nkjv@Matthew:1:1 @ The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham:

nkjv@Matthew:1:6 @ and Jesse begot David the king. David the king begot Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah.

nkjv@Matthew:1:17 @ So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.

nkjv@Matthew:1:19 @ Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.

nkjv@Matthew:1:22 @ So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:

nkjv@Matthew:1:24 @ Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,

nkjv@Matthew:2:1 @ Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem,

nkjv@Matthew:2:2 @ saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him."

nkjv@Matthew:2:3 @ When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

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

nkjv@Matthew:2:5 @ So they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:

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

nkjv@Matthew:2:8 @ And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also."

nkjv@Matthew:2:9 @ When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was.

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

nkjv@Matthew:2:11 @ And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

nkjv@Matthew:2:12 @ Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.

nkjv@Matthew:2:13 @ Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him."

nkjv@Matthew:2:14 @ When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt,

nkjv@Matthew:2:15 @ and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt I called My Son."

nkjv@Matthew:2:16 @ Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men.

nkjv@Matthew:2:17 @ Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:

nkjv@Matthew:2:18 @ "A voice was heard in Ramah, Lamentation, weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, Refusing to be comforted, Because they are no more."

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

nkjv@Matthew:2:21 @ Then he arose, took the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.

nkjv@Matthew:2:22 @ But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the region of Galilee.

nkjv@Matthew:2:23 @ And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, "He shall be called a Nazarene."

nkjv@Matthew:3:2 @ and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!"

nkjv@Matthew:3:3 @ For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of the LORD; Make His paths straight."'

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

nkjv@Matthew:3:7 @ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

nkjv@Matthew:3:8 @ Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance,

nkjv@Matthew:3:9 @ and do not think to say to yourselves, "We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

nkjv@Matthew:3:10 @ And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

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

nkjv@Matthew:3:12 @ His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

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

nkjv@Matthew:3:14 @ And John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?"

nkjv@Matthew:3:15 @ But Jesus answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed Him.

nkjv@Matthew:3:16 @ When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.

nkjv@Matthew:3:17 @ And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

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

nkjv@Matthew:4:2 @ And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.

nkjv@Matthew:4:3 @ Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."

nkjv@Matthew:4:4 @ But He answered and said, "It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."'

nkjv@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple,

nkjv@Matthew:4:6 @ and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: "He shall give His angels charge over you,' and, "In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone."'

nkjv@Matthew:4:7 @ Jesus said to him, "It is written again, "You shall not tempt the LORD your God."'

nkjv@Matthew:4:10 @ Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve."'

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

nkjv@Matthew:4:12 @ Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, He departed to Galilee.

nkjv@Matthew:4:14 @ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

nkjv@Matthew:4:15 @ "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:

nkjv@Matthew:4:16 @ The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned."

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

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

nkjv@Matthew:4:19 @ Then He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."

nkjv@Matthew:4:21 @ Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them,

nkjv@Matthew:4:23 @ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.

nkjv@Matthew:4:24 @ Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them.

nkjv@Matthew:5:1 @ And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him.

nkjv@Matthew:5:2 @ Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:

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

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

nkjv@Matthew:5:11 @ "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.

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

nkjv@Matthew:5:13 @ "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

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

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

nkjv@Matthew:5:18 @ For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.

nkjv@Matthew:5:19 @ Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:5:20 @ For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:5:21 @ "You have heard that it was said to those of old, "You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.'

nkjv@Matthew:5:22 @ But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, "Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, "You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire.

nkjv@Matthew:5:24 @ leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

nkjv@Matthew:5:26 @ Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.

nkjv@Matthew:5:31 @ "Furthermore it has been said, "Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.'

nkjv@Matthew:5:34 @ But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne;

nkjv@Matthew:5:43 @ "You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'

nkjv@Matthew:5:44 @ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

nkjv@Matthew:5:45 @ that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

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

nkjv@Matthew:5:47 @ And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?

nkjv@Matthew:5:48 @ Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

nkjv@Matthew:6:1 @ "Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:6:2 @ Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

nkjv@Matthew:6:3 @ But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

nkjv@Matthew:6:4 @ that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.

nkjv@Matthew:6:5 @ "And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

nkjv@Matthew:6:6 @ But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

nkjv@Matthew:6:7 @ And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

nkjv@Matthew:6:9 @ In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

nkjv@Matthew:6:10 @ Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:6:13 @ And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

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

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

nkjv@Matthew:6:16 @ "Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

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

nkjv@Matthew:6:18 @ so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

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

nkjv@Matthew:6:26 @ Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

nkjv@Matthew:6:29 @ and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

nkjv@Matthew:6:30 @ Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

nkjv@Matthew:6:32 @ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

nkjv@Matthew:6:34 @ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

nkjv@Matthew:7:2 @ For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

nkjv@Matthew:7:5 @ Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

nkjv@Matthew:7:7 @ "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

nkjv@Matthew:7:8 @ For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

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

nkjv@Matthew:7:11 @ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

nkjv@Matthew:7:12 @ Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

nkjv@Matthew:7:13 @ "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.

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

nkjv@Matthew:7:16 @ You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?

nkjv@Matthew:7:17 @ Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

nkjv@Matthew:7:21 @ "Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:7:23 @ And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'

nkjv@Matthew:7:24 @ "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:

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

nkjv@Matthew:7:27 @ and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall."

nkjv@Matthew:7:28 @ And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching,

nkjv@Matthew:8:1 @ When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him.

nkjv@Matthew:8:3 @ Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

nkjv@Matthew:8:5 @ Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him,

nkjv@Matthew:8:6 @ saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented."

nkjv@Matthew:8:8 @ The centurion answered and said, "Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.

nkjv@Matthew:8:10 @ When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, "Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!

nkjv@Matthew:8:11 @ And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

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

nkjv@Matthew:8:14 @ Now when Jesus had come into Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother lying sick with a fever.

nkjv@Matthew:8:16 @ When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,

nkjv@Matthew:8:17 @ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: "He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses."

nkjv@Matthew:8:18 @ And when Jesus saw great multitudes about Him, He gave a command to depart to the other side.

nkjv@Matthew:8:19 @ Then a certain scribe came and said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go."

nkjv@Matthew:8:21 @ Then another of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."

nkjv@Matthew:8:23 @ Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him.

nkjv@Matthew:8:24 @ And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep.

nkjv@Matthew:8:25 @ Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!"

nkjv@Matthew:8:26 @ But He said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

nkjv@Matthew:8:27 @ So the men marveled, saying, "Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?"

nkjv@Matthew:8:28 @ When He had come to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way.

nkjv@Matthew:8:29 @ And suddenly they cried out, saying, "What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?"

nkjv@Matthew:8:32 @ And He said to them, "Go." So when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine. And suddenly the whole herd of swine ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and perished in the water.

nkjv@Matthew:8:33 @ Then those who kept them fled; and they went away into the city and told everything, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men.

nkjv@Matthew:8:34 @ And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to depart from their region.

nkjv@Matthew:9:2 @ Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, "Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you."

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

nkjv@Matthew:9:6 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins"--then He said to the paralytic, "Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house."

nkjv@Matthew:9:8 @ Now when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such power to men.

nkjv@Matthew:9:10 @ Now it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples.

nkjv@Matthew:9:11 @ And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

nkjv@Matthew:9:12 @ When Jesus heard that, He said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

nkjv@Matthew:9:13 @ But go and learn what this means: "I desire mercy and not sacrifice.' For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."

nkjv@Matthew:9:14 @ Then the disciples of John came to Him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your disciples do not fast?"

nkjv@Matthew:9:15 @ And Jesus said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

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

nkjv@Matthew:9:20 @ And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment.

nkjv@Matthew:9:21 @ For she said to herself, "If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well."

nkjv@Matthew:9:22 @ But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, "Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.

nkjv@Matthew:9:23 @ When Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing,

nkjv@Matthew:9:25 @ But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

nkjv@Matthew:9:26 @ And the report of this went out into all that land.

nkjv@Matthew:9:27 @ When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, "Son of David, have mercy on us!"

nkjv@Matthew:9:28 @ And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to Him, "Yes, Lord."

nkjv@Matthew:9:29 @ Then He touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith let it be to you."

nkjv@Matthew:9:30 @ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, "See that no one knows it."

nkjv@Matthew:9:31 @ But when they had departed, they spread the news about Him in all that country.

nkjv@Matthew:9:32 @ As they went out, behold, they brought to Him a man, mute and demon-possessed.

nkjv@Matthew:9:33 @ And when the demon was cast out, the mute spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying, "It was never seen like this in Israel!"

nkjv@Matthew:9:35 @ Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

nkjv@Matthew:9:36 @ But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.

nkjv@Matthew:9:37 @ Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

nkjv@Matthew:9:38 @ Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."

nkjv@Matthew:10:1 @ And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.

nkjv@Matthew:10:5 @ These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: "Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans.

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

nkjv@Matthew:10:11 @ "Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out.

nkjv@Matthew:10:12 @ And when you go into a household, greet it.

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

nkjv@Matthew:10:15 @ Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!

nkjv@Matthew:10:16 @ "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

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

nkjv@Matthew:10:18 @ You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

nkjv@Matthew:10:19 @ But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak;

nkjv@Matthew:10:21 @ "Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.

nkjv@Matthew:10:22 @ And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

nkjv@Matthew:10:23 @ When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

nkjv@Matthew:10:25 @ It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!

nkjv@Matthew:10:26 @ Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

nkjv@Matthew:10:32 @ "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:10:33 @ But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:10:36 @ and "a man's enemies will be those of his own household.'

nkjv@Matthew:10:40 @ "He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.

nkjv@Matthew:11:1 @ Now it came to pass, when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples, that He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.

nkjv@Matthew:11:2 @ And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples

nkjv@Matthew:11:6 @ And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me."

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

nkjv@Matthew:11:16 @ "But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions,

nkjv@Matthew:11:19 @ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, "Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her children."

nkjv@Matthew:11:20 @ Then He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent:

nkjv@Matthew:11:21 @ "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

nkjv@Matthew:11:22 @ But I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.

nkjv@Matthew:11:23 @ And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

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

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

nkjv@Matthew:11:26 @ Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

nkjv@Matthew:11:27 @ All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

nkjv@Matthew:11:29 @ Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

nkjv@Matthew:11:30 @ For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

nkjv@Matthew:12:1 @ At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. And His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.

nkjv@Matthew:12:2 @ And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, "Look, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!"

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

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

nkjv@Matthew:12:8 @ For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."

nkjv@Matthew:12:9 @ Now when He had departed from there, He went into their synagogue.

nkjv@Matthew:12:11 @ Then He said to them, "What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?

nkjv@Matthew:12:12 @ Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."

nkjv@Matthew:12:13 @ Then He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other.

nkjv@Matthew:12:14 @ Then the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.

nkjv@Matthew:12:15 @ But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.

nkjv@Matthew:12:18 @ "Behold! My Servant whom I have chosen, My Beloved in whom My soul is well pleased! I will put My Spirit upon Him, And He will declare justice to the Gentiles.

nkjv@Matthew:12:20 @ A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench, Till He sends forth justice to victory;

nkjv@Matthew:12:21 @ And in His name Gentiles will trust."

nkjv@Matthew:12:22 @ Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.

nkjv@Matthew:12:42 @ The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.

nkjv@Matthew:12:43 @ "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.

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

nkjv@Matthew:12:45 @ Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation."

nkjv@Matthew:12:47 @ Then one said to Him, "Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You."

nkjv@Matthew:12:50 @ For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother."

nkjv@Matthew:13:1 @ On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

nkjv@Matthew:13:3 @ Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: "Behold, a sower went out to sow.

nkjv@Matthew:13:17 @ for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

nkjv@Matthew:13:19 @ When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.

nkjv@Matthew:13:21 @ yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

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

nkjv@Matthew:13:25 @ but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.

nkjv@Matthew:13:26 @ But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.

nkjv@Matthew:13:28 @ He said to them, "An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, "Do you want us then to go and gather them up?'

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

nkjv@Matthew:13:32 @ which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches."

nkjv@Matthew:13:33 @ Another parable He spoke to them: "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened."

nkjv@Matthew:13:35 @ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: "I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world."

nkjv@Matthew:13:39 @ The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.

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

nkjv@Matthew:13:41 @ The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,

nkjv@Matthew:13:54 @ When He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, "Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

nkjv@Matthew:13:56 @ And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?"

nkjv@Matthew:13:57 @ So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house."

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

nkjv@Matthew:14:9 @ And the king was sorry; nevertheless, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he commanded it to be given to her.

nkjv@Matthew:14:10 @ So he sent and had John beheaded in prison.

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

nkjv@Matthew:14:12 @ Then his disciples came and took away the body and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

nkjv@Matthew:14:13 @ When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities.

nkjv@Matthew:14:14 @ And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.

nkjv@Matthew:14:15 @ When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, "This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food."

nkjv@Matthew:14:19 @ Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.

nkjv@Matthew:14:20 @ So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.

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

nkjv@Matthew:14:22 @ Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.

nkjv@Matthew:14:23 @ And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.

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

nkjv@Matthew:14:26 @ And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear.

nkjv@Matthew:14:29 @ So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.

nkjv@Matthew:14:30 @ But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"

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

nkjv@Matthew:14:33 @ Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, "Truly You are the Son of God."

nkjv@Matthew:14:34 @ When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.

nkjv@Matthew:14:35 @ And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent out into all that surrounding region, brought to Him all who were sick,

nkjv@Matthew:14:36 @ and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.

nkjv@Matthew:15:1 @ Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying,

nkjv@Matthew:15:2 @ "Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread."

nkjv@Matthew:15:3 @ He answered and said to them, "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?

nkjv@Matthew:15:6 @ then he need not honor his father or mother.' Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.

nkjv@Matthew:15:9 @ And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men."'

nkjv@Matthew:15:17 @ Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?

nkjv@Matthew:15:21 @ Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon.

nkjv@Matthew:15:23 @ But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, "Send her away, for she cries out after us."

nkjv@Matthew:15:24 @ But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

nkjv@Matthew:15:25 @ Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, help me!"

nkjv@Matthew:15:27 @ And she said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."

nkjv@Matthew:15:28 @ Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

nkjv@Matthew:15:29 @ Jesus departed from there, skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there.

nkjv@Matthew:15:30 @ Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus' feet, and He healed them.

nkjv@Matthew:15:31 @ So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

nkjv@Matthew:15:32 @ Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way."

nkjv@Matthew:16:5 @ Now when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

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

nkjv@Matthew:26:39 @ He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will."

nkjv@Matthew:26:40 @ Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?

nkjv@Matthew:26:41 @ Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

nkjv@Matthew:26:42 @ Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done."

nkjv@Matthew:26:44 @ So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

nkjv@Matthew:26:45 @ Then He came to His disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

nkjv@Matthew:26:48 @ Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him."

nkjv@Matthew:26:49 @ Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.

nkjv@Matthew:26:50 @ But Jesus said to him, "Friend, why have you come?" Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him.

nkjv@Matthew:26:51 @ And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

nkjv@Matthew:26:54 @ How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?"

nkjv@Matthew:26:56 @ But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.

nkjv@Matthew:26:58 @ But Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest's courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.

nkjv@Matthew:26:60 @ but found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward

nkjv@Matthew:26:62 @ And the high priest arose and said to Him, "Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?"

nkjv@Matthew:26:63 @ But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!"

nkjv@Matthew:26:64 @ Jesus said to him, "It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

nkjv@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy!

nkjv@Matthew:26:67 @ Then they spat in His face and beat Him; and others struck Him with the palms of their hands,

nkjv@Matthew:26:70 @ But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are saying."

nkjv@Matthew:26:71 @ And when he had gone out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, "This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth."

nkjv@Matthew:26:72 @ But again he denied with an oath, "I do not know the Man!"

nkjv@Matthew:26:74 @ Then he began to curse and swear, saying, "I do not know the Man!" Immediately a rooster crowed.

nkjv@Matthew:26:75 @ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." So he went out and wept bitterly.

nkjv@Matthew:27:1 @ When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put Him to death.

nkjv@Matthew:27:2 @ And when they had bound Him, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

nkjv@Matthew:27:3 @ Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

nkjv@Matthew:27:4 @ saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? You see to it!"

nkjv@Matthew:27:5 @ Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself.

nkjv@Matthew:27:8 @ Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

nkjv@Matthew:27:9 @ Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of Him who was priced, whom they of the children of Israel priced,

nkjv@Matthew:27:13 @ Then Pilate said to Him, "Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?"

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

nkjv@Matthew:27:18 @ For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy.

nkjv@Matthew:27:19 @ While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him."

nkjv@Matthew:27:22 @ Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said to him, "Let Him be crucified!"

nkjv@Matthew:27:23 @ Then the governor said, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they cried out all the more, saying, "Let Him be crucified!"

nkjv@Matthew:27:24 @ When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it."

nkjv@Matthew:27:25 @ And all the people answered and said, "His blood be on us and on our children."

nkjv@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.

nkjv@Matthew:27:27 @ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around Him.

nkjv@Matthew:27:29 @ When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

nkjv@Matthew:27:30 @ Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head.

nkjv@Matthew:27:31 @ And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified.

nkjv@Matthew:27:32 @ Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross.

nkjv@Matthew:27:33 @ And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull,

nkjv@Matthew:27:34 @ they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink.

nkjv@Matthew:27:35 @ Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: "They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots."

nkjv@Matthew:27:37 @ And they put up over His head the accusation written against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

nkjv@Matthew:27:38 @ Then two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left.

nkjv@Matthew:27:44 @ Even the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing.

nkjv@Matthew:27:46 @ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"

nkjv@Matthew:27:47 @ Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, "This Man is calling for Elijah!"

nkjv@Matthew:27:51 @ Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,

nkjv@Matthew:27:52 @ and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

nkjv@Matthew:27:53 @ and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

nkjv@Matthew:27:54 @ So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

nkjv@Matthew:27:55 @ And many women who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar,

nkjv@Matthew:27:56 @ among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.

nkjv@Matthew:27:57 @ Now when evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

nkjv@Matthew:27:58 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him.

nkjv@Matthew:27:59 @ When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

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

nkjv@Matthew:27:64 @ Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, "He has risen from the dead.' So the last deception will be worse than the first."

nkjv@Matthew:27:66 @ So they went and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone and setting the guard.

nkjv@Matthew:28:1 @ Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

nkjv@Matthew:28:2 @ And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it.

nkjv@Matthew:28:3 @ His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.

nkjv@Matthew:28:4 @ And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.

nkjv@Matthew:28:5 @ But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

nkjv@Matthew:28:6 @ He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

nkjv@Matthew:28:7 @ And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you."

nkjv@Matthew:28:8 @ So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.

nkjv@Matthew:28:9 @ And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, "Rejoice!" So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.

nkjv@Matthew:28:10 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me."

nkjv@Matthew:28:11 @ Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened.

nkjv@Matthew:28:12 @ When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,

nkjv@Matthew:28:16 @ Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.

nkjv@Matthew:28:17 @ When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.

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

nkjv@Matthew:28:20 @ teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

nkjv@Mark:1:2 @ As it is written in the Prophets: "Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You."

nkjv@Mark:1:4 @ John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

nkjv@Mark:1:5 @ Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

nkjv@Mark:1:10 @ And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove.

nkjv@Mark:1:11 @ Then a voice came from heaven, "You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

nkjv@Mark:1:15 @ and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel."

nkjv@Mark:1:16 @ And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

nkjv@Mark:1:17 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men."

nkjv@Mark:1:19 @ When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets.

nkjv@Mark:1:20 @ And immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after Him.

nkjv@Mark:1:21 @ Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught.

nkjv@Mark:1:26 @ And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him.

nkjv@Mark:1:27 @ Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him."

nkjv@Mark:1:29 @ Now as soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

nkjv@Mark:1:32 @ At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed.

nkjv@Mark:1:34 @ Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

nkjv@Mark:1:35 @ Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.

nkjv@Mark:1:37 @ When they found Him, they said to Him, "Everyone is looking for You."

nkjv@Mark:1:41 @ Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."

nkjv@Mark:1:42 @ As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.

nkjv@Mark:1:43 @ And He strictly warned him and sent him away at once,

nkjv@Mark:1:45 @ However, he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but was outside in deserted places; and they came to Him from every direction.

nkjv@Mark:2:1 @ And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house.

nkjv@Mark:2:2 @ Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them.

nkjv@Mark:2:3 @ Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men.

nkjv@Mark:2:4 @ And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.

nkjv@Mark:2:5 @ When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."

nkjv@Mark:2:8 @ But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, "Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?

nkjv@Mark:2:9 @ Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, "Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, "Arise, take up your bed and walk'?

nkjv@Mark:2:12 @ Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

nkjv@Mark:2:13 @ Then He went out again by the sea; and all the multitude came to Him, and He taught them.

nkjv@Mark:2:15 @ Now it happened, as He was dining in Levi's house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat together with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they followed Him.

nkjv@Mark:2:16 @ And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, "How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?"

nkjv@Mark:2:17 @ When Jesus heard it, He said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."

nkjv@Mark:2:18 @ The disciples of John and of the Pharisees were fasting. Then they came and said to Him, "Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?"

nkjv@Mark:2:19 @ And Jesus said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.

nkjv@Mark:2:20 @ But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days.

nkjv@Mark:2:21 @ No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; or else the new piece pulls away from the old, and the tear is made worse.

nkjv@Mark:2:23 @ Now it happened that He went through the grainfields on the Sabbath; and as they went His disciples began to pluck the heads of grain.

nkjv@Mark:2:25 @ But He said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and those with him:

nkjv@Mark:2:26 @ how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the showbread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and also gave some to those who were with him?"

nkjv@Mark:3:1 @ And He entered the synagogue again, and a man was there who had a withered hand.

nkjv@Mark:3:4 @ Then He said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they kept silent.

nkjv@Mark:3:5 @ And when He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.

nkjv@Mark:3:6 @ Then the Pharisees went out and immediately plotted with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.

nkjv@Mark:3:8 @ and Jerusalem and Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and those from Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard how many things He was doing, came to Him.

nkjv@Mark:3:11 @ And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried out, saying, "You are the Son of God."

nkjv@Mark:3:13 @ And He went up on the mountain and called to Him those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him.

nkjv@Mark:3:14 @ Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach,

nkjv@Mark:3:19 @ and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. And they went into a house.

nkjv@Mark:3:20 @ Then the multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

nkjv@Mark:3:21 @ But when His own people heard about this, they went out to lay hold of Him, for they said, "He is out of His mind."

nkjv@Mark:3:26 @ And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.

nkjv@Mark:3:27 @ No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house.

nkjv@Mark:3:28 @ "Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter;

nkjv@Mark:3:29 @ but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation"--

nkjv@Mark:3:31 @ Then His brothers and His mother came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him.

nkjv@Mark:4:2 @ Then He taught them many things by parables, and said to them in His teaching:

nkjv@Mark:4:3 @ "Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow.

nkjv@Mark:4:4 @ And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured it.

nkjv@Mark:4:6 @ But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away.

nkjv@Mark:4:10 @ But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable.

nkjv@Mark:4:11 @ And He said to them, "To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables,

nkjv@Mark:4:12 @ so that "Seeing they may see and not perceive, And hearing they may hear and not understand; Lest they should turn, And their sins be forgiven them."'

nkjv@Mark:4:13 @ And He said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?

nkjv@Mark:4:15 @ And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.

nkjv@Mark:4:16 @ These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

nkjv@Mark:4:17 @ and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word's sake, immediately they stumble.

nkjv@Mark:4:19 @ and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

nkjv@Mark:4:22 @ For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.

nkjv@Mark:4:24 @ Then He said to them, "Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.

nkjv@Mark:4:25 @ For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him."

nkjv@Mark:4:28 @ For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head.

nkjv@Mark:4:29 @ But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."

nkjv@Mark:4:30 @ Then He said, "To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it?

nkjv@Mark:4:31 @ It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth;

nkjv@Mark:4:32 @ but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade."

nkjv@Mark:4:34 @ But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples.

nkjv@Mark:4:35 @ On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side."

nkjv@Mark:4:36 @ Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him.

nkjv@Mark:4:39 @ Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!" And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

nkjv@Mark:4:41 @ And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, "Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!"

nkjv@Mark:5:1 @ Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes.

nkjv@Mark:5:2 @ And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

nkjv@Mark:5:3 @ who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains,

nkjv@Mark:5:4 @ because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him.

nkjv@Mark:5:6 @ When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him.

