@ DESCRIPTION: The Bible in Worldwide English (BWE)\par This New Testament was originally prepared by Annie Cressman, who died in 1993. She was a Canadian Bible teacher in Liberia in West Africa. Whilst teaching students in a Bible School where the language used was English, she found that she was spending more time explaining the meaning of the English than she was teaching the Bible itself. So she decided to write this simple version in easy English so that her students could easily understand.\par\par In 1959 the Full Gospel Publishing House in Toronto, Canada, printed a trial edition of the Gospel of Mark. A further edition was published in 1962 by the American Bible Society. The whole New Testament was first published by SOON Publications in India in 1969 in hardback form. This was assisted by Operation Mobilisation (OM) and was reprinted in 1971.\par\par The vision to reprint a new edition of the whole New Testament has now been carried out by SOON in conjunction with EPH and OM. Where a change to more modern words has been made, this has been kept in line with the the Authorised Version.
bwe@Matthew:1:18 @ This is the way Jesus Christ was born. Mary, his mother, was promised to Joseph to be his wife. But before they were married, she found out that she was going to have a baby. It was by the Holy Spirit.
bwe@Matthew:1:20 @ While he was thinking about this, he had a dream. An angel of the Lord came to him. He said, Joseph, Davids son, do not fear to take Mary to be your wife. Her baby is by the Holy Spirit.
bwe@Matthew:1:22 @ All of this had been told long before by the Lord through his prophet. It came true.
bwe@Matthew:2:12 @ In a dream they were told not to go back to Herod. So they went home by a different road.
bwe@Matthew:3:13 @ Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan River. He came to John to be baptised by him.
bwe@Matthew:3:14 @ John tried to stop him. He said, I need to be baptised by you. Why do you come to me to be baptised?
bwe@Matthew:4:4 @ But Jesus answered him, The holy writings say, "Man cannot live on bread only. He needs to live by every word that God says."
bwe@Matthew:4:13 @ He left the town of Nazareth and went to live in the town of Capernaum. It is by the sea (of Galilee) in the district of Zebulun and Naphtali.
bwe@Matthew:4:15 @ He talked about, The country of Zebulun and the country of Naphtali, the road by the sea, the land on the other side of the Jordan River, Galilee where the people are not Jews.
bwe@Matthew:4:16 @ And he said, The people who lived in darkness have seen a great Light. Light has come to those who lived in a land covered by the dark shadow of death.
bwe@Matthew:4:18 @ Jesus was walking by the sea of Galilee. There he saw two brothers, Simon who later was named Peter, and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a fishing net into the water. Their work was to catch fish.
bwe@Matthew:5:36 @ Do not make a promise by your head, because you cannot make one hair of your head white or black.
bwe@Matthew:6:27 @ Can any one of you live any longer by troubling yourself about these things?
bwe@Matthew:7:13 @ Go in by the small gate. The gate is big and the road is wide that goes to death. Many people go that way.
bwe@Matthew:7:16 @ You will know them by the things they do. People do not pick fruit like grapes from thistles. They do not pick fruit like figs from thorn trees.
bwe@Matthew:7:20 @ So you will know them by the things they do, good or bad fruit.
bwe@Matthew:9:34 @ But the Pharisees said, He drives bad spirits out of people by the power of the chief of bad spirits.
bwe@Matthew:11:7 @ When Johns disciples went away, Jesus began to talk to people about John. He said, What did you go out into the wilderness to see? Did you go out to see a tall grass moved by the wind?
bwe@Matthew:11:19 @ The Son of Man came. He eats and drinks. People say, "This man eats and drinks too much! He is a friend with tax collectors and bad people!" But a man is proved to be wise by what he has done.
bwe@Matthew:12:24 @ The Pharisees heard about it. They said, This man drives out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub, the chief of bad spirits.
bwe@Matthew:12:27 @ If I drive out bad spirits by Beelzebub, how do your own people drive them out? Let them judge you.
bwe@Matthew:12:28 @ But if I drive out bad spirits by Gods Spirit, then Gods kingdom is here with you now.
bwe@Matthew:12:33 @ Either make a tree good and its fruit good, or make a tree bad and its fruit bad. People know what kind of tree it is by the fruit on it.
bwe@Matthew:13:1 @ That day Jesus left the house and sat down by the sea side.
bwe@Matthew:13:2 @ Many people came to where he was. So he got into a boat and sat down. All the people stood on the land by the water.
bwe@Matthew:13:3 @ He taught the people many things by telling them stories. He said, Listen, a man went out to sow some seed.
bwe@Matthew:14:13 @ When Jesus heard this, he went away from there in a boat. He went to a lonely place by himself. The people heard that he went away and they followed him. They walked from the towns around there.
