nasb@Matthew:1:1 @The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham-

nasb@Matthew:1:2 @Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.

nasb@Matthew:1:3 @Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram.

nasb@Matthew:1:4 @Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon.

nasb@Matthew:1:5 @Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse.

nasb@Matthew:1:6 @Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah.

nasb@Matthew:1:7 @Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa.

nasb@Matthew:1:8 @Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah.

nasb@Matthew:1:9 @Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.

nasb@Matthew:1:10 @Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah.

nasb@Matthew:1:11 @Josiah became the father of Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

nasb@Matthew:1:12 @After the deportation to Babylon- Jeconiah became the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel.

nasb@Matthew:1:13 @Zerubbabel was the father of Abihud, Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor.

nasb@Matthew:1:14 @Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud.

nasb@Matthew:1:15 @Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob.

nasb@Matthew:1:16 @Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah.

nasb@Matthew:1:17 @So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.

nasb@Matthew:1:18 @Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows- when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Matthew:1:19 @And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly.

nasb@Matthew:1:20 @But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, " Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Matthew:1:21" @She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."

nasb@Matthew:1:22 @Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet-

nasb@Matthew:1:23" @ BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL," which translated means, " GOD WITH US."

nasb@Matthew:1:24 @And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife,

nasb@Matthew:2:1 @but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.

nasb@Matthew:2:2 @Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying,

nasb@Matthew:2:2" @Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him."

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

nasb@Matthew:2:4 @Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born.

nasb@Matthew:2:5 @They said to him, " In Bethlehem of Judea; for this is what has been written by the prophet-

nasb@Matthew:2:6 @' AND YOU, BETHLEHEM, LAND OF JUDAH, ARE BY NO MEANS LEAST AMONG THE LEADERS OF JUDAH; FOR OUT OF YOU SHALL COME FORTH A RULER WHO WILL SHEPHERD MY PEOPLE ISRAEL.'"

nasb@Matthew:2:7 @Then Herod secretly called the magi and determined from them the exact time the star appeared.

nasb@Matthew:2:8 @And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search carefully for the Child; and when you have found Him, report to me, so that I too may come and worship Him."

nasb@Matthew:2:9 @After hearing the king, they went their way; and the star, which they had seen in the east, went on before them until it came and stood over the place where the Child was.

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

nasb@Matthew:2:11 @After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

nasb@Matthew:2:12 @And having been warned by God in a dream not to return to Herod, the magi left for their own country by another way.

nasb@Matthew:2:13 @Now when they had gone, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to destroy Him."

nasb@Matthew:2:14 @So Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and left for Egypt.

nasb@Matthew:2:15 @He remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet- " OUT OF EGYPT I CALLED MY SON."

nasb@Matthew:2:16 @Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged, and sent and slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the magi.

nasb@Matthew:2:17 @Then what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled-

nasb@Matthew:2:18" @ A VOICE WAS HEARD IN RAMAH, WEEPING AND GREAT MOURNING, RACHEL WEEPING FOR HER CHILDREN; AND SHE REFUSED TO BE COMFORTED, BECAUSE THEY WERE NO MORE."

nasb@Matthew:2:19 @But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, and said,

nasb@Matthew:2:20" @Get up, take the Child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel; for those who sought the Child's life are dead."

nasb@Matthew:2:21 @So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.

nasb@Matthew:2:22 @But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Then after being warned by God in a dream, he left for the regions of Galilee,

nasb@Matthew:2:23 @and came and lived in a city called Nazareth. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophets- "He shall be called a Nazarene."

nasb@Matthew:2:3 @Now in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,

nasb@Matthew:2:2" @ Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

nasb@Matthew:2:3 @For this is the one referred to by Isaiah the prophet when he said, " THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, ' MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT!'"

nasb@Matthew:2:4 @Now John himself had a garment of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

nasb@Matthew:2:5 @Then Jerusalem was going out to him, and all Judea and all the district around the Jordan;

nasb@Matthew:2:6 @and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins.

nasb@Matthew:2:7 @But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

nasb@Matthew:2:8" @ Therefore bear fruit in keeping with repentance;

nasb@Matthew:2:9 @and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, ' We have Abraham for our father'; for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.

nasb@Matthew:2:10" @The axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

nasb@Matthew:2:11" @As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

nasb@Matthew:2:12" @His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

nasb@Matthew:2:13 @Then Jesus arrived from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him.

nasb@Matthew:2:14 @But John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?"

nasb@Matthew:2:15 @But Jesus answering said to him, "Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he permitted Him.

nasb@Matthew:2:16 @After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him,

nasb@Matthew:2:17 @and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, " This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased."

nasb@Matthew:3:1 @Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

nasb@Matthew:3:2 @And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry.

nasb@Matthew:3:3 @And the tempter came and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."

nasb@Matthew:3:4 @But He answered and said, "It is written, ' MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.'"

nasb@Matthew:3:5 @Then the devil took Him into the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple,

nasb@Matthew:3:6 @and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written, ' HE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU'; and 'ON their HANDS THEY WILL BEAR YOU UP, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.'"

nasb@Matthew:3:7 @Jesus said to him, "On the other hand, it is written, ' YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.'"

nasb@Matthew:3:8 @Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory;

nasb@Matthew:3:9 @and he said to Him, " All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me."

nasb@Matthew:3:10 @Then Jesus said to him, "Go, Satan! For it is written, ' YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'"

nasb@Matthew:3:11 @Then the devil left Him; and behold, angels came and began to minister to Him.

nasb@Matthew:3:12 @Now when Jesus heard that John had been taken into custody, He withdrew into Galilee;

nasb@Matthew:3:13 @and leaving Nazareth, He came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.

nasb@Matthew:3:14 @This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet-

nasb@Matthew:3:15" @ THE LAND OF ZEBULUN AND THE LAND OF NAPHTALI, BY THE WAY OF THE SEA, BEYOND THE JORDAN, GALILEE OF THE GENTILES--

nasb@Matthew:3:16" @ THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SITTING IN DARKNESS SAW A GREAT LIGHT, AND THOSE WHO WERE SITTING IN THE LAND AND SHADOW OF DEATH, UPON THEM A LIGHT DAWNED."

nasb@Matthew:3:17 @From that time Jesus began to preach and say, " Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

nasb@Matthew:3:18 @Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

nasb@Matthew:3:19 @And He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."

nasb@Matthew:3:20 @Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

nasb@Matthew:3:21 @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; and He called them.

nasb@Matthew:3:22 @Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

nasb@Matthew:3:23 @Jesus was going throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people.

nasb@Matthew:3:24 @The news about Him spread throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, those suffering with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He healed them.

nasb@Matthew:3:25 @Large crowds followed Him from Galilee and the Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and from beyond the Jordan.

nasb@Matthew:4:1 @When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him.

nasb@Matthew:4:2 @He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying,

nasb@Matthew:4:3" @ Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

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

nasb@Matthew:4:5" @Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.

nasb@Matthew:4:6" @Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

nasb@Matthew:4:7" @Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

nasb@Matthew:4:8" @Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

nasb@Matthew:4:9" @Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

nasb@Matthew:4:10" @Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:11" @Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

nasb@Matthew:4:12" @Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

nasb@Matthew:4:13" @You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.

nasb@Matthew:4:14" @You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;

nasb@Matthew:4:15 @nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

nasb@Matthew:4:16" @Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:17" @Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.

nasb@Matthew:4:18" @For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

nasb@Matthew:4:19" @Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:20" @For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:21" @ You have heard that the ancients were told, ' YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER' and 'Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.'

nasb@Matthew:4:22" @But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ' You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.

nasb@Matthew:4:23" @Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,

nasb@Matthew:4:24 @leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering.

nasb@Matthew:4:25" @ Make friends quickly with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way, so that your opponent may not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.

nasb@Matthew:4:26" @Truly I say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last cent.

nasb@Matthew:4:27" @ You have heard that it was said, ' YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY';

nasb@Matthew:4:28 @but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

nasb@Matthew:4:29" @ If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

nasb@Matthew:4:30" @ If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell.

nasb@Matthew:4:31" @It was said, ' WHOEVER SENDS HIS WIFE AWAY, LET HIM GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE';

nasb@Matthew:4:32 @but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

nasb@Matthew:4:33" @Again, you have heard that the ancients were told, ' YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FALSE VOWS, BUT SHALL FULFILL YOUR VOWS TO THE LORD.'

nasb@Matthew:4:34" @But I say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God,

nasb@Matthew:4:35 @or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING.

nasb@Matthew:4:36" @Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.

nasb@Matthew:4:37" @But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes' or 'No, no'; anything beyond these is of evil.

nasb@Matthew:4:38" @ You have heard that it was said, ' AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.'

nasb@Matthew:4:39" @But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

nasb@Matthew:4:40" @If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also.

nasb@Matthew:4:41" @Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.

nasb@Matthew:4:42" @ Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.

nasb@Matthew:4:43" @ You have heard that it was said, ' YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.'

nasb@Matthew:4:44" @But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

nasb@Matthew:4:45 @so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

nasb@Matthew:4:46" @For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

nasb@Matthew:4:47" @If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

nasb@Matthew:4:48" @Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

nasb@Matthew:4:6" @Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:2" @So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

nasb@Matthew:4:3" @But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

nasb@Matthew:4:4 @so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

nasb@Matthew:4:5" @When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

nasb@Matthew:4:6" @But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

nasb@Matthew:4:7" @And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words.

nasb@Matthew:4:8" @So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

nasb@Matthew:4:9" @ Pray, then, in this way- 'Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

nasb@Matthew:4:10 @' Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:11 @' Give us this day our daily bread.

nasb@Matthew:4:12 @'And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

nasb@Matthew:4:13 @'And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.]'

nasb@Matthew:4:14" @ For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

nasb@Matthew:4:15" @But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.

nasb@Matthew:4:16" @ Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

nasb@Matthew:4:17" @But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face

nasb@Matthew:4:18 @so that your fasting will not be noticed by men, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

nasb@Matthew:4:19" @ Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

nasb@Matthew:4:20" @But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal;

nasb@Matthew:4:21 @for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

nasb@Matthew:4:22" @ The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.

nasb@Matthew:4:23" @But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

nasb@Matthew:4:24" @ No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.

nasb@Matthew:4:25" @ For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

nasb@Matthew:4:26" @ Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?

nasb@Matthew:4:27" @And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?

nasb@Matthew:4:28" @And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,

nasb@Matthew:4:29 @yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

nasb@Matthew:4:30" @But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!

nasb@Matthew:4:31" @Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing?'

nasb@Matthew:4:32" @For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

nasb@Matthew:4:33" @But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

nasb@Matthew:4:34" @So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

nasb@Matthew:4:7" @ Do not judge so that you will not be judged.

nasb@Matthew:4:2" @For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.

nasb@Matthew:4:3" @Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

nasb@Matthew:4:4" @ Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye?

nasb@Matthew:4:5" @You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

nasb@Matthew:4:6" @ Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

nasb@Matthew:4:7" @ Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

nasb@Matthew:4:8" @For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

nasb@Matthew:4:9" @Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone?

nasb@Matthew:4:10" @Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?

nasb@Matthew:4:11" @If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!

nasb@Matthew:4:12" @In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

nasb@Matthew:4:13" @ Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.

nasb@Matthew:4:14" @For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

nasb@Matthew:4:15" @Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

nasb@Matthew:4:16" @You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?

nasb@Matthew:4:17" @So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.

nasb@Matthew:4:18" @A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.

nasb@Matthew:4:19" @ Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

nasb@Matthew:4:20" @So then, you will know them by their fruits.

nasb@Matthew:4:21" @ Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.

nasb@Matthew:4:22" @ Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?'

nasb@Matthew:4:23" @And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'

nasb@Matthew:4:24" @Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.

nasb@Matthew:4:25" @And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.

nasb@Matthew:4:26" @Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.

nasb@Matthew:4:27" @The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell--and great was its fall."

nasb@Matthew:4:28 @When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching;

nasb@Matthew:4:29 @for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

nasb@Matthew:5:1 @When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

nasb@Matthew:5:2 @And a leper came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."

nasb@Matthew:5:3 @Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

nasb@Matthew:5:4 @And Jesus said to him, " See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

nasb@Matthew:5:5 @And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him,

nasb@Matthew:5:6 @and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented."

nasb@Matthew:5:7 @Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."

nasb@Matthew:5:8 @But the centurion said, "Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

nasb@Matthew:5:9" @For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does it."

nasb@Matthew:5:10 @Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, "Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.

nasb@Matthew:5:11" @I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;

nasb@Matthew:5:12 @but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

nasb@Matthew:5:13 @And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed that very moment.

nasb@Matthew:5:14 @When Jesus came into Peter's home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever.

nasb@Matthew:5:15 @He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and waited on Him.

nasb@Matthew:5:16 @When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill.

nasb@Matthew:5:17 @This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet- " HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES."

nasb@Matthew:5:18 @Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, He gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea.

nasb@Matthew:5:19 @Then a scribe came and said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go."

nasb@Matthew:5:20 @Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."

nasb@Matthew:5:21 @Another of the disciples said to Him, "Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father."

nasb@Matthew:5:22 @But Jesus said to him, " Follow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead."

nasb@Matthew:5:23 @When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

nasb@Matthew:5:24 @And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep.

nasb@Matthew:5:25 @And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, " Save us, Lord; we are perishing!"

nasb@Matthew:5:26 @He said to them, "Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm.

nasb@Matthew:5:27 @The men were amazed, and said, "What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?"

nasb@Matthew:5:28 @When He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two men who were demon-possessed met Him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way.

nasb@Matthew:5:29 @And they cried out, saying, " What business do we have with each other, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?"

nasb@Matthew:5:30 @Now there was a herd of many swine feeding at a distance from them.

nasb@Matthew:5:31 @The demons began to entreat Him, saying, "If You are going to cast us out, send us into the herd of swine."

nasb@Matthew:5:32 @And He said to them, "Go!" And they came out and went into the swine, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the waters.

nasb@Matthew:5:33 @The herdsmen ran away, and went to the city and reported everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs.

nasb@Matthew:5:34 @And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, they implored Him to leave their region.

nasb@Matthew:6:1 @Getting into a boat, Jesus crossed over the sea and came to His own city.

nasb@Matthew:6:2 @And they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, " Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven."

nasb@Matthew:6:3 @And some of the scribes said to themselves, "This fellow blasphemes."

nasb@Matthew:6:4 @And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, "Why are you thinking evil in your hearts?

nasb@Matthew:6:5" @Which is easier, to say, ' Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, and walk'?

nasb@Matthew:6:6" @But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--then He said to the paralytic, "Get up, pick up your bed and go home."

nasb@Matthew:6:7 @And he got up and went home.

nasb@Matthew:6:8 @But when the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

nasb@Matthew:6:9 @As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called Matthew, sitting in the tax collector's booth; and He said to him, " Follow Me!" And he got up and followed Him.

nasb@Matthew:6:10 @Then it happened that as Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples.

nasb@Matthew:6:11 @When the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, " Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?"

nasb@Matthew:6:12 @But when Jesus heard this, He said, "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.

nasb@Matthew:6:13" @But go and learn what this means- ' I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT SACRIFICE,' for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

nasb@Matthew:6:14 @Then the disciples of John came to Him, asking, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?"

nasb@Matthew:6:15 @And Jesus said to them, "The attendants of the bridegroom cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.

nasb@Matthew:6:16" @But no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results.

nasb@Matthew:6:17" @Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and the wineskins are ruined; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."

nasb@Matthew:6:18 @While He was saying these things to them, a synagogue official came and bowed down before Him, and said, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live."

nasb@Matthew:6:19 @Jesus got up and began to follow him, and so did His disciples.

nasb@Matthew:6:20 @And a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak;

nasb@Matthew:6:21 @for she was saying to herself, "If I only touch His garment, I will get well."

nasb@Matthew:6:22 @But Jesus turning and seeing her said, "Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well." At once the woman was made well.

nasb@Matthew:6:23 @When Jesus came into the official's house, and saw the flute-players and the crowd in noisy disorder,

nasb@Matthew:6:24 @He said, "Leave; for the girl has not died, but is asleep." And they began laughing at Him.

nasb@Matthew:6:25 @But when the crowd had been sent out, He entered and took her by the hand, and the girl got up.

nasb@Matthew:6:26 @This news spread throughout all that land.

nasb@Matthew:6:27 @As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!"

nasb@Matthew:6:28 @When He entered the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to Him, "Yes, Lord."

nasb@Matthew:6:29 @Then He touched their eyes, saying, "It shall be done to you according to your faith."

nasb@Matthew:6:30 @And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them- "See that no one knows about this!"

nasb@Matthew:6:31 @But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout all that land.

nasb@Matthew:6:32 @As they were going out, a mute, demon-possessed man was brought to Him.

nasb@Matthew:6:33 @After the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed, and were saying, " Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel."

nasb@Matthew:6:34 @But the Pharisees were saying, "He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons."

nasb@Matthew:6:35 @Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

nasb@Matthew:6:36 @Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.

nasb@Matthew:6:37 @Then He said to His disciples, " The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

nasb@Matthew:6:38" @Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest."

nasb@Matthew:7:1 @Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

nasb@Matthew:7:2 @Now the names of the twelve apostles are these- The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

nasb@Matthew:7:3 @Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

nasb@Matthew:7:4 @Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him.

nasb@Matthew:7:5 @These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them- "Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans;

nasb@Matthew:7:6 @but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

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

nasb@Matthew:7:8" @Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.

nasb@Matthew:7:9" @ Do not acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts,

nasb@Matthew:7:10 @or a bag for your journey, or even two coats, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worthy of his support.

nasb@Matthew:7:11" @And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay at his house until you leave that city.

nasb@Matthew:7:12" @As you enter the house, give it your greeting.

nasb@Matthew:7:13" @If the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, take back your blessing of peace.

nasb@Matthew:7:14" @Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.

nasb@Matthew:7:15" @Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

nasb@Matthew:7:16" @ Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.

nasb@Matthew:7:17" @But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the courts and scourge you in their synagogues;

nasb@Matthew:7:18 @and you will even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

nasb@Matthew:7:19" @ But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say.

nasb@Matthew:7:20" @For it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

nasb@Matthew:7:21" @ Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.

nasb@Matthew:7:22" @ You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.

nasb@Matthew:7:23" @But whenever they persecute you in one city, flee to the next; for truly I say to you, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes.

nasb@Matthew:7:24" @ A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master.

nasb@Matthew:7:25" @It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!

nasb@Matthew:7:26" @Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.

nasb@Matthew:7:27" @ What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.

nasb@Matthew:7:28" @Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

nasb@Matthew:7:29" @ Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.

nasb@Matthew:7:30" @But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

nasb@Matthew:7:31" @So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

nasb@Matthew:7:32" @Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:7:33" @But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:7:34" @ Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

nasb@Matthew:7:35" @For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW;

nasb@Matthew:7:36 @and A MAN'S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD.

nasb@Matthew:7:37" @ He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

nasb@Matthew:7:38" @And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

nasb@Matthew:7:39" @ He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.

nasb@Matthew:7:40" @ He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.

nasb@Matthew:7:41" @ He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

nasb@Matthew:7:42" @And whoever in the name of a disciple gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward."

nasb@Matthew:8:1 @When Jesus had finished giving instructions to His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

nasb@Matthew:8:2 @Now when John, while imprisoned, heard of the works of Christ, he sent word by his disciples

nasb@Matthew:8:3 @and said to Him, "Are You the Expected One, or shall we look for someone else?"

nasb@Matthew:8:4 @Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and report to John what you hear and see-

nasb@Matthew:8:5 @the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM.

nasb@Matthew:8:6" @And blessed is he who does not take offense at Me."

nasb@Matthew:8:7 @As these men were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

nasb@Matthew:8:8" @But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Those who wear soft clothing are in kings' palaces!

nasb@Matthew:8:9" @But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and one who is more than a prophet.

nasb@Matthew:8:10" @This is the one about whom it is written, ' BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU, WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY BEFORE YOU.'

nasb@Matthew:8:11" @Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

nasb@Matthew:8:12" @ From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force.

nasb@Matthew:8:13" @For all the prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

nasb@Matthew:8:14" @And if you are willing to accept it, John himself is Elijah who was to come.

nasb@Matthew:8:15" @ He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

nasb@Matthew:8:16" @But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the market places, who call out to the other children,

nasb@Matthew:8:17 @and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.'

nasb@Matthew:8:18" @For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ' He has a demon!'

nasb@Matthew:8:19" @The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds."

nasb@Matthew:8:20 @Then He began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles were done, because they did not repent.

nasb@Matthew:8:21" @ Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had occurred in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

nasb@Matthew:8:22" @Nevertheless I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.

nasb@Matthew:8:23" @And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will descend to Hades; for if the miracles had occurred in Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day.

nasb@Matthew:8:24" @Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you."

nasb@Matthew:8:25 @At that time Jesus said, "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants.

nasb@Matthew:8:26" @Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.

nasb@Matthew:8:27" @ All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

nasb@Matthew:8:28" @ Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.

nasb@Matthew:8:29" @Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.

nasb@Matthew:8:30" @For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

nasb@Matthew:9:1 @At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat.

nasb@Matthew:9:2 @But when the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, "Look, Your disciples do what is not lawful to do on a Sabbath."

nasb@Matthew:9:3 @But He said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he became hungry, he and his companions,

nasb@Matthew:9:4 @how he entered the house of God, and they ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for him to eat nor for those with him, but for the priests alone?

nasb@Matthew:9:5" @Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and are innocent?

nasb@Matthew:9:6" @But I say to you that something greater than the temple is here.

nasb@Matthew:9:7" @But if you had known what this means, ' I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT A SACRIFICE,' you would not have condemned the innocent.

nasb@Matthew:9:8" @For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

nasb@Matthew:9:9 @Departing from there, He went into their synagogue.

nasb@Matthew:9:10 @And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned Jesus, asking, " Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"--so that they might accuse Him.

nasb@Matthew:9:11 @And He said to them, " What man is there among you who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?

nasb@Matthew:9:12" @ How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."

nasb@Matthew:9:13 @Then He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand!" He stretched it out, and it was restored to normal, like the other.

nasb@Matthew:9:14 @But the Pharisees went out and conspired against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.

nasb@Matthew:9:15 @But Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. Many followed Him, and He healed them all,

nasb@Matthew:9:16 @and warned them not to tell who He was.

nasb@Matthew:9:17 @This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet-

nasb@Matthew:9:18" @ BEHOLD, MY SERVANT WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN; MY BELOVED IN WHOM MY SOUL is WELL-PLEASED; I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT UPON HIM, AND HE SHALL PROCLAIM JUSTICE TO THE GENTILES.

nasb@Matthew:9:19" @ HE WILL NOT QUARREL, NOR CRY OUT; NOR WILL ANYONE HEAR HIS VOICE IN THE STREETS.

nasb@Matthew:9:20" @ A BATTERED REED HE WILL NOT OFF, AND A SMOLDERING WICK HE WILL NOT PUT OUT, UNTIL HE LEADS JUSTICE TO VICTORY.

nasb@Matthew:9:21" @ AND IN HIS NAME THE GENTILES WILL HOPE."

nasb@Matthew:9:22 @Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed him, so that the mute man spoke and saw.

nasb@Matthew:9:23 @All the crowds were amazed, and were saying, "This man cannot be the Son of David, can he?"

nasb@Matthew:9:24 @But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "This man casts out demons only by Beelzebul the ruler of the demons."

nasb@Matthew:9:25 @And knowing their thoughts Jesus said to them, "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself will not stand.

nasb@Matthew:9:26" @If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand?

nasb@Matthew:9:27" @If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? For this reason they will be your judges.

nasb@Matthew:9:28" @But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

nasb@Matthew:9:29" @Or how can anyone enter the strong man's house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.

nasb@Matthew:9:30" @ He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

nasb@Matthew:9:31" @ Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.

nasb@Matthew:9:32" @ Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.

nasb@Matthew:9:33" @Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit.

nasb@Matthew:9:34" @ You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.

nasb@Matthew:9:35" @ The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil.

nasb@Matthew:9:36" @But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment.

nasb@Matthew:9:37" @For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."

nasb@Matthew:9:38 @Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You."

nasb@Matthew:9:39 @But He answered and said to them, " An evil and adulterous generation craves for a sign; and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet;

nasb@Matthew:9:40 @for just as JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE BELLY OF THE SEA MONSTER, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

nasb@Matthew:9:41" @ The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment, and will condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

nasb@Matthew:9:42" @ The Queen of the South will rise up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

nasb@Matthew:9:43" @Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it.

nasb@Matthew:9:44" @Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came'; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order.

nasb@Matthew:9:45" @Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation."

nasb@Matthew:9:46 @While He was still speaking to the crowds, behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him.

nasb@Matthew:9:47 @Someone said to Him, "Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You."

nasb@Matthew:9:48 @But Jesus answered the one who was telling Him and said, "Who is My mother and who are My brothers?"

nasb@Matthew:9:49 @And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, "Behold My mother and My brothers!

nasb@Matthew:9:50" @For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother."

nasb@Matthew:10:1 @That day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting by the sea.

nasb@Matthew:10:2 @And large crowds gathered to Him, so He got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd was standing on the beach.

nasb@Matthew:10:3 @And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, "Behold, the sower went out to sow;

nasb@Matthew:10:4 @and as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up.

nasb@Matthew:10:5" @Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil.

nasb@Matthew:10:6" @But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

nasb@Matthew:10:7" @Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out.

nasb@Matthew:10:8" @And others fell on the good soil and yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.

nasb@Matthew:10:9" @ He who has ears, let him hear."

nasb@Matthew:10:10 @And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?"

nasb@Matthew:10:11 @Jesus answered them, " To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.

nasb@Matthew:10:12" @ For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.

nasb@Matthew:10:13" @Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

nasb@Matthew:10:14" @In their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, ' YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING, BUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND; YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE;

nasb@Matthew:10:15 @FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL, WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES, OTHERWISE THEY WOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES, HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN, AND I WOULD HEAL THEM.'

nasb@Matthew:10:16" @ But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.

nasb@Matthew:10:17" @For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

nasb@Matthew:10:18" @ Hear then the parable of the sower.

nasb@Matthew:10:19" @When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road.

nasb@Matthew:10:20" @The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

nasb@Matthew:10:21 @yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away.

nasb@Matthew:10:22" @And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

nasb@Matthew:10:23" @And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty."

nasb@Matthew:10:24 @Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, " The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

nasb@Matthew:10:25" @But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away.

nasb@Matthew:10:26" @But when the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the tares became evident also.

nasb@Matthew:10:27" @The slaves of the landowner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?'

nasb@Matthew:10:28" @And he said to them, 'An enemy has done this!' The slaves said to him, 'Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?'

nasb@Matthew:10:29" @But he said, 'No; for while you are gathering up the tares, you may uproot the wheat with them.

nasb@Matthew:10:30 @'Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"

nasb@Matthew:10:31 @He presented another parable to them, saying, " The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;

nasb@Matthew:10:32 @and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR come and NEST IN ITS BRANCHES."

nasb@Matthew:10:33 @He spoke another parable to them, " The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened."

nasb@Matthew:10:34 @All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and He did not speak to them without a parable.

nasb@Matthew:10:35 @This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet- " I WILL OPEN MY MOUTH IN PARABLES; I WILL UTTER THINGS HIDDEN SINCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD."

nasb@Matthew:10:36 @Then He left the crowds and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him and said, " Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field."

nasb@Matthew:10:37 @And He said, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,

nasb@Matthew:10:38 @and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one;

nasb@Matthew:10:39 @and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels.

nasb@Matthew:10:40" @So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age.

nasb@Matthew:10:41" @ The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness,

nasb@Matthew:10:42 @and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

nasb@Matthew:10:43" @ Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

nasb@Matthew:10:44" @ The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

nasb@Matthew:10:45" @Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls,

nasb@Matthew:10:46 @and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.

nasb@Matthew:10:47" @Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea, and gathering fish of every kind;

nasb@Matthew:10:48 @and when it was filled, they drew it up on the beach; and they sat down and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away.

nasb@Matthew:10:49" @So it will be at the end of the age; the angels will come forth and take out the wicked from among the righteous,

nasb@Matthew:10:50 @and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

nasb@Matthew:10:51" @Have you understood all these things?" They said to Him, "Yes."

nasb@Matthew:10:52 @And Jesus said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure things new and old."

nasb@Matthew:10:53 @When Jesus had finished these parables, He departed from there.

nasb@Matthew:10:54 @He came to His hometown and began teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?

nasb@Matthew:10:55" @Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

nasb@Matthew:10:56" @And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"

nasb@Matthew:10:57 @And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, " A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household."

nasb@Matthew:10:58 @And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.

nasb@Matthew:11:1 @At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus,

nasb@Matthew:11:2 @and said to his servants, " This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him."

nasb@Matthew:11:3 @For when Herod had John arrested, he bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.

nasb@Matthew:11:4 @For John had been saying to him, " It is not lawful for you to have her."

nasb@Matthew:11:5 @Although Herod wanted to put him to death, he feared the crowd, because they regarded John as a prophet.

nasb@Matthew:11:6 @But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod,

nasb@Matthew:11:7 @so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.

nasb@Matthew:11:8 @Having been prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."

nasb@Matthew:11:9 @Although he was grieved, the king commanded it to be given because of his oaths, and because of his dinner guests.

nasb@Matthew:11:10 @He sent and had John beheaded in the prison.

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

nasb@Matthew:11:12 @His disciples came and took away the body and buried it; and they went and reported to Jesus.

nasb@Matthew:11:13 @Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the people heard of this, they followed Him on foot from the cities.

nasb@Matthew:11:14 @When He went ashore, He saw a large crowd, and felt compassion for them and healed their sick.

nasb@Matthew:11:15 @When it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, "This place is desolate and the hour is already late; so send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves."

nasb@Matthew:11:16 @But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away; you give them something to eat!"

nasb@Matthew:11:17 @They said to Him, "We have here only five loaves and two fish."

nasb@Matthew:11:18 @And He said, "Bring them here to Me."

nasb@Matthew:11:19 @Ordering the people to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food, and breaking the loaves He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds,

nasb@Matthew:11:20 @and they all ate and were satisfied. They picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve full baskets.

nasb@Matthew:11:21 @There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children.

nasb@Matthew:11:22 @Immediately He made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away.

nasb@Matthew:11:23 @After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone.

nasb@Matthew:11:24 @But the boat was already a long distance from the land, battered by the waves; for the wind was contrary.

nasb@Matthew:11:25 @And in the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea.

nasb@Matthew:11:26 @When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out in fear.

nasb@Matthew:11:27 @But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, " Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid."

nasb@Matthew:11:28 @Peter said to Him, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water."

nasb@Matthew:11:29 @And He said, "Come!" And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

nasb@Matthew:11:30 @But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!"

nasb@Matthew:11:31 @Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, " You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

nasb@Matthew:11:32 @When they got into the boat, the wind stopped.

nasb@Matthew:11:33 @And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, "You are certainly God's Son!"

nasb@Matthew:11:34 @When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.

nasb@Matthew:11:35 @And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent word into all that surrounding district and brought to Him all who were sick;

nasb@Matthew:11:36 @and they implored Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were cured.

nasb@Matthew:11:15 @Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,

nasb@Matthew:11:2" @Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread."

nasb@Matthew:11:3 @And He answered and said to them, "Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

nasb@Matthew:11:4" @For God said, ' HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER,' and, ' HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH.'

nasb@Matthew:11:5" @But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or mother, "Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God,"

nasb@Matthew:11:6 @he is not to honor his father or his mother.' And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

nasb@Matthew:11:7" @You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you-

nasb@Matthew:11:8 @' THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.

nasb@Matthew:11:9 @'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.'"

nasb@Matthew:11:10 @After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, "Hear and understand.

nasb@Matthew:11:11" @ It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man."

nasb@Matthew:11:12 @Then the disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?"

nasb@Matthew:11:13 @But He answered and said, " Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant shall be uprooted.

nasb@Matthew:11:14" @Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit."

nasb@Matthew:11:15 @Peter said to Him, " Explain the parable to us."

nasb@Matthew:11:16 @Jesus said, "Are you still lacking in understanding also?

nasb@Matthew:11:17" @Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated?

nasb@Matthew:11:18" @But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man.

nasb@Matthew:11:19" @ For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders.

nasb@Matthew:11:20" @These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man."

nasb@Matthew:11:21 @Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the district of Tyre and Sidon.

nasb@Matthew:11:22 @And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed."

nasb@Matthew:11:23 @But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, "Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us."

nasb@Matthew:11:24 @But He answered and said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

nasb@Matthew:11:25 @But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, "Lord, help me!"

nasb@Matthew:11:26 @And He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

nasb@Matthew:11:27 @But she said, "Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."

nasb@Matthew:11:28 @Then Jesus said to her, "O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed at once.

nasb@Matthew:11:29 @Departing from there, Jesus went along by the Sea of Galilee, and having gone up on the mountain, He was sitting there.

nasb@Matthew:11:30 @And large crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and He healed them.

nasb@Matthew:11:31 @So the crowd marveled as they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

nasb@Matthew:11:32 @And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, " I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way."

nasb@Matthew:11:33 @The disciples said to Him, "Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?"

nasb@Matthew:11:34 @And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few small fish."

nasb@Matthew:11:35 @And He directed the people to sit down on the ground;

nasb@Matthew:11:36 @and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.

nasb@Matthew:11:37 @And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large baskets full.

nasb@Matthew:11:38 @And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

nasb@Matthew:11:39 @And sending away the crowds, Jesus got into the boat and came to the region of Magadan.

nasb@Matthew:12:1 @The Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and testing Jesus, they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven.

nasb@Matthew:12:2 @But He replied to them, " When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'

nasb@Matthew:12:3" @And in the morning, 'There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?

nasb@Matthew:12:4" @ An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and a sign will not be given it, except the sign of Jonah." And He left them and went away.

nasb@Matthew:12:5 @And the disciples came to the other side of the sea, but they had forgotten to bring any bread.

nasb@Matthew:12:6 @And Jesus said to them, "Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

nasb@Matthew:12:7 @They began to discuss this among themselves, saying, "He said that because we did not bring any bread."

nasb@Matthew:12:8 @But Jesus, aware of this, said, " You men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves that you have no bread?

nasb@Matthew:12:9" @Do you not yet understand or remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets full you picked up?

nasb@Matthew:12:10" @Or the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many large baskets full you picked up?

nasb@Matthew:12:11" @How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

nasb@Matthew:12:12 @Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

nasb@Matthew:12:13 @Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"

nasb@Matthew:12:14 @And they said, "Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."

nasb@Matthew:12:15 @He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

nasb@Matthew:12:16 @Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

nasb@Matthew:12:17 @And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:12:18" @I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.

nasb@Matthew:12:19" @I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven."

nasb@Matthew:12:20 @Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ.

nasb@Matthew:12:21 @From that time Jesus began to show 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 up on the third day.

nasb@Matthew:12:22 @Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, "God forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen to You."

nasb@Matthew:12:23 @But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but man's."

nasb@Matthew:12:24 @Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.

nasb@Matthew:12:25" @For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

nasb@Matthew:12:26" @For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

nasb@Matthew:12:27" @For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and WILL THEN REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS.

nasb@Matthew:12:28" @Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."

nasb@Matthew:13:1 @Six days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.

nasb@Matthew:13:2 @And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light.

nasb@Matthew:13:3 @And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.

nasb@Matthew:13:4 @Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, I will make three tabernacles here, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

nasb@Matthew:13:5 @While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, " This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!"

nasb@Matthew:13:6 @When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground and were terrified.

nasb@Matthew:13:7 @And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid."

nasb@Matthew:13:8 @And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.

nasb@Matthew:13:9 @As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, " Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."

nasb@Matthew:13:10 @And His disciples asked Him, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

nasb@Matthew:13:11 @And He answered and said, "Elijah is coming and will restore all things;

nasb@Matthew:13:12 @but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."

nasb@Matthew:13:13 @Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist.

nasb@Matthew:13:14 @When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, falling on his knees before Him and saying,

nasb@Matthew:13:15" @Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic and is very ill; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.

nasb@Matthew:13:16" @I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him."

nasb@Matthew:13:17 @And Jesus answered and said, "You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me."

nasb@Matthew:13:18 @And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured at once.

nasb@Matthew:13:19 @Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not drive it out?"

nasb@Matthew:13:20 @And He said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.

nasb@Matthew:13:21 @[" But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."]

nasb@Matthew:13:22 @And while they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men;

nasb@Matthew:13:23 @and they will kill Him, and He will be raised on the third day." And they were deeply grieved.

nasb@Matthew:13:24 @When they came to Capernaum, those who collected the two-drachma tax came to Peter and said, "Does your teacher not pay the two-drachma tax?"

nasb@Matthew:13:25 @He said, "Yes." And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs or poll-tax, from their sons or from strangers?"

nasb@Matthew:13:26 @When Peter said, "From strangers," Jesus said to him, "Then the sons are exempt.

nasb@Matthew:13:27" @However, so that we do not offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for you and Me."

nasb@Matthew:14:1 @At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, " Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

nasb@Matthew:14:2 @And He called a child to Himself and set him before them,

nasb@Matthew:14:3 @and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:14:4" @Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:14:5" @And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me;

nasb@Matthew:14:6 @but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

nasb@Matthew:14:7" @Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!

nasb@Matthew:14:8" @ If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than to have two hands or two feet and be cast into the eternal fire.

nasb@Matthew:14:9" @ If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter life with one eye, than to have two eyes and be cast into the fiery hell.

nasb@Matthew:14:10" @See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:14:11 @[" For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.]

nasb@Matthew:14:12" @What do you think? If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying?

nasb@Matthew:14:13" @If it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.

nasb@Matthew:14:14" @So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish.

