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

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:1:23" @ 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" @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:2:6 @' 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:2:11 @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:2:16 @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:2:18" @ 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:2:23 @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:2:2" @ Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

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:2:9 @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:2:14 @But John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?"

nasb@Matthew:2:16 @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:3:2 @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:3:13 @and leaving Nazareth, He came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.

nasb@Matthew:3:15" @ 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:4:6" @Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

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:4:15 @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:4:18" @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:4:29" @ 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:4:32 @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:4:38" @ You have heard that it was said, ' AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.'

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

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:4:2" @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:4:12 @'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:4:17" @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:4:24" @ 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:4:30" @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:4:33" @But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

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:4:4" @ 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:4:12" @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:4:19" @ Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

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

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:5:15 @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:5:19 @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:5:24 @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:5:29 @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:5:32 @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:6:13" @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:6:22 @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:6:28 @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:6:30 @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:6:33 @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:6:35 @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: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:7:7" @And as you go, preach, saying, ' The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'

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:7:15" @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:7:21" @ 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:7:25" @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:7:27" @ 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:7:35" @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:8:3 @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:8:9" @But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and one who is more than a prophet.

nasb@Matthew:8:12" @ 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:8:17 @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:8:21" @ 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:8:27" @ 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:9:3 @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:9:7" @But if you had known what this means, ' I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT A SACRIFICE,' you would not have condemned the innocent.

nasb@Matthew:9:10 @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:9:13 @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:9:18" @ 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:9:20" @ 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:9:25 @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:9:29" @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:9:33" @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:9:35" @ 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:9:37" @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:10:10 @And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?"

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:10:19" @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:10:25" @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:10:30 @'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:10:36 @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:10:44" @ 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:10:46 @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:10:52 @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:10:54 @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:11:2 @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:11:6 @But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod,

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:11:17 @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:11:28 @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:11:33 @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:11:6 @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:11:10 @After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, "Hear and understand.

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:11:16 @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:11:28 @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:11:34 @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:12:3" @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:12:9" @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:12:14 @And they said, "Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."

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:12:21 @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:12:26" @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:13:14 @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:13:27" @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:14:5" @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:14:8" @ 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:14:12" @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:14:15" @ If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.

nasb@Matthew:14:17" @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:14:21 @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:14:24" @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:14:34" @And his lord, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed him.

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

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

nasb@Matthew:15:12" @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:15:21 @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:15:23 @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:15:25 @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:15:3" @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:15:8" @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:15:11" @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:15:16" @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:15:23 @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:15:27 @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:15:30 @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:15:32 @And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, "What do you want Me to do for you?"

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:16:5" @ 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:16:11 @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:16:19 @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:16:25" @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:16:27 @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:16:35" @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:16:38" @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:16:41 @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:16:3" @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:16:5" @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:16:9 @'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:16:12 @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:16:15 @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:16:18 @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: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: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:18:9" @ 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:18:14" @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:18:19" @But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

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:18:27" @ 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:18:29" @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:18:35" @ 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:18:38" @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:18:43" @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:18:45" @ 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:18:49 @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:18:5" @Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep.

nasb@Matthew:18:7" @Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.

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:18:14" @ 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:18:18" @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:18:35 @'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:18:2" @ 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:18:7 @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:18:15 @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:18:17 @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:18:23 @And He answered, " He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me.

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:18:31 @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:18:36 @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:18:49 @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:18:53" @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:18:55 @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:18:61 @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:18:67 @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:18:71 @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:19:5 @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:19:9 @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:19:14 @And He did not answer him with regard to even a single charge, so the governor was quite amazed.

nasb@Matthew:19:18 @For he knew that because of envy they had handed Him over.

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:19:23 @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:19:33 @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:19:45 @Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour.

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:19:50 @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:19:56 @Among them was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

nasb@Matthew:19:58 @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:19:66 @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:20:7" @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:20:18 @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:1:5 @And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

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:1:7 @And he was preaching, and saying, "After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals.

nasb@Mark:1:9 @In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

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:1:11 @and a voice came out of the heavens- " You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased."

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:1:16 @As He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.

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

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:1:23 @Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

nasb@Mark:1:25 @And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!"

nasb@Mark:1:26 @Throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit cried out with a loud voice and came out of him.

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:1:29 @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:1:31 @And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she waited on them.

nasb@Mark:1:32 @When evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon-possessed.

nasb@Mark:1:33 @And the whole city had gathered at the door.

nasb@Mark:1:34 @And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.

nasb@Mark:1:35 @In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there.

nasb@Mark:1:36 @Simon and his companions searched for Him;

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

nasb@Mark:1:39 @And He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out the demons.

nasb@Mark:1:40 @And a leper came to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."

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

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:2:2 @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:2:3 @And they came, bringing to Him a paralytic, carried by four men.

nasb@Mark:2:4 @Being unable to get to Him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Him; and when they had dug an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying.

nasb@Mark:2:5 @And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, " Son, your sins are forgiven."

nasb@Mark:2:6 @But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,

nasb@Mark:2:9" @Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven'; or to say, 'Get up, and pick up your pallet and walk'?

nasb@Mark:2:11" @I say to you, get up, pick up your pallet and go home."

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:2:13 @And He went out again by the seashore; and all the people were coming to Him, and He was teaching them.

nasb@Mark:2:14 @As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting in the tax booth, and He said to him, " Follow Me!" And he got up and followed Him.

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:2:17 @And hearing this, Jesus said to them, " It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

nasb@Mark:2:18 @John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and they came and said to Him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?"

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:2:22" @No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins."

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:2:25 @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:3:1 @He entered again into a synagogue; and a man was there whose hand was withered.

nasb@Mark:3:3 @He said to the man with the withered hand, "Get up and come forward!"

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:3:11 @Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they would fall down before Him and shout, "You are the Son of God!"

nasb@Mark:3:12 @And He earnestly warned them not to tell who He was.

nasb@Mark:3:13 @And He went up on the mountain and summoned those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to 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:3:15 @and to have authority to cast out the demons.

nasb@Mark:3:16 @And He appointed the twelve- Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter),

nasb@Mark:3:17 @and James, the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, which means, "Sons of Thunder");

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:3:19 @and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.

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:3:22 @The scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, "He is possessed by Beelzebul," and " He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons."

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:3:27" @ But no one can enter the strong man's house and plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.

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:3:31 @Then His mother and His brothers arrived, and standing outside they sent word to Him and called Him.

nasb@Mark:3:32 @A crowd was sitting around Him, and they said to Him, "Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are outside looking for You."

nasb@Mark:3:33 @Answering them, He said, "Who are My mother and My brothers?"

nasb@Mark:3:34 @Looking about at those who were sitting around Him, He said, " Behold My mother and My brothers!

nasb@Mark:3:35" @For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother."

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:4:2 @And He was teaching them many things in parables, and was saying to them in His teaching,

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:4:6" @And after the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

nasb@Mark:4:7" @Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no crop.

nasb@Mark:4:8" @Other seeds fell into the good soil, and as they grew up and increased, they yielded a crop and produced thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold."

nasb@Mark:4:9 @And He was saying, " He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

nasb@Mark:4:11 @And He was saying to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but those who are outside get everything in parables,

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

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:4:17 @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:4:18" @And others are the ones on whom seed was sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,

nasb@Mark:4:19 @but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

nasb@Mark:4:20" @And those are the ones on whom seed was sown on the good soil; and they hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold."

nasb@Mark:4:21 @And He was saying to them, " A lamp is not brought to be put under a basket, is it, or under a bed? Is it not brought to be put on the lampstand?

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:4:26 @And He was saying, "The kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil;

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:4:30 @And He said, "How shall we picture the kingdom of God, or by what parable shall we present it?

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:4:36 @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:4:39 @And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Hush, be still." And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm.

nasb@Mark:4:40 @And He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?"

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:5:3 @and he had his dwelling among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him anymore, even with a chain;

nasb@Mark:5:4 @because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces, and no one was strong enough to subdue him.

nasb@Mark:5:5 @Constantly, night and day, he was screaming among the tombs and in the mountains, and gashing himself with stones.

nasb@Mark:5:6 @Seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran up and bowed down before 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:5:10 @And he began to implore Him earnestly not to send them out of the country.

nasb@Mark:5:13 @Jesus gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they were drowned in the sea.

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:5:15 @They came to Jesus and observed the man who had been demon-possessed sitting down, clothed and in his right mind, the very man who had had the " legion"; and they became frightened.

nasb@Mark:5:16 @Those who had seen it described to them how it had happened to the demon-possessed man, and all about the swine.

nasb@Mark:5:17 @And they began to implore Him to leave their region.

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:5:24 @And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him.

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:5:27 @after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

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:5:31 @And His disciples said to Him, "You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, 'Who touched Me?'"

nasb@Mark:5:32 @And He looked around to see the woman who had done this.

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:5:34 @And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your affliction."

nasb@Mark:5:37 @And He allowed no one to accompany Him, except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

nasb@Mark:5:38 @They came to the house of the synagogue official; and He saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing.

nasb@Mark:5:39 @And entering in, He said to them, "Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is asleep."

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:6:1 @Jesus went out from there and came into His hometown; and His disciples followed Him.

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:6:7 @And He summoned the twelve and began to send them out in pairs, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits;

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:6:9 @but to wear sandals; and He added, "Do not put on two tunics."

nasb@Mark:6:10 @And He said to them, "Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave town.

nasb@Mark:6:12 @They went out and preached that men should repent.

nasb@Mark:6:13 @And they were casting out many demons and were anointing with oil many sick people and healing them.

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:6:15 @But others were saying, "He is Elijah." And others were saying, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old."

nasb@Mark:6:17 @For Herod himself had sent and had John arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he had married her.

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:6:29 @When his disciples heard about this, they came and took away his body and laid it in a tomb.

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:6:33 @The people saw them going, and many recognized them and ran there together on foot from all the cities, and got there ahead of them.

nasb@Mark:6:34 @When Jesus went ashore, He saw a large crowd, and He felt compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things.

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

nasb@Mark:6:39 @And He commanded them all to sit down by groups on the green grass.

nasb@Mark:6:40 @They sat down in groups of hundreds and of fifties.

nasb@Mark:6:41 @And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food and broke the loaves and He kept giving them to the disciples to set before them; and He divided up the two fish among them all.

nasb@Mark:6:42 @They all ate and were satisfied,

nasb@Mark:6:43 @and they picked up twelve full baskets of the broken pieces, and also of the fish.

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:6:55 @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:7:6 @And He said to them, "Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written- ' THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.

nasb@Mark:7:8" @Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men."

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:7:13 @thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that."

nasb@Mark:7:14 @After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, "Listen to Me, all of you, and understand-

nasb@Mark:7:17 @When he had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable.

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:7:22 @deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness.

nasb@Mark:7:23" @All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man."

nasb@Mark:7:24 @Jesus got up and went away from there to the region of Tyre. And when He had entered a house, He wanted no one to know of it; yet He could not escape notice.

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:7:26 @Now the woman was a Gentile, of the Syrophoenician race. And she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

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:7:28 @But she answered and said to Him, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table feed on the children's crumbs."

nasb@Mark:7:29 @And He said to her, "Because of this answer go; the demon has gone out of your daughter."

nasb@Mark:7:30 @And going back to her home, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.

nasb@Mark:7:31 @Again He went out from the region of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, within the region of Decapolis.

nasb@Mark:7:32 @They brought to Him one who was deaf and spoke with difficulty, and they implored Him to lay His hand on him.

nasb@Mark:7:33 @Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put His fingers into his ears, and after spitting, He touched his tongue with the saliva;

nasb@Mark:7:34 @and looking up to heaven with a deep sigh, He said to him, "Ephphatha!" that is, "Be opened!"

nasb@Mark:7:35 @And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking plainly.

nasb@Mark:7:36 @And He gave them orders not to tell anyone; but the more He ordered them, the more widely they continued to proclaim it.

nasb@Mark:7:37 @They were utterly astonished, saying, "He has done all things well; He makes even the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."

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:7:5 @And He was asking them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven."

nasb@Mark:7:6 @And He directed the people to sit down on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and broke them, and started giving them to His disciples to serve to them, and they served them to the people.

nasb@Mark:7:7 @They also had a few small fish; and after He had blessed them, He ordered these to be served as well.

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:7:9 @About four thousand were there; and He sent them away.

nasb@Mark:7:10 @And immediately He entered the boat with His disciples and came to the district of Dalmanutha.

nasb@Mark:7:11 @The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, to test Him.

nasb@Mark:7:13 @Leaving them, He again embarked and went away to the other side.

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:7:17 @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:7:18" @ HAVING EYES, DO YOU NOT SEE? AND HAVING EARS, DO YOU NOT HEAR? And do you not remember,

nasb@Mark:7:19 @when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces you picked up?" They said to Him, "Twelve."

nasb@Mark:7:20" @When I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?" And they said to Him, "Seven."

nasb@Mark:7:21 @And He was saying to them, " Do you not yet understand?"

nasb@Mark:7:22 @And they came to Bethsaida. And they brought a blind man to Jesus and implored Him to touch him.

nasb@Mark:7:23 @Taking the blind man by the hand, He brought him out of the village; and after spitting on his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him, "Do you see anything?"

nasb@Mark:7:24 @And he looked up and said, "I see men, for I see them like trees, walking around."

nasb@Mark:7:25 @Then again He laid His hands on his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and began to see everything clearly.

nasb@Mark:7:26 @And He sent him to his home, saying, "Do not even enter the village."

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:7:28 @They told Him, saying, "John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets."

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:7:30 @And He warned them to tell no one about Him.

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:7:34 @And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.

nasb@Mark:7:35" @For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it.

nasb@Mark:7:36" @For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit 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:8:3 @and His garments became radiant and exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

nasb@Mark:8:4 @Elijah appeared to them along with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.

nasb@Mark:8:5 @Peter said to Jesus, " Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

nasb@Mark:8:7 @Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, " This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!"

nasb@Mark:8:8 @All at once they looked around and saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.

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:8:14 @When they came back to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them.

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:8:17 @And one of the crowd answered Him, "Teacher, I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him mute;

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:8:23 @And Jesus said to him, " 'If You can?' All things are possible to him who believes."

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:8:27 @But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him; and he got up.

nasb@Mark:8:29 @And He said to them, "This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer."

nasb@Mark:8:30 @From there they went out and began to go through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know about it.

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:8:35 @Sitting down, He called the twelve and said to them, " If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all."

nasb@Mark:8:36 @Taking a child, He set him before them, and taking him in His arms, He said to them,

nasb@Mark:8:37" @ Whoever receives one child like this in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me."

nasb@Mark:8:38 @John said to Him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us."

nasb@Mark:8:39 @But Jesus said, "Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me.

nasb@Mark:8:43" @ If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life crippled, than, having your two hands, to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire,

nasb@Mark:8:44 @[ where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.]

nasb@Mark:8:46 @[ where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.]

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:9:2 @Some Pharisees came up to Jesus, testing Him, and began to question Him whether it was lawful for a man to divorce a wife.

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:9:5 @But Jesus said to them, " Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.

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:9:8 @AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh.

nasb@Mark:9:11 @And He said to them, " Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;

nasb@Mark:9:12 @and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery."

nasb@Mark:9:13 @And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.

nasb@Mark:9:14 @But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

nasb@Mark:9:16 @And He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them.

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:9:18 @And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

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:9:20 @And he said to Him, "Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth up."

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:9:23 @And Jesus, looking around, said to His disciples, " How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!"

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:9:26 @They were even more astonished and said to Him, "Then who can be saved?"

nasb@Mark:9:28 @Peter began to say to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You."

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:9:31" @But many who are first will be last, and the last, first."

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:9:39 @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:9:41 @Hearing this, the ten began to feel indignant with James and John.

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:9:44 @and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all.

nasb@Mark:9:45" @For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

nasb@Mark:9:46 @Then they came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road.

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:9:49 @And Jesus stopped and said, "Call him here." So they called the blind man, saying to him, " Take courage, stand up! He is calling for you."

nasb@Mark:9:50 @Throwing aside his cloak, he jumped up and came to Jesus.

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:10:6 @They spoke to them just as Jesus had told them, and they gave them permission.

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:10:9 @Those who went in front and those who followed were shouting- "Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD;

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:10:16 @and He would not permit anyone to carry merchandise through the temple.

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:10:22 @And Jesus answered saying to them, " Have faith in God.

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:10:27 @They came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to Him,

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:10:3" @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:10:7" @But those vine-growers said to one another, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!'

nasb@Mark:10:8" @They took him, and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.

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:10:11 @THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES'?"

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:10:16 @They brought one. And He said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" And they said to Him, "Caesar's."

