of Uzziah;

wmth@Matthew:1:9 @ Uzziah of Jotham; Jotham of Ahaz; Ahaz of Hezekiah;

wmth@Matthew:1:10 @ Hezekiah of Manasseh; Manasseh of Amon; Amon of Josiah;

wmth@Matthew:1:11 @ Josiah of Jeconiah and his brothers at the period of the Removal to Babylon.

wmth@Matthew:1:12 @ After the Removal to Babylon Jeconiah had a son Shealtiel; Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel;

wmth@Matthew:1:13 @ Zerubbabel of Abiud; Abiud of Eliakim; Eliakim of Azor;

wmth@Matthew:1:14 @ Azor of Zadok; Zadok of Achim; Achim of Eliud;

wmth@Matthew:1:15 @ Eliud of Eleazar; Eleazar of Matthan; Matthan of Jacob;

wmth@Matthew:1:16 @ and Jacob of Joseph the husband of Mary, who was the mother of JESUS who is called CHRIST.

wmth@Matthew:1:18 @ The circumstances of the birth of Jesus Christ were these. After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they were united in marriage, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.

wmth@Matthew:1:20 @ But while he was contemplating this step, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, »Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to bring home your wife Mary, for she is with child through the Holy Spirit.

wmth@Matthew:1:22 @ All this took place in fulfilment of what the Lord had spoken through the Prophet,

wmth@Matthew:1:24 @ When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded, and brought home his wife,

wmth@Matthew:2:1 @ Now after the birth of Jesus, which took place at Bethlehem in Judaea in the reign of King Herod, excitement was produced in Jerusalem by the arrival of certain Magi from the east,

wmth@Matthew:2:2 @ inquiring, »Where is the newly born king of the Jews? For we have seen his Star in the east, and have come here to do him homage.«

wmth@Matthew:2:3 @ Reports of this soon reached the king, and greatly agitated not only him but all the people of Jerusalem.

wmth@Matthew:2:4 @ So he assembled all the High Priests and Scribes of the people, and anxiously asked them where the Christ was to be born.

wmth@Matthew:2:5 @ »At Bethlehem in Judaea,« they replied; »for so it stands written in the words of the Prophet,

wmth@Matthew:2:7 @ Thereupon Herod sent privately for the Magi and ascertained from them the exact time of the star's appearing.

wmth@Matthew:2:11 @ So they entered the house; and when they saw the babe with His mother Mary, they prostrated themselves and did Him homage, and opening their treasure-chests offered gifts to Him–gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

wmth@Matthew:2:13 @ When they were gone, and angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, »Rise: take the babe and His mother and escape to Egypt, and remain there till I bring you word. For Herod is about to make search for the child in order to destroy Him.«

wmth@Matthew:2:16 @ Then Herod, finding that the Magi had trifled with him, was furious, and sent and massacred all the boys under two years of age, in Bethlehem and all its neighbourhood, according to the date he had so carefully ascertained from the Magi.

wmth@Matthew:2:19 @ But after Herod's death an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, and said to him,

wmth@Matthew:2:20 @ »Rise from sleep, and take the child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child's life are dead.«

wmth@Matthew:2:21 @ So he roused himself and took the child and His mother and came into the land of Israel.

wmth@Matthew:2:22 @ But hearing that Archelaus had succeeded his father Herod on the throne of Judaea, he was afraid to go there; and being instructed by God in a dream he withdrew into Galilee,

wmth@Matthew:3:1 @ About this time John the Baptist made his appearance, preaching in the Desert of Judaea.

wmth@Matthew:3:2 @ »Repent,« he said, »for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand.«

wmth@Matthew:3:3 @ He it is who was spoken of through the Prophet Isaiah when he said,

wmth@Matthew:3:4 @ This man John wore a garment of camel's hair, and a loincloth of leather; and he lived upon locusts and wild honey.

wmth@Matthew:3:5 @ Then large numbers of people went out to him –people from Jerusalem and from all Judaea, and from the whole of the Jordan valley–

wmth@Matthew:3:6 @ and were baptized by him in the Jordan, making full confession of their sins.

wmth@Matthew:3:7 @ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he exclaimed, `O vipers' brood, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

wmth@Matthew:3:8 @ Therefore let your lives prove your change of heart;

wmth@Matthew:3:10 @ And already the axe is lying at the root of the trees, so that every tree which does not produce good fruit will quickly be hewn down and thrown into the fire.

wmth@Matthew:3:11 @ I indeed am baptizing you in water on a profession of repentance; but He who is coming after me is mightier than I: His sandals I am not worthy to carry for a moment; He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.

wmth@Matthew:3:12 @ His winnowing-shovel is in His hand, and He will make a thorough clearance of His threshing-floor, gathering His wheat into the storehouse, but burning up the chaff in unquenchable fire.«

wmth@Matthew:3:16 @ and Jesus was baptized, and immediately went up from the water. At that moment the heavens opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him,

wmth@Matthew:4:3 @ So the Tempter came and said, »If you are the Son of God, command these stones to turn into loaves.«

wmth@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the Devil took Him to the Holy City and caused Him to stand on the roof of the Temple,

wmth@Matthew:4:8 @ Then the Devil took Him to the top of an exceedingly lofty mountain, from which he caused Him to see all the Kingdoms of the world and their splendour,

wmth@Matthew:4:13 @ and leaving Nazareth He went and settled at Capernaum, a town by the Lake on the frontiers of Zebulun and Naphtali,

wmth@Matthew:4:17 @ From that time Jesus began to preach. »Repent,« He said, »for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand.«

wmth@Matthew:4:18 @ And walking along the shore of the Lake of Galilee He saw two brothers –Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew– throwing a drag-net into the Lake; for they were fishers.

wmth@Matthew:4:19 @ And He said to them, »Come and follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.«

wmth@Matthew:4:21 @ He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zabdi and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zabdi mending their nets; and He called them.

wmth@Matthew:4:23 @ Then Jesus travelled through all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity among the people.

wmth@Matthew:4:25 @ And great crowds followed Him, coming from Galilee, from the Ten Towns, from Jerusalem, and from beyond the district on the other side of the Jordan.

wmth@Matthew:5:1 @ Seeing the multitude of people, Jesus went up the Hill. There He seated Himself, and when His disciples came to Him,

wmth@Matthew:5:3 @ »Blessed are the poor in spirit, for to them belongs the Kingdom of the Heavens.«

wmth@Matthew:5:5 @ »Blessed are the meek, for they as heirs shall obtain possession of the earth.«

wmth@Matthew:5:9 @ »Blessed are the peacemakers, for it is they who will be recognized as sons of God.«

wmth@Matthew:5:10 @ »Blessed are those who have borne persecution in the cause of Righteousness, for to them belongs the Kingdom of the Heavens.«

wmth@Matthew:5:13 @ are the salt of the earth; but if salt has become tasteless, in what way can it regain its saltness? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown away and trodden on by the passers by.

wmth@Matthew:5:14 @ are the light of the world; a town cannot be hid if built on a hill-top.

wmth@Matthew:5:19 @ Whoever therefore breaks one of these least commandments and teaches others to break them, will be called the least in the Kingdom of the Heavens; but whoever practises them and teaches them, he will be acknowledged as great in the Kingdom of the Heavens.

wmth@Matthew:5:20 @ For I assure you that unless your righteousness greatly surpasses that of the Scribes and the Pharisees, you will certainly not find entrance into the Kingdom of the Heavens.

wmth@Matthew:5:22 @ But I say to you that every one who becomes angry with his brother shall be answerable to the magistrate; that whoever says to his brother `Raca,' shall be answerable to the Sanhedrin; and that whoever says, `You fool!' shall be liable to the Gehenna of Fire.

wmth@Matthew:5:23 @ If therefore when you are offering your gift upon the altar, you remember that your brother has a grievance against you,

wmth@Matthew:5:24 @ leave your gift there before the altar, and go and make friends with your brother first, and then return and proceed to offer your gift.

wmth@Matthew:5:25 @ Come to terms without delay with your opponent while you are yet with him on the way to the court; for fear he should obtain judgement from the magistrate against you, and the magistrate should give you in custody to the officer and you be thrown into prison.

wmth@Matthew:5:30 @ And if your right hand is a snare to you, cut it off and away with it; it is better for you that one member should be destroyed rather than that your whole body should go into Gehenna.

wmth@Matthew:5:32 @ But I tell you that every man who puts away his wife except on the ground of unfaithfulness causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries her when so divorced commits adultery.

wmth@Matthew:5:35 @ nor by the earth, for it is the footstool under His feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the City of the Great King.

wmth@Matthew:5:37 @ But let your language be, `Yes, yes,' or `No, no.' Anything in excess of this comes from the Evil one.

wmth@Matthew:5:40 @ If any one wishes to go to law with you and to deprive you of your under garment, let him take your outer one also.

wmth@Matthew:5:45 @ that so you may become true sons of your Father in Heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the wicked as well as the good, and sends rain upon those who do right and those who do wrong.

wmth@Matthew:6:1 @ »But beware of doing your good actions in the sight of men, in order to attract their gaze; if you do, there is no reward for you with your Father who is in Heaven.«

wmth@Matthew:6:5 @ »And when praying, you must not be like the hypocrites. They are fond of standing and praying in the synagogues or at the corners of the wider streets, in order that men may see them. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.«

wmth@Matthew:6:7 @ »And when praying, do not use needless repetitions as the Gentiles do, for they expect to be listened to because of their multitude of words.«

wmth@Matthew:6:14 @ »For if you forgive others their offences, your Heavenly Father will forgive you also;«

wmth@Matthew:6:15 @ but if you do not forgive others their offences, neither will your Father forgive yours.

wmth@Matthew:6:16 @ »When any of you fast, never assume gloomy looks as the hypocrites do; for they disfigure their faces in order that it may be evident to men that they are fasting. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.«

wmth@Matthew:6:19 @ »Do not lay up stores of wealth for yourselves on earth, where the moth and wear-and-tear destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.«

wmth@Matthew:6:22 @ »The eye is the lamp of the body. If then your eyesight is good, your whole body will be well lighted;«

wmth@Matthew:6:24 @ »No man can be the bondservant of two masters; for either he will dislike one and like the other, or he will attach himself to one and think slightingly of the other. You cannot be the bondservants both of God and of gold.«

wmth@Matthew:6:26 @ Look at the birds which fly in the air: they do not sow or reap or store up in barns, but your Heavenly Father feeds them: are not you of much greater value than they?

wmth@Matthew:6:27 @ Which of you by being over-anxious can add a single foot to his height?

wmth@Matthew:6:29 @ and yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his magnificence could array himself like one of these.

wmth@Matthew:6:30 @ And if God so clothes the wild herbage which to-day flourishes and to-morrow is thrown into the oven, is it not much more certain that He will clothe you, you men of little faith?

wmth@Matthew:6:32 @ For all these are questions that Gentiles are always asking; but your Heavenly Father knows that you need these things–all of them.

wmth@Matthew:7:4 @ Or how say to your brother, `Allow me to take the splinter out of your eye,' while the beam is in your own eye?

wmth@Matthew:7:5 @ Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to remove the splinter from your brother's eye.

wmth@Matthew:7:9 @ What man is there among you, who if his son shall ask him for bread will offer him a stone?

wmth@Matthew:7:10 @ Or if the son shall ask him for a fish will offer him a snake?

wmth@Matthew:7:15 @ »Beware of the false teachers–men who come to you in sheep's fleeces, but beneath that disguise they are ravenous wolves.«

wmth@Matthew:7:21 @ »Not every one who says to me, `Master, Master,' will enter the Kingdom of the Heavens, but only those who are obedient to my Father who is in Heaven.«

wmth@Matthew:7:23 @ And then I will tell them plainly, »`I never knew you: begone from me, you doers of wickedness.'

wmth@Matthew:8:4 @ and Jesus said to him, »Be careful to tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses appointed as evidence for them.«

wmth@Matthew:8:8 @ »Sir,« replied the Captain, »I am not a fit person to receive you under my roof: merely say the word, and my servant will be cured.

wmth@Matthew:8:11 @ And I tell you that many will come from the east and from the west and will recline at table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of the Heavens,

wmth@Matthew:8:12 @ while the natural heirs of the Kingdom will be driven out into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.«

wmth@Matthew:8:14 @ After this Jesus went to the house of Peter, whose mother-in-law he found ill in bed with fever.

wmth@Matthew:8:17 @ in order that this prediction of the Prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled,

wmth@Matthew:8:18 @ Seeing great crowds about Him Jesus had given directions to cross to the other side of the Lake,

wmth@Matthew:8:20 @ »Foxes have holes,« replied Jesus, »and birds have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.«

wmth@Matthew:8:21 @ Another of the disciples said to Him, »Sir, allow me first to go and bury my father.«

wmth@Matthew:8:26 @ »Why are you so easily frightened,« He replied, »you men of little faith?« Then He rose and reproved the winds and the waves, and there was a perfect calm;

wmth@Matthew:8:27 @ and the men, filled with amazement, exclaimed, »What kind of man is this? for the very winds and waves obey him!«

wmth@Matthew:8:28 @ On His arrival at the other side, in the country of the Gadarenes, there met Him two men possessed by demons, coming from among the tombs: they were so dangerously fierce that no one was able to pass that way.

wmth@Matthew:8:29 @ They cried aloud, »What hast Thou to do with us, Thou Son of God? Hast Thou come here to torment us before the time?«

wmth@Matthew:8:30 @ Now at some distance from them a vast herd of swine were feeding.

wmth@Matthew:8:31 @ So the demons entreated Him. »If Thou drivest us out,« they said, »send us into the herd of swine.«

wmth@Matthew:9:3 @ »Such language is impious,« said some of the Scribes among themselves.

wmth@Matthew:9:6 @ But, to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins« –He then says to the paralytic, »Rise, and take up your bed and go home.«

wmth@Matthew:9:7 @ And he got up, and went off home.

wmth@Matthew:9:9 @ Passing on thence Jesus saw a man called Matthew sitting at the Toll Office, and said to him, »Follow me.« And he arose, and followed Him.

wmth@Matthew:9:10 @ And while He was reclining at table, a large number of tax-gathers and notorious sinners were of the party with Jesus and His disciples.

wmth@Matthew:9:11 @ The Pharisees noticed this, and they inquired of His disciples, »Why does your Teacher eat with the tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?«

wmth@Matthew:9:16 @ No one ever mends an old cloak with a patch of newly woven cloth. Otherwise, the patch put on would tear away some of the old, and a worse hole would be made.

wmth@Matthew:9:18 @ While He was thus speaking, a Ruler came up and profoundly bowing said, »My daughter is just dead; but come and put your hand upon her and she will return to life.«

wmth@Matthew:9:20 @ But a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage came behind Him and touched the tassel of His cloak;

wmth@Matthew:9:24 @ and He said, »Go out of the room; the little girl is not dead, but asleep.« And they laughed at Him.

wmth@Matthew:9:25 @ When however the place was cleared of the crowd, Jesus went in, and on His taking the little girl by the hand, she rose up.

wmth@Matthew:9:26 @ And the report of this spread throughout all that district.

wmth@Matthew:9:27 @ As Jesus passed on, two blind men followed Him, shouting and saying, »Pity us, Son of David.«

wmth@Matthew:9:34 @ But the Pharisees maintained, »It is by the power of the Prince of the demons that he drives out the demons.«

wmth@Matthew:9:35 @ And Jesus continued His circuits through all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity.

wmth@Matthew:9:38 @ therefore entreat the Owner of the Harvest to send out reapers into His fields.«

wmth@Matthew:10:1 @ Then He called to Him His twelve disciples and gave them authority over foul spirits, to drive them out; and to cure every kind of disease and infirmity.

wmth@Matthew:10:2 @ Now the names of the twelve Apostles were these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James the son of Zabdi, and his brother John;

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

wmth@Matthew:10:6 @ but, instead of that, go to the lost sheep of Israel's race.

wmth@Matthew:10:7 @ And as you go, preach and say, `The Kingdom of the Heavens is close at hand.'

wmth@Matthew:10:10 @ no bag for your journey, nor change of linen, nor shoes, nor stick; for the labourer deserves his food.

wmth@Matthew:10:14 @ And whoever refuses to receive you or even to listen to your Message, as you leave that house or town, shake off the very dust from your feet.

wmth@Matthew:10:15 @ I solemnly tell you that it will be more endurable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of Judgement than for that town.

wmth@Matthew:10:16 @ »Remember it is I who am sending you out, as sheep into the midst of wolves; prove yourselves as sagacious as serpents, and as innocent as doves.«

wmth@Matthew:10:17 @ But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to appear before Sanhedrins, and will flog you in their synagogues;

wmth@Matthew:10:20 @ for it is not you who will speak: it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

wmth@Matthew:10:22 @ And you will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name; but he who holds out to the End–he will be saved.

wmth@Matthew:10:23 @ Whenever they persecute you in one town, escape to the next; for I solemnly tell you that you will not have gone the round of all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

wmth@Matthew:10:25 @ Enough for the learner to be on a level with his teacher, and for the servant to be on a level with his master. If they have called the master of the house Baal-zebul, how much more will they slander his servants?

wmth@Matthew:10:27 @ What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what is whispered into your ear, proclaim upon the roofs of the houses.

wmth@Matthew:10:29 @ Do not two sparrows sell for a halfpenny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's leave.

wmth@Matthew:10:31 @ Away then with fear; you are more precious than a multitude of sparrows.

wmth@Matthew:10:37 @ Any one who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and any one who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;

wmth@Matthew:10:38 @ and any one who does not take up his cross and follow where I lead is not worthy of me.