nasb@Matthew:14:15" @ If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.

nasb@Matthew:14:16" @But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED.

nasb@Matthew:14:17" @If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

nasb@Matthew:14:18" @Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:14:19" @Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:14:20" @For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst."

nasb@Matthew:14:21 @Then Peter came and said to Him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"

nasb@Matthew:14:22 @Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.

nasb@Matthew:14:23" @For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves.

nasb@Matthew:14:24" @When he had begun to settle them, one who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him.

nasb@Matthew:14:25" @But since he did not have the means to repay, his lord commanded him to be sold, along with his wife and children and all that he had, and repayment to be made.

nasb@Matthew:14:26" @So the slave fell to the ground and prostrated himself before him, saying, 'Have patience with me and I will repay you everything.'

nasb@Matthew:14:27" @And the lord of that slave felt compassion and released him and forgave him the debt.

nasb@Matthew:14:28" @But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii; and he seized him and began to choke him, saying, 'Pay back what you owe.'

nasb@Matthew:14:29" @So his fellow slave fell to the ground and began to plead with him, saying, 'Have patience with me and I will repay you.'

nasb@Matthew:14:30" @But he was unwilling and went and threw him in prison until he should pay back what was owed.

nasb@Matthew:14:31" @So when his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were deeply grieved and came and reported to their lord all that had happened.

nasb@Matthew:14:32" @Then summoning him, his lord said to him, 'You wicked slave, I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me.

nasb@Matthew:14:33 @' Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, in the same way that I had mercy on you?'

nasb@Matthew:14:34" @And his lord, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed him.

nasb@Matthew:14:35" @ My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart."

nasb@Matthew:15:1 @When Jesus had finished these words, He departed from Galilee and came into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan;

nasb@Matthew:15:2 @and large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.

nasb@Matthew:15:3 @Some Pharisees came to Jesus, testing Him and asking, " Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?"

nasb@Matthew:15:4 @And He answered and said, "Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE,

nasb@Matthew:15:5 @and said, ' FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH'?

nasb@Matthew:15:6" @So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."

nasb@Matthew:15:7 @They said to Him, " Why then did Moses command to GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND SEND her AWAY?"

nasb@Matthew:15:8 @He said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way.

nasb@Matthew:15:9" @And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery."

nasb@Matthew:15:10 @The disciples said to Him, "If the relationship of the man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry."

nasb@Matthew:15:11 @But He said to them, " Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been given.

nasb@Matthew:15:12" @For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it."

nasb@Matthew:15:13 @Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

nasb@Matthew:15:14 @But Jesus said, " Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

nasb@Matthew:15:15 @After laying His hands on them, He departed from there.

nasb@Matthew:15:16 @And someone came to Him and said, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?"

nasb@Matthew:15:17 @And He said to him, "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments."

nasb@Matthew:15:18 @Then he said to Him, "Which ones?" And Jesus said, " YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER; YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY; YOU SHALL NOT STEAL; YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS;

nasb@Matthew:15:19 @HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER; and YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

nasb@Matthew:15:20 @The young man said to Him, "All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?"

nasb@Matthew:15:21 @Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

nasb@Matthew:15:22 @But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.

nasb@Matthew:15:23 @And Jesus said to His disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:15:24" @Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

nasb@Matthew:15:25 @When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, "Then who can be saved?"

nasb@Matthew:15:26 @And looking at them Jesus said to them, " With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

nasb@Matthew:15:27 @Then Peter said to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You; what then will there be for us?"

nasb@Matthew:15:28 @And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

nasb@Matthew:15:29" @And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name's sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life.

nasb@Matthew:15:30" @ But many who are first will be last; and the last, first.

nasb@Matthew:15:20" @For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

nasb@Matthew:15:2" @When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius for the day, he sent them into his vineyard.

nasb@Matthew:15:3" @And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the market place;

nasb@Matthew:15:4 @and to those he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' And so they went.

nasb@Matthew:15:5" @Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did the same thing.

nasb@Matthew:15:6" @And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing around; and he said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day long?'

nasb@Matthew:15:7" @They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You go into the vineyard too.'

nasb@Matthew:15:8" @When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last group to the first.'

nasb@Matthew:15:9" @When those hired about the eleventh hour came, each one received a denarius.

nasb@Matthew:15:10" @When those hired first came, they thought that they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius.

nasb@Matthew:15:11" @When they received it, they grumbled at the landowner,

nasb@Matthew:15:12 @saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.'

nasb@Matthew:15:13" @But he answered and said to one of them, ' Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius?

nasb@Matthew:15:14 @'Take what is yours and go, but I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.

nasb@Matthew:15:15 @'Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is my own? Or is your eye envious because I am generous?'

nasb@Matthew:15:16" @So the last shall be first, and the first last."

nasb@Matthew:15:17 @As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the way He said to them,

nasb@Matthew:15:18" @Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death,

nasb@Matthew:15:19 @and will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and scourge and crucify Him, and on the third day He will be raised up."

nasb@Matthew:15:20 @Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him.

nasb@Matthew:15:21 @And He said to her, "What do you wish?" She said to Him, "Command that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit one on Your right and one on Your left."

nasb@Matthew:15:22 @But Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to Him, "We are able."

nasb@Matthew:15:23 @He said to them, " My cup you shall drink; but to sit on My right and on My left, this is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father."

nasb@Matthew:15:24 @And hearing this, the ten became indignant with the two brothers.

nasb@Matthew:15:25 @But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.

nasb@Matthew:15:26" @It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant,

nasb@Matthew:15:27 @and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave;

nasb@Matthew:15:28 @just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

nasb@Matthew:15:29 @As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him.

nasb@Matthew:15:30 @And two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

nasb@Matthew:15:31 @The crowd sternly told them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"

nasb@Matthew:15:32 @And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, "What do you want Me to do for you?"

nasb@Matthew:15:33 @They said to Him, "Lord, we want our eyes to be opened."

nasb@Matthew:15:34 @Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.

nasb@Matthew:16:1 @When they had approached Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

nasb@Matthew:16:2 @saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to Me.

nasb@Matthew:16:3" @If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and immediately he will send them."

nasb@Matthew:16:4 @This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet-

nasb@Matthew:16:5" @ SAY TO THE DAUGHTER OF ZION, 'BEHOLD YOUR KING IS COMING TO YOU, GENTLE, AND MOUNTED ON A DONKEY, EVEN ON A COLT, THE FOAL OF A BEAST OF BURDEN.'"

nasb@Matthew:16:6 @The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them,

nasb@Matthew:16:7 @and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their coats on them; and He sat on the coats.

nasb@Matthew:16:8 @Most of the crowd spread their coats in the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in the road.

nasb@Matthew:16:9 @The crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David; BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Hosanna in the highest!"

nasb@Matthew:16:10 @When He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, "Who is this?"

nasb@Matthew:16:11 @And the crowds were saying, "This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee."

nasb@Matthew:16:12 @And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves.

nasb@Matthew:16:14 @And the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.

nasb@Matthew:16:15 @But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done, and the children who were shouting in the temple, "Hosanna to the Son of David," they became indignant

nasb@Matthew:16:16 @and said to Him, "Do You hear what these children are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes; have you never read, ' OUT OF THE MOUTH OF INFANTS AND NURSING BABIES YOU HAVE PREPARED PRAISE FOR YOURSELF'?"

nasb@Matthew:16:17 @And He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and spent the night there.

nasb@Matthew:16:18 @Now in the morning, when He was returning to the city, He became hungry.

nasb@Matthew:16:19 @Seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it except leaves only; and He said to it, "No longer shall there ever be any fruit from you." And at once the fig tree withered.

nasb@Matthew:16:20 @Seeing this, the disciples were amazed and asked, "How did the fig tree wither all at once?"

nasb@Matthew:16:21 @And Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen.

nasb@Matthew:16:22" @And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."

nasb@Matthew:16:23 @When He entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him while He was teaching, and said, "By what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?"

nasb@Matthew:16:24 @Jesus said to them, "I will also ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.

nasb@Matthew:16:25" @The baptism of John was from what source, from heaven or from men?" And they began reasoning among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say to us, 'Then why did you not believe him?'

nasb@Matthew:16:26" @But if we say, 'From men,' we fear the people; for they all regard John as a prophet."

nasb@Matthew:16:27 @And answering Jesus, they said, "We do not know." He also said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

nasb@Matthew:16:28" @But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.'

nasb@Matthew:16:29" @And he answered, 'I will not'; but afterward he regretted it and went.

nasb@Matthew:16:30" @The man came to the second and said the same thing; and he answered, 'I will, sir'; but he did not go.

nasb@Matthew:16:31" @Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the kingdom of God before you.

nasb@Matthew:16:32" @For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and prostitutes did believe him; and you, seeing this, did not even feel remorse afterward so as to believe him.

nasb@Matthew:16:33" @Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who PLANTED A VINEYARD AND PUT A WALL AROUND IT AND DUG A WINE PRESS IN IT, AND BUILT A TOWER, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.

nasb@Matthew:16:34" @When the harvest time approached, he sent his slaves to the vine-growers to receive his produce.

nasb@Matthew:16:35" @The vine-growers took his slaves and beat one, and killed another, and stoned a third.

nasb@Matthew:16:36" @Again he sent another group of slaves larger than the first; and they did the same thing to them.

nasb@Matthew:16:37" @But afterward he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

nasb@Matthew:16:38" @But when the vine-growers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.'

nasb@Matthew:16:39" @They took him, and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

nasb@Matthew:16:40" @Therefore when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-growers?"

nasb@Matthew:16:41 @They said to Him, "He will bring those wretches to a wretched end, and will rent out the vineyard to other vine-growers who will pay him the proceeds at the proper seasons."

nasb@Matthew:16:42 @Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, ' THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone; THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES'?

nasb@Matthew:16:43" @Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people, producing the fruit of it.

nasb@Matthew:16:44" @And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust."

nasb@Matthew:16:45 @When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard His parables, they understood that He was speaking about them.

nasb@Matthew:16:46 @When they sought to seize Him, they feared the people, because they considered Him to be a prophet.

nasb@Matthew:16:22 @Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying,

nasb@Matthew:16:2" @ The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.

nasb@Matthew:16:3" @And he sent out his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come.

nasb@Matthew:16:4" @Again he sent out other slaves saying, 'Tell those who have been invited, "Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast."'

nasb@Matthew:16:5" @But they paid no attention and went their way, one to his own farm, another to his business,

nasb@Matthew:16:6 @and the rest seized his slaves and mistreated them and killed them.

nasb@Matthew:16:7" @But the king was enraged, and he sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and set their city on fire.

nasb@Matthew:16:8" @Then he said to his slaves, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

nasb@Matthew:16:9 @'Go therefore to the main highways, and as many as you find there, invite to the wedding feast.'

nasb@Matthew:16:10" @Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all they found, both evil and good; and the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests.

nasb@Matthew:16:11" @But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes,

nasb@Matthew:16:12 @and he said to him, ' Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?' And the man was speechless.

nasb@Matthew:16:13" @Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

nasb@Matthew:16:14" @For many are called, but few are chosen."

nasb@Matthew:16:15 @Then the Pharisees went and plotted together how they might trap Him in what He said.

nasb@Matthew:16:16 @And they sent their disciples to Him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any.

nasb@Matthew:16:17" @Tell us then, what do You think? Is it lawful to give a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?"

nasb@Matthew:16:18 @But Jesus perceived their malice, and said, "Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?

nasb@Matthew:16:19" @Show Me the coin used for the poll-tax." And they brought Him a denarius.

nasb@Matthew:16:20 @And He said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?"

nasb@Matthew:16:21 @They said to Him, "Caesar's." Then He said to them, " Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's."

nasb@Matthew:16:22 @And hearing this, they were amazed, and leaving Him, they went away.

nasb@Matthew:16:23 @On that day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Jesus and questioned Him,

nasb@Matthew:16:24 @asking, "Teacher, Moses said, ' IF A MAN DIES HAVING NO CHILDREN, HIS BROTHER AS NEXT OF KIN SHALL MARRY HIS WIFE, AND RAISE UP CHILDREN FOR HIS BROTHER.'

nasb@Matthew:16:25" @Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother;

nasb@Matthew:16:26 @so also the second, and the third, down to the seventh.

nasb@Matthew:16:27" @Last of all, the woman died.

nasb@Matthew:16:28" @In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her."

nasb@Matthew:16:29 @But Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God.

nasb@Matthew:16:30" @For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:16:31" @But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God-

nasb@Matthew:16:32 @' I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."

nasb@Matthew:16:33 @When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

nasb@Matthew:16:34 @But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered themselves together.

nasb@Matthew:16:35 @One of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him,

nasb@Matthew:16:36" @Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?"

nasb@Matthew:16:37 @And He said to him, " ' YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.'

nasb@Matthew:16:38" @This is the great and foremost commandment.

nasb@Matthew:16:39" @The second is like it, ' YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'

nasb@Matthew:16:40" @ On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."

nasb@Matthew:16:41 @Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question-

nasb@Matthew:16:42" @What do you think about the Christ, whose son is He?" They said to Him, " The son of David."

nasb@Matthew:16:43 @He said to them, "Then how does David in the Spirit call Him 'Lord,' saying,

nasb@Matthew:16:44 @' THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES BENEATH YOUR FEET"'?

nasb@Matthew:16:45" @If David then calls Him 'Lord,' how is He his son?"

nasb@Matthew:16:46 @No one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask Him another question.

nasb@Matthew:17:1 @Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples,

nasb@Matthew:17:2 @saying- " The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses;

nasb@Matthew:17:3 @therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them.

nasb@Matthew:17:4" @ They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger.

nasb@Matthew:17:5" @But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments.

nasb@Matthew:17:6" @They love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues,

nasb@Matthew:17:7 @and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called Rabbi by men.

nasb@Matthew:17:8" @But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.

nasb@Matthew:17:9" @Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:17:10" @Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ.

nasb@Matthew:17:11" @ But the greatest among you shall be your servant.

nasb@Matthew:17:12" @ Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.

nasb@Matthew:17:13" @ But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.

nasb@Matthew:17:14 @[" Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation.]

nasb@Matthew:17:15" @Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

nasb@Matthew:17:16" @Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ' Whoever swears by the temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple is obligated.'

nasb@Matthew:17:17" @You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold?

nasb@Matthew:17:18" @And, 'Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing, but whoever swears by the offering on it, he is obligated.'

nasb@Matthew:17:19" @You blind men, which is more important, the offering, or the altar that sanctifies the offering?

nasb@Matthew:17:20" @Therefore, whoever swears by the altar, swears both by the altar and by everything on it.

nasb@Matthew:17:21" @And whoever swears by the temple, swears both by the temple and by Him who dwells within it.

nasb@Matthew:17:22" @And whoever swears by heaven, swears both by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it.

nasb@Matthew:17:23" @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law- justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.

nasb@Matthew:17:24" @You blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!

nasb@Matthew:17:25" @Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence.

nasb@Matthew:17:26" @You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.

nasb@Matthew:17:27" @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.

nasb@Matthew:17:28" @So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

nasb@Matthew:17:29" @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,

nasb@Matthew:17:30 @and say, 'If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.'

nasb@Matthew:17:31" @So you testify against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.

nasb@Matthew:17:32" @Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers.

nasb@Matthew:17:33" @You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of hell?

nasb@Matthew:17:34" @ Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city,

nasb@Matthew:17:35 @so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

nasb@Matthew:17:36" @Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.

nasb@Matthew:17:37" @ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.

nasb@Matthew:17:38" @Behold, your house is being left to you desolate!

nasb@Matthew:17:39" @For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ' BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!'"

nasb@Matthew:18:1 @Jesus came out from the temple and was going away when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him.

nasb@Matthew:18:2 @And He said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down."

nasb@Matthew:18:3 @As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"

nasb@Matthew:18:4 @And Jesus answered and said to them, " See to it that no one misleads you.

nasb@Matthew:18:5" @For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many.

nasb@Matthew:18:6" @You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.

nasb@Matthew:18:7" @For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.

nasb@Matthew:18:8" @ But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

nasb@Matthew:18:9" @ Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

nasb@Matthew:18:10" @At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another.

nasb@Matthew:18:11" @Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.

nasb@Matthew:18:12" @Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold.

nasb@Matthew:18:13" @ But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.

nasb@Matthew:18:14" @This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

nasb@Matthew:18:15" @Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place ( let the reader understand),

nasb@Matthew:18:16 @then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.

nasb@Matthew:18:17" @Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house.

nasb@Matthew:18:18" @Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak.

nasb@Matthew:18:19" @But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

nasb@Matthew:18:20" @But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath.

nasb@Matthew:18:21" @For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.

nasb@Matthew:18:22" @Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.

nasb@Matthew:18:23" @ Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or 'There He is,' do not believe him.

nasb@Matthew:18:24" @For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.

nasb@Matthew:18:25" @Behold, I have told you in advance.

nasb@Matthew:18:26" @So if they say to you, 'Behold, He is in the wilderness,' do not go out, or, 'Behold, He is in the inner rooms,' do not believe them.

nasb@Matthew:18:27" @ For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

nasb@Matthew:18:28" @ Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.

nasb@Matthew:18:29" @But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

nasb@Matthew:18:30" @And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory.

nasb@Matthew:18:31" @And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

nasb@Matthew:18:32" @Now learn the parable from the fig tree- when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near;

nasb@Matthew:18:33 @so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.

nasb@Matthew:18:34" @Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

nasb@Matthew:18:35" @ Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

nasb@Matthew:18:36" @But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

nasb@Matthew:18:37" @For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.

nasb@Matthew:18:38" @For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,

nasb@Matthew:18:39 @and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

nasb@Matthew:18:40" @Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.

nasb@Matthew:18:41" @ Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left.

nasb@Matthew:18:42" @Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.

nasb@Matthew:18:43" @But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

nasb@Matthew:18:44" @For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.

nasb@Matthew:18:45" @ Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time?

nasb@Matthew:18:46" @Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.

nasb@Matthew:18:47" @Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

nasb@Matthew:18:48" @But if that evil slave says in his heart, 'My master is not coming for a long time,'

nasb@Matthew:18:49 @and begins to beat his fellow slaves and eat and drink with drunkards;

nasb@Matthew:18:50 @the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour which he does not know,

nasb@Matthew:18:51 @and will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

nasb@Matthew:18:25" @Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

nasb@Matthew:18:2" @Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.

nasb@Matthew:18:3" @For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them,

nasb@Matthew:18:4 @but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps.

nasb@Matthew:18:5" @Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep.

nasb@Matthew:18:6" @But at midnight there was a shout, 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.'

nasb@Matthew:18:7" @Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.

nasb@Matthew:18:8" @The foolish said to the prudent, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'

nasb@Matthew:18:9" @But the prudent answered, 'No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.'

nasb@Matthew:18:10" @And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut.

nasb@Matthew:18:11" @Later the other virgins also came, saying, ' Lord, lord, open up for us.'

nasb@Matthew:18:12" @But he answered, 'Truly I say to you, I do not know you.'

nasb@Matthew:18:13" @ Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour.

nasb@Matthew:18:14" @ For it is just like a man about to go on a journey, who called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them.

nasb@Matthew:18:15" @To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey.

nasb@Matthew:18:16" @Immediately the one who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained five more talents.

nasb@Matthew:18:17" @In the same manner the one who had received the two talents gained two more.

nasb@Matthew:18:18" @But he who received the one talent went away, and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.

nasb@Matthew:18:19" @Now after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.

nasb@Matthew:18:20" @The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, 'Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more talents.'

nasb@Matthew:18:21" @His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.'

nasb@Matthew:18:22" @Also the one who had received the two talents came up and said, 'Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more talents.'

nasb@Matthew:18:23" @His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.'

nasb@Matthew:18:24" @And the one also who had received the one talent came up and said, 'Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you scattered no seed.

nasb@Matthew:18:25 @'And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.'

nasb@Matthew:18:26" @But his master answered and said to him, 'You wicked, lazy slave, you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I scattered no seed.

nasb@Matthew:18:27 @'Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and on my arrival I would have received my money back with interest.

nasb@Matthew:18:28 @'Therefore take away the talent from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.'

nasb@Matthew:18:29" @ For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.

nasb@Matthew:18:30" @Throw out the worthless slave into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

nasb@Matthew:18:31" @But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.

nasb@Matthew:18:32" @All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;

nasb@Matthew:18:33 @and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.

nasb@Matthew:18:34" @Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

nasb@Matthew:18:35 @'For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;

nasb@Matthew:18:36 @naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.'

nasb@Matthew:18:37" @Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink?

nasb@Matthew:18:38 @'And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You?

nasb@Matthew:18:39 @'When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'

nasb@Matthew:18:40" @ The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'

nasb@Matthew:18:41" @Then He will also say to those on His left, ' Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;

nasb@Matthew:18:42 @for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink;

nasb@Matthew:18:43 @I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.'

nasb@Matthew:18:44" @Then they themselves also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?'

nasb@Matthew:18:45" @Then He will answer them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.'

nasb@Matthew:18:46" @These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

nasb@Matthew:18:26 @When Jesus had finished all these words, He said to His disciples,

nasb@Matthew:18:2" @ You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be handed over for crucifixion."

nasb@Matthew:18:3 @Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, named Caiaphas;

nasb@Matthew:18:4 @and they plotted together to seize Jesus by stealth and kill Him.

nasb@Matthew:18:5 @But they were saying, "Not during the festival, otherwise a riot might occur among the people."

nasb@Matthew:18:6 @Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper,

nasb@Matthew:18:7 @a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table.

nasb@Matthew:18:8 @But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, "Why this waste?

nasb@Matthew:18:9" @For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor."

nasb@Matthew:18:10 @But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me.

nasb@Matthew:18:11" @For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me.

nasb@Matthew:18:12" @For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial.

nasb@Matthew:18:13" @Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her."

nasb@Matthew:18:14 @Then one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

nasb@Matthew:18:15 @and said, "What are you willing to give me to betray Him to you?" And they weighed out thirty pieces of silver to him.

nasb@Matthew:18:16 @From then on he began looking for a good opportunity to betray Jesus.

nasb@Matthew:18:17 @Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?"

nasb@Matthew:18:18 @And He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, " My time is near; I am to keep the Passover at your house with My disciples."'"

nasb@Matthew:18:19 @The disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.

nasb@Matthew:18:20 @Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.

nasb@Matthew:18:21 @As they were eating, He said, " Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me."

nasb@Matthew:18:22 @Being deeply grieved, they each one began to say to Him, "Surely not I, Lord?"

nasb@Matthew:18:23 @And He answered, " He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me.

nasb@Matthew:18:24" @The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born."

nasb@Matthew:18:25 @And Judas, who was betraying Him, said, "Surely it is not I, Rabbi?" Jesus said to him, " You have said it yourself."

nasb@Matthew:18:26 @While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."

nasb@Matthew:18:27 @And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you;

nasb@Matthew:18:28 @for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.

nasb@Matthew:18:29" @But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."

nasb@Matthew:18:30 @After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

nasb@Matthew:18:31 @Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, ' I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP OF THE FLOCK SHALL BE SCATTERED.'

nasb@Matthew:18:32" @But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee."

nasb@Matthew:18:33 @But Peter said to Him, "Even though all may fall away because of You, I will never fall away."

nasb@Matthew:18:34 @Jesus said to him, " Truly I say to you that this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."

nasb@Matthew:18:35 @Peter said to Him, " Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You." All the disciples said the same thing too.

nasb@Matthew:18:36 @Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."

nasb@Matthew:18:37 @And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed.

nasb@Matthew:18:38 @Then He said to them, " My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me."

nasb@Matthew:18:39 @And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will."

nasb@Matthew:18:40 @And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour?

nasb@Matthew:18:41" @ Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

nasb@Matthew:18:42 @He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done."

nasb@Matthew:18:43 @Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

nasb@Matthew:18:44 @And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.

nasb@Matthew:18:45 @Then He came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

nasb@Matthew:18:46" @Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"

nasb@Matthew:18:47 @While He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came up accompanied by a large crowd with swords and clubs, who came from the chief priests and elders of the people.

nasb@Matthew:18:48 @Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him."

nasb@Matthew:18:49 @Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.

nasb@Matthew:18:50 @And Jesus said to him, " Friend, do what you have come for." Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.

nasb@Matthew:18:51 @And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.

nasb@Matthew:18:52 @Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.

nasb@Matthew:18:53" @Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

nasb@Matthew:18:54" @How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?"

nasb@Matthew:18:55 @At that time Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me.

nasb@Matthew:18:56" @But all this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures of the prophets." Then all the disciples left Him and fled.

nasb@Matthew:18:57 @Those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

nasb@Matthew:18:58 @But Peter was following Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the officers to see the outcome.

nasb@Matthew:18:59 @Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death.

nasb@Matthew:18:60 @They did not find any, even though many false witnesses came forward. But later on two came forward,

nasb@Matthew:18:61 @and said, "This man stated, ' I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.'"

nasb@Matthew:18:62 @The high priest stood up and said to Him, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?"

nasb@Matthew:18:63 @But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God."

nasb@Matthew:18:64 @Jesus said to him, " You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you will see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN."

nasb@Matthew:18:65 @Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy;

nasb@Matthew:18:66 @what do you think?" They answered, " He deserves death!"

nasb@Matthew:18:67 @Then they spat in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others slapped Him,

nasb@Matthew:18:68 @and said, " Prophesy to us, You Christ; who is the one who hit You?"

nasb@Matthew:18:69 @Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant-girl came to him and said, "You too were with Jesus the Galilean."

nasb@Matthew:18:70 @But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about."

nasb@Matthew:18:71 @When he had gone out to the gateway, another servant-girl saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth."

nasb@Matthew:18:72 @And again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man."

nasb@Matthew:18:73 @A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Surely you too are one of them; for even the way you talk gives you away."

nasb@Matthew:18:74 @Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know the man!" And immediately a rooster crowed.

nasb@Matthew:18:75 @And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, " Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly.

nasb@Matthew:19:1 @Now when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus to put Him to death;

nasb@Matthew:19:2 @and they bound Him, and led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate the governor.

nasb@Matthew:19:3 @Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

nasb@Matthew:19:4 @saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? See to that yourself!"

nasb@Matthew:19:5 @And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.

nasb@Matthew:19:6 @The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood."

nasb@Matthew:19:7 @And they conferred together and with the money bought the Potter's Field as a burial place for strangers.

nasb@Matthew:19:8 @For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

nasb@Matthew:19:9 @Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled- " AND THEY TOOK THE THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER, THE PRICE OF THE ONE WHOSE PRICE HAD BEEN SET by the sons of Israel;

nasb@Matthew:19:10 @AND THEY GAVE THEM FOR THE POTTER'S FIELD, AS THE LORD DIRECTED ME."

nasb@Matthew:19:11 @Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And Jesus said to him, " It is as you say."

nasb@Matthew:19:12 @And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He did not answer.

nasb@Matthew:19:13 @Then Pilate said to Him, "Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?"

nasb@Matthew:19:14 @And He did not answer him with regard to even a single charge, so the governor was quite amazed.

nasb@Matthew:19:15 @Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the people any one prisoner whom they wanted.

nasb@Matthew:19:16 @At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.

nasb@Matthew:19:17 @So when the people gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"

nasb@Matthew:19:18 @For he knew that because of envy they had handed Him over.

nasb@Matthew:19:19 @While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous Man; for last night I suffered greatly in a dream because of Him."

nasb@Matthew:19:20 @But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to put Jesus to death.

nasb@Matthew:19:21 @But the governor said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barabbas."

nasb@Matthew:19:22 @Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Crucify Him!"

nasb@Matthew:19:23 @And he said, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they kept shouting all the more, saying, "Crucify Him!"

nasb@Matthew:19:24 @When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this Man's blood; see to that yourselves."

nasb@Matthew:19:25 @And all the people said, " His blood shall be on us and on our children!"

nasb@Matthew:19:26 @Then he released Barabbas for them; but after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

nasb@Matthew:19:27 @Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole Roman cohort around Him.

nasb@Matthew:19:28 @They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

nasb@Matthew:19:29 @And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, " Hail, King of the Jews!"

nasb@Matthew:19:30 @They spat on Him, and took the reed and began to beat Him on the head.

nasb@Matthew:19:31 @After they had mocked Him, they took the scarlet robe off Him and put His own garments back on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.

nasb@Matthew:19:32 @As they were coming out, they found a man of Cyrene named Simon, whom they pressed into service to bear His cross.

nasb@Matthew:19:33 @And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull,

nasb@Matthew:19:34 @they gave Him wine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink.

nasb@Matthew:19:35 @And when they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments among themselves by casting lots.

nasb@Matthew:19:36 @And sitting down, they began to keep watch over Him there.

nasb@Matthew:19:37 @And above His head they put up the charge against Him which read, " THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS."

nasb@Matthew:19:38 @At that time two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left.

nasb@Matthew:19:39 @And those passing by were hurling abuse at Him, wagging their heads

nasb@Matthew:19:40 @and saying, " You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross."

nasb@Matthew:19:41 @In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying,

nasb@Matthew:19:42" @ He saved others; He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

nasb@Matthew:19:43" @ HE TRUSTS IN GOD; LET GOD RESCUE Him now, IF HE DELIGHTS IN HIM; for He said, 'I am the Son of God.'"

nasb@Matthew:19:44 @The robbers who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the same words.

nasb@Matthew:19:45 @Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour.

nasb@Matthew:19:46 @About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, " ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" that is, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"

nasb@Matthew:19:47 @And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, began saying, "This man is calling for Elijah."

nasb@Matthew:19:48 @Immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, he filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink.

nasb@Matthew:19:49 @But the rest of them said, "Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him."

nasb@Matthew:19:50 @And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.

nasb@Matthew:19:51 @And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split.

nasb@Matthew:19:52 @The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

nasb@Matthew:19:53 @and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many.

nasb@Matthew:19:54 @Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

nasb@Matthew:19:55 @Many women were there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while ministering to Him.

nasb@Matthew:19:56 @Among them was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

nasb@Matthew:19:57 @When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

nasb@Matthew:19:58 @This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

nasb@Matthew:19:59 @And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

nasb@Matthew:19:60 @and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away.

nasb@Matthew:19:61 @And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the grave.

nasb@Matthew:19:62 @Now on the next day, the day after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together with Pilate,

nasb@Matthew:19:63 @and said, "Sir, we remember that when He was still alive that deceiver said, ' After three days I am to rise again.'

nasb@Matthew:19:64" @Therefore, give orders for the grave to be made secure until the third day, otherwise His disciples may come and steal Him away and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead,' and the last deception will be worse than the first."

nasb@Matthew:19:65 @Pilate said to them, "You have a guard; go, make it as secure as you know how."

nasb@Matthew:19:66 @And they went and made the grave secure, and along with the guard they set a seal on the stone.

nasb@Matthew:20:1 @Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave.

nasb@Matthew:20:2 @And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.

nasb@Matthew:20:3 @And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.

nasb@Matthew:20:4 @The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men.

nasb@Matthew:20:5 @The angel said to the women, " Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.

nasb@Matthew:20:6" @He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.

nasb@Matthew:20:7" @Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you."

nasb@Matthew:20:8 @And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples.

nasb@Matthew:20:9 @And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.

nasb@Matthew:20:10 @Then Jesus said to them, " Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me."

nasb@Matthew:20:11 @Now while they were on their way, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.

nasb@Matthew:20:12 @And when they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,

nasb@Matthew:20:13 @and said, "You are to say, 'His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.'

nasb@Matthew:20:14" @And if this should come to the governor's ears, we will win him over and keep you out of trouble."

nasb@Matthew:20:15 @And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely spread among the Jews, and is to this day.

nasb@Matthew:20:16 @But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated.

nasb@Matthew:20:17 @When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful.

nasb@Matthew:20:18 @And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, " All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

nasb@Matthew:20:19" @ Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,

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

nasb@Mark:1:3 @THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, 'MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.'"

nasb@Mark:1:6 @John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and his diet was locusts and wild honey.

nasb@Mark:1:8" @I baptized you with water; but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."

nasb@Mark:1:10 @Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him;

nasb@Mark:1:12 @Immediately the Spirit impelled Him to go out into the wilderness.

nasb@Mark:1:13 @And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him.

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

nasb@Mark:1:18 @Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

nasb@Mark:1:19 @Going on a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.

nasb@Mark:1:20 @Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went away to follow Him.

nasb@Mark:1:21 @They went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach.

nasb@Mark:1:22 @They were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

nasb@Mark:1:24 @saying, " What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are-- the Holy One of God!"

nasb@Mark:1:27 @They were all amazed, so that they debated among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him."

nasb@Mark:1:28 @Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere into all the surrounding district of Galilee.

nasb@Mark:1:29 @And immediately after they came out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

nasb@Mark:1:30 @Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they spoke to Jesus about her.

nasb@Mark:1:33 @And the whole city had gathered at the door.

nasb@Mark:1:38 @He said to them, "Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may preach there also; for that is what I came for."

nasb@Mark:1:42 @Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.

nasb@Mark:1:43 @And He sternly warned him and immediately sent him away,

nasb@Mark:1:44 @and He said to him, " See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

nasb@Mark:1:45 @But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the news around, to such an extent that Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but stayed out in unpopulated areas; and they were coming to Him from everywhere.

nasb@Mark:2:1 @When He had come back to Capernaum several days afterward, it was heard that He was at home.

nasb@Mark:2:2 @And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room, not even near the door; and He was speaking the word to them.

nasb@Mark:2:7" @Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming; who can forgive sins but God alone?"

nasb@Mark:2:8 @Immediately Jesus, aware in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, said to them, "Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?

nasb@Mark:2:10" @But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--He said to the paralytic,

nasb@Mark:2:12 @And he got up and immediately picked up the pallet and went out in the sight of everyone, so that they were all amazed and were glorifying God, saying, " We have never seen anything like this."

nasb@Mark:2:15 @And it happened that He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners were dining with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many of them, and they were following Him.

nasb@Mark:2:16 @When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they said to His disciples, " Why is He eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners?"

nasb@Mark:2:19 @And Jesus said to them, "While the bridegroom is with them, the attendants of the bridegroom cannot fast, can they? So long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

nasb@Mark:2:20" @But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.

nasb@Mark:2:21" @No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear results.

nasb@Mark:2:23 @And it happened that He was passing through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples began to make their way along while picking the heads of grain.

nasb@Mark:2:24 @The Pharisees were saying to Him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?"

nasb@Mark:2:25 @And He said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions became hungry;

nasb@Mark:2:26 @how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests, and he also gave it to those who were with him?"

nasb@Mark:2:27 @Jesus said to them, " The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.

nasb@Mark:2:28" @So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."

nasb@Mark:3:2 @They were watching Him to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him.

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

nasb@Mark:3:5 @After looking around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

nasb@Mark:3:6 @The Pharisees went out and immediately began conspiring with the Herodians against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.

nasb@Mark:3:7 @Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples; and a great multitude from Galilee followed; and also from Judea,

nasb@Mark:3:8 @and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon, a great number of people heard of all that He was doing and came to Him.

nasb@Mark:3:9 @And He told His disciples that a boat should stand ready for Him because of the crowd, so that they would not crowd Him;

nasb@Mark:3:10 @for He had healed many, with the result that all those who had afflictions pressed around Him in order to touch Him.

nasb@Mark:3:14 @And He appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach,

nasb@Mark:3:18 @and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot;

nasb@Mark:3:20 @And He came home, and the crowd gathered again, to such an extent that they could not even eat a meal.

nasb@Mark:3:23 @And He called them to Himself and began speaking to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan?

nasb@Mark:3:24" @If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

nasb@Mark:3:25" @If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

nasb@Mark:3:26" @If Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but he is finished!

nasb@Mark:3:28" @ Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter;

nasb@Mark:3:34 @Looking about at those who were sitting around Him, He said, " Behold My mother and My brothers!

nasb@Mark:4:1 @He began to teach again by the sea. And such a very large crowd gathered to Him that He got into a boat in the sea and sat down; and the whole crowd was by the sea on the land.

nasb@Mark:4:4 @as he was sowing, some seed fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate it up.

nasb@Mark:4:5" @Other seed fell on the rocky ground where it did not have much soil; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of soil.

nasb@Mark:4:12 @so that WHILE SEEING, THEY MAY SEE AND NOT PERCEIVE, AND WHILE HEARING, THEY MAY HEAR AND NOT UNDERSTAND, OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT RETURN AND BE FORGIVEN."

nasb@Mark:4:15" @These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

nasb@Mark:4:16" @In a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy;

nasb@Mark:4:17 @and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they fall away.

nasb@Mark:4:22" @ For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light.

nasb@Mark:4:24 @And He was saying to them, "Take care what you listen to. By your standard of measure it will be measured to you; and more will be given you besides.

