@ DESCRIPTION: The Bible in Worldwide English (BWE)\par This New Testament was originally prepared by Annie Cressman, who died in 1993. She was a Canadian Bible teacher in Liberia in West Africa. Whilst teaching students in a Bible School where the language used was English, she found that she was spending more time explaining the meaning of the English than she was teaching the Bible itself. So she decided to write this simple version in easy English so that her students could easily understand.\par\par In 1959 the Full Gospel Publishing House in Toronto, Canada, printed a trial edition of the Gospel of Mark. A further edition was published in 1962 by the American Bible Society. The whole New Testament was first published by SOON Publications in India in 1969 in hardback form. This was assisted by Operation Mobilisation (OM) and was reprinted in 1971.\par\par The vision to reprint a new edition of the whole New Testament has now been carried out by SOON in conjunction with EPH and OM. Where a change to more modern words has been made, this has been kept in line with the the Authorised Version.
bwe@Matthew:1:1 @ Here are the names of the people in the family line from which Jesus Christ came. He came from Davids family. He came from Abrahams family.
bwe@Matthew:1:2 @ Jesus family line: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Perez (his mother was Tamar), Zezron, Ram, Amminadab, Nahshon, Salmon, Boaz (his mother was Rahab), Obed (his mother was Ruth), Jesse, David the king, Solomon (whose mother was Uriahs wife), Rehoboam, Abijah, Asa, Jehoshaphat, Joram, Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, Manasseh, Amon, Josiah, Jeconiah and his brothers (at the time the people of Israel were carried away to Babylon), Shealtiel, Zerubbabel, Abiud, Eliakim, Azor, Zadok, Achim, Eliud, Eleazor, Matthan, Jacob and Joseph who was the husband of Mary. Mary was the mother of Jesus, who is called the Christ.
bwe@Matthew:1:17 @ There were fourteen families from Abraham to David. There were fourteen families from David to the time the people were taken to Babylon. And there were fourteen families after that until Christ was born.
bwe@Matthew:1:19 @ Joseph, the man she was to marry, was a good man. He did not want her to be made ashamed. So he planned to leave her without telling people about it.
bwe@Matthew:1:20 @ While he was thinking about this, he had a dream. An angel of the Lord came to him. He said, Joseph, Davids son, do not fear to take Mary to be your wife. Her baby is by the Holy Spirit.
bwe@Matthew:1:21 @ She will have a baby son. Name him Jesus, because he will save his people from the wrong things they have done.
bwe@Matthew:1:22 @ All of this had been told long before by the Lord through his prophet. It came true.
bwe@Matthew:1:23 @ The prophet said, A young woman who has not slept with a man is going to have a baby son. His name will be Emmanuel. That means "God is with us."
bwe@Matthew:1:25 @ But he did not make love with her until her first son had been born. He named him Jesus.
bwe@Matthew:2:1 @ Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem, in the country of Judea. Herod was the king. After Jesus was born, wise men came from the east to Jerusalem.
bwe@Matthew:2:6 @ "Bethlehem in the country of Judah, you are not the least among the leaders in Judah. A leader will come from you who will rule over my people Israel."
bwe@Matthew:2:12 @ In a dream they were told not to go back to Herod. So they went home by a different road.
bwe@Matthew:2:13 @ After the wise men had gone, Joseph had a dream. An angel of the Lord came to him and said, Get up. Take the child and his mother, and go quickly to the country of Egypt. Stay there till I tell you, because Herod will try to find the child and kill him.
bwe@Matthew:2:15 @ He stayed there until Herod died. What the Lord told through his prophet long ago, came true. He said I called my son out of Egypt.
bwe@Matthew:2:17 @ So what the prophet Jeremiah said, came true.
bwe@Matthew:2:18 @ He said, A voice could be heard in the town of Ramah. Rachel was crying for her children. She would not let anyone comfort her because her children were dead.
bwe@Matthew:2:19 @ Herod died. Then Joseph had a dream. An angel of the Lord came to him in Egypt.
bwe@Matthew:2:22 @ But he heard that Archelaus was king of Judea in his father Herods place. So he was afraid to go there. In a dream he was told what to do. He went to the country of Galilee.
bwe@Matthew:2:23 @ He went and made his home in the town of Nazareth. The prophets of God long ago had said, He shall be called a man from Nazareth. What they said came true.
