bwe@Luke:6:48 @ He is like a man who built a house. He dug down deep in the ground and made it stand on a rock. The water in the river came up high. The water beat hard against the house. But the house did not move, because it was built on a rock.

I thank you because you have hidden these things from people who are wise and know many things. But you have shown them to people who are like children. Yes, Father. That was the way you wanted it.
bwe@Luke:11:8 @ I tell you this. Maybe he will not give him anything because he is his friend. But he will get up and give him what he needs because he keeps on asking for it.
bwe@Luke:13:2 @ Jesus answered, Do you think it was because they were worse than all the other people in Galilee?
bwe@Luke:13:14 @ The ruler of the meeting house was angry because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day. He said to the people, There are six days to work. You should come to be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath day.

bwe@Luke:19:17 @ The ruler said, "You have done well. You are a good servant. You will rule over ten cities because you have done well with a very small thing."
bwe@Luke:19:44 @ They will break you down to the ground. They will kill the people within you. They will not leave one stone of your houses on top of another. That will happen because you did not know the time when God was ready to help you.
bwe@Luke:20:20 @ So they watched for a chance to catch him. And they sent men to spy on him. These men acted as if they were good men. They did this because they wanted to catch him in something that he said. They wanted to give him over to the ruler who would judge and punish him.

bwe@John:2:6 @ Six very large water pots made of stone were standing there. The pots were there because the Jews had a certain law about washing themselves.
bwe@John:2:23 @ Many people believed in Jesus name when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast. They believed in him because they saw the big works he did.

bwe@John:4:38 @ Many of the people of the town believed in Jesus because of what the woman told them. She said, He told me everything I have done.
bwe@John:4:40 @ Many more people believed in Jesus because of his own word.
bwe@John:4:41 @ They said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of what you told us, but because of what he himself has told us. We know it is true. This is the Saviour of the world.

bwe@John:6:2 @ Many people followed him because they saw the big works he had done in healing the sick people.
bwe@John:6:26 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. You do not want me because you saw the big works I did, but you want me because you ate all the bread you wanted.
bwe@John:6:57 @ My Father is living. He sent me. I have my life from him. In the same way, the person who eats of me will live because of me.
bwe@John:7:1 @ After this, Jesus travelled around in Galilee. He would not travel around in Judea because the leaders of the Jews wanted to kill him.
bwe@John:7:7 @ The people of the world cannot hate you. But they hate me because I say what they do is wrong.
bwe@John:7:22 @ Moses gave you the law of circumcision. You obey the law, not because it came from Moses, but because it came from the fathers long ago. You circumcise a baby boy on the Sabbath day.
bwe@John:7:23 @ You do it on the Sabbath day so that you will not break the law of Moses. If you do that, then why are you angry with me because I healed a man on the Sabbath day?
bwe@John:7:29 @ I know him because I came from him. He sent me.

bwe@John:8:37 @ I know that you come from Abraham. But you want to kill me because you do not like what I tell you.
bwe@John:8:40 @ But you want to kill me because I told you the truth which I learned from God. Abraham did not do that.
bwe@John:8:42 @ Jesus said to them, If God were your Father you would love me, because I have come from God. I did not come by my own power. God sent me.

bwe@John:8:45 @ You do not believe me because I tell you what is true.
bwe@John:9:2 @ His disciples asked Jesus, Master, was this man born blind because of the wrong things he did, or was it the wrong things his parents did?

bwe@John:10:4 @ When all his own sheep are out of the house, he goes ahead of them. The sheep come behind him because they know his voice.
bwe@John:10:5 @ They will not go after a stranger. They will run away from him because they do not know the voice of strangers.
bwe@John:10:13 @ He does that because he is only working for pay and does not care what happens to the sheep.
bwe@John:10:17 @ My Father loves me because I am willing to die. But when I die, I will live again.

bwe@John:11:41 @ So they pushed the stone away from the grave. Jesus looked up and said, Father, I thank you because you have heard me.
bwe@John:12:6 @ Judas did not say this because he cared for poor people. But he used to steal. He carried the disciples money bag and he used to take money out of the bag for himself.
bwe@John:12:9 @ Many of the Jews knew that Jesus was at Bethany. So they came because Jesus was there. But they also came to see Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from death.

bwe@John:14:17 @ He will send you the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive the true Spirit because it does not see or know him. You know him because he is with you and will be in you.

bwe@John:15:27 @ You also will talk about me because you have been with me from the time I began my work.
bwe@John:16:3 @ They will do these things because they do not know my Father nor me.
bwe@John:16:4 @ I have told you all these things now. Then when that time comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things in the beginning because I myself was with you.
bwe@John:16:6 @ Your hearts are very sad because I have told you these things.
bwe@John:16:10 @ He will show what really is right, because I am going to my Father and you will not see me any more.
bwe@John:16:11 @ He will show them how to judge right, because the ruler of this world himself will be judged.
bwe@John:16:16 @ Very soon now, you will not see me. A little while after that, you will see me again, because I go to my Father.
bwe@John:16:17 @ Some of the disciples talked among themselves and said, He says, "Very soon now, you will not see me. A little while after that, you will see me." And he says, "Because I go to my Father." What does he mean by "a little while"?
bwe@John:16:21 @ Any woman is sad just before her baby is born. She has much pain because the time has come for the baby to be born. But as soon as the baby is born, she forgets the pain she had. She is very glad because a person has been born into the world.