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

nasb@Mark:4:27 @and he goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows--how, he himself does not know.

nasb@Mark:4:28" @The soil produces crops by itself; first the blade, then the head, then the mature grain in the head.

nasb@Mark:4:29" @But when the crop permits, he immediately puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."

nasb@Mark:4:30 @And He said, "How shall we picture the kingdom of God, or by what parable shall we present it?

nasb@Mark:4:31" @It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil,

nasb@Mark:4:32 @yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR can NEST UNDER ITS SHADE."

nasb@Mark:4:34 @and He did not speak to them without a parable; but He was explaining everything privately to His own disciples.

nasb@Mark:4:35 @On that day, when evening came, He said to them, "Let us go over to the other side."

nasb@Mark:4:36 @Leaving the crowd, they took Him along with them in the boat, just as He was; and other boats were with Him.

nasb@Mark:4:37 @And there arose a fierce gale of wind, and the waves were breaking over the boat so much that the boat was already filling up.

nasb@Mark:4:38 @Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him and said to Him, "Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?"

nasb@Mark:4:41 @They became very much afraid and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey HimNULL"

nasb@Mark:5:2 @When He got out of the boat, immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him,

nasb@Mark:5:7 @and shouting with a loud voice, he said, " What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!"

nasb@Mark:5:9 @And He was asking him, "What is your name?" And he said to Him, "My name is Legion; for we are many."

nasb@Mark:5:12 @The demons implored Him, saying, "Send us into the swine so that we may enter them."

nasb@Mark:5:14 @Their herdsmen ran away and reported it in the city and in the country. And the people came to see what it was that had happened.

nasb@Mark:5:18 @As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed was imploring Him that he might accompany Him.

nasb@Mark:5:19 @And He did not let him, but He said to him, " Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you."

nasb@Mark:5:20 @And he went away and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.

nasb@Mark:5:21 @When Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him; and so He stayed by the seashore.

nasb@Mark:5:22 @One of the synagogue officials named Jairus came up, and on seeing Him, fell at His feet

nasb@Mark:5:23 @and implored Him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and lay Your hands on her, so that she will get well and live."

nasb@Mark:5:26 @and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but rather had grown worse--

nasb@Mark:5:29 @Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

nasb@Mark:5:30 @Immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that the power proceeding from Him had gone forth, turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched My garments?"

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

nasb@Mark:5:36 @But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, said to the synagogue official, " Do not be afraid any longer, only believe."

nasb@Mark:5:40 @They began laughing at Him. But putting them all out, He took along the child's father and mother and His own companions, and entered the room where the child was.

nasb@Mark:5:41 @Taking the child by the hand, He said to her, "Talitha kum!" (which translated means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!").

nasb@Mark:5:42 @Immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astounded.

nasb@Mark:5:43 @And He gave them strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said that something should be given her to eat.

nasb@Mark:6:2 @When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue; and the many listeners were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to Him, and such miracles as these performed by His hands?

nasb@Mark:6:3" @Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?" And they took offense at Him.

nasb@Mark:6:4 @Jesus said to them, " A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household."

nasb@Mark:6:5 @And He could do no miracle there except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

nasb@Mark:6:6 @And He wondered at their unbelief. And He was going around the villages teaching.

nasb@Mark:6:8 @and He instructed them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a mere staff--no bread, no bag, no money in their belt--

nasb@Mark:6:11" @Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them."

nasb@Mark:6:12 @They went out and preached that men should repent.

nasb@Mark:6:14 @And King Herod heard of it, for His name had become well known; and people were saying, " John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in Him."

nasb@Mark:6:19 @Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death and could not do so;

nasb@Mark:6:20 @for Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed; but he used to enjoy listening to him.

nasb@Mark:6:21 @A strategic day came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his lords and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee;

nasb@Mark:6:22 @and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests; and the king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you want and I will give it to you."

nasb@Mark:6:23 @And he swore to her, "Whatever you ask of me, I will give it to you; up to half of my kingdom."

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

nasb@Mark:6:25 @Immediately she came in a hurry to the king and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

nasb@Mark:6:26 @And although the king was very sorry, yet because of his oaths and because of his dinner guests, he was unwilling to refuse her.

nasb@Mark:6:27 @Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded him to bring back his head. And he went and had him beheaded in the prison,

nasb@Mark:6:28 @and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

nasb@Mark:6:30 @The apostles gathered together with Jesus; and they reported to Him all that they had done and taught.

nasb@Mark:6:31 @And He said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while." (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.)

nasb@Mark:6:32 @They went away in the boat to a secluded place by themselves.

nasb@Mark:6:35 @When it was already quite late, His disciples came to Him and said, "This place is desolate and it is already quite late;

nasb@Mark:6:36 @send them away so that they may go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat."

nasb@Mark:6:37 @But He answered them, "You give them something to eat!" And they said to Him, "Shall we go and spend two hundred denarii on bread and give them something to eat?"

nasb@Mark:6:40 @They sat down in groups of hundreds and of fifties.

nasb@Mark:6:42 @They all ate and were satisfied,

nasb@Mark:6:44 @There were five thousand men who ate the loaves.

nasb@Mark:6:45 @Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side to Bethsaida, while He Himself was sending the crowd away.

nasb@Mark:6:47 @When it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land.

nasb@Mark:6:48 @Seeing them straining at the oars, for the wind was against them, at about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea; and He intended to pass by them.

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

nasb@Mark:6:50 @for they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and said to them, " Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid."

nasb@Mark:6:51 @Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly astonished,

nasb@Mark:6:53 @When they had crossed over they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.

nasb@Mark:6:54 @When they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him,

nasb@Mark:6:55 @and ran about that whole country and began to carry here and there on their pallets those who were sick, to the place they heard He was.

nasb@Mark:6:56 @Wherever He entered villages, or cities, or countryside, they were laying the sick in the market places, and imploring Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were being cured.

nasb@Mark:7:1 @The Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered around Him when they had come from Jerusalem,

nasb@Mark:7:2 @and had seen that some of His disciples were eating their bread with impure hands, that is, unwashed.

nasb@Mark:7:3 @(For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they carefully wash their hands, thus observing the traditions of the elders;

nasb@Mark:7:4 @and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they cleanse themselves; and there are many other things which they have received in order to observe, such as the washing of cups and pitchers and copper pots.)

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

nasb@Mark:7:9 @He was also saying to them, "You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.

nasb@Mark:7:10" @For Moses said, ' HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER'; and, ' HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER, IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH';

nasb@Mark:7:11 @but you say, 'If a man says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is to say, given to God),'

nasb@Mark:7:12 @you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother;

nasb@Mark:7:13 @thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that."

nasb@Mark:7:15 @there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man.

nasb@Mark:7:18 @And He said to them, "Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him,

nasb@Mark:7:19 @because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?" (Thus He declared all foods clean.)

nasb@Mark:7:20 @And He was saying, " That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man.

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

nasb@Mark:7:25 @But after hearing of Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at His feet.

nasb@Mark:7:27 @And He was saying to her, "Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

nasb@Mark:7:34 @and looking up to heaven with a deep sigh, He said to him, "Ephphatha!" that is, "Be opened!"

nasb@Mark:7:8 @In those days, when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples and said to them,

nasb@Mark:7:2" @ I feel compassion for the people because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat.

nasb@Mark:7:3" @If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from a great distance."

nasb@Mark:7:4 @And His disciples answered Him, "Where will anyone be able to find enough bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these people?"

nasb@Mark:7:8 @And they ate and were satisfied; and they picked up seven large baskets full of what was left over of the broken pieces.

nasb@Mark:7:10 @And immediately He entered the boat with His disciples and came to the district of Dalmanutha.

nasb@Mark:7:12 @Sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, "Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation."

nasb@Mark:7:14 @And they had forgotten to take bread, and did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.

nasb@Mark:7:15 @And He was giving orders to them, saying, " Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."

nasb@Mark:7:16 @They began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread.

nasb@Mark:7:17 @And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet see or understand? Do you have a hardened heart?

nasb@Mark:7:27 @Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, "Who do people say that I am?"

nasb@Mark:7:29 @And He continued by questioning them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered and said to Him, "You are the Christ."

nasb@Mark:7:31 @And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

nasb@Mark:7:32 @And He was stating the matter plainly. And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.

nasb@Mark:7:33 @But turning around and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind Me, Satan; for you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but man's."

nasb@Mark:7:36" @For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?

nasb@Mark:7:37" @For what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

nasb@Mark:7:38" @For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."

nasb@Mark:8:1 @And Jesus was saying to them, " Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power."

nasb@Mark:8:2 @Six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John, and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them;

nasb@Mark:8:6 @For he did not know what to answer; for they became terrified.

nasb@Mark:8:8 @All at once they looked around and saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.

nasb@Mark:8:9 @As they were coming down from the mountain, He gave them orders not to relate to anyone what they had seen, until the Son of Man rose from the dead.

nasb@Mark:8:10 @They seized upon that statement, discussing with one another what rising from the dead meant.

nasb@Mark:8:11 @They asked Him, saying, "Why is it that the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

nasb@Mark:8:12 @And He said to them, "Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

nasb@Mark:8:13" @But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him."

nasb@Mark:8:15 @Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Him, they were amazed and began running up to greet Him.

nasb@Mark:8:16 @And He asked them, "What are you discussing with them?"

nasb@Mark:8:18 @and whenever it seizes him, it slams him to the ground and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth and stiffens out. I told Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not do it."

nasb@Mark:8:19 @And He answered them and said, "O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!"

nasb@Mark:8:20 @They brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him, immediately the spirit threw him into a convulsion, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth.

nasb@Mark:8:21 @And He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood.

nasb@Mark:8:22" @It has often thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!"

nasb@Mark:8:24 @Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, "I do believe; help my unbelief."

nasb@Mark:8:25 @When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again."

nasb@Mark:8:26 @After crying out and throwing him into terrible convulsions, it came out; and the boy became so much like a corpse that most of them said, "He is dead!"

nasb@Mark:8:28 @When He came into the house, His disciples began questioning Him privately, "Why could we not drive it out?"

nasb@Mark:8:31 @For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, " The Son of Man is to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days later."

nasb@Mark:8:32 @But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him.

nasb@Mark:8:33 @They came to Capernaum; and when He was in the house, He began to question them, "What were you discussing on the way?"

nasb@Mark:8:34 @But they kept silent, for on the way they had discussed with one another which of them was the greatest.

nasb@Mark:8:41" @For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.

nasb@Mark:8:50" @Salt is good; but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you make it salty againNULL Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

nasb@Mark:9:1 @Getting up, He went from there to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan; crowds gathered around Him again, and, according to His custom, He once more began to teach them.

nasb@Mark:9:3 @And He answered and said to them, "What did Moses command you?"

nasb@Mark:9:4 @They said, " Moses permitted a man TO WRITE A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND SEND her AWAY."

nasb@Mark:9:6" @But from the beginning of creation, God MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE.

nasb@Mark:9:7" @ FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER,

nasb@Mark:9:9" @What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."

nasb@Mark:9:13 @And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.

nasb@Mark:9:15" @Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all."

nasb@Mark:9:17 @As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

nasb@Mark:9:19" @You know the commandments, ' DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, Do not defraud, HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.'"

nasb@Mark:9:21 @Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, "One thing you lack- go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

nasb@Mark:9:22 @But at these words he was saddened, and he went away grieving, for he was one who owned much property.

nasb@Mark:9:24 @The disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

nasb@Mark:9:27 @Looking at them, Jesus said, " With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God."

nasb@Mark:9:29 @Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel's sake,

nasb@Mark:9:30 @but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.

nasb@Mark:9:32 @They were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking on ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those who followed were fearful. And again He took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him,

nasb@Mark:9:33 @saying, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and will hand Him over to the Gentiles.

nasb@Mark:9:34" @They will mock Him and spit on Him, and scourge Him and kill Him, and three days later He will rise again."

nasb@Mark:9:35 @James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, came up to Jesus, saying, "Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You."

nasb@Mark:9:36 @And He said to them, "What do you want Me to do for you?"

nasb@Mark:9:37 @They said to Him, "Grant that we may sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory."

nasb@Mark:9:38 @But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?"

nasb@Mark:9:39 @They said to Him, "We are able." And Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized.

nasb@Mark:9:42 @Calling them to Himself, Jesus said to them, "You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority over them.

nasb@Mark:9:43" @But it is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant;

nasb@Mark:9:47 @When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

nasb@Mark:9:51 @And answering him, Jesus said, "What do you want Me to do for you?" And the blind man said to Him, " Rabboni, I want to regain my sight!"

nasb@Mark:9:52 @And Jesus said to him, "Go; your faith has made you well." Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road.

nasb@Mark:10:1 @As they approached Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples,

nasb@Mark:10:2 @and said to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

nasb@Mark:10:3" @If anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' you say, 'The Lord has need of it'; and immediately he will send it back here."

nasb@Mark:10:4 @They went away and found a colt tied at the door, outside in the street; and they untied it.

nasb@Mark:10:5 @Some of the bystanders were saying to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

nasb@Mark:10:7 @They brought the colt to Jesus and put their coats on it; and He sat on it.

nasb@Mark:10:8 @And many spread their coats in the road, and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.

nasb@Mark:10:10 @Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David; Hosanna in the highest!"

nasb@Mark:10:11 @Jesus entered Jerusalem and came into the temple; and after looking around at everything, He left for Bethany with the twelve, since it was already late.

nasb@Mark:10:13 @Seeing at a distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if perhaps He would find anything on it; and when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

nasb@Mark:10:14 @He said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" And His disciples were listening.

nasb@Mark:10:15 @Then they came to Jerusalem. And He entered the temple and began to drive out those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves;

nasb@Mark:10:18 @The chief priests and the scribes heard this, and began seeking how to destroy Him; for they were afraid of Him, for the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.

nasb@Mark:10:23" @ Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him.

nasb@Mark:10:24" @Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.

nasb@Mark:10:25" @Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.

nasb@Mark:10:26 @[" But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your transgressions."]

nasb@Mark:10:28 @and began saying to Him, "By what authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority to do these things?"

nasb@Mark:10:29 @And Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question, and you answer Me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

nasb@Mark:10:33 @Answering Jesus, they said, "We do not know." And Jesus said to them, "Nor will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

nasb@Mark:10:12 @And He began to speak to them in parables- " A man PLANTED A VINEYARD AND PUT A WALL AROUND IT, AND DUG A VAT UNDER THE WINE PRESS AND BUILT A TOWER, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.

nasb@Mark:10:2" @At the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, in order to receive some of the produce of the vineyard from the vine-growers.

nasb@Mark:10:3" @They took him, and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

nasb@Mark:10:4" @Again he sent them another slave, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully.

nasb@Mark:10:5" @And he sent another, and that one they killed; and so with many others, beating some and killing others.

nasb@Mark:10:9" @What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vine-growers, and will give the vineyard to others.

nasb@Mark:10:12 @And they were seeking to seize Him, and yet they feared the people, for they understood that He spoke the parable against them. And so they left Him and went away.

nasb@Mark:10:13 @Then they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Him in order to trap Him in a statement.

nasb@Mark:10:14 @They came and said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are truthful and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?

nasb@Mark:10:15" @Shall we pay or shall we not pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at."

nasb@Mark:10:17 @And Jesus said to them, " Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they were amazed at Him.

nasb@Mark:10:18 @Some Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection) came to Jesus, and began questioning Him, saying,

nasb@Mark:10:19" @Teacher, Moses wrote for us that IF A MAN'S BROTHER DIES and leaves behind a wife AND LEAVES NO CHILD, HIS BROTHER SHOULD MARRY THE WIFE AND RAISE UP CHILDREN TO HIS BROTHER.

nasb@Mark:10:24 @Jesus said to them, "Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God?

nasb@Mark:10:26" @But regarding the fact that the dead rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ' I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, and the God of Jacob'?

nasb@Mark:10:27" @ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken."

nasb@Mark:10:28 @One of the scribes came and heard them arguing, and recognizing that He had answered them well, asked Him, "What commandment is the foremost of all?"

nasb@Mark:10:31" @The second is this, ' YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

nasb@Mark:10:32 @The scribe said to Him, "Right, Teacher; You have truly stated that HE IS ONE, AND THERE IS NO ONE ELSE BESIDES HIM;

nasb@Mark:10:34 @When Jesus saw that he had answered intelligently, He said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." After that, no one would venture to ask Him any more questions.

nasb@Mark:10:35 @And Jesus began to say, as He taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

nasb@Mark:10:36" @David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ' THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES BENEATH YOUR FEET."'

nasb@Mark:10:37" @David himself calls Him 'Lord'; so in what sense is He his son?" And the large crowd enjoyed listening to Him.

nasb@Mark:10:39 @and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets,

nasb@Mark:10:40 @who devour widows' houses, and for appearance's sake offer long prayers; these will receive greater condemnation."

nasb@Mark:10:41 @And He sat down opposite the treasury, and began observing how the people were putting money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large sums.

nasb@Mark:11:1 @As He was going out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, "Teacher, behold what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!"

nasb@Mark:11:2 @And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left upon another which will not be torn down."

nasb@Mark:11:3 @As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew were questioning Him privately,

nasb@Mark:11:4" @Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?"

nasb@Mark:11:5 @And Jesus began to say to them, "See to it that no one misleads you.

nasb@Mark:11:7" @When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end.

nasb@Mark:11:8" @For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

nasb@Mark:11:11" @ When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Mark:11:12" @Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.

nasb@Mark:11:13" @ You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.

nasb@Mark:11:14" @But when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.

nasb@Mark:11:16 @and the one who is in the field must not turn back to get his coat.

nasb@Mark:11:18" @But pray that it may not happen in the winter.

nasb@Mark:11:19" @For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will.

nasb@Mark:11:24" @But in those days, after that tribulation, THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT,

nasb@Mark:11:25 @AND THE STARS WILL BE FALLING from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.

nasb@Mark:11:26" @Then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN CLOUDS with great power and glory.

nasb@Mark:11:27" @And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven.

nasb@Mark:11:28" @Now learn the parable from the fig tree- when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.

nasb@Mark:11:29" @Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at the door.

nasb@Mark:11:30" @Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

nasb@Mark:11:37" @What I say to you I say to all, ' Be on the alert!'"

nasb@Mark:12:3 @While He was in Bethany at the home of Simon the leper, and reclining at the table, there came a woman with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume of pure nard; and she broke the vial and poured it over His head.

nasb@Mark:12:9" @Truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her."

nasb@Mark:12:11 @They were glad when they heard this, and promised to give him money. And he began seeking how to betray Him at an opportune time.

nasb@Mark:12:12 @On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was being sacrificed, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?"

nasb@Mark:12:13 @And He sent 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;

nasb@Mark:12:18 @As they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said, "Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me--one who is eating with Me."

nasb@Mark:12:21" @For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born."

nasb@Mark:12:22 @While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take it; this is My body."

nasb@Mark:12:34 @And He said to them, " My soul is deeply grieved to the point of death; remain here and keep watch."

nasb@Mark:12:35 @And He went a little beyond them, and fell to the ground and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour might pass Him by.

nasb@Mark:12:36 @And He was saying, " Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will."

nasb@Mark:12:37 @And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour?

nasb@Mark:12:38" @ Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

nasb@Mark:12:40 @And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.

nasb@Mark:12:64" @You have heard the blasphemy; how does it seem to you?" And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.

nasb@Mark:12:65 @Some began to spit at Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, " Prophesy!" And the officers received Him with slaps in the face.

nasb@Mark:12:68 @But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are talking about." And he went out onto the porch.

nasb@Mark:12:72 @Immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, "Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times." And he began to weep.

nasb@Mark:13:6 @Now at the feast he used to release for them any one prisoner whom they requested.

nasb@Mark:13:9 @Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"

nasb@Mark:13:10 @For he was aware that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.

nasb@Mark:13:39 @When the centurion, who was standing right in front of Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

nasb@Mark:13:42 @When evening had already come, because it was the preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

nasb@Mark:13:43 @Joseph of Arimathea came, a prominent member of the Council, who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God; and he gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

nasb@Mark:13:44 @Pilate wondered if He was dead by this time, and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He was already dead.

nasb@Mark:14:1 @When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him.

nasb@Mark:14:4 @Looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, although it was extremely large.

nasb@Mark:14:5 @Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe; and they were amazed.

nasb@Mark:14:11 @When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they refused to believe it.

nasb@Mark:14:12 @After that, He appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking along on their way to the country.

nasb@Mark:14:14 @Afterward He appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He reproached them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen.

nasb@Mark:14:15 @And He said to them, " Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

nasb@Mark:14:19 @So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

nasb@Mark:14:20 @And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.] [ And they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions. And after that, Jesus Himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.]

nasb@Luke:1:3 @it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus;

nasb@Luke:1:4 @so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.

nasb@Luke:1:8 @Now it happened that while he was performing his priestly service before God in the appointed order of his division,

nasb@Luke:1:10 @And the whole multitude of the people were in prayer outside at the hour of the incense offering.

nasb@Luke:1:14" @You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.

nasb@Luke:1:15" @For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and he will drink no wine or liquor, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit while yet in his mother's womb.

nasb@Luke:1:17" @It is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, TO TURN THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS BACK TO THE CHILDREN, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous, so as to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."

nasb@Luke:1:21 @The people were waiting for Zacharias, and were wondering at his delay in the temple.

nasb@Luke:1:22 @But when he came out, he was unable to speak to them; and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he kept making signs to them, and remained mute.

nasb@Luke:1:29 @But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was.

nasb@Luke:1:32" @He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David;

nasb@Luke:1:35 @The angel answered and said to her, " The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.

nasb@Luke:1:36" @And behold, even your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age; and she who was called barren is now in her sixth month.

nasb@Luke:1:39 @Now at this time Mary arose and went in a hurry to the hill country, to a city of Judah,

nasb@Luke:1:43" @And how has it happened to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me?

nasb@Luke:1:45" @And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord."

nasb@Luke:1:48" @For He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave; For behold, from this time on all generations will count me blessed.

nasb@Luke:1:49" @For the Mighty One has done great things for me; And holy is His name.

nasb@Luke:1:50" @ AND HIS MERCY IS UPON GENERATION AFTER GENERATION TOWARD THOSE WHO FEAR HIM.

nasb@Luke:1:51" @ He has done mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who were proud in the thoughts of their heart.

nasb@Luke:1:55 @As He spoke to our fathers, To Abraham and his descendants forever."

nasb@Luke:1:58 @Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had displayed His great mercy toward her; and they were rejoicing with her.

nasb@Luke:1:59 @And it happened that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to call him Zacharias, after his father.

nasb@Luke:1:61 @And they said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by that name."

nasb@Luke:1:62 @And they made signs to his father, as to what he wanted him called.

nasb@Luke:1:64 @And at once his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he began to speak in praise of God.

nasb@Luke:1:65 @Fear came on all those living around them; and all these matters were being talked about in all the hill country of Judea.

nasb@Luke:1:66 @All who heard them kept them in mind, saying, "What then will this child turn out to be?" For the hand of the Lord was certainly with him.

nasb@Luke:1:67 @And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying-

nasb@Luke:1:69 @And has raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of David His servant--

nasb@Luke:1:71 @Salvation FROM OUR ENEMIES, And FROM THE HAND OF ALL WHO HATE US;

nasb@Luke:1:72 @To show mercy toward our fathers, And to remember His holy covenant,

nasb@Luke:1:73 @The oath which He swore to Abraham our father,

nasb@Luke:1:74 @To grant us that we, being rescued from the hand of our enemies, Might serve Him without fear,

nasb@Luke:1:77 @To give to His people the knowledge of salvation By the forgiveness of their sins,

nasb@Luke:1:79 @TO SHINE UPON THOSE WHO SIT IN DARKNESS AND THE SHADOW OF DEATH, To guide our feet into the way of peace."

nasb@Luke:2:1 @Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth.

nasb@Luke:2:8 @In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night.

nasb@Luke:2:10 @But the angel said to them, " Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people;

nasb@Luke:2:15 @When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, "Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us."

nasb@Luke:2:17 @When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child.

nasb@Luke:2:18 @And all who heard it wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.

nasb@Luke:2:20 @The shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.

nasb@Luke:2:22 @And when the days for their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord

nasb@Luke:2:23 @(as it is written in the Law of the Lord, " EVERY firstborn MALE THAT OPENS THE WOMB SHALL BE CALLED HOLY TO THE LORD"),

nasb@Luke:2:24 @and to offer a sacrifice according to what was said in the Law of the Lord, " A PAIR OF TURTLEDOVES OR TWO YOUNG PIGEONS."

nasb@Luke:2:25 @And there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

nasb@Luke:2:26 @And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

nasb@Luke:2:30 @For my eyes have seen Your salvation,

nasb@Luke:2:32 @A LIGHT OF REVELATION TO THE GENTILES, And the glory of Your people Israel."

nasb@Luke:2:33 @And His father and mother were amazed at the things which were being said about Him.

nasb@Luke:2:35 @and a sword will pierce even your own soul--to the end that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed."

nasb@Luke:2:38 @At that very moment she came up and began giving thanks to God, and continued to speak of Him to all those who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.

nasb@Luke:2:41 @Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.

nasb@Luke:2:44 @but supposed Him to be in the caravan, and went a day's journey; and they began looking for Him among their relatives and acquaintances.

nasb@Luke:2:47 @And all who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers.

nasb@Luke:2:48 @When they saw Him, they were astonished; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, Your father and I have been anxiously looking for You."

nasb@Luke:2:49 @And He said to them, "Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father's house?"

nasb@Luke:2:50 @But they did not understand the statement which He had made to them.

nasb@Luke:2:52 @And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

nasb@Luke:3:1 @Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,

nasb@Luke:3:4 @as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, " THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, 'MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.

nasb@Luke:3:6 @AND ALL FLESH WILL SEE THE SALVATION OF GOD.'"

nasb@Luke:3:7 @So he began saying to the crowds who were going out to be baptized by him, " You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

nasb@Luke:3:8" @Therefore bear fruits in keeping with repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ' We have Abraham for our father,' for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.

nasb@Luke:3:9" @Indeed the axe is already laid at the root of the trees; so every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."

nasb@Luke:3:10 @And the crowds were questioning him, saying, " Then what shall we do?"

nasb@Luke:3:12 @And some tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?"

nasb@Luke:3:13 @And he said to them, "Collect no more than what you have been ordered to."

nasb@Luke:3:14 @Some soldiers were questioning him, saying, "And what about us, what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Do not take money from anyone by force, or accuse anyone falsely, and be content with your wages."

nasb@Luke:3:15 @Now while the people were in a state of expectation and all were wondering in their hearts about John, as to whether he was the Christ,

nasb@Luke:3:16 @John answered and said to them all, "As for me, I baptize you with water; but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the thong of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

nasb@Luke:3:17" @His winnowing fork is in His hand to thoroughly clear His threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

nasb@Luke:3:18 @So with many other exhortations he preached the gospel to the people.

nasb@Luke:3:24 @the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,

nasb@Luke:3:25 @the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Hesli, the son of Naggai,

nasb@Luke:3:26 @the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda,

nasb@Luke:3:29 @the son of Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi,

nasb@Luke:3:31 @the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David,

nasb@Luke:4:2 @for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He became hungry.

nasb@Luke:4:11 @and, ' ON their HANDS THEY WILL BEAR YOU UP, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.'"

nasb@Luke:4:13 @When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

nasb@Luke:4:16 @And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read.

nasb@Luke:4:20 @And He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him.

nasb@Luke:4:22 @And all were speaking well of Him, and wondering at the gracious words which were falling from His lips; and they were saying, " Is this not Joseph's son?"

nasb@Luke:4:23 @And He said to them, "No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, 'Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we heard was done at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.'"

nasb@Luke:4:25" @But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land;

nasb@Luke:4:26 @and yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

nasb@Luke:4:31 @And He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and He was teaching them on the Sabbath;

nasb@Luke:4:32 @and they were amazed at His teaching, for His message was with authority.

nasb@Luke:4:34" @Let us alone! What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are-- the Holy One of God!"

nasb@Luke:4:36 @And amazement came upon them all, and they began talking with one another saying, "What is this message? For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits and they come out."

nasb@Luke:4:39 @And standing over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she immediately got up and waited on them.

nasb@Luke:5:1 @Now it happened that while the crowd was pressing around Him and listening to the word of God, He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;

nasb@Luke:5:2 @and He saw two boats lying at the edge of the lake; but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.

nasb@Luke:5:3 @And He got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little way from the land. And He sat down and began teaching the people from the boat.

nasb@Luke:5:4 @When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch."

nasb@Luke:5:6 @When they had done this, they enclosed a great quantity of fish, and their nets began to break;

nasb@Luke:5:7 @so they signaled to their partners in the other boat for them to come and help them. And they came and filled both of the boats, so that they began to sink.

nasb@Luke:5:8 @But when Simon Peter saw that, he fell down at Jesus' feet, saying, "Go away from me Lord, for I am a sinful man!"

nasb@Luke:5:9 @For amazement had seized him and all his companions because of the catch of fish which they had taken;

nasb@Luke:5:10 @and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, " Do not fear, from now on you will be catching men."

nasb@Luke:5:11 @When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him.

nasb@Luke:5:13 @And He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately the leprosy left him.

nasb@Luke:5:15 @But the news about Him was spreading even farther, and large crowds were gathering to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

nasb@Luke:5:24" @But, so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,"--He said to the paralytic--"I say to you, get up, and pick up your stretcher and go home."

nasb@Luke:5:25 @Immediately he got up before them, and picked up what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

nasb@Luke:5:27 @After that He went out and noticed a tax collector named Levi sitting in the tax booth, and He said to him, "Follow Me."

nasb@Luke:5:29 @And Levi gave a big reception for Him in his house; and there was a great crowd of tax collectors and other people who were reclining at the table with them.

nasb@Luke:5:30 @The Pharisees and their scribes began grumbling at His disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?"

nasb@Luke:5:33 @And they said to Him, " The disciples of John often fast and offer prayers, the disciples of the Pharisees also do the same, but Yours eat and drink."

nasb@Luke:5:34 @And Jesus said to them, "You cannot make the attendants of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you?

nasb@Luke:5:36 @And He was also telling them a parable- "No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old garment; otherwise he will both tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.

nasb@Luke:6:1 @Now it happened that He was passing through some grainfields on a Sabbath; and His disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating the grain.

nasb@Luke:6:2 @But some of the Pharisees said, "Why do you do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?"

nasb@Luke:6:3 @And Jesus answering them said, "Have you not even read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him,

nasb@Luke:6:4 @how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the consecrated bread which is not lawful for any to eat except the priests alone, and gave it to his companions?"

nasb@Luke:6:5 @And He was saying to them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

nasb@Luke:6:6 @On another Sabbath He entered the synagogue and was teaching; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.

nasb@Luke:6:7 @The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He healed on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason to accuse Him.

nasb@Luke:6:8 @But He knew what they were thinking, and He said to the man with the withered hand, "Get up and come forward!" And he got up and came forward.

nasb@Luke:6:9 @And Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?"

nasb@Luke:6:10 @After looking around at them all, He said to him, "Stretch out your hand!" And he did so; and his hand was restored.

nasb@Luke:6:11 @But they themselves were filled with rage, and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.

nasb@Luke:6:12 @It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God.

nasb@Luke:6:15 @and Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot;

nasb@Luke:6:17 @Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was a large crowd of His disciples, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon,

nasb@Luke:6:21" @Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.

nasb@Luke:6:22" @ Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.

nasb@Luke:6:23" @Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.

nasb@Luke:6:26" @Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way.

nasb@Luke:6:27" @But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

nasb@Luke:6:28 @bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

nasb@Luke:6:29" @ Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either.

nasb@Luke:6:30" @Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.

nasb@Luke:6:31" @ Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.

nasb@Luke:6:32" @ If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

nasb@Luke:6:33" @If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

nasb@Luke:6:34" @ If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount.

nasb@Luke:6:35" @But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.

nasb@Luke:6:36" @Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

nasb@Luke:6:41" @Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

nasb@Luke:6:42" @Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.

nasb@Luke:6:44" @ For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush.

nasb@Luke:6:45" @ The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.

nasb@Luke:6:46" @ Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?

nasb@Luke:6:48 @he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.

nasb@Luke:6:49" @But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great."

nasb@Luke:7:5 @for he loves our nation and it was he who built us our synagogue."

nasb@Luke:7:9 @Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled at him, and turned and said to the crowd that was following Him, "I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith."

nasb@Luke:7:12 @Now as He approached the gate of the city, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a sizeable crowd from the city was with her.

nasb@Luke:7:15 @The dead man sat up and began to speak. And Jesus gave him back to his mother.

nasb@Luke:7:16 @Fear gripped them all, and they began glorifying God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and, "God has visited His people!"

nasb@Luke:7:21 @At that very time He cured many people of diseases and afflictions and evil spirits; and He gave sight to many who were blind.

nasb@Luke:7:22 @And He answered and said to them, "Go and report to John what you have seen and heard- the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM.

nasb@Luke:7:23" @Blessed is he who does not take offense at Me."

nasb@Luke:7:24 @When the messengers of John had left, He began to speak to the crowds about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

nasb@Luke:7:25" @But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Those who are splendidly clothed and live in luxury are found in royal palaces!

nasb@Luke:7:26" @But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one who is more than a prophet.

nasb@Luke:7:28" @I say to you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."

nasb@Luke:7:31" @To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?

nasb@Luke:7:33" @For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, 'He has a demon!'

nasb@Luke:7:34" @The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'

nasb@Luke:7:35" @Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children."

nasb@Luke:7:36 @Now one of the Pharisees was requesting Him to dine with him, and He entered the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table.

nasb@Luke:7:37 @And there was a woman in the city who was a sinner; and when she learned that He was reclining at the table in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster vial of perfume,

nasb@Luke:7:38 @and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and kept wiping them with the hair of her head, and kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume.

nasb@Luke:7:39 @Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet He would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching Him, that she is a sinner."

nasb@Luke:7:44 @Turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

nasb@Luke:7:49 @Those who were reclining at the table with Him began to say to themselves, " Who is this man who even forgives sins?"

nasb@Luke:8:3 @and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others who were contributing to their support out of their private means.

nasb@Luke:8:5" @The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell beside the road, and it was trampled under foot and the birds of the air ate it up.

nasb@Luke:8:8" @Other seed fell into the good soil, and grew up, and produced a crop a hundred times as great." As He said these things, He would call out, " He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

nasb@Luke:8:9 @His disciples began questioning Him as to what this parable meant.

nasb@Luke:8:10 @And He said, " To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that SEEING THEY MAY NOT SEE, AND HEARING THEY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND.

nasb@Luke:8:12" @Those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they will not believe and be saved.

nasb@Luke:8:13" @Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away.

nasb@Luke:8:14" @The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

nasb@Luke:8:16" @Now no one after lighting a lamp covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light.

nasb@Luke:8:17" @ For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

nasb@Luke:8:18" @So take care how you listen; for whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him."

nasb@Luke:8:22 @Now on one of those days Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, "Let us go over to the other side of the lake." So they launched out.

nasb@Luke:8:25 @And He said to them, "Where is your faith?" They were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, "Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?"

nasb@Luke:8:28 @Seeing Jesus, he cried out and fell before Him, and said in a loud voice, " What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me."

nasb@Luke:8:30 @And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, " Legion"; for many demons had entered him.

nasb@Luke:8:34 @When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran away and reported it in the city and out in the country.

nasb@Luke:8:35 @The people went out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting down at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they became frightened.

nasb@Luke:8:37 @And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes and the surrounding district asked Him to leave them, for they were gripped with great fear; and He got into a boat and returned.

nasb@Luke:8:38 @But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him that he might accompany Him; but He sent him away, saying,

nasb@Luke:8:39" @Return to your house and describe what great things God has done for you." So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

nasb@Luke:8:41 @And there came a man named Jairus, and he was an official of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus' feet, and began to implore Him to come to his house;

nasb@Luke:8:44 @came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her hemorrhage stopped.

nasb@Luke:8:46 @But Jesus said, "Someone did touch Me, for I was aware that power had gone out of Me."

nasb@Luke:8:47 @When the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling and fell down before Him, and declared in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she had been immediately healed.

nasb@Luke:8:51 @When He came to the house, He did not allow anyone to enter with Him, except Peter and John and James, and the girl's father and mother.

nasb@Luke:8:53 @And they began laughing at Him, knowing that she had died.

nasb@Luke:8:55 @And her spirit returned, and she got up immediately; and He gave orders for something to be given her to eat.

nasb@Luke:8:56 @Her parents were amazed; but He instructed them to tell no one what had happened.

nasb@Luke:9:4" @Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that city.

nasb@Luke:9:5" @And as for those who do not receive you, as you go out from that city, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them."

nasb@Luke:9:7 @Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was happening; and he was greatly perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

nasb@Luke:9:8 @and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen again.

nasb@Luke:9:10 @When the apostles returned, they gave an account to Him of all that they had done. Taking them with Him, He withdrew by Himself to a city called Bethsaida.

nasb@Luke:9:12 @Now the day was ending, and the twelve came and said to Him, "Send the crowd away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and get something to eat; for here we are in a desolate place."

nasb@Luke:9:13 @But He said to them, "You give them something to eat!" And they said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we go and buy food for all these people."

nasb@Luke:9:14 @(For there were about five thousand men.) And He said to His disciples, "Have them sit down to eat in groups of about fifty each."

nasb@Luke:9:17 @And they all ate and were satisfied; and the broken pieces which they had left over were picked up, twelve baskets full.

nasb@Luke:9:18 @And it happened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, "Who do the people say that I am?"

nasb@Luke:9:19 @They answered and said, "John the Baptist, and others say Elijah; but others, that one of the prophets of old has risen again."

nasb@Luke:9:20 @And He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" And Peter answered and said, " The Christ of God."

nasb@Luke:9:25" @For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits himself?

nasb@Luke:9:26" @ For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

nasb@Luke:9:27" @But I say to you truthfully, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God."

nasb@Luke:9:31 @who, appearing in glory, were speaking of His departure which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

nasb@Luke:9:33 @And as these were leaving Him, Peter said to Jesus, " Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles- one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah"-- not realizing what he was saying.

nasb@Luke:9:38 @And a man from the crowd shouted, saying, "Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my only boy,

nasb@Luke:9:39 @and a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly screams, and it throws him into a convulsion with foaming at the mouth; and only with difficulty does it leave him, mauling him as it leaves.

nasb@Luke:9:41 @And Jesus answered and said, "You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here."

nasb@Luke:9:42 @While he was still approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground and threw him into a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy and gave him back to his father.