wmth@Matthew:10:42 @ And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, I solemnly tell you that he will not lose his reward.«

wmth@Matthew:11:2 @ Now John had heard in prison about the Christ's doings, and he sent some of his disciples to inquire:

wmth@Matthew:11:6 @ and blessed is every one who does not stumble and fall because of my claims.«

wmth@Matthew:11:10 @ This is he of whom it is written, «

wmth@Matthew:11:11 @ »I solemnly tell you that among all of woman born no greater has ever been raised up than John the Baptist; yet one who is of lower rank in the Kingdom of the Heavens is greater than he.«

wmth@Matthew:11:12 @ But from the time of John the Baptist till now, the Kingdom of the Heavens has been suffering violent assault, and the violent have been seizing it by force.

wmth@Matthew:11:19 @ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they exclaim, `See this man! –given to gluttony and tippling, and a friend of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners!' And yet Wisdom is vindicated by her actions.«

wmth@Matthew:11:20 @ Then began He to upbraid the towns where most of His mighty works had been done–because they had not repented.

wmth@Matthew:11:21 @ »Alas for thee, Chorazin!« He cried. »Alas for thee, Bethsaida! For had the mighty works been done in Tyre and Sidon which have been done in both of you, they would long ere now have repented, covered with sackcloth and ashes.

wmth@Matthew:11:22 @ Only I tell you that it will be more endurable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of Judgement than for you.

wmth@Matthew:11:24 @ Only I tell you all, that it will be more endurable for the land of Sodom on the day of Judgement than for thee.«

wmth@Matthew:11:25 @ About that time Jesus exclaimed, »I heartily praise Thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and of earth, that Thou hast hidden these things from sages and men of discernment, and hast unveiled them to babes.

wmth@Matthew:12:1 @ About that time Jesus passed on the Sabbath through the wheatfields; and His disciples became hungry, and began to gather ears of wheat and eat them.

wmth@Matthew:12:4 @ how he entered the House of God and ate the Presented Loaves, which it was not lawful for him or his men to eat, nor for any except the priests?

wmth@Matthew:12:8 @ For the Son of Man is the Lord of the Sabbath.«

wmth@Matthew:12:11 @ »Which of you is there,« He replied, »who, if he has but a single sheep and it falls into a hole on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?

wmth@Matthew:12:15 @ Aware of this, Jesus departed elsewhere; and a great number of people followed Him, all of whom He cured.

wmth@Matthew:12:17 @ that those words of the Prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled,

wmth@Matthew:12:23 @ And the crowds of people were all filled with amazement and said, »Can this be the Son of David?«

wmth@Matthew:12:24 @ The Pharisees heard it and said, »This man only expels demons by the power of Baal-zebul, the Prince of demons.«

wmth@Matthew:12:28 @ But if it is by the power of the Spirit of God that I expel the demons, it is evident that the Kingdom of God has come upon you.

wmth@Matthew:12:29 @ Again, how can any one enter the house of a strong man and carry off his goods, unless first of all he masters and secures the strong man: then he will ransack his house.

wmth@Matthew:12:32 @ And whoever shall speak against the Son of Man may obtain forgiveness; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, neither in this nor in the coming age shall he obtain forgiveness.«

wmth@Matthew:12:34 @ O vipers' brood, how can you speak what is good when you are evil? For it is from the overflow of the heart that the mouth speaks.

wmth@Matthew:12:36 @ But I tell you that for every careless word that men shall speak they will be held accountable on the day of Judgement.

wmth@Matthew:12:37 @ For each of you by his words shall be justified, or by his words shall be condemned.«

wmth@Matthew:12:38 @ Then He was accosted by some of the Scribes and of the Pharisees who said, »Teacher, we wish to see a sign given by you.«

wmth@Matthew:12:39 @ »Wicked and faithless generation!« He replied, »they clamour for a sign, but none shall be given to them except the sign of the Prophet Jonah.

wmth@Matthew:12:40 @ For just as so will the Son of Man be three days in the heart of the earth.

wmth@Matthew:12:41 @ There will stand up men of Nineveh at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and mark! there is One greater than Jonah here.

wmth@Matthew:12:42 @ The Queen of the south will awake at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and mark! there is One greater than Solomon here.

wmth@Matthew:12:43 @ »No sooner however has the foul spirit gone out of the man, then he roams about in places where there is no water, seeking rest but finding none.

wmth@Matthew:12:46 @ While He was still addressing the people His mother and His brothers were standing on the edge of the crowd desiring to speak to Him.

wmth@Matthew:13:1 @ That same day Jesus had left the house and was sitting on the shore of the Lake,

wmth@Matthew:13:2 @ when a vast multitude of people crowded round Him. He therefore went on board a boat and sat there, while all the people stood on the shore.

wmth@Matthew:13:4 @ As he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and the birds come and peck it up.

wmth@Matthew:13:5 @ Some falls on rocky ground, where it has but scanty soil. It quickly shows itself above ground, because it has no depth of earth;

wmth@Matthew:13:11 @ »Because,« He replied, »while to you it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of the Heavens, to them it is not.

wmth@Matthew:13:14 @ And in regard to them the prophecy of Isaiah is receiving signal fulfilment:

wmth@Matthew:13:18 @ »To you then I will explain the parable of the Sower.«

wmth@Matthew:13:21 @ It has struck no root, however, within him. He continues for a time, but when suffering comes, or persecution, because of the Message, he at once stumbles and falls.

wmth@Matthew:13:22 @ He who has received the seed among the thorns is the man who hears the Message, but the cares of the present age and the delusions of riches quite stifle the Message, and it becomes unfruitful.

wmth@Matthew:13:24 @ Another parable He put before them. »The Kingdom of the Heavens,« He said, »may be compared to a man who has sown good seed in his field,

wmth@Matthew:13:31 @ Another parable He put before them. »The Kingdom of the Heavens,« He said, »is like a mustard-seed, which a man takes and sows in his ground.

wmth@Matthew:13:32 @ It is the smallest of all seeds, and yet when full-grown it is larger than any herb and forms a tree, so that the birds come and build in its branches.«

wmth@Matthew:13:33 @ Another parable He spoke to them. »The Kingdom of the Heavens,« He said, »is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, for it to work there till the whole mass has risen.«

wmth@Matthew:13:35 @ in fulfilment of the saying of the Prophet,

wmth@Matthew:13:36 @ When He had dismissed the people and had returned to the house, His disciples came to Him with the request, »Explain to us the parable of the darnel sown in the field.«

wmth@Matthew:13:37 @ »The sower of the good seed,« He replied, »is the Son of Man;

wmth@Matthew:13:38 @ the field is the world; the good seed–these are the sons of the Kingdom; the darnel, the sons of the Evil one.

wmth@Matthew:13:39 @ The enemy who sows the darnel is; the harvest is the Close of the Age; the reapers are the angels.

wmth@Matthew:13:40 @ As then the darnel is collected together and burnt up with fire, so will it be at the Close of the Age.

wmth@Matthew:26:6 @ Now when Jesus was come to Bethany and was at the house of Simon the Leper,

wmth@Matthew:26:7 @ a woman came to Him with a jar of very costly, sweet-scented ointment, which she poured over His head as He reclined at table.

wmth@Matthew:26:13 @ In solemn truth I tell you that wherever in the whole world this Good News shall be proclaimed, this deed of hers shall be spoken of in memory of her.«

wmth@Matthew:26:14 @ At that time one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the High Priests

wmth@Matthew:26:17 @ On the first day of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus with the question, »Where shall we make preparations for you to eat the Passover?«

wmth@Matthew:26:21 @ and the meal was proceeding, when Jesus said, »In solemn truth I tell you that one of you will betray me.«

wmth@Matthew:26:24 @ The Son of Man is indeed going as is written concerning Him; but alas for that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It had been a happy thing for that man if he had never been born.«

wmth@Matthew:26:27 @ And He took the cup and gave thanks, and gave it to them saying, »Drink from it, all of you;

wmth@Matthew:26:28 @ for this is my blood which is to be poured out for many for the remission of sins–the blood which ratifies the Covenant.

wmth@Matthew:26:29 @ I tell you that I will never again take the produce of the vine till that day when I shall drink the new wine with you in my Father's Kingdom.«

wmth@Matthew:26:30 @ So they sang the hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.

wmth@Matthew:26:31 @ Then said Jesus, »This night all of you will stumble and fail in your fidelity to me; for it is written,

wmth@Matthew:26:37 @ And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zabdi. Then He began to be full of anguish and distress,

wmth@Matthew:26:38 @ and He said to them, »My soul is crushed with anguish to the very point of death; wait here, and keep awake with me.«

wmth@Matthew:26:40 @ Then He came to the disciples and found them asleep, and He said to Peter, »Alas, none of you could keep awake with me for even a single hour!

wmth@Matthew:26:45 @ Then He came to the disciples and said, »Sleep on and rest. See, the moment is close at hand when the Son of Man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinful men.

wmth@Matthew:26:47 @ He had scarcely finished speaking when Judas came –one of the Twelve– accompanied by a great crowd of men armed with swords and bludgeons, sent by the High Priests and Elders of the People.

wmth@Matthew:26:48 @ Now the betrayer had agreed upon a sign with them, to direct them. He had said, »The one whom I kiss is the man: lay hold of him.«

wmth@Matthew:26:51 @ But one of those with Jesus drew his sword and struck the High Priest's servant, cutting off his ear.

wmth@Matthew:26:53 @ Or do you suppose I cannot entreat my Father and He would instantly send to my help more than twelve legions of angels?

wmth@Matthew:26:56 @ But all this has taken place in order that the writings of the Prophets may be fulfilled.« At this point the disciples all left Him and fled.

wmth@Matthew:26:57 @ But the officers who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the High Priest, at whose house the Scribes and the Elders had assembled.

wmth@Matthew:26:58 @ And Peter kept following Him at a distance, till he came even to the court of the High Priest's palace, where he entered and sat down among the officers to see the issue.

wmth@Matthew:26:61 @ who testified, »This man said, `I am able to pull down the Sanctuary of God and three days afterwards to build a new one.'«

wmth@Matthew:26:63 @ Jesus however remained silent. Again the High Priest addressed Him. »In the name of the ever-living God,« he said, »I now put you on your oath. Tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.«

wmth@Matthew:26:64 @ »I am He,« replied Jesus. »But I tell you that, later on, you will see of Omnipotence,

wmth@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the High Priest tore his robes and exclaimed, »Impious language! What further need have we of witnesses! See, you have now heard the impiety.

wmth@Matthew:26:69 @ Peter meanwhile was sitting outside in the court of the palace, when one of the maidservants came over to him and said, »You too were with Jesus the Galilaean.«

wmth@Matthew:26:73 @ A short time afterwards the people standing there came and said to Peter, »Certainly you too are one of them, for your brogue shows it.«

wmth@Matthew:26:75 @ and Peter recollected the words of Jesus, how He had said, »Before the cock crows you will three times disown me.« And he went out and wept aloud, bitterly.

wmth@Matthew:27:1 @ When morning came all the High Priests and the Elders of the people consulted together against Jesus to put Him to death;

wmth@Matthew:27:6 @ When the High Priests had gathered up the money they said, »It is illegal to put it into the Treasury, because it is the price of blood.«

wmth@Matthew:27:7 @ So after consulting together they spent the money in the purchase of the Potter's Field as a burial place for people not belonging to the city;

wmth@Matthew:27:8 @ for which reason that piece of ground received the name, which it still bears, of `the Field of Blood.'

wmth@Matthew:27:11 @ Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Governor, and the latter put the question, »Are you the King of the Jews?« »I am their King,« He answered.

wmth@Matthew:27:13 @ »Do you not hear,« asked Pilate, »what a mass of evidence they are bringing against you?«

wmth@Matthew:27:20 @ The High Priests, however, and the Elders urged the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to demand the death of Jesus.

wmth@Matthew:27:21 @ So when the Governor a second time asked them, »Which of the two shall I release to you?« –they cried, »Barabbas!«

wmth@Matthew:27:24 @ So when he saw that he could gain nothing, but that on the contrary there was a riot threatening, he called for water and washed his hands in sight of them all, saying, »I am not responsible for this murder: you must answer for it.«

wmth@Matthew:27:27 @ Then the Governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and called together the whole battalion to make sport of Him.

wmth@Matthew:27:28 @ Stripping off His garments, they put on Him a general's short crimson cloak.

wmth@Matthew:27:29 @ They twisted a wreath of thorny twigs and put it on His head, and they put a sceptre of cane in His right hand, and kneeling to Him they shouted in mockery, »Long live the King of the Jews!«

wmth@Matthew:27:31 @ At last, having finished their sport, they took off the cloak, clothed Him again in His own garments, and led Him away for crucifixion.

wmth@Matthew:27:34 @ Here they gave Him a mixture of wine and gall to drink, but having tasted it He refused to drink it.

wmth@Matthew:27:37 @ Over His head they placed a written statement of the charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

wmth@Matthew:27:42 @ »He saved others,« they said, »himself he cannot save! He is the King of Israel! Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in him.

wmth@Matthew:27:44 @ Insults of the same kind were heaped on Him even by the robbers who were being crucified with Him.

wmth@Matthew:27:47 @ »The man is calling for Elijah,« said some of the bystanders.

wmth@Matthew:27:48 @ One of them ran forthwith, and filling a sponge with sour wine put it on the end of a cane and offered it Him to drink;

wmth@Matthew:27:51 @ Immediately the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom: the earth quaked; the rocks split;

wmth@Matthew:27:52 @ the tombs opened; and many of God's people who were asleep in death awoke.

wmth@Matthew:27:53 @ And coming out of their tombs after Christ's resurrection they entered the holy city and showed themselves to many.

wmth@Matthew:27:55 @ And there were a number of women there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to His necessities;

wmth@Matthew:27:56 @ among them being Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zabdi.

wmth@Matthew:27:57 @ Towards sunset there came a wealthy inhabitant of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself also had become a disciple of Jesus.

wmth@Matthew:27:58 @ He went to Pilate and begged to have the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

wmth@Matthew:27:59 @ So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean sheet of fine linen.

wmth@Matthew:27:60 @ He then laid it in his own new tomb which he had hewn in the solid rock, and after rolling a great stone against the door of the tomb he went home.

wmth@Matthew:27:61 @ Mary of Magdala and the other Mary were both present there, sitting opposite to the sepulchre.

wmth@Matthew:28:1 @ After the Sabbath, in the early dawn of the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary came to see the sepulchre.

wmth@Matthew:28:2 @ But to their amazement there had been a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord had descended from Heaven, and had come and rolled back the stone, and was sitting upon it.

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

wmth@Matthew:28:8 @ They quickly left the tomb and ran, still terrified but full of unspeakable joy, to carry the news to His disciples.

wmth@Matthew:28:11 @ While they went on this errand, some of the guards came into the city and reported to the High Priests every detail of what had happened.

wmth@Matthew:28:19 @ Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations; baptize them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;

wmth@Matthew:28:20 @ and teach them to obey every command which I have given you. And remember, I am with you always, day by day, until the Close of the Age.«

wmth@Mark:1:1 @ The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ the Son of God.

wmth@Mark:1:4 @ So John the Baptizer came, and was in the Desert proclaiming a baptism of the penitent for forgiveness of sins.

wmth@Mark:1:5 @ There went out to him people of all classes from Judaea, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem of all ranks, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, making open confession of their sins.

wmth@Mark:1:6 @ As for John, his garment was of camel's hair, and he wore a loincloth of leather; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

wmth@Mark:1:10 @ and immediately on His coming up out of the water He saw an opening in the sky, and the Spirit like a dove coming down to Him;

wmth@Mark:1:15 @ »The time has fully come,« He said, »and the Kingdom of God is close at hand: repent, and believe this Good News.

wmth@Mark:1:16 @ One day, passing along the shore of the Lake of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, throwing their nets in the Lake; for they were fisherman.

wmth@Mark:1:19 @ Going on a little further He saw James the son of Zabdi and his brother John: they also were in the boat mending the nets, and He immediately called them.

wmth@Mark:1:22 @ The people listened with amazement to His teaching –for there was authority about it: it was very different from that of the Scribes–

wmth@Mark:1:23 @ when all at once, there in their synagogue, a man under the power of a foul spirit screamed out:

wmth@Mark:1:25 @ But Jesus reprimanded him, saying, »Silence! come out of him.«

wmth@Mark:1:26 @ So the foul spirit, after throwing the man into convulsions, came out of him with a loud cry.

wmth@Mark:1:27 @ And all were amazed and awe-struck, so they began to ask one another, »What does this mean? Here is a new sort of teaching–and a tone of authority! And even to foul spirits he issues orders and they obey him!«

wmth@Mark:1:28 @ And His fame spread at once everywhere in all that part of Galilee.

wmth@Mark:1:29 @ Then on leaving the synagogue they came at once, with James and John, to the house of Simon and Andrew.

wmth@Mark:1:34 @ Then He cured numbers of people who were ill with various diseases, and He drove out many demons; not allowing the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.

wmth@Mark:1:44 @ and saying, »Be careful not to tell any one, but go and show yourself to the Priest, and for your purification present the offerings that Moses appointed as evidence for them.«

wmth@Mark:2:2 @ and such numbers of people came together that there was no longer room for them even round the door. He was speaking His Message to them,

wmth@Mark:2:3 @ when there came a party of people bringing a paralytic–four men carrying him.

wmth@Mark:2:4 @ Finding themselves unable, however, to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they untiled the roof just over His head, and after clearing an opening they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying.

wmth@Mark:2:6 @ Now there were some of the Scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts.

wmth@Mark:2:10 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins« –He turned to the paralytic, and said,

wmth@Mark:2:12 @ The man rose, and immediately under the eyes of all took up his mat and went out, so that they were all filled with astonishment, gave the glory to God, and said, »We never saw anything like this.«

wmth@Mark:2:13 @ Again He went out to the shore of the Lake, and the whole multitude kept coming to Him, and He taught them.

wmth@Mark:2:14 @ And as He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the Toll Office, and said to him, »Follow me.« So he rose and followed Him.

