nkjv@Joshua:1:2 @ "Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them--the children of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:1:4 @ From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory.

nkjv@Joshua:1:6 @ Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

nkjv@Joshua:1:8 @ This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

nkjv@Joshua:1:11 @ "Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, "Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God is giving you to possess."'

nkjv@Joshua:1:13 @ "Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, "The LORD your God is giving you rest and is giving you this land.'

nkjv@Joshua:1:14 @ Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But you shall pass before your brethren armed, all your mighty men of valor, and help them,

nkjv@Joshua:1:15 @ until the LORD has given your brethren rest, as He gave you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the LORD your God is giving them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD's servant gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sunrise."

nkjv@Joshua:2:14 @ So the men answered her, "Our lives for yours, if none of you tell this business of ours. And it shall be, when the LORD has given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you."

nkjv@Joshua:2:17 @ So the men said to her: "We will be blameless of this oath of yours which you have made us swear,

nkjv@Joshua:2:18 @ unless, when we come into the land, you bind this line of scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father's household to your own home.

nkjv@Joshua:2:19 @ So it shall be that whoever goes outside the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we will be guiltless. And whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head if a hand is laid on him.

nkjv@Joshua:2:20 @ And if you tell this business of ours, then we will be free from your oath which you made us swear."

nkjv@Joshua:3:4 @ Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not passed this way before."

nkjv@Joshua:3:7 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.

nkjv@Joshua:3:10 @ And Joshua said, "By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Hivites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Jebusites:

nkjv@Joshua:4:5 @ and Joshua said to them: "Cross over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of the Jordan, and each one of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel,

nkjv@Joshua:4:6 @ that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, "What do these stones mean to you?'

nkjv@Joshua:4:9 @ Then Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood; and they are there to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:4:14 @ On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life.

nkjv@Joshua:4:22 @ then you shall let your children know, saying, "Israel crossed over this Jordan on dry land';

nkjv@Joshua:5:4 @ And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: All the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they had come out of Egypt.

nkjv@Joshua:5:9 @ Then the LORD said to Joshua, "This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:5:13 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, "Are You for us or for our adversaries?"

nkjv@Joshua:5:14 @ So He said, "No, but as Commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, "What does my Lord say to His servant?"

nkjv@Joshua:6:3 @ You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days.

nkjv@Joshua:6:25 @ And Joshua spared Rahab the harlot, her father's household, and all that she had. So she dwells in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

nkjv@Joshua:6:26 @ Then Joshua charged them at that time, saying, "Cursed be the man before the LORD who rises up and builds this city Jericho; he shall lay its foundation with his firstborn, and with his youngest he shall set up its gates."

nkjv@Joshua:6:27 @ So the LORD was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout all the country.

nkjv@Joshua:7:6 @ Then Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the LORD until evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads.

nkjv@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said, "Alas, Lord GOD, why have You brought this people over the Jordan at all--to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Oh, that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan!

nkjv@Joshua:7:18 @ Then he brought his household man by man, and Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

nkjv@Joshua:7:20 @ And Achan answered Joshua and said, "Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and this is what I have done:

nkjv@Joshua:7:22 @ So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and there it was, hidden in his tent, with the silver under it.

nkjv@Joshua:7:24 @ Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them to the Valley of Achor.

nkjv@Joshua:7:25 @ And Joshua said, "Why have you troubled us? The LORD will trouble you this day." So all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.

nkjv@Joshua:7:26 @ Then they raised over him a great heap of stones, still there to this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called the Valley of Achor to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:8:1 @ Now the LORD said to Joshua: "Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.

nkjv@Joshua:8:14 @ Now it happened, when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hurried and rose early and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at an appointed place before the plain. But he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

nkjv@Joshua:8:18 @ Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Stretch out the spear that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand." And Joshua stretched out the spear that was in his hand toward the city.

nkjv@Joshua:8:19 @ So those in ambush arose quickly out of their place; they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and they entered the city and took it, and hurried to set the city on fire.

nkjv@Joshua:8:20 @ And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and behold, the smoke of the city ascended to heaven. So they had no power to flee this way or that way, and the people who had fled to the wilderness turned back on the pursuers.

nkjv@Joshua:8:22 @ Then the others came out of the city against them; so they were caught in the midst of Israel, some on this side and some on that side. And they struck them down, so that they let none of them remain or escape.

nkjv@Joshua:8:26 @ For Joshua did not draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

nkjv@Joshua:8:28 @ So Joshua burned Ai and made it a heap forever, a desolation to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:8:29 @ And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until evening. And as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his corpse down from the tree, cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raise over it a great heap of stones that remains to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:9:1 @ And it came to pass when all the kings who were on this side of the Jordan, in the hills and in the lowland and in all the coasts of the Great Sea toward Lebanon--the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite--heard about it,

nkjv@Joshua:9:9 @ So they said to him: "From a very far country your servants have come, because of the name of the LORD your God; for we have heard of His fame, and all that He did in Egypt,

nkjv@Joshua:9:12 @ This bread of ours we took hot for our provision from our houses on the day we departed to come to you. But now look, it is dry and moldy.

nkjv@Joshua:9:20 @ This we will do to them: We will let them live, lest wrath be upon us because of the oath which we swore to them."

nkjv@Joshua:9:24 @ So they answered Joshua and said, "Because your servants were clearly told that the LORD your God commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; therefore we were very much afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

nkjv@Joshua:9:27 @ And that day Joshua made them woodcutters and water carriers for the congregation and for the altar of the LORD, in the place which He would choose, even to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:10:3 @ Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,

nkjv@Joshua:10:5 @ Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered together and went up, they and all their armies, and camped before Gibeon and made war against it.

nkjv@Joshua:10:13 @ So the sun stood still, And the moon stopped, Till the people had revenge Upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.

nkjv@Joshua:10:21 @ And all the people returned to the camp, to Joshua at Makkedah, in peace. No one moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:10:23 @ And they did so, and brought out those five kings to him from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

nkjv@Joshua:10:27 @ So it was at the time of the going down of the sun that Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, cast them into the cave where they had been hidden, and laid large stones against the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day.

nkjv@Joshua:10:31 @ Then Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish; and they encamped against it and fought against it.

nkjv@Joshua:10:32 @ And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, who took it on the second day, and struck it and all the people who were in it with the edge of the sword, according to all that he had done to Libnah.

nkjv@Joshua:10:33 @ Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he left him none remaining.

nkjv@Joshua:10:34 @ From Lachish Joshua passed to Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it and fought against it.

nkjv@Joshua:10:35 @ They took it on that day and struck it with the edge of the sword; all the people who were in it he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.

nkjv@Joshua:11:6 @ But the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow about this time I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire."

nkjv@Joshua:11:15 @ As the LORD had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did. He left nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.

nkjv@Joshua:11:16 @ Thus Joshua took all this land: the mountain country, all the South, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, and the Jordan plain --the mountains of Israel and its lowlands,

nkjv@Joshua:12:4 @ The other king was Og king of Bashan and his territory, who was of the remnant of the giants, who dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,

nkjv@Joshua:12:7 @ And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel conquered on this side of the Jordan, on the west, from Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon as far as Mount Halak and the ascent to Seir, which Joshua gave to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their divisions,

nkjv@Joshua:12:11 @ the king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;

nkjv@Joshua:13:2 @ This is the land that yet remains: all the territory of the Philistines and all that of the Geshurites,

nkjv@Joshua:13:7 @ Now therefore, divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh."

nkjv@Joshua:13:13 @ Nevertheless the children of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maachathites, but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.

nkjv@Joshua:13:23 @ And the border of the children of Reuben was the bank of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:13:28 @ This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:14:10 @ And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old.

nkjv@Joshua:14:11 @ As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in.

nkjv@Joshua:14:12 @ Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the LORD said."

nkjv@Joshua:14:14 @ Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:15:1 @ So this was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families: The border of Edom at the Wilderness of Zin southward was the extreme southern boundary.

nkjv@Joshua:15:4 @ From there it passed toward Azmon and went out to the Brook of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea. This shall be your southern border.

nkjv@Joshua:15:12 @ The west border was the coastline of the Great Sea. This is the boundary of the children of Judah all around according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:15:17 @ So Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.

nkjv@Joshua:15:20 @ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families:

nkjv@Joshua:15:39 @ Lachish, Bozkath, Eglon,

nkjv@Joshua:15:63 @ As for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:16:8 @ The border went out from Tappuah westward to the Brook Kanah, and it ended at the sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:16:10 @ And they did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day and have become forced laborers.

nkjv@Joshua:17:3 @ But Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters. And these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

nkjv@Joshua:17:6 @ because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons; and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.

nkjv@Joshua:18:14 @ Then the border extended around the west side to the south, from the hill that lies before Beth Horon southward; and it ended at Kirjath Baal (which is Kirjath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west side.

nkjv@Joshua:18:19 @ And the border passed along to the north side of Beth Hoglah; then the border ended at the north bay at the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the southern boundary.

nkjv@Joshua:18:20 @ The Jordan was its border on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, according to its boundaries all around, according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:18:28 @ Zelah, Eleph, Jebus (which is Jerusalem), Gibeath, and Kirjath: fourteen cities with their villages. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:19:8 @ and all the villages that were all around these cities as far as Baalath Beer, Ramah of the South. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:19:12 @ Then from Sarid it went eastward toward the sunrise along the border of Chisloth Tabor, and went out toward Daberath, bypassing Japhia.

nkjv@Joshua:19:16 @ This was the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:19:23 @ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:19:31 @ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:19:39 @ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities and their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:19:48 @ This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:20:4 @ And when he flees to one of those cities, and stands at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declares his case in the hearing of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city as one of them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.

nkjv@Joshua:20:5 @ Then if the avenger of blood pursues him, they shall not deliver the slayer into his hand, because he struck his neighbor unintentionally, but did not hate him beforehand.

nkjv@Joshua:20:6 @ And he shall dwell in that city until he stands before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the one who is high priest in those days. Then the slayer may return and come to his own city and his own house, to the city from which he fled."'

nkjv@Joshua:21:12 @ But the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession.

nkjv@Joshua:22:3 @ You have not left your brethren these many days, up to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.

nkjv@Joshua:22:5 @ But take careful heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul."

nkjv@Joshua:22:7 @ Now to half the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given a possession in Bashan, but to the other half of it Joshua gave a possession among their brethren on this side of the Jordan, westward. And indeed, when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,

nkjv@Joshua:22:14 @ and with him ten rulers, one ruler each from the chief house of every tribe of Israel; and each one was the head of the house of his father among the divisions of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:22:16 @ "Thus says the whole congregation of the LORD: "What treachery is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that you have built for yourselves an altar, that you might rebel this day against the LORD?

nkjv@Joshua:22:17 @ Is the iniquity of Peor not enough for us, from which we are not cleansed till this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,

nkjv@Joshua:22:18 @ but that you must turn away this day from following the LORD? And it shall be, if you rebel today against the LORD, that tomorrow He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:22:20 @ Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? And that man did not perish alone in his iniquity."'

nkjv@Joshua:22:22 @ "The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, He knows, and let Israel itself know--if it is in rebellion, or if in treachery against the LORD, do not save us this day.

nkjv@Joshua:22:28 @ Therefore we said that it will be, when they say this to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say, "Here is the replica of the altar of the LORD which our fathers made, though not for burnt offerings nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between you and us.'

nkjv@Joshua:22:29 @ Far be it from us that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn from following the LORD this day, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for grain offerings, or for sacrifices, besides the altar of the LORD our God which is before His tabernacle."

nkjv@Joshua:22:31 @ Then Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh, "This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because you have not committed this treachery against the LORD. Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD."

nkjv@Joshua:23:8 @ but you shall hold fast to the LORD your God, as you have done to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:23:9 @ For the LORD has driven out from before you great and strong nations; but as for you, no one has been able to stand against you to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:23:13 @ know for certain that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. But they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the LORD your God has given you.

nkjv@Joshua:23:14 @ "Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed.

nkjv@Joshua:23:15 @ Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all the good things have come upon you which the LORD your God promised you, so the LORD will bring upon you all harmful things, until He has destroyed you from this good land which the LORD your God has given you.

nkjv@Joshua:24:3 @ Then I took your father Abraham from the other side of the River, led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants and gave him Isaac.

nkjv@Joshua:24:4 @ To Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. To Esau I gave the mountains of Seir to possess, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.

nkjv@Joshua:24:10 @ But I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he continued to bless you. So I delivered you out of his hand.

nkjv@Joshua:24:15 @ And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

nkjv@Joshua:24:24 @ And the people said to Joshua, "The LORD our God we will serve, and His voice we will obey!"

nkjv@Joshua:24:27 @ And Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, this stone shall be a witness to us, for it has heard all the words of the LORD which He spoke to us. It shall therefore be a witness to you, lest you deny your God."

nkjv@Joshua:24:28 @ So Joshua let the people depart, each to his own inheritance.

nkjv@Joshua:24:30 @ And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at Timnath Serah, which is in the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash.

nkjv@Joshua:24:33 @ And Eleazar the son of Aaron died. They buried him in a hill belonging to Phinehas his son, which was given to him in the mountains of Ephraim.

nkjv@Judges:1:2 @ And the LORD said, "Judah shall go up. Indeed I have delivered the land into his hand."

nkjv@Judges:1:3 @ So Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me to my allotted territory, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I will likewise go with you to your allotted territory." And Simeon went with him.

nkjv@Judges:1:6 @ Then Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and big toes.

nkjv@Judges:1:13 @ And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah as wife.

nkjv@Judges:1:17 @ And Judah went with his brother Simeon, and they attacked the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. So the name of the city was called Hormah.

nkjv@Judges:1:21 @ But the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; so the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

nkjv@Judges:1:25 @ So he showed them the entrance to the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go.

nkjv@Judges:1:26 @ And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.

nkjv@Judges:2:2 @ And you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars.' But you have not obeyed My voice. Why have you done this?

nkjv@Judges:2:6 @ And when Joshua had dismissed the people, the children of Israel went each to his own inheritance to possess the land.

nkjv@Judges:2:9 @ And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at Timnath Heres, in the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash.

nkjv@Judges:2:20 @ Then the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and He said, "Because this nation has transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not heeded My voice,

nkjv@Judges:3:2 @ (this was only so that the generations of the children of Israel might be taught to know war, at least those who had not formerly known it),

nkjv@Judges:3:10 @ The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-Rishathaim.

nkjv@Judges:3:16 @ Now Ehud made himself a dagger (it was double-edged and a cubit in length) and fastened it under his clothes on his right thigh.

nkjv@Judges:3:20 @ So Ehud came to him (now he was sitting upstairs in his cool private chamber). Then Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." So he arose from his seat.

nkjv@Judges:3:21 @ Then Ehud reached with his left hand, took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly.

nkjv@Judges:3:22 @ Even the hilt went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the dagger out of his belly; and his entrails came out.

nkjv@Judges:3:24 @ When he had gone out, Eglon's servants came to look, and to their surprise, the doors of the upper room were locked. So they said, "He is probably attending to his needs in the cool chamber."

nkjv@Judges:4:2 @ So the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth Hagoyim.

nkjv@Judges:4:7 @ and against you I will deploy Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude at the River Kishon; and I will deliver him into your hand'?"

nkjv@Judges:4:10 @ And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; he went up with ten thousand men under his command, and Deborah went up with him.

nkjv@Judges:4:11 @ Now Heber the Kenite, of the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, had separated himself from the Kenites and pitched his tent near the terebinth tree at Zaanaim, which is beside Kedesh.

nkjv@Judges:19:9 @ And when the man stood to depart--he and his concubine and his servant--his father-in-law, the young woman's father, said to him, "Look, the day is now drawing toward evening; please spend the night. See, the day is coming to an end; lodge here, that your heart may be merry. Tomorrow go your way early, so that you may get home."

nkjv@Judges:19:10 @ However, the man was not willing to spend that night; so he rose and departed, and came opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). With him were the two saddled donkeys; his concubine was also with him.

nkjv@Judges:19:11 @ They were near Jebus, and the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, "Come, please, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites and lodge in it."

nkjv@Judges:19:12 @ But his master said to him, "We will not turn aside here into a city of foreigners, who are not of the children of Israel; we will go on to Gibeah."

nkjv@Judges:19:13 @ So he said to his servant, "Come, let us draw near to one of these places, and spend the night in Gibeah or in Ramah."

nkjv@Judges:19:15 @ They turned aside there to go in to lodge in Gibeah. And when he went in, he sat down in the open square of the city, for no one would take them into his house to spend the night.

nkjv@Judges:19:16 @ Just then an old man came in from his work in the field at evening, who also was from the mountains of Ephraim; he was staying in Gibeah, whereas the men of the place were Benjamites.

nkjv@Judges:19:17 @ And when he raised his eyes, he saw the traveler in the open square of the city; and the old man said, "Where are you going, and where do you come from?"

nkjv@Judges:19:18 @ So he said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah toward the remote mountains of Ephraim; I am from there. I went to Bethlehem in Judah; now I am going to the house of the LORD. But there is no one who will take me into his house,

nkjv@Judges:19:21 @ So he brought him into his house, and gave fodder to the donkeys. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank.

nkjv@Judges:19:23 @ But the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, "No, my brethren! I beg you, do not act so wickedly! Seeing this man has come into my house, do not commit this outrage.

nkjv@Judges:19:24 @ Look, here is my virgin daughter and the man's concubine; let me bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them as you please; but to this man do not do such a vile thing!"

nkjv@Judges:19:25 @ But the men would not heed him. So the man took his concubine and brought her out to them. And they knew her and abused her all night until morning; and when the day began to break, they let her go.

nkjv@Judges:19:27 @ When her master arose in the morning, and opened the doors of the house and went out to go his way, there was his concubine, fallen at the door of the house with her hands on the threshold.

nkjv@Judges:19:28 @ And he said to her, "Get up and let us be going." But there was no answer. So the man lifted her onto the donkey; and the man got up and went to his place.