bwe@Matthew:3:1 @ After some years had passed, John the Baptizer came and told Gods word in the desert of Judea.
bwe@Matthew:3:4 @ John wore clothes made of camels hair and a leather belt. He ate locusts and wild honey.
bwe@Matthew:3:7 @ Many of the Pharisee group and the Sadducee group came to him to be baptised. But when he saw them, he said to them, You family of snakes! Who told you to run away from Gods anger that is coming?
bwe@Matthew:3:9 @ Do not think you can say to your-selves, "Abraham is our father." I tell you, God can make children for Abraham from these stones.
bwe@Matthew:3:11 @ I baptise you with water when you stop your wrong ways. But another person is coming after me. He is greater than I am. I am not good enough to take off his shoes. He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
bwe@Matthew:3:13 @ Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan River. He came to John to be baptised by him.
bwe@Matthew:3:16 @ After Jesus was baptised, he came up out of the water right away. The sky opened. He saw the Spirit of God coming down on him like a dove.
bwe@Matthew:3:17 @ A voice from the sky said, This is my dear Son. I am very pleased with him.
bwe@Matthew:4:3 @ The one who tries to make people do wrong came and said to him, If you are Gods Son, tell these stones to be changed into bread.
bwe@Matthew:4:11 @ Then the devil left Jesus. Angels came and took care of him.
bwe@Matthew:4:14 @ So what the prophet Isaiah said came true.
bwe@Matthew:4:18 @ Jesus was walking by the sea of Galilee. There he saw two brothers, Simon who later was named Peter, and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a fishing net into the water. Their work was to catch fish.
bwe@Matthew:4:21 @ Jesus went on from there and saw two other brothers, James and John. Their fathers name was Zebedee. They were in the boat with their father mending their nets.
bwe@Matthew:4:25 @ Many people went with him. They came from Galilee, the Ten Towns, Jerusalem, Judea, and from the other side of the Jordan river.
bwe@Matthew:5:1 @ When Jesus saw the many people, he went up on a hill. He sat down and his disciples came to him.
bwe@Matthew:5:12 @ Be happy and glad because God will be good to you in heaven. In the same way people troubled the prophets before your time.
bwe@Matthew:5:15 @ So also with a lamp. People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket. But they put it on the place for a lamp. Then all the people in the house can see its light.
bwe@Matthew:5:33 @ Also you have heard this said to men long ago, "You must not make a promise in Gods name and break it." And, "You must do for the Lord what you said you would do."
bwe@Matthew:5:34 @ But I tell you, do not make a promise in Gods name. Do not use the name of heaven, because that is where God rules.
bwe@Matthew:5:35 @ Do not use the name of earth, because that is where God rests his feet. Do not use the name of Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.
bwe@Matthew:6:9 @ So talk to your God like this: "Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
bwe@Matthew:6:13 @ "Do not test us but help us, so that no one will make us do wrong. Deliver us from the evil one. The kingdom and power and praise belong to you for ever. Amen!"
bwe@Matthew:7:17 @ In the same way, every good tree has good fruit. But a bad tree has bad fruit.
bwe@Matthew:7:22 @ Many people will say to me on that day, "Lord, Lord, did we not speak in your name? Did we not drive bad spirits out of people in your name? Did we not do big works in your name?"
bwe@Matthew:7:25 @ It rained hard. The water in the rivers came up high. The winds were strong and beat on the house. But it did not fall down. It was built on a rock.
bwe@Matthew:7:27 @ It rained hard. The water in the rivers came up high. The winds were strong and beat on the house. It fell down with a loud noise!
bwe@Matthew:8:1 @ When Jesus came down from the hill, many people followed him.
bwe@Matthew:8:2 @ A man who had leprosy <FI>a bad skin disease<Fi> came and kneeled in front of Jesus and worshipped him. He said to Jesus, Sir, I know you can heal me if you want to.
bwe@Matthew:8:5 @ When Jesus came to the town of Capernaum, a Roman army officer came to ask him for help.
bwe@Matthew:8:8 @ The officer said, Sir, I am not good enough to have you come into my house. Just say the word and my servant will be healed.
bwe@Matthew:8:9 @ I myself am a man who takes orders, and I have soldiers who take orders from me. I say to one, "Go," and he goes. I say to another one, "Come," and he comes. I say to my servant, "Do this," and he does it.