nkjv@Mark:5:7 @ And he cried out with a loud voice and said, "What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God that You do not torment me."

nkjv@Mark:5:9 @ Then He asked him, "What is your name?" And he answered, saying, "My name is Legion; for we are many."

nkjv@Mark:5:10 @ Also he begged Him earnestly that He would not send them out of the country.

nkjv@Mark:5:12 @ So all the demons begged Him, saying, "Send us to the swine, that we may enter them."

nkjv@Mark:5:13 @ And at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea.

nkjv@Mark:5:14 @ So those who fed the swine fled, and they told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had happened.

nkjv@Mark:5:15 @ Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been demon-possessed and had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.

nkjv@Mark:5:16 @ And those who saw it told them how it happened to him who had been demon-possessed, and about the swine.

nkjv@Mark:5:17 @ Then they began to plead with Him to depart from their region.

nkjv@Mark:5:18 @ And when He got into the boat, he who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him.

nkjv@Mark:5:19 @ However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, "Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you."

nkjv@Mark:5:21 @ Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea.

nkjv@Mark:5:22 @ And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet

nkjv@Mark:5:24 @ So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him.

nkjv@Mark:5:26 @ and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.

nkjv@Mark:5:27 @ When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment.

nkjv@Mark:5:33 @ But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.

nkjv@Mark:5:36 @ As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid; only believe."

nkjv@Mark:5:38 @ Then He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw a tumult and those who wept and wailed loudly.

nkjv@Mark:5:39 @ When He came in, He said to them, "Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping."

nkjv@Mark:5:40 @ And they ridiculed Him. But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying.

nkjv@Mark:5:41 @ Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," which is translated, "Little girl, I say to you, arise."

nkjv@Mark:5:42 @ Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement.

nkjv@Mark:5:43 @ But He commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat.

nkjv@Mark:6:1 @ Then He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him.

nkjv@Mark:6:2 @ And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, "Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands!

nkjv@Mark:6:3 @ Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?" So they were offended at Him.

nkjv@Mark:6:6 @ And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.

nkjv@Mark:6:7 @ And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.

nkjv@Mark:6:10 @ Also He said to them, "In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till you depart from that place.

nkjv@Mark:6:11 @ And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!"

nkjv@Mark:6:12 @ So they went out and preached that people should repent.

nkjv@Mark:6:14 @ Now King Herod heard of Him, for His name had become well known. And he said, "John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."

nkjv@Mark:6:16 @ But when Herod heard, he said, "This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!"

nkjv@Mark:6:17 @ For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; for he had married her.

nkjv@Mark:6:20 @ for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and he protected him. And when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

nkjv@Mark:6:21 @ Then an opportune day came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.

nkjv@Mark:6:22 @ And when Herodias' daughter herself came in and danced, and pleased Herod and those who sat with him, the king said to the girl, "Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you."

nkjv@Mark:6:24 @ So she went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the Baptist!"

nkjv@Mark:6:27 @ Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in prison,

nkjv@Mark:6:29 @ When his disciples heard of it, they came and took away his corpse and laid it in a tomb.

nkjv@Mark:6:30 @ Then the apostles gathered to Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.

nkjv@Mark:6:31 @ And He said to them, "Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while." For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

nkjv@Mark:6:34 @ And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things.

nkjv@Mark:6:35 @ When the day was now far spent, His disciples came to Him and said, "This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late.

nkjv@Mark:6:36 @ Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat."

nkjv@Mark:6:37 @ But He answered and said to them, "You give them something to eat." And they said to Him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?"

nkjv@Mark:6:38 @ But He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see." And when they found out they said, "Five, and two fish."

nkjv@Mark:6:39 @ Then He commanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.

nkjv@Mark:6:41 @ And when He had taken the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to heaven, blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and the two fish He divided among them all.

nkjv@Mark:6:43 @ And they took up twelve baskets full of fragments and of the fish.

nkjv@Mark:6:44 @ Now those who had eaten the loaves were about five thousand men.

nkjv@Mark:6:45 @ Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away.

nkjv@Mark:6:46 @ And when He had sent them away, He departed to the mountain to pray.

nkjv@Mark:6:47 @ Now when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone on the land.

nkjv@Mark:6:48 @ Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea, and would have passed them by.

nkjv@Mark:6:49 @ And when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed it was a ghost, and cried out;

nkjv@Mark:6:51 @ Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled.

nkjv@Mark:6:52 @ For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened.

nkjv@Mark:6:53 @ When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret and anchored there.

nkjv@Mark:6:54 @ And when they came out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him,

nkjv@Mark:6:56 @ Wherever He entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well.

nkjv@Mark:7:1 @ Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes came together to Him, having come from Jerusalem.

nkjv@Mark:7:2 @ Now when they saw some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.

nkjv@Mark:7:4 @ When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold, like the washing of cups, pitchers, copper vessels, and couches.

nkjv@Mark:7:5 @ Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?"

nkjv@Mark:7:6 @ He answered and said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: "This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.

nkjv@Mark:7:7 @ And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'

nkjv@Mark:7:8 @ For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men --the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do."

nkjv@Mark:7:9 @ He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

nkjv@Mark:7:12 @ then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother,

nkjv@Mark:7:14 @ When He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, "Hear Me, everyone, and understand:

nkjv@Mark:7:15 @ There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man.

nkjv@Mark:7:17 @ When He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable.

nkjv@Mark:7:18 @ So He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him,

nkjv@Mark:7:19 @ because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?"

nkjv@Mark:7:21 @ For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

nkjv@Mark:7:24 @ From there He arose and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be hidden.

nkjv@Mark:7:26 @ The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

nkjv@Mark:7:27 @ But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs."

nkjv@Mark:7:28 @ And she answered and said to Him, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs."

nkjv@Mark:7:29 @ Then He said to her, "For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter."

nkjv@Mark:7:30 @ And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.

nkjv@Mark:7:32 @ Then they brought to Him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His hand on him.

nkjv@Mark:7:34 @ Then, looking up to heaven, He sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."

nkjv@Mark:7:35 @ Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.

nkjv@Mark:7:36 @ Then He commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more He commanded them, the more widely they proclaimed it.

nkjv@Mark:8:3 @ And if I send them away hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar."

nkjv@Mark:8:4 @ Then His disciples answered Him, "How can one satisfy these people with bread here in the wilderness?"

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

nkjv@Mark:8:6 @ So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.

nkjv@Mark:8:8 @ So they ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets of leftover fragments.

nkjv@Mark:8:9 @ Now those who had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them away,

nkjv@Mark:8:11 @ Then the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him.

nkjv@Mark:8:12 @ But He sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."

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

nkjv@Mark:8:15 @ Then He charged them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."

nkjv@Mark:8:17 @ But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, "Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?

nkjv@Mark:8:19 @ When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?" They said to Him, "Twelve."

nkjv@Mark:8:20 @ "Also, when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?" And they said, "Seven."

nkjv@Mark:8:22 @ Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him.

nkjv@Mark:8:23 @ So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.

nkjv@Mark:8:24 @ And he looked up and said, "I see men like trees, walking."

nkjv@Mark:8:25 @ Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.

nkjv@Mark:8:26 @ Then He sent him away to his house, saying, "Neither go into the town, nor tell anyone in the town."

nkjv@Mark:8:27 @ Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He asked His disciples, saying to them, "Who do men say that I am?"

nkjv@Mark:8:30 @ Then He strictly warned them that they should tell no one about Him.

nkjv@Mark:8:32 @ He spoke this word openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.

nkjv@Mark:8:33 @ But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, "Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."

nkjv@Mark:8:34 @ When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

nkjv@Mark:8:38 @ For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."

nkjv@Mark:9:1 @ And He said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God present with power."

nkjv@Mark:9:3 @ His clothes became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

nkjv@Mark:9:5 @ Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"--

nkjv@Mark:9:8 @ Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.

nkjv@Mark:9:9 @ Now as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

nkjv@Mark:9:12 @ Then He answered and told them, "Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all things. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

nkjv@Mark:9:13 @ But I say to you that Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him."

nkjv@Mark:9:14 @ And when He came to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with them.

nkjv@Mark:9:15 @ Immediately, when they saw Him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him.

nkjv@Mark:9:17 @ Then one of the crowd answered and said, "Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit.

nkjv@Mark:9:19 @ He answered him and said, "O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me."

nkjv@Mark:9:20 @ Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.

nkjv@Mark:9:21 @ So He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood.

nkjv@Mark:9:22 @ And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us."

nkjv@Mark:9:25 @ When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!"

nkjv@Mark:9:26 @ Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, "He is dead."

nkjv@Mark:9:28 @ And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"

nkjv@Mark:9:30 @ Then they departed from there and passed through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know it.

nkjv@Mark:9:31 @ For He taught His disciples and said to them, "The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill Him. And after He is killed, He will rise the third day."

nkjv@Mark:9:33 @ Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, "What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?"

nkjv@Mark:9:34 @ But they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves who would be the greatest.

nkjv@Mark:9:36 @ Then He took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them,

nkjv@Mark:9:37 @ "Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me."

nkjv@Mark:9:43 @ If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched--

nkjv@Mark:9:44 @ where "Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.'

nkjv@Mark:9:45 @ And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched--

nkjv@Mark:9:46 @ where "Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.'

nkjv@Mark:9:47 @ And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire--

nkjv@Mark:9:48 @ where "Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.'

nkjv@Mark:10:1 @ Then He arose from there and came to the region of Judea by the other side of the Jordan. And multitudes gathered to Him again, and as He was accustomed, He taught them again.

nkjv@Mark:10:8 @ and the two shall become one flesh'; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.

nkjv@Mark:10:13 @ Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

nkjv@Mark:10:14 @ But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Mark:10:15 @ Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it."

nkjv@Mark:10:19 @ You know the commandments: "Do not commit adultery,' "Do not murder,' "Do not steal,' "Do not bear false witness,' "Do not defraud,' "Honor your father and your mother."'

nkjv@Mark:10:21 @ Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me."

nkjv@Mark:10:22 @ But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

nkjv@Mark:10:23 @ Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!"

nkjv@Mark:10:24 @ And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, "Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God!

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

nkjv@Mark:10:26 @ And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved?"

nkjv@Mark:10:27 @ But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."

nkjv@Mark:10:28 @ Then Peter began to say to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You."

nkjv@Mark:10:29 @ So Jesus answered and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel's,

nkjv@Mark:10:30 @ who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time--houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions--and in the age to come, eternal life.

nkjv@Mark:10:32 @ Now they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them; and they were amazed. And as they followed they were afraid. Then He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them the things that would happen to Him:

nkjv@Mark:10:33 @ "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and deliver Him to the Gentiles;

nkjv@Mark:10:35 @ Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, "Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask."

nkjv@Mark:10:41 @ And when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John.

nkjv@Mark:10:42 @ But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, "You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

nkjv@Mark:10:45 @ For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

nkjv@Mark:10:46 @ Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging.

nkjv@Mark:10:47 @ And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

nkjv@Mark:10:48 @ Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

nkjv@Mark:10:49 @ So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him, "Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you."

nkjv@Mark:10:50 @ And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus.

nkjv@Mark:10:52 @ Then Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.

nkjv@Mark:11:1 @ Now when they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples;

nkjv@Mark:11:2 @ and He said to them, "Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it.

nkjv@Mark:11:3 @ And if anyone says to you, "Why are you doing this?' say, "The Lord has need of it,' and immediately he will send it here."

nkjv@Mark:11:4 @ So they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosed it.

nkjv@Mark:11:7 @ Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it.

nkjv@Mark:11:9 @ Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: "Hosanna! "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!'

nkjv@Mark:11:11 @ And Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple. So when He had looked around at all things, as the hour was already late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve.

nkjv@Mark:11:12 @ Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry.

nkjv@Mark:11:13 @ And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

nkjv@Mark:11:15 @ So they came to Jerusalem. Then Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.

nkjv@Mark:11:17 @ Then He taught, saying to them, "Is it not written, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations'? But you have made it a "den of thieves."'

nkjv@Mark:11:19 @ When evening had come, He went out of the city.

nkjv@Mark:11:24 @ Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

nkjv@Mark:11:25 @ "And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.

nkjv@Mark:11:26 @ But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses."

nkjv@Mark:11:27 @ Then they came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to Him.

nkjv@Mark:11:29 @ But Jesus answered and said to them, "I also will ask you one question; then answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

nkjv@Mark:11:30 @ The baptism of John--was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me."

nkjv@Mark:11:31 @ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we say, "From heaven,' He will say, "Why then did you not believe him?'

nkjv@Mark:11:32 @ But if we say, "From men"'--they feared the people, for all counted John to have been a prophet indeed.

nkjv@Mark:12:1 @ Then He began to speak to them in parables: "A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place for the wine vat and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country.

nkjv@Mark:12:2 @ Now at vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that he might receive some of the fruit of the vineyard from the vinedressers.

nkjv@Mark:12:3 @ And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

nkjv@Mark:12:4 @ Again he sent them another servant, and at him they threw stones, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.

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

nkjv@Mark:12:6 @ Therefore still having one son, his beloved, he also sent him to them last, saying, "They will respect my son.'

nkjv@Mark:12:10 @ Have you not even read this Scripture: "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone.

nkjv@Mark:12:12 @ And they sought to lay hands on Him, but feared the multitude, for they knew He had spoken the parable against them. So they left Him and went away.

nkjv@Mark:12:13 @ Then they sent to Him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch Him in His words.

nkjv@Mark:12:14 @ When they had come, they said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and care about no one; for You do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

nkjv@Mark:12:15 @ Shall we pay, or shall we not pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why do you test Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may see it."

nkjv@Mark:12:17 @ And Jesus answered and said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they marveled at Him.

nkjv@Mark:12:18 @ Then some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him; and they asked Him, saying:

nkjv@Mark:12:19 @ "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, and leaves his wife behind, and leaves no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

nkjv@Mark:12:20 @ Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife; and dying, he left no offspring.

nkjv@Mark:12:22 @ So the seven had her and left no offspring. Last of all the woman died also.

nkjv@Mark:12:23 @ Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife."

nkjv@Mark:12:24 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God?

nkjv@Mark:12:25 @ For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

nkjv@Mark:12:27 @ He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken."

nkjv@Mark:12:28 @ Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, "Which is the first commandment of all?"

nkjv@Mark:12:29 @ Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: "Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one.

nkjv@Mark:12:30 @ And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment.

nkjv@Mark:12:31 @ And the second, like it, is this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

nkjv@Mark:12:32 @ So the scribe said to Him, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He.

nkjv@Mark:12:33 @ And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

nkjv@Mark:12:34 @ Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." But after that no one dared question Him.

nkjv@Mark:12:35 @ Then Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

nkjv@Mark:12:36 @ For David himself said by the Holy Spirit: "The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool."'

nkjv@Mark:12:37 @ Therefore David himself calls Him "Lord'; how is He then his Son?" And the common people heard Him gladly.

nkjv@Mark:12:38 @ Then He said to them in His teaching, "Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces,

nkjv@Mark:12:40 @ who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation."

nkjv@Mark:13:7 @ But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet.

nkjv@Mark:13:9 @ "But watch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them.

nkjv@Mark:13:20 @ And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days.

nkjv@Mark:14:3 @ And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head.

nkjv@Mark:14:5 @ For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor." And they criticized her sharply.

nkjv@Mark:14:7 @ For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always.

nkjv@Mark:14:11 @ And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. So he sought how he might conveniently betray Him.

nkjv@Mark:14:12 @ Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?"

nkjv@Mark:14:13 @ And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him.

nkjv@Mark:14:15 @ Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us."

nkjv@Mark:14:16 @ So His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover.

nkjv@Mark:14:17 @ In the evening He came with the twelve.

nkjv@Mark:14:21 @ The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born."

nkjv@Mark:14:23 @ Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

nkjv@Mark:14:24 @ And He said to them, "This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many.

nkjv@Mark:14:26 @ And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

nkjv@Mark:14:27 @ Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: "I will strike the Shepherd, And the sheep will be scattered.'

nkjv@Mark:14:28 @ "But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee."

nkjv@Mark:14:29 @ Peter said to Him, "Even if all are made to stumble, yet I will not be."

nkjv@Mark:14:30 @ Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times."

nkjv@Mark:14:31 @ But he spoke more vehemently, "If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" And they all said likewise.

nkjv@Mark:14:32 @ Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sit here while I pray."

nkjv@Mark:14:34 @ Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch."

nkjv@Mark:14:35 @ He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.

nkjv@Mark:14:37 @ Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?

nkjv@Mark:14:38 @ Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

nkjv@Mark:14:39 @ Again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words.

nkjv@Mark:14:40 @ And when He returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.

nkjv@Mark:14:41 @ Then He came the third time and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

nkjv@Mark:14:44 @ Now His betrayer had given them a signal, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him and lead Him away safely."

nkjv@Mark:14:45 @ As soon as he had come, immediately he went up to Him and said to Him, "Rabbi, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.

nkjv@Mark:14:46 @ Then they laid their hands on Him and took Him.

nkjv@Mark:14:48 @ Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me?

nkjv@Mark:14:51 @ Now a certain young man followed Him, having a linen cloth thrown around his naked body. And the young men laid hold of him,

nkjv@Mark:14:52 @ and he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.

nkjv@Mark:14:57 @ Then some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying,

nkjv@Mark:14:59 @ But not even then did their testimony agree.

nkjv@Mark:14:60 @ And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, saying, "Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?"

nkjv@Mark:14:61 @ But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

nkjv@Mark:14:62 @ Jesus said, "I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."

nkjv@Mark:14:63 @ Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "What further need do we have of witnesses?

nkjv@Mark:14:65 @ Then some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, "Prophesy!" And the officers struck Him with the palms of their hands.

nkjv@Mark:14:67 @ And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You also were with Jesus of Nazareth."

nkjv@Mark:14:68 @ But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are saying." And he went out on the porch, and a rooster crowed.

nkjv@Mark:14:70 @ But he denied it again. And a little later those who stood by said to Peter again, "Surely you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it."

nkjv@Mark:14:71 @ Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know this Man of whom you speak!"

nkjv@Mark:14:72 @ A second time the rooster crowed. Then Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times." And when he thought about it, he wept.

nkjv@Mark:15:2 @ Then Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He answered and said to him, "It is as you say."

nkjv@Mark:15:4 @ Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, "Do You answer nothing? See how many things they testify against You!"

nkjv@Mark:15:8 @ Then the multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them.

nkjv@Mark:15:10 @ For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.

nkjv@Mark:15:12 @ Pilate answered and said to them again, "What then do you want me to do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?"

nkjv@Mark:15:14 @ Then Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they cried out all the more, "Crucify Him!"

nkjv@Mark:15:16 @ Then the soldiers led Him away into the hall called Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison.

nkjv@Mark:15:19 @ Then they struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him.

nkjv@Mark:15:20 @ And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.

nkjv@Mark:15:21 @ Then they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to bear His cross.

nkjv@Mark:15:23 @ Then they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it.

nkjv@Mark:15:24 @ And when they crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.

nkjv@Mark:15:26 @ And the inscription of His accusation was written above: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

nkjv@Mark:15:32 @ Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Even those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.

nkjv@Mark:15:33 @ Now when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

nkjv@Mark:15:34 @ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"

nkjv@Mark:15:35 @ Some of those who stood by, when they heard that, said, "Look, He is calling for Elijah!"

nkjv@Mark:15:36 @ Then someone ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink, saying, "Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down."

nkjv@Mark:15:38 @ Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

nkjv@Mark:15:39 @ So when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, "Truly this Man was the Son of God!"

nkjv@Mark:15:40 @ There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome,

nkjv@Mark:15:41 @ who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Mark:15:43 @ Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

nkjv@Mark:15:44 @ Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time.

nkjv@Mark:15:45 @ So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

nkjv@Mark:15:46 @ Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

nkjv@Mark:15:47 @ And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.

nkjv@Mark:16:1 @ Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.

nkjv@Mark:16:2 @ Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

nkjv@Mark:16:4 @ But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away--for it was very large.

nkjv@Mark:16:5 @ And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.

nkjv@Mark:16:6 @ But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.

nkjv@Mark:16:8 @ So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

nkjv@Mark:16:9 @ Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.

nkjv@Mark:16:10 @ She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept.

nkjv@Mark:16:11 @ And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.

nkjv@Mark:16:12 @ After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country.

nkjv@Mark:16:13 @ And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.

nkjv@Mark:16:14 @ Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.

nkjv@Mark:16:18 @ they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

nkjv@Mark:16:19 @ So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

nkjv@Mark:16:20 @ And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

nkjv@Luke:1:1 @ Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to set in order a narrative of those things which have been fulfilled among us,

nkjv@Luke:1:7 @ But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years.

nkjv@Luke:1:9 @ according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot fell to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.

nkjv@Luke:1:10 @ And the whole multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense.

nkjv@Luke:1:11 @ Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

nkjv@Luke:1:12 @ And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

nkjv@Luke:1:15 @ For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.

nkjv@Luke:1:16 @ And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.

nkjv@Luke:1:17 @ He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, "to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."

nkjv@Luke:1:19 @ And the angel answered and said to him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings.

nkjv@Luke:1:22 @ But when he came out, he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, for he beckoned to them and remained speechless.

nkjv@Luke:1:25 @ "Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to take away my reproach among people."

nkjv@Luke:1:26 @ Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

nkjv@Luke:1:28 @ And having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!"

nkjv@Luke:1:29 @ But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.

nkjv@Luke:1:30 @ Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

nkjv@Luke:1:33 @ And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end."

nkjv@Luke:1:34 @ Then Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?"

nkjv@Luke:1:36 @ Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.

nkjv@Luke:1:38 @ Then Mary said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.

nkjv@Luke:1:39 @ Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah,

nkjv@Luke:1:40 @ and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.

nkjv@Luke:1:41 @ And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@Luke:1:58 @ When her neighbors and relatives heard how the Lord had shown great mercy to her, they rejoiced with her.

nkjv@Luke:1:64 @ Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, praising God.

nkjv@Luke:1:65 @ Then fear came on all who dwelt around them; and all these sayings were discussed throughout all the hill country of Judea.

nkjv@Luke:4:4 @ But Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."'

nkjv@Luke:4:5 @ Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

nkjv@Luke:4:6 @ And the devil said to Him, "All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

nkjv@Luke:4:8 @ And Jesus answered and said to him, "Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve."'

nkjv@Luke:4:9 @ Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here.

nkjv@Luke:4:10 @ For it is written: "He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you,'

nkjv@Luke:4:12 @ And Jesus answered and said to him, "It has been said, "You shall not tempt the LORD your God."'

nkjv@Luke:4:13 @ Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.

nkjv@Luke:4:14 @ Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region.

nkjv@Luke:4:16 @ So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

nkjv@Luke:4:17 @ And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:

nkjv@Luke:4:18 @ "The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

nkjv@Luke:4:20 @ Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.

nkjv@Luke:4:24 @ Then He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country.

nkjv@Luke:4:25 @ But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land;

nkjv@Luke:4:26 @ but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

nkjv@Luke:4:28 @ So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,

nkjv@Luke:4:30 @ Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way.

nkjv@Luke:4:31 @ Then He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths.

nkjv@Luke:4:35 @ But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!" And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him.

nkjv@Luke:4:36 @ Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, "What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out."

nkjv@Luke:4:37 @ And the report about Him went out into every place in the surrounding region.

nkjv@Luke:4:38 @ Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon's house. But Simon's wife's mother was sick with a high fever, and they made request of Him concerning her.

nkjv@Luke:4:40 @ When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.

nkjv@Luke:4:42 @ Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them;

nkjv@Luke:4:43 @ but He said to them, "I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent."

nkjv@Luke:5:1 @ So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret,

nkjv@Luke:5:2 @ and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets.

nkjv@Luke:5:3 @ Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.

nkjv@Luke:5:4 @ When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, "Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch."

nkjv@Luke:5:6 @ And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.

nkjv@Luke:5:8 @ When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!"

nkjv@Luke:5:9 @ For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken;

nkjv@Luke:5:10 @ and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men."

nkjv@Luke:5:11 @ So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him.

nkjv@Luke:5:12 @ And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."

nkjv@Luke:5:13 @ Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately the leprosy left him.

nkjv@Luke:5:15 @ However, the report went around concerning Him all the more; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.

nkjv@Luke:5:16 @ So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.

nkjv@Luke:5:17 @ Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

nkjv@Luke:5:18 @ Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him.

nkjv@Luke:5:19 @ And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus.

