mnt@Matthew:1:1 @ The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

mnt@Matthew:1:2 @ Abraham was the father of Isaac; Isaac was the father of Jacob; Jacob, of Judah and his brethren;

mnt@Matthew:1:3 @ Judah (by Tamar), of Perez and Zerah; Perez, of Hezron; Hezron, of Ram;

mnt@Matthew:1:4 @ Ram, of Amminadab; Amminadab, of Nahshon; Nahshon, of Salmon;

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

mnt@Matthew:1:6 @ And Jesse, of David the king. David (by Uriahs widow), was the father of Solomon;

mnt@Matthew:1:7 @ Solomon, of Rehoboam; Rehoboam, of Abijah; Abijah, of Asa;

mnt@Matthew:1:8 @ Asa, of Jehoshaphat; Jehoshaphat, of Joram; Joram, of Uzziah;

mnt@Matthew:1:9 @ Uzziah, of Jotham; Jotham, of Ahaz; Ahaz, of Hezekiah;

mnt@Matthew:1:10 @ Hezekiah, of Manasseh; Manasseh, of Amon; Amon, of Josiah;

mnt@Matthew:1:11 @ Josiah, of Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.

mnt@Matthew:1:12 @ And after the carrying away into Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel; Shealtiel, of Zerubbabel;

mnt@Matthew:1:13 @ Zerubbabel, of Abiud; Abiud, of Eliakim; Eliakim, of Azor;

mnt@Matthew:1:14 @ Azor, of Sadoc; Sadoc, of Achim; Achim, of Eliud;

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

mnt@Matthew:1:17 @ So the whole number of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen; from David to the exile to Babylon is fourteen; and from the exile to Babylon to Christ is fourteen.

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

mnt@Matthew:1:19 @ But Joseph her husband, because he was just a man and unwilling to disgrace her, was minded to put her away secretly.

mnt@Matthew:1:20 @ And while he was having this in mind, behold! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying.

mnt@Matthew:1:21 @ "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife home, for what is begotten in her is by the Holy Spirit; and she will bear a son, and you are to call him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

mnt@Matthew:1:22 @ All this happened that the word of the Lord spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled.

mnt@Matthew:1:23 @ Behold! the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son; and they shall call his name Immanuel, a word which means "God with us."

mnt@Matthew:1:24 @ Now when Joseph awoke from his sleep he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him, and took his wife home,

mnt@Matthew:1:25 @ but did not live with her until after the birth of her son, whom he called Jesus.

mnt@Matthew:2:1 @ After the birth of Jesus, which took place at Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod, lo! certain Magi arrived in Jerusalem, saying.

mnt@Matthew:2:2 @ "Where is the new-born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to worship him."

mnt@Matthew:2:3 @ When King Herod heard this he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

mnt@Matthew:2:4 @ So when he had gathered together all the chief priests and rabbis of the people, he began to inquire of them where the Christ was to be born.

mnt@Matthew:2:5 @ And they told him. "At Bethlehem in Judea, as it is written in the prophet.

mnt@Matthew:2:6 @ "And thou Bethlehem in the land of Judah, Thou are not least among the princes of Judah, For out of thee shall come a ruler Who shall shepherd my people, Israel."

mnt@Matthew:2:7 @ Thereupon Herod sent secretly for the Magi, and found out from them the time when the star appeared.

mnt@Matthew:2:8 @ Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and make careful inquiry about the child, and as soon as you have found him bring me word, that I, too, may go and worship him."

mnt@Matthew:2:9 @ The Magi listened to the king, and went on their way, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east led them until it came and stood over the place where the young child was.

mnt@Matthew:2:10 @ And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with great gladness.

mnt@Matthew:2:11 @ When they had entered the house, they saw the child with Mary, his mother, and opening their treasure-chests they gave him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

mnt@Matthew:2:12 @ But because they were forbidden by God in a dream to go back to Herod, they returned to their own country by another route.

mnt@Matthew:2:13 @ When they were gone an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying; "Rise! Take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and there remain until I bring you word; for Herod intends to make a search for the child, in order to put him to death."

mnt@Matthew:2:14 @ So Joseph arose, took the child and his mother, by night, and departed to Egypt.

mnt@Matthew:2:15 @ There he remained until the death of Herod, in order that the word of the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, Out of Egypt I called my son.

mnt@Matthew:2:16 @ As soon as Herod saw that he had been mocked by the Magi, he was furious. He sent and put to death all the boys in Bethlehem and all the neighborhood who were two years old or under, in accordance with the date which he had ascertained from the Magi.

mnt@Matthew:2:17 @ Then were fulfilled the words spoken through Jeremiah, the prophet, saying,

mnt@Matthew:2:18 @ A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and lamentation- Rachel weeping for her children, Inconsolable, because they were no more!

mnt@Matthew:2:19 @ But after Herods death an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

mnt@Matthew:2:20 @ saying, "Rise! Take the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the life of the child are dead."

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

mnt@Matthew:2:22 @ But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there; and being warned of God in a dream, he withdrew into Galilee and settled in a town called Nazareth,

mnt@Matthew:2:23 @ in fulfillment of the word spoken through the Prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

mnt@Matthew:3:1 @ In those days came John the Baptist preaching in the desert of Judea;

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

mnt@Matthew:3:3 @ This Johnit was of whom it was said through Isaiah, the prophet, The voice of one who cries aloud in the desert, "Prepare a way for the Lord, Make the paths straight for him."

mnt@Matthew:3:4 @ This Johnwore a garment of camels hair, and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

mnt@Matthew:3:5 @ Then Jerusalem began to go out to him, and all Judea, and the whole neighborhood of the Jordan,

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

mnt@Matthew:3:7 @ But when Johnsaw that many of the Pharisees and Sadducees were coming for baptism, he said. "O brood of vipers! Who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

mnt@Matthew:3:8 @ Then bring forth fruit worthy of repentance.

mnt@Matthew:3:9 @ And do not presume to say to yourselves, We have Abraham as our father-I tell you that out of these very stones God is able to raise up descendants for Abraham.

mnt@Matthew:3:10 @ And already the axe is lying at the roots of the trees. Any tree, therefore, that does not bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.

mnt@Matthew:3:11 @ I indeed am baptizing you in water, unto repentance; but One is coming after me, mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.

mnt@Matthew:3:12 @ His winnowing-fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse the threshing-floor. He will store his wheat in the granary, but will burn up the chaff in unquenchable fire."

mnt@Matthew:3:13 @ At that very time Jesus was on his way from Galilee to the Jordan, to John, to be baptized by him.

mnt@Matthew:3:14 @ But he tried to prevent him. "It is I," he said, "who need to be baptized by you, and are you coming to me?"

mnt@Matthew:3:15 @ But Jesus answered, "Permit it now, for so it is fitting for us to fulfill every religious duty."

mnt@Matthew:3:16 @ Then he consented. And after Jesus was baptized, as soon as he rose out of the water, lo! the heavens opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon him,

mnt@Matthew:3:17 @ while a voice from heaven said, "This is my son, the beloved, In whom I delight."

mnt@Matthew:4:1 @ Then Jesus was led up into the desert by the Spirit, to be tempted by the devil.

mnt@Matthew:4:2 @ And after he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he became hungry,

mnt@Matthew:4:3 @ So the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, bid these stones to become bread."

mnt@Matthew:4:4 @ Jesus answered him, "It is written, Not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God."

mnt@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the devil took him up into the Holy City and stood him on the parapet of the temple,

mnt@Matthew:4:6 @ and said to him. "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, "He will give his angels charge over thee; Upon their hands they will bear thee up, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."

mnt@Matthew:4:7 @ "It is written again," answered Jesus, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."

mnt@Matthew:4:8 @ Then the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain, and showed all the kingdoms of the earth and the glory of them,

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

mnt@Matthew:4:10 @ "Begone, Satan!" answered Jesus, "for it is written, "Thou must worship the Lord thy God, and Him only must thou serve."

mnt@Matthew:4:11 @ Then the devil left him, and behold! angels came and began ministering to him.

mnt@Matthew:4:12 @ Now when Jesus heard that Johnhad been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee.

mnt@Matthew:4:13 @ He left Nazareth, and settled in Capernaum-by-the-Lake, near the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,

mnt@Matthew:4:14 @ in order that these words spoken through Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled.

mnt@Matthew:4:15 @ Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali; The road by the Lake; the country beyond Jordan; Galilee of the Gentiles!

mnt@Matthew:4:16 @ The people who were dwelling in darkness Have seen a great light; And on those who were dwelling in the land of the shadows of death Light has dawned.

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

mnt@Matthew:4:18 @ And as he was walking by the see of Galilee, he saw two brothers- Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother-casting their net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

mnt@Matthew:4:19 @ "Come, follow me," said Jesus, "And I will make you fishers of men."

mnt@Matthew:4:20 @ And they dropped their nets at once, and followed him.

mnt@Matthew:4:21 @ As he went farther on he saw two other brothers, Jamesthe son of Zebedee, and Johnhis brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them.

mnt@Matthew:4:22 @ They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.

mnt@Matthew:4:23 @ Then Jesus went about through Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and infirmity among the people.

mnt@Matthew:4:24 @ And his fame spread throughout all Syria. They brought all the sick to him, those who were suffering from various diseases and troubles- demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics-and he healed them.

mnt@Matthew:4:25 @ Great crowds followed him from Galilee, from the ten towns, from Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond Jordan.

mnt@Matthew:5:1 @ When he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and when he had seated himself, his disciples came to him,

mnt@Matthew:5:2 @ and opening his lips he began to teach them, saying.

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

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

mnt@Matthew:5:5 @ "Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth."

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

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

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

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

mnt@Matthew:5:10 @ "Blessed are those who have been persecuted in the cause of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

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

mnt@Matthew:5:12 @ "Rejoice and exult in it, because your reward was great in the heavens; for so did they persecute the prophets before you.

mnt@Matthew:5:13 @ "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt lose its savor, in what way shall it be salted? It is henceforth good for nothing but to be thrown out and trodden under foot of men.

mnt@Matthew:5:14 @ "You are the light of the world. A city built on a hilltop cannot be hid;

mnt@Matthew:5:15 @ "nor do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the lamp-stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

mnt@Matthew:5:16 @ "So let your light shine before men that they may see good you do, and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

mnt@Matthew:5:17 @ "Do not suppose that I am come to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I am come not to destroy, but to fulfil.

mnt@Matthew:5:18 @ "In solemn truth I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a comma, will pass from the Law until all has taken place.

mnt@Matthew:5:19 @ "So whoever breaks one of these least commandments, and teaches others to break them, will be least in the kingdom of heaven. But he who keeps them and teaches them, he will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

mnt@Matthew:5:20 @ "For I assure you that unless your righteousness exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not find entrance into the kingdom of heaven.

mnt@Matthew:5:21 @ "You have heard that it was said to the ancients, "Thou shall not commit murder, and "he who commits murder shall be liable to condemnation by the court;

mnt@Matthew:5:22 @ but I say to you that he who becomes angry with his brother shall be liable to condemnation by the court; and he who says to his brother Raca, shall be liable to condemnation by the Sanhedrin, while he who curses his brother shall be liable to the Gehenna of Fire.

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

mnt@Matthew:5:24 @ "leave there your gift before the altar, and go and make friends with your brother, first of all; then come and offer your gift.

mnt@Matthew:5:25 @ "Come to terms with your opponent quickly, while you are yet with him on the way to the court, to prevent your opponent from handing you over to the judge, and the judge to the jailer, and so you be thrown into prison.

mnt@Matthew:5:26 @ "I tell you truly that you would certainly not get out from there until you had paid back the last cent.

mnt@Matthew:5:27 @ "You have heard that it was said, "Thou shalt not commit adultery.

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

mnt@Matthew:5:29 @ And if your eye, your right eye, entices you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to lose one of your bodily organs, than to have your whole body go down into the pit.

mnt@Matthew:5:30 @ And if your right hand entices you into sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of your bodily organs, than to have your whole body go down into the pit.

mnt@Matthew:5:31 @ "It was also said, "Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of separation.

mnt@Matthew:5:32 @ But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, makes her an adulteress, and whoever marries her when so divorced, commits adultery.

mnt@Matthew:5:45 @ "So you will become sons of your heavenly Father; for he makes his sun to rise upon sinners as well as saints, and sends rain upon the unjust and the just.

mnt@Matthew:5:46 @ "For if you love only those who love you, what reward have you?

mnt@Matthew:5:47 @ "Even the tax-gatherers do that, do they not? And if you show courtesy to your brother only, what are you doing more than others? Even the Gentiles do that, do they not?

mnt@Matthew:15:20 @ These are the things that defile a man; to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man."

mnt@Matthew:15:21 @ Jesus then left that place, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

mnt@Matthew:15:22 @ Behold, there came to him a Canaanite woman of those parts. She wailed loudly, saying. "Pity me, Lord, thou Son of David! My daughter is possessed of an evil spirit."

mnt@Matthew:15:25 @ But the woman came and knelt to him and said, "Lord, do help me."

mnt@Matthew:15:30 @ Great crowds came to him, bringing the crippled, the blind, the maimed, the dumb, and many others. They laid them at his feet and he healed them;

mnt@Matthew:15:34 @ "How many loaves have you?" answered Jesus. They replied, "Seven, and a few small fish.

mnt@Matthew:15:36 @ he took the seven loaves and the fish, and gave thanks, then he broke them and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.

mnt@Matthew:15:38 @ And those who ate numbered four thousand, besides the women and children.

mnt@Matthew:15:39 @ When he had sent the crowds away, he got into the boat and came into the region of Magadan.

mnt@Matthew:16:1 @ Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came to him, and in order to test him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

mnt@Matthew:16:2 @ In answer he said. "In the evening you say, It will be fine weather, for the sky is red as fire;

mnt@Matthew:16:4 @ A wicked and faithless generation is seeking a sign, but no sign shall be given it but the sign of Jonah." So he left them and went away.

mnt@Matthew:16:5 @ When his disciples reached the other side of the lake, they had forgotten to bring bread.

mnt@Matthew:16:6 @ Presently Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees."

mnt@Matthew:16:7 @ And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, "It is because we did not bring any bread."

mnt@Matthew:16:8 @ When Jesus knew it he said. "Weaklings in faith! Why are you arguing among yourselves, because you have no bread?

mnt@Matthew:16:9 @ "Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?

mnt@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they realized that he had not told them to beware of the leaven, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

mnt@Matthew:16:13 @ When Jesus came into the neighborhood of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of man is?"

mnt@Matthew:16:14 @ They replied, "Some say Johnthe Baptist;others, however, say that He is Elijah;others, Jeremiah, or One of the Prophets."

mnt@Matthew:16:15 @ "And who do you say that I am?" he asked them.

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

mnt@Matthew:16:17 @ "Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah," said Jesus; "for flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven!

mnt@Matthew:16:20 @ Then he enjoined his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

mnt@Matthew:16:21 @ After this Jesus the Christ began to show his disciples how he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things at the hands of the elders and chief priests and Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised again.

mnt@Matthew:16:22 @ Then Peter took him aside and began to reprove him, saying. "God forbid, Master! That shall never befall you."

mnt@Matthew:16:23 @ But he turned and said to Peter. "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to me, because you are not intent on what pleases God, but what pleases men."

mnt@Matthew:17:3 @ And behold! Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus.

mnt@Matthew:17:7 @ But Jesus came to them and touched them, saying, "Rise, have no fear!"

mnt@Matthew:17:8 @ And when they raised their eyes they saw no one save Jesus only.

mnt@Matthew:17:9 @ While they were going down from the mountain, Jesus laid a command on them. "Speak to no man about the vision," he said, "until after the Son of man has been raised from the dead."

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

mnt@Matthew:17:11 @ And he answered. "Elijah is coming, and will restore all things.

mnt@Matthew:17:12 @ "Nay, I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they chose. Even so the Son of man also is about to suffer at their hands."

mnt@Matthew:26:42 @ Then he went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "O, my Father, if this cup cannot pass except I drink it, Thy will be done."

mnt@Matthew:26:43 @ He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

mnt@Matthew:26:44 @ So he left them and went away again, and prayed the third time in the same words as before.

mnt@Matthew:26:45 @ Then he came to the disciples and said. "Sleep on now, and take your rest. Look! the hour is at hand; the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of wicked men.

mnt@Matthew:26:46 @ "Rouse yourselves! Let us go. My betrayer is close at hand!"

mnt@Matthew:26:48 @ Now his betrayer had given them a sign, saying. "Whoever I kiss is the man; arrest him."

mnt@Matthew:26:49 @ So he came straight up to Jesus and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed him eagerly.

mnt@Matthew:26:50 @ "Friend, do that for which you came," said Jesus. Then they came forward and laid hands on Jesus, and arrested him.

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

mnt@Matthew:26:54 @ "But if I did, how could the Scriptures be fulfilled that say that thus it must happen?"

mnt@Matthew:26:56 @ "But all this has happened in order that the Scriptures might be fulfilled."

mnt@Matthew:26:57 @ Then all his disciples forsook him and fled; but those who had apprehended Jesus led him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had assembled.

mnt@Matthew:26:58 @ Now Peter was following him, afar off, as far as the courtyard of the high priest; and when he got in, he was sitting with the officers, to see the end.

mnt@Matthew:26:59 @ And the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were trying to get false evidence against Jesus, in order that they might have him executed;

mnt@Matthew:26:60 @ but they found none, although many false witnesses came forward.

mnt@Matthew:26:61 @ However, at last two came forward who said, "This fellow declared, I can destroy the Temple of God and build it in three days."

mnt@Matthew:26:62 @ Rising to his feet the high priest asked Jesus. "Do you make no answer? What is it that these are testifying against you?"

mnt@Matthew:26:63 @ But Jesus kept silence. Again the high priest addressed him, "I adjure you by the Living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God!"

mnt@Matthew:26:64 @ "I am He," Jesus answered; "yet I tell you that from this time on you will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven."

mnt@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the high priest tore his garments, saying. "He has spoken blasphemy! What further need have we of witnesses? For behold, now you have heard his blasphemy!

mnt@Matthew:26:66 @ "What is your verdict?" "He ought to die," they answered.

mnt@Matthew:26:67 @ Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and some struck him with the palms of their hands, and cried.

mnt@Matthew:26:68 @ "Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who is it who struck you?"

mnt@Matthew:26:69 @ Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and one of the maidservants came up to him and said, "You also were with Jesus, the Galilean!"

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

mnt@Matthew:26:71 @ Soon afterward he went out into the porch, and another maid saw him, and said to those who were there, "This fellow certainly was with Jesus, the Nazarene!"

mnt@Matthew:26:72 @ And again he denied it with an oath, saying, "I never knew the man."

mnt@Matthew:26:73 @ A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "You also are certainly one of them, for your speech betrays you."

mnt@Matthew:26:74 @ Then he began to curse and swear, saying, "I never knew the man." Immediately the cock crew!

mnt@Matthew:26:75 @ Then Peter recalled the word that Jesus had spoken, "Before the cock crow, you shall three times deny me" - and he went out and broke out into bitter weeping.

mnt@Matthew:27:1 @ And when the morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, how they might put him to death.

mnt@Matthew:27:2 @ After they had bound him, they led him away, and handed him over to Pilate, the Roman Governor.

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

mnt@Matthew:27:4 @ "I have sinned," he said, "in betraying innocent blood!" "What is that to us?" they answered; "you must see to that."

mnt@Matthew:27:5 @ And flinging down the silver into the Sanctuary, he rushed out, and went and hanged himself.

mnt@Matthew:27:6 @ The chief priests took the money, and said, "It would be wrong to put it into the temple-treasury, because it is the price of blood."

mnt@Matthew:27:7 @ So after the consultation they bought the Potters Field with it, for a burial-place for strangers.

mnt@Matthew:27:8 @ That is the reason why, to this day, the field is called "The Field of Blood."

mnt@Matthew:27:9 @ Then was fulfilled the word spoken by the prophet Jeremiah. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who had been priced, whom certain of the Children of Israel had priced;

mnt@Matthew:27:10 @ and gave them for the Potters Field, as the Lord had appointed me.

mnt@Matthew:27:11 @ Now Jesus stood before the Governor, and the Governor questioned him. "Are you the King of the Jews?" he asked.

mnt@Matthew:27:12 @ "it is as you say," answered Jesus; but while he was being accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

mnt@Matthew:27:13 @ Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear what they are testifying against you?"

mnt@Matthew:27:14 @ But he made no answer, not even to one charge; insomuch that the Governor was greatly astonished.

mnt@Matthew:27:15 @ Now it was the Governors custom, during the Passover, to release to the people any one prisoner whom they selected.

mnt@Matthew:27:16 @ At that time they had a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

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

mnt@Matthew:27:18 @ He knew well that it was because of enmity that they had brought Jesus before him.

mnt@Matthew:27:19 @ And while he was seated upon the judgment-seat, his wife had sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered many things today, in a dream, because of him."

mnt@Matthew:27:20 @ But the chief priests and the elders urged the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and to destroy Jesus.

mnt@Matthew:27:21 @ So when Pilate said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release unto you?" they said, "Barabbas."

mnt@Matthew:27:22 @ And Pilate asked, "What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?" What one voice they shouted, "Let him be crucified!"

mnt@Matthew:27:23 @ But Pilate said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they kept shouting the more fiercely, "Let him be crucified!"

mnt@Matthew:27:24 @ So when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that on the contrary a riot was threatening, he took water and washed his hands in the presence of the crowd, saying. "I am innocent of the blood of this man; you must answer for it."

mnt@Matthew:27:25 @ All the people answered, "His blood be upon us and upon our children."

mnt@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he scourged, and delivered to be crucified.

mnt@Matthew:27:27 @ Then the soldiers of the Governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered all the battalion together.

mnt@Matthew:27:28 @ They stripped him and put on him a scarlet robe.

mnt@Matthew:27:29 @ And they twisted a thorny crown for him, and put it on his head, and placed a reed in his right hand. Then they knelt before him, in mockery, crying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

mnt@Matthew:27:30 @ And they spit upon him, and took the reed and struck him on the head, again and again.

mnt@Matthew:27:31 @ At last, when they had finished their mocking, they took the robe off, and put his own garments on him, and led him away to crucify him.

mnt@Matthew:27:32 @ And as they went out they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, whom they compelled to go with them to carry his cross.

mnt@Matthew:27:33 @ And when they came to a place called Golgotha (the word means "Place of a Skull"),

mnt@Matthew:27:34 @ they gave Jesus wine to drink, mingled with gall. But after tasting it he refused to drink it.

mnt@Matthew:27:35 @ After crucifying him, they parted his garments among them by casting lots.

mnt@Matthew:27:36 @ Then they sat and watched him there.

mnt@Matthew:27:37 @ They also placed above his head his accusation written, This is Jesus The King of the Jews

mnt@Matthew:27:38 @ At that time two robbers, also, were crucified with him; one on his right hand, the other on his left.

mnt@Matthew:27:39 @ Those who passed by reviled him, wagging their heads saying.

mnt@Matthew:27:40 @ "You who were going to destroy the Temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

mnt@Matthew:27:42 @ "He saved other," they said, "himself he cannot save. He, the King of Israel! Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him!

mnt@Matthew:27:43 @ He put his trust in God. let Him deliver him now, if He cares for him. For he said, I am the Son of God!"

mnt@Matthew:27:45 @ Now from noon darkness fell upon the whole land, until three oclock in the afternoon.

mnt@Matthew:27:46 @ But at three oclock Jesus cried out in loud voice, "Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani?" (That is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?")

mnt@Matthew:27:47 @ When they heard this, some of the bystanders said "He is calling for Elijah!"

mnt@Matthew:27:48 @ At once, one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filling it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

mnt@Matthew:27:49 @ But the rest said. "Let be! Let us see whether Elijah is coming to save him!"

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

mnt@Matthew:27:51 @ And lo, the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two, from the top to the bottom;

mnt@Matthew:27:52 @ the earth quaked; the rocks split; the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

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

mnt@Matthew:27:54 @ When the Roman captain and the soldiers who were with him, guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and all that happened, they were greatly terrified and said, "Certainly this man must have been Gods Son."

mnt@Matthew:27:55 @ And there were present several women who were looking on from a distance; they had followed Jesus from a Galilee, ministering to him.

mnt@Matthew:27:56 @ among them being Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of Jamesand Joses, and the mother of Zebedees sons.

mnt@Matthew:27:57 @ When it was eventide, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Josephus, who was himself a disciple of Jesus.

mnt@Matthew:27:58 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

mnt@Matthew:27:59 @ Pilate then commanded that it be given over to him.

mnt@Matthew:27:60 @ So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock; and after rolling a great stone against the opening of the tomb, he went away.

mnt@Matthew:27:61 @ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

mnt@Matthew:27:62 @ The day after - that is, the day following the Preparation - the chief priests and Pharisees went in a body to Pilate and said.

mnt@Matthew:27:63 @ "We recollect, Sir, that when he was living this imposter said, I will rise again after three days.

mnt@Matthew:27:64 @ Now therefore give order to have the sepulcher securely guarded until the third day, for fear his disciples may come and steal him away, and then tell the people, He is risen from the dead;and so the last error will be worse than the first."

mnt@Matthew:27:65 @ "You can have a guard," said Pilate. "Go your way, make it as secure as you can."

mnt@Matthew:27:66 @ So they went and made the sepulcher secure, by sealing the stone in the presence of the guard.

mnt@Matthew:28:1 @ At the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came down to see the sepulcher, when lo!

mnt@Matthew:28:2 @ There had been a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, and gone and rolled away the stone, and was sitting upon it.