nasb@Luke:9:43 @And they were all amazed at the greatness of God. But while everyone was marveling at all that He was doing, He said to His disciples,

nasb@Luke:9:45 @But they did not understand this statement, and it was concealed from them so that they would not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this statement.

nasb@Luke:9:46 @An argument started among them as to which of them might be the greatest.

nasb@Luke:9:47 @But Jesus, knowing what they were thinking in their heart, took a child and stood him by His side,

nasb@Luke:9:48 @and said to them, " Whoever receives this child in My name receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; for the one who is least among all of you, this is the one who is great."

nasb@Luke:9:55 @But He turned and rebuked them, [and said, "You do not know what kind of spirit you are of;

nasb@Luke:9:59 @And He said to another, " Follow Me." But he said, "Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father."

nasb@Luke:9:61 @Another also said, "I will follow You, Lord; but first permit me to say good-bye to those at home."

nasb@Luke:10:5" @Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'

nasb@Luke:10:7" @Stay in that house, eating and drinking what they give you; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house.

nasb@Luke:10:8" @Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you;

nasb@Luke:10:10" @But whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

nasb@Luke:10:11 @' Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.'

nasb@Luke:10:12" @I say to you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

nasb@Luke:10:18 @And He said to them, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.

nasb@Luke:10:20" @Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven."

nasb@Luke:10:21 @At that very time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I praise You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.

nasb@Luke:10:22" @ All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him."

nasb@Luke:10:23 @Turning to the disciples, He said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see,

nasb@Luke:10:24 @for I say to you, that many prophets and kings wished to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them."

nasb@Luke:10:25 @And a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

nasb@Luke:10:26 @And He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?"

nasb@Luke:10:30 @Jesus replied and said, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.

nasb@Luke:10:31" @And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

nasb@Luke:10:35" @On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.'

nasb@Luke:10:39 @She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord's feet, listening to His word.

nasb@Luke:10:40 @But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me."

nasb@Luke:11:1 @It happened that while Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples."

nasb@Luke:11:2 @And He said to them, " When you pray, say- ' Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

nasb@Luke:11:4 @'And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.'"

nasb@Luke:11:5 @Then He said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves;

nasb@Luke:11:11" @Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?

nasb@Luke:11:13" @ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?"

nasb@Luke:11:18" @If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.

nasb@Luke:11:22" @But when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away from him all his armor on which he had relied and distributes his plunder.

nasb@Luke:11:23" @ He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters.

nasb@Luke:11:24" @ When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding any, it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.'

nasb@Luke:11:26" @Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first."

nasb@Luke:11:27 @While Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, " Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed."

nasb@Luke:11:29 @As the crowds were increasing, He began to say, " This generation is a wicked generation; it seeks for a sign, and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.

nasb@Luke:11:30" @For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.

nasb@Luke:11:31" @The Queen of the South will rise up with the men of this generation at the judgment and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

nasb@Luke:11:32" @The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

nasb@Luke:11:33" @ No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar nor under a basket, but on the lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.

nasb@Luke:11:35" @Then watch out that the light in you is not darkness.

nasb@Luke:11:37 @Now when He had spoken, a Pharisee asked Him to have lunch with him; and He went in, and reclined at the table.

nasb@Luke:11:38 @When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that He had not first ceremonially washed before the meal.

nasb@Luke:11:39 @But the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and of the platter; but inside of you, you are full of robbery and wickedness.

nasb@Luke:11:41" @But give that which is within as charity, and then all things are clean for you.

nasb@Luke:11:43" @Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the respectful greetings in the market places.

nasb@Luke:11:47" @ Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and it was your fathers who killed them.

nasb@Luke:11:48" @So you are witnesses and approve the deeds of your fathers; because it was they who killed them, and you build their tombs.

nasb@Luke:11:50 @so that the blood of all the prophets, shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation,

nasb@Luke:11:51 @from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against this generation.'

nasb@Luke:11:54 @plotting against Him to catch Him in something He might say.

nasb@Luke:11:12 @Under these circumstances, after so many thousands of people had gathered together that they were stepping on one another, He began saying to His disciples first of all, " Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

nasb@Luke:11:2" @ But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

nasb@Luke:11:3" @Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops.

nasb@Luke:11:4" @I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do.

nasb@Luke:11:11" @When they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not worry about how or what you are to speak in your defense, or what you are to say;

nasb@Luke:11:12 @for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say."

nasb@Luke:11:14 @But He said to him, " Man, who appointed Me a judge or arbitrator over you?"

nasb@Luke:11:17" @And he began reasoning to himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?'

nasb@Luke:11:18" @Then he said, 'This is what I will do- I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.

nasb@Luke:11:19 @'And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry."'

nasb@Luke:11:20" @But God said to him, ' You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?'

nasb@Luke:11:22 @And He said to His disciples, " For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on.

nasb@Luke:11:26" @If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters?

nasb@Luke:11:29" @And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying.

nasb@Luke:11:30" @For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things.

nasb@Luke:11:32" @ Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.

nasb@Luke:11:36" @Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks.

nasb@Luke:11:37" @Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them.

nasb@Luke:11:38" @ Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.

nasb@Luke:11:39" @ But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

nasb@Luke:11:40" @ You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect."

nasb@Luke:11:42 @And the Lord said, " Who then is the faithful and sensible steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time?

nasb@Luke:11:43" @Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.

nasb@Luke:11:44" @Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

nasb@Luke:11:45" @But if that slave says in his heart, 'My master will be a long time in coming,' and begins to beat the slaves, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk;

nasb@Luke:11:46 @the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

nasb@Luke:11:47" @And that slave who knew his master's will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes,

nasb@Luke:11:51" @ Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division;

nasb@Luke:11:53" @They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

nasb@Luke:11:54 @And He was also saying to the crowds, " When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it turns out.

nasb@Luke:11:55" @And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, 'It will be a hot day,' and it turns out that way.

nasb@Luke:11:57" @And why do you not even on your own initiative judge what is right?

nasb@Luke:11:58" @For while you are going with your opponent to appear before the magistrate, on your way there make an effort to settle with him, so that he may not drag you before the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.

nasb@Luke:12:1 @Now on the same occasion there were some present who reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

nasb@Luke:12:2 @And Jesus said to them, " Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate?

nasb@Luke:12:4" @Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem?

nasb@Luke:12:10 @And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.

nasb@Luke:12:11 @And there was a woman who for eighteen years had had a sickness caused by a spirit; and she was bent double, and could not straighten up at all.

nasb@Luke:12:13 @And He laid His hands on her; and immediately she was made erect again and began glorifying God.

nasb@Luke:12:14 @But the synagogue official, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, began saying to the crowd in response, " There are six days in which work should be done; so come during them and get healed, and not on the Sabbath day."

nasb@Luke:12:15 @But the Lord answered him and said, "You hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead him away to water him?

nasb@Luke:12:16" @And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?"

nasb@Luke:12:17 @As He said this, all His opponents were being humiliated; and the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things being done by Him.

nasb@Luke:12:18 @So He was saying, " What is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?

nasb@Luke:12:20 @And again He said, " To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?

nasb@Luke:12:26" @Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets';

nasb@Luke:12:28" @ In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves being thrown out.

nasb@Luke:12:29" @And they will come from east and west and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

nasb@Luke:12:31 @Just at that time some Pharisees approached, saying to Him, "Go away, leave here, for Herod wants to kill You."

nasb@Luke:12:32 @And He said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I reach My goal.'

nasb@Luke:12:33" @Nevertheless I must journey on today and tomorrow and the next day; for it cannot be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.

nasb@Luke:12:34" @ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not have it!

nasb@Luke:12:35" @Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say, ' BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!'"

nasb@Luke:13:1 @It happened that when He went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching Him closely.

nasb@Luke:13:3 @And Jesus answered and spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, " Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?"

nasb@Luke:13:5 @And He said to them, " Which one of you will have a son or an ox fall into a well, and will not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?"

nasb@Luke:13:7 @And He began speaking a parable to the invited guests when He noticed how they had been picking out the places of honor at the table, saying to them,

nasb@Luke:13:10" @But when you are invited, go and recline at the last place, so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, 'Friend, move up higher'; then you will have honor in the sight of all who are at the table with you.

nasb@Luke:13:12 @And He also went on to say to the one who had invited Him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, otherwise they may also invite you in return and that will be your repayment.

nasb@Luke:13:14 @and you will be blessed, since they do not have the means to repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."

nasb@Luke:13:15 @When one of those who were reclining at the table with Him heard this, he said to Him, " Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!"

nasb@Luke:13:17 @and at the dinner hour he sent his slave to say to those who had been invited, 'Come; for everything is ready now.'

nasb@Luke:13:18" @But they all alike began to make excuses. The first one said to him, 'I have bought a piece of land and I need to go out and look at it; please consider me excused.'

nasb@Luke:13:20" @Another one said, ' I have married a wife, and for that reason I cannot come.'

nasb@Luke:13:21" @And the slave came back and reported this to his master. Then the head of the household became angry and said to his slave, 'Go out at once into the streets and lanes of the city and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.'

nasb@Luke:13:22" @And the slave said, 'Master, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.'

nasb@Luke:13:23" @And the master said to the slave, 'Go out into the highways and along the hedges, and compel them to come in, so that my house may be filled.

nasb@Luke:13:26" @ If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.

nasb@Luke:13:28" @For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it?

nasb@Luke:13:29" @Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him,

nasb@Luke:13:31" @Or what king, when he sets out to meet another king in battle, will not first sit down and consider whether he is strong enough with ten thousand men to encounter the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

nasb@Luke:13:32" @Or else, while the other is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace.

nasb@Luke:13:34" @Therefore, salt is good; but if even salt has become tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?

nasb@Luke:14:2 @Both the Pharisees and the scribes began to grumble, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them."

nasb@Luke:14:4" @ What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?

nasb@Luke:14:7" @I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

nasb@Luke:14:8" @Or what woman, if she has ten silver coins and loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?

nasb@Luke:14:12" @The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of the estate that falls to me.' So he divided his wealth between them.

nasb@Luke:14:13" @And not many days later, the younger son gathered everything together and went on a journey into a distant country, and there he squandered his estate with loose living.

nasb@Luke:14:14" @Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine occurred in that country, and he began to be impoverished.

nasb@Luke:14:15" @So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

nasb@Luke:14:16" @And he would have gladly filled his stomach with the pods that the swine were eating, and no one was giving anything to him.

nasb@Luke:14:17" @But when he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have more than enough bread, but I am dying here with hunger!

nasb@Luke:14:18 @'I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight;

nasb@Luke:14:21" @And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

nasb@Luke:14:22" @But the father said to his slaves, 'Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;

nasb@Luke:14:24 @for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.' And they began to celebrate.

nasb@Luke:14:26" @And he summoned one of the servants and began inquiring what these things could be.

nasb@Luke:14:27" @And he said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has received him back safe and sound.'

nasb@Luke:14:29" @But he answered and said to his father, 'Look! For so many years I have been serving you and I have never neglected a command of yours; and yet you have never given me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends;

nasb@Luke:14:30 @but when this son of yours came, who has devoured your wealth with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.'

nasb@Luke:14:31" @And he said to him, 'Son, you have always been with me, and all that is mine is yours.

nasb@Luke:14:32 @'But we had to celebrate and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has begun to live, and was lost and has been found.'"

nasb@Luke:14:2" @And he called him and said to him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'

nasb@Luke:14:3" @The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg.

nasb@Luke:14:4 @'I know what I shall do, so that when I am removed from the management people will welcome me into their homes.'

nasb@Luke:14:7" @Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' And he said, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'

nasb@Luke:14:8" @And his master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this age are more shrewd in relation to their own kind than the sons of light.

nasb@Luke:14:9" @And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.

nasb@Luke:14:12" @And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?

nasb@Luke:14:13" @ No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth."

nasb@Luke:14:14 @Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these things and were scoffing at Him.

nasb@Luke:14:15 @And He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God.

nasb@Luke:14:16" @ The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John; since that time the gospel of the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.

nasb@Luke:14:20" @And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores,

nasb@Luke:14:24" @And he cried out and said, ' Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.'

nasb@Luke:14:25" @But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony.

nasb@Luke:14:26 @'And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.'

nasb@Luke:14:27" @And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father's house--

nasb@Luke:14:28 @for I have five brothers--in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'

nasb@Luke:14:30" @But he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!'

nasb@Luke:14:17 @He said to His disciples, " It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come!

nasb@Luke:14:2" @ It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.

nasb@Luke:14:7" @Which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down to eat'?

nasb@Luke:14:8" @But will he not say to him, ' Prepare something for me to eat, and properly clothe yourself and serve me while I eat and drink; and afterward you may eat and drink'?

nasb@Luke:14:10" @So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.'"

nasb@Luke:14:12 @As He entered a village, ten leprous men who stood at a distance met Him;

nasb@Luke:14:15 @Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,

nasb@Luke:14:16 @and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a Samaritan.

nasb@Luke:14:25" @ But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

nasb@Luke:14:27 @they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

nasb@Luke:14:28" @It was the same as happened in the days of Lot- they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;

nasb@Luke:14:29 @but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

nasb@Luke:14:30" @It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

nasb@Luke:14:31" @On that day, the one who is on the housetop and whose goods are in the house must not go down to take them out; and likewise the one who is in the field must not turn back.

nasb@Luke:14:34" @I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left.

nasb@Luke:14:35" @ There will be two women grinding at the same place; one will be taken and the other will be left.

nasb@Luke:14:37 @And answering they said to Him, "Where, LordNULL" And He said to them, " Where the body is, there also the vultures will be gathered."

nasb@Luke:15:1 @Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart,

nasb@Luke:15:3" @There was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, 'Give me legal protection from my opponent.'

nasb@Luke:15:6 @And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge said;

nasb@Luke:15:8" @I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?"

nasb@Luke:15:9 @And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt-

nasb@Luke:15:11" @The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself- 'God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

nasb@Luke:15:12 @'I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.'

nasb@Luke:15:13" @But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!'

nasb@Luke:15:14" @I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."

nasb@Luke:15:15 @And they were bringing even their babies to Him so that He would touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they began rebuking them.

nasb@Luke:15:17" @Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all."

nasb@Luke:15:18 @A ruler questioned Him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

nasb@Luke:15:20" @You know the commandments, ' DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.'"

nasb@Luke:15:22 @When Jesus heard this, He said to him, "One thing you still lack; sell all that you possess and distribute it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

nasb@Luke:15:24 @And Jesus looked at him and said, " How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!

nasb@Luke:15:27 @But He said, " The things that are impossible with people are possible with God."

nasb@Luke:15:30 @who will not receive many times as much at this time and in the age to come, eternal life."

nasb@Luke:15:32" @ For He will be handed over to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and mistreated and spit upon,

nasb@Luke:15:34 @But the disciples understood none of these things, and the meaning of this statement was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said.

nasb@Luke:15:36 @Now hearing a crowd going by, he began to inquire what this was.

nasb@Luke:15:37 @They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

nasb@Luke:15:40 @And Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to Him; and when he came near, He questioned him,

nasb@Luke:15:41" @What do you want Me to do for you?" And he said, "Lord, I want to regain my sight!"

nasb@Luke:15:43 @Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him, glorifying God; and when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God.

nasb@Luke:16:3 @Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, and was unable because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.

nasb@Luke:16:4 @So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree in order to see Him, for He was about to pass through that way.

nasb@Luke:16:5 @When Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, "Zaccheus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."

nasb@Luke:16:9 @And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham.

nasb@Luke:16:10" @For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."

nasb@Luke:16:11 @While they were listening to these things, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because He was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.

nasb@Luke:16:14" @But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.'

nasb@Luke:16:15" @When he returned, after receiving the kingdom, he ordered that these slaves, to whom he had given the money, be called to him so that he might know what business they had done.

nasb@Luke:16:21 @for I was afraid of you, because you are an exacting man; you take up what you did not lay down and reap what you did not sow.'

nasb@Luke:16:22" @He said to him, 'By your own words I will judge you, you worthless slave. Did you know that I am an exacting man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow?

nasb@Luke:16:26" @ I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.

nasb@Luke:16:29 @When He approached Bethphage and Bethany, near the mount that is called Olivet, He sent two of the disciples,

nasb@Luke:16:30 @saying, "Go into the village ahead of you; there, as you enter, you will find a colt tied on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

nasb@Luke:16:35 @They brought it to Jesus, and they threw their coats on the colt and put Jesus on it.

nasb@Luke:16:36 @As He was going, they were spreading their coats on the road.

nasb@Luke:16:44 @and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation."

nasb@Luke:16:48 @and they could not find anything that they might do, for all the people were hanging on to every word He said.

nasb@Luke:17:2 @and they spoke, saying to Him, "Tell us by what authority You are doing these things, or who is the one who gave You this authority?"

nasb@Luke:17:6" @But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet."

nasb@Luke:17:7 @So they answered that they did not know where it came from.

nasb@Luke:17:8 @And Jesus said to them, "Nor will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

nasb@Luke:17:10" @At the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, so that they would give him some of the produce of the vineyard; but the vine-growers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

nasb@Luke:17:11" @And he proceeded to send another slave; and they beat him also and treated him shamefully and sent him away empty-handed.

nasb@Luke:17:13" @The owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.'

nasb@Luke:17:14" @But when the vine-growers saw him, they reasoned with one another, saying, 'This is the heir; let us kill him so that the inheritance will be ours.'

nasb@Luke:17:15" @So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

nasb@Luke:17:17 @But Jesus looked at them and said, "What then is this that is written- ' THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone'?

nasb@Luke:17:18" @ Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust."

nasb@Luke:17:19 @The scribes and the chief priests tried to lay hands on Him that very hour, and they feared the people; for they understood that He spoke this parable against them.

nasb@Luke:17:20 @So they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, in order that they might catch Him in some statement, so that they could deliver Him to the rule and the authority of the governor.

nasb@Luke:17:21 @They questioned Him, saying, "Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth.

nasb@Luke:17:25 @And He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

nasb@Luke:17:26 @And they were unable to catch Him in a saying in the presence of the people; and being amazed at His answer, they became silent.

nasb@Luke:17:27 @Now there came to Him some of the Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection),

nasb@Luke:17:28 @and they questioned Him, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that IF A MAN'S BROTHER DIES, having a wife, AND HE IS CHILDLESS, HIS BROTHER SHOULD MARRY THE WIFE AND RAISE UP CHILDREN TO HIS BROTHER.

nasb@Luke:17:35 @but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

nasb@Luke:17:37" @But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the burning bush, where he calls the Lord THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB.

nasb@Luke:17:41 @Then He said to them, "How is it that they say the Christ is David's son?

nasb@Luke:17:42" @For David himself says in the book of Psalms, ' THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND,

nasb@Luke:17:46" @Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love respectful greetings in the market places, and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets,

nasb@Luke:17:47 @who devour widows' houses, and for appearance's sake offer long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation."

nasb@Luke:18:4 @for they all out of their surplus put into the offering; but she out of her poverty put in all that she had to live on."

nasb@Luke:18:5 @And while some were talking about the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and votive gifts, He said,

nasb@Luke:18:6" @As for these things which you are looking at, the days will come in which there will not be left one stone upon another which will not be torn down."

nasb@Luke:18:7 @They questioned Him, saying, "Teacher, when therefore will these things happen? And what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?"

nasb@Luke:18:8 @And He said, "See to it that you are not misled; for many will come in My name, saying, ' I am He,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not go after them.

nasb@Luke:18:9" @When you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end does not follow immediately."

nasb@Luke:18:10 @Then He continued by saying to them, "Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,

nasb@Luke:18:11 @and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

nasb@Luke:18:16" @But you will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death,

nasb@Luke:18:17 @and you will be hated by all because of My name.

nasb@Luke:18:20" @But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near.

nasb@Luke:18:22 @because these are days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled.

nasb@Luke:18:23" @Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land and wrath to this people;

nasb@Luke:18:24 @and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

nasb@Luke:18:25" @There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves,

nasb@Luke:18:26 @men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

nasb@Luke:18:27" @ Then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD with power and great glory.

nasb@Luke:18:30 @as soon as they put forth leaves, you see it and know for yourselves that summer is now near.

nasb@Luke:18:31" @So you also, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near.

nasb@Luke:18:32" @Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place.

nasb@Luke:18:34" @ Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap;

nasb@Luke:18:36" @But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man."

nasb@Luke:18:37 @Now during the day He was teaching in the temple, but at evening He would go out and spend the night on the mount that is called Olivet.

nasb@Luke:19:2 @The chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might put Him to death; for they were afraid of the people.

nasb@Luke:19:3 @And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve.

nasb@Luke:19:8 @And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it."

nasb@Luke:19:10 @And He said to them, "When you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house that he enters.

nasb@Luke:19:11" @And you shall say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"'

nasb@Luke:19:14 @When the hour had come, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him.

nasb@Luke:19:15 @And He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;

nasb@Luke:19:16 @for I say to you, I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."

nasb@Luke:19:20 @And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.

nasb@Luke:19:22" @For indeed, the Son of Man is going as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!"

nasb@Luke:19:24 @And there arose also a dispute among them as to which one of them was regarded to be greatest.

nasb@Luke:19:26" @But it is not this way with you, but the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant.

nasb@Luke:19:27" @For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves.

nasb@Luke:19:29 @and just as My Father has granted Me a kingdom, I grant you

nasb@Luke:19:30 @that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

nasb@Luke:19:31" @Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat;

nasb@Luke:19:32 @but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers."

nasb@Luke:19:33 @But he said to Him, "Lord, with You I am ready to go both to prison and to death!"

nasb@Luke:19:34 @And He said, "I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me."

nasb@Luke:19:36 @And He said to them, "But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one.

nasb@Luke:19:37" @For I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me, ' AND HE WAS NUMBERED WITH TRANSGRESSORS'; for that which refers to Me has its fulfillment."

nasb@Luke:19:40 @When He arrived at the place, He said to them, " Pray that you may not enter into temptation."

nasb@Luke:19:42 @saying, "Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done."

nasb@Luke:19:44 @And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.

nasb@Luke:19:46 @and said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not enter into temptation."

nasb@Luke:19:49 @When those who were around Him saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"

nasb@Luke:19:54 @Having arrested Him, they led Him away and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but Peter was following at a distance.

nasb@Luke:19:55 @After they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting among them.

nasb@Luke:19:56 @And a servant-girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and looking intently at him, said, "This man was with Him too."

nasb@Luke:19:58 @A little later, another saw him and said, "You are one of them too!" But Peter said, "Man, I am not!"

nasb@Luke:19:60 @But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

nasb@Luke:19:61 @The Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, " Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times."

nasb@Luke:19:63 @Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking Him and beating Him,

nasb@Luke:19:69" @ But from now on THE SON OF MAN WILL BE SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND of the power OF GOD."

nasb@Luke:19:71 @Then they said, "What further need do we have of testimonyNULL For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth."

nasb@Luke:20:1 @Then the whole body of them got up and brought Him before Pilate.

nasb@Luke:20:2 @And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is Christ, a King."

nasb@Luke:20:3 @So Pilate asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered him and said, " It is as you say."

nasb@Luke:20:4 @Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, " I find no guilt in this man."

nasb@Luke:20:6 @When Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.

nasb@Luke:20:7 @And when he learned that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself also was in Jerusalem at that time.

nasb@Luke:20:9 @And he questioned Him at some length; but He answered him nothing.

nasb@Luke:20:11 @And Herod with his soldiers, after treating Him with contempt and mocking Him, dressed Him in a gorgeous robe and sent Him back to Pilate.

nasb@Luke:20:12 @Now Herod and Pilate became friends with one another that very day; for before they had been enemies with each other.

nasb@Luke:20:13 @Pilate summoned the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

nasb@Luke:20:15" @No, nor has Herod, for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing deserving death has been done by Him.

nasb@Luke:20:17 @[ Now he was obliged to release to them at the feast one prisoner.]

nasb@Luke:20:20 @Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again,

nasb@Luke:20:22 @And he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil has this man done? I have found in Him no guilt demanding death; therefore I will punish Him and release Him."

nasb@Luke:20:23 @But they were insistent, with loud voices asking that He be crucified. And their voices began to prevail.

nasb@Luke:20:24 @And Pilate pronounced sentence that their demand be granted.

nasb@Luke:20:29" @For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ' Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.'

nasb@Luke:20:31" @For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?"

nasb@Luke:20:32 @Two others also, who were criminals, were being led away to be put to death with Him.

nasb@Luke:20:34 @But Jesus was saying, " Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves.

nasb@Luke:20:35 @And the people stood by, looking on. And even the rulers were sneering at Him, saying, "He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is the Christ of God, His Chosen One."

nasb@Luke:20:39 @One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, "Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!"

nasb@Luke:20:40 @But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

nasb@Luke:20:41" @And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."

nasb@Luke:20:46 @And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, "Father, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT." Having said this, He breathed His last.

nasb@Luke:20:47 @Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began praising God, saying, "Certainly this man was innocent."

nasb@Luke:20:48 @And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, when they observed what had happened, began to return, beating their breasts.

nasb@Luke:20:49 @And all His acquaintances and the women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, seeing these things.

nasb@Luke:20:51 @(he had not consented to their plan and action), a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God;

nasb@Luke:20:52 @this man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

nasb@Luke:20:54 @It was the preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.

nasb@Luke:20:56 @Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes. And on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

nasb@Luke:21:1 @But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.

nasb@Luke:21:7 @saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."

nasb@Luke:21:12 @But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen wrappings only; and he went away to his home, marveling at what had happened.

nasb@Luke:21:13 @And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

nasb@Luke:21:17 @And He said to them, "What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?" And they stood still, looking sad.

nasb@Luke:21:19 @And He said to them, "What things?" And they said to Him, "The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people,

nasb@Luke:21:20 @and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to the sentence of death, and crucified Him.

nasb@Luke:21:21" @But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened.

nasb@Luke:21:22" @But also some women among us amazed us. When they were at the tomb early in the morning,

nasb@Luke:21:23 @and did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive.

nasb@Luke:21:25 @And He said to them, "O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

nasb@Luke:21:30 @When He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them.

nasb@Luke:21:33 @And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven and those who were with them,

nasb@Luke:21:35 @They began to relate their experiences on the road and how He was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

nasb@Luke:21:37 @But they were startled and frightened and thought that they were seeing a spirit.

nasb@Luke:21:39" @ See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have."

nasb@Luke:21:41 @While they still could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He said to them, " Have you anything here to eat?"

nasb@Luke:21:43 @and He took it and ate it before them.

nasb@Luke:21:44 @Now He said to them, " These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled."

nasb@Luke:21:46 @and He said to them, " Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day,

nasb@Luke:21:47 @and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

nasb@Luke:21:49" @And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

nasb@Luke:21:52 @And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

nasb@John:1:3 @All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.

nasb@John:1:7 @He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.

nasb@John:1:14 @And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

nasb@John:1:18 @No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.

nasb@John:1:21 @They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."

nasb@John:1:22 @Then they said to him, "Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?"

nasb@John:1:26 @John answered them saying, " I baptize in water, but among you stands One whom you do not know.

nasb@John:1:31" @I did not recognize Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing in water."

nasb@John:1:33" @I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'

nasb@John:1:34" @I myself have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God."

nasb@John:1:36 @and he looked at Jesus as He walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

nasb@John:1:38 @And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What do you seek?" They said to Him, " Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?"

nasb@John:1:39 @He said to them, "Come, and you will see." So they came and saw where He was staying; and they stayed with Him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

nasb@John:1:41 @He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which translated means Christ).

nasb@John:1:42 @He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter).

nasb@John:1:45 @Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

nasb@John:1:46 @Nathanael said to him, " Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

nasb@John:1:47 @Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!"

nasb@John:1:48 @Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

nasb@John:1:49 @Nathanael answered Him, " Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel."

nasb@John:1:50 @Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these."

nasb@John:2:4 @And Jesus said to her, " Woman, what does that have to do with us? My hour has not yet come."

nasb@John:2:5 @His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."

nasb@John:2:6 @Now there were six stone waterpots set there for the Jewish custom of purification, containing twenty or thirty gallons each.

nasb@John:2:7 @Jesus said to them, "Fill the waterpots with water." So they filled them up to the brim.

nasb@John:2:9 @When the headwaiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom,

nasb@John:2:14 @And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables.

nasb@John:2:16 @and to those who were selling the doves He said, "Take these things away; stop making My Father's house a place of business."

nasb@John:2:17 @His disciples remembered that it was written, " ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME."

nasb@John:2:18 @The Jews then said to Him, " What sign do You show us as your authority for doing these things?"

nasb@John:2:22 @So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

nasb@John:2:23 @Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing.

nasb@John:2:25 @and because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.

nasb@John:3:2 @this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, " Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him."

nasb@John:3:5 @Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

nasb@John:3:6" @ That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

nasb@John:3:7" @Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'

nasb@John:3:11" @Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony.

nasb@John:3:15 @so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.

nasb@John:3:16" @For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

nasb@John:3:17" @For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

nasb@John:3:19" @This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

nasb@John:3:20" @ For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

nasb@John:3:21" @But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God."

nasb@John:3:23 @John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people were coming and were being baptized--

nasb@John:3:25 @Therefore there arose a discussion on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purification.

nasb@John:3:28" @You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ' I am not the Christ,' but, 'I have been sent ahead of Him.'

nasb@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. So this joy of mine has been made full.

nasb@John:3:32" @What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.

nasb@John:3:33" @He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true.

nasb@John:3:35" @ The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand.

nasb@John:3:36" @He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."

nasb@John:4:1 @Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

nasb@John:4:5 @So He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph;

nasb@John:4:7 @There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink."

nasb@John:4:9 @Therefore the Samaritan woman said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

nasb@John:4:10 @Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

nasb@John:4:11 @She said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; where then do You get that living water?

nasb@John:4:12" @You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?"

nasb@John:4:13 @Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again;

nasb@John:4:14 @but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

nasb@John:4:15 @The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw."

nasb@John:4:19 @The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.

nasb@John:4:20" @ Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."

nasb@John:4:21 @Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

nasb@John:4:22" @ You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.

nasb@John:4:23" @But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.

nasb@John:4:25 @The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming ( He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us."

nasb@John:4:27 @At this point His disciples came, and they were amazed that He had been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why do You speak with her?"

nasb@John:4:28 @So the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city and said to the men,

nasb@John:4:29" @Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?"

nasb@John:4:31 @Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, " Rabbi, eat."

nasb@John:4:32 @But He said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about."

nasb@John:4:33 @So the disciples were saying to one another, "No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?"

nasb@John:4:35" @Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest.

nasb@John:4:36" @Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

nasb@John:4:38" @I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labor."

nasb@John:4:39 @From that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, " He told me all the things that I have done."

nasb@John:4:42 @and they were saying to the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world."

nasb@John:4:44 @For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

nasb@John:4:45 @So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves also went to the feast.

nasb@John:4:46 @Therefore He came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a royal official whose son was sick at Capernaum.

nasb@John:4:47 @When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and was imploring Him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

nasb@John:4:50 @Jesus said to him, " Go; your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started off.

nasb@John:4:51 @As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his son was living.

nasb@John:4:52 @So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. Then they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

nasb@John:4:53 @So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives"; and he himself believed and his whole household.

nasb@John:4:54 @This is again a second sign that Jesus performed when He had come out of Judea into Galilee.

nasb@John:5:2 @Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porticoes.

nasb@John:5:3 @In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, and withered, [ waiting for the moving of the waters;

nasb@John:5:4 @for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted.]

nasb@John:5:6 @When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, "Do you wish to get well?"

nasb@John:5:7 @The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me."

nasb@John:5:9 @Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

nasb@John:5:10 @So the Jews were saying to the man who was cured, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not permissible for you to carry your pallet."

nasb@John:5:13 @But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place.

nasb@John:5:14 @Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you."

nasb@John:5:15 @The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

nasb@John:5:16 @For this reason the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.

nasb@John:5:17 @But He answered them, "My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working."

nasb@John:5:18 @For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

nasb@John:5:19 @Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner.

nasb@John:5:20" @ For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will marvel.

nasb@John:5:21" @For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.

nasb@John:5:22" @For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son,

nasb@John:5:23 @so that all will honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

nasb@John:5:24" @Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

nasb@John:5:26" @For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself;

nasb@John:5:28" @Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice,

nasb@John:5:30" @ I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

nasb@John:5:32" @There is another who testifies of Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true.

nasb@John:5:34" @But the testimony which I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.

nasb@John:5:35" @He was the lamp that was burning and was shining and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

nasb@John:5:36" @But the testimony which I have is greater than the testimony of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish--the very works that I do--testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me.

nasb@John:5:37" @And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form.

nasb@John:5:39" @ You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;

nasb@John:5:40 @and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.

nasb@John:5:42 @but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.

nasb@John:5:43" @I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

nasb@John:5:44" @How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God?

nasb@John:5:45" @Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope.

nasb@John:6:3 @Then Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat down with His disciples.

nasb@John:6:5 @Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?"

nasb@John:6:6 @This He was saying to test him, for He Himself knew what He was intending to do.

nasb@John:6:9" @There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?"

nasb@John:6:10 @Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

nasb@John:6:11 @Jesus then took the loaves, and having given thanks, He distributed to those who were seated; likewise also of the fish as much as they wanted.

nasb@John:6:12 @When they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments so that nothing will be lost."

nasb@John:6:13 @So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

nasb@John:6:15 @So Jesus, perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone.

nasb@John:6:17 @and after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea to Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

nasb@John:6:19 @Then, when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened.

nasb@John:6:21 @So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

nasb@John:6:22 @The next day the crowd that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other small boat there, except one, and that Jesus had not entered with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples had gone away alone.

nasb@John:6:23 @There came other small boats from Tiberias near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

nasb@John:6:24 @So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the small boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

nasb@John:6:26 @Jesus answered them and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.

nasb@John:6:27" @Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal."

nasb@John:6:28 @Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?"

nasb@John:6:29 @Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."

nasb@John:6:30 @So they said to Him, " What then do You do for a sign, so that we may see, and believe You? What work do You perform?

nasb@John:6:31" @ Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ' HE GAVE THEM BREAD OUT OF HEAVEN TO EAT.'"

nasb@John:6:32 @Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven.

nasb@John:6:33" @For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."

nasb@John:6:36" @But I said to you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe.

nasb@John:6:37" @ All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.

nasb@John:6:39" @This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.

nasb@John:6:40" @For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day."

nasb@John:6:41 @Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, "I am the bread that came down out of heaven."

nasb@John:6:42 @They were saying, " Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, ' I have come down out of heaven'?"

nasb@John:6:44" @No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.

nasb@John:6:45" @It is written in the prophets, ' AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.

nasb@John:6:46" @ Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father.

nasb@John:6:49" @ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

nasb@John:6:50" @This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.

nasb@John:6:51" @ I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh."

nasb@John:6:52 @Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat?"

nasb@John:6:53 @So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.

nasb@John:6:54" @He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

nasb@John:6:56" @He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.

nasb@John:6:57" @As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.

nasb@John:6:58" @This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever."

nasb@John:6:60 @Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this said, " This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?"

nasb@John:6:61 @But Jesus, conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?

nasb@John:6:62" @What then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?

nasb@John:6:63" @ It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

nasb@John:6:64" @But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.

nasb@John:6:65 @And He was saying, "For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father."

nasb@John:6:69" @We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God."

nasb@John:7:3 @Therefore His brothers said to Him, "Leave here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples also may see Your works which You are doing.

nasb@John:7:7" @ The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil.

nasb@John:7:11 @So the Jews were seeking Him at the feast and were saying, "Where is He?"

nasb@John:7:15 @The Jews then were astonished, saying, "How has this man become learned, having never been educated?"

nasb@John:7:22" @For this reason Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.

nasb@John:7:23" @ If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?

nasb@John:7:26" @Look, He is speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to Him. The rulers do not really know that this is the Christ, do they?

nasb@John:7:35 @The Jews then said to one another, " Where does this man intend to go that we will not find Him? He is not intending to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks, is He?

nasb@John:7:36" @What is this statement that He said, ' You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come'?"

nasb@John:7:37 @Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, " If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.

nasb@John:7:38" @He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'"

nasb@John:7:42" @Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

nasb@John:7:51" @ Our Law does not judge a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?"

nasb@John:7:52 @They answered him, " You are not also from Galilee, are you? Search, and see that no prophet arises out of Galilee."

nasb@John:8:2 @Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them.

nasb@John:8:5" @Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?"

nasb@John:8:6 @They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground.

nasb@John:8:7 @But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, " He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."

nasb@John:8:16" @But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.

nasb@John:8:17" @Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true.

nasb@John:8:18" @I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me."

nasb@John:8:19 @So they were saying to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also."

nasb@John:8:24" @Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

nasb@John:8:25 @So they were saying to Him, "Who are You?" Jesus said to them, "What have I been saying to you from the beginning?

nasb@John:8:27 @They did not realize that He had been speaking to them about the Father.

nasb@John:8:28 @So Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.

nasb@John:8:29" @And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him."

nasb@John:8:33 @They answered Him, " We are Abraham's descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, 'You will become free'?"

nasb@John:8:37" @I know that you are Abraham's descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

nasb@John:8:38" @I speak the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father."

nasb@John:8:39 @They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, " If you are Abraham's children, do the deeds of Abraham.

nasb@John:8:41" @You are doing the deeds of your father." They said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father- God."

nasb@John:8:42 @Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.

nasb@John:8:43" @Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word.

nasb@John:8:44" @ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

nasb@John:8:48 @The Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

nasb@John:8:49 @Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

nasb@John:8:51" @Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death."

nasb@John:8:52 @The Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, 'If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste of death.'

nasb@John:8:53" @Surely You are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?"