nkjv@Judges:19:29 @ When he entered his house he took a knife, laid hold of his concubine, and divided her into twelve pieces, limb by limb, and sent her throughout all the territory of Israel.

nkjv@Judges:19:30 @ And so it was that all who saw it said, "No such deed has been done or seen from the day that the children of Israel came up from the land of Egypt until this day. Consider it, confer, and speak up!"

nkjv@Judges:20:3 @ (Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) Then the children of Israel said, "Tell us, how did this wicked deed happen?"

nkjv@Judges:20:8 @ So all the people arose as one man, saying, "None of us will go to his tent, nor will any turn back to his house;

nkjv@Judges:20:9 @ but now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: We will go up against it by lot.

nkjv@Judges:20:12 @ Then the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What is this wickedness that has occurred among you?

nkjv@Judges:20:16 @ Among all this people were seven hundred select men who were left-handed; every one could sling a stone at a hair's breadth and not miss.

nkjv@Judges:21:1 @ Now the men of Israel had sworn an oath at Mizpah, saying, "None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife."

nkjv@Judges:21:3 @ and said, "O LORD God of Israel, why has this come to pass in Israel, that today there should be one tribe missing in Israel?"

nkjv@Judges:21:11 @ And this is the thing that you shall do: You shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has known a man intimately."

nkjv@Judges:21:22 @ Then it shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to us to complain, that we will say to them, "Be kind to them for our sakes, because we did not take a wife for any of them in the war; for it is not as though you have given the women to them at this time, making yourselves guilty of your oath."'

nkjv@Judges:21:24 @ So the children of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and family; they went out from there, every man to his inheritance.

nkjv@Judges:21:25 @ In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

nkjv@Ruth:1:1 @ Now it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons.

nkjv@Ruth:1:2 @ The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion--Ephrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to the country of Moab and remained there.

nkjv@Ruth:1:6 @ Then she arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab that the LORD had visited His people by giving them bread.

nkjv@Ruth:1:19 @ Now the two of them went until they came to Bethlehem. And it happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was excited because of them; and the women said, "Is this Naomi?"

nkjv@Ruth:2:1 @ There was a relative of Naomi's husband, a man of great wealth, of the family of Elimelech. His name was Boaz.

nkjv@Ruth:2:5 @ Then Boaz said to his servant who was in charge of the reapers, "Whose young woman is this?"

nkjv@Ruth:2:15 @ And when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.

nkjv@Ruth:2:20 @ Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be he of the LORD, who has not forsaken His kindness to the living and the dead!" And Naomi said to her, "This man is a relation of ours, one of our close relatives."

nkjv@Ruth:2:22 @ And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, "It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, and that people do not meet you in any other field."

nkjv@Ruth:3:4 @ Then it shall be, when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies; and you shall go in, uncover his feet, and lie down; and he will tell you what you should do."

nkjv@Ruth:3:7 @ And after Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was cheerful, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.

nkjv@Ruth:3:8 @ Now it happened at midnight that the man was startled, and turned himself; and there, a woman was lying at his feet.

nkjv@Ruth:3:13 @ Stay this night, and in the morning it shall be that if he will perform the duty of a close relative for you--good; let him do it. But if he does not want to perform the duty for you, then I will perform the duty for you, as the LORD lives! Lie down until morning."

nkjv@Ruth:3:14 @ So she lay at his feet until morning, and she arose before one could recognize another. Then he said, "Do not let it be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."

nkjv@Ruth:3:18 @ Then she said, "Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out; for the man will not rest until he has concluded the matter this day."

nkjv@Ruth:4:5 @ Then Boaz said, "On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also buy it from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to perpetuate the name of the dead through his inheritance."

nkjv@Ruth:4:7 @ Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging, to confirm anything: one man took off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was a confirmation in Israel.

nkjv@Ruth:4:8 @ Therefore the close relative said to Boaz, "Buy it for yourself." So he took off his sandal.

nkjv@Ruth:4:9 @ And Boaz said to the elders and all the people, "You are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, from the hand of Naomi.

nkjv@Ruth:4:10 @ Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, I have acquired as my wife, to perpetuate the name of the dead through his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brethren and from his position at the gate. You are witnesses this day."

nkjv@Ruth:4:12 @ May your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring which the LORD will give you from this young woman."

nkjv@Ruth:4:13 @ So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and when he went in to her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.

nkjv@Ruth:4:14 @ Then the women said to Naomi, "Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a close relative; and may his name be famous in Israel!

nkjv@Ruth:4:17 @ Also the neighbor women gave him a name, saying, "There is a son born to Naomi." And they called his name Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

nkjv@Ruth:4:18 @ Now this is the genealogy of Perez: Perez begot Hezron;

nkjv@1Samuel:1:1 @ Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the mountains of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:3 @ This man went up from his city yearly to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. Also the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:4 @ And whenever the time came for Elkanah to make an offering, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:11 @ Then she made a vow and said, "O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head."

nkjv@1Samuel:1:19 @ Then they rose early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD, and returned and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:20 @ So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, "Because I have asked for him from the LORD."

nkjv@1Samuel:1:21 @ Now the man Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and his vow.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:23 @ So Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems best to you; wait until you have weaned him. Only let the LORD establish His word." Then the woman stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:27 @ For this child I prayed, and the LORD has granted me my petition which I asked of Him.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:9 @ He will guard the feet of His saints, But the wicked shall be silent in darkness. "For by strength no man shall prevail.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:10 @ The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken in pieces; From heaven He will thunder against them. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth. "He will give strength to His king, And exalt the horn of His anointed."

nkjv@1Samuel:2:11 @ Then Elkanah went to his house at Ramah. But the child ministered to the LORD before Eli the priest.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:13 @ And the priests' custom with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come with a three-pronged fleshhook in his hand while the meat was boiling.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:19 @ Moreover his mother used to make him a little robe, and bring it to him year by year when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:20 @ And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and say, "The LORD give you descendants from this woman for the loan that was given to the LORD." Then they would go to their own home.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:22 @ Now Eli was very old; and he heard everything his sons did to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who assembled at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:34 @ Now this shall be a sign to you that will come upon your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die, both of them.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:2 @ And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow so dim that he could not see,

nkjv@1Samuel:3:9 @ Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, "Speak, LORD, for Your servant hears."' So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:12 @ In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:13 @ For I have told him that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knows, because his sons made themselves vile, and he did not restrain them.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:19 @ So Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:6 @ Now when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, "What does the sound of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?" Then they understood that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:10 @ So the Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and every man fled to his tent. There was a very great slaughter, and there fell of Israel thirty thousand foot soldiers.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:12 @ Then a man of Benjamin ran from the battle line the same day, and came to Shiloh with his clothes torn and dirt on his head.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:13 @ Now when he came, there was Eli, sitting on a seat by the wayside watching, for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city and told it, all the city cried out.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:14 @ When Eli heard the noise of the outcry, he said, "What does the sound of this tumult mean?" And the man came quickly and told Eli.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:15 @ Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes were so dim that he could not see.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:18 @ Then it happened, when he made mention of the ark of God, that Eli fell off the seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck was broken and he died, for the man was old and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:19 @ Now his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, due to be delivered; and when she heard the news that the ark of God was captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth, for her labor pains came upon her.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:5 @ Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon's house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:7 @ And when the men of Ashdod saw how it was, they said, "The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is harsh toward us and Dagon our god."

nkjv@1Samuel:6:3 @ So they said, "If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty; but by all means return it to Him with a trespass offering. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why His hand is not removed from you."

nkjv@1Samuel:6:5 @ Therefore you shall make images of your tumors and images of your rats that ravage the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel; perhaps He will lighten His hand from you, from your gods, and from your land.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:9 @ And watch: if it goes up the road to its own territory, to Beth Shemesh, then He has done us this great evil. But if not, then we shall know that it is not His hand that struck us--it happened to us by chance."

nkjv@1Samuel:6:18 @ and the golden rats, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and country villages, even as far as the large stone of Abel on which they set the ark of the LORD, which stone remains to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:20 @ And the men of Beth Shemesh said, "Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? And to whom shall it go up from us?"

nkjv@1Samuel:7:1 @ Then the men of Kirjath Jearim came and took the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and consecrated Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:15 @ And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:17 @ But he always returned to Ramah, for his home was there. There he judged Israel, and there he built an altar to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:1 @ Now it came to pass when Samuel was old that he made his sons judges over Israel.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:2 @ The name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in Beersheba.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:3 @ But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:8 @ According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, even to this day--with which they have forsaken Me and served other gods--so they are doing to you also.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:11 @ And he said, "This will be the behavior of the king who will reign over you: He will take your sons and appoint them for his own chariots and to be his horsemen, and some will run before his chariots.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:12 @ He will appoint captains over his thousands and captains over his fifties, will set some to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and some to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:14 @ And he will take the best of your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, and give them to his servants.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:15 @ He will take a tenth of your grain and your vintage, and give it to his officers and servants.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:16 @ And he will take your male servants, your female servants, your finest young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:17 @ He will take a tenth of your sheep. And you will be his servants.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:22 @ So the LORD said to Samuel, "Heed their voice, and make them a king." And Samuel said to the men of Israel, "Every man go to his city."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:2 @ And he had a choice and handsome son whose name was Saul. There was not a more handsome person than he among the children of Israel. From his shoulders upward he was taller than any of the people.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:3 @ Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul's father, were lost. And Kish said to his son Saul, "Please take one of the servants with you, and arise, go and look for the donkeys."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:5 @ When they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, "Come, let us return, lest my father cease caring about the donkeys and become worried about us."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:6 @ And he said to him, "Look now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honorable man; all that he says surely comes to pass. So let us go there; perhaps he can show us the way that we should go."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:7 @ Then Saul said to his servant, "But look, if we go, what shall we bring the man? For the bread in our vessels is all gone, and there is no present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?"

nkjv@1Samuel:9:10 @ Then Saul said to his servant, "Well said; come, let us go." So they went to the city where the man of God was.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:12 @ And they answered them and said, "Yes, there he is, just ahead of you. Hurry now; for today he came to this city, because there is a sacrifice of the people today on the high place.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:13 @ As soon as you come into the city, you will surely find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. For the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now therefore, go up, for about this time you will find him."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:14 @ So they went up to the city. As they were coming into the city, there was Samuel, coming out toward them on his way up to the high place.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:15 @ Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear the day before Saul came, saying,

nkjv@1Samuel:9:16 @ "Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him commander over My people Israel, that he may save My people from the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:17 @ So when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said to him, "There he is, the man of whom I spoke to you. This one shall reign over My people."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:21 @ And Saul answered and said, "Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak like this to me?"

nkjv@1Samuel:9:22 @ Now Samuel took Saul and his servant and brought them into the hall, and had them sit in the place of honor among those who were invited; there were about thirty persons.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:24 @ So the cook took up the thigh with its upper part and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, "Here it is, what was kept back. It was set apart for you. Eat; for until this time it has been kept for you, since I said I invited the people." So Saul ate with Samuel that day.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:1 @ Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him and said: "Is it not because the LORD has anointed you commander over His inheritance?

nkjv@1Samuel:10:9 @ So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:11 @ And it happened, when all who knew him formerly saw that he indeed prophesied among the prophets, that the people said to one another, "What is this that has come upon the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"

nkjv@1Samuel:10:14 @ Then Saul's uncle said to him and his servant, "Where did you go?" So he said, "To look for the donkeys. When we saw that they were nowhere to be found, we went to Samuel."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:16 @ So Saul said to his uncle, "He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found." But about the matter of the kingdom, he did not tell him what Samuel had said.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:23 @ So they ran and brought him from there; and when he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders upward.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:25 @ Then Samuel explained to the people the behavior of royalty, and wrote it in a book and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:27 @ But some rebels said, "How can this man save us?" So they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:2 @ And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, "On this condition I will make a covenant with you, that I may put out all your right eyes, and bring reproach on all Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:6 @ Then the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard this news, and his anger was greatly aroused.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:7 @ So he took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, "Whoever does not go out with Saul and Samuel to battle, so it shall be done to his oxen." And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:13 @ But Saul said, "Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today the LORD has accomplished salvation in Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:12:2 @ And now here is the king, walking before you; and I am old and grayheaded, and look, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my childhood to this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:3 @ Here I am. Witness against me before the LORD and before His anointed: Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I received any bribe with which to blind my eyes? I will restore it to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:12:5 @ Then he said to them, "The LORD is witness against you, and His anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand." And they answered, "He is witness."

nkjv@1Samuel:12:8 @ When Jacob had gone into Egypt, and your fathers cried out to the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt and made them dwell in this place.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:14 @ If you fear the LORD and serve Him and obey His voice, and do not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then both you and the king who reigns over you will continue following the LORD your God.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:16 @ "Now therefore, stand and see this great thing which the LORD will do before your eyes:

nkjv@1Samuel:12:20 @ Then Samuel said to the people, "Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:22 @ For the LORD will not forsake His people, for His great name's sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you His people.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:2 @ Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel. Two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mountains of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. The rest of the people he sent away, every man to his tent.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:14 @ But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you."

nkjv@1Samuel:13:16 @ Saul, Jonathan his son, and the people present with them remained in Gibeah of Benjamin. But the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:20 @ But all the Israelites would go down to the Philistines to sharpen each man's plowshare, his mattock, his ax, and his sickle;

nkjv@1Samuel:13:22 @ So it came about, on the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan. But they were found with Saul and Jonathan his son.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:1 @ Now it happened one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, let us go over to the Philistines' garrison that is on the other side." But he did not tell his father.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:6 @ Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the LORD will work for us. For nothing restrains the LORD from saving by many or by few."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:7 @ So his armorbearer said to him, "Do all that is in your heart. Go then; here I am with you, according to your heart."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:10 @ But if they say thus, "Come up to us,' then we will go up. For the LORD has delivered them into our hand, and this will be a sign to us."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:12 @ Then the men of the garrison called to Jonathan and his armorbearer, and said, "Come up to us, and we will show you something." Jonathan said to his armorbearer, "Come up after me, for the LORD has delivered them into the hand of Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:13 @ And Jonathan climbed up on his hands and knees with his armorbearer after him; and they fell before Jonathan. And as he came after him, his armorbearer killed them.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:14 @ That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armorbearer made was about twenty men within about half an acre of land.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:17 @ Then Saul said to the people who were with him, "Now call the roll and see who has gone from us." And when they had called the roll, surprisingly, Jonathan and his armorbearer were not there.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:20 @ Then Saul and all the people who were with him assembled, and they went to the battle; and indeed every man's sword was against his neighbor, and there was very great confusion.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:26 @ And when the people had come into the woods, there was the honey, dripping; but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:27 @ But Jonathan had not heard his father charge the people with the oath; therefore he stretched out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in a honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his countenance brightened.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:28 @ Then one of the people said, "Your father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, "Cursed is the man who eats food this day."' And the people were faint.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:29 @ But Jonathan said, "My father has troubled the land. Look now, how my countenance has brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:33 @ Then they told Saul, saying, "Look, the people are sinning against the LORD by eating with the blood!" So he said, "You have dealt treacherously; roll a large stone to me this day."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:34 @ Then Saul said, "Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, "Bring me here every man's ox and every man's sheep, slaughter them here, and eat; and do not sin against the LORD by eating with the blood."' So every one of the people brought his ox with him that night, and slaughtered it there.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:35 @ Then Saul built an altar to the LORD. This was the first altar that he built to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:38 @ And Saul said, "Come over here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see what this sin was today.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:45 @ But the people said to Saul, "Shall Jonathan die, who has accomplished this great deliverance in Israel? Certainly not! As the LORD lives, not one hair of his head shall fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day." So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:47 @ So Saul established his sovereignty over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, against the people of Ammon, against Edom, against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he harassed them.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:49 @ The sons of Saul were Jonathan, Jishui, and Malchishua. And the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:50 @ The name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the commander of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:1 @ Samuel also said to Saul, "The LORD sent me to anoint you king over His people, over Israel. Now therefore, heed the voice of the words of the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:14 @ But Samuel said, "What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?"

nkjv@1Samuel:15:27 @ And as Samuel turned around to go away, Saul seized the edge of his robe, and it tore.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:34 @ Then Samuel went to Ramah, and Saul went up to his house at Gibeah of Saul.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:35 @ And Samuel went no more to see Saul until the day of his death. Nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul, and the LORD regretted that He had made Saul king over Israel.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:1 @ Now the LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:4 @ So Samuel did what the LORD said, and went to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, "Do you come peaceably?"

nkjv@1Samuel:16:5 @ And he said, "Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice." Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons, and invited them to the sacrifice.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:7 @ But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:8 @ So Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, "Neither has the LORD chosen this one."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:9 @ Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, "Neither has the LORD chosen this one."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:10 @ Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, "The LORD has not chosen these."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:12 @ So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!"

nkjv@1Samuel:16:13 @ Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:16 @ Let our master now command your servants, who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp. And it shall be that he will play it with his hand when the distressing spirit from God is upon you, and you shall be well."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:17 @ So Saul said to his servants, "Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:20 @ And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by his son David to Saul.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:21 @ So David came to Saul and stood before him. And he loved him greatly, and he became his armorbearer.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:23 @ And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:5 @ He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:6 @ And he had bronze armor on his legs and a bronze javelin between his shoulders.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:7 @ Now the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and his iron spearhead weighed six hundred shekels; and a shield-bearer went before him.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:10 @ And the Philistine said, "I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:13 @ The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone to follow Saul to the battle. The names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:15 @ But David occasionally went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:17 @ Then Jesse said to his son David, "Take now for your brothers an ephah of this dried grain and these ten loaves, and run to your brothers at the camp.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:22 @ And David left his supplies in the hand of the supply keeper, ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:25 @ So the men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? Surely he has come up to defy Israel; and it shall be that the man who kills him the king will enrich with great riches, will give him his daughter, and give his father's house exemption from taxes in Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:26 @ Then David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"

nkjv@1Samuel:17:27 @ And the people answered him in this manner, saying, "So shall it be done for the man who kills him."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:28 @ Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was aroused against David, and he said, "Why did you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the insolence of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:32 @ Then David said to Saul, "Let no man's heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:33 @ And Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:34 @ But David said to Saul, "Your servant used to keep his father's sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock,

nkjv@1Samuel:17:36 @ Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:37 @ Moreover David said, "The LORD, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, "Go, and the LORD be with you!"