bwe@Matthew:8:11 @ I tell you, many people will come from the east and from the west. They will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
bwe@Matthew:8:13 @ Jesus said to the officer, Go home. What you have believed, will be done. At that very same time the officers servant was healed.
bwe@Matthew:8:17 @ What the prophet Isaiah said came true. He said, He took away the things that made us weak. He took away the things that made us sick.
bwe@Matthew:8:19 @ A scribe came and said to him, Teacher, I will go anywhere you go.
bwe@Matthew:8:24 @ A bad storm came on the sea. The waves were high. Water came into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.
bwe@Matthew:8:25 @ The disciples came to Jesus and woke him. Lord, save us! they shouted. We will die!
bwe@Matthew:8:28 @ Jesus came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarene people. There were graves in that place. Two men came from among the graves to meet him. They had bad spirits in them. They were so bad and strong that people feared to pass that way.
bwe@Matthew:8:32 @ Jesus said, Go! The spirits came out of the men and went into the pigs. All the pigs ran fast down the steep hill into the sea. They died in the water.
bwe@Matthew:8:34 @ All the people in the town came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged him to go away out of their country
bwe@Matthew:9:1 @ Jesus got in the boat and crossed the sea. He came to his own town.
bwe@Matthew:9:9 @ Jesus went on from there. He saw a man named Matthew. He was sitting at the place where people came to pay taxes. Jesus said to him, Come with me. Matthew stood up and went with him.
bwe@Matthew:9:10 @ Jesus was eating in a house. Many tax collectors and bad people came in. They sat down to eat with Jesus and his disciples.
bwe@Matthew:9:13 @ Go and learn what this means: "I want you to be kind. I do not want a sacrifice." I did not come to call good people. I came to call bad people to stop doing wrong things.
bwe@Matthew:9:14 @ Then Johns disciples came to Jesus. They said, We and the Pharisees fast. Why do your disciples not do the same?
bwe@Matthew:9:18 @ While Jesus was telling them these things, a ruler came to him. He bowed down in front of Jesus to worship him and said, My daughter has just died. But if you will come and put your hand on her, she will live.
bwe@Matthew:9:20 @ A woman had a sickness for twelve years. She was bleeding all the time. She came behind Jesus and touched his clothes.
bwe@Matthew:9:23 @ When Jesus came to the rulers house, he saw the music players and people making a noise.
bwe@Matthew:9:28 @ When Jesus came into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus asked them, Do you believe that I can do this? They said, Yes, sir.
bwe@Matthew:10:2 @ The names of the twelve apostles are: Simon, whose other name was Peter, and his brother Andrew, James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose other name was Thaddaeus, Simon, the freedom fighter, and Judas Iscariot, the one who gave Jesus over to people who hated him.
bwe@Matthew:10:5 @ Jesus sent out these twelve. He said to them, Do not go to the people who are not Jews. Do not go to any town of the Samaritan people.
bwe@Matthew:10:12 @ When you go into the house, greet the family with a blessing.
bwe@Matthew:10:13 @ If the family is all right, let your blessing stay on it. If it is not all right, take your blessing away.
bwe@Matthew:10:16 @ I am sending you out amongst people. You will be like sheep amongst bad animals like wolves. So be wise like snakes, and harmless like doves.
bwe@Matthew:10:29 @ Are not two sparrows worth only a small amount of money? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father knowing about it.
bwe@Matthew:10:34 @ Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but war.
bwe@Matthew:10:35 @ I came to take away peace between a man and his father. I came to take away peace between a daughter and her mother. I came to take away peace between a mans wife and his mother.
bwe@Matthew:10:36 @ A man will have people in his own family who make trouble for him.
bwe@Matthew:11:5 @ Blind people see. Lame people walk. People with leprosy are healed. People who could not hear, can hear. Dead people are made alive. Poor people hear the good news.
bwe@Matthew:11:13 @ All the prophets and the books of the law gave Gods word until John came.
bwe@Matthew:11:18 @ John came. He does not eat or drink much. People say, "He has a bad spirit in him!"
bwe@Matthew:11:19 @ The Son of Man came. He eats and drinks. People say, "This man eats and drinks too much! He is a friend with tax collectors and bad people!" But a man is proved to be wise by what he has done.