bwe@Matthew:14:23 @ After he had sent them away, he went up on the hill by himself to talk with God. Evening came and he was there alone.
bwe@Matthew:14:24 @ The boat was far out on the water by this time. The water was beating against the boat and the wind was blowing the wrong way.
bwe@Matthew:15:13 @ Jesus answered, Every plant that my Father in heaven did not plant will be pulled out by the roots.
bwe@Matthew:15:21 @ Jesus left that place and went to the country of Tyre and Sidon. 22A woman of the people of Canaan was in that country. She called out, Sir, you are the Son of David. Help me! My daughter is being troubled very much by a bad spirit.
bwe@Matthew:17:1 @ Six days after this, Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John with him. He led them up a hill by themselves.
bwe@Matthew:17:12 @ I tell you that Elijah has come already. The people did not know him. And they did to him just what they wanted to do. So also the Son of Man will be troubled by them.
bwe@Matthew:18:28 @ That same servant went out and met another servant. This man owed him a much smaller sum of money. He caught him by the throat and said, Pay me what you owe me!"
bwe@Matthew:19:9 @ But I tell you this. No man may send his wife away unless she has committed adultery. If he does, and if he marries another woman, he commits adultery. And if a man marries a woman who has been sent away by her husband, he commits adultery.
bwe@Matthew:19:12 @ Some men cannot marry because they were born that way. Some were made that way by men. Others said, "I will not marry, for the sake of the kingdom of heaven." Anyone who can do this, should do it.
bwe@Matthew:20:30 @ Two blind men were sitting by the road. They heard that Jesus was passing that way. So they shouted, Sir, you are the Son of David. Help us!
bwe@Matthew:21:1 @ Jesus and his disciples came near to Jerusalem. They came to the village of Bethphage by the hill called the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus sent two of his disciples ahead.
bwe@Matthew:21:31 @ Which of the two sons did what his father wanted him to do? They said, The first one. Then Jesus said, I tell you the truth. The tax collectors and women who commit adultery by selling their bodies, are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.
bwe@Matthew:22:43 @ Jesus asked, Then how can David call him "Lord"? He said, by the Spirit,
bwe@Matthew:23:5 @ They do all their work to be seen by people. They wear bigger and bigger boxes with Gods word in. And they make wider and wider borders on their gowns.
bwe@Matthew:23:14 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You take away the homes of women whose husbands are dead. You cover up your wrong ways by talking big to God for a long time. Because of that, you will be punished harder.
bwe@Matthew:23:20 @ So if anyone makes a promise by Gods altar, he makes his promise by it and by all that is on it.
bwe@Matthew:23:21 @ If anyone makes a promise by the temple, he makes his promise by the temple and by God who lives in the temple.
bwe@Matthew:23:22 @ If anyone makes a promise by heaven, he makes his promise by Gods big chair called a throne and by God who sits on the throne.
bwe@Matthew:26:4 @ They planned how to catch Jesus by some trick and have him killed.
bwe@Matthew:26:39 @ Jesus went on a little further. He bowed down with his face to the ground. He talked to God and said, My Father, if it can be, let this cup of trouble pass by me. But do not do what I want. May what you want be done.
bwe@Matthew:26:42 @ Jesus went away again. He talked to God and said, My Father, if you do not want this cup to pass by me, but you want me to drink it, I will do what you want.
bwe@Matthew:26:52 @ Then Jesus said to him, Put your sword back in its place. All people who fight with a sword will be killed by a sword.
bwe@Matthew:26:73 @ A little later, those standing around came to Peter and said, Surely you are one of them also. We know it by the way you talk.
bwe@Matthew:27:39 @ The people who passed by said bad things about him. They shook their heads.
bwe@Matthew:28:13 @ They said, Tell the people, "His disciples came by night and took away the body while we were sleeping."
bwe@Mark:1:16 @ Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee. There he saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a fishing net into the water. Their work was to catch fish.
bwe@Mark:1:35 @ The next morning Jesus got up long before daylight. He went out to a place by himself. There he talked with God.
bwe@Mark:2:13 @ Jesus went out again by the seaside. Many people came to him. So he taught them.
bwe@Mark:3:22 @ The scribes who came from Jerusalem also talked about Jesus. They said, Beelzebub, the chief of bad spirits, is in this man. He drives out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub.
bwe@Mark:4:1 @ Jesus began to teach people by the sea again. Many people came to him. So he got in a boat on the sea and sat down. The people were by the sea on the land.
bwe@Mark:6:7 @ He called the twelve disciples to him and sent them out two by two. He gave them power to drive bad spirits out of people.