nkjv@1Samuel:17:38 @ So Saul clothed David with his armor, and he put a bronze helmet on his head; he also clothed him with a coat of mail.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:39 @ David fastened his sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, "I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them." So David took them off.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:40 @ Then he took his staff in his hand; and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag, in a pouch which he had, and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:43 @ So the Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:46 @ This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:47 @ Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD's, and He will give you into our hands."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:49 @ Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:51 @ Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:54 @ And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:55 @ When Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, "Abner, whose son is this youth?" And Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I do not know."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:56 @ So the king said, "Inquire whose son this young man is."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:57 @ Then, as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:1 @ Now when he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:2 @ Saul took him that day, and would not let him go home to his father's house anymore.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:3 @ Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:4 @ And Jonathan took off the robe that was on him and gave it to David, with his armor, even to his sword and his bow and his belt.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:7 @ So the women sang as they danced, and said: "Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands."

nkjv@1Samuel:18:10 @ And it happened on the next day that the distressing spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house. So David played music with his hand, as at other times; but there was a spear in Saul's hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:11 @ And Saul cast the spear, for he said, "I will pin David to the wall!" But David escaped his presence twice.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:13 @ Therefore Saul removed him from his presence, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:14 @ And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the LORD was with him.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:22 @ And Saul commanded his servants, "Communicate with David secretly, and say, "Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become the king's son-in-law."'

nkjv@1Samuel:18:24 @ And the servants of Saul told him, saying, "In this manner David spoke."

nkjv@1Samuel:18:26 @ So when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to become the king's son-in-law. Now the days had not expired;

nkjv@1Samuel:18:27 @ therefore David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full count to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as a wife.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:30 @ Then the princes of the Philistines went out to war. And so it was, whenever they went out, that David behaved more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name became highly esteemed.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:1 @ Now Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David; but Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted greatly in David.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:4 @ Thus Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Let not the king sin against his servant, against David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:5 @ For he took his life in his hands and killed the Philistine, and the LORD brought about a great deliverance for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?"

nkjv@1Samuel:19:7 @ Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these things. So Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as in times past.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:9 @ Now the distressing spirit from the LORD came upon Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand. And David was playing music with his hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:13 @ And Michal took an image and laid it in the bed, put a cover of goats' hair for his head, and covered it with clothes.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:16 @ And when the messengers had come in, there was the image in the bed, with a cover of goats' hair for his head.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:17 @ Then Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me like this, and sent my enemy away, so that he has escaped?" And Michal answered Saul, "He said to me, "Let me go! Why should I kill you?"'

nkjv@1Samuel:19:24 @ And he also stripped off his clothes and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:2 @ So Jonathan said to him, "By no means! You shall not die! Indeed, my father will do nothing either great or small without first telling me. And why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so!"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:3 @ Then David took an oath again, and said, "Your father certainly knows that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said, "Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.' But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:6 @ If your father misses me at all, then say, "David earnestly asked permission of me that he might run over to Bethlehem, his city, for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.'

nkjv@1Samuel:20:17 @ Now Jonathan again caused David to vow, because he loved him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:21 @ and there I will send a lad, saying, "Go, find the arrows.' If I expressly say to the lad, "Look, the arrows are on this side of you; get them and come'--then, as the LORD lives, there is safety for you and no harm.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:25 @ Now the king sat on his seat, as at other times, on a seat by the wall. And Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, but David's place was empty.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:27 @ And it happened the next day, the second day of the month, that David's place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why has the son of Jesse not come to eat, either yesterday or today?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:32 @ And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, "Why should he be killed? What has he done?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:33 @ Then Saul cast a spear at him to kill him, by which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to kill David.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:34 @ So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:36 @ Then he said to his lad, "Now run, find the arrows which I shoot." As the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:38 @ And Jonathan cried out after the lad, "Make haste, hurry, do not delay!" So Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows and came back to his master.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:40 @ Then Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad, and said to him, "Go, carry them to the city."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:41 @ As soon as the lad had gone, David arose from a place toward the south, fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down three times. And they kissed one another; and they wept together, but David more so.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:5 @ Then David answered the priest, and said to him, "Truly, women have been kept from us about three days since I came out. And the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in effect common, even though it was consecrated in the vessel this day."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:7 @ Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD. And his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:10 @ Then David arose and fled that day from before Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:11 @ And the servants of Achish said to him, "Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of him to one another in dances, saying: "Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands'?"

nkjv@1Samuel:21:12 @ Now David took these words to heart, and was very much afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:13 @ So he changed his behavior before them, pretended madness in their hands, scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva fall down on his beard.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:14 @ Then Achish said to his servants, "Look, you see the man is insane. Why have you brought him to me?

nkjv@1Samuel:21:15 @ Have I need of madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?"

nkjv@1Samuel:22:1 @ David therefore departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. So when his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:6 @ When Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been discovered--now Saul was staying in Gibeah under a tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants standing about him--

nkjv@1Samuel:22:7 @ then Saul said to his servants who stood about him, "Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds?

nkjv@1Samuel:22:8 @ All of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who reveals to me that my son has made a covenant with the son of Jesse; and there is not one of you who is sorry for me or reveals to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:11 @ So the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests who were in Nob. And they all came to the king.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:13 @ Then Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day?"

nkjv@1Samuel:22:15 @ Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? Far be it from me! Let not the king impute anything to his servant, or to any in the house of my father. For your servant knew nothing of all this, little or much."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:5 @ And David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, struck them with a mighty blow, and took away their livestock. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:6 @ Now it happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah, that he went down with an ephod in his hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:8 @ Then Saul called all the people together for war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:11 @ Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O LORD God of Israel, I pray, tell Your servant." And the LORD said, "He will come down."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:13 @ So David and his men, about six hundred, arose and departed from Keilah and went wherever they could go. Then it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah; so he halted the expedition.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:14 @ And David stayed in strongholds in the wilderness, and remained in the mountains in the Wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:15 @ So David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. And David was in the Wilderness of Ziph in a forest.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:16 @ Then Jonathan, Saul's son, arose and went to David in the woods and strengthened his hand in God.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:18 @ So the two of them made a covenant before the LORD. And David stayed in the woods, and Jonathan went to his own house.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:22 @ Please go and find out for sure, and see the place where his hideout is, and who has seen him there. For I am told he is very crafty.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:24 @ So they arose and went to Ziph before Saul. But David and his men were in the Wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:25 @ When Saul and his men went to seek him, they told David. Therefore he went down to the rock, and stayed in the Wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued David in the Wilderness of Maon.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:26 @ Then Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain. So David made haste to get away from Saul, for Saul and his men were encircling David and his men to take them.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:2 @ Then Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the Rocks of the Wild Goats.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:3 @ So he came to the sheepfolds by the road, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to attend to his needs. (David and his men were staying in the recesses of the cave.)

nkjv@1Samuel:24:4 @ Then the men of David said to him, "This is the day of which the LORD said to you, "Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as it seems good to you."' And David arose and secretly cut off a corner of Saul's robe.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:6 @ And he said to his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD's anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD."

nkjv@1Samuel:24:7 @ So David restrained his servants with these words, and did not allow them to rise against Saul. And Saul got up from the cave and went on his way.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:8 @ David also arose afterward, went out of the cave, and called out to Saul, saying, "My lord the king!" And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed down.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:10 @ Look, this day your eyes have seen that the LORD delivered you today into my hand in the cave, and someone urged me to kill you. But my eye spared you, and I said, "I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD's anointed.'

nkjv@1Samuel:24:16 @ So it was, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:18 @ And you have shown this day how you have dealt well with me; for when the LORD delivered me into your hand, you did not kill me.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:19 @ For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him get away safely? Therefore may the LORD reward you with good for what you have done to me this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:22 @ So David swore to Saul. And Saul went home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:1 @ Then Samuel died; and the Israelites gathered together and lamented for him, and buried him at his home in Ramah. And David arose and went down to the Wilderness of Paran.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:2 @ Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel, and the man was very rich. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. And he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:3 @ The name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. And she was a woman of good understanding and beautiful appearance; but the man was harsh and evil in his doings. He was of the house of Caleb.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:4 @ When David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep,

nkjv@1Samuel:25:10 @ Then Nabal answered David's servants, and said, "Who is David, and who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants nowadays who break away each one from his master.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:13 @ Then David said to his men, "Every man gird on his sword." So every man girded on his sword, and David also girded on his sword. And about four hundred men went with David, and two hundred stayed with the supplies.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:17 @ Now therefore, know and consider what you will do, for harm is determined against our master and against all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that one cannot speak to him."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:20 @ So it was, as she rode on the donkey, that she went down under cover of the hill; and there were David and his men, coming down toward her, and she met them.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:21 @ Now David had said, "Surely in vain I have protected all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belongs to him. And he has repaid me evil for good.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:24 @ So she fell at his feet and said: "On me, my lord, on me let this iniquity be! And please let your maidservant speak in your ears, and hear the words of your maidservant.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:25 @ Please, let not my lord regard this scoundrel Nabal. For as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly is with him! But I, your maidservant, did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:27 @ And now this present which your maidservant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:31 @ that this will be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. But when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, then remember your maidservant."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:32 @ Then David said to Abigail: "Blessed is the LORD God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me!

nkjv@1Samuel:25:33 @ And blessed is your advice and blessed are you, because you have kept me this day from coming to bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:36 @ Now Abigail went to Nabal, and there he was, holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; therefore she told him nothing, little or much, until morning light.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:37 @ So it was, in the morning, when the wine had gone from Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:39 @ So when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed be the LORD, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept His servant from evil! For the LORD has returned the wickedness of Nabal on his own head." And David sent and proposed to Abigail, to take her as his wife.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:40 @ When the servants of David had come to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her saying, "David sent us to you, to ask you to become his wife."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:42 @ So Abigail rose in haste and rode on a donkey, attended by five of her maidens; and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:43 @ David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel, and so both of them were his wives.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:44 @ But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was from Gallim.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:5 @ So David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped. And David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army. Now Saul lay within the camp, with the people encamped all around him.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:7 @ So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and there Saul lay sleeping within the camp, with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. And Abner and the people lay all around him.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:8 @ Then Abishai said to David, "God has delivered your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore, please, let me strike him at once with the spear, right to the earth; and I will not have to strike him a second time!"

nkjv@1Samuel:26:9 @ But David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him; for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD's anointed, and be guiltless?"

nkjv@1Samuel:26:10 @ David said furthermore, "As the LORD lives, the LORD shall strike him, or his day shall come to die, or he shall go out to battle and perish.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:11 @ The LORD forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the LORD's anointed. But please, take now the spear and the jug of water that are by his head, and let us go."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:16 @ This thing that you have done is not good. As the LORD lives, you deserve to die, because you have not guarded your master, the LORD's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the jug of water that was by his head."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:18 @ And he said, "Why does my lord thus pursue his servant? For what have I done, or what evil is in my hand?

nkjv@1Samuel:26:19 @ Now therefore, please, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the LORD has stirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, may they be cursed before the LORD, for they have driven me out this day from sharing in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, "Go, serve other gods.'

nkjv@1Samuel:26:21 @ Then Saul said, "I have sinned. Return, my son David. For I will harm you no more, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Indeed I have played the fool and erred exceedingly."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:23 @ May the LORD repay every man for his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the LORD delivered you into my hand today, but I would not stretch out my hand against the LORD's anointed.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:24 @ And indeed, as your life was valued much this day in my eyes, so let my life be valued much in the eyes of the LORD, and let Him deliver me out of all tribulation."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:25 @ Then Saul said to David, "May you be blessed, my son David! You shall both do great things and also still prevail." So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:1 @ And David said in his heart, "Now I shall perish someday by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape to the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me anymore in any part of Israel. So I shall escape out of his hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:27:2 @ Then David arose and went over with the six hundred men who were with him to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:3 @ So David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's widow.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:5 @ Then David said to Achish, "If I have now found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:27:6 @ So Achish gave him Ziklag that day. Therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:8 @ And David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. For those nations were the inhabitants of the land from of old, as you go to Shur, even as far as the land of Egypt.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:9 @ Whenever David attacked the land, he left neither man nor woman alive, but took away the sheep, the oxen, the donkeys, the camels, and the apparel, and returned and came to Achish.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:10 @ Then Achish would say, "Where have you made a raid today?" And David would say, "Against the southern area of Judah, or against the southern area of the Jerahmeelites, or against the southern area of the Kenites."

nkjv@1Samuel:27:11 @ David would save neither man nor woman alive, to bring news to Gath, saying, "Lest they should inform on us, saying, "Thus David did."' And thus was his behavior all the time he dwelt in the country of the Philistines.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:12 @ So Achish believed David, saying, "He has made his people Israel utterly abhor him; therefore he will be my servant forever."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:1 @ Now it happened in those days that the Philistines gathered their armies together for war, to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, "You assuredly know that you will go out with me to battle, you and your men."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:2 @ So David said to Achish, "Surely you know what your servant can do." And Achish said to David, "Therefore I will make you one of my chief guardians forever."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:3 @ Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had lamented for him and buried him in Ramah, in his own city. And Saul had put the mediums and the spiritists out of the land.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:5 @ When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:7 @ Then Saul said to his servants, "Find me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her." And his servants said to him, "In fact, there is a woman who is a medium at En Dor."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:10 @ And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, "As the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:14 @ So he said to her, "What is his form?" And she said, "An old man is coming up, and he is covered with a mantle." And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground and bowed down.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:18 @ Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD nor execute His fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:23 @ But he refused and said, "I will not eat." So his servants, together with the woman, urged him; and he heeded their voice. Then he arose from the ground and sat on the bed.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:25 @ So she brought it before Saul and his servants, and they ate. Then they rose and went away that night.

nkjv@1Samuel:29:2 @ And the lords of the Philistines passed in review by hundreds and by thousands, but David and his men passed in review at the rear with Achish.

nkjv@1Samuel:29:3 @ Then the princes of the Philistines said, "What are these Hebrews doing here?" And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, "Is this not David, the servant of Saul king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or these years? And to this day I have found no fault in him since he defected to me."

nkjv@1Samuel:29:4 @ But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; so the princes of the Philistines said to him, "Make this fellow return, that he may go back to the place which you have appointed for him, and do not let him go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become our adversary. For with what could he reconcile himself to his master, if not with the heads of these men?

nkjv@1Samuel:29:5 @ Is this not David, of whom they sang to one another in dances, saying: "Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands'?"

nkjv@1Samuel:29:6 @ Then Achish called David and said to him, "Surely, as the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight. For to this day I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me. Nevertheless the lords do not favor you.

nkjv@1Samuel:29:8 @ So David said to Achish, "But what have I done? And to this day what have you found in your servant as long as I have been with you, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"

nkjv@1Samuel:29:9 @ Then Achish answered and said to David, "I know that you are as good in my sight as an angel of God; nevertheless the princes of the Philistines have said, "He shall not go up with us to the battle.'

nkjv@1Samuel:29:11 @ So David and his men rose early to depart in the morning, to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:3 @ So David and his men came to the city, and there it was, burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:6 @ Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:8 @ So David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?" And He answered him, "Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:12 @ And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. So when he had eaten, his strength came back to him; for he had eaten no bread nor drunk water for three days and three nights.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:15 @ And David said to him, "Can you take me down to this troop?" So he said, "Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will take you down to this troop."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:18 @ So David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away, and David rescued his two wives.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:20 @ Then David took all the flocks and herds they had driven before those other livestock, and said, "This is David's spoil."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:24 @ For who will heed you in this matter? But as his part is who goes down to the battle, so shall his part be who stays by the supplies; they shall share alike."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:25 @ So it was, from that day forward; he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:2 @ Then the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul's sons.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:4 @ Then Saul said to his armorbearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and thrust me through and abuse me." But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:5 @ And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword, and died with him.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:6 @ So Saul, his three sons, his armorbearer, and all his men died together that same day.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:7 @ And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were on the other side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:8 @ So it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:12 @ all the valiant men arose and traveled all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan; and they came to Jabesh and burned them there.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:2 @ on the third day, behold, it happened that a man came from Saul's camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head. So it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the ground and prostrated himself.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:4 @ Then David said to him, "How did the matter go? Please tell me." And he answered, "The people have fled from the battle, many of the people are fallen and dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also."

nkjv@2Samuel:1:5 @ So David said to the young man who told him, "How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?"

nkjv@2Samuel:1:6 @ Then the young man who told him said, "As I happened by chance to be on Mount Gilboa, there was Saul, leaning on his spear; and indeed the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:10 @ So I stood over him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. And I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord."

nkjv@2Samuel:1:11 @ Therefore David took hold of his own clothes and tore them, and so did all the men who were with him.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:12 @ And they mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, for the people of the LORD and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:17 @ Then David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son,

nkjv@2Samuel:2:1 @ It happened after this that David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go up to any of the cities of Judah?" And the LORD said to him, "Go up." David said, "Where shall I go up?" And He said, "To Hebron."

nkjv@2Samuel:2:21 @ And Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take his armor for yourself." But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:23 @ However, he refused to turn aside. Therefore Abner struck him in the stomach with the blunt end of the spear, so that the spear came out of his back; and he fell down there and died on the spot.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:10 @ So when they told David, saying, "Uriah did not go down to his house," David said to Uriah, "Did you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?"

nkjv@2Samuel:11:11 @ And Uriah said to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are encamped in the open fields. Shall I then go to my house to eat and drink, and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing."