bwe@Matthew:11:29 @ Do what I tell you. Learn what I teach you. I am gentle. I am not proud. Then your hearts will rest.
bwe@Matthew:12:17 @ So what Isaiah the prophet of God said, came true.
bwe@Matthew:12:18 @ He said, This is my servant. I have chosen him. I love him. I am very pleased with him. I will put my Spirit on him. He will judge the people who are not Jews.
bwe@Matthew:12:25 @ Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said to them, If one part of any country fights against the other part of the country, that country is broken down. If one part of any city or family fights against the other part of it, it cannot stand.
bwe@Matthew:12:34 @ You family of snakes! How can you say good things? You are wrong! The mouth will say what is in the heart.
bwe@Matthew:12:42 @ When people are judged, the Queen of the South will stand up and speak against the people of today. She came a long way to hear the wise talk of Solomon. And the one who is here is greater than Solomon.
bwe@Matthew:12:44 @ Then he says, "I will go back to my house from where I came." When he comes back, he finds it is empty, clean, and all fixed up.
bwe@Matthew:13:2 @ Many people came to where he was. So he got into a boat and sat down. All the people stood on the land by the water.
bwe@Matthew:13:4 @ As he sowed it, some of the seed fell on the road. Birds came and ate the seed.
bwe@Matthew:13:7 @ Some seed fell among the weeds. The weeds grew up and made the new plants die.
bwe@Matthew:13:10 @ The disciples came to Jesus and asked him, Why do you tell the people these stories?
bwe@Matthew:13:22 @ Some seed fell among the weeds. That is like the person who hears the message. But he thinks about the things of this world. He wants to get money to be happy. These things push the message out of his heart. No good comes from it.
bwe@Matthew:13:25 @ While people were sleeping, a bad man came and sowed weeds among the good seed. Then he went away.
bwe@Matthew:13:27 @ The servants came and said to the man who owned the field, "Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How did the weeds get here?"
bwe@Matthew:13:35 @ What the prophet of God said long ago, came true. He said, I will use stories. I will tell things that have been secret since the world was made.
bwe@Matthew:13:36 @ Then Jesus left the people and went into the house. His disciples came to him. They said, Tell us the meaning of the story about the weeds in the field.
bwe@Matthew:13:55 @ Is he not the carpenters son? Is not Mary his mother? Are not James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas his brothers?
bwe@Matthew:14:12 @ Then Johns disciples came and took his body and buried it. They went and told Jesus.
bwe@Matthew:14:15 @ In the evening the disciples came to him. They said, This is a lonely place. And the time is late. Send these people away so they can go to the farms and villages to buy food for themselves.
bwe@Matthew:14:23 @ After he had sent them away, he went up on the hill by himself to talk with God. Evening came and he was there alone.
bwe@Matthew:14:25 @ When it was almost morning, Jesus came to them. He was walking on the water.
bwe@Matthew:14:34 @ They crossed over the sea and came to the land at Gennesaret.
bwe@Matthew:15:1 @ Then some Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came to Jesus.
bwe@Matthew:15:12 @ Then the disciples came to Jesus. They said, The Pharisees were angry when they heard what you said. Did you know that?
bwe@Matthew:15:22 @ Jesus did not answer her. His disciples came to him and said, Send her away. She keeps calling after us.
bwe@Matthew:15:24 @ But the woman came and bowed down in front of Jesus and worshipped him. She said, Sir, help me.
bwe@Matthew:15:29 @ Many people came to him. They brought sick people with them. Some were lame. Some were hurt. Some were blind. Some could not talk. And there were many others. They laid them down in front of Jesus. And he healed them.
bwe@Matthew:15:30 @ The people were surprised. They saw that people who had not been able to talk were talking. They saw that people who were hurt were made well. They saw that lame people were walking. They saw that blind people could see. And they praised the God of Israel.
bwe@Matthew:16:1 @ The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus. They wanted to test him, so they asked him to show them a sign from the sky.
bwe@Matthew:16:13 @ Jesus went to the country of Caesarea Philippi. He asked his disciples, I am the Son of Man. Whom do people say I am?
bwe@Matthew:16:15 @ Jesus said to them, Whom do you say I am?
bwe@Matthew:16:20 @ Then Jesus said to the disciples, Do not tell anyone that I am the Christ.