nkjv@Luke:5:20 @ When He saw their faith, He said to him, "Man, your sins are forgiven you."

nkjv@Luke:5:22 @ But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, He answered and said to them, "Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

nkjv@Luke:5:23 @ Which is easier, to say, "Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, "Rise up and walk'?

nkjv@Luke:5:25 @ Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

nkjv@Luke:5:26 @ And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen strange things today!"

nkjv@Luke:5:27 @ After these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, "Follow Me."

nkjv@Luke:5:29 @ Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And there were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them.

nkjv@Luke:5:32 @ I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."

nkjv@Luke:5:33 @ Then they said to Him, "Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?"

nkjv@Luke:5:34 @ And He said to them, "Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?

nkjv@Luke:5:35 @ But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days."

nkjv@Luke:5:36 @ Then He spoke a parable to them: "No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old.

nkjv@Luke:6:1 @ Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first that He went through the grainfields. And His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate them, rubbing them in their hands.

nkjv@Luke:6:3 @ But Jesus answering them said, "Have you not even read this, what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

nkjv@Luke:6:4 @ how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some to those with him, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?"

nkjv@Luke:6:6 @ Now it happened on another Sabbath, also, that He entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there whose right hand was withered.

nkjv@Luke:6:9 @ Then Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy?"

nkjv@Luke:6:10 @ And when He had looked around at them all, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.

nkjv@Luke:6:12 @ Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

nkjv@Luke:6:13 @ And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles:

nkjv@Luke:6:18 @ as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed.

nkjv@Luke:6:19 @ And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.

nkjv@Luke:6:20 @ Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: "Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Luke:6:22 @ Blessed are you when men hate you, And when they exclude you, And revile you, and cast out your name as evil, For the Son of Man's sake.

nkjv@Luke:6:23 @ Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great in heaven, For in like manner their fathers did to the prophets.

nkjv@Luke:6:26 @ Woe to you when all men speak well of you, For so did their fathers to the false prophets.

nkjv@Luke:6:27 @ "But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

nkjv@Luke:6:31 @ And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

nkjv@Luke:6:32 @ "But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

nkjv@Luke:6:33 @ And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

nkjv@Luke:6:34 @ And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back.

nkjv@Luke:6:35 @ But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.

nkjv@Luke:6:37 @ "Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

nkjv@Luke:6:38 @ Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."

nkjv@Luke:6:42 @ Or how can you say to your brother, "Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye.

nkjv@Luke:6:44 @ For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.

nkjv@Luke:6:48 @ He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.

nkjv@Luke:6:49 @ But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great."

nkjv@Luke:7:1 @ Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum.

nkjv@Luke:7:2 @ And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die.

nkjv@Luke:7:3 @ So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Him to come and heal his servant.

nkjv@Luke:7:4 @ And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving,

nkjv@Luke:7:6 @ Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof.

nkjv@Luke:7:7 @ Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.

nkjv@Luke:7:9 @ When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, "I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!"

nkjv@Luke:7:10 @ And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well who had been sick.

nkjv@Luke:7:11 @ Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd.

nkjv@Luke:7:12 @ And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.

nkjv@Luke:7:13 @ When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep."

nkjv@Luke:7:14 @ Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise."

nkjv@Luke:7:15 @ So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.

nkjv@Luke:7:16 @ Then fear came upon all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has risen up among us"; and, "God has visited His people."

nkjv@Luke:7:17 @ And this report about Him went throughout all Judea and all the surrounding region.

nkjv@Luke:7:18 @ Then the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things.

nkjv@Luke:7:19 @ And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to Jesus, saying, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?"

nkjv@Luke:7:20 @ When the men had come to Him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?"'

nkjv@Luke:7:22 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them.

nkjv@Luke:7:23 @ And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me."

nkjv@Luke:7:24 @ When the messengers of John had departed, He began to speak to the multitudes concerning John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

nkjv@Luke:7:25 @ But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings' courts.

nkjv@Luke:7:27 @ This is he of whom it is written: "Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.'

nkjv@Luke:7:28 @ For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."

nkjv@Luke:7:29 @ And when all the people heard Him, even the tax collectors justified God, having been baptized with the baptism of John.

nkjv@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the will of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.

nkjv@Luke:7:31 @ And the Lord said, "To what then shall I liken the men of this generation, and what are they like?

nkjv@Luke:7:32 @ They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying: "We played the flute for you, And you did not dance; We mourned to you, And you did not weep.'

nkjv@Luke:7:34 @ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, "Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'

nkjv@Luke:7:35 @ But wisdom is justified by all her children."

nkjv@Luke:7:36 @ Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee's house, and sat down to eat.

nkjv@Luke:7:37 @ And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil,

nkjv@Luke:7:39 @ Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, "This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner."

nkjv@Luke:7:41 @ "There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

nkjv@Luke:7:42 @ And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?"

nkjv@Luke:7:44 @ Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.

nkjv@Luke:7:47 @ Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."

nkjv@Luke:7:48 @ Then He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."

nkjv@Luke:7:49 @ And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"

nkjv@Luke:7:50 @ Then He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."

nkjv@Luke:8:1 @ Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him,

nkjv@Luke:8:2 @ and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities--Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons,

nkjv@Luke:8:4 @ And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable:

nkjv@Luke:8:5 @ "A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it.

nkjv@Luke:8:8 @ But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold." When He had said these things He cried, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

nkjv@Luke:8:9 @ Then His disciples asked Him, saying, "What does this parable mean?"

nkjv@Luke:8:10 @ And He said, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that "Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.'

nkjv@Luke:8:12 @ Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

nkjv@Luke:8:13 @ But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away.

nkjv@Luke:8:14 @ Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

nkjv@Luke:8:15 @ But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.

nkjv@Luke:8:16 @ "No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light.

nkjv@Luke:8:17 @ For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.

nkjv@Luke:8:18 @ Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him."

nkjv@Luke:8:19 @ Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd.

nkjv@Luke:8:22 @ Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the lake." And they launched out.

nkjv@Luke:8:24 @ And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm.

nkjv@Luke:8:25 @ But He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, "Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!"

nkjv@Luke:8:26 @ Then they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.

nkjv@Luke:8:27 @ And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs.

nkjv@Luke:8:28 @ When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, "What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!"

nkjv@Luke:8:29 @ For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.

nkjv@Luke:8:30 @ Jesus asked him, saying, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion," because many demons had entered him.

nkjv@Luke:8:32 @ Now a herd of many swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them.

nkjv@Luke:8:33 @ Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.

nkjv@Luke:8:34 @ When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.

nkjv@Luke:8:35 @ Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.

nkjv@Luke:8:36 @ They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was healed.

nkjv@Luke:8:37 @ Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. And He got into the boat and returned.

nkjv@Luke:8:38 @ Now the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,

nkjv@Luke:8:39 @ "Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you." And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

nkjv@Luke:8:40 @ So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him.

nkjv@Luke:8:42 @ for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him.

nkjv@Luke:8:43 @ Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any,

nkjv@Luke:8:44 @ came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.

nkjv@Luke:8:45 @ And Jesus said, "Who touched Me?" When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, "Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, "Who touched Me?"'

nkjv@Luke:8:47 @ Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.

nkjv@Luke:8:50 @ But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, "Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well."

nkjv@Luke:8:51 @ When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl.

nkjv@Luke:8:55 @ Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat.

nkjv@Luke:8:56 @ And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.

nkjv@Luke:9:1 @ Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

nkjv@Luke:9:2 @ He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

nkjv@Luke:9:4 @ "Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart.

nkjv@Luke:9:5 @ And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them."

nkjv@Luke:9:6 @ So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

nkjv@Luke:9:7 @ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by Him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

nkjv@Luke:9:8 @ and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

nkjv@Luke:9:10 @ And the apostles, when they had returned, told Him all that they had done. Then He took them and went aside privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

nkjv@Luke:9:11 @ But when the multitudes knew it, they followed Him; and He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.

nkjv@Luke:9:12 @ When the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to Him, "Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding towns and country, and lodge and get provisions; for we are in a deserted place here."

nkjv@Luke:9:14 @ For there were about five thousand men. Then He said to His disciples, "Make them sit down in groups of fifty."

nkjv@Luke:9:16 @ Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

nkjv@Luke:9:17 @ So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them.

nkjv@Luke:9:18 @ And it happened, as He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He asked them, saying, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"

nkjv@Luke:9:19 @ So they answered and said, "John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again."

nkjv@Luke:9:23 @ Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

nkjv@Luke:9:26 @ For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels.

nkjv@Luke:9:28 @ Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.

nkjv@Luke:9:29 @ As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening.

nkjv@Luke:9:30 @ And behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,

nkjv@Luke:9:32 @ But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him.

nkjv@Luke:9:33 @ Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"--not knowing what he said.

nkjv@Luke:9:34 @ While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the cloud.

nkjv@Luke:9:36 @ When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. But they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

nkjv@Luke:9:37 @ Now it happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met Him.

nkjv@Luke:9:38 @ Suddenly a man from the multitude cried out, saying, "Teacher, I implore You, look on my son, for he is my only child.

nkjv@Luke:9:39 @ And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth; and it departs from him with great difficulty, bruising him.

nkjv@Luke:9:41 @ Then Jesus answered and said, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here."

nkjv@Luke:9:42 @ And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father.

nkjv@Luke:9:44 @ "Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men."

nkjv@Luke:9:45 @ But they did not understand this saying, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.

nkjv@Luke:9:46 @ Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest.

nkjv@Luke:9:48 @ and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all will be great."

nkjv@Luke:9:51 @ Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,

nkjv@Luke:9:52 @ and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him.

nkjv@Luke:9:54 @ And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?"

nkjv@Luke:9:56 @ For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them." And they went to another village.

nkjv@Luke:9:57 @ Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, "Lord, I will follow You wherever You go."

nkjv@Luke:9:59 @ Then He said to another, "Follow Me." But he said, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."

nkjv@Luke:10:1 @ After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.

nkjv@Luke:10:2 @ Then He said to them, "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

nkjv@Luke:10:3 @ Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

nkjv@Luke:10:5 @ But whatever house you enter, first say, "Peace to this house.'

nkjv@Luke:10:8 @ Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.

nkjv@Luke:10:10 @ But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

nkjv@Luke:10:13 @ "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

nkjv@Luke:10:16 @ He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me."

nkjv@Luke:10:17 @ Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name."

nkjv@Luke:10:18 @ And He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

nkjv@Luke:10:19 @ Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

nkjv@Luke:10:20 @ Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven."

nkjv@Luke:10:21 @ In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

nkjv@Luke:10:22 @ All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him."

nkjv@Luke:10:23 @ Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see;

nkjv@Luke:10:24 @ for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it."

nkjv@Luke:10:31 @ Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

nkjv@Luke:10:32 @ Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side.

nkjv@Luke:10:33 @ But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion.

nkjv@Luke:10:34 @ So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

nkjv@Luke:10:35 @ On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, "Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.'

nkjv@Luke:10:37 @ And he said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

nkjv@Luke:10:38 @ Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house.

nkjv@Luke:10:42 @ But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."

nkjv@Luke:11:1 @ Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples."

nkjv@Luke:11:26 @ Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first."

nkjv@Luke:11:27 @ And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, "Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!"

nkjv@Luke:11:37 @ And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat.

nkjv@Luke:11:38 @ When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.

nkjv@Luke:16:24 @ "Then he cried and said, "Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.'

nkjv@Luke:16:25 @ But Abraham said, "Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented.

nkjv@Luke:16:26 @ And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.'

nkjv@Luke:16:27 @ "Then he said, "I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,

nkjv@Luke:16:28 @ for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.'

nkjv@Luke:16:30 @ And he said, "No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'

nkjv@Luke:17:1 @ Then He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come!

nkjv@Luke:17:2 @ It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

nkjv@Luke:17:3 @ Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

nkjv@Luke:17:4 @ And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, "I repent,' you shall forgive him."

nkjv@Luke:17:7 @ And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, "Come at once and sit down to eat'?

nkjv@Luke:17:8 @ But will he not rather say to him, "Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink'?

nkjv@Luke:17:10 @ So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, "We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do."'

nkjv@Luke:17:11 @ Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

nkjv@Luke:17:12 @ Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off.

nkjv@Luke:17:14 @ So when He saw them, He said to them, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.

nkjv@Luke:17:15 @ And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God,

nkjv@Luke:17:17 @ So Jesus answered and said, "Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

nkjv@Luke:17:20 @ Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation;

nkjv@Luke:17:22 @ Then He said to the disciples, "The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

nkjv@Luke:17:24 @ For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day.

nkjv@Luke:17:25 @ But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

nkjv@Luke:17:27 @ They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

nkjv@Luke:17:29 @ but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

nkjv@Luke:17:30 @ Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

nkjv@Luke:17:34 @ I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left.

nkjv@Luke:17:35 @ Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left.

nkjv@Luke:17:36 @ Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left."

nkjv@Luke:18:1 @ Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,

nkjv@Luke:18:5 @ yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me."'

nkjv@Luke:18:6 @ Then the Lord said, "Hear what the unjust judge said.

nkjv@Luke:18:7 @ And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?

nkjv@Luke:18:8 @ I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"

nkjv@Luke:18:10 @ "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

nkjv@Luke:18:11 @ The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, "God, I thank You that I am not like other men--extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.

nkjv@Luke:18:13 @ And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, "God, be merciful to me a sinner!'

nkjv@Luke:18:14 @ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

nkjv@Luke:18:15 @ Then they also brought infants to Him that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

nkjv@Luke:18:16 @ But Jesus called them to Him and said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Luke:18:17 @ Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it."

nkjv@Luke:18:20 @ You know the commandments: "Do not commit adultery,' "Do not murder,' "Do not steal,' "Do not bear false witness,' "Honor your father and your mother."'

nkjv@Luke:18:22 @ So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

nkjv@Luke:18:23 @ But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.

nkjv@Luke:18:24 @ And when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, He said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!

nkjv@Luke:18:25 @ For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

nkjv@Luke:18:26 @ And those who heard it said, "Who then can be saved?"

nkjv@Luke:18:27 @ But He said, "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God."

nkjv@Luke:18:28 @ Then Peter said, "See, we have left all and followed You."

nkjv@Luke:18:29 @ So He said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

nkjv@Luke:18:30 @ who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life."

nkjv@Luke:18:31 @ Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be accomplished.

nkjv@Luke:18:32 @ For He will be delivered to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.

nkjv@Luke:18:34 @ But they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know the things which were spoken.

nkjv@Luke:18:35 @ Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging.

nkjv@Luke:18:39 @ Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

nkjv@Luke:18:40 @ So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him,

nkjv@Luke:18:42 @ Then Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well."

nkjv@Luke:18:43 @ And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

nkjv@Luke:19:1 @ Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

nkjv@Luke:19:5 @ And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house."

nkjv@Luke:19:7 @ But when they saw it, they all complained, saying, "He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner."

nkjv@Luke:19:8 @ Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold."

nkjv@Luke:19:12 @ Therefore He said: "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.

nkjv@Luke:19:13 @ So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, "Do business till I come.'

nkjv@Luke:19:14 @ But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, "We will not have this man to reign over us.'

nkjv@Luke:19:15 @ "And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

nkjv@Luke:19:16 @ Then came the first, saying, "Master, your mina has earned ten minas.'

nkjv@Luke:19:17 @ And he said to him, "Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.'

nkjv@Luke:19:20 @ "Then another came, saying, "Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief.

nkjv@Luke:19:23 @ Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?'

nkjv@Luke:19:24 @ "And he said to those who stood by, "Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.'

nkjv@Luke:19:28 @ When He had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Luke:19:29 @ And it came to pass, when He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples,

nkjv@Luke:19:30 @ saying, "Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here.

nkjv@Luke:19:32 @ So those who were sent went their way and found it just as He had said to them.

nkjv@Luke:19:35 @ Then they brought him to Jesus. And they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him.

nkjv@Luke:19:36 @ And as He went, many spread their clothes on the road.

nkjv@Luke:19:37 @ Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen,

nkjv@Luke:19:38 @ saying: ""Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the LORD!' Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"

nkjv@Luke:19:40 @ But He answered and said to them, "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out."

nkjv@Luke:19:42 @ saying, "If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

nkjv@Luke:19:43 @ For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side,

nkjv@Luke:19:44 @ and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation."

nkjv@Luke:19:45 @ Then He went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,

nkjv@Luke:19:46 @ saying to them, "It is written, "My house is a house of prayer,' but you have made it a "den of thieves."'

nkjv@Luke:19:48 @ and were unable to do anything; for all the people were very attentive to hear Him.

nkjv@Luke:20:1 @ Now it happened on one of those days, as He taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel, that the chief priests and the scribes, together with the elders, confronted Him

nkjv@Luke:20:4 @ The baptism of John--was it from heaven or from men?"

nkjv@Luke:20:5 @ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we say, "From heaven,' He will say, "Why then did you not believe him?'

nkjv@Luke:20:6 @ But if we say, "From men,' all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet."

nkjv@Luke:20:9 @ Then He began to tell the people this parable: "A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time.

nkjv@Luke:20:10 @ Now at vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that they might give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vinedressers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

nkjv@Luke:20:11 @ Again he sent another servant; and they beat him also, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.

nkjv@Luke:20:12 @ And again he sent a third; and they wounded him also and cast him out.

nkjv@Luke:20:13 @ "Then the owner of the vineyard said, "What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Probably they will respect him when they see him.'

nkjv@Luke:20:14 @ But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, "This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'

nkjv@Luke:20:16 @ He will come and destroy those vinedressers and give the vineyard to others." And when they heard it they said, "Certainly not!"

nkjv@Luke:20:17 @ Then He looked at them and said, "What then is this that is written: "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone'?

nkjv@Luke:20:18 @ Whoever falls on that stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder."

nkjv@Luke:20:19 @ And the chief priests and the scribes that very hour sought to lay hands on Him, but they feared the people --for they knew He had spoken this parable against them.

nkjv@Luke:20:20 @ So they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might seize on His words, in order to deliver Him to the power and the authority of the governor.

nkjv@Luke:20:21 @ Then they asked Him, saying, "Teacher, we know that You say and teach rightly, and You do not show personal favoritism, but teach the way of God in truth:

nkjv@Luke:20:24 @ Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?" They answered and said, "Caesar's."

nkjv@Luke:20:25 @ And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

nkjv@Luke:20:26 @ But they could not catch Him in His words in the presence of the people. And they marveled at His answer and kept silent.

nkjv@Luke:20:27 @ Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,

nkjv@Luke:20:28 @ saying: "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

nkjv@Luke:20:29 @ Now there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and died without children.

nkjv@Luke:20:31 @ Then the third took her, and in like manner the seven also; and they left no children, and died.

nkjv@Luke:20:33 @ Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife does she become? For all seven had her as wife."

nkjv@Luke:20:34 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

nkjv@Luke:20:35 @ But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

nkjv@Luke:20:37 @ But even Moses showed in the burning bush passage that the dead are raised, when he called the Lord "the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

nkjv@Luke:20:39 @ Then some of the scribes answered and said, "Teacher, You have spoken well."

nkjv@Luke:20:43 @ Till I make Your enemies Your footstool."'

nkjv@Luke:20:44 @ Therefore David calls Him "Lord'; how is He then his Son?"

nkjv@Luke:20:45 @ Then, in the hearing of all the people, He said to His disciples,

nkjv@Luke:20:47 @ who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation."

nkjv@Luke:21:5 @ Then, as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said,

nkjv@Luke:21:7 @ So they asked Him, saying, "Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?"

nkjv@Luke:21:9 @ But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately."

nkjv@Luke:21:10 @ Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

nkjv@Luke:21:11 @ And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.

nkjv@Luke:21:28 @ Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near."

nkjv@Luke:21:29 @ Then He spoke to them a parable: "Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.

nkjv@Luke:21:38 @ Then early in the morning all the people came to Him in the temple to hear Him.

nkjv@Luke:22:1 @ Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called Passover.

nkjv@Luke:22:3 @ Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.

nkjv@Luke:22:4 @ So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them.

nkjv@Luke:22:6 @ So he promised and sought opportunity to betray Him to them in the absence of the multitude.

nkjv@Luke:22:7 @ Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover must be killed.

nkjv@Luke:22:8 @ And He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat."

nkjv@Luke:22:10 @ And He said to them, "Behold, when you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house which he enters.

nkjv@Luke:22:12 @ Then he will show you a large, furnished upper room; there make ready."

nkjv@Luke:22:13 @ So they went and found it just as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

nkjv@Luke:22:14 @ When the hour had come, He sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him.

nkjv@Luke:22:15 @ Then He said to them, "With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;

nkjv@Luke:22:20 @ Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.

nkjv@Luke:22:22 @ And truly the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!"

nkjv@Luke:22:23 @ Then they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.

nkjv@Luke:22:25 @ And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called "benefactors.'

nkjv@Luke:22:32 @ But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren."

nkjv@Luke:22:34 @ Then He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me."

nkjv@Luke:22:35 @ And He said to them, "When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?" So they said, "Nothing."

nkjv@Luke:22:36 @ Then He said to them, "But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.

nkjv@Luke:22:40 @ When He came to the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation."

nkjv@Luke:22:43 @ Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him.

nkjv@Luke:22:44 @ And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

nkjv@Luke:22:45 @ When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow.

nkjv@Luke:22:46 @ Then He said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation."

nkjv@Luke:22:47 @ And while He was still speaking, behold, a multitude; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him.

nkjv@Luke:22:49 @ When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"

nkjv@Luke:22:51 @ But Jesus answered and said, "Permit even this." And He touched his ear and healed him.

nkjv@Luke:22:52 @ Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

nkjv@Luke:22:53 @ When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."

nkjv@Luke:22:55 @ Now when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.

nkjv@Luke:22:56 @ And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, "This man was also with Him."

nkjv@Luke:22:62 @ So Peter went out and wept bitterly.

nkjv@Luke:22:63 @ Now the men who held Jesus mocked Him and beat Him.

nkjv@Luke:22:70 @ Then they all said, "Are You then the Son of God?" So He said to them, "You rightly say that I am."

nkjv@Luke:23:1 @ Then the whole multitude of them arose and led Him to Pilate.

nkjv@Luke:23:3 @ Then Pilate asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He answered him and said, "It is as you say."

nkjv@Luke:23:23 @ But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed.

nkjv@Luke:23:24 @ So Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested.

nkjv@Luke:23:25 @ And he released to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

nkjv@Luke:23:26 @ Now as they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross that he might bear it after Jesus.

nkjv@Luke:23:27 @ And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also mourned and lamented Him.

nkjv@Luke:23:28 @ But Jesus, turning to them, said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

nkjv@Luke:23:29 @ For indeed the days are coming in which they will say, "Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!'

nkjv@Luke:23:30 @ Then they will begin "to say to the mountains, "Fall on us!" and to the hills, "Cover us!"'

nkjv@Luke:23:31 @ For if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?"

nkjv@Luke:23:33 @ And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left.

nkjv@Luke:23:34 @ Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." And they divided His garments and cast lots.

nkjv@Luke:23:35 @ And the people stood looking on. But even the rulers with them sneered, saying, "He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God."

nkjv@Luke:23:38 @ And an inscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

nkjv@Luke:23:39 @ Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, "If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us."

nkjv@Luke:23:40 @ But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

nkjv@Luke:23:42 @ Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom."

nkjv@Luke:23:45 @ Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

nkjv@Luke:23:46 @ And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, "Father, "into Your hands I commit My spirit."' Having said this, He breathed His last.

nkjv@Luke:23:47 @ So when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous Man!"

nkjv@Luke:23:48 @ And the whole crowd who came together to that sight, seeing what had been done, beat their breasts and returned.

nkjv@Luke:23:49 @ But all His acquaintances, and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

nkjv@Luke:23:51 @ He had not consented to their decision and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Luke:23:52 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

nkjv@Luke:23:53 @ Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before.

nkjv@Luke:23:55 @ And the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and they observed the tomb and how His body was laid.

nkjv@Luke:23:56 @ Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.

nkjv@Luke:24:1 @ Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.

nkjv@Luke:24:3 @ Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

nkjv@Luke:24:4 @ And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.

nkjv@Luke:24:5 @ Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?

nkjv@Luke:24:6 @ He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee,

nkjv@Luke:24:7 @ saying, "The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."'

nkjv@Luke:24:9 @ Then they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

nkjv@Luke:24:10 @ It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles.

nkjv@Luke:24:12 @ But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at what had happened.

nkjv@Luke:24:13 @ Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem.

nkjv@Luke:24:14 @ And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

nkjv@Luke:24:15 @ So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them.