nasb@John:8:54 @Jesus answered, " If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, 'He is our God';

nasb@John:8:55 @and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His word.

nasb@John:8:56" @ Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."

nasb@John:8:59 @Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple.

nasb@John:9:2 @And His disciples asked Him, " Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?"

nasb@John:9:3 @Jesus answered, "It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

nasb@John:9:6 @When He had said this, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and applied the clay to his eyes,

nasb@John:9:7 @and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent). So he went away and washed, and came back seeing.

nasb@John:9:14 @Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

nasb@John:9:16 @Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, "This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath." But others were saying, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.

nasb@John:9:17 @So they said to the blind man again, "What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?" And he said, "He is a prophet."

nasb@John:9:18 @The Jews then did not believe it of him, that he had been blind and had received sight, until they called the parents of the very one who had received his sight,

nasb@John:9:20 @His parents answered them and said, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

nasb@John:9:22 @His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.

nasb@John:9:24 @So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, " Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner."

nasb@John:9:25 @He then answered, "Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see."

nasb@John:9:26 @So they said to him, "What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?"

nasb@John:9:29" @We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where He is from."

nasb@John:9:30 @The man answered and said to them, "Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.

nasb@John:9:31" @We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.

nasb@John:9:32" @Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.

nasb@John:9:35 @Jesus heard that they had put him out, and finding him, He said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

nasb@John:9:36 @He answered, " Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?"

nasb@John:9:39 @And Jesus said, " For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind."

nasb@John:9:6 @This figure of speech Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which He had been saying to them.

nasb@John:9:10" @The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

nasb@John:9:12" @He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.

nasb@John:9:15 @even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

nasb@John:9:17" @For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again.

nasb@John:9:18" @ No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father."

nasb@John:9:22 @At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem;

nasb@John:9:24 @The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, "How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly."

nasb@John:9:25 @Jesus answered them, " I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father's name, these testify of Me.

nasb@John:9:28 @and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.

nasb@John:9:29" @ My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

nasb@John:9:30" @ I and the Father are one."

nasb@John:9:32 @Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?"

nasb@John:9:36 @do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, ' I am the Son of God'?

nasb@John:9:37" @ If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;

nasb@John:9:38 @but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father."

nasb@John:10:4 @But when Jesus heard this, He said, "This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it."

nasb@John:10:6 @So when He heard that he was sick, He then stayed two days longer in the place where He was.

nasb@John:10:11 @This He said, and after that He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep."

nasb@John:10:13 @Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was speaking of literal sleep.

nasb@John:10:15 @and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him."

nasb@John:10:16 @Therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, so that we may die with Him."

nasb@John:10:17 @So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.

nasb@John:10:20 @Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but Mary stayed at the house.

nasb@John:10:22" @Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You."

nasb@John:10:24 @Martha said to Him, " I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day."

nasb@John:10:27 @She said to Him, "Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world."

nasb@John:10:31 @Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and consoling her, when they saw that Mary got up quickly and went out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

nasb@John:10:32 @Therefore, when Mary came where Jesus was, she saw Him, and fell at His feet, saying to Him, " Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."

nasb@John:10:40 @Jesus said to her, " Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?"

nasb@John:10:41 @So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, " Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

nasb@John:10:42" @I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me."

nasb@John:10:45 @Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what He had done, believed in Him.

nasb@John:10:47 @Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and were saying, "What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs.

nasb@John:10:48" @If we let Him go on like this, all men will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."

nasb@John:10:49 @But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,

nasb@John:10:50 @nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."

nasb@John:10:51 @Now he did not say this on his own initiative, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

nasb@John:10:52 @and not for the nation only, but in order that He might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

nasb@John:10:53 @So from that day on they planned together to kill Him.

nasb@John:10:56 @So they were seeking for Jesus, and were saying to one another as they stood in the temple, "What do you think; that He will not come to the feast at all?"

nasb@John:10:57 @Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where He was, he was to report it, so that they might seize Him.

nasb@John:11:2 @So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.

nasb@John:11:6 @Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it.

nasb@John:11:7 @Therefore Jesus said, "Let her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of My burial.

nasb@John:11:9 @The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.

nasb@John:11:10 @But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also;

nasb@John:11:12 @On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

nasb@John:11:14 @Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,

nasb@John:11:15" @ FEAR NOT, DAUGHTER OF ZION; BEHOLD, YOUR KING IS COMING, SEATED ON A DONKEY'S COLT."

nasb@John:11:16 @These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things to Him.

nasb@John:11:18 @For this reason also the people went and met Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.

nasb@John:11:19 @So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are not doing any good; look, the world has gone after Him."

nasb@John:11:20 @Now there were some Greeks among those who were going up to worship at the feast;

nasb@John:11:24" @Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

nasb@John:11:25" @ He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.

nasb@John:11:26" @If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

nasb@John:11:27" @ Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ' Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this purpose I came to this hour.

nasb@John:11:28" @ Father, glorify Your name." Then a voice came out of heaven- "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."

nasb@John:11:29 @So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, " An angel has spoken to Him."

nasb@John:11:33 @But He was saying this to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die.

nasb@John:11:34 @The crowd then answered Him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; and how can You say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"

nasb@John:11:35 @So Jesus said to them, " For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

nasb@John:11:36" @While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light." These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid Himself from them.

nasb@John:11:40" @ HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HE HARDENED THEIR HEART, SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND PERCEIVE WITH THEIR HEART, AND BE CONVERTED AND I HEAL THEM."

nasb@John:11:42 @Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue;

nasb@John:11:43 @for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.

nasb@John:11:46" @ I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

nasb@John:11:48" @ He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.

nasb@John:11:49" @ For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.

nasb@John:11:50" @I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me."

nasb@John:12:1 @Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

nasb@John:12:3 @Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God,

nasb@John:12:5 @Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

nasb@John:12:7 @Jesus answered and said to him, "What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter."

nasb@John:12:10 @Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."

nasb@John:12:12 @So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

nasb@John:12:15" @For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you.

nasb@John:12:16" @Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.

nasb@John:12:18" @ I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ' HE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.'

nasb@John:12:19" @From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He.

nasb@John:12:21 @When Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me."

nasb@John:12:22 @The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know of which one He was speaking.

nasb@John:12:26 @Jesus then answered, "That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him." So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

nasb@John:12:27 @After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."

nasb@John:12:28 @Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him.

nasb@John:12:29 @For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, "Buy the things we have need of for the feast"; or else, that he should give something to the poor.

nasb@John:12:30 @So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and it was night.

nasb@John:12:32 @if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.

nasb@John:12:34" @A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

nasb@John:12:35" @ By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

nasb@John:12:36 @Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?" Jesus answered, " Where I go, you cannot follow Me now; but you will follow later."

nasb@John:12:2" @In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.

nasb@John:12:3" @If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.

nasb@John:12:6 @Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

nasb@John:12:7" @ If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him."

nasb@John:12:8 @Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."

nasb@John:12:9 @Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

nasb@John:12:10" @Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.

nasb@John:12:11" @Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves.

nasb@John:12:12" @Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.

nasb@John:12:13" @ Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

nasb@John:12:16" @I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;

nasb@John:12:17 @that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

nasb@John:12:20" @ In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

nasb@John:12:21" @ He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him."

nasb@John:12:22 @Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?"

nasb@John:12:23 @Jesus answered and said to him, " If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.

nasb@John:12:24" @He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.

nasb@John:12:26" @But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

nasb@John:12:28" @ You heard that I said to you, 'I go away, and I will come to you.' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because I go to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

nasb@John:12:29" @Now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.

nasb@John:12:31 @but so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do exactly as the Father commanded Me. Get up, let us go from here.

nasb@John:12:7" @If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

nasb@John:12:8" @My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.

nasb@John:12:9" @Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.

nasb@John:12:10" @ 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.

nasb@John:12:13" @ Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.

nasb@John:12:14" @You are My friends if you do what I command you.

nasb@John:12:15" @No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.

nasb@John:12:16" @ You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.

nasb@John:12:17" @This I command you, that you love one another.

nasb@John:12:18" @ If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.

nasb@John:12:19" @If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.

nasb@John:12:20" @Remember the word that I said to you, ' A slave 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.

nasb@John:12:23" @He who hates Me hates My Father also.

nasb@John:12:24" @ If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well.

nasb@John:12:25" @But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, ' THEY HATED ME WITHOUT A CAUSE.'

nasb@John:12:26" @When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me,

nasb@John:12:2" @They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.

nasb@John:12:4" @But these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.

nasb@John:12:7" @But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

nasb@John:12:10 @and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;

nasb@John:12:13" @But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

nasb@John:12:15" @ All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.

nasb@John:12:17 @Some of His disciples then said to one another, "What is this thing He is telling 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'?"

nasb@John:12:18 @So they were saying, "What is this that He says, 'A little while'? We do not know what He is talking about."

nasb@John:12:19 @Jesus knew that they wished to question Him, and He said to them, "Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, 'A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me'?

nasb@John:12:20" @Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy.

nasb@John:12:21" @ Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.

nasb@John:12:23" @ In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.

nasb@John:12:24" @ Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

nasb@John:12:25" @These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father.

nasb@John:12:26" @ In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf;

nasb@John:12:27 @for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

nasb@John:12:28" @ I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father."

nasb@John:12:30" @Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You; by this we believe that You came from God."

nasb@John:12:32" @Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

nasb@John:12:33" @These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."

nasb@John:13:1 @Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,

nasb@John:13:2 @even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.

nasb@John:13:3" @This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

nasb@John:13:5" @Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

nasb@John:13:7" @Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;

nasb@John:13:8 @for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

nasb@John:13:10 @and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.

nasb@John:13:11" @I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are.

nasb@John:13:12" @While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

nasb@John:13:13" @But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.

nasb@John:13:14" @I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

nasb@John:13:19" @For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

nasb@John:13:21 @that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

nasb@John:13:22" @The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one;

nasb@John:13:23 @I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.

nasb@John:13:24" @Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

nasb@John:13:25" @O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me;

nasb@John:13:26 @and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."

nasb@John:14:4 @So Jesus, knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and said to them, " Whom do you seek?"

nasb@John:14:8 @Jesus answered, "I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,"

nasb@John:14:11 @So Jesus said to Peter, "Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?"

nasb@John:14:13 @and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

nasb@John:14:14 @Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.

nasb@John:14:15 @Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest,

nasb@John:14:16 @but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.

nasb@John:14:21" @Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said."

nasb@John:14:22 @When He had said this, one of the officers standing nearby struck Jesus, saying, "Is that the way You answer the high priest?"

nasb@John:14:26 @One of the slaves of the high priest, being a relative of the one whose ear Peter cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with Him?"

nasb@John:14:27 @Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.

nasb@John:14:28 @Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

nasb@John:14:29 @Therefore Pilate went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this Man?"

nasb@John:14:31 @So Pilate said to them, "Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law." The Jews said to him, "We are not permitted to put anyone to death,"

nasb@John:14:32 @to fulfill the word of Jesus which He spoke, signifying by what kind of death He was about to die.

nasb@John:14:33 @Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, " Are You the King of the Jews?"

nasb@John:14:34 @Jesus answered, "Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?"

nasb@John:14:35 @Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?"

nasb@John:14:36 @Jesus answered, " My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm."

nasb@John:14:37 @Therefore Pilate said to Him, "So You are a king?" Jesus answered, " You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."

nasb@John:14:38 @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 guilt in Him.

nasb@John:14:39" @ But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release for you the King of the Jews?"

nasb@John:15:1 @Pilate then took Jesus and scourged Him.

nasb@John:15:4 @Pilate came out again and said to them, "Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that I find no guilt in Him."

nasb@John:15:5 @Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold, the Man!"

nasb@John:15:6 @So when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out saying, "Crucify, crucify!" Pilate said to them, "Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him."

nasb@John:15:7 @The Jews answered him, " We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He made Himself out to be the Son of God."

nasb@John:15:8 @Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid;

nasb@John:15:10 @So Pilate said to Him, "You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?"

nasb@John:15:11 @Jesus answered, " You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin."

nasb@John:15:12 @As a result of this Pilate made efforts to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, " If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar."

nasb@John:15:13 @Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

nasb@John:15:14 @Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!"

nasb@John:15:15 @So they cried out, " Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."

nasb@John:15:19 @Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, " JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

nasb@John:15:20 @Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin and in Greek.

nasb@John:15:21 @So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, "Do not write, ' The King of the Jews'; but that He said, 'I am King of the Jews.'"

nasb@John:15:22 @Pilate answered, " What I have written I have written."

nasb@John:15:27 @Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" From that hour the disciple took her into his own household.

nasb@John:15:28 @After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, to fulfill the Scripture, said, " I am thirsty."

nasb@John:15:31 @Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

nasb@John:15:33 @but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

nasb@John:15:34 @But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

nasb@John:15:35 @And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.

nasb@John:15:38 @After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body.

nasb@John:15:42 @Therefore because of the Jewish day of preparation, since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

nasb@John:16:9 @For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.

nasb@John:16:12 @and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying.

nasb@John:16:14 @When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.

nasb@John:16:17 @Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'"

nasb@John:16:18 @Mary Magdalene came, announcing to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that He had said these things to her.

nasb@John:16:19 @So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, " Peace be with you."

nasb@John:16:21 @So Jesus said to them again, " Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you."

nasb@John:16:22 @And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

nasb@John:16:31 @but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.

nasb@John:17:1 @After these things Jesus manifested Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and He manifested Himself in this way.

nasb@John:17:2 @Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.

nasb@John:17:3 @Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will also come with you." They went out and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing.

nasb@John:17:4 @But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

nasb@John:17:6 @And He said to them, " Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find a catch." So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish.

nasb@John:17:7 @Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord." So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea.

nasb@John:17:8 @But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about one hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish.

nasb@John:17:12 @Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples ventured to question Him, "Who are You?" knowing that it was the Lord.

nasb@John:17:14 @This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.

nasb@John:17:15 @So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Tend My lambs."

nasb@John:17:16 @He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, " Shepherd My sheep."

nasb@John:17:17 @He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, " Tend My sheep.

nasb@John:17:19 @Now this He said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, " Follow Me!"

nasb@John:17:20 @Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had leaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?"

nasb@John:17:21 @So Peter seeing him said to Jesus, "Lord, and what about this man?"

nasb@John:17:22 @Jesus said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!"

nasb@John:17:23 @Therefore this saying went out among the brethren that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?"

nasb@John:17:24 @This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

nasb@John:17:25 @And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.

nasb@Acts:1:1 @The first account I composed, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and teach,

nasb@Acts:1:4 @Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you heard of from Me;

nasb@Acts:1:5 @for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."

nasb@Acts:1:6 @So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, "Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?"

nasb@Acts:1:7 @He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority;

nasb@Acts:1:11 @They also said, " Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven."

nasb@Acts:1:12 @Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.

nasb@Acts:1:13 @When they had entered the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying; that is, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

nasb@Acts:1:15 @At this time Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren (a gathering of about one hundred and twenty persons was there together), and said,

nasb@Acts:1:19 @And it became known to all who were living in Jerusalem; so that in their own language that field was called Hakeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)

nasb@Acts:1:20" @For it is written in the book of Psalms, ' LET HIS HOMESTEAD BE MADE DESOLATE, AND LET NO ONE DWELL IN IT'; and, ' LET ANOTHER MAN TAKE HIS OFFICE.'

nasb@Acts:1:21" @Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us--

nasb@Acts:1:22 @beginning with the baptism of John until the day that He was taken up from us--one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection."

nasb@Acts:1:23 @So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and Matthias.

nasb@Acts:1:26 @And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles.

nasb@Acts:2:5 @Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.

nasb@Acts:2:8" @And how is it that we each hear them in our own language to which we were born?

nasb@Acts:2:12 @And they all continued in amazement and great perplexity, saying to one another, "What does this mean?"

nasb@Acts:2:16 @but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel-

nasb@Acts:2:17 @' AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, 'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;

nasb@Acts:2:20 @'THE SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD, BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME.

nasb@Acts:2:21 @'AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.'

nasb@Acts:2:22" @Men of Israel, listen to these words- Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know--

nasb@Acts:2:23 @this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death.

nasb@Acts:2:24" @But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power.

nasb@Acts:2:25" @For David says of Him, ' I SAW THE LORD ALWAYS IN MY PRESENCE; FOR HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND, SO THAT I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN.

nasb@Acts:2:29" @Brethren, I may confidently say to you regarding the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

nasb@Acts:2:30" @And so, because he was a prophet and knew that GOD HAD SWORN TO HIM WITH AN OATH TO SEAT one OF HIS DESCENDANTS ON HIS THRONE,

nasb@Acts:2:31 @he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that HE WAS NEITHER ABANDONED TO HADES, NOR DID His flesh SUFFER DECAY.

nasb@Acts:2:33" @Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear.

nasb@Acts:2:34" @For it was not David who ascended into heaven, but he himself says- ' THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND,

nasb@Acts:2:36" @Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ--this Jesus whom you crucified."

nasb@Acts:2:37 @Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?"

nasb@Acts:2:40 @And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on exhorting them, saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation!"

nasb@Acts:2:41 @So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.

nasb@Acts:3:1 @Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the ninth hour, the hour of prayer.

nasb@Acts:3:2 @And a man who had been lame from his mother's womb was being carried along, whom they used to set down every day at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, in order to beg alms of those who were entering the temple.

nasb@Acts:3:4 @But Peter, along with John, fixed his gaze on him and said, "Look at us!"

nasb@Acts:3:5 @And he began to give them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

nasb@Acts:3:6 @But Peter said, "I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you- In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene--walk!"

nasb@Acts:3:7 @And seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened.

nasb@Acts:3:10 @and they were taking note of him as being the one who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple to beg alms, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

nasb@Acts:3:11 @While he was clinging to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them at the so-called portico of Solomon, full of amazement.

nasb@Acts:3:12 @But when Peter saw this, he replied to the people, "Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this, or why do you gaze at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk?

nasb@Acts:3:13" @ The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus, the one whom you delivered and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release Him.

nasb@Acts:3:15 @but put to death the Prince of life, the one whom God raised from the dead, a fact to which we are witnesses.

nasb@Acts:3:17" @And now, brethren, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your rulers did also.

nasb@Acts:3:18" @But the things which God announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that His Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.

nasb@Acts:3:19" @Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;

nasb@Acts:3:20 @and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you,

nasb@Acts:3:21 @whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.

nasb@Acts:3:23 @' And it will be that every soul that does not heed that prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.'

nasb@Acts:3:25" @It is you who are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ' AND IN YOUR SEED ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED.'

nasb@Acts:4:2 @being greatly disturbed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

nasb@Acts:4:5 @On the next day, their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem;

nasb@Acts:4:7 @When they had placed them in the center, they began to inquire, "By what power, or in what name, have you done this?"

nasb@Acts:4:10 @let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead--by this name this man stands here before you in good health.

nasb@Acts:4:12" @And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."

nasb@Acts:4:13 @Now as they observed the confidence of Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and began to recognize them as having been with Jesus.

nasb@Acts:4:16 @saying, " What shall we do with these men? For the fact that a noteworthy miracle has taken place through them is apparent to all who live in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

nasb@Acts:4:17" @But so that it will not spread any further among the people, let us warn them to speak no longer to any man in this name."

nasb@Acts:4:18 @And when they had summoned them, they commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

nasb@Acts:4:19 @But Peter and John answered and said to them, " Whether it is right in the sight of God to give heed to you rather than to God, you be the judge;

nasb@Acts:4:20 @for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard."

nasb@Acts:4:21 @When they had threatened them further, they let them go (finding no basis on which to punish them) on account of the people, because they were all glorifying God for what had happened;

nasb@Acts:4:23 @When they had been released, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

nasb@Acts:4:24 @And when they heard this, they lifted their voices to God with one accord and said, "O Lord, it is You who MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM,

nasb@Acts:4:25 @who by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David Your servant, said, ' WHY DID THE GENTILES RAGE, AND THE PEOPLES DEVISE FUTILE THINGS?

nasb@Acts:4:26 @' THE KINGS OF THE EARTH TOOK THEIR STAND, AND THE RULERS WERE GATHERED TOGETHER AGAINST THE LORD AND AGAINST HIS CHRIST.'

nasb@Acts:4:27" @For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,

nasb@Acts:4:28 @to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose predestined to occur.

nasb@Acts:4:29" @And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Your bond-servants may speak Your word with all confidence,

nasb@Acts:4:31 @And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness.

nasb@Acts:4:32 @And the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not one of them claimed that anything belonging to him was his own, but all things were common property to them.

nasb@Acts:4:33 @And with great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and abundant grace was upon them all.

nasb@Acts:4:35 @and lay them at the apostles' feet, and they would be distributed to each as any had need.

nasb@Acts:4:36 @Now Joseph, a Levite of Cyprian birth, who was also called Barnabas by the apostles (which translated means Son of Encouragement),

nasb@Acts:4:37 @and who owned a tract of land, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.

nasb@Acts:5:2 @and kept back some of the price for himself, with his wife's full knowledge, and bringing a portion of it, he laid it at the apostles' feet.

nasb@Acts:5:3 @But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land?

nasb@Acts:5:4" @While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."

nasb@Acts:5:5 @And as he heard these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last; and great fear came over all who heard of it.

nasb@Acts:5:7 @Now there elapsed an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

nasb@Acts:5:8 @And Peter responded to her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for such and such a price?" And she said, "Yes, that was the price."

nasb@Acts:5:9 @Then Peter said to her, "Why is it that you have agreed together to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well."

nasb@Acts:5:10 @And immediately she fell at his feet and breathed her last, and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

nasb@Acts:5:11 @And great fear came over the whole church, and over all who heard of these things.

nasb@Acts:5:12 @At the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were taking place among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's portico.

nasb@Acts:5:13 @But none of the rest dared to associate with them; however, the people held them in high esteem.

nasb@Acts:5:15 @to such an extent that they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on any one of them.

nasb@Acts:5:17 @But the high priest rose up, along with all his associates (that is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy.

nasb@Acts:5:19 @But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the gates of the prison, and taking them out he said,

nasb@Acts:5:21 @Upon hearing this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and began to teach. Now when the high priest and his associates came, they called the Council together, even all the Senate of the sons of Israel, and sent orders to the prison house for them to be brought.

nasb@Acts:5:23 @saying, "We found the prison house locked quite securely and the guards standing at the doors; but when we had opened up, we found no one inside."

nasb@Acts:5:24 @Now when the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed about them as to what would come of this.

nasb@Acts:5:26 @Then the captain went along with the officers and proceeded to bring them back without violence (for they were afraid of the people, that they might be stoned).

nasb@Acts:5:29 @But Peter and the apostles answered, " We must obey God rather than men.

nasb@Acts:5:30" @ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross.

nasb@Acts:5:35 @And he said to them, "Men of Israel, take care what you propose to do with these men.

nasb@Acts:5:37" @After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census and drew away some people after him; he too perished, and all those who followed him were scattered.

nasb@Acts:5:41 @So they went on their way from the presence of the Council, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for His name.

nasb@Acts:6:1 @Now at this time while the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint arose on the part of the Hellenistic Jews against the native Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily serving of food.

nasb@Acts:6:2 @So the twelve summoned the congregation of the disciples and said, "It is not desirable for us to neglect the word of God in order to serve tables.

nasb@Acts:6:3" @Therefore, brethren, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may put in charge of this task.

nasb@Acts:6:5 @The statement found approval with the whole congregation; and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch.

nasb@Acts:6:7 @The word of God kept on spreading; and the number of the disciples continued to increase greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were becoming obedient to the faith.

nasb@Acts:6:8 @And Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.

nasb@Acts:6:9 @But some men from what was called the Synagogue of the Freedmen, including both Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and some from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and argued with Stephen.

nasb@Acts:6:14 @for we have heard him say that this Nazarene, Jesus, will destroy this place and alter the customs which Moses handed down to us."

nasb@Acts:7:2 @And he said, "Hear me, brethren and fathers! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,

nasb@Acts:7:3 @and said to him, ' LEAVE YOUR COUNTRY AND YOUR RELATIVES, AND COME INTO THE LAND THAT I WILL SHOW YOU.'

nasb@Acts:7:4" @ Then he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. From there, after his father died, God had him move to this country in which you are now living.

nasb@Acts:7:5" @But He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot of ground, and yet, even when he had no child, He promised that HE WOULD GIVE IT TO HIM AS A POSSESSION, AND TO HIS DESCENDANTS AFTER HIM.

nasb@Acts:7:6" @But God spoke to this effect, that his DESCENDANTS WOULD BE ALIENS IN A FOREIGN LAND, AND THAT THEY WOULD BE ENSLAVED AND MISTREATED FOR FOUR HUNDRED YEARS.

nasb@Acts:7:7" @ 'AND WHATEVER NATION TO WHICH THEY WILL BE IN BONDAGE I MYSELF WILL JUDGE,' said God, 'AND AFTER THAT THEY WILL COME OUT AND SERVE ME IN THIS PLACE.'

nasb@Acts:7:8" @And He gave him the covenant of circumcision; and so Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.

nasb@Acts:7:9" @The patriarchs became jealous of Joseph and sold him into Egypt. Yet God was with him,

nasb@Acts:7:11" @Now a famine came over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction with it, and our fathers could find no food.

nasb@Acts:7:12" @But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers there the first time.

nasb@Acts:7:14" @Then Joseph sent word and invited Jacob his father and all his relatives to come to him, seventy-five persons in all.

nasb@Acts:7:15" @And Jacob went down to Egypt and there he and our fathers died.

nasb@Acts:7:19" @It was he who took shrewd advantage of our race and mistreated our fathers so that they would expose their infants and they would not survive.

nasb@Acts:7:20" @It was at this time that Moses was born; and he was lovely in the sight of God, and he was nurtured three months in his father's home.

nasb@Acts:7:22" @Moses was educated in all the learning of the Egyptians, and he was a man of power in words and deeds.

nasb@Acts:7:24" @And when he saw one of them being treated unjustly, he defended him and took vengeance for the oppressed by striking down the Egyptian.

nasb@Acts:7:25" @And he supposed that his brethren understood that God was granting them deliverance through him, but they did not understand.

nasb@Acts:7:29" @At this remark, MOSES FLED AND BECAME AN ALIEN IN THE LAND OF MIDIAN, where he became the father of two sons.

nasb@Acts:7:31" @When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight; and as he approached to look more closely, there came the voice of the Lord-

nasb@Acts:7:32 @' I AM THE GOD OF YOUR FATHERS, THE GOD OF ABRAHAM AND ISAAC AND JACOB.' Moses shook with fear and would not venture to look.

nasb@Acts:7:38" @This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness together with the angel who was speaking to him on Mount Sinai, and who was with our fathers; and he received living oracles to pass on to you.

nasb@Acts:7:39" @Our fathers were unwilling to be obedient to him, but repudiated him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt,

nasb@Acts:7:40 @SAYING TO AARON, 'MAKE FOR US GODS WHO WILL GO BEFORE US; FOR THIS MOSES WHO LED US OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT--WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.'

nasb@Acts:7:41" @At that time they made a calf and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of their hands.

nasb@Acts:7:42" @But God turned away and delivered them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, ' IT WAS NOT TO ME THAT YOU OFFERED VICTIMS AND SACRIFICES FORTY YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS, WAS IT, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL?

nasb@Acts:7:44" @Our fathers had the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness, just as He who spoke to Moses directed him to make it according to the pattern which he had seen.

nasb@Acts:7:45" @And having received it in their turn, our fathers brought it in with Joshua upon dispossessing the nations whom God drove out before our fathers, until the time of David.

nasb@Acts:7:46" @ David found favor in God's sight, and asked that he might find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.

nasb@Acts:7:49 @' HEAVEN IS MY THRONE, AND EARTH IS THE FOOTSTOOL OF MY FEET; WHAT KIND OF HOUSE WILL YOU BUILD FOR ME?' says the Lord, 'OR WHAT PLACE IS THERE FOR MY REPOSE?

nasb@Acts:7:51" @You men who are stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears are always resisting the Holy Spirit; you are doing just as your fathers did.

nasb@Acts:7:52" @ Which one of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? They killed those who had previously announced the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become;

nasb@Acts:7:54 @Now when they heard this, they were cut to the quick, and they began gnashing their teeth at him.

nasb@Acts:7:55 @But being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God;

nasb@Acts:7:56 @and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."

nasb@Acts:7:57 @But they cried out with a loud voice, and covered their ears and rushed at him with one impulse.

nasb@Acts:7:58 @When they had driven him out of the city, they began stoning him; and the witnesses laid aside their robes at the feet of a young man named Saul.

nasb@Acts:8:1 @Saul was in hearty agreement with putting him to death. And on that day a great persecution began against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

nasb@Acts:8:2 @Some devout men buried Stephen, and made loud lamentation over him.

nasb@Acts:8:4 @Therefore, those who had been scattered went about preaching the word.

nasb@Acts:8:6 @The crowds with one accord were giving attention to what was said by Philip, as they heard and saw the signs which he was performing.

nasb@Acts:8:8 @So there was much rejoicing in that city.

nasb@Acts:8:9 @Now there was a man named Simon, who formerly was practicing magic in the city and astonishing the people of Samaria, claiming to be someone great;

nasb@Acts:8:10 @and they all, from smallest to greatest, were giving attention to him, saying, " This man is what is called the Great Power of God."

nasb@Acts:8:11 @And they were giving him attention because he had for a long time astonished them with his magic arts.

nasb@Acts:8:13 @Even Simon himself believed; and after being baptized, he continued on with Philip, and as he observed signs and great miracles taking place, he was constantly amazed.

nasb@Acts:8:14 @Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them Peter and John,

nasb@Acts:8:15 @who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Acts:8:18 @Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was bestowed through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,

nasb@Acts:8:19 @saying, "Give this authority to me as well, so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit."

nasb@Acts:8:21" @You have no part or portion in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.

nasb@Acts:8:22" @Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray the Lord that, if possible, the intention of your heart may be forgiven you.

nasb@Acts:8:23" @For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity."

nasb@Acts:8:24 @But Simon answered and said, " Pray to the Lord for me yourselves, so that nothing of what you have said may come upon me."

nasb@Acts:8:26 @But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying, "Get up and go south to the road that descends from Jerusalem to Gaza." (This is a desert road.)

nasb@Acts:8:30 @Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"

nasb@Acts:8:33" @ IN HUMILIATION HIS JUDGMENT WAS TAKEN AWAY; WHO WILL RELATE HIS GENERATION? FOR HIS LIFE IS REMOVED FROM THE EARTH."

nasb@Acts:8:36 @As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?"

nasb@Acts:8:37 @[ And Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."]

nasb@Acts:8:38 @And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him.

nasb@Acts:8:39 @When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, but went on his way rejoicing.

nasb@Acts:8:40 @But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he kept preaching the gospel to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.

nasb@Acts:9:1 @Now Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,

nasb@Acts:9:2 @and asked for letters from him to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

nasb@Acts:9:3 @As he was traveling, it happened that he was approaching Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him;

nasb@Acts:9:6 @but get up and enter the city, and it will be told you what you must do."

nasb@Acts:9:9 @And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

nasb@Acts:9:10 @Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." And he said, "Here I am, Lord."

nasb@Acts:9:11 @And the Lord said to him, "Get up and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying,

nasb@Acts:9:12 @and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him, so that he might regain his sight."

nasb@Acts:9:13 @But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he did to Your saints at Jerusalem;

nasb@Acts:9:17 @So Ananias departed and entered the house, and after laying his hands on him said, " Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

nasb@Acts:9:18 @And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized;

nasb@Acts:9:20 @and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, "He is the Son of God."

nasb@Acts:9:22 @But Saul kept increasing in strength and confounding the Jews who lived at Damascus by proving that this Jesus is the Christ.

nasb@Acts:9:24 @but their plot became known to Saul. They were also watching the gates day and night so that they might put him to death;

nasb@Acts:9:26 @When he came to Jerusalem, he was trying to associate with the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

nasb@Acts:9:27 @But Barnabas took hold of him and brought him to the apostles and described to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had talked to him, and how at Damascus he had spoken out boldly in the name of Jesus.

nasb@Acts:9:29 @And he was talking and arguing with the Hellenistic Jews; but they were attempting to put him to death.

nasb@Acts:9:32 @Now as Peter was traveling through all those regions, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.

nasb@Acts:9:34 @Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your bed." Immediately he got up.

nasb@Acts:9:35 @And all who lived at Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

nasb@Acts:9:36 @Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translated in Greek is called Dorcas); this woman was abounding with deeds of kindness and charity which she continually did.

nasb@Acts:9:37 @And it happened at that time that she fell sick and died; and when they had washed her body, they laid it in an upper room.

nasb@Acts:9:38 @Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him, "Do not delay in coming to us."

nasb@Acts:9:39 @So Peter arose and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him into the upper room; and all the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing all the tunics and garments that Dorcas used to make while she was with them.

nasb@Acts:9:40 @But Peter sent them all out and knelt down and prayed, and turning to the body, he said, " Tabitha, arise." And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

nasb@Acts:10:1 @Now there was a man at Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian cohort,

nasb@Acts:10:4 @And fixing his gaze on him and being much alarmed, he said, "What is it, Lord?" And he said to him, "Your prayers and alms have ascended as a memorial before God.

nasb@Acts:10:5" @Now dispatch some men to Joppa and send for a man named Simon, who is also called Peter;

nasb@Acts:10:7 @When the angel who was speaking to him had left, he summoned two of his servants and a devout soldier of those who were his personal attendants,

nasb@Acts:10:10 @But he became hungry and was desiring to eat; but while they were making preparations, he fell into a trance;

nasb@Acts:10:11 @and he saw the sky opened up, and an object like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground,

nasb@Acts:10:12 @and there were in it all kinds of four-footed animals and crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the air.

nasb@Acts:10:13 @A voice came to him, "Get up, Peter, kill and eat!"

nasb@Acts:10:14 @But Peter said, "By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean."

nasb@Acts:10:15 @Again a voice came to him a second time, " What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy."

nasb@Acts:10:16 @This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into the sky.

nasb@Acts:10:17 @Now while Peter was greatly perplexed in mind as to what the vision which he had seen might be, behold, the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having asked directions for Simon's house, appeared at the gate;

nasb@Acts:10:21 @Peter went down to the men and said, "Behold, I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason for which you have come?"

nasb@Acts:10:22 @They said, "Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man well spoken of by the entire nation of the Jews, was divinely directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and hear a message from you."

nasb@Acts:10:24 @On the following day he entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

nasb@Acts:10:25 @When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell at his feet and worshiped him.

nasb@Acts:10:28 @And he said to them, "You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a man who is a Jew to associate with a foreigner or to visit him; and yet God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.

nasb@Acts:10:29" @That is why I came without even raising any objection when I was sent for. So I ask for what reason you have sent for me."

nasb@Acts:10:32 @'Therefore send to Joppa and invite Simon, who is also called Peter, to come to you; he is staying at the house of Simon the tanner by the sea.'

nasb@Acts:10:33" @So I sent for you immediately, and you have been kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here present before God to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord."

nasb@Acts:10:34 @Opening his mouth, Peter said- "I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality,

nasb@Acts:10:35 @but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him.

nasb@Acts:10:39" @We are witnesses of all the things He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also put Him to death by hanging Him on a cross.

nasb@Acts:10:40" @ God raised Him up on the third day and granted that He become visible,

nasb@Acts:10:41 @not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.

nasb@Acts:10:42" @And He ordered us to preach to the people, and solemnly to testify that this is the One who has been appointed by God as Judge of the living and the dead.

nasb@Acts:10:43" @Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins."

nasb@Acts:10:47" @ Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?"

nasb@Acts:11:1 @Now the apostles and the brethren who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

nasb@Acts:11:3 @saying, " You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them."

nasb@Acts:11:5" @ I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, an object coming down like a great sheet lowered by four corners from the sky; and it came right down to me,

nasb@Acts:11:6 @and when I had fixed my gaze on it and was observing it I saw the four-footed animals of the earth and the wild beasts and the crawling creatures and the birds of the air.

nasb@Acts:11:7" @I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Get up, Peter; kill and eat.'

nasb@Acts:11:9" @But a voice from heaven answered a second time, ' What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.'

nasb@Acts:11:11" @And behold, at that moment three men appeared at the house in which we were staying, having been sent to me from Caesarea.

nasb@Acts:11:15" @And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them just as He did upon us at the beginning.

nasb@Acts:11:16" @And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, ' John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'

nasb@Acts:11:17" @Therefore if God gave to them the same gift as He gave to us also after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God's way?"

nasb@Acts:11:18 @When they heard this, they quieted down and glorified God, saying, "Well then, God has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life."

nasb@Acts:11:19 @So then those who were scattered because of the persecution that occurred in connection with Stephen made their way to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews alone.

nasb@Acts:11:22 @The news about them reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas off to Antioch.

nasb@Acts:11:27 @Now at this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

nasb@Acts:11:28 @One of them named Agabus stood up and began to indicate by the Spirit that there would certainly be a great famine all over the world. And this took place in the reign of Claudius.

nasb@Acts:11:29 @And in the proportion that any of the disciples had means, each of them determined to send a contribution for the relief of the brethren living in Judea.

nasb@Acts:12:1 @Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to mistreat them.

nasb@Acts:12:2 @And he had James the brother of John put to death with a sword.

nasb@Acts:12:3 @When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. Now it was during the days of Unleavened Bread.

nasb@Acts:12:6 @On the very night when Herod was about to bring him forward, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards in front of the door were watching over the prison.

nasb@Acts:12:9 @And he went out and continued to follow, and he did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.

nasb@Acts:12:10 @When they had passed the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened for them by itself; and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.

nasb@Acts:12:11 @When Peter came to himself, he said, "Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent forth His angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting."

nasb@Acts:12:12 @And when he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was also called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.