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

mnt@Matthew:28:4 @ The guards trembled for fear of him, and became like dead men.

mnt@Matthew:28:5 @ But to the women the angel said. "You need have no fear, for I know that you are seeking Jesus, the Crucified One.

mnt@Matthew:28:6 @ He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Master was lying!

mnt@Matthew:28:7 @ And go quickly and tell his disciples. He is risen from the dead; he goes before you into Galilee; you will see him there. Remember, I have told you."

mnt@Matthew:28:8 @ On this they ran quickly from the sepulcher, in fear and great joy, to tell the news to his disciples.

mnt@Matthew:28:9 @ And behold! Jesus himself met them, saying, "All hail!" And they went up to him and clasped his feet and worshiped him.

mnt@Matthew:28:10 @ Then Jesus said to them. "Fear not! Go tell my brothers to depart into Galilee, and they will see men there."

mnt@Matthew:28:11 @ Now while they were on their way, some of the guard went into the city and told the high priest all that had happened.

mnt@Matthew:28:12 @ And when they had met with the elders and conferred together, they heavily bribed the soldiers and told them to say,

mnt@Matthew:28:13 @ "His disciples came by night and stole him away, while we were asleep."

mnt@Matthew:28:14 @ "If this should reach the Governors ears," they said, "we will satisfy him and screen you from punishment."

mnt@Matthew:28:15 @ So the soldiers took the money, and did as they were told; and this story has been noised abroad among the Jews, and continues to this day.

mnt@Matthew:28:16 @ But the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

mnt@Matthew:28:17 @ And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted.

mnt@Matthew:28:18 @ And Jesus came forward to them and spoke to them, saying. "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

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

mnt@Matthew:28:20 @ teaching them to observe every command which I have given you. and lo! I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world."

mnt@Mark:1:1 @ Beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

mnt@Mark:1:2 @ even as it is written in the prophet Isaiah, Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face to prepare your way.

mnt@Mark:1:3 @ The voice of one crying aloud. In the desert make ready a road for the Lord. Make his paths straight.

mnt@Mark:1:4 @ In the desert came Johnwho baptized, and preached a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

mnt@Mark:1:5 @ and all the land of Judea, and all the people of Jerusalem, kept going out to him, and were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.

mnt@Mark:1:6 @ And Johnwas clothed with camels hair, and he had a leather girdle round his loins, and he ate locusts, and "honey of the wood."

mnt@Mark:1:7 @ He made proclamation. "There is One mightier than I coming after me, and I am not worthy to stoop down and unfasten his sandal strap;

mnt@Mark:1:8 @ I have baptized you in water, but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit."

mnt@Mark:1:9 @ It was at that time that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by Johnin the Jordan;

mnt@Mark:1:10 @ and as soon as he rose from the water he saw the sky cleft asunder, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him,

mnt@Mark:1:11 @ and a voice from the sky. "Thou art my Son, my beloved; in thee is my delight."

mnt@Mark:1:12 @ Then the Spirit drove him at once into the desert,

mnt@Mark:1:13 @ and he remained in the desert for forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was among the wild beasts, but the angels were ministering to him.

mnt@Mark:1:14 @ After Johnhad been thrown into prison Jesus came into Galilee preaching the gospel of God.

mnt@Mark:1:15 @ "The time is now come," he said, "and the kingdom of God is near! Repent and believe the gospel."

mnt@Mark:1:16 @ And as he was passing along by the sea of Galilee he saw Simon and Andrew, Simons brother, casting their net into the sea, for they were fishermen;

mnt@Mark:1:17 @ so Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men."

mnt@Mark:1:18 @ At once they left their nets and followed him.

mnt@Mark:1:19 @ As he went a little farther on he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and Johnhis brother, who also were in their boat mending the nets.

mnt@Mark:1:20 @ Straightway he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants and went after him.

mnt@Mark:1:21 @ So they came to Capernaum, and as soon as the Sabbath Day came he went into the synagogue and began to teach.

mnt@Mark:1:22 @ They were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them with authority, not like the Scribes.

mnt@Mark:1:23 @ And at that very moment, there in their synagogue, a man in the grip of an unclean spirit shrieked out.

mnt@Mark:1:24 @ "What business have you with us, you Jesus of Nazareth? Are you come to destroy us? I know you who you are, the Holy One of God."

mnt@Mark:1:26 @ So the unclean spirit, after tearing him, came out of him with a loud cry;

mnt@Mark:1:27 @ and every one was amazed so that they began questioning among themselves. "What does this mean? A new teaching with authority? He lays commands even upon unclean spirits and they obey him."

mnt@Mark:1:29 @ On leaving the synagogue they went at once with Jamesand Johnto the house of Simon and Andrew.

mnt@Mark:1:30 @ Now Simons mother-in-law lay sick of fever, and without delay they told him about her.

mnt@Mark:1:31 @ So he came and took her hand and raised her up. The fever left her at once, and she began to wait upon them.

mnt@Mark:1:32 @ At evening when the sun had set, people came and brought to him all the sick and demon-possessed,

mnt@Mark:1:33 @ and the whole town was gathered at the door.

mnt@Mark:1:34 @ He cured many who were ill with various diseases, and drove out many demons. But he did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who he was.

mnt@Mark:1:35 @ In the morning he rose a great while before day and went out to a desert place, and there prayed.

mnt@Mark:1:38 @ "Let us go away," he answered, "to the neighboring country towns, that I may preach there, too; because for that purpose I came forth."

mnt@Mark:1:39 @ So he went throughout Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and driving out demons.

mnt@Mark:1:42 @ The leprosy at once left him, and he was made clean.

mnt@Mark:1:44 @ "See you say nothing to any one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your purification what Moses commanded for a testimony to them."

mnt@Mark:2:1 @ Some days later when Jesus entered Capernaum again the news spread, "He is in the house";

mnt@Mark:2:2 @ and at once such a crowd gathered that there was no longer room for them, even around the door.

mnt@Mark:2:3 @ While he was speaking his message, they came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four men.

mnt@Mark:2:4 @ When they could not get him near to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof under which he stood, and after making an opening, they let down the cot on which the paralytic was lying.

mnt@Mark:2:5 @ Then Jesus, when he perceived their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son your sins are forgiven."

mnt@Mark:2:6 @ But there were some Scribes sitting there who reasoned in their hearts.

mnt@Mark:2:8 @ Jesus clearly perceived at once be the Spirit that they were thus reasoning in their hearts and said to them.

mnt@Mark:2:9 @ "Why do you reason thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven, or to say, Rise, take up your cot and walk?

mnt@Mark:2:10 @ But to let you see that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -he said to the paralytic-

mnt@Mark:2:12 @ The man rose, at once took up his cot, and went out before them all; at which they were all astounded, and gave God glory, saying, "We never saw anything like this."

mnt@Mark:2:13 @ Then Jesus went again to the seaside, and the whole crowd kept coming to him, and he taught them.

mnt@Mark:2:14 @ As he was passing by he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting in the tax-office; and he said to him, "Follow me." So he rose and followed him.

mnt@Mark:2:15 @ Later on Levi was sitting at table in his house, and together with Jesus and his disciples a number of tax-gatherers and sinners were guests, for there were many of them who used to follow him.

mnt@Mark:2:16 @ But when some scribes of the Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax-gatherers, they said to his disciples, "Is he eating and drinking with tax-gatherers and sinners?"

mnt@Mark:2:17 @ On hearing this Jesus said to them. "It is not the healthy who need a physician, but the sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

mnt@Mark:2:18 @ Now the disciples of Johnand the Pharisees were keeping a fast, and people came to ask him, "How is it that the disciples of Johnand the Pharisees are fasting, but your disciples are not?"

mnt@Mark:2:19 @ "Can friends of the bridegroom fast while he is still with them?" asked Jesus. "As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

mnt@Mark:2:20 @ But the days will come when the Bridegroom will be taken away from them; then, on that day, they will fast.

mnt@Mark:2:21 @ No one ever sews a piece of unshrunk cloth onto an old garment, otherwise the patch tears away from it - the new from the old - and a worse tear is made.

mnt@Mark:2:22 @ And no one ever pours new wine into old wine-skins, else the wine would burst the skins, and both wine and skins would be lost. New wine is poured into fresh wine-skins.

mnt@Mark:2:23 @ One Sabbath he was walking along through the wheat-fields, and his disciples, as they began to make their way across, were pulling the heads of wheat.

mnt@Mark:2:24 @ "Look," said the Pharisees to him, "Why are they doing on the Sabbath Day what is against the law?"

mnt@Mark:2:25 @ He answered them. "Have you never read what David did when he was needy and hungry, he and his men?

mnt@Mark:2:26 @ How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which none but priests may eat, and gave some to his men?

mnt@Mark:2:27 @ "The Sabbath," he told them, "was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath;

mnt@Mark:2:28 @ so the Son of man is Master even of the Sabbath."

mnt@Mark:3:1 @ Again he went into a synagogue where there was a man with his hand withered.

mnt@Mark:3:2 @ And they kept watching Jesus to see whether he would cure him on the Sabbath; so as to have some charge to bring against him.

mnt@Mark:3:3 @ "Stand up," Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, "and come forward."

mnt@Mark:3:4 @ Then he asked them. "Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath Day, or to do harm? to save a life, or to destroy it?"

mnt@Mark:3:5 @ They were silent. Then looking around upon them with anger, and deeply grieved by the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand!" He stretched it out, and the hand was at once completely restored.

mnt@Mark:3:6 @ As soon as they came out, the Pharisees plotted against him with the Herodians, in order to destroy him.

mnt@Mark:3:7 @ Then Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples; and a great crowd of people from Galilee followed.

mnt@Mark:3:8 @ From Judea, too, and Jerusalem, and Idumea, and from beyond Jordan, and from the district of Tyre and Sidon, they came to him a vast multitude, because they heard what he was doing.

mnt@Mark:3:9 @ So he directed his disciples to keep a little boat in readiness for him, because of the crowd, to prevent their crushing him.

mnt@Mark:3:10 @ For he had healed so many that all the people who had ailments pressed upon him so as to touch him.

mnt@Mark:3:11 @ And whenever the unclean spirits beheld him, they threw themselves down at his feet, screaming out, "You are the Son of God."

mnt@Mark:3:12 @ But over and over, he strictly forbade them to make him known.

mnt@Mark:3:13 @ Then he went up the hillside and called to him those whom he chose, and they came to him.

mnt@Mark:3:14 @ Twelve of them whom he also called "Apostles," he appointed to be with him, and also that he might send them out to preach,

mnt@Mark:3:16 @ There was Simon, whom he surnamed Peter,

mnt@Mark:3:17 @ and James(them he surnamed Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder),

mnt@Mark:3:18 @ and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and Jamesthe son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Zealot,

mnt@Mark:3:20 @ Then he went into a house, but again such a multitude assembled that they could not get their food.

mnt@Mark:3:21 @ When his relatives heard of it, they came to take possession of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind."

mnt@Mark:3:22 @ The Scribes also who had come down from Jerusalem, said, "He is Beelzebub," and, "He casts out demons by the power of the Prince of the demons."

mnt@Mark:3:23 @ So when he had called them to him he spoke to them in parables. "How," said he, "can Satan cast out Satan?

mnt@Mark:3:27 @ "Indeed, no one can enter the strong mans house and carry off his property without first binding the strong man; then he can plunder his house.

mnt@Mark:3:28 @ In solemn truth I tell you that the sons of men shall be forgiven all their sins and all the blasphemies they may utter,

mnt@Mark:3:29 @ but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit is never forgiven. Nay, he is in the grasp of an eternal sin."

mnt@Mark:3:30 @ Because they kept saying, "He has an unclean spirit."

mnt@Mark:3:31 @ Then his mother and his brothers came up, and standing outside, they sent a messenger to him to call him.

mnt@Mark:3:32 @ Now a crowd was sitting round him and they told him, "See! your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, wanting to see you."

mnt@Mark:3:33 @ "Who are my mother and my brothers?" he replied.

mnt@Mark:3:34 @ Then, with a glance at those who were in the circle sitting around him, he added.

mnt@Mark:3:35 @ "Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God, that one is my brother and sister and mother."

mnt@Mark:4:1 @ Afterwards Jesus began to teach by the seaside, and a vast multitude of people gathered about him, so that he went on board a boat on the sea, and sat there, while all the people stayed on shore, at the waters edge.

mnt@Mark:4:2 @ Then he began teaching them in parables many things. In his teaching he said to them.

mnt@Mark:4:3 @ "Listen! the Sower once went out to sow,

mnt@Mark:4:4 @ and as he sowed, it happened that some seed fell on the road, and birds came and picked it up;

mnt@Mark:4:5 @ some other seed fell on stony soil, where it had not much earth; and it sprang up quickly because it had no depth of soil,

mnt@Mark:4:6 @ but when the sun rose it was scorched and withered away because it had no root.

mnt@Mark:4:7 @ Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked it, so that it yielded no crop.

mnt@Mark:4:10 @ When he was alone his followers and the Twelve began asking about the parables.

mnt@Mark:4:11 @ He went on to say to them. "The secret truth concerning the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those outside everything is told in parables,

mnt@Mark:4:12 @ so that, "for all their looking they may not see, and for all their hearing, they may not understand, lest perchance they should turn and be pardoned.

mnt@Mark:4:13 @ "You do not understand this parable," said Jesus. "Then how will you understand the other parables?

mnt@Mark:4:14 @ "What the Sower sows is the Word. There are those on the wayside where the Word is sown.

mnt@Mark:4:15 @ As soon as they hear it, Satan immediately comes and snatches away the Word which has been sown in them.

mnt@Mark:4:16 @ And like the sowing upon stony ground are those who, whenever they hear the Word, at once receive it with joy,

mnt@Mark:4:17 @ but because they have no root in themselves they last for a time; but when suffering or persecution ensues because of the Word, they at once fall away.

mnt@Mark:4:18 @ There are others who are sown among thorns.

mnt@Mark:4:19 @ When they have heard the Word, the anxieties of life and the snares of wealth, and all sorts of other ambitions, come in to choke the Word, so that it proves unfruitful.

mnt@Mark:4:20 @ But those, on the other hand, who were sown on that good soil, are those who listen to the Word, and welcome it, and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold."

mnt@Mark:4:21 @ He went on to say. "Is the lamp brought in to be put under the bushel or the bed? Is it not rather to be put on the lamp-stand?

mnt@Mark:4:22 @ There is nothing hidden except what is to be disclosed, and nothing concealed except what is to be revealed.

mnt@Mark:4:24 @ And he said to them. "Take heed what you hear. With what measure you measure it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you.

mnt@Mark:4:25 @ For he who holds, to him will more be given, and he who holds not, from him will be taken even what he holds." "It is with the kingdom of God," he continued, "as if a man should have sown seed in the earth;

mnt@Mark:4:27 @ night and day he sleeps and wakes while the seed is sprouting and growing tall, he knows not how.

mnt@Mark:4:28 @ Of its own accord the earth bears its crops; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

mnt@Mark:4:29 @ Then as soon as the crop is ready the man has the sickle put in at once, because harvest-time is come.

mnt@Mark:4:30 @ "To what shall we compare the kingdom of God?" he said again. "in what parable shall we set it forth?

mnt@Mark:4:31 @ It is like a mustard-seed, which, when sown in the soil, is the smallest seed in the world;

mnt@Mark:4:32 @ yet when sown shoots up and becomes larger than any plant, sending out such branches that the wild birds build their nests under its shadow."

mnt@Mark:4:33 @ With many such illustrations Jesus used to tell his message to people as far as they were able to receive it;

mnt@Mark:4:34 @ and to them it was his practice never to speak except in parables. But he used to explain everything in private to his disciples.

mnt@Mark:4:35 @ On the evening of that same day Jesus said to them, "Let us go across to the other side."

mnt@Mark:4:36 @ So, leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them just as he was in the boat; and the other boats were with him.

mnt@Mark:4:37 @ But a great gale of wind came up, and the waves were dashing into the boat so that it began to fill.

mnt@Mark:4:38 @ Now he himself was sleeping on the cushion in the stern, so they woke him up, saying, "Master, do you not care if we perish?"

mnt@Mark:4:39 @ And he awoke, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!"

mnt@Mark:4:40 @ The wind fell, and there ensued a great calm. Then he said to them. "Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?"

mnt@Mark:4:41 @ Then they were awestruck, and said one to another, "Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey him!"

mnt@Mark:5:1 @ Then they came to the country of the Gadarenes, on the opposite side of the sea;

mnt@Mark:5:2 @ and he had no sooner stepped out of the boat, than a man out of the tombs came to meet him, a man with an unclean spirit,

mnt@Mark:5:3 @ who lived among the tombs.

mnt@Mark:5:4 @ Not even with a chain could any man bind him, for he had been bound with fetters and chains again and again, and had snapped the chains, and broken the fetters; and there was no one strong enough to master him.

mnt@Mark:5:5 @ And always, night and day, he remained among the tombs and in the mountains, shrieking and gashing himself with stones.

mnt@Mark:5:8 @ For Jesus was saying, "Foul spirit, come out of the man."

mnt@Mark:5:10 @ Over and over he continued to beg Jesus not to send them away out of the country.

mnt@Mark:5:11 @ Now there was on the hillside a great drove of swine feeding.

mnt@Mark:5:12 @ So the spirits begged him, saying, "Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them."

mnt@Mark:5:13 @ And he gave them leave. And out came the foul spirits and entered the swine; and the drove rushed down from the steep into the sea, in number about two thousand, and were choked in the sea.

mnt@Mark:5:14 @ On this the swineherds ran away and spread the news in town and country. So the people went to see what had happened.

mnt@Mark:5:15 @ When they got to Jesus they found the demoniac sitting there clothed and in his right mind - the man who had had the "Legion" - and they were awestruck.

mnt@Mark:5:16 @ And those who had been eye-witnesses told them what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine.

mnt@Mark:5:17 @ Then they began to beg Jesus to depart from their district.

mnt@Mark:5:18 @ As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging to go with him; but he said,

mnt@Mark:5:19 @ "Go home to your own people, and tell them what great things God has done for you, and has had mercy upon you."

mnt@Mark:5:20 @ So he went and began to publish abroad in the District of the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and every one was astonished and all men marveled.

mnt@Mark:5:21 @ Then after Jesus had recrossed in a boat to the other side, a vast multitude came crowding around him; so he stayed on the seashore.

mnt@Mark:5:22 @ Then one of the wardens of the synagogue, named Jairus, came up, and as soon as he saw Jesus, fell at his feet, with many entreaties,

mnt@Mark:5:25 @ Now there was a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years,

mnt@Mark:5:26 @ and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, but was no better; on the contrary, rather grew worse.

mnt@Mark:5:27 @ She had heard about Jesus, so she came in the crowd behind and touched his cloak.

mnt@Mark:5:28 @ "If I can touch even his clothes," she kept saying to herself, "I shall get well."

mnt@Mark:5:29 @ At once the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her complaint.

mnt@Mark:5:30 @ Jesus, instantly conscious that the power within him had gone forth, turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my clothes?"

mnt@Mark:5:31 @ "You see the crowd thronging about you," said his disciples, "and yet you say, Who touched me?"

mnt@Mark:5:33 @ and the woman knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

mnt@Mark:5:35 @ While he was still speaking men came from the house of the warden of the synagogue to tell him, "Your daughter is dead, why trouble the Teacher any further?"

mnt@Mark:5:36 @ But Jesus, paying no attention to the remark, said to the warden of the synagogue, "Have no fear, only believe."

mnt@Mark:5:37 @ He would not permit any one to go with him, except Peter and Jamesand John, the brother of James.

mnt@Mark:5:38 @ As they came to the house of the warden of the synagogue, he gazed upon a tumult, many weeping and wailing shrilly.

mnt@Mark:5:40 @ "The child is not dead, but asleep." And they began to laugh him to scorn. Then he put them all outside, took the father and mother of the child and those he brought with him, and entered the room where the child was lying.

mnt@Mark:5:41 @ Then he took the childs hand and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," that is to say, "Little girl, I am speaking to you; arise!"

mnt@Mark:5:42 @ And instantly the little girl stood up, and began to walk, for she was twelve years old, They were at once beside themselves with utter amazement.

mnt@Mark:5:43 @ He, however, repeatedly cautioned them not to let any one know about it, and directed them to give her something to eat.

mnt@Mark:6:1 @ Jesus left that place, and accompanied by his disciples, came into his own part of the country.

mnt@Mark:6:2 @ When it came Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue; many, as they listened, were deeply impressed. "Where did he get all this?" they asked; "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, and miracles such as these that happen at his hands?

mnt@Mark:6:3 @ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of Jamesand Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?"

mnt@Mark:6:4 @ So they disapproved of him. Then Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native land and among his relatives and in his home."

mnt@Mark:6:5 @ And he was unable to do any miracle there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick folk and healed them.

mnt@Mark:6:6 @ And he wondered at their lack of faith. So he went among the neighboring villages, teaching.

mnt@Mark:6:7 @ Then summoning the Twelve to him, he began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.

mnt@Mark:6:8 @ He bade them take nothing but a staff for their journey; no bread, no wallet, no coins in their purse;

mnt@Mark:6:9 @ they were to wear sandals, but not to put on two tunics.

mnt@Mark:6:10 @ "Wherever you enter a house," he told them, "remain there until you leave the place;

mnt@Mark:6:11 @ and if any place does not receive you, or listen to you, as you go out of it shake off the dust under your feet, as a warning to them."

mnt@Mark:6:12 @ So they fared forth and summoned men to repentance.

mnt@Mark:6:13 @ They cast out many demons, and anointed many sick people with oil and cured them.

mnt@Mark:6:14 @ King Herod heard it, for the name of Jesus had become well known, People were saying, "Johnthe Baptist is risen from the dead, and on that account these powers are working in him."

mnt@Mark:6:15 @ "He is Elijah," said others. And still others were saying, "He is a prophet, like one of the old prophets."

mnt@Mark:6:17 @ Now this Herod had sent and arrested John, and bound him in prison, for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philips wife, whom he had married.

mnt@Mark:6:18 @ For Johnhad often told Herod, "It is not right for you to live with your brothers wife."

mnt@Mark:6:21 @ Then came a convenient day, when Herod on his birthday held a feast for his lords and generals and the leading men of Galilee,

mnt@Mark:6:22 @ at which the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced. She charmed Herod and his guests. "Ask me whatever you want," said the king to the young girl, "and I will give it to you."

mnt@Mark:6:24 @ So she came out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" "The head of Johnthe Baptist," she replied.

mnt@Mark:6:25 @ So she at once hurried in to the king and made her request, "I want you," she said, "to give me, without delay, the head of Johnthe Baptist on a charger."

mnt@Mark:6:26 @ Then the king was exceedingly sorry; yet on account of his oaths and his guests he was unwilling to disappoint her.

mnt@Mark:6:27 @ So he sent at once a soldier of the guard with orders to bring his head.

mnt@Mark:6:28 @ And he went and beheaded Johnin prison, brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young girl, and she gave it to her mother.

mnt@Mark:6:29 @ When Johns disciples heard of this, they came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.

mnt@Mark:6:30 @ When the apostles had come back to Jesus, they told him all the things they had done, and all they had taught.

mnt@Mark:6:31 @ Then he said to them, "Come apart, yourselves, to a quiet spot, and rest a while." For there were many coming and going, and they could not get time even to eat.

mnt@Mark:6:32 @ So they sailed away privately to a solitary place.

mnt@Mark:6:33 @ However, many saw them going, and recognized them, and ran together by land from all the neighboring towns, and arrived there first.

mnt@Mark:6:34 @ So when Jesus landed he saw a vast multitude, and he was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

mnt@Mark:6:35 @ Then when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him and said. "This place is desert, and the day is now far spent.

mnt@Mark:6:36 @ Send the people away so that they may go to the farms and villages about here, and buy themselves something to eat."

mnt@Mark:6:37 @ In answer he said to them, "You yourselves are to give them food." "Are we to go and buy fifty dollars worth of bread," they said, "and give them food?"

mnt@Mark:6:38 @ "How many loaves have you?" he answered. "Go and see." When they had found out, they said, "Five, and two fishes."

mnt@Mark:6:39 @ Then he directed them to make all sit down by companies on the green grass.

mnt@Mark:6:40 @ And they sat down like beds in a garden, by hundreds and by fifties.

mnt@Mark:6:41 @ Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven he blessed, broke the loaves in pieces, and kept giving to the disciples to distribute.

mnt@Mark:6:42 @ The two fish also he divided to them all.

mnt@Mark:6:43 @ All ate and had enough; and they carried away broken fragments of bread and of fish, enough to fill twelve baskets.

mnt@Mark:6:44 @ Those who ate the bread were five thousand adult men.

mnt@Mark:6:45 @ Then he at once compelled the disciples to embark in the boat and go before him to Bethsaida on the other side, while he sent the people away.

mnt@Mark:6:46 @ After he had taken leave of them, he went away into the mountain to pray.

mnt@Mark:6:47 @ And when evening came, the boat was half-way across the sea, while he was on shore alone;

mnt@Mark:6:48 @ but when he saw them distressed in rowing (for the wind was against them), about the fourth watch of the night he went to them, walking upon the sea,

mnt@Mark:6:49 @ they thought it was an apparition and shrieked aloud, for they all saw him and were terrified.

mnt@Mark:6:50 @ But he at once spoke with them, saying. "Courage! It is I. Do not be afraid!"

mnt@Mark:6:51 @ Then he got into the boat beside them, and the wind ceased, and they were utterly astounded,

mnt@Mark:6:52 @ for they had not understood about the loaves; on the contrary their heart was hardened.

mnt@Mark:6:53 @ When they had crossed over they landed at Gennesaret and moored to the shore.

mnt@Mark:6:54 @ As soon as they got out of the boat, the people at once recognized him,

mnt@Mark:6:55 @ and began running over that whole country, and carrying the sick about on their beds, wherever they heard he was.

mnt@Mark:6:56 @ And whenever he entered into villages or cities or the fields they would lay the sick in the market-places and beseech him to let them touch even the tassel of his cloak, and all who touched him were made well.

mnt@Mark:7:1 @ One day the Pharisees came to him in a body with some Scribes who had come from Jerusalem.

mnt@Mark:7:2 @ They had noticed that some of his disciples were eating with "common," that is to say, unwashed hands.

mnt@Mark:7:3 @ For the Pharisees and all of the Jews do not eat until they have ceremoniously washed their hands in obedience to the tradition of the elders;

mnt@Mark:7:4 @ and when they come from the market-place they do not eat without bathing first. and they have many other customs which they have received and observe, such as the washing of cups and jugs and copper pans.

mnt@Mark:7:5 @ So the Pharisees and Scribes asked him. "Why do your disciples not follow the traditions of the elders? Why do they eat with common unwashed hands?"