bwe@John:16:32 @ Listen, the time is coming. No, the time is here when you will run away. Every man will go to his own home. You will leave me on my own. And yet I am not alone, because my Father is with me.
bwe@John:17:9 @ It is these men I am asking you for. I am not asking you for the people of the world. But I am asking for those you gave me, because they belong to you.
bwe@John:17:14 @ I have told them what you said. The world has hated them because they do not belong to the world. So also, I do not belong to the world.
bwe@John:17:24 @ Father, I want the people that you have given me to be with me. Then they will see that you made me great, because you loved me before you made the world.
bwe@John:18:34 @ Jesus answered, Do you ask me because you yourself think I am, or do you ask me because others said I am?
bwe@John:19:7 @ The leaders of the Jews answered him, We have a law. That law says he should die, because he calls himself the Son of God. When Pilate heard what they said, he was very much afraid.
bwe@John:19:31 @ It was the day before the Sabbath day. The Jewish leaders did not want the bodies to stay on the cross on the Sabbath day because it was a big day. So they begged Pilate to break the legs of those who had been nailed to crosses. Then they could be taken away.
bwe@John:19:38 @ A man named Joseph, from the town of Arimathea, was a disciple of Jesus. But he did not say so because he was afraid of the leaders of the Jews. After all this had happened, he went to Pilate. He asked him to let him take Jesus body away. Pilate let him. So he came and took his body.
bwe@John:19:42 @ They laid Jesus body there because it was the day before the Sabbath day, and the grave was near.
bwe@John:20:17 @ Jesus said to her, Do not hold me, because I have not yet gone up to my Father. But go to my brothers and tell them that I am going up to my Father. He is your Father also. I am going up to my God. He is your God also.
bwe@John:20:19 @ It was the first day of the week. In the evening the disciples were in a house together. The doors were shut because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Jesus came and stood there with them. He said to them, Peace to you!
bwe@John:21:17 @ Then he asked Peter the third time, Simon son of John, do you like me? Peter was sad because of the way Jesus asked him the third time. So he answered him, Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you as a close friend Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep.
bwe@Acts:2:26 @ That made my heart very happy. It made my tongue sing for joy. And even my body also will rest in peace because you will not leave my body in the grave. You will not let your Holy One die and be spoiled.
bwe@Acts:3:17 @ My brothers, I know that you and your rulers killed Jesus because you did not understand what you were doing.
bwe@Acts:4:2 @ They were angry at Peter and John because they taught the people. They were angry because they told them that Jesus was brought back from death.
bwe@Acts:4:3 @ They caught them and put them in prison until the next day, because it was already evening.
bwe@Acts:4:8 @ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and leaders of Israel, have you brought us to court today because of the good thing that was done to the lame man? Do you want to find out how he was healed?
bwe@Acts:4:21 @ So the high priest and those with him told them again. Then they let them go. They could not punish them because of the people. They all praised God for what had been done.
bwe@Acts:5:26 @ Then the captain went with the men and brought the apostles quietly. They did not bring them by force because they were afraid the people would kill them with stones.

bwe@Acts:8:2 @ Good men buried Stephen. They were very sad because he died.
bwe@Acts:8:6 @ And all the people together listened to what Philip said because they heard and saw the big works which he did.
bwe@Acts:8:21 @ You have no part in this matter. You cannot have any of this because God sees that your heart is not right.
bwe@Acts:10:20 @ Get up. Go down and go with them. Do not fear to go, because I have sent them.
bwe@Acts:11:19 @ Some of the people had gone to other countries because of the big trouble when Stephen was killed. They went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch. They told Gods word to the Jews only.
bwe@Acts:12:20 @ Now Herod was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. But they got Blastus to speak to the king for them. Blastus was one of the men who worked in the kings house. They came to Herod together. They wanted to make peace with him because their country got its food from his country.
bwe@Acts:12:23 @ At once an angel from God put a bad sickness on Herod because he did not give God the praise. Worms ate him and he died.
bwe@Acts:13:38 @ Men and brothers, understand this. It is because of this Jesus that we tell you your wrong ways will be forgiven you.
bwe@Acts:14:8 @ At Lystra a man was sitting. He was not able to walk because he had no strength in his feet. He had never walked since he was born.
bwe@Acts:14:12 @ They named Barnabas, Jupiter. And they named Paul, Mercury, because he was the one who talked.

bwe@Acts:14:23 @ They chose leaders for them in every church. They talked with God and fasted. When they were finished, they gave the leaders over to the Lords care, because they believed in him.
bwe@Acts:15:11 @ We believe that the Lord Jesus saves us because he is kind. And that is why he saves them.
bwe@Acts:16:3 @ Paul wanted him to go with him. He circumcised him because all the Jews in those places knew that his father was a Greek.