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:10:20" @There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no children.

nasb@Mark:10:21" @The second one married her, and died leaving behind no children; and the third likewise;

nasb@Mark:10:22 @and so all seven left no children. Last of all the woman died also.

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:10:28 @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:10:33 @AND TO LOVE HIM WITH ALL THE HEART AND WITH ALL THE UNDERSTANDING AND WITH ALL THE STRENGTH, AND TO LOVE ONE'S NEIGHBOR AS HIMSELF, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."

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:10:38 @In His teaching He was saying- "Beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long robes, and like respectful greetings in the market places,

nasb@Mark:10:39 @and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets,

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:12:5" @For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor." And they were scolding her.

nasb@Mark:12:7" @For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.

nasb@Mark:12:8" @She has done what she could; she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial.

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:12:14 @and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"'

nasb@Mark:12:15" @And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there."

nasb@Mark:12:16 @The disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

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:12:19 @They began to be grieved and to say to Him one by one, "Surely not I?"

nasb@Mark:12:20 @And He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who dips with Me in the bowl.

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:12:23 @And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

nasb@Mark:12:24 @And He said to them, "This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

nasb@Mark:12:27 @And Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away, because it is written, ' I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP SHALL BE SCATTERED.'

nasb@Mark:12:30 @And Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, that this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times."

nasb@Mark:12:31 @But Peter kept saying insistently, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" And they all were saying the same thing also.

nasb@Mark:12:32 @They came to a place named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sit here until I have prayed."

nasb@Mark:12:33 @And He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be very distressed and troubled.

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:12:39 @Again He went away and prayed, saying the same words.

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:12:41 @And He came the third time, and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

nasb@Mark:12:42" @Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"

nasb@Mark:12:43 @Immediately while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came up accompanied by a crowd with swords and clubs, who were from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

nasb@Mark:12:44 @Now he who was betraying Him had given them a signal, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him and lead Him away under guard."

nasb@Mark:12:45 @After coming, Judas immediately went to Him, saying, " Rabbi!" and kissed Him.

nasb@Mark:12:46 @They laid hands on Him and seized Him.

nasb@Mark:12:47 @But one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.

nasb@Mark:12:48 @And Jesus said to them, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as you would against a robber?

nasb@Mark:12:49" @Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me; but this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures."

nasb@Mark:12:50 @And they all left Him and fled.

nasb@Mark:12:51 @A young man was following Him, wearing nothing but a linen sheet over his naked body; and they seized him.

nasb@Mark:12:52 @But he pulled free of the linen sheet and escaped naked.

nasb@Mark:12:53 @They led Jesus away to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes gathered together.

nasb@Mark:12:54 @Peter had followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself at the fire.

nasb@Mark:12:55 @Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, and they were not finding any.

nasb@Mark:12:57 @Some stood up and began to give false testimony against Him, saying,

nasb@Mark:12:58" @We heard Him say, ' I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'"

nasb@Mark:12:60 @The high priest stood up and came forward and questioned Jesus, saying, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?"

nasb@Mark:12:61 @But He kept silent and did not answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"

nasb@Mark:12:62 @And Jesus said, "I am; and you shall see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN."

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:12:67 @and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You also were with Jesus the Nazarene."

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:12:69 @The servant-girl saw him, and began once more to say to the bystanders, "This is one of them!"

nasb@Mark:12:70 @But again he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, "Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean too."

nasb@Mark:12:71 @But he began to curse and swear, "I do not know this man you are talking about!"

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:13:1 @Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole Council, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate.

nasb@Mark:13:2 @Pilate questioned Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered him, "It is as you say."

nasb@Mark:13:8 @The crowd went up and began asking him to do as he had been accustomed to do for them.

nasb@Mark:13:10 @For he was aware that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.

nasb@Mark:13:15 @Wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

nasb@Mark:13:16 @The soldiers took Him away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium), and they called together the whole Roman cohort.

nasb@Mark:13:17 @They dressed Him up in purple, and after twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on Him;

nasb@Mark:13:18 @and they began to acclaim Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

nasb@Mark:13:19 @They kept beating His head with a reed, and spitting on Him, and kneeling and bowing before Him.

nasb@Mark:13:20 @After they had mocked Him, they took the purple robe off Him and put His own garments on Him. And they led Him out to crucify Him.

nasb@Mark:13:21 @They pressed into service a passer-by coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus), to bear His cross.

nasb@Mark:13:24 @And they crucified Him, and divided up His garments among themselves, casting lots for them to decide what each man should take.

nasb@Mark:13:27 @They crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left.

nasb@Mark:13:28 @[ And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And He was numbered with transgressors."]

nasb@Mark:13:29 @Those passing by were hurling abuse at Him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,

nasb@Mark:13:30 @save Yourself, and come down from the cross!"

nasb@Mark:13:31 @In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves and saying, " He saved others; He cannot save Himself.

nasb@Mark:13:32" @Let this Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!" Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.

nasb@Mark:13:33 @When the sixth hour came, darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour.

nasb@Mark:13:35 @When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, "Behold, He is calling for Elijah."

nasb@Mark:13:36 @Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, "Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down."

nasb@Mark:13:37 @And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His last.

nasb@Mark:13:38 @And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

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:13:40 @There were also some women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less and Joses, and Salome.

nasb@Mark:13:41 @When He was in Galilee, they used to follow Him and minister to Him; and there were many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

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:13:45 @And ascertaining this from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

nasb@Mark:13:46 @Joseph bought a linen cloth, took Him down, wrapped Him in the linen cloth and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.

nasb@Mark:13:47 @Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where He was laid.

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:14:5 @Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe; and they were amazed.

nasb@Mark:14:6 @And he said to them, " Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him.

nasb@Mark:14:7" @But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ' He is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you.'"

nasb@Mark:14:8 @They went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had gripped them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

nasb@Mark:14:10 @She went and reported to those who had been with Him, while they were mourning and weeping.

nasb@Mark:14:11 @When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they refused to believe it.

nasb@Mark:14:13 @They went away and reported it to the others, but they did not believe them either.

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:14:16" @ He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.

nasb@Mark:14:18 @they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

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:1:2 @just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word,

nasb@Luke:1:5 @In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

nasb@Luke:1:6 @They were both righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord.

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

nasb@Luke:1:9 @according to the custom of the priestly office, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.

nasb@Luke:1:10 @And the whole multitude of the people were in prayer outside at the hour of the incense offering.

nasb@Luke:1:11 @And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense.

nasb@Luke:1:12 @Zacharias was troubled when he saw the angel, and fear gripped him.

nasb@Luke:1:13 @But the angel said to him, " Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will give him the name John.

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:1:16" @And he will turn many of the sons of Israel back to the Lord their God.

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:1:18 @Zacharias said to the angel, "How will I know this for certain? For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years."

nasb@Luke:1:19 @The angel answered and said to him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.

nasb@Luke:1:20" @And behold, you shall be silent and unable to speak until the day when these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time."

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:1:24 @After these days Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself in seclusion for five months, saying,

nasb@Luke:1:27 @to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

nasb@Luke:1:28 @And coming in, he said to her, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you."

nasb@Luke:1:29 @But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was.

nasb@Luke:1:31" @And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus.

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:1:33 @and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end."

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:1:38 @And Mary said, "Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.

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

nasb@Luke:1:41 @When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Luke:1:42 @And she cried out with a loud voice and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

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:1:46 @And Mary said- " My soul exalts the Lord,

nasb@Luke:1:47 @And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

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:1:52" @He has brought down rulers from their thrones, And has exalted those who were humble.

nasb@Luke:1:53" @ HE HAS FILLED THE HUNGRY WITH GOOD THINGS; And sent away the rich empty-handed.

nasb@Luke:1:55 @As He spoke to our fathers, To Abraham and his descendants forever."

nasb@Luke:1:56 @And Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her home.

nasb@Luke:1:57 @Now the time had come for Elizabeth to give birth, and she gave birth to a son.

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:1:60 @But his mother answered and said, "No indeed; but he shall be called John."

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:1:63 @And he asked for a tablet and wrote as follows, " His name is John." And they were all astonished.

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:1:68" @ Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, For He has visited us and accomplished redemption for His people,

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:1:74 @To grant us that we, being rescued from the hand of our enemies, Might serve Him without fear,

nasb@Luke:1:75 @In holiness and righteousness before Him all our days.

nasb@Luke:1:76" @And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; For you will go on BEFORE THE LORD TO PREPARE HIS WAYS;

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:1:80 @And the child continued to grow and to become strong in spirit, and he lived in the deserts until the day of his public appearance to Israel.

nasb@Luke:2:3 @And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city.

nasb@Luke:2:4 @Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,

nasb@Luke:2:5 @in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child.

nasb@Luke:2:7 @And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

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:2:9 @And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened.

nasb@Luke:2:12" @ This will be a sign for you- you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

nasb@Luke:2:13 @And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

nasb@Luke:2:14" @ Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased."

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:2:16 @So they came in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger.

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:2:21 @And when eight days had passed, before His circumcision, His name was then called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

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:2:24 @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:2:27 @And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to carry out for Him the custom of the Law,

nasb@Luke:2:28 @then he took Him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,

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:2:34 @And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother, "Behold, this Child is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign to be opposed--

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:2:36 @And there was a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years and had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage,

nasb@Luke:2:37 @and then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers.

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:2:40 @The Child continued to grow and become strong, increasing in wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.

nasb@Luke:2:42 @And when He became twelve, they went up there according to the custom of the Feast;

nasb@Luke:2:43 @and as they were returning, after spending the full number of days, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. But His parents were unaware of it,

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:2:46 @Then, after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.

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:2:51 @And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart.

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:3:2 @in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.

nasb@Luke:3:3 @And he came into all the district around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins;

nasb@Luke:3:5 @' EVERY RAVINE WILL BE FILLED, AND EVERY MOUNTAIN AND HILL WILL BE BROUGHT LOW; THE CROOKED WILL BECOME STRAIGHT, AND THE ROUGH ROADS SMOOTH;

nasb@Luke:3:6 @AND ALL FLESH WILL SEE THE SALVATION OF GOD.'"

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:3:11 @And he would answer and say to them, "The man who has two tunics is to share with him who has none; and he who has food is to do likewise."

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:3:19 @But when Herod the tetrarch was reprimanded by him because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and because of all the wicked things which Herod had done,

nasb@Luke:3:21 @Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened,

nasb@Luke:3:22 @and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came out of heaven, " You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased."

nasb@Luke:4:1 @Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led around by the Spirit in the wilderness

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:4:3 @And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread."

nasb@Luke:4:4 @And Jesus answered him, "It is written, ' MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE.'"

nasb@Luke:4:5 @And he led Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

nasb@Luke:4:6 @And the devil said to Him, "I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

nasb@Luke:4:8 @Jesus answered him, "It is written, ' YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'"

nasb@Luke:4:9 @And he led Him to Jerusalem and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here;

nasb@Luke:4:10 @for it is written, ' HE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU TO GUARD YOU,'

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:4:12 @And Jesus answered and said to him, "It is said, ' YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.'"

nasb@Luke:4:14 @And Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about Him spread through all the surrounding district.

nasb@Luke:4:15 @And He began teaching in their synagogues and was praised by all.

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:4:17 @And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written,

nasb@Luke:4:18" @ THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED,

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:4:21 @And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."

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:4:24 @And He said, "Truly I say to you, no prophet is welcome in his hometown.

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:4:27" @And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian."

nasb@Luke:4:28 @And all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage as they heard these things;

nasb@Luke:4:29 @and they got up and drove Him out of the city, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city had been built, in order to throw Him down the cliff.

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:4:33 @In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,

nasb@Luke:4:35 @But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet and come out of him!" And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst of the people, he came out of him without doing him any harm.

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:4:37 @And the report about Him was spreading into every locality in the surrounding district.

nasb@Luke:4:38 @Then He got up and left the synagogue, and entered Simon's home. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Him to help her.

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:4:40 @While the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and laying His hands on each one of them, He was healing them.

nasb@Luke:4:42 @When day came, Jesus left and went to a secluded place; and the crowds were searching for Him, and came to Him and tried to keep Him from going away from 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:5:5 @Simon answered and said, " Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but I will do as You say and let down the nets."

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:5:9 @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:5:12 @While He was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man covered with leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."

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:5:14 @And He ordered him to tell no one, "But go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

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:5:16 @But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray.

nasb@Luke:5:17 @One day He was teaching; and there were some Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present for Him to perform healing.

nasb@Luke:5:18 @And some men were carrying on a bed a man who was paralyzed; and they were trying to bring him in and to set him down in front of Him.

nasb@Luke:5:19 @But not finding any way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiles with his stretcher, into the middle of the crowd, in front of Jesus.

nasb@Luke:5:21 @The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, " Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?"

nasb@Luke:5:22 @But Jesus, aware of their reasonings, answered and said to them, "Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

nasb@Luke:5:23" @Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins have been forgiven you,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'?

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:5:26 @They were all struck with astonishment and began glorifying God; and they were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen remarkable things today."

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:5:28 @And he left everything behind, and got up and began to follow Him.

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:5:31 @And Jesus answered and said to them, " It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick.

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:5:35" @ But the days will come; and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days."

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:5:37" @And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined.

nasb@Luke:5:39" @And no one, after drinking old wine wishes for new; for he says, 'The old is good enough.'"

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:6:3 @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:6:13 @And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as apostles-

nasb@Luke:6:14 @Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;

nasb@Luke:6:15 @and Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot;

nasb@Luke:6:16 @Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

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:6:18 @who had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured.

nasb@Luke:6:19 @And all the people were trying to touch Him, for power was coming from Him and healing them all.

nasb@Luke:6:20 @And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say, " Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

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:6:25" @Woe to you who are well-fed now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.

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:6:35" @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:6:37" @ Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned.

nasb@Luke:6:38" @Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure--pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return."

nasb@Luke:6:39 @And He also spoke a parable to them- " A blind man cannot guide a blind man, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit?

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:6:43" @ For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit.

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:6:47" @ Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like-

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:7:2 @And a centurion's slave, who was highly regarded by him, was sick and about to die.

nasb@Luke:7:3 @When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders asking Him to come and save the life of his slave.

nasb@Luke:7:5 @for he loves our nation and it was he who built us our synagogue."

nasb@Luke:7:6 @Now Jesus started on His way with them; and when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself further, for I am not worthy for You to come under my roof;

nasb@Luke:7:7 @for this reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

nasb@Luke:7:8" @For I also am a man placed 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@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:7:11 @Soon afterwards He went to a city called Nain; and His disciples were going along with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

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:7:13 @When the Lord saw her, He felt compassion for her, and said to her, "Do not weep."

nasb@Luke:7:14 @And He came up and touched the coffin; and the bearers came to a halt. And He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise!"

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:7:17 @This report concerning Him went out all over Judea and in all the surrounding district.

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:7:25" @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:7:29 @When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they acknowledged God's justice, having been baptized with the baptism of John.

nasb@Luke:7:30 @But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected God's purpose for themselves, not having been baptized by John.

nasb@Luke:7:31" @To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?

nasb@Luke:7:32" @They are like children who sit in the market place and call to one another, and they say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.'

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:7:36 @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:7:40 @And Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." And he replied, "Say it, Teacher."

nasb@Luke:7:41" @A moneylender had two debtors- one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

nasb@Luke:7:43 @Simon answered and said, "I suppose the one whom he forgave more." And He said to him, "You have judged correctly."

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:7:50 @And He said to the woman, " Your faith has saved you; go in peace."

nasb@Luke:8:1 @Soon afterwards, He began going around from one city and village to another, proclaiming and preaching the kingdom of God. The twelve were with Him,

nasb@Luke:8:2 @and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses- Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

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:8:4 @When a large crowd was coming together, and those from the various cities were journeying to Him, He spoke by way of a parable-

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:8:6" @Other seed fell on rocky soil, and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

nasb@Luke:8:7" @Other seed fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it out.

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:8:10 @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:8:15" @But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance.

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:8:19 @And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd.

nasb@Luke:8:20 @And it was reported to Him, "Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You."

nasb@Luke:8:21 @But He answered and said to them, "My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it."

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:8:23 @But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended on the lake, and they began to be swamped and to be in danger.

nasb@Luke:8:24 @They came to Jesus and woke Him up, saying, " Master, Master, we are perishing!" And He got up and rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and it became calm.

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:8:27 @And when He came out onto the land, He was met by a man from the city who was possessed with demons; and who had not put on any clothing for a long time, and was not living in a house, but in the tombs.