mnt@Mark:7:6 @ "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, hypocrites," he answered. "As it is written, "This people honor me with their lips, While their hearts are far from me;

mnt@Mark:7:7 @ But in vain do they worship me, For their teaching is only human precepts.

mnt@Mark:7:8 @ "You neglect the commandment of God, and hold fast the traditions of men."

mnt@Mark:7:9 @ "It is praiseworthy, is it," he exclaimed, "to reject the command of God that you may keep your tradition!

mnt@Mark:7:10 @ For although Moses said, Honor your father and mother, and Let him who curses father or mother suffer death,

mnt@Mark:7:11 @ you say that if a man tells his father or mother, This money which otherwise you would have received from me, is Korban (that is, a thing devoted to God),

mnt@Mark:7:12 @ you exempt him from doing any service for his father or mother.

mnt@Mark:7:13 @ Thus by your tradition which you have handed down you set at naught the word of God; and you do many other things like that."

mnt@Mark:7:14 @ Then again he called the crowd to him and said.

mnt@Mark:7:15 @ "Listen to me, all of you, and understand; there is nothing outside a man which by entering in can defile him; but it is what comes from him that defiled him."

mnt@Mark:7:17 @ After he had left the crowd and gone indoors his disciples began asking him about the parable.

mnt@Mark:7:19 @ because it does not go into his heart, but into his belly, and passes away, ejected from him?" By these words he pronounced all foods clean.

mnt@Mark:7:21 @ From within, from the heart of man, proceed evil purposes -

mnt@Mark:7:22 @ fornication, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, wantonness, envy, slander, arrogance, reckless folly -

mnt@Mark:7:23 @ all these wicked things issue from within and defile a man."

mnt@Mark:7:24 @ After he rose and left that place, he went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. Here he went into a house and wished no one to know it but he could not be hid.

mnt@Mark:7:26 @ (the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by race), and again and again she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

mnt@Mark:7:27 @ "Let the children be filled first," he said to her. "It is unseemly to take the childrens bread and throw it to the dogs."

mnt@Mark:7:28 @ "True, Master," she answered, "but the dogs under the table do pick up the childrens crumbs."

mnt@Mark:7:29 @ "For that saying of yours, go home," he replied; "the demon has departed from your daughter."

mnt@Mark:7:30 @ So she went home, and found the child lying in her bed and the demon departed.

mnt@Mark:7:31 @ Again he left the region of Tyre, and passed through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, crossing the District of the Ten Towns.

mnt@Mark:7:32 @ And they brought to him a deaf man who stammered, and begged him to lay his hands upon him.

mnt@Mark:7:33 @ So Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put his finger in the mans ears, and moistened his tongue with saliva;

mnt@Mark:7:34 @ then looking up to heaven with a sigh, he said to him, "Ephphatha!" (that is, "Be opened.")

mnt@Mark:7:35 @ And his ears were opened and the bond of his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plainly. Then Jesus charged them not to tell any one, but the more he charged them, the more they published it;

mnt@Mark:7:36 @ and people were amazed beyond measure saying. "How successfully he does things! Even the deaf he makes to hear, and the dumb to speak."

mnt@Mark:8:1 @ In those days when a large crowd had again assembled and had nothing to eat, Jesus called together his disciples and said to them.

mnt@Mark:8:2 @ "My heart aches for the crowd, because they have remained with me three days now, and they have nothing to eat;

mnt@Mark:8:3 @ and if I send them away fasting to their homes, they will faint on the way. Moreover, some of them are from a distance."

mnt@Mark:8:4 @ "Where will it be possible," answered his disciples, "for one to fill these men with bread in a lonely place like this?"

mnt@Mark:8:5 @ He asked them, "How many loaves have you?" "Seven," they said.

mnt@Mark:8:6 @ So he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground; and when he had taken the seven loaves, he gave thanks, broke them, and gave to his disciples to distribute to the crowd.

mnt@Mark:8:7 @ They had also a few small fish; after blessing these he told his disciples to distribute them also.

mnt@Mark:8:8 @ They ate and were filled and they took up of broken pieces that were left, seven hampers.

mnt@Mark:8:9 @ They that had eaten were about four thousand.

mnt@Mark:8:10 @ Then he sent them away, got at once into the boat with his disciples. and came into the district of Dalmanutha.

mnt@Mark:8:11 @ And the Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, by way of testing him.

mnt@Mark:8:12 @ At this Jesus sighed deeply in his spirit, and said. "Why does the present generation seek a sign? In solemn truth I tell you that no sign shall be given this generation."

mnt@Mark:8:13 @ Then he left them, and getting into the boat again, went away to the other side,

mnt@Mark:8:14 @ Now they had forgotten to take bread, and had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.

mnt@Mark:8:15 @ So he gave them this warning. "Look out! Be on the watch against the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod."

mnt@Mark:8:16 @ And they began arguing with one another because they had no bread, He noted this and said to them.

mnt@Mark:8:17 @ "Why are you arguing together because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive and understand?

mnt@Mark:8:19 @ Do you not remember? When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets of broken pieces did you take up?" "Twelve," they said.

mnt@Mark:8:20 @ "And when the seven for the four thousand, how many hampers full of fragments did you pick up?"

mnt@Mark:8:22 @ Then they came to Bethsaida, where some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and begged him to touch him.

mnt@Mark:8:23 @ Taking the blind man by the hand, he led him outside the village; and, after spitting on his eyes, he laid his hands on him and asked, "Can you make out anything?"

mnt@Mark:8:24 @ The man looked up and said, "I can make out the people, for as they move about, I see them like trees."

mnt@Mark:8:25 @ Then Jesus again put his hands on the mans eyes; and the man, staring straight ahead, recovered his sight and continued to see everything perfectly.

mnt@Mark:8:26 @ Then Jesus sent him home, saying, "Do not even go into the village."

mnt@Mark:8:27 @ From there Jesus and his disciples went to the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and on the way he began to question his disciples saying, "Who do people say I am?"

mnt@Mark:8:28 @ And they told him. "Some say Johnthe Baptist, others, Elijah, and others that you are one of the prophets."

mnt@Mark:8:29 @ And he continued questioning them, "But you yourselves, Who do you say I am?" Peter in reply said to him, "You are Christ."

mnt@Mark:8:30 @ Then he strictly charged them not to say this about him to any one;

mnt@Mark:8:31 @ and he began to explain to them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests, and the Scribes, and be put to death,and after two days rise again.

mnt@Mark:8:32 @ This he told them quite openly. Then Peter took him and began to rebuke him.

mnt@Mark:8:33 @ But he turned round, and looked upon his disciples, and rebuked Peter. "Get thee behind me, Satan," he said, "for your thoughts are not Gods thoughts, but mans."

mnt@Mark:8:34 @ Then summoning the crowd to him, with his disciples. he said. "If any man wishes to follow me, let him renounce self, take up his cross, and so follow me.

mnt@Mark:8:35 @ For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever, for my sake and the gospels, loses his life will save it.

mnt@Mark:8:36 @ For what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own life?

mnt@Mark:8:38 @ Whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this unfaithful and wicked generation, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

mnt@Mark:9:1 @ "In solemn truth I tell you," he said, "there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God, come with power."

mnt@Mark:9:2 @ Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and Jamesand John, and brought them by themselves up a high mountain apart from the rest.

mnt@Mark:9:3 @ Here in their presence he was transfigured; and his clothes also became glistering with a radiant whiteness, such as no bleaching on earth could give.

mnt@Mark:9:4 @ Moreover there appeared to them Elijah, with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.

mnt@Mark:9:6 @ (For he did not know what to say, they were so awestruck.)

mnt@Mark:9:7 @ Then there came a cloud overshadowing them; and there came a voice out of the cloud. "This is my Son, my beloved. Listen to him."

mnt@Mark:9:8 @ And suddenly as they looked around, they saw no one any more beside them, but Jesus alone.

mnt@Mark:9:9 @ As they came down the mountain he strictly forbade them to narrate to any one what they had seen, until after the Son of man had risen from the dead.

mnt@Mark:9:10 @ This order they faithfully kept, questioning among themselves what "rising again from the dead" meant.

mnt@Mark:9:11 @ So they asked him, "How is it that the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

mnt@Mark:9:12 @ "Elijah does indeed first come," he said, "and restores all things, But how is it written about the Son of Man, that he will endure great suffering, and be rejected?

mnt@Mark:9:13 @ "Elijah indeed has already come," he added, "and they have done to him whatever they pleased, even as it is written of him."

mnt@Mark:9:14 @ When they rejoined the disciples they saw a great crowd surrounding them, and some Scribes disputing with them.

mnt@Mark:9:15 @ As soon as they saw him, all the people were astounded and ran up to greet him.

mnt@Mark:9:16 @ He asked them, "What are you discussing with them?"

mnt@Mark:9:17 @ "Master," answered one of the crowd, "I brought my son to you; he has a dumb spirit in him;

mnt@Mark:9:18 @ and wherever it seizes him it dashes him down; he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and is wasting away. I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."

mnt@Mark:9:20 @ So they brought the boy to him, and when he saw Jesus, the spirit at once convulsed him, and he fell to the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.

mnt@Mark:9:21 @ Then Jesus asked the father, "How long has he been like this?"

mnt@Mark:9:22 @ "From childhood," he answered; "and often it has thrown him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us."

mnt@Mark:9:24 @ The boys father with a cry said instantly. "I do believe; help my unbelief."

mnt@Mark:9:25 @ And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit. "You dumb and deaf spirit," he said, "come out of him, I command you, and never enter him again."

mnt@Mark:9:26 @ So with a loud shriek it came out, after throwing the boy into convulsion after convulsion. The boy looked like a corpse, so that most of them said that he was dead.

mnt@Mark:9:27 @ But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he stood up.

mnt@Mark:9:28 @ When Jesus had gone into the house, his disciples asked him in private, "Why could not we cast it out?"

mnt@Mark:9:31 @ for he was explaining to his disciples that the Son of man was to be betrayed into the hands of men, and that they would put him to death, but that after he had been put to death, he would rise again after three days,

mnt@Mark:9:32 @ But they did not understand his words, and were afraid to ask him the meaning.

mnt@Mark:9:33 @ Then they came to Capernaum; and when he got into the house he asked them, "What were you discussing on the road?"

mnt@Mark:9:34 @ But they were silent, for on the road they were disputing together which one was greatest.

mnt@Mark:9:35 @ So he sat down and called the Twelve, and said to them, "If any one wishes to be first, he must be last of all, and the servant of all."

mnt@Mark:9:36 @ Then Jesus took a little child, set it among them, and folding it in his arms, he said,

mnt@Mark:9:39 @ "Do not try to stop him," Jesus answered, "for there is no one who performs a miracle in my name who can soon speak evil of me.

mnt@Mark:9:42 @ "And if any one shall cause one of these little ones who believe on me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown out into the sea with a great millstone about his neck.

mnt@Mark:9:43 @ "If your hand cause you to stumble, cut it off! It is better to be maimed and to enter into life than to have two hands and go away into hell, into the fire that cannot be put out.

mnt@Mark:9:45 @ If your foot cause you to stumble, cut it off! It is better to enter into the life a cripple, than to have two feet and be cast into hell.

mnt@Mark:9:47 @ If your eye cause you to stumble, tear it out! It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God one-eyed that to keep both your eyes and be cast into hell,

mnt@Mark:9:48 @ where their worm never dies and the fire does not go out.

mnt@Mark:9:50 @ salt is excellent, but if the salt has lost its savor, what will you use to restore its saltness? Then have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

mnt@Mark:10:1 @ On leaving that place Jesus came into the borders of Judea, on the other side of the Jordan, Once more the people flocked about him, and again, as usual, he began teaching them.

mnt@Mark:10:4 @ "Moses," said they, "permitted a man to draw up a bill of separation and divorce her."

mnt@Mark:10:5 @ But Jesus said to them. "Moses gave you that command because of the hardness of your hearts;

mnt@Mark:10:6 @ but from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

mnt@Mark:10:7 @ "For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh;

mnt@Mark:10:8 @ so that they are no more two, but one flesh.

mnt@Mark:10:9 @ What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."

mnt@Mark:10:10 @ When indoors the disciples began to question Jesus again about this, and he said.

mnt@Mark:10:11 @ "Any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;

mnt@Mark:10:12 @ and if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."

mnt@Mark:10:13 @ Now people were bringing little children to Jesus for him to touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.

mnt@Mark:10:14 @ Jesus was indignant when he saw it, and said. "Let the little children come to me. Do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such.

mnt@Mark:10:15 @ I tell you true that unless a man receives the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not even enter it."

mnt@Mark:10:16 @ Then he took them in his arms, and laid his hand upon them in blessing.

mnt@Mark:10:17 @ As he started to go forth into the road, a man came running up to him, and knelt down before him. "Good Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

mnt@Mark:10:19 @ You know the commandments. Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not cheat, honor your father and mother."

mnt@Mark:10:20 @ "Teacher," he answered, "I have observed all these from my youth."

mnt@Mark:10:21 @ Jesus loved him as he looked at him, and said. "One thing you lack. Go, sell all you have and give to the poor; and you shall have wealth in heaven; and come, follow me."

mnt@Mark:10:22 @ But his face fell at these words, and he went away saddened, for he was one who had great wealth.

mnt@Mark:10:23 @ Then Jesus looked round on his disciples and said, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!"

mnt@Mark:10:24 @ The disciples were amazed at his words. Jesus looked around and said again to them.

mnt@Mark:10:25 @ "My sons, how hard it is for those who trust in money to enter the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."

mnt@Mark:10:26 @ "Then who can be saved?" they said to themselves astonished beyond measure.

mnt@Mark:10:27 @ When he had looked at them, Jesus said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God."

mnt@Mark:10:29 @ "I tell you solemnly," said Jesus, "that there is no man who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake and the gospels,

mnt@Mark:10:30 @ but shall receive a hundred times as much, now in this present world, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, lands-and persecutions with them - and in the world to come eternal life.

mnt@Mark:10:31 @ But many who are first shall be last, and the last, first."

mnt@Mark:10:32 @ They were still on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus led the way; and they were amazed, and some, although they followed, were afraid. Then once more he took the Twelve, and began to tell them what was about to befall him.

mnt@Mark:10:33 @ "See," said he, "we are going up to Jerusalem and 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,

mnt@Mark:10:35 @ Presently there came up to him Jamesand John, the sons of Zebedee, and said, "Teacher, we wish you would do for us whatever we ask you."

mnt@Mark:10:37 @ They answered, "Allow us to sit, one at your right hand, and the other at your left hand, in your glory."

mnt@Mark:10:38 @ "You know not what you are asking," said Jesus. "Can you drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"

mnt@Mark:10:39 @ They answered him, "We can." "You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with shall you be baptized,

mnt@Mark:10:41 @ When they heard this the ten began to be indignant at Jamesand John, so Jesus called them to him and said.

mnt@Mark:10:42 @ "You know that those who are regarded as rulers among the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make them feel their authority.

mnt@Mark:10:43 @ Not so shall it be among you. On the contrary whoever would become great among you shall be your servant;

mnt@Mark:10:45 @ and justly, for even the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life, a ransom for many."

mnt@Mark:10:46 @ Then they reached Jericho; and as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting beside the road.

mnt@Mark:10:49 @ Then Jesus stood still, saying, "Call him." So they called the blind man,and said, "Courage, rise, he is calling you."

mnt@Mark:10:50 @ The man threw off his cloak, sprang to his feet, and came to Jesus.

mnt@Mark:10:51 @ "What do you want me to do?" said Jesus, addressing him. And the blind man answered, "O Rabboni, that I might receive my sight!"

mnt@Mark:10:52 @ "Go," said Jesus, "your own faith has saved you," and immediately he received his sight, and began to follow Jesus along the road.

mnt@Mark:11:1 @ Now when they were approaching Jerusalem, near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives,

mnt@Mark:11:2 @ Jesus sent two of his disciples and told them. "Go to that village in front of you, and immediately on entering it you will find a colt tied, upon which no man has ever sat; untie him and bring him here.

mnt@Mark:11:3 @ And if any man asks you, Why are you doing that?" answer, The Lord has need of him, and he will immediately send him back."

mnt@Mark:11:4 @ So they went and found a colt tied outside a door, in the open street, and untied it.

mnt@Mark:11:5 @ And some of the bystanders began to say to them, "What are you trying to do, untying that colt?"

mnt@Mark:11:6 @ So they answered them just as Jesus had told them, and they let them take it.

mnt@Mark:11:7 @ Then they brought the colt to Jesus, and when they had thrown cloaks upon it, Jesus seated himself on it.

mnt@Mark:11:8 @ Then many spread their cloaks on the road, and others, soft leafy branches, which they had cut from the fields;

mnt@Mark:11:9 @ and those who went before him and those who came after kept shouting. "Hosanna! Blessed be He who comes in the name of the Lord!

mnt@Mark:11:10 @ Blessed be the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna, in the highest!"

mnt@Mark:11:11 @ Then he entered Jerusalem and went into the Temple, and after he had looked around at everything, as the hour was now late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

mnt@Mark:11:12 @ The next day after leaving Bethany he was hungry,

mnt@Mark:11:13 @ and seeing a fig tree in the distance full of leaves, he came to see if he could find anything on it, and found on it nothing but leaves (for it was not the time of figs).

mnt@Mark:11:14 @ So, addressing the tree, he said, "Let no man ever more eat fruit from you." And the disciples heard it.

mnt@Mark:11:15 @ Presently they reached Jerusalem, and, after entering the Temple courts, Jesus began to drive out those who were buying and selling there, and to upset the tables of the money-changers, and the stalls of those who sold doves,

mnt@Mark:11:16 @ and he would not allow any one to carry a vessel through the Temple courts, Then he began to teach.

mnt@Mark:11:17 @ "Is it not written," he said, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? But you have made it a den of robbers."

mnt@Mark:11:18 @ The chief priests and the Scribes heard this, and they began to seek means of destroying him; for they were afraid of him because all the crowd were greatly struck with his teaching.

mnt@Mark:11:19 @ Now every evening he used to go outside the city;

mnt@Mark:11:20 @ and as they (he and his disciples) were passing along in the morning, they saw the fig tree already withered from the root.

mnt@Mark:11:21 @ Then Peter remembered, and exclaimed, "Look, Rabbi, the fig tree which you cursed is withered up."

mnt@Mark:11:22 @ "Take hold on Gods faithfulness," said Jesus to them in reply.

mnt@Mark:11:23 @ "In solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall say to this mountain, Up and hurl yourself into the sea! and shall not doubt in his heart, but on the contrary shall believe that what he says will happen, it will be granted him.

mnt@Mark:11:25 @ And whenever you stand up to pray, forgive, if you have anything against any one, that so your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

mnt@Mark:11:27 @ Once more they came into Jerusalem; and as he was walking in the Temple courts, there came to him the high priests and Scribes and elders and asked him.

mnt@Mark:11:28 @ "By what authority do you do these things? or who gave you this authority to do these things?"

mnt@Mark:11:29 @ "And I will put one question to you," replied Jesus. "Answer this, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

mnt@Mark:11:30 @ The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me!"

mnt@Mark:11:31 @ Then they began arguing with one another. "If we say, From heaven, he will ask, Why then did you not believe him?"

mnt@Mark:11:32 @ On the other hand, if we say, From men!"They were afraid, however, of the people, for every one held that Johnhad been really a prophet.

mnt@Mark:11:33 @ So their answer to Jesus was, "We do not know." "Neither will I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."

mnt@Mark:12:1 @ Presently Jesus began to speak to them in parables. "There was once a man," he said, "who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a pit for the wine-press, built a tower, rented it to tenants, and went abroad.

mnt@Mark:12:2 @ At vintage-time he sent a slave to the vine-dressers to collect some of the proceeds of the vineyard;

mnt@Mark:12:3 @ but they seized him, and flogged him, and sent him away empty-handed.

mnt@Mark:12:4 @ Then he sent another slave to them; and this man they knocked over the head and handled shamefully.

mnt@Mark:12:5 @ And he sent another; and him they killed; and many others; beating some, and killing some.

mnt@Mark:12:6 @ He had still one, a Son beloved, He sent him last to them, saying, "They will reverence my Son.

mnt@Mark:12:7 @ "But those tenants said to themselves. Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.

mnt@Mark:12:8 @ "So they took him and killed him, and threw his body out of the vineyard.

mnt@Mark:12:9 @ What will the owner of the Vineyard do?" "He will come and put the tenants to death," they said, "and will give the vineyard to others."

mnt@Mark:12:10 @ "Have you not read this Scripture?" (he continued) "The very stone which the builders rejected Has now become the corner-stone;

mnt@Mark:12:11 @ This is the Lords doing; It is marvelous in our eyes."

mnt@Mark:12:12 @ And they kept seeking to lay hold on him, but were afraid of the crowd, for they knew well that he had spoken this parable about them; so they left him and went away.

mnt@Mark:12:13 @ But they sent some of the Pharisees to Jesus afterward, and some of the Herodians to entrap him in conversation.

mnt@Mark:12:14 @ So when they came, they said. "Teacher, we know that you are sincere and are not afraid of any one, for you do not regard the face of men; nay, but you reach the way of God in truth. Is it right to pay poll- tax to Caesar or not?

mnt@Mark:12:15 @ Shall we pay, or not pay?" But he, knowing well their hypocrisy, said to them. "Why are you testing me? Bring me a dollar for me to look at."

mnt@Mark:12:16 @ And they brought it. "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" "Caesars," they answered.

mnt@Mark:12:17 @ And Jesus said, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God, the things that are Gods." They were amazed at him.

mnt@Mark:12:18 @ Then came up some Sadducees, men who say there is no resurrection. They too questioned him, saying.

mnt@Mark:12:19 @ "Teacher, Moses taught us that if a mans brother die, and leave a wife behind him, but no child, that his brother is to marry the widow and to raise up a family for his brother.

mnt@Mark:12:20 @ There were once seven brothers, the eldest of whom married a wife, and died leaving no family.

mnt@Mark:12:21 @ The second married her, and died without offspring; the third likewise;

mnt@Mark:12:22 @ and the seven had her, and died without issue.

mnt@Mark:12:23 @ And last of all the woman too died. In the resurrection whose wife shall she be? For the seven had her as wife."

mnt@Mark:12:24 @ "Is not this the reason for your error," Jesus answered them, "that you know not the Scripture nor the power of God?

mnt@Mark:12:25 @ When they rise from the dead men do not marry, and women are not given in marriage, but they are as the angels are in heaven.

mnt@Mark:12:26 @ But in regard to the rising again of the dead, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

mnt@Mark:12:27 @ God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are in grave error."

mnt@Mark:12:28 @ Just then up came one of the Scribes who had heard them arguing, and realized that Jesus had answered them admirably. "What commandment," he asked, "is the first of all?"

mnt@Mark:12:29 @ Jesus replied. "The first is. "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord;

mnt@Mark:12:30 @ and thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.

mnt@Mark:12:31 @ "The second is this, "Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. Other command greater than these there is none."

mnt@Mark:12:32 @ "Admirably said, O Teacher," exclaimed the Scribe. "You have truthfully said that He is one,

mnt@Mark:12:33 @ and that beside him there is none other, and to love him with all ones heart and with all ones understanding and with all ones might, and to love ones neighbor as oneself is far beyond all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

mnt@Mark:12:34 @ Jesus saw that he had answered with discrimination, and said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." After that no one ventured to question him.

mnt@Mark:12:35 @ While he was teaching in the Temple courts, Jesus in his turn asked. "How is it that the Scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

mnt@Mark:12:36 @ David himself said in the Holy Spirit, "The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand until I make thy foes the footstool of thy feet.

mnt@Mark:12:37 @ "David himself then calls him Lord; so how can he be his son?" Now the great mass of the people were wont to listen to him with delight;

mnt@Mark:12:38 @ and in his teaching he said. "Look out for the Scribes who like to walk about in long robes, and to receive salutations in the street, and to have prominent places in the synagogues,

mnt@Mark:12:40 @ they who consume the property of widows and make long, pretentious prayers. The greater shall their condemnation be."

mnt@Mark:12:41 @ Then Jesus took his seat opposite the treasury and watched the people putting their offerings into the chest. Many rich people were putting in large sums.

mnt@Mark:12:42 @ There came also a poor widow who dropped in two little coins, worth a cent.

mnt@Mark:12:43 @ On this he called his disciples to him, and said. "I tell you solemnly that this poor widow has put in more than all who have put their offerings into the treasury;

mnt@Mark:12:44 @ for they have all put in what they could spare out of their surplus, but she, out of her penury, has put in all that she possessed, her whole living."

mnt@Mark:13:1 @ As Jesus was walking out of the Temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and buildings these are!"

mnt@Mark:13:2 @ "You see these mighty buildings? There shall not be left here one stone upon another which shall not be thrown down," he answered.

mnt@Mark:13:3 @ When he had seated himself on the Mount of Olives, facing the Temple, Peter and Jamesand Johnand Andrew asked him privately,

mnt@Mark:13:4 @ "Tell us when these things shall be, and what shall be the sign that all these predictions are about to be fulfilled."

mnt@Mark:13:5 @ So Jesus began to tell them.

mnt@Mark:13:7 @ But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars do not be dismayed, such things must come, but the end is not yet.

mnt@Mark:13:8 @ For nation shall rise in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines; these are the beginning of birth-pangs.

mnt@Mark:13:9 @ "You yourselves must be on your guard. They will hand you over to the courts, and you will be flogged on the synagogues; and you will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, to witness to them for me.

mnt@Mark:13:10 @ But the gospel must first be proclaimed to all the nations.

mnt@Mark:13:11 @ When, however, they are leading you all to trial, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but whatever is given you in that hour, that say, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

mnt@Mark:13:12 @ "And brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise up against their parents, and have them put to death.

mnt@Mark:13:13 @ You will be hated by all men for my names sake, but he that endures to the end shall be saved.

mnt@Mark:13:14 @ "But when you see the Abomination of Desolation standing where he ought not (let the reader ponder this), then let those in Judea flee to the mountains;

mnt@Mark:13:15 @ let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor go in to get anything out of his house;

mnt@Mark:13:16 @ and he who is in the field, let him not turn back to get his cloak.

mnt@Mark:13:17 @ And alas for the pregnant women, and for those that are nursing their infants in those days!