wmth@Mark:2:15 @ When He was sitting at table in Levi's house, a large number of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners were at table with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many such who habitually followed Him.

wmth@Mark:2:16 @ But when the Scribes of the Pharisee sect saw Him eating with the sinners and the tax-gatherers, they said to His disciples, »He is eating and drinking with the tax-gatherers and sinners!«

wmth@Mark:2:18 @ (Now John's disciples and those of the Pharisees were keeping a fast.) And they came and asked Him, »How is it that John's disciples and those of the Pharisees are fasting, and yours are not?«

wmth@Mark:2:21 @ No one mends an old garment with a piece of unshrunk cloth. Otherwise, the patch put on would tear away from it– the new from the old– and a worse hole would be made.

wmth@Mark:2:23 @ One Sabbath He was walking through the wheatfields when His disciples began to pluck the ears of wheat as they went.

wmth@Mark:2:26 @ how he entered the house of God in the High-priesthood of Abiathar, and ate the Presented Loaves –which none but the priests are allowed to eat– and gave some to his men also?«

wmth@Mark:2:28 @ so that the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.«

wmth@Mark:3:5 @ Grieved and indignant at the hardening of their hearts, He looked round on them with anger, and said to the man, »Stretch out your arm.« He stretched it out, and the arm was completely restored.

wmth@Mark:3:6 @ But no sooner had the Pharisees left the synagogue than they held a consultation with the Herodians against Jesus, to devise some means of destroying Him.

wmth@Mark:3:7 @ Accordingly Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the Lake, and a vast crowd of people from Galilee followed Him;

wmth@Mark:3:8 @ and from Judaea and Jerusalem and Idumaea and from beyond the Jordan and from the district of Tyre and Sidon there came to Him a vast crowd, hearing of all that He was doing.

wmth@Mark:3:9 @ So He gave directions to His disciples to keep a small boat in constant attendance on Him because of the throng–to prevent their crushing Him.

wmth@Mark:3:10 @ For He had cured many of the people, so that all who had any ailments pressed upon Him, to touch Him.

wmth@Mark:3:11 @ And the foul spirits, whenever they saw Him, threw themselves down at His feet, screaming out:»You are the Son of God.«

wmth@Mark:3:14 @ He appointed twelve of them, that they might be with Him, and that He might also send them to proclaim His Message,

wmth@Mark:3:16 @ These twelve were Simon (to whom He gave the surname of Peter),

wmth@Mark:3:17 @ James the son of Zabdi and John the brother of James (these two He surnamed Boanerges, that is `Sons of Thunder'),

wmth@Mark:3:18 @ Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Cananaean,

wmth@Mark:3:21 @ Hearing of this, His relatives came to seize Him by force, for they said, »He is out of his mind.«

wmth@Mark:3:22 @ The Scribes, too, who had come down from Jerusalem said, »He has Baal-zebul in him; and it is by the power of the Prince of the demons that he expels the demons.«

wmth@Mark:3:27 @ Nay, no one can go into a strong man's house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.

wmth@Mark:3:28 @ In solemn truth I tell you that all their sins may be pardoned to the sons of men, and all their blasphemies, however they may have blasphemed;

wmth@Mark:3:29 @ but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, he remains for ever unabsolved: he is guilty of a sin of the Ages.«

wmth@Mark:4:1 @ Once more He began to teach by the side of the Lake, and a vast multitude of people came together to listen to Him. He therefore went on board the boat and sat there, a little way from the land; and all the people were on the shore close to the water.

wmth@Mark:4:4 @ As he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and the birds come and peck it up.

wmth@Mark:4:5 @ Some falls on the rocky ground where it finds but little earth, and it shoots up quickly because it has no depth of soil;

wmth@Mark:4:8 @ But some of the seed falls into good ground, and gives a return: it comes up and increases, and yields thirty, sixty, or a hundred-fold.«

wmth@Mark:4:11 @ »To you,« He replied, »has been entrusted the secret truth concerning the Kingdom of God; but to those others outside your number all this is spoken in figurative language;

wmth@Mark:4:13 @ »Do you all miss the meaning of this parable?« He added; »how then will you understand the rest of my parables?«

wmth@Mark:4:17 @ but they have no root within them. They last for a time; then, when suffering or persecution comes because of the Message, they are immediately overthrown.

wmth@Mark:4:19 @ but worldly cares and the deceitfulness of wealth and the excessive pursuit of other objects come in and stifle the Message, and it becomes unfruitful.

wmth@Mark:4:20 @ Those, on the other hand, who have received the seed on the good ground, are all who hear the Message and welcome it, and yield a return of thirty, sixty, or a hundred fold.«

wmth@Mark:4:26 @ Another saying of His was this: »The Kingdom of God is as if a man scattered seed over the ground:

wmth@Mark:4:28 @ Of itself the land produces the crop– first the blade, then the ear; afterwards the perfect grain is seen in the ear.

wmth@Mark:4:29 @ But no sooner is the crop ripe, than he sends the reapers, because the time of harvest has come.«

wmth@Mark:4:30 @ Another saying of His was this: »How are we to picture the Kingdom of God? or by what figure of speech shall we represent it?

wmth@Mark:4:31 @ It is like a mustard-seed, which, when sown in the earth, is the smallest of all the seeds in the world;

wmth@Mark:5:1 @ So they arrived at the opposite shore of the Lake, in the country of the Gerasenes.

wmth@Mark:5:7 @ crying out in a loud voice, »What hast Thou to do with me, Jesus, Son of God Most High? In God's name I implore Thee not to torment me.«

wmth@Mark:5:8 @ For He had said to him, »Foul spirit, come out of the man.«

wmth@Mark:5:9 @ Jesus also questioned him. »What is your name?« He said. »Legion,« he replied, »for there are a host of us.«

wmth@Mark:5:10 @ And he earnestly entreated Him not to send them away out of the country.

wmth@Mark:5:11 @ Feeding there, on the mountain slope, was a great herd of swine.

wmth@Mark:5:15 @ and when they came to Jesus, they beheld the demoniac quietly seated, clothed and of sane mind– the man who had had the legion; and they were awe-stricken.

wmth@Mark:5:16 @ And those who had seen it told them the particulars of what had happened to the demoniac, and all about the swine.

wmth@Mark:5:21 @ When Jesus had re-crossed in the boat to the other side, a vast multitude came crowding to Him; and He was on the shore of the Lake,

wmth@Mark:5:22 @ when there came one of the Wardens of the Synagogue –he was called Jair– who, on beholding Him, threw himself at His feet,

wmth@Mark:5:23 @ and besought Him with many entreaties. »My little daughter,« he said, »is at the point of death: I pray you come and lay your hands upon her, that she may recover and live.«

wmth@Mark:5:26 @ and had undergone many different treatments under a number of doctors and had spent all she had without receiving benefit but on the contrary growing worse,

wmth@Mark:5:27 @ heard of Jesus. And she came in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak;

wmth@Mark:5:29 @ In a moment the flow of her blood ceased, and she felt in herself that her complaint was cured.

wmth@Mark:5:38 @ So they come to the Warden's house. Here He gazes on a scene of uproar, with people weeping aloud and wailing.

wmth@Mark:6:3 @ Is not this the carpenter, Mary's son, the brother of James and Joses, Jude and Simon? And do not his sisters live here among us?« So they turned angrily away.

wmth@Mark:6:5 @ And He could not do any miracle there, except that He laid His hands on a few who were out of health and cured them; and

wmth@Mark:6:11 @ But wherever they will not receive you or listen to you, when you leave shake off the very dust from under your feet to bear witness concerning them.«

wmth@Mark:6:14 @ King Herod heard of all this (for the name of Jesus had become widely known), and he kept saying, »John the Baptizer has come back to life, and that is why these miraculous Powers are working in him.«

wmth@Mark:6:15 @ Others asserted that He was Elijah. Others again said, »He is a Prophet, like one of the great Prophets.«

wmth@Mark:6:16 @ But when Herod heard of Him, he said, »The John, whom I beheaded, has come back to life.«

wmth@Mark:6:17 @ For Herod himself had sent and had had John arrested and had kept him in prison in chains, for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her.

wmth@Mark:6:20 @ for Herod stood in awe of John, knowing him to be an upright and holy man, and he protected him. After listening to him he was in great perplexity, and yet he found a pleasure in listening.

wmth@Mark:6:21 @ At length Herodias found her opportunity. Herod on his birthday gave a banquet to the nobles of his court and to the tribunes and the principal people in Galilee,

wmth@Mark:6:24 @ She at once went out and said to her mother:»What shall I ask for?«»The head of John the Baptizer,« she replied.

wmth@Mark:6:25 @ The girl immediately came in, in haste, to the King and made her request. »My desire is,« she said, »that you will give me, here and now, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist.«

wmth@Mark:6:26 @ Then the King, though intensely sorry, yet for the sake of his oaths, and of his guests, would not break faith with her.

wmth@Mark:6:27 @ He at once sent a soldier of his guard with orders to bring John's head. So he went and beheaded him in the prison,

wmth@Mark:6:29 @ When John's disciples heard of it, they came and took away his body and laid it in a tomb.

wmth@Mark:6:31 @ Then He said to them, »Come away, all of you, to a quiet place, and rest awhile.« For there were many coming and going, so that they had no time even for meals.

wmth@Mark:6:37 @ »Give them food yourselves,« He replied. »Are we,« they asked, `to go and buy two hundred shillings' worth of bread and give them food?«

wmth@Mark:6:38 @ »How many loaves have you?« He inquired; »go and see.« So they found out, and said, »Five; and a couple of fish.«

wmth@Mark:6:40 @ And they sat down in rows of hundreds and of fifties.

wmth@Mark:6:41 @ Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and lifting His eyes to Heaven He blessed the food. Then He broke the loaves into portions which He went on handing to the disciples to distribute; giving pieces also of the two fish to them all.

wmth@Mark:6:43 @ And they carried away broken portions enough to fill twelve baskets, besides pieces of the fish.

wmth@Mark:6:56 @ And enter wherever He might –village or town or hamlet– they laid their sick in the open places, and entreated Him to let them touch were it but the tassel of His robe; and all, whoever touched Him, were restored to health.

wmth@Mark:7:2 @ They had noticed that some of His disciples were eating their food with `unclean' (that is to say, unwashed) hands.

wmth@Mark:7:3 @ (For the Pharisees and all the Jews– being, as they are, zealous for the traditions of the Elders– never eat without first carefully washing their hands,

wmth@Mark:7:4 @ and when they come from market they will not eat without bathing first; and they have a good many other customs which they have received traditionally and cling to, such as the rinsing of cups and pots and of bronze utensils, and the washing of beds.)

wmth@Mark:7:5 @ So the Pharisees and Scribes put the question to Him:»Why do your disciples transgress the traditions of the Elders, and eat their food with unclean hands?«

wmth@Mark:7:6 @ »Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites,« He replied; »as it is written,«

wmth@Mark:7:13 @ thus nullifying God's precept by your tradition which you have handed down. And many things of that kind you do.«

wmth@Mark:7:14 @ Then Jesus called the people to Him again. »Listen to me, all of you,« He said, »and understand.

wmth@Mark:7:15 @ There is nothing outside a man which entering him can make him unclean; but it is the things which come out of a man that make him unclean.«

wmth@Mark:7:17 @ After He had left the crowd and gone indoors, His disciples began to ask Him about this figure of speech.

wmth@Mark:7:19 @ because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and passes away ejected from him?« By these words Jesus pronounced all kinds of food clean.

wmth@Mark:7:20 @ »What comes out of a man,« He added, »that it is which makes him unclean.

wmth@Mark:7:21 @ For from within, out of men's hearts, their evil purposes proceed–fornication, theft, murder, adultery,

wmth@Mark:7:24 @ Then He rose and left that place and went into the neighbourhood of Tyre and Sidon. Here He entered a house and wished no one to know it, but He could not escape observation.

wmth@Mark:7:25 @ Forthwith a woman whose little daughter was possessed by a foul spirit heard of Him, and came and flung herself at His feet.

wmth@Mark:7:29 @ »For those words of yours, go home,« He replied; »the demon has gone out of your daughter.«

wmth@Mark:7:31 @ Returning from the neighbourhood of Tyre, He came by way of Sidon to the Lake of Galilee, passing through the district of the Ten Towns.

wmth@Mark:8:3 @ If I were to send them home hungry, they would faint on the way, some of them having come a great distance.«

wmth@Mark:8:8 @ So the people ate an abundant meal; and what remained over they picked up and carried away–seven hampers of broken pieces.

wmth@Mark:8:10 @ and at once going on board with His disciples He came into the district of Dalmanutha.

wmth@Mark:8:11 @ The Pharisees followed Him and began to dispute with Him, asking Him for a sign in the sky, to make trial of Him.

wmth@Mark:8:12 @ Heaving a deep and troubled sigh, He said, »Why do the men of to-day ask for a sign? In solemn truth I tell you that no sign will be given to the men of to-day.«

wmth@Mark:8:15 @ and when He admonished them, »See to it, be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod,«

wmth@Mark:8:17 @ He perceived what they were saying, and He said to them, »What is this discussion of yours about having no bread? Do you not yet see and understand? Are your minds so dull of comprehension?

wmth@Mark:8:19 @ When I broke up the five loaves for the 5,000 men, how many baskets did you carry away full of broken portions? »Twelve,« they said.

wmth@Mark:8:20 @ »And when the seven for the 4,000, how many hampers full of portions did you take away?« »Seven,« they answered.

wmth@Mark:8:23 @ So He took the blind man by the arm and brought him out of the village, and spitting into his eyes He put His hands on him and asked him, »Can you see anything?«

wmth@Mark:8:28 @ »John the Baptist,« they replied, »but others say Elijah, and others, that it is one of the Prophets.«

wmth@Mark:8:31 @ And now for the first time He told them, »The Son of Man must endure much suffering, and be rejected by the Elders and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death, and after two days rise to life.«

wmth@Mark:8:34 @ Then calling to Him the crowd and also His disciples, He said to them, »If any one is desirous of following me, let him ignore self and take up his cross, and so be my follower.

wmth@Mark:8:35 @ For whoever is bent on securing his life will lose it, but he who loses his life for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News, will secure it.

wmth@Mark:8:38 @ Every one, however, who has been ashamed of me and of my teachings in this faithless and sinful age, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in His Father's glory with the holy angels.«

wmth@Mark:9:1 @ He went on to say, »In solemn truth I tell you that some of those who are standing here will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God already come in power.«

wmth@Mark:9:9 @ As they were coming down from the mountain, He very strictly forbad them to tell any one what they had seen »until after the Son of Man has risen from among the dead.«

wmth@Mark:9:12 @ »Elijah,« He replied, »does indeed come first and reforms everything; but how is it that it is written of the Son of Man that He will endure much suffering and be held in contempt?

wmth@Mark:9:14 @ As they came to rejoin the disciples, they saw an immense crowd surrounding them and a party of Scribes disputing with them.

wmth@Mark:9:17 @ »Rabbi,« answered one of the crowd, »I have brought you my son. He has a dumb spirit in him;

wmth@Mark:9:22 @ »and often it has thrown him into the fire or into pools of water to destroy him. But, if you possibly can, have pity on us and help us.«

wmth@Mark:9:25 @ Then Jesus, seeing that an increasing crowd was running towards Him, rebuked the foul spirit, and said to it, »Dumb and deaf spirit, command you, come out of him and never enter into him again.«

wmth@Mark:9:26 @ So with a loud cry he threw the boy into fit after fit, and came out. The boy looked as if he were dead, so that most of them said he was dead;

wmth@Mark:9:28 @ After the return of Jesus to the house His disciples asked Him privately, »How is it that we could not expel the spirit?«

wmth@Mark:9:29 @ »An evil spirit of this kind,« He answered, »can only be driven out by prayer.«

wmth@Mark:9:31 @ for He was teaching His disciples, and telling them, »The Son of Man is to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and after being put to death, in three days He will rise to life again.«

wmth@Mark:9:34 @ But they remained silent; for on the way they had debated with one another who was the chief of them.

wmth@Mark:9:35 @ Then sitting down He called the Twelve, and said to them, »If any one wishes to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.«

wmth@Mark:9:38 @ »Rabbi,« said John to Him, »we saw a man making use of your name to expel demons, and we tried to hinder him, on the ground that he did not follow us.«

wmth@Mark:9:39 @ »You should not have tried to hinder him,« replied Jesus, »for there is no one who will use my name to perform a miracle and be able the next minute to speak evil of me.

wmth@Mark:9:41 @ and whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, I solemnly tell you that he will certainly not lose his reward.

wmth@Mark:9:42 @ »And whoever shall occasion the fall of one of these little ones who believe, he would be better off if, with a millstone round his neck, he were lying at the bottom of the sea.«

wmth@Mark:9:43 @ If your hand should cause you to sin, cut it off: it would be better for you to enter into Life maimed, than remain in possession of both your hands and go away into Gehenna, into the fire which cannot be put out.

wmth@Mark:9:45 @ Or if your foot should cause you to sin, cut it off: it would be better for you to enter into Life crippled, than remain in possession of both your feet and be thrown into Gehenna.

wmth@Mark:9:47 @ Or if your eye should cause you to sin, tear it out. It would be better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God half-blind than remain in possession of two eyes and be thrown into Gehenna,

wmth@Mark:10:1 @ Soon on His feet once more, He enters the district of Judaea and crosses the Jordan: again the people flock to Him, and ere long, as was usual with Him, He was teaching them once more.

wmth@Mark:10:2 @ Presently a party of Pharisees come to Him with the question–seeking to entrap Him, »May a man divorce his wife?«

wmth@Mark:10:4 @ »Moses,« they said, »permitted a man to draw up a written notice of divorce, and to send his wife away.«

wmth@Mark:10:5 @ »It was in consideration of your stubborn hearts,« said Jesus, »that Moses enacted this law for you;

wmth@Mark:10:6 @ but from the beginning of the creation the rule was,

wmth@Mark:10:14 @ Jesus, however, on seeing this, was moved to indignation, and said to them, »Let the little children come to me: do not hinder them; for to those who are childlike the Kingdom of God belongs.