nasb@Acts:12:13 @When he knocked at the door of the gate, a servant-girl named Rhoda came to answer.

nasb@Acts:12:14 @When she recognized Peter's voice, because of her joy she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter was standing in front of the gate.

nasb@Acts:12:15 @They said to her, "You are out of your mind!" But she kept insisting that it was so. They kept saying, "It is his angel."

nasb@Acts:12:18 @Now when day came, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers as to what could have become of Peter.

nasb@Acts:12:19 @When Herod had searched for him and had not found him, he examined the guards and ordered that they be led away to execution. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and was spending time there.

nasb@Acts:12:21 @On an appointed day Herod, having put on his royal apparel, took his seat on the rostrum and began delivering an address to them.

nasb@Acts:12:23 @And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.

nasb@Acts:13:1 @Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers- Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

nasb@Acts:13:8 @But Elymas the magician (for so his name is translated) was opposing them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

nasb@Acts:13:11" @Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and not see the sun for a time." And immediately a mist and a darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking those who would lead him by the hand.

nasb@Acts:13:12 @Then the proconsul believed when he saw what had happened, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.

nasb@Acts:13:14 @But going on from Perga, they arrived at Pisidian Antioch, and on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.

nasb@Acts:13:15 @After the reading of the Law and the Prophets the synagogue officials sent to them, saying, "Brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say it."

nasb@Acts:13:17" @The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out from it.

nasb@Acts:13:40" @Therefore take heed, so that the thing spoken of in the Prophets may not come upon you-

nasb@Acts:13:42 @As Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people kept begging that these things might be spoken to them the next Sabbath.

nasb@Acts:13:44 @The next Sabbath nearly the whole city assembled to hear the word of the Lord.

nasb@Acts:13:46 @Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, "It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first; since you repudiate it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles.

nasb@Acts:13:47" @For so the Lord has commanded us, ' I HAVE PLACED YOU AS A LIGHT FOR THE GENTILES, THAT YOU MAY BRING SALVATION TO THE END OF THE EARTH.'"

nasb@Acts:13:50 @But the Jews incited the devout women of prominence and the leading men of the city, and instigated a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district.

nasb@Acts:14:1 @In Iconium they entered the synagogue of the Jews together, and spoke in such a manner that a large number of people believed, both of Jews and of Greeks.

nasb@Acts:14:3 @Therefore they spent a long time there speaking boldly with reliance upon the Lord, who was testifying to the word of His grace, granting that signs and wonders be done by their hands.

nasb@Acts:14:5 @And when an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and the Jews with their rulers, to mistreat and to stone them,

nasb@Acts:14:8 @At Lystra a man was sitting who had no strength in his feet, lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked.

nasb@Acts:14:9 @This man was listening to Paul as he spoke, who, when he had fixed his gaze on him and had seen that he had faith to be made well,

nasb@Acts:14:11 @When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the Lycaonian language, " The gods have become like men and have come down to us."

nasb@Acts:14:13 @The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds.

nasb@Acts:14:15 @and saying, "Men, why are you doing these things? We are also men of the same nature as you, and preach the gospel to you that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, WHO MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM.

nasb@Acts:14:16" @In the generations gone by He permitted all the nations to go their own ways;

nasb@Acts:14:17 @and yet He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness."

nasb@Acts:14:21 @After they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch,

nasb@Acts:14:22 @strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, " Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God."

nasb@Acts:14:25 @When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

nasb@Acts:14:26 @From there they sailed to Antioch, from which they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had accomplished.

nasb@Acts:14:27 @When they had arrived and gathered the church together, they began to report all things that God had done with them and how He had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.

nasb@Acts:15:2 @And when Paul and Barnabas had great dissension and debate with them, the brethren determined that Paul and Barnabas and some others of them should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders concerning this issue.

nasb@Acts:15:3 @Therefore, being sent on their way by the church, they were passing through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and were bringing great joy to all the brethren.

nasb@Acts:15:4 @When they arrived at Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they reported all that God had done with them.

nasb@Acts:15:6 @The apostles and the elders came together to look into this matter.

nasb@Acts:15:7 @After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe.

nasb@Acts:15:10" @Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?

nasb@Acts:15:11" @But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are."

nasb@Acts:15:12 @All the people kept silent, and they were listening to Barnabas and Paul as they were relating what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.

nasb@Acts:15:14" @ Simeon has related how God first concerned Himself about taking from among the Gentiles a people for His name.

nasb@Acts:15:17 @SO THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD, AND ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,'

nasb@Acts:15:19" @Therefore it is my judgment that we do not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles,

nasb@Acts:15:20 @but that we write to them that they abstain from things contaminated by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood.

nasb@Acts:15:21" @For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath."

nasb@Acts:15:24" @Since we have heard that some of our number to whom we gave no instruction have disturbed you with their words, unsettling your souls,

nasb@Acts:15:28" @For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials-

nasb@Acts:15:29 @that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well. Farewell."

nasb@Acts:15:30 @So when they were sent away, they went down to Antioch; and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter.

nasb@Acts:15:38 @But Paul kept insisting that they should not take him along who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work.

nasb@Acts:15:39 @And there occurred such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.

nasb@Acts:16:1 @Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And a disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek,

nasb@Acts:16:3 @Paul wanted this man to go with him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

nasb@Acts:16:6 @They passed through the Phrygian and Galatian region, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;

nasb@Acts:16:10 @When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

nasb@Acts:16:13 @And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to a riverside, where we were supposing that there would be a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had assembled.

nasb@Acts:16:14 @A woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, a worshiper of God, was listening; and the Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul.

nasb@Acts:16:16 @It happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a slave-girl having a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing her masters much profit by fortune-telling.

nasb@Acts:16:17 @Following after Paul and us, she kept crying out, saying, "These men are bond-servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation."

nasb@Acts:16:18 @She continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!" And it came out at that very moment.

nasb@Acts:16:19 @But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the market place before the authorities,

nasb@Acts:16:20 @and when they had brought them to the chief magistrates, they said, "These men are throwing our city into confusion, being Jews,

nasb@Acts:16:22 @The crowd rose up together against them, and the chief magistrates tore their robes off them and proceeded to order them to be beaten with rods.

nasb@Acts:16:26 @and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened.

nasb@Acts:16:27 @When the jailer awoke and saw the prison doors opened, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

nasb@Acts:16:30 @and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

nasb@Acts:16:33 @And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household.

nasb@Acts:16:34 @And he brought them into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, having believed in God with his whole household.

nasb@Acts:16:35 @Now when day came, the chief magistrates sent their policemen, saying, "Release those men."

nasb@Acts:16:36 @And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The chief magistrates have sent to release you. Therefore come out now and go in peace."

nasb@Acts:16:37 @But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us in public without trial, men who are Romans, and have thrown us into prison; and now are they sending us away secretly? No indeed! But let them come themselves and bring us out."

nasb@Acts:16:38 @The policemen reported these words to the chief magistrates. They were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,

nasb@Acts:17:2 @And according to Paul's custom, he went to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

nasb@Acts:17:3 @explaining and giving evidence that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, " This Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is the Christ."

nasb@Acts:17:5 @But the Jews, becoming jealous and taking along some wicked men from the market place, formed a mob and set the city in an uproar; and attacking the house of Jason, they were seeking to bring them out to the people.

nasb@Acts:17:7 @and Jason has welcomed them, and they all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus."

nasb@Acts:17:10 @The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.

nasb@Acts:17:11 @Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

nasb@Acts:17:13 @But when the Jews of Thessalonica found out that the word of God had been proclaimed by Paul in Berea also, they came there as well, agitating and stirring up the crowds.

nasb@Acts:17:14 @Then immediately the brethren sent Paul out to go as far as the sea; and Silas and Timothy remained there.

nasb@Acts:17:15 @Now those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they left.

nasb@Acts:17:16 @Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was being provoked within him as he was observing the city full of idols.

nasb@Acts:17:18 @And also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him. Some were saying, "What would this idle babbler wish to say?" Others, "He seems to be a proclaimer of strange deities,"--because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.

nasb@Acts:17:19 @And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is which you are proclaiming?

nasb@Acts:17:20" @For you are bringing some strange things to our ears; so we want to know what these things mean."

nasb@Acts:17:21 @(Now all the Athenians and the strangers visiting there used to spend their time in nothing other than telling or hearing something new.)

nasb@Acts:17:22 @So Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, "Men of Athens, I observe that you are very religious in all respects.

nasb@Acts:17:23" @For while I was passing through and examining the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription, 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' Therefore what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you.

nasb@Acts:17:25 @nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things;

nasb@Acts:17:26 @and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation,

nasb@Acts:17:27 @that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;

nasb@Acts:17:29" @Being then the children of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and thought of man.

nasb@Acts:17:30" @Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent,

nasb@Acts:18:1 @After these things he left Athens and went to Corinth.

nasb@Acts:18:2 @And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, having recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. He came to them,

nasb@Acts:18:4 @And he was reasoning in the synagogue every Sabbath and trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.

nasb@Acts:18:5 @But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began devoting himself completely to the word, solemnly testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

nasb@Acts:18:10 @for I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city."

nasb@Acts:18:12 @But while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,

nasb@Acts:18:14 @But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrong or of vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to put up with you;

nasb@Acts:18:15 @but if there are questions about words and names and your own law, look after it yourselves; I am unwilling to be a judge of these matters."

nasb@Acts:18:16 @And he drove them away from the judgment seat.

nasb@Acts:18:17 @And they all took hold of Sosthenes, the leader of the synagogue, and began beating him in front of the judgment seat. But Gallio was not concerned about any of these things.

nasb@Acts:18:22 @When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to Antioch.

nasb@Acts:18:23 @And having spent some time there, he left and passed successively through the Galatian region and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

nasb@Acts:18:25 @This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, being acquainted only with the baptism of John;

nasb@Acts:18:26 @and he began to speak out boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

nasb@Acts:18:27 @And when he wanted to go across to Achaia, the brethren encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him; and when he had arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace,

nasb@Acts:18:28 @for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

nasb@Acts:19:1 @It happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples.

nasb@Acts:19:3 @And he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" And they said, " Into John's baptism."

nasb@Acts:19:4 @Paul said, " John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus."

nasb@Acts:19:10 @This took place for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

nasb@Acts:19:12 @so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out.

nasb@Acts:19:13 @But also some of the Jewish exorcists, who went from place to place, attempted to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches."

nasb@Acts:19:16 @And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaped on them and subdued all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

nasb@Acts:19:23 @About that time there occurred no small disturbance concerning the Way.

nasb@Acts:19:25 @these he gathered together with the workmen of similar trades, and said, "Men, you know that our prosperity depends upon this business.

nasb@Acts:19:26" @You see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in almost all of Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable number of people, saying that gods made with hands are no gods at all.

nasb@Acts:19:27" @Not only is there danger that this trade of ours fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be regarded as worthless and that she whom all of Asia and the world worship will even be dethroned from her magnificence."

nasb@Acts:19:28 @When they heard this and were filled with rage, they began crying out, saying, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"

nasb@Acts:19:29 @The city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, dragging along Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul's traveling companions from Macedonia.

nasb@Acts:19:31 @Also some of the Asiarchs who were friends of his sent to him and repeatedly urged him not to venture into the theater.

nasb@Acts:19:32 @So then, some were shouting one thing and some another, for the assembly was in confusion and the majority did not know for what reason they had come together.

nasb@Acts:19:34 @But when they recognized that he was a Jew, a single outcry arose from them all as they shouted for about two hours, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"

nasb@Acts:19:35 @After quieting the crowd, the town clerk said, "Men of Ephesus, what man is there after all who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of the image which fell down from heaven?

nasb@Acts:19:40" @For indeed we are in danger of being accused of a riot in connection with today's events, since there is no real cause for it, and in this connection we will be unable to account for this disorderly gathering."

nasb@Acts:20:2 @When he had gone through those districts and had given them much exhortation, he came to Greece.

nasb@Acts:20:4 @And he was accompanied by Sopater of Berea, the son of Pyrrhus, and by Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

nasb@Acts:20:5 @But these had gone on ahead and were waiting for us at Troas.

nasb@Acts:20:6 @We sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas within five days; and there we stayed seven days.

nasb@Acts:20:7 @On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.

nasb@Acts:20:8 @There were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered together.

nasb@Acts:20:11 @When he had gone back up and had broken the bread and eaten, he talked with them a long while until daybreak, and then left.

nasb@Acts:20:12 @They took away the boy alive, and were greatly comforted.

nasb@Acts:20:14 @And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.

nasb@Acts:20:16 @For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of Pentecost.

nasb@Acts:20:18 @And when they had come to him, he said to them, "You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you the whole time,

nasb@Acts:20:20 @how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly and from house to house,

nasb@Acts:20:22" @And now, behold, bound by the Spirit, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,

nasb@Acts:20:23 @except that the Holy Spirit solemnly testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

nasb@Acts:20:24" @But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God.

nasb@Acts:20:25" @And now, behold, I know that all of you, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, will no longer see my face.

nasb@Acts:20:26" @Therefore, I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.

nasb@Acts:20:29" @I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock;

nasb@Acts:20:31" @Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears.

nasb@Acts:20:34" @You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my own needs and to the men who were with me.

nasb@Acts:20:35" @In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

nasb@Acts:20:37 @And they began to weep aloud and embraced Paul, and repeatedly kissed him,

nasb@Acts:20:38 @grieving especially over the word which he had spoken, that they would not see his face again. And they were accompanying him to the ship.

nasb@Acts:21:1 @When we had parted from them and had set sail, we ran a straight course to Cos and the next day to Rhodes and from there to Patara;

nasb@Acts:21:3 @When we came in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left, we kept sailing to Syria and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload its cargo.

nasb@Acts:21:7 @When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and after greeting the brethren, we stayed with them for a day.

nasb@Acts:21:11 @And coming to us, he took Paul's belt and bound his own feet and hands, and said, "This is what the Holy Spirit says- 'In this way the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.'"

nasb@Acts:21:13 @Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but even to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."

nasb@Acts:21:19 @After he had greeted them, he began to relate one by one the things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.

nasb@Acts:21:21 @and they have been told about you, that you are teaching all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children nor to walk according to the customs.

nasb@Acts:21:22" @What, then, is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come.

nasb@Acts:21:23" @Therefore do this that we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow;

nasb@Acts:21:24 @take them and purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so that they may shave their heads; and all will know that there is nothing to the things which they have been told about you, but that you yourself also walk orderly, keeping the Law.

nasb@Acts:21:25" @But concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we wrote, having decided that they should abstain from meat sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication."

nasb@Acts:21:26 @Then Paul took the men, and the next day, purifying himself along with them, went into the temple giving notice of the completion of the days of purification, until the sacrifice was offered for each one of them.

nasb@Acts:21:29 @For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.

nasb@Acts:21:30 @Then all the city was provoked, and the people rushed together, and taking hold of Paul they dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.

nasb@Acts:21:31 @While they were seeking to kill him, a report came up to the commander of the Roman cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion.

nasb@Acts:21:32 @At once he took along some soldiers and centurions and ran down to them; and when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.

nasb@Acts:21:33 @Then the commander came up and took hold of him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains; and he began asking who he was and what he had done.

nasb@Acts:21:40 @When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, motioned to the people with his hand; and when there was a great hush, he spoke to them in the Hebrew dialect, saying,

nasb@Acts:22:1" @ Brethren and fathers, hear my defense which I now offer to you."

nasb@Acts:22:2 @And when they heard that he was addressing them in the Hebrew dialect, they became even more quiet; and he said,

nasb@Acts:22:3" @ I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated under Gamaliel, strictly according to the law of our fathers, being zealous for God just as you all are today.

nasb@Acts:22:4" @ I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and putting both men and women into prisons,

nasb@Acts:22:6" @ But it happened that as I was on my way, approaching Damascus about noontime, a very bright light suddenly flashed from heaven all around me,

nasb@Acts:22:10" @And I said, ' What shall I do, Lord?' And the Lord said to me, 'Get up and go on into Damascus, and there you will be told of all that has been appointed for you to do.'

nasb@Acts:22:11" @But since I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me and came into Damascus.

nasb@Acts:22:13 @came to me, and standing near said to me, ' Brother Saul, receive your sight!' And at that very time I looked up at him.

nasb@Acts:22:14" @And he said, ' The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will and to see the Righteous One and to hear an utterance from His mouth.

nasb@Acts:22:15 @'For you will be a witness for Him to all men of what you have seen and heard.

nasb@Acts:22:17" @It happened when I returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I fell into a trance,

nasb@Acts:22:19" @And I said, 'Lord, they themselves understand that in one synagogue after another I used to imprison and beat those who believed in You.

nasb@Acts:22:20 @'And when the blood of Your witness Stephen was being shed, I also was standing by approving, and watching out for the coats of those who were slaying him.'

nasb@Acts:22:22 @They listened to him up to this statement, and then they raised their voices and said, " Away with such a fellow from the earth, for he should not be allowed to live!"

nasb@Acts:22:24 @the commander ordered him to be brought into the barracks, stating that he should be examined by scourging so that he might find out the reason why they were shouting against him that way.

nasb@Acts:22:26 @When the centurion heard this, he went to the commander and told him, saying, "What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman."

nasb@Acts:22:29 @Therefore those who were about to examine him immediately let go of him; and the commander also was afraid when he found out that he was a Roman, and because he had put him in chains.

nasb@Acts:23:1 @Paul, looking intently at the Council, said, " Brethren, I have lived my life with a perfectly good conscience before God up to this day."

nasb@Acts:23:3 @Then Paul said to him, "God is going to strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to try me according to the Law, and in violation of the Law order me to be struck?"

nasb@Acts:23:5 @And Paul said, "I was not aware, brethren, that he was high priest; for it is written, ' YOU SHALL NOT SPEAK EVIL OF A RULER OF YOUR PEOPLE.'"

nasb@Acts:23:6 @But perceiving that one group were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, Paul began crying out in the Council, " Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees; I am on trial for the hope and resurrection of the dead!"

nasb@Acts:23:8 @For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor an angel, nor a spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.

nasb@Acts:23:9 @And there occurred a great uproar; and some of the scribes of the Pharisaic party stood up and began to argue heatedly, saying, " We find nothing wrong with this man; suppose a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?"

nasb@Acts:23:10 @And as a great dissension was developing, the commander was afraid Paul would be torn to pieces by them and ordered the troops to go down and take him away from them by force, and bring him into the barracks.

nasb@Acts:23:11 @But on the night immediately following, the Lord stood at his side and said, " Take courage; for as you have solemnly witnessed to My cause at Jerusalem, so you must witness at Rome also."

nasb@Acts:23:12 @When it was day, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves under an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.

nasb@Acts:23:14 @They came to the chief priests and the elders and said, "We have bound ourselves under a solemn oath to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.

nasb@Acts:23:15" @Now therefore, you and the Council notify the commander to bring him down to you, as though you were going to determine his case by a more thorough investigation; and we for our part are ready to slay him before he comes near the place."

nasb@Acts:23:19 @The commander took him by the hand and stepping aside, began to inquire of him privately, "What is it that you have to report to me?"

nasb@Acts:23:20 @And he said, " The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down tomorrow to the Council, as though they were going to inquire somewhat more thoroughly about him.

nasb@Acts:23:21" @So do not listen to them, for more than forty of them are lying in wait for him who have bound themselves under a curse not to eat or drink until they slay him; and now they are ready and waiting for the promise from you."

nasb@Acts:23:22 @So the commander let the young man go, instructing him, "Tell no one that you have notified me of these things."

nasb@Acts:23:27" @When this man was arrested by the Jews and was about to be slain by them, I came up to them with the troops and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

nasb@Acts:23:29 @and I found him to be accused over questions about their Law, but under no accusation deserving death or imprisonment.

nasb@Acts:23:30" @When I was informed that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, also instructing his accusers to bring charges against him before you."

nasb@Acts:23:31 @So the soldiers, in accordance with their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

nasb@Acts:23:34 @When he had read it, he asked from what province he was, and when he learned that he was from Cilicia,

nasb@Acts:24:1 @After five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders, with an attorney named Tertullus, and they brought charges to the governor against Paul.

nasb@Acts:24:2 @After Paul had been summoned, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying to the governor, "Since we have through you attained much peace, and since by your providence reforms are being carried out for this nation,

nasb@Acts:24:4" @But, that I may not weary you any further, I beg you to grant us, by your kindness, a brief hearing.

nasb@Acts:24:6" @And he even tried to desecrate the temple; and then we arrested him. [ We wanted to judge him according to our own Law.

nasb@Acts:24:8 @ordering his accusers to come before you.] By examining him yourself concerning all these matters you will be able to ascertain the things of which we accuse him."

nasb@Acts:24:9 @The Jews also joined in the attack, asserting that these things were so.

nasb@Acts:24:10 @When the governor had nodded for him to speak, Paul responded- "Knowing that for many years you have been a judge to this nation, I cheerfully make my defense,

nasb@Acts:24:11 @since you can take note of the fact that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.

nasb@Acts:24:14" @But this I admit to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect I do serve the God of our fathers, believing everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets;

nasb@Acts:24:15 @having a hope in God, which these men cherish themselves, that there shall certainly be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.

nasb@Acts:24:17" @Now after several years I came to bring alms to my nation and to present offerings;

nasb@Acts:24:19 @who ought to have been present before you and to make accusation, if they should have anything against me.

nasb@Acts:24:20" @Or else let these men themselves tell what misdeed they found when I stood before the Council,

nasb@Acts:24:21 @other than for this one statement which I shouted out while standing among them, 'For the resurrection of the dead I am on trial before you today.'"

nasb@Acts:24:24 @But some days later Felix arrived with Drusilla, his wife who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Acts:24:26 @At the same time too, he was hoping that money would be given him by Paul; therefore he also used to send for him quite often and converse with him.

nasb@Acts:25:1 @Festus then, having arrived in the province, three days later went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

nasb@Acts:25:3 @requesting a concession against Paul, that he might have him brought to Jerusalem (at the same time, setting an ambush to kill him on the way).

nasb@Acts:25:4 @Festus then answered that Paul was being kept in custody at Caesarea and that he himself was about to leave shortly.

nasb@Acts:25:6 @After he had spent not more than eight or ten days among them, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he took his seat on the tribunal and ordered Paul to be brought.

nasb@Acts:25:11" @If, then, I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is true of which these men accuse me, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar."

nasb@Acts:25:13 @Now when several days had elapsed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and paid their respects to Festus.

nasb@Acts:25:15 @and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against him, asking for a sentence of condemnation against him.

nasb@Acts:25:16" @I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to hand over any man before the accused meets his accusers face to face and has an opportunity to make his defense against the charges.

nasb@Acts:25:17" @So after they had assembled here, I did not delay, but on the next day took my seat on the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought before me.

nasb@Acts:25:20" @ Being at a loss how to investigate such matters, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there stand trial on these matters.

nasb@Acts:25:23 @So, on the next day when Agrippa came together with Bernice amid great pomp, and entered the auditorium accompanied by the commanders and the prominent men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

nasb@Acts:25:24 @Festus said, "King Agrippa, and all you gentlemen here present with us, you see this man about whom all the people of the Jews appealed to me, both at Jerusalem and here, loudly declaring that he ought not to live any longer.

nasb@Acts:25:25" @But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death; and since he himself appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.

nasb@Acts:25:26" @Yet I have nothing definite about him to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him before you all and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the investigation has taken place, I may have something to write.

nasb@Acts:25:27" @For it seems absurd to me in sending a prisoner, not to indicate also the charges against him."

nasb@Acts:25:2" @In regard to all the things of which I am accused by the Jews, I consider myself fortunate, King Agrippa, that I am about to make my defense before you today;

nasb@Acts:25:3 @especially because you are an expert in all customs and questions among the Jews; therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.

nasb@Acts:25:4" @So then, all Jews know my manner of life from my youth up, which from the beginning was spent among my own nation and at Jerusalem;

nasb@Acts:25:5 @since they have known about me for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that I lived as a Pharisee according to the strictest sect of our religion.

nasb@Acts:25:6" @And now I am standing trial for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers;

nasb@Acts:25:7 @the promise to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly serve God night and day. And for this hope, O King, I am being accused by Jews.

nasb@Acts:25:9" @So then, I thought to myself that I had to do many things hostile to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

nasb@Acts:25:10" @And this is just what I did in Jerusalem; not only did I lock up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, but also when they were being put to death I cast my vote against them.

nasb@Acts:25:11" @And as I punished them often in all the synagogues, I tried to force them to blaspheme; and being furiously enraged at them, I kept pursuing them even to foreign cities.

nasb@Acts:25:13 @at midday, O King, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining all around me and those who were journeying with me.

nasb@Acts:25:18 @to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.'

nasb@Acts:25:20 @but kept declaring both to those of Damascus first, and also at Jerusalem and then throughout all the region of Judea, and even to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds appropriate to repentance.

nasb@Acts:25:21" @For this reason some Jews seized me in the temple and tried to put me to death.

nasb@Acts:25:22" @So, having obtained help from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, stating nothing but what the Prophets and Moses said was going to take place;

nasb@Acts:25:23 @that the Christ was to suffer, and that by reason of His resurrection from the dead He would be the first to proclaim light both to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles."

nasb@Acts:25:24 @While Paul was saying this in his defense, Festus said in a loud voice, "Paul, you are out of your mind! Your great learning is driving you mad."

nasb@Acts:25:26" @For the king knows about these matters, and I speak to him also with confidence, since I am persuaded that none of these things escape his notice; for this has not been done in a corner.

nasb@Acts:25:27" @King Agrippa, do you believe the Prophets? I know that you do."

nasb@Acts:25:29 @And Paul said, "I would wish to God, that whether in a short or long time, not only you, but also all who hear me this day, might become such as I am, except for these chains."

nasb@Acts:25:31 @and when they had gone aside, they began talking to one another, saying, " This man is not doing anything worthy of death or imprisonment."

nasb@Acts:26:1 @When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan cohort named Julius.

nasb@Acts:26:3 @The next day we put in at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul with consideration and allowed him to go to his friends and receive care.

nasb@Acts:26:5 @When we had sailed through the sea along the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia.

nasb@Acts:26:10 @and said to them, "Men, I perceive that the voyage will certainly be with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives."

nasb@Acts:26:11 @But the centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul.

nasb@Acts:26:13 @When a moderate south wind came up, supposing that they had attained their purpose, they weighed anchor and began sailing along Crete, close inshore.

nasb@Acts:26:16 @Running under the shelter of a small island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get the ship's boat under control.

nasb@Acts:26:17 @After they had hoisted it up, they used supporting cables in undergirding the ship; and fearing that they might run aground on the shallows of Syrtis, they let down the sea anchor and in this way let themselves be driven along.

nasb@Acts:26:25" @Therefore, keep up your courage, men, for I believe God that it will turn out exactly as I have been told.

nasb@Acts:26:27 @But when the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven about in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors began to surmise that they were approaching some land.

nasb@Acts:26:28 @They took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and a little farther on they took another sounding and found it to be fifteen fathoms.

nasb@Acts:26:29 @Fearing that we might run aground somewhere on the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern and wished for daybreak.

nasb@Acts:26:30 @But as the sailors were trying to escape from the ship and had let down the ship's boat into the sea, on the pretense of intending to lay out anchors from the bow,

nasb@Acts:26:32 @Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship's boat and let it fall away.

nasb@Acts:26:33 @Until the day was about to dawn, Paul was encouraging them all to take some food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day that you have been constantly watching and going without eating, having taken nothing.

nasb@Acts:26:34" @Therefore I encourage you to take some food, for this is for your preservation, for not a hair from the head of any of you will perish."

nasb@Acts:26:35 @Having said this, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it and began to eat.

nasb@Acts:26:38 @When they had eaten enough, they began to lighten the ship by throwing out the wheat into the sea.

nasb@Acts:26:40 @And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea while at the same time they were loosening the ropes of the rudders; and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they were heading for the beach.

nasb@Acts:26:42 @The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim away and escape;

nasb@Acts:26:43 @but the centurion, wanting to bring Paul safely through, kept them from their intention, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land,

nasb@Acts:26:44 @and the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. And so it happened that they all were brought safely to land.

nasb@Acts:27:1 @When they had been brought safely through, then we found out that the island was called Malta.

nasb@Acts:27:2 @The natives showed us extraordinary kindness; for because of the rain that had set in and because of the cold, they kindled a fire and received us all.

nasb@Acts:27:3 @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 itself on his hand.

nasb@Acts:27:4 @When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they began saying to one another, " Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, and though he has been saved from the sea, justice has not allowed him to live."

nasb@Acts:27:5 @However he shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no harm.

nasb@Acts:27:6 @But they were expecting that he was about to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had waited a long time and had seen nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and began to say that he was a god.

nasb@Acts:27:7 @Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the leading man of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and entertained us courteously three days.

nasb@Acts:27:8 @And it happened that the father of Publius was lying in bed afflicted with recurrent fever and dysentery; and Paul went in to see him and after he had prayed, he laid his hands on him and healed him.

nasb@Acts:27:11 @At the end of three months we set sail on an Alexandrian ship which had wintered at the island, and which had the Twin Brothers for its figurehead.

nasb@Acts:27:12 @After we put in at Syracuse, we stayed there for three days.

nasb@Acts:27:13 @From there we sailed around and arrived at Rhegium, and a day later a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli.

nasb@Acts:27:17 @After three days Paul called together those who were the leading men of the Jews, and when they came together, he began saying to them, " Brethren, though I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

nasb@Acts:27:18" @And when they had examined me, they were willing to release me because there was no ground for putting me to death.

nasb@Acts:27:19" @But when the Jews objected, I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had any accusation against my nation.

nasb@Acts:27:22" @But we desire to hear from you what your views are; for concerning this sect, it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere."

nasb@Acts:27:23 @When they had set a day for Paul, they came to him at his lodging in large numbers; and he was explaining to them by solemnly testifying about the kingdom of God and trying to persuade them concerning Jesus, from both the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.

nasb@Acts:27:25 @And when they did not agree with one another, they began leaving after Paul had spoken one parting word, "The Holy Spirit rightly spoke through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers,

nasb@Acts:27:28" @Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will also listen."

nasb@Acts:27:29 @[ When he had spoken these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.]

nasb@Romans:1:7 @to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints- Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Romans:1:10 @always in my prayers making request, if perhaps now at last by the will of God I may succeed in coming to you.

nasb@Romans:1:11 @For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established;

nasb@Romans:1:12 @that is, that I may be encouraged together with you while among you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine.

nasb@Romans:1:13 @I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that often I have planned to come to you (and have been prevented so far) so that I may obtain some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.

nasb@Romans:1:14 @I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

nasb@Romans:1:16 @For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

nasb@Romans:1:18 @For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

nasb@Romans:1:19 @because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.

nasb@Romans:1:20 @For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

nasb@Romans:1:21 @For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

nasb@Romans:1:23 @and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.

nasb@Romans:1:24 @Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.

nasb@Romans:1:25 @For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

nasb@Romans:1:26 @For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,

nasb@Romans:1:27 @and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

nasb@Romans:1:30 @slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

nasb@Romans:1:32 @and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

nasb@Romans:2:1 @Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.

nasb@Romans:2:2 @And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things.

nasb@Romans:2:3 @But do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?

nasb@Romans:2:4 @Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

nasb@Romans:2:5 @But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

nasb@Romans:2:8 @but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation.

nasb@Romans:2:9 @There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek,

nasb@Romans:2:15 @in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them,

nasb@Romans:2:18 @and know His will and approve the things that are essential, being instructed out of the Law,

nasb@Romans:2:19 @and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

nasb@Romans:2:20 @a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth,

nasb@Romans:2:21 @you, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that one shall not steal, do you steal?

nasb@Romans:2:22 @You who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

nasb@Romans:2:28 @For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.

nasb@Romans:2:29 @But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.

nasb@Romans:3:1 @Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision?

nasb@Romans:3:2 @Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

nasb@Romans:3:3 @What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it?

nasb@Romans:3:4 @May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written, " THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS, AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED."

nasb@Romans:3:5 @But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? ( I am speaking in human terms.)

nasb@Romans:3:8 @And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), " Let us do evil that good may come"? Their condemnation is just.

nasb@Romans:3:9 @What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin;

nasb@Romans:3:13" @ THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE, WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING," " THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS";

nasb@Romans:3:16 @DESTRUCTION AND MISERY ARE IN THEIR PATHS,

nasb@Romans:3:17 @AND THE PATH OF PEACE THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN."

nasb@Romans:3:19 @Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God;

nasb@Romans:3:25 @whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed;

nasb@Romans:3:26 @for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

nasb@Romans:3:27 @Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

nasb@Romans:3:28 @For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.

nasb@Romans:4:1 @What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found?

nasb@Romans:4:3 @For what does the Scripture say? " ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."

nasb@Romans:4:4 @Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due.

nasb@Romans:4:11 @and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them,

nasb@Romans:4:12 @and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised.

nasb@Romans:4:13 @For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

nasb@Romans:4:15 @for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, there also is no violation.

nasb@Romans:4:16 @For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

nasb@Romans:4:17 @(as it is written, " A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS HAVE I MADE YOU") in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist.

nasb@Romans:4:18 @In hope against hope he believed, so that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, " SO SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS BE."

nasb@Romans:4:19 @Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb;

nasb@Romans:4:21 @and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.

nasb@Romans:4:23 @Now not for his sake only was it written that it was credited to him,

nasb@Romans:4:25 @He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.

nasb@Romans:5:3 @And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;

nasb@Romans:5:6 @For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

nasb@Romans:5:8 @But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

nasb@Romans:5:9 @Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.

nasb@Romans:5:10 @For if while 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.

nasb@Romans:5:11 @And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

nasb@Romans:5:12 @Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned--

nasb@Romans:5:14 @Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

nasb@Romans:5:16 @The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification.

nasb@Romans:5:17 @For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

nasb@Romans:5:18 @So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.

nasb@Romans:5:20 @The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

nasb@Romans:5:21 @so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

nasb@Romans:6:1 @What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?

nasb@Romans:6:3 @Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?

nasb@Romans:6:4 @Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.

nasb@Romans:6:5 @For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,

nasb@Romans:6:6 @knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;

nasb@Romans:6:8 @Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

nasb@Romans:6:9 @knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him.

nasb@Romans:6:10 @For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

nasb@Romans:6:12 @Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts,

nasb@Romans:6:15 @What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!

nasb@Romans:6:16 @Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?

nasb@Romans:6:17 @But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed,

nasb@Romans:6:19 @I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.

nasb@Romans:6:21 @Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death.

nasb@Romans:6:22 @But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life.

nasb@Romans:6:23 @For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

nasb@Romans:7:1 @Or do you not know, brethren (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives?

nasb@Romans:7:3 @So then, if while her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress though she is joined to another man.

nasb@Romans:7:4 @Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.

nasb@Romans:7:5 @For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the Law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death.

nasb@Romans:7:6 @But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

nasb@Romans:7:7 @What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, " YOU SHALL NOT COVET."

nasb@Romans:7:10 @and this commandment, which was to result in life, proved to result in death for me;

nasb@Romans:7:13 @Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? May it never be! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by effecting my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.

nasb@Romans:7:14 @For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin.

nasb@Romans:7:15 @For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate.

nasb@Romans:7:16 @But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good.

nasb@Romans:7:18 @For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.

nasb@Romans:7:19 @For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want.

nasb@Romans:7:21 @I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.

nasb@Romans:7:24 @Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?

nasb@Romans:8:1 @Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Romans:8:2 @For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

nasb@Romans:8:3 @For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did- sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

nasb@Romans:8:4 @so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

nasb@Romans:8:6 @For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,

nasb@Romans:8:12 @So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh--

nasb@Romans:8:13 @for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

nasb@Romans:8:15 @For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, " Abba! Father!"

nasb@Romans:8:16 @The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,

nasb@Romans:8:17 @and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

nasb@Romans:8:18 @For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

nasb@Romans:8:19 @For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.

nasb@Romans:8:20 @For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope

nasb@Romans:8:21 @that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

nasb@Romans:8:22 @For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

nasb@Romans:8:24 @For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?

nasb@Romans:8:25 @But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

nasb@Romans:8:27 @and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

nasb@Romans:8:28 @And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

nasb@Romans:8:29 @For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;

nasb@Romans:8:31 @What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

nasb@Romans:8:34 @who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

nasb@Romans:8:35 @Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

nasb@Romans:8:36 @Just as it is written, " FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED."

nasb@Romans:8:38 @For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

nasb@Romans:8:39 @nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

nasb@Romans:9:2 @that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart.

nasb@Romans:9:3 @For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

nasb@Romans:9:5 @whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

nasb@Romans:9:8 @That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.

nasb@Romans:9:9 @For this is the word of promise- " AT THIS TIME I WILL COME, AND SARAH SHALL HAVE A SON."

nasb@Romans:9:10 @And not only this, but there was Rebekah also, when she had conceived twins by one man, our father Isaac;

nasb@Romans:9:11 @for though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that God's purpose according to His choice would stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls,

nasb@Romans:9:13 @Just as it is written, " JACOB I LOVED, BUT ESAU I HATED."

nasb@Romans:9:14 @What shall we say then? There is no injustice with God, is there? May it never be!

nasb@Romans:9:17 @For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, " FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH."

nasb@Romans:9:22 @What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction?

nasb@Romans:9:26" @ AND IT SHALL BE THAT IN THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS SAID TO THEM, 'YOU ARE NOT MY PEOPLE,' THERE THEY SHALL BE CALLED SONS OF THE LIVING GOD."