mnt@Mark:13:18 @ Pray that it may not come in the winter.

mnt@Mark:13:19 @ For those will be days of suffering the like of which has never been from the beginning of Gods creation until now, and never shall be.

mnt@Mark:13:20 @ And had not the Lord cut short those days, not a single person would escape; but for the elects sake whom he has chosen, he has cut them short.

mnt@Mark:13:21 @ "At that time if any one tell you, See, here is Christ, or See, there he is, do not believe it;

mnt@Mark:13:22 @ for false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show signs and wonders, to lead astray the very chosen, if they can.

mnt@Mark:13:24 @ "But when the tribulation is past, in those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not shed her light,

mnt@Mark:13:25 @ and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

mnt@Mark:13:27 @ Then he will send forth the angels and gather his chosen from the four winds, from uttermost earth to uttermost sky.

mnt@Mark:13:28 @ "From the fig tree learn now her parable; as soon as ever her branches are full of sap and bursting into leaf, you know that summer is near.

mnt@Mark:13:29 @ So also do you, whenever you see these things happening, know that He is near, at your very door.

mnt@Mark:13:30 @ I tell you truly that the present generation shall not pass until all these things begin to happen.

mnt@Mark:13:32 @ But concerning that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven,

mnt@Mark:13:33 @ nor the Son, but only the Father.

mnt@Mark:13:34 @ Take heed! Awake! for you never know the time. As a man gone abroad and leaving his house gives authority to his slaves, to each his task;

mnt@Mark:13:35 @ and orders the porter to keep watch; keep watch then, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming - in the evening, at midnight, at cockcrow, or in the morning -

mnt@Mark:14:1 @ Now two days later was the feast of the Passover and of Unleavened Bread. Both the chief priests and the Scribes were continually seeking how they might arrest him by a stratagem and kill him;

mnt@Mark:14:2 @ but, "Not on a feast-day," they said, "for fear there should be a riot among the people."

mnt@Mark:14:3 @ And while he was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the Leper, while he was dining, a woman came with an alabaster vase of very costly, pure spikenard perfume, and, breaking the vase, she poured the perfume on his head.

mnt@Mark:14:4 @ Some of those who were present said among themselves indignantly. "Why has the perfume been wasted like this?

mnt@Mark:14:5 @ That perfume could have been sold for more than one hundred and fifty dollars, and given to the poor."

mnt@Mark:14:6 @ So they began upbraiding her, but Jesus said. "Let her alone. Why are you troubling her?

mnt@Mark:14:7 @ She has done a beautiful thing to me. For you always have the poor among you, and can show them kindness whenever you wish, but me you will not always have.

mnt@Mark:14:9 @ I tell you in solemn truth that wherever the gospel is preached throughout the whole world, there what she has done shall be told in remembrance of her."

mnt@Mark:14:10 @ Now Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went away to the high priests to betray Jesus to them;

mnt@Mark:14:11 @ and they were glad when they heard it, and promised to pay him money. So he kept looking for an opportunity to betray him.

mnt@Mark:14:12 @ And the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, the day for killing the paschal lamb, his disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make preparation for you to eat the Passover?"

mnt@Mark:14:13 @ Then he sent two of his disciples, and told them. "Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a jar of water.

mnt@Mark:14:14 @ Follow him; and whatever house he enters, say to the master of the house, The Teacher asks, "Where is your guest-chamber, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"

mnt@Mark:14:15 @ He will himself show you a large, upper room, furnished and ready. there make preparation for us."

mnt@Mark:14:16 @ So the disciples went off, and came into the city, and found everything as he had told them.

mnt@Mark:14:17 @ So they made ready the Passover, and as night fell he came, with the Twelve.

mnt@Mark:14:18 @ While they were at the table, eating, Jesus said solemnly. "It is one of you who will betray me - one who is eating with me."

mnt@Mark:14:19 @ They began to be sorrowful and to say to him, one after another, "Surely, not I?"

mnt@Mark:14:20 @ "It is one of the Twelve," said Jesus, "one who is dipping into the same dish with me.

mnt@Mark:14:21 @ For the Son of man is going his way, as the Scripture says, but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It were good for that man if he had never been born."

mnt@Mark:14:22 @ And as they were eating he took bread, and after the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "Take it, this is my body."

mnt@Mark:14:23 @ Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank of it,

mnt@Mark:14:25 @ Solemnly I tell you I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

mnt@Mark:14:26 @ Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.

mnt@Mark:14:27 @ And Jesus said to them. "All of you are about to stumble, for it is written, "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad.

mnt@Mark:14:29 @ "Although they all stumble and fall, yet will not I," answered Peter.

mnt@Mark:14:30 @ Jesus said to him, "I tell you in solemn truth that you yourself, today on this very night, before the cock crow twice, shall three times disown me."

mnt@Mark:14:31 @ But Peter kept protesting passionately, "Though I must die with you, I will not disown you!" And they all kept saying the same.

mnt@Mark:14:32 @ So they came to a place named Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, "Sit down here while I pray."

mnt@Mark:14:33 @ Then he took Peter and Jamesand Johnwith him, and began to be full of terror and distress;

mnt@Mark:14:34 @ and he said to them. "My soul is full of anguish, even unto death; wait here, and keep watch."

mnt@Mark:14:35 @ So he went a little farther, and throwing himself upon the ground, he prayed repeatedly that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

mnt@Mark:14:36 @ "Abba, Father," he said, "all things are possible with thee. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I will, but what thou wilt."

mnt@Mark:14:37 @ Then he came and found them asleep, and he said to Peter. "Are you sleeping, Simon? Could you not keep watch one hour?

mnt@Mark:14:38 @ Keep watch, all of you, and pray that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

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

mnt@Mark:14:40 @ and when he returned he found them once more asleep, for their eyes were heavy with sleep, and they knew not what to say to him.

mnt@Mark:14:41 @ Then he came the third time, and said. "Sleep on now, and take your rest! It is over. My hour is come. Look! the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

mnt@Mark:14:43 @ At that instant, while he was yet speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came up, and with him a mob armed with swords and clubs, sent by the high priests and Scribes and elders.

mnt@Mark:14:44 @ Now the betrayer had given them a sign. "The one I kiss," he said, "is the man. Arrest him, and take him away safely."

mnt@Mark:14:46 @ "Rabbi," and kissed him. Then they laid hands on him and took him.

mnt@Mark:14:47 @ But one of the bystanders drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

mnt@Mark:14:49 @ Day after day I was face to face with you in the Temple courts, teaching, and you did not seize me. But this is done that the Scriptures might be fulfilled."

mnt@Mark:14:50 @ Then they all forsook him and fled.

mnt@Mark:14:52 @ They seized him, but he left the linen sheet and fled away naked.

mnt@Mark:14:53 @ Then they took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests and elders and Scribes came with him.

mnt@Mark:14:54 @ Peter also had followed Jesus at a distance, until he was inside the court of the high priest. There he was sitting among the officers, warming himself in the light of the fire.

mnt@Mark:14:55 @ Meanwhile the high priests and all of the Sanhedrin were trying to get evidence against Jesus, so as to have him put to death, but they found none;

mnt@Mark:14:56 @ for though many gave false witness against him, their testimony did not agree.

mnt@Mark:14:58 @ "We heard him say, I will tear down this temple made by hands, and in three days I will build another temple not made by hands."

mnt@Mark:14:59 @ But even their evidence did not agree.

mnt@Mark:14:60 @ Then the high priest rose and stood forth among them. "Have you no answer to make?" he asked Jesus; "What is it that these testify against you?"

mnt@Mark:14:61 @ But he remained silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest questioned him. "Are you the Christ," he said, "the Son of the Blessed?"

mnt@Mark:14:62 @ "I am," Jesus answered, "and you all shall see the Son of man seated on the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."

mnt@Mark:14:63 @ Then the high priest tore his vestments. "Why do we need any further witness?" he exclaimed.

mnt@Mark:14:65 @ Then they all condemn him to be worthy of death. Some began to spit on him, and to blindfold him while striking him and saying, "Prophesy." The officers, too, received him into custody with blows.

mnt@Mark:14:66 @ Now while Peter was below in the courtyard, there came one of the maid servants of the high priest, and saw Peter warming himself.

mnt@Mark:14:67 @ She looked at him, and said, "You too were with the Nazarene, Jesus."

mnt@Mark:14:68 @ But he denied it. He said. "I dont know, I dont understand what you are saying." Then he went out into the porch, and the cock crew.

mnt@Mark:14:69 @ Again the maid servant saw him, and began again to tell the bystanders, "He is one of them."

mnt@Mark:14:70 @ A second time he continued to deny it. After a little the by- standers began to say to Peter again, "Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean."

mnt@Mark:14:71 @ But he began with curses an solemn oaths to say, "I do not know the man you are talking about."

mnt@Mark:14:72 @ At that instant for the second time a cock crew. Then Peter recalled the word which Jesus had spoken to him, "Before the cock crows twice you will disown me thrice." And as he thought of it, he began to weep aloud.

mnt@Mark:15:1 @ As soon as it was down, after the high priests had conferred with the elders and the whole Sanhedrin, they bound Jesus, and took him away, and handed him over to Pilate.

mnt@Mark:15:2 @ Pilate questioned him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" In reply Jesus said, "It is as you say."

mnt@Mark:15:3 @ When the chief priests continued making many accusations against him, Pilate repeatedly questioned him.

mnt@Mark:15:5 @ "See, how many accusations they are making." But Jesus no longer made any answer, at which Pilate wondered.

mnt@Mark:15:6 @ Now at the time of the feast it was customary to release to them a prisoner, whatever one they asked for.

mnt@Mark:15:7 @ A man named Barabbas was there in prison, with some rioters who had committed murder during an uprising.

mnt@Mark:15:8 @ So when the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to follow his usual custom,

mnt@Mark:15:9 @ he asked them, "Do you wish me to release the King of the Jews?"

mnt@Mark:15:10 @ For he recognized that it was through spite that the high priests had handed him over.

mnt@Mark:15:11 @ But the chief priests incited the crowds to have Barabbas released to them, instead.

mnt@Mark:15:12 @ So Pilate spoke to them once more, "What them shall I do to him you call King of the Jews?"

mnt@Mark:15:13 @ Then they shouted again, "Crucify him!"

mnt@Mark:15:14 @ "Why, what wrong has he done?" Pilate kept saying. But they shouted furiously, "Crucify him!"

mnt@Mark:15:15 @ So Pilate, who wished to make himself strong with the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and gave Jesus over for crucifixion, after he had scourged him.

mnt@Mark:15:16 @ The soldiers then led him away into the courtyard (Praetorium), and called together the whole battalion.

mnt@Mark:15:17 @ They clothed Jesus in purple, and plaited a crown of thorns, and placed it on his head.

mnt@Mark:15:18 @ Then they began to salute him. "Hail, King of the Jews," they said.

mnt@Mark:15:19 @ They kept striking him on the head with a rod, and spitting upon him; and on bended knee they did him homage.

mnt@Mark:15:20 @ And after their sport with him, they stripped off the purple robe, and put on his own clothes, and led him out to crucify him.

mnt@Mark:15:21 @ Simon a Cyrenian, a passer-by, who was coming from the country (the father of Alexander and Rufus), they commandeered to carry the cross of Jesus.

mnt@Mark:15:22 @ So they led him to the place called Golgotha - a name which means "the place of a skull."

mnt@Mark:15:23 @ There they attempted to give him wine mingled with myrrh; but he refused it. Then they crucified him, and divided his garments among them, casting lots upon them to see what each should take.

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

mnt@Mark:15:26 @ Over his head there was written the words of the charge against him. "The King of the Jews"

mnt@Mark:15:27 @ Now with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand and one on his left.

mnt@Mark:15:29 @ And the passers-by kept jeering at him, wagging their heads and saying. "Ah! you who were to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, save yourself!

mnt@Mark:15:30 @ Come down from the cross!

mnt@Mark:15:31 @ In the same way the high priests also, as well as the Scribes, kept on mocking him to themselves. "He saved others," they said, "but himself he cannot save.

mnt@Mark:15:32 @ The Christ! The King of Israel! Let him now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe." They also who had been crucified with Jesus kept reviling him.

mnt@Mark:15:33 @ At noon a darkness came over the whole country, lasting until three in the afternoon.

mnt@Mark:15:35 @ When they heard this, some of the bystanders said, "Listen, he is calling for Elijah."

mnt@Mark:15:36 @ Then a man ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, and put it on a stick, and offered it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down!"

mnt@Mark:15:38 @ And the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom.

mnt@Mark:15:39 @ Then the army captain, who was standing facing Jesus when he thus died, said, "in truth this man was a Son of God."

mnt@Mark:15:40 @ There were some women also watching from a distance. Among them were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Jamesthe younger and of Joses, and Salome,

mnt@Mark:15:41 @ women who used to follow him when he was in Galilee, and minister to him; and many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with him.

mnt@Mark:15:42 @ Toward sunset, as it was the preparation (that is the day preceding the Sabbath),

mnt@Mark:15:43 @ there came Joseph of Arimathea, a Councilor, honorable in rank, who was himself also looking for the kingdom of God. He boldly went in to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

mnt@Mark:15:44 @ But Pilate wondered whether he were already dead. So he summoned the army captain, and inquired if he had been any time dead;

mnt@Mark:15:45 @ and when he learned the fact from the army captain he gave the body to Joseph.

mnt@Mark:15:46 @ So Joseph bought him a sheet, and took Jesus down, wound him in the sheet, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock, and then rolled a stone against the opening of the tomb;

mnt@Mark:15:47 @ and Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were watching to see where he was laid.

mnt@Mark:16:1 @ When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome brought spices in order to go and anoint him.

mnt@Mark:16:2 @ And very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb as the sun was rising;

mnt@Mark:16:3 @ and they kept saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?"

mnt@Mark:16:4 @ But then as they looked up they saw that the stone, which was a very large one, was already rolled away;

mnt@Mark:16:5 @ and upon entering the tomb they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe.

mnt@Mark:16:6 @ They were terrified, but he said to them. "Do not be terrified! You are seeking Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified? He is risen; he is not here. See, the place where they laid him!

mnt@Mark:16:8 @ So they went out, and ran from the tomb, for they were trembling and amazed; and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid -

mnt@Mark:16:9 @ Now after his resurrection, early on the first day of the week he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had driven out seven demons.

mnt@Mark:16:10 @ She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

mnt@Mark:16:11 @ But they, although they heard that he was living and had been seen by her did not believe it.

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

mnt@Mark:16:13 @ They too went, and told the others; but they did not believe them, either.

mnt@Mark:16:14 @ Afterward he appeared to the Eleven themselves, as they were eating, and reproached them for their lack of faith, and stubborn hearts, because they disbelieved those who had seen him risen.

mnt@Mark:16:15 @ And he said to them. "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.

mnt@Mark:16:17 @ Moreover these signs shall follow those who believe. They shall drive out demons in my name; they shall speak with new tongues in foreign languages;

mnt@Mark:16:18 @ they shall pick up serpents, and if they drink any poison it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover."

mnt@Mark:16:19 @ So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

mnt@Mark:16:20 @ But they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the message by the miracles which followed.

mnt@Luke:1:2 @ just as they reported them to us, who were from beginning eye- witnesses and ministers of the word,

mnt@Luke:1:3 @ it seemed good to me also accurately, from the very beginning, to write them to you in order, most excellent Theophilus,

mnt@Luke:1:4 @ so that you may know the certainty of the story which you have been taught by the word of mouth.

mnt@Luke:1:5 @ In the reign of Herod, King of Judea, there was a certain priest, named Zachariah, belonging to the class of Abijah. He had a wife named Elizabeth,

mnt@Luke:1:6 @ who was a descendant of Aaron. They were both righteous in the sight of the Lord, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the law, blameless.

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

mnt@Luke:1:8 @ Now while Zachariah was acting as priest before God in the due course of his class, it fell to his lot, according to the custom of priesthood,

mnt@Luke:1:9 @ to enter into the sanctuary of the Lord and to burn incense.

mnt@Luke:1:10 @ And the whole multitude of the people were without, praying at the hour of incense.

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

mnt@Luke:1:13 @ But the Angel said to him. "Do not be afraid, Zachariah, because your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.

mnt@Luke:1:15 @ "For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, "He shall drink neither wine nor strong drink, "He shall be filled with the Holy Spirit from the hour of his birth,

mnt@Luke:1:16 @ "And shall win many of the sons of Israel to the Lord, their God.

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

mnt@Luke:1:18 @ "How shall I be sure of this?" said Zachariah to the Angel. "For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years."

mnt@Luke:1:19 @ "I am Gabriel," answered the angel, "who stand in the presence of God; and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring and to bring you this good news.

mnt@Luke:1:20 @ "And now you shall be silent and unable to speak until the day the day when this has taken place; because you did not believe my words - Words which will be fulfilled at their appointed time."

mnt@Luke:1:21 @ Meanwhile the people were waiting for Zachariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the sanctuary.

mnt@Luke:1:22 @ And when he came out he could not speak to them, and then they knew that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them and remained dumb.

mnt@Luke:1:25 @ "This has the Lord done for me. He has now deigned to take the away my reproach among men."

mnt@Luke:1:26 @ Six months later the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee, called Nazareth,

mnt@Luke:1:27 @ to a maiden betrothed to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. Her name was Mary.

mnt@Luke:1:28 @ The angel went in and said to her. "Joy to you, highly favored one! "The Lord is with you."

mnt@Luke:1:30 @ when the angel said to her. "Fear not Mary, for you have found grace with God.

mnt@Luke:1:32 @ "He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High. "And the Lord God will give him the throne of his forefather David,

mnt@Luke:1:33 @ "and he shall reign over the House of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end."

mnt@Luke:1:34 @ And Mary said to the angel. "How can this be? For I have no husband?"

mnt@Luke:1:35 @ "The Holy Spirit shall come upon you," said the angel, "and the power of the most High shall overshadow you, and therefore the holy offspring which is born, shall be called the son of God.

mnt@Luke:1:36 @ "And behold your kinswoman, Elizabeth, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this was the sixth month with her that was called barren.

mnt@Luke:1:38 @ Then Mary said. "Behold I am Lords slave. Let it be to me as you have said." Then the angel departed from her.

mnt@Luke:1:39 @ Soon after this Mary set out and hastened unto the hill-country to a town in Judah;

mnt@Luke:1:40 @ and there she came into the house of Zachariah, and greeted Elizabeth.

mnt@Luke:1:41 @ And when Elizabeth heard her salutation, the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Spirit,

mnt@Luke:1:43 @ "But why is this honor done me, that the mother of my Lord should come me?

mnt@Luke:1:44 @ "For behold when the sound of your salutation reached my ears, the babe leaped with joy within my womb.

mnt@Luke:1:45 @ "And blessed is she who believed that the Lords words spoken to her would be fulfilled."

mnt@Luke:1:46 @ And Mary said. "My soul doth magnify the Lord,

mnt@Luke:1:47 @ "My spirit exults in the God, who is my Saviour,

mnt@Luke:1:48 @ "For he has regarded the humiliation of his slave, And from this hour all ages will count me blessed.

mnt@Luke:1:51 @ "He has showed strength with his arm. "He has scattered proud in the imagination of their hearts;

mnt@Luke:1:52 @ "he has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted those of low degree.

mnt@Luke:1:53 @ "The hungry he has filled with good things, But the rich he has sent empty away.

mnt@Luke:1:55 @ "As he spoke to our forefathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever."

mnt@Luke:1:57 @ Now when the time of Elizabeths delivery was come, she gave birth to a son;

mnt@Luke:1:58 @ and her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her,

mnt@Luke:1:59 @ and came on the eighth day to circumcise the child. They were about to call him "Zachariah," after his father,

mnt@Luke:1:60 @ when his mother said, "No, he is to be called John."

mnt@Luke:1:61 @ Said they, "You have no relatives of that name!"

mnt@Luke:1:62 @ Then they asked his father by signs what he wished to call the child.

mnt@Luke:1:65 @ And there came a great fear upon all in the neighborhood; and throughout the hill country of Judea all these sayings were much talked about.

mnt@Luke:1:66 @ All the story laid it up in their hearts, saying "What, then, will this child be?" For the Lords hands was with him.

mnt@Luke:1:67 @ And his father, Zachariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying.

mnt@Luke:1:68 @ "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, For he has visited and redeemed his people,

mnt@Luke:1:69 @ "And has raised up a mighty Deliverer for us In the house of his servant David,

mnt@Luke:1:70 @ "As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets Which have been since the world began

mnt@Luke:1:71 @ To deliver us from our enemies, and from the power Of all who hate us.

mnt@Luke:1:72 @ "He showed mercy to our forefathers, He remembered his holy covenant,

mnt@Luke:1:73 @ "The oath which he swore to Abraham, our forefather,

mnt@Luke:1:74 @ "That he we should be delivered out of the Hand of our enemies, And should serve him without fear,

mnt@Luke:1:76 @ "And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Most High, For thou shalt go before the Lord to prepare the way

mnt@Luke:1:77 @ "To give to his people a knowledge of salvation Through the remission of their sins,

mnt@Luke:1:78 @ "Through the heart of mercy of our God, Whereby the Dayspring from on high shall visit us,

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

mnt@Luke:1:80 @ And the child grew, and became strong in the Spirit, and remained in the desert till the day of his showing to Israel.

mnt@Luke:2:1 @ In those days Augustus Caesar issued an edict for a census of the whole inhabited world.

mnt@Luke:2:2 @ This was the first census, When Quirinius was governor of Syria.

mnt@Luke:2:3 @ And every one went to be registered, each to the town to which he belonged.

mnt@Luke:2:4 @ And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city if Nazareth, into Judea, to Davids town of Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David.

mnt@Luke:2:6 @ But while they were there the days were fulfilled for her delivery.

mnt@Luke:2:7 @ And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.

mnt@Luke:2:8 @ And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night.

mnt@Luke:2:9 @ When suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them; and they feared with a great fear. The angel said to them.

mnt@Luke:2:10 @ "Have no fear, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people.

mnt@Luke:2:11 @ "For unto you born this day in there is born in Davids town a Saviour, who is the Anointed Lord.

mnt@Luke:2:12 @ "And this is a sign to you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes lying in a manger."

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

mnt@Luke:2:14 @ "Glory to God in the highest, And in earth peace among men who please him"

mnt@Luke:2:15 @ Now when the angels had left them, and gone away to heaven, the shepherds said to one to another, "Let us go now even to Bethlehem, and see this saying which has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us."

mnt@Luke:2:16 @ so they made haste, and came and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.

mnt@Luke:2:17 @ When they had seen, they made known about the words which had been spoken to them concerning the child.

mnt@Luke:2:18 @ And all who heard it were astonished at the things which were told to them by the shepherds.

mnt@Luke:2:19 @ But Mary treasured up all those words, Often pondering on on them in her heart.

mnt@Luke:2:20 @ And the shepherds returned, glorifying God and praising him for all those things that they had seen and heard, even as it was told to them.

mnt@Luke:2:21 @ When eight days had passed, and the time had come to circumcise him, he was called Jesus, the name given him by the angel before his conception in the womb.

mnt@Luke:2:22 @ And when the days for purification according to the law of Moses had passed, they took him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord,

mnt@Luke:2:23 @ as it is written in the law of Moses, Every firstborn male shall be called holy to the Lord.

mnt@Luke:2:24 @ And they also offered a sacrifice as commanded in the Law of the Lord A pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.

mnt@Luke:2:25 @ Now there was in Jerusalem a man whose name was Simeon. He was righteous and devout, and was waiting for the consolation of Israel. The Holy Spirit was upon him.

mnt@Luke:2:26 @ Now it has been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lords Christ.

mnt@Luke:2:27 @ And he came into the Temple, led by the Spirit. and when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,

mnt@Luke:2:30 @ "Because my eyes had seen the salvation,

mnt@Luke:2:31 @ "Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;

mnt@Luke:2:32 @ "A light for the unveiling of the Gentiles And the glory of thy people Israel."

mnt@Luke:2:33 @ And while his father and mother were marveling at the words that were spoken concerning him, Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother.

mnt@Luke:2:34 @ "Behold this child is set for the falling and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.

mnt@Luke:2:35 @ Yea, and a sword shall pierce through your own soul also, that the thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed."

mnt@Luke:2:36 @ There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in age, having lived with her husband seven years, after her girlhood,

mnt@Luke:2:37 @ and then being a widow even for fourscore and four years. She departed not from the temple, but worshiped with the fasting and prayer, night and day.

mnt@Luke:2:38 @ She came up at that very hour, and gave thanks to God, and spoke of the child to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.

mnt@Luke:2:39 @ As soon as all that the law required had been done, they returned to Galilee to their own town, Nazareth.

mnt@Luke:2:40 @ And the child grew and became strong, becoming full of wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

mnt@Luke:2:41 @ Now his parents were accustomed to go up to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover.

mnt@Luke:2:42 @ And when he was twelve years old they went up, as was customary, at the time of the feast

mnt@Luke:2:43 @ After spending the full number of days they started home, but the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother did not know this,

mnt@Luke:2:44 @ but supposed that he was in the company, and went a days journey. Then they hunted for him among his kinsfolk and acquaintance;

mnt@Luke:2:45 @ and when they did not find him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for him.

mnt@Luke:2:46 @ On the third day they found him sitting in the Temple, among the Rabbis, both listening to them and asking questions.

mnt@Luke:2:48 @ When they saw him they were astonished, and his mother said to him "Child, why have you treated us so? Behold your father and I have been looking for you in anguish."

mnt@Luke:2:49 @ He answered, "Why is it that you have been looking for me, did you not realize that I had to be in my Fathers house?"

mnt@Luke:2:50 @ But they did not understand the words that he spoke to them.

mnt@Luke:2:51 @ Then he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and he was always obedient to them. But his mother kept treasuring up all these incidents in her hearts.

mnt@Luke:3:1 @ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip, tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias, tetrarch of Abilene;

mnt@Luke:3:2 @ during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the Desert.

mnt@Luke:3:3 @ And Johnwent into all the region about the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

mnt@Luke:3:4 @ As it is written in the book of the prophet Isaiah. The voice of one crying in the desert, Prepare the way for God, make straight paths for him.