nkjv@Luke:24:18 @ Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, "Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not known the things which happened there in these days?"

nkjv@Luke:24:21 @ But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.

nkjv@Luke:24:22 @ Yes, and certain women of our company, who arrived at the tomb early, astonished us.

nkjv@Luke:24:23 @ When they did not find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive.

nkjv@Luke:24:24 @ And certain of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but Him they did not see."

nkjv@Luke:24:25 @ Then He said to them, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

nkjv@Luke:24:26 @ Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?"

nkjv@Luke:24:28 @ Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and He indicated that He would have gone farther.

nkjv@Luke:24:29 @ But they constrained Him, saying, "Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent." And He went in to stay with them.

nkjv@Luke:24:31 @ Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight.

nkjv@Luke:24:32 @ And they said to one another, "Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?"

nkjv@Luke:24:33 @ So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,

nkjv@Luke:24:34 @ saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!"

nkjv@Luke:24:35 @ And they told about the things that had happened on the road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of bread.

nkjv@Luke:24:37 @ But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen a spirit.

nkjv@Luke:24:40 @ When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

nkjv@Luke:24:43 @ And He took it and ate in their presence.

nkjv@Luke:24:44 @ Then He said to them, "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me."

nkjv@Luke:24:45 @ And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.

nkjv@Luke:24:46 @ Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

nkjv@Luke:24:47 @ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

nkjv@Luke:24:49 @ Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high."

nkjv@Luke:24:51 @ Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.

nkjv@Luke:24:53 @ and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen.

nkjv@John:1:4 @ In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

nkjv@John:1:5 @ And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

nkjv@John:1:6 @ There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

nkjv@John:1:8 @ He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

nkjv@John:1:12 @ But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

nkjv@John:1:14 @ And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

nkjv@John:1:17 @ For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

nkjv@John:1:18 @ No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

nkjv@John:1:19 @ Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

nkjv@John:1:20 @ He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ."

nkjv@John:1:21 @ And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."

nkjv@John:1:22 @ Then they said to him, "Who are you, that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?"

nkjv@John:1:24 @ Now those who were sent were from the Pharisees.

nkjv@John:1:25 @ And they asked him, saying, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

nkjv@John:1:32 @ And John bore witness, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.

nkjv@John:1:33 @ I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, "Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

nkjv@John:1:34 @ And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God."

nkjv@John:1:38 @ Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, "What do you seek?" They said to Him, "Rabbi" (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), "where are You staying?"

nkjv@John:1:39 @ He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour).

nkjv@John:1:42 @ And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is translated, A Stone).

nkjv@John:1:48 @ Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

nkjv@John:1:51 @ And He said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man."

nkjv@John:2:3 @ And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine."

nkjv@John:2:6 @ Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece.

nkjv@John:2:9 @ When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.

nkjv@John:2:10 @ And he said to him, "Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!"

nkjv@John:2:12 @ After this He went down to Capernaum, He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days.

nkjv@John:2:13 @ Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@John:2:14 @ And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business.

nkjv@John:2:15 @ When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers' money and overturned the tables.

nkjv@John:2:17 @ Then His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up."

nkjv@John:2:20 @ Then the Jews said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?"

nkjv@John:2:22 @ Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

nkjv@John:2:23 @ Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did.

nkjv@John:2:24 @ But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men,

nkjv@John:3:4 @ Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"

nkjv@John:3:5 @ Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

nkjv@John:3:11 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.

nkjv@John:3:12 @ If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

nkjv@John:3:13 @ No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.

nkjv@John:3:14 @ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

nkjv@John:3:16 @ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

nkjv@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.

nkjv@John:3:18 @ "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

nkjv@John:3:19 @ And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

nkjv@John:3:21 @ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God."

nkjv@John:3:23 @ Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there. And they came and were baptized.

nkjv@John:3:24 @ For John had not yet been thrown into prison.

nkjv@John:3:25 @ Then there arose a dispute between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purification.

nkjv@John:3:27 @ John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.

nkjv@John:3:28 @ You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, "I am not the Christ,' but, "I have been sent before Him.'

nkjv@John:3:29 @ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.

nkjv@John:3:31 @ He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

nkjv@John:3:32 @ And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.

nkjv@John:3:34 @ For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.

nkjv@John:3:35 @ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand.

nkjv@John:4:1 @ Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John

nkjv@John:4:9 @ Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

nkjv@John:4:10 @ Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, "Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

nkjv@John:4:11 @ The woman said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water?

nkjv@John:4:21 @ Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.

nkjv@John:4:23 @ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

nkjv@John:4:25 @ The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When He comes, He will tell us all things."

nkjv@John:4:28 @ The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men,

nkjv@John:4:30 @ Then they went out of the city and came to Him.

nkjv@John:4:34 @ Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.

nkjv@John:4:35 @ Do you not say, "There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!

nkjv@John:4:38 @ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors."

nkjv@John:4:40 @ So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

nkjv@John:4:42 @ Then they said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."

nkjv@John:4:43 @ Now after the two days He departed from there and went to Galilee.

nkjv@John:4:45 @ So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they also had gone to the feast.

nkjv@John:4:47 @ When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

nkjv@John:4:48 @ Then Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe."

nkjv@John:4:50 @ Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your son lives." So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

nkjv@John:4:52 @ Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

nkjv@John:4:54 @ This again is the second sign Jesus did when He had come out of Judea into Galilee.

nkjv@John:5:1 @ After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@John:5:4 @ For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had.

nkjv@John:5:6 @ When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, "Do you want to be made well?"

nkjv@John:5:7 @ The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me."

nkjv@John:5:12 @ Then they asked him, "Who is the Man who said to you, "Take up your bed and walk'?"

nkjv@John:5:14 @ Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you."

nkjv@John:5:17 @ But Jesus answered them, "My Father has been working until now, and I have been working."

nkjv@John:5:19 @ Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

nkjv@John:5:21 @ For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will.

nkjv@John:5:22 @ For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,

nkjv@John:5:23 @ that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

nkjv@John:5:24 @ "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

nkjv@John:5:25 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.

nkjv@John:5:27 @ and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.

nkjv@John:5:30 @ I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

nkjv@John:5:33 @ You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

nkjv@John:5:36 @ But I have a greater witness than John's; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish--the very works that I do--bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.

nkjv@John:5:37 @ And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.

nkjv@John:5:38 @ But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.

nkjv@John:5:41 @ "I do not receive honor from men.

nkjv@John:6:1 @ After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.

nkjv@John:6:2 @ Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased.

nkjv@John:6:3 @ And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.

nkjv@John:6:5 @ Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?"

nkjv@John:6:7 @ Philip answered Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little."

nkjv@John:6:10 @ Then Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

nkjv@John:6:11 @ And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.

nkjv@John:6:12 @ So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost."

nkjv@John:6:13 @ Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

nkjv@John:6:14 @ Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."

nkjv@John:6:15 @ Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.

nkjv@John:6:16 @ Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

nkjv@John:6:17 @ got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

nkjv@John:6:18 @ Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing.

nkjv@John:6:19 @ So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid.

nkjv@John:6:21 @ Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

nkjv@John:6:22 @ On the following day, when the people who were standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except that one which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with His disciples, but His disciples had gone away alone--

nkjv@John:6:23 @ however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks--

nkjv@John:6:24 @ when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they also got into boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

nkjv@John:6:25 @ And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when did You come here?"

nkjv@John:6:27 @ Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him."

nkjv@John:6:28 @ Then they said to Him, "What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?"

nkjv@John:6:29 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent."

nkjv@John:6:30 @ Therefore they said to Him, "What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?

nkjv@John:6:31 @ Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat."'

nkjv@John:6:32 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

nkjv@John:6:33 @ For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

nkjv@John:6:34 @ Then they said to Him, "Lord, give us this bread always."

nkjv@John:6:36 @ But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe.

nkjv@John:6:38 @ For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

nkjv@John:6:39 @ This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.

nkjv@John:6:40 @ And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

nkjv@John:6:41 @ The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven."

nkjv@John:6:42 @ And they said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, "I have come down from heaven'?"

nkjv@John:6:44 @ No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

nkjv@John:6:45 @ It is written in the prophets, "And they shall all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.

nkjv@John:6:46 @ Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father.

nkjv@John:6:50 @ This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.

nkjv@John:6:51 @ I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world."

nkjv@John:6:53 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.

nkjv@John:6:57 @ As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

nkjv@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down from heaven--not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever."

nkjv@John:6:60 @ Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; who can understand it?"

nkjv@John:6:61 @ When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, "Does this offend you?

nkjv@John:6:62 @ What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before?

nkjv@John:6:65 @ And He said, "Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father."

nkjv@John:6:66 @ From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.

nkjv@John:6:67 @ Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?"

nkjv@John:7:4 @ For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world."

nkjv@John:7:5 @ For even His brothers did not believe in Him.

nkjv@John:7:6 @ Then Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

nkjv@John:7:9 @ When He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.

nkjv@John:7:10 @ But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

nkjv@John:7:11 @ Then the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, "Where is He?"

nkjv@John:7:13 @ However, no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews.

nkjv@John:7:14 @ Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

nkjv@John:7:16 @ Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

nkjv@John:7:18 @ He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.

nkjv@John:7:23 @ If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

nkjv@John:7:24 @ Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."

nkjv@John:7:27 @ However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from."

nkjv@John:7:28 @ Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, "You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

nkjv@John:7:29 @ But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me."

nkjv@John:7:31 @ And many of the people believed in Him, and said, "When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?"

nkjv@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him.

nkjv@John:7:33 @ Then Jesus said to them, "I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to Him who sent Me.

nkjv@John:7:35 @ Then the Jews said among themselves, "Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

nkjv@John:7:39 @ But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

nkjv@John:7:40 @ Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, "Truly this is the Prophet."

nkjv@John:7:45 @ Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why have you not brought Him?"

nkjv@John:7:47 @ Then the Pharisees answered them, "Are you also deceived?

nkjv@John:7:52 @ They answered and said to him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for no prophet has arisen out of Galilee."

nkjv@John:7:53 @ And everyone went to his own house.

nkjv@John:8:1 @ But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

nkjv@John:8:3 @ Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst,

nkjv@John:8:7 @ So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first."

nkjv@John:8:9 @ Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

nkjv@John:8:10 @ When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?"

nkjv@John:8:12 @ Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."

nkjv@John:8:14 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.

nkjv@John:8:16 @ And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me.

nkjv@John:8:17 @ It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.

nkjv@John:8:18 @ I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me."

nkjv@John:8:19 @ Then they said to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also."

nkjv@John:8:21 @ Then Jesus said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come."

nkjv@John:8:23 @ And He said to them, "You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

nkjv@John:8:25 @ Then they said to Him, "Who are You?" And Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

nkjv@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 those things which I heard from Him."

nkjv@John:8:28 @ Then Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.

nkjv@John:8:29 @ And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him."

nkjv@John:8:31 @ Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.

nkjv@John:8:33 @ They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, "You will be made free'?"

nkjv@John:8:37 @ "I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

nkjv@John:8:38 @ I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father."

nkjv@John:8:39 @ They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

nkjv@John:8:41 @ You do the deeds of your father." Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father--God."

nkjv@John:8:42 @ Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.

nkjv@John:8:43 @ Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.

nkjv@John:8:44 @ You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

nkjv@John:8:48 @ Then the Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

nkjv@John:8:52 @ Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, "If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.'

nkjv@John:8:57 @ Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"

nkjv@John:8:59 @ Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

nkjv@John:9:2 @ And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

nkjv@John:9:3 @ Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.

nkjv@John:9:4 @ I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.

nkjv@John:9:6 @ When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.

nkjv@John:9:7 @ And He said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

nkjv@John:9:8 @ Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, "Is not this he who sat and begged?"

nkjv@John:9:10 @ Therefore they said to him, "How were your eyes opened?"

nkjv@John:9:11 @ He answered and said, "A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, "Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed, and I received sight."

nkjv@John:9:12 @ Then they said to him, "Where is He?" He said, "I do not know."

nkjv@John:9:14 @ Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

nkjv@John:9:15 @ Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."

nkjv@John:9:17 @ They said to the blind man again, "What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

nkjv@John:9:18 @ But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight.

nkjv@John:9:19 @ And they asked them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"

nkjv@John:9:20 @ His parents answered them and said, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

nkjv@John:9:21 @ but by what means he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself."

nkjv@John:9:22 @ His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that He was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

nkjv@John:9:23 @ Therefore his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."

nkjv@John:9:26 @ Then they said to him again, "What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?"

nkjv@John:9:27 @ He answered them, "I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?"

nkjv@John:9:28 @ Then they reviled him and said, "You are His disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.

nkjv@John:9:30 @ The man answered and said to them, "Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes!

nkjv@John:9:32 @ Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind.

nkjv@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"

nkjv@John:9:37 @ And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you."

nkjv@John:9:38 @ Then he said, "Lord, I believe!" And he worshiped Him.

nkjv@John:9:39 @ And Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind."

nkjv@John:9:40 @ Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, "Are we blind also?"

nkjv@John:10:1 @ "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

nkjv@John:10:2 @ But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

nkjv@John:10:3 @ To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

nkjv@John:10:4 @ And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

nkjv@John:10:7 @ Then Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

nkjv@John:10:9 @ I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

nkjv@John:10:15 @ As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

nkjv@John:10:20 @ And many of them said, "He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?"

nkjv@John:10:21 @ Others said, "These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"

nkjv@John:10:24 @ Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, "How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly."

nkjv@John:10:29 @ My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand.

nkjv@John:10:31 @ Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.

nkjv@John:10:34 @ Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, "I said, "You are gods"'?

nkjv@John:10:35 @ If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),

nkjv@John:10:36 @ do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, "You are blaspheming,' because I said, "I am the Son of God'?

nkjv@John:10:40 @ And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptizing at first, and there He stayed.

nkjv@John:10:41 @ Then many came to Him and said, "John performed no sign, but all the things that John spoke about this Man were true."

nkjv@John:11:3 @ Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, "Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick."

nkjv@John:11:4 @ When Jesus heard that, He said, "This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it."

nkjv@John:11:6 @ So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was.

nkjv@John:11:7 @ Then after this He said to the disciples, "Let us go to Judea again."

nkjv@John:11:11 @ These things He said, and after that He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up."

nkjv@John:11:12 @ Then His disciples said, "Lord, if he sleeps he will get well."

nkjv@John:11:14 @ Then Jesus said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead.

nkjv@John:11:16 @ Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with Him."

nkjv@John:11:17 @ So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.

nkjv@John:11:19 @ And many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

nkjv@John:11:20 @ Now Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house.

nkjv@John:11:21 @ Now Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

nkjv@John:11:22 @ But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You."

nkjv@John:11:28 @ And when she had said these things, she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, "The Teacher has come and is calling for you."

nkjv@John:11:31 @ Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, "She is going to the tomb to weep there."

nkjv@John:11:32 @ Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."

nkjv@John:11:33 @ Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.

nkjv@John:11:36 @ Then the Jews said, "See how He loved him!"

nkjv@John:11:37 @ And some of them said, "Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?"

nkjv@John:11:38 @ Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

nkjv@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."

nkjv@John:11:41 @ Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

nkjv@John:11:42 @ And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me."

nkjv@John:11:43 @ Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"

nkjv@John:11:45 @ Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him.

nkjv@John:11:46 @ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things Jesus did.

nkjv@John:11:47 @ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, "What shall we do? For this Man works many signs.

nkjv@John:11:50 @ nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish."

nkjv@John:11:52 @ and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

nkjv@John:11:53 @ Then, from that day on, they plotted to put Him to death.

nkjv@John:11:54 @ Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there remained with His disciples.

nkjv@John:11:55 @ And the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

nkjv@John:11:56 @ Then they sought Jesus, and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, "What do you think--that He will not come to the feast?"

nkjv@John:11:57 @ Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it, that they might seize Him.

nkjv@John:12:1 @ Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead.

nkjv@John:12:3 @ Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.

nkjv@John:12:5 @ "Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"

nkjv@John:12:11 @ because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

nkjv@John:12:12 @ The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

nkjv@John:12:13 @ took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out: "Hosanna! "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!' The King of Israel!"

nkjv@John:12:14 @ Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:

nkjv@John:12:16 @ His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.

nkjv@John:12:17 @ Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness.

nkjv@John:12:21 @ Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

nkjv@John:12:28 @ Father, glorify Your name." Then a voice came from heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it and will glorify it again."

nkjv@John:12:29 @ Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to Him."

nkjv@John:12:31 @ Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

nkjv@John:12:35 @ Then Jesus said to them, "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.

nkjv@John:12:36 @ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.

nkjv@John:12:38 @ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: "Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?"

nkjv@John:12:40 @ "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them."

nkjv@John:12:41 @ These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

nkjv@John:12:42 @ Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

nkjv@John:12:43 @ for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

nkjv@John:12:44 @ Then Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me.

nkjv@John:12:45 @ And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.

nkjv@John:12:48 @ He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him--the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.

nkjv@John:12:49 @ For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.

nkjv@John:13:1 @ Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

nkjv@John:13:2 @ And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him,

nkjv@John:13:3 @ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,

nkjv@John:13:4 @ rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.

nkjv@John:13:6 @ Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, "Lord, are You washing my feet?"

nkjv@John:13:12 @ So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

nkjv@John:13:14 @ If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

nkjv@John:13:15 @ For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

nkjv@John:13:16 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

nkjv@John:13:18 @ "I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, "He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.'

nkjv@John:13:19 @ Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He.

nkjv@John:13:20 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."

nkjv@John:13:21 @ When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me."

nkjv@John:13:22 @ Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.

nkjv@John:13:25 @ Then, leaning back on Jesus' breast, he said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"

nkjv@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it." And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

nkjv@John:13:27 @ Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."

nkjv@John:13:30 @ Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.

nkjv@John:13:31 @ So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.

nkjv@John:13:33 @ Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, "Where I am going, you cannot come,' so now I say to you.

nkjv@John:13:34 @ A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

nkjv@John:13:38 @ Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not crow till you have denied Me three times.

nkjv@John:14:7 @ "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him."

nkjv@John:14:8 @ Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us."

nkjv@John:14:9 @ Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, "Show us the Father'?

nkjv@John:14:15 @ "If you love Me, keep My commandments.

nkjv@John:14:21 @ He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him."

nkjv@John:14:24 @ He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.

nkjv@John:14:25 @ "These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.

nkjv@John:15:24 @ If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father.

nkjv@John:15:25 @ But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, "They hated Me without a cause.'

nkjv@John:15:26 @ "But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.

nkjv@John:18:1 @ When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples over the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered.

nkjv@John:18:2 @ And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with His disciples.

nkjv@John:18:3 @ Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

nkjv@John:18:4 @ Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, "Whom are you seeking?"

nkjv@John:18:6 @ Now when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground.

nkjv@John:18:7 @ Then He asked them again, "Whom are you seeking?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

nkjv@John:18:10 @ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

nkjv@John:18:11 @ So Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?"

nkjv@John:18:12 @ Then the detachment of troops and the captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him.

nkjv@John:18:14 @ Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

nkjv@John:18:15 @ And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

nkjv@John:18:16 @ But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought Peter in.

nkjv@John:18:17 @ Then the servant girl who kept the door said to Peter, "You are not also one of this Man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not."

nkjv@John:18:19 @ The high priest then asked Jesus about His disciples and His doctrine.

nkjv@John:18:20 @ Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet, and in secret I have said nothing.

nkjv@John:18:22 @ And when He had said these things, one of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, "Do You answer the high priest like that?"

nkjv@John:18:23 @ Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why do you strike Me?"

nkjv@John:18:24 @ Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

nkjv@John:18:25 @ Now Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. Therefore they said to him, "You are not also one of His disciples, are you?" He denied it and said, "I am not!"

nkjv@John:18:26 @ One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with Him?"

nkjv@John:18:27 @ Peter then denied again; and immediately a rooster crowed.

nkjv@John:18:28 @ Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.

nkjv@John:18:29 @ Pilate then went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this Man?"

nkjv@John:18:31 @ Then Pilate said to them, "You take Him and judge Him according to your law." Therefore the Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,"

nkjv@John:18:33 @ Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"

nkjv@John:18:37 @ Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."

nkjv@John:18:38 @ Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no fault in Him at all.

nkjv@John:18:40 @ Then they all cried again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

nkjv@John:19:1 @ So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him.

nkjv@John:19:3 @ Then they said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they struck Him with their hands.

nkjv@John:19:4 @ Pilate then went out again, and said to them, "Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in Him."

nkjv@John:19:5 @ Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, "Behold the Man!"

nkjv@John:19:6 @ Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, "Crucify Him, crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him."

nkjv@John:19:8 @ Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid,

nkjv@John:19:9 @ and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, "Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.

nkjv@John:19:10 @ Then Pilate said to Him, "Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have power to crucify You, and power to release You?"

nkjv@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered, "You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin."

nkjv@John:19:12 @ From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar's friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

nkjv@John:19:13 @ When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

nkjv@John:19:16 @ Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. Then they took Jesus and led Him away.

nkjv@John:19:17 @ And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha,

nkjv@John:19:18 @ where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.

nkjv@John:19:20 @ Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

nkjv@John:19:22 @ Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."

nkjv@John:19:23 @ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.

nkjv@John:19:24 @ They said therefore among themselves, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: "They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots." Therefore the soldiers did these things.

nkjv@John:19:25 @ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

nkjv@John:19:26 @ When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!"

nkjv@John:19:27 @ Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.

nkjv@John:19:30 @ So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

nkjv@John:19:31 @ Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

nkjv@John:19:32 @ Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him.

nkjv@John:19:33 @ But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

nkjv@John:19:35 @ And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe.

nkjv@John:19:36 @ For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, "Not one of His bones shall be broken."

nkjv@John:19:40 @ Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

nkjv@John:19:41 @ Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

nkjv@John:20:1 @ Now the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

nkjv@John:20:2 @ Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."

nkjv@John:20:3 @ Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and were going to the tomb.

nkjv@John:20:5 @ And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he did not go in.

nkjv@John:20:6 @ Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there,

nkjv@John:20:7 @ and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself.

nkjv@John:20:8 @ Then the other disciple, who came to the tomb first, went in also; and he saw and believed.

nkjv@John:20:10 @ Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.

nkjv@John:20:13 @ Then they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him."

nkjv@John:20:14 @ Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.

nkjv@John:20:15 @ Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, "Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away."

nkjv@John:20:17 @ Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, "I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God."'

nkjv@John:20:18 @ Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.

nkjv@John:20:19 @ Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be with you."

nkjv@John:20:20 @ When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

nkjv@John:20:21 @ So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."

nkjv@John:20:22 @ And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@John:20:23 @ If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."

nkjv@John:20:24 @ Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.

nkjv@John:20:25 @ The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord." So he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe."

nkjv@John:20:27 @ Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing."

nkjv@John:20:29 @ Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

nkjv@John:20:30 @ And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book;

nkjv@John:20:31 @ but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

nkjv@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We are going with you also." They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.

nkjv@John:21:4 @ But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

nkjv@John:21:5 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Children, have you any food?" They answered Him, "No."

nkjv@John:21:7 @ Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.

nkjv@John:21:9 @ Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

nkjv@John:21:11 @ Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.

nkjv@John:21:13 @ Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.

nkjv@John:21:15 @ So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Feed My lambs."

nkjv@John:21:16 @ He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Tend My sheep."

nkjv@John:21:18 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish."

nkjv@John:21:19 @ This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, "Follow Me."

nkjv@John:21:20 @ Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?"

nkjv@John:21:23 @ Then this saying went out among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you?"

nkjv@John:21:25 @ And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.

nkjv@Acts:1:2 @ until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen,

nkjv@Acts:1:3 @ to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Acts:1:6 @ Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"

nkjv@Acts:1:8 @ But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

nkjv@Acts:1:9 @ Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.

nkjv@Acts:1:10 @ And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel,

nkjv@Acts:1:11 @ who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."

nkjv@Acts:1:12 @ Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey.

nkjv@Acts:1:13 @ And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James.

nkjv@Acts:1:14 @ These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

nkjv@Acts:1:15 @ And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said,

nkjv@Acts:1:16 @ "Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus;

nkjv@Acts:3:22 @ For Moses truly said to the fathers, "The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you.

nkjv@Acts:3:24 @ Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days.

nkjv@Acts:3:25 @ You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, "And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'

nkjv@Acts:3:26 @ To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities."

nkjv@Acts:4:3 @ And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.

nkjv@Acts:4:4 @ However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

nkjv@Acts:4:7 @ And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, "By what power or by what name have you done this?"

nkjv@Acts:4:8 @ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:

nkjv@Acts:4:9 @ If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well,

nkjv@Acts:4:12 @ Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

nkjv@Acts:4:13 @ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.