wmth@Mark:10:15 @ In solemn truth I tell you that no one who does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will by any possibility enter it.«

wmth@Mark:10:17 @ As He went out to resume His journey, there came a man running up to Him, who knelt at His feet and asked, »Good Rabbi, what am I to do in order to inherit the Life of the Ages?«

wmth@Mark:10:21 @ Then Jesus looked at him and loved him, and said, »One thing is lacking in you: go, sell all you possess and give the proceeds to the poor, and you shall have riches in Heaven; and come and be a follower of mine.«

wmth@Mark:10:22 @ At these words his brow darkened, and he went away sad; for he was possessed of great wealth.

wmth@Mark:10:23 @ Then looking round on His disciples Jesus said, »With how hard a struggle will the possessors of riches enter the Kingdom of God!«

wmth@Mark:10:24 @ The disciples were amazed at His words. Jesus, however, said again, »Children, how hard a struggle is it for those who trust in riches to enter the Kingdom of God!

wmth@Mark:10:25 @ It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.«

wmth@Mark:10:29 @ »In solemn truth I tell you,« replied Jesus, »that there is no one who has forsaken house or brothers or sisters, or mother or father, or children or lands, for my sake and for the sake of the Good News,

wmth@Mark:10:30 @ but will receive a hundred times as much now in this present life –houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, lands– and persecution with them–and in the coming age the Life of the Ages.

wmth@Mark:10:32 @ They were still on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; they were full of wonder, and some, though they followed, did so with fear. Then, once more calling to Him the Twelve, He began to tell them what was about to happen to Him.

wmth@Mark:10:33 @ »See,« He said, »we are going up to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man will be betrayed to the High Priests and the Scribes. They will condemn Him to death, and will hand Him over to the Gentiles;

wmth@Mark:10:35 @ Then James and John, the sons of Zabdi, came up to Him and said, »Rabbi, we wish you would grant us whatever request we make of you.«

wmth@Mark:10:38 @ »You know not,« said He, »what you are asking. Are you able to drink out of the cup from which I am to drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized?«

wmth@Mark:10:39 @ »We are able,« they replied. »Out of the cup,« said Jesus, »from which I am to drink you shall drink, and with the baptism with which I am to be baptized you shall be baptized;

wmth@Mark:10:41 @ The other ten, hearing of it, were at first highly indignant with James and John.

wmth@Mark:10:44 @ and whoever desires to be first among you must be the bondservant of all.

wmth@Mark:10:45 @ For the Son of Man also did not come to be waited upon, but to wait on others, and to give His life as the redemption-price for a multitude of people.«

wmth@Mark:10:46 @ They came to Jericho; and as He was leaving that town –Himself and His disciples and a great crowd– Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind beggar, was sitting by the way-side.

wmth@Mark:10:47 @ Hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, »Son of David, Jesus, have pity on me.«

wmth@Mark:10:48 @ Many angrily told him to leave off shouting; but he only cried out all the louder, »Son of David, have pity on me.«

wmth@Mark:11:1 @ When they were getting near Jerusalem and had arrived at Bethphage and Bethany, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples on in front, with these instructions.

wmth@Mark:11:4 @ So they went and found a young ass tied up at the front door of a house. They were untying it,

wmth@Mark:11:5 @ when some of the bystanders called out, »What are you doing, untying the foal?«

wmth@Mark:11:10 @ Blessings on the coming Kingdom of our forefather David!

wmth@Mark:11:15 @ They reached Jerusalem, and entering the Temple He began to drive out the buyers and sellers, and upset the money-changers' tables and the stools of the pigeon-dealers,

wmth@Mark:11:18 @ This the High Priests and Scribes heard, and they began to devise means to destroy Him. For they were afraid of Him, because of the deep impression produced on all the people by His teaching.

wmth@Mark:11:25 @ But whenever you stand praying, if you have a grievance against any one, forgive it, so that your Father in Heaven may also forgive you your offences.«

wmth@Mark:11:30 @ John's Baptism–was it of Heavenly or of human origin? Answer me.«

wmth@Mark:11:32 @ Or should we say, `human?'« They were afraid of the people; for all agreed in holding John to have been really a Prophet.

wmth@Mark:12:2 @ At vintage-time he sent one of his servants to receive from the vine-dressers a share of the grapes.

wmth@Mark:12:6 @ He had still one left whom he could send, a dearly-loved son: him last of all he sent, saying, »`They will treat my son with respect.'

wmth@Mark:12:9 @ What, therefore, will the owner of the vineyard do?« »He will come and put the vine-dressers to death,« they said; »and will give the vineyard to others.«

wmth@Mark:12:12 @ And they kept looking out for an opportunity to seize Him, but were afraid of the people; for they saw that in this parable He had referred to. So they left Him and went away.

wmth@Mark:12:13 @ Their next step was to send to Him some of the Pharisees and of Herod's partisans to entrap Him in conversation.

wmth@Mark:12:18 @ Then came to Him a party of Sadducees, a sect which denies that there is any Resurrection; and they proceeded to question Him.

wmth@Mark:12:20 @ There were once seven brothers, the eldest of whom married a wife, but at his death left no family.

wmth@Mark:12:22 @ And so did the rest of the seven, all dying childless. Finally the woman also died.

wmth@Mark:12:24 @ »Is not this the cause of your error,« replied Jesus– your ignorance alike of the Scriptures and of the power of God?

wmth@Mark:12:26 @ But as to the dead, that they rise to life, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God said to him,

wmth@Mark:12:27 @ He is not the God of dead, but of living men. You are in grave error.«

wmth@Mark:12:28 @ Then one of the Scribes, who had heard them disputing and well knew that Jesus had given them an answer to the point, and a forcible one, came forward and asked Him, »Which is the chief of all the Commandments?«

wmth@Mark:12:34 @ Perceiving that the Scribe had answered wisely Jesus said to him, »You are not far from the Kingdom of God.« No one from that time forward ventured to put any question to Him.

wmth@Mark:12:35 @ But, while teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked, »How is it the Scribes say that the Christ is a son of David?

wmth@Mark:12:37 @ »David himself calls Him `Lord:' how then can He be his son?« And the mass of people found pleasure in listening to Jesus.

wmth@Mark:12:38 @ Moreover in the course of His teaching He said, »Be on your guard against the Scribes who like to walk about in long robes and to be bowed to in places of public resort,

wmth@Mark:12:40 @ and who swallow up the property of widows and then mask their wickedness by making long prayers: these men will receive far heavier punishment.«

wmth@Mark:12:41 @ Having taken a seat opposite the Treasury, He observed how the people were dropping money into the Treasury, and that many of the wealthy threw in large sums.

wmth@Mark:12:44 @ for they have all contributed out of what they could well spare, but she out of her need has thrown in all she possessed–all she had to live on.«

wmth@Mark:13:1 @ As He was leaving the Temple, one of His disciples exclaimed, »Look, Rabbi, what wonderful stones! what wonderful buildings!«

wmth@Mark:13:3 @ He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite to the Temple, when Peter, James, John, and Andrew, apart from the others asked Him,

wmth@Mark:13:4 @ »Tell us, When will these things be? and what will be the sign when all these predictions are on the point of being fulfilled?«

wmth@Mark:13:7 @ But when you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed: come they must, but the End is not yet.

wmth@Mark:13:8 @ For There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These miseries are but like the early pains of childbirth.

wmth@Mark:13:10 @ But the proclamation of the Good News must be carried to all the Gentiles before the End comes.

wmth@Mark:13:13 @ You will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name, but those who stand firm to the End will be saved.

wmth@Mark:13:15 @ let him who is on the roof not come down and enter the house to fetch anything out of it;

wmth@Mark:13:19 @ For those will be times of and assuredly never will be again;«

wmth@Mark:13:20 @ and but for the fact that the Lord has cut short those days, no one would escape; but for the sake of His own People whom He has chosen for Himself He has cut short the days.

wmth@Mark:13:23 @ But as for yourselves, be on your guard: I have forewarned you of everything.

wmth@Mark:13:27 @ Then He will send forth the angels and gather together His chosen People from north, south, east and west, from the remotest parts of the earth and the sky.

wmth@Mark:13:28 @ »Learn from the fig-tree the lesson it teaches. As soon as its branch has become soft and it is bursting into leaf, you know that summer is near.«

wmth@Mark:13:35 @ Be wakeful therefore, for you know not when the master of the house is coming–in the evening, at midnight, at cock-crow, or at dawn.

wmth@Mark:14:1 @ It was now two days before the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread, and the High Priests and Scribes were bent on finding how to seize Him by stratagem and put Him to death.

wmth@Mark:14:3 @ Now when He was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the Leper, while He was at table, there came a woman with a jar of pure, sweet-scented ointment very costly: she broke the jar and poured the ointment over His head.

wmth@Mark:14:7 @ For you always have the poor among you, and whenever you choose you can do acts of kindness to them; but me you have not always.

wmth@Mark:14:9 @ And I solemnly tell you that wherever in the whole world the Good News shall be proclaimed, this which she has done shall also be told in remembrance of her.«

wmth@Mark:14:10 @ But Judas Iscariot, already mentioned as one of the Twelve, went to the High Priests to betray Jesus to them.

wmth@Mark:14:11 @ They gladly listened to his proposal, and promised to give him a sum of money. So he looked out for an opportunity to betray Him.

wmth@Mark:14:12 @ On the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread –the day for killing the Passover lamb– His disciples asked Him, »Where shall we go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?«

wmth@Mark:14:13 @ So He sent two of His disciples with instructions, saying, »Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him,

wmth@Mark:14:14 @ and whatever house he enters, tell the master of the house, `The Rabbi asks, Where is my room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?'

wmth@Mark:14:18 @ And while they were at table Jesus said, »I solemnly tell you that one of you will betray me–one who is eating with me.«

wmth@Mark:14:20 @ »It is one of the Twelve,« He replied; »he who is dipping his fingers in the dish with me.

wmth@Mark:14:21 @ For the Son of Man is going His way as it is written about Him; but alas for the man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It had been a happy thing for that man, had he never been born.«

wmth@Mark:14:23 @ Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and handed it to them, and they all of them drank from it.

wmth@Mark:14:24 @ »This is my blood,« He said, »which is to be poured out on behalf of many–the blood which makes the Covenant sure.

wmth@Mark:14:25 @ I solemnly tell you that never again will I taste the produce of the vine till I shall drink the new wine in the Kingdom of God.«

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

wmth@Mark:14:27 @ Then said Jesus to them, »All of you are about to stumble and fall, for it is written,

wmth@Mark:14:33 @ Then He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be full of terror and distress,

wmth@Mark:14:34 @ and He said to them, »My heart is oppressed with anguish to the very point of death: wait here and keep awake.«

wmth@Mark:14:35 @ Going forward a short distance He threw Himself upon His face and prayed repeatedly that, if it was possible, He might be spared that time of agony;

wmth@Mark:14:36 @ and He said, »Abba! my Father! all things are possible for Thee: take this cup of suffering away from me: and yet not what I desire, but what Thou desirest.«

wmth@Mark:14:38 @ Be wakeful, all of you, and keep on praying, that you may not come into temptation: the spirit is right willing, but the body is frail.«

wmth@Mark:14:41 @ A third time He came, and then He said, »Sleep on and rest. Enough! the hour has come. Even now they are betraying the Son of Man into the hands of sinful men.

wmth@Mark:14:43 @ Immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came and with him a crowd of men armed with swords and cudgels, sent by the High Priests and Scribes and Elders.

wmth@Mark:14:44 @ Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them. »The one I kiss,« he said, »is the man: lay hold of him, and take him safely away.«

wmth@Mark:14:47 @ But one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck a blow at the High Priest's servant, cutting off his ear.

wmth@Mark:14:51 @ One youth indeed did follow Him, wearing only a linen cloth round his bare body. Of him they laid hold,

wmth@Mark:14:54 @ Peter followed Jesus at a distance, as far as the outer court of the High Priest's palace. But there he remained sitting among the officers, and warming himself by the fire.

wmth@Mark:14:60 @ At last the High Priest stood up, and advancing into the midst of them all, asked Jesus, »Have you no answer to make? What is the meaning of all this that these witnesses allege against you?«

wmth@Mark:14:61 @ But He remained silent, and gave no reply. A second time the High Priest questioned Him. »Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?« he said.

wmth@Mark:14:62 @ »I am,« replied Jesus, »and you and others will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the divine Power, and coming amid the clouds of the sky.«

wmth@Mark:14:63 @ Rending his garments the High Priest exclaimed, »What need have we of witnesses after that?

wmth@Mark:14:64 @ You all heard his impious words. What is your judgement?« Then with one voice they condemned Him as deserving of death.

wmth@Mark:14:65 @ Thereupon some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, while striking Him with their fists and crying, »Prove that you are a prophet.« The officers too struck Him with open hands as they took Him in charge.

wmth@Mark:14:66 @ Now while Peter was below in the quadrangle, one of the High Priest's maidservants came,

wmth@Mark:14:69 @ Again the maidservant saw him, and again began to say to the people standing by, »He is one of them.«

wmth@Mark:14:70 @ A second time he repeatedly denied it. Soon afterwards the bystanders again accused Peter, saying, »You are surely one of them, for you too are a Galilaean.«

wmth@Mark:14:71 @ But he broke out into curses and oaths, declaring, »I know nothing of the man you are talking about.«

wmth@Mark:14:72 @ No sooner had he spoken than a cock crowed for the second time, and Peter recollected the words of Jesus, »Before the cock crows twice, you will three times disown me.« And as he thought of it, he wept aloud.

wmth@Mark:15:2 @ So Pilate questioned Him. »Are the King of the Jews?« he asked. »I am,« replied Jesus.

wmth@Mark:15:6 @ Now at the Festival it was customary for Pilate to release to the Jews any one prisoner whom they might beg off from punishment;

wmth@Mark:15:9 @ »Shall I release for you the King of the Jews?« answered Pilate.

wmth@Mark:15:10 @ For he could see that it was out of sheer spite that the High Priests had handed Him over.

wmth@Mark:15:12 @ and when Pilate again asked them, »What then shall I do to the man you call King of the Jews?«

wmth@Mark:15:16 @ Then the soldiers led Him away into the court of the Palace (the Praetorium), and calling together the whole battalion

wmth@Mark:15:17 @ they arrayed Him in crimson, placed on His head a wreath of thorny twigs which they had twisted,

wmth@Mark:15:18 @ and went on to salute Him with shouts of »Long live the King of the Jews.«

wmth@Mark:15:20 @ At last, having finished their sport, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.

wmth@Mark:15:21 @ One Simon, a Cyrenaean, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing along, coming from the country: him they compelled to carry His cross.

wmth@Mark:15:23 @ Here they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh; but He refused it.

wmth@Mark:15:26 @ Over His head was the notice in writing of the charge against Him: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

wmth@Mark:15:31 @ In the same way the High Priests also, as well as the Scribes, kept on scoffing at Him, saying to one another, »He has saved others: himself he cannot save!

wmth@Mark:15:32 @ This Christ, the King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.« Even the men who were being crucified with Him heaped insults on Him.

wmth@Mark:15:35 @ Some of the bystanders, hearing Him, said, »Listen, he is calling for Elijah!«

wmth@Mark:15:36 @ Then a man ran to fill a sponge with sour wine, and he put it on the end of a cane and placed it to His lips, saying at the same time, »Wait! let us see whether Elijah will come and take him down.«

wmth@Mark:15:39 @ And when the Centurion who stood in front of the cross saw that He was dead, he exclaimed, »This man was indeed God's Son.«

wmth@Mark:15:40 @ There were also a party of women looking on from a distance; among them being both Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of James the Little and of Joses, and Salome–

wmth@Mark:15:41 @ all of whom in the Galilaean days had habitually been with Him and cared for Him, as well as many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with Him.

wmth@Mark:15:43 @ Joseph of Arimathaea came, a highly respected member of the Council, who himself also was living in expectation of the Kingdom of God. He summoned up courage to go in to see Pilate and beg for the body of Jesus.

wmth@Mark:15:46 @ He, having bought a sheet of linen, took Him down, wrapped Him in the sheet and laid Him in a tomb hewn in the rock; after which he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.

wmth@Mark:15:47 @ Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where He was put.

wmth@Mark:16:1 @ When the Sabbath was over, Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, in order to come and anoint His body.

wmth@Mark:16:2 @ So, very soon after sunrise on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb;

wmth@Mark:16:4 @ But then, looking up, they saw that the stone was already rolled back: for it was of immense size.

wmth@Mark:16:9 @ [But He rose to life early on the first day of the week, and appeared first to Mary of Magdala from whom He had expelled seven demons.

wmth@Mark:16:12 @ Afterwards He showed Himself in another form to two of them as they were walking, on their way into the country.

wmth@Mark:16:17 @ And signs shall attend those who believe, even such as these. By making use of my name they shall expel demons. They shall speak new languages.

wmth@Mark:16:19 @ So the Lord Jesus after having thus spoken to them was taken up into Heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

wmth@Luke:1:4 @ that you may fully know the truth of the things which you have been taught by word of mouth.

wmth@Luke:1:5 @ There was in the time of Herod, the king of Judaea, a priest of the name of Zechariah, belonging to the class of Abijah. He had a wife who was a descendant of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

wmth@Luke:1:6 @ They were both of them upright before God, blamelessly obeying all the Lord's precepts and ordinances.

wmth@Luke:1:7 @ But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren; and both of them were far advanced in life.

wmth@Luke:1:8 @ Now while he was doing priestly duty before God in the prescribed course of his class,

wmth@Luke:1:9 @ it fell to his lot –according to the custom of the priesthood– to go into the Sanctuary of the Lord and burn the incense;

wmth@Luke:1:10 @ and the whole multitude of the people were outside praying, at the hour of incense.