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:8:29 @For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had seized him many times; and he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, and yet he would break his bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.

nasb@Luke:8:30 @And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, " Legion"; for many demons had entered him.

nasb@Luke:8:31 @They were imploring Him not to command them to go away into the abyss.

nasb@Luke:8:32 @Now there was a herd of many swine feeding there on the mountain; and the demons implored Him to permit them to enter the swine. And He gave them permission.

nasb@Luke:8:33 @And the demons came out of the man and entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

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:8:39" @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:8:40 @And as Jesus returned, the people welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting 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:8:42 @for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds were pressing against Him.

nasb@Luke:8:43 @And a woman who had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone,

nasb@Luke:8:44 @came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her hemorrhage stopped.

nasb@Luke:8:45 @And Jesus said, "Who is the one who touched Me?" And while they were all denying it, Peter said, " Master, the people are crowding and pressing in on You."

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:8:48 @And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace."

nasb@Luke:8:50 @But when Jesus heard this, He answered him, " Do not be afraid any longer; only believe, and she will be made well."

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:8:52 @Now they were all weeping and lamenting for her; but He said, "Stop weeping, for she has not died, but is asleep."

nasb@Luke:8:53 @And they began laughing at Him, knowing that she had died.

nasb@Luke:8:54 @He, however, took her by the hand and called, saying, "Child, arise!"

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:9:1 @And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases.

nasb@Luke:9:2 @And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to perform healing.

nasb@Luke:9:3 @And He said to them, " Take nothing for your journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two tunics apiece.

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:9:6 @Departing, they began going throughout the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

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:9:9 @Herod said, "I myself had John beheaded; but who is this man about whom I hear such things?" And he kept trying to see Him.

nasb@Luke:9:11 @But the crowds were aware of this and followed Him; and welcoming them, He began speaking to them about the kingdom of God and curing those who had need of healing.

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:9:15 @They did so, and had them all sit down.

nasb@Luke:9:16 @Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them, and broke them, and kept giving them to the disciples to set before the people.

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:9:21 @But He warned them and instructed them not to tell this to anyone,

nasb@Luke:9:22 @saying, " The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and be raised up on the third day."

nasb@Luke:9:23 @And He was saying to them all, " If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

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:9:28 @Some eight days after these sayings, He took along Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.

nasb@Luke:9:29 @And while He was praying, the appearance of His face became different, and His clothing became white and gleaming.

nasb@Luke:9:30 @And behold, two men were talking with Him; and they were Moses and Elijah,

nasb@Luke:9:32 @Now Peter and his companions had been overcome with sleep; but when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him.

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:9:34 @While he was saying this, a cloud formed and began to overshadow them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

nasb@Luke:9:36 @And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent, and reported to no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

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:9:40" @I begged Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not."

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:9:44" @Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men."

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:9:47 @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:9:49 @John answered and said, " Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name; and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow along with us."

nasb@Luke:9:52 @and He sent messengers on ahead of Him, and they went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.

nasb@Luke:9:54 @When His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"

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:9:56 @for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."] And they went on to another village.

nasb@Luke:9:58 @And 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@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:9:60 @But He said to him, "Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God."

nasb@Luke:9:62 @But Jesus said to him, " No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

nasb@Luke:10:1 @Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.

nasb@Luke:10:2 @And He was saying to them, " The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

nasb@Luke:10:4" @ Carry no money belt, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way.

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:10:9 @and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ' The kingdom of God has come near to 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:10:13" @ Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

nasb@Luke:10:14" @But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

nasb@Luke:10:15" @And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will be brought down to Hades!

nasb@Luke:10:16" @ The one who listens to you listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me."

nasb@Luke:10:18 @And He said to them, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.

nasb@Luke:10:19" @Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.

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:10:24 @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:10:27 @And he answered, " YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

nasb@Luke:10:28 @And He said to him, "You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE."

nasb@Luke:10:29 @But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

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:10:32" @Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

nasb@Luke:10:33" @But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,

nasb@Luke:10:34 @and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

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:10:36" @Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers' hands?"

nasb@Luke:10:37 @And he said, "The one who showed mercy toward him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same."

nasb@Luke:10:38 @Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.

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:10:41 @But the Lord answered and said to her, " Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things;

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:11:6 @for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him';

nasb@Luke:11:7 @and from inside he answers and says, 'Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.'

nasb@Luke:11:8" @I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

nasb@Luke:11:9" @So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

nasb@Luke:11:10" @For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.

nasb@Luke:11:14 @And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute; when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed.

nasb@Luke:11:16 @Others, to test Him, were demanding of Him a sign from heaven.

nasb@Luke:11:17 @But He knew their thoughts and said to them, "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls.

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:11:19" @And if I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? So they will be your judges.

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:11:25" @And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order.

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:11:28 @But He said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it."

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:11:31" @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:11:37 @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:11:39 @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:11:42" @ But woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithe of mint and rue and every kind of garden herb, and yet disregard justice and the love of God; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.

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:11:44" @ Woe to you! For you are like concealed tombs, and the people who walk over them are unaware of it."

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:11:49" @For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ' I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and some they will persecute,

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:11:52" @Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves did not enter, and you hindered those who were entering."

nasb@Luke:11:53 @When He left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very hostile and to question Him closely on many subjects,

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:11:8" @And I say to you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will confess him also before the angels of God;

nasb@Luke:11:10" @ And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him.

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:11:15 @Then He said to them, " Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions."

nasb@Luke:11:16 @And He told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man was very productive.

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:11:21" @So is the man who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

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:11:23" @For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.

nasb@Luke:11:24" @Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds!

nasb@Luke:11:25" @And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life's span?

nasb@Luke:11:28" @But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith!

nasb@Luke:11:29" @And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying.

nasb@Luke:11:31" @But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you.

nasb@Luke:11:33" @ Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys.

nasb@Luke:11:35" @ Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit.

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:11:42 @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:11:45" @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:11:54 @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:11:56" @You hypocrites! You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not analyze this present time?

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:12:6 @And He began telling this parable- "A man had a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any.

nasb@Luke:12:7" @And he said to the vineyard-keeper, 'Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree without finding any. Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground?'

nasb@Luke:12:8" @And he answered and said to him, 'Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and put in fertilizer;

nasb@Luke:12:9 @and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but if not, cut it down.'"

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:12:12 @When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your sickness."

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:12:19" @It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and THE BIRDS OF THE AIR NESTED IN ITS BRANCHES."

nasb@Luke:12:20 @And again He said, " To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?

nasb@Luke:12:21" @ It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened."

nasb@Luke:12:22 @And He was passing through from one city and village to another, teaching, and proceeding on His way to Jerusalem.

nasb@Luke:12:27 @and He will say, 'I tell you, I do not know where you are from; DEPART FROM ME, ALL YOU EVILDOERS.'

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:12:30" @And behold, some are last who will be first and some are first who will be last."

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:13:2 @And there in front of Him was a man suffering from dropsy.

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:13:4 @But they kept silent. And He took hold of him and healed him, and sent him away.

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:13:6 @And they could make no reply to this.

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:13:9 @and he who invited you both will come and say to you, 'Give your place to this man,' and then in disgrace you proceed to occupy the last place.

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:13:11" @ For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

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:13:16 @But He said to him, " A man was giving a big dinner, and he invited many;

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:13:19" @Another one said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out; 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:13:25 @Now large crowds were going along with Him; and He turned and said to them,

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:13:27" @Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me 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:13:30 @saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'

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:14:1 @Now all the tax collectors and the sinners were coming near Him to listen to Him.

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:14:6" @And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!'

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:14:9" @When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost!'

nasb@Luke:14:11 @And He said, "A man had two sons.

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:14:18 @'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:14:20" @So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.

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:14:23 @and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and celebrate;

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:14:25" @Now his older son was in the field, and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

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:14:28" @But he became angry and was not willing to go in; and his father came out and began pleading with him.

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:14:31" @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:14:16 @Now He was also saying to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had a manager, and this manager was reported to him as squandering his possessions.

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:14:5" @And he summoned each one of his master's debtors, and he began saying to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?'

nasb@Luke:14:6" @And he said, 'A hundred measures of oil.' And he said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'

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:14:10" @ He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much.

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:14:17" @ But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter of the Law to fail.

nasb@Luke:14:18" @ Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.

nasb@Luke:14:19" @Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day.

nasb@Luke:14:20" @And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores,

nasb@Luke:14:21 @and longing to be fed with the crumbs which were falling from the rich man's table; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores.

nasb@Luke:14:22" @Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried.

nasb@Luke:14:23" @In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom.

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:14:29" @But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.'

nasb@Luke:14:31" @But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.'"

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:14:3" @Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

nasb@Luke:14:4" @And if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, 'I repent,' forgive him."

nasb@Luke:14:6 @And the Lord said, "If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea'; and it would obey you.

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:14:9" @He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded, does he?

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:14:11 @While He was on the way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

nasb@Luke:14:13 @and they raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"

nasb@Luke:14:14 @When He saw them, He said to them, " Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they were going, they were cleansed.

nasb@Luke:14:16 @and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a Samaritan.

nasb@Luke:14:17 @Then Jesus answered and said, "Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine--where are they?

nasb@Luke:14:19 @And He said to him, "Stand up and go; your faith has made you well."

nasb@Luke:14:20 @Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed;

nasb@Luke:14:22 @And He said to the disciples, " The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

nasb@Luke:14:23" @ They will say to you, 'Look there! Look here!' Do not go away, and do not run after them.

nasb@Luke:14:25" @ But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

nasb@Luke:14:26" @ And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man-

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:14:29 @but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

nasb@Luke:14:31" @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:14:33" @ Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.

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:14:36 @[" Two men will be in the field; 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:15:2 @saying, "In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect man.

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:15:7 @now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them?

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:15:10" @Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

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:15:13" @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:15:15 @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:15:16 @But Jesus called for them, saying, "Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

nasb@Luke:15:19 @And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

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:15:21 @And he said, "All these things I have kept from my youth."

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:15:28 @Peter said, "Behold, we have left our own homes and followed You."

nasb@Luke:15:29 @And He said to them, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of 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:15:31 @Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.

nasb@Luke:15:32" @ For He will be handed over to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and mistreated and spit upon,

nasb@Luke:15:33 @and after they have scourged Him, they will kill Him; and the third day He will rise again."

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:15:38 @And he called out, saying, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

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:15:42 @And Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well."

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:16:1 @He entered Jericho and was passing through.

nasb@Luke:16:2 @And there was a man called by the name of Zaccheus; he was a chief tax collector and he was rich.

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:16:6 @And he hurried and came down and received Him gladly.

nasb@Luke:16:8 @Zaccheus stopped and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I will give to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give back four times as much."

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:16:12 @So He said, " A nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and then return.

nasb@Luke:16:13" @And he called ten of his slaves, and gave them ten minas and said to them, 'Do business with this until I come back.'

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:16:17" @And he said to him, 'Well done, good slave, because you have been faithful in a very little thing, you are to be in authority over ten cities.'

nasb@Luke:16:19" @And he said to him also, 'And you are to be over five cities.'

nasb@Luke:16:20" @Another came, saying, 'Master, here is your mina, which I kept put away in a handkerchief;

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:16:23 @'Then why did you not put my money in the bank, and having come, I would have collected it with interest?'

nasb@Luke:16:24" @Then he said to the bystanders, 'Take the mina away from him and give it to the one who has the ten minas.'

nasb@Luke:16:25" @And they said to him, 'Master, he has ten minas already.'

nasb@Luke:16:27" @But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence."

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:16:32 @So those who were sent went away and found it just as He had told them.

nasb@Luke:16:35 @They brought it to Jesus, and they threw their coats on the colt and put Jesus on it.

nasb@Luke:16:38 @shouting- " BLESSED IS THE KING WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"

nasb@Luke:16:41 @When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it,

nasb@Luke:16:43" @For the days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, and surround you and hem you in on every side,

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:16:45 @Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling,

nasb@Luke:16:47 @And He was teaching daily in the temple; but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people were trying to destroy Him,

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:17:1 @On one of the days while He was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders confronted Him,

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:17:3 @Jesus answered and said to them, "I will also ask you a question, and you tell Me-

nasb@Luke:17:8 @And Jesus said to them, "Nor will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

nasb@Luke:17:9 @And He began to tell the people this parable- "A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to vine-growers, and went on a journey for a long time.

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:17:12" @And he proceeded to send a third; and this one also they wounded and cast out.

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:17:16" @He will come and destroy these vine-growers and will give the vineyard to others." When they heard it, they said, " May it never be!"

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:17:19 @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:17:23 @But He detected their trickery and said to them,

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:17:28 @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:17:36 @for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

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:17:39 @Some of the scribes answered and said, "Teacher, You have spoken well."

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:17:44" @Therefore David calls Him 'Lord,' and how is He his son?"

nasb@Luke:17:45 @And while all the people were listening, He said to the disciples,

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:18:1 @And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury.

nasb@Luke:18:2 @And He saw a poor widow putting in two small copper coins.

nasb@Luke:18:3 @And He said, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them;

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:18:7 @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:18:12" @But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name's sake.

nasb@Luke:18:14" @ So make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves;

nasb@Luke:18:15 @for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute.

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:18:21" @Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of the city must leave, and those who are in the country must not enter the city;

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:18:28" @But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

nasb@Luke:18:29 @Then He told them a parable- "Behold the fig tree and all the trees;

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:18:33" @ Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

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:18:38 @And all the people would get up early in the morning to come to Him in the temple to listen to Him.

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:19:4 @And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he might betray Him to them.

nasb@Luke:19:5 @They were glad and agreed to give him money.

nasb@Luke:19:6 @So he consented, and began seeking a good opportunity to betray Him to them apart from the crowd.

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:19:12" @And he will show you a large, furnished upper room; prepare it there."

nasb@Luke:19:13 @And they left and found everything just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

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:19:17 @And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves;

nasb@Luke:19:19 @And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

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:19:21" @ But behold, the hand of the one betraying Me is with Mine on the table.

nasb@Luke:19:23 @And they began to discuss among themselves which one of them it might be who was going to do this thing.

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:19:25 @And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who have authority over them are called 'Benefactors.'

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:19:29 @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:19:35 @And He said to them, " When I sent you out without money belt and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?" They said, "No, nothing."

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:19:38 @They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." And He said to them, "It is enough."

nasb@Luke:19:39 @And He came out and proceeded as was His custom to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed Him.

nasb@Luke:19:41 @And He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and began to pray,

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:19:45 @When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow,

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:19:47 @While He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding them; and he approached Jesus to kiss Him.

nasb@Luke:19:50 @And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

nasb@Luke:19:51 @But Jesus answered and said, "Stop! No more of this." And He touched his ear and healed him.

nasb@Luke:19:52 @Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against a robber?

nasb@Luke:19:53" @While I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but this hour and the power of darkness are yours."

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:19:61 @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:19:62 @And he went out and wept bitterly.

nasb@Luke:19:63 @Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking Him and beating Him,

nasb@Luke:19:64 @and they blindfolded Him and were asking Him, saying, " Prophesy, who is the one who hit You?"

nasb@Luke:19:65 @And they were saying many other things against Him, blaspheming.

nasb@Luke:19:66 @When it was day, the Council of elders of the people assembled, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him away to their council chamber, saying,

nasb@Luke:19:68 @and if I ask a question, you will not answer.

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:19:70 @And they all said, "Are You the Son of God, then?" And He said to them, " Yes, I am."

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:20:7 @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:20:8 @Now Herod was very glad when he saw Jesus; for he had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had been hearing about Him and was hoping to see some sign performed by Him.

nasb@Luke:20:9 @And he questioned Him at some length; but He answered him nothing.

nasb@Luke:20:10 @And the chief priests and the scribes were standing there, accusing Him vehemently.

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:20:14 @and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one who incites the people to rebellion, and behold, having examined Him before you, I have found no guilt in this man regarding the charges which you make against Him.

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:20:16" @Therefore I will punish Him and release Him."

nasb@Luke:20:18 @But they cried out all together, saying, " Away with this man, and release for us Barabbas!"

nasb@Luke:20:19 @(He was one who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection made in the city, and for murder.)

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:20:25 @And he released the man they were asking for who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, but he delivered Jesus to their will.

nasb@Luke:20:26 @When they led Him away, they seized a man, Simon of Cyrene, coming in from the country, and placed on him the cross to carry behind Jesus.

nasb@Luke:20:27 @And following Him was a large crowd of the people, and of women who were mourning and lamenting Him.

nasb@Luke:20:28 @But Jesus turning to them said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

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:20:30" @Then they will begin TO SAY TO THE MOUNTAINS, 'FALL ON US,' AND TO THE HILLS, 'COVER US.'

nasb@Luke:20:33 @When they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.

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:20:37 @and saying, " If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!"