nkjv@Acts:4:14 @ And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

nkjv@Acts:4:15 @ But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

nkjv@Acts:4:16 @ saying, "What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

nkjv@Acts:4:17 @ But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name."

nkjv@Acts:4:19 @ But Peter and John answered and said to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge.

nkjv@Acts:4:20 @ For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard."

nkjv@Acts:4:21 @ So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, because of the people, since they all glorified God for what had been done.

nkjv@Acts:4:22 @ For the man was over forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed.

nkjv@Acts:4:23 @ And being let go, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

nkjv@Acts:4:24 @ So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: "Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them,

nkjv@Acts:4:36 @ And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus,

nkjv@Acts:5:5 @ Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things.

nkjv@Acts:5:6 @ And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.

nkjv@Acts:5:7 @ Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

nkjv@Acts:5:9 @ Then Peter said to her, "How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."

nkjv@Acts:5:10 @ Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband.

nkjv@Acts:5:14 @ And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,

nkjv@Acts:5:16 @ Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

nkjv@Acts:5:17 @ Then the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with indignation,

nkjv@Acts:5:21 @ And when they heard that, they entered the temple early in the morning and taught. But the high priest and those with him came and called the council together, with all the elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

nkjv@Acts:5:22 @ But when the officers came and did not find them in the prison, they returned and reported,

nkjv@Acts:5:23 @ saying, "Indeed we found the prison shut securely, and the guards standing outside before the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside!"

nkjv@Acts:5:24 @ Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these things, they wondered what the outcome would be.

nkjv@Acts:5:25 @ So one came and told them, saying, "Look, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!"

nkjv@Acts:5:26 @ Then the captain went with the officers and brought them without violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.

nkjv@Acts:5:27 @ And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,

nkjv@Acts:5:28 @ saying, "Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this Man's blood on us!"

nkjv@Acts:5:29 @ But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: "We ought to obey God rather than men.

nkjv@Acts:5:31 @ Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

nkjv@Acts:5:32 @ And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him."

nkjv@Acts:5:33 @ When they heard this, they were furious and plotted to kill them.

nkjv@Acts:5:34 @ Then one in the council stood up, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in respect by all the people, and commanded them to put the apostles outside for a little while.

nkjv@Acts:5:35 @ And he said to them: "Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do regarding these men.

nkjv@Acts:5:36 @ For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody. A number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was slain, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing.

nkjv@Acts:5:37 @ After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census, and drew away many people after him. He also perished, and all who obeyed him were dispersed.

nkjv@Acts:5:38 @ And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing;

nkjv@Acts:5:39 @ but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it--lest you even be found to fight against God."

nkjv@Acts:5:40 @ And they agreed with him, and when they had called for the apostles and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

nkjv@Acts:5:41 @ So they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name.

nkjv@Acts:6:1 @ Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution.

nkjv@Acts:6:2 @ Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, "It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables.

nkjv@Acts:6:3 @ Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business;

nkjv@Acts:6:5 @ And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch,

nkjv@Acts:6:6 @ whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them.

nkjv@Acts:6:7 @ Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.

nkjv@Acts:6:8 @ And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.

nkjv@Acts:6:9 @ Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen.

nkjv@Acts:6:11 @ Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God."

nkjv@Acts:7:1 @ Then the high priest said, "Are these things so?"

nkjv@Acts:7:2 @ And he said, "Brethren and fathers, listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,

nkjv@Acts:7:4 @ Then he came out of the land of the Chaldeans and dwelt in Haran. And from there, when his father was dead, He moved him to this land in which you now dwell.

nkjv@Acts:7:5 @ And God gave him no inheritance in it, not even enough to set his foot on. But even when Abraham had no child, He promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his descendants after him.

nkjv@Acts:7:6 @ But God spoke in this way: that his descendants would dwell in a foreign land, and that they would bring them into bondage and oppress them four hundred years.

nkjv@Acts:7:8 @ Then He gave him the covenant of circumcision; and so Abraham begot Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot the twelve patriarchs.

nkjv@Acts:7:9 @ "And the patriarchs, becoming envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. But God was with him

nkjv@Acts:7:10 @ and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

nkjv@Acts:7:11 @ Now a famine and great trouble came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers found no sustenance.

nkjv@Acts:7:12 @ But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.

nkjv@Acts:7:14 @ Then Joseph sent and called his father Jacob and all his relatives to him, seventy-five people.

nkjv@Acts:7:15 @ So Jacob went down to Egypt; and he died, he and our fathers.

nkjv@Acts:7:26 @ And the next day he appeared to two of them as they were fighting, and tried to reconcile them, saying, "Men, you are brethren; why do you wrong one another?'

nkjv@Acts:7:29 @ Then, at this saying, Moses fled and became a dweller in the land of Midian, where he had two sons.

nkjv@Acts:7:30 @ "And when forty years had passed, an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush, in the wilderness of Mount Sinai.

nkjv@Acts:7:31 @ When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight; and as he drew near to observe, the voice of the Lord came to him,

nkjv@Acts:7:33 @ "Then the LORD said to him, "Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.

nkjv@Acts:7:55 @ But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,

nkjv@Acts:7:56 @ and said, "Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!"

nkjv@Acts:7:57 @ Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord;

nkjv@Acts:7:59 @ And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."

nkjv@Acts:7:60 @ Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not charge them with this sin." And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

nkjv@Acts:8:1 @ Now Saul was consenting to his death. At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

nkjv@Acts:8:2 @ And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

nkjv@Acts:8:3 @ As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison.

nkjv@Acts:8:4 @ Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word.

nkjv@Acts:8:5 @ Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them.

nkjv@Acts:8:6 @ And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

nkjv@Acts:8:12 @ But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized.

nkjv@Acts:8:13 @ Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done.

nkjv@Acts:8:14 @ Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,

nkjv@Acts:8:15 @ who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@Acts:8:16 @ For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

nkjv@Acts:8:17 @ Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@Acts:8:18 @ And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,

nkjv@Acts:8:22 @ Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.

nkjv@Acts:8:24 @ Then Simon answered and said, "Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me."

nkjv@Acts:8:25 @ So when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

nkjv@Acts:8:27 @ So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,

nkjv@Acts:8:29 @ Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go near and overtake this chariot."

nkjv@Acts:8:32 @ The place in the Scripture which he read was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, So He opened not His mouth.

nkjv@Acts:8:33 @ In His humiliation His justice was taken away, And who will declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth."

nkjv@Acts:8:35 @ Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him.

nkjv@Acts:8:36 @ Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, "See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?"

nkjv@Acts:8:37 @ Then Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."

nkjv@Acts:8:38 @ So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him.

nkjv@Acts:8:39 @ Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing.

nkjv@Acts:9:1 @ Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest

nkjv@Acts:9:2 @ and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:9:3 @ As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven.

nkjv@Acts:9:4 @ Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?"

nkjv@Acts:9:5 @ And he said, "Who are You, Lord?" Then the Lord said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads."

nkjv@Acts:9:6 @ So he, trembling and astonished, said, "Lord, what do You want me to do?" Then the Lord said to him, "Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."

nkjv@Acts:9:7 @ And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one.

nkjv@Acts:9:8 @ Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.

nkjv@Acts:9:12 @ And in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight."

nkjv@Acts:9:13 @ Then Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:9:15 @ But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.

nkjv@Acts:9:17 @ And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

nkjv@Acts:9:19 @ So when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then Saul spent some days with the disciples at Damascus.

nkjv@Acts:9:21 @ Then all who heard were amazed, and said, "Is this not he who destroyed those who called on this name in Jerusalem, and has come here for that purpose, so that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?"

nkjv@Acts:9:22 @ But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this Jesus is the Christ.

nkjv@Acts:9:25 @ Then the disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall in a large basket.

nkjv@Acts:9:26 @ And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, and did not believe that he was a disciple.

nkjv@Acts:9:27 @ But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. And he declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

nkjv@Acts:9:29 @ And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus and disputed against the Hellenists, but they attempted to kill him.

nkjv@Acts:9:30 @ When the brethren found out, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him out to Tarsus.

nkjv@Acts:9:31 @ Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.

nkjv@Acts:9:32 @ Now it came to pass, as Peter went through all parts of the country, that he also came down to the saints who dwelt in Lydda.

nkjv@Acts:9:33 @ There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years and was paralyzed.

nkjv@Acts:9:34 @ And Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed." Then he arose immediately.

nkjv@Acts:9:37 @ But it happened in those days that she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.

nkjv@Acts:9:38 @ And since Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.

nkjv@Acts:9:39 @ Then Peter arose and went with them. When he had come, they brought him to the upper room. And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

nkjv@Acts:9:40 @ But Peter put them all out, and knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, arise." And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up.

nkjv@Acts:9:41 @ Then he gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

nkjv@Acts:10:1 @ There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,

nkjv@Acts:10:2 @ a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always.

nkjv@Acts:10:4 @ And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, "What is it, lord?" So he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.

nkjv@Acts:10:5 @ Now send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter.

nkjv@Acts:10:7 @ And when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those who waited on him continually.

nkjv@Acts:10:8 @ So when he had explained all these things to them, he sent them to Joppa.

nkjv@Acts:10:9 @ The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.

nkjv@Acts:10:10 @ Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance

nkjv@Acts:10:11 @ and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth.

nkjv@Acts:10:14 @ But Peter said, "Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean."

nkjv@Acts:10:16 @ This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.

nkjv@Acts:10:17 @ Now while Peter wondered within himself what this vision which he had seen meant, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate.

nkjv@Acts:10:19 @ While Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men are seeking you.

nkjv@Acts:10:20 @ Arise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them."

nkjv@Acts:10:21 @ Then Peter went down to the men who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, "Yes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason have you come?"

nkjv@Acts:10:22 @ And they said, "Cornelius the centurion, a just man, one who fears God and has a good reputation among all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by a holy angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you."

nkjv@Acts:10:23 @ Then he invited them in and lodged them. On the next day Peter went away with them, and some brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

nkjv@Acts:10:24 @ And the following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, and had called together his relatives and close friends.

nkjv@Acts:10:27 @ And as he talked with him, he went in and found many who had come together.

nkjv@Acts:10:28 @ Then he said to them, "You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

nkjv@Acts:10:29 @ Therefore I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me?"

nkjv@Acts:10:31 @ and said, "Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your alms are remembered in the sight of God.

nkjv@Acts:10:32 @ Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea. When he comes, he will speak to you.'

nkjv@Acts:10:33 @ So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. Now therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things commanded you by God."

nkjv@Acts:10:34 @ Then Peter opened his mouth and said: "In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.

nkjv@Acts:10:46 @ For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered,

nkjv@Acts:10:48 @ And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days.

nkjv@Acts:11:1 @ Now the apostles and brethren who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

nkjv@Acts:11:2 @ And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision contended with him,

nkjv@Acts:11:3 @ saying, "You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!"

nkjv@Acts:11:16 @ Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, "John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'

nkjv@Acts:11:17 @ If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?"

nkjv@Acts:11:18 @ When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life."

nkjv@Acts:11:19 @ Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but the Jews only.

nkjv@Acts:11:20 @ But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.

nkjv@Acts:11:22 @ Then news of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch.

nkjv@Acts:11:23 @ When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord.

nkjv@Acts:11:25 @ Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul.

nkjv@Acts:11:26 @ And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

nkjv@Acts:11:28 @ Then one of them, named Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius Caesar.

nkjv@Acts:11:29 @ Then the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea.

nkjv@Acts:11:30 @ This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

nkjv@Acts:12:2 @ Then he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

nkjv@Acts:12:3 @ And because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also. Now it was during the Days of Unleavened Bread.

nkjv@Acts:12:4 @ So when he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover.

nkjv@Acts:12:6 @ And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison.

nkjv@Acts:12:8 @ Then the angel said to him, "Gird yourself and tie on your sandals"; and so he did. And he said to him, "Put on your garment and follow me."

nkjv@Acts:12:9 @ So he went out and followed him, and did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.

nkjv@Acts:12:10 @ When they were past the first and the second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened to them of its own accord; and they went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.

nkjv@Acts:12:11 @ And when Peter had come to himself, he said, "Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people."

nkjv@Acts:12:12 @ So, when he had considered this, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together praying.

nkjv@Acts:12:14 @ When she recognized Peter's voice, because of her gladness she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter stood before the gate.

nkjv@Acts:12:16 @ Now Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished.

nkjv@Acts:12:17 @ But motioning to them with his hand to keep silent, he declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, "Go, tell these things to James and to the brethren." And he departed and went to another place.

nkjv@Acts:12:18 @ Then, as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.

nkjv@Acts:12:19 @ But when Herod had searched for him and not found him, he examined the guards and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.

nkjv@Acts:12:20 @ Now Herod had been very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; but they came to him with one accord, and having made Blastus the king's personal aide their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food by the king's country.

nkjv@Acts:12:23 @ Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died.

nkjv@Acts:12:25 @ And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their ministry, and they also took with them John whose surname was Mark.

nkjv@Acts:13:1 @ Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

nkjv@Acts:13:3 @ Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away.

nkjv@Acts:13:4 @ So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus.

nkjv@Acts:13:5 @ And when they arrived in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John as their assistant.

nkjv@Acts:13:6 @ Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus,

nkjv@Acts:13:7 @ who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.

nkjv@Acts:13:9 @ Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him

nkjv@Acts:13:10 @ and said, "O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord?

nkjv@Acts:13:11 @ And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time." And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

nkjv@Acts:13:12 @ Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

nkjv@Acts:13:13 @ Now when Paul and his party set sail from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia; and John, departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:13:14 @ But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.

nkjv@Acts:13:15 @ And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Men and brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say on."

nkjv@Acts:13:16 @ Then Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen:

nkjv@Acts:13:17 @ The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He brought them out of it.

nkjv@Acts:13:19 @ And when He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He distributed their land to them by allotment.

nkjv@Acts:13:21 @ And afterward they asked for a king; so God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

nkjv@Acts:13:22 @ And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, "I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.'

nkjv@Acts:13:24 @ after John had first preached, before His coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

nkjv@Acts:13:26 @ "Men and brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of this salvation has been sent.

nkjv@Acts:13:27 @ For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know Him, nor even the voices of the Prophets which are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled them in condemning Him.

nkjv@Acts:13:29 @ Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.

nkjv@Acts:13:31 @ He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.

nkjv@Acts:13:33 @ God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm: "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.'

nkjv@Acts:13:34 @ And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has spoken thus: "I will give you the sure mercies of David.'

nkjv@Acts:13:36 @ "For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption;

nkjv@Acts:13:38 @ Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;

nkjv@Acts:13:40 @ Beware therefore, lest what has been spoken in the prophets come upon you:

nkjv@Acts:13:42 @ So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.

nkjv@Acts:13:43 @ Now when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

nkjv@Acts:13:45 @ But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they opposed the things spoken by Paul.

nkjv@Acts:13:46 @ Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, "It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

nkjv@Acts:13:47 @ For so the Lord has commanded us: "I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth."'

nkjv@Acts:13:48 @ Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.

nkjv@Acts:13:50 @ But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.

nkjv@Acts:14:1 @ Now it happened in Iconium that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed.

nkjv@Acts:14:2 @ But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brethren.

nkjv@Acts:14:5 @ And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to abuse and stone them,

nkjv@Acts:14:8 @ And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother's womb, who had never walked.

nkjv@Acts:14:9 @ This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

nkjv@Acts:14:11 @ Now when the people saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!"

nkjv@Acts:14:13 @ Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, intending to sacrifice with the multitudes.

nkjv@Acts:14:14 @ But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their clothes and ran in among the multitude, crying out

nkjv@Acts:14:15 @ and saying, "Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them,

nkjv@Acts:14:16 @ who in bygone generations allowed all nations to walk in their own ways.

nkjv@Acts:14:17 @ Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness."

nkjv@Acts:14:19 @ Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.

nkjv@Acts:14:20 @ However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

nkjv@Acts:14:21 @ And when they had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

nkjv@Acts:14:22 @ strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, "We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God."

nkjv@Acts:14:23 @ So when they had appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

nkjv@Acts:14:25 @ Now when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

nkjv@Acts:14:26 @ From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had completed.

nkjv@Acts:14:27 @ Now when they had come and gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

nkjv@Acts:15:1 @ And certain men came down from Judea and taught the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."

nkjv@Acts:15:2 @ Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and dispute with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them should go up to Jerusalem, to the apostles and elders, about this question.

nkjv@Acts:15:3 @ So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.

nkjv@Acts:15:4 @ And when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders; and they reported all things that God had done with them.

nkjv@Acts:15:7 @ And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: "Men and brethren, you know that a good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.

nkjv@Acts:15:9 @ and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

nkjv@Acts:15:12 @ Then all the multitude kept silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul declaring how many miracles and wonders God had worked through them among the Gentiles.

nkjv@Acts:15:13 @ And after they had become silent, James answered, saying, "Men and brethren, listen to me:

nkjv@Acts:15:14 @ Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name.

nkjv@Acts:15:15 @ And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:

nkjv@Acts:15:16 @ 'After this I will return And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, And I will set it up;

nkjv@Acts:15:17 @ So that the rest of mankind may seek the LORD. Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name, Says the LORD who does all these things.'

nkjv@Acts:15:19 @ Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God,

nkjv@Acts:15:21 @ For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath."

nkjv@Acts:15:22 @ Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas who was also named Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.

nkjv@Acts:15:23 @ They wrote this, letter by them: The apostles, the elders, and the brethren, To the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: Greetings.

nkjv@Acts:15:24 @ Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, "You must be circumcised and keep the law" --to whom we gave no such commandment--

nkjv@Acts:15:25 @ it seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

nkjv@Acts:15:26 @ men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Acts:15:27 @ We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who will also report the same things by word of mouth.

nkjv@Acts:15:28 @ For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:

nkjv@Acts:15:30 @ So when they were sent off, they came to Antioch; and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.

nkjv@Acts:15:31 @ When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement.

nkjv@Acts:15:32 @ Now Judas and Silas, themselves being prophets also, exhorted and strengthened the brethren with many words.

nkjv@Acts:15:33 @ And after they had stayed there for a time, they were sent back with greetings from the brethren to the apostles.

nkjv@Acts:15:36 @ Then after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us now go back and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing."

nkjv@Acts:15:39 @ Then the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another. And so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus;

nkjv@Acts:15:40 @ but Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of God.

nkjv@Acts:15:41 @ And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.

nkjv@Acts:16:1 @ Then he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain Jewish woman who believed, but his father was Greek.

nkjv@Acts:16:2 @ He was well spoken of by the brethren who were at Lystra and Iconium.

nkjv@Acts:16:4 @ And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, which were determined by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:16:5 @ So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.

nkjv@Acts:16:6 @ Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia.

nkjv@Acts:16:10 @ Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.

nkjv@Acts:16:13 @ And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there.

nkjv@Acts:16:14 @ Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul.

nkjv@Acts:16:15 @ And when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay." So she persuaded us.

nkjv@Acts:16:16 @ Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling.

nkjv@Acts:16:17 @ This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, "These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation."

nkjv@Acts:16:19 @ But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities.

nkjv@Acts:16:20 @ And they brought them to the magistrates, and said, "These men, being Jews, exceedingly trouble our city;

nkjv@Acts:16:22 @ Then the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods.

nkjv@Acts:16:23 @ And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely.

nkjv@Acts:16:24 @ Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

nkjv@Acts:16:25 @ But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

nkjv@Acts:16:26 @ Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed.

nkjv@Acts:16:27 @ And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself.

nkjv@Acts:16:29 @ Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.

nkjv@Acts:16:32 @ Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

nkjv@Acts:16:34 @ Now when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household.

nkjv@Acts:16:35 @ And when it was day, the magistrates sent the officers, saying, "Let those men go."

nkjv@Acts:16:36 @ So the keeper of the prison reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go. Now therefore depart, and go in peace."

nkjv@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us openly, uncondemned Romans, and have thrown us into prison. And now do they put us out secretly? No indeed! Let them come themselves and get us out."

nkjv@Acts:16:38 @ And the officers told these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.

nkjv@Acts:16:39 @ Then they came and pleaded with them and brought them out, and asked them to depart from the city.

nkjv@Acts:16:40 @ So they went out of the prison and entered the house of Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they encouraged them and departed.

nkjv@Acts:17:1 @ Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

nkjv@Acts:17:2 @ Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

nkjv@Acts:17:4 @ And some of them were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and Silas.

nkjv@Acts:17:5 @ But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.

nkjv@Acts:17:6 @ But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, "These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.

nkjv@Acts:17:8 @ And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things.

nkjv@Acts:17:9 @ So when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

nkjv@Acts:17:10 @ Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.

nkjv@Acts:17:12 @ Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men.

nkjv@Acts:17:13 @ But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the crowds.

nkjv@Acts:17:14 @ Then immediately the brethren sent Paul away, to go to the sea; but both Silas and Timothy remained there.

nkjv@Acts:17:15 @ So those who conducted Paul brought him to Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed.

nkjv@Acts:17:16 @ Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols.

nkjv@Acts:17:17 @ Therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and with the Gentile worshipers, and in the marketplace daily with those who happened to be there.

nkjv@Acts:17:18 @ Then certain Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, "What does this babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods," because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.

nkjv@Acts:17:21 @ For all the Athenians and the foreigners who were there spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or to hear some new thing.

nkjv@Acts:17:22 @ Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, "Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious;

nkjv@Acts:17:23 @ for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you:

nkjv@Acts:17:24 @ God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.

nkjv@Acts:17:25 @ Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.

nkjv@Acts:17:26 @ And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,

nkjv@Acts:17:30 @ Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,

nkjv@Acts:17:31 @ because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead."

nkjv@Acts:17:32 @ And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, "We will hear you again on this matter."

nkjv@Acts:17:34 @ However, some men joined him and believed, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

nkjv@Acts:18:1 @ After these things Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth.

nkjv@Acts:18:2 @ And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome); and he came to them.

nkjv@Acts:18:3 @ So, because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked; for by occupation they were tentmakers.

nkjv@Acts:18:5 @ When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

nkjv@Acts:18:6 @ But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, "Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."

nkjv@Acts:18:7 @ And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

nkjv@Acts:18:8 @ Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized.

nkjv@Acts:18:9 @ Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent;

nkjv@Acts:18:12 @ When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat,

nkjv@Acts:18:13 @ saying, "This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law."

nkjv@Acts:18:14 @ And when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrongdoing or wicked crimes, O Jews, there would be reason why I should bear with you.

nkjv@Acts:18:16 @ And he drove them from the judgment seat.

nkjv@Acts:18:17 @ Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But Gallio took no notice of these things.

nkjv@Acts:18:18 @ So Paul still remained a good while. Then he took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. He had his hair cut off at Cenchrea, for he had taken a vow.

nkjv@Acts:18:19 @ And he came to Ephesus, and left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

nkjv@Acts:18:20 @ When they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent,

nkjv@Acts:18:22 @ And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up and greeted the church, he went down to Antioch.

nkjv@Acts:18:23 @ After he had spent some time there, he departed and went over the region of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

nkjv@Acts:18:24 @ Now a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus.

nkjv@Acts:18:25 @ This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John.

nkjv@Acts:18:26 @ So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

nkjv@Acts:18:27 @ And when he desired to cross to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; and when he arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;

nkjv@Acts:19:1 @ And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples

nkjv@Acts:19:2 @ he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" So they said to him, "We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit."

nkjv@Acts:19:3 @ And he said to them, "Into what then were you baptized?" So they said, "Into John's baptism."

nkjv@Acts:19:4 @ Then Paul said, "John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus."

nkjv@Acts:19:5 @ When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

nkjv@Acts:19:6 @ And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

nkjv@Acts:19:7 @ Now the men were about twelve in all.

nkjv@Acts:19:8 @ And he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Acts:19:9 @ But when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and withdrew the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

nkjv@Acts:19:12 @ so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.

nkjv@Acts:19:13 @ Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, "We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches."

nkjv@Acts:19:14 @ Also there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so.

nkjv@Acts:19:16 @ Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

nkjv@Acts:19:21 @ When these things were accomplished, Paul purposed in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."

nkjv@Acts:19:22 @ So he sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, but he himself stayed in Asia for a time.

nkjv@Acts:19:24 @ For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, brought no small profit to the craftsmen.

nkjv@Acts:19:25 @ He called them together with the workers of similar occupation, and said: "Men, you know that we have our prosperity by this trade.