bwe@Mark:6:32 @ So they went away in a boat to a lonely place by themselves.
bwe@Mark:6:48 @ He saw the disciples working hard rowing the boat. The wind was blowing the wrong way. When it was almost morning, Jesus came to the disciples. He was walking on the water. He was going to pass by them.
bwe@Mark:6:56 @ They laid sick people by the road in villages, towns, and farms and every place he went. They begged him to let them touch his clothes. And all the people who touched him were healed.
bwe@Mark:7:3 @ They and all the Jews keep the laws made by men. God did not give them those laws. They do not eat until they wash their hands very well.
bwe@Mark:7:8 @ You do not keep the law of God, but you keep the laws made by people. Those laws are about washing pots and cups. You do many other things like that also.
bwe@Mark:7:19 @...out of the body. By saying...
bwe@Mark:8:23 @ Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. He spat on his eyes and put his hands on him. Then he asked, Do you see anything?
bwe@Mark:9:2 @ Six days after this, Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him. He led them up a hill by themselves. Jesus was changed in front of them.
bwe@Mark:9:22 @ Often it has thrown him in the fire and in the water. It has tried to kill him. If you can do anything for him, show us that you share our suffering by helping us.
bwe@Mark:9:49 @ Everyone must be tested by fire. Every sacrifice must have salt on it.
bwe@Mark:10:46 @ Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples left Jericho, many people followed him. A blind man named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road. He was begging for money.
bwe@Mark:11:1 @ They came to Bethphage and Bethany, near Jerusalem by the hill called Olives. Then he sent two of his disciples ahead.
bwe@Mark:12:38 @ Jesus went on to teach them. He said, Take care. Do not let the scribes fool you by the way they do things. They like to walk about with long gowns. They want people to greet them in the market.
bwe@Mark:12:40 @ They take away the homes of women whose husbands are dead. They cover up the wrong things they do by talking to God a long time. They will be punished more!
bwe@Mark:14:1 @ The Passover Feast and the feast with bread that has no yeast in it was two days later. The chief priests and the scribes planned how to catch Jesus by some trick. They wanted to kill him.
bwe@Mark:14:35 @ Jesus went on a little farther. He fell on the ground and asked God that, if it could be so, this big trouble might pass by him.
bwe@Mark:14:47 @ One of the men standing by took his sword. He cut off the ear of the high priests servant.
bwe@Mark:14:54 @ Peter followed far behind Jesus. He went into the yard of the high priests house. He sat down with the people who worked for the high priest. He warmed himself by the fire.
bwe@Mark:14:67 @ She saw Peter warming himself by the fire. She looked at him and said, You were also with Jesus of Nazareth.
bwe@Mark:15:29 @ The people who passed by said wrong things about him. They shook their heads and said, Ha, ha! You are the man who said you could break down the temple and build it again in three days.
bwe@Mark:16:17 @ These signs will be with those who believe. They will drive bad spirits out of people by using my name. They will speak new languages.
bwe@Mark:16:20 @ Then the disciples went and told the good news everywhere. The Lord worked with them. He made their words come true by the signs that happened after they talked.
bwe@Luke:1:2 @ These things were told us by men who saw them happen from the time they began to happen. And these men helped tell the good news.
bwe@Luke:1:77 @ You will tell his people how to be saved by being forgiven for their wrong ways.
bwe@Luke:2:22 @ The time came when Mary was no longer unclean by the law of Moses. Joseph and Mary took Jesus to Jerusalem to bring him to the Lord.
bwe@Luke:2:27 @ He came into the temple, led by the Spirit. The parents brought in the child Jesus to do what the law said they should do about him.
bwe@Luke:3:15 @ The people were waiting to see what would happen. They were all asking about John. They thought that he might be the Christ, the great king promised by God long ago.
bwe@Luke:3:18 @ By these words and many other ways, he told the people the good news.
bwe@Luke:4:24 @ And he went on to say, I tell you the truth. No prophet of God is accepted by the people in his own country.
bwe@Luke:4:42 @ The next morning Jesus went away to a place by himself. The people went to look for him. When they found him, they did not want him to leave them.
bwe@Luke:5:1 @ The people came close around Jesus to hear Gods word. He was standing by Lake Gennesaret <FI>the Sea of Galilee<Fi>.
bwe@Luke:5:2 @ He saw two boats by the water. The fishermen were not in their boats. They were washing their nets.
bwe@Luke:6:1 @ Jesus was walking through the grain fields on a Sabbath day. His disciples picked some of the grain as they went along. They cleaned it by rubbing it in their hands, and ate it.
bwe@Luke:6:18 @ Some were troubled by bad spirits, and they were healed.