nkjv@2Samuel:11:13 @ Now when David called him, he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk. And at evening he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:25 @ Then David said to the messenger, "Thus you shall say to Joab: "Do not let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Strengthen your attack against the city, and overthrow it.' So encourage him."

nkjv@2Samuel:11:27 @ And when her mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:3 @ But the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb which he had bought and nourished; and it grew up together with him and with his children. It ate of his own food and drank from his own cup and lay in his bosom; and it was like a daughter to him.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:4 @ And a traveler came to the rich man, who refused to take from his own flock and from his own herd to prepare one for the wayfaring man who had come to him; but he took the poor man's lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him."

nkjv@2Samuel:12:5 @ So David's anger was greatly aroused against the man, and he said to Nathan, "As the LORD lives, the man who has done this shall surely die!

nkjv@2Samuel:12:6 @ And he shall restore fourfold for the lamb, because he did this thing and because he had no pity."

nkjv@2Samuel:12:9 @ Why have you despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in His sight? You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the people of Ammon.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:11 @ Thus says the LORD: "Behold, I will raise up adversity against you from your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:12 @ For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, before the sun."'

nkjv@2Samuel:12:14 @ However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die."

nkjv@2Samuel:12:15 @ Then Nathan departed to his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it became ill.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:17 @ So the elders of his house arose and went to him, to raise him up from the ground. But he would not, nor did he eat food with them.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:19 @ When David saw that his servants were whispering, David perceived that the child was dead. Therefore David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" And they said, "He is dead."

nkjv@2Samuel:12:20 @ So David arose from the ground, washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went to his own house; and when he requested, they set food before him, and he ate.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:21 @ Then his servants said to him, "What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child died, you arose and ate food."

nkjv@2Samuel:12:24 @ Then David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her and lay with her. So she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. Now the LORD loved him,

nkjv@2Samuel:12:25 @ and He sent word by the hand of Nathan the prophet: So he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:30 @ Then he took their king's crown from his head. Its weight was a talent of gold, with precious stones. And it was set on David's head. Also he brought out the spoil of the city in great abundance.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:1 @ After this Absalom the son of David had a lovely sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:2 @ Amnon was so distressed over his sister Tamar that he became sick; for she was a virgin. And it was improper for Amnon to do anything to her.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:8 @ So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was lying down. Then she took flour and kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:12 @ But she answered him, "No, my brother, do not force me, for no such thing should be done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing!

nkjv@2Samuel:13:16 @ So she said to him, "No, indeed! This evil of sending me away is worse than the other that you did to me." But he would not listen to her.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:17 @ Then he called his servant who attended him, and said, "Here! Put this woman out, away from me, and bolt the door behind her."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:18 @ Now she had on a robe of many colors, for the king's virgin daughters wore such apparel. And his servant put her out and bolted the door behind her.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:20 @ And Absalom her brother said to her, "Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother; do not take this thing to heart." So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:22 @ And Absalom spoke to his brother Amnon neither good nor bad. For Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:24 @ Then Absalom came to the king and said, "Kindly note, your servant has sheepshearers; please, let the king and his servants go with your servant."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:28 @ Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, "Watch now, when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, "Strike Amnon!' then kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and valiant."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:29 @ So the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and each one got on his mule and fled.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:31 @ So the king arose and tore his garments and lay on the ground, and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:32 @ Then Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David's brother, answered and said, "Let not my lord suppose they have killed all the young men, the king's sons, for only Amnon is dead. For by the command of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:33 @ Now therefore, let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead. For only Amnon is dead."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:34 @ Then Absalom fled. And the young man who was keeping watch lifted his eyes and looked, and there, many people were coming from the road on the hillside behind him.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:36 @ So it was, as soon as he had finished speaking, that the king's sons indeed came, and they lifted up their voice and wept. Also the king and all his servants wept very bitterly.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:37 @ But Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:3 @ Go to the king and speak to him in this manner." So Joab put the words in her mouth.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:7 @ And now the whole family has risen up against your maidservant, and they said, "Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may execute him for the life of his brother whom he killed; and we will destroy the heir also.' So they would extinguish my ember that is left, and leave to my husband neither name nor remnant on the earth."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:9 @ And the woman of Tekoa said to the king, "My lord, O king, let the iniquity be on me and on my father's house, and the king and his throne be guiltless."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:13 @ So the woman said: "Why then have you schemed such a thing against the people of God? For the king speaks this thing as one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring his banished one home again.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:14 @ For we will surely die and become like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. Yet God does not take away a life; but He devises means, so that His banished ones are not expelled from Him.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:15 @ Now therefore, I have come to speak of this thing to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid. And your maidservant said, "I will now speak to the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his maidservant.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:16 @ For the king will hear and deliver his maidservant from the hand of the man who would destroy me and my son together from the inheritance of God.'

nkjv@2Samuel:14:19 @ So the king said, "Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?" And the woman answered and said, "As you live, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right hand or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken. For your servant Joab commanded me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your maidservant.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:20 @ To bring about this change of affairs your servant Joab has done this thing; but my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of the angel of God, to know everything that is in the earth."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:21 @ And the king said to Joab, "All right, I have granted this thing. Go therefore, bring back the young man Absalom."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:22 @ Then Joab fell to the ground on his face and bowed himself, and thanked the king. And Joab said, "Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord, O king, in that the king has fulfilled the request of his servant."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:24 @ And the king said, "Let him return to his own house, but do not let him see my face." So Absalom returned to his own house, but did not see the king's face.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:25 @ Now in all Israel there was no one who was praised as much as Absalom for his good looks. From the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:26 @ And when he cut the hair of his head--at the end of every year he cut it because it was heavy on him--when he cut it, he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels according to the king's standard.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:30 @ So he said to his servants, "See, Joab's field is near mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire." And Absalom's servants set the field on fire.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:33 @ So Joab went to the king and told him. And when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king. Then the king kissed Absalom.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:1 @ After this it happened that Absalom provided himself with chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:5 @ And so it was, whenever anyone came near to bow down to him, that he would put out his hand and take him and kiss him.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:6 @ In this manner Absalom acted toward all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:12 @ Then Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city--from Giloh--while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy grew strong, for the people with Absalom continually increased in number.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:14 @ So David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee, or we shall not escape from Absalom. Make haste to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly and bring disaster upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:16 @ Then the king went out with all his household after him. But the king left ten women, concubines, to keep the house.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:18 @ Then all his servants passed before him; and all the Cherethites, all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who had followed him from Gath, passed before the king.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:22 @ So David said to Ittai, "Go, and cross over." Then Ittai the Gittite and all his men and all the little ones who were with him crossed over.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:25 @ Then the king said to Zadok, "Carry the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, He will bring me back and show me both it and His dwelling place.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:30 @ So David went up by the Ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered and went barefoot. And all the people who were with him covered their heads and went up, weeping as they went up.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:32 @ Now it happened when David had come to the top of the mountain, where he worshiped God--there was Hushai the Archite coming to meet him with his robe torn and dust on his head.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:6 @ And he threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David. And all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:9 @ Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please, let me go over and take off his head!"

nkjv@2Samuel:16:11 @ And David said to Abishai and all his servants, "See how my son who came from my own body seeks my life. How much more now may this Benjamite? Let him alone, and let him curse; for so the LORD has ordered him.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:12 @ It may be that the LORD will look on my affliction, and that the LORD will repay me with good for his cursing this day."

nkjv@2Samuel:16:13 @ And as David and his men went along the road, Shimei went along the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went, threw stones at him and kicked up dust.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:17 @ So Absalom said to Hushai, "Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?"

nkjv@2Samuel:16:18 @ And Hushai said to Absalom, "No, but whom the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel choose, his I will be, and with him I will remain.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:19 @ "Furthermore, whom should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father's presence, so will I be in your presence."

nkjv@2Samuel:16:22 @ So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:6 @ And when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying, "Ahithophel has spoken in this manner. Shall we do as he says? If not, speak up."

nkjv@2Samuel:17:7 @ So Hushai said to Absalom: "The advice that Ahithophel has given is not good at this time.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:8 @ For," said Hushai, "you know your father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are enraged in their minds, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field; and your father is a man of war, and will not camp with the people.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:16 @ Now therefore, send quickly and tell David, saying, "Do not spend this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily cross over, lest the king and all the people who are with him be swallowed up."'

nkjv@2Samuel:17:18 @ Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom. But both of them went away quickly and came to a man's house in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down into it.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:23 @ Now when Ahithophel saw that his advice was not followed, he saddled a donkey, and arose and went home to his house, to his city. Then he put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died; and he was buried in his father's tomb.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:25 @ And Absalom made Amasa captain of the army instead of Joab. This Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Jithra, an Israelite, who had gone in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:9 @ Then Absalom met the servants of David. Absalom rode on a mule. The mule went under the thick boughs of a great terebinth tree, and his head caught in the terebinth; so he was left hanging between heaven and earth. And the mule which was under him went on.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:14 @ Then Joab said, "I cannot linger with you." And he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through Absalom's heart, while he was still alive in the midst of the terebinth tree.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:17 @ And they took Absalom and cast him into a large pit in the woods, and laid a very large heap of stones over him. Then all Israel fled, everyone to his tent.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:18 @ Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up a pillar for himself, which is in the King's Valley. For he said, "I have no son to keep my name in remembrance." He called the pillar after his own name. And to this day it is called Absalom's Monument.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:19 @ Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, "Let me run now and take the news to the king, how the LORD has avenged him of his enemies."

nkjv@2Samuel:18:20 @ And Joab said to him, "You shall not take the news this day, for you shall take the news another day. But today you shall take no news, because the king's son is dead."

nkjv@2Samuel:18:24 @ Now David was sitting between the two gates. And the watchman went up to the roof over the gate, to the wall, lifted his eyes and looked, and there was a man, running alone.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:25 @ Then the watchman cried out and told the king. And the king said, "If he is alone, there is news in his mouth." And he came rapidly and drew near.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:28 @ So Ahimaaz called out and said to the king, "All is well!" Then he bowed down with his face to the earth before the king, and said, "Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who raised their hand against my lord the king!"

nkjv@2Samuel:18:31 @ Just then the Cushite came, and the Cushite said, "There is good news, my lord the king! For the LORD has avenged you this day of all those who rose against you."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:2 @ So the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the people. For the people heard it said that day, "The king is grieved for his son."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:4 @ But the king covered his face, and the king cried out with a loud voice, "O my son Absalom! O Absalom, my son, my son!"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:7 @ Now therefore, arise, go out and speak comfort to your servants. For I swear by the LORD, if you do not go out, not one will stay with you this night. And that will be worse for you than all the evil that has befallen you from your youth until now."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:8 @ Then the king arose and sat in the gate. And they told all the people, saying, "There is the king, sitting in the gate." So all the people came before the king. For everyone of Israel had fled to his tent.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:11 @ So King David sent to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, saying, "Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, "Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the words of all Israel have come to the king, to his very house?

nkjv@2Samuel:19:14 @ So he swayed the hearts of all the men of Judah, just as the heart of one man, so that they sent this word to the king: "Return, you and all your servants!"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:17 @ There were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went over the Jordan before the king.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:21 @ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, "Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD's anointed?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:24 @ Now Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king. And he had not cared for his feet, nor trimmed his mustache, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he returned in peace.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:30 @ Then Mephibosheth said to the king, "Rather, let him take it all, inasmuch as my lord the king has come back in peace to his own house."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:39 @ Then all the people went over the Jordan. And when the king had crossed over, the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and he returned to his own place.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:41 @ Just then all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, "Why have our brethren, the men of Judah, stolen you away and brought the king, his household, and all David's men with him across the Jordan?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:42 @ So all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "Because the king is a close relative of ours. Why then are you angry over this matter? Have we ever eaten at the king's expense? Or has he given us any gift?"

nkjv@2Samuel:20:1 @ And there happened to be there a rebel, whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite. And he blew a trumpet, and said: "We have no share in David, Nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse; Every man to his tents, O Israel!"

nkjv@2Samuel:20:3 @ Now David came to his house at Jerusalem. And the king took the ten women, his concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in seclusion and supported them, but did not go in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:8 @ When they were at the large stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came before them. Now Joab was dressed in battle armor; on it was a belt with a sword fastened in its sheath at his hips; and as he was going forward, it fell out.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:9 @ Then Joab said to Amasa, "Are you in health, my brother?" And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:10 @ But Amasa did not notice the sword that was in Joab's hand. And he struck him with it in the stomach, and his entrails poured out on the ground; and he did not strike him again. Thus he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:12 @ But Amasa wallowed in his blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he moved Amasa from the highway to the field and threw a garment over him, when he saw that everyone who came upon him halted.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:21 @ That is not so. But a man from the mountains of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has raised his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city." So the woman said to Joab, "Watch, his head will be thrown to you over the wall."

nkjv@2Samuel:20:22 @ Then the woman in her wisdom went to all the people. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. Then he blew a trumpet, and they withdrew from the city, every man to his tent. So Joab returned to the king at Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:1 @ Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, "It is because of Saul and his bloodthirsty house, because he killed the Gibeonites."

nkjv@2Samuel:21:2 @ So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; the children of Israel had sworn protection to them, but Saul had sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:4 @ And the Gibeonites said to him, "We will have no silver or gold from Saul or from his house, nor shall you kill any man in Israel for us." So he said, "Whatever you say, I will do for you."

nkjv@2Samuel:21:14 @ They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the tomb of Kish his father. So they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God heeded the prayer for the land.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:15 @ When the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David and his servants with him went down and fought against the Philistines; and David grew faint.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:17 @ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, "You shall go out no more with us to battle, lest you quench the lamp of Israel."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:16 @ And when the angel stretched out His hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented from the destruction, and said to the angel who was destroying the people, "It is enough; now restrain your hand." And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:20 @ Now Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming toward him. So Araunah went out and bowed before the king with his face to the ground.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:21 @ Then Araunah said, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" And David said, "To buy the threshing floor from you, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be withdrawn from the people."

nkjv@1Kings:1:21 @ Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king rests with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be counted as offenders."

nkjv@1Kings:1:23 @ So they told the king, saying, "Here is Nathan the prophet." And when he came in before the king, he bowed down before the king with his face to the ground.

nkjv@1Kings:1:37 @ As the LORD has been with my lord the king, even so may He be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David."

nkjv@1Kings:1:45 @ So Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon; and they have gone up from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise that you have heard.

nkjv@1Kings:1:47 @ And moreover the king's servants have gone to bless our lord King David, saying, "May God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne.' Then the king bowed himself on the bed.

nkjv@1Kings:1:48 @ Also the king said thus, "Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne this day, while my eyes see it!"'

nkjv@1Kings:1:49 @ So all the guests who were with Adonijah were afraid, and arose, and each one went his way.

nkjv@1Kings:1:51 @ And it was told Solomon, saying, "Indeed Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon; for look, he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, "Let King Solomon swear to me today that he will not put his servant to death with the sword."'

nkjv@1Kings:2:1 @ Now the days of David drew near that he should die, and he charged Solomon his son, saying:

nkjv@1Kings:2:3 @ And keep the charge of the LORD your God: to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn;

nkjv@1Kings:2:5 @ "Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner and Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed.

nkjv@1Kings:2:6 @ Therefore do according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray hair go down to the grave in peace.

nkjv@1Kings:2:9 @ Now therefore, do not hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man and know what you ought to do to him; but bring his gray hair down to the grave with blood."

nkjv@1Kings:2:10 @ So David rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David.

nkjv@1Kings:2:12 @ Then Solomon sat on the throne of his father David; and his kingdom was firmly established.

nkjv@1Kings:2:15 @ Then he said, "You know that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their expectations on me, that I should reign. However, the kingdom has been turned over, and has become my brother's; for it was his from the LORD.

nkjv@1Kings:2:19 @ Bathsheba therefore went to King Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her and bowed down to her, and sat down on his throne and had a throne set for the king's mother; so she sat at his right hand.

nkjv@1Kings:2:22 @ And King Solomon answered and said to his mother, "Now why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also--for he is my older brother--for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah."

nkjv@1Kings:2:23 @ Then King Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, "May God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life!

nkjv@1Kings:2:26 @ And to Abiathar the priest the king said, "Go to Anathoth, to your own fields, for you are deserving of death; but I will not put you to death at this time, because you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and because you were afflicted every time my father was afflicted."

nkjv@1Kings:2:32 @ So the LORD will return his blood on his head, because he struck down two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword--Abner the son of Ner, the commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, the commander of the army of Judah--though my father David did not know it.

nkjv@1Kings:2:33 @ Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab and upon the head of his descendants forever. But upon David and his descendants, upon his house and his throne, there shall be peace forever from the LORD."

nkjv@1Kings:2:34 @ So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and struck and killed him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

nkjv@1Kings:2:35 @ The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army, and the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.

nkjv@1Kings:2:39 @ Now it happened at the end of three years, that two slaves of Shimei ran away to Achish the son of Maachah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, "Look, your slaves are in Gath!"

nkjv@1Kings:3:1 @ Now Solomon made a treaty with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and married Pharaoh's daughter; then he brought her to the City of David until he had finished building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall all around Jerusalem.

nkjv@1Kings:3:3 @ And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of his father David, except that he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.

nkjv@1Kings:3:9 @ Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?"

nkjv@1Kings:3:10 @ The speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing.

nkjv@1Kings:3:11 @ Then God said to him: "Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice,

nkjv@1Kings:3:15 @ Then Solomon awoke; and indeed it had been a dream. And he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.

nkjv@1Kings:3:17 @ And one woman said, "O my lord, this woman and I dwell in the same house; and I gave birth while she was in the house.

nkjv@1Kings:3:18 @ Then it happened, the third day after I had given birth, that this woman also gave birth. And we were together; no one was with us in the house, except the two of us in the house.

nkjv@1Kings:4:7 @ And Solomon had twelve governors over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household; each one made provision for one month of the year.

nkjv@1Kings:4:21 @ So Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.