wmth@Luke:1:11 @ Then there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense;

wmth@Luke:1:15 @ For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; no wine or fermented drink shall he ever drink; but he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from the very hour of his birth.

wmth@Luke:1:16 @ Many of the descendants of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God;

wmth@Luke:1:17 @ and he will be His forerunner in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn fathers' hearts to the children, and cause the rebellious to walk in the wisdom of the upright, to make a people perfectly ready for the lord.«

wmth@Luke:1:18 @ »By what proof,« asked Zechariah, »shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in years.«

wmth@Luke:1:19 @ »I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God,« answered the angel, »and I have been sent to talk with you and tell you this good news.

wmth@Luke:1:23 @ When his days of service were at an end, he went to his home;

wmth@Luke:1:24 @ and in course of time his wife Elizabeth conceived, and kept herself secluded five months.

wmth@Luke:1:27 @ to a maiden betrothed to a man of the name of Joseph, a descendant of David. The maiden's name was Mary.

wmth@Luke:1:35 @ The angel answered, »The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for this reason your holy offspring will be called `the Son of God.'

wmth@Luke:1:37 @ For no promise from God will be impossible of fulfilment.«

wmth@Luke:1:40 @ Here she came to the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth;

wmth@Luke:1:42 @ and uttered a loud cry of joy. »Blest among women are you,« she said, »and the offspring of your body is blest!

wmth@Luke:1:43 @ But why is this honour done me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

wmth@Luke:1:51 @ He has manifested His supreme strength. He has scattered those who were haughty in the thoughts of their hearts.

wmth@Luke:1:67 @ And Zechariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke in a rapture of praise.

wmth@Luke:1:68 @ »Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,« he said, »Because He has not forgotten His people but has effected redemption for them,

wmth@Luke:2:1 @ Just at this time an edict was issued by Caesar Augustus for the registration of the whole Empire.

wmth@Luke:2:2 @ It was the first registration made during the governorship of Quirinius in Syria;

wmth@Luke:2:4 @ So Joseph went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judaea, to David's town of Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,

wmth@Luke:2:8 @ Now there were shepherds in the same part of the country, keeping watch over their sheep by night in the open fields,

wmth@Luke:2:9 @ when suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them; and they were filled with terror.

wmth@Luke:2:10 @ But the angel said to them, »Put away all fear; for I am bringing you good news of great joy–joy for all the People.

wmth@Luke:2:11 @ For a Saviour who is the Anointed Lord is born to you to-day, in the town of David.

wmth@Luke:2:13 @ And immediately there was with the angel a multitude of the army of Heaven praising God and saying,

wmth@Luke:2:19 @ But Mary treasured up all these things, often dwelling on them in her mind.

wmth@Luke:2:22 @ And when the days for their purification appointed by the Law of Moses had passed, they took Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord–

wmth@Luke:2:23 @ as it is written in the Law of the Lord:

wmth@Luke:2:24 @ During the passage He fell asleep, and there came down a squall of wind on the Lake, so that the boat began to fill and they were in deadly peril.

wmth@Luke:2:25 @ And they also offered a sacrifice as commanded in the Law of the Lord,

wmth@Luke:2:26 @ Now there was a man in Jerusalem of the name of Symeon, an upright and God-fearing man, who was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

wmth@Luke:2:28 @ Led by the Spirit he came to the Temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do with regard to Him according to the custom of the Law,

wmth@Luke:2:30 @ »Now, O Sovereign Lord, Thou dost send Thy servant away in peace, in fulfilment of Thy word,

wmth@Luke:2:32 @ Which Thou hast made ready in the sight of all nations–

wmth@Luke:2:33 @ A light to shine upon the Gentiles, And the glory of Thy people Israel.«

wmth@Luke:2:34 @ And while the child's father and mother were wondering at the words of Symeon concerning Him,

wmth@Luke:2:35 @ Symeon blessed them and said to Mary the mother, »This child is appointed for the falling and the uprising of many in Israel and for a token to be spoken against;

wmth@Luke:2:37 @ There was also Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, belonging to the tribe of Asher. She was of a very great age, having had after her maidenhood seven years of married life,

wmth@Luke:2:38 @ and then being a widow of eighty-four years. She was never absent from the Temple, but worshipped, by day and by night, with fasting and prayer.

wmth@Luke:2:39 @ And coming up just at that moment, she gave thanks to God, and spoke about the child to all who were expecting the deliverance of Jerusalem.

wmth@Luke:2:40 @ Then, as soon as they had accomplished all that the Law required, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.

wmth@Luke:2:41 @ And the child grew and became strong and full of wisdom, and the favour of God rested upon Him.

wmth@Luke:2:42 @ Now His parents used to go up year by year to Jerusalem at the Feast of the Passover.

wmth@Luke:2:43 @ And when He was twelve years old they went up as was customary at the time of the Feast, and,

wmth@Luke:2:44 @ after staying the full number of days, when they started back home the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not discover this,

wmth@Luke:2:51 @ But they did not understand the significance of these words.

wmth@Luke:3:1 @ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being Governor of Judaea, Herod Tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip Tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias Tetrarch of Abilene,

wmth@Luke:3:2 @ during the High-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, a message from God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the Desert.

wmth@Luke:3:9 @ And even now the axe is lying at the root of the trees, so that every tree which fails to yield good fruit will quickly be hewn down and thrown into the fire.«

wmth@Luke:3:12 @ There came also a party of tax-gatherers to be baptized, and they asked him, »Rabbi, what are we to do?«

wmth@Luke:3:14 @ The soldiers also once and again inquired of him, »And we, what are we to do?« His answer was, »Neither intimidate any one nor lay false charges; and be content with your pay.«

wmth@Luke:3:23 @ And He –Jesus– when He began His ministry, was about thirty years old. He was the son (it was supposed) of Joseph, son of Heli,

wmth@Luke:4:2 @ tempted all the while by the Devil. During those days He ate nothing, and at the close of them He suffered from hunger.

wmth@Luke:4:5 @ The Devil next led Him up and caused Him to see at a glance all the kingdoms of the world.

wmth@Luke:4:9 @ Then he brought Him to Jerusalem and caused Him to stand on the roof of the Temple, and said to Him, »If you are God's Son, throw yourself down from here; for it is written,

wmth@Luke:4:13 @ So the Devil, having fully tried every kind of temptation on Him, left Him for a time.

wmth@Luke:4:17 @ And there was handed to Him the book of the Prophet Isaiah, and, opening the book, He found the place where it was written,

wmth@Luke:4:20 @ And rolling up the book, He returned it to the attendant, and sat down–to speak. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him.

wmth@Luke:4:22 @ And they all spoke well of Him, wondering at the sweet words of kindness which fell from His lips, while they asked one another, »Is not this Joseph's son?«

wmth@Luke:4:25 @ But I tell you in truth that there was many a widow in Israel in the time of Elijah, when there was no rain for three years and six months and there came a severe famine over all the land;

wmth@Luke:4:26 @ and yet to not one of them was Elijah sent: he was only sent to a widow at Zarephath in the Sidonian country.

wmth@Luke:4:27 @ And there was also many a leper in Israel in the time of the Prophet Elisha, and yet not one of them was cleansed, but Naaman the Syrian was.«

wmth@Luke:4:29 @ They rose, hurried Him outside the town, and brought Him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, to throw Him down the cliff;

wmth@Luke:4:30 @ but He passed through the midst of them and went His way.

wmth@Luke:4:32 @ And they were greatly impressed by His teaching, because He spoke with the language of authority.

wmth@Luke:4:33 @ But in the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of a foul demon. In a loud voice he cried out,

wmth@Luke:4:35 @ But Jesus rebuked the demon. »Silence!« He exclaimed; »come out of him.« Upon this, the demon hurled the man into the midst of them, and came out of him without doing him any harm.

wmth@Luke:4:36 @ All were astonished and awe-struck; and they asked one another, »What sort of language is this? For with authority and real power He gives orders to the foul spirits and they come out.«

wmth@Luke:4:37 @ And the talk about Him spread into every part of the neighbouring country.

wmth@Luke:4:38 @ Now when He rose and left the synagogue He went to Simon's house. Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from an acute attack of fever; and they consulted Him about her.

wmth@Luke:4:41 @ Demons also came out of many, loudly calling out, »You are the Son of God.« But He rebuked them and forbad them to speak, because they knew Him to be the Christ.

wmth@Luke:4:43 @ But He said to them, »I have to tell the Good News of the Kingdom of God to the other towns also, because for this purpose I was sent.«

wmth@Luke:5:1 @ On one occasion the crowd was pressing on Him and listening to God's Message, while He was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret.

wmth@Luke:5:3 @ and going on board one of them, which was Simon's He asked him to push out a little from land. Then He sat down and taught the crowd of people from the boat.

wmth@Luke:5:6 @ This they did, and enclosed a vast number of fish; and their nets began to break.

wmth@Luke:5:8 @ When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, and exclaimed, »Master, leave my boat, for I am a sinful man.«

wmth@Luke:5:9 @ (For he was astonished and terrified –he and all his companions– at the haul of fish which they had taken;

wmth@Luke:5:10 @ and so were Simon's partners James and John, the sons of Zabdi.) But Jesus replied to Simon, »Fear not: from this time you shall be a catcher of men.«

wmth@Luke:5:12 @ On another occasion, when He was in one of the towns, there was a man there covered with leprosy, who, seeing Jesus, threw himself at His feet and implored Him, saying, »Sir, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean.«

wmth@Luke:5:14 @ He ordered him to tell no one. »But go,« He said, »show yourself to the Priest, and make the offering for your purification which Moses appointed, as evidence for them.«

wmth@Luke:5:15 @ But all the more the report about Him spread abroad, and great multitudes crowded to hear Him and to be cured of their diseases;

wmth@Luke:5:17 @ One day He was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the Law sitting there who had come from every village in Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present for Him to cure people.

wmth@Luke:5:18 @ And a party of men came carrying a palsied man on a bed, and they endeavoured to bring him in and lay him before Jesus.

wmth@Luke:5:19 @ But when they could find no way of doing so because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiling –bed and all– into the midst, in front of Jesus.

wmth@Luke:5:22 @ Well aware of their reasonings, Jesus answered their questions by asking in turn, »What is this that you are debating in your hearts?

wmth@Luke:5:24 @ But to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins« –Turning to the paralytic He said, »I bid you, Rise, take up your bed, and go home.«

wmth@Luke:5:27 @ After this He went out and noticed a tax-gatherer, Levi by name, sitting at the Toll office; and He said to him, »Follow me.«

wmth@Luke:5:29 @ Levi also gave a great entertainment at his house in honour of Jesus, and there was a large party of tax-gatherers and others at table with them.

wmth@Luke:5:30 @ This led the Pharisees and Scribes of their party to expostulate with His disciples and ask, »Why are you eating and drinking with these tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?«

wmth@Luke:5:33 @ Again they said to Him, »John's disciples fast often and pray, as do also those of the pharisees; but yours eat and drink.«

wmth@Luke:6:2 @ And some of the Pharisees asked, »Why are you doing what the Law forbids on the Sabbath?«

wmth@Luke:6:4 @ how he entered the house of God and took and ate the Presented Loaves and gave some to his followers–loaves which none but the Priests are allowed to eat?«

wmth@Luke:6:5 @ »The Son of Man,« He added, »is Lord of the Sabbath also.«

wmth@Luke:6:14 @ These were Simon, to whom also He had given the name of Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

wmth@Luke:6:15 @ Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;

wmth@Luke:6:17 @ With these He came down till He reached a level place, where there was a great crowd of His disciples, and a multitude of people from every part of Judaea, from Jerusalem, and from the sea-side district of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be cured of their diseases;

wmth@Luke:6:20 @ Then fixing His eyes upon His disciples, Jesus said to them, »Blessed are you poor, because the Kingdom of God is yours.

wmth@Luke:6:22 @ »Blessed are you when men shall hate you and exclude you from their society and insult you, and spurn your very names as evil things, for the Son of Man's sake.«

wmth@Luke:6:26 @ »Alas for you when men shall all have spoken well of you; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the false Prophets!«

wmth@Luke:6:27 @ »But to you who are listening to me I say, Love your enemies; seek the welfare of those who hate you;«

wmth@Luke:6:29 @ To him who gives you a blow on one side of the face offer the other side also; and to him who is robbing you of your outer garment refuse not the under one also.

wmth@Luke:6:35 @ Nevertheless love your enemies, be beneficent; and lend without hoping for any repayment. Then your recompense shall be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

wmth@Luke:6:41 @ »And why look at the splinter in your brother's eye instead of giving careful attention to the beam in your own?«

wmth@Luke:6:42 @ How can you say to your brother, `Brother, let me take that splinter out of your eye,' when all the while you yourself do not see the beam in your own eye? Vain pretender! take the beam out of your own eye first, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother's eye.

wmth@Luke:6:44 @ Every tree is known by its own fruit. It is not from thorns that men gather figs, nor from the bramble that they can get a bunch of grapes.

wmth@Luke:6:45 @ A good man from the good stored up in his heart brings out what is good; and an evil man from the evil stored up brings out what is evil; for from the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.

wmth@Luke:6:49 @ But he who has heard and not practised is like a man who has built a house upon the soft soil without a foundation, against which the torrent bursts, and immediately it collapses, and terrible is the wreck and ruin of that house.«

wmth@Luke:7:1 @ After He had finished teaching all these things in the hearing of the people, He went into Capernaum.

wmth@Luke:7:2 @ Here the servant of a certain Captain, a man dear to his master, was ill and at the point of death;

wmth@Luke:7:3 @ and the Captain, hearing about Jesus, sent to Him some of the Jewish Elders, begging Him to come and restore his servant to health.

wmth@Luke:7:6 @ Then Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the Captain sent friends to Him with the message: »Sir, do not trouble to come. I am not worthy of having you come under my roof;

wmth@Luke:7:11 @ Shortly afterwards He went to a town called Nain, attended by His disciples and a great crowd of people.

wmth@Luke:7:12 @ And just as He reached the gate of the town, they happened to be bringing out for burial a dead man who was his mother's only son; and she was a widow; and a great number of the townspeople were with her.

wmth@Luke:7:17 @ And the report of what Jesus had done spread through the whole of Judaea and in all the surrounding districts.

wmth@Luke:7:18 @ John's disciples brought him an account of all these things;

wmth@Luke:7:19 @ so John called two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord. »Are you the Coming One?« he asked, »or is there another that we are to expect?«

wmth@Luke:7:21 @ He immediately cured many of diseases, severe pain, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind He gave the gift of sight.

wmth@Luke:7:23 @ And blessed is every one who does not stumble and fall because of my claims.«

wmth@Luke:7:28 @ »I tell you that among all of women born there is not one greater than John. Yet one who is of lower rank in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.«

wmth@Luke:7:29 @ And all the people, including the tax-gatherers, when they listened to him upheld the righteousness of God, by being baptized with John's baptism.

wmth@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and expounders of the Law have frustrated God's purpose as to their own lives, by refusing to be baptized.

wmth@Luke:7:31 @ »To what then shall I compare the men of the present generation, and what do they resemble?«

wmth@Luke:7:34 @ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, `Look, there is a man who is overfond of eating and drinking–he is a friend of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners!'

wmth@Luke:7:36 @ Now one of the Pharisees repeatedly invited Him to a meal at his house; so He entered the house and reclined at the table.

wmth@Luke:7:37 @ And there was a woman in the town who was a notorious sinner. Having learnt that Jesus was at table in the Pharisee's house she brought a flask of perfume,

wmth@Luke:7:39 @ Noticing this, the Pharisee, His host, said to himself, »This man, if he were really a Prophet, would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching him–and would know that she is an immoral woman.«

wmth@Luke:7:42 @ But neither of them could pay anything; so he freely forgave them both. Tell me, then, which of them will love him most?«

wmth@Luke:7:45 @ No kiss did you give me; but she from the moment I came in has not left off tenderly kissing my feet.

wmth@Luke:8:1 @ Shortly after this He visited town after town, and village after village, proclaiming His Message and telling the Good News of the Kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,

wmth@Luke:8:2 @ and certain women whom He had delivered from evil spirits and various diseases–Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons had come,

wmth@Luke:8:3 @ and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many other women, all of whom contributed to the support of Jesus and His Apostles.

wmth@Luke:8:5 @ »The sower,« He said, »goes out to sow his seed; and as he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and is trodden upon, or the birds of the air come and peck it up.

wmth@Luke:8:6 @ Another part drops upon the rock, and after growing up it withers away for want of moisture.

wmth@Luke:8:8 @ But some of the seed falls into good ground, and grows up and yields a return of a hundred for one.« While thus speaking, He cried aloud and said, »Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!«

wmth@Luke:8:10 @ »To you,« He replied, »it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God; but all others are taught by parables, in order that they may see and yet not see, and may hear and yet not understand.

wmth@Luke:8:11 @ The meaning of the parable is as follows. The seed is God's Message.

wmth@Luke:8:14 @ That which fell among the thorns means those who have heard, but as they go on their way, the Message is stifled by the anxieties, wealth and gaieties of time, and they yield nothing in perfection.

wmth@Luke:8:17 @ There is nothing hidden, which shall not be openly seen; nor anything secret, which shall not be known and come into the light of day.

wmth@Luke:8:20 @ But He was told, »Your mother and brothers are standing on the edge of the crowd, and want to see you.«

wmth@Luke:8:22 @ One day He went on board a boat–both He and his disciples; and He said to them, »Let us cross over to the other side of the Lake.« So they set sail.

wmth@Luke:8:24 @ So they came and woke Him, crying, »Rabbi, Rabbi, we are drowning.« Then He roused Himself and rebuked the wind and the surging of the water, and they ceased and there was a calm.