bwe@Luke:6:44 @ Every kind of tree is known by its fruit. People do not pick fruit like figs from thorn trees. And they do not pick grapes from bramble bushes.
bwe@Luke:7:29 @ All the people and the tax collectors praised God when they heard that. They had been baptised by John.
bwe@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and teachers of the law would not follow Gods way and they were not baptised by John.
bwe@Luke:7:35 @ A man is proved wise by what he has done.
bwe@Luke:7:38 @ She stood behind Jesus by his feet, and she was crying. She began to wash his feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. Then she kissed his feet and put oil on them.
bwe@Luke:9:10 @ When the apostles came back, they told Jesus all they had done. He took them away with him and they went by themselves to a town called Bethsaida.
bwe@Luke:9:20 @ Jesus said, But who do you say I am? Peter answered, You are the Christ sent by God.
bwe@Luke:9:47 @ Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he took a child and put him by his side.
bwe@Luke:10:1 @ After this the Lord chose seventy other men. He sent them ahead of him, two by two. He sent them to every town and village that he was going to visit.
bwe@Luke:10:31 @ A priest happened to be going down that road. He saw the man but he passed by on the other side of the road.
bwe@Luke:10:32 @ A man who worked in the temple came along to that place also. He saw the man but he passed by on the other side.
bwe@Luke:10:36 @ Jesus said to the teacher of the law, What do you think? Which of these three was a neighbour to the man who was caught by the bad men?
bwe@Luke:11:3 @ Give us our food day by day.
bwe@Luke:11:15 @ But some of them said, This man drives out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub, the chief of bad spirits.
bwe@Luke:11:18 @ If Satan fights against himself, how will his kingdom stand? You say I drive out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub.
bwe@Luke:11:19 @ If I drive out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub, by whose help do your own people drive them out? Your own people will judge you for this!
bwe@Luke:11:20 @ But if I drive out bad spirits by the help of God, then know this, Gods kingdom is here with you now.
bwe@Luke:12:25 @ Can any of you live any longer by troubling yourself about these things?
bwe@Luke:13:24 @ Jesus answered, Try hard to go in by the small gate. I tell you, many will want to go in but they will not be able.
bwe@Luke:14:12 @ Then Jesus said to the man who had asked him to come, When you make a dinner or a feast, do not ask your friends, or your brothers, or the people in your family, or your rich neighbours. They will repay you by making a dinner for you.
bwe@Luke:16:18 @ If a man sends away his wife and marries another woman, he commits adultery. And if the man marries a woman who has been sent away by her husband, he commits adultery.
bwe@Luke:17:6 @ The Lord said, If you believe as much as a little mustard seed, then you can say to this tree, "Come up by the roots and plant yourself in the sea." And it would obey you.
bwe@Luke:18:35 @ When he came near the city of Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road. He was begging for money.
bwe@Luke:19:15 @ But he was given the power to rule and came back. Then he called the servants to whom he had given the money. He wanted to know how much money each one had made by trading.
bwe@Luke:19:22 @ The ruler said "You bad servant! I will judge you by your own words. You knew that I was a hard man! You knew that I take in where I put nothing out. You knew that I gather where I did not plant.
bwe@Luke:19:29 @ He came near Bethphage and Bethany by the hill called the Mount of Olives. Then he sent two of his disciples ahead.
bwe@Luke:20:47 @ They take away the homes of women whose husbands are dead. They cover up their wrong ways by talking to God a long time. They will be punished more!
bwe@Luke:21:24 @ They will be killed by swords or long knives. They will be taken away as prisoners to every country. Jerusalem will be broken down by people who are not Jews. They will walk over it until the end of their allowed time.
bwe@Luke:22:20 @ In the same way he took the cup after they had eaten. He said, This cup is the new agreement made by my blood. It is given for you.
bwe@Luke:22:56 @ A woman saw Peter sitting by the fire. She looked at him and said, This man was with him also.
bwe@Luke:23:5 @ But they said all the more, He troubles the people by his teaching. He has been teaching people in all the country of Judea. He began in Galilee and has come as far as this city.
bwe@Luke:24:18 @ Jesus said, What things?" They said, All that has happened to Jesus of Nazareth. He was a prophet of God. He had power to do big works and to teach the people. He was respected by God and all the people.
bwe@Luke:24:19 @ Our chief priests and rulers gave him over to be punished by death, and they nailed him to a cross.
bwe@John:1:3 @ God made everything by the Word. Nothing has been made without him.
bwe@John:1:7 @ He came to talk about the Light, so that all people might believe in the Light by what he said.