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:20:42 @And he was saying, "Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!"

nasb@Luke:20:43 @And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise."

nasb@Luke:20:44 @It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour,

nasb@Luke:20:45 @because the sun was obscured; and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

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:20:48 @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:20:50 @And a man named Joseph, who was a member of the Council, a good and righteous man

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:20:53 @And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever lain.

nasb@Luke:20:54 @It was the preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.

nasb@Luke:20:55 @Now the women who had come with Him out of Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how His body was laid.

nasb@Luke:20:56 @Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes. And on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

nasb@Luke:21:2 @And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

nasb@Luke:21:5 @and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living One among the dead?

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:21:8 @And they remembered His words,

nasb@Luke:21:9 @and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

nasb@Luke:21:10 @Now they were Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James; also the other women with them were telling these things to the apostles.

nasb@Luke:21:11 @But these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they would not believe them.

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:21:14 @And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place.

nasb@Luke:21:15 @While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them.

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:21:18 @One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, "Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?"

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:21:23 @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:21:24" @Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just exactly as the women also had said; but Him they did not see."

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:21:26" @ Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?"

nasb@Luke:21:27 @Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

nasb@Luke:21:28 @And they approached the village where they were going, and He acted as though He were going farther.

nasb@Luke:21:29 @But they urged Him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is getting toward evening, and the day is now nearly over." So He went in to stay with them.

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:21:31 @Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight.

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:21:34 @saying, " The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon."

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:21:36 @While they were telling these things, He Himself stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be to you."

nasb@Luke:21:37 @But they were startled and frightened and thought that they were seeing a spirit.

nasb@Luke:21:38 @And He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

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:21:40 @And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

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:21:45 @Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,

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:21:50 @And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

nasb@Luke:21:51 @While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven.

nasb@Luke:21:52 @And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

nasb@Luke:21:53 @and were continually in the temple praising God.

nasb@John:1:1 @In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

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:1:4 @In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.

nasb@John:1:5 @The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

nasb@John:1:10 @He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

nasb@John:1:11 @He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive 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:1:15 @John testified about Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, ' He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'"

nasb@John:1:16 @For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace.

nasb@John:1:17 @For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

nasb@John:1:19 @This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

nasb@John:1:20 @And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, " I am not the Christ."

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:1:25 @They asked him, and said to him, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

nasb@John:1:26 @John answered them saying, " I baptize in water, but among you stands One whom you do not know.

nasb@John:1:27" @It is He who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."

nasb@John:1:29 @The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

nasb@John:1:32 @John testified saying, " I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him.

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:1:35 @Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,

nasb@John:1:36 @and he looked at Jesus as He walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

nasb@John:1:37 @The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

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:1:40 @One of the two who heard John speak and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

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:1:43 @The next day He purposed to go into Galilee, and He found Philip. And Jesus said to him, " Follow Me."

nasb@John:1:44 @Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and 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:1:50 @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:1:51 @And He said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

nasb@John:2:1 @On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;

nasb@John:2:2 @and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.

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:2:8 @And He said to them, "Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter." So they took it to him.

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:2:10 @and said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people have drunk freely, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."

nasb@John:2:11 @This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

nasb@John:2:12 @After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and His brothers and His disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

nasb@John:2:13 @The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

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:2:15 @And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned 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:2:19 @Jesus answered them, " Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

nasb@John:2:20 @The Jews then said, "It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?"

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:2:25 @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:3:3 @Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."

nasb@John:3:4 @Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he?"

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:3:8" @ The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

nasb@John:3:10 @Jesus answered and said to him, "Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things?

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:3:12" @If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

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:3:22 @After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He was spending time with them and baptizing.

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:3:26 @And they came to John and said to him, " Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him."

nasb@John:3:27 @John answered and said, " A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.

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:3:31" @ He who comes from above is above all, he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

nasb@John:3:32" @What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.

nasb@John:3:35" @ The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand.

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:4:3 @He left Judea and went away again into Galilee.

nasb@John:4:4 @And He had to pass through Samaria.

nasb@John:4:6 @and Jacob's well was there. So Jesus, being wearied from His journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

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:4:16 @He said to her, "Go, call your husband and come here."

nasb@John:4:17 @The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You have correctly said, 'I have no husband';

nasb@John:4:18 @for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly."

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:4:23" @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:4:24" @God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

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:4:30 @They went out of the city, and were coming to Him.

nasb@John:4:34 @Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.

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:4:37" @For in this case the saying is true, ' One sows and another reaps.'

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:4:40 @So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

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:4:46 @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:4:48 @So Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you simply will not believe."

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:4:53 @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:5:1 @After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

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:5:8 @Jesus said to him, " Get up, pick up your pallet and walk."

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:5:11 @But he answered them, "He who made me well was the one who said to me, 'Pick up your pallet and walk.'"

nasb@John:5:12 @They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Pick up your pallet and walk'?"

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:5:17 @But He answered them, "My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working."

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:5:24" @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:5:25" @Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

nasb@John:5:27 @and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

nasb@John:5:29 @and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.

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:5:33" @You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

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:5:37" @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:5:40 @and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.

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: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:6:8 @One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,

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:6:13 @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:6:24 @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:6:29 @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:6:33" @For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."

nasb@John:6:35 @Jesus said to them, " I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.

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:6:40" @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:6:42 @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:6:43 @Jesus answered and said to them, "Do not grumble among yourselves.

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:6:49" @ 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:6:53 @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:6:55" @For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.

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:6:63" @ 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:6:66 @As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore.

nasb@John:6:69" @We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God."

nasb@John:6:70 @Jesus answered them, " Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is a devil?"

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:7:11 @So the Jews were seeking Him at the feast and were saying, "Where is He?"

nasb@John:7:14 @But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to teach.

nasb@John:7:16 @So Jesus answered them and said, " My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

nasb@John:7:18" @He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

nasb@John:7:19" @ Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you seek to kill Me?"

nasb@John:7:21 @Jesus answered them, "I did one deed, and you all marvel.

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:7:26" @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:7:28 @Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, " You both know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

nasb@John:7:29" @ I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me."

nasb@John:7:30 @So they were seeking to seize Him; and no man laid his hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

nasb@John:7:31 @But many of the crowd believed in Him; and they were saying, " When the Christ comes, He will not perform more signs than those which this man has, will He?"

nasb@John:7:32 @The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about Him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to seize Him.

nasb@John:7:34" @ You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come."

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:7:42" @Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

nasb@John:7:44 @Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him.

nasb@John:7:45 @The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring Him?"

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:8:3 @The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court,

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:8:8 @Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.

nasb@John:8:9 @When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court.

nasb@John:8:11 @She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, " I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more."]

nasb@John:8:14 @Jesus answered and said to them, " Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

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:8:18" @I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me."

nasb@John:8:20 @These words He spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.

nasb@John:8:21 @Then He said again to them, "I go away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come."

nasb@John:8:23 @And He was saying to them, " You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.

nasb@John:8:26" @I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world."

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:8:32 @and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

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:8:39 @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:8:42 @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:8:50" @But I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

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:8:55 @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:8:57 @So the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"

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:9:6 @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:9:8 @Therefore the neighbors, and those who previously saw him as a beggar, were saying, "Is not this the one who used to sit and beg?"

nasb@John:9:11 @He answered, "The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash'; so I went away and washed, and I received sight."

nasb@John:9:14 @Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

nasb@John:9:15 @Then the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, "He applied clay to my eyes, and I washed, and I see."

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:9:19 @and questioned them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?"

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:9:24 @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:9:27 @He answered them, " I told you already and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?"

nasb@John:9:28 @They reviled him and said, "You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

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:9:34 @They answered him, " You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?" So they put him out.

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:9:37 @Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you."

nasb@John:9:38 @And he said, "Lord, I believe." And he worshiped 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:9:40 @Those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, " We are not blind too, are we?"

nasb@John:9:10" @Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.

nasb@John:9:3" @To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

nasb@John:9:4" @When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

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:9:8" @All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

nasb@John:9:9" @ I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

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:9:13" @He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep.

nasb@John:9:14" @ I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me,

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:9:16" @I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.

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:9:20 @Many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?"

nasb@John:9:23 @it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon.

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:9:27" @My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow 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:9:33 @The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God."

nasb@John:9:35" @If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),

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:9:38 @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:9:39 @Therefore they were seeking again to seize Him, and He eluded their grasp.

nasb@John:9:40 @And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was first baptizing, and He was staying there.

nasb@John:9:41 @Many came to Him and were saying, "While John performed no sign, yet everything John said about this man was true."

nasb@John:10:1 @Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

nasb@John:10:2 @It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

nasb@John:10:5 @Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

nasb@John:10:8 @The disciples said to Him, " Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?"

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:10:15 @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:10:19 @and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

nasb@John:10:25 @Jesus said to her, " I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,

nasb@John:10:26 @and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?"

nasb@John:10:28 @When she had said this, she went away and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, " The Teacher is here and is calling for you."

nasb@John:10:29 @And when she heard it, she got up quickly and was coming to Him.

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:10:33 @When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,

nasb@John:10:34 @and said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to Him, "Lord, come and see."

nasb@John:10:38 @So Jesus, again being deeply moved within, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.

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:10:44 @The man who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."

nasb@John:10:45 @Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what He had done, believed in Him.

nasb@John:10:46 @But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.

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:10:50 @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:10:52 @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:10:54 @Therefore Jesus no longer continued to walk publicly among the Jews, but went away from there to the country near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there He stayed with the disciples.

nasb@John:10:55 @Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the Passover to purify themselves.

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:11:3 @Mary then took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

nasb@John:11:5" @Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to poor people?"

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:11:9 @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:11:11 @because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus.

nasb@John:11:13 @took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, " Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, even the King of Israel."

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:11:17 @So the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about 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:11:21 @these then came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and began to ask him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

nasb@John:11:22 @Philip came and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip came and told Jesus.

nasb@John:11:23 @And Jesus answered them, saying, " The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

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:11:30 @Jesus answered and said, " This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes.

nasb@John:11:32" @And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself."

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:11:36" @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:11:38 @This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke- " LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?"

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:11:41 @These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke of Him.

nasb@John:11:44 @And Jesus cried out and said, " He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me.

nasb@John:11:47" @If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

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:12:3 @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:12:4 @got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself.

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:12:9 @Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head."

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:12:13" @You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.

nasb@John:12:14" @If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

nasb@John:12:20" @Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."

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:12:24 @So Simon Peter gestured to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom He is 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:12:30 @So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and it was night.

nasb@John:12:31 @Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him;

nasb@John:12:32 @if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.

nasb@John:12:33" @ Little children, I am with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.'

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:12:3" @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:12:4" @And you know the way where I am going."

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:12:15" @ If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

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:12:30" @I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;

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:12:15" @ I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

nasb@John:12:2" @Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.

nasb@John:12:4" @ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.

nasb@John:12:5" @I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

nasb@John:12:6" @If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.

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:12:10" @ 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:12:11" @ These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.

nasb@John:12:12" @This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.

nasb@John:12:14" @You are My friends if you do what I command 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:12:22" @ If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

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:12:27 @and you will testify also, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

nasb@John:12:5" @But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ' Where are You going?'

nasb@John:12:8" @And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;

nasb@John:12:10 @and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;

nasb@John:12:11 @and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

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:12:14" @He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.

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:14:20 @Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.

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:14:25 @Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, " You are not also one of His disciples, are you?" He denied it, and said, "I am not."

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:14:30 @They answered and said to him, "If this Man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him to you."

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:14:33 @Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, " Are You the King of the Jews?"

nasb@John:14:35 @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:15:1 @Pilate then took Jesus and scourged Him.

nasb@John:15:2 @And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him;

nasb@John:15:3 @and they began to come up to Him and say, " Hail, King of the Jews!" and to give Him slaps in the face.

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:15:9 @and he entered into the Praetorium again and said to Jesus, "Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.

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:15:13 @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:15:16 @So he then handed Him over to them to be crucified.

nasb@John:15:17 @They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.

nasb@John:15:18 @There they crucified Him, and with Him two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between.

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:15:23 @Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece.

nasb@John:15:24 @So they said to one another, " Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be"; this was to fulfill the Scripture- "THEY DIVIDED MY OUTER GARMENTS AMONG THEM, AND FOR MY CLOTHING THEY CAST LOTS."

nasb@John:15:25 @Therefore the soldiers did these things. But standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

nasb@John:15:26 @When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, " Woman, behold, your son!"

nasb@John:15:29 @A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth.

nasb@John:15:30 @Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, " It is finished!" And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.

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:15:32 @So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was crucified with Him;

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:15:37 @And again another Scripture says, " THEY SHALL LOOK ON HIM WHOM THEY PIERCED."

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:15:39 @Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.

nasb@John:15:40 @So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

nasb@John:15:41 @Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

nasb@John:16:1 @Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw the stone already taken away from the tomb.

nasb@John:16:2 @So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, " They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."

nasb@John:16:3 @So Peter and the other disciple went forth, and they were going to the tomb.

nasb@John:16:4 @The two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first;

nasb@John:16:5 @and stooping and looking in, he saw the linen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in.

nasb@John:16:6 @And so Simon Peter also came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there,

nasb@John:16:7 @and the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself.

nasb@John:16:8 @So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed.

nasb@John:16:9 @For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.

nasb@John:16:11 @But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;

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:16:13 @And they said to her, " Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him."

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:16:15 @Jesus said to her, " Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, "Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away."

nasb@John:16:16 @Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, " Rabboni!" (which means, Teacher).

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:16:20 @And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

nasb@John:16:22 @And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

nasb@John:16:25 @So the other disciples were saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe."

nasb@John:16:26 @After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, " Peace be with you."

nasb@John:16:27 @Then He said to Thomas, " Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing."

nasb@John:16:28 @Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"

nasb@John:16:29 @Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."

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:17:6 @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:17:9 @So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire already laid and fish placed on it, and bread.

nasb@John:17:11 @Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

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:17:13 @Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

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:17:18" @Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go."

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:17:24 @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:1:3 @To these He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God.

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:1:8 @but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."

nasb@Acts:1:9 @And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.

nasb@Acts:1:10 @And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them.

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:1:13 @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:1:14 @These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

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:1:17" @For he was counted among us and received his share in this ministry."

nasb@Acts:1:18 @(Now this man acquired a field with the price of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out.

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:1:23 @So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and Matthias.

nasb@Acts:1:24 @And they prayed and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two You have chosen

nasb@Acts:1:25 @to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place."

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:2:2 @And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

nasb@Acts:2:3 @And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them.

nasb@Acts:2:4 @And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.

nasb@Acts:2:6 @And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together, and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language.

nasb@Acts:2:7 @They were amazed and astonished, saying, "Why, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

nasb@Acts:2:8" @And how is it that we each hear them in our own language to which we were born?

nasb@Acts:2:9" @Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

nasb@Acts:2:10 @Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya around Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

nasb@Acts:2:11 @Cretans and Arabs--we hear them in our own tongues speaking of the mighty deeds of God."

nasb@Acts:2:12 @And they all continued in amazement and great perplexity, saying to one another, "What does this mean?"

nasb@Acts:2:13 @But others were mocking and saying, " They are full of sweet wine."

nasb@Acts:2:14 @But Peter, taking his stand with the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them- "Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words.

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:2:18 @EVEN ON MY BONDSLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, I WILL IN THOSE DAYS POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT And they shall prophesy.

nasb@Acts:2:19 @'AND I WILL GRANT WONDERS IN THE SKY ABOVE AND SIGNS ON THE EARTH BELOW, BLOOD, AND FIRE, AND VAPOR OF SMOKE.

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:2:25" @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:2:26 @'THEREFORE MY HEART WAS GLAD AND MY TONGUE EXULTED; MOREOVER MY FLESH ALSO WILL LIVE IN HOPE;

nasb@Acts:2:27 @BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT ABANDON MY SOUL TO HADES, NOR ALLOW YOUR HOLY ONE TO UNDERGO DECAY.

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:2:38 @Peter said to them, " Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Acts:2:39" @For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself."

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:2:42 @They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

nasb@Acts:2:43 @Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.

nasb@Acts:2:44 @And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common;

nasb@Acts:2:45 @and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need.

nasb@Acts:2:46 @Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart,

nasb@Acts:2:47 @praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.

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:3:3 @When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he began asking to receive alms.

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:3:8 @With a leap he stood upright and began to walk; and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

nasb@Acts:3:9 @And all the people saw him walking and praising God;

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:3:13" @ 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:3:14" @But you disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,

nasb@Acts:3:16" @And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.

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:3:23 @' And it will be that every soul that does not heed that prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.'

nasb@Acts:3:24" @And likewise, all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and his successors onward, also announced these days.