nasb@Romans:9:27 @Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, " THOUGH THE NUMBER OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL BE LIKE THE SAND OF THE SEA, IT IS THE REMNANT THAT WILL BE SAVED;

nasb@Romans:9:30 @What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith;

nasb@Romans:9:31 @but Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.

nasb@Romans:10:1 @Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation.

nasb@Romans:10:2 @For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge.

nasb@Romans:10:5 @For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness.

nasb@Romans:10:6 @But the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows- " DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, 'WHO WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN?' (that is, to bring Christ down),

nasb@Romans:10:7 @or 'WHO WILL DESCEND INTO THE ABYSS?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead)."

nasb@Romans:10:8 @But what does it say? " THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,

nasb@Romans:10:9 @that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

nasb@Romans:10:10 @for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

nasb@Romans:10:19 @But I say, surely Israel did not know, did they? First Moses says, " I WILL MAKE YOU JEALOUS BY THAT WHICH IS NOT A NATION, BY A NATION WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING WILL I ANGER YOU."

nasb@Romans:10:21 @But as for Israel He says, " ALL THE DAY LONG I HAVE STRETCHED OUT MY HANDS TO A DISOBEDIENT AND OBSTINATE PEOPLE."

nasb@Romans:11:2 @God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?

nasb@Romans:11:4 @But what is the divine response to him? " I HAVE KEPT for Myself SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL."

nasb@Romans:11:5 @In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God's gracious choice.

nasb@Romans:11:7 @What then? What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened;

nasb@Romans:11:11 @I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? May it never be! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous.

nasb@Romans:11:15 @For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

nasb@Romans:11:18 @do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.

nasb@Romans:11:19 @You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."

nasb@Romans:11:21 @for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either.

nasb@Romans:11:24 @For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?

nasb@Romans:11:25 @For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery--so that you will not be wise in your own estimation--that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;

nasb@Romans:11:28 @From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God's choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers;

nasb@Romans:11:31 @so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy.

nasb@Romans:11:32 @For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.

nasb@Romans:11:33 @Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

nasb@Romans:11:35 @Or WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM THAT IT MIGHT BE PAID BACK TO HIM AGAIN?

nasb@Romans:12:2 @And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

nasb@Romans:12:6 @Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly- if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith;

nasb@Romans:12:8 @or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

nasb@Romans:12:9 @Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good.

nasb@Romans:12:12 @rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer,

nasb@Romans:12:16 @Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.

nasb@Romans:12:17 @Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men.

nasb@Romans:12:18 @If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.

nasb@Romans:12:19 @Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, " VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord.

nasb@Romans:13:2 @Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.

nasb@Romans:13:3 @For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same;

nasb@Romans:13:4 @for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.

nasb@Romans:13:5 @Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake.

nasb@Romans:13:7 @Render to all what is due them- tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

nasb@Romans:13:11 @Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed.

nasb@Romans:14:2 @One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only.

nasb@Romans:14:3 @The one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.

nasb@Romans:14:6 @He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God.

nasb@Romans:14:9 @For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

nasb@Romans:14:10 @But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

nasb@Romans:14:13 @Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this-- not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's way.

nasb@Romans:14:14 @I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

nasb@Romans:14:16 @Therefore do not let what is for you a good thing be spoken of as evil;

nasb@Romans:14:17 @for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Romans:14:20 @Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but they are evil for the man who eats and gives offense.

nasb@Romans:14:21 @It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles.

nasb@Romans:14:22 @The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

nasb@Romans:14:23 @But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin.

nasb@Romans:15:2 @Each of us is to please his neighbor for his good, to his edification.

nasb@Romans:15:4 @For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

nasb@Romans:15:6 @so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Romans:15:8 @For I say that Christ has become a servant to the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God to confirm the promises given to the fathers,

nasb@Romans:15:13 @Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Romans:15:14 @And concerning you, my brethren, I myself also am convinced that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able also to admonish one another.

nasb@Romans:15:15 @But I have written very boldly to you on some points so as to remind you again, because of the grace that was given me from God,

nasb@Romans:15:16 @to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the gospel of God, so that my offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Romans:15:18 @For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed,

nasb@Romans:15:19 @in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

nasb@Romans:15:20 @And thus I aspired to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build on another man's foundation;

nasb@Romans:15:27 @Yes, they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things.

nasb@Romans:15:29 @I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

nasb@Romans:15:31 @that I may be rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may prove acceptable to the saints;

nasb@Romans:15:32 @so that I may come to you in joy by the will of God and find refreshing rest in your company.

nasb@Romans:16:1 @I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea;

nasb@Romans:16:2 @that you receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and that you help her in whatever matter she may have need of you; for she herself has also been a helper of many, and of myself as well.

nasb@Romans:16:5 @also greet the church that is in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first convert to Christ from Asia.

nasb@Romans:16:8 @Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.

nasb@Romans:16:14 @Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas and the brethren with them.

nasb@Romans:16:18 @For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.

nasb@Romans:16:19 @For the report of your obedience has reached to all; therefore I am rejoicing over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil.

nasb@Romans:16:20 @The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

nasb@Romans:16:21 @Timothy my fellow worker greets you, and so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

nasb@Romans:16:25 @Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past,

nasb@Romans:16:26 @but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith;

nasb@1Corinthians:1:2 @To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours-

nasb@1Corinthians:1:3 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:5 @that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:7 @so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting eagerly the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:10 @Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:11 @For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe's people, that there are quarrels among you.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:12 @Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, "I am of Paul," and "I of Apollos," and "I of Cephas," and "I of Christ."

nasb@1Corinthians:1:14 @I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:15 @so that no one would say you were baptized in my name.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:16 @Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:17 @For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:20 @Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

nasb@1Corinthians:1:26 @For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;

nasb@1Corinthians:1:28 @and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:29 @so that no man may boast before God.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:30 @But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:31 @so that, just as it is written, " LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD."

nasb@1Corinthians:2:4 @and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

nasb@1Corinthians:2:5 @so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:6 @Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away;

nasb@1Corinthians:2:9 @but just as it is written, " THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM."

nasb@1Corinthians:2:12 @Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God,

nasb@1Corinthians:2:14 @But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:16 @For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIMNULL But we have the mind of Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:5 @What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:6 @I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:7 @So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:8 @Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:10 @According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:11 @For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:12 @Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

nasb@1Corinthians:3:16 @Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

nasb@1Corinthians:3:17 @If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:18 @Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:19 @For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, "He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS";

nasb@1Corinthians:3:20 @and again, " THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS."

nasb@1Corinthians:3:22 @whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you,

nasb@1Corinthians:4:2 @In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:3 @But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:6 @Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:7 @For who regards you as superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

nasb@1Corinthians:4:8 @You are already filled, you have already become rich, you have become kings without us; and indeed, I wish that you had become kings so that we also might reign with you.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:9 @For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:11 @To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless;

nasb@1Corinthians:4:13 @when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:15 @For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:16 @Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:21 @What do you desireNULL Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentlenessNULL

nasb@1Corinthians:5:1 @It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father's wife.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:2 @You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:5 @I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:6 @Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?

nasb@1Corinthians:5:7 @Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:8 @Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:9 @I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people;

nasb@1Corinthians:5:10 @I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:11 @But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:12 @For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:2 @Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:3 @Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:4 @So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:5 @I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his brethren,

nasb@1Corinthians:6:6 @but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:7 @Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:9 @Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,

nasb@1Corinthians:6:15 @Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!

nasb@1Corinthians:6:16 @Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, " THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH."

nasb@1Corinthians:6:18 @Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:19 @Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?

nasb@1Corinthians:7:5 @Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:7 @Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:8 @But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:10 @But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband

nasb@1Corinthians:7:11 @(but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:12 @But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:19 @Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is the keeping of the commandments of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:20 @Each man must remain in that condition in which he was called.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:21 @Were you called while a slave? Do not worry about it; but if you are able also to become free, rather do that.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:24 @Brethren, each one is to remain with God in that condition in which he was called.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:26 @I think then that this is good in view of the present distress, that it is good for a man to remain as he is.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:29 @But this I say, brethren, the time has been shortened, so that from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none;

nasb@1Corinthians:7:34 @and his interests are divided. The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:35 @This I say for your own benefit; not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:36 @But if any man thinks that he is acting unbecomingly toward his virgin daughter, if she is past her youth, and if it must be so, let him do what he wishes, he does not sin; let her marry.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:40 @But in my opinion she is happier if she remains as she is; and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:1 @Now concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes arrogant, but love edifies.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:2 @If anyone supposes that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know;

nasb@1Corinthians:8:4 @Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that there is no such thing as an idol in the world, and that there is no God but one.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:6 @yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:7 @However not all men have this knowledge; but some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat food as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:8 @But food will not commend us to God; we are neither the worse if we do not eat, nor the better if we do eat.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:9 @But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:10 @For if someone sees you, who have knowledge, dining in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

nasb@1Corinthians:8:13 @Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to stumble.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:2 @If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:4 @Do we not have a right to eat and drink?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:7 @Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Or who tends a flock and does not use the milk of the flock?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:11 @If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:12 @If others share the right over you, do we not more? Nevertheless, we did not use this right, but we endure all things so that we will cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:13 @Do you not know that those who perform sacred services eat the food of the temple, and those who attend regularly to the altar have their share from the altar?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:15 @But I have used none of these things. And I am not writing these things so that it will be done so in my case; for it would be better for me to die than have any man make my boast an empty one.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:18 @What then is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may offer the gospel without charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:19 @For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may win more.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:20 @To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law though not being myself under the Law, so that I might win those who are under the Law;

nasb@1Corinthians:9:21 @to those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:22 @To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:23 @I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:24 @Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:25 @Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:26 @Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air;

nasb@1Corinthians:9:27 @but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:1 @For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:3 @and all ate the same spiritual food;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:6 @Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they also craved.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:7 @Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, " THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND DRINK, AND STOOD UP TO PLAY."

nasb@1Corinthians:10:12 @Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:13 @No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:14 @Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:15 @I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:18 @Look at the nation Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar?

nasb@1Corinthians:10:19 @What do I mean then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

nasb@1Corinthians:10:20 @No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers in demons.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:24 @Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:25 @Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions for conscience' sake;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:27 @If one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, eat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience' sake.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:28 @But if anyone says to you, "This is meat sacrificed to idols," do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience' sake;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:30 @If I partake with thankfulness, why am I slandered concerning that for which I give thanks?

nasb@1Corinthians:10:31 @Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:33 @just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:1 @Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:3 @But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:8 @For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man;

nasb@1Corinthians:11:9 @for indeed man was not created for the woman's sake, but woman for the man's sake.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:12 @For as the woman originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and all things originate from God.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:14 @Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,

nasb@1Corinthians:11:18 @For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and in part I believe it.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:19 @For there must also be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:20 @Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper,

nasb@1Corinthians:11:21 @for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:22 @What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:23 @For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread;

nasb@1Corinthians:11:26 @For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:27 @Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:28 @But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:29 @For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:32 @But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:33 @So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:34 @If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will arrange when I come.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:2 @You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the mute idols, however you were led.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:3 @Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed"; and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:7 @But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:10 @and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:22 @On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;

nasb@1Corinthians:12:24 @whereas our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked,

nasb@1Corinthians:12:25 @so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:28 @And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:31 @But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And I show you a still more excellent way.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:4 @Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,

nasb@1Corinthians:13:13 @But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:1 @Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:3 @But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:5 @Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy; and greater is one who prophesies than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edifying.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:6 @But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation or of knowledge or of prophecy or of teaching?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:7 @Yet even lifeless things, either flute or harp, in producing a sound, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:8 @For if the bugle produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:9 @So also you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that is clear, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:10 @There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and no kind is without meaning.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:12 @So also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek to abound for the edification of the church.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:13 @Therefore let one who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:15 @What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:16 @Otherwise if you bless in the spirit only, how will the one who fills the place of the ungifted say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:19 @however, in the church I desire to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:20 @Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; yet in evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:23 @Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:25 @the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so he will fall on his face and worship God, declaring that God is certainly among you.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:26 @What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:27 @If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must interpret;

nasb@1Corinthians:14:30 @But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:31 @For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted;

nasb@1Corinthians:14:35 @If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:36 @Was it from you that the word of God first went forth? Or has it come to you only?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:37 @If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord's commandment.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:3 @For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

nasb@1Corinthians:15:4 @and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

nasb@1Corinthians:15:5 @and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:6 @After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:10 @But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:12 @Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

nasb@1Corinthians:15:15 @Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:21 @For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:23 @But each in his own order- Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming,

nasb@1Corinthians:15:24 @then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:26 @The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:27 @For HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He says, " All things are put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:28 @When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:29 @Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?

nasb@1Corinthians:15:32 @If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, LET US EAT AND DRINK, FOR TOMORROW WE DIE.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:35 @But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?"

nasb@1Corinthians:15:36 @You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:37 @and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:44 @it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:46 @However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:50 @Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:52 @in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:54 @But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, " DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:55" @ O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?"

nasb@1Corinthians:15:56 @The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:58 @Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:1 @Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so do you also.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:2 @On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:6 @and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I may go.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:10 @Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without cause to be afraid, for he is doing the Lord's work, as I also am.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:11 @So let no one despise him. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:12 @But concerning Apollos our brother, I encouraged him greatly to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his desire to come now, but he will come when he has opportunity.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:14 @Let all that you do be done in love.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:15 @Now I urge you, brethren (you know the household of Stephanas, that they were the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves for ministry to the saints),

nasb@1Corinthians:16:16 @that you also be in subjection to such men and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:17 @I rejoice over the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:19 @The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:22 @If anyone does not love the Lord, he is to be accursed. Maranatha.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:1 @Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God which is at Corinth with all the saints who are throughout Achaia-

nasb@2Corinthians:1:2 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:3 @Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

nasb@2Corinthians:1:4 @who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:6 @But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer;

nasb@2Corinthians:1:7 @and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that as you are sharers of our sufferings, so also you are sharers of our comfort.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:8 @For we do not want you to be unaware, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life;

nasb@2Corinthians:1:9 @indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;

nasb@2Corinthians:1:10 @who delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, He on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us,

nasb@2Corinthians:1:11 @you also joining in helping us through your prayers, so that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the favor bestowed on us through the prayers of many.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:12 @For our proud confidence is this- the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:13 @For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand until the end;

nasb@2Corinthians:1:14 @just as you also partially did understand us, that we are your reason to be proud as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:15 @In this confidence I intended at first to come to you, so that you might twice receive a blessing;

nasb@2Corinthians:1:16 @that is, to pass your way into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be helped on my journey to Judea.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:17 @Therefore, I was not vacillating when I intended to do this, was I? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, so that with me there will be yes, yes and no, no at the same time?

nasb@2Corinthians:1:23 @But I call God as witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:24 @Not that we lord it over your faith, but are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are standing firm.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:1 @But I determined this for my own sake, that I would not come to you in sorrow again.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:3 @This is the very thing I wrote you, so that when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be the joy of you all.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:4 @For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not so that you would be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have especially for you.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:7 @so that on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, otherwise such a one might be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:9 @For to this end also I wrote, so that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:10 @But one whom you forgive anything, I forgive also; for indeed what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, I did it for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

nasb@2Corinthians:2:11 @so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:16 @to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things?

nasb@2Corinthians:3:1 @Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you?

nasb@2Corinthians:3:3 @being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:5 @Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,

nasb@2Corinthians:3:6 @who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:7 @But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was,

nasb@2Corinthians:3:9 @For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:10 @For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:11 @For if that which fades away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:12 @Therefore having such a hope, we use great boldness in our speech,

nasb@2Corinthians:3:13 @and are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not look intently at the end of what was fading away.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:14 @But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:2 @but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:4 @in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:7 @But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;

nasb@2Corinthians:4:10 @always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:11 @For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:12 @So death works in us, but life in you.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:13 @But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, " I BELIEVED, THEREFORE I SPOKE," we also believe, therefore we also speak,

nasb@2Corinthians:4:14 @knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:15 @For all things are for your sakes, so that the grace which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:18 @while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:1 @For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:4 @For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:6 @Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord--

nasb@2Corinthians:5:8 @we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:9 @Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:10 @For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:11 @Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:12 @We are not again commending ourselves to you but are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:14 @For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died;

nasb@2Corinthians:5:15 @and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:17 @Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:18 @Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,

nasb@2Corinthians:5:19 @namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:21 @He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

nasb@2Corinthians:6:2 @for He says, " AT THE ACCEPTABLE TIME I LISTENED TO YOU, AND ON THE DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU." Behold, now is "THE ACCEPTABLE TIME," behold, now is "THE DAY OF SALVATION"--

nasb@2Corinthians:6:3 @giving no cause for offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited,

nasb@2Corinthians:6:5 @in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in hunger,

nasb@2Corinthians:6:6 @in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love,

nasb@2Corinthians:6:9 @as unknown yet well-known, as dying yet behold, we live; as punished yet not put to death,

nasb@2Corinthians:6:14 @Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?

nasb@2Corinthians:6:15 @Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?

nasb@2Corinthians:6:16 @Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, " I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.

nasb@2Corinthians:6:17" @ Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE," says the Lord. "AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And I will welcome you.

nasb@2Corinthians:6:18" @ And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me," Says the Lord Almighty.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:3 @I do not speak to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and to live together.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:4 @Great is my confidence in you; great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort; I am overflowing with joy in all our affliction.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:7 @and not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced even more.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:8 @For though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it--for I see that that letter caused you sorrow, though only for a while--

nasb@2Corinthians:7:9 @I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:10 @For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:11 @For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you- what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what avenging of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:12 @So although I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the offender nor for the sake of the one offended, but that your earnestness on our behalf might be made known to you in the sight of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:16 @I rejoice that in everything I have confidence in you.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:2 @that in a great ordeal of affliction their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed in the wealth of their liberality.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:3 @For I testify that according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they gave of their own accord,

nasb@2Corinthians:8:4 @begging us with much urging for the favor of participation in the support of the saints,

nasb@2Corinthians:8:6 @So we urged Titus that as he had previously made a beginning, so he would also complete in you this gracious work as well.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:7 @But just as you abound in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and in all earnestness and in the love we inspired in you, see that you abound in this gracious work also.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:9 @For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:10 @I give my opinion in this matter, for this is to your advantage, who were the first to begin a year ago not only to do this, but also to desire to do it.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:11 @But now finish doing it also, so that just as there was the readiness to desire it, so there may be also the completion of it by your ability.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:12 @For if the readiness is present, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:14 @at this present time your abundance being a supply for their need, so that their abundance also may become a supply for your need, that there may be equality;

nasb@2Corinthians:8:15 @as it is written, " HE WHO gathered MUCH DID NOT HAVE TOO MUCH, AND HE WHO gathered LITTLE HAD NO LACK."

nasb@2Corinthians:8:20 @taking precaution so that no one will discredit us in our administration of this generous gift;

nasb@2Corinthians:8:21 @for we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:22 @We have sent with them our brother, whom we have often tested and found diligent in many things, but now even more diligent because of his great confidence in you.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:2 @for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the Macedonians, namely, that Achaia has been prepared since last year, and your zeal has stirred up most of them.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:3 @But I have sent the brethren, in order that our boasting about you may not be made empty in this case, so that, as I was saying, you may be prepared;

nasb@2Corinthians:9:5 @So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren that they would go on ahead to you and arrange beforehand your previously promised bountiful gift, so that the same would be ready as a bountiful gift and not affected by covetousness.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:8 @And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed;

nasb@2Corinthians:9:9 @as it is written, " HE SCATTERED ABROAD, HE GAVE TO THE POOR, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ENDURES FOREVER."

nasb@2Corinthians:10:2 @I ask that when I am present I need not be bold with the confidence with which I propose to be courageous against some, who regard us as if we walked according to the flesh.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:5 @We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,

nasb@2Corinthians:10:7 @You are looking at things as they are outwardly. If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also are we.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:8 @For even if I boast somewhat further about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be put to shame,

nasb@2Corinthians:10:11 @Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when absent, such persons we are also in deed when present.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:15 @not boasting beyond our measure, that is, in other men's labors, but with the hope that as your faith grows, we will be, within our sphere, enlarged even more by you,

nasb@2Corinthians:10:16 @so as to preach the gospel even to the regions beyond you, and not to boast in what has been accomplished in the sphere of another.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:18 @For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:1 @I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness; but indeed you are bearing with me.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:2 @For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:3 @But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:7 @Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you without charge?

nasb@2Corinthians:11:12 @But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:14 @No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:16 @Again I say, let no one think me foolish; but if you do, receive me even as foolish, so that I also may boast a little.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:17 @What I am saying, I am not saying as the Lord would, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:19 @For you, being so wise, tolerate the foolish gladly.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:20 @For you tolerate it if anyone enslaves you, anyone devours you, anyone takes advantage of you, anyone exalts himself, anyone hits you in the face.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:21 @To my shame I must say that we have been weak by comparison. But in whatever respect anyone else is bold--I speak in foolishness--I am just as bold myself.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:23 @Are they servants of Christ?--I speak as if insane--I more so; in far more labors, in far more imprisonments, beaten times without number, often in danger of death.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:25 @Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:30 @If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my weakness.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:31 @The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, He who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:1 @Boasting is necessary, though it is not profitable; but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:6 @For if I do wish to boast I will not be foolish, for I will be speaking the truth; but I refrain from this, so that no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:7 @Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me--to keep me from exalting myself!

nasb@2Corinthians:12:8 @Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:9 @And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:13 @For in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

nasb@2Corinthians:12:14 @Here for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I do not seek what is yours, but you; for children are not responsible to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:16 @But be that as it may, I did not burden you myself; nevertheless, crafty fellow that I am, I took you in by deceit.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:19 @All this time you have been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you. Actually, it is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ; and all for your upbuilding, beloved.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:20 @For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may find you to be not what I wish and may be found by you to be not what you wish; that perhaps there will be strife, jealousy, angry tempers, disputes, slanders, gossip, arrogance, disturbances;

nasb@2Corinthians:12:21 @I am afraid that when I come again my God may humiliate me before you, and I may mourn over many of those who have sinned in the past and not repented of the impurity, immorality and sensuality which they have practiced.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:2 @I have previously said when present the second time, and though now absent I say in advance to those who have sinned in the past and to all the rest as well, that if I come again I will not spare anyone,

nasb@2Corinthians:13:5 @Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you--unless indeed you fail the test?

nasb@2Corinthians:13:6 @But I trust that you will realize that we ourselves do not fail the test.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:7 @Now we pray to God that you do no wrong; not that we ourselves may appear approved, but that you may do what is right, even though we may appear unapproved.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:9 @For we rejoice when we ourselves are weak but you are strong; this we also pray for, that you be made complete.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:10 @For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present I need not use severity, in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

nasb@Galatians:1:1 @Paul, an apostle ( not sent from men nor through the agency of man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead),

nasb@Galatians:1:2 @and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia-

nasb@Galatians:1:3 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@Galatians:1:4 @who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

nasb@Galatians:1:5 @to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen.

nasb@Galatians:1:6 @I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel;

nasb@Galatians:1:7 @which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.

nasb@Galatians:1:8 @But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!

nasb@Galatians:1:9 @As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!

nasb@Galatians:1:10 @For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.

nasb@Galatians:1:11 @For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

nasb@Galatians:1:12 @For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

nasb@Galatians:1:13 @For you have heard of my former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it;

nasb@Galatians:1:14 @and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions.

nasb@Galatians:1:15 @But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother's womb and called me through His grace, was pleased

nasb@Galatians:1:16 @to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood,

nasb@Galatians:1:17 @nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to Damascus.

nasb@Galatians:1:18 @Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days.

nasb@Galatians:1:19 @But I did not see any other of the apostles except James, the Lord's brother.

nasb@Galatians:1:20 @(Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I am not lying.)

nasb@Galatians:1:21 @Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

nasb@Galatians:1:22 @I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which were in Christ;

nasb@Galatians:1:23 @but only, they kept hearing, "He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith which he once tried to destroy."

nasb@Galatians:1:24 @And they were glorifying God because of me.

nasb@Galatians:2:1 @Then after an interval of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also.

nasb@Galatians:2:2 @It was because of a revelation that I went up; and I submitted to them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but I did so in private to those who were of reputation, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

nasb@Galatians:2:3 @But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

nasb@Galatians:2:4 @But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.

nasb@Galatians:2:5 @But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.

nasb@Galatians:2:6 @But from those who were of high reputation (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)--well, those who were of reputation contributed nothing to me.

nasb@Galatians:2:7 @But on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised

nasb@Galatians:2:8 @(for He who effectually worked for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles),

nasb@Galatians:2:9 @and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

nasb@Galatians:2:10 @They only asked us to remember the poor-- the very thing I also was eager to do.

nasb@Galatians:2:11 @But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

nasb@Galatians:2:12 @For prior to the coming of certain men from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to withdraw and hold himself aloof, fearing the party of the circumcision.

nasb@Galatians:2:13 @The rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.

nasb@Galatians:2:14 @But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, "If you, being a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?

nasb@Galatians:2:15" @We are Jews by nature and not sinners from among the Gentiles;

nasb@Galatians:2:16 @nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.

nasb@Galatians:2:17" @But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? May it never be!

nasb@Galatians:2:18" @For if I rebuild what I have once destroyed, I prove myself to be a transgressor.

nasb@Galatians:2:19" @For through the Law I died to the Law, so that I might live to God.

nasb@Galatians:2:20" @I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

nasb@Galatians:2:21" @I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly."

nasb@Galatians:3:1 @You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?

nasb@Galatians:3:2 @This is the only thing I want to find out from you- did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?

nasb@Galatians:3:3 @Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?

nasb@Galatians:3:4 @Did you suffer so many things in vain-- if indeed it was in vain?

nasb@Galatians:3:5 @So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?

nasb@Galatians:3:6 @Even so Abraham BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.

nasb@Galatians:3:7 @Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.

nasb@Galatians:3:8 @The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, " ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU."

nasb@Galatians:3:9 @So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer.

nasb@Galatians:3:11 @Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, " THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."

nasb@Galatians:3:12 @However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, " HE WHO PRACTICES THEM SHALL LIVE BY THEM."

nasb@Galatians:3:13 @Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us--for it is written, " CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE"--

nasb@Galatians:3:14 @in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

nasb@Galatians:3:15 @Brethren, I speak in terms of human relations- even though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it.

nasb@Galatians:3:16 @Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, "And to seeds," as referring to many, but rather to one, " And to your seed," that is, Christ.

nasb@Galatians:3:17 @What I am saying is this- the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise.

nasb@Galatians:3:18 @For if the inheritance is based on law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise.

nasb@Galatians:3:19 @Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

nasb@Galatians:3:20 @Now a mediator is not for one party only; whereas God is only one.

nasb@Galatians:3:21 @Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law.

nasb@Galatians:3:22 @But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

nasb@Galatians:3:23 @But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed.

nasb@Galatians:3:24 @Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.

nasb@Galatians:3:25 @But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

nasb@Galatians:3:26 @For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Galatians:3:27 @For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

nasb@Galatians:3:28 @There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Galatians:3:29 @And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise.

nasb@Galatians:4:1 @Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything,

nasb@Galatians:4:2 @but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father.

nasb@Galatians:4:3 @So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world.

nasb@Galatians:4:4 @But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,

nasb@Galatians:4:5 @so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

nasb@Galatians:4:6 @Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, " Abba! Father!"

nasb@Galatians:4:7 @Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

nasb@Galatians:4:8 @However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods.

nasb@Galatians:4:9 @But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again?

nasb@Galatians:4:10 @You observe days and months and seasons and years.

nasb@Galatians:4:11 @I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain.

nasb@Galatians:4:12 @I beg of you, brethren, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong;

nasb@Galatians:4:13 @but you know that it was because of a bodily illness that I preached the gospel to you the first time;

nasb@Galatians:4:14 @and that which was a trial to you in my bodily condition you did not despise or loathe, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus Himself.

nasb@Galatians:4:15 @Where then is that sense of blessing you had? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

nasb@Galatians:4:16 @So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

nasb@Galatians:4:17 @They eagerly seek you, not commendably, but they wish to shut you out so that you will seek them.

nasb@Galatians:4:18 @But it is good always to be eagerly sought in a commendable manner, and not only when I am present with you.

nasb@Galatians:4:19 @My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you--

nasb@Galatians:4:20 @but I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

nasb@Galatians:4:21 @Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law?

nasb@Galatians:4:22 @For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman and one by the free woman.

nasb@Galatians:4:23 @But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise.

nasb@Galatians:4:24 @This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants- one proceeding from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar.

nasb@Galatians:4:25 @Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

nasb@Galatians:4:26 @But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother.

nasb@Galatians:4:27 @For it is written, " REJOICE, BARREN WOMAN WHO DOES NOT BEAR; FORTH AND SHOUT, YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR; FOR MORE NUMEROUS ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE DESOLATE THAN OF THE ONE WHO HAS A HUSBAND."

nasb@Galatians:4:28 @And you brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise.

nasb@Galatians:4:29 @But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also.

nasb@Galatians:4:30 @But what does the Scripture say? " CAST OUT THE BONDWOMAN AND HER SON, FOR THE SON OF THE BONDWOMAN SHALL NOT BE AN HEIR WITH THE SON OF THE FREE WOMAN."

nasb@Galatians:4:31 @So then, brethren, we are not children of a bondwoman, but of the free woman.

nasb@Galatians:5:1 @It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

nasb@Galatians:5:2 @Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you.

nasb@Galatians:5:3 @And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law.

nasb@Galatians:5:4 @You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

nasb@Galatians:5:5 @For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

nasb@Galatians:5:6 @For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.

nasb@Galatians:5:7 @You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?

nasb@Galatians:5:8 @This persuasion did not come from Him who calls you.

nasb@Galatians:5:9 @A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough.

nasb@Galatians:5:10 @I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

nasb@Galatians:5:11 @But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.

nasb@Galatians:5:12 @I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves.

nasb@Galatians:5:13 @For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

nasb@Galatians:5:14 @For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, " YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

nasb@Galatians:5:15 @But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.

nasb@Galatians:5:16 @But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.

nasb@Galatians:5:17 @For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.

nasb@Galatians:5:18 @But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.

nasb@Galatians:5:19 @Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are- immorality, impurity, sensuality,

nasb@Galatians:5:20 @idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,

nasb@Galatians:5:21 @envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

nasb@Galatians:5:22 @But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

nasb@Galatians:5:23 @gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

nasb@Galatians:5:24 @Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

nasb@Galatians:5:25 @If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

nasb@Galatians:5:26 @Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.

nasb@Galatians:6:1 @Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.

nasb@Galatians:6:2 @Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.

nasb@Galatians:6:3 @For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

nasb@Galatians:6:4 @But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.

nasb@Galatians:6:5 @For each one will bear his own load.

nasb@Galatians:6:6 @The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him.

nasb@Galatians:6:7 @Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.

nasb@Galatians:6:8 @For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

nasb@Galatians:6:9 @Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

nasb@Galatians:6:10 @So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

nasb@Galatians:6:11 @See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.

nasb@Galatians:6:12 @Those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

nasb@Galatians:6:13 @For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.

nasb@Galatians:6:14 @But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

nasb@Galatians:6:15 @For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

nasb@Galatians:6:16 @And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

nasb@Galatians:6:17 @From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus.

nasb@Galatians:6:18 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

nasb@Ephesians:1:1 @Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are at Ephesus and who are faithful in Christ Jesus-

nasb@Ephesians:1:2 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Ephesians:1:3 @Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

nasb@Ephesians:1:4 @just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love

nasb@Ephesians:1:10 @with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him

nasb@Ephesians:1:12 @to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory.

nasb@Ephesians:1:13 @In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,

nasb@Ephesians:1:17 @that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.

nasb@Ephesians:1:18 @I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

nasb@Ephesians:1:19 @and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might

nasb@Ephesians:1:20 @which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

nasb@Ephesians:1:21 @far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

nasb@Ephesians:2:2 @in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.

nasb@Ephesians:2:3 @Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

nasb@Ephesians:2:4 @But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

nasb@Ephesians:2:6 @and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

nasb@Ephesians:2:7 @so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Ephesians:2:8 @For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

nasb@Ephesians:2:9 @not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

nasb@Ephesians:2:10 @For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

nasb@Ephesians:2:11 @Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called " Uncircumcision" by the so-called " Circumcision," which is performed in the flesh by human hands--

nasb@Ephesians:2:12 @remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

nasb@Ephesians:2:15 @by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace,

nasb@Ephesians:2:16 @and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.

nasb@Ephesians:2:18 @for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

nasb@Ephesians:2:20 @having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,

nasb@Ephesians:3:3 @that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief.

nasb@Ephesians:3:5 @which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

nasb@Ephesians:3:6 @to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

nasb@Ephesians:3:8 @To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ,

nasb@Ephesians:3:9 @and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things;

nasb@Ephesians:3:10 @so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places.

nasb@Ephesians:3:13 @Therefore I ask you not to lose heart at my tribulations on your behalf, for they are your glory.

nasb@Ephesians:3:14 @For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

nasb@Ephesians:3:16 @that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,

nasb@Ephesians:3:17 @so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

nasb@Ephesians:3:18 @may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

nasb@Ephesians:3:19 @and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

nasb@Ephesians:3:20 @Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

nasb@Ephesians:3:21 @to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@Ephesians:4:2 @with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love,

nasb@Ephesians:4:6 @one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.

nasb@Ephesians:4:9 @(Now this expression, "He ascended," what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth?

nasb@Ephesians:4:10 @He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.)

nasb@Ephesians:4:13 @until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

nasb@Ephesians:4:16 @from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.

nasb@Ephesians:4:17 @So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,

nasb@Ephesians:4:18 @being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart;

nasb@Ephesians:4:22 @that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit,

nasb@Ephesians:4:23 @and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

nasb@Ephesians:4:24 @and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

nasb@Ephesians:4:28 @He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need.

nasb@Ephesians:4:29 @Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.

nasb@Ephesians:4:31 @Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

nasb@Ephesians:5:1 @Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;

nasb@Ephesians:5:4 @and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.

nasb@Ephesians:5:5 @For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

nasb@Ephesians:5:6 @Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

nasb@Ephesians:5:10 @trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.

nasb@Ephesians:5:11 @Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them;

nasb@Ephesians:5:13 @But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.

nasb@Ephesians:5:17 @So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

nasb@Ephesians:5:18 @And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,

nasb@Ephesians:5:20 @always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;

nasb@Ephesians:5:26 @so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

nasb@Ephesians:5:27 @that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.

nasb@Ephesians:5:29 @for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,

nasb@Ephesians:5:31 @FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.

nasb@Ephesians:5:32 @This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.

nasb@Ephesians:5:33 @Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.

nasb@Ephesians:6:2 @HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER (which is the first commandment with a promise),

nasb@Ephesians:6:3 @SO THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH YOU, AND THAT YOU MAY LIVE LONG ON THE EARTH.

nasb@Ephesians:6:4 @Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

nasb@Ephesians:6:8 @knowing that whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free.

nasb@Ephesians:6:9 @And masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

nasb@Ephesians:6:11 @Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

nasb@Ephesians:6:13 @Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.

nasb@Ephesians:6:14 @Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,

nasb@Ephesians:6:15 @and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE;

nasb@Ephesians:6:17 @And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

nasb@Ephesians:6:18 @With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,

nasb@Ephesians:6:19 @and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,

nasb@Ephesians:6:20 @for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

nasb@Ephesians:6:21 @But that you also may know about my circumstances, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make everything known to you.

nasb@Ephesians:6:22 @I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know about us, and that he may comfort your hearts.

nasb@Ephesians:6:23 @Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Philippians:1:2 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Philippians:1:5 @in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now.

nasb@Philippians:1:6 @For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

nasb@Philippians:1:7 @For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.

nasb@Philippians:1:9 @And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment,

nasb@Philippians:1:10 @so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ;

nasb@Philippians:1:12 @Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel,

nasb@Philippians:1:13 @so that my imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else,

nasb@Philippians:1:14 @and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak the word of God without fear.

nasb@Philippians:1:16 @the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel;

nasb@Philippians:1:17 @the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment.

nasb@Philippians:1:18 @What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,

nasb@Philippians:1:19 @for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

nasb@Philippians:1:20 @according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

nasb@Philippians:1:23 @But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better;

nasb@Philippians:1:25 @Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,

nasb@Philippians:1:26 @so that your proud confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again.

nasb@Philippians:1:27 @Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

nasb@Philippians:1:28 @in no way alarmed by your opponents--which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God.

nasb@Philippians:2:1 @Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

nasb@Philippians:2:5 @Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,

nasb@Philippians:2:8 @Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

nasb@Philippians:2:10 @so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

nasb@Philippians:2:11 @and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

nasb@Philippians:2:12 @So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling;

nasb@Philippians:2:13 @for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

nasb@Philippians:2:15 @so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,

nasb@Philippians:2:16 @holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.

nasb@Philippians:2:19 @But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be encouraged when I learn of your condition.

nasb@Philippians:2:22 @But you know of his proven worth, that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving his father.

nasb@Philippians:2:23 @Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me;

nasb@Philippians:2:24 @and I trust in the Lord that I myself also will be coming shortly.

nasb@Philippians:2:26 @because he was longing for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.

nasb@Philippians:2:27 @For indeed he was sick to the point of death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow.

nasb@Philippians:2:28 @Therefore I have sent him all the more eagerly so that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may be less concerned about you.

nasb@Philippians:2:30 @because he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was deficient in your service to me.

nasb@Philippians:3:5 @circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee;

nasb@Philippians:3:7 @But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

nasb@Philippians:3:8 @More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ,

nasb@Philippians:3:9 @and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,

nasb@Philippians:3:10 @that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;

nasb@Philippians:3:11 @in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

nasb@Philippians:3:12 @Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

nasb@Philippians:3:13 @Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do- forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,

nasb@Philippians:3:15 @Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you;

nasb@Philippians:3:16 @however, let us keep living by that same standard to which we have attained.

nasb@Philippians:3:17 @Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us.

nasb@Philippians:3:18 @For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ,

nasb@Philippians:3:21 @who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.

nasb@Philippians:4:6 @Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

nasb@Philippians:4:8 @Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

nasb@Philippians:4:10 @But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity.

nasb@Philippians:4:11 @Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

nasb@Philippians:4:15 @You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone;

nasb@Philippians:4:17 @Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account.

nasb@Philippians:4:18 @But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

nasb@Philippians:4:20 @Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@Colossians:1:2 @To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are at Colossae- Grace to you and peace from God our Father.

nasb@Colossians:1:3 @We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

nasb@Colossians:1:9 @For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

nasb@Colossians:1:10 @so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

nasb@Colossians:1:11 @strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously

nasb@Colossians:1:12 @giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light.

nasb@Colossians:1:15 @He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

nasb@Colossians:1:16 @For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-- all things have been created through Him and for Him.

nasb@Colossians:1:18 @He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.

nasb@Colossians:1:19 @For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him,

nasb@Colossians:1:21 @And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds,

nasb@Colossians:1:22 @yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach--

nasb@Colossians:1:23 @if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

nasb@Colossians:1:24 @Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions.

nasb@Colossians:1:25 @Of this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God,

nasb@Colossians:1:26 @that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints,

nasb@Colossians:1:27 @to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

nasb@Colossians:1:28 @We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ.

nasb@Colossians:2:1 @For I want you to know how great a struggle I have on your behalf and for those who are at Laodicea, and for all those who have not personally seen my face,

nasb@Colossians:2:2 @that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ Himself,

nasb@Colossians:2:4 @I say this so that no one will delude you with persuasive argument.

nasb@Colossians:2:7 @having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.

nasb@Colossians:2:8 @See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.

nasb@Colossians:2:14 @having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

nasb@Colossians:2:16 @Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day--

nasb@Colossians:2:17 @things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

nasb@Colossians:2:18 @Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind,

nasb@Colossians:2:23 @These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence.

nasb@Colossians:3:1 @Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

nasb@Colossians:3:2 @Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.

nasb@Colossians:3:5 @Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry.

nasb@Colossians:3:6 @For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience,

nasb@Colossians:3:8 @But now you also, put them all aside- anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth.

nasb@Colossians:3:10 @and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him--

nasb@Colossians:3:12 @So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;

nasb@Colossians:3:17 @Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

nasb@Colossians:3:21 @Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart.

nasb@Colossians:3:23 @Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men,

nasb@Colossians:3:24 @knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.

nasb@Colossians:3:25 @For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality.

nasb@Colossians:4:1 @Masters, grant to your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you too have a Master in heaven.

nasb@Colossians:4:2 @Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;

nasb@Colossians:4:3 @praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned;

nasb@Colossians:4:4 @that I may make it clear in the way I ought to speak.

nasb@Colossians:4:6 @Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.

nasb@Colossians:4:7 @As to all my affairs, Tychicus, our beloved brother and faithful servant and fellow bond-servant in the Lord, will bring you information.

nasb@Colossians:4:8 @For I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts;

nasb@Colossians:4:9 @and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of your number. They will inform you about the whole situation here.

nasb@Colossians:4:12 @Epaphras, who is one of your number, a bondslave of Jesus Christ, sends you his greetings, always laboring earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.

nasb@Colossians:4:13 @For I testify for him that he has a deep concern for you and for those who are in Laodicea and Hierapolis.

nasb@Colossians:4:15 @Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea and also Nympha and the church that is in her house.

nasb@Colossians:4:16 @When this letter is read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and you, for your part read my letter that is coming from Laodicea.

nasb@Colossians:4:17 @Say to Archippus, "Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it."