bwe@John:1:13 @ They were born into Gods family by God. That is, they were not born into his family in the way a person is born into this world. It was not by any persons will.
bwe@John:1:23 @ John said, I am a voice calling in the desert, "Make the road straight for the Lord." This is what was said by Isaiah, the prophet of God long ago.
bwe@John:3:2 @ One night Nicodemus came to Jesus. He said, Master, we know you are a teacher sent by God. We know this because no person could do the big works you are doing if God did not help him.
bwe@John:3:5 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. This new birth is by water and by the Spirit. No person can enter Gods kingdom if he has not been born that way.
bwe@John:3:34 @ The one God sent speaks the words of God. God does not give him the Spirit little by little, but he gives the Spirit in full.
bwe@John:4:5 @ Jacobs well was there. Jesus was very tired from walking on the road. So he sat down by the well. It was about midday.
bwe@John:4:43 @ Jesus himself said, No prophet is honoured by the people in his own country.
bwe@John:5:3 @ Many sick people were lying on these places. Some of them were blind. Some were lame. Some were very thin and stiff so that they could not move by themselves. All of them were waiting for the water to move.
bwe@John:6:15 @ The people wanted to take Jesus by force to make him a king. When he saw this, he left again and went on the hill by himself.
bwe@John:7:10 @ After his brothers went to the feast, Jesus went also. He did not go with the other people, but he went by himself.
bwe@John:7:24 @ Do not judge by what you see, but judge in the right way.
bwe@John:7:36 @ What does he mean by this: "You will look for me and will not find me. You will not be able to go to the place where I will be"?
bwe@John:7:50 @ Nicodemus, the man who came to Jesus by night, was one of them.
bwe@John:7:51 @ He said, Is it right to judge any man by our law before we hear him and learn what he has done?
bwe@John:8:9 @ When the people heard what he said, they went out, one by one. The oldest one went out first. Jesus was left alone with the woman in front of him.
bwe@John:8:28 @ So Jesus said, When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he. You will know that I do nothing by my own power, but I talk the way my Father taught me.
bwe@John:8:42 @ Jesus said to them, If God were your Father you would love me, because I have come from God. I did not come by my own power. God sent me.
bwe@John:10:3 @ The guard will open the door for him. The sheep will listen to him. He calls his own sheep by their names and leads them out.
bwe@John:11:9 @ Jesus answered them, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a person walks in the daylight, then he will not fall. He can see by the light that is in the world.
bwe@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, Take the stone away. Martha, the sister of the dead man, said, Lord, he will smell bad by this time. He has been dead four days already.
bwe@John:13:32 @ If he has made Gods name great, God also will make him great by his own power. He will do it right away.
bwe@John:15:4 @ But you must be in me and I will be in you. The branch cannot bear fruit by itself. It must be joined to the tree. And you cannot do any good thing if you are not joined to me.
bwe@John:16:17 @ Some of the disciples talked among themselves and said, He says, "Very soon now, you will not see me. A little while after that, you will see me." And he says, "Because I go to my Father." What does he mean by "a little while"?
bwe@John:16:19 @ Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him this question. So he said to them, Are you asking each other what I mean by saying, "Very soon you will not see me. Then in a little while after that you will see me"?
bwe@John:16:25 @ I have told you these things by a story. The time will come when I will not talk by stories. I will tell you about my Father plainly.
bwe@John:17:17 @ Make them clean by the true word and keep them for yourself. Your word is true.
bwe@John:17:19 @ I have made myself clean and kept myself for them, so that they may be clean and be kept for you also by the truth.
bwe@John:18:16 @ But Peter stood by the gate outside. The other disciple who knew the high priest talked to the servant at the door and brought in Peter.
bwe@John:18:18 @ It was cold there. The servants and the officers had made a small fire. They stood by it and warmed themselves. Peter stood by the fire also and warmed himself.
bwe@John:18:25 @ Simon Peter stayed by the fire and stood warming himself. So the people said to him, Are you not one of his disciples also? He said, No, I am not!
bwe@John:18:31 @ Pilate said, Take him and judge him by your own law. The leaders of the Jews said, But we are not allowed to kill anyone.
bwe@John:20:7 @ He also saw the small cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus head. It was not with the other cloths, but it was folded together by itself in another place.
bwe@John:21:4 @ Early in the morning, Jesus was standing there by the sea. The disciples did not know it was Jesus.
bwe@Acts:1:2 @ He did those things until the day he was taken up to heaven. Before he went up, he gave orders by the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.
bwe@Acts:1:10 @ While they were looking at the sky as he went up, two men stood by them in white clothes.