mnt@Luke:3:5 @ Every ravine shall be filled up, Every hill and mountain shall be laid low, The crooked shall be made straight, And the rough roads smooth;

mnt@Luke:3:6 @ And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

mnt@Luke:3:7 @ So Johnused to say to the crowd of those who were going out to be baptized by him. "You breed of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

mnt@Luke:3:8 @ Then bring forth fruit befitting your penitence, and do not begin to say to yourselves, "We have Abraham as our father." I tell you that God is able to raise up sons to Abraham out of these stones.

mnt@Luke:3:9 @ And now truly the axe is already laid at the root of the trees. So every tree which is not bearing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."

mnt@Luke:3:10 @ And the crowd began to ask him questions. "What shall we do then?" they asked. In reply he said to them.

mnt@Luke:3:11 @ "If you have two shirts share with him who has none; and let him who has food do the same."

mnt@Luke:3:12 @ There came to him publicans also to be baptized, and they said to him, "Master, what must we do?"

mnt@Luke:3:13 @ And he said to them, "Exact no more than the sum allowed you."

mnt@Luke:3:14 @ The soldiers also repeatedly questioned him, saying, "And we, what shall we do?" "Do not intimidate any one," he replied, "nor lay false charges, and be content with your pay."

mnt@Luke:3:15 @ And while the people were in expectation, and all men were debating in their hearts about John,

mnt@Luke:3:16 @ whether perhaps he were the Christ, Johnanswered, saying to all of them. "I indeed am baptizing you in water, but One is coming after me, mightier than I, whose shoe-latchet I am not worthy to unloose. He shall baptize you in the Holy Ghost and in fire.

mnt@Luke:3:17 @ He has his fan in his hand to cleanse his threshing-floor thoroughly, and to gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff will he burn with unquenchable fire."

mnt@Luke:3:18 @ With many other exhortations then Johndeclared the gospel to the people;

mnt@Luke:3:19 @ but Herod, the Tetrarch, when reproved by him because of Herodias, his brothers wife, and because of all the wicked deeds that he had done,

mnt@Luke:3:20 @ added yet this above them all that he shut up Johnin prison.

mnt@Luke:3:21 @ Now after all the people had been baptized, and Jesus himself had been baptized and was praying,

mnt@Luke:3:22 @ heaven opened, and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form like a dove, descended upon him. and a voice came out of heaven, saying. "Thou art my Son, dearly beloved; in thee is my delight."

mnt@Luke:3:23 @ And Jesus himself when he began to teach was about thirty years of age. He was the son (as it was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

mnt@Luke:4:1 @ Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, came back from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days, all the time tempted by the devil.

mnt@Luke:4:2 @ He ate nothing during these days, and at the close of them he was hungry.

mnt@Luke:4:3 @ The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God tell this stone to become bread."

mnt@Luke:4:5 @ And the devil led him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time, and the devil said to him.

mnt@Luke:4:7 @ "If then you will worship me, it shall all be yours."

mnt@Luke:4:8 @ "It is written," answered Jesus, "Thou shalt worship the Lord, thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."

mnt@Luke:4:9 @ Then he brought him to Jerusalem, and caused him to stand upon the Temple roof, and said to him. "If you really are the Son of God throw yourself down here;

mnt@Luke:4:10 @ for it is written, "He shall give his angels charge of thee, to guard thee safely;

mnt@Luke:4:11 @ "They will bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy food against a stone."

mnt@Luke:4:12 @ "It has been said," replied Jesus, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord, thy God."

mnt@Luke:4:13 @ So, after exhausting on him every kind of temptation, the devil left him for a time.

mnt@Luke:4:14 @ Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and his fame spread throughout all the surrounding country,

mnt@Luke:4:15 @ and he began to teach in their synagogues, and was glorified by all.

mnt@Luke:4:16 @ Then he came to Nazareth where he had been brought up. and, as was his custom, he entered into the synagogue on the Sabbath Day, and stood up to read.

mnt@Luke:4:17 @ And there was handed him the roll of the prophet Isaiah; and unrolling it he found the place where it was written,

mnt@Luke:4:18 @ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me Because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, He has sent me to proclaim release to the prisoners, And recovery of sight to the blind; To set at liberty those that are bruised,

mnt@Luke:4:19 @ To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

mnt@Luke:4:20 @ Then rolling up the papyrus, he gave it back to the attendant and sat down.

mnt@Luke:4:21 @ The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him, and he began to say to them, "Today is this scripture fulfilled in your hearing."

mnt@Luke:4:22 @ And they all spoke well of him, and marveled at the words of charm that fell from his lips. "Is not this the son of Joseph?" they asked.

mnt@Luke:4:23 @ Jesus answered. "Doubtless you will quote the proverb to me, "Physician, heal thyself! Do also here in your own country all that we hear that you have done in Capernaum."

mnt@Luke:4:25 @ In very truth I tell you there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were closed for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land;

mnt@Luke:4:26 @ "yet Elijah was not sent to any one of them, but only to a widow in Zarephath in Sidon.

mnt@Luke:4:27 @ "And there were many lepers in Israel in the days of the prophet Elisha, yet none of them was cleansed but only Naaman the Syrian."

mnt@Luke:4:28 @ When they had heard these words, those in the synagogue were filled with fury;

mnt@Luke:4:29 @ they rose, hurried him outside the town, and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, intending to cast him down headlong.

mnt@Luke:4:30 @ But he, passing through the midst of them, took his departure.

mnt@Luke:4:31 @ Then he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and continued to teach the people on the Sabbath Days.

mnt@Luke:4:32 @ They were deeply impressed by his teaching because his speech was with authority.

mnt@Luke:4:33 @ And there was in the synagogue a man possessed by the spirit of a foul demon. He cried out, in a loud voice, saying.

mnt@Luke:4:35 @ And Jesus rebuked him, saying. "Be quiet! Come out of him." And when the demon had thrown the man down before them, he came out of him without doing him any harm.

mnt@Luke:4:36 @ All were amazed, and began to ask one another, saying. "What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits and they come out."

mnt@Luke:4:37 @ And the talk about him spread into every locality in the surrounding country.

mnt@Luke:4:38 @ Now when he rose and left the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon, where Simons mother-in-law lay sick of a great fever. And they kept entreating him for her.

mnt@Luke:4:39 @ And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her; and at once she arose and ministered unto them.

mnt@Luke:4:40 @ At sunset all they who had any sick with any sort of disease brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them.

mnt@Luke:4:41 @ Demons also came out of many, screaming and saying, "You are the Son of God." But he rebuked them, and did not permit them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

mnt@Luke:4:42 @ And when it was daybreak he left the town, and went away to a solitary place; and the crowd kept seeking him. Coming at length upon him, they attempted to detain him so that he should not leave them.

mnt@Luke:4:43 @ But he said to them. "I must preach the gospel of the kingdom of God to the other towns also; for that is what I was sent to do."

mnt@Luke:4:44 @ So he continued to preach in the synagogues of Galilee.

mnt@Luke:5:1 @ On one occasion when he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, the crowd pressed upon him to listen to the word of God.

mnt@Luke:5:2 @ But he saw two fishing-boats on the shore of the lake; the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets.

mnt@Luke:5:3 @ He went on board one of the boats which belonged to Simon, and asked him to push out a little way from land. Then he sat down and continued to teach the crowd from the boat.

mnt@Luke:5:5 @ "Master," answered Simon, "although we toiled all night, we took nothing; but at your bidding I will let down the nets."

mnt@Luke:5:6 @ And when they had done this they enclosed a great multitude of fish; and their nets began to break.

mnt@Luke:5:7 @ So they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.

mnt@Luke:5:8 @ When Simon Peter saw this he fell down at the knees of Jesus, exclaiming, "Depart from me, O Lord, for I am a sinful man!"

mnt@Luke:5:9 @ (For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the haul of fish which they had made;

mnt@Luke:5:11 @ So when they had brought their boats to land they left everything and followed him.

mnt@Luke:5:12 @ Another time when he was in one of their cities, there was a man there full of leprosy. And he, upon seeing Jesus, fell on his face and implored him. "Lord," he said, "if only you choose you can make me clean."

mnt@Luke:5:14 @ And instantly the leprosy left him. Jesus ordered him to tell no one, "But be off," he said, "show yourself to the priest, and make the offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."

mnt@Luke:5:15 @ But all the more the report about him continued to spread; and great crowds began to come together to hear him, and to be healed of their infirmities.

mnt@Luke:5:16 @ But Jesus himself habitually withdrew into solitary places, and there used to pray.

mnt@Luke:5:17 @ One day he was teaching, and near to him were seated Pharisees and teachers of the Law, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.

mnt@Luke:5:18 @ And behold there came men carrying a paralytic on a bed; and they tried to bring him and lay him before Jesus, but they could not because of the crowd.

mnt@Luke:5:19 @ So they went up on the roof, and let him down through the tiling, with his bed, into the crowd, before Jesus.

mnt@Luke:5:20 @ When Jesus saw their faith, he said to him, "Man, your sins are forgiven you!"

mnt@Luke:5:21 @ And the Scribes and Pharisees began to cavil. "Who is this?" they asked, "speaking blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

mnt@Luke:5:22 @ Conscious of their cavilings, Jesus answered, saying.

mnt@Luke:5:24 @ But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins (he said to the paralytic), "I bid you rise, take up your bed, and go to your house."

mnt@Luke:5:25 @ And instantly he arose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and went away to his house, glorifying God.

mnt@Luke:5:26 @ Astonishment fell upon them all, and they began to glorify God, and they were filled with awe, and they said, "We have seen strange things today."

mnt@Luke:5:27 @ After this he went forth and noticed a tax-gatherer, named Levi, sitting at the tax-office, and said to him, "Follow me."

mnt@Luke:5:29 @ Levi also made him a great reception at his house. There was a large party of tax-gatherers and others who were dining with them.

mnt@Luke:5:30 @ And the Pharisees and their scribes began complaining to his disciples, saying, "Why are you eating and drinking with tax- gatherers and sinners?"

mnt@Luke:5:31 @ Jesus answered them saying. "They who are well have no need of a physician, but they who are ill.

mnt@Luke:5:32 @ I am not come to call the righteous but sinners, to repentance."

mnt@Luke:5:33 @ Again they said unto him. "Why do the disciples of Johnfast frequently, and make supplications, as also do the disciples of the Pharisees, but your disciples are eating and drinking?"

mnt@Luke:5:34 @ "Can you make the bridal party fast," he asked, while the bridegroom is still with them?

mnt@Luke:5:35 @ "But there is coming a day when the Bridegroom will have been taken away from them; then at that time they will fast."

mnt@Luke:5:36 @ He also told them a parable. "No one," he said, "tears a piece from a new garment, and patches it upon an old one; otherwise he will tear the new garment, and the patch from the new will not mend the old.

mnt@Luke:5:37 @ "Nor does any one pour new wine into old wine-skins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins, and will itself be spilled, and the skins be destroyed

mnt@Luke:5:39 @ "And no man after drinking old wine, wishes for new; for he says, "The old is better.""

mnt@Luke:6:1 @ It happened that on a Sabbath he was going through the wheat-fields. His disciples were picking the ears and eating the wheat, rubbing it out with their hands.

mnt@Luke:6:2 @ And some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what it is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?"

mnt@Luke:6:4 @ "How he entered into Gods house and took and ate the Presented Loaves, and gave some to his followers, loaves which none must eat but the priests?

mnt@Luke:6:5 @ "THE SON OF MAN," he told them, "IS LORD EVEN OVER THE SABBATH."

mnt@Luke:6:6 @ On another Sabbath he went into a synagogue and was teaching; and there was there a man whose right hand was withered.

mnt@Luke:6:7 @ Now the Scribes and Pharisees kept watching to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might be able to bring on accusations to him.

mnt@Luke:6:8 @ He was all along aware of their thoughts; and he said to the man with the withered hand, "Rise, and stand there in the midst."

mnt@Luke:6:9 @ So he rose and stood. Then Jesus said to them. "I ask you whether it is lawful on the Sabbath Day to do good or to do harm? To save a life or to destroy it?"

mnt@Luke:6:10 @ Then he looked round about on them in anger, and said to him, "Stretch out your hand!"

mnt@Luke:6:11 @ He did so; and his hand was restored. But they were filled with fury, and they began to talk over together what they could do to Jesus.

mnt@Luke:6:12 @ It happened about that time that he went out into the mountain to pray. He continued all night in prayer to God.

mnt@Luke:6:13 @ And when day dawned he called his disciples, and from among them he selected twelve, whom also he called Apostles missionaries.

mnt@Luke:6:14 @ They were Simon, whom he had also called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John;

mnt@Luke:6:15 @ Philip and Bartholomew; Mathew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon called the Zealot;

mnt@Luke:6:16 @ Jude the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who was the traitor.

mnt@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 great many people from all Judea and Jerusalem and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon. These came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases.

mnt@Luke:6:19 @ The whole crowd were trying to touch him, because power emanated from him and cured them all.

mnt@Luke:6:20 @ Then raising his eyes upon his disciples he began to say to them. "Blessed are you poor, For the kingdom of God is yours.

mnt@Luke:6:22 @ "Blessed are you when men shall hate you, And excommunicate you and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil because of the Son of man.

mnt@Luke:6:23 @ "Rejoice in that day and exult, For your reward is great in heaven; For even so did their fathers to the prophets.

mnt@Luke:6:26 @ "Woe to you when all men shall speak well of you! For even so did their fathers to the false prophets.

mnt@Luke:6:33 @ "And if you are kind to those who are kind to you, what credit is it to you? Even sinners do the same.

mnt@Luke:6:35 @ "But you must love even your enemies and be kind to them, And lend, despairing of no man. Then your reward will be great, And you will be the sons of the Most High; For he is kind even to the ungrateful and to the evil.

mnt@Luke:6:38 @ "Pardon, and you shall be pardoned; Give, and gifts shall be given to you; Full measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, they shall pour into your bosom. For with what measure you measure, they will measure back to you."

mnt@Luke:6:39 @ He also told them a parable. "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

mnt@Luke:6:41 @ "And why do you look at the splinter that is in your brothers eye, but never consider the beam that is in your own eye?

mnt@Luke:6:42 @ "Or how can you say to your brother. "Brother, allow me to pull that splinter out of your eye," when you do not see the beam in your own eye? Hypocrite! Take out first the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the splinter from your brothers eye.

mnt@Luke:6:49 @ "But he who listens but does not do, is like a man who built a house upon the soil, without foundations, against which the torrent burst, and at once it fell in, and the ruin of that house was great."

mnt@Luke:7:1 @ After he had ended all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he went to Capernaum.

mnt@Luke:7:2 @ Here the slave of a certain Roman captain, a man dear to his master, was ill, and at the point of death.

mnt@Luke:7:3 @ So when the captain heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to ask him to come and save his slave.

mnt@Luke:7:4 @ And they, when they reached Jesus, asked him earnestly to do this. "He deserves that you should do this," they said,

mnt@Luke:7:6 @ So Jesus started to go with them, but while he was not far from the house, the captain sent friends to him with a message. "Lord do not trouble yourself, for I am not fit that you should come under my roof,

mnt@Luke:7:7 @ "and so I did not think myself worthy to come to you; but speak the word, and let my man be cured.

mnt@Luke:7:9 @ But when Jesus heard this he was astonished and he turned and said to the crowd that was following him, "I tell you that not even in Israel have I found faith like that."

mnt@Luke:7:10 @ And those who had been sent, on returning to the house, found the slave well.

mnt@Luke:7:12 @ Now when he drew near the gate of the city, behold, they were there carrying out one who was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow.

mnt@Luke:7:13 @ A great crowd accompanied her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep."

mnt@Luke:7:14 @ And he came near and touched the bier; the bearer stopped and he said, "Young man, I bid you to rise."

mnt@Luke:7:15 @ And he who was dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.

mnt@Luke:7:16 @ And awe took hold on them all, and they began to glorify God saying. "A great prophet has risen among us;" and, "God has visited his people."

mnt@Luke:7:17 @ And the report of what Jesus had done went forth throughout Judea and the surrounding regions.

mnt@Luke:7:18 @ Johns disciples brought him word of all these things

mnt@Luke:7:19 @ and, calling a certain two disciples to him, he sent them to Jesus, to say, "Are you the coming one, or if we are to expect another?"

mnt@Luke:7:20 @ So the men came to Jesus and said, "Johnthe Baptist has sent us to ask you if you are the coming one, or if we are to expect another."

mnt@Luke:7:21 @ At that moment Jesus was healing many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and to many that were blind he was freely giving their sight.

mnt@Luke:7:22 @ So he answered them. "Go your way, tell Johnwhat you have seen and heard. How the blind are seeing, the lame are walking, the lepers are being cleansed, the deaf are hearing, the dead are being raised, and the poor are hearing the proclamations of glad tidings.

mnt@Luke:7:24 @ When Johns messengers were gone he began to speak to the crowds about John, saying, "What went out you out to the desert to behold? A reed shaken by the wind?

mnt@Luke:7:25 @ "But what you went out to behold? A man clothed in soft robes? Behold, men who are gorgeously dressed and live in luxury are in kings palaces.

mnt@Luke:7:27 @ "Yes, I tell you and more than a prophet. This is he who it is written. "Behold I send a messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.

mnt@Luke:7:29 @ On hearing this all the people and the tax-gatherers acknowledged the justice of God by being baptized with the baptism of John;

mnt@Luke:7:30 @ but the Pharisees and lawyers who had refused his baptism, frustrated Gods purpose for themselves.

mnt@Luke:7:31 @ "To what then shall I compare the men of this generation?

mnt@Luke:7:36 @ One of the Pharisees kept urging him to dine, so he entered the house and reclined at table.

mnt@Luke:7:37 @ Now there was a woman who was in the city, a sinner and when she knew that that Jesus was reclining at meat in the Pharisees house, she brought an alabaster vase of perfume,

mnt@Luke:7:38 @ and standing behind, at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and to wipe them with her hair, while she tenderly kissed his feet, and poured the perfume over them.

mnt@Luke:7:39 @ When he noticed this the Pharisee, who had invited him, said to himself, "If this man were really a prophet he would have perceived who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, and would know that she is a sinner."

mnt@Luke:7:40 @ Jesus then spoke to him. "Simon, I have a word to say to you." "Rabbi, say on," he replied.

mnt@Luke:7:41 @ "There were once to men," said Jesus, "in debt to one money- lender. One owed him fifty pounds; the other five.

mnt@Luke:7:42 @ "When they had nothing pay he forgave them with such charm. "Tell me, then, which of these will love him most?"

mnt@Luke:7:43 @ "I take it," said Simon, "the one he forgave the most."

mnt@Luke:7:44 @ "You have rightly judged." answered Jesus, and turning to the woman, he said to Simon. "Do you see this woman? When I came into your house you gave me no water for my feet; but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

mnt@Luke:7:47 @ "This is why I tell you that her sins, many as they are, are forgiven, for her love is great; but he who is forgiven little, loves but little.

mnt@Luke:7:49 @ Then the other guest began to say among themselves, "Who is this even to forgive sins?"

mnt@Luke:7:50 @ But he said to the woman. "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."

mnt@Luke:8:1 @ It happened shortly afterwards that he began to go from town to town and village to village, preaching and telling the good news of the kingdom of God.

mnt@Luke:8:2 @ The twelve were with him, and certain women whom he had delivered from evil spirits and various diseases. Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons have been driven,

mnt@Luke:8:3 @ and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herods steward, and Susanna, and many other women, who used to minister to him out of their substance.

mnt@Luke:8:4 @ As a great crowd was gathering, and men of town after town kept restoring to him, he spoke a parable to them.

mnt@Luke:8:5 @ "A sower went out to sow his seed, and as he sowed some fell by the wayside, and was trodden under foot, and the wild birds ate it up.

mnt@Luke:8:6 @ "Some other seed dropped on the rock, as soon as it grew it withered away, because it had no moisture.

mnt@Luke:8:7 @ "Another part fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew with it and choked it.

mnt@Luke:8:9 @ Then his disciples began to interrupt him, saying, "What does this parable mean?"

mnt@Luke:8:10 @ He answered. "To you it is given to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of God; But all others are taught in parables so that seeing they shall not see, and hearing they shall not hear.

mnt@Luke:8:11 @ "This is the meaning of the parable. The seed is the word of God.

mnt@Luke:8:12 @ "Those by the wayside are people who hear, but then comes the devil and carries off the word from their heart, so that they may not believe and not be saved.

mnt@Luke:8:13 @ "Those on the rock are people who, upon hearing, receive the word with joy; but they have no root. For a time indeed they all believe, but in time of temptation they fall away.

mnt@Luke:8:14 @ "And that which fell upon thorns is those who have heard, but as they go on their way of word is choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of life; so they bring no fruit of perfection.

mnt@Luke:8:15 @ "And that in the good soil is those who have listened to the message and, in an honest and good heart, hold fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.

mnt@Luke:8:16 @ "When he lights a lamp no one covers it with a vase or hides it under a bed; he puts it on a lamp-stand so whoever may behold the light.

mnt@Luke:8:18 @ "Take heed, then, how you listen. for he who has, to him shall it be given, but from him who has not, shall be taken away even what he has."

mnt@Luke:8:19 @ There came to him his mother and his brothers, and they could not reach him because of the crowd.

mnt@Luke:8:20 @ But some one told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you."

mnt@Luke:8:21 @ "My mother and brothers," he answered, "are those who listen to the word of God and obey it."

mnt@Luke:8:22 @ Now it happened that one of these days he got into a boat, And him his disciples, and he said to them, "Let us cross to the other side of the lake."

mnt@Luke:8:23 @ So they set sail. While they were sailing he fell asleep. And there fell on the lake a squall of wind, so that the boat began to fill, and they to be in deadly peril.

mnt@Luke:8:24 @ Then they came to him and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are lost!" Then he awoke, and rebuked the winds and the raging of the sea. They ceased, and there was a calm.

mnt@Luke:8:25 @ "Where is your faith?" he asked them, In their terror they were filled with amazement, and said to one another, "Who is this who commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him?"

mnt@Luke:8:26 @ Then they put in at the country of Gadarenes, which is across from Galilee.

mnt@Luke:8:27 @ When he landed here he was met by a certain townsman who was possessed by demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes and nor lived in any house, but in tombs.

mnt@Luke:8:29 @ For Jesus was already commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him and held him, and they again and again kept him under guard, and put him in chains and fetters. But he would break his bonds asunder, as he was driven by the demon in to the desert.

mnt@Luke:8:31 @ So they besought Jesus not to command them to go away into the abyss.

mnt@Luke:8:32 @ Now there was a great herd of swine feeding on the hillside, and the demons begged him to give them leave to enter them. He gave them leave.

mnt@Luke:8:33 @ The demons came out of the man, and entered into the swine; the herd rushed violently down over the cliff into the lake.

mnt@Luke:8:34 @ And those who saw what had happened fled and reported it in the town and the villages.