wmth@Luke:8:26 @ Then they put in to shore in the country of the Gerasenes, which lies opposite to Galilee.

wmth@Luke:8:27 @ Here, on landing, He was met by one of the townsmen who was possessed by demons–for a long time he had not put on any garment, nor did he live in a house, but in the tombs.

wmth@Luke:8:28 @ When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, and said in a loud voice, »What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of God Most High? Do not torture me, I beseech you.«

wmth@Luke:8:29 @ For already He had been commanding the foul spirit to come out of the man. For many a time it had seized and held him, and they had repeatedly put him in chains and fetters and kept guard over him, but he used to break the chains to pieces, and, impelled by the demon, to escape into the Desert.

wmth@Luke:8:30 @ »What is your name?« Jesus asked him. »Legion,« he replied–because a great number of demons had entered into him;

wmth@Luke:8:32 @ Now there was a great herd of swine there feeding on the hill-side; and the demons begged Him to give them leave to go into them, and He gave them leave.

wmth@Luke:8:33 @ The demons came out of the man and left him, and entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently over the cliff into the Lake and were drowned.

wmth@Luke:8:35 @ whereupon the people came out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were terrified.

wmth@Luke:8:37 @ Then the whole population of the Gerasenes and of the adjacent districts begged Him to depart from them; for their terror was great. So He went on board and returned.

wmth@Luke:8:41 @ Just then there came a man named Jair, a Warden of the Synagogue, who threw himself at the feet of Jesus, and entreated Him to come to his house;

wmth@Luke:8:43 @ And a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage –and had spent on doctors all she had, but none of them had been able to cure her–

wmth@Luke:8:44 @ came close behind Him and touched the tassel of His robe; and instantly her flow of blood stopped.

wmth@Luke:8:49 @ While He was still speaking, some one came to the Warden of the Synagogue from his house and said, »Your daughter is dead; trouble the Rabbi no further.«

wmth@Luke:8:52 @ The people were all weeping aloud and beating their breasts for her; but He said, »Leave off wailing; for she is not dead, but asleep.«

wmth@Luke:9:2 @ and sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to cure the sick.

wmth@Luke:9:5 @ Wherever they refuse to receive you, as you leave that town shake off the very dust from your feet as a protest against them.«

wmth@Luke:9:7 @ Now Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that was going on; and he was bewildered because of its being said by some that John had come back to life,

wmth@Luke:9:8 @ by others that Elijah had appeared, and by others that some one of the ancient Prophets had come back to life.

wmth@Luke:9:9 @ And Herod said, »John I have beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such reports?« And he sought for an opportunity of seeing Jesus.

wmth@Luke:9:11 @ But the immense crowd, aware of this, followed Him; and receiving them kindly He proceeded to speak to them of the Kingdom of God, and those who needed to be restored to health, He cured.

wmth@Luke:9:12 @ Now when the day began to decline, the Twelve came to Him and said, »Send the people away, that they may go to the villages and farms round about and find lodging and a supply of food; because here we are in an uninhabited district.«

wmth@Luke:9:13 @ »You yourselves,« He said, »must give them food.«»We have nothing,« they replied, »but five loaves and a couple of fish, unless indeed we were to go and buy provisions for all this host of people.«

wmth@Luke:9:14 @ (For there were about 5,000 adult men.) But He said to His disciples, »Make them sit down in parties of about fifty each.«

wmth@Luke:9:17 @ So they ate and were fully satisfied, all of them; and what they had remaining over was gathered up, twelve baskets of fragments.

wmth@Luke:9:19 @ »John the Baptist,« they replied; »but others say Elijah; and others that some one of the ancient Prophets has come back to life.«

wmth@Luke:9:22 @ and He said, »The Son of Man must suffer much cruelty, be rejected by the Elders and High Priests and Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised to life again.«

wmth@Luke:9:23 @ And He said to all, »If any one is desirous of following me, let him ignore self and take up his cross day by day, and so be my follower.

wmth@Luke:9:26 @ For whoever shall have been ashamed of me and my teachings, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own and the Father's glory and in that of the holy angels.

wmth@Luke:9:27 @ I tell you truly that there are some of those who stand here who will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God.«

wmth@Luke:9:29 @ And while He was praying the appearance of His face underwent a change, and His clothing became white and radiant.

wmth@Luke:9:43 @ And all were awe-struck at the mighty power of God. And while every one was expressing wonder at all that He was doing, He said to his disciples,

wmth@Luke:9:44 @ »As for you, store these my sayings in your memory; for, before long, the Son of Man will be betrayed into the hands of men.«

wmth@Luke:9:46 @ Now there arose a dispute among them, which of them was to be the greatest.

wmth@Luke:9:49 @ »Rabbi,« replied John, »we have seen a man making use of your name to expel demons; and we forbad him, because he does not come with us.«

wmth@Luke:9:52 @ They went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for Him.

wmth@Luke:9:58 @ »The foxes have holes,« said Jesus, »and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.«

wmth@Luke:20:10 @ At vintage-time he sent a servant to the vine-dressers, for them to give him a share of the crop; but the vine-dressers beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.

wmth@Luke:20:13 @ Then the owner of the vineyard said, »`What am I to do? I will send my son–my dearly-loved son: they will probably respect him.'

wmth@Luke:20:15 @ »So they turned him out of the vineyard and murdered him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?«

wmth@Luke:20:19 @ At this the Scribes and the High Priests wanted to lay hands on Him, then and there; only they were afraid of the people. For they saw that in this parable He had referred to them.

wmth@Luke:20:20 @ So, after impatiently watching their opportunity, they sent spies who were to act the part of good and honest men, that they might fasten on some expression of His, so as to hand Him over to the ruling power and the Governor's authority.

wmth@Luke:20:26 @ There was nothing here that they could lay hold of before the people, and marvelling at His answer they said no more.

wmth@Luke:20:27 @ Next some of the Sadducees came forward (who deny that there is a Resurrection), and they asked Him,

wmth@Luke:20:29 @ Now there were seven brothers. The first of them took a wife and died childless.

wmth@Luke:20:34 @ »The men of this age,« replied Jesus, »marry, and the women are given in marriage.

wmth@Luke:20:36 @ For indeed they cannot die again; they are like angels, and are sons of God through being sons of the Resurrection.

wmth@Luke:20:38 @ He is not a God of dead, but of living men, for to Him are all living.«

wmth@Luke:20:39 @ Then some of the Scribes replied, »Rabbi, you have spoken well.«

wmth@Luke:20:41 @ But He asked them, »How is it they say that the Christ is a son of David?

wmth@Luke:20:42 @ Why, David himself says in the Book of Psalms,

wmth@Luke:20:47 @ who swallow up the property of widows and mask their wickedness by making long prayers. They will be punished far more severely than others.«

wmth@Luke:21:3 @ and He said, »In truth I tell you that this widow, so poor, has thrown in more than any of them.

wmth@Luke:21:4 @ For from what they could well spare they have all of them contributed to the offerings, but she in her need has thrown in all she had to live on.«

wmth@Luke:21:8 @ »See to it,« He replied, »that you are not misled; for many will come assuming my name and professing, `I am He,' or saying, `The time is close at hand.' Do not go and follow them.

wmth@Luke:21:9 @ But when you hear of wars and turmoils, be not afraid; for these things must happen first, but the end does not come immediately.«

wmth@Luke:21:13 @ In the end all this will be evidence of your fidelity.

wmth@Luke:21:15 @ for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to withstand or reply to.«

wmth@Luke:21:22 @ For those are the and of fulfilling all that is written.

wmth@Luke:21:24 @ They will fall by the sword, or be carried off into slavery among all the Gentiles. And Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles, till the appointed times of the Gentiles have expired.

wmth@Luke:21:25 @ »There will be signs in sun, moon, and stars; and on earth anguish among the nations in their bewilderment at the roaring of the sea and its billows;«

wmth@Luke:21:36 @ But beware of slumbering; and every moment pray that you may be fully strengthened to escape from all these coming evils, and to take your stand in the presence of the Son of Man.«

wmth@Luke:22:1 @ Meanwhile the Festival of the Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,

wmth@Luke:22:3 @ Satan, however, entered into Judas (the man called Iscariot) who was one of the Twelve.

wmth@Luke:22:6 @ He accepted their offer, and then looked out for an opportunity to betray Him when the people were not there.

wmth@Luke:22:7 @ When the day of the Unleavened Bread came –the day for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed–

wmth@Luke:22:10 @ »You will no sooner have entered the city,« He replied, »than you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him into the house to which he goes,

wmth@Luke:22:11 @ and say to the master of the house, »`The Rabbi asks you, Where is the room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?'

wmth@Luke:22:16 @ for I tell you that I certainly shall not eat one again till its full meaning has been brought out in the Kingdom of God.«

wmth@Luke:22:18 @ for I tell you that from this time I will never drink the produce of the vine till the Kingdom of God has come.«

wmth@Luke:22:19 @ Then, taking a Passover biscuit, He gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, »This is my body which is being given on your behalf: this do in remembrance of me.«

wmth@Luke:22:21 @ Yet the hand of him who is betraying me is at the table with me.

wmth@Luke:22:22 @ For indeed the Son of Man goes on His way–His pre-destined way; yet alas for that man who is betraying Him!«

wmth@Luke:22:23 @ Thereupon they began to discuss with one another which of them it could possibly be who was about to do this.

wmth@Luke:22:24 @ There arose also a dispute among them which of them should be regarded as greatest.

wmth@Luke:22:25 @ But He said to them, »The kings of the Gentiles are their masters, and those who exercise authority over them are called Benefactors.

wmth@Luke:22:27 @ For which is the greater–he who sits at table, or he who waits on him? Is it not he who sits at table? But my position among you is that of one who waits on others.

wmth@Luke:22:30 @ so that you shall eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and sit on thrones as judges over the twelve tribes of Israel.

wmth@Luke:22:31 @ »Simon, Simon, I tell you that Satan has obtained permission to have all of you to sift as wheat is sifted.

wmth@Luke:22:37 @ For I tell you that those words of Scripture must yet find their fulfilment in me: for indeed that saying about me has its accomplishment.«

wmth@Luke:22:39 @ On going out, He proceeded as usual to the Mount of Olives, and His disciples followed Him.

wmth@Luke:22:44 @ while He –an agony of distress having come upon Him– prayed all the more with intense earnestness, and His sweat became like clots of blood dropping on the ground.

wmth@Luke:22:47 @ While He was still speaking there came a crowd with Judas, already mentioned as one of the Twelve, at their head. He went up to Jesus to kiss Him.

wmth@Luke:22:48 @ »Judas,« said Jesus, »are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?«

wmth@Luke:22:50 @ And one of them struck a blow at the High Priest's servant and cut off his right ear.

wmth@Luke:22:52 @ Then Jesus said to the High Priests and Commanders of the Temple and Elders, who had come to arrest Him, »Have you come out as if to fight with a robber, with swords and cudgels?

wmth@Luke:22:53 @ While day after day I was with you in the Temple, you did not lay hands upon me; but to you belongs this hour–and the power of darkness.«

wmth@Luke:22:55 @ And when they had lighted a fire in the middle of the court and had seated themselves in a group round it, Peter was sitting among them,

wmth@Luke:22:58 @ Shortly afterwards a man saw him and said, »You, too, are one of them.«»No, man, I am not,« said Peter.

wmth@Luke:22:59 @ After an interval of about an hour some one else stoutly maintained:»Certainly this fellow also was with him, for in fact he is a Galilaean.«

wmth@Luke:22:66 @ As soon as it was day, the whole body of the Elders, both High Priests and Scribes, assembled. Then He was brought into their Sanhedrin, and they asked Him,

wmth@Luke:22:69 @ But from this time forward the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of God's omnipotence.«

wmth@Luke:22:70 @ Thereupon they cried out with one voice, »You, then, are the Son of God?«»It is as you say,« He answered; »I am He.«

wmth@Luke:22:71 @ »What need have we of further evidence?« they said; »for we ourselves have heard it from his own lips.«

wmth@Luke:23:2 @ »We have found this man,« they said, »an agitator among our nation, forbidding the payment of tribute to Caesar, and claiming to be himself an anointed king.«

wmth@Luke:23:3 @ Then Pilate asked Him, »You, then, are the King of the Jews?«»It is as you say,« He replied.

wmth@Luke:23:8 @ To Herod the sight of Jesus was a great gratification, for, for a long time, he had been wanting to see Him, because he had heard so much about Him. He hoped also to see some miracle performed by Him.

wmth@Luke:23:9 @ So he put a number of questions to Him, but Jesus gave him no reply.

wmth@Luke:23:11 @ Then, laughing to scorn the claims of Jesus, Herod (and his soldiers with him) made sport of Him, dressed Him in a gorgeous costume, and sent Him back to Pilate.

wmth@Luke:23:14 @ »You have brought this man to me on a charge of corrupting the loyalty of the people. But, you see, I have examined him in your presence and have discovered in the man no ground for the accusations which you bring against him.

wmth@Luke:23:27 @ A vast crowd of the people also followed Him, and of women who were beating their breasts and wailing for Him.

wmth@Luke:23:28 @ But Jesus turned towards them and said, »Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

wmth@Luke:23:31 @ For if they are doing these things in the case of the green tree, what will be done in that of the dry?«

wmth@Luke:23:36 @ And the soldiers also made sport of Him, coming and offering Him sour wine and saying,

wmth@Luke:23:37 @ »Are the King of the Jews? Save yourself, then!«

wmth@Luke:23:38 @ There was moreover a writing over His head: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

wmth@Luke:23:39 @ Now one of the criminals who had been crucified insulted Him, saying, »Are not you the Christ? Save yourself and us.«

wmth@Luke:23:45 @ The sun was darkened, and the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn down the middle,

wmth@Luke:23:50 @ There was a member of the Council of the name of Joseph, a kind-hearted and upright man,

wmth@Luke:23:51 @ who came from the Jewish town of Arimathaea and was awaiting the coming of the Kingdom of God. He had not concurred in the design or action of the Council,

wmth@Luke:24:1 @ And, on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices they had prepared.

wmth@Luke:24:3 @ and on entering they found that the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.

wmth@Luke:24:7 @ when He told you that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.«

wmth@Luke:24:10 @ The women were Mary of Magdala, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; and they and the rest of the women related all this to the Apostles.

wmth@Luke:24:13 @ On that same day two of the disciples were walking to Emmaus, a village seven or eight miles from Jerusalem,

wmth@Luke:24:15 @ and, in the midst of their conversation and discussion, Jesus Himself came and joined them,

wmth@Luke:24:17 @ »What is the subject,« He asked them, »on which you are talking so earnestly, as you walk?« And they stood still, looking full of sorrow.

wmth@Luke:24:18 @ Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered, »Are you a stranger lodging alone in Jerusalem, that you have known nothing of the things that have lately happened in the city?«

wmth@Luke:24:22 @ And, besides, some of the women of our company have amazed us. They went to the tomb at daybreak,

wmth@Luke:24:23 @ and, finding that His body was not there, they came and declared to us that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive.

wmth@Luke:24:24 @ Thereupon some of our party went to the tomb and found things just as the women had said; but Jesus Himself they did not see.«

wmth@Luke:24:35 @ Then they related what had happened on the way, and how He had been recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

wmth@Luke:24:41 @ But, while they still could not believe it for joy and were full of astonishment, He asked them, »Have you any food here?«

wmth@Luke:24:42 @ And they gave Him a piece of roasted fish,

wmth@Luke:24:44 @ And He said to them, »This is what I told you while I was still with you–that everything must be fulfilled that is written in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and the Psalms concerning me.«

wmth@Luke:24:47 @ and that proclamation would be made, in His name, of repentance and forgiveness of sins to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

wmth@Luke:24:50 @ And He brought them out to within view of Bethany, and then lifted up His hands and blessed them.

wmth@John:1:4 @ In Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of men.

wmth@John:1:12 @ But all who have received Him, to them –that is, to those who trust in His name– He has given the privilege of becoming children of God;

wmth@John:1:13 @ who were begotten as such not by human descent, nor through an impulse of their own nature, nor through the will of a human father, but from God.

wmth@John:1:14 @ And the Word came in the flesh, and lived for a time in our midst, so that we saw His glory–the glory as of the Father's only Son, sent from His presence. He was full of grace and truth.

wmth@John:1:15 @ John gave testimony concerning Him and cried aloud, saying, »This is He of whom I said, `He who is coming after me has been put before me,' for He was before me.«

wmth@John:1:19 @ This also is John's testimony, when the Jews sent to him a deputation of Priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him who he was.

wmth@John:1:22 @ So they pressed the question. »Who are you?« they said– »that we may take an answer to those who sent us. What account do you give of yourself?«

wmth@John:1:23 @ »I am he replied, fulfilling the words of the Prophet Isaiah.«

wmth@John:1:29 @ The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and exclaimed, »Look, that is the Lamb of God who is to take away the sin of the world!

wmth@John:1:32 @ John also gave testimony by stating: »I have seen the Spirit coming down like a dove out of Heaven; and it remained upon Him.

wmth@John:1:34 @ »This I have seen, and I have become a witness that He is the Son of God.«

wmth@John:1:35 @ Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,

wmth@John:1:36 @ when he saw Jesus passing by, and said, »Look! that is the Lamb of God!«

wmth@John:1:40 @ Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John's exclamation and followed Jesus.

wmth@John:1:42 @ He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, »You are Simon, son of John: you shall be called Cephas« –that is to say, Peter (or `Rock').

wmth@John:1:45 @ Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, »We have found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as the Prophets–Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man of Nazareth.«

wmth@John:1:46 @ »Can anything good come out of Nazareth?« replied Nathanael. »Come and see,« said Philip.