bwe@Acts:2:22 @ You men of Israel, listen to this. God showed you that he was pleased with this man, Jesus of Nazareth. He proved it by the big works and the wonderful signs which he did by Jesus right here among you people. And you yourselves know it.
bwe@Acts:2:33 @ God made him great by making him sit at his right side. God gave him the Holy Spirit as he had promised. So he sent this which you now see and hear.
bwe@Acts:2:42 @ They kept on being taught by the apostles. And they kept on being with them. They ate bread together and talked with God.
bwe@Acts:2:43 @ All the people were very much surprised. Many wonderful things and signs were done by the apostles.
bwe@Acts:2:46 @ And every day the believers kept on gathering in the temple. They ate bread in each others homes. They ate their food gladly and with open hearts. They praised God. All the people respected them. Day by day, the Lord added to the church those who were saved.
bwe@Acts:3:21 @...they were at first. By his...
bwe@Acts:4:7 @...They asked the apostles, By what...
bwe@Acts:4:10 @ Well, let it be known by all the people of Israel. This man standing before you is healed by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He has done this. You nailed him to a cross, but God raised him from death.
bwe@Acts:4:12 @ No one else can save us. Of all the people in the world, God chose him to save us. It is by him we must be saved.
bwe@Acts:4:25 @ Our father David was your servant. Through him you said by the Holy Spirit, "Why are the people who are not Jews so angry? And why do the people plan things for nothing?
bwe@Acts:4:29 @ Lord, hear their words. Listen to the wrong things they say against us. We are your servants. Help us to speak your word without fear. And heal the sick by your own power. Let signs and wonderful things be done in the name of your holy Son Jesus.
bwe@Acts:5:16 @ Many people also came from the cities around Jerusalem. They brought others who were sick and those who were controlled by bad spirits. Every one of them was healed.
bwe@Acts:5:26 @ Then the captain went with the men and brought the apostles quietly. They did not bring them by force because they were afraid the people would kill them with stones.
bwe@Acts:5:30 @ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, the one you killed by hanging on a dead tree.
bwe@Acts:6:10 @ But they could not say anything against his wise words and the Spirit by whom he spoke.
bwe@Acts:7:24 @ There he saw one of them being hurt by an Egyptian. So he helped him. He fought for him and knocked down the Egyptian.
bwe@Acts:7:53 @ You received the law given by angels, but you have not kept it.
bwe@Acts:7:58 @ They put him out of the city and threw stones at him. (Those who had talked against him laid their clothes down by the feet of a young man named Saul.)
bwe@Acts:8:7 @ Many people who were held by bad spirits were made free from them. The spirits came out of them crying loudly. Many other sick people were healed too. People who could not stand, and others who were lame, were healed.
bwe@Acts:8:28 @ Now he was on his way back. He sat in his carriage reading from the book which was written long ago by Isaiah, the prophet of God.
bwe@Acts:8:36 @ While they were going along, they came to some water by the road. The man said, See, here is water. What is there to stop me from being baptised?
bwe@Acts:10:6 @ He is staying with Simon, the man who makes skins into leather. His house is by the sea. Peter will tell you what you should do.
bwe@Acts:10:11 @ He saw the sky open. A bundle like a big blanket was tied by the corners. It was let down to earth.
bwe@Acts:10:32 @ Send men to Joppa to call for Simon Peter. He is staying with Simon, the man who makes skins into leather. His house is by the sea."
bwe@Acts:10:38 @ God gave Jesus of Nazareth the Holy Spirit and power. Jesus went about doing good deeds. He healed all those who were held by the devil. God was with him.
bwe@Acts:11:5 @ I was in the city of Joppa talking with God, he said. Something like a dream came over me. I saw a vision. I saw a bundle like a big blanket tied by the corners. It was let down from the sky. It came down to me.
bwe@Acts:11:23 @ When he reached there, he saw what had been done by the power of God. He was very glad. He talked to them. He begged them all to keep on following the Lord with all their heart.
bwe@Acts:12:10 @ They passed the first and the second guard. Then they came to the iron gate out to the city. It opened for them by itself. So they went all the way down a street. Then the angel left him.
bwe@Acts:13:17 @ The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers. He made the people into a large tribe when they were strangers in the land of Egypt. God brought them out of Egypt by his power.
bwe@Acts:13:46 @...not listen to it. By that...
bwe@Acts:14:18 @ By saying these things they stopped the people from making sacrifices to them.
bwe@Acts:15:4 @ When they reached Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church people, the apostles, and the church leaders. They told all that God had done as he worked with them.
bwe@Acts:15:20 @ We should write them a letter and tell them what they must not do. They must not eat food that has been given to idols. They must not have sex with someone who is not their husband or wife. They must not eat the meat of animals that are killed by choking. They must not taste blood.