nkjv@1Kings:4:24 @ For he had dominion over all the region on this side of the River from Tiphsah even to Gaza, namely over all the kings on this side of the River; and he had peace on every side all around him.

nkjv@1Kings:4:25 @ And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, each man under his vine and his fig tree, from Dan as far as Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.

nkjv@1Kings:4:26 @ Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

nkjv@1Kings:4:27 @ And these governors, each man in his month, provided food for King Solomon and for all who came to King Solomon's table. There was no lack in their supply.

nkjv@1Kings:4:28 @ They also brought barley and straw to the proper place, for the horses and steeds, each man according to his charge.

nkjv@1Kings:4:31 @ For he was wiser than all men--than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the surrounding nations.

nkjv@1Kings:4:32 @ He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were one thousand and five.

nkjv@1Kings:4:34 @ And men of all nations, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom, came to hear the wisdom of Solomon.

nkjv@1Kings:5:1 @ Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, because he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father, for Hiram had always loved David.

nkjv@1Kings:5:3 @ You know how my father David could not build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the wars which were fought against him on every side, until the LORD put his foes under the soles of his feet.

nkjv@1Kings:5:7 @ So it was, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly and said, 4 Blessed be the LORD this day, for He has given David a wise son over this great people!

nkjv@1Kings:5:10 @ Then Hiram gave Solomon cedar and cypress logs according to all his desire.

nkjv@1Kings:5:11 @ And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand kors of wheat as food for his household, and twenty kors of pressed oil. Thus Solomon gave to Hiram year by year.

nkjv@1Kings:6:7 @ And the temple, when it was being built, was built with stone finished at the quarry, so that no hammer or chisel or any iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.

nkjv@1Kings:6:12 @ "Concerning this temple which you are building, if you walk in My statutes, execute My judgments, keep all My commandments, and walk in them, then I will perform My word with you, which I spoke to your father David.

nkjv@1Kings:7:1 @ But Solomon took thirteen years to build his own house; so he finished all his house.

nkjv@1Kings:7:8 @ And the house where he dwelt had another court inside the hall, of like workmanship. Solomon also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken as wife.

nkjv@1Kings:7:14 @ He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a bronze worker; he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill in working with all kinds of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and did all his work.

nkjv@1Kings:7:28 @ And this was the design of the carts: They had panels, and the panels were between frames;

nkjv@1Kings:7:51 @ So all the work that King Solomon had done for the house of the LORD was finished; and Solomon brought in the things which his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and the furnishings. He put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

nkjv@1Kings:8:8 @ The poles extended so that the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place, in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And they are there to this day.

nkjv@1Kings:9:13 @ So he said, "What kind of cities are these which you have given me, my brother?" And he called them the land of Cabul, as they are to this day.

nkjv@1Kings:9:15 @ And this is the reason for the labor force which King Solomon raised: to build the house of the LORD, his own house, the Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.

nkjv@1Kings:9:16 @ (Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer and burned it with fire, had killed the Canaanites who dwelt in the city, and had given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.)

nkjv@2Kings:4:38 @ And Elisha returned to Gilgal, and there was a famine in the land. Now the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, "Put on the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets."

nkjv@2Kings:4:42 @ Then a man came from Baal Shalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley bread, and newly ripened grain in his knapsack. And he said, "Give it to the people, that they may eat."

nkjv@2Kings:4:43 @ But his servant said, "What? Shall I set this before one hundred men?" He said again, "Give it to the people, that they may eat; for thus says the LORD: "They shall eat and have some left over."'

nkjv@2Kings:5:1 @ Now Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man in the eyes of his master, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria. He was also a mighty man of valor, but a leper.

nkjv@2Kings:5:4 @ And Naaman went in and told his master, saying, "Thus and thus said the girl who is from the land of Israel."

nkjv@2Kings:5:6 @ Then he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which said, 4 Now be advised, when this letter comes to you, that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.

nkjv@2Kings:5:7 @ And it happened, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he tore his clothes and said, "Am I God, to kill and make alive, that this man sends a man to me to heal him of his leprosy? Therefore please consider, and see how he seeks a quarrel with me."

nkjv@2Kings:5:8 @ So it was, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, "Why have you torn your clothes? Please let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel."

nkjv@2Kings:5:14 @ So he went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

nkjv@2Kings:5:15 @ And he returned to the man of God, he and all his aides, and came and stood before him; and he said, "Indeed, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel; now therefore, please take a gift from your servant."

nkjv@2Kings:5:20 @ But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, "Look, my master has spared Naaman this Syrian, while not receiving from his hands what he brought; but as the LORD lives, I will run after him and take something from him."

nkjv@2Kings:5:23 @ So Naaman said, "Please, take two talents." And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and handed them to two of his servants; and they carried them on ahead of him.

nkjv@2Kings:5:25 @ Now he went in and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, "Where did you go, Gehazi?" And he said, "Your servant did not go anywhere."

nkjv@2Kings:5:26 @ Then he said to him, "Did not my heart go with you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? Is it time to receive money and to receive clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male and female servants?

nkjv@2Kings:6:17 @ And Elisha prayed, and said, "LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

nkjv@2Kings:6:18 @ So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, "Strike this people, I pray, with blindness." And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

nkjv@2Kings:6:19 @ Now Elisha said to them, "This is not the way, nor is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek." But he led them to Samaria.

nkjv@2Kings:6:24 @ And it happened after this that Ben-Hadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.

nkjv@2Kings:6:28 @ Then the king said to her, "What is troubling you?" And she answered, "This woman said to me, "Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.'

nkjv@2Kings:6:32 @ But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And the king sent a man ahead of him, but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, "Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent someone to take away my head?

nkjv@2Kings:6:33 @ And while he was still talking with them, there was the messenger, coming down to him; and then the king said, "Surely this calamity is from the LORD; why should I wait for the LORD any longer?"

nkjv@2Kings:7:9 @ Then they said to one another, "We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we remain silent. If we wait until morning light, some punishment will come upon us. Now therefore, come, let us go and tell the king's household."

nkjv@2Kings:7:12 @ So the king arose in the night and said to his servants, "Let me now tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry; therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, "When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city."'

nkjv@2Kings:7:13 @ And one of his servants answered and said, "Please, let several men take five of the remaining horses which are left in the city.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:15 @ According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:16 @ Then King David went in and sat before the LORD; and he said: "Who am I, O LORD God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:17 @ And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O God; and You have also spoken of Your servant's house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:2 @ Then David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came to Hanun in the land of the people of Ammon to comfort him.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:3 @ And the princes of the people of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David really honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Did his servants not come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?"

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:7 @ So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, with the king of Maacah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. Also the people of Ammon gathered together from their cities, and came to battle.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:11 @ And the rest of the people he put under the command of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in battle array against the people of Ammon.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:19 @ And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became his servants. So the Syrians were not willing to help the people of Ammon anymore.

nkjv@1Chronicles:20:2 @ Then David took their king's crown from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. And it was set on David's head. Also he brought out the spoil of the city in great abundance.

nkjv@1Chronicles:20:8 @ These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:3 @ And Joab answered, "May the LORD make His people a hundred times more than they are. But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? Why then does my lord require this thing? Why should he be a cause of guilt in Israel?"

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:7 @ And God was displeased with this thing; therefore He struck Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:8 @ So David said to God, "I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing; but now, I pray, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:13 @ And David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Please let me fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:16 @ Then David lifted his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and heaven, having in his hand a drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem. So David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:20 @ Now Ornan turned and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves, but Ornan continued threshing wheat.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:21 @ So David came to Ornan, and Ornan looked and saw David. And he went out from the threshing floor, and bowed before David with his face to the ground.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:27 @ So the LORD commanded the angel, and he returned his sword to its sheath.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:1 @ Then David said, "This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel."

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:5 @ Now David said, "Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all countries. I will now make preparation for it." So David made abundant preparations before his death.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:6 @ Then he called for his son Solomon, and charged him to build a house for the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:9 @ Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies all around. His name shall be Solomon, for I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:36 @ And he allied himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they made the ships in Ezion Geber.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:37 @ But Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, "Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works." Then the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:1 @ And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. Then Jehoram his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:4 @ Now when Jehoram was established over the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself and killed all his brothers with the sword, and also others of the princes of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:7 @ Yet the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that He had made with David, and since He had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:8 @ In his days Edom revolted against Judah's authority, and made a king over themselves.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:9 @ So Jehoram went out with his officers, and all his chariots with him. And he rose by night and attacked the Edomites who had surrounded him and the captains of the chariots.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:10 @ Thus Edom has been in revolt against Judah's authority to this day. At that time Libnah revolted against his rule, because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:17 @ And they came up into Judah and invaded it, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the king's house, and also his sons and his wives, so that there was not a son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:18 @ After all this the LORD struck him in his intestines with an incurable disease.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:19 @ Then it happened in the course of time, after the end of two years, that his intestines came out because of his sickness; so he died in severe pain. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning for his fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:1 @ Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, for the raiders who came with the Arabians into the camp had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, reigned.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:2 @ Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:3 @ He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother advised him to do wickedly.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:4 @ Therefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD, like the house of Ahab; for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:7 @ His going to Joram was God's occasion for Ahaziah's downfall; for when he arrived, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:9 @ Then he searched for Ahaziah; and they caught him (he was hiding in Samaria), and brought him to Jehu. When they had killed him, they buried him, "because," they said, "he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart." So the house of Ahaziah had no one to assume power over the kingdom.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:11 @ But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons who were being murdered, and put him and his nurse in a bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah so that she did not kill him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:4 @ This is what you shall do: One-third of you entering on the Sabbath, of the priests and the Levites, shall be keeping watch over the doors;

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:7 @ And the Levites shall surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever comes into the house, let him be put to death. You are to be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out."

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:8 @ So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And each man took his men who were to be on duty on the Sabbath, with those who were going off duty on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest had not dismissed the divisions.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:10 @ Then he set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and by the temple, all around the king.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:11 @ And they brought out the king's son, put the crown on him, gave him the Testimony, and made him king. Then Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, "Long live the king!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:13 @ When she looked, there was the king standing by his pillar at the entrance; and the leaders and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, also the singers with musical instruments, and those who led in praise. So Athaliah tore her clothes and said, "Treason! Treason!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:1 @ Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:4 @ Now it happened after this that Joash set his heart on repairing the house of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:16 @ And they buried him in the City of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God and His house.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:22 @ Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son; and as he died, he said, "The LORD look on it, and repay!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:25 @ And when they had withdrawn from him (for they left him severely wounded), his own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed. So he died. And they buried him in the City of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:27 @ Now concerning his sons, and the many oracles about him, and the repairing of the house of God, indeed they are written in the annals of the book of the kings. Then Amaziah his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:1 @ Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:3 @ Now it happened, as soon as the kingdom was established for him, that he executed his servants who had murdered his father the king.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:4 @ However he did not execute their children, but did as it is written in the Law in the Book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, "The fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall the children be put to death for their fathers; but a person shall die for his own sin."

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:9 @ Then Amaziah said to the man of God, "But what shall we do about the hundred talents which I have given to the troops of Israel?" And the man of God answered, "The LORD is able to give you much more than this."

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:11 @ Then Amaziah strengthened himself, and leading his people, he went to the Valley of Salt and killed ten thousand of the people of Seir.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:14 @ Now it was so, after Amaziah came from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the people of Seir, set them up to be his gods, and bowed down before them and burned incense to them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:16 @ So it was, as he talked with him, that the king said to him, "Have we made you the king's counselor? Cease! Why should you be killed?" Then the prophet ceased, and said, "I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not heeded my advice."

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:18 @ And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, "The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, "Give your daughter to my son as wife'; and a wild beast that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:22 @ And Judah was defeated by Israel, and every man fled to his tent.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:27 @ After the time that Amaziah turned away from following the LORD, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:28 @ Then they brought him on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:1 @ Now all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:2 @ He built Elath and restored it to Judah, after the king rested with his fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:3 @ Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:4 @ And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:8 @ Also the Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah. His fame spread as far as the entrance of Egypt, for he became exceedingly strong.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:15 @ And he made devices in Jerusalem, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and the corners, to shoot arrows and large stones. So his fame spread far and wide, for he was marvelously helped till he became strong.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:16 @ But when he was strong his heart was lifted up, to his destruction, for he transgressed against the LORD his God by entering the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:19 @ Then Uzziah became furious; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense. And while he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead, before the priests in the house of the LORD, beside the incense altar.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:20 @ And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and there, on his forehead, he was leprous; so they thrust him out of that place. Indeed he also hurried to get out, because the LORD had struck him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:21 @ King Uzziah was a leper until the day of his death. He dwelt in an isolated house, because he was a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD. Then Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:23 @ So Uzziah rested with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial which belonged to the kings, for they said, "He is a leper." Then Jotham his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:1 @ Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:2 @ And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done (although he did not enter the temple of the LORD). But still the people acted corruptly.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:5 @ He also fought with the king of the Ammonites and defeated them. And the people of Ammon gave him in that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon paid this to him in the second and third years also.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:6 @ So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:7 @ Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:9 @ So Jotham rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:1 @ Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not do what was right in the sight of the LORD, as his father David had done.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:3 @ He burned incense in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and burned his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:5 @ Therefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria. They defeated him, and carried away a great multitude of them as captives, and brought them to Damascus. Then he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who defeated him with a great slaughter.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:22 @ Now in the time of his distress King Ahaz became increasingly unfaithful to the LORD. This is that King Ahaz.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:25 @ And in every single city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:26 @ Now the rest of his acts and all his ways, from first to last, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:27 @ So Ahaz rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem; but they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel. Then Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:1 @ Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abijah the daughter of Zechariah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:2 @ And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father David had done.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:3 @ In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the LORD and repaired them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:9 @ For indeed, because of this our fathers have fallen by the sword; and our sons, our daughters, and our wives are in captivity.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:10 @ "Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that His fierce wrath may turn away from us.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:19 @ Moreover all the articles which King Ahaz in his reign had cast aside in his transgression we have prepared and sanctified; and there they are, before the altar of the LORD."

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:25 @ And he stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, of Gad the king's seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for thus was the commandment of the LORD by His prophets.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:28 @ So all the assembly worshiped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:2 @ For the king and his leaders and all the assembly in Jerusalem had agreed to keep the Passover in the second month.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:6 @ Then the runners went throughout all Israel and Judah with the letters from the king and his leaders, and spoke according to the command of the king: "Children of Israel, return to the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; then He will return to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:8 @ Now do not be stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD; and enter His sanctuary, which He has sanctified forever, and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:9 @ For if you return to the LORD, your brethren and your children will be treated with compassion by those who lead them captive, so that they may come back to this land; for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn His face from you if you return to Him."

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:19 @ who prepares his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he is not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary."

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:26 @ So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:27 @ Then the priests, the Levites, arose and blessed the people, and their voice was heard; and their prayer came up to His holy dwelling place, to heaven.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:1 @ Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke the sacred pillars in pieces, cut down the wooden images, and threw down the high places and the altars--from all Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh--until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned to their own cities, every man to his possession.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:2 @ And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites according to their divisions, each man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and peace offerings, to serve, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:3 @ The king also appointed a portion of his possessions for the burnt offerings: for the morning and evening burnt offerings, the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths and the New Moons and the set feasts, as it is written in the Law of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:8 @ And when Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD and His people Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:10 @ And Azariah the chief priest, from the house of Zadok, answered him and said, "Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat and have plenty left, for the LORD has blessed His people; and what is left is this great abundance."

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:12 @ Then they faithfully brought in the offerings, the tithes, and the dedicated things; Cononiah the Levite had charge of them, and Shimei his brother was the next.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:13 @ Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:15 @ And under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, his faithful assistants in the cities of the priests, to distribute allotments to their brethren by divisions, to the great as well as the small.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:16 @ Besides those males from three years old and up who were written in the genealogy, they distributed to everyone who entered the house of the LORD his daily portion for the work of his service, by his division,

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:20 @ Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and true before the LORD his God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:21 @ And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:2 @ And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that his purpose was to make war against Jerusalem,

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:3 @ he consulted with his leaders and commanders to stop the water from the springs which were outside the city; and they helped him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:9 @ After this Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem (but he and all the forces with him laid siege against Lachish), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were in Jerusalem, saying,

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:12 @ Has not the same Hezekiah taken away His high places and His altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, "You shall worship before one altar and burn incense on it"?

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:14 @ Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed that could deliver his people from my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you from my hand?

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:15 @ Now therefore, do not let Hezekiah deceive you or persuade you like this, and do not believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people from my hand or the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand?"'

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:16 @ Furthermore, his servants spoke against the LORD God and against His servant Hezekiah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:17 @ He also wrote letters to revile the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, "As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand."

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:20 @ Now because of this King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, prayed and cried out to heaven.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:21 @ Then the LORD sent an angel who cut down every mighty man of valor, leader, and captain in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned shamefaced to his own land. And when he had gone into the temple of his god, some of his own offspring struck him down with the sword there.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:25 @ But Hezekiah did not repay according to the favor shown him, for his heart was lifted up; therefore wrath was looming over him and over Judah and Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:26 @ Then Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:30 @ This same Hezekiah also stopped the water outlet of Upper Gihon, and brought the water by tunnel to the west side of the City of David. Hezekiah prospered in all his works.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:31 @ However, regarding the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, whom they sent to him to inquire about the wonder that was done in the land, God withdrew from him, in order to test him, that He might know all that was in his heart.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:32 @ Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, indeed they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:33 @ So Hezekiah rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the upper tombs of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honored him at his death. Then Manasseh his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:3 @ For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; he raised up altars for the Baals, and made wooden images; and he worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:6 @ Also he caused his sons to pass through the fire in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom; he practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft and sorcery, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:7 @ He even set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, "In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever;

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:10 @ And the LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they would not listen.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:12 @ Now when he was in affliction, he implored the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:13 @ and prayed to Him; and He received his entreaty, heard his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD was God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:14 @ After this he built a wall outside the City of David on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate; and it enclosed Ophel, and he raised it to a very great height. Then he put military captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:18 @ Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:19 @ Also his prayer and how God received his entreaty, and all his sin and trespass, and the sites where he built high places and set up wooden images and carved images, before he was humbled, indeed they are written among the sayings of Hozai.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:20 @ So Manasseh rested with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. Then his son Amon reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:22 @ But he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done; for Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which his father Manasseh had made, and served them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:23 @ And he did not humble himself before the LORD, as his father Manasseh had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:24 @ Then his servants conspired against him, and killed him in his own house.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:25 @ But the people of the land executed all those who had conspired against King Amon. Then the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:2 @ And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:3 @ For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:4 @ They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence, and the incense altars which were above them he cut down; and the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images he broke in pieces, and made dust of them and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:8 @ In the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the temple, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:19 @ Thus it happened, when the king heard the words of the Law, that he tore his clothes.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:21 @ "Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for those who are left in Israel and Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do according to all that is written in this book."