nkjv@Acts:19:27 @ So not only is this trade of ours in danger of falling into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Diana may be despised and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship."

nkjv@Acts:19:28 @ Now when they heard this, they were full of wrath and cried out, saying, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!"

nkjv@Acts:19:30 @ And when Paul wanted to go in to the people, the disciples would not allow him.

nkjv@Acts:19:31 @ Then some of the officials of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him pleading that he would not venture into the theater.

nkjv@Acts:19:33 @ And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander motioned with his hand, and wanted to make his defense to the people.

nkjv@Acts:19:34 @ But when they found out that he was a Jew, all with one voice cried out for about two hours, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!"

nkjv@Acts:19:35 @ And when the city clerk had quieted the crowd, he said: "Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple guardian of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?

nkjv@Acts:19:36 @ Therefore, since these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rashly.

nkjv@Acts:19:37 @ For you have brought these men here who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.

nkjv@Acts:19:38 @ Therefore, if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a case against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them bring charges against one another.

nkjv@Acts:19:41 @ And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.

nkjv@Acts:20:2 @ Now when he had gone over that region and encouraged them with many words, he came to Greece

nkjv@Acts:20:3 @ and stayed three months. And when the Jews plotted against him as he was about to sail to Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.

nkjv@Acts:20:5 @ These men, going ahead, waited for us at Troas.

nkjv@Acts:20:6 @ But we sailed away from Philippi after the Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days joined them at Troas, where we stayed seven days.

nkjv@Acts:20:7 @ Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight.

nkjv@Acts:20:9 @ And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.

nkjv@Acts:20:10 @ But Paul went down, fell on him, and embracing him said, "Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him."

nkjv@Acts:20:11 @ Now when he had come up, had broken bread and eaten, and talked a long while, even till daybreak, he departed.

nkjv@Acts:20:13 @ Then we went ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, there intending to take Paul on board; for so he had given orders, intending himself to go on foot.

nkjv@Acts:20:14 @ And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.

nkjv@Acts:20:16 @ For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the Day of Pentecost.

nkjv@Acts:20:17 @ From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church.

nkjv@Acts:20:18 @ And when they had come to him, he said to them: "You know, from the first day that I came to Asia, in what manner I always lived among you,

nkjv@Acts:20:19 @ serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears and trials which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews;

nkjv@Acts:20:21 @ testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Acts:20:22 @ And see, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,

nkjv@Acts:20:26 @ Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.

nkjv@Acts:20:30 @ Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

nkjv@Acts:20:32 @ "So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

nkjv@Acts:20:36 @ And when he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

nkjv@Acts:20:37 @ Then they all wept freely, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him,

nkjv@Acts:21:1 @ Now it came to pass, that when we had departed from them and set sail, running a straight course we came to Cos, the following day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

nkjv@Acts:21:2 @ And finding a ship sailing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.

nkjv@Acts:21:3 @ When we had sighted Cyprus, we passed it on the left, sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload her cargo.

nkjv@Acts:21:4 @ And finding disciples, we stayed there seven days. They told Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:21:5 @ When we had come to the end of those days, we departed and went on our way; and they all accompanied us, with wives and children, till we were out of the city. And we knelt down on the shore and prayed.

nkjv@Acts:21:6 @ When we had taken our leave of one another, we boarded the ship, and they returned home.

nkjv@Acts:21:7 @ And when we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, greeted the brethren, and stayed with them one day.

nkjv@Acts:21:8 @ On the next day we who were Paul's companions departed and came to Caesarea, and entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

nkjv@Acts:21:11 @ When he had come to us, he took Paul's belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, "So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles."'

nkjv@Acts:21:12 @ Now when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:21:13 @ Then Paul answered, "What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."

nkjv@Acts:21:14 @ So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The will of the Lord be done."

nkjv@Acts:21:15 @ And after those days we packed and went up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:21:16 @ Also some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us and brought with them a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we were to lodge.

nkjv@Acts:21:17 @ And when we had come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

nkjv@Acts:21:18 @ On the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.

nkjv@Acts:21:19 @ When he had greeted them, he told in detail those things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.

nkjv@Acts:21:20 @ And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord. And they said to him, "You see, brother, how many myriads of Jews there are who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law;

nkjv@Acts:21:21 @ but they have been informed about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children nor to walk according to the customs.

nkjv@Acts:21:22 @ What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.

nkjv@Acts:21:23 @ Therefore do what we tell you: We have four men who have taken a vow.

nkjv@Acts:21:24 @ Take them and be purified with them, and pay their expenses so that they may shave their heads, and that all may know that those things of which they were informed concerning you are nothing, but that you yourself also walk orderly and keep the law.

nkjv@Acts:21:25 @ But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written and decided that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality."

nkjv@Acts:21:26 @ Then Paul took the men, and the next day, having been purified with them, entered the temple to announce the expiration of the days of purification, at which time an offering should be made for each one of them.

nkjv@Acts:21:27 @ Now when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and laid hands on him,

nkjv@Acts:21:28 @ crying out, "Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, the law, and this place; and furthermore he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place."

nkjv@Acts:21:29 @ (For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)

nkjv@Acts:21:32 @ He immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. And when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.

nkjv@Acts:21:33 @ Then the commander came near and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and he asked who he was and what he had done.

nkjv@Acts:21:34 @ And some among the multitude cried one thing and some another. So when he could not ascertain the truth because of the tumult, he commanded him to be taken into the barracks.

nkjv@Acts:21:35 @ When he reached the stairs, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob.

nkjv@Acts:21:37 @ Then as Paul was about to be led into the barracks, he said to the commander, "May I speak to you?" He replied, "Can you speak Greek?

nkjv@Acts:21:39 @ But Paul said, "I am a Jew from Tarsus, in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city; and I implore you, permit me to speak to the people."

nkjv@Acts:21:40 @ So when he had given him permission, Paul stood on the stairs and motioned with his hand to the people. And when there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,

nkjv@Acts:22:1 @ "Brethren and fathers, hear my defense before you now."

nkjv@Acts:22:2 @ And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they kept all the more silent. Then he said:

nkjv@Acts:22:4 @ I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women,

nkjv@Acts:22:5 @ as also the high priest bears me witness, and all the council of the elders, from whom I also received letters to the brethren, and went to Damascus to bring in chains even those who were there to Jerusalem to be punished.

nkjv@Acts:22:6 @ "Now it happened, as I journeyed and came near Damascus at about noon, suddenly a great light from heaven shone around me.

nkjv@Acts:22:12 @ "Then a certain Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good testimony with all the Jews who dwelt there,

nkjv@Acts:22:14 @ Then he said, "The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice of His mouth.

nkjv@Acts:22:15 @ For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard.

nkjv@Acts:22:17 @ "Now it happened, when I returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance

nkjv@Acts:22:20 @ And when the blood of Your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by consenting to his death, and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him.'

nkjv@Acts:22:21 @ Then He said to me, "Depart, for I will send you far from here to the Gentiles."'

nkjv@Acts:22:22 @ And they listened to him until this word, and then they raised their voices and said, "Away with such a fellow from the earth, for he is not fit to live!"

nkjv@Acts:22:23 @ Then, as they cried out and tore off their clothes and threw dust into the air,

nkjv@Acts:22:25 @ And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said to the centurion who stood by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and uncondemned?"

nkjv@Acts:22:26 @ When the centurion heard that, he went and told the commander, saying, "Take care what you do, for this man is a Roman."

nkjv@Acts:22:27 @ Then the commander came and said to him, "Tell me, are you a Roman?" He said, "Yes."

nkjv@Acts:22:28 @ The commander answered, "With a large sum I obtained this citizenship." And Paul said, "But I was born a citizen."

nkjv@Acts:22:29 @ Then immediately those who were about to examine him withdrew from him; and the commander was also afraid after he found out that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.

nkjv@Acts:23:1 @ Then Paul, looking earnestly at the council, said, "Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day."

nkjv@Acts:23:3 @ Then Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! For you sit to judge me according to the law, and do you command me to be struck contrary to the law?"

nkjv@Acts:23:5 @ Then Paul said, "I did not know, brethren, that he was the high priest; for it is written, "You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people."'

nkjv@Acts:23:6 @ But when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, "Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!"

nkjv@Acts:23:7 @ And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the assembly was divided.

nkjv@Acts:23:9 @ Then there arose a loud outcry. And the scribes of the Pharisees' party arose and protested, saying, "We find no evil in this man; but if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God."

nkjv@Acts:23:10 @ Now when there arose a great dissension, the commander, fearing lest Paul might be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.

nkjv@Acts:23:12 @ And when it was day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

nkjv@Acts:23:16 @ So when Paul's sister's son heard of their ambush, he went and entered the barracks and told Paul.

nkjv@Acts:23:17 @ Then Paul called one of the centurions to him and said, "Take this young man to the commander, for he has something to tell him."

nkjv@Acts:23:19 @ Then the commander took him by the hand, went aside, and asked privately, "What is it that you have to tell me?"

nkjv@Acts:23:21 @ But do not yield to them, for more than forty of them lie in wait for him, men who have bound themselves by an oath that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him; and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from you."

nkjv@Acts:23:23 @ And he called for two centurions, saying, "Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea at the third hour of the night;

nkjv@Acts:23:26 @ Claudius Lysias, To the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.

nkjv@Acts:23:28 @ And when I wanted to know the reason they accused him, I brought him before their council.

nkjv@Acts:23:30 @ And when it was told me that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him immediately to you, and also commanded his accusers to state before you the charges against him. Farewell.

nkjv@Acts:23:31 @ Then the soldiers, as they were commanded, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

nkjv@Acts:23:32 @ The next day they left the horsemen to go on with him, and returned to the barracks.

nkjv@Acts:23:33 @ When they came to Caesarea and had delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.

nkjv@Acts:23:34 @ And when the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. And when he understood that he was from Cilicia,

nkjv@Acts:23:35 @ he said, "I will hear you when your accusers also have come." And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's Praetorium.

nkjv@Acts:24:1 @ Now after five days Ananias the high priest came down with the elders and a certain orator named Tertullus. These gave evidence to the governor against Paul.

nkjv@Acts:24:2 @ And when he was called upon, Tertullus began his accusation, saying: "Seeing that through you we enjoy great peace, and prosperity is being brought to this nation by your foresight,

nkjv@Acts:24:5 @ For we have found this man a plague, a creator of dissension among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

nkjv@Acts:24:6 @ He even tried to profane the temple, and we seized him, and wanted to judge him according to our law.

nkjv@Acts:24:7 @ But the commander Lysias came by and with great violence took him out of our hands,

nkjv@Acts:24:9 @ And the Jews also assented, maintaining that these things were so.

nkjv@Acts:24:10 @ Then Paul, after the governor had nodded to him to speak, answered: "Inasmuch as I know that you have been for many years a judge of this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself,

nkjv@Acts:24:11 @ because you may ascertain that it is no more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.

nkjv@Acts:24:14 @ But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets.

nkjv@Acts:24:16 @ This being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men.

nkjv@Acts:24:19 @ They ought to have been here before you to object if they had anything against me.

nkjv@Acts:24:21 @ unless it is for this one statement which I cried out, standing among them, "Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged by you this day."'

nkjv@Acts:24:22 @ But when Felix heard these things, having more accurate knowledge of the Way, he adjourned the proceedings and said, "When Lysias the commander comes down, I will make a decision on your case."

nkjv@Acts:24:23 @ So he commanded the centurion to keep Paul and to let him have liberty, and told him not to forbid any of his friends to provide for or visit him.

nkjv@Acts:24:24 @ And after some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.

nkjv@Acts:24:25 @ Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and answered, "Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you."

nkjv@Acts:24:26 @ Meanwhile he also hoped that money would be given him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore he sent for him more often and conversed with him.

nkjv@Acts:25:1 @ Now when Festus had come to the province, after three days he went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:25:2 @ Then the high priest and the chief men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they petitioned him,

nkjv@Acts:25:6 @ And when he had remained among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea. And the next day, sitting on the judgment seat, he commanded Paul to be brought.

nkjv@Acts:25:7 @ When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood about and laid many serious complaints against Paul, which they could not prove,

nkjv@Acts:25:8 @ while he answered for himself, "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended in anything at all."

nkjv@Acts:25:10 @ So Paul said, "I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as you very well know.

nkjv@Acts:25:11 @ For if I am an offender, or have committed anything deserving of death, I do not object to dying; but if there is nothing in these things of which these men accuse me, no one can deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar."

nkjv@Acts:25:12 @ Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar? To Caesar you shall go!"

nkjv@Acts:25:14 @ When they had been there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying: "There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix,

nkjv@Acts:25:15 @ about whom the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, when I was in Jerusalem, asking for a judgment against him.

nkjv@Acts:25:17 @ Therefore when they had come together, without any delay, the next day I sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought in.

nkjv@Acts:25:18 @ When the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation against him of such things as I supposed,

nkjv@Acts:25:21 @ But when Paul appealed to be reserved for the decision of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I could send him to Caesar."

nkjv@Acts:25:22 @ Then Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said, "you shall hear him."

nkjv@Acts:25:23 @ So the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and had entered the auditorium with the commanders and the prominent men of the city, at Festus' command Paul was brought in.

nkjv@Acts:25:24 @ And Festus said: "King Agrippa and all the men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom the whole assembly of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out that he was not fit to live any longer.

nkjv@Acts:25:25 @ But when I found that he had committed nothing deserving of death, and that he himself had appealed to Augustus, I decided to send him.

nkjv@Acts:25:26 @ I have nothing certain to write to my lord concerning him. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the examination has taken place I may have something to write.

nkjv@Acts:25:27 @ For it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to specify the charges against him."

nkjv@Acts:26:1 @ Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You are permitted to speak for yourself." So Paul stretched out his hand and answered for himself:

nkjv@Acts:26:3 @ especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which have to do with the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.

nkjv@Acts:26:4 @ "My manner of life from my youth, which was spent from the beginning among my own nation at Jerusalem, all the Jews know.

nkjv@Acts:26:10 @ This I also did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them.

nkjv@Acts:26:11 @ And I punished them often in every synagogue and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

nkjv@Acts:26:13 @ at midday, O king, along the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who journeyed with me.

nkjv@Acts:26:14 @ And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'

nkjv@Acts:26:16 @ But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you.

nkjv@Acts:26:17 @ I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you,

nkjv@Acts:26:18 @ to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.'

nkjv@Acts:26:19 @ "Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,

nkjv@Acts:26:20 @ but declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance.

nkjv@Acts:26:23 @ that the Christ would suffer, that He would be the first to rise from the dead, and would proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles."

nkjv@Acts:26:24 @ Now as he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, "Paul, you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad!"

nkjv@Acts:26:26 @ For the king, before whom I also speak freely, knows these things; for I am convinced that none of these things escapes his attention, since this thing was not done in a corner.

nkjv@Acts:26:28 @ Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You almost persuade me to become a Christian."

nkjv@Acts:26:30 @ When he had said these things, the king stood up, as well as the governor and Bernice and those who sat with them;

nkjv@Acts:26:31 @ and when they had gone aside, they talked among themselves, saying, "This man is doing nothing deserving of death or chains."

nkjv@Acts:26:32 @ Then Agrippa said to Festus, "This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."

nkjv@Acts:27:1 @ And when it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of the Augustan Regiment.

nkjv@Acts:27:2 @ So, entering a ship of Adramyttium, we put to sea, meaning to sail along the coasts of Asia. Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us.

nkjv@Acts:27:3 @ And the next day we landed at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him liberty to go to his friends and receive care.

nkjv@Acts:27:4 @ When we had put to sea from there, we sailed under the shelter of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

nkjv@Acts:27:5 @ And when we had sailed over the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

nkjv@Acts:27:6 @ There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing to Italy, and he put us on board.

nkjv@Acts:27:7 @ When we had sailed slowly many days, and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to proceed, we sailed under the shelter of Crete off Salmone.

nkjv@Acts:27:8 @ Passing it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

nkjv@Acts:27:9 @ Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised them,

nkjv@Acts:27:10 @ saying, "Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives."

nkjv@Acts:27:11 @ Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul.

nkjv@Acts:27:12 @ And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.

nkjv@Acts:27:13 @ When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete.

nkjv@Acts:27:15 @ So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her drive.

nkjv@Acts:27:17 @ When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven.

nkjv@Acts:27:18 @ And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship.

nkjv@Acts:27:20 @ Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up.

nkjv@Acts:27:21 @ But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said, "Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss.

nkjv@Acts:27:25 @ Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me.

nkjv@Acts:27:27 @ Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were drawing near some land.

nkjv@Acts:27:28 @ And they took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, they took soundings again and found it to be fifteen fathoms.

nkjv@Acts:27:29 @ Then, fearing lest we should run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern, and prayed for day to come.

nkjv@Acts:27:30 @ And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, when they had let down the skiff into the sea, under pretense of putting out anchors from the prow,

nkjv@Acts:27:31 @ Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."

nkjv@Acts:27:32 @ Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the skiff and let it fall off.

nkjv@Acts:27:33 @ And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored them all to take food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day you have waited and continued without food, and eaten nothing.

nkjv@Acts:27:34 @ Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you."

nkjv@Acts:27:35 @ And when he had said these things, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it he began to eat.

nkjv@Acts:27:36 @ Then they were all encouraged, and also took food themselves.

nkjv@Acts:27:37 @ And in all we were two hundred and seventy-six persons on the ship.

nkjv@Acts:27:38 @ So when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship and threw out the wheat into the sea.

nkjv@Acts:27:39 @ When it was day, they did not recognize the land; but they observed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship if possible.

nkjv@Acts:27:41 @ But striking a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.

nkjv@Acts:27:43 @ But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land,

nkjv@Acts:28:1 @ Now when they had escaped, they then found out that the island was called Malta.

nkjv@Acts:28:3 @ But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

nkjv@Acts:28:4 @ So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live."

nkjv@Acts:28:6 @ However, they were expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

nkjv@Acts:28:7 @ In that region there was an estate of the leading citizen of the island, whose name was Publius, who received us and entertained us courteously for three days.

nkjv@Acts:28:8 @ And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and dysentery. Paul went in to him and prayed, and he laid his hands on him and healed him.

nkjv@Acts:28:9 @ So when this was done, the rest of those on the island who had diseases also came and were healed.

nkjv@Acts:28:10 @ They also honored us in many ways; and when we departed, they provided such things as were necessary.

nkjv@Acts:28:14 @ where we found brethren, and were invited to stay with them seven days. And so we went toward Rome.

nkjv@Acts:28:15 @ And from there, when the brethren heard about us, they came to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Three Inns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.

nkjv@Acts:28:16 @ Now when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard; but Paul was permitted to dwell by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

nkjv@Acts:28:17 @ And it came to pass after three days that Paul called the leaders of the Jews together. So when they had come together, he said to them: "Men and brethren, though I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,

nkjv@Acts:28:18 @ who, when they had examined me, wanted to let me go, because there was no cause for putting me to death.

nkjv@Acts:28:19 @ But when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything of which to accuse my nation.

nkjv@Acts:28:21 @ Then they said to him, "We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor have any of the brethren who came reported or spoken any evil of you.

nkjv@Acts:28:22 @ But we desire to hear from you what you think; for concerning this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere."

nkjv@Acts:28:23 @ So when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging, to whom he explained and solemnly testified of the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning till evening.

nkjv@Acts:28:24 @ And some were persuaded by the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.

nkjv@Acts:28:25 @ So when they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had said one word: "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,

nkjv@Acts:28:28 @ "Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it!"

nkjv@Acts:28:29 @ And when he had said these words, the Jews departed and had a great dispute among themselves.

nkjv@Acts:28:30 @ Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him,

nkjv@Acts:28:31 @ preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him.

nkjv@Romans:1:5 @ Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name,

nkjv@Romans:1:8 @ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

nkjv@Romans:1:9 @ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,

nkjv@Romans:1:12 @ that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

nkjv@Romans:1:13 @ Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles.

nkjv@Romans:1:17 @ For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

nkjv@Romans:1:18 @ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

nkjv@Romans:1:20 @ For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

nkjv@Romans:1:21 @ because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

nkjv@Romans:1:25 @ who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

nkjv@Romans:1:26 @ For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

nkjv@Romans:1:27 @ Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, 1men with 1men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

nkjv@Romans:1:28 @ And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

nkjv@Romans:1:29 @ being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,

nkjv@Romans:1:30 @ backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

nkjv@Romans:1:32 @ who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

nkjv@Romans:2:2 @ But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.

nkjv@Romans:2:3 @ And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

nkjv@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

nkjv@Romans:2:5 @ But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

nkjv@Romans:2:6 @ who "will render to each one according to his deeds":

nkjv@Romans:2:7 @ eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;

nkjv@Romans:2:14 @ for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves,

nkjv@Romans:2:15 @ who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them)

nkjv@Romans:2:16 @ in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

nkjv@Romans:2:18 @ and know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

nkjv@Romans:2:19 @ and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

nkjv@Romans:2:24 @ For "the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," as it is written.

nkjv@Romans:2:26 @ Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?

nkjv@Romans:2:27 @ And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, judge you who, even with your written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law?

nkjv@Romans:2:29 @ but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

nkjv@Romans:3:1 @ What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?

nkjv@Romans:3:4 @ Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: "That You may be justified in Your words, And may overcome when You are judged."

nkjv@Romans:3:6 @ Certainly not! For then how will God judge the world?

nkjv@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.

nkjv@Romans:3:10 @ As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one;

nkjv@Romans:3:13 @ "Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit"; "The poison of asps is under their lips";

nkjv@Romans:3:22 @ even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;

nkjv@Romans:3:26 @ to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

nkjv@Romans:3:27 @ Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.

nkjv@Romans:3:29 @ Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also,

nkjv@Romans:3:31 @ Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.

nkjv@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?

nkjv@Romans:4:7 @ "BBlessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered;

nkjv@Romans:4:9 @ Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

nkjv@Romans:4:10 @ How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised.

nkjv@Romans:4:17 @ (as it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations" ) in the presence of Him whom he believed--God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

nkjv@Romans:4:18 @ who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So shall your descendants be."

nkjv@Romans:4:20 @ He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,

nkjv@Romans:4:23 @ Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him,

nkjv@Romans:4:25 @ who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.

nkjv@Romans:5:1 @ Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

nkjv@Romans:5:5 @ Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

nkjv@Romans:5:6 @ For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

nkjv@Romans:5:7 @ For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.

nkjv@Romans:5:9 @ Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

nkjv@Romans:5:10 @ For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

nkjv@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned--

nkjv@Romans:5:13 @ (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

nkjv@Romans:5:14 @ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

nkjv@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man's offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

nkjv@Romans:5:16 @ And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.

nkjv@Romans:5:17 @ For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

nkjv@Romans:5:18 @ Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.

nkjv@Romans:5:19 @ For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous.

nkjv@Romans:5:20 @ Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,

nkjv@Romans:5:21 @ so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

nkjv@Romans:6:1 @ What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

nkjv@Romans:6:4 @ Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

nkjv@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,

nkjv@Romans:6:7 @ For he who has died has been freed from sin.

nkjv@Romans:6:9 @ knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.

nkjv@Romans:6:13 @ And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

nkjv@Romans:6:15 @ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!

nkjv@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

nkjv@Romans:6:18 @ And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

nkjv@Romans:6:19 @ I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.

nkjv@Romans:6:20 @ For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

nkjv@Romans:6:21 @ What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

nkjv@Romans:6:22 @ But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.

nkjv@Romans:7:1 @ Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?

nkjv@Romans:7:3 @ So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man.

nkjv@Romans:7:4 @ Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another--to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.

nkjv@Romans:7:5 @ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death.

nkjv@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.

nkjv@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, "You shall not covet."

nkjv@Romans:7:8 @ But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead.

nkjv@Romans:7:9 @ I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

nkjv@Romans:7:10 @ And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death.

nkjv@Romans:7:11 @ For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.

nkjv@Romans:7:12 @ Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.

nkjv@Romans:7:13 @ Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.

nkjv@Romans:7:16 @ If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good.

nkjv@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.

nkjv@Romans:7:21 @ I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.