bwe@Acts:15:29 @ You must not eat food that has been given to idols. You must not eat the meat of animals that are killed by choking. You must not taste blood. You must not commit adultery. If you keep away from these things, you will do well. Goodbye.
bwe@Acts:16:8 @ So they went by Mysia and came to the city of Troas.
bwe@Acts:16:19 @ Her masters saw that they had lost this way of getting money. They caught Paul and Silas and took them by force to the rulers in the court.
bwe@Acts:17:5 @ But some Jews did not believe, and they were jealous. So they called some of the bad men together and made a crowd. They started to fight and to make plenty of trouble and noise in the city. At Jasons house they went in by force to find Paul and Silas. They wanted to bring them outside to the people.
bwe@Acts:17:25 @ Men cannot worship him by things they make with their hands because he does not need anything. He is the one who gives life and breath and everything else to all people.
bwe@Acts:17:29 @ Therefore we have all come from God. So we should not think that God is something made of gold, or silver, or stone. He is not made by mens hands.
bwe@Acts:19:13 @ Some Jews were there who travelled about from place to place. They had power over bad spirits like witch-doctors. They tried to make people free from bad spirits by using the name of the Lord Jesus. They said to the spirits, I tell you, in the name of Jesus, the one Paul talks about, come out!
bwe@Acts:19:26 @ Now you see and hear how this man Paul has talked. He has turned away many people in Ephesus. Not only that, but he has turned away the hearts of many people in almost all of Asia Minor. He says that things made by mens hands are not really gods.
bwe@Acts:19:39 @ If you want anything more than that, it must be done in a meeting which has been called by law.
bwe@Acts:20:3 @ He stayed there for three months. When he was ready to go to Syria by boat, he heard that the Jewish leaders were planning to catch him. So he said, I will go back through Macedonia.
bwe@Acts:20:6 @ After the days of the Passover Feast, we left Philippi by boat. Five days later we met them in Troas. We stayed there for seven days.
bwe@Acts:20:13 @ We went by boat to the town of Assos. We were going to meet Paul there and take him on the boat. He told us to do that because he wanted to walk.
bwe@Acts:20:15 @ Then we went by boat the next day and came to Chios. The next day we passed the town of Samos. We reached Miletus on the third day.
bwe@Acts:20:32 @ And now, my brothers, I give you to God. I leave with you his word which brings blessing. That word is able to make you strong. It will give you your share in the good things of God promised by him. He gives these good things to people who are pure and holy.
bwe@Acts:20:35 @...those who cannot work. By so...
bwe@Acts:21:5 @ When the seven days had passed, we left and went on our way. All of the men, women, and children went with us out of the city. There by the sea we kneeled down and talked to God.
bwe@Acts:21:19 @ First, Paul greeted them. Then he told them one by one the things God had done as he worked among the people who were not Jews.
bwe@Acts:21:25 @ We sent a letter to those who are not Jews and have believed. Here is what we told them they must not do. They must not touch things that have been given to idols. They must not taste blood. They must not eat the meat of animals that were killed by choking. And they must not take part in any kind of wrong sexual behaviour between men and women.
bwe@Acts:21:30 @ So all the people in the city were excited. They came running. They caught Paul and took him out of the temple by force. Then the doors were shut behind them.
bwe@Acts:22:11 @ I could not see because the light was so bright. My friends led me by the hand to Damascus.
bwe@Acts:22:13 @ He came to see me. He stood by my side and said to me, "Brother Saul, you can see again!" And right then I was able to see him.
bwe@Acts:22:16 @ Now, why do you wait? Get up and be baptised. Wash away your wrong ways by calling on the name of the Lord!"
bwe@Acts:22:20 @ And I stood by and let people kill Stephen. He was one who talked for you. I looked after the clothes of the men who killed him."
bwe@Acts:23:3 @ Paul said, God will hit you down, you dirty wall painted white! You sit there to judge me by the law and you break the law by telling them to hit me.
bwe@Acts:23:19 @ The officer took the young man by the arm. He went to one side so they could be alone. He asked, What do you want to tell me?
bwe@Acts:23:23 @ The commanding officer called two officers to him. He said, Get two hundred soldiers ready by nine oclock tonight to go to Caesarea. Send seventy men with them who will ride on horses and two hundred men who will carry spears.
bwe@Acts:23:27 @ This man was caught by the Jews. They were ready to kill him. But I came with my soldiers and took him away, because I found out that he is a Roman.
bwe@Acts:24:6 @ He even tried to make the temple unclean. But we caught him and were going to judge him by our law.
bwe@Acts:24:7 @ But Lysias the commanding officer came. He took Paul away from us by force.