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

mnt@Luke:8:36 @ Then those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been saved.

mnt@Luke:8:37 @ And the whole populace of Gadarenes and the surrounding territory besought Jesus to go away from them; for they were terror-stricken. So he entered a boat and returned.

mnt@Luke:8:38 @ But the man out of whom the demons had gone kept begging him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away saying,

mnt@Luke:8:39 @ "Return to your home, and tell them all that God has done for you." So he went away and throughout the whole city he published how much Jesus had done for him.

mnt@Luke:8:40 @ And as Jesus returned the crowd welcomed him;

mnt@Luke:8:41 @ for they were all waiting for him. Just then there came a man named Jarius, and he was ruler in the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus feet and begged him to come into his house;

mnt@Luke:8:42 @ for he had only one daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as he went the crowds continued to press in on him.

mnt@Luke:8:44 @ came close behind him, and touched the hem of his garment; and instantly the hemorrhage ceased.

mnt@Luke:8:45 @ "Who is that touched me?" said Jesus and when everybody denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are hemming you in and pressing upon you."

mnt@Luke:8:46 @ But Jesus said. "Some one did touch me; for I perceived that the power was proceeding out of me."

mnt@Luke:8:47 @ Then the woman, who saw that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and falling down before him, stated before the people for what reason she had touched him, and how she had been instantly healed.

mnt@Luke:8:49 @ As he was speaking some one came from the house of the synagogue, saying. "Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the Master."

mnt@Luke:8:51 @ So he came to the house, and would not permit anyone to go in with him except Peter and Johnand James, and the father and Mother of the little girl.

mnt@Luke:8:52 @ The people were weeping and bewailing her, but he said. "Stop your wailing; for she is not dead, but asleep."

mnt@Luke:8:53 @ They began to laugh him to scorn, because they knew well that she was dead.

mnt@Luke:8:54 @ But he took her by the hand and called to her, "Little daughter, rise!"

mnt@Luke:8:56 @ He bade them to get her some food. Her parents were amazed; but he forbade them to tell any one what had been done.

mnt@Luke:9:1 @ Then he called the Twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal;

mnt@Luke:9:2 @ and sent them out to preach the kingdom of God, and heal the sick.

mnt@Luke:9:3 @ And he said to them. "Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money, and do not have two tunics.

mnt@Luke:9:4 @ "Into whatever house you enter, there stay, and thence depart.

mnt@Luke:9:5 @ "If any one will not receive you, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave this town, as a testimony against them."

mnt@Luke:9:6 @ So they went forth, and walked from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

mnt@Luke:9:7 @ Now Herod, the Tetrarch, heard of all that was happening; and he was perplexed because of its being said by someone that Johnwas risen from the dead;

mnt@Luke:9:8 @ and by some that Elijah had appeared; and by others that one of the ancient prophets was risen again.

mnt@Luke:9:10 @ On their return the apostles told him what they had done. and he took them and withdrew in private to a town called Bethsaida.

mnt@Luke:9:11 @ But when the crowd learned this they followed him. He received them kindly and spoke to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed restored to good health.

mnt@Luke:9:12 @ But now the day began to decline, and the twelve came to him and said. "Send away the crowd so that they may go into the villages and surrounding the country to lodge and buy provisions; for here we are on a solitary place."

mnt@Luke:9:13 @ "Do you yourselves give them food," he answered. "We have nothing," they replied "Except five loaves, and a couple fish, unless you mean for us to go and buy provisions for all the crowd."

mnt@Luke:9:14 @ (For there were about five thousand men.) "Make them sit down in table-companies, of about fifty each," he said to his disciples.

mnt@Luke:9:15 @ This they did, and made them all sit down.

mnt@Luke:9:16 @ Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up in heaven, he blessed them, broke them in pieces, and began to giving to his disciples to apportion among the crowd.

mnt@Luke:9:17 @ So they ate and were filled, all of them. And there was picked up that which remained over to them, of broken pieces, twelve basketfuls.

mnt@Luke:9:18 @ Now it happened that while he was praying by himself, the disciples were with him, and he asked them a question. "Who do the crowd think I am?"

mnt@Luke:9:19 @ "Johnthe Baptist," they answered, "But others say Elijah, and others that one of the ancient prophets is risen again."

mnt@Luke:9:20 @ Then he said to them, "But who do you say I am? Then Peter answered saying, "The Christ of God.

mnt@Luke:9:21 @ Then he strictly forbade them to tell this to any one;

mnt@Luke:9:22 @ and he said, "The Son of man must suffer much, and be restricted by the elders and high priests and scribes and be put to death, and on the third day be raised again."

mnt@Luke:9:25 @ "For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose or forfeit himself?

mnt@Luke:9:26 @ "For whoever is ashamed of me and of my teachings, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in his own and in his Fathers glory, and in that of the holy angels.

mnt@Luke:9:27 @ "But I tell you truly there are some of those standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God."

mnt@Luke:9:28 @ About eight days after this it happened that Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and went up on the mountain to pray.

mnt@Luke:9:29 @ And as he was praying the appearances of his countenance became different, and his clothing became white and dazzling.

mnt@Luke:9:30 @ And suddenly there were two men talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah.

mnt@Luke:9:31 @ These appeared in glory and talked about his departure which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

mnt@Luke:9:32 @ Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep; but when they were fully awake they saw his glory, and the two men were standing beside him.

mnt@Luke:9:33 @ And when they were preparing to depart from him Peter said to Jesus. "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" - not knowing what he was saying.

mnt@Luke:9:34 @ And while he was saying this, there came a cloud and began to overshadow them; and they were awestruck as they entered into the cloud.

mnt@Luke:9:35 @ And a voice came out of the cloud, saying. "This is my Son, my chosen one; listen to him."

mnt@Luke:9:36 @ When the voice ceased Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no one at that time about what they had seen.

mnt@Luke:9:37 @ It happened the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, that a large crowd came to meet him;

mnt@Luke:9:38 @ and a man called out of the crowd saying. "Teacher, I beg you to look upon my son; for he is my only boy,

mnt@Luke:9:40 @ "I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."

mnt@Luke:9:42 @ But while he was yet coming the demon dashed him down, and cruelly convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the boy, and gave him back to his father.

mnt@Luke:9:43 @ And they were all awestruck at the mighty power of God. But while everyone was marveling at what he was doing, he said to his disciples.

mnt@Luke:9:44 @ "Let these words sink into your ears; for the son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men."

mnt@Luke:9:45 @ But they did not understand this saying; it was hidden from them so that they perceived it not, and they were sore afraid to ask him about his saying.

mnt@Luke:9:46 @ Now there arose a dispute among them as to which one of them was the greatest.

mnt@Luke:9:47 @ And Jesus who knew the dispute that was in their hearts, took a young child, and placed him by his side;

mnt@Luke:9:48 @ then he said to them. "Whoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me; and whoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For it is the lowliest among you all who is great."

mnt@Luke:9:51 @ When now when the time drew near for him to be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

mnt@Luke:9:52 @ and sent messengers before him. These went and entered into a Samaritan village to make ready for him.

mnt@Luke:9:53 @ But they did not receive him because his face was set to go to Jerusalem.

mnt@Luke:9:54 @ And when his disciples, Jamesand John, saw this they said, "Lord, are you willing for us to bid fire come down from heaven and destroy them?" As Elijah did.

mnt@Luke:9:55 @ But he turned and rebuked them and said,

mnt@Luke:9:56 @ "You know not what kind of spirit you share, for the Son of man came not to destroy mens lives, but to save them." And they went to another village.

mnt@Luke:9:57 @ As they were going on their way, a man came to him and said, "I will follow wherever you go."

mnt@Luke:9:58 @ "The foxes have their holes," Jesus answered, "and the wild birds have their nest, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head."

mnt@Luke:9:59 @ To another he said, "Follow me!" But he replied, "Permit me first to go and bury my father."

mnt@Luke:9:60 @ "Leave the dead to bury their own dead," said Jesus to him, "go you and announce, far and wide the kingdom of God."

mnt@Luke:9:61 @ And another man also said to him. "I will follow you, Lord; but first permit me to bid farewell to those who are in my house."

mnt@Luke:9:62 @ But Jesus answered him, "No man who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

mnt@Luke:10:1 @ After this the appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two before his face, into every city and place into which he himself intended to go.

mnt@Luke:10:2 @ And he thus addressed them. "The harvest is abundant, but the harvesters are few. do you therefore pray the lord of the harvest to send forth harvesters into his harvest.

mnt@Luke:22:8 @ So Jesus went to Peter and Johnsaying, "Go and prepare for us the Passover, that we may eat it."

mnt@Luke:22:9 @ "Where shall we get it ready?" they asked.

mnt@Luke:22:10 @ He answered. "No sooner will you have entered the city than you will meet a man carrying a water-jug. Follow him into the house were he is going.

mnt@Luke:22:11 @ "And to the good man of the house say, The teacher asks you, "Where is the room in which I can eat the Passover with my disciples?"

mnt@Luke:22:12 @ "Then he will show you a large upper room furnished. There make your preparations."

mnt@Luke:22:13 @ So they went and found everything as he had told them, they prepared the Passover.

mnt@Luke:22:14 @ And when the hour was come he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him,

mnt@Luke:22:15 @ and he said to them. "With desire have I longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

mnt@Luke:22:16 @ For I tell you that I certainly will not eat again until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God."

mnt@Luke:22:17 @ Then he had received a cup and given thanks, he said,

mnt@Luke:22:18 @ "Take this, and divide it among yourselves; for I tell you that I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God is come."

mnt@Luke:22:19 @ And he took a loaf, and after giving thanks, he broke it and gave it to them saying. "This is my body, which is given for you; this do in remembrance of me.

mnt@Luke:22:20 @ He gave them a cup in like manner, after supper saying. "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, poured out for your sake.

mnt@Luke:22:21 @ "But behold, the hand of my betrayer is at the table with me!

mnt@Luke:22:22 @ "The Son of man indeed goes on his way, as it has been determined; but woe to that man by who he is betrayed."

mnt@Luke:22:23 @ And they began to question among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do such a thing.

mnt@Luke:22:24 @ And there arose also a dispute among them as to which of them could be considered the greatest,

mnt@Luke:22:25 @ and he said to them. "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who have who have authority over them are called Benefactors.

mnt@Luke:22:26 @ "But you shall not be so. But he who is greater among you let him become like the younger; and he who is leader like him who serves.

mnt@Luke:22:29 @ "And I promise you a kingdom, even as my Father has promised me a kingdom;

mnt@Luke:22:30 @ "so that you shall eat and drink in my kingdom, and you shall sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

mnt@Luke:22:31 @ "Simon, Simon," said the Lord, "behold, Satan has asked to have you all that he might sift you like wheat.

mnt@Luke:22:32 @ "But I made supplication for you that your own faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned again, must strengthen your brothers."

mnt@Luke:22:34 @ "I tell you, Peter," he answered. "the cock will not crow this day until you will three times deny that you know me."

mnt@Luke:22:35 @ Moreover, he said to them, "When I sent you out without purse or wallet or sandals, did you lack anything?" They answered him, "We lacked nothing.

mnt@Luke:22:36 @ Then he said to them. "But now let him who has a purse take it, and he who has a wallet, let him the do the same. And he who has no sword, let him sell his cloak and buy one.

mnt@Luke:22:37 @ "For I say to you that this word of Scripture must find its fulfilment in me. "And he was numbered among the transgressors, For that which concerns me has its accomplishment."

mnt@Luke:22:38 @ "Master" they said, "here are two swords!" "That is enough," he answered.

mnt@Luke:22:39 @ Then he went out, and began to go to the Mount of Olives, as was his wont; and his disciples followed him.

mnt@Luke:22:40 @ But he arrived at the place he said to them, "Pray that you enter not into temptation."

mnt@Luke:22:41 @ But he himself withdrew from them about a stones throw, kneeling down he prayed repeatedly, saying.

mnt@Luke:22:42 @ "Father, if thou art willing, take away this cup from me; but thy will, not mine, be done!"

mnt@Luke:22:43 @ (And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

mnt@Luke:22:44 @ (And being in agony he kept praying more earnestly; and his sweat became as if it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.)

mnt@Luke:22:45 @ When he arose from his prayers, and came to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

mnt@Luke:22:46 @ and said to them. "Why are you asleep? Get up, and pray that you enter not into temptation."

mnt@Luke:22:47 @ While he was still speaking there came a crowd, and he who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus in order to kiss him,

mnt@Luke:22:48 @ but Jesus said to him, "Judas, you are betraying the Son of man with a kiss?"

mnt@Luke:22:49 @ Those who were around him, when they saw what was about to happen, said to him, "Lord, shall we strike with our swords?"

mnt@Luke:22:50 @ Then one of them did strike a blow at the high priests slave, and cut off his right ear.

mnt@Luke:22:52 @ Then Jesus said to the corps of priests and captains of the temple and elders who had come out to arrest him. "Have ye come for me with swords and clubs to arrest me like a robber?

mnt@Luke:22:53 @ "When daily I was with you in the temple you did not stretch out your hands to take me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness."

mnt@Luke:22:54 @ So they seized him and led him away, and took him to the house of the high priest; while Peter was following him a long way off.

mnt@Luke:22:55 @ And when they had lighted a fire in the center of the court, and had sat down together, Peter was taking his seat among them.

mnt@Luke:22:56 @ But a certain maid servant saw him taking his seat near the fire and, with a sharp glance at him, she said, "This fellow was with him, too!"

mnt@Luke:22:58 @ A little later a man saw him, and said, "You too are one of them" But Peter declared, "Man, I am not."

mnt@Luke:22:59 @ But an hour afterwards another man kept insisting, saying. "Really, this fellow was with him. Why, he is a Galilean."

mnt@Luke:22:60 @ "Man," said Peter, "I do not know what you mean." And immediately, while he was still speaking, the cock crew.

mnt@Luke:22:61 @ Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter, and Peter recollected the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, "This very day, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times."

mnt@Luke:22:63 @ Meanwhile the men who were holding Jesus in custody kept mocking and striking him.

mnt@Luke:22:64 @ They would blindfold him and ask him. "Prophesy! Tell who struck you!"

mnt@Luke:22:65 @ And they said many other insulting things against him.

mnt@Luke:22:66 @ When it became the day the elders if the people met with the high priests and the Scribes and had brought before the Sanhedrin, saying.

mnt@Luke:22:67 @ "Are you the Christ? Tell us!" "If I tell you," he answered, "you will not believe;

mnt@Luke:22:69 @ "But from henceforth the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."

mnt@Luke:22:70 @ Then they all said, "Are you then the Son of God."

mnt@Luke:22:71 @ "What need we of further evidence? for we ourselves have heard it from his own lips."

mnt@Luke:23:1 @ Then the whole company rose up and brought him to Pilate,

mnt@Luke:23:2 @ and began to accuse him. "We have found this fellow perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and proclaiming that he is the Messiah and King."

mnt@Luke:23:3 @ Then Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him saying, "Certainly I am."

mnt@Luke:23:4 @ And Pilate said to the chief priest and the crowd, "I find no harm in this man."

mnt@Luke:23:5 @ But they repeatedly insisted, "He is stirring up the people throughout all Judea with his teaching which started from Galilee."

mnt@Luke:23:6 @ When Pilate heard the word "Galilee" he asked if the man were a Galilean,

mnt@Luke:23:10 @ Meanwhile the high priests and Scribes were standing around, and continually making accusations to him against him.

mnt@Luke:23:11 @ Then Herod and his soldiers set him at naught, and mocked him, and throwing about him a gorgeous robe, sent him back to Pilate.

mnt@Luke:23:12 @ Herod and Pilate became friends again from that very day; for before they had been at enmity between themselves.

mnt@Luke:23:13 @ So Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

mnt@Luke:23:14 @ and said to them. "You brought before me this man as one who incited the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence, and I find no fault in this man regarding the charges that you brought against him.

mnt@Luke:23:15 @ Neither does Herod; for he sent him back to us. You see that he has done nothing worthy of death.

mnt@Luke:23:16 @ I will therefore, after flogging him, release him."

mnt@Luke:23:17 @ "Now he had to release to them at the feast one prisoner."

mnt@Luke:23:18 @ Then the whole crowd shouted out, "Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas."

mnt@Luke:23:19 @ (This was a man who had been thrown in prison on account of a riot which had occurred in the city, and for murder.)

mnt@Luke:23:20 @ Then Pilate spoke to them again, because he wished to release Jesus;

mnt@Luke:23:21 @ but they continued to shout out and say, "Crucify! Crucify him!"

mnt@Luke:23:22 @ For the third time he appealed to them. "But what crime has he committed? I have found in him nothing that deserves death. I will therefore flog him, and let him go."

mnt@Luke:23:23 @ But they kept shouting the more insistently, demanding that he should be crucified, and their shouts won the day.

mnt@Luke:23:24 @ So Pilate gave sentence what they wished should be done.

mnt@Luke:23:25 @ He released the man who had been put in prison for riot and murder, the man whom they asked for; but Jesus he handed over to their will.

mnt@Luke:23:26 @ And when they led him away they took hold of Simon, a Cyrenean, who was coming in from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it behind Jesus.

mnt@Luke:23:27 @ He was also followed by a great crowd of people, and of women too, who were beating their breast and lamenting him.

mnt@Luke:23:29 @ "but weep for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming when they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have never bore children, and the breasts that never suckled.

mnt@Luke:23:33 @ When they came to the place called "The Skull," there they crucified him and the criminals also, one upon his right hand, and one upon his left.

mnt@Luke:23:34 @ Jesus kept saying, "Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided his garments among them, casting lots for them,

mnt@Luke:23:35 @ and the people stood looking on. Even the rulers repeatedly taunted him, saying, "He saved others, let him save himself, if this fellow is indeed the Christ of God, His Chosen One!"

mnt@Luke:23:36 @ Even the soldiers made sport of him by coming up and offering him sour wine,

mnt@Luke:23:37 @ saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself."

mnt@Luke:23:38 @ For there was an inscription over his head, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

mnt@Luke:23:39 @ And one of the criminals who had been hung there kept reviling him, saying. "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us."

mnt@Luke:23:40 @ But the other, answering, reproved him, saying. "Have you no fear of God even? When you are suffering the same punishment as he?

mnt@Luke:23:44 @ It was now about the sixth hour, and a darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.

mnt@Luke:23:45 @ And the sun was darkened, and the curtain of the sanctuary was torn in two in the Temple.

mnt@Luke:23:46 @ Then with a loud cry, Jesus said, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit!" And after uttering these words, he yielded up his spirit.

mnt@Luke:23:47 @ When the army captain saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, "This man was really innocent!"

mnt@Luke:23:48 @ And all the crowds who had assembled to see this spectacle, after witnessing what had been done, were returning beating upon their breast.

mnt@Luke:23:49 @ But all his acquaintances and the women who had been his followers continued to stand at a distance, looking on.

mnt@Luke:23:50 @ Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good man and a righteous,

mnt@Luke:23:51 @ he who came from the Jewish town of Arimathea, and who was on the watch for the kingdom of God. He had not concurred in the designs and deed of the council.

mnt@Luke:23:52 @ This man went to Pilate, and begged for the body of Jesus.

mnt@Luke:23:53 @ Then taking it down, he wrapped it in linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no man has ever been laid.

mnt@Luke:23:54 @ And it was the day of preparation and the Sabbath was near at hand.

mnt@Luke:23:55 @ Then the women who had accompanied him out of Galilee followed after, and noted the tomb, and how his body was placed.

mnt@Luke:23:56 @ Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes.

mnt@Luke:24:1 @ On the Sabbath Day they rested in obedience to the commandment, but in the deep dawn of the first day of the week they took the spices which they had prepared, and came to the tomb.

mnt@Luke:24:2 @ And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

mnt@Luke:24:3 @ and on entering they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

mnt@Luke:24:4 @ While they were still perplexed over this, it happened that the two men stood near them in dazzling raiment.

mnt@Luke:24:5 @ They were terrified, and bowed down their faces to the ground, but the men said to them. "Why are you seeking him who lives among the dead?

mnt@Luke:24:7 @ that the Son of man had to be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and to rise on the third day?"

mnt@Luke:24:8 @ Then they recollected his words,

mnt@Luke:24:9 @ and turning away from the tomb they told all this to the eleven, and to all the rest.

mnt@Luke:24:10 @ It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James, and the rest of the women who were telling all this to the apostles.

mnt@Luke:24:11 @ But the whole story seemed to them but an idle tale; and they disbelieved the women.

mnt@Luke:24:12 @ Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb, but when he stooped and looked in he saw the linen wrappings by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass.

mnt@Luke:24:14 @ They were talking together about all these events,

mnt@Luke:24:15 @ and as they talked and discussed matter, Jesus himself drew near and began walking beside them.

mnt@Luke:24:16 @ But their eyes continued to be held that they should not recognize him even for an instant,

mnt@Luke:24:17 @ And he said to them, "What words are these that you are exchanging one with another, as you walk along?"

mnt@Luke:24:18 @ They stood still, looking sad. And one of them named Cleopas, answered him, "Do you sojourn alone in Jerusalem, that you do not know what things have been happening there these days?"

mnt@Luke:24:19 @ "What kind of things?" he answered. And they said. "The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;

mnt@Luke:24:21 @ "But we were hoping that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this is the third day since these things happened.

mnt@Luke:24:22 @ "Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They went to his tomb at daybreak,

mnt@Luke:24:23 @ "and found that his body was not there; then they came and told us that besides they had seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

mnt@Luke:24:24 @ "Thereupon some of our own party to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said, but him they did not see."

mnt@Luke:24:25 @ "O foolish men," said Jesus, "slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

mnt@Luke:24:26 @ "Behooved it not the Christ to suffer thus, and then to enter into his glory?"

mnt@Luke:24:27 @ And beginning with Moses and the Prophets, he interpreted all the passages concerning himself.

mnt@Luke:24:28 @ When they drew near to the village to which they are were going, he appeared to be going farther.

mnt@Luke:24:29 @ But they urged him to stay with them, saying, "Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent."

mnt@Luke:24:30 @ So he went in to stay with them. But as he sat down with them, and took bread, and had blessed and broken it, and was handing it to them,

mnt@Luke:24:31 @ their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight.

mnt@Luke:24:32 @ "Were not our hearts burning within us," they said to each other, "while we were talking with him on the way, and he was opening to us the scriptures?"

mnt@Luke:24:33 @ So they rose and returned to Jerusalem that very hour, and found the Eleven and the others all met together,

mnt@Luke:24:34 @ saying, "The Lord is really risen, and has appeared to Simon!"

mnt@Luke:24:35 @ Then they began to tell what happened on the road, and he was known to them when he broke the bread.

mnt@Luke:24:36 @ While they were yet speaking he stood among them and said, "Peace be to you!"

mnt@Luke:24:37 @ They were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost.

mnt@Luke:24:38 @ And he said to them. "Why are you disturbed? And why do questions rise in your hearts?

mnt@Luke:24:40 @ Then he showed them his hands and feet.

mnt@Luke:24:41 @ But while they still did not believe it for joy, and were filled with wonder, he asked them, "Have you anything here to eat?"

mnt@Luke:24:42 @ So they gave him a piece of broiled fish,

mnt@Luke:24:43 @ and he took it and ate it in their presence.

mnt@Luke:24:44 @ Then he said to them, "These are my words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, how all things must be fulfilled which are written in the Law of Moses, and the prophets, and the Psalms concerning me."

mnt@Luke:24:45 @ Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,

mnt@Luke:24:46 @ and he said. "Thus it is written that the Christ should suffer and rise again from the dead, the third day;

mnt@Luke:24:47 @ "and that repentance unto remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

mnt@Luke:24:49 @ "And I will send forth the promise of my Father upon you. But tarry in Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high."

mnt@Luke:24:50 @ And he led them out until they were over against Bethany; and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.

mnt@Luke:24:51 @ And it happened that while he was blessing them, that he parted from them and was carried into heaven.

mnt@Luke:24:52 @ And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

mnt@Luke:24:53 @ and were continually in the temple, blessing God.

mnt@John:1:1 @ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was face to face with God, and the Word was God.

mnt@John:1:2 @ He was face to face with God in the Beginning.

mnt@John:1:4 @ In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

mnt@John:1:5 @ And the light is shining in the darkness, and the darkness has not overwhelmed it

mnt@John:1:7 @ He came as a witness, that he might bear testimony concerning the Light - so that all men might believe through him.

mnt@John:1:8 @ He was not the Light; it was to bear testimony concerning the Light that he came into being.

mnt@John:1:9 @ The true Light, which enlightens every man, was then coming into the world.

mnt@John:1:10 @ He was in the world, and through him the world came into being, yet the world knew him not.

mnt@John:1:12 @ But to all who receive him, to them he has given the right to become children of God, even to those who trust in his name;

mnt@John:1:13 @ who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

mnt@John:1:14 @ And the Word became flesh and tented with us. And we gazed on his glory - glory as of the Fathers only Son - full of grace and truth.

mnt@John:1:17 @ For the Law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

mnt@John:1:18 @ No man has ever seen God; God, only begotten, who is in the bosom of the Father - he has interpreted him.

mnt@John:1:19 @ Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent some priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

mnt@John:1:20 @ He acknowledged - he did not deny it - but acknowledged, "I am not the Christ."

mnt@John:1:21 @ "What then?" they questioned; "Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he replied.

mnt@John:1:22 @ Then said they to him. "Who are you? That we may give some answer to those who sent us. What account do you give of yourself?"

mnt@John:1:23 @ He said, "I am a voice of one who cries aloud in the desert, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah."

mnt@John:1:24 @ Now it was some of the Pharisees who had been sent to him;

mnt@John:1:25 @ so they questioned him, saying, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

mnt@John:1:29 @ The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said. "Behold, that is Gods Lamb, who takes and bears away the sin of the world.

mnt@John:1:32 @ John also bore this testimony, saying. "I saw the Spirit like a dove descend from heaven and rest upon him.

mnt@John:1:33 @ And I did not recognize him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and resting upon him, is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.

mnt@John:1:34 @ This I have seen, and I am become a witness to the fact that he is the Son of God."

mnt@John:1:36 @ After gazing intently on Jesus as he walked about, he said, "Look! that is the Lamb of God!"

mnt@John:1:37 @ The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus.

mnt@John:1:38 @ Then Jesus turned and saw them following him, and said, "What do you want?" They replied, "Rabbi" (which may be translated Teacher), "where are you staying?"

mnt@John:1:39 @ He said to them, "Come, and you shall see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was then about four oclock in the afternoon.

mnt@John:1:40 @ One of the two men who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.

mnt@John:1:41 @ In the morning he found his brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (a word which means Christ, the Anointed One).

mnt@John:1:44 @ Now Philip belonged to Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.

mnt@John:1:45 @ Then Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found him about whom Moses wrote in the Law, as did the prophets - Jesus of Nazareth, Josephs son."

mnt@John:1:47 @ Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and said, "Behold a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."

mnt@John:1:48 @ "How do you know me?" asked Nathanael. "Before Philip called you," replied Jesus, "when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

mnt@John:1:49 @ "Rabbi," answered Nathanael, "you are the Son of God; you are King of Israel."

mnt@John:1:50 @ Jesus said in reply. "Do you believe because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree?

mnt@John:1:51 @ You shall see greater things than that! Believe me," he added, "you all shall see heaven opened wide, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."

mnt@John:2:1 @ Now two days after this there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;

mnt@John:2:2 @ Jesus also was invited to the wedding, and his disciples.

mnt@John:2:3 @ And when the wine ran short, Jesus mother said to him, "They have no wine."

mnt@John:2:5 @ His mother said to the attendants, "Whatever he may tell you to do, do it."

mnt@John:2:6 @ Now there were six stone water - jars standing there, according to the Jewish rites of purification, each holding about twenty gallons.

mnt@John:2:7 @ Jesus said, "Fill up the jars with water."

mnt@John:2:8 @ So they filled them brimful. Then he said, "Draw some out now, and carry it to the master of the feast."

mnt@John:2:9 @ So they carried it. And when the master of the feast had tasted of the water which had been made wine, not knowing where it came from, though the attendants who had drawn it knew, he called the bridegroom and said to him.

mnt@John:2:10 @ "Everybody serves first the good wine, and when people have drunk freely, the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."

mnt@John:2:11 @ This beginning of signs Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and showed forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him there.

mnt@John:2:12 @ Afterward he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and remained there a few days.

mnt@John:2:13 @ Now the Passover of the Jews was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

mnt@John:2:14 @ There he found in the temple those who were selling cattle and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting there.

mnt@John:2:15 @ So he plaited a scourge of rushes, and drove all out of the temple - both the sheep and oxen. He began to pour out the coins of the money- changers, and to overturn their tables,

mnt@John:2:16 @ and said to those who were selling doves. "Take these things away! Make not my Fathers house a house of trade!

mnt@John:2:17 @ His disciples recalled that it is written, The zeal of thine house will devour me.

mnt@John:2:18 @ Then the Jews asked Jesus, "What sign are you going to show us, seeing that you do these things?"

mnt@John:2:20 @ The Jews retorted, "This Temple took forty-six years to build, and will you raise it in three days?"

mnt@John:2:21 @ But he was speaking about the temple of his body; and when the disciples recalled what he had said,

mnt@John:2:22 @ after he had been raised from the dead, they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

mnt@John:2:23 @ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, many believed in his name, when they beheld the signs which he did;

mnt@John:2:24 @ but for his part Jesus was not trusting himself to them, because he knew all men,

mnt@John:3:1 @ Now there was one of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler among the Jews.