bwe@Matthew:17:1 @ Six days after this, Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John with him. He led them up a hill by themselves.
bwe@Matthew:17:5 @ While he was saying this, a bright cloud came over them. A voice in the cloud said, This is my dear Son. I am very pleased with him. Listen to him.
bwe@Matthew:17:7 @ But Jesus came and touched them. He said, Get up. Do not fear.
bwe@Matthew:17:9 @ When they came down the hill, Jesus said to them, Do not tell anyone what you saw. Do not tell it until after the Son of Man has been raised from death.
bwe@Matthew:17:14 @ They came to the people. A man came and kneeled in front of Jesus.
bwe@Matthew:17:18 @ Jesus talked to the bad spirit and he came out of the boy. The boy was healed.
bwe@Matthew:17:19 @ Then the disciples came to Jesus alone. They asked him, Why could we not drive the bad spirit out?
bwe@Matthew:17:24 @ They came to Capernaum. There the men who were collecting the tax for the temple came to Peter. They asked him, Does not your teacher pay the tax for the temple?
bwe@Matthew:17:25 @ Peter said, Yes, he does. When he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him about it first. He said, Simon, what do you think? From whom do kings on earth take taxes? Do they take them from their own people or from other people?
bwe@Matthew:18:1 @ The disciples came to Jesus at that time. They said, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
bwe@Matthew:18:11 @ The Son of Man came to save anyone who is lost.
bwe@Matthew:18:14 @ In the same way, my Father in heaven does not want one of these little children to be lost.
bwe@Matthew:18:20 @ Where two or three people meet together in my name, I am there with them.
bwe@Matthew:18:21 @ Then Peter came to Jesus and asked him, Lord, how many times should I forgive my brother when he does wrong things to me? Should I forgive him seven times?
bwe@Matthew:18:28 @ That same servant went out and met another servant. This man owed him a much smaller sum of money. He caught him by the throat and said, Pay me what you owe me!"
bwe@Matthew:19:3 @ The Pharisees came to Jesus to test him. They asked, Is it right for a man to send his wife away from him for any reason?
bwe@Matthew:19:16 @ A man came to Jesus and said, Teacher, what good thing must I do so that I will live for ever?
bwe@Matthew:19:24 @ And I tell you this also. It is easier for a big animal like a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
bwe@Matthew:20:5 @ The man went out again at twelve oclock and at three oclock. He did the same as he had done before.
bwe@Matthew:20:8 @ When evening came, the man who owned the farm said to his manager, "Call the workmen and pay them. Begin with those who came last and end with those who came first."
bwe@Matthew:20:12 @ They said, "These men came last, and worked only one hour. Yet you paid them the same as you paid us. We worked all day, when the sun was hot."
bwe@Matthew:20:13 @ But he said to one of them, "My friend, I am not doing any wrong to you. You agreed that I should pay you a days wages. Did you not?
bwe@Matthew:20:14 @ Take your money and go. I want to give the last man the same pay as I gave you.
bwe@Matthew:20:16 @ In the same way, people who are last will be first, and those who are first will be last.
bwe@Matthew:20:20 @ Then Zebedees wife came with her sons to Jesus. She bowed down in front of him and asked him to do something for her.
bwe@Matthew:20:26 @ But that is not the way it is among you. Anyone among you who wants to be great will help the others.
bwe@Matthew:20:27 @ Anyone among you who wants to be first will be a servant to the others.
bwe@Matthew:20:28 @ The Son of Man did not come to have others help him. But he came to help others. He came to give his life to make many people free.
bwe@Matthew:21:1 @ Jesus and his disciples came near to Jerusalem. They came to the village of Bethphage by the hill called the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus sent two of his disciples ahead.
bwe@Matthew:21:4 @ This happened, and what the prophet of God said long ago, came true.
bwe@Matthew:21:9 @ People in front of him and people behind him shouted, Praise the Son of David! God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord! Praise him in heaven!
bwe@Matthew:21:10 @ When Jesus came into Jerusalem, all the people there were very excited. They said, Who is this?
bwe@Matthew:21:14 @ Blind people came to Jesus in the temple. People who could not walk came to him. And he healed them.
bwe@Matthew:21:23 @ He came to the temple and went in and taught the people. The chief priests and the leaders of the people came to him. They asked, What right have you to do these things? Who gave you the right to do them?