bwe@Acts:26:18 @ I send you to them to open their eyes. Then they will turn from darkness to light. You are to take them out of Satans power and turn them to God, to be forgiven of their wrong ways. Then they will be among those who are made clean and pure by believing in me."
bwe@Acts:26:20 @ I told the good news to the people of Damascus and Jerusalem. Then I told it all over Judea. I went to those who are not Jews. I told everyone that they must stop doing wrong things and turn to God. I told them they must show by the way they live that they have stopped doing wrong things.
bwe@Acts:27:1 @ It was planned that we would go by boat to Italy. An officer named Julius was put in charge of Paul and some other prisoners. Julius was an army captain in the Augustan group.
bwe@Acts:27:5 @ We crossed the sea by the countries of Cilicia and Pamphylia. Then we reached the city of Myra in Lycia.
bwe@Acts:27:9 @ It was now so late in the year that it was a bad time to go by boat. So Paul spoke to them about it.
bwe@Acts:27:10 @ He said, Sirs, I see that if we go on by boat, we will have much trouble. Something bad will happen to the things on the boat and to the boat itself, and also to us.
bwe@Acts:28:16 @ When we came to Rome, Paul was allowed to stay in a house by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
bwe@Acts:28:23 @ So they chose a certain day. On that day many of them came to the house where Paul was staying. He told them about Gods kingdom. He tried to make them understand about Jesus by the things that were written in the law of Moses and in the books of the prophets. He talked from morning until evening.
bwe@Romans:1:18 @ God is angry. He has shown it from heaven. He is angry because of all the bad and wrong things people do. These people hold back Gods truth by the wrong things they do.
bwe@Romans:1:20 @ People cannot see that God has power which lasts for ever. They cannot see that he is really God. But ever since he made the world, he has clearly shown this by the things he made. So they cannot say, I did not know about God.
bwe@Romans:1:25 @ They would not believe what was true about God. They believed a lie. They worshipped and worked for something that was made by God. They did not worship God-God who made all things. He is the one to worship for ever. Amen. May it be so!
bwe@Romans:2:2 @ We know that God judges people who do such things. And he judges them by what is true.
bwe@Romans:2:12 @ All those who do not know the law <FI>of God given to Moses<Fi> and did what was wrong, will die. But they will not be judged by the law. All those who know the law and did what was wrong will be judged by the law.
bwe@Romans:4:17 @ the holy writings say, I have made you the father of many nations. Abraham was made the father of many nations by God. He believed God. He believed that God could make dead people live. He believed God when he said that things were true even though they had not happened yet.
bwe@Romans:5:5 @ We will not be disappointed by this hope. God has given us the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit has put Gods love in our hearts.
bwe@Romans:5:11 @ Not only is that true, but it is through our Lord Jesus Christ that we can enjoy God. This is for all who have been brought back to God by him.
bwe@Romans:6:4 @ We were buried when he was buried because we were baptised into his death. Christ was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father. So we also must live a new life.
bwe@Romans:6:5 @ Have we shared with Christ and died as he died? Then we shall share with him by rising from death as he arose.
bwe@Romans:7:2 @ A married woman belongs to her husband by law as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law that made her belong to her husband.
bwe@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been made free from the law. We died, and so we are no longer slaves to the one who was our master. Now we are slaves to God in our new life. This new life is ruled by the Spirit. We do not work for the old written law.
bwe@Romans:8:12 @ So, my brothers, we must not live the way our bodies want us to live. We must not be ruled by our wrong ways.
bwe@Romans:8:13 @ If you live the way your bodies wants to live, you will die. But if, by the help of the Spirit, you stop doing the wrong things your bodies want to do, you will live.
bwe@Romans:9:24 @ In the book written long ago by the prophet Hosea, God says They were not my people. But I will call them "my people". I did not love her, but I will call her "the one I love."
bwe@Romans:9:26 @ Isaiah the prophet of God said long ago about Israel, Even if the people of Israel are as many as the sand by the sea, only some of them will be saved.
bwe@Romans:10:5 @ Moses wrote this: A man who obeys the law will live by it.
bwe@Romans:10:6 @ But the holy writings also speak about those who are put right by believing: Do not say in your heart, "Who will go up into heaven?" (That means, Who will go up to heaven to bring Christ down?)
bwe@Romans:12:21 @ Do not let wrong things win a victory over you. But win a victory over wrong things by the good things you do.
bwe@Romans:13:1 @ Every person must obey the rulers over him. Every ruler has his power from God. And the rulers are put there by God.![[pBiblx2]](/img/pbiblx2_logo3.png){kind=logo}