bwe@Acts:17:18 @ There were some wise men who believed the teachings of Epicurius. They believed the teaching of other wise men called Stoics. Some of them began to talk with Paul. And some said, What does this talker have to say? Others said, He seems to be talking about new gods. This was because he was telling them about Jesus and how he was raised from death.
bwe@Acts:17:25 @ Men cannot worship him by things they make with their hands because he does not need anything. He is the one who gives life and breath and everything else to all people.
bwe@Acts:18:2 @ There he met a Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus. A short time before this he and his wife Priscilla had come from the country of Italy. They left Italy because Claudius the ruler had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. This was the big city in Italy. Paul went to the house of Aquila and Priscilla.
bwe@Acts:18:18 @ Paul stayed there for many days. Then he said goodbye to the Christian brothers and went in a boat to the country of Syria. Priscilla and Aquila went with him. In the town of Cenchrea he cut his hair off. This was because he had made a promise to God.
bwe@Acts:18:27 @ Apollos decided to go into Achaia. The Christian brothers wrote to the disciples there and asked them to receive him. When he reached Achaia, he helped very much those who believed. They believed because God was kind to them.

bwe@Acts:20:13 @ We went by boat to the town of Assos. We were going to meet Paul there and take him on the boat. He told us to do that because he wanted to walk.
bwe@Acts:20:16 @ Paul decided not to stop at Ephesus. He did not want to spend time in Asia Minor. He kept going as fast as he could, because he hoped to be at the feast in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
bwe@Acts:20:38 @ They were sad most of all because he had said they would not see him again. And they went with him to the boat.
bwe@Acts:21:3 @ When we saw the island of Cyprus, we went on the right side of it to Syria. We landed at Tyre because they unloaded the boat there.
bwe@Acts:21:22 @ What should we do about it? Many people will gather together because they will surely hear that you have come.
bwe@Acts:21:29 @ They said this because they had seen a man from Ephesus named Trophimus. He was in the city with Paul. And they thought that Paul had brought him into the temple.
bwe@Acts:21:35 @ When Paul came to the steps, the soldiers carried him because the people were fighting to get him.
bwe@Acts:22:11 @ I could not see because the light was so bright. My friends led me by the hand to Damascus.

bwe@Acts:23:6 @ Paul knew that some of the men were from the Sadducee group and some of them were from the Pharisee group. So he called out in the court, My brothers, I am a Pharisee. My fathers were Pharisees. I am being judged because I believe that the dead will be raised to life again.
bwe@Acts:23:18 @ So the officer took him to the commanding officer. He said, Paul, the prisoner, called me. He asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.
bwe@Acts:23:27 @ This man was caught by the Jews. They were ready to kill him. But I came with my soldiers and took him away, because I found out that he is a Roman.
bwe@Acts:24:2 @ Paul was called in. Tertullus began to bring the complaints. Great ruler Felix, he said, we have peace because of what you have done. These people have a better life because of you.
bwe@Acts:24:21 @ I did this one thing. I shouted while I was standing among them, "I am being judged today because I believe that the dead will be raised again."
bwe@Acts:24:22 @ Felix sent them away because he knew many things about the Christian way. He said, When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will know everything about this matter.
bwe@Acts:26:7 @ All the people of our twelve tribes serve God faithfully day and night. They do this because they believe they will receive what he has promised. Because I believe this, king Agrippa, the Jewish leaders are talking against me.
bwe@Acts:27:4 @ Then we started out to sea again. We went near the island of Cyprus, because the wind was blowing against us.
bwe@Acts:27:41 @ But they came to a place where there was sand under the water. The boat stuck in it. The front end stuck so badly that they could not make it go. The back end began to break up because the water beat it so hard.
bwe@Acts:28:20 @ Now, here is why I have asked to see you and to talk to you. I am a prisoner tied with chains because I believe the same promise the Jews believe.
bwe@Romans:1:12 @ I mean to say that we will both be helped. I will be helped because you believe, and you will be helped because I believe.
bwe@Romans:1:17 @ The good news shows how God puts a person right. God puts a person right when that person believes in his Son and keeps on believing. The holy writings say, A person who is put right because he believes, will live for ever.
bwe@Romans:1:18 @ God is angry. He has shown it from heaven. He is angry because of all the bad and wrong things people do. These people hold back Gods truth by the wrong things they do.
bwe@Romans:1:27 @ Their men also left the right way with women. They wanted to have sex with one another. They did wrong things with other men. Their own bodies were punished because of the wrong things they did.
bwe@Romans:2:1 @ Do you judge another people? You your-selves have done wrong things. So when you judge others, you judge yourselves, because you do the same things. You judge them and yet you do the same things.
bwe@Romans:2:13 @ (God does not say people are good because they have heard the law. But people who obey the law will be called good people.
bwe@Romans:2:14 @ Some people do not have the law. But they do what the law says because their own hearts tell them to. They have a law of their own, even though they do not know the law.
bwe@Romans:2:18 @ You know what he wants people to do. You know the thoughts that are good because you have been taught the law.