mnt@John:3:2 @ This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him. "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher sent from God; for no man can do these signs which you are continually doing, unless God is with him."

mnt@John:3:3 @ "In very truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "that unless a man is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

mnt@John:3:4 @ "How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus replied; "Can he enter a second time into his mothers womb, and be born?"

mnt@John:3:5 @ "I tell you solemnly," Jesus answered, "that unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

mnt@John:3:6 @ What is born of the flesh is flesh; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

mnt@John:3:8 @ The wind blows where it wills, and you hear its voice, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with every one who has been born of the Spirit."

mnt@John:3:10 @ "Are you the Teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?" said Jesus.

mnt@John:3:13 @ There is no one gone up to heaven, except the One who came down from heaven - the Son of man himself.

mnt@John:3:14 @ And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up,

mnt@John:3:16 @ "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever trusts in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

mnt@John:3:17 @ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.

mnt@John:3:18 @ He who trusts in him is not condemned, but he who does not trust has already been condemned, because he has not put his trust in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

mnt@John:3:19 @ And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

mnt@John:3:20 @ For every one who practises wrong hates light, and does not come to the light, lest his actions be exposed;

mnt@John:3:21 @ but he who does what is true, comes to the light, in order that his actions may be shown to have been wrought in God."

mnt@John:3:22 @ After this Jesus and his disciples went into the countryside of Judea, and there he was staying with them and baptizing.

mnt@John:3:23 @ John also was baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because there were many streams there, and people kept coming to receive baptism.

mnt@John:3:25 @ Then some of Johns disciples got into a controversy with a Jew in regard to purification; so they came to John and said to him.

mnt@John:3:26 @ "Rabbi, see! The man who was with you on the other side of Jordan, and to whom you yourself have borne testimony, is now baptizing, and everybody is coming to him."

mnt@John:3:28 @ You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, I am not the Christ, but have been sent before him.

mnt@John:3:29 @ He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegrooms voice. So then this joy of mine has now complete fulfilment.

mnt@John:3:31 @ "He that comes from above is above all; but one who is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaks. He who comes from heaven is above all.

mnt@John:3:34 @ For he whom God sent utters the words of God; for God does not give the Spirit sparingly.

mnt@John:3:35 @ the Father loves the Son and has committed everything into his hands.

mnt@John:3:36 @ Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him."

mnt@John:4:1 @ Accordingly when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John,"

mnt@John:4:5 @ so he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

mnt@John:4:6 @ Jacobs Spring was there. So Jesus, tired out with his journey, was sitting thus by the spring.

mnt@John:4:8 @ Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink" (for his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.)

mnt@John:4:9 @ "How is it," answered the Samaritan woman, "that you who are a Jew ask a drink from me, a woman, and a Samaritan?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

mnt@John:4:10 @ "If you had known the free gift of God," Jesus answered, "and who it is that says to you, Give me a drink, you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water."

mnt@John:4:11 @ "Sir," said the woman, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; whence have you that living water?

mnt@John:4:12 @ Surely you are not greater than our Father Jacob, who gave us the well, and used to drink from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle, too?"

mnt@John:4:14 @ but whoever once drinks of the water that I will give him, shall never thirst any more, but the water that I will give him shall become a living spring of water within him, welling up into eternal life."

mnt@John:4:15 @ "Sir!" exclaimed the woman, "give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty, nor come all this way to draw water."

mnt@John:4:16 @ Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and then come here."

mnt@John:4:17 @ "I have no husband," answered the woman. "You are right in saying I have no husband,"Jesus said to her,

mnt@John:4:18 @ "for you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband; in this you have spoken truly."

mnt@John:4:19 @ "I see, Sir, that you are a prophet," replied the woman.

mnt@John:4:20 @ "Our forefathers worshiped in this mountain, yet you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship."

mnt@John:4:21 @ "Woman, believe me," said Jesus, "that the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

mnt@John:4:22 @ You are worshiping something you do not know. we know what we worship, for salvation comes from the Jews.

mnt@John:4:23 @ But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father is seeking such as his worshipers.

mnt@John:4:25 @ "I know," said the woman, "that Messiah is coming, who is called the Christ; when he has come he will tell us everything."

mnt@John:4:27 @ Just then his disciples came up, and were astonished that he was talking with a woman; yet not one of them asked him, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?"

mnt@John:4:28 @ Then the woman left her water-jar, and went away into the city and began saying to the people.

mnt@John:4:29 @ "Come! see a man who has told me everything that I ever did. He cant be the Christ, can he?"

mnt@John:4:30 @ They left the city and set out to go to him.

mnt@John:4:31 @ Meanwhile the disciples kept urging him.

mnt@John:4:32 @ "Rabbi," they said, "eat something." But he answered, "I have food to eat of which you know nothing."

mnt@John:4:33 @ So the disciples began to say to one another, "Can any one have brought him something to eat?"

mnt@John:4:34 @ Jesus said to them. "My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.

mnt@John:4:35 @ Do you not say, It wants yet four months, and then comes the harvest?Look, I tell you! Lift up your eyes and behold the fields, that they are already white for harvest.

mnt@John:4:36 @ The reaper is already receiving wages and gathering a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

mnt@John:4:37 @ For in this respect the saying is true, One sows, another reaps.

mnt@John:4:38 @ I sent you to reap a crop on which you have not toiled. Others have toiled, and you have reaped the benefit of their toil."

mnt@John:4:39 @ Many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the word of the woman when she declared, "He told me everything that I ever did."

mnt@John:4:40 @ So when the Samaritans arrived, they began asking him to remain with them; and he stayed there two days.

mnt@John:4:41 @ Then many more believed because of what he said, himself; and they told the woman.

mnt@John:4:42 @ "We no longer believe because of what you said. for we ourselves have heard him, and we know that this is certainly the Saviour of the world."

mnt@John:4:43 @ After these two days Jesus went away from there into Galilee.

mnt@John:4:45 @ When he reached Galilee, however, the Galileans welcomed him, for they had seen all that he did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they, too, had been at the feast.

mnt@John:4:46 @ So he came back again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. Now there was one of the kings officers whose son was lying ill at Capernaum.

mnt@John:4:47 @ When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down and heal his son who was lying at the point of death.

mnt@John:4:48 @ Then Jesus said to him, "Unless you all see signs and wonders, you will not believe."

mnt@John:4:49 @ "Sir," said the kings officer, "come down before my little boy dies."

mnt@John:4:50 @ Jesus answered. "Go your way. Your son lives." And the man believed the word which Jesus spoke to him, and started to go home.

mnt@John:4:52 @ So he asked them at what hour he had begun mend. They answered, "Yesterday, about one oclock, the fever left him."

mnt@John:4:53 @ Then the father realized that it had left him at the very hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son lives," and he himself believed, and his whole household.

mnt@John:4:54 @ This is the second sign which Jesus performed, on returning from Judea to Galilee.

mnt@John:5:1 @ After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

mnt@John:5:2 @ Now there is in Jerusalem a pool near the Sheep-gate, called in the Hebrew, Bethesda.

mnt@John:5:3 @ It has five colonnades. In these there used to lie a great crowd of sick people - blind, lame, paralyzed.

mnt@John:5:5 @ And there was one man there for thirty-eight years in his infirmity.

mnt@John:5:6 @ When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to get well?"

mnt@John:5:7 @ "Sir," answered the sick man, "I have no man to put me into the pool whenever the water is troubled; and while I am trying to come, some one else steps down before me."

mnt@John:5:9 @ Instantly the man became well, and he took up his bed and started to walk. Now it was Sabbath on that day;

mnt@John:5:10 @ so the Jews kept saying to the man who had been cured. "It is the Sabbath Day; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed."

mnt@John:5:11 @ He replied, "The man who healed me told me to take up my bed and walk."

mnt@John:5:12 @ "Who is it," they asked, "that said to you, take up your bed and go walking away?"

mnt@John:5:13 @ But he who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had moved away, as there was a crowd in that place.

mnt@John:5:14 @ Afterward Jesus found him in the Temple, and said to him. "Look! You have become well. Do not go on sinning, lest a worse thing befall you."

mnt@John:5:15 @ The man went to and told the Jews that it was Jesus who made him well;

mnt@John:5:16 @ and because of this the Jews began to persecute Jesus, because he had done it on the Sabbath.

mnt@John:5:17 @ But he answered them, "My Father has continued working until now, and I am working too."

mnt@John:5:18 @ For this reason the Jews continued to seek the more eagerly to put him to death, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was actually speaking of God as his own Father, thus making himself of Gods equal.

mnt@John:5:19 @ So Jesus answered them in these words. "In solemn truth I tell that the Son cannot do anything of himself, except what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, that the Son does also.

mnt@John:5:20 @ "For the Father loves the Son, and shows him every thing that he himself is doing. And greater deeds than these will he show him, that you may wonder.

mnt@John:5:21 @ "For just as the Father raises the dead and makes them alive, even so the Son makes whom he will alive.

mnt@John:5:22 @ "The Father indeed does not judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son,

mnt@John:5:23 @ "in order that all may honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor Son, does not honor the Father who sent him.

mnt@John:5:25 @ "Solemnly I tell you that the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear shall live.

mnt@John:5:26 @ "For as the Father has life in himself, so also has he granted to the Son to have life in himself.

mnt@John:5:28 @ "Do not wonder at this, because an hour is coming in which all who are in their graves shall hear his voice and shall come forth again;

mnt@John:5:30 @ "I can of my own self do nothing. As I listen, I judge, and my own judgment is just, because I am not seeking my own will, but the will of Him who sent me.

mnt@John:5:32 @ "Another bears testimony to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears concerning me is valid.

mnt@John:5:33 @ "You yourselves sent to John, and he has been and is a witness to the truth.

mnt@John:5:35 @ "That man was the Lamp-burning and shining - and you were willing for a time rejoice in his light.

mnt@John:5:36 @ "But I have testimony greater than that of John; for the work which the Father has given me to bring to completion - the work which I am doing - bears testimony concerning me, that the Father has sent me.

mnt@John:5:37 @ "And the Father who sent me has himself borne testimony concerning me. None of you has heard his at any time or seen him,

mnt@John:5:39 @ "You are searching the Scriptures because you suppose that in tem you have eternal life; and though these are they that bear witness concerning me,

mnt@John:5:42 @ "that you have not the love of God in yourselves.

mnt@John:5:43 @ "I am come in the name of my Father and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

mnt@John:5:44 @ "How can you believe when you receive glory from, one another, and have no desire for the glory which comes from the only God?

mnt@John:5:45 @ "Do not imagine that I shall accuse you to the Father. Moses is your accuser, on whom you build your hopes.

mnt@John:6:1 @ After this Jesus went away across the Sea of Galilee (that is the lake of Tiberias).

mnt@John:6:2 @ A great crowd were following him, because they witnessed the signs which he was continually performing among those who were ill.

mnt@John:6:3 @ Then Jesus walked up the hills and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Jewish feast, the Passover, was at hand.

mnt@John:6:5 @ he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?"

mnt@John:6:7 @ "Thirty-five dollars worth of bread," answered Philip, "is not enough for them, so that each can take a morsel."

mnt@John:6:8 @ One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon, said to him.

mnt@John:6:9 @ "There is a lad who has five barley loaves and a couple of fish; but what is that among so many?"

mnt@John:6:10 @ "Make the men sit down," said Jesus. The ground was covered with thick grass; so the men sat down, in numbers about five thousand. "of righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you will no longer see me;

mnt@John:6:11 @ Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks he distributed them among those who were seated; in like manner also of the fish, as much as they wished,

mnt@John:6:12 @ and when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the fragments that are left, so that nothing may be wasted."

mnt@John:6:13 @ So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves - the broken pieces that were left after they had eaten.

mnt@John:6:14 @ So when the people saw the sign which he had performed, they said, "This is in the truth the Prophet who is to come into the world."

mnt@John:6:15 @ When Jesus perceived that they intended to seize him in order to make him a king, he retired again to the hill all by himself.

mnt@John:6:16 @ When evening came on, his disciples went down to the sea.

mnt@John:6:17 @ There they got in a boat, and started across the sea for Capernaum. The darkness had already fallen,

mnt@John:6:18 @ Jesus had not yet come to them, and the sea began to rise, because a strong wind was blowing.

mnt@John:6:19 @ After they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing near to the boat, and they were terrified;

mnt@John:6:20 @ but he said to them, "It is I, be not afraid."

mnt@John:6:21 @ Then they were willing to take him on board, and immediately the boat reached the shore they were making for.

mnt@John:6:22 @ The crowd that remained on the other side of the sea had seen that there was only one small boat there, and that Jesus had not gone aboard with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away by themselves.

mnt@John:6:23 @ So, on the following day, when boats came from Tiberias near the place were they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks, they got into the boats themselves,

mnt@John:6:24 @ when they saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, and went to Capernaum to look for Jesus.

mnt@John:6:25 @ When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"

mnt@John:6:26 @ Jesus answered. "In solemn truth I tell you that you are looking for me, not because you saw miracles signs, but because you ate of the bread and were filled.

mnt@John:6:27 @ "Labor not for food which perishes, but for the food that endures eternal life - that which the Son of man will give you; for on the Father - God - has set his seal."

mnt@John:6:28 @ "What are we to do habitually," they asked him, "that we may keep working the words of God?"

mnt@John:6:29 @ "This is the work of God," answered Jesus, "that you believe on him whom He has sent you."

mnt@John:6:30 @ The they said to him. "What sign, then, are you performing, so that we may see it and believe in you? What work are you doing?

mnt@John:6:31 @ "Our fathers ate manna in the wilderness, as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat."

mnt@John:6:32 @ "In solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus in reply, "Moses did not give you the bread out of heaven, but my Father does give you the true bread out of heaven;

mnt@John:6:33 @ "for the bread of God is what come down from heaven, and gives life to the world."

mnt@John:6:34 @ "Ah, Sir," said they, "evermore give us this bread."

mnt@John:6:35 @ "I myself am the bread of life," answered Jesus; "he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst again.

mnt@John:6:37 @ "Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will never reject.

mnt@John:6:38 @ "For I am come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

mnt@John:6:39 @ "And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should not lose one of all those whom he has given me, but should raise them up at the last day.

mnt@John:6:40 @ "For this is my Fathers will, that every one who beholds the Son and believes on him, shall have eternal life. and I will raise him up at the last day."

mnt@John:6:41 @ Then the Jews began to find fault with Jesus, because he said, "I am the bread which comes down out of heaven," and they kept asking.

mnt@John:6:42 @ "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? How is it that he now says, I have come down from heaven?"

mnt@John:6:44 @ answered Jesus; "no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him; then I will raise him up on the last day.

mnt@John:6:45 @ "It is written in the Prophets, "And they shall all of them be taught of God. Every one who has listened to the father and learns from him, comes to me.

mnt@John:6:46 @ "Not that any one has seen the Father, except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.

mnt@John:6:48 @ "I am the bread of life.

mnt@John:6:49 @ "Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; yet they died.

mnt@John:6:50 @ "This is the bread that comes down from heaven, that one may eat thereof and never die.

mnt@John:6:51 @ "I myself am the living bread that has come down from heaven. Any one who eats this bread will live forever; and moreover, the bread which I will give is my flesh, given for the life of the world."

mnt@John:6:52 @ Then the Jews began to dispute among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

mnt@John:6:53 @ "I tell you solemnly," said Jesus, "that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

mnt@John:6:54 @ "He who feeds upon my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

mnt@John:6:57 @ "Just as the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so also that man who feeds on me shall live by me.

mnt@John:6:58 @ "This is the bread which came down from heaven; not such as your fathers ate and died, for he who feeds upon this bread shall live forever."

mnt@John:6:59 @ He spoke these words while in the synagogue, while he was teaching in Capernaum.

mnt@John:6:60 @ So many of his disciples, when they heard it, said. "This teaching is unbelievable! Who can listen to him?"

mnt@John:6:61 @ Jesus, conscious within himself that his disciples were finding fault with him about his teaching, said to them.

mnt@John:6:62 @ "Does this displease you? What then if you were to behold the Son of man ascending to where he was before?

mnt@John:6:63 @ "The spirit is what gives life; the flesh is of no avail. The words which I have been speaking to you, are spirit and are life.

mnt@John:6:64 @ "Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who should betray him.

mnt@John:6:65 @ So he added, "This is why I told you that no on can come to me unless it be given from the Father."

mnt@John:6:66 @ Therefore many of his disciples drew back and no longer companied with him.

mnt@John:6:67 @ So Jesus appealed to the Twelve. "You also do not wish to leave me, do you?"

mnt@John:6:69 @ "and we have learned to believe and we know that you are the holy one of God."

mnt@John:6:70 @ In reply Jesus said to them. "Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? And yet even of you one is an enemy."

mnt@John:6:71 @ Now Jesus was speaking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot; for Judas was to betray him, although he was one of the Twelve.

mnt@John:7:1 @ After these things Jesus continued to travel about in Galilee, for he did not wish to go about in Judea, because the Jews kept trying to kill him.

mnt@John:7:2 @ When the time of the Jewish feast of Tabernacles drew near,

mnt@John:7:3 @ his brothers said to him. "Leave here and go into Judea, so that your disciples also may behold the works which you are doing.

mnt@John:7:4 @ "For no one ever does anything in secret if he himself seeks to be known publicly. If you are performing these signs, show yourself openly to the world."

mnt@John:7:5 @ For even his own brothers did not believe in him.

mnt@John:7:7 @ "The world cannot hate you, but me it does hate, because I am bearing testimony against it, that its ways are wicked.

mnt@John:7:8 @ Do you go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fully come."

mnt@John:7:9 @ After saying this, he remained in Galilee; but after his brothers had gone up to feast,

mnt@John:7:10 @ then he went too - not openly, but as it were a secret.

mnt@John:7:11 @ The Jews meanwhile kept looking for him at feast, and saying, "Where is he?" "I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own Name these whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one.

mnt@John:7:12 @ and there was much disputing about him among the crowd. Some would say, "He is a good man." Others. "No! he is misleading the people." "While I was with them I kept them by the power of thy name which thou hast given me. I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

mnt@John:7:13 @ No one, however, was speaking openly about him, for fear of the Jews. "But now I am coming to thee, and I am speaking these things while I am in the world, so that they may have my joy in all its fulness in themselves.

mnt@John:7:14 @ But when it was already the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach. "I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

mnt@John:7:15 @ The Jews were amazed. They said, "How does this fellow know the sacred writings when he has never learned them?" "I am not asking that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt protect them from the Evil One.

mnt@John:7:16 @ In reply Jesus said to them; "My teaching is not mine, but is his who sent me. "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

mnt@John:7:17 @ "If any one wills to do Gods will he shall know concerning my teaching, whether it is from God, or I speak my own authority. "Dedicate them in thy truth; thy word is truth.

mnt@John:7:18 @ "The man who speaks on his own authority is always seeking his own glory. But one who is eager for the glory of Him who sent him, he is true, and therefore is nothing false about him.

mnt@John:7:19 @ "Did not Moses give you the Law? Yet none of you is keeping the Law. Why are you seeking to kill me?"

mnt@John:7:20 @ The crowd answered. "You have a demon! Who is trying kill you?"

mnt@John:7:21 @ Jesus answered them. "There was one thing I did, and you are all amazed.

mnt@John:7:22 @ "Consider, therefore, Moses has given you circumcision - not that Moses originated it, but the fathers - and you are accustomed to circumcise a child even on the Sabbath.

mnt@John:7:23 @ "If a child receives circumcision on the Sabbath, in order that the Law of Moses may not be broken, how can you be angry with me because I made a man sound and well on the Sabbath?

mnt@John:7:25 @ Then some of the men of Jerusalem were saying. "Is not this the man they are seeking to kill?

mnt@John:7:26 @ "And look! he is speaking boldly and they are saying nothing to him. Can it possibly be that the rulers have really discovered that he is the Christ?

mnt@John:7:27 @ "But we know this man and where he is from; but when the Christ comes no one will know where he comes from."

mnt@John:7:28 @ So Jesus cried aloud as he was teaching in the Temple, and said. "You both know me and you know where I am from; and I am not come on my own authority, but he who sent me is trustworthy, and him you do not know.

mnt@John:7:30 @ Then they kept seeking to arrest him, but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

mnt@John:7:31 @ But many of the crowd believed on him and began to say, "The Christ, when he comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?"

mnt@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the high priest and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

mnt@John:7:33 @ Then Jesus said to them. "Still for a little longer I am with you, and then I am going my way to him who sent me.

mnt@John:7:35 @ Then the Jews said to one another. "Where does this fellow intend to go, so that we shall not find him? He is not intending to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and to teach the Greeks, is he?

mnt@John:7:37 @ Now the last day, that the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried in a loud voice.

mnt@John:7:38 @ "If any man thirst let him come to me and drink. From the heart of him who believes in me will flow, as the Scripture said, rivers of living water."

mnt@John:7:39 @ Now he said this concerning the Spirit whom those who believed in him should receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

mnt@John:7:40 @ Some of the crowd who had been listening to these discourses began to say, "Without a doubt this man is a Prophet."

mnt@John:7:41 @ Other said, "He is the Christ." But others were saying. "Surely the Christ is not to come out of Galilee, is he?

mnt@John:7:42 @ "Does not the Scripture say that the Christ is coming of the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, Davids town?"

mnt@John:7:43 @ So a division arose in the crowd concerning him. Some of them wished to apprehend him, but no one laid hands on him.

mnt@John:7:44 @ Then the officers returned to the chief priest and Pharisees,

mnt@John:7:45 @ and they asked them, "Why have you not brought him?"

mnt@John:7:46 @ The officers answered, "Never yet did a man speak like this man."

mnt@John:7:47 @ "Surely you have not been led astray, have you? answered the Pharisees.

mnt@John:7:48 @ "Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?

mnt@John:7:49 @ "As for this mob who do not understand the Law, they are accursed!"

mnt@John:7:50 @ Nicodemus, one of their number, he who had formerly visited Jesus, said to them,

mnt@John:7:51 @ "Our law does not condemn the accused, does it, before hearing his defense, and finding out what he is doing?"

mnt@John:7:52 @ In answer they said to him. "You are not from Galilee, are you? Search for yourself, and see that from Galilee arises no prophet."

mnt@John:7:53 @ Then they departed each to his own house.

mnt@John:8:1 @ Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

mnt@John:8:2 @ At dawn, however, he came back to the Temple, where the people came to him in crowds. He had taken his seat and was teaching them,

mnt@John:8:3 @ when the Scribes and Pharisees had brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They made her stand in the middle of the court, and said to him.

mnt@John:8:4 @ "Rabbi, this woman has been found in the very act of adultery.

mnt@John:8:5 @ "Now Moses, in the Law, has commanded us to stone such creatures. But you, what do you say?"

mnt@John:8:6 @ (This they said to tempt him, so that they could bring a charge against him.)

mnt@John:8:7 @ But Jesus stooped down, and began to write on the ground with his finger. When they continued to question him, he raised himself and said to them, "Let the innocent man among you be the first to throw the stone at her."

mnt@John:8:8 @ Then he stooped down again, and again began to write on the ground.

mnt@John:8:9 @ When they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the eldest. And Jesus was left behind alone - and the woman in the middle of the court.

mnt@John:8:10 @ Then Jesus raised himself up and said to her. "Woman, where are they? Has no man condemn you,"

mnt@John:8:11 @ "No one, Sir," she answered. "Neither do I condemned you," said Jesus. "Go, and never sin again."

mnt@John:8:12 @ Once more Jesus addressed them. "I am the light of the world," he said; "He who follows me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the Light of life."

mnt@John:8:13 @ Then said the Pharisees to him. "You are bearing testimony to yourself; your testimony is not true."

mnt@John:8:14 @ In reply Jesus said to them. "Even if I do bear testimony to concerning myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I have come from, or where I am going.

mnt@John:8:15 @ "For you are judging according to the flesh. I am judging no man.

mnt@John:8:16 @ "Though even if I do judge, my judgment is trustworthy, because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.

mnt@John:8:17 @ "And in your Law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.

mnt@John:8:18 @ "I am one who gives testimony concerning myself, and the Father who sent me gives testimony concerning me."

mnt@John:8:19 @ "Where is your Father?" they asked him. "You have neither known me nor my Father," answered Jesus. "If you had known me, you would have known my father also."

mnt@John:8:20 @ He said these words in the Treasury, while he was teaching in the Temple; yet no one arrested him, because his hour was not yet come.

mnt@John:8:21 @ Then again he said them. "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I am going, you cannot come."

mnt@John:8:22 @ Then the Jews said. "He will not kill himself, will he? Is that why he says, Where I am going you cannot come?"

mnt@John:8:23 @ And he said to them. "You are from below. I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.

mnt@John:8:25 @ "Who are you?" then they asked him. "What I am telling you from the beginning," Jesus answered.

mnt@John:8:26 @ "I have many things to say and to judge concerning you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world only those things which I have heard from him."

mnt@John:8:27 @ They did not understand that he meant the Father,

mnt@John:8:28 @ so Jesus added. "When you lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am He; and that I do nothing on my own authority, but that I speak just as the Father has taught me,

mnt@John:8:29 @ "and he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I do always the things that please him."

mnt@John:8:30 @ When he spoke in this way, many of the Jews believed in him.

mnt@John:8:31 @ So Jesus spoke to the Jews that believed him, saying. "If you abide in my teaching, you are my true disciples;

mnt@John:8:32 @ "and you shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

mnt@John:8:33 @ "We are descendants of Abraham," they replied, "and have never been in slavery to any man. What do you mean by saying, You shall become free?"

mnt@John:8:35 @ "Now the slave does not remain permanently in the household, but the son does remain.

mnt@John:8:36 @ "So then, if the Son shall set you free, you will be free indeed.

mnt@John:8:38 @ "I am declaring what I have seen with the Father, and you are acting as you have learned from your father."

mnt@John:8:39 @ "Abraham is our father," they answered. "If you are indeed Abrahams children," said Jesus "do the deeds of Abraham.

mnt@John:8:40 @ "But now you are seeking to kill me - a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do that.

mnt@John:8:41 @ "You are doing the deeds of your father." "We were not born of adultery," they said; "we have one Father, God."