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:3:26" @For you first, God raised up His Servant and sent Him to bless you by turning every one of you from your wicked ways."

nasb@Acts:4:1 @As they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them,

nasb@Acts:4:2 @being greatly disturbed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

nasb@Acts:4:3 @And they laid hands on them and put them in jail until the next day, for it was already evening.

nasb@Acts:4:4 @But many of those who had heard the message believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

nasb@Acts:4:5 @On the next day, their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem;

nasb@Acts:4:6 @and Annas the high priest was there, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of high-priestly descent.

nasb@Acts:4:8 @Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, " Rulers and elders of the people,

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:4:14 @And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say in reply.

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:4:18 @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:4:23 @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:4:30 @while You extend Your hand to heal, and signs and wonders take place through the name of Your holy servant Jesus."

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:4:34 @For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales

nasb@Acts:4:35 @and lay them at the apostles' feet, and they would be distributed to each as any had need.

nasb@Acts:4:37 @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:5:6 @The young men got up and covered him up, and after carrying him out, they buried him.

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:5:14 @And all the more believers in the Lord, multitudes of men and women, were constantly added to their number,

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:5:16 @Also the people from the cities in the vicinity of Jerusalem were coming together, bringing people who were sick or afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all being healed.

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:5:18 @They laid hands on the apostles and put them in a public jail.

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:5:20" @Go, stand and speak to the people in the temple the whole message of this Life."

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:5:22 @But the officers who came did not find them in the prison; and they returned and reported back,

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:5:25 @But someone came and reported to them, "The men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!"

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:5:28 @saying, "We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and intend to bring this man's blood upon us."

nasb@Acts:5:29 @But Peter and the apostles answered, " We must obey God rather than men.

nasb@Acts:5:31" @ He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

nasb@Acts:5:32" @And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him."

nasb@Acts:5:33 @But when they heard this, they were cut to the quick and intended to kill them.

nasb@Acts:5:34 @But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, respected by all the people, stood up in the Council and gave orders to put the men outside for a short time.

nasb@Acts:5:35 @And he said to them, "Men of Israel, take care what you propose to do with these men.

nasb@Acts:5:36" @For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a group of about four hundred men joined up with him. But he was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing.

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:5:38" @So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it will be overthrown;

nasb@Acts:5:40 @They took his advice; and after calling the apostles in, they flogged them and ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and then released them.

nasb@Acts:5:42 @And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they kept right on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.

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:6:4" @But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word."

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:6:6 @And these they brought before the apostles; and after praying, they laid their hands on them.

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:6:10 @But they were unable to cope with the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.

nasb@Acts:6:11 @Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God."

nasb@Acts:6:12 @And they stirred up the people, the elders and the scribes, and they came up to him and dragged him away and brought him before the Council.

nasb@Acts:6:13 @They put forward false witnesses who said, "This man incessantly speaks against this holy place and the Law;

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:6:15 @And fixing their gaze on him, all who were sitting in the Council saw his face like the face of an angel.

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:7:10 @and rescued him from all his afflictions, and granted him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he made him governor over Egypt and all his household.

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:7:13" @On the second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph's family was disclosed to Pharaoh.

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:7:16" @From there they were removed to Shechem and laid in the tomb which Abraham had purchased for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

nasb@Acts:7:17" @But as the time of the promise was approaching which God had assured to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,

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:7:21" @And after he had been set outside, Pharaoh's daughter took him away and nurtured him as her own son.

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:7:26" @ On the following day he appeared to them as they were fighting together, and he tried to reconcile them in peace, saying, 'Men, you are brethren, why do you injure one another?'

nasb@Acts:7:27" @But the one who was injuring his neighbor pushed him away, saying, ' WHO MADE YOU A RULER AND JUDGE OVER US?

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:7:33" @ BUT THE LORD SAID TO HIM, ' TAKE OFF THE SANDALS FROM YOUR FEET, FOR THE PLACE ON WHICH YOU ARE STANDING IS HOLY GROUND.

nasb@Acts:7:34 @' I HAVE CERTAINLY SEEN THE OPPRESSION OF MY PEOPLE IN EGYPT AND HAVE HEARD THEIR GROANS, AND I HAVE COME DOWN TO RESCUE THEM; COME NOW, AND I WILL SEND YOU TO EGYPT.'

nasb@Acts:7:35" @This Moses whom they disowned, saying, 'WHO MADE YOU A RULER AND A JUDGE?' is the one whom God sent to be both a ruler and a deliverer with the help of the angel who appeared to him in the thorn bush.

nasb@Acts:7:36" @ This man led them out, performing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt and in the Red Sea and in the wilderness for forty years.

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:7:43 @' YOU ALSO TOOK ALONG THE TABERNACLE OF MOLOCH AND THE STAR OF THE GOD ROMPHA, THE IMAGES WHICH YOU MADE TO WORSHIP. I ALSO WILL REMOVE YOU BEYOND BABYLON.'

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:7:48" @However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands; as the prophet says-

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:7:50 @' WAS IT NOT MY HAND WHICH MADE ALL THESE THINGS?'

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:7:53 @you who received the law as ordained by angels, and yet did not keep it."

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:7:59 @They went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Lord and said, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!"

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:8:3 @But Saul began ravaging the church, entering house after house, and dragging off men and women, he would put them in prison.

nasb@Acts:8:5 @Philip went down to the city of Samaria and began proclaiming Christ to them.

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:8:7 @For in the case of many who had unclean spirits, they were coming out of them shouting with a loud voice; and many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.

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:8:12 @But when they believed Philip preaching the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were being baptized, men and women alike.

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:8:17 @Then they began laying their hands on them, and they were receiving 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:8:22" @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:8:25 @So, when they had solemnly testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they started back to Jerusalem, and were preaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.

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:8:27 @So he got up and went; and there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he had come to Jerusalem to worship,

nasb@Acts:8:28 @and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.

nasb@Acts:8:29 @Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join this chariot."

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:8:31 @And he said, "Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?" And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

nasb@Acts:8:32 @Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this- " HE WAS LED AS A SHEEP TO SLAUGHTER; AND AS A LAMB BEFORE ITS SHEARER IS SILENT, SO HE DOES NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH.

nasb@Acts:8:34 @The eunuch answered Philip and said, "Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?"

nasb@Acts:8:35 @Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him.

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:9:4 @and he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?"

nasb@Acts:9:5 @And he said, "Who are You, Lord?" And He said, "I am Jesus whom you are persecuting,

nasb@Acts:9:6 @but get up and enter the city, and it will be told you what you must do."

nasb@Acts:9:8 @Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing; and leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.

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:9:14 @and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on Your name."

nasb@Acts:9:15 @But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel;

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:9:19 @and he took food and was strengthened.

nasb@Acts:9:20 @and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, "He is the Son of God."

nasb@Acts:9:21 @All those hearing him continued to be amazed, and were saying, "Is this not he who in Jerusalem destroyed those who called on this name, and who had come here for the purpose of bringing them bound before the chief priests?"

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:9:25 @but his disciples took him by night and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a large basket.

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:9:28 @And he was with them, moving about freely in Jerusalem, speaking out boldly in the name of the Lord.

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:9:30 @But when the brethren learned of it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.

nasb@Acts:9:31 @So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria enjoyed peace, being built up; and going on in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it continued to increase.

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:9:39 @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:9:41 @And he gave her his hand and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

nasb@Acts:9:42 @It became known all over Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.

nasb@Acts:9:43 @And Peter stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.

nasb@Acts:10:2 @a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, and gave many alms to the Jewish people and prayed to God continually.

nasb@Acts:10:3 @About the ninth hour of the day he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God who had just come in and said to him, "Cornelius!"

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:10:8 @and after he had explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

nasb@Acts:10:9 @On the next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour to pray.

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:10:16 @This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into the sky.

nasb@Acts:10:18 @and calling out, they were asking whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was staying there.

nasb@Acts:10:20" @But get up, go downstairs and accompany them without misgivings, for I have sent them Myself."

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:10:23 @So he invited them in and gave them lodging. And on the next day he got up and went away with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

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:10:26 @But Peter raised him up, saying, " Stand up; I too am just a man."

nasb@Acts:10:27 @As he talked with him, he entered and found many people assembled.

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:10:30 @Cornelius said, " Four days ago to this hour, I was praying in my house during the ninth hour; and behold, a man stood before me in shining garments,

nasb@Acts:10:31 @and he said, 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God.

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:10:38" @You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with 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:10:46 @For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting God. Then Peter answered,

nasb@Acts:10:48 @And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.

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:11:2 @And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those who were circumcised took issue with him,

nasb@Acts:11:3 @saying, " You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them."

nasb@Acts:11:4 @But Peter began speaking and proceeded to explain to them in orderly sequence, saying,

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:11:10" @This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into the sky.

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:11:12" @ The Spirit told me to go with them without misgivings. These six brethren also went with me and we entered the man's house.

nasb@Acts:11:13" @And he reported to us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying, 'Send to Joppa and have Simon, who is also called Peter, brought here;

nasb@Acts:11:14 @and he will speak words to you by which you will be saved, you and all your household.'

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:11:20 @But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who came to Antioch and began speaking to the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus.

nasb@Acts:11:21 @And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a large number who believed turned to the Lord.

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:11:23 @Then when he arrived and witnessed the grace of God, he rejoiced and began to encourage them all with resolute heart to remain true to the Lord;

nasb@Acts:11:24 @for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And considerable numbers were brought to the Lord.

nasb@Acts:11:25 @And he left for Tarsus to look for Saul;

nasb@Acts:11:26 @and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers; and the disciples were first called Christians in 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:11:30 @And this they did, sending it in charge of Barnabas and Saul to the elders.

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:12:6 @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:12:7 @And behold, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter's side and woke him up, saying, "Get up quickly." And his chains fell off his hands.

nasb@Acts:12:8 @And the angel said to him, "Gird yourself and put on your sandals." And he did so. And he said to him, "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me."

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:12:14 @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:12:16 @But Peter continued knocking; and when they had opened the door, they saw him and were amazed.

nasb@Acts:12:17 @But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had led him out of the prison. And he said, "Report these things to James and the brethren." Then he left and went to another place.

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:12:20 @Now he was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; and with one accord they came to him, and having won over Blastus the king's chamberlain, they were asking for peace, because their country was fed by the king's country.

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:12:22 @The people kept crying out, "The voice of a god and not of a man!"

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:12:24 @But the word of the Lord continued to grow and to be multiplied.

nasb@Acts:12:25 @And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their mission, taking along with them John, who was also called Mark.

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:13:2 @While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."

nasb@Acts:13:3 @Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

nasb@Acts:13:4 @So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia and from there they sailed to Cyprus.

nasb@Acts:13:5 @When they reached Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they also had John as their helper.

nasb@Acts:13:6 @When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar-Jesus,

nasb@Acts:13:7 @who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.

nasb@Acts:13:10 @and said, "You who are full of all deceit and fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to make crooked the straight ways of the Lord?

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:13:13 @Now Paul and his companions put out to sea from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia; but John left them and returned to Jerusalem.

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:13:16 @Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen-

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:13:19" @ When He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He distributed their land as an inheritance--all of which took about four hundred and fifty years.

nasb@Acts:13:21" @Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

nasb@Acts:13:25" @And while John was completing his course, he kept saying, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not He. But behold, one is coming after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'

nasb@Acts:13:26" @Brethren, sons of Abraham's family, and those among you who fear God, to us the message of this salvation has been sent.

nasb@Acts:13:27" @For those who live in Jerusalem, and their rulers, recognizing neither Him nor the utterances of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled these by condemning Him.

nasb@Acts:13:28" @And though they found no ground for putting Him to death, they asked Pilate that He be executed.

nasb@Acts:13:29" @When they had carried out all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the cross and laid Him in a tomb.

nasb@Acts:13:31 @and for many days He appeared to those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, the very ones who are now His witnesses to the people.

nasb@Acts:13:32" @And we preach to you the good news of the promise made to the fathers,

nasb@Acts:13:36" @For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid among his fathers and underwent decay;

nasb@Acts:13:39 @and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses.

nasb@Acts:13:41 @' BEHOLD, YOU SCOFFERS, AND MARVEL, AND PERISH; FOR I AM ACCOMPLISHING A WORK IN YOUR DAYS, A WORK WHICH YOU WILL NEVER BELIEVE, THOUGH SOMEONE SHOULD DESCRIBE IT TO 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:13:43 @Now when the meeting of the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and of the God-fearing proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were urging them to continue in the grace of God.

nasb@Acts:13:45 @But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began contradicting the things spoken by Paul, and were blaspheming.

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:13:48 @When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord; and as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.

nasb@Acts:13:49 @And the word of the Lord was being spread through the whole region.

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:13:51 @But they shook off the dust of their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.

nasb@Acts:13:52 @And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

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:14:2 @But the Jews who disbelieved stirred up the minds of the Gentiles and embittered them against the brethren.

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:14:4 @But the people of the city were divided; and some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

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:14:6 @they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding region;

nasb@Acts:14:7 @and there they continued to preach the gospel.

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:14:10 @said with a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." And he leaped up and began to walk.

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:14:12 @And they began calling Barnabas, Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.

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:14:14 @But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their robes and rushed out into the crowd, crying out

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:14:17 @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:14:19 @But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having won over the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.

nasb@Acts:14:20 @But while the disciples stood around him, he got up and entered the city. The next day he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.

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:14:24 @They passed through Pisidia and came into Pamphylia.

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:14:28 @And they spent a long time with the disciples.

nasb@Acts:15:1 @Some men came down from Judea and began teaching the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."

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:15:5 @But some of the sect of the Pharisees who had believed stood up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them and to direct them to observe the Law of Moses."

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:15:8" @And God, who knows the heart, testified to them giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us;

nasb@Acts:15:9 @and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.

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:15:17 @SO THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD, AND ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,'

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:15:22 @Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas--Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren,

nasb@Acts:15:23 @and they sent this letter by them, " The apostles and the brethren who are elders, to the brethren in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia who are from the Gentiles, greetings.

nasb@Acts:15:25 @it seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to select men to send to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

nasb@Acts:15:27" @Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will also report the same things by word of mouth.

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:15:32 @Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brethren with a lengthy message.

nasb@Acts:15:35 @But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching with many others also, the word of the Lord.

nasb@Acts:15:36 @After some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us return and visit the brethren in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are."

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:15:40 @But Paul chose Silas and left, being committed by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.

nasb@Acts:15:41 @And he was traveling through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.

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:16:2 @and he was well spoken of by the brethren who were in Lystra and Iconium.

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:16:4 @Now while they were passing through the cities, they were delivering the decrees which had been decided upon by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem, for them to observe.

nasb@Acts:16:5 @So the churches were being strengthened in the faith, and were increasing in number daily.

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:16:7 @and after they came to Mysia, they were trying to go into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them;

nasb@Acts:16:8 @and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

nasb@Acts:16:9 @A vision appeared to Paul in the night- a man of Macedonia was standing and appealing to him, and saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."

nasb@Acts:16:11 @So putting out to sea from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis;

nasb@Acts:16:12 @and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia, a Roman colony; and we were staying in this city for some days.

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:16:15 @And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us.

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:16:21 @and are proclaiming customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans."

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:16:23 @When they had struck them with many blows, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them securely;

nasb@Acts:16:24 @and he, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

nasb@Acts:16:25 @But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them;

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:16:29 @And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas,

nasb@Acts:16:30 @and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

nasb@Acts:16:31 @They said, " Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."

nasb@Acts:16:32 @And they spoke the word of the Lord to him together with all who were in his house.

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:16:36 @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:16:39 @and they came and appealed to them, and when they had brought them out, they kept begging them to leave the city.

nasb@Acts:16:40 @They went out of the prison and entered the house of Lydia, and when they saw the brethren, they encouraged them and departed.

nasb@Acts:17:1 @Now when they had traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

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:17:4 @And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, along with a large number of the God-fearing Greeks and a number of the leading women.

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:17:6 @When they did not find them, they began dragging Jason and some brethren before the city authorities, shouting, "These men who have upset the world have come here also;

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:17:8 @They stirred up the crowd and the city authorities who heard these things.

nasb@Acts:17:9 @And when they had received a pledge from Jason and the others, they released them.

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:17:12 @Therefore many of them believed, along with a number of prominent Greek women and men.

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:17:17 @So he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place every day with those who happened to be present.

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:17:21 @(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:17:24" @ The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands;

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:17:28 @for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we also are His children.'

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:17:34 @But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.

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:18:3 @and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and they were working, for by trade they were tent-makers.

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:18:6 @But when they resisted and blasphemed, he shook out his garments and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."

nasb@Acts:18:7 @Then he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next to the synagogue.

nasb@Acts:18:8 @Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his household, and many of the Corinthians when they heard were believing and being baptized.

nasb@Acts:18:9 @And the Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent;

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:18:11 @And he settled there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

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:18:15 @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:18:18 @Paul, having remained many days longer, took leave of the brethren and put out to sea for Syria, and with him were Priscilla and Aquila. In Cenchrea he had his hair cut, for he was keeping a vow.

nasb@Acts:18:19 @They came to Ephesus, and he left them there. Now he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

nasb@Acts:18:21 @but taking leave of them and saying, "I will return to you again if God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.