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:1 @Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ- Grace to you and peace.

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:3 @constantly bearing in mind your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:5 @for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:6 @You also became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation with the joy of the Holy Spirit,

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:7 @so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:8 @For the word of the Lord has sounded forth from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything.

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:9 @For they themselves report about us what kind of a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:10 @and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:1 @For you yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain,

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:2 @but after we had already suffered and been mistreated in Philippi, as you know, we had the boldness in our God to speak to you the gospel of God amid much opposition.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:3 @For our exhortation does not come from error or impurity or by way of deceit;

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:5 @For we never came with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed-- God is witness--

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:11 @just as you know how we were exhorting and encouraging and imploring each one of you as a father would his own children,

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:12 @so that you would walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:13 @For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:14 @For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, for you also endured the same sufferings at the hands of your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews,

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:16 @hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved; with the result that they always fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them to the utmost.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:17 @But we, brethren, having been taken away from you for a short while-- in person, not in spirit--were all the more eager with great desire to see your face.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:18 @For we wanted to come to you--I, Paul, more than once--and yet Satan hindered us.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:19 @For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation? Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:1 @Therefore when we could endure it no longer, we thought it best to be left behind at Athens alone,

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:3 @so that no one would be disturbed by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we have been destined for this.

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:4 @For indeed when we were with you, we kept telling you in advance that we were going to suffer affliction; and so it came to pass, as you know.

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:5 @For this reason, when I could endure it no longer, I also sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor would be in vain.

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:6 @But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always think kindly of us, longing to see us just as we also long to see you,

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:9 @For what thanks can we render to God for you in return for all the joy with which we rejoice before our God on your account,

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:10 @as we night and day keep praying most earnestly that we may see your face, and may complete what is lacking in your faith?

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:11 @Now may our God and Father Himself and Jesus our Lord direct our way to you;

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:13 @so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:1 @Finally then, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:2 @For you know what commandments we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:3 @For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality;

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:4 @that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:6 @and that no man transgress and defraud his brother in the matter because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly warned you.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:7 @For God has not called us for the purpose of impurity, but in sanctification.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:11 @and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you,

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:12 @so that you will behave properly toward outsiders and not be in any need.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:13 @But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:14 @For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:15 @For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:2 @For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:4 @But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief;

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:7 @For those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get drunk at night.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:8 @But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:9 @For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:10 @who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:12 @But we request of you, brethren, that you appreciate those who diligently labor among you, and have charge over you in the Lord and give you instruction,

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:13 @and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:14 @We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:15 @See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:21 @But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good;

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:23 @Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:1 @Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ-

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:2 @Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:3 @We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater;

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:5 @This is a plain indication of God's righteous judgment so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:10 @when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed--for our testimony to you was believed.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:11 @To this end also we pray for you always, that our God will count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power,

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:12 @so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:1 @Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:2 @that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:4 @who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:5 @Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:6 @And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:7 @For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:8 @Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:9 @that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:11 @For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:12 @in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:13 @But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:14 @It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:16 @Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace,

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:1 @Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you;

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:2 @and that we will be rescued from perverse and evil men; for not all have faith.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:4 @We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you are doing and will continue to do what we command.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:6 @Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who leads an unruly life and not according to the tradition which you received from us.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:8 @nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we kept working night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you;

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:9 @not because we do not have the right to this, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you, so that you would follow our example.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:10 @For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order- if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:11 @For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:12 @Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to work in quiet fashion and eat their own bread.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:14 @If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of that person and do not associate with him, so that he will be put to shame.

nasb@1Timothy:1:2 @To Timothy, my true child in the faith- Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

nasb@1Timothy:1:3 @As I urged you upon my departure for Macedonia, remain on at Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines,

nasb@1Timothy:1:4 @nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the administration of God which is by faith.

nasb@1Timothy:1:7 @wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.

nasb@1Timothy:1:8 @But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully,

nasb@1Timothy:1:9 @realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers

nasb@1Timothy:1:10 @and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching,

nasb@1Timothy:1:15 @It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.

nasb@1Timothy:1:16 @Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.

nasb@1Timothy:1:18 @This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight,

nasb@1Timothy:1:20 @Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, so that they will be taught not to blaspheme.

nasb@1Timothy:2:1 @First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men,

nasb@1Timothy:2:2 @for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.

nasb@1Timothy:2:5 @For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

nasb@1Timothy:2:6 @who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.

nasb@1Timothy:2:8 @Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.

nasb@1Timothy:2:10 @but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.

nasb@1Timothy:2:13 @For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve.

nasb@1Timothy:3:1 @It is a trustworthy statement- if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do.

nasb@1Timothy:3:2 @An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

nasb@1Timothy:3:6 @and not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil.

nasb@1Timothy:3:7 @And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

nasb@1Timothy:3:11 @Women must likewise be dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things.

nasb@1Timothy:3:13 @For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

nasb@1Timothy:3:15 @but in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.

nasb@1Timothy:3:16 @By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness- He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory.

nasb@1Timothy:4:1 @But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,

nasb@1Timothy:4:3 @men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.

nasb@1Timothy:4:4 @For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude;

nasb@1Timothy:4:9 @It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance.

nasb@1Timothy:4:12 @Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.

nasb@1Timothy:4:13 @Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching.

nasb@1Timothy:4:15 @Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all.

nasb@1Timothy:4:16 @Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you.

nasb@1Timothy:5:1 @Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father, to the younger men as brothers,

nasb@1Timothy:5:5 @Now she who is a widow indeed and who has been left alone, has fixed her hope on God and continues in entreaties and prayers night and day.

nasb@1Timothy:5:7 @Prescribe these things as well, so that they may be above reproach.

nasb@1Timothy:5:10 @having a reputation for good works; and if she has brought up children, if she has shown hospitality to strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has assisted those in distress, and if she has devoted herself to every good work.

nasb@1Timothy:5:12 @thus incurring condemnation, because they have set aside their previous pledge.

nasb@1Timothy:5:13 @At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention.

nasb@1Timothy:5:15 @for some have already turned aside to follow Satan.

nasb@1Timothy:5:16 @If any woman who is a believer has dependent widows, she must assist them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are widows indeed.

nasb@1Timothy:5:17 @The elders who rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.

nasb@1Timothy:5:19 @Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses.

nasb@1Timothy:5:20 @Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also will be fearful of sinning.

nasb@1Timothy:5:23 @No longer drink water exclusively, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.

nasb@1Timothy:5:25 @Likewise also, deeds that are good are quite evident, and those which are otherwise cannot be concealed.

nasb@1Timothy:6:1 @All who are under the yoke as slaves are to regard their own masters as worthy of all honor so that the name of God and our doctrine will not be spoken against.

nasb@1Timothy:6:3 @If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness,

nasb@1Timothy:6:5 @and constant friction between men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.

nasb@1Timothy:6:6 @But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.

nasb@1Timothy:6:9 @But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction.

nasb@1Timothy:6:13 @I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

nasb@1Timothy:6:14 @that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@1Timothy:6:15 @which He will bring about at the proper time--He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,

nasb@1Timothy:6:19 @storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.

nasb@1Timothy:6:20 @O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called "knowledge"--

nasb@2Timothy:1:2 @To Timothy, my beloved son- Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

nasb@2Timothy:1:3 @I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day,

nasb@2Timothy:1:4 @longing to see you, even as I recall your tears, so that I may be filled with joy.

nasb@2Timothy:1:5 @For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well.

nasb@2Timothy:1:10 @but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

nasb@2Timothy:1:12 @For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.

nasb@2Timothy:1:15 @You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

nasb@2Timothy:1:18 @the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on that day--and you know very well what services he rendered at Ephesus.

nasb@2Timothy:2:1 @You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

nasb@2Timothy:2:4 @No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.

nasb@2Timothy:2:5 @Also if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not win the prize unless he competes according to the rules.

nasb@2Timothy:2:7 @Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.

nasb@2Timothy:2:10 @For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus and with it eternal glory.

nasb@2Timothy:2:11 @It is a trustworthy statement- For if we died with Him, we will also live with Him;

nasb@2Timothy:2:15 @Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.

nasb@2Timothy:2:16 @But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness,

nasb@2Timothy:2:18 @men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and they upset the faith of some.

nasb@2Timothy:2:19 @Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, " The Lord knows those who are His," and, " Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness."

nasb@2Timothy:2:23 @But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels.

nasb@2Timothy:2:24 @The Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged,

nasb@2Timothy:3:1 @But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.

nasb@2Timothy:3:2 @For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

nasb@2Timothy:3:3 @unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,

nasb@2Timothy:3:4 @treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

nasb@2Timothy:3:6 @For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,

nasb@2Timothy:3:10 @Now you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, perseverance,

nasb@2Timothy:3:11 @persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me!

nasb@2Timothy:3:15 @and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

nasb@2Timothy:3:17 @so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

nasb@2Timothy:4:2 @preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.

nasb@2Timothy:4:3 @For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,

nasb@2Timothy:4:8 @in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.

nasb@2Timothy:4:10 @for Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

nasb@2Timothy:4:13 @When you come bring the cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.

nasb@2Timothy:4:16 @At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; may it not be counted against them.

nasb@2Timothy:4:17 @But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fully accomplished, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was rescued out of the lion's mouth.

nasb@2Timothy:4:20 @Erastus remained at Corinth, but Trophimus I left sick at Miletus.

nasb@Titus:1:3 @but at the proper time manifested, even His word, in the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,

nasb@Titus:1:4 @To Titus, my true child in a common faith- Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

nasb@Titus:1:5 @For this reason I left you in Crete, that you would set in order what remains and appoint elders in every city as I directed you,

nasb@Titus:1:6 @namely, if any man is above reproach, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of dissipation or rebellion.

nasb@Titus:1:8 @but hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, just, devout, self-controlled,

nasb@Titus:1:9 @holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict.

nasb@Titus:1:13 @This testimony is true. For this reason reprove them severely so that they may be sound in the faith,

nasb@Titus:1:14 @not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

nasb@Titus:2:2 @Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.

nasb@Titus:2:3 @Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,

nasb@Titus:2:4 @so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

nasb@Titus:2:5 @to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

nasb@Titus:2:8 @sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.

nasb@Titus:2:9 @Urge bondslaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,

nasb@Titus:2:10 @not pilfering, but showing all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in every respect.

nasb@Titus:2:11 @For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

nasb@Titus:2:13 @looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,

nasb@Titus:3:2 @to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration for all men.

nasb@Titus:3:3 @For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

nasb@Titus:3:5 @He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

nasb@Titus:3:7 @so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

nasb@Titus:3:8 @This is a trustworthy statement; and concerning these things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed God will be careful to engage in good deeds. These things are good and profitable for men.

nasb@Titus:3:11 @knowing that such a man is perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned.

nasb@Titus:3:12 @When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

nasb@Titus:3:13 @Diligently help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way so that nothing is lacking for them.

nasb@Titus:3:14 @Our people must also learn to engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs, so that they will not be unfruitful.

nasb@Philemon:1:3 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Philemon:1:6 @and I pray that the fellowship of your faith may become effective through the knowledge of every good thing which is in you for Christ's sake.

nasb@Philemon:1:8 @Therefore, though I have enough confidence in Christ to order you to do what is proper,

nasb@Philemon:1:9 @yet for love's sake I rather appeal to you--since I am such a person as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus--

nasb@Philemon:1:12 @I have sent him back to you in person, that is, sending my very heart,

nasb@Philemon:1:13 @whom I wished to keep with me, so that on your behalf he might minister to me in my imprisonment for the gospel;

nasb@Philemon:1:14 @but without your consent I did not want to do anything, so that your goodness would not be, in effect, by compulsion but of your own free will.

nasb@Philemon:1:15 @For perhaps he was for this reason separated from you for a while, that you would have him back forever,

nasb@Philemon:1:18 @But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge that to my account;

nasb@Philemon:1:19 @I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand, I will repay it ( not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self as well).

nasb@Philemon:1:21 @Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, since I know that you will do even more than what I say.

nasb@Philemon:1:22 @At the same time also prepare me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I will be given to you.

nasb@Hebrews:1:1 @God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways,

nasb@Hebrews:1:3 @And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

nasb@Hebrews:1:5 @For to which of the angels did He ever say, " YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU"? And again, " I WILL BE A FATHER TO HIM AND HE SHALL BE A SON TO ME"?

nasb@Hebrews:1:9" @ YOU HAVE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATED LAWLESSNESS; THEREFORE GOD, YOUR GOD, HAS ANOINTED YOU WITH THE OIL OF GLADNESS ABOVE YOUR COMPANIONS."

nasb@Hebrews:1:10 @And, " YOU, LORD, IN THE BEGINNING LAID THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH, AND THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS;

nasb@Hebrews:1:13 @But to which of the angels has He ever said, " SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET"?

nasb@Hebrews:1:14 @Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvationNULL

nasb@Hebrews:2:1 @For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it.

nasb@Hebrews:2:3 @how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard,

nasb@Hebrews:2:6 @But one has testified somewhere, saying, " WHAT IS MAN, THAT YOU REMEMBER HIM? OR THE SON OF MAN, THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HIM?

nasb@Hebrews:2:8 @YOU HAVE PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET." For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him.

nasb@Hebrews:2:9 @But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

nasb@Hebrews:2:10 @For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings.

nasb@Hebrews:2:11 @For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

nasb@Hebrews:2:12 @saying, " I WILL PROCLAIM YOUR NAME TO MY BRETHREN, IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE."

nasb@Hebrews:2:14 @Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

nasb@Hebrews:2:15 @and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.

nasb@Hebrews:2:17 @Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

nasb@Hebrews:2:18 @For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.

nasb@Hebrews:3:5 @Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later;

nasb@Hebrews:3:9 @WHERE YOUR FATHERS TRIED Me BY TESTING Me, AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS.

nasb@Hebrews:3:10" @ THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION, AND SAID, 'THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS';

nasb@Hebrews:3:11 @AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, 'THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.'"

nasb@Hebrews:3:12 @Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.

nasb@Hebrews:3:13 @But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

nasb@Hebrews:3:18 @And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient?

nasb@Hebrews:3:19 @So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.

nasb@Hebrews:4:3 @For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, " AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST," although His works were finished from the foundation of the world.

nasb@Hebrews:4:8 @For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that.

nasb@Hebrews:4:9 @So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

nasb@Hebrews:4:11 @Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience.

nasb@Hebrews:4:13 @And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

nasb@Hebrews:4:14 @Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

nasb@Hebrews:4:15 @For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.

nasb@Hebrews:4:16 @Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

nasb@Hebrews:5:3 @and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins, as for the people, so also for himself.

nasb@Hebrews:5:7 @In the days of His flesh, He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety.

nasb@Hebrews:5:9 @And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,

nasb@Hebrews:5:10 @being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

nasb@Hebrews:5:14 @But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.

nasb@Hebrews:6:1 @Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

nasb@Hebrews:6:7 @For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God;

nasb@Hebrews:6:9 @But, beloved, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation, though we are speaking in this way.

nasb@Hebrews:6:11 @And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end,

nasb@Hebrews:6:12 @so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

nasb@Hebrews:6:13 @For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,

nasb@Hebrews:6:15 @And so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise.

nasb@Hebrews:6:16 @For men swear by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute.

nasb@Hebrews:6:17 @In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath,

nasb@Hebrews:6:18 @so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.

nasb@Hebrews:7:2 @to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all the spoils, was first of all, by the translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace.

nasb@Hebrews:7:3 @Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, he remains a priest perpetually.

nasb@Hebrews:7:4 @Now observe how great this man was to whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth of the choicest spoils.

nasb@Hebrews:7:5 @And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have commandment in the Law to collect a tenth from the people, that is, from their brethren, although these are descended from Abraham.

nasb@Hebrews:7:7 @But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.

nasb@Hebrews:7:8 @In this case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case one receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives on.

nasb@Hebrews:7:10 @for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

nasb@Hebrews:7:11 @Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron?

nasb@Hebrews:7:13 @For the one concerning whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.

nasb@Hebrews:7:14 @For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a tribe with reference to which Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.

nasb@Hebrews:7:17 @For it is attested of Him, " YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK."

nasb@Hebrews:7:20 @And inasmuch as it was not without an oath

nasb@Hebrews:7:21 @(for they indeed became priests without an oath, but He with an oath through the One who said to Him, " THE LORD HAS SWORN AND WILL NOT CHANGE HIS MIND, 'YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER'");

nasb@Hebrews:7:23 @The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing,

nasb@Hebrews:7:26 @For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens;

nasb@Hebrews:7:28 @For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son, made perfect forever.

nasb@Hebrews:8:1 @Now the main point in what has been said is this- we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

nasb@Hebrews:8:3 @For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.

nasb@Hebrews:8:4 @Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law;

nasb@Hebrews:8:5 @who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, " SEE," He says, "THAT YOU MAKE all things ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN WHICH WAS SHOWN YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN."

nasb@Hebrews:8:6 @But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

nasb@Hebrews:8:7 @For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second.

nasb@Hebrews:8:9 @NOT LIKE THE COVENANT WHICH I MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS ON THE DAY WHEN I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO LEAD THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT; FOR THEY DID NOT CONTINUE IN MY COVENANT, AND I DID NOT CARE FOR THEM, SAYS THE LORD.

nasb@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 INTO THEIR MINDS, AND I WILL WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS. AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.

nasb@Hebrews:8:11" @ AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH EVERYONE HIS FELLOW CITIZEN, AND EVERYONE HIS BROTHER, SAYING, 'KNOW THE LORD,' FOR ALL WILL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST OF THEM.

nasb@Hebrews:8:13 @When He said, " A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.

nasb@Hebrews:9:1 @Now even the first covenant had regulations of divine worship and the earthly sanctuary.

nasb@Hebrews:9:5 @and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; but of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

nasb@Hebrews:9:8 @The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is still standing,

nasb@Hebrews:9:10 @since they relate only to food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation.

nasb@Hebrews:9:11 @But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation;

nasb@Hebrews:9:12 @and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

nasb@Hebrews:9:13 @For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,

nasb@Hebrews:9:15 @For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

nasb@Hebrews:9:16 @For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it.

nasb@Hebrews:9:18 @Therefore even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood.

nasb@Hebrews:9:19 @For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

nasb@Hebrews:9:25 @nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood that is not his own.

nasb@Hebrews:9:26 @Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

nasb@Hebrews:9:28 @so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.

nasb@Hebrews:10:4 @For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

nasb@Hebrews:10:12 @but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD,

nasb@Hebrews:10:13 @waiting from that time onward UNTIL HIS ENEMIES BE MADE A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET.

nasb@Hebrews:10:16" @ THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THEM AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD- I WILL PUT MY LAWS UPON THEIR HEART, AND ON THEIR MIND I WILL WRITE THEM," He then says,

nasb@Hebrews:10:20 @by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh,

nasb@Hebrews:10:21 @and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

nasb@Hebrews:10:22 @let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

nasb@Hebrews:10:24 @and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,

nasb@Hebrews:10:27 @but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.

nasb@Hebrews:10:32 @But remember the former days, when, after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings,

nasb@Hebrews:10:33 @partly by being made a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming sharers with those who were so treated.

nasb@Hebrews:10:34 @For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting one.

nasb@Hebrews:10:35 @Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

nasb@Hebrews:10:36 @For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.

nasb@Hebrews:11:3 @By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

nasb@Hebrews:11:4 @By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks.

nasb@Hebrews:11:5 @By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God.

nasb@Hebrews:11:6 @And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

nasb@Hebrews:11:7 @By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

nasb@Hebrews:11:10 @for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

nasb@Hebrews:11:12 @Therefore there was born even of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN IN NUMBER, AND INNUMERABLE AS THE SAND WHICH IS BY THE SEASHORE.

nasb@Hebrews:11:13 @All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

nasb@Hebrews:11:14 @For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.

nasb@Hebrews:11:15 @And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.

nasb@Hebrews:11:16 @But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.

nasb@Hebrews:11:19 @He considered that God is able to raise people even from the dead, from which he also received him back as a type.

nasb@Hebrews:11:25 @choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,

nasb@Hebrews:11:26 @considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward.

nasb@Hebrews:11:27 @By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen.

nasb@Hebrews:11:28 @By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them.

nasb@Hebrews:11:29 @By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were drowned.

nasb@Hebrews:11:32 @And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,

nasb@Hebrews:11:35 @Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection;

nasb@Hebrews:11:37 @They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were tempted, they were put to death with the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated

nasb@Hebrews:11:39 @And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised,

nasb@Hebrews:11:40 @because God had provided something better for us, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect.

nasb@Hebrews:12:1 @Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

nasb@Hebrews:12:2 @fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

nasb@Hebrews:12:3 @For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

nasb@Hebrews:12:5 @and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, " MY SON, DO NOT REGARD LIGHTLY THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD, NOR FAINT WHEN YOU ARE REPROVED BY HIM;

nasb@Hebrews:12:7 @It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

nasb@Hebrews:12:8 @But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

nasb@Hebrews:12:9 @Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live?

nasb@Hebrews:12:10 @For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness.

nasb@Hebrews:12:12 @Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble,

nasb@Hebrews:12:13 @and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.

nasb@Hebrews:12:14 @Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.

nasb@Hebrews:12:15 @See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;

nasb@Hebrews:12:16 @that there be no immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal.

nasb@Hebrews:12:17 @For you know that even afterwards, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears.

nasb@Hebrews:12:18 @For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind,

nasb@Hebrews:12:19 @and to the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words which sound was such that those who heard begged that no further word be spoken to them.

nasb@Hebrews:12:21 @And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, " I AM FULL OF FEAR and trembling."

nasb@Hebrews:12:24 @and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel.

nasb@Hebrews:12:25 @See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven.

nasb@Hebrews:12:27 @This expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

nasb@Hebrews:12:28 @Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe;

nasb@Hebrews:13:3 @Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body.

nasb@Hebrews:13:4 @Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

nasb@Hebrews:13:5 @Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, " I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,"

nasb@Hebrews:13:6 @so that we confidently say, " THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?"

nasb@Hebrews:13:7 @Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith.

nasb@Hebrews:13:10 @We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.

nasb@Hebrews:13:12 @Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

nasb@Hebrews:13:15 @Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.

nasb@Hebrews:13:17 @Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you.

nasb@Hebrews:13:18 @Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a good conscience, desiring to conduct ourselves honorably in all things.

nasb@Hebrews:13:19 @And I urge you all the more to do this, so that I may be restored to you the sooner.

nasb@Hebrews:13:20 @Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord,

nasb@Hebrews:13:21 @equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@Hebrews:13:22 @But I urge you, brethren, bear with this word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

nasb@Hebrews:13:23 @Take notice that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom, if he comes soon, I will see you.

nasb@James:1:3 @knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

nasb@James:1:4 @And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

nasb@James:1:7 @For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,

nasb@James:1:10 @and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.

nasb@James:1:15 @Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.

nasb@James:1:17 @Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

nasb@James:1:18 @In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures.

nasb@James:1:21 @Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.

nasb@James:1:23 @For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;

nasb@James:1:24 @for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.

nasb@James:1:25 @But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.

nasb@James:1:27 @Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this- to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

nasb@James:2:1 @My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

nasb@James:2:3 @and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes, and say, "You sit here in a good place," and you say to the poor man, "You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool,"

nasb@James:2:14 @What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?

nasb@James:2:16 @and one of you says to them, " Go in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?

nasb@James:2:19 @You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.

nasb@James:2:20 @But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?

nasb@James:2:21 @Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

nasb@James:2:22 @You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected;

nasb@James:2:24 @You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

nasb@James:3:1 @Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment.

nasb@James:3:2 @For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

nasb@James:3:3 @Now if we put the bits into the horses' mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well.

nasb@James:3:4 @Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot desires.

nasb@James:3:5 @So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!

nasb@James:3:6 @And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell.

nasb@James:3:7 @For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race.

nasb@James:3:9 @With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God;

nasb@James:3:11 @Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water?

nasb@James:3:12 @Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a vine produce figs? Nor can salt water produce fresh.

nasb@James:3:15 @This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic.

nasb@James:4:1 @What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?

nasb@James:4:3 @You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

nasb@James:4:4 @You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

nasb@James:4:5 @Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose- " He jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us"?

nasb@James:4:6 @But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, " GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."

nasb@James:4:14 @Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.

nasb@James:4:15 @Instead, you ought to say, " If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that."

nasb@James:5:2 @Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten.

nasb@James:5:3 @Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure!

nasb@James:5:5 @You have lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

nasb@James:5:6 @You have condemned and put to death the righteous man; he does not resist you.

nasb@James:5:7 @Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains.

nasb@James:5:8 @You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.

nasb@James:5:9 @Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door.

nasb@James:5:10 @As an example, brethren, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

nasb@James:5:11 @We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord's dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.

nasb@James:5:12 @But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you may not fall under judgment.

nasb@James:5:16 @Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

nasb@James:5:17 @Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.

nasb@James:5:20 @let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

nasb@1Peter:1:1 @Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen

nasb@1Peter:1:2 @according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood- May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure.

nasb@1Peter:1:3 @Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

nasb@1Peter:1:5 @who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

nasb@1Peter:1:6 @In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials,

nasb@1Peter:1:7 @so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

nasb@1Peter:1:8 @and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,

nasb@1Peter:1:9 @obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

nasb@1Peter:1:10 @As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries,

nasb@1Peter:1:11 @seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.

nasb@1Peter:1:12 @It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven--things into which angels long to look.

nasb@1Peter:1:13 @Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

nasb@1Peter:1:17 @If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth;

nasb@1Peter:1:18 @knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers,

nasb@1Peter:1:20 @For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you

nasb@1Peter:1:21 @who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

nasb@1Peter:1:23 @for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.

nasb@1Peter:2:2 @like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation,

nasb@1Peter:2:9 @But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

nasb@1Peter:2:12 @Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation.

nasb@1Peter:2:15 @For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men.

nasb@1Peter:2:20 @For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.

nasb@1Peter:2:23 @and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously;

nasb@1Peter:2:24 @and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.

nasb@1Peter:3:1 @In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives,

nasb@1Peter:3:6 @just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.

nasb@1Peter:3:7 @You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

nasb@1Peter:3:8 @To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit;

nasb@1Peter:3:9 @not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.

nasb@1Peter:3:13 @Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good?

nasb@1Peter:3:14 @But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED,

nasb@1Peter:3:15 @but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;

nasb@1Peter:3:16 @and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.

nasb@1Peter:3:17 @For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.

nasb@1Peter:3:18 @For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

nasb@1Peter:3:19 @in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison,

nasb@1Peter:3:20 @who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water.

nasb@1Peter:3:21 @Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you-- not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

nasb@1Peter:3:22 @who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.

nasb@1Peter:4:3 @For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties and abominable idolatries.

nasb@1Peter:4:4 @In all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same excesses of dissipation, and they malign you;

nasb@1Peter:4:6 @For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God.

nasb@1Peter:4:11 @Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@1Peter:4:12 @Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you;

nasb@1Peter:4:13 @but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation.

nasb@1Peter:4:15 @Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler;

nasb@1Peter:4:17 @For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

nasb@1Peter:4:18 @AND IF IT IS WITH DIFFICULTY THAT THE RIGHTEOUS IS SAVED, WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE GODLESS MAN AND THE SINNER?

nasb@1Peter:4:19 @Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right.

nasb@1Peter:5:1 @Therefore, I exhort the elders among you, as your fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker also of the glory that is to be revealed,

nasb@1Peter:5:6 @Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time,

nasb@1Peter:5:9 @But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.

nasb@1Peter:5:12 @Through Silvanus, our faithful brother (for so I regard him), I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!

nasb@2Peter:1:3 @seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.

nasb@2Peter:1:4 @For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.

nasb@2Peter:1:9 @For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.

nasb@2Peter:1:14 @knowing that the laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, as also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

nasb@2Peter:1:15 @And I will also be diligent that at any time after my departure you will be able to call these things to mind.

nasb@2Peter:1:17 @For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, "This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased"--

nasb@2Peter:1:19 @So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.

nasb@2Peter:1:20 @But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,

nasb@2Peter:2:8 @(for by what he saw and heard that righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds),

nasb@2Peter:2:9 @then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

nasb@2Peter:2:11 @whereas angels who are greater in might and power do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord.

nasb@2Peter:2:12 @But these, like unreasoning animals, born as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, reviling where they have no knowledge, will in the destruction of those creatures also be destroyed,

nasb@2Peter:2:14 @having eyes full of adultery that never cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children;

nasb@2Peter:2:17 @These are springs without water and mists driven by a storm, for whom the black darkness has been reserved.

nasb@2Peter:2:19 @promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.

nasb@2Peter:2:20 @For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

nasb@2Peter:3:2 @that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles.

nasb@2Peter:3:3 @Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts,

nasb@2Peter:3:4 @and saying, " Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation."

nasb@2Peter:3:5 @For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water,

nasb@2Peter:3:6 @through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.

nasb@2Peter:3:8 @But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.

nasb@2Peter:3:9 @The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

nasb@2Peter:3:10 @But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.

nasb@2Peter:3:11 @Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

nasb@2Peter:3:12 @looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

nasb@2Peter:3:15 @and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you,

nasb@2Peter:3:17 @You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness,

nasb@1John:1:1 @What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life--

nasb@1John:1:2 @and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us--

nasb@1John:1:3 @what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.

nasb@1John:1:4 @These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete.

nasb@1John:1:5 @This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

nasb@1John:1:6 @If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth;

nasb@1John:1:8 @If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.

nasb@1John:1:10 @If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.

nasb@1John:2:1 @My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;

nasb@1John:2:2 @and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.

nasb@1John:2:3 @By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.

nasb@1John:2:5 @but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him-

nasb@1John:2:9 @The one who says he is in the Light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now.

nasb@1John:2:11 @But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

nasb@1John:2:13 @I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.

nasb@1John:2:14 @I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

nasb@1John:2:15 @Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

nasb@1John:2:16 @For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.

nasb@1John:2:18 @Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.

nasb@1John:2:19 @They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.

nasb@1John:2:22 @Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.

nasb@1John:2:23 @Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.

nasb@1John:2:24 @As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.

nasb@1John:2:28 @Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.

nasb@1John:2:29 @If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him.

nasb@1John:3:1 @See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

nasb@1John:3:2 @Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.

nasb@1John:3:5 @You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.

nasb@1John:3:11 @For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;

nasb@1John:3:12 @not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother's were righteous.

nasb@1John:3:13 @Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.

nasb@1John:3:14 @We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death.

nasb@1John:3:15 @Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

nasb@1John:3:16 @We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

nasb@1John:3:19 @We will know by this that we are of the truth, and will assure our heart before Him

nasb@1John:3:20 @in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and knows all things.

nasb@1John:3:22 @and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.

nasb@1John:3:23 @This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.

nasb@1John:3:24 @The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

nasb@1John:4:2 @By this you know the Spirit of God- every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;

nasb@1John:4:3 @and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.

nasb@1John:4:4 @You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

nasb@1John:4:9 @By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.

nasb@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.

nasb@1John:4:12 @No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.

nasb@1John:4:13 @By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

nasb@1John:4:14 @We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

nasb@1John:4:15 @Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

nasb@1John:4:17 @By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.

nasb@1John:4:20 @If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

nasb@1John:4:21 @And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.

nasb@1John:5:1 @Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.

nasb@1John:5:2 @By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.

nasb@1John:5:3 @For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.

nasb@1John:5:4 @For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

nasb@1John:5:5 @Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

nasb@1John:5:6 @This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

nasb@1John:5:7 @For there are three that testify-

nasb@1John:5:8 @the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.

nasb@1John:5:9 @If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that He has testified concerning His Son.

nasb@1John:5:10 @The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.

nasb@1John:5:11 @And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

nasb@1John:5:13 @These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

nasb@1John:5:14 @This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

nasb@1John:5:15 @And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.

nasb@1John:5:16 @If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for this.

nasb@1John:5:17 @All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.

nasb@1John:5:18 @We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him.

nasb@1John:5:19 @We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

nasb@1John:5:20 @And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so 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.

nasb@2John:1:3 @Grace, mercy and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

nasb@2John:1:4 @I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received commandment to do from the Father.

nasb@2John:1:5 @Now I ask you, lady, not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.

nasb@2John:1:6 @And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

nasb@2John:1:8 @Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward.

nasb@2John:1:9 @Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.

nasb@2John:1:11 @for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds.

nasb@2John:1:12 @Though I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that your joy may be made full.

nasb@1John:1:2 @Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.

nasb@1John:1:3 @For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth.

nasb@1John:1:4 @I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.

nasb@1John:1:5 @Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers;

nasb@1John:1:8 @Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers with the truth.

nasb@1John:1:9 @I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say.

nasb@1John:1:10 @For this reason, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words; and not satisfied with this, he himself does not receive the brethren, either, and he forbids those who desire to do so and puts them out of the church.

nasb@1John:1:11 @Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.

nasb@1John:1:12 @Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself; and we add our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

nasb@Jude:1:1 @Jude, a bond-servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are the called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ-

nasb@Jude:1:3 @Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints.

nasb@Jude:1:4 @For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

nasb@Jude:1:5 @Now I desire to remind you, though you know all things once for all, that the Lord, after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, subsequently destroyed those who did not believe.

nasb@Jude:1:6 @And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day,

nasb@Jude:1:12 @These are the men who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted;

nasb@Jude:1:14 @It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, " Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones,

nasb@Jude:1:16 @These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage.

nasb@Jude:1:17 @But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@Jude:1:18 @that they were saying to you, " In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts."

nasb@Jude:1:23 @save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.

nasb@Jude:1:24 @Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy,

nasb@Revelation:1:1 @The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John,