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:24 @ "Thus says the LORD: "Behold, I will bring calamity on this place and on its inhabitants, all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah,

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:25 @ because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. Therefore My wrath will be poured out on this place, and not be quenched.""

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:26 @ But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, in this manner you shall speak to him, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel: "Concerning the words which you have heard--

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:27 @ because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and against its inhabitants, and you humbled yourself before Me, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you," says the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:28 @ "Surely I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the calamity which I will bring on this place and its inhabitants.""' So they brought back word to the king.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:31 @ Then the king stood in his place and made a covenant before the LORD, to follow the LORD, and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:33 @ Thus Josiah removed all the abominations from all the country that belonged to the children of Israel, and made all who were present in Israel diligently serve the LORD their God. All his days they did not depart from following the LORD God of their fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:20 @ After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:21 @ But he sent messengers to him, saying, "What have I to do with you, king of Judah? I have not come against you this day, but against the house with which I have war; for God commanded me to make haste. Refrain from meddling with God, who is with me, lest He destroy you."

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:22 @ Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself so that he might fight with him, and did not heed the words of Necho from the mouth of God. So he came to fight in the Valley of Megiddo.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:23 @ And the archers shot King Josiah; and the king said to his servants, "Take me away, for I am severely wounded."

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:24 @ His servants therefore took him out of that chariot and put him in the second chariot that he had, and they brought him to Jerusalem. So he died, and was buried in one of the tombs of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:25 @ Jeremiah also lamented for Josiah. And to this day all the singing men and the singing women speak of Josiah in their lamentations. They made it a custom in Israel; and indeed they are written in the Laments.

nkjv@Ezra:4:13 @ Let it now be known to the king that, if this city is built and the walls completed, they will not pay tax, tribute, or custom, and the king's treasury will be diminished.

nkjv@Ezra:4:15 @ that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers. And you will find in the book of the records and know that this city is a rebellious city, harmful to kings and provinces, and that they have incited sedition within the city in former times, for which cause this city was destroyed.

nkjv@Ezra:4:16 @ We inform the king that if this city is rebuilt and its walls are completed, the result will be that you will have no dominion beyond the River.

nkjv@Ezra:4:19 @ And I gave the command, and a search has been made, and it was found that this city in former times has revolted against kings, and rebellion and sedition have been fostered in it.

nkjv@Ezra:4:21 @ Now give the command to make these men cease, that this city may not be built until the command is given by me.

nkjv@Ezra:4:22 @ Take heed now that you do not fail to do this. Why should damage increase to the hurt of the kings?

nkjv@Ezra:5:3 @ At the same time Tattenai the governor of the region beyond the River and Shethar-Boznai and their companions came to them and spoke thus to them: "Who has commanded you to build this temple and finish this wall?"

nkjv@Ezra:5:4 @ Then, accordingly, we told them the names of the men who were constructing this building.

nkjv@Ezra:5:5 @ But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, so that they could not make them cease till a report could go to Darius. Then a written answer was returned concerning this matter.

nkjv@Ezra:5:6 @ This is a copy of the letter that Tattenai sent: The governor of the region beyond the River, and Shethar-Boznai, and his companions, the Persians who were in the region beyond the River, to Darius the king.

nkjv@Ezra:5:9 @ Then we asked those elders, and spoke thus to them: "Who commanded you to build this temple and to finish these walls?"

nkjv@Ezra:5:12 @ But because our fathers provoked the God of heaven to wrath, He gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this temple and carried the people away to Babylon.

nkjv@Ezra:5:13 @ However, in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus issued a decree to build this house of God.

nkjv@Ezra:5:17 @ Now therefore, if it seems good to the king, let a search be made in the king's treasure house, which is there in Babylon, whether it is so that a decree was issued by King Cyrus to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send us his pleasure concerning this matter.

nkjv@Ezra:6:7 @ Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God on its site.

nkjv@Ezra:6:17 @ And they offered sacrifices at the dedication of this house of God, one hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and as a sin offering for all Israel twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.

nkjv@Ezra:7:6 @ this Ezra came up from Babylon; and he was a skilled scribe in the Law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given. The king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him.

nkjv@Ezra:7:9 @ On the first day of the first month he began his journey from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.

nkjv@Ezra:7:15 @ and whereas you are to carry the silver and gold which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose dwelling is in Jerusalem;

nkjv@Ezra:7:17 @ now therefore, be careful to buy with this money bulls, rams, and lambs, with their grain offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them on the altar of the house of your God in Jerusalem.

nkjv@Ezra:7:23 @ Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it diligently be done for the house of the God of heaven. For why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?

nkjv@Ezra:7:24 @ Also we inform you that it shall not be lawful to impose tax, tribute, or custom on any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God.

nkjv@Ezra:7:27 @ Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem,

nkjv@Ezra:7:28 @ and has extended mercy to me before the king and his counselors, and before all the king's mighty princes. So I was encouraged, as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me; and I gathered leading men of Israel to go up with me.

nkjv@Ezra:8:1 @ These are the heads of their fathers' houses, and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of King Artaxerxes:

nkjv@Ezra:8:17 @ And I gave them a command for Iddo the chief man at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say to Iddo and his brethren the Nethinim at the place Casiphia--that they should bring us servants for the house of our God.

nkjv@Ezra:8:18 @ Then, by the good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely Sherebiah, with his sons and brothers, eighteen men;

nkjv@Ezra:8:19 @ and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty men;

nkjv@Ezra:8:22 @ For I was ashamed to request of the king an escort of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the road, because we had spoken to the king, saying, "The hand of our God is upon all those for good who seek Him, but His power and His wrath are against all those who forsake Him."

nkjv@Ezra:8:23 @ So we fasted and entreated our God for this, and He answered our prayer.

nkjv@Ezra:8:25 @ and weighed out to them the silver, the gold, and the articles, the offering for the house of our God which the king and his counselors and his princes, and all Israel who were present, had offered.

nkjv@Ezra:8:35 @ The children of those who had been carried away captive, who had come from the captivity, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats as a sin offering. All this was a burnt offering to the LORD.

nkjv@Ezra:9:2 @ For they have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, so that the holy seed is mixed with the peoples of those lands. Indeed, the hand of the leaders and rulers has been foremost in this trespass."

nkjv@Ezra:9:3 @ So when I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and plucked out some of the hair of my head and beard, and sat down astonished.

nkjv@Ezra:9:7 @ Since the days of our fathers to this day we have been very guilty, and for our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, and to humiliation, as it is this day.

nkjv@Ezra:9:8 @ And now for a little while grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and give us a measure of revival in our bondage.

nkjv@Ezra:9:10 @ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken Your commandments,

nkjv@Ezra:9:13 @ And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, since You our God have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such deliverance as this,

nkjv@Ezra:9:15 @ O LORD God of Israel, You are righteous, for we are left as a remnant, as it is this day. Here we are before You, in our guilt, though no one can stand before You because of this!"

nkjv@Ezra:10:2 @ And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, spoke up and said to Ezra, "We have trespassed against our God, and have taken pagan wives from the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope in Israel in spite of this.

nkjv@Ezra:10:4 @ Arise, for this matter is your responsibility. We also are with you. Be of good courage, and do it."

nkjv@Ezra:10:5 @ Then Ezra arose, and made the leaders of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel swear an oath that they would do according to this word. So they swore an oath.

nkjv@Ezra:10:8 @ and that whoever would not come within three days, according to the instructions of the leaders and elders, all his property would be confiscated, and he himself would be separated from the assembly of those from the captivity.

nkjv@Ezra:10:9 @ So all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month; and all the people sat in the open square of the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because of heavy rain.

nkjv@Ezra:10:11 @ Now therefore, make confession to the LORD God of your fathers, and do His will; separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the pagan wives."

nkjv@Ezra:10:13 @ But there are many people; it is the season for heavy rain, and we are not able to stand outside. Nor is this the work of one or two days, for there are many of us who have transgressed in this matter.

nkjv@Ezra:10:14 @ Please, let the leaders of our entire assembly stand; and let all those in our cities who have taken pagan wives come at appointed times, together with the elders and judges of their cities, until the fierce wrath of our God is turned away from us in this matter."

nkjv@Ezra:10:15 @ Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah opposed this, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite gave them support.

nkjv@Ezra:10:18 @ And among the sons of the priests who had taken pagan wives the following were found of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brothers: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:1 @ And it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, that I took the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never been sad in his presence before.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:2 @ Therefore the king said to me, "Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing but sorrow of heart." So I became dreadfully afraid,

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:18 @ And I told them of the hand of my God which had been good upon me, and also of the king's words that he had spoken to me. So they said, "Let us rise up and build." Then they set their hands to this good work.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:19 @ But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official, and Geshem the Arab heard of it, they laughed at us and despised us, and said, "What is this thing that you are doing? Will you rebel against the king?"

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:20 @ So I answered them, and said to them, "The God of heaven Himself will prosper us; therefore we His servants will arise and build, but you have no heritage or right or memorial in Jerusalem."

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:1 @ Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests and built the Sheep Gate; they consecrated it and hung its doors. They built as far as the Tower of the Hundred, and consecrated it, then as far as the Tower of Hananel.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:10 @ Next to them Jedaiah the son of Harumaph made repairs in front of his house. And next to him Hattush the son of Hashabniah made repairs.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:23 @ After him Benjamin and Hasshub made repairs opposite their house. After them Azariah the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ananiah, made repairs by his house.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:28 @ Beyond the Horse Gate the priests made repairs, each in front of his own house.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:29 @ After them Zadok the son of Immer made repairs in front of his own house. After him Shemaiah the son of Shechaniah, the keeper of the East Gate, made repairs.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:30 @ After him Hananiah the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun, the sixth son of Zalaph, repaired another section. After him Meshullam the son of Berechiah made repairs in front of his dwelling.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:15 @ And it happened, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had brought their plot to nothing, that all of us returned to the wall, everyone to his work.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:18 @ Every one of the builders had his sword girded at his side as he built. And the one who sounded the trumpet was beside me.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:22 @ At the same time I also said to the people, "Let each man and his servant stay at night in Jerusalem, that they may be our guard by night and a working party by day."

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:7 @ After serious thought, I rebuked the nobles and rulers, and said to them, "Each of you is exacting usury from his brother." So I called a great assembly against them.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:12 @ So they said, "We will restore it, and will require nothing from them; we will do as you say." Then I called the priests, and required an oath from them that they would do according to this promise.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:13 @ Then I shook out the fold of my garment and said, "So may God shake out each man from his house, and from his property, who does not perform this promise. Even thus may he be shaken out and emptied." And all the assembly said, "Amen!" and praised the LORD. Then the people did according to this promise.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:16 @ Indeed, I also continued the work on this wall, and we did not buy any land. All my servants were gathered there for the work.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:18 @ Now that which was prepared daily was one ox and six choice sheep. Also fowl were prepared for me, and once every ten days an abundance of all kinds of wine. Yet in spite of this I did not demand the governor's provisions, because the bondage was heavy on this people.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:11 @ And I said, "Should such a man as I flee? And who is there such as I who would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in!"

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:12 @ Then I perceived that God had not sent him at all, but that he pronounced this prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:13 @ For this reason he was hired, that I should be afraid and act that way and sin, so that they might have cause for an evil report, that they might reproach me.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:16 @ And it happened, when all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations around us saw these things, that they were very disheartened in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was done by our God.

nkjv@Nehemiah:11:30 @ Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages; in Lachish and its fields; in Azekah and its villages. They dwelt from Beersheba to the Valley of Hinnom.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:8 @ Moreover the Levites were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah who led the thanksgiving psalms, he and his brethren.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:36 @ and his brethren, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God. And Ezra the scribe went before them.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:45 @ Both the singers and the gatekeepers kept the charge of their God and the charge of the purification, according to the command of David and Solomon his son.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:4 @ Now before this, Eliashib the priest, having authority over the storerooms of the house of our God, was allied with Tobiah.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:6 @ But during all this I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had returned to the king. Then after certain days I obtained leave from the king,

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:10 @ I also realized that the portions for the Levites had not been given them; for each of the Levites and the singers who did the work had gone back to his field.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:14 @ Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and do not wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its services!

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:17 @ Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, "What evil thing is this that you do, by which you profane the Sabbath day?

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:18 @ Did not your fathers do thus, and did not our God bring all this disaster on us and on this city? Yet you bring added wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath."

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:22 @ And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should go and guard the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of Your mercy!

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:26 @ Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations there was no king like him, who was beloved of his God; and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless pagan women caused even him to sin.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:27 @ Should we then hear of your doing all this great evil, transgressing against our God by marrying pagan women?"

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:30 @ Thus I cleansed them of everything pagan. I also assigned duties to the priests and the Levites, each to his service,

nkjv@Esther:1:1 @ Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus (this was the Ahasuerus who reigned over one hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India to Ethiopia),

nkjv@Esther:1:2 @ in those days when King Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the citadel,

nkjv@Esther:1:3 @ that in the third year of his reign he made a feast for all his officials and servants--the powers of Persia and Media, the nobles, and the princes of the provinces being before him--

nkjv@Esther:1:4 @ when he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the splendor of his excellent majesty for many days, one hundred and eighty days in all.

nkjv@Esther:1:8 @ In accordance with the law, the drinking was not compulsory; for so the king had ordered all the officers of his household, that they should do according to each man's pleasure.

nkjv@Esther:1:12 @ But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's command brought by his eunuchs; therefore the king was furious, and his anger burned within him.

nkjv@Esther:1:13 @ Then the king said to the wise men who understood the times (for this was the king's manner toward all who knew law and justice,

nkjv@Esther:1:14 @ those closest to him being Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who had access to the king's presence, and who ranked highest in the kingdom):

nkjv@Esther:1:18 @ This very day the noble ladies of Persia and Media will say to all the king's officials that they have heard of the behavior of the queen. Thus there will be excessive contempt and wrath.

nkjv@Esther:1:20 @ When the king's decree which he will make is proclaimed throughout all his empire (for it is great), all wives will honor their husbands, both great and small."

nkjv@Esther:1:22 @ Then he sent letters to all the king's provinces, to each province in its own script, and to every people in their own language, that each man should be master in his own house, and speak in the language of his own people.

nkjv@Esther:2:3 @ and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather all the beautiful young virgins to Shushan the citadel, into the women's quarters, under the custody of Hegai the king's eunuch, custodian of the women. And let beauty preparations be given them.

nkjv@Esther:2:4 @ Then let the young woman who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti." This thing pleased the king, and he did so.

nkjv@Esther:2:7 @ And Mordecai had brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter, for she had neither father nor mother. The young woman was lovely and beautiful. When her father and mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter.

nkjv@Esther:2:9 @ Now the young woman pleased him, and she obtained his favor; so he readily gave beauty preparations to her, besides her allowance. Then seven choice maidservants were provided for her from the king's palace, and he moved her and her maidservants to the best place in the house of the women.

nkjv@Esther:2:15 @ Now when the turn came for Esther the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as his daughter, to go in to the king, she requested nothing but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the custodian of the women, advised. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all who saw her.

nkjv@Esther:2:16 @ So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, into his royal palace, in the tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

nkjv@Esther:2:17 @ The king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.

nkjv@Esther:2:18 @ Then the king made a great feast, the Feast of Esther, for all his officials and servants; and he proclaimed a holiday in the provinces and gave gifts according to the generosity of a king.

nkjv@Esther:3:1 @ After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and set his seat above all the princes who were with him.

nkjv@Esther:3:10 @ So the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.

nkjv@Esther:4:1 @ When Mordecai learned all that had happened, he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city. He cried out with a loud and bitter cry.

nkjv@Esther:4:4 @ So Esther's maids and eunuchs came and told her, and the queen was deeply distressed. Then she sent garments to clothe Mordecai and take his sackcloth away from him, but he would not accept them.

nkjv@Esther:4:5 @ Then Esther called Hathach, one of the king's eunuchs whom he had appointed to attend her, and she gave him a command concerning Mordecai, to learn what and why this was.

nkjv@Esther:4:14 @ For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

nkjv@Esther:4:17 @ So Mordecai went his way and did according to all that Esther commanded him.

nkjv@Esther:5:1 @ Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace, across from the king's house, while the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, facing the entrance of the house.

nkjv@Esther:5:2 @ So it was, when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, that she found favor in his sight, and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther went near and touched the top of the scepter.

nkjv@Esther:5:7 @ Then Esther answered and said, "My petition and request is this:

nkjv@Esther:5:10 @ Nevertheless Haman restrained himself and went home, and he sent and called for his friends and his wife Zeresh.

nkjv@Esther:5:11 @ Then Haman told them of his great riches, the multitude of his children, everything in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the officials and servants of the king.

nkjv@Esther:5:13 @ Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate."

nkjv@Esther:5:14 @ Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, "Let a gallows be made, fifty cubits high, and in the morning suggest to the king that Mordecai be hanged on it; then go merrily with the king to the banquet." And the thing pleased Haman; so he had the gallows made.