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:18:24 @Now a Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the Scriptures.

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: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:19:2 @He said to them, " Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" And they said to him, "No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit."

nasb@Acts:19:3 @And he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" And they said, " Into John's baptism."

nasb@Acts:19:6 @And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying.

nasb@Acts:19:8 @And he entered the synagogue and continued speaking out boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God.

nasb@Acts:19:9 @But when some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the people, he withdrew from them and took away the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

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:19:11 @God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,

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:19:15 @And the evil spirit answered and said to them, "I recognize Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?"

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:19:17 @This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified.

nasb@Acts:19:18 @Many also of those who had believed kept coming, confessing and disclosing their practices.

nasb@Acts:19:19 @And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and began burning them in the sight of everyone; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

nasb@Acts:19:20 @So the word of the Lord was growing mightily and prevailing.

nasb@Acts:19:21 @Now after these things were finished, Paul purposed in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."

nasb@Acts:19:22 @And having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

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:19:30 @And when Paul wanted to go into the assembly, the disciples would not let him.

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:19:33 @Some of the crowd concluded it was Alexander, since the Jews had put him forward; and having motioned with his hand, Alexander was intending to make a defense to the assembly.

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:19:36" @So, since these are undeniable facts, you ought to keep calm and to do nothing rash.

nasb@Acts:19:38" @So then, if Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a complaint against any man, the courts are in session and proconsuls are available; let them bring charges against one another.

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:20:1 @After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and when he had exhorted them and taken his leave of them, he left to go to Macedonia.

nasb@Acts:20:2 @When he had gone through those districts and had given them much exhortation, he came to Greece.

nasb@Acts:20:3 @And there he spent three months, and when a plot was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.

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:20:9 @And there was a young man named Eutychus sitting on the window sill, sinking into a deep sleep; and as Paul kept on talking, he was overcome by sleep and fell down from the third floor and was picked up dead.

nasb@Acts:20:10 @But Paul went down and fell upon him, and after embracing him, he said, "Do not be troubled, for his life is in him."

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:20:13 @But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending from there to take Paul on board; for so he had arranged it, intending himself to go by land.

nasb@Acts:20:14 @And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.

nasb@Acts:20:15 @Sailing from there, we arrived the following day opposite Chios; and the next day we crossed over to Samos; and the day following we came to Miletus.

nasb@Acts:20:17 @From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to him the elders of the church.

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:20:19 @serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials which came upon me through the plots of the Jews;

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:20:21 @solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks of repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

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:20:28" @Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

nasb@Acts:20:30 @and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

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:20:32" @And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

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:20:36 @When he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

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:21:2 @and having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.

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:21:4 @After looking up the disciples, we stayed there seven days; and they kept telling Paul through the Spirit not to set foot in Jerusalem.

nasb@Acts:21:5 @When our days there were ended, we left and started on our journey, while they all, with wives and children, escorted us until we were out of the city. After kneeling down on the beach and praying, we said farewell to one another.

nasb@Acts:21:6 @Then we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.

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:21:8 @On the next day we left and came to Caesarea, and entering the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we stayed with him.

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:21:14 @And since he would not be persuaded, we fell silent, remarking, " The will of the Lord be done!"

nasb@Acts:21:15 @After these days we got ready and started on our way up to Jerusalem.

nasb@Acts:21:16 @Some of the disciples from Caesarea also came with us, taking us to Mnason of Cyprus, a disciple of long standing with whom we were to lodge.

nasb@Acts:21:18 @And the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.

nasb@Acts:21:20 @And when they heard it they began glorifying God; and they said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Law;

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:21:24 @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:21:27 @When the seven days were almost over, the Jews from Asia, upon seeing him in the temple, began to stir up all the crowd and laid hands on him,

nasb@Acts:21:28 @crying out, "Men of Israel, come to our aid! This is the man who preaches to all men everywhere against our people and the Law and this place; and besides he has even brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place."

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:21:34 @But among the crowd some were shouting one thing and some another, and when he could not find out the facts because of the uproar, he ordered him to be brought into the barracks.

nasb@Acts:21:37 @As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he said to the commander, "May I say something to you?" And he said, "Do you know Greek?

nasb@Acts:21:38" @Then you are not the Egyptian who some time ago stirred up a revolt and led the four thousand men of the Assassins out into the wilderness?"

nasb@Acts:21:39 @But Paul said, " I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city; and I beg you, allow me to speak to the people."

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:22:4" @ I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and putting both men and women into prisons,

nasb@Acts:22:5 @as also the high priest and all the Council of the elders can testify. From them I also received letters to the brethren, and started off for Damascus in order to bring even those who were there to Jerusalem as prisoners to be punished.

nasb@Acts:22:7 @and I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?'

nasb@Acts:22:8" @And I answered, 'Who are You, Lord?' And He said to me, 'I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.'

nasb@Acts:22:9" @And those who were with me saw the light, to be sure, but did not understand the voice of the One who was speaking to 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:22:12" @A certain Ananias, a man who was devout by the standard of the Law, and well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there,

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:22:16 @'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.'

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:22:18 @and I saw Him saying to me, ' Make haste, and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about Me.'

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:22:21" @And He said to me, 'Go! For I will send you far away to the Gentiles.'"

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:22:23 @And as they were crying out and throwing off their cloaks and tossing dust into the air,

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:22:25 @But when they stretched him out with thongs, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman and uncondemned?"

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:22:27 @The commander came and said to him, "Tell me, are you a Roman?" And he said, "Yes."

nasb@Acts:22:28 @The commander answered, "I acquired this citizenship with a large sum of money." And Paul said, "But I was actually born a citizen."

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:22:30 @But on the next day, wishing to know for certain why he had been accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and all the Council to assemble, and brought Paul down and set him before them.

nasb@Acts:23:2 @The high priest Ananias commanded those standing beside him to strike him on the mouth.

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:23:4 @But the bystanders said, "Do you revile God's high priest?"

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:23:7 @As he said this, there occurred a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

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:23:16 @But the son of Paul's sister heard of their ambush, and he came and entered the barracks and told Paul.

nasb@Acts:23:17 @Paul called one of the centurions to him and said, "Lead this young man to the commander, for he has something to report to him."

nasb@Acts:23:18 @So he took him and led him to the commander and said, "Paul the prisoner called me to him and asked me to lead this young man to you since he has something to tell you."

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:23:23 @And he called to him two of the centurions and said, "Get two hundred soldiers ready by the third hour of the night to proceed to Caesarea, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen."

nasb@Acts:23:24 @They were also to provide mounts to put Paul on and bring him safely to Felix the governor.

nasb@Acts:23:25 @And he wrote a letter having this form-

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:23:28" @And wanting to ascertain the charge for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their Council;

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:23:31 @So the soldiers, in accordance with their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

nasb@Acts:23:33 @When these had come to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.

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:24:3 @we acknowledge this in every way and everywhere, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.

nasb@Acts:24:5" @For we have found this man a real pest and a fellow who stirs up dissension among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

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:24:7" @But Lysias the commander came along, and with much violence took him out of our hands,

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:24:16" @In view of this, I also do my best to maintain always a blameless conscience both before God and before men.

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:24:21 @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:24:22 @But Felix, having a more exact knowledge about the Way, put them off, saying, "When Lysias the commander comes down, I will decide your case."

nasb@Acts:24:23 @Then he gave orders to the centurion for him to be kept in custody and yet have some freedom, and not to prevent any of his friends from ministering to him.

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:24:25 @But as he was discussing righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix became frightened and said, "Go away for the present, and when I find time I will summon you."

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:24:27 @But after two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and wishing to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul imprisoned.

nasb@Acts:25:2 @And the chief priests and the leading men of the Jews brought charges against Paul, and they were urging him,

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:25:5" @Therefore," he said, "let the influential men among you go there with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man, let them prosecute him."

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:25:7 @After Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many and serious charges against him which they could not prove,

nasb@Acts:25:9 @But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, answered Paul and said, " Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me on these charges?"

nasb@Acts:25:10 @But Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's tribunal, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also very well know.

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:25:19 @but they simply had some points of disagreement with him about their own religion and about a dead man, Jesus, whom Paul asserted to be alive.

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:25:26 @Agrippa said to Paul, "You are permitted to speak for yourself." Then Paul stretched out his hand and proceeded to make his defense-

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:25:6" @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:25:10" @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:25:12" @While so engaged as I was journeying to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests,

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:25:14" @And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew dialect, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'

nasb@Acts:25:15" @And I said, 'Who are You, Lord?' And the Lord said, 'I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.

nasb@Acts:25:16 @'But get up and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to appoint you a minister and a witness not only to the things which you have seen, but also to the things in which I will appear to you;

nasb@Acts:25:17 @rescuing you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you,

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:25:26" @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:25:29 @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:25:30 @The king stood up and the governor and Bernice, and those who were sitting with them,

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:25:32 @And Agrippa said to Festus, "This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."

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:26:2 @And embarking in an Adramyttian ship, which was about to sail to the regions along the coast of Asia, we put out to sea accompanied by Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica.

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:26:4 @From there we put out to sea and sailed under the shelter of Cyprus because the winds were contrary.

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:26:6 @There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy, and he put us aboard it.

nasb@Acts:26:7 @When we had sailed slowly for a good many days, and with difficulty had arrived off Cnidus, since the wind did not permit us to go farther, we sailed under the shelter of Crete, off Salmone;

nasb@Acts:26:8 @and with difficulty sailing past it we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.

nasb@Acts:26:9 @When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them,

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:26:12 @Because the harbor was not suitable for wintering, the majority reached a decision to put out to sea from there, if somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.

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:26:14 @But before very long there rushed down from the land a violent wind, called Euraquilo;

nasb@Acts:26:15 @and when the ship was caught in it and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and let ourselves be driven along.

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:26:19 @and on the third day they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands.

nasb@Acts:26:20 @Since neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm was assailing us, from then on all hope of our being saved was gradually abandoned.

nasb@Acts:26:21 @When they had gone a long time without food, then Paul stood up in their midst and said, " Men, you ought to have followed my advice and not to have set sail from Crete and incurred this damage and loss.

nasb@Acts:26:23" @For this very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me,

nasb@Acts:26:24 @saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all those who are sailing with you.'

nasb@Acts:26:26" @But we must run aground on a certain island."

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:26:31 @Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these men remain in the ship, you yourselves cannot be saved."

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:26:35 @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:26:36 @All of them were encouraged and they themselves also took food.

nasb@Acts:26:37 @All of us in the ship were two hundred and seventy-six persons.

nasb@Acts:26:39 @When day came, they could not recognize the land; but they did observe a bay with a beach, and they resolved to drive the ship onto it if they could.

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:26:41 @But striking a reef where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern began to be broken up by the force of the waves.

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:27:9 @After this had happened, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases were coming to him and getting cured.

nasb@Acts:27:10 @They also honored us with many marks of respect; and when we were setting sail, they supplied us with all we needed.

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:27:13 @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:27:14 @There we found some brethren, and were invited to stay with them for seven days; and thus we came to Rome.

nasb@Acts:27:15 @And the brethren, when they heard about us, came from there as far as the Market of Appius and Three Inns to meet us; and when Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.

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:27:20" @For this reason, therefore, I requested to see you and to speak with you, for I am wearing this chain for the sake of the hope of Israel."

nasb@Acts:27:21 @They said to him, "We have neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor have any of the brethren come here and reported or spoken anything bad about you.

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:27:26 @saying, ' GO TO THIS PEOPLE AND SAY, " YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING, BUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND; AND YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE;

nasb@Acts:27:27 @FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL, AND WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES; OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT SEE WITH THEIR EYES, AND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN, AND I WOULD HEAL THEM."'

nasb@Acts:27:30 @And he stayed two full years in his own rented quarters and was welcoming all who came to him,

nasb@Acts:27:31 @preaching the kingdom of God and teaching concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all openness, unhindered.

nasb@Romans:1:2 @which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy Scriptures,

nasb@Romans:1:5 @through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name's sake,

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:1:12 @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:1:20 @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:1:25 @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:1:27 @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:1:28 @And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,

nasb@Romans:1:30 @slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

nasb@Romans:1:31 @without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful;

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:2:2 @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:2:7 @to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;

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:2:10 @but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

nasb@Romans:2:12 @For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law;

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:2:17 @But if you bear the name "Jew" and rely upon the Law and boast in God,

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:2:27 @And he who is physically uncircumcised, if he keeps the Law, will he not judge you who though having the letter of the Law and circumcision are a transgressor of the Law?

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:3:4 @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:3:8 @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:3:11 @THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD;

nasb@Romans:3:14" @ WHOSE MOUTH IS FULL OF CURSING AND BITTERNESS";

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:3:21 @But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,

nasb@Romans:3:23 @for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

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:3:30 @since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one.

nasb@Romans:4:3 @For what does the Scripture say? " ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."

nasb@Romans:4:7" @ BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED.

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:4:14 @For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified;

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:4:19 @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:4:25 @He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.

nasb@Romans:5:2 @through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.

nasb@Romans:5:3 @And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;

nasb@Romans:5:4 @and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;

nasb@Romans:5:5 @and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

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:5:15 @But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

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:6:13 @and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

nasb@Romans:6:18 @and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

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:6:22 @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:7:2 @For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.

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:7:6 @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:7:8 @But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.

nasb@Romans:7:9 @I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive and I died;

nasb@Romans:7:10 @and this commandment, which was to result in life, proved to result in death for me;

nasb@Romans:7:11 @for sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me.

nasb@Romans:7:12 @So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

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:7:15 @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:7:23 @but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.

nasb@Romans:7:25 @Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.

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:8:6 @For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,

nasb@Romans:8:8 @and those who are in the flesh cannot please 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:8:22 @For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

nasb@Romans:8:23 @And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.

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:8:30 @and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.

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:9:2 @that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart.

nasb@Romans:9:4 @who are Israelites, to whom belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises,

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:9:9 @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:9:15 @For He says to Moses, " I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION."

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:9:18 @So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires.

nasb@Romans:9:21 @Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use?

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:9:23 @And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory,

nasb@Romans:9:25 @As He says also in Hosea, " I WILL CALL THOSE WHO WERE NOT MY PEOPLE, 'MY PEOPLE,' AND HER WHO WAS NOT BELOVED, 'BELOVED.'"

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:9:28 @FOR THE LORD WILL EXECUTE HIS WORD ON THE EARTH, THOROUGHLY AND QUICKLY."

nasb@Romans:9:29 @And just as Isaiah foretold, " UNLESS THE LORD OF SABAOTH HAD LEFT TO US A POSTERITY, WE WOULD HAVE BECOME LIKE SODOM, AND WOULD HAVE RESEMBLED GOMORRAH."

nasb@Romans:9:33 @just as it is written, " BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."

nasb@Romans:10:1 @Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation.

nasb@Romans:10:3 @For not knowing about God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

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:10:12 @For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him;

nasb@Romans:10:14 @How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?

nasb@Romans:10:17 @So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

nasb@Romans:10:18 @But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed they have; " THEIR VOICE HAS GONE OUT INTO ALL THE EARTH, AND THEIR WORDS TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD."

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:10:20 @And Isaiah is very bold and says, " I WAS FOUND BY THOSE WHO DID NOT SEEK ME, I BECAME MANIFEST TO THOSE WHO DID NOT ASK FOR ME."

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:11:3" @Lord, THEY HAVE KILLED YOUR PROPHETS, THEY HAVE TORN DOWN YOUR ALTARS, AND I ALONE AM LEFT, AND THEY ARE SEEKING MY LIFE."

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:11:7 @What then? What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened;

nasb@Romans:11:8 @just as it is written, " GOD GAVE THEM A SPIRIT OF STUPOR, EYES TO SEE NOT AND EARS TO HEAR NOT, DOWN TO THIS VERY DAY."

nasb@Romans:11:9 @And David says, " LET THEIR TABLE BECOME A SNARE AND A TRAP, AND A STUMBLING BLOCK AND A RETRIBUTION TO THEM.

nasb@Romans:11:10" @ LET THEIR EYES BE DARKENED TO SEE NOT, AND BEND THEIR BACKS FOREVER."

nasb@Romans:11:12 @Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fulfillment be!

nasb@Romans:11:14 @if somehow I might move to jealousy my fellow countrymen and save some of them.

nasb@Romans:11:16 @If the first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are too.

nasb@Romans:11:17 @But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree,

nasb@Romans:11:20 @Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear;

nasb@Romans:11:22 @Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God's kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

nasb@Romans:11:23 @And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

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:11:26 @and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, " THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB."