bwe@Matthew:21:30 @ The man went to the second son and said the same thing. The son answered, "Yes, sir, I will go." But he did not go.
bwe@Matthew:21:32 @ John came to you to tell you the right way. But you did not believe him. The tax collectors and women who commit adultery believed him. And even when you saw that, you did not change your minds and believe him.
bwe@Matthew:21:36 @ Then the man sent other servants. There were more than the first time. The men did the same to them.
bwe@Matthew:22:11 @ The king came in to look at the people. He saw one man there who was not wearing the right clothes for a wedding.
bwe@Matthew:22:20 @ Whose picture and name is this? he asked.
bwe@Matthew:22:23 @ The same day some of the Sadducees came to Jesus. They say that people do not rise from death.
bwe@Matthew:22:24 @ They came to ask him a question. They said, Teacher, Moses gave us this law: "If a man dies and has no children, then his brother must marry the wife and raise a family for his brother."
bwe@Matthew:22:25 @ There were seven brothers among us. The first one married. He died and left no children. So his brother married the wife.
bwe@Matthew:22:26 @ The same thing happened to the second brother, and the third one, and all seven of them.
bwe@Matthew:22:32 @ He said, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." He is not the God of dead people, but of living people.
bwe@Matthew:23:11 @ The person who is greatest among you will help the others.
bwe@Matthew:23:16 @ You blind leaders will have trouble. You say that if anyone makes a promise in the name of the temple, he does not have to keep that promise. But if anyone makes a promise in the name of the gold on the temple, he must keep that promise.
bwe@Matthew:23:18 @ And you say that if anyone makes a promise in the name of Gods altar, he does not have to keep that promise. But if anyone makes a promise in the name of the sacrifice, he must keep that promise.
bwe@Matthew:23:24 @ You blind leaders! You take a fly out of your cup, but you drink down a big animal like a camel!
bwe@Matthew:23:33 @ You snakes-a whole family of snakes! You cannot get away! You will be judged and sent to hell.
bwe@Matthew:23:39 @ I tell you this. You will not see me again until the time when you say, "God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord."
bwe@Matthew:24:1 @ Jesus left the temple and was going away. His disciples came to him. They wanted to show him the different buildings that were a part of the temple.
bwe@Matthew:24:3 @ Jesus was sitting on the hill called the Mount of Olives. The disciples came to him alone. They said, Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign to show you are coming and that it is the end of this world?
bwe@Matthew:24:5 @ Many men will come in my name. They will say, "I am the Christ". They will fool many people.
bwe@Matthew:24:33 @ It is the same when you see all these things. You will know that the time is very near, right at the door.
bwe@Matthew:24:39 @ The people did not know until much water came and killed them all. When the Son of Man comes, it will be like that.
bwe@Matthew:25:1 @ Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten young women took their lamps and went to meet a man who was being married.
bwe@Matthew:25:3 @ The five foolish women took their lamps but took no oil with them.
bwe@Matthew:25:4 @ The wise ones took bottles of oil with their lamps.
bwe@Matthew:25:5 @ It was a long time before the man came, so they all went to sleep.
bwe@Matthew:25:7 @ Then all the young women woke up. They cleaned their lamps.
bwe@Matthew:25:8 @ The foolish ones said to the wise ones, "Give us some of your oil. The light in our lamps is dying."
bwe@Matthew:25:10 @ While they went away to buy oil, the man came. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast. Then the door was shut.
bwe@Matthew:25:11 @ After that, the other women also came. They called, "Sir, sir, open the door for us."
bwe@Matthew:25:17 @ The servant who had two bags of money did the same thing as the one who had five bags. He also made two bags of money more than he had at first.
bwe@Matthew:25:19 @ After a long time, the master of those servants came home. He asked what they had done with his money.
bwe@Matthew:25:22 @ The servant who had been given two bags of money came and said to his master, "Sir, you gave me two bags of money. I have made two bags more money."
bwe@Matthew:25:24 @ The servant who had been given one bag of money came and said, "Sir, I knew that you were a hard man. You cut grain where you did not plant. You pick fruit where you put nothing in.
bwe@Matthew:25:27 @ You should have put my money in the bank. Then when I came home, I would have had my money with interest on it.