nkjv@Esther:6:3 @ Then the king said, "What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?" And the king's servants who attended him said, "Nothing has been done for him."

nkjv@Esther:6:6 @ So Haman came in, and the king asked him, "What shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honor?" Now Haman thought in his heart, "Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?"

nkjv@Esther:6:9 @ Then let this robe and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that he may array the man whom the king delights to honor. Then parade him on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him: "Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!'

nkjv@Esther:6:12 @ Afterward Mordecai went back to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered.

nkjv@Esther:6:13 @ When Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him, his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, "If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him but will surely fall before him."

nkjv@Esther:7:5 @ So King Ahasuerus answered and said to Queen Esther, "Who is he, and where is he, who would dare presume in his heart to do such a thing?"

nkjv@Esther:7:6 @ And Esther said, "The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman!" So Haman was terrified before the king and queen.

nkjv@Esther:7:7 @ Then the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman stood before Queen Esther, pleading for his life, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king.

nkjv@Esther:8:2 @ So the king took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai; and Esther appointed Mordecai over the house of Haman.

nkjv@Esther:8:3 @ Now Esther spoke again to the king, fell down at his feet, and implored him with tears to counteract the evil of Haman the Agagite, and the scheme which he had devised against the Jews.

nkjv@Esther:8:5 @ and said, "If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight and the thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to annihilate the Jews who are in all the king's provinces.

nkjv@Esther:8:7 @ Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and Mordecai the Jew, "Indeed, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows because he tried to lay his hand on the Jews.

nkjv@Esther:9:1 @ Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, the time came for the king's command and his decree to be executed. On the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, the opposite occurred, in that the Jews themselves overpowered those who hated them.

nkjv@Esther:9:4 @ For Mordecai was great in the king's palace, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces; for this man Mordecai became increasingly prominent.

nkjv@Esther:9:14 @ So the king commanded this to be done; the decree was issued in Shushan, and they hanged Haman's ten sons.

nkjv@Esther:9:17 @ This was on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar. And on the fourteenth of the month they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

nkjv@Esther:9:25 @ but when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letter that this wicked plot which Haman had devised against the Jews should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

nkjv@Esther:9:26 @ So they called these days Purim, after the name Pur. Therefore, because of all the words of this letter, what they had seen concerning this matter, and what had happened to them,

nkjv@Esther:9:29 @ Then Queen Esther, the daughter of Abihail, with Mordecai the Jew, wrote with full authority to confirm this second letter about Purim.

nkjv@Esther:10:2 @ Now all the acts of his power and his might, and the account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

nkjv@Esther:10:3 @ For Mordecai the Jew was second to King Ahasuerus, and was great among the Jews and well received by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.

nkjv@Zechariah:3:10 @ In that day,' says the LORD of hosts, "Everyone will invite his neighbor Under his vine and under his fig tree."'

nkjv@Zechariah:4:1 @ Now the angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.

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:4:21 @ 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:4:24 @ 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:5:22 @ 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:5:28 @ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

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

nkjv@Matthew:5:32 @ But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.

nkjv@Matthew:5:35 @ nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

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

nkjv@Matthew:6:11 @ Give us this day our daily bread.

nkjv@Matthew:6:27 @ Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

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:6:33 @ But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

nkjv@Matthew:7:9 @ Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

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

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:7:26 @ "But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:

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

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

nkjv@Matthew:8:9 @ For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, "Go,' and he goes; and to another, "Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, "Do this,' and he does it."

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:8:20 @ And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."

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

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

nkjv@Matthew:9:1 @ So He got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own city.

nkjv@Matthew:9:3 @ And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, "This Man blasphemes!"

nkjv@Matthew:9:7 @ And he arose and departed to his house.

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:9:13 @ 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:9:19 @ So Jesus arose and followed him, and so did His disciples.

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

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:9:33 @ 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:9:37 @ 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:10:2 @ Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

nkjv@Matthew:10:10 @ nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; for a worker is worthy of his food.

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:10:23 @ 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:10:24 @ "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

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:10:35 @ For I have come to "set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law';

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

nkjv@Matthew:10:38 @ And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

nkjv@Matthew:10:39 @ He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

nkjv@Matthew:10:42 @ And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward."

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:11:10 @ For this is he of whom it is written: "Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.'

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

nkjv@Matthew:11:23 @ 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: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:12:6 @ Yet I say to you that in this place there is One greater than the temple.

nkjv@Matthew:12:7 @ But if you had known what this means, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless.

nkjv@Matthew:12:19 @ He will not quarrel nor cry out, Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.

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

nkjv@Matthew:12:23 @ And all the multitudes were amazed and said, "Could this be the Son of David?"

nkjv@Matthew:12:24 @ Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, "This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons."

nkjv@Matthew:12:26 @ If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

nkjv@Matthew:12:29 @ Or how can one 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@Matthew:12:32 @ Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.

nkjv@Matthew:12:35 @ A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

nkjv@Matthew:12:41 @ The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.

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:12:45 @ 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:12:46 @ While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him.

nkjv@Matthew:12:49 @ And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, "Here are My mother and My brothers!

nkjv@Matthew:13:15 @ For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.'

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:13:20 @ But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

nkjv@Matthew:13:22 @ Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

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:13:28 @ 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:13:36 @ Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field."

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:13:52 @ Then He said to them, "Therefore every scribe instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old."

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:13:55 @ Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?

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:14:2 @ and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."

nkjv@Matthew:14:3 @ For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

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:14:15 @ 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:14:22 @ 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:14:31 @ And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"

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:15:5 @ But you say, "Whoever says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God"--

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:15:11 @ Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man."

nkjv@Matthew:15:12 @ Then His disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?"

nkjv@Matthew:15:15 @ Then Peter answered and said to Him, "Explain this parable to us."

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:15:32 @ 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:15:33 @ Then His disciples said to Him, "Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?"

nkjv@Matthew:15:36 @ And He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude.

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

nkjv@Matthew:16:13 @ When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?"

nkjv@Matthew:16:17 @ Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:16:18 @ And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

nkjv@Matthew:16:20 @ Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.

nkjv@Matthew:16:21 @ From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.

nkjv@Matthew:16:22 @ Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, "Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!"

nkjv@Matthew:16:24 @ Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

nkjv@Matthew:16:25 @ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

nkjv@Matthew:16:26 @ For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

nkjv@Matthew:16:27 @ For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.

nkjv@Matthew:16:28 @ Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."

nkjv@Matthew:17:1 @ Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves;

nkjv@Matthew:17:2 @ and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.

nkjv@Matthew:17:5 @ While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!"

nkjv@Matthew:17:10 @ And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

nkjv@Matthew:17:20 @ So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, "Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

nkjv@Matthew:17:21 @ However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."

nkjv@Matthew:18:4 @ Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:18:5 @ Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.

nkjv@Matthew:18:6 @ "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

nkjv@Matthew:18:15 @ "Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.

nkjv@Matthew:18:25 @ But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made.

nkjv@Matthew:18:28 @ "But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, "Pay me what you owe!'

nkjv@Mark:1:22 @ And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

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:1:28 @ And immediately His fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.

nkjv@Mark:1:38 @ But He said to them, "Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because for this purpose I have come forth."

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:3:7 @ But Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea. And a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, and from Judea

nkjv@Mark:3:9 @ So He told His disciples that a small boat should be kept ready for Him because of the multitude, lest they should crush Him.

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

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

nkjv@Mark:5:28 @ For she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well."

nkjv@Mark:5:32 @ And He looked around to see her who had done this thing.

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: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:6:4 @ But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house."

nkjv@Mark:6:5 @ Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

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:6:21 @ 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:6:27 @ Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in prison,

nkjv@Mark:6:28 @ brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

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

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:7:33 @ And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his ears, and He spat and touched his tongue.

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

nkjv@Mark:8:1 @ In those days, the multitude being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them,

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

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:8:12 @ 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:8:23 @ 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:8:25 @ 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:8:32 @ 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:8:35 @ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it.

nkjv@Mark:9:18 @ And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not."

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

nkjv@Mark:9:29 @ So He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting."

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:9:32 @ But they did not understand this saying, and were afraid to ask Him.

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:14:4 @ But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, "Why was this fragrant oil wasted?

nkjv@Mark:14:9 @ Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her."

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:14:16 @ 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:14:22 @ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."

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

nkjv@Mark:14:30 @ 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:14:32 @ Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sit here while I pray."

nkjv@Mark:14:36 @ And He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will."

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:14:51 @ 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:14:58 @ "We heard Him say, "I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands."'

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:15:24 @ 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:15:27 @ With Him they also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left.

nkjv@Mark:15:37 @ And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.

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@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:1:15 @ 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:1:18 @ And Zacharias said to the angel, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years."

nkjv@Luke:1:23 @ So it was, as soon as the days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house.

nkjv@Luke:1:24 @ Now after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying,

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:1:31 @ And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.

nkjv@Luke:1:32 @ He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.

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

nkjv@Luke:1:48 @ For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.

nkjv@Luke:1:59 @ So it was, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him by the name of his father, Zacharias.

nkjv@Luke:1:60 @ His mother answered and said, "No; he shall be called John."

nkjv@Luke:1:61 @ But they said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."

nkjv@Luke:1:62 @ So they made signs to his father--what he would have him called.

nkjv@Luke:1:63 @ And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, "His name is John." So they all marveled.

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

nkjv@Luke:1:66 @ And all those who heard them kept them in their hearts, saying, "What kind of child will this be?" And the hand of the Lord was with him.

nkjv@Luke:1:67 @ Now his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:

nkjv@Luke:1:68 @ "Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, For He has visited and redeemed His people,

nkjv@Luke:2:17 @ Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child.

nkjv@Luke:2:21 @ And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called JESUS, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

nkjv@Luke:2:25 @ And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

nkjv@Luke:2:47 @ And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.

nkjv@Luke:2:48 @ So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously."

nkjv@Luke:2:51 @ Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart.

nkjv@Luke:4:21 @ And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

nkjv@Luke:4:22 @ So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, "Is this not Joseph's son?"

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:5:21 @ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

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:5:29 @ 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:5:30 @ And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, "Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

nkjv@Luke:7:1 @ Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum.

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:7:8 @ For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, "Go,' and he goes; and to another, "Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, "Do this,' and he does it."

nkjv@Luke:12:20 @ But God said to him, "Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?'

nkjv@Luke:12:22 @ Then He said to His disciples, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.

nkjv@Luke:12:25 @ And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

nkjv@Luke:12:27 @ Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

nkjv@Luke:12:39 @ But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.

nkjv@Luke:12:41 @ Then Peter said to Him, "Lord, do You speak this parable only to us, or to all people?"

nkjv@Luke:12:42 @ And the Lord said, "Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?

nkjv@Luke:12:43 @ Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.

nkjv@Luke:12:45 @ But if that servant says in his heart, "My master is delaying his coming,' and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk,

nkjv@Luke:12:46 @ the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

nkjv@Luke:12:47 @ And that servant who knew his master's will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

nkjv@Luke:12:56 @ Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?

nkjv@Luke:13:6 @ He also spoke this parable: "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.

nkjv@Luke:13:7 @ Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, "Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?'

nkjv@Luke:13:8 @ But he answered and said to him, "Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.

nkjv@Luke:13:13 @ And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

nkjv@Luke:13:15 @ The Lord then answered him and said, "Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it?

nkjv@Luke:13:16 @ So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound--think of it--for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?"

nkjv@Luke:13:17 @ And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.

nkjv@Luke:13:19 @ It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches."

nkjv@Luke:14:9 @ and he who invited you and him come and say to you, "Give place to this man,' and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place.

nkjv@Luke:14:17 @ and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, "Come, for all things are now ready.'

nkjv@Luke:14:21 @ So that servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, "Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind.'

nkjv@Luke:14:26 @ "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.

nkjv@Luke:14:27 @ And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

nkjv@Luke:14:30 @ saying, "This man began to build and was not able to finish.'

nkjv@Luke:15:2 @ And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, "This Man receives sinners and eats with them."

nkjv@Luke:15:3 @ So He spoke this parable to them, saying:

nkjv@Luke:15:5 @ And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

nkjv@Luke:15:6 @ And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, "Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!'

nkjv@Luke:15:12 @ And the younger of them said to his father, "Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.' So he divided to them his livelihood.

nkjv@Luke:15:13 @ And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.

nkjv@Luke:15:15 @ Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

nkjv@Luke:15:16 @ And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.

nkjv@Luke:15:20 @ "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.

nkjv@Luke:15:22 @ "But the father said to his servants, "Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.

nkjv@Luke:15:24 @ for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' And they began to be merry.

nkjv@Luke:15:25 @ "Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.

nkjv@Luke:15:28 @ "But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him.

nkjv@Luke:15:29 @ So he answered and said to his father, "Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends.

nkjv@Luke:15:30 @ But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.'

nkjv@Luke:16:1 @ He also said to His disciples: "There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this man was wasting his goods.

nkjv@Luke:16:2 @ So he called him and said to him, "What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.'

nkjv@Luke:16:5 @ "So he called every one of his master's debtors to him, and said to the first, "How much do you owe my master?'

nkjv@Luke:16:8 @ So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light.

nkjv@Luke:16:18 @ "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.

nkjv@Luke:16:20 @ But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate,

nkjv@Luke:16:21 @ desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

nkjv@Luke:16:23 @ And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

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:16:26 @ 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:16:28 @ for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.'

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:17:6 @ So the Lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, "Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

nkjv@Luke:17:16 @ and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.

nkjv@Luke:17:18 @ Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?"

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: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:18:9 @ Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

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:18:23 @ But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.

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:18:34 @ 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:18:43 @ 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:19:9 @ And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;

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:19:28 @ 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:19:42 @ 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:20:2 @ and spoke to Him, saying, "Tell us, by what authority are You doing these things? Or who is he who gave You this authority?"

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:20:14 @ 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:20:17 @ 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:20:19 @ 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:20:26 @ 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:20:28 @ 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:20:34 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

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:21:3 @ So He said, "Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all;

nkjv@Luke:21:23 @ But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people.

nkjv@Luke:21:34 @ "But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.

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:22:15 @ Then He said to them, "With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;

nkjv@Luke:22:17 @ Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, "Take this and divide it among yourselves;

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:22:23 @ Then they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.

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:22:36 @ 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:22:37 @ For I say to you that this which is written must still be accomplished in Me: "And He was numbered with the transgressors.' For the things concerning Me have an end."

nkjv@Luke:22:39 @ Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him.

nkjv@Luke:22:42 @ saying, "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done."

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:22:50 @ And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

nkjv@Luke:22:51 @ But Jesus answered and said, "Permit even this." And He touched his ear and healed him.

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:22:56 @ 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:22:59 @ Then after about an hour had passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a Galilean."

nkjv@Luke:22:71 @ And they said, "What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth."

nkjv@Luke:23:2 @ And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ, a King."

nkjv@Luke:23:4 @ So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, "I find no fault in this Man."

nkjv@Luke:23:5 @ But they were the more fierce, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place."

nkjv@Luke:23:11 @ Then Herod, with his men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.

nkjv@Luke:23:14 @ said to them, "You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him;

nkjv@Luke:23:18 @ And they all cried out at once, saying, "Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas"--

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:23:38 @ And an inscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

nkjv@Luke:23:41 @ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong."

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:23:49 @ But all His acquaintances, and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

nkjv@Luke:23:52 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

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:24:4 @ And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.

nkjv@Luke:24:8 @ And they remembered His words.

nkjv@Luke:24:17 @ And He said to them, "What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and are sad?"

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:24:23 @ 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:24:26 @ Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?"

nkjv@Luke:24:40 @ When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

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:24:50 @ And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

nkjv@John:1:7 @ This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.

nkjv@John:1:11 @ He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

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:1:15 @ John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, "He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me."'

nkjv@John:1:16 @ And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.

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:1:30 @ This is He of whom I said, "After me comes a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.'

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:1:35 @ Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples.

nkjv@John:1:41 @ He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated, the Christ).

nkjv@John:2:2 @ Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.

nkjv@John:2:5 @ His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."

nkjv@John:2:11 @ This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.

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:2:17 @ Then His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up."

nkjv@John:2:19 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it 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:2:21 @ But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

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:3:2 @ This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him."

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:3:16 @ 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:3:19 @ 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:3:20 @ For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

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:3:22 @ After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He remained with them and baptized.

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:3:32 @ And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.

nkjv@John:3:33 @ He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true.

nkjv@John:3:35 @ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand.

nkjv@John:4:2 @ (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples),

nkjv@John:4:5 @ So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

nkjv@John:4:6 @ Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

nkjv@John:4:8 @ For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

nkjv@John:4:12 @ Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?"

nkjv@John:4:13 @ Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,

nkjv@John:4:15 @ The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."

nkjv@John:4:20 @ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship."

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:4:27 @ And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why are You talking with her?"

nkjv@John:4:29 @ "Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?"

nkjv@John:4:31 @ In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."

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:4:37 @ For in this the saying is true: "One sows and another reaps.'

nkjv@John:4:41 @ And many more believed because of His own word.

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:4:44 @ For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

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:4:50 @ 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:4:51 @ And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, "Your son lives!"

nkjv@John:4:53 @ So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." And he himself believed, and his whole household.

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:5:9 @ And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath.

nkjv@John:5:16 @ For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.

nkjv@John:5:18 @ Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.

nkjv@John:5:28 @ Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice

nkjv@John:5:35 @ He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.

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:5:43 @ I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

nkjv@John:5:47 @ But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?"

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:6:6 @ But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.

nkjv@John:6:8 @ One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,

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:6:14 @ 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:6:16 @ Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

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:6:24 @ 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:6:27 @ 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:6:29 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent."

nkjv@John:6:34 @ Then they said to Him, "Lord, give us this bread always."

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:6:42 @ 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:6:50 @ 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:6:52 @ The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?"

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:6:58 @ 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:6:66 @ From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.

nkjv@John:7:3 @ His brothers therefore said to Him, "Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing.

nkjv@John:7:5 @ For even His brothers did not believe in Him.

nkjv@John:7:8 @ You go up to this feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come."