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:11:29 @for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

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:11:36 @For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.

nasb@Romans:12:1 @Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

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:12:4 @For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function,

nasb@Romans:12:5 @so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

nasb@Romans:12:14 @Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

nasb@Romans:12:15 @Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

nasb@Romans:12:20" @ BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD."

nasb@Romans:13:1 @Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.

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:13:9 @For this, " YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU SHALL NOT COVET," and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, " YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

nasb@Romans:13:12 @The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

nasb@Romans:13:13 @Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy.

nasb@Romans:13:14 @But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.

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:14:4 @Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

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:14:7 @For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself;

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:14:11 @For it is written, " AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD."

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:14:17 @for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Romans:14:18 @For he who in this way serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.

nasb@Romans:14:19 @So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.

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:14:23 @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:15:1 @Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves.

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:15:5 @Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,

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:15:9 @and for the Gentiles to glorify God for His mercy; as it is written, " THEREFORE I WILL GIVE PRAISE TO YOU AMONG THE GENTILES, AND I WILL SING TO YOUR NAME."

nasb@Romans:15:11 @And again, " PRAISE THE LORD ALL YOU GENTILES, AND LET ALL THE PEOPLES PRAISE HIM."

nasb@Romans:15:12 @Again Isaiah says, " THERE SHALL COME THE ROOT OF JESSE, AND HE WHO ARISES TO RULE OVER THE GENTILES, IN HIM SHALL THE GENTILES HOPE."

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:15:18 @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:15:21 @but as it is written, " THEY WHO HAD NO NEWS OF HIM SHALL SEE, AND THEY WHO HAVE NOT HEARD SHALL UNDERSTAND."

nasb@Romans:15:23 @but now, with no further place for me in these regions, and since I have had for many years a longing to come to you

nasb@Romans:15:24 @whenever I go to Spain--for I hope to see you in passing, and to be helped on my way there by you, when I have first enjoyed your company for a while--

nasb@Romans:15:26 @For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

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:15:28 @Therefore, when I have finished this, and have put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I will go on by way of you to Spain.

nasb@Romans:15:30 @Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

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:16:2 @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:16:3 @Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

nasb@Romans:16:7 @Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are outstanding among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

nasb@Romans:16:9 @Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

nasb@Romans:16:12 @Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, workers in the Lord. Greet Persis the beloved, who has worked hard in the Lord.

nasb@Romans:16:13 @Greet Rufus, a choice man in the Lord, also his mother and mine.

nasb@Romans:16:14 @Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas and the brethren with them.

nasb@Romans:16:15 @Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.

nasb@Romans:16:17 @Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from 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:16:21 @Timothy my fellow worker greets you, and so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

nasb@Romans:16:23 @Gaius, host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer greets you, and Quartus, the brother.

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:1:1 @Paul, called as an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

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:1:10 @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:1:12 @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:1:19 @For it is written, " I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE."

nasb@1Corinthians:1:22 @For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom;

nasb@1Corinthians:1:23 @but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:24 @but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:25 @Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:27 @but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong,

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:1:30 @But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

nasb@1Corinthians:2:1 @And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:2 @For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:3 @I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling,

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:2:9 @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:2:14 @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:3:1 @And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:3 @for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men?

nasb@1Corinthians:3:4 @For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not mere men?

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:3:8 @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:3:13 @each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work.

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:3:20 @and again, " THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS."

nasb@1Corinthians:3:23 @and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:1 @Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:5 @Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God.

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:4:12 @and we toil, working with our own hands; when we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure;

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:4:17 @For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:19 @But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I shall find out, not the words of those who are arrogant but their power.

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:5:4 @In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

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:5:10 @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:6:1 @Does any one of you, when he has a case against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and not before the saints?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:6 @but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:8 @On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your brethren.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:11 @Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:13 @Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.

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:6:19 @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:7:2 @But because of immoralities, each man is to have his own wife, and each woman is to have her own husband.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:3 @The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:4 @The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

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:7:6 @But this I say by way of concession, not of command.

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:7:13 @And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not send her husband away.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:14 @For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:16 @For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?

nasb@1Corinthians:7:17 @Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And so I direct in all the churches.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:19 @Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is the keeping of the commandments of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:25 @Now concerning virgins I have no command of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one who by the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:28 @But if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:30 @and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;

nasb@1Corinthians:7:31 @and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it; for the form of this world is passing away.

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:7:37 @But he who stands firm in his heart, being under no constraint, but has authority over his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin daughter, he will do well.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:38 @So then both he who gives his own virgin daughter in marriage does well, and he who does not give her in marriage will do better.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:39 @A wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband is dead, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

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:8:4 @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:8:5 @For even if there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords,

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:8:12 @And so, by sinning against the brethren and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:4 @Do we not have a right to eat and drink?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:5 @Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:6 @Or do only Barnabas and I not have a right to refrain from working?

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:9:10 @Or is He speaking altogether for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing the crops.

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:9:27 @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:10:2 @and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:3 @and all ate the same spiritual food;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:4 @and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ.

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:10:8 @Nor let us act immorally, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:9 @Nor let us try the Lord, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the serpents.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:10 @Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:11 @Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

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:10:20 @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:10:21 @You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:26 @FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S, AND ALL IT CONTAINS.

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:11:2 @Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you.

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:11:5 @But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:7 @For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

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:11:18 @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:11:21 @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:11:24 @and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

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:11:30 @For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep.

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:12:5 @And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:8 @For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;

nasb@1Corinthians:12:9 @to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

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:12:11 @But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:12 @For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:13 @For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:15 @If the foot says, "Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:16 @And if the ear says, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:21 @And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; or again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."

nasb@1Corinthians:12:23 @and those members of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable,

nasb@1Corinthians:12:26 @And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:27 @Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it.

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:13:1 @If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:2 @If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:3 @And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:4 @Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,

nasb@1Corinthians:13:9 @For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

nasb@1Corinthians:14:2 @For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.

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:14:10 @There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and no kind is without meaning.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:11 @If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be to the one who speaks a barbarian, and the one who speaks will be a barbarian to me.

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:14:19 @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:14:21 @In the Law it is written, " BY MEN OF STRANGE TONGUES AND BY THE LIPS OF STRANGERS I WILL SPEAK TO THIS PEOPLE, AND EVEN SO THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME," says the Lord.

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:14:24 @But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an ungifted man enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all;

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:14:27 @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:14:28 @but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:29 @Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:31 @For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted;

nasb@1Corinthians:14:32 @and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets;

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:14:37 @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:14:39 @Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:40 @But all things must be done properly and in an orderly manner.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:1 @Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand,

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:15:8 @and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:9 @For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

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:15:11 @Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:14 @and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:17 @and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.

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:15:32 @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:15:34 @Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:35 @But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?"

nasb@1Corinthians:15:37 @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:15:38 @But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:39 @All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:40 @There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:41 @There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:48 @As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly.

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:15:53 @For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.

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:15:56 @The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law;

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:16:4 @and if it is fitting for me to go also, they will go with me.

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:16:9 @for a wide door for effective service has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

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:16:13 @Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

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:16:18 @For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge such men.

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:16:21 @The greeting is in my own hand--Paul.

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:1:6 @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:1:10 @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:1:12 @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:1:16 @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:1:18 @But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yes and no.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:19 @For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us--by me and Silvanus and Timothy--was not yes and no, but is yes in Him.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:21 @Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,

nasb@2Corinthians:1:22 @who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.

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:2:4 @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:2:12 @Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ and when a door was opened for me in the Lord,

nasb@2Corinthians:2:14 @But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:15 @For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;

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:3:2 @You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;

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:3:17 @Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:3 @And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,

nasb@2Corinthians:4:5 @For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus' sake.

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:4:14 @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: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:5:6 @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:5:11 @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:5:15 @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:5:18 @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:6:1 @And working together with Him, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain--

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:6:7 @in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left,

nasb@2Corinthians:6:8 @by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true;

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:6:16 @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:7:1 @Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

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:7:7 @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:7:13 @For this reason we have been comforted. And besides our comfort, we rejoiced even much more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:15 @His affection abounds all the more toward you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling.

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:8:5 @and this, not as we had expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God.

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:8:8 @I am not speaking this as a command, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity of your love also.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:13 @For this is not for the ease of others and for your affliction, but by way of 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:8:19 @and not only this, but he has also been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work, which is being administered by us for the glory of the Lord Himself, and to show our readiness,

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:8:23 @As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; as for our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, a glory to Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:24 @Therefore openly before the churches, show them the proof of your love and of our reason for boasting about 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:9:4 @otherwise if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we--not to speak of you--will be put to shame by this confidence.

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:9:6 @Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

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:9:10 @Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness;

nasb@2Corinthians:9:13 @Because of the proof given by this ministry, they will glorify God for your obedience to your confession of the gospel of Christ and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all,

nasb@2Corinthians:10:1 @Now I, Paul, myself urge you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ--I who am meek when face to face with you, but bold toward you when absent!

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:10:6 @and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.

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:10:10 @For they say, "His letters are weighty and strong, but his personal presence is unimpressive and his speech contemptible."

nasb@2Corinthians:10:12 @For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.

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: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:11:4 @For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:9 @and when I was present with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for when the brethren came from Macedonia they fully supplied my need, and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will continue to do so.

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:11:27 @I have been in labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.

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:11:33 @and I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and so escaped his hands.

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:12:3 @And I know how such a man--whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows--

nasb@2Corinthians:12:4 @was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak.

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:12:12 @The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by signs and wonders and miracles.

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:12:15 @I will most gladly spend and be expended for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less?

nasb@2Corinthians:12:18 @I urged Titus to go, and I sent the brother with him. Titus did not take any advantage of you, did he? Did we not conduct ourselves in the same spirit and walk in the same steps?

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:13:3 @since you are seeking for proof of the Christ who speaks in me, and who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you.

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@2Corinthians:13:11 @Finally, brethren, rejoice, be made complete, be comforted, be like-minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:14 @The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

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:1:7 @which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.

nasb@Galatians:1:13 @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:1:21 @Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

nasb@Galatians:1:24 @And they were glorifying God because of me.

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:2:9 @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:2:12 @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:2:14 @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:2:20" @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: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:3:8 @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:3:16 @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:3:29 @And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise.

nasb@Galatians:4:2 @but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the 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:4:9 @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:4:14 @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:4:18 @But it is good always to be eagerly sought in a commendable manner, and not only when I am present with you.

nasb@Galatians:4:20 @but I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

nasb@Galatians:4:22 @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:4:25 @Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

nasb@Galatians:4:27 @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:4:30 @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: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:5:3 @And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law.

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:5:21 @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:5:24 @Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

nasb@Galatians:6:2 @Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.

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:6:10 @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:6:14 @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:6:16 @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@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:1:8 @which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight

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:1:15 @For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints,

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:1:19 @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:1:22 @And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church,

nasb@Ephesians:2:1 @And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,

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:2:6 @and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places 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:2:10 @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:2:14 @For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,

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:2:17 @AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR;

nasb@Ephesians:2:19 @So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household,

nasb@Ephesians:2:20 @having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,

nasb@Ephesians:3:4 @By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,

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:3:9 @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:3:12 @in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him.

nasb@Ephesians:3:15 @from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,

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:3:21 @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:4:4 @There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling;

nasb@Ephesians:4:6 @one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.

nasb@Ephesians:4:8 @Therefore it says, " WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN."

nasb@Ephesians:4:11 @And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,

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:4:14 @As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;

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:4:19 @and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.

nasb@Ephesians:4:21 @if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus,

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:4:26 @BE ANGRY, AND yet DO NOT SIN; do not let the sun go down on your anger,

nasb@Ephesians:4:27 @and do not give the devil an opportunity.

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:4:31 @Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

nasb@Ephesians:5:2 @and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.

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:5:9 @(for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth),

nasb@Ephesians:5:14 @For this reason it says, " Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine on you."

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:5:19 @speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;

nasb@Ephesians:5:21 @and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.

nasb@Ephesians:5:22 @Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

nasb@Ephesians:5:23 @For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.

nasb@Ephesians:5:24 @But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.

nasb@Ephesians:5:25 @Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,

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:5:28 @So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;

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:6:5 @Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ;

nasb@Ephesians:6:7 @With good will render service, as to the Lord, and not to men,

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:6:10 @Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.

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:6:12 @For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

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:6:21 @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:1:1 @Paul and Timothy, bond-servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons-

nasb@Philippians:1:2 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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:1:11 @having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

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:1:15 @Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will;

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:1:21 @For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

nasb@Philippians:1:22 @But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose.

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:1:27 @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:1:30 @experiencing the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

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:2:7 @but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.

nasb@Philippians:2:9 @For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,

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:2:17 @But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.

nasb@Philippians:2:18 @You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

nasb@Philippians:2:24 @and I trust in the Lord that I myself also will be coming shortly.

nasb@Philippians:2:25 @But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my need;

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:2:29 @Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and hold men like him in high regard;

nasb@Philippians:3:1 @Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.

nasb@Philippians:3:3 @for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh,

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:3:13 @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:3:19 @whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things.

nasb@Philippians:4:1 @Therefore, my beloved brethren whom I long to see, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.

nasb@Philippians:4:2 @I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to live in harmony in the Lord.

nasb@Philippians:4:3 @Indeed, true companion, I ask you also to help these women who have shared my struggle in the cause of the gospel, together with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

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:4:7 @And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

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:4:9 @The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

nasb@Philippians:4:12 @I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.

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:4:18 @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:4:19 @And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Philippians:4:20 @Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@Colossians:1:1 @Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

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:1:4 @since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints;

nasb@Colossians:1:6 @which has come to you, just as in all the world also it is constantly bearing fruit and increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth;

nasb@Colossians:1:8 @and he also informed us of your love in the Spirit.

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:1:13 @For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,

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:1:17 @He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

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:1:20 @and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.

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:1:26 @that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints,

nasb@Colossians:1:28 @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:2:3 @in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

nasb@Colossians:2:5 @For even though I am absent in body, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good discipline and the stability of your faith in Christ.

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:2:10 @and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority;

nasb@Colossians:2:11 @and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ;

nasb@Colossians:2:13 @When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions,

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:2:15 @When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.

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:2:19 @and not holding fast to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God.

nasb@Colossians:2:21" @Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!"

nasb@Colossians:2:22 @(which all refer to things destined to perish with use)--in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men?

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:3:3 @For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

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:3:7 @and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them.

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:3:11 @a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all.

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:3:13 @bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.

nasb@Colossians:3:15 @Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.

nasb@Colossians:3:16 @Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

nasb@Colossians:3:18 @Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

nasb@Colossians:3:19 @Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.

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:4:7 @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:4:10 @Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you his greetings; and also Barnabas's cousin Mark (about whom you received instructions; if he comes to you, welcome him);

nasb@Colossians:4:11 @and also Jesus who is called Justus; these are the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are from the circumcision, and they have proved to be an encouragement to me.

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:4:14 @Luke, the beloved physician, sends you his greetings, and also Demas.

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:4:18 @I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my imprisonment. Grace be with you.

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:2:2 @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:2:9 @For you recall, brethren, our labor and hardship, how working night and day so as not to be a burden to any of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:10 @You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and uprightly and blamelessly we behaved toward you believers;

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:2:14 @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:2:15 @who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out. They are not pleasing to God, but hostile to all men,

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:18 @For we wanted to come to you--I, Paul, more than once--and yet Satan hindered us.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:20 @For you are our glory and joy.

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:2 @and we sent Timothy, our brother and God's fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you as to your faith,

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:3:7 @for this reason, brethren, in all our distress and affliction we were comforted about you through your faith;

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:8 @for now we really live, if you stand firm in the Lord.

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:3:12 @and may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for 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:4:4 @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:4:11 @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:4:14 @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:4:16 @For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:17 @Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:1 @Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:3 @While they are saying, " Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:5 @for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness;

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:6 @so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober.

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:5:11 @Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.

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:5:15 @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:5:23 @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@1Thessalonians:5:24 @Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.

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:1:4 @therefore, we ourselves speak proudly of you among the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in the midst of all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:7 @and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire,

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:8 @dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:9 @These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,

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:2:3 @Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

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:2:6 @And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.

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:2:10 @and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.

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:2:15 @So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us.

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:2:17 @comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word.

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:3:3 @But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.

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:3:5 @May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.

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:3:12 @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@2Thessalonians:3:17 @I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand, and this is a distinguishing mark in every letter; this is the way I write.

nasb@1Timothy:1:1 @Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and of Christ Jesus, who is our hope,

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:1:4 @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:1:5 @But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere 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:1:9 @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:1:13 @even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;

nasb@1Timothy:1:14 @and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus.

nasb@1Timothy:1:17 @Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

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:1:19 @keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.