nkjv@Romans:7:25 @ I thank God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

nkjv@Romans:8:3 @ For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,

nkjv@Romans:8:4 @ that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

nkjv@Romans:8:7 @ Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

nkjv@Romans:8:8 @ So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

nkjv@Romans:8:12 @ Therefore, brethren, we are debtors--not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

nkjv@Romans:8:16 @ The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

nkjv@Romans:8:17 @ and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

nkjv@Romans:8:18 @ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

nkjv@Romans:8:21 @ because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

nkjv@Romans:8:23 @ Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

nkjv@Romans:8:24 @ For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?

nkjv@Romans:8:29 @ For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

nkjv@Romans:8:31 @ What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

nkjv@Romans:8:34 @ Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

nkjv@Romans:8:36 @ As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."

nkjv@Romans:8:38 @ For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,

nkjv@Romans:9:1 @ I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,

nkjv@Romans:9:3 @ For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh,

nkjv@Romans:9:4 @ who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises;

nkjv@Romans:9:5 @ of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.

nkjv@Romans:9:6 @ But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel,

nkjv@Romans:9:7 @ nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called."

nkjv@Romans:9:8 @ That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.

nkjv@Romans:9:10 @ And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac

nkjv@Romans:9:11 @ (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls),

nkjv@Romans:9:13 @ As it is written, "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated."

nkjv@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not!

nkjv@Romans:9:16 @ So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.

nkjv@Romans:9:18 @ Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.

nkjv@Romans:9:19 @ You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?"

nkjv@Romans:9:22 @ What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,

nkjv@Romans:9:24 @ even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

nkjv@Romans:9:27 @ Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: "Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, The remnant will be saved.

nkjv@Romans:9:29 @ And as Isaiah said before: "Unless the LORD of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We would have become like Sodom, And we would have been made like Gomorrah."

nkjv@Romans:9:30 @ What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness of faith;

nkjv@Romans:9:33 @ As it is written: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, And whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."

nkjv@Romans:10:1 @ Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved.

nkjv@Romans:10:4 @ For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

nkjv@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, "Do not say in your heart, "Who will ascend into heaven?"' (that is, to bring Christ down from above)

nkjv@Romans:10:7 @ or, ""Who will descend into the abyss?"' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

nkjv@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.

nkjv@Romans:10:14 @ How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

nkjv@Romans:10:15 @ And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!"

nkjv@Romans:10:17 @ So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

nkjv@Romans:10:18 @ But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: "Their sound has gone out to all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world."

nkjv@Romans:10:21 @ But to Israel he says: "All day long I have stretched out My hands To a disobedient and contrary people."

nkjv@Romans:11:1 @ I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

nkjv@Romans:11:4 @ But what does the divine response say to him? "I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal."

nkjv@Romans:11:5 @ Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

nkjv@Romans:11:6 @ And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

nkjv@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

nkjv@Romans:11:8 @ Just as it is written: "God has given them a spirit of stupor, Eyes that they should not see And ears that they should not hear, To this very day."

nkjv@Romans:11:9 @ And David says: "Let their table become a snare and a trap, A stumbling block and a recompense to them.

nkjv@Romans:11:10 @ Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see, And bow down their back always."

nkjv@Romans:11:11 @ I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.

nkjv@Romans:11:12 @ Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!

nkjv@Romans:11:13 @ For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

nkjv@Romans:11:17 @ And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,

nkjv@Romans:11:19 @ You will say then, "Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in."

nkjv@Romans:11:20 @ Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear.

nkjv@Romans:11:25 @ For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

nkjv@Romans:11:26 @ And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;

nkjv@Romans:11:27 @ For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins."

nkjv@Romans:11:28 @ Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.

nkjv@Romans:11:30 @ For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,

nkjv@Romans:11:31 @ even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy.

nkjv@Romans:11:32 @ For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.

nkjv@Romans:11:33 @ Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

nkjv@Romans:11:35 @ "Or who has first given to Him And it shall be repaid to him?"

nkjv@Romans:11:36 @ For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

nkjv@Romans:12:1 @ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

nkjv@Romans:12:2 @ And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

nkjv@Romans:12:3 @ For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

nkjv@Romans:12:6 @ Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith;

nkjv@Romans:12:8 @ he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

nkjv@Romans:12:10 @ Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;

nkjv@Romans:12:11 @ not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;

nkjv@Romans:12:12 @ rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;

nkjv@Romans:12:13 @ distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.

nkjv@Romans:12:17 @ Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.

nkjv@Romans:12:18 @ If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.

nkjv@Romans:12:19 @ Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.

nkjv@Romans:12:20 @ Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head."

nkjv@Romans:13:2 @ Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

nkjv@Romans:13:4 @ For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.

nkjv@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake.

nkjv@Romans:13:6 @ For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing.

nkjv@Romans:13:7 @ Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.

nkjv@Romans:13:9 @ For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

nkjv@Romans:13:10 @ Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

nkjv@Romans:13:11 @ And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

nkjv@Romans:13:12 @ The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

nkjv@Romans:13:13 @ Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.

nkjv@Romans:14:9 @ For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

nkjv@Romans:14:10 @ But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

nkjv@Romans:14:11 @ For it is written: "As I live, says the LORD, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God."

nkjv@Romans:14:12 @ So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.

nkjv@Romans:14:16 @ Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil;

nkjv@Romans:14:18 @ For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

nkjv@Romans:14:20 @ Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are pure, but it is evil for the man who eats with offense.

nkjv@Romans:14:21 @ It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.

nkjv@Romans:15:1 @ We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

nkjv@Romans:15:3 @ For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me."

nkjv@Romans:15:4 @ For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

nkjv@Romans:15:5 @ Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,

nkjv@Romans:15:9 @ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: "For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name."

nkjv@Romans:15:10 @ And again he says: "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!"

nkjv@Romans:15:11 @ And again: "Praise the LORD, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!"

nkjv@Romans:15:12 @ And again, Isaiah says: "There shall be a root of Jesse; And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, In Him the Gentiles shall hope."

nkjv@Romans:15:14 @ Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

nkjv@Romans:15:15 @ Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God,

nkjv@Romans:15:16 @ that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, to make the Gentiles obedient--

nkjv@Romans:15:21 @ but as it is written: "To whom He was not announced, they shall see; And those who have not heard shall understand."

nkjv@Romans:15:22 @ For this reason I also have been much hindered from coming to you.

nkjv@Romans:15:24 @ whenever I journey to Spain, I shall come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.

nkjv@Romans:15:27 @ It pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in material things.

nkjv@Romans:15:28 @ Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain.

nkjv@Romans:15:29 @ But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

nkjv@Romans:15:30 @ Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me,

nkjv@Romans:15:33 @ Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

nkjv@Romans:16:1 @ I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea,

nkjv@Romans:16:2 @ that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her in whatever business she has need of you; for indeed she has been a helper of many and of myself also.

nkjv@Romans:16:4 @ who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

nkjv@Romans:16:5 @ Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia to Christ.

nkjv@Romans:16:7 @ Greet Andronicus and Junia, my countrymen and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

nkjv@Romans:16:12 @ Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, who have labored in the Lord. Greet the beloved Persis, who labored much in the Lord.

nkjv@Romans:16:13 @ Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

nkjv@Romans:16:14 @ Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren who are with them.

nkjv@Romans:16:17 @ Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.

nkjv@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil.

nkjv@Romans:16:20 @ And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

nkjv@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow worker, and Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my countrymen, greet you.

nkjv@Romans:16:24 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

nkjv@Romans:16:26 @ but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith--

nkjv@Romans:16:27 @ to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:5 @ that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:6 @ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:8 @ who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:10 @ Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:19 @ For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:25 @ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:28 @ and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:29 @ that no flesh should glory in His presence.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:31 @ that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the LORD."

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:1 @ And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:5 @ that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:7 @ But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory,

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:12 @ Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:1 @ And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able;

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:3 @ for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not carnal?

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:5 @ Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:7 @ So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:14 @ If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:19 @ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness";

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:21 @ Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours:

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:22 @ whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come--all are yours.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:3 @ But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one's praise will come from God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:6 @ Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up on behalf of one against the other.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:11 @ To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:12 @ And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:13 @ being defamed, we entreat. We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this reason I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:21 @ What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles--that a man has his father's wife!

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:4 @ In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:8 @ Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:10 @ Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person.

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:8 @ No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren!

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:3 @ Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:6 @ But I say this as a concession, not as a commandment.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:7 @ For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:8 @ But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am;

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:11 @ But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:19 @ Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:23 @ You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:24 @ Brethren, let each one remain with God in that state in which he was called.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Now concerning virgins: I have no commandment from the Lord; yet I give judgment as one whom the Lord in His mercy has made trustworthy.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I suppose therefore that this is good because of the present distress--that it is good for a man to remain as he is:

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But even if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such will have trouble in the flesh, but I would spare you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:29 @ But this I say, brethren, the time is short, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they had none,

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:34 @ There is a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world--how she may please her husband.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So then he who gives her in marriage does well, but he who does not give her in marriage does better.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But she is happier if she remains as she is, according to my judgment--and I think I also have the Spirit of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:5 @ For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords),

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:7 @ However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:8 @ But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols?

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:12 @ But when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:1 @ Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:3 @ My defense to those who examine me is this:

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who ever goes to war at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk of the flock?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:9 @ For it is written in the law of Moses, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain." Is it oxen God is concerned about?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Or does He say it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written, that he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others are partakers of this right over you, are we not even more? Nevertheless we have not used this right, but endure all things lest we hinder the gospel of Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:14 @ Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have used none of these things, nor have I written these things that it should be done so to me; for it would be better for me to die than that anyone should make my boasting void.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a stewardship.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What is my reward then? That when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my authority in the gospel.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:19 @ For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more;

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:22 @ to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:27 @ But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:1 @ Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:6 @ Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:7 @ And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:8 @ Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell;

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:9 @ nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents;

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:11 @ Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything?

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:20 @ Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:25 @ Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience' sake;

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience' sake; for "the earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness."

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:29 @ "Conscience," I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience?

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:30 @ But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food over which I give thanks?

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:32 @ Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God,

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:33 @ just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:2 @ Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:11 @ Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:12 @ For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:15 @ But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:16 @ But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For first of all, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:20 @ Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:24 @ and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:26 @ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:32 @ But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:33 @ Therefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:34 @ But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:1 @ Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant:

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:5 @ There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:7 @ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:8 @ for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit,

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:10 @ to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free--and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:23 @ And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty,

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:24 @ but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it,

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:31 @ But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:1 @ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:4 @ Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:7 @ bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:10 @ But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:2 @ For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:6 @ But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by revelation, by knowledge, by prophesying, or by teaching?

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:7 @ Even things without life, whether flute or harp, when they make a sound, unless they make a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is piped or played?

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:9 @ So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:12 @ Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:15 @ What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:16 @ Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say?

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:19 @ yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:20 @ Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:21 @ In the law it is written: "With men of other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me," says the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:26 @ How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:28 @ But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:30 @ But if anything is revealed to another who sits by, let the first keep silent.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:31 @ For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:34 @ Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:35 @ And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:37 @ If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:39 @ Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:40 @ Let all things be done decently and in order.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:1 @ Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:5 @ and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:6 @ After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:7 @ After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:8 @ Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:12 @ Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:13 @ But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:14 @ And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:16 @ For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:17 @ And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:18 @ Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:19 @ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:22 @ For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:25 @ For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:26 @ The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:27 @ For "He has put all things under His feet." But when He says "all things are put under Him," it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:28 @ Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Otherwise, what will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why then are they baptized for the dead?

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:39 @ All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:45 @ And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:47 @ The first man was of the earth, 1made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:48 @ As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:49 @ And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:50 @ Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:54 @ So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:56 @ The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also:

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:3 @ And when I come, whomever you approve by your letters I will send to bear your gift to Jerusalem.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:5 @ Now I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia (for I am passing through Macedonia).

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:6 @ And it may be that I will remain, or even spend the winter with you, that you may send me on my journey, wherever I go.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:8 @ But I will tarry in Ephesus until Pentecost.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:9 @ For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:11 @ Therefore let no one despise him. But send him on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brethren.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:12 @ Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brethren, but he was quite unwilling to come at this time; however, he will come when he has a convenient time.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:15 @ I urge you, brethren--you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints--

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:18 @ For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge such men.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:20 @ All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:24 @ My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:6 @ Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:9 @ Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead,

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:11 @ you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the gift granted to us through many.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For we are not writing any other things to you than what you read or understand. Now I trust you will understand, even to the end

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:15 @ And in this confidence I intended to come to you before, that you might have a second benefit--

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No?

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:22 @ who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I make you sorrowful, then who is he who makes me glad but the one who is made sorrowful by me?

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote this very thing to you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow over those from whom I ought to have joy, having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:5 @ But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but all of you to some extent--not to be too severe.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:6 @ This punishment which was inflicted by the majority is sufficient for such a man,

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For to this end I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:10 @ Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:12 @ Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord,

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:16 @ To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things?

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you?

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:2 @ You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men;

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:3 @ clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God,

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:6 @ who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:7 @ But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:13 @ unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:14 @ But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:15 @ But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:16 @ Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:2 @ But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:3 @ But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:9 @ persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed--

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:12 @ So then death is working in us, but life in you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:13 @ And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I believed and therefore I spoke," we also believe and therefore speak,

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:14 @ knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:16 @ Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:17 @ For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:18 @ while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:1 @ For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:2 @ For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:3 @ if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:5 @ Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:6 @ So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:8 @ We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:9 @ Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:12 @ For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity to boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:16 @ Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:18 @ Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:20 @ Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:1 @ We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:3 @ We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:4 @ But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses,

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:5 @ in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings;

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:9 @ as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed;

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:11 @ O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:13 @ Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:16 @ And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people."

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Open your hearts to us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have cheated no one.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For indeed, when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were conflicts, inside were fears.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:8 @ For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it. For I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:9 @ Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:13 @ Therefore we have been comforted in your comfort. And we rejoiced exceedingly more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:14 @ For if in anything I have boasted to him about you, I am not ashamed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting to Titus was found true.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his affections are greater for you as he remembers the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you received him.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:16 @ Therefore I rejoice that I have confidence in you in everything.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:1 @ Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia:

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:4 @ imploring us with much urgency that we would receive the gift and the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:5 @ And not only as we had hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:7 @ But as you abound in everything--in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us--see that you abound in this grace also.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I speak not by commandment, but I am testing the sincerity of your love by the diligence of others.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:13 @ For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened;

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:15 @ As it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack."

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he not only accepted the exhortation, but being more diligent, he went to you of his own accord.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:18 @ And we have sent with him the brother whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches,

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but who was also chosen by the churches to travel with us with this gift, which is administered by us to the glory of the Lord Himself and to show your ready mind,

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:21 @ providing honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And we have sent with them our brother whom we have often proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, because of the great confidence which we have in you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:23 @ If anyone inquires about Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker concerning you. Or if our brethren are inquired about, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:3 @ Yet I have sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this respect, that, as I said, you may be ready;

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:4 @ lest if some Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you!) should be ashamed of this confident boasting.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:5 @ Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren to go to you ahead of time, and prepare your generous gift beforehand, which you had previously promised, that it may be ready as a matter of generosity and not as a grudging obligation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:8 @ And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:9 @ As it is written: "He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever."

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:13 @ while, through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men,

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:1 @ Now I, Paul, myself am pleading with you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ--who in presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:2 @ But I beg you that when I am present I may not be bold with that confidence by which I intend to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:5 @ casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:6 @ and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ's, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he is Christ's, even so we are Christ's.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For even if I should boast somewhat more about our authority, which the Lord gave us for edification and not for your destruction, I shall not be ashamed--

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:10 @ "For his letters," they say, "are weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible."

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such we will also be in deed when we are present.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:12 @ For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we are not overextending ourselves (as though our authority did not extend to you), for it was to you that we came with the gospel of Christ;

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:15 @ not boasting of things beyond measure, that is, in other men's labors, but having hope, that as your faith is increased, we shall be greatly enlarged by you in our sphere,

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:16 @ to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's sphere of accomplishment.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:18 @ For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:2 @ For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted--you may well put up with it!

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:5 @ For I consider that I am not at all inferior to the most eminent apostles.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:6 @ Even though I am untrained in speech, yet I am not in knowledge. But we have been thoroughly manifested among you in all things.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was present with you, and in need, I was a burden to no one, for what I lacked the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:15 @ Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they ministers of Christ?--I speak as a fool--I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:25 @ Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep;

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:26 @ in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:27 @ in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness--

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:32 @ In Damascus the governor, under Aretas the king, was guarding the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desiring to arrest me;

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a one was caught up to the third heaven.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:9 @ And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:10 @ Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have become a fool in boasting; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the most eminent apostles, though I am nothing.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong!

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Now for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be burdensome to you; for I do not seek yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:15 @ And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But be that as it may, I did not burden you. Nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you by cunning!

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:17 @ Did I take advantage of you by any of those whom I sent to you?

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I urged Titus, and sent our brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps?

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, backbitings, whisperings, conceits, tumults;

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:21 @ lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned before and have not repented of the uncleanness, fornication, and lewdness which they have practiced.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I have told you before, and foretell as if I were present the second time, and now being absent I write to those who have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare--

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:9 @ For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. And this also we pray, that you may be made complete.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:10 @ Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the authority which the Lord has given me for edification and not for destruction.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:14 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

nkjv@Galatians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead),

nkjv@Galatians:1:2 @ and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia:

nkjv@Galatians:1:4 @ who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

nkjv@Galatians:1:5 @ to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

nkjv@Galatians:1:6 @ I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,

nkjv@Galatians:1:8 @ But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

nkjv@Galatians:1:10 @ For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:1:11 @ But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

nkjv@Galatians:1:15 @ But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through His grace,

nkjv@Galatians:1:16 @ to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,

nkjv@Galatians:1:17 @ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

nkjv@Galatians:1:18 @ Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days.

nkjv@Galatians:1:21 @ Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

nkjv@Galatians:2:1 @ Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and also took Titus with me.

nkjv@Galatians:2:2 @ And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of reputation, lest by any means I might run, or had run, in vain.

nkjv@Galatians:2:3 @ Yet not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

nkjv@Galatians:2:4 @ And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in (who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage),

nkjv@Galatians:2:5 @ to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

nkjv@Galatians:2:6 @ But from those who seemed to be something--whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows personal favoritism to no man--for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me.

nkjv@Galatians:2:7 @ But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised had been committed to me, as the gospel for the circumcised was to Peter

nkjv@Galatians:2:8 @ (for He who worked effectively in Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised also worked effectively in me toward the Gentiles),

nkjv@Galatians:2:9 @ and when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

nkjv@Galatians:2:11 @ Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed;

nkjv@Galatians:2:12 @ for before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

nkjv@Galatians:2:13 @ And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

nkjv@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews?

nkjv@Galatians:2:15 @ We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

nkjv@Galatians:2:16 @ knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

nkjv@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

nkjv@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain."

nkjv@Galatians:3:8 @ And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, "In you all the nations shall be blessed."

nkjv@Galatians:3:9 @ So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

nkjv@Galatians:3:10 @ For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them."

nkjv@Galatians:3:11 @ But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for "the just shall live by faith."

nkjv@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree" ),

nkjv@Galatians:3:14 @ that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

nkjv@Galatians:3:15 @ Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man's covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it.

nkjv@Galatians:3:17 @ And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect.

nkjv@Galatians:3:19 @ What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.

nkjv@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.

nkjv@Galatians:3:22 @ But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

nkjv@Galatians:3:29 @ And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

nkjv@Galatians:4:3 @ Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world.

nkjv@Galatians:4:4 @ But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

nkjv@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!"

nkjv@Galatians:4:7 @ Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:4:8 @ But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods.

nkjv@Galatians:4:9 @ But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?

nkjv@Galatians:4:12 @ Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you. You have not injured me at all.

nkjv@Galatians:4:14 @ And my trial which was in my flesh you did not despise or reject, but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Galatians:4:15 @ What then was the blessing you enjoyed? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me.

nkjv@Galatians:4:16 @ Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?

nkjv@Galatians:4:18 @ But it is good to be zealous in a good thing always, and not only when I am present with you.

nkjv@Galatians:4:19 @ My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you,

nkjv@Galatians:4:20 @ I would like to be present with you now and to change my tone; for I have doubts about you.

nkjv@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman.

nkjv@Galatians:4:24 @ which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar--

nkjv@Galatians:4:25 @ for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children--

nkjv@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written: "Rejoice, O barren, You who do not bear! Break forth and shout, You who are not in labor! For the desolate has many more children Than she who has a husband."

nkjv@Galatians:4:28 @ Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.

nkjv@Galatians:4:29 @ But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.

nkjv@Galatians:4:31 @ So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.

nkjv@Galatians:5:1 @ Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

nkjv@Galatians:5:4 @ You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

nkjv@Galatians:5:9 @ A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

nkjv@Galatians:5:10 @ I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.

nkjv@Galatians:5:11 @ And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the cross has ceased.

nkjv@Galatians:5:12 @ I could wish that those who trouble you would even cut themselves off!

nkjv@Galatians:5:13 @ For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

nkjv@Galatians:5:14 @ For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

nkjv@Galatians:5:16 @ I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

nkjv@Galatians:5:19 @ Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,

nkjv@Galatians:5:20 @ idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,

nkjv@Galatians:5:21 @ envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Galatians:5:23 @ gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

nkjv@Galatians:5:26 @ Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

nkjv@Galatians:6:1 @ Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

nkjv@Galatians:6:2 @ Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:6:3 @ For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

nkjv@Galatians:6:4 @ But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

nkjv@Galatians:6:11 @ See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand!

nkjv@Galatians:6:13 @ For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

nkjv@Galatians:6:14 @ But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

nkjv@Galatians:6:18 @ Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

nkjv@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

nkjv@Ephesians:1:7 @ In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

nkjv@Ephesians:1:8 @ which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

nkjv@Ephesians:1:10 @ that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth--in Him.

nkjv@Ephesians:1:16 @ do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:

nkjv@Ephesians:1:18 @ the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

nkjv@Ephesians:1:20 @ which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

nkjv@Ephesians:2:2 @ in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,

nkjv@Ephesians:2:3 @ among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

nkjv@Ephesians:2:5 @ even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

nkjv@Ephesians:2:6 @ and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

nkjv@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

nkjv@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh--who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands--

nkjv@Ephesians:2:12 @ that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

nkjv@Ephesians:2:13 @ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

nkjv@Ephesians:2:14 @ For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation,

nkjv@Ephesians:2:15 @ having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace,

nkjv@Ephesians:2:16 @ and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.

nkjv@Ephesians:2:19 @ Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,

nkjv@Ephesians:3:1 @ For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles--

nkjv@Ephesians:3:2 @ if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you,

nkjv@Ephesians:3:3 @ how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already,

nkjv@Ephesians:3:4 @ by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ),

nkjv@Ephesians:3:5 @ which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets:

nkjv@Ephesians:3:6 @ that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,

nkjv@Ephesians:3:7 @ of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power.

nkjv@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

nkjv@Ephesians:3:9 @ and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;

nkjv@Ephesians:3:10 @ to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places,

nkjv@Ephesians:3:12 @ in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.

nkjv@Ephesians:3:15 @ from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

nkjv@Ephesians:3:16 @ that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

nkjv@Ephesians:4:3 @ endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:7 @ But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:8 @ Therefore He says: "When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men."

nkjv@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:8 @ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

nkjv@Ephesians:5:12 @ For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:22 @ whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our affairs, and that he may comfort your hearts.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:23 @ Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:24 @ Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

nkjv@Philippians:1:6 @ being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

nkjv@Philippians:1:7 @ just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace.

nkjv@Philippians:1:9 @ And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

nkjv@Philippians:1:10 @ that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ,

nkjv@Philippians:1:12 @ But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel,

nkjv@Philippians:1:13 @ so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ;

nkjv@Philippians:1:14 @ and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

nkjv@Philippians:1:15 @ Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill:

nkjv@Philippians:1:17 @ but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.

nkjv@Philippians:1:18 @ What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.

nkjv@Philippians:1:23 @ For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

nkjv@Philippians:1:25 @ And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith,

nkjv@Philippians:1:27 @ Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,

nkjv@Philippians:1:29 @ For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,

nkjv@Philippians:2:7 @ but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.

nkjv@Philippians:2:8 @ And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

nkjv@Philippians:2:9 @ Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,

nkjv@Philippians:2:10 @ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,

nkjv@Philippians:2:12 @ Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

nkjv@Philippians:2:15 @ that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

nkjv@Philippians:2:19 @ But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your state.

nkjv@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know his proven character, that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel.

nkjv@Philippians:2:23 @ Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me.