mnt@John:8:42 @ Jesus said to them. "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded forth and am now come from God. I did not come on my own authority, but God himself sent me.

mnt@John:8:44 @ "You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do what your father desires. He was a man-slayer from the very beginning; and he has no standing place in the truth, because truth is not in him. Whenever he utters a lie, he speaks from his nature, for he is a liar and the father of lying.

mnt@John:8:45 @ "But as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that you do not believe me.

mnt@John:8:46 @ "Which one of you convicts me of sin? Why then, if I am speaking the truth, do you not believe me?

mnt@John:8:48 @ In reply the Jews said to him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan, and you also have a demon?"

mnt@John:8:49 @ "I do not have a demon," said Jesus, "but I am honoring my Father, and you are dishonoring me.

mnt@John:8:50 @ "Yet I am not seeking my own honor. There is One who is seeking it, and He is judge.

mnt@John:8:52 @ "Now we know that you have a demon," exclaimed the Jews. Abraham died, and so did the prophets; and yet you say, If any man obeys my teaching he shall never taste death.

mnt@John:8:53 @ "You are not greater than our father Abraham, are you? And he died, and the prophets died. Who are you making yourself out to be?"

mnt@John:8:54 @ "If I glorify myself." said Jesus, "my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifies me, and you say, He is our God.

mnt@John:8:56 @ "Your father Abraham rejoiced that he should see my day; and he saw it and was glad."

mnt@John:8:57 @ "You are not yet fifty years old," said the Jews to him, "and you have seen Abraham?"

mnt@John:8:59 @ Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the Temple.

mnt@John:9:3 @ "Neither he nor his parents sinned." replied Jesus; "it happened that the works of God might be made manifest in him.

mnt@John:9:4 @ "I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no man can work.

mnt@John:9:5 @ "While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world."

mnt@John:9:6 @ When he had thus spoken he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and smeared the clay on the mans eyes.

mnt@John:9:7 @ Then he said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (a word which means "sent"). So the man went and washed his eyes, and came back seeing.

mnt@John:9:8 @ Upon this the neighbors and those who used to know him by sight as a beggar, began asking, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"

mnt@John:9:9 @ Some said, "It is he." Others said, "No, but he looks like him." "I am the man," he said.

mnt@John:9:10 @ So they asked him, "How then were your eyes opened?"

mnt@John:9:11 @ He answered. "The man who is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash;so I went and washed and received my sight."

mnt@John:9:12 @ "Where is he?" they asked. "I do not know," answered the man.

mnt@John:9:13 @ Then they brought the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.

mnt@John:9:14 @ Now it was on the Sabbath that Jesus had made clay and opened his eyes;

mnt@John:9:15 @ so the Pharisees again began to ask him questions about how he had regained his sight; and he said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and now I see."

mnt@John:9:16 @ Then some of the Pharisees began to say, "This man in not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?"

mnt@John:9:17 @ So there was a difference of opinion among them. Accordingly they said to the blind man, "What have you to say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" "He is a prophet," he answered.

mnt@John:9:18 @ The Jews, however, did not believe about him that he was blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man whose sight had been restored,

mnt@John:9:19 @ and questioned them. "Is this your son," they said, "who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"

mnt@John:9:20 @ Then in reply his parents said. "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

mnt@John:9:22 @ This his parents said because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one should confess that he was the Christ, he should be expelled from the synagogue.

mnt@John:9:24 @ So the Jews a second time summoned the man who had been blind, and said to him.

mnt@John:9:25 @ "Give glory to God! we know that this man is a sinner." Upon this the blind man answered. "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that once I was blind, and know I can see."

mnt@John:9:26 @ "What was it he did to you?" they asked him; "How did he open your eyes?"

mnt@John:9:28 @ Then they stormed at him. "You are his disciple. We are Moses disciples.

mnt@John:9:30 @ "This is truly astonishing," said the man in reply, "that you do not know where he is from, and yet he has opened my eyes.

mnt@John:9:32 @ "Since the beginning of the world such a thing as opening the eyes of one who was born blind was never heard of.

mnt@John:9:34 @ They answered, "You were wholly born in sins, and do you teach us?" Then they cast him out.

mnt@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of man?"

mnt@John:9:38 @ "I do believe, Sir," said the man, and he prostrated himself at his feet. And Jesus said,

mnt@John:9:39 @ "For judgment am I come into the world, to make the sightless see, and to make the seeing blind."

mnt@John:9:40 @ Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and asked, "We are not blind, are we?"

mnt@John:9:41 @ "If you were blind," Jesus answered them, "you would have no sin. But now you are declaring, We see;so your sin remains.

mnt@John:10:1 @ "In solemn truth I tell you that whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, that man is a thief and a robber;

mnt@John:10:18 @ "No man is taking it away from me. I am laying it down on my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."

mnt@John:10:19 @ The Jews were again divided over these words.

mnt@John:10:20 @ Many of them kept saying. "He has a demon and is mad! Why do you listen to him?"

mnt@John:10:21 @ Others were saying. "These are not the words of one demon-possessed. Can a demoniac open the eyes of the blind?"

mnt@John:10:22 @ Then came the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.

mnt@John:10:23 @ It was winter, and Jesus used to walk in the Temple, in Solomons Portico.

mnt@John:10:24 @ Then all the Jews encircled him and kept asking him. "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."

mnt@John:10:30 @ "I and my Father are one."

mnt@John:10:31 @ The Jews again took stones with which to stone him. Jesus said to them.

mnt@John:10:32 @ "I have shown you many good deeds from my Father. For which of these are you going to stone me?"

mnt@John:10:33 @ "We are not going to stone you for a good deed," answered the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, are making yourself God."

mnt@John:10:35 @ "If those to whom the word of God came are called gods (and the Scripture cannot be annulled),

mnt@John:10:40 @ and went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained.

mnt@John:10:42 @ And many believed on him there.

mnt@John:11:1 @ Now a man named Lazarus was ill. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha

mnt@John:11:2 @ - it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.

mnt@John:11:3 @ So the sisters sent to him, saying. "Master, see who you hold dear is ill."

mnt@John:11:4 @ When Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that through it the Son of God may be glorified."

mnt@John:11:7 @ he still remained where he was for two days; then after that he said to his disciples, "Let us go back again to Judea."

mnt@John:11:8 @ "Rabbi," answered his disciples, "it was but just now that the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"

mnt@John:11:9 @ Jesus replied. "Are there not twelve hours in the daytime? If any one walks in the daytime he does not stumble, because he beholds the light of this world;

mnt@John:11:10 @ but if any one walks during the night he does stumble, because the light is not in him."

mnt@John:11:11 @ This he said, then told them, "Lazarus, our friend, has fallen asleep, but I am going to wake him."

mnt@John:11:12 @ "Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well," replied the disciples.

mnt@John:11:13 @ Now Jesus had been speaking concerning his death, but they thought that he was talking about natural sleep.

mnt@John:11:14 @ So then he told them plainly.

mnt@John:11:15 @ "Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. Come, let us go to him."

mnt@John:11:16 @ Upon this Thomas, who was called "The Twin," said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too, that we may die with him."

mnt@John:11:17 @ so when Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been four days in the tomb.

mnt@John:11:19 @ so a number of the Jews had gone to Martha and Mary to sympathize with them concerning their brother.

mnt@John:11:20 @ So when Martha learned that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained sitting in the house.

mnt@John:11:21 @ Then Martha said to Jesus. "Master, had you been here my brother would not have died;

mnt@John:11:25 @ "I am the resurrection and the life, "said Jesus. "He who believes in me, even if he has died, shall live.

mnt@John:11:27 @ "Yes, Master," she answered, "I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

mnt@John:11:28 @ With these words she went away to call her sister Mary, saying privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you."

mnt@John:11:30 @ Jesus had not yet arrived in the village, but was still at the place where Martha met him.

mnt@John:11:31 @ Then the Jews who were in the house trying to console her, when they saw that Mary rose quickly and went out, followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there.

mnt@John:11:32 @ When Mary came to the place where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master had you been here, my brother would not have died."

mnt@John:11:33 @ Then when Jesus saw her sobbing, and the Jews likewise who accompanied her, sobbing, he shuddered with indignation in his spirit, and was deeply agitated.

mnt@John:11:34 @ "Where have you laid him?" he said. "Master, come and see," they answered.

mnt@John:11:36 @ "See how he loved him," said the Jews. But some of them said,

mnt@John:11:37 @ "Could not this man, who has opened the eyes of the blind man, have prevented this man also from dying?"

mnt@John:11:38 @ Jesus therefore, again shuddering in himself with indignation, came to the tomb, which was a cave with a stone lying upon it.

mnt@John:11:39 @ "Roll away the stone," said Jesus. "Master," said Martha, the sister of the dead man "he is offensive by this time, for he has been four days in the tomb."

mnt@John:11:40 @ Jesus answered her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you should see the glory of God?"

mnt@John:11:41 @ Then they rolled the stone away; and Jesus lifted up his eyes and said.

mnt@John:11:42 @ "Father, I thank thee that thou hast listened to me. And I knew that thou art ever listening to me, but for the sake of the crowd who are standing about, I said it, in order that they may believe that thou hast sent me."

mnt@John:11:44 @ Out came the dead man, wrapped hand and foot with grave-clothes, and his face bound up in a napkin. Jesus said to them, "Untie him, and let him go."

mnt@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews, therefore, who had come with Mary, and had seen what he did, believed on him;

mnt@John:11:46 @ but some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

mnt@John:11:47 @ So the chief priests and Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.

mnt@John:11:48 @ "What are we going to do?" they said, "now that this man is performing many signs?" If we leave him alone, this way, every one will believe on him, and the Romans will come and rob us of both our sacred place and of our people."

mnt@John:11:49 @ But one of their number, Caiaphas by name, who was high priest that year, said to them,

mnt@John:11:50 @ "You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, rather than the whole nation be destroyed."

mnt@John:11:51 @ now he did not say this of his own accord; but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die in behalf of the nation,

mnt@John:11:52 @ and not in behalf of the nation alone, but in order that he might gather into one the widely scattered children of God.

mnt@John:11:53 @ So from that day they plotted to kill him.

mnt@John:11:54 @ Jesus therefore no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went away from there into the region near the desert to a town called Ephraim,

mnt@John:11:55 @ and there remained with his disciples. Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem for purification before the Passover.

mnt@John:11:56 @ So they kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another, as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think - that he will not come to the feast at all?"

mnt@John:11:57 @ Now the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that if any one knew where he was. he should give information, so that they might arrest him.

mnt@John:12:1 @ So then Jesus came six days before the Passover, to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

mnt@John:12:2 @ So they gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served it; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined with him at table.

mnt@John:12:3 @ Then Mary took a pound of pure spikenard, very costly, and poured it over his feet, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

mnt@John:12:4 @ Then said Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was about to betray him,

mnt@John:12:5 @ "Why was not this perfume sold for fifty dollars, and the proceeds given to the poor?"

mnt@John:12:6 @ This he said not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and, carrying the purse,

mnt@John:12:7 @ used to purloin what was put in it. Then said Jesus. "Let her alone. Against the day of my burial has she kept this;

mnt@John:12:8 @ for the poor you have with you always, but me you have not always."

mnt@John:12:9 @ When the great mass of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, they came not alone because of Jesus, but to see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

mnt@John:12:10 @ And the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too,

mnt@John:12:11 @ because it was on his account that many of the Jews were leaving them, and beginning to believe on Jesus.

mnt@John:12:12 @ Next day the big crowd who had come up for the Passover heard that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem,

mnt@John:12:13 @ and taking branches from the palm trees went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord. Even Israels King!"

mnt@John:12:16 @ His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus had been glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written concerning him, and what they had done to him.

mnt@John:12:17 @ Meanwhile the crowd which was with him when he summoned Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead, kept witnessing.

mnt@John:12:18 @ For this reason, too, the crowd came to meet him, because they had heard about this sign which he had done.

mnt@John:12:19 @ Then the Pharisees said among themselves. "You see! You can do nothing! Look! The world is gone after him!"

mnt@John:12:20 @ Now there were certain Greeks among those who had come up to worship during the Passover feast;

mnt@John:12:21 @ these came to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. "Sir," they said, "we want to see Jesus."

mnt@John:12:23 @ "The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.

mnt@John:12:37 @ With these words Jesus went away and hid himself from them. But although he had wrought such signs in their presence, still they did not believe in him.

mnt@John:12:38 @ So the words spoken by Isaiah, the prophet, were fulfilled. Lord, who hath believed our message, And to whom hath the Arm of the Lord been revealed?

mnt@John:12:39 @ This was why they could not believe, because Isaiah said again.

mnt@John:12:40 @ He hath blinded their eyes and make their hearts hard, Lest they should see with their eyes, perceive with their minds, And should turn, and I should heal them.

mnt@John:12:41 @ Isaiah uttered these words because he saw his glory, and he spoke of him.

mnt@John:12:42 @ Nevertheless, even among the rulers many believed on him, but did not confess in on account of the Pharisees, for fear lest they be put out of the Synagogue.

mnt@John:12:43 @ For they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.

mnt@John:13:2 @ So while supper was proceeding, and the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,

mnt@John:13:3 @ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given everything into his hands, and that he was come from God,

mnt@John:13:5 @ Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which he had girded himself.

mnt@John:13:10 @ Jesus said. "He who has bathed needs only to have his feet washed, and he is altogether clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."

mnt@John:13:11 @ (For he knew who should betray him, for that reason he said that they were not every one of them clean.)

mnt@John:13:12 @ So after he had washed their feet, and had put on his upper garments again, and taken his place, he said to them.

mnt@John:13:23 @ There was reclining upon Jesus breast one of the disciples whom he loved.

mnt@John:13:27 @ So when he had dipped the bread, he took it and gave it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon. And after he had received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. "What you do, do quickly," said Jesus.

mnt@John:13:28 @ Now no one at the table understood why he said this to him,

mnt@John:13:29 @ for some were thinking, as Judas kept the purse, that Jesus meant to tell him, "Buy the things that we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.

mnt@John:18:11 @ (The slaves name was Malchus.) Then Jesus said to Peter. "Put up your sword in its sheath. the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?"

mnt@John:18:12 @ So the troops and their commandant and the Jewish police took Jesus, and bound him,

mnt@John:18:13 @ and led him to Annas first. (For Annas was the Father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the high priest that year -

mnt@John:18:14 @ the Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was for their advantage that one man should die for the people.)

mnt@John:18:15 @ Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple who was known to the high priest, and they went in with Jesus into the court of the high priests palace.

mnt@John:18:16 @ But Peter took his stand outside, near the door. So the other disciple who was known to the high priest came out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought Peter in.

mnt@John:18:17 @ The doorkeeper (a maid servant) then said to Peter, "Are not you also one of this mans disciples?" "No I am not," he answered.

mnt@John:18:19 @ Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

mnt@John:18:20 @ Jesus answered him. "I have spoken to all the world openly. I always taught in a synagogue and in the temple, places where all the Jews are wont to assemble, and in secret I have spoken nothing.

mnt@John:18:26 @ One of the slaves of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did not I myself see you with him in the garden."

mnt@John:18:28 @ From the house of Caiaphas they took Jesus to the Praetorium, and it was dawn. They themselves would not enter the Praetorium, in order that they might not be ceremonially defiled, but might be able to eat the Passover.

mnt@John:18:29 @ So Pilate came outside to them and asked, "What charge do you bring against this man?"

mnt@John:18:30 @ In reply they said, "If he had not been a criminal, we should not have handed him over you."

mnt@John:18:32 @ The Jews answered him, "We are not allowed to put anyone to death" (that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled in which he predicted the kind of death he was to die).

mnt@John:18:34 @ Jesus answered, "Are you saying this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?"

mnt@John:18:35 @ "I am not a Jew, am I?" replied Pilate; "It is your own nation and the high priests who have handed you over to me. What have you done?"

mnt@John:18:36 @ Jesus answered him. "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants have fought hard that I should not be handed the Jews; but in reality my kingdom is not of such origins."

mnt@John:18:37 @ "You are a king, then? You!" said Pilate. "You say truly that I am a king." answered Jesus, "for this purpose I was born, and to this end came I into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Every man who is of the truth listens to my voice."

mnt@John:18:38 @ Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" As he said this, he went outside again to the Jews and said to them.

mnt@John:18:39 @ "I find no crime in this man. Now it is a custom of yours that I release one prisoner to you at the time of the Passover feast. Do you wish me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

mnt@John:18:40 @ Then they all shouted again. "No, not him! Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

mnt@John:19:2 @ and the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, placed it on his head, and threw a purple cloak about him, and kept marching up to him,

mnt@John:19:3 @ saying, "Hail! King of the Jews!" They also gave him blow after blow with their hands.

mnt@John:19:4 @ Pilate again came forth and said to the people, "See, I am going to bring his out to you, that you may clearly know that I find no crime in him,"

mnt@John:19:5 @ Then as Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, "BEHOLD, THE MAN!"

mnt@John:19:6 @ So when the chief priests and the police saw him, they shouted. "Crucify him! Crucify him!" "Take him yourselves and crucify him," said Pilate, "for I find no crime in him."

mnt@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself out to be Gods Son,"

mnt@John:19:8 @ Now when Pilate heard these words he was more alarmed than ever,

mnt@John:19:9 @ and entering the Praetorium again, he said to Jesus, "What is your origin?"

mnt@John:19:11 @ "You would have no power over me," answered Jesus, "unless it had been given you from above. For this reason he who has betrayed me to you has the greater sin."

mnt@John:19:12 @ After that Pilate began to seek to release him, but the Jews shouted out. "If you release this man you are no friend of the Emperor. Any man who makes himself out to be king is a rebel against the Emperor."

mnt@John:19:13 @ On hearing what they said, Pilate brought Jesus out and made him sit on the judges seat in a place called the Mosaic Pavement (the Hebrew name is Gabbatha).

mnt@John:19:14 @ And it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about six oclock in the morning. Then he said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"

mnt@John:19:15 @ Then they shouted. "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" "Crucify your King?" said Pilate. The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"

mnt@John:19:16 @ So then he gave him over to them to be crucified.

mnt@John:19:17 @ So they took Jesus, who went forth bearing his own cross, to a place called The Place of a Skull - in the Hebrew tongue, Golgotha.

mnt@John:19:18 @ There they crucified him; and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.

mnt@John:19:19 @ And Pilate moreover wrote an inscription and placed it above the cross. What he wrote was, "JESUS, THE NAZARENE, KING OF THE JEWS"

mnt@John:19:20 @ This inscription was read by many of the Jews, because the place where they crucified Jesus was near the city, and the inscription was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

mnt@John:19:21 @ So the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write King of the Jews, but He said, I am King of the Jews."

mnt@John:19:23 @ After the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, to each soldier a part, and the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom;

mnt@John:19:24 @ so the soldiers said one to another. "Let us not tear it. Let us draw lots, to see whose it shall be" - that the Scripture might be fulfilled. They divided my garments among them, For my raiment did they cast lots. This was what the soldiers did.

mnt@John:19:25 @ Now there stood near the cross of Jesus, his mother and his mothers sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

mnt@John:19:26 @ When Jesus saw his mother, and standing near her the disciple whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman behold your son."

mnt@John:19:27 @ Then he said to the disciple, "Behold your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her to his home.

mnt@John:19:28 @ After that, when Jesus knew that everything was now accomplished, he said in fulfilment of the words of Scripture, "I am thirsty."

mnt@John:19:29 @ There was a jar full of vinegar standing there; and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon a stalk of hyssop, and put it to his lips.

mnt@John:19:30 @ Then after he had taken the vinegar, Jesus said, "IT IS FINISHED!" And bowing his head, he yielded up his spirit.

mnt@John:19:31 @ It was Preparation Day, so in order to prevent the bodies hanging on the cross during the Sabbath (for the Sabbath was a great day) the Jews begged Pilate to have the legs broken, and the bodies taken away.

mnt@John:19:32 @ So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who had been crucified with him.

mnt@John:19:33 @ But upon coming to Jesus they saw that he was already dead, and did not break his legs.

mnt@John:19:34 @ One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a lance, and immediately blood and water flowed out.

mnt@John:19:35 @ And he who saw it has borne testimony, and his testimony is trustworthy, and he knows that he is telling the truth in order that you may believe.

mnt@John:19:36 @ For this happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Not one of his bones shall be broken.

mnt@John:19:37 @ And again another Scripture says, They shall look on him whom they have pierced.

mnt@John:19:38 @ After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but in secret because of fear of the Jews, asked Pilate for permission to take the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took the body.

mnt@John:19:39 @ Nicodemus also (the one who visited Jesus by night, at first) came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing nearly a hundred pounds.

mnt@John:19:40 @ So they took the body of Jesus and wound it in linen with the spices, according to the Jewish mode of burial.

mnt@John:19:41 @ There was a garden near the place where Jesus had been crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.

mnt@John:19:42 @ Here, because of its being Preparation Day, and as the tomb was near by, they placed Jesus.

mnt@John:20:1 @ On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, while it was yet dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and discovered that the stone had been removed from the tomb.

mnt@John:20:2 @ So she came running to Simon Peter and that other disciple whom Jesus loved, saying, "They have taken the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him!"

mnt@John:20:3 @ So Peter and the other disciples set out at once to go to the tomb.

mnt@John:20:4 @ They both began to run; and the other disciple ran faster than Peter, and came first to the tomb.

mnt@John:20:5 @ Stooping down he glanced in and saw the linen wrapping lying on the ground; but he did not go in.

mnt@John:20:6 @ Then Peter also came following him, and he went inside the tomb; and he gazed at the linen wrapping as they lay,

mnt@John:20:7 @ and the napkin which had been about his head not lying with the wrappings, but rolled up in its own place.

mnt@John:20:8 @ Then the other disciple also who arrived first at the tomb went inside, and he perceived and believed.

mnt@John:20:9 @ For not yet had they understood the Scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

mnt@John:20:10 @ Then the disciples went back again to their home.

mnt@John:20:11 @ Meanwhile, outside, Mary stood sobbing near the tomb. Still sobbing she stooped and looked into the tomb,

mnt@John:20:12 @ and gazed at two angels in glistening white sitting, one at the head the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

mnt@John:20:13 @ They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She answered, "Because they have taken away my Master, and I do not know where they have laid him."

mnt@John:20:14 @ When she had said this she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but did not know that it was Jesus.

mnt@John:20:15 @ Jesus said to her. "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking? She, supposing that he was the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have borne him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away, myself."

mnt@John:20:17 @ "Do not cling to me," said Jesus, "for I am not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, "I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."

mnt@John:20:18 @ Away went Mary Magdalene to the disciples with the tidings, "I have seen the Master!" and that he said these things to her.

mnt@John:20:19 @ On the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, although the doors of the room where the disciples gathered had been locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came, and there he stood among them, saying. "Peace to you!"

mnt@John:20:20 @ As he said this he showed them his hands and his side. Then were the disciple glad, when they saw the Lord.

mnt@John:20:21 @ Then Jesus said to them again. "Peace to you. As my Father has sent me forth, I also now am sending you."

mnt@John:20:22 @ When he had said this he breathed upon them and said.

mnt@John:20:23 @ "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you remit any ones sins, they are remitted; if you retain them they are retained."

mnt@John:20:24 @ But Thomas, one of the Twelve, who was called "The Twin." was not with them when Jesus came.

mnt@John:20:25 @ Accordingly the other disciples kept telling him, "We have seen the Lord." But he told them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and thrust my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe it."

mnt@John:20:26 @ A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood there among and said. "Peace to you!"

mnt@John:20:27 @ Then to Thomas he said. "Place your finger here, and see my hands; and place your hand here, and thrust it into my side, and become not unbelieving, but believing."

mnt@John:20:30 @ There were then many other signs which Jesus performed in the presence of his disciples, which have not been written in this book;

mnt@John:20:31 @ but these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

mnt@John:21:1 @ After this Jesus showed himself again to his disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. He showed himself as follows.

mnt@John:21:2 @ There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, called "The Twin," and Nathanael, from Cana of Galilee, and the two sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

mnt@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They answered him, "And we are going with you." So they went out and got into the boat, and throughout the night they caught nothing.

mnt@John:21:4 @ But when day was dawning Jesus stood on the beach. The disciples, however, did not recognize that it was Jesus.

mnt@John:21:5 @ So Jesus said to them, "Lads, you havent any fish, have you?" They answered him, "No."

mnt@John:21:6 @ And he said to them, "Cast your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find." So they cast it, and now they could not haul it in for the multitude of fishes.

mnt@John:21:7 @ Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" On hearing that it was the Lord, Simon Peter girt his fishers coat about him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the water.

mnt@John:21:8 @ The rest of the disciples came in the boat, for they were not far from shore - only about a hundred yards - dragging in the net full of fish.

mnt@John:21:9 @ When they got to the shore they beheld a charcoal fire ready laid, with fish on it, and some bread.

mnt@John:21:10 @ "Bring some of the fish you have just caught," Jesus told them.

mnt@John:21:11 @ So Simon Peter went and dragged the net to shore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; but for all this number the net was not torn.

mnt@John:21:12 @ "Come and have breakfast," said Jesus to them. Not one of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" Knowing that it was the Lord.

mnt@John:21:13 @ Jesus went and took bread and gave it to them, and the fish also.

mnt@John:21:14 @ This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after he had risen from among the dead.

mnt@John:21:15 @ When they were through breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me." he answered. Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs."

mnt@John:21:17 @ The third time Jesus asked him, "Am I really dear to you?" Peter was grieved because the third time he asked, "Am I really dear to you?" and he answered, "Master, you know all things, you know that you are dear to me."

mnt@John:21:20 @ Peter turned around and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following - he who at the supper leaned back upon his breast and said, "Lord, who is to betray you?"

mnt@John:21:23 @ Accordingly the report spread among the brothers that this disciple should not die; but Jesus did not say that he was not to die, but said, "If I choose that he remain until I come, what is that to you?"

mnt@John:21:24 @ It is this disciple who bears testimony to these facts and who recorded them; and we know that his testimony is true.

mnt@John:21:25 @ But there are also many other things which Jesus did; if every one of them were to be recorded in detail I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would have to be written.

mnt@Acts:1:1 @ My first account, O Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus began doing and teaching from the beginning down to the day when,