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:7:15 @ And the Jews marveled, saying, "How does this Man know letters, having never studied?"

nkjv@John:7:16 @ Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

nkjv@John:7:17 @ If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.

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:7:25 @ Now some of them from Jerusalem said, "Is this not He whom they seek to kill?

nkjv@John:7:26 @ But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ?

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:7:30 @ Therefore they sought to take Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

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:7:36 @ What is this thing that He said, "You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come'?"

nkjv@John:7:38 @ He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."

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:7:41 @ Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "Will the Christ come out of Galilee?

nkjv@John:7:46 @ The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this Man!"

nkjv@John:7:49 @ But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed."

nkjv@John:7:53 @ And everyone went to his own house.

nkjv@John:8:4 @ they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act.

nkjv@John:8:6 @ This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear.

nkjv@John:8:20 @ These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His hour had not yet 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:8:40 @ But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

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:8:55 @ Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, "I do not know Him,' I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word.

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:9:8 @ Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, "Is not this he who sat and begged?"

nkjv@John:9:9 @ Some said, "This is he." Others said, "He is like him." He said, "I am he."

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:9:16 @ Therefore some of the Pharisees said, "This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" And there was a division among them.

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:9:24 @ So they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, "Give God the glory! We know that this Man is a sinner."

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:9:29 @ We know that God spoke to Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where He is from."

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:9:31 @ Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.

nkjv@John:9:33 @ If this Man were not from God, He could do nothing."

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: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:10:6 @ Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.

nkjv@John:10:11 @ "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.

nkjv@John:10:16 @ And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.

nkjv@John:10:18 @ No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father."

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:11:2 @ It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was 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:11:7 @ Then after this He said to the disciples, "Let us go to Judea again."

nkjv@John:11:9 @ Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

nkjv@John:11:12 @ Then His disciples said, "Lord, if he sleeps he will get well."

nkjv@John:11:13 @ However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep.

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:11:26 @ And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"

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:11:37 @ 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:11:39 @ 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:11:44 @ And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let him go."

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:11:48 @ If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation."

nkjv@John:11:51 @ Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

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: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:12:4 @ But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who would betray Him, said,

nkjv@John:12:5 @ "Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"

nkjv@John:12:6 @ This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.

nkjv@John:12:7 @ But Jesus said, "Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of My burial.

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:12:18 @ For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign.

nkjv@John:12:25 @ He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

nkjv@John:12:27 @ "Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? "Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this purpose I came to this hour.

nkjv@John:12:30 @ Jesus answered and said, "This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.

nkjv@John:12:31 @ Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

nkjv@John:12:33 @ This He said, signifying by what death He would die.

nkjv@John:12:34 @ The people answered Him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, "The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"

nkjv@John:12:41 @ These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

nkjv@John:12:50 @ And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I 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:13:3 @ 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:13:7 @ Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this."

nkjv@John:13:10 @ Jesus said to him, "He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."

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:13:16 @ 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:13:23 @ Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.

nkjv@John:13:28 @ But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him.

nkjv@John:13:35 @ By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

nkjv@John:14:30 @ I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.

nkjv@John:15:8 @ By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

nkjv@John:15:10 @ If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.

nkjv@John:15:12 @ This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

nkjv@John:15:13 @ Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.

nkjv@John:15:15 @ No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

nkjv@John:15:20 @ Remember the word that I said to you, "A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

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:16:11 @ of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

nkjv@John:16:13 @ However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

nkjv@John:16:17 @ Then some of His disciples said among themselves, "What is this that He says to us, "A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'; and, "because I go to the Father'?"

nkjv@John:16:18 @ They said therefore, "What is this that He says, "A little while'? We do not know what He is saying."

nkjv@John:16:29 @ His disciples said to Him, "See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech!

nkjv@John:16:30 @ Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God."

nkjv@John:16:32 @ Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

nkjv@John:17:1 @ Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,

nkjv@John:17:3 @ And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

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:18:10 @ 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:18:17 @ 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:18:22 @ 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:18:25 @ 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:18:29 @ Pilate then went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this Man?"

nkjv@John:18:34 @ Jesus answered him, "Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?"

nkjv@John:18:36 @ Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here."

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:19:2 @ And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe.

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:19:17 @ And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha,

nkjv@John:19:20 @ 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:19:23 @ 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:19:25 @ 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:19:28 @ After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I thirst!"

nkjv@John:19:29 @ Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth.

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:19:33 @ But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

nkjv@John:19:34 @ But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

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:19:38 @ After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus.

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:20:20 @ 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:20:22 @ And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

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:20:26 @ And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace to you!"

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:21:1 @ After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself:

nkjv@John:21:2 @ Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.

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:21:14 @ This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.

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:21:21 @ Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, "But Lord, what about this man?"

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:21:24 @ This is the disciple who testifies of these things, and wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

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:1:7 @ And He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.

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:1:14 @ 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:21:9 @ Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

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:21:19 @ When he had greeted them, he told in detail those things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.

nkjv@Acts:21:28 @ 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:21:40 @ 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:22:3 @ "I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the strictness of our fathers' law, and was zealous toward God as you all are today.

nkjv@Acts:22:4 @ I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women,

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:22:20 @ 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:22:22 @ 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:22:26 @ 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:22:28 @ The commander answered, "With a large sum I obtained this citizenship." And Paul said, "But I was born a citizen."

nkjv@Acts:22:30 @ The next day, because he wanted to know for certain why he was accused by the Jews, he released him from his bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down and set him before them.

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:23:7 @ 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:23:13 @ Now there were more than forty who had formed this conspiracy.

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:23:18 @ So he took him and brought him to the commander and said, "Paul the prisoner called me to him and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to say to you."

nkjv@Acts:23:27 @ This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them. Coming with the troops I rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

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: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:24:8 @ commanding his accusers to come to you. By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him."

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:24:14 @ 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:24:21 @ 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:24:23 @ 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:25:5 @ "Therefore," he said, "let those who have authority among you go down with me and accuse this man, to see if there is any fault in him."

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: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:26:7 @ To this promise our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God night and day, hope to attain. For this hope's sake, King Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews.

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:26:16 @ 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:26:22 @ Therefore, having obtained help from God, to this day I stand, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other things than those which the prophets and Moses said would come--

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:26:31 @ 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:27:3 @ 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:27:10 @ 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:27:21 @ 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:27:23 @ For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve,

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: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:28:8 @ 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:28:20 @ For this reason therefore I have called for you, to see you and speak with you, because for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain."

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:28:26 @ saying, "Go to this people and say: "Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand; And seeing you will see, and not perceive;

nkjv@Acts:28:27 @ For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them."'

nkjv@Acts:28:30 @ Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him,

nkjv@Romans:1:2 @ which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,

nkjv@Romans:1:3 @ concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,

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:1:9 @ 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:1:20 @ 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:1:26 @ 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:1:29 @ being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,

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:2:6 @ who "will render to each one according to his deeds":

nkjv@Romans:2:18 @ and know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

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:3:7 @ For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

nkjv@Romans:3:20 @ Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

nkjv@Romans:3:24 @ being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

nkjv@Romans:3:25 @ whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,

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:4:5 @ But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,

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:4:13 @ For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

nkjv@Romans:4:19 @ And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

nkjv@Romans:4:23 @ Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him,

nkjv@Romans:5:2 @ through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

nkjv@Romans:5:8 @ But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

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:6:3 @ Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

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:6:6 @ knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.

nkjv@Romans:7:24 @ O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

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:8:9 @ But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

nkjv@Romans:8:11 @ But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

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:8:24 @ 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:8:28 @ And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

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:8:32 @ He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

nkjv@Romans:9:9 @ For this is the word of promise: "At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son."

nkjv@Romans:9:10 @ And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac

nkjv@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth."

nkjv@Romans:9:19 @ You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?"

nkjv@Romans:9:20 @ But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?"

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:9:23 @ and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory,

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: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:11:2 @ God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,

nkjv@Romans:11:5 @ Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

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:11:22 @ Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

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:11:27 @ For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins."

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:11:34 @ "For who has known the mind of the LORD? Or who has become His counselor?"

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:12:20 @ 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:13:6 @ For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing.

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:13:11 @ 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:14:4 @ Who are you to judge another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

nkjv@Romans:14:5 @ One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.

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:14:13 @ Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother's way.

nkjv@Romans:15:2 @ Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.

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:15:22 @ For this reason I also have been much hindered from coming to you.

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:16:13 @ Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:8 @ Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:12 @ Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.

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:4:4 @ For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord.

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: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:5:10 @ 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:6:3 @ Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

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:6:14 @ And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:2 @ Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

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:7:4 @ The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

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:7:11 @ 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:7:25 @ 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:7:29 @ 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:7:31 @ and those who use this world as not misusing it. For the form of this world is passing away.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:33 @ But he who is married cares about the things of the world--how he may please his wife.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:35 @ And this I say for your own profit, not that I may put a leash on you, but for what is proper, and that you may serve the Lord without distraction.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:36 @ But if any man thinks he is behaving improperly toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of youth, and thus it must be, let him do what he wishes. He does not sin; let them marry.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:37 @ Nevertheless he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own will, and has so determined in his heart that he will keep his virgin, does well.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:3 @ But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak.

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:9:10 @ 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:9:17 @ For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a stewardship.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:23 @ Now this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:24 @ Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being.

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@2Corinthians:8:6 @ So we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also complete this grace in you as well.

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@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:4:16 @ Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

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:5:18 @ For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain," and, "The laborer is worthy of his wages."

nkjv@1Timothy:6:1 @ Let as many bondservants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and His doctrine may not be blasphemed.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:7 @ For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

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:6:17 @ 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@2Timothy:1:8 @ Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,

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:1:12 @ For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.

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: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:2:11 @ This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:17 @ And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort,

nkjv@2Timothy:2:19 @ Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity."

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:3:1 @ But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:

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:4:1 @ I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:

nkjv@2Timothy:4:8 @ Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.

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:4:14 @ Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works.

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@Titus:1:3 @ but has in due time manifested His word through preaching, which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;

nkjv@Titus:1:5 @ For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you--

nkjv@Titus:1:13 @ This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

nkjv@Titus:2:14 @ who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

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@Philemon:1:15 @ For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever,

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:1:7 @ And of the angels He says: "Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire."

nkjv@Hebrews:2:4 @ God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

nkjv@Hebrews:2:8 @ You have put all things in subjection under his feet." For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him.

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:3:2 @ who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house.

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:3:7 @ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you will hear His voice,

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: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:4:4 @ 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:4:7 @ 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:4:10 @ For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

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:5:3 @ Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:4 @ And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.

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:5:12 @ For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:3 @ And this we will do if God permits.

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:6:10 @ For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:17 @ Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath,

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:7:1 @ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

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:7:10 @ for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

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: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:8:3 @ For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One also have something to offer.

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:8:11 @ None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, "Know the LORD,' for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:8 @ the Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:11 @ But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.

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:9:15 @ 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:9:20 @ saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you."

nkjv@Hebrews:9:27 @ And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,

nkjv@Hebrews:10:12 @ But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,

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:10:20 @ by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,

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: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:11:7 @ 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:11:17 @ 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:11:21 @ 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: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:12:15 @ looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;

nkjv@Hebrews:12:16 @ lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright.

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:13:12 @ Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:13 @ Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:15 @ Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:19 @ But I especially urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:21 @ make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

nkjv@James:1:9 @ Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation,

nkjv@James:1:10 @ but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away.

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:1:14 @ But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.

nkjv@James:1:18 @ Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

nkjv@James:1:23 @ For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;

nkjv@James:1:25 @ But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

nkjv@James:1:26 @ If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless.

nkjv@James:1:27 @ Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

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:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?

nkjv@James:2:22 @ Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?

nkjv@James:3:13 @ Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.

nkjv@James:3:15 @ This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.

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:4:15 @ Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that."

nkjv@James:5:20 @ let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

nkjv@1Peter:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

nkjv@1Peter:1:6 @ In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials,

nkjv@1Peter:1:10 @ Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,

nkjv@1Peter:1:25 @ But the word of the LORD endures forever." Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.

nkjv@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

nkjv@1Peter:2:15 @ For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men--

nkjv@1Peter:2:19 @ For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully.

nkjv@1Peter:2:20 @ For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God.

nkjv@1Peter:2:21 @ For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

nkjv@1Peter:2:22 @ "Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth";

nkjv@1Peter:2:24 @ who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness--by whose stripes you were healed.

nkjv@1Peter:3:5 @ For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands,

nkjv@1Peter:3:9 @ not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

nkjv@1Peter:3:10 @ For "He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit.

nkjv@1Peter:3:12 @ For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil."

nkjv@1Peter:4:2 @ that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

nkjv@1Peter:4:6 @ For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

nkjv@1Peter:4:13 @ but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

nkjv@1Peter:4:16 @ Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.

nkjv@1Peter:5:10 @ But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

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@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:1:5 @ But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,

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:1:12 @ 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:1:16 @ 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:1:20 @ knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation,

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:2:16 @ but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man's voice restrained the madness of the prophet.

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:3:1 @ Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder),

nkjv@2Peter:3:3 @ knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts,

nkjv@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation."

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:3:8 @ But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

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:3:13 @ Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

nkjv@2Peter:3:16 @ as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

nkjv@2Peter:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;

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:1:5 @ This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

nkjv@1John:1:7 @ But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

nkjv@1John:1:10 @ If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

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:2:5 @ But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.

nkjv@1John:2:9 @ He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.

nkjv@1John:2:10 @ He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

nkjv@1John:2:11 @ But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

nkjv@1John:2:12 @ I write to you, little children, Because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake.

nkjv@1John:2:25 @ And this is the promise that He has promised us--eternal life.

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:3:3 @ And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

nkjv@1John:3:8 @ He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

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:3:11 @ For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

nkjv@1John:3:12 @ not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother's righteous.

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:3:15 @ Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

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:3:17 @ But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

nkjv@1John:3:19 @ And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.

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:4:2 @ By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

nkjv@1John:4:3 @ and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

nkjv@1John:4:6 @ We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

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:4:17 @ 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:4:20 @ 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:5:2 @ 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:5:4 @ For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

nkjv@1John:5:6 @ This is He who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.

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:5:14 @ Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

nkjv@1John:5:16 @ If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.

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@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:1:7 @ For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

nkjv@2John:1:10 @ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;

nkjv@2John:1:11 @ for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

nkjv@3John:1:7 @ because they went forth for His name's sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

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@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:1:5 @ But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

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@Revelation:1:3 @ Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.

nkjv@Revelation:1:4 @ John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne,

nkjv@Revelation:1:6 @ and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

nkjv@Revelation:1:14 @ His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire;

nkjv@Revelation:1:15 @ His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters;

nkjv@Revelation:1:16 @ He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

nkjv@Revelation:1:17 @ And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.

nkjv@Revelation:2:24 @ "Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden.

nkjv@Revelation:3:5 @ He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

nkjv@Revelation:3:21 @ To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

nkjv@Revelation:4:1 @ After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this."

nkjv@Revelation:6:5 @ When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see." So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.

nkjv@Revelation:6:17 @ For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"

nkjv@Revelation:7:15 @ Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them.

nkjv@Revelation:10:1 @ I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.

nkjv@Revelation:10:2 @ He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,

nkjv@Revelation:10:5 @ The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven

nkjv@Revelation:10:7 @ but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

nkjv@Revelation:11:5 @ And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner.

nkjv@Revelation:11:15 @ Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!"

nkjv@Revelation:11:19 @ Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

nkjv@Revelation:12:3 @ And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.

nkjv@Revelation:12:4 @ His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.

nkjv@Revelation:12:5 @ She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.

nkjv@Revelation:12:7 @ And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,

nkjv@Revelation:12:9 @ So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

nkjv@Revelation:12:10 @ Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.

nkjv@Revelation:12:15 @ So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.

nkjv@Revelation:12:16 @ But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.

nkjv@Revelation:13:1 @ Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.

nkjv@Revelation:13:2 @ Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.

nkjv@Revelation:13:3 @ And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.

nkjv@Revelation:13:6 @ Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.

nkjv@Revelation:13:12 @ And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

nkjv@Revelation:13:17 @ and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

nkjv@Revelation:13:18 @ Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

nkjv@Revelation:14:1 @ Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father's name written on their foreheads.

nkjv@Revelation:14:7 @ saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water."

nkjv@Revelation:14:9 @ Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand,

nkjv@Revelation:14:10 @ he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

nkjv@Revelation:14:11 @ And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."

nkjv@Revelation:14:14 @ Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle.

nkjv@Revelation:14:16 @ So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

nkjv@Revelation:14:19 @ So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

nkjv@Revelation:15:2 @ And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.

nkjv@Revelation:15:8 @ The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

nkjv@Revelation:16:2 @ So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.

nkjv@Revelation:16:3 @ Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died.

nkjv@Revelation:16:4 @ Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

nkjv@Revelation:16:8 @ Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire.

nkjv@Revelation:16:10 @ Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain.

nkjv@Revelation:16:12 @ Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.

nkjv@Revelation:16:15 @ "Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame."

nkjv@Revelation:16:17 @ Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "It is done!"

nkjv@Revelation:16:19 @ Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.

nkjv@Revelation:17:17 @ For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.

nkjv@Revelation:18:1 @ After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.

nkjv@Revelation:18:18 @ and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, "What is like this great city?'

nkjv@Revelation:19:2 @ For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her."

nkjv@Revelation:19:5 @ Then a voice came from the throne, saying, "Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!"

nkjv@Revelation:19:7 @ Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready."

nkjv@Revelation:19:10 @ And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

nkjv@Revelation:19:12 @ His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.

nkjv@Revelation:19:13 @ He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.

nkjv@Revelation:19:15 @ Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

nkjv@Revelation:19:16 @ And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

nkjv@Revelation:19:19 @ And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army.

nkjv@Revelation:19:20 @ Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.

nkjv@Revelation:20:1 @ Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

nkjv@Revelation:20:4 @ And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

nkjv@Revelation:20:5 @ But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

nkjv@Revelation:20:7 @ Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison

nkjv@Revelation:20:13 @ The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.

nkjv@Revelation:20:14 @ Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

nkjv@Revelation:21:3 @ And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.

nkjv@Revelation:21:7 @ He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.