wmth@John:1:47 @ Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, and said of him, »Look! here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceitfulness!«

wmth@John:1:49 @ »Rabbi,« cried Nathanael, »you are the Son of God, you are Israel's King!«

wmth@John:1:51 @ »I tell you all in most solemn truth,« He added, »that you shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going up, and coming down to the Son of Man.«

wmth@John:2:1 @ Two days later there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,

wmth@John:2:3 @ Now the wine ran short; whereupon the mother of Jesus said to Him, »They have no wine.«

wmth@John:2:8 @ Then He said, »Now, take some out, and carry it to the President of the feast.«

wmth@John:2:11 @ This, the first of His miracles, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee, and thus displayed His glorious power; and His disciples believed in Him.

wmth@John:2:15 @ So He plaited a whip of rushes, and drove all –both sheep and bullocks– out of the Temple. The small coin of the brokers He upset on the ground and overturned their tables.

wmth@John:2:17 @ This recalled to His disciples the words of Scripture,

wmth@John:2:18 @ So the Jews asked Him, »What proof of your authority do you exhibit to us, seeing that you do these things?«

wmth@John:2:21 @ But He was speaking of the Sanctuary of His body.

wmth@John:2:23 @ Now when He was in Jerusalem, at the Festival of the Passover, many became believers in Him through watching the miracles He performed.

wmth@John:2:25 @ and did not need any one's testimony concerning a man, for He of Himself knew what was in the man.

wmth@John:3:1 @ Now there was one of the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus–a ruler among the Jews.

wmth@John:3:3 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you,« answered Jesus, »that unless a man is born anew he cannot see the Kingdom of God.«

wmth@John:3:5 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you,« replied Jesus, »that unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.

wmth@John:3:6 @ Whatever has been born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever has been born of the Spirit is spirit.

wmth@John:3:8 @ The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So is it with every one who has been born of the Spirit.«

wmth@John:3:10 @ »Are you,« replied Jesus, »`the Teacher of Israel,' and yet do you not understand these things?

wmth@John:3:11 @ In most solemn truth I tell you that we speak what we know, and give testimony of that of which we were eye-witnesses, and yet you all reject our testimony.

wmth@John:3:12 @ If I have told you earthly things and none of you believe me, how will you believe me if I tell you of things in Heaven?

wmth@John:3:13 @ There is no one who has gone up to Heaven, but there is One who has come down from Heaven, namely the Son of Man whose home is in Heaven.

wmth@John:3:14 @ And just as Moses lifted high the serpent in the Desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

wmth@John:3:15 @ in order that every one who trusts in Him may have the Life of the Ages.«

wmth@John:3:16 @ For so greatly did God love the world that He gave His only Son, that every one who trusts in Him may not perish but may have the Life of Ages.

wmth@John:3:18 @ He who trusts in Him does not come up for judgement. He who does not trust has already received sentence, because he has not his trust resting on the name of God's only Son.

wmth@John:3:23 @ And John too was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there were many pools of water there; and people came and received baptism.

wmth@John:3:25 @ As the result, a discussion having arisen on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purification,

wmth@John:3:26 @ they came to John and reported to him, »Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan and to whom you bore testimony is now baptizing, and great numbers of people are resorting to him.«

wmth@John:3:29 @ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; and the bridegroom's friend who stands by his side and listens to him, rejoices heartily on account of the bridegroom's happiness. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete.

wmth@John:3:36 @ He who believes in the Son has the Life of the Ages; he who disobeys the Son will not enter into Life, but God's anger remains upon him.

wmth@John:4:5 @ and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

wmth@John:4:7 @ Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;

wmth@John:4:13 @ »Every one,« replied Jesus, »who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;

wmth@John:4:14 @ but whoever drinks any of the water that I shall give him will never, never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become a fountain within him of water springing up for the Life of the Ages.«

wmth@John:4:22 @ You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.

wmth@John:4:27 @ Just then His disciples came, and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. Yet not one of them asked Him, »What is your wish?« or »Why are you talking with her?«

wmth@John:4:32 @ »I have food to eat,« He replied, »of which you do not know.«

wmth@John:4:36 @ The reaper gets pay and gathers in a crop in preparation for the Life of the Ages, that so the sower and the reapers may rejoice together.

wmth@John:4:37 @ For it is in this that you see the real meaning of the saying, `The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.'

wmth@John:4:38 @ I sent you to reap a harvest which is not the result of your own labours. Others have laboured, and you are getting benefit from their labours.«

wmth@John:4:39 @ Of the Samaritan population of that town a good many believed in Him because of the woman's statement when she declared, »He has told me all that I have ever done.«

wmth@John:4:41 @ Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,

wmth@John:4:42 @ and they said to the woman, »We no longer believe in Him simply because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world.«

wmth@John:4:45 @ When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been to the Festival.

wmth@John:4:46 @ So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum.

wmth@John:4:47 @ Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.

wmth@John:4:49 @ »Sir,« pleaded the officer, »come down before my child dies.«

wmth@John:4:50 @ »You may return home,« replied Jesus; »your son has recovered.« He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;

wmth@John:4:52 @ So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. »Yesterday, about seven o'clock,« they replied, »the fever left him.«

wmth@John:5:1 @ After this there was a Festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

wmth@John:5:3 @ In these there used to lie a great number of sick persons, and of people who were blind or lame or paralyzed.

wmth@John:5:18 @ On this account then the Jews were all the more eager to put Him to death–because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also spoke of God as being in a special sense His Father, thus putting Himself on a level with God.

wmth@John:5:19 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you,« replied Jesus, »that the Son can do nothing of Himself–He can only do what He sees the Father doing; for whatever He does, that the Son does in like manner.

wmth@John:5:24 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you that he who listens to my teaching and believes Him who sent me, has the Life of the Ages, and does not come under judgement, but has passed over out of death into Life.«

wmth@John:5:25 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you that a time is coming –nay, has already come– when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live.«

wmth@John:5:27 @ And He has conferred on Him authority to act as Judge, because He is the Son of Man.

wmth@John:5:29 @ they who have done what is right to the resurrection of Life, and they whose actions have been evil to the resurrection of judgement.

wmth@John:5:30 @ »I can of my own self do nothing. As I am bidden, so I judge; and mine is a just judgement, because it is not my own will that guides me, but the will of Him who sent me.«

wmth@John:5:32 @ There is Another who gives testimony concerning me, and I know that the testimony is true which He offers concerning me.

wmth@John:5:36 @ »But the testimony which I have is weightier than that of John; for the work the Father has assigned to me for me to bring it to completion –the very work which I am doing– affords testimony concerning me that the Father has sent me.«

wmth@John:5:37 @ And the Father who sent me, has given testimony concerning me. None of you have ever either heard His voice or seen what He is like.

wmth@John:5:39 @ »You search the Scriptures, because you suppose that in them you will find the Life of the Ages; and it is those Scriptures that yield testimony concerning me;«

wmth@John:6:1 @ After this Jesus went away across the Lake of Galilee (that is, the Lake of Tiberias).

wmth@John:6:7 @ »Seven pounds' worth of bread,« replied Philip, »is not enough for them all to get even a scanty meal.«

wmth@John:6:8 @ One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,

wmth@John:6:9 @ »There is a boy here with five barley loaves and a couple of fish: but what is that among so many?«

wmth@John:6:13 @ Accordingly they gathered them up; and with the fragments of the five barley loaves –the broken portions that remained over after they had done eating– they filled twelve baskets.

wmth@John:6:15 @ Perceiving, however, that they were about to come and carry Him off by force to make Him a king, Jesus withdrew again up the hill alone by Himself.

wmth@John:6:17 @ There they got on board a boat, and pushed off to cross the Lake to Capernaum. By this time it had become dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them.

wmth@John:6:22 @ Next morning the crowd who were still standing about on the other side of the Lake found that there had been but one small boat there, and they had seen that Jesus did not go on board with His disciples, but that His disciples went away without Him.

wmth@John:6:23 @ Yet a number of small boats came from Tiberias to the neighbourhood of the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

wmth@John:6:27 @ Bestow your pains not on the food which perishes, but on the food that remains unto the Life of the Ages–that food which will be the Son of Man's gift to you; for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.«

wmth@John:6:32 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you,« replied Jesus, »that Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but my Father is giving you the bread –the true bread– out of Heaven.

wmth@John:6:33 @ For God's bread is that which comes down out of Heaven and gives Life to the world.«

wmth@John:6:35 @ »I am the bread of Life,« replied Jesus; »he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never, never thirst.

wmth@John:6:38 @ For I have left Heaven and have come down to earth not to seek my own pleasure, but to do the will of Him who sent me.

wmth@John:6:39 @ And this is the will of Him who sent me, that of all that He has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it to life on the last day.

wmth@John:6:40 @ For this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on the last day.«

wmth@John:6:41 @ Now the Jews began to find fault about Him because of His claiming to be the bread which came down out of Heaven.

wmth@John:6:47 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you that he who believes has the Life of the Ages.

wmth@John:6:48 @ I am the bread of Life.

wmth@John:6:51 @ I am the living bread come down out of Heaven. If a man eats this bread, he shall live for ever. Moreover the bread which I will give is my flesh given for the life of the world.«

wmth@John:6:53 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you,« said Jesus, »that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no Life in you.

wmth@John:6:54 @ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him up on the last day.

wmth@John:6:57 @ As the ever-living Father has sent me, and I live because of the Father, so also he who eats me will live because of me.

wmth@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down out of Heaven; it is unlike that which your forefathers ate–for they ate and yet died. He who eats this bread shall live for ever.«

wmth@John:6:60 @ Many therefore of His disciples, when they heard it, said, »This is hard to accept. Who can listen to such teaching?«

wmth@John:6:62 @ »Does this seem incredible to you? What then if you were to see the Son of Man ascending again where He was before?

wmth@John:6:64 @ But there are some of you who do not believe.« For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.

wmth@John:6:66 @ Thereupon many of His disciples left Him and went away, and no longer associated with Him.

wmth@John:6:68 @ »Master,« replied Simon Peter, »to whom shall we go? Your teachings tell us of the Life of the Ages.

wmth@John:6:69 @ And we have come to believe and know that are indeed the Holy One of God.«

wmth@John:6:70 @ »Did not I choose you–the Twelve?« said Jesus, »and even of you one is a devil.«

wmth@John:6:71 @ He alluded to Judas, the son of Simon the Iscariot. For he it was who, though one of the Twelve, was afterwards to betray Him.

wmth@John:7:2 @ But the Jewish Festival of the Tent-Pitching was approaching.

wmth@John:7:12 @ Among the mass of the people there was much muttered debate about Him. Some said, »He is a good man.« Others said, »Not so: he is imposing on the people.«

wmth@John:7:13 @ Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke out boldly about Him.

wmth@John:7:15 @ The Jews were astonished. »How does this man know anything of books,« they said, »although he has never been at any of the schools?«

wmth@John:7:18 @ The man whose teaching originates with himself aims at his own glory. He who aims at the glory of Him who sent him teaches the truth, and there is no deception in him.

wmth@John:7:19 @ Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not a man of you obeys the Law. Why do you want to kill me?«

wmth@John:7:21 @ »One deed I have done,« replied Jesus, »and you are all full of wonder.

wmth@John:7:22 @ Consider therefore. Moses gave you the rite of circumcision (not that it began with Moses, but with your earlier forefathers), and even on a Sabbath day you circumcise a child.

wmth@John:7:25 @ Some however of the people of Jerusalem said, »Is not this the man they are wanting to kill?

wmth@John:7:28 @ Jesus therefore, while teaching in the Temple, cried aloud, and said, »Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. And yet I have not come of my own accord; but there is One who has sent me, an Authority indeed, of whom you have no knowledge.

wmth@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the people thus expressing their various doubts about Him, and the High Priests and the Pharisees sent some officers to apprehend Him.

wmth@John:7:36 @ What do those words of his mean, `You will look for me, but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come'?«

wmth@John:7:37 @ On the last day of the Festival –the great day– Jesus stood up and cried aloud. »Whoever is thirsty,« He said, »let him come to me and drink.

wmth@John:7:38 @ He who believes in me, from within him –as the Scripture has said– rivers of living water shall flow.«

wmth@John:7:40 @ After listening to these discourses, some of the crowd began to say, »This is beyond doubt the Prophet.«

wmth@John:7:42 @ Has not the Scripture declared that the Christ is to come of the family of David and from Bethlehem, David's village?«

wmth@John:7:44 @ Some of them wanted at once to arrest Him, but no one laid hands upon Him.

wmth@John:7:45 @ Meanwhile the officers returned to the High Priests and Pharisees, who asked them, »Why have you not brought him?«

wmth@John:7:46 @ »No mere man has ever spoken as this man speaks,« said the officers.

wmth@John:7:48 @ »has any one of the Rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?

wmth@John:7:50 @ Nicodemus interposed–he who had formerly gone to Jesus, being himself one of them.

wmth@John:7:52 @ »Do you also come from Galilee?« they asked in reply. »Search and see for yourself that no Prophet is of Galilaean origin.«

wmth@John:8:1 @ but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

wmth@John:8:2 @ At break of day however He returned to the Temple, and there the people came to Him in crowds. He seated Himself;

wmth@John:8:3 @ and was teaching them when the Scribes and the Pharisees brought to Him a woman who had been found committing adultery. They made her stand in the centre of the court, and they put the case to Him.

wmth@John:8:4 @ »Rabbi,« they said, »this woman has been found in the very act of committing adultery.

wmth@John:8:9 @ They listened to Him, and then, beginning with the eldest, took their departure, one by one, till all were gone. And Jesus was left behind alone–and the woman in the centre of the court.

wmth@John:8:12 @ Once more Jesus addressed them. »I am the Light of the world,« He said; »the man who follows me shall certainly not walk in the dark, but shall have the light of Life.«

wmth@John:8:14 @ »Even if I am giving testimony about myself,« replied Jesus, »my testimony is true; for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you know neither of these two things.

wmth@John:8:23 @ »You,« He continued, »are from below, I am from above: you are of this present world, I am not of this present world.

wmth@John:8:27 @ They did not perceive that He was speaking to them of the Father.

wmth@John:8:28 @ So Jesus added, »When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He. Of myself I do nothing; but as the Father has taught me, so I speak.

wmth@John:8:31 @ Jesus therefore said to those of the Jews who had now believed in Him, »As for you, if you hold fast to my teaching, then you are truly my disciples;

wmth@John:8:33 @ »We are descendants of Abraham,« they answered, »and have never at any time been in slavery to any one. What do those words of yours mean, `You shall become free'?«

wmth@John:8:34 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you,« replied Jesus, »that every one who commits sin is the slave of sin.

wmth@John:8:37 @ You are descendants of Abraham, I know; but you want to kill me, because my teaching gains no ground within you.

wmth@John:8:38 @ The words I speak are those I have learnt in the presence of the Father. Therefore you also should do what you have heard from your father.«

wmth@John:8:41 @ You are doing the deeds of your father. »We,« they replied, »are not illegitimate children. We have one Father, namely God.«

wmth@John:8:42 @ »If God were your Father,« said Jesus, »you would love me; for it is from God that I came and I am now here. I have not come of myself, but sent me.

Whenever he utters his lie, he utters it out of his own store; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

wmth@John:8:46 @ Which of convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?

wmth@John:8:47 @ He who is a child of God listens to God's words. You do not listen to them: and why? It is because you are not God's children.«

wmth@John:8:55 @ You do not know Him, but I know Him perfectly; and were I to deny my knowledge of Him, I should resemble you, and be a liar. On the contrary I do know Him, and I obey His commands.

wmth@John:8:56 @ Abraham your forefather exulted in the hope of seeing my day: and he saw it, and was glad.«

wmth@John:8:59 @ Thereupon they took up stones with which to stone Him, but He hid Himself and went away out of the Temple.

wmth@John:9:4 @ We must do the works of Him who sent me while there is daylight. Night is coming on, when no one can work.

wmth@John:9:5 @ When I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.«

wmth@John:9:7 @ »Go and wash in the pool of Siloam« –the name means `Sent.' So he went and washed his eyes, and returned able to see.

wmth@John:9:9 @ »Yes it is,« replied some of them. »No it is not,« said others, »but he is like him.« His own statement was, »I am the man.«

wmth@John:9:16 @ This led some of the Pharisees to say, »That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.«»How is it possible for a bad man to do such miracles?« argued others.

wmth@John:9:17 @ And there was a division among them. So again they asked the once blind man, »What is your account of him? –for he opened your eyes.«»He is a Prophet,« he replied.

wmth@John:9:21 @ but how it is that he can now see or who has opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him himself; he is of full age; he himself will give his own account of it.«

wmth@John:9:22 @ Such was their answer, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already settled among themselves that if any one should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be excluded from the synagogue.

wmth@John:9:23 @ That was why his parents said, »He is of full age: ask him himself.«

wmth@John:9:27 @ »I have told you already,« he replied, »and you did not listen to me. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also mean to be disciples of his?«

wmth@John:9:28 @ Then they railed at him, and said, »You are that man's disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

wmth@John:9:32 @ From the beginning of the world such a thing was never heard of as that any one should open the eyes of a man blind from his birth.

wmth@John:9:34 @ »You,« they replied, »were wholly begotten and born in sin, and do teach?« And they put him out of the synagogue.

wmth@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had done this. So having found him, He asked him, »Do you believe in the Son of God?«

wmth@John:9:40 @ These words were heard by those of the Pharisees who were present, and they asked Him, »Are also blind?«

wmth@John:9:41 @ »If you were blind,« answered Jesus, »you would have no sin; but as a matter of fact you boast that you see. So your sin remains!«

wmth@John:10:2 @ But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

wmth@John:10:4 @ When he has brought out his own sheep –all of them– he walks at the head of them; and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

wmth@John:10:5 @ But a stranger they will by no means follow, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.«

wmth@John:10:7 @ Again therefore Jesus said to them, »In most solemn truth I tell you that I am the Door of the sheep.

wmth@John:10:19 @ Again there arose a division among the Jews because of these words.