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:2:3 @This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

nasb@1Timothy:2:4 @who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

nasb@1Timothy:2:5 @For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

nasb@1Timothy:2:7 @For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle ( I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

nasb@1Timothy:2:8 @Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.

nasb@1Timothy:2:9 @Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments,

nasb@1Timothy:2:13 @For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve.

nasb@1Timothy:2:14 @And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.

nasb@1Timothy:2:15 @But women will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.

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:3:12 @Deacons must be husbands of only one wife, and good managers of their children and their own households.

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: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:4:2 @by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron,

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:4:5 @for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.

nasb@1Timothy:4:6 @In pointing out these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following.

nasb@1Timothy:4:7 @But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness;

nasb@1Timothy:4:8 @for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

nasb@1Timothy:4:10 @For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

nasb@1Timothy:4:11 @Prescribe and teach these things.

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:4:14 @Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed on you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery.

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:5:2 @the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, in all purity.

nasb@1Timothy:5:4 @but if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice piety in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

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:5:8 @But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

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:5:13 @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:5:14 @Therefore, I want younger widows to get married, bear children, keep house, and give the enemy no occasion for reproach;

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:5:18 @For the Scripture says, " YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE HE IS THRESHING," and " The laborer is worthy of his wages."

nasb@1Timothy:5:21 @I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels, to maintain these principles without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality.

nasb@1Timothy:5:22 @Do not lay hands upon anyone too hastily and thereby share responsibility for the sins of others; keep yourself free from sin.

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:6:2 @Those who have believers as their masters must not be disrespectful to them because they are brethren, but must serve them all the more, because those who partake of the benefit are believers and beloved. Teach and preach these principles.

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:6:4 @he is conceited and understands nothing; but he has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions,

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:6:8 @If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content.

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:6:10 @For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

nasb@1Timothy:6:11 @But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness.

nasb@1Timothy:6:12 @Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

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:6:16 @who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.

nasb@1Timothy:6:18 @Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share,

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@1Timothy:6:21 @which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith. Grace be with you.

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:1:5 @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:1:6 @For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

nasb@2Timothy:1:7 @For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.

nasb@2Timothy:1:9 @who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity,

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:1:11 @for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher.

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:1:13 @Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

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:1:16 @The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains;

nasb@2Timothy:1:17 @but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me--

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:2:7 @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:2:14 @Remind them of these things, and solemnly charge them in the presence of God not to wrangle about words, which is useless and leads to the ruin of the hearers.

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:2:17 @and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

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:2:20 @Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor.

nasb@2Timothy:2:22 @Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

nasb@2Timothy:2:23 @But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels.

nasb@2Timothy:2:26 @and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.

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:3:7 @always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

nasb@2Timothy:3:8 @Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.

nasb@2Timothy:3:9 @But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes's and Jambres's folly was also.

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:3:13 @But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

nasb@2Timothy:3:14 @You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them,

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:3:16 @All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;

nasb@2Timothy:4:1 @I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom-

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:4:4 @and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.

nasb@2Timothy:4:6 @For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.

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:4:11 @Only Luke is with me. Pick up Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.

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:4:14 @Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

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:4:18 @The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@2Timothy:4:19 @Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

nasb@2Timothy:4:21 @Make every effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, also Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren.

nasb@Titus:1:1 @Paul, a bond-servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of those chosen of God and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

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:1:9 @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:1:10 @For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,

nasb@Titus:1:14 @not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

nasb@Titus:1:15 @To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

nasb@Titus:1:16 @They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and worthless for any good deed.

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:2:12 @instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age,

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:2:14 @who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

nasb@Titus:2:15 @These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you.

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:3:4 @But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared,

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:3:8 @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:3:9 @But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.

nasb@Titus:3:10 @Reject a factious man after a first and second warning,

nasb@Titus:3:11 @knowing that such a man is perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned.

nasb@Philemon:1:2 @and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house-

nasb@Philemon:1:3 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Philemon:1:5 @because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints;

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:1:7 @For I have come to have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

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:1:11 @who formerly was useless to you, but now is useful both to you and to me.

nasb@Philemon:1:16 @no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

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@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:1:6 @And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says, " AND LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM."

nasb@Hebrews:1:7 @And of the angels He says, " WHO MAKES HIS ANGELS WINDS, AND HIS MINISTERS A FLAME OF FIRE."

nasb@Hebrews:1:8 @But of the Son He says, " YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER, AND THE RIGHTEOUS SCEPTER IS THE SCEPTER OF HIS KINGDOM.

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:1:11 @THEY WILL PERISH, BUT YOU REMAIN; AND THEY ALL WILL BECOME OLD LIKE A GARMENT,

nasb@Hebrews:1:12 @AND LIKE A MANTLE YOU WILL ROLL THEM UP; LIKE A GARMENT THEY WILL ALSO BE CHANGED. BUT YOU ARE THE SAME, AND YOUR YEARS WILL NOT COME TO AN END."

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:2:2 @For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty,

nasb@Hebrews:2:4 @God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.

nasb@Hebrews:2:7" @ YOU HAVE MADE HIM FOR A LITTLE WHILE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS; YOU HAVE CROWNED HIM WITH GLORY AND HONOR, AND HAVE APPOINTED HIM OVER THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS;

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:2:13 @And again, " I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM." And again, " BEHOLD, I AND THE CHILDREN WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN ME."

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:3:1 @Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession;

nasb@Hebrews:3:6 @but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house-- whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.

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:3:17 @And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

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:4:4 @For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day- " AND GOD RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS";

nasb@Hebrews:4:5 @and again in this passage, " THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST."

nasb@Hebrews:4:6 @Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience,

nasb@Hebrews:4:12 @For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

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:4:16 @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:5:1 @For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

nasb@Hebrews:5:2 @he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is beset with weakness;

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:5:4 @And no one takes the honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even as Aaron was.

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:5:11 @Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

nasb@Hebrews:5:12 @For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

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:6:2 @of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.

nasb@Hebrews:6:3 @And this we will do, if God permits.

nasb@Hebrews:6:4 @For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

nasb@Hebrews:6:5 @and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,

nasb@Hebrews:6:6 @and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.

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:6:8 @but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned.

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:6:10 @For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints.

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:6:14 @saying, " I WILL SURELY BLESS YOU AND I WILL SURELY MULTIPLY YOU."

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:6:19 @This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil,

nasb@Hebrews:7:1 @For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

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:7:5 @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:7:6 @But the one whose genealogy is not traced from them collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed the one who had the promises.

nasb@Hebrews:7:9 @And, so to speak, through Abraham even Levi, who received tithes, paid tithes,

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:7:15 @And this is clearer still, if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek,

nasb@Hebrews:7:18 @For, on the one hand, there is a setting aside of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness

nasb@Hebrews:7:19 @(for the Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

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:7:24 @but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently.

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:7:27 @who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

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:8:2 @a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

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:8:5 @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:8:8 @For finding fault with them, He says, " BEHOLD, DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD, WHEN I WILL EFFECT A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH;

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:8:12" @ FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES, AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE."

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:9:2 @For there was a tabernacle prepared, the outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this is called the holy place.

nasb@Hebrews:9:4 @having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron's rod which budded, and the tables of the covenant;

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:9:7 @but into the second, only the high priest enters once a year, not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.

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:9:9 @which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience,

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:9:19 @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:9:20 @saying, " THIS IS THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT WHICH GOD COMMANDED YOU."

nasb@Hebrews:9:21 @And in the same way he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood.

nasb@Hebrews:9:22 @And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

nasb@Hebrews:9:24 @For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

nasb@Hebrews:9:27 @And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,

nasb@Hebrews:10:1 @For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near.

nasb@Hebrews:10:4 @For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

nasb@Hebrews:10:5 @Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, " SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME;

nasb@Hebrews:10:6 @IN WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE TAKEN NO PLEASURE.

nasb@Hebrews:10:8 @After saying above, " SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS AND WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, NOR HAVE YOU TAKEN PLEASURE in them" (which are offered according to the Law),

nasb@Hebrews:10:11 @Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never 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:10:15 @And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,

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:10:17" @ AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE."

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:10:25 @not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

nasb@Hebrews:10:27 @but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.

nasb@Hebrews:10:29 @How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

nasb@Hebrews:10:30 @For we know Him who said, " VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY." And again, " THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE."

nasb@Hebrews:10:31 @It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

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:10:37 @FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.

nasb@Hebrews:10:38 @BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH; AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.

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:11:8 @By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.

nasb@Hebrews:11:9 @By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise;

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:11:15 @And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.

nasb@Hebrews:11:17 @By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son;

nasb@Hebrews:11:20 @By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even regarding things to come.

nasb@Hebrews:11:21 @By faith Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

nasb@Hebrews:11:22 @By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones.

nasb@Hebrews:11:23 @By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

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:11:36 @and others experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also chains and imprisonment.

nasb@Hebrews:11:38 @(men of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes in the ground.

nasb@Hebrews:11:39 @And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised,

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:12:6 @FOR THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES, AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES."

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:12:12 @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:12:18 @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:12:20 @For they could not bear the command, " IF EVEN A BEAST TOUCHES THE MOUNTAIN, IT WILL BE STONED."

nasb@Hebrews:12:21 @And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, " I AM FULL OF FEAR and trembling."

nasb@Hebrews:12:22 @But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,

nasb@Hebrews:12:23 @to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,

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:12:26 @And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, " YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN."

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:13:7 @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:13:8 @Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

nasb@Hebrews:13:9 @Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

nasb@Hebrews:13:16 @And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

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:13:19 @And I urge you all the more to do this, so that I may be restored to you the sooner.

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:13:24 @Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.

nasb@James:1:1 @James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad- Greetings.

nasb@James:1:4 @And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

nasb@James:1:5 @But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

nasb@James:1:6 @But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

nasb@James:1:10 @and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.

nasb@James:1:11 @For the sun rises with a scorching wind and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.

nasb@James:1:13 @Let no one say when he is tempted, " I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.

nasb@James:1:14 @But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.

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:1:19 @This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;

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:1:22 @But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.

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:1:26 @If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless.

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:2:2 @For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes,

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:2:4 @have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives?

nasb@James:2:5 @Listen, my beloved brethren- did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

nasb@James:2:6 @But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you and personally drag you into court?

nasb@James:2:9 @But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

nasb@James:2:10 @For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.

nasb@James:2:12 @So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty.

nasb@James:2:15 @If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food,

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:2:18 @But someone may well say, "You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works."

nasb@James:2:19 @You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.

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:2:23 @and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, " AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS," and he was called the friend of God.

nasb@James:2:24 @You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

nasb@James:2:25 @In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?

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:3:8 @But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison.

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:3:10 @from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way.

nasb@James:3:11 @Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water?

nasb@James:3:13 @Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.

nasb@James:3:14 @But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.

nasb@James:3:16 @For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.

nasb@James:3:17 @But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.

nasb@James:3:18 @And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

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:4:2 @You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.

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:4:7 @Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

nasb@James:4:8 @Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

nasb@James:4:9 @Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.

nasb@James:4:10 @Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

nasb@James:4:11 @Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it.

nasb@James:4:12 @There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor?

nasb@James:4:13 @Come now, you who say, " Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit."

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:4:17 @Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.

nasb@James:5:1 @Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you.

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:5:4 @Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and which has been withheld by you, cries out against you; and the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

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:5:9 @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:5:14 @Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;

nasb@James:5:15 @and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.

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:5:18 @Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.

nasb@James:5:19 @My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back,

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:1:4 @to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,

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:1:10 @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:1:19 @but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.

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:1:24 @For, " ALL FLESH IS LIKE GRASS, AND ALL ITS GLORY LIKE THE FLOWER OF GRASS. THE GRASS WITHERS, AND THE FLOWER FALLS OFF,

nasb@1Peter:1:25 @BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER." And this is the word which was preached to you.

nasb@1Peter:2:1 @Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander,

nasb@1Peter:2:4 @And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God,

nasb@1Peter:2:6 @For this is contained in Scripture- " BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."

nasb@1Peter:2:8 @and, " A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE"; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed.

nasb@1Peter:2:11 @Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul.

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:2:14 @or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right.

nasb@1Peter:2:16 @Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God.

nasb@1Peter:2:18 @Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are unreasonable.

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:2:25 @For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

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:3:2 @as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior.

nasb@1Peter:3:3 @Your adornment must not be merely external--braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses;

nasb@1Peter:3:4 @but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

nasb@1Peter:3:5 @For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands;

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:3:10 @For, " THE ONE WHO DESIRES LIFE, TO LOVE AND SEE GOOD DAYS, MUST KEEP HIS TONGUE FROM EVIL AND HIS LIPS FROM SPEAKING DECEIT.

nasb@1Peter:3:11" @ HE MUST TURN AWAY FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD; HE MUST SEEK PEACE AND PURSUE IT.

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:3:19 @in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison,

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:4:5 @but they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

nasb@1Peter:4:7 @The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer.

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:4:14 @If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

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: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:5:2 @shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness;

nasb@1Peter:5:4 @And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.

nasb@1Peter:5:5 @You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.

nasb@1Peter:5:6 @Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time,

nasb@1Peter:5:10 @After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.

nasb@1Peter:5:11 @To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.

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@1Peter:5:13 @She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, and so does my son, Mark.

nasb@2Peter:1:1 @Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ-

nasb@2Peter:1:2 @Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;

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:1:5 @Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge,

nasb@2Peter:1:6 @and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness,

nasb@2Peter:1:7 @and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.

nasb@2Peter:1:8 @For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@2Peter:1:10 @Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble;

nasb@2Peter:1:11 @for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you.

nasb@2Peter:1:12 @Therefore, I will always be ready to remind you of these things, even though you already know them, and have been established in the truth which is present with you.

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:1:16 @For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

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:1:18 @and we ourselves heard this utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

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:2:2 @Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned;

nasb@2Peter:2:3 @and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

nasb@2Peter:2:4 @For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment;

nasb@2Peter:2:5 @and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;

nasb@2Peter:2:6 @and if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly lives thereafter;

nasb@2Peter:2:7 @and if He rescued righteous Lot, oppressed by the sensual conduct of unprincipled men

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:2:10 @and especially those who indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties,

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:2:13 @suffering wrong as the wages of doing wrong. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are stains and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, as they carouse with you,

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:2:20 @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:2:21 @For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them.

nasb@2Peter:2:22 @It has happened to them according to the true proverb, " A DOG RETURNS TO ITS OWN VOMIT," and, "A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire."

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:3:4 @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:3:7 @But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

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:3:10 @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:3:13 @But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

nasb@2Peter:3:14 @Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless,

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:3:16 @as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.

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@2Peter:3:18 @but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

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:1:5 @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:1:7 @but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

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:1:9 @If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

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:2:4 @The one who says, " I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;

nasb@1John:2:7 @Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard.

nasb@1John:2:8 @On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.

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:2:10 @The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

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:2:14 @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:2:16 @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:2:17 @The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.

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:2:20 @But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know.

nasb@1John:2:21 @I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

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:2:24 @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:2:27 @As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.

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: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:3:3 @And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

nasb@1John:3:4 @Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

nasb@1John:3:5 @You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.

nasb@1John:3:9 @No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

nasb@1John:3:10 @By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious- anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.

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:3:15 @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:3:17 @But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?

nasb@1John:3:18 @Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.

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:4:3 @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:4:5 @They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them.

nasb@1John:4:6 @We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

nasb@1John:4:7 @Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

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:4:16 @We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

nasb@1John:4:18 @There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.

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:5:6 @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:5:8 @the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.

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:5:15 @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:1:1 @The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not only I, but also all who know the truth,

nasb@2John:1:2 @for the sake of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever-

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:1:7 @For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.

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:1:10 @If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting;

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:1:5 @Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers;

nasb@1John:1:6 @and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

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:1:12 @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@1John:1:13 @I had many things to write to you, but I am not willing to write them to you with pen and ink;

nasb@1John:1:14 @but I hope to see you shortly, and we will speak face to face.

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:1:2 @May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.

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:1:7 @just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

nasb@Jude:1:8 @Yet in the same way these men, also by dreaming, defile the flesh, and reject authority, and revile angelic majesties.

nasb@Jude:1:9 @But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, " The Lord rebuke you!"

nasb@Jude:1:10 @But these men revile the things which they do not understand; and the things which they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed.

nasb@Jude:1:11 @Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.

nasb@Jude:1:13 @wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever.

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:1:15 @to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."

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:1:22 @And have mercy on some, who are doubting;

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@Jude:1:25 @to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

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,