nkjv@Philippians:2:25 @ Yet I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, but your messenger and the one who ministered to my need;

nkjv@Philippians:2:28 @ Therefore I sent him the more eagerly, that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less sorrowful.

nkjv@Philippians:2:29 @ Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such men in esteem;

nkjv@Philippians:3:1 @ Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.

nkjv@Philippians:3:3 @ For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,

nkjv@Philippians:3:4 @ though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so:

nkjv@Philippians:3:5 @ circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

nkjv@Philippians:3:8 @ Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ

nkjv@Philippians:3:13 @ Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,

nkjv@Philippians:3:15 @ Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.

nkjv@Philippians:3:17 @ Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.

nkjv@Philippians:3:18 @ For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

nkjv@Philippians:3:19 @ whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame--who set their mind on earthly things.

nkjv@Philippians:3:20 @ For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

nkjv@Philippians:3:21 @ who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.

nkjv@Philippians:4:1 @ Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved.

nkjv@Philippians:4:3 @ And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.

nkjv@Philippians:4:5 @ Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

nkjv@Philippians:4:8 @ Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.

nkjv@Philippians:4:11 @ Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:

nkjv@Philippians:4:13 @ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

nkjv@Philippians:4:15 @ Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only.

nkjv@Philippians:4:16 @ For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities.

nkjv@Philippians:4:18 @ Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

nkjv@Philippians:4:20 @ Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

nkjv@Philippians:4:21 @ Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.

nkjv@Philippians:4:23 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

nkjv@Colossians:1:2 @ To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Colossians:1:5 @ because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

nkjv@Colossians:1:11 @ strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;

nkjv@Colossians:1:14 @ in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

nkjv@Colossians:1:16 @ For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

nkjv@Colossians:1:18 @ And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

nkjv@Colossians:1:20 @ and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

nkjv@Colossians:1:21 @ And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled

nkjv@Colossians:1:22 @ in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight--

nkjv@Colossians:1:23 @ if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

nkjv@Colossians:1:25 @ of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God,

nkjv@Colossians:1:26 @ the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints.

nkjv@Colossians:1:27 @ To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

nkjv@Colossians:1:28 @ Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Colossians:1:29 @ To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.

nkjv@Colossians:2:1 @ For I want you to know what a great conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh,

nkjv@Colossians:2:2 @ that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,

nkjv@Colossians:2:3 @ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

nkjv@Colossians:2:5 @ For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

nkjv@Colossians:2:7 @ rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

nkjv@Colossians:2:8 @ Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

nkjv@Colossians:2:13 @ And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,

nkjv@Colossians:2:14 @ having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

nkjv@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

nkjv@Colossians:2:19 @ and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.

nkjv@Colossians:2:22 @ which all concern things which perish with the using--according to the commandments and doctrines of men?

nkjv@Colossians:2:23 @ These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

nkjv@Colossians:3:1 @ If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.

nkjv@Colossians:3:3 @ For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

nkjv@Colossians:3:4 @ When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

nkjv@Colossians:3:6 @ Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience,

nkjv@Colossians:3:7 @ in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.

nkjv@Colossians:3:10 @ and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,

nkjv@Colossians:3:12 @ Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

nkjv@Colossians:3:13 @ bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.

nkjv@Colossians:3:20 @ Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.

nkjv@Colossians:3:21 @ Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

nkjv@Colossians:3:22 @ Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God.

nkjv@Colossians:3:23 @ And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,

nkjv@Colossians:4:1 @ Masters, give your bondservants what is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

nkjv@Colossians:4:3 @ meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains,

nkjv@Colossians:4:8 @ I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,

nkjv@Colossians:4:9 @ with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all things which are happening here.

nkjv@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

nkjv@Colossians:4:15 @ Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas and the church that is in his house.

nkjv@Colossians:4:16 @ Now when this epistle is read among you, see that it is read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.

nkjv@Colossians:4:18 @ This salutation by my own hand--Paul. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For you yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ But even after we had suffered before and were spitefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; for laboring night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ as you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But we, brethren, having been taken away from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored more eagerly to see your face with great desire.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ Therefore we wanted to come to you--even I, Paul, time and again--but Satan hindered us.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ Therefore, when we could no longer endure it, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, and our fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you and encourage you concerning your faith,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For, in fact, we told you before when we were with you that we would suffer tribulation, just as it happened, and you know.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor might be in vain.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ therefore, brethren, in all our affliction and distress we were comforted concerning you by your faith.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sake before our God,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God;

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God;

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ and indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, that you increase more and more;

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:19 @ Do not quench the Spirit.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:25 @ Brethren, pray for us.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:26 @ Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:28 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer;

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:8 @ in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:9 @ These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:16 @ Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and will do the things we command you.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:5 @ Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ nor did we eat anyone's bread free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:15 @ Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:18 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

nkjv@1Timothy:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope,

nkjv@1Timothy:1:3 @ As I urged you when I went into Macedonia--remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

nkjv@1Timothy:1:4 @ nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.

nkjv@1Timothy:1:5 @ Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith,

nkjv@1Timothy:1:12 @ And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry,

nkjv@1Timothy:1:13 @ although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

nkjv@1Timothy:1:17 @ Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

nkjv@1Timothy:1:20 @ of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.

nkjv@1Timothy:2:1 @ Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,

nkjv@1Timothy:2:7 @ for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle--I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying--a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

nkjv@1Timothy:2:8 @ I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting;

nkjv@1Timothy:2:9 @ in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,

nkjv@1Timothy:2:10 @ but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.

nkjv@1Timothy:2:11 @ Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.

nkjv@1Timothy:2:12 @ And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.

nkjv@1Timothy:2:13 @ For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

nkjv@1Timothy:3:2 @ A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach;

nkjv@1Timothy:3:3 @ not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;

nkjv@1Timothy:3:4 @ one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence

nkjv@1Timothy:3:8 @ Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money,

nkjv@1Timothy:3:10 @ But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless.

nkjv@1Timothy:3:11 @ Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.

nkjv@1Timothy:3:12 @ Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

nkjv@1Timothy:3:16 @ And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:2 @ speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,

nkjv@1Timothy:4:6 @ If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:10 @ For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:13 @ Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:14 @ Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:15 @ Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:1 @ Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers,

nkjv@1Timothy:5:2 @ older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:4 @ But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and to repay their parents; for this is good and acceptable before God.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:8 @ But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:9 @ Do not let a widow under sixty years old be taken into the number, and not unless she has been the wife of one man,

nkjv@1Timothy:5:10 @ well reported for good works: if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has diligently followed every good work.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:11 @ But refuse the younger widows; for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,

nkjv@1Timothy:5:14 @ Therefore I desire that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:16 @ If any believing man or woman has widows, let them relieve them, and do not let the church be burdened, that it may relieve those who are really widows.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:20 @ Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:23 @ No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:24 @ Some men's sins are clearly evident, preceding them to judgment, but those of some men follow later.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:25 @ Likewise, the good works of some are clearly evident, and those that are otherwise cannot be hidden.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:2 @ And those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren, but rather serve them because those who are benefited are believers and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:3 @ If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness,

nkjv@1Timothy:6:4 @ he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,

nkjv@1Timothy:6:5 @ useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:6 @ Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:8 @ And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:9 @ But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:11 @ But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:12 @ Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:14 @ that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ's appearing,

nkjv@1Timothy:6:15 @ which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords,

nkjv@1Timothy:6:16 @ who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:17 @ Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:21 @ by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:3 @ I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day,

nkjv@2Timothy:1:5 @ when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:7 @ For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:9 @ who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,

nkjv@2Timothy:1:10 @ but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

nkjv@2Timothy:1:11 @ to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:15 @ This you know, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:16 @ The Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain;

nkjv@2Timothy:1:17 @ but when he arrived in Rome, he sought me out very zealously and found me.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:2 @ And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:3 @ You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:4 @ No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:9 @ for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:10 @ Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:12 @ If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:13 @ If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:15 @ Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:17 @ And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort,

nkjv@2Timothy:2:23 @ But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:24 @ And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,

nkjv@2Timothy:2:25 @ in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth,

nkjv@2Timothy:2:26 @ and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.

nkjv@2Timothy:3:2 @ For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

nkjv@2Timothy:3:5 @ having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

nkjv@2Timothy:3:6 @ For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

nkjv@2Timothy:3:8 @ Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith;

nkjv@2Timothy:3:11 @ persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra--what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me.

nkjv@2Timothy:3:13 @ But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

nkjv@2Timothy:3:14 @ But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,

nkjv@2Timothy:3:16 @ All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

nkjv@2Timothy:4:3 @ For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;

nkjv@2Timothy:4:5 @ But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:9 @ Be diligent to come to me quickly;

nkjv@2Timothy:4:10 @ for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica--Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:12 @ And Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:13 @ Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas when you come--and the books, especially the parchments.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:16 @ At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:17 @ But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:18 @ And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!

nkjv@2Timothy:4:21 @ Do your utmost to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, as well as Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:22 @ The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

nkjv@Titus:1:6 @ if a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination.

nkjv@Titus:1:7 @ For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money,

nkjv@Titus:1:9 @ holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict.

nkjv@Titus:1:14 @ not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth.

nkjv@Titus:1:15 @ To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.

nkjv@Titus:1:16 @ They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.

nkjv@Titus:2:2 @ that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

nkjv@Titus:2:3 @ the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things--

nkjv@Titus:2:4 @ that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

nkjv@Titus:2:5 @ to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

nkjv@Titus:2:6 @ Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded,

nkjv@Titus:2:7 @ in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility,

nkjv@Titus:2:8 @ sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.

nkjv@Titus:2:9 @ Exhort bondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back,

nkjv@Titus:2:11 @ For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

nkjv@Titus:2:12 @ teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,

nkjv@Titus:3:2 @ to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.

nkjv@Titus:3:3 @ For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

nkjv@Titus:3:4 @ But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,

nkjv@Titus:3:5 @ not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

nkjv@Titus:3:7 @ that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

nkjv@Titus:3:8 @ This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

nkjv@Titus:3:9 @ But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless.

nkjv@Titus:3:12 @ When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

nkjv@Titus:3:13 @ Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey with haste, that they may lack nothing.

nkjv@Titus:3:14 @ And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful.

nkjv@Titus:3:15 @ All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.

nkjv@Philemon:1:1 @ Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved friend and fellow laborer,

nkjv@Philemon:1:4 @ I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers,

nkjv@Philemon:1:6 @ that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Philemon:1:7 @ For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.

nkjv@Philemon:1:10 @ I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains,

nkjv@Philemon:1:12 @ I am sending him back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,

nkjv@Philemon:1:14 @ But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary.

nkjv@Philemon:1:17 @ If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me.

nkjv@Philemon:1:19 @ I, Paul, am writing with my own hand. I will repay--not to mention to you that you owe me even your own self besides.

nkjv@Philemon:1:21 @ Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.

nkjv@Philemon:1:25 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

nkjv@Hebrews:1:2 @ has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;

nkjv@Hebrews:1:3 @ who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

nkjv@Hebrews:1:4 @ having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

nkjv@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to which of the angels did He ever say: "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You"? And again: "I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son"?

nkjv@Hebrews:1:6 @ But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: "Let all the angels of God worship Him."

nkjv@Hebrews:1:10 @ And: "You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.

nkjv@Hebrews:1:11 @ They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment;

nkjv@Hebrews:1:13 @ But to which of the angels has He ever said: "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool"?

nkjv@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?

nkjv@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,

nkjv@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

nkjv@Hebrews:2:11 @ For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

nkjv@Hebrews:2:12 @ saying: "I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You."

nkjv@Hebrews:2:13 @ And again: "I will put My trust in Him." And again: "Here am I and the children whom God has given Me."

nkjv@Hebrews:2:14 @ Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

nkjv@Hebrews:2:17 @ Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:1 @ Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,

nkjv@Hebrews:3:3 @ For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:5 @ And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward,

nkjv@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:8 @ Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness,

nkjv@Hebrews:3:10 @ Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, "They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My ways.'

nkjv@Hebrews:3:11 @ So I swore in My wrath, "They shall not enter My rest."'

nkjv@Hebrews:3:12 @ Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;

nkjv@Hebrews:3:13 @ but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,

nkjv@Hebrews:3:15 @ while it is said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."

nkjv@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?

nkjv@Hebrews:3:19 @ So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: "So I swore in My wrath, "They shall not enter My rest,"' although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:4 @ For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works";

nkjv@Hebrews:4:5 @ and again in this place: "They shall not enter My rest."

nkjv@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience,

nkjv@Hebrews:4:7 @ again He designates a certain day, saying in David, "Today," after such a long time, as it has been said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts."

nkjv@Hebrews:4:8 @ For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:10 @ For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:11 @ Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:12 @ For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:13 @ And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:14 @ Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:1 @ For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:5 @ So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him: "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You."

nkjv@Hebrews:5:7 @ who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear,

nkjv@Hebrews:5:8 @ though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:9 @ And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

nkjv@Hebrews:5:14 @ But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:1 @ Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:2 @ of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:6 @ if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:7 @ For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God;

nkjv@Hebrews:6:8 @ but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:9 @ But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:11 @ And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:12 @ that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:13 @ For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:15 @ And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:16 @ For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:19 @ This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:20 @ where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:2 @ to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated "king of righteousness," and then also king of Salem, meaning "king of peace,"

nkjv@Hebrews:7:3 @ without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:4 @ Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:5 @ And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham;

nkjv@Hebrews:7:6 @ but he whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:8 @ Here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:9 @ Even Levi, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, so to speak,

nkjv@Hebrews:7:10 @ for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:13 @ For He of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no man has officiated at the altar.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:15 @ And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest

nkjv@Hebrews:7:16 @ who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:18 @ For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness,

nkjv@Hebrews:7:21 @ (for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him: "The LORD has sworn And will not relent, "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek"'),

nkjv@Hebrews:7:22 @ by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:23 @ Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:26 @ For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens;

nkjv@Hebrews:7:27 @ who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people's, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:1 @ Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

nkjv@Hebrews:8:5 @ who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, "See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain."

nkjv@Hebrews:8:6 @ But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:7 @ For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:8 @ Because finding fault with them, He says: "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah--

nkjv@Hebrews:8:9 @ not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the LORD.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:10 @ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:13 @ In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:1 @ Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:4 @ which had the golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;

nkjv@Hebrews:9:6 @ Now when these things had been thus prepared, the priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle, performing the services.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:7 @ But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the people's sins committed in ignorance;

nkjv@Hebrews:9:9 @ It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience--

nkjv@Hebrews:9:12 @ Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:14 @ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

nkjv@Hebrews:9:15 @ And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:18 @ Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:19 @ For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

nkjv@Hebrews:9:20 @ saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you."

nkjv@Hebrews:9:21 @ Then likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:23 @ Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

nkjv@Hebrews:9:25 @ not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another--

nkjv@Hebrews:9:26 @ He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:27 @ And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,

nkjv@Hebrews:10:2 @ For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:5 @ Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then I said, "Behold, I have come-- In the volume of the book it is written of Me-- To do Your will, O God."'

nkjv@Hebrews:10:9 @ then He said, "Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God." He takes away the first that He may establish the second.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:10 @ By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:13 @ from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:16 @ "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,"

nkjv@Hebrews:10:17 @ then He adds, "Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more."

nkjv@Hebrews:10:19 @ Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,

nkjv@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:27 @ but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:29 @ Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

nkjv@Hebrews:10:30 @ For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. And again, "The LORD will judge His people."

nkjv@Hebrews:10:32 @ But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:

nkjv@Hebrews:10:34 @ for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:35 @ Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:36 @ For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:

nkjv@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, "and was not found, because God had taken him"; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:6 @ But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:8 @ By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise;

nkjv@Hebrews:11:11 @ By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:13 @ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:16 @ But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

nkjv@Hebrews:11:19 @ concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:21 @ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's command.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:24 @ By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

nkjv@Hebrews:11:25 @ choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,

nkjv@Hebrews:11:27 @ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:30 @ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:31 @ By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:34 @ quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received their dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:36 @ Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:37 @ They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented--

nkjv@Hebrews:11:38 @ of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:1 @ Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

nkjv@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:3 @ For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:5 @ And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: "My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;

nkjv@Hebrews:12:6 @ For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives."

nkjv@Hebrews:12:7 @ If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?

nkjv@Hebrews:12:8 @ But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:11 @ Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:12 @ Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees,

nkjv@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:19 @ and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:23 @ to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

nkjv@Hebrews:12:24 @ to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:25 @ See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven,

nkjv@Hebrews:12:26 @ whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven."

nkjv@Hebrews:12:27 @ Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:28 @ Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:2 @ Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:5 @ Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

nkjv@Hebrews:13:7 @ Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:18 @ Pray for us; for we are confident that we have a good conscience, in all things desiring to live honorably.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:20 @ Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

nkjv@Hebrews:13:23 @ Know that our brother Timothy has been set free, with whom I shall see you if he comes shortly.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:25 @ Grace be with you all. Amen.

nkjv@James:1:2 @ My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,

nkjv@James:1:3 @ knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

nkjv@James:1:4 @ But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

nkjv@James:1:5 @ If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

nkjv@James:1:6 @ But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

nkjv@James:1:11 @ For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits.

nkjv@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

nkjv@James:1:13 @ Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.

nkjv@James:1:14 @ But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.

nkjv@James:1:15 @ Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

nkjv@James:1:16 @ Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

nkjv@James:1:19 @ So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

nkjv@James:2:1 @ My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality.

nkjv@James:2:3 @ and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, "You sit here in a good place," and say to the poor man, "You stand there," or, "Sit here at my footstool,"

nkjv@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

nkjv@James:2:13 @ For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

nkjv@James:2:14 @ What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?

nkjv@James:2:19 @ You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble!

nkjv@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?

nkjv@James:2:23 @ And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God.

nkjv@James:2:24 @ You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

nkjv@James:2:25 @ Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

nkjv@James:3:1 @ My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.

nkjv@James:3:4 @ Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires.

nkjv@James:3:5 @ Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles!

nkjv@James:3:7 @ For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind.

nkjv@James:3:9 @ With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God.

nkjv@James:3:10 @ Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.

nkjv@James:3:11 @ Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening?

nkjv@James:3:12 @ Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.

nkjv@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.

nkjv@James:3:15 @ This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.

nkjv@James:3:16 @ For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

nkjv@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

nkjv@James:4:3 @ You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

nkjv@James:4:4 @ Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

nkjv@James:4:9 @ Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.

nkjv@James:4:11 @ Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.

nkjv@James:4:13 @ Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit";

nkjv@James:4:14 @ whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

nkjv@James:5:2 @ Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.

nkjv@James:5:5 @ You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter.

nkjv@James:5:7 @ Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.

nkjv@James:5:8 @ You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

nkjv@James:5:9 @ Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!

nkjv@James:5:10 @ My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience.

nkjv@James:5:11 @ Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord--that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

nkjv@James:5:12 @ But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your "Yes" be "Yes," and your "No," "No," lest you fall into judgment.

nkjv@James:5:15 @ And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

nkjv@James:5:16 @ Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

nkjv@James:5:18 @ And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.

nkjv@1Peter:5:12 @ By Silvanus, our faithful brother as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.

nkjv@1Peter:5:14 @ Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

nkjv@2Peter:1:3 @ as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

nkjv@2Peter:1:4 @ by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

nkjv@2Peter:1:5 @ But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,

nkjv@2Peter:1:8 @ For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Peter:1:9 @ For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

nkjv@2Peter:1:10 @ Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;

nkjv@2Peter:1:11 @ for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Peter:1:12 @ For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth.

nkjv@2Peter:1:13 @ Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,

nkjv@2Peter:1:14 @ knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

nkjv@2Peter:1:15 @ Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease.

nkjv@2Peter:1:16 @ For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

nkjv@2Peter:1:17 @ For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

nkjv@2Peter:1:18 @ And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

nkjv@2Peter:1:21 @ for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@2Peter:2:1 @ But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.

nkjv@2Peter:2:3 @ By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

nkjv@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;

nkjv@2Peter:2:5 @ and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly;

nkjv@2Peter:2:8 @ (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)--

nkjv@2Peter:2:9 @ then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,

nkjv@2Peter:2:14 @ having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children.

nkjv@2Peter:2:15 @ They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

nkjv@2Peter:2:18 @ For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error.

nkjv@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.

nkjv@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.

nkjv@2Peter:2:22 @ But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: "A dog returns to his own vomit," and, "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire."

nkjv@2Peter:3:2 @ that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,

nkjv@2Peter:3:5 @ For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water,

nkjv@2Peter:3:6 @ by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.

nkjv@2Peter:3:7 @ But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

nkjv@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

nkjv@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

nkjv@2Peter:3:12 @ looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

nkjv@2Peter:3:13 @ Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

nkjv@2Peter:3:14 @ Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;

nkjv@2Peter:3:15 @ and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation--as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,

nkjv@2Peter:3:18 @ but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

nkjv@1John:1:1 @ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life--

nkjv@1John:1:2 @ the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us--

nkjv@1John:1:3 @ that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1John:2:1 @ My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

nkjv@1John:2:3 @ Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.

nkjv@1John:2:4 @ He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

nkjv@1John:2:7 @ Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.

nkjv@1John:2:8 @ Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

nkjv@1John:2:12 @ I write to you, little children, Because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake.

nkjv@1John:2:13 @ I write to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, Because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, Because you have known the Father.

nkjv@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the wicked one.

nkjv@1John:2:18 @ Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.

nkjv@1John:2:19 @ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

nkjv@1John:2:21 @ I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

nkjv@1John:2:22 @ Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

nkjv@1John:2:23 @ Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

nkjv@1John:2:26 @ These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you.

nkjv@1John:2:28 @ And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

nkjv@1John:3:1 @ Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

nkjv@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

nkjv@1John:3:6 @ Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.

nkjv@1John:3:7 @ Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

nkjv@1John:3:9 @ Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

nkjv@1John:3:10 @ In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

nkjv@1John:3:13 @ Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you.

nkjv@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death.

nkjv@1John:3:16 @ By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

nkjv@1John:3:18 @ My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

nkjv@1John:3:21 @ Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.

nkjv@1John:3:22 @ And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

nkjv@1John:3:23 @ And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

nkjv@1John:3:24 @ Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

nkjv@1John:4:4 @ You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

nkjv@1John:4:9 @ In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

nkjv@1John:4:10 @ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

nkjv@1John:4:12 @ No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.

nkjv@1John:4:13 @ By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

nkjv@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.

nkjv@1John:4:17 @ Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.

nkjv@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

nkjv@1John:4:20 @ If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

nkjv@1John:4:21 @ And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.

nkjv@1John:5:1 @ Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.

nkjv@1John:5:2 @ By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.

nkjv@1John:5:3 @ For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

nkjv@1John:5:7 @ For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.

nkjv@1John:5:9 @ If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son.

nkjv@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.

nkjv@1John:5:11 @ And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

nkjv@1John:5:13 @ These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

nkjv@1John:5:14 @ Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

nkjv@1John:5:18 @ We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.

nkjv@1John:5:20 @ And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

nkjv@1John:5:21 @ Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

nkjv@2John:1:1 @ The Elder, To the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have known the truth,

nkjv@2John:1:4 @ I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.

nkjv@2John:1:5 @ And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.

nkjv@2John:1:6 @ This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

nkjv@2John:1:13 @ The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.

nkjv@3John:1:3 @ For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth.

nkjv@3John:1:4 @ I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

nkjv@3John:1:5 @ Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers,

nkjv@3John:1:6 @ who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well,

nkjv@3John:1:7 @ because they went forth for His name's sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

nkjv@3John:1:9 @ I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us.

nkjv@3John:1:10 @ Therefore, if I come, I will call to mind his deeds which he does, prating against us with malicious words. And not content with that, he himself does not receive the brethren, and forbids those who wish to, putting them out of the church.

nkjv@3John:1:11 @ Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.

nkjv@3John:1:13 @ I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink;

nkjv@3John:1:14 @ but I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace to you. Our friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.

nkjv@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

nkjv@Jude:1:4 @ For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Jude:1:6 @ And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;

nkjv@Jude:1:7 @ as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

nkjv@Jude:1:9 @ Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"

nkjv@Jude:1:14 @ Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints,

nkjv@Jude:1:15 @ to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."

nkjv@Jude:1:17 @ But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:

nkjv@Jude:1:19 @ These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.

nkjv@Jude:1:23 @ but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.

nkjv@Jude:1:24 @ Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,

nkjv@Jude:1:25 @ To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

nkjv@Revelation:1:1 @ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants--things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John,