wmth@John:10:20 @ Many of them said, »He is possessed by a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to him?«

wmth@John:10:21 @ Others argued, »That is not the language of a demoniac: and can a demon open blind men's eyes?«

wmth@John:10:28 @ I give them the Life of the Ages, and they shall never, never perish, nor shall any one wrest them from my hand.

wmth@John:10:32 @ Jesus remonstrated with them. »Many good deeds,« He said, »have I shown you as coming from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?«

wmth@John:10:39 @ This made them once more try to arrest Him, but He withdrew out of their power.

wmth@John:10:40 @ Then He went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John had been baptizing at first; and there He stayed.

wmth@John:10:41 @ Large numbers of people also came to Him. Their report was, »John did not work any miracle, but all that John said about this Teacher was true.«

wmth@John:11:1 @ Now a certain man, named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill– Bethany being the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

wmth@John:11:4 @ Jesus received the message and said, »This illness is not to end in death, but is to promote the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified by it.«

wmth@John:11:8 @ »Rabbi,« exclaimed the disciples, »the Jews have just been trying to stone you, and do you think of going back there again?«

wmth@John:11:9 @ »Are there not twelve hours in the day?« replied Jesus. »If any one walks in the daytime, he does not stumble–because he sees the light of this world.

wmth@John:11:13 @ Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought He referred to the rest taken in ordinary sleep.

wmth@John:11:19 @ and a considerable number of the Jews were with Martha and Mary, having come to express sympathy with them on the death of their brother.

wmth@John:11:27 @ »Yes, Master,« she replied; »I thoroughly believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.«

wmth@John:11:33 @ Seeing her weeping aloud, and the Jews in like manner weeping who had come with her, Jesus, curbing the strong emotion of His spirit,

wmth@John:11:37 @ But others of them asked, »Was this man who opened the blind man's eyes unable to prevent this man from dying?«

wmth@John:11:38 @ Jesus, however, again restraining His strong feeling, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone had been laid against the mouth of it.

wmth@John:11:39 @ »Take away the stone,« said Jesus. Martha, the sister of the dead man, exclaimed, »Master, by this time there is a foul smell; for it is three days since he died.«

wmth@John:11:40 @ »Did I not promise you,« replied Jesus, »that if you believe, you shall see the glory of God?«

wmth@John:11:42 @ I know that Thou always hearest me; but for the sake of the crowd standing round I have said this–that they may believe that Thou didst send me.«

wmth@John:11:45 @ Thereupon a considerable number of the Jews– namely those who had come to Mary and had witnessed His deeds– became believers in Him;

wmth@John:11:46 @ though some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them what He had done.

wmth@John:11:47 @ Therefore the High Priests and the Pharisees held a meeting of the Sanhedrin. »What steps are we taking?« they asked one another; »for this man is performing a great number of miracles.

wmth@John:11:49 @ But one of them, named Caiaphas, being High Priest that year, said, »You know nothing about it.

wmth@John:11:52 @ and not for the nation only, but in order to unite into one body all the far-scattered children of God.

wmth@John:12:2 @ So they gave a dinner there in honour of Jesus, at which Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of the guests who were with Him.

wmth@John:12:3 @ Availing herself of the opportunity, Mary took a pound weight of pure spikenard, very costly, and poured it over His feet, and wiped His feet with her hair, so that the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

wmth@John:12:4 @ Then said Judas (the Iscariot, one of the Twelve–the one who afterwards betrayed Jesus),

wmth@John:12:6 @ The reason he said this was not that he cared for the poor, but that he was a thief, and that being in charge of the money-box, he used to steal what was put into it.

wmth@John:12:7 @ But Jesus interposed. »Do not blame her,« He said, »allow her to have kept it for the time of my preparation for burial.

wmth@John:12:11 @ for because of him many of the Jews left them and became believers in Jesus.

wmth@John:12:12 @ The next day a great crowd of those who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

wmth@John:12:13 @ took branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, shouting as they went, »God save him! –even on the King of Israel!«

wmth@John:12:16 @ The meaning of this His disciples did not understand at the time; but after Jesus was glorified they recollected that this was written about Him, and that they had done this to Him.

wmth@John:12:17 @ The large number of people, however, who had been present when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and brought him back to life, related what they had witnessed.

wmth@John:12:18 @ This was also why the crowd came to meet Him, because they had heard of His having performed that miracle.

wmth@John:12:20 @ Now some of those who used to come up to worship at the Festival were Greeks.

wmth@John:12:21 @ They came to Philip, of Bethsaida in Galilee, with the request, »Sir, we wish to see Jesus.«

wmth@John:12:23 @ His answer was, »The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

wmth@John:12:24 @ In most solemn truth I tell you that unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains what it was–a single grain; but that if it dies, it yields a rich harvest.

wmth@John:12:25 @ He who holds his life dear, is destroying it; and he who makes his life of no account in this world shall keep it to the Life of the Ages.

wmth@John:12:27 @ Now is my soul full of trouble; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this purpose I have come to this hour.

wmth@John:12:31 @ Now is a judgement of this world: now will the Prince of this world be driven out.

wmth@John:12:33 @ He said this to indicate the kind of death He would die.

wmth@John:12:34 @ The crowd answered Him, »We have heard out of the Law that the Christ remains for ever. In what sense do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is that Son of Man?«

wmth@John:12:36 @ In the degree that you have light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.« Jesus said this, and went away and hid Himself from them.

wmth@John:12:38 @ in order that the words of Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled,

wmth@John:12:41 @ Isaiah uttered these words because he saw His glory; and he spoke of Him.

wmth@John:12:42 @ Nevertheless even from among the Rulers many believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees they did not avow their belief, for fear they should be shut out from the synagogue.

wmth@John:12:50 @ And I know that His command is the Life of the Ages. What therefore I speak, I speak just as the Father has bidden me.«

wmth@John:13:1 @ Now just before the Feast of the Passover this incident took place. Jesus knew that the time had come for Him to leave this world and go to the Father; and having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

wmth@John:13:2 @ While supper was proceeding, the Devil having by this time suggested to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, the thought of betraying Him, Jesus,

wmth@John:13:4 @ rose from the table, threw off His upper garments, and took a towel and tied it round Him.

wmth@John:13:5 @ Then He poured water into a basin, and proceeded to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel which He had put round Him.

wmth@John:13:10 @ »Any one who has lately bathed,« said Jesus, »does not need to wash more than his feet, but is clean all over. And you my disciples are clean, and yet this is not true of all of you.«

wmth@John:13:11 @ For He knew who was betraying Him, and that was why He said, »You are not all of you clean.«

wmth@John:13:18 @ I am not speaking of all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but things are as they are in order that the Scripture may be fulfilled, which says,

wmth@John:13:21 @ After speaking thus Jesus was troubled in spirit and said with deep earnestness, »In most solemn truth I tell you that one of you will betray me.«

wmth@John:13:22 @ The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know to which of them He was referring.

wmth@John:13:23 @ There was at table one of His disciples –the one Jesus loved– reclining with his head on Jesus's bosom.

wmth@John:13:26 @ »It is the one,« answered Jesus, »for whom I shall dip this piece of bread and to whom I shall give it.« Accordingly He dipped the piece of bread, and took it and gave it to Judas, the son of the Iscariot Simon.

wmth@John:13:27 @ Then, after Judas had received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. »Lose no time about it,« said Jesus to him.

wmth@John:13:30 @ So Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went out. And it was night.

wmth@John:13:31 @ So when he was gone out, Jesus said, »Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him.

wmth@John:14:7 @ If you –all of you– knew me, you would fully know my Father also. From this time forward you know Him and have seen Him.«

wmth@John:14:14 @ If you make any request of me in my name, I will do it.

wmth@John:14:16 @ And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be for ever with you–the Spirit of truth.

wmth@John:14:24 @ He who has no love for me does not obey my teaching; and yet the teaching to which you are listening is not mine, but is the teaching of the Father who sent me.

wmth@John:14:30 @ In future I shall not talk much with you, for the Prince of this world is coming. And yet in me he has nothing;

wmth@John:15:4 @ Continue in me, and let me continue in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself –that is, if it does not continue in the vine– so neither can you if you do not continue in me.

wmth@John:15:18 @ If the world hates you, remember that it has first had me as the fixed object of its hatred.

wmth@John:15:19 @ If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own property. But because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world–for that reason the world hates you.

wmth@John:16:5 @ But now I an returning to Him who sent me; and not one of you asks me where I am going.

wmth@John:16:8 @ And He, when He comes, will convict the world in respect of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement; –

wmth@John:16:12 @ »I have much more to say to you, but you are unable at present to bear the burden of it.«

wmth@John:16:13 @ But when He has come –the Spirit of Truth– He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak as Himself originating what He says, but all that He hears He will speak, and He will make known the future to you.

wmth@John:16:14 @ He will glorify me, because He will take of what is mine and will make it known to you.

wmth@John:16:15 @ Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that the Spirit of Truth takes of what is mine and will make it known to you.

wmth@John:16:17 @ Some of His disciples therefore said to one another, »What does this mean which He is telling us, `A little while and you do not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me,' and `Because I am going to the Father'?«

wmth@John:18:2 @ Now Judas also, who at that very time was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often resorted there with His disciples.

wmth@John:18:3 @ So Judas, followed by the battalion and by a detachment of the Temple police sent by the High Priests and Pharisees, came there with torches and lamps and weapons.

wmth@John:18:10 @ Simon Peter, however, having a sword, drew it, and, aiming at the High Priest's servant, cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

wmth@John:18:11 @ Jesus therefore said to Peter, »Put back your sword. Shall I refuse to drink the cup of sorrow which the Father has given me to drink?«

wmth@John:18:13 @ They then brought Him to Annas first; for Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.

wmth@John:18:15 @ Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so also was another disciple. The latter was known to the High Priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest's palace.

wmth@John:18:17 @ This led the girl, the portress, to ask Peter, »Are you also one of this man's disciples?«»No, I am not,« he replied.

wmth@John:18:22 @ Upon His saying this, one of the officers standing by struck Him with his open hand, asking Him as he did so, »Is that the way you answer the High Priest?«

wmth@John:18:25 @ But Simon Peter remained standing and warming himself, and this led to their asking him, »Are you also one of his disciples?« He denied it, and said, »No, I am not.«

wmth@John:18:26 @ One of the High Priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, »Did I not see you in the garden with him?«

wmth@John:18:28 @ So they brought Jesus from Caiaphas's house to the Praetorium. It was the early morning, and they would not enter the Praetorium themselves for fear of defilement, and in order that they might be able to eat the Passover.

wmth@John:18:32 @ They said this that the words might be fulfilled in which Jesus predicted the kind of death He was to die.

wmth@John:18:33 @ Re-entering the Praetorium, therefore, Pilate called Jesus and asked Him, »Are the King of the Jews?«

wmth@John:18:34 @ »Do you say this of yourself, or have others told it you about me?« replied Jesus.

wmth@John:18:36 @ »My kingdom,« replied Jesus, »does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my subjects would have resolutely fought to save me from being delivered up to the Jews. But, as a matter of fact, my kingdom has not this origin.«

wmth@John:18:37 @ »So then are a king!« rejoined Pilate. »Yes,« said Jesus, »you say truly that I am a king. For this purpose I was born, and for this purpose I have come into the world–to give testimony for the truth. Every one who is a friend of the truth listens to my voice.«

wmth@John:18:39 @ But you have a custom that I should release one prisoner to you at the Passover. So shall I release to you the King of the Jews?«

wmth@John:18:40 @ With a roar of voices they again cried out, saying, »Not this man, but Barabbas!« Now Barabbas was a robber.

wmth@John:19:2 @ And the soldiers, twisting twigs of thorn into a wreath, put it on His head, and threw round Him a crimson cloak.

wmth@John:19:3 @ Then they began to march up to Him, saying in a mocking voice, »Hail King of the Jews!« And they struck Him with the palms of their hands.

wmth@John:19:5 @ So Jesus came out, wearing the wreath of thorns and the crimson cloak. And Pilate said to them, »See, there is the man.«

wmth@John:19:6 @ As soon then as the High Priests and the officers saw Him, they shouted »To the cross! To the cross!« »Take him yourselves and crucify him,« said Pilate; »for I, at any rate, find no crime in him.«

wmth@John:19:7 @ »We,« replied the Jews, »have a Law, and in accordance with that Law he ought to die, for having claimed to be the Son of God.«

wmth@John:19:12 @ Upon receiving this answer, Pilate was for releasing Him. But the Jews kept shouting, »If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar's. Every one who sets himself up as king declares himself a rebel against Caesar.«

wmth@John:19:14 @ It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about six o'clock in the morning. Then he said to the Jews, »There is your king!«

wmth@John:19:15 @ This caused a storm of outcries, »Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!«»Am I to crucify your king?« Pilate asked. »We have no king, except Caesar,« answered the High Priests.

wmth@John:19:19 @ And Pilate wrote a notice and had it fastened to the top of the cross. It ran thus: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

wmth@John:19:20 @ Many of the Jews read this notice, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the notice was in three languages–Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

wmth@John:19:21 @ This led the Jewish High Priests to remonstrate with Pilate. »You should not write `The King of the Jews,'« they said, »but that he claimed to be King of the Jews.«

wmth@John:19:25 @ Now standing close to the cross of Jesus were His mother and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.

wmth@John:19:29 @ There was a jar of wine standing there. With this wine they filled a sponge, put it on the end of a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.

wmth@John:19:31 @ Meanwhile the Jews, because it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, and in order that the bodies might not remain on the crosses during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was one of special solemnity), requested Pilate to have the legs of the dying men broken, and the bodies removed.

wmth@John:19:32 @ Accordingly the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and also of the other who had been crucified with Jesus.

wmth@John:19:34 @ One of the soldiers, however, made a thrust at His side with a lance, and immediately blood and water flowed out.

wmth@John:19:35 @ This statement is the testimony of an eye-witness, and it is true. He knows that he is telling the truth–in order that you also may believe.

wmth@John:19:38 @ After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but for fear of the Jews a secret disciple, asked Pilate's permission to carry away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and removed the body.

wmth@John:19:39 @ Nicodemus too –he who at first had visited Jesus by night– came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, in weight about seventy or eighty pounds.

wmth@John:19:40 @ Taking down the body they wrapped it in linen cloths along with the spices, in accordance with the Jewish mode of preparing for burial.

wmth@John:19:42 @ Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation for the Jewish Passover, and the tomb was close at hand, they put Jesus there.

wmth@John:20:1 @ On the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from it.

wmth@John:20:2 @ So she ran, as fast as she could, to find Simon Peter and the other disciple –the one who was dear to Jesus– and to tell them, »They have taken the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have put Him.«

wmth@John:20:3 @ Peter and the other disciple started at once to go to the tomb, both of them running,

wmth@John:20:7 @ and the towel, which had been placed over the face of Jesus, not lying with the cloths, but folded up and put by itself.

wmth@John:20:12 @ and saw two angels clothed in white raiment, sitting one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been.

wmth@John:20:18 @ Mary of Magdala came and brought word to the disciples. »I have seen the Master,« she said. And she told them that He had said these things to her.

wmth@John:20:19 @ On that same first day of the week, when it was evening and, for fear of the Jews, the doors of the house where the disciples were, were locked, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, »Peace be to you!«

wmth@John:20:23 @ If you remit the sins of any persons, they remain remitted to them. If you bind fast the sins of any, they remain bound.«

wmth@John:20:24 @ Thomas, one of the twelve –surnamed `the Twin'– was not among them when Jesus came.

wmth@John:20:25 @ So the rest of the disciples told him, »We have seen the Master!« His reply was, »Unless I see in his hands the wound made by the nails and put my finger into the wound, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it.«

wmth@John:20:30 @ There were also a great number of other signs which Jesus performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not recorded in this book.

wmth@John:20:31 @ But these have been recorded in order that you may believe that He is the Christ, the Son of God, and that, through believing, you may have Life through His name.

wmth@John:21:1 @ After this, Jesus again showed Himself to the disciples. It was at the Lake of Tiberias. The circumstances were as follows.

wmth@John:21:2 @ Simon Peter was with Thomas, called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zabdi, and two others of the Master's disciples.

wmth@John:21:6 @ »Throw the net in on the right hand side,« He said, »and you will find fish.« So they threw the net in, and now they could scarcely drag it along for the quantity of fish.

wmth@John:21:8 @ But the rest of the disciples came in the small boat (for they were not far from land–only about a hundred yards off), dragging the net full of fish.

wmth@John:21:10 @ Jesus told them to fetch some of the fish which they had just caught.

wmth@John:21:11 @ So Simon Peter went on board the boat and drew the net ashore full of large fish, 153 in number; and yet, although there were so many, the net had not broken.

wmth@John:21:12 @ »Come this way and have breakfast,« said Jesus. But not one of the disciples ventured to question Him as to who He was, for they felt sure that it was the Master.

wmth@John:21:15 @ When they had finished breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, »Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?«»Yes, Master,« was his answer; »you know that you are dear to me.« »Then feed my lambs,« replied Jesus.

wmth@John:21:16 @ Again a second time He asked him, »Simon, son of John, do you love me?«»Yes, Master,« he said, »you know that you are dear to me.«»Then be a shepherd to my sheep,« He said.

wmth@John:21:17 @ A third time Jesus put the question:»Simon, son of John, am I dear to you?« It grieved Peter that Jesus asked him the third time, »Am I dear to you?«»Master,« he replied, »you know everything, you can see that you are dear to me.«»Then feed my much-loved sheep,« said Jesus.

wmth@John:21:19 @ This He said to indicate the kind of death by which that disciple would bring glory to God; and after speaking thus He said to him, »Follow me.«

wmth@John:21:22 @ »If I desire him to remain till I come,« replied Jesus, »what concern is that of yours? You, yourself, must follow me.«

wmth@John:21:23 @ Hence the report spread among the brethren that that disciple would never die. Yet Jesus did not say, »He is not to die,« but, »If I desire him to remain till I come, what concern is that of yours?«
